Giorno looked at Ross and nodded. "It's quite possible... If such were to happen, it would be hard to predict the result. This certainly will be upheld as some sort of mystical disaster, but whether stand's specific existence will become known is really up to fate itself. In any case, the Speedwagon Foundation seems to be our only shelter for the moment. After all of this... I can't return to Italy and still keep face. I think I'll stay with you, Jolyne." Giorno said as he slowly replaced Jolyne's arms with his sleeves.

Jolyne wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and stood up, quickly testing her new arms. "You can do whatever you want... As for me..." Jolyne looked upon the body of her father. "I'll continue what he started." Jolyne took Jotaro's outer jacket and wrapped it around herself. Though it was a bit too large for her body, she still held firmly to it. "I won't let the sacrifices of you all go to waste. Thank you for everything..." Jolyne turned and began to march away from the scene, but suddenly halter and turned back. "You're still...?!" Giorno turned as well to see Joker barely standing, staring at them. They both took an offensive stance, but Joker held up his arm before it quickly slumped to his side.

"It's over... I will die here, along with my dream... and the dreams of all those I have slain as well. In the end, whether I'm justified or not for what I did or what my beliefs were... I'm not sure, but..." Joker smiled slightly. "At least I can die along with the man I respected most and perhaps the legacy of vengeance will truly end with me..." Joker looked at Giorno and Jolyne, who stared at him with narrowed eyes and fist clenched. Laughing began to erupt from Joker's body as he raised his arms to the air, and the sun's rays finally fell upon the world. Joker looked into the sun, as his body slowly began to erode away into dust. There, the memories of the past began flooding into him once again, forcing a tear from his eye. "Oh... Before I forget... Jolyne, watch yourself... There is another." Just after these words were spoken, his body fully faded into dust, and his screaming stand splintered and fell to the earth as singing ash. Jolyne looked slightly worried but shook her head and straightened herself.

Above, Joker's spirit floated above the world, looking down upon the remaining few as they began to depart. "Now, it's time for us to go across the river Styx and to meet our master, wouldn't you say..." Joker turned slightly. "Enrico Pucci?" Pucci floated behind him with a solemn expression, and lowered his head, his eyes closed.

"It is as you say, my greatest friend, and fiercest foe. That is the fate for both of us..."

Joker smiled and patted Pucci on the back as a door of darkness opened in front of them. "Let us go and catch up on old times, my friend." They both walked forward into the jaws of the underworld, being swallowed whole, never to meet the fresh air of the human realm again.

Jolyne and Giorno marched forward out of the compound, meeting a truck commanded by an SPW member. "Our journey has ended, you may go in peace, or follow the path. Sayonara. Until we meet again." Giorno's words fell to the floor as he boarded with Jolyne and set off on an empty road, toward a new adventure.

Meanwhile, in the abandoned lot where heaven had clashed with earth, only a trench coat blew away in the breeze, joined later by the piece of a black hat. Together, they blew off into the horizon, signifying journeys new.
