Illuso approached Enrico, grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him up to face him.

“At this point, you have almost no chance of winning.”

Illuso began, keeping a good grip on Enrico.

“..But to be fair, I think I’ll make a deal with you. Maybe if you cooperate well enough with me, I’ll let you live and can even make you an honorary member of our team.”

Enrico gulped, not knowing at all what sort of twisted ideas pooled inside this guys head.

“Formaggio told me that you and your friend got some real freaky Stand abilities. Said you threatened him with your own.. Big mistake on your part for letting him live, I’ll tell you that. Said you can steal things from people. More importantly, steal Stands.”

Enrico blinked a few times, and his eyes widened. Illuso couldn’t be thinking what he thought he was.. Right?

“You see where this is going, don’t you, Enrico? I want you to steal your friends Stand. He’s got a marvelous ability that’d make my own invincible, and if you steal his Stand and give it to me.. Hell, maybe I could overtake the Boss with it.”

Illuso threw Enrico to the ground, who stumbled back to his feet.

“Steal Valentine’s Stand for me. I’ll let you out of the mirror world to do so, but if you try anything you can kiss yours and your friends asses goodbye.”

And with that, Enrico was transported back to the real world, with Valentine and Whitesnake both panicking to each other. Valentine spotted Enrico and smiled,

“Pucci! Did you defeat the Stand user? What happened in there? Are you oka-“

-----------------------------

Whitesnake slashed its hand across the back of Valentine’s head, and a disc had formed in its hand. Valentine dropped down immediately, supposedly unconscious. Enrico took the disc from Whitesnake , and Illuso brought him back to the mirror world. Enrico didn't look phased by it at all, as if he didn’t regret his actions. Illuso, however, looked at joyous as ever once Enrico came back with the Stand.

“So you really did it, huh? You really betrayed your friend like that?”

Illuso smiled,

“I should show you to the Boss sometime. He’d make you a capo immediately.”

He chuckled, walking toward Enrico, who gave him a glare.

“What’s with that look, Enrico? What, are you regretting your actions now?”

Enrico shook his head,

“I regret nothing. But I wouldn’t say I betrayed my friend.”

Illuso raised an eyebrow, but quickly panicked watching Enrico shove the disc into his face. Illuso stepped back, eyes wide with fear as Valentine’s Stand formed next to him. Enrico looked almost out of it for a moment, as if he was in pain for using the Stand, before running towards Illuso, using D4C to slash at him, leaving a slight gash in Illuso’s chest. Illuso fell back, and tried to crawl away from Enrico.

“N-No! Get back!”

Illuso blabbered out, covering his chest in an attempt to stop the blood. Enrico looked down at him, D4C preparing for another attack.

“Send me back to the real world. Now.”

-----------------------------

Valentine let out a slight grumble, shifting around for a moment. He sat up, putting a hand on his head. What had happened? The last thing he remembered seeing was Enrico’s face, and then pitch black.

“Oh, so you’re awake finally. That’s good. I was afraid that you wouldn’t for a good bit.”

Valentine looked around before realizing he was back in Enrico’s home, laying on the couch. He quickly scanned the room before seeing Enrico walk into the living room with two cups, one filled with tea and the other filled with coffee.

“P-Pucci? What happened? Weren’t you being attacked by a Stand user? And..”

His eyes looked over Enrico for a moment, before seeing a bandage on his head. Valentine pointed at it.

“..What happened to your head?”

Enrico was silent for a moment, blowing on his tea and sipping some of it before speaking.

“The Stand user is gone now, I can promise you that.”

Enrico knew what really happened. He beat that Illuso to a pulp before leaving. He had gotten power hungry when he used Valentine’s Stand for that short time. Never again, Enrico thought to himself. He can never do something like that ever again, not after knowing how much it hurt inhabiting such a powerful Stand. Valentine’s ability had untapped power, and he couldn’t let him find that out.

“My head is just fine. I simply got a little hurt, now drink up. I made coffee for you.”

He slid the cup towards Valentine, who didn’t hesitate to pick it up and mimic Enrico’s actions by blowing on it before drinking it. There was silence between the two of them for a good bit.

“Valentine.”

He looked at Enrico, who was looking down into his cup of tea.

“I think I have an idea on who’s sending these people after us.”

Valentine seemed happy to hear this,

“Then who is it? Speak up!”

Enrico didn’t look the most enthusiastic about this information.

“..From what I heard, he just goes by ‘Boss’. And by the clues I was given, I can without a doubt say that we might just be dealing with a mafia organization.”

Valentine thought for a moment, and froze.

“A.. A m-mafia? What does a mafia want with us?”

Enrico looked up, and in front of him. Staring at nothing.

“It may have something to do with our Stand abilities.. More importantly, my Stand ability.”

Valentine gulped,

“What do they want with our Stands? I don’t understand this at all..”

Enrico put down his cup of tea and took out his phone,

“I don’t know what they want with our Stands either, but we need to find out who’s sending these Stand users, and fast.”

He looked down at his phone,

“And I think I might know where we need to go next.”
