Their neighbors speak to Erina, surprised that she survived and finally returned home, though she had never lived in the mansion ever. They gossip about her and Speedwagon, about him being a bachelor, helping Erina rebuild the mansion after it had burned down. They then ask Erina about her life in the Islands. After had having enough of her neighbors, Erina to travels to London instead of staying there. She visits the hospital in which here father, Graham Pendleton had worked; who is now retired. However, Erina and her father had kept in touch while she was in the Canary Islands. Erina begins her own company near the hospital, transferring the headquarters of the Star Mark Trading Company to London. She has her company buy goods in Spain, in which she sells them in England; increasing her companies profits.
Jorge is then transferred to his fathers old school and is bullied there. Jorge's classmates tease him, calling him a fallen aristocrat. But at the same time, jealous of his mother's success in her companies profits. Jorge doesn't pay attention to them, until a classmate insults his mother, leading to a fistfight in which he loses. Erina advises Jorge not to listen to any of his classmates no matter what they say. An infuriated Penelope began summoning her locked rooms against anyone who messed with him. Suffering from boredom, Jorge misses his childhood, and reminisces the times he had spent with Tsukumojuku. From this, he wishes for a friend. Knowing that would not be possible, Jorge spent more time by himself. He began to visit the coast of Wastewood everyday, near its steep cliffs; since it was the best place for him to avoid any other person.
He visits there one day, and sees a girl and a boy carrying a large machine near the cliff. He describes it as a giant bird, thinking they're attempting to make it fly. The girl enters inside the machine, Jorge, laughing in disbelief, tries to call out to her to stop. The boy pushes the machine off the cliff, with her still inside. A shocked Jorge runs towards the nearest, and runs down to save her. He recklessly jumps off the cliff, and tries to enter the machine. Suddenly, the machine flies right past him, confusing Jorge. Realizing his mistake, he braces himself for the ocean water. He is suddenly grabbed by a pair of arms, discovering that it is the boy who had pushed her. He pulls Jorge back up, asking if he is okay. He sees that the boy has a pair of wings on his back, covered in blood.
The boy safely places him on top of the cliff. Still shocked, Jorge watched as the girl had flew around. Filled with jealously, Jorge begs for one of his own. The boy explains what the machine is, claiming that everyone will have their own one day. The boy reveals to Jorge that the machine was called an airplane, which he's never heard of. Jorge watches as the boy folds his wings back up. He apologizes, noticing that the wings looked painful. Realizing that his ability was similar to Penelope's Wound, he asked the boy to forget he asked. He looks back at the glider, stating that he'll fly one of them one day. The boy states that he needed the kind of guts he had while jumping off in order to be a pilot. Jorge notices that no one had ever accused him of having any in the first place.
Jorge learns that the boys name was Steven. And the girl was his younger sister, Kenton. As they took apart the glider, they load it onto the wagon and decide to give Jorge a ride to their house. On the way, Jorge decides to introduce himself. Shocking them, learning that he is the Joestar boy. They state that Jorge's grandfather was friends with their grandfather. Kenton then asks if he knows a girl named Darlington in his class, in which he answers no. They explain that Darlington is part of Jorge's class, though he does not know anyone there because he had just transferred to that school. As they arrive at the Motorize estate, Jorge is greeted by Darlington and her butler, Faraday, at the door. As they introduce each other, Darlington notices Steven's wings, and gets upset at Jorge. Telling him that it takes over 3 weeks in order for his back to heal, meaning he cannot even go to school at that time. Kenton then teases her, saying that she has a crush on Jorge. Some time later, Faraday serves everyone tea, which Jorge describes to be delicious. Jorge wanders around the siblings' work shed, exploring the shelves filled with models and gliders at the back. Steven offers Jorge if he'd like to hang out with them after school if he is interested. Exciting Jorge, being able to finally make friends after Tsukumojuku.
Jorge asks if he could retrieve one of their sunken gliders and make it his own. Steven helps him lift the glider up with his wings and loads its pieces onto the wagon. They take it back to the Joestar manor. Steven offers to help Jorge restore it, refusing, Jorge asks for some documents. He begins to study everything about airplanes and tries to repair it on his own. Jorge learns that the glider he had pulled out was named the "Motorizing 5". And the one he had seen Kenton fly was named the "Motorizing 7". At school, Jorge and Darlington would talk about things. She later loans him books, which he's never read before. Kenton tells Jorge that she is only giving him books just to keep talking to him. Jorge claims that he is already in love with someone else. She teases him, making him feel embarrassed about the fact that he is in love with Lisa Lisa. Kenton believes Jorge is in love with the woman who lives with his mother (Penelope), making him feel even more flustered. Kenton continues raving over Jorge's interest and Steven constantly grins at him.
That night, Jorge had completed the parts of the glider he had saved. He notices claw marks on the upper wing. Kenton had claimed she had hit a seabird as she was flying, but Jorge believes it had been something else. The next day, George visits the Motorize manor again, with Darlington suddenly asking him if he is in love with anyone. He responds by saying no, she claims that she is in love with a boy named William Cardinal, about 2 years older than them. She explains that he is a very intelligent boy, and that he wants to be a doctor. She gives him William's response to Jorge's opinion about one of the novels he had read. Seeing that she is criticizing him, Jorge refuses the book she gives him. She allows him to leave, along the way, Jorge runs into Faraday. Claiming that a friend of his is looking for him. Jorge asks Faraday to describe them, knowing its not Motorize siblings. Faraday explains that he looked like a young boy, who had spoke Spanish. He leads Jorge to another room across the hallway. Jorge looks up, filled with shock. It was his deceased friend Tsukumojuku. He asks how Jorge is, tears filling up Jorge's eyes.
Tsukumojuku claims that he will not be here forever. Feeling as if something had brought him to Jorge. Thinking that this meaning either meant that George wanted him here, or something needed him for Jorge's benefit. Jorge notices that Tsukumojuku was floating about 5 centimeters above the floor. Tsukumojuku explains that he's not actually there. He states that he is currently in Japan, in the year 2012. With another boy named Joji Joestar. He explains that he had been teleported from the Arrow Cross House and has been caught into another case. Tsukumojuku states that he has come to England to help him. Jorge claims that he doesn't need help, saying that he has made friends here. He reaches out his hand, telling Jorge that a girl from his universe needs his help. Jorge asks why he is doing this. Tsukumojuku explains that his Beyond is doing all this, and that it needs the Name of God in order to work. Jorge asks if Tsukumojuku has the Name of God. Tsukumojuku explains that his name is 9, 10, 9, 10, 9 in Fukui dialect. Flipping the kanji for 9, 九, would get the astrological symbol for Jupiter, ♃, Jupiter being the Roman name for the Greek God Zeus. The kanji for ten, 十, is a cross; meaning his name has three all-powerful Gods linked together by two crosses. He believes that if God is the Trinity, then God can be split into three.
As they are holding hands, Tsukumojuku then claims that they will both meet again. He then teleports Jorge to Rome, and discovers that he is now holding the hands of Lisa Lisa. He asks where they are, she states that they are in an underground temple in Rome, claiming that no one has set foot here in over a thousand years. He asks why it is so dark, she claims that her lamp was stolen. She had been separated from her father, and claims that something, a creature, is protecting the Red Stone of Aja, which she is attempting to retrieve. She asks if he is enjoy high school, hoping he's not getting bullied again. He explains that he has made friends and that they build airplanes. Suddenly, a sound interrupts their conversation. Jorge describes that something had been scraping the floor as it was moving, something large. He heard its breathing, sensing that it was a like a group of gorillas, fused together. He remembers that Tsukumojuku claimed that Lisa Lisa needed Jorge. He notices that the creature was trying to scare Lisa Lisa, but he had remained calm. He discovers that Lisa Lisa's emotions had brought the creature here. He tries to calm her down, and she kisses him on the lips while using her Ripple. With the Gorilla Spider now gone, Lisa Lisa apologizes for electrocuted Jorge with Hamon as they kissed. He joking asks for another one, then they continue to walk through the temple.
They find a torch on the floor, and discover a room filled with treasure. They find the Red Stone and put it around Lisa Lisa's neck, which she then hides in her clothes. They walk back into the entrance, and meet up with Straizo and his men. He explains that he was summoned, and they leave the temple. Jorge borrows a phone from the Hamon Warriors' secret base, and calls home. Penelope answers, and hands the phone to Erina. She asks Jorge to sit and listen, she asks if he had visited the Motorize manor that day. He explains that he had promised Darlington for a visit, but had not seen the older siblings.
Erina reveals that Kenton was dead, and her body was on Jorge's plane. Jorge believes that Kenton may have borrowed her plane, and crashed it. Erina states that it was not an accident, but a murder. She had been stabbed multiple times, with her wounds creating the Joestar mark. Erina then asks Jorge if he could explain everything to the police when he comes home.
