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 to his head did. Dio throws a burning chair at the two of them, and Jonathan pushes Speedwagon out of the way telling him to flee the mansion. 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 spreads 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 he continues to climb up the stairs of the Joestar mansion. Amused by Jojo's will to save his friend, Dio decides that he will go after Jonathan and use his blood to heal his burns, and kill Speedwagon afterward. He follows Jonathan to the second floor by walking up the wall, jamming his feet into it with each step.
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, bending it an rendering it useless. Meanwhile, Speedwagon has escaped the mansion and is standing outside, wondering why Jonathan went deeper inside. 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.
