Summary
Believing that Avdol's will is urging him to keep on living, Polnareff and Iggy flee from Vanilla Ice and head straight towards Dio. However, they are cut off by Vanilla Ice, who bites off Polnareff's toes, limiting his movement. Hiding in the confusion, Iggy attempts to use a sand clone of Dio to attack Vanilla Ice from behind, but he sees through their plan, choosing to attack Iggy himself as punishment for insulting Dio. Polnareff manages to make use of Iggy's leftover sand to determine Vanilla Ice's location and stab him in his mouth, but he fights back deals heavy damage to Polnareff's leg through Silver Chariot. Unable to dodge out of the way as Vanilla Ice's attack closes in on him, Polnareff is left with no choice but to accept the harsh reality and is seemingly destroyed in Vanilla Ice's path.
