Chapter 15
Summary
Jonathan and Speedwagon look on at Dio burning under the curtain thinking that they have killed him. However, just as soon as they think it Dio pulls the curtain off him, alive still! Though because of the fire, Dio suffers burns, but his burns are rapidly healing just as the bullet wound in his head is doing. Jonathan then warns Speedwagon to flee the mansion as Dio hurls a burning chair at him. Jonathan takes a sword from the wall and uses it to get to the upper level of the foyer as the chair is about to hit him. As the fire is spreading throughout the mansion, Jonathan climbs up to the second floor with the point of the spear still lodged between his collarbone and left shoulder. Jonathan then dares Dio to follow him as runs up the stairs of the Joestar mansion. Dio decides that he will go after Jonathan first to heal his burns and then kill Speedwagon later. He then follows Jonathan up the stairs by walking up the wall, by jamming his feet into it with each step eventually running to get to Jonathan.
Jonathan gets Dio to chase him all the way to the roof where Jonathan thinks they will have their final battle. Jonathan tries to take out the spear head from where it pierced him but Dio kicks it as Jonathan takes it out and this makes it bent and useless. Meanwhile Speedwagon has escaped the mansion and is standing outside it wondering why Jonathan went deeper into the mansion. He then realizes that Jonathan is trying to trick Dio by killing them both in the fire when it gets to them! Back on the roof Jonathan charges at Dio as the floor gives out from under the both of them as they fall back down to the first floor as Speedwagon screams out in fear for his friends safety.
