"Where the hell am I? Hello?" No answer, a desolate arid land surrounds Dio: a rocky desert with rugged rocky outcrops that fades away as far as the eye can see under a reddish sky covered in storm clouds.
The vampire walks without any point of reference, in a landscape that repeats itself without solution of continuity, lashed at first by boiling Saharan-like winds that raise a large amount of dust and sand that obscure the view, Dio has to cover his eyes not to be blinded by the grains traveling at high speed, "How did I end up in a desert? And what's more, in the middle of a storm? "Questions that remain unanswered, the blond man continues to advance without an apparent goal and the more he walks, the more the winds, at first very hot, become cooler and cooler until they become icy and then polar again, the American desert landscape becomes a desolate glacial tundra, confused, he turns around and everything has become a huge white vastness: he can not go back (it is true that if he could do it to go where? ) but even stranger is the fact that he feels an unbearable cold, "it's not possible, I'm a vampire, an undead, I shouldn't feel cold, what's happening? WHAT'S HAPPENING?" A distant glow attracts his attention: a city stands out on the horizon, beyond a hill.
Heavy and intense rain falls from the sky, Dio arrives at that strange agglomeration of oddly shaped houses where a surreal silence reigns; apparently, a ghost town devastated by some cataclysmic event. "What an absurd place, my head feels like it's going to burst, I don't understand", The vampire realizes that perhaps this ghost town is not so much a ghost town, because in a fraction of a second he is surrounded by a multitude of human-looking beings wearing broken armor-like clothes with huge wounds and bloody burns: Men, women, and children staring at him without uttering a word, Dio is really surprised and notices that they all have a sort of brown hairy tail: some of them have it rolled up around their waist like a belt, others instead are drooping and very often amputated or covered with apparently infected wounds "well well, where did you little monsters come from? "silence, "silent, eh? Alright, now tell me where I am and maybe I'll leave some of you freaks alive, you know... I'm starting to get hungry". He throws himself at a group of these creatures and easily knocks them out. "Too bad, can't you even stand a little, you overgrown monkeys? "He hits others with his fists, which fall without a moan, "you're a disappointment, I'll drink your blood", he sticks his fingers in the neck of a woman, but nothing comes out, "what?". He tries another, and not a drop of blood comes out. "What are you? Zombies? "all those he hit to get up without anything happening and the blond lands them again but someone puts a hand on his shoulder making him turn around; a devastating punch hits him in the face and sends him through the buildings on the other side of the city "who dared? "I did! Dio looks up and sees a man floating in mid-air, a man with a scar on his cheek and a red bandana, who looks at him with a fierce and self-confident air, "there's someone who has the guts to challenge me, I'll kill you before you know it," "try it," he rushes at his opponent and grabs him by the throat, "have you lost your bravado? Now I could freeze your blood and make you break into a thousand pieces, in fact I'll do it right now" but something's wrong "My powers? No it's not possible, why doesn't it work? "The man smiles and punches him in the diaphragm, leaving the vampire strangely in oxygen debt, then he starts hammering him with punches and kicks over and over again, Dio tries to dodge his blows and answer with the optical rays that don't work, That mysterious fighter is slaughtering him, it seems that all his skills obtained with his vampirization have vanished into thin air "I'm completely defenceless, this man has an inhuman strength" but what's worse is that the more he looks at him the more Jonathan comes to his mind: the way he punches, the way he holds his guard, it really looks like him.
The exhausted Dio falls to his knees while his adversary looks at him almost with contempt "get up Dio Brando" "do you know my name?" "of course and to be honest I thought you were more resistant, without the vampiric powers you are weak", stung in his pride he gets up "how dare you to insult me, Dio?", With the back of his hand the man throws him to the ground again, "you have no chance of beating me, just as you have no chance of beating the Legendary Warrior " "Are you talking about Jonathan? "The man you call Jonathan is actually Broly, a Saiyan like me." "A Saiyan? What is a Saiyan? "the greatest fighters in the universe, we were a prosperous and populous people but betrayed and destroyed, now we are just shadows in the genetic memory of the few survivors, hoping that among them is the mythical warrior who awakens every thousand years who will avenge our race and with joy, the legend has manifested itself" Dio remembers the misadventure with his half brother "Jojo" "yes he is the warrior, the strongest in the galaxy and you...you're just like Frieza, a coward who exterminated us because he was afraid of our strength and you'll end up like him sooner or later" the crowd gathers again around the vampire showing the palm of his hand as the Saiyan warrior does murmuring a dull "death" " Dio. ...you will pay for your crimes as we and that traitor Frieza have paid for them" light globes light up by the dozens, the blond is trapped and terrified asks "what's your name?" " Bardock, a soldier who has always been fighting for his country, the only survivor of a chosen squad massacred by those we believed to be our allies...LOOK! (he takes off his bandana) this is what remains of my dearest friend, soaked in his blood, in his memory I swore revenge and promised myself that I would save my people from annihilation at any cost, Frieza had taken everything from me: He had slaughtered my comrades, ripped from my arms the woman of my life and my children that I had to send away without being able to say goodbye to them. Desperate and with a broken heart I confronted that bastard with a handful of patriots but... he was too strong and without even the slightest effort he blew up my world, ending my life with only one consolation: my offspring would have survived and would have done justice to their people (Bardock cries as he remembers the dramatic events of the genocide of the Saiyan people) even if I will never see them again, I am a father who is proud of his children, a father who will love them until the end of time...and as for you, I will see you again in hell. Vampire" a light dazzles him and then nothing. He opens his eyes and sits up after screaming: it was just a dream.
His zombie servants rush to the presence of Dio Brando "Your Excellency, what happened to you?" but he chases them away in a bad way so he can be alone; to think.
