Chapter 15
Summary
Jonathan and Speedwagon look on at Dio burning under the curtain thinking that they have killed him. However, Dio pulls the curtain off himself, revealing that he is still alive. Dio suffers burns because of the fire, but they are healing rapidly, like the bullet wound in his head did. Jonathan warns Speedwagon to flee the mansion, and 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. He dares Dio to follow him as runs up the stairs of the Joestar mansion. Dio decides that he will go after Jonathan and use his blood to heal his burns, and then kill Speedwagon. He follows Jonathan up the stairs by walking up the wall, jamming his feet into it with each step, and 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 the spear head out of his shoulder to use as a weapon, but Dio kicks it as Jonathan takes it out, making it bent and useless. Meanwhile, Speedwagon has escaped the mansion and is standing outside, wondering why Jonathan went deeper into the mansion. He 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 them. They fall back down to the first floor, and Speedwagon screams out in fear for his friend's safety.
