"Huh? But isn't our destination Cape Canaveral?"
Emporio was a bit confused.
Just then, Kai Ishida, who had been sitting in a chair reading a comic book, put the comic book aside and said to Emporio, "Do as she says."
"The Joestar bloodline will guide us to Father Pucci."
"Cape Canaveral is indeed the condition for ascending to Heaven, but before that, Father Pucci might also find a few helpers to escort him to Heaven."
Kai Ishida was very sensitive to the black stick figures that had disappeared from the road sign.
Having read the plot thoroughly, he knew that it was Ungalo, DIO's son, and his Stand.
Bohemian Rhapsody.
This meant that due to 'gravity,' Father Pucci had already made contact with DIO's three sons and, through their bloodline, helped them awaken their Stands.
This was also why he had been reading comic books the entire way.
The characters in the comic book hadn't disappeared yet, which meant that Ungalo still couldn't control his Stand ability according to his own will.
Meanwhile, on the ground.
A man in a cow suit was holding binoculars, monitoring their movements.
"Damn it, they've turned around, and... that direction is Orlando, they've already discovered Father Pucci's location!" The man re-hung the binoculars around his neck, his eyes showing a hint of sharpness.
The man, Rikiel, was DIO's third son. Father Pucci's words had successfully convinced him that he existed to escort Father Pucci to Heaven.
His purpose on this trip was to eliminate Kai Ishida and the others on the plane.
"But the opponent has Star Platinum, which can stop time. I need to find a place that can restrict his movements," Rikiel thought, then mounted his motorcycle.
"Vroom—"
The motorcycle, at full speed, was closely following the helicopter carrying Kai Ishida and the others.
Five minutes later, Rikiel could already see the city in the distance, and the motorcycle could no longer proceed.
Ahead was a large wetland.
The sticky, soft marshland was the best environment to restrict human movement.
"This is it!"
"Sky High!"
Rikiel's eyes narrowed, and countless white unidentified flying objects streaked past his ears, flying towards the helicopter in the sky.
At the same time, the people in the helicopter had not yet realized the danger approaching.
Jolyne was napping with her eyes closed, while Ermes was reading a magazine.
F.F. held a thermos cup, replenishing her water.
Kai Ishida, as usual, was reading a comic book.
However, just then, Emporio, who was in the pilot's seat, let out a scream:
"My, my eyelids suddenly won't open!!"
"What!" Kai Ishida instantly became alert, and then wanted to close the window directly.
But then he realized that his arm felt incredibly heavy; he couldn't even manage such a simple action as lifting it.
"Damn it, it's the enemy's Stand ability."
The comic book fell from his hand, and Kai Ishida also noticed the white mark in the center of his palm.
That was a sign of excessively low temperature.
The body temperature of his arm had been stolen by the enemy's Stand ability!
"Jolyne, can you still use your Stand ability?" Kai Ishida shouted.
At this moment, Jolyne Cujoh's eyelids were also incredibly heavy, completely unable to open.
"I, I still can..."
"Stone Free!"
A blue and white Stand appeared behind Jolyne, placing its hands on her face and forcibly prying open her eyelids.
"Is it the enemy's Stand?! But why didn't I notice it at all?"
"Don't worry about that for now, quickly close the window. I'll tell you about the enemy's Stand ability later," Kai Ishida said with difficulty. The ability of Sky High had already taken too much of his body temperature, and now he couldn't even summon his Stand.
"I understand!" Jolyne nodded, and the Stand's threads began to spread, weaving a large net by the window. The Sky High creatures that hadn't yet invaded the helicopter were blocked outside.
But there were still many Sky High creatures scurrying inside the helicopter.
And they were continuously stealing the body temperature of Kai Ishida and his companions.
Among these people, only one person's body temperature had not been taken.
That was F.F., who had been drinking hot beverages.
"Hey, F.F., splash me with the coffee in your hand," Kai Ishida said with difficulty.
"Eh?!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Although F.F. was a bit confused, the sudden situation inside the plane made her instinctively do as Kai Ishida said.
"Splash—"
The warm coffee spilled all over him, and Kai Ishida successfully recovered some of his lost body temperature.
It had reached the condition sufficient to summon his Stand.
"Star Platinum!"
"Time, stop flowing!"
Star Platinum instantly appeared behind Kai Ishida, and with a raise of his hand, he paused time.
And as time was paused, Kai Ishida successfully saw the things that had stolen his body temperature.
Sky High.
Rod-shaped creatures, traveling at speeds of up to two hundred kilometers per hour, making them very difficult to detect with the naked eye.
But!
During a time stop, except for the initiator of the time stop or those who have mastered the power of time stop and can move freely, all other creatures must remain still.
Even Sky High was no exception!
"ora!"
Star Platinum's fist swung out fiercely, smashing a Sky High creature in half.
Then it continued to swing repeatedly.
"ora ora ora ora ora ora ora—"
Time, resume flowing!
"Bang—"
All the Sky High creatures inside the helicopter exploded in an instant, and their remnants disappeared without a trace in a short time.
Just like snow that had experienced warm sunshine.
Melting!
"Phew—"
"Sa, safe."
Kai Ishida gasped for breath, grateful to have narrowly escaped death.
However... Emporio's lost body temperature had not been recovered, and the plane was still plummeting rapidly.
This was no longer a crisis that could be solved by switching back to autopilot!
In less than five seconds.
The plane would crash into the swamp below, and they would all sink into the mud with it.
And for flight safety, both side doors of the helicopter were locked.
The unlock button was on Emporio's right side.
Given their distance, there was no way they could reach that button.
"ora!"
At the critical moment, Kai Ishida mustered some strength again, summoned Star Platinum, and directly punched the cabin door.
"Bang—"
The immense impact twisted and deformed the cabin door!
The lock cylinder also broke directly under that punch.
The cabin door opened!
Air currents and Sky High creatures swept in together.
Just then, Kai Ishida directly grabbed Jolyne Cujoh's forearm and, with immense strength, flung her out.
Seeing this, Jolyne instantly understood Kai Ishida's intention.
"Stone Free!"
