Chapter 4: New allies Part 1

After his encounter with Stain, DIO and his new servant went back to his residence.

''Stain, I will rest for the remainder of the night, make sure no one disturbs me.'' said DIO thinking that maybe a hero could have seen his fight and followed them here.

''Yes, Lord DIO.'' said Stain as he brandished his defrosted katana, prepared to kill anyone that would dare disturb his master.

In his chamber, DIO was on his bed, reflecting on the things that happened this night.

'When I took the stone mask, I was pleasantly surprised by becoming immune to sunlight, but I was also worried because my primary goal for wanting the stone mask was to restore my vampiric abilities to their full power. However, in my battle with Stain, I saw that it accomplished its intended purpose as well. And speaking about Stain, my new servant will be useful to me in my plans.' thought DIO before closing his eyes.

The next day, DIO woke up to see rays of sunlight enter his bedroom. He slowly got out of his bed to go to the window.

There he beheld something he thought he would never see again. The sunrise was a superb spectacle, the cold blue sky mixing with the warm yellows and oranges of the sun. DIO stood there admiring it while the sun's rays warmed his body. Then, he opened the window, letting the cool breeze of the morning wash over his features, making his long golden locks flow through the air.

Before becoming a vampire, he never cared about such things, but after a century, he couldn't deny that he felt a bit of happiness, that he could feel these things again.

After a few minutes, DIO was satisfied with what he saw, for now, so he left his chamber and went to the living room, where Stain was in the same position he was last night.

''Stain,'' DIO said to grab his attention.

Stain turned around and bowed before his master.

''Did something happen last night?'' asked DIO.

''No, Lord DIO.''

''Good. Now, Stain, come with me. We need to meet another servant of mine to discuss a few things.'' said DIO as he exited the house.

An hour later, DIO and Stain arrived at Hachiro's house. It was a traditional Japanese house, two-story-high.

They entered and went to the kitchen, where they saw Hachiro eating breakfast.

He was a man around his mid-20s, tall and skinny with dark, unkempt hair and brown eyes.

When Hachiro noticed them, his eyes widened, and he bowed.

''Hachiro, have you found any information about the arrow's existence?'' asked DIO.

''No, Lord DIO, there is no information about the arrow.''

'Tch. Maybe the arrow doesn't exist in this world, but I can't stop looking until I know for certain.'

''Lord DIO, may ask, who is the man standing beside you?'' asked Hachiro

''This is Stain, my new servant.''

'S-stain?! The Hero Killer?!' screamed Hachiro inside his head.

After a few seconds, his shock disappeared, being replaced by awe and admiration towards his master.

'Lord DIO is amazing. He can make even one of the most dangerous villains in Japan submit to him.'

''Hachiro, come with me,'' said DIO as he and Stain went towards the living room.

DIO sat down on the couch as his servants knelled before him awaiting his commands.

''My original plan was to gather people to my organization, and though that hasn't changed, the method did. At first, I thought of robbing banks to get enough money to hire villains, but that idea was fundamentally flawed. It would take an enormous amount of money and time to do that. Not to mention that since I am a new figure in the underworld, not many famous villains would work for me even if I paid them a lot, but after my encounter with you, Stain, a new plan came to my mind. You and Hachiro will spread the word that you are looking for help in your crusade that would draw the attention of many people. Understood?''

''Yes, Lord DIO.'' said the both of them before discussing the details in more depth.

Two weeks later

At the edge of the city, many people could be seen gathering in front of a warehouse.

Inside, Stain and Hachiro were standing behind a desk interviewing people.

''Next.'' said Hachiro as a tall blue-haired man sat before them.

''Listen, I have a specific ability that could prove extremely useful to you. I can control shadows.'' said the man, sounding very confident.

Stain and Hachiro looked at each other then back at the man.

'' Could you show us a demonstration?''

The man closed his eyes, and his shadow changed shape to that of a clown.

'' Impressed yet?'' said the as his shadow morphed back to normal.

''That's it? You can change the shape of shadows.''

''Yeah, but I can only do it to my shadow.''

''How is that useful?''

'' I can make myself look more intimidating. Think about it, some hero fights me, and suddenly my shadow changes to that of a clown, and he becomes so scared that he faints.''

'' Wait, why a clown?''

''Oh, that's the only thing I can morph it in.''

''Next.''

''W-wait what?!'' screamed the man in disbelief.

''Oh, I see what's happening; you're jealous of my power. Yes, that's it, well, if you are so petty, then I don't want to work with you anymore. I quit.'' said the man as he left the warehouse.

The following person to enter was a somewhat tall, pale young man with a slim, slightly lean build. His hair was black, and his eyes were turquoise in color, but his most prominent features were the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covered his lower face and neck, all the way down to his collarbone, below his eyes, and on his arms. They appeared to be attached to the rest of his skin by multiple surgical staples.

''Uh, what's your name?'' asked Hachiro.

''I currently go by Dabi.''

''Okay, tell us what your quirk does.''

''My quirk is called Cremation, and it allows me to generate blue flames from my body.''

''Can you show us a demonstration of it?''

''Yeah, sure,'' said Dabi as he unleashed a wave of flames from his hand.

'Hm, he's got a powerful quirk, but we will see if he can use it effectively.' thought Stain.

'' You're hired. You can wait in the other room until we finish with the other candidates.'' said Hachiro.

''Okay.'' said Dabi.

''Next.''

The following person was... a lizard Stain look-a-like. The Stain copycat looked like he was about to pass out when he saw Stain.

'Oh great, a fanboy.' thought Stain with a groan.

The man approached Stain with excitement and anxiety clear on his face.

''H-hey, m-Mr. S-stain c-could I p-please g-get your a-autograph?!'' asked/screamed the man while bowing repeatedly.

''Fine. Where do you want it?'' asked Stain with a sigh.

''O-on m-my s-scarf, p-please.''

''Do you have a pen?''

''Y-yes, j-just a m-moment.'' said the man as he started looking through his pockets.

After a few seconds, the man started to panic while searching more frantically into his pockets.

Suddenly his eyes went wide with horror; he fell to his knees and started hitting the floor with his fists.

''NOOOOOOO!'' screamed the man.

''Uh, can we get back to the interview?'' asked Hachiro

''O-oh,y-yes, s-sorry.'' said the man, his face showing how embarrassed he was.

''U-uh, m-my n-name's Shuichi Iguchi, b-but y-you c-can call me, Spinner. M-my quirk is Gecko; I think you can guess what it does.'' said Spinner as he laughed awkwardly.

''Next.''

''Oh man, and I even spend all my money on the costume.'' Spinner said as he exited the warehouse.

''Okay, that was-'' Hachiro started.

''Weird.'' finished Stain.

''Yeah.''

The following person was a petite teenage girl. She had ash-blonde hair, which was tied into two messy buns. Her eyes were yellow with thin black pupils that resembled that of a cat. She wore a school uniform, with a short skirt and knee-high socks.

When she saw Stain, she started blushing while approaching them.

'Oh god, another fan.' groaned Stain.

''Hi, my name's Himiko Toga, and I am a big fan of yours, so can I please get your blood!'' she said as she tried to attack Stain with a knife, but he dodged and immobilized her.

''Oh, please just let me get a bit of your blood. You'd look so pretty bleeding.'' said Toga as she struggled to get out of his grip.

'She's stronger than she looks.' thought Stain, struggling a bit to keep her still.

''What should we do with her?'' asked Stain.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the warehouse changed. The air grew heavy, and it was hard to breathe.

'This presence' thought both Stain and Hachiro recognizing it.

They turned around, Stain letting go of Toga in the process, and fell to their knees.

Toga raised to her feet and quickly turned around, wanting to continue attacking Stain, but what she saw made her stop in her tracks. Her face suddenly became as red as a tomato, and her heart skipped a beat.

'H-he's so handsome!'' thought Toga as she looked at the most beautiful man she had ever seen in her life.

'But he would look even better with blood on him.' thought Toga as she ran towards him, trying to stab him, but her knife broke into pieces when it touched his skin.

''Hoho, you are very bold trying to attack the great DIO.'' said DIO, his voice full of charisma and sounding like music to Toga's ears.

'DIO, so that's his name. I love it.'

''Hey, can I please get some of your blood.'' said Toga as she gave DIO the puppy eyes.

''How dare you?! You attack Lord DIO; then you dare ask him for his blood?!'' screamed Stain, enraged as he went to kill her, only to stop when he saw DIO raise his hand.

''There's no need for that, Stain. I don't mind her.'' said DIO as he cut his wrist, blood flowing from it as Toga started licking it in a very lustful way.

''Ish tastes shoo good.'' said Toga, her mouth full of DIO's blood.

Suddenly, Toga started morphing until she transformed into a perfect copy of DIO.

''Ho, so that is your quirk? It's truly an impressive one.''

Toga stopped licking when she heard that.

''You think so? You don't think it's disgusting?'' said Toga as she started blushing and playing with her hair, which was pretty weird since she still looked like DIO.

''Why would I think that? Your power is as beautiful as you.'' said DIO as Toga's face became tomato red and steam came out of her ears.

'H-he thinks I'm beautiful?!' screamed Toga inside her head.

''Your name was Toga; if I'm not mistaken?'' asked DIO as he looked into her eyes.

''Y-yes, but you can call me Himiko.''

''Himiko, would you like to join me?'' said DIO as he smiled at her showing his fangs.

'He is the first person who said these things to me. He even said that my quirk was beautiful. He accepted me for who I was and wasn't disgusted by my love for blood. No one has so much kindness; It's like he's an angel.' thought Toga as she looked at DIO with eyes full of love and adoration as she started crying.

''Yes, thank you so much-'' Toga was about to say DIO's name when she stopped herself, realizing that he needed to address this person who showed her kindness like no other has before with the proper respect.

''-Lord DIO'' said Toga as she bowed before her master while transforming back to her original form, only now she was naked.

Suddenly, the warehouse's door was destroyed, creating a cloud of dust. From it emerged a large, bulky man with short spiky blond hair and small black eyes. He wore a red tank top, a dark jacket around his waist, dark green pants, and black boots. Around his arms, muscle fiber was entering back into his skin.

As the cloud of dust disappeared, they could see the numerous mangled corpses outside the warehouse.

''Hero Killer, FIGHT ME!'' screamed the man as he charged towards them.

Author note: This was chapter 4, now tell me did you like it, did you hate it. Leave a review telling me what you thought about it. By the way, tell me would you like for Toga's affection on DIO to be one-sided or would you like for a relationship between them to exist.
