Five years after Ben Auro saved the universe from Chaos Zannacross Necron he is still helping try to guide the people to a better place alongside his lover Lacus Raystar. However they must reunite with their friends Mario,Cloud Strife, and others as everything they work for is threatened to unravel at the hands of the reality-destroying Incursion at the hands of the Beyonder!

15. Chap215: The One Who Bares Fangs at God!

Chapter 215: The Ones who's eyes are Over Heaven that Bare its Fangs at God!

As the contestants of Battle-World gave everything they had to come out alive, most were unaware that the one who forced them into the chaotic planet wide battle royal was watching them intently.

With his vast power the Beyonder was able to observe every battle going on in the planets he created at the same time, and yet the first son of Cosmos and Zannacross was enjoying Doug's showdown the most from on his throne in Wahrwelt. Kirei and a few other servants were allowed to watch him, along with Zamasu.

The only current champion of Battle-World observed Doug and Dio exchange a punch before the man with Goku's face snickered." Such an uncouth ape really is within the verge of being one of your great champions my lord? He is hardly more than a savage, overflowing with the filthy sin of man that has spoiled all the gifts that the divine was merciful enough to give his kind!"

"And yet he is strong enough to overwhelm all other contenders and put the previously assumed champion, Dio Brando's victory in to doubt Zamasu." Kirei coldly uttered." Besides…this is not a contest of who is the most appeasing in manners, but who is the most powerful, of who has the strongest will in human history.

This Doug Fitter may be a wild savage of a man consumed by his unstable chaotic impulses, but even someone like you cannot deny that it's because he is so overflowing with the inferno of passion that he makes the ideal embodiment of our lord's desire? After all, is this entire contest all about who is worthy enough for our lord to give the grail to those who can serve him?"

Before Zamasu could answer the Beyonder suddenly chuckled before his glowing eyes narrowed."Indeed, it is priest, everything that resides in my realm exists to please me.

Right now, Doug Fitter's outburst and the drama it provides gives me much entertainment. I'll overlook his rudeness if it means he can provide me what I want, the absolute destruction of Cosmos and all she created, especially her champion!"

The Beyonder waved his hand before the image quickly shifted to Ben, who was fighting Superboy Prime. The Beyonder saw Ben hurt Prime and got angry enough for the entire area to tremble with his energy." This Ben Auro, the so called "Ultimate Hero" may have power and skill, but his ideas are just a joke, a delusion he and Cosmos alike cling to in order to justify their worth."

The being with gold glowing eyes waved his hand as images of the other Battle-World planets briefly appeared. One showed many TIE Fighters and Mobile suits unleashing various projectiles over different colored Star Destroyer warships, with a larger battle station charging up its primary weapon in the distance.

Another image showed two glowing giants that nearly seemed composed of energy, both different shades of blue, slashing at each other with energy swords as meteors rained down over a floating red castle, while in the center of the castle a young man with black hair was having swords rain down on a man with red hair in a fedora who had fire surround him.

Another image showed giant monsters as large as battleships, including a dragon, a horse and a wolf attacking a giant hideous red demon with many mouths and tentacles.

The sight of the death and destruction raging on in each battle zone just made the Beyonder laugh madly.

"Yes, seeing a close up look at the history of mortals just makes it all the clearer that what mortals desire most is not peace, but violence, conquest, dominance! The fact that the peace and love that they and all the "angels" have been preaching has failed to amount to anything in the entire history of her universe is even more proof that they are hopeless deluded failures that should be erased by a superior being beyond their weakness, such as myself!"

Zamasu saw how zealous the Beyonder look and thought carefully before he nodded." What a lamentable view. But I can see it...the future of existence, shining bright after release from the vermin knows as humans! That being said...I don't dare be foolish enough to question your divine judgment.

But I concede I'm, confused on the way you intend to implement it. If your ultimate desire is to replace humanity, why would you want someone that's so flawed to enforce your will and not members of your new race such as Mira?"

The Beyonder waved his hand again, before the images of Ben and Doug appeared side by side. Seeing Ben again caused raw hate boil up in the divine being." What disgusts me can still be of use to me Zamasu. If it was merely about who had superior power I would have killed all the intruder's moments after I became aware of their existence. But as I said earlier, I want them, especially their champion Ben Auro, to suffer as much as they can before their death!

Since the moment I regained consciousness and became aware of how much had changed since Cosmos and Zannacross denied me what should have been mine, the fact that the so-called savior of the universe is this Ben Auro, this frail looking male that's fueled by flimsy dreams and hypocritical logic, one that many would call a "loser" drives me with a sense of the term, outrage. Yes…the mere sight of such a unworthy being the champion of Cosmos is all the proof I need to prove that everything she has created is faulty.

Yes, the hunger for revenge, the rage I felt since the moment I awoke, Ben Auro is the embodiment of that. That's why, another thing I learned from watching my pieces hurt each other, is that pain is intensified when its combined with bitterness, with treachery. Out of all those that invaded my domain, it is this Doug Fitter who currently has the most darkness in his heart, who's desire, however currently mangled, with my own.

As the battles have unfolded it's become clear that this man who Ben Auro presumes is one of his dearest comrades, can be the one who shatters everything he fought so hard for.

Yes, if it were to be a mere replica or me forcefully overwriting his soul the impact would lessen. Even if we enlighten him to the possibilities he was not aware of, and give him the means to make those desires come true, him renouncing all that Ben Auro strives for, and destroying his "Joke" by his own choice would make for the most devastating caliber of pain, and provide me the maximum amount of entertainment. After all…for daring to deny me, the most superior being of all, what is rightfully mine, it's only fitting that the price is as severe as possible yes?"

Zamasu saw just how fanatical the Beyonder looked and just smirked."But of course, the price for defying god must be as severe as it can get. I understand your judgment your eminence, and look forward to seeing it unfold. I am curious, from the cosmic memory I saw on this Ben Auro, I don't doubt he won't try as hard as he can to defy your desire.

I saw how he managed to defy fate and saved the woman he loved, the sinner Lacus Raystar from death at the hands of the man who vowed to own her, the male that was the embodiment of human sin that's name was supposed to be."

The Beyonder suddenly grit his teeth before he snapped out,"Cosmos's pet only obtained what he did not deserve because of divine intervention, because Cosmos felt the need to pity her pet!" The Beyonder seethed out." Some mortals would describe it he" Cheated" the natural order to obtain what someone of his stature does not deserve! He is no longer in Cosmos's realm, he's in mine!

Lacus Raystar…in the end was created to be Cosmos's vessel, it's only natural Cosmos cheated, but Doug Fitter is more en-tuned to my will, to how things truly are. When he embraces his true nature, everyone will see what truly is the most powerful force in existence, not love, not justice, but hate! Yes... the hate for any who denies them their desire! Fight my pawns, amuse me as you keep fighting till your last breath, so we will see who hates everyone else enough to come out on top and be worthy enough to enforce my will!"

The Beyonder gave another haughty chuckle before he focused on the fights. While Doug and Dio's clash may have been the one that was attracting the most interest to the one hosting Battle-World, there was still intense fighting raging on all over Dio's flying castle.

---

While Yuri and the others were able to hold their own after they kept Volga and the others at bay to let Doug's group make progress, as the battle dragged on more of Dio's forces started to swarm them, slowly tiring the group.

But before it could get to bleak Yuri and the others got a lucky break as they got reinforcements of their own in the form of the rest of the Joestar family and their allies.

At first Volga tried to dismiss this turn of events as meaningless, but the reinforcements lead by Jotaro's daughter, the equally aggressive Jolyne Cujoh, caused the draconic man to grit his teeth.

As he saw some of his moblin soldiers get blown away by Rita's magic he tried to ascend to the air to bombard everyone, but before he could raise his spear, he felt something collide in to his back, and felt a surge of gravity start to weigh down on his entire body.

He then saw something fly by and looked up to see that the new force seemed to be coming from a white metallic being with yellow eyes and green orbs coming out of parts of his body.

As Volga prepared to thrust his spear at the new arrival he felt the gravitational pressure increase and saw a male that looked like a teenager with spikey blond hair in a blue Japanese school uniform.

As Volga gave the new arrival a deathly glare the kid just looked determined." This hothead's in the way, shut him down Reverb Act three! 3 Freeze!"

Volga prepared to unleash a storm of fire at the kid, till the being that was his Stand punched him again in the face, causing Volga to feel so much gravitational pressure that he was smashed to the ground so hard that when he hit the floor it caved in. Yuri saw his opponent yell in fury before he just snickered." Nice work kid! Guess you can't just shrug us off eh punk? Too bad, you're through!"

The volatile dragoon glared at the man who ruined his attack plan before he spat out,"Damned brat, you will pay for making a fool out of me!"

Volga used all of his strength to resist the gravitational pull that the Reverb Stand was directing at him, and pointed his spear at the kid before a tall young man of above-average height and medium to athletic build next to him ran in front of him.

This man had two fine lines cross his face in semicircles passing the inner corners of his eyes got in front of the smaller man. The taller male had small, dark pompadour, the hair at his sides light and combed back closely.

He wore a dark, modified Japanese school uniform, featuring a double-breasted jacket, which he decorates with metallic, golden emblems, including a yen (¥) sign on the right of his collar and a dollar ($) sign on his left (more accurately, a cifrão; with two vertical lines). He also had a larger dollar sign on the middle of his chest. On his right shoulder, he has printed "億" ("Oku", the kanji for 100,000,000); variously replaced with the word "TRILLION" in large, light letters between his shoulder and elbow; mirroring the word "BILLION" on his left and had two slim, sagging belts at the top of wide-legged pants.

This man saw Volga look manic and just chuckled."I'll take it from here Koichi, I'm tired of hearing this jackass talk!"

Koiochi winced before responding with a shocked,"Hold on Okuyasu! This bad guy seems like a real pro! You will never get a hit on him!"

Okuyasu winced from the remark, and as he did Judith suddenly dashed forward with a driven look." Maybe for him, but not to me! You may dress the look but time you see who the true pro dragoon is!"

"Stubborn woman, I'll rip you apart the moment you try and best me! You will never break my guard!"

Okuyasu saw Volga prepare to get into a stance before he grinned." That so wiseass? Pull the rug under him, The Hand!"

The ally of the Joestar's had an aura form around him before it transformed into a being that of a humanoid figure typically in attire similar to football pads, though it has several spikes jutting from them.

A towel-like object draped over its shoulders, with a $ symbol on one end and a ¥ symbol on the other – corresponding with Okuyasu's own fashion theme of currency symbols. On each side of the Stand's face are blinders that cover its headlight-shaped eyes. Its right hand has spider web-like lines on the inside, along with two bumps on its palm.

As soon as it was summoned The Hand preformed a swiping motion with its right arm. For a moment, it seemed to do nothing, and Volga just snickered in amusement, till the power of the Stand, the power to erase the space in front of it with a swipe became apparent, as because of Okuyasua's power, Voga suddenly warped right in front of Judith's face.

As Dio's general widened in shock Judith just smirked and swiftly thrust her spear through Volga's neck. With his very throat punctured the fire using villain could not even curse his attacker, and merely thought about how disgraceful a defeat this was before he died. Judith made sure Volga was not getting up before she giggled." That will teach you to diss a Krytia warrior's skills eh? Those were some sweet moves boys, nicely done."

Despite how hostile an environment they were in Okuyasu could not help taking in how attractive the blue haired Enji looked before he chuckled." Ah that's nothing babe. I can show you how sweet my, huh? WHOA!"

The tall man's shock came from Bellum suddenly coming down on them after vanishing for a while. Before the giant yellow monster could tackle them suddenly a dozen blue and white strings burst out to entangle the monster.

As Okyuasua looked shocked he saw the strings came from a being that looked like another Stand, one that wore what appeared to be a pair of sunglasses varying in darkness, obscuring vertically ridged eyes. Four blade-like protrusions run over its head from the top of the jaw to the back of its neck, bordering the sides of both eyes. Cones truncated at a length of one-third the width of its head protrude from the region of the ears.

It wore elliptical shoulder pads with a vaguely snakeskin pattern, and hexagonal knee pads. Several patches of its lightly-shaded body reveal a fibrous interior, wound horizontally. Its forehead, neck, arms, and the area from its midriff to the top of its feet bear small, evenly spaced studs/bumps.

As Okuyasu looked at the being with his jaw dropped an irate female voice broke the silence with a sharp,"You want to die dumbass? Stop being distracted in the middle of a battle! Hurry up and kill this eyesore before it slips away from Stone Free!"

The man saw the voice came from Jotaro's spunky daughter, a bold-eyed woman who wore her hair in two "layers": A dark base including two large buns atop her head and a short length going down her neck; above which, lightly dyed or bleached, she kept a plait or braid that winds around both buns, joining in a short length at back, and bangs that frame her face.

As the woman glared at her Okuyasu winced."Sorry about that Jolyne, just happy we seem to be winning the battle you know?"

Yuri heard that and winced before he ran over."Don't relax kid, the battle's just getting started! The real tough bastards are in that castle, including this Dio guy. Got to keep a close watch to make sure we don't lose anyone!"

Before anyone could response an angry female voice cut in with," You mean not losing any more teammates right jackass? Ugh, now Jude! Soulstoke Celebration"

Yuri and his group got shocked as Leia suddenly appeared from above and had her energy staff explode with energy before she smashed Bellum hard enough to send the monster flying. Jude suddenly appeared in the direction that Leia smashed her target before unleashing his own powerful Fatal Fury punch to smash the yellow monster all the way off the castle, to where one of the Divine Beasts fired at him, swiftly vaporizing him.

Estelle saw Leia land near her and smiled."Leia, Jude, your all right! We were so worried when you guys vanished!"

The two Enji from the island town of Leronde just frowned before Leia stomped over to her comrades." Lost? Are you kidding me? You guys ditched us back in the dessert! Granted its partly Jude's fault he took too long looking at stuff but you guys seriously left us there! If that Speedwagon guy did not find us when looking at the outcome of that battle then we could have been really screwed! What the hell? This Doug's ruder then Alvin!"

As Estelle gasped Yuri just face palmed." Er…sorry about that. To be honest, I hardly had time to remember you guys, it's been a crazy day and all. Besides…Doug was in a big hurry."

Jude winced before he looked at the top of the castle." I noticed Mister Fitter did not seem, too pleased that I was part of the unit, but I did not think I left that bad a impression."

Judith sighed as all the times she saw Doug's temper during the mission flashed across her face."Don't take it to hard hun, Doug's been, having a few things on his mind."

Jude paused before he nodded." Well, with everything that's on the line I can indeed understand how he can be stressed. As long as we are still alive and it's still not too late to save the universe, then I guess we do have bigger things to worry about."

"Don't let that jerk off that easily Jude!" Leia snapped out." After we save the universe and win this stupid contest I'm going to slap him hard enough to turn his head around! Anyway…where are the others?"

Jude nodded before adding," I take it you guys provided them cover so they could get to the main target?"

Yuri was about to answer when everyone saw a flash of red light burst out from the top of the castle. The sight just caused the leader of Brave Vesperia to chuckle darkly." That answer your question kid? We better hurry so we don't miss out! No matter how strong this Dio guy is I'm not going to just be a spectator!"

Jolyne grasped her fist tightly before she smirked,"Then get moving! For how much of a snake Dio is, he's not going to slip away from my family this time!"

Jude nodded before adding,"Very well then, lead the way."

"You first Flynn you're the one with the shield and all. Knights honor, right?"

Yuri muttered as he grinned at his best friend. Flynn just raised an eyebrow before looking at Jude." Um…that was not me Yuri that was Jude."

The long hair Enji swiftly looked at Jude before he rolled his eyes."Oh…you guys sure as hell sound alike. Small universe and all, whatever."

Yuri, Jolyne, and most of the others dashed into the castle as Jude and Flynn looked at each other before they shrugged and followed their friends. As Jolyne hurried to join her father and grandfather in their decisive duel, little did she and the others realize just how deadly a showdown it was.

---

After Dio made his Stand The World visible and Doug made his defiant speech the others just looked carefully at Dio to see his next move. As the vampire just looked delighted at everyone's tension Jotaro narrowed his eyes."Don't let Dio get in your head guys, it's what he wants! The World may be able to freeze time, but it has to have limits!

Otherwise he could have killed everyone in Battle World in an instance! You may think you're a god in your head Dio but I'll expose you once and for all as the fraud you are."

"Is that so Jotaro?" Dio uttered as he casually walked foreword." Your pitiful friend assumed things to, and that was the last mistake he ever made. Maybe I just wanted to savior the taste of my victory? I assure you, The World is not the only thing I'm relying on to win this Battle World Joestar scum!"

Jotaro cracked his knuckle before he hissed out," Your full of it Dio…time to expose you as the fraud you are."

Dio saw Jotaro slowly walking up to him and chuckled."Oh…your approaching me so brazenly?"

"I can't smash that face of yours without getting closer."

"Oh ho! Then come as close as you like and see just who the true fraud is!"

The two men walked up to each other, trying to glare at each other to see who would blink first. After a few seconds of complete silence Jotaro suddenly had Star Platinum form to try and punch Dio in the face.

The moment he did, The World suddenly appeared in front of Dio and kicked Star Platinum right in the other Stand's knee joint to knock him back. Because of the link between a Stand User and a Stand Jotaro suddenly saw his own leg become bruised.

Dio just laughed at the man in the hat's shock before he made a beckoning gesture." To slow…far to slow Joestar! The World is the ultimate Stand, all other Stands came from it, from the ritual that allowed me to evolve my power! Even without being able to stop time, his speed and strength is far too great for your meager Star Platinum to break it!"

"Tsc…so it really is the same kind of Stand as Star Platinum? I see…not much range…but immense power and movement."

"Be lucky you got your own power as a side effect of my current body being Jonathan Joestar's boy. Still, I did want to give the World a proper test, thank you for having some use to me!"

"Test? Is that what you call just patting me with a blow to light to hurt? Don't mistake ripping my twenty-two thousand yen pants with hurting me."

"Tsc…why are you Joestars so stubborn about admitting defeat? Heh…I suppose I'll rise to your silly provocation. If you thought that was just a tap then shawl we test who has the superior battle rush then?"

"I'll do more than tap you, Dio!"

"Heh, you can try, but one way or another you will find that its useless!"

"Ora ora ora!"

"Mada Mada mada!"

As the two both unleashed wild battle cries Star Platinum and the World commenced punching each other so rapidly that they were both nothing but blurs, and even Doug and Axel had to focus as they dashed all around the throne room with such an intense barrage that the blows were creating a gust of wind.

While Jotaro held his own Dio saw his opponent's speed falter for a second before he suddenly had The World's right fist move away from Star Platinum's fist and go past his head. As Jotaro's stand was distraction Dio had his own Stand smash in to its target's head with his left fist.

Dio saw that Polnareff had prepared to try and stab him from behind and punched Jotaro into his ally. As they all fell to the ground hard Dio laughed yet again." Still doubt that The World's power and precision is superior? I tested my skills enough, time to die Jotaro!"

The blond-haired vampire clutched his fist as he prepared to smash Jotaro's head off. Before he could a purple vine grasped his limb, causing Dio to swerve his head and see Joseph glaring at him.

The older Joestar 's arms crackled with energy before he spat out a defiant,"I won't let you take another Joestar life! For grannie Erina's sake I'll put an end to you disgracing my grandfather's body!"

"Erina…that was that blond whore who survived my fury after mating with Jonathan yes?" Dio casually uttered as he grasped the purple vines grasping his body." You must be senile old man, if you think you and your pitiful Stand can do anything to me! You may have been lucky enough to defeat Kars…but despite what that pillar man said I'm the true ultimate life form!"

Dio suddenly had purple energy beams blast out of his eyes, and while Jonathan dashed out of the way, as he did Dio had the World smash him in the chest hard enough to produce a cracking sound.

As Joseph got launched through a pillar Dio charged at him to finish the assault while screaming out,"You Joestar's have been allowed to have your alternate facts be passed off as reality for long enough! Know your place once and for all! Farewell…those who dared defy my destiny! WRYY!"

The blond villain prepared to rip the Joestar's apart, when suddenly a hand caught his fist in its place. Dio glanced up to see Doug was glaring at him. Doug grinned as he saw his target fail to break out of his grip." Forget I'm still hear jackass? The only thing your evolved in Dio, is being a jackass! You're not as much of a top dog as you think punk, and barking like you are just is begging for you to get one hell of a humbling!"

Dio had the World punch Doug, only for the blond male to easily block his punches, causing him to chuckle darkly." I can see your strength is nothing to dismiss. It's such a shame its being misused, as its rightful place is at my side! Your physical power may be superior…for the moment…but that is not enough to trump me Dio!"

Dio saw Doug prepare to raise his fist, and instantly had The World freeze time. After seeing Doug and everyone else around him frozen Dio had his Stand cut off his own arm, and then use his vampire abilities to regenerate a new one.

As he saw Doug's iron grip he merely smirked."Doug Fitter…you have the chance to unravel my entire ascension, or be an asset to ensure my victory! You may be misguided now, but you will see clearly, when I make you a vampire, my servant! Be, GUH!"

Dio tried to bite Doug at his neck to attempt to turn him in to a vampire, but as he did his teeth chipped the moment they made contact with Doug's neck, providing enough pain to have The World's effect end. The moment time resumed Doug noticed Dio behind him and elbowed him in the nose hard enough to smash Dio through a wall.

The Enji noticed Dio's chipped tooth on the ground before he chuckled." Tried to cheat and make a meal out of me eh? Too bad I'm so well cooked I'm a god damn Jawbreaker dude! I heard you were a vampire, and the moment I saw you played this dirty I made sure my guard was up.

Not sure how much Hamon and Kai have in common but, just so you know, when my guard's up that means my skin's fortified with so much energy that you'd have better luck taking a bite out of a diamond! I'm no one's meal you prick, even if you stop time you can't pierce my skin even when I'm not moving!"

Axel saw Dio blast out of the rubble before he chuckled." Slick one Fitter! If you think you're going to snack on me Dio you're going to get burned baby! Just try munching on a star, Hades Aegis!"

The former Dark Enji quickly unleashed his full power, and as his entire body became covered with an armor of pure magma, Dio saw this and snickered." I can see you two are truly elite fighters, if not for being my opponents you could very well have been the champions of this world! It's not too late though…join me and we can emerge as victors together!"

"I'm not really fond of punks who think they can diss me to my face!" Doug spat out before his expression hardened." Think I'm stupid enough to trust a mass murdering vampire who treats the "little man" like cattle? Time and again all you so called elites think your better than me, and it's one of the best kicks breaking your entire damn world!"

Dio chuckled before he put his hands up in the air."I understand you don't have much reason to trust me, but I assure you we are not as different as you might think. I did not start out as a stylish vampire you know. While I was always greater then my peers because of my origins society did not see it. Yes…my father Dario Brando, was nothing but gutter trash, a drunk thief. It was because of his boorish incompetence that my mother died, and that the Brando name was seen as one of vermin.

After enduring through one seemed like endless suffering, I was at last able to reverse my destiny, by poisoning my father!

From their I made use of my father's one moment of luck and made contact with George Joestar. From their…I used my wits to secure my ascension! It was not a ride without setbacks, but what matters are the results yes?"

Jonathan coughed up some blood before spitting back a bitter,"Is that how you see what you did to my family in your head Dio? From the start you saw my family as things to destroy! The moment you met Jonathan you had his dog burned alive, kissed my grandmother out of spite, and poisoned George Joestar to try and take control of his wealth!"

"And I would have gotten away with it to if Wang Chan was not so incompetent with his poison! Tsc…George Joestar acted noble but he was just taking me in to look better to his peers! The strong use what's around them to survive, while the weak drown in sentimentality. The Joestar's were not using the power they had properly, thus because of the rules of nature it was only right I take their power from them to put it to better use!

The Bedman gave me your memories Fitter…I know you know the life I come from! Thus…you should know that things like friendship and harmony are only lies, the only truth is power, and those that delude themselves otherwise are the prey! So tell me Fitter, why ally yourself with the weak that exploit you, who will only discard you when they no longer need your help?"

Doug looked down before muttering," If any of that's legit I admit I know what it's like to go through life being dealt a sucky hand. It's true that I don't take much stock in all the big ideas my teammates won't shut up about, it's always been the simple things, the real things I cared about. But one of those things that matter to me is pride, and it's a matter of a man's pride to take his debts seriously.

Theses Joestar's done me right, and I see no reason, no need to shame my pride dissing them. Besides…on top of that I have no reason to fear you, and every reason to punch your smug face in till it shatters! Hell…the reason your putting so much effort in to conning me to be your pawn is because you know you can't beat me!

Too bad Dio, you and I may have had more in common then I first thought, but I don't care about concurring the world or crap like that. Like hell I want that kind of drama, I just want to be free to do what I want, and take out any freak like you that gets in the way of that freedom!"

Dio narrowed his eyes before he had his aura burst out enough to make Doug flinch, and nearly blow away the Joestar family."Don't mistake my mercy for weakness fool! I took interest in you because of the things are history had in common, but no one is above Dio Brando! Defy me and you will…"

Dio saw Doug was preparing to move and suddenly had his Stand freeze time. The vampire realized in the seconds it took The World's power to take effect Doug was already mere feet from his face before he grinned."Yes…even if your strength exceeds mine at the moment Fitter, that won't last forever! Yes, I'll close the gap by sucking up every last drop of energy from the Joestar's!"

The blond villain flew up in the air, and for a moment he thought he saw Jotaro 's arm twitch in frozen time, before he dashed to attempt to drink the man's blood. As he did, to his shock Star Platinum suddenly punched him in the gut, with enough force to blow a hole in his chest. As Dio coughed up blood and time unfroze he snarled with outrage." What the…you…you can really move in frozen time? Impossible!"

Jotaro just cracked his neck before retorting with a cold."Is it really? If your Stand can do it, then I should be able to pull it off if I tried hard enough."

"No…Star Platinum can't really leach off of The World's power just because part of my body belongs to Jonathan! Even Giorno could not do that with his Gold Experience Stand! "

"Guess you're just far unluckier then you thought eh Dio? No matter what your powers are your times up."

"Don't think you can mock me boy!"

Dio quickly had The World freeze time once again, and after making sure everyone was frozen he flew into the air. As he saw Jotaro frozen in time he licked his lips, and took out a batch of knives." You may be able to invade my realm of stopped time because of some sort of fluke Jotaro, but I can see its only for a moment! I'll simply overwhelm you!"

The vampire proceeded to throw a barrage of knives at Jotaro, and threw more around him. Star Platinum punched some of the knives away for a second, before he to froze. The tormentor of the Joestar family gleefully had time unfroze, and while Jotaro was able to bat away some of the knives only for a few to dive into his chest and forehead.

As Jotaro yelled and fell to the ground Dio laughed, and quickly froze time yet again before anyone could attack. As he saw Jotaro frozen on the ground he laughed madly as he dashed forward." At last this farce is over Jotaro! I…GUH!"

Dio attempt to suck the male's blood but as he did Star Platinum suddenly burst out and smashed Dio so hard in the head that his skull cracked, is very brain appeared to be ruptured.

As the effect of Dio's Stand faded and Dio landed on the ground Jotaro calmly readjusted his hat, and swept the knives out of his body, revealing they were stuck to armor Jotaro had put in between his hat and his shirt.

As he saw Dio roar out in pain he cracked his neck." That was a real pain, but even if you put me through hell it was worth it to go through with smashing your grin apart Dio!

You damaged my suit, but I sneaked some armor in my clothes because I knew I needed to lure you in to a false sense of security to have an opening. Even if Star Platinum can only currently move for hardly more than a second in the effect of The World, it's still enough to outwit you!"

Dio just kept screaming in outrage as he poured all of his power in to his self regeneration. But Jotaro had landed such a solid blow that Dio found his legs trembling from the impact. As Dio still saw blood pour out of his forehead his aura suddenly exploded with enough force to shake the entire castle." I..have a headache…and nausea! How could me, DIO, feel sick?"

Axel had pillars of fire erupt all around him before he responded with a wry,"Simple dude, you're not even close to a divine being! Seriously…Xemnas pulled it off better. You're as stubborn as a cockroach but its time your squashed! Grand Nova Guillotine!"

Dio saw the former Dark Enji look like a miniature star, one that was forming a guillotine of raw magma that was heading right for him. The vampire winced before he unleashed a barrage of eye energy blasts at the attack. While it only slowed Axel down a little, it gave the red-haired man's target enough time to fly into the air.

As Axel hit the ground and caused pillars of fire to erupt all over the area. Dio was blinded by the heat for a moment, and as he did he cursed out." Dio Brando is no cockroach! My ambitions won't be undone by inferior beings like you! The World!"

Dio focused enough to have his Stand freeze time yet again, and as Dio saw all the frozen flames he narrowed his eyes, before said organs begun to glow red." I wanted to give your deaths a touch of class, but if you insist on being insolent, then I'll merely bombard you all with eye lasers till your all dead! May your final moments be that of utter c, GUH!"

Before Dio could unleash his attack, he felt someone pull on his hair hard enough to push his head back, revealing that Doug was the one grasping him. The member of Squad 7 just met Dio's shocked look with another half-lopped smile."The big bad Dio's getting a hissy fit because he's taking to many punches to nab the prize eh? Figures."

"No…how can you move? You don't have any links to my Stand at all!"

"Maybe not prick but I'm still linked to you! I saw before that those knives moved because they were linked to yah when you froze time, so I figured it was worth a shot speed blitzing on to yah when you tried it again and it sure as hell paid off! Now that you can't hide in your precious frozen time, your mine!"

"Wait…think about what you're doing Fitter! You really are going to throw away the chance to have everything you desire? I know you're not content with your life, I know you seek to shatter the current world! Join me and the truth you desire will be reality! Humans spend their lives trying to attain 'Heaven', and I'm giving you the chance to join me and have that in your grasp! A world where all the people that stood in our way cease to be! You would forsake that for your comrades?

We both seen how hollow terms such as love truly are! Only by forcing humans to evolve to what they should be will things ever be tolerable, ever be, GUH!"

Doug showed just how fed up he was with his opponent's ranting as he grasped Dio's hands hard enough to break them. While Dio tried to use his power to freeze Doug, but the ice melted instantly with how much energy Doug was unleashing. The bearded man grit his teeth before grinding out," You know how sick I am of hearing blowhards like you ranting about making things" better"?

You know how many idiots I taken down? You know what's a real joke, my teammates been talking about the same kind of stuff you been spitting out about making things better. Instead of vampires its being all about a" slow and steady" reformation, using all this Sibyl System and Crime Coefficient tech and other stuff to nudge people one step at a time till life's a "paradise".

Tsc…makes me want to puke, Ben just has to take his job seriously, he just can't let this utopia joke go! Maybe its Cosmos's fault for feeding him this chosen one story to long but even god refuses to see that paradise, for humans and everyone else like us is not what we are.

We don't want to get along for the "team", and changing that will make us one of those hive mind freak races like those bugs, and the god damn Flood freaks! What machines and angels alike can't get is that you evolve too much, and you don't have your own identity anymore, and pain and suffering is worth it if you can handle it!

It's what proves your alive! If you ask me, it's all the people that are obsessed with evolution, with progress that's the real problem! It's because of freaks like you that keep killing people for the" greater" good, for progress, that the honest man keeps getting conned, and killed!"

Dio saw how frenzied Doug was and chuckled darkly," Your cursing at what humans have yearned for since the dawn of time, progress is what humans have," Doug suddenly headbutt Dio to shut him up before he snarled out," Well then its Cosmos and all the angels fault for shoving all these fancy holy ideas down everyone's throat! Maybe it's Zannacross's fault to, maybe its everyone's fault but I don't really care! I'm not stupid enough to think everyone will agree on things, I just know what I want, what I believe!

And I believe that the only thing that is real is what you can hold. Dio…I don't really give a damn how much we have in common! Even if you were my god damn clone I would not join you, because I don't want to be bound to anyone's will but mine! Maybe things are broken beyond repair with Aqua, maybe everything I want to do is a joke, but I don't care!

Because I'm going to try and make my path work my way no matter what! And I'll pummel any narcissistic vampire, demon, god or anything else that tries to tell me how things should be! So, let's see how many times I have to hit you till you get the message Dio! Kaio-ken…Final Shoryuken Heaven!"

Dio snarled with rage and fired eye beams at Doug's face, only for his target to casually block them with his gauntlet, and bombard Dio with punches hard enough to cause shock-waves. The martial artist then used the Kaio Ken move to perform his ultimate strike in less than a second to hit Dio with it before he got frozen in time. The result of the vicious combo was powerful enough to set Dio ablaze.

As time unfroze everyone else were confused and alarmed as they suddenly saw an explosion, which was Dio being blasted through the castle ground hard enough to shake the entire castle.

Axel noticed the sudden change, glanced at the blazing new hole in the ground and saw Doug looking frantic above him before he chuckled."I take it your hunch paid off eh man?"

Jotaro looked around to make sure Dio was not coming back for another round before he glanced at the Dio shaped hole in the castle, and glanced back at Doug." Fitter…did you kill him?"

Doug merely spat on the ground before responding with a focused."I've been doing this long enough to not call a fight till nothing's left in doubt. Still, you missed me giving a beating so hardcore even an immortal should not be able to bounce back! Still…with how crazy the rules are around here not going to let this bastard get a chance to pull a second wind out of his ass so let's get moving people!"

Axel looked at the hole before he tensed up," Are host seems to be heading in the direction of Aqua and the others. I'm sensing a few new power levels around them, that crazy chick must have called for backup."

"C'mon dude, unless the big Beyonder himself is showing up Aqua's a big girl, no flunky is going to take her down right? C'mon…I'm sick of this dude's drama dragging things down so let's shut down all the games these punks have going and shatter all their bubbles once and for all!"

Axel saw Doug fly right through the floor, saw Jotaro and the others looking at him before he shrugged and went after Doug, hoping that his fellow member of the Zodiac Pinion was just looking so frantic because of the heat of battle.

---

As Doug, Axel, Jotaro, and the others descended downwards hoping their comrades were doing ok, they did not yet realize just how intense things got after they were dragged out of the Sanctum by Wall Master demons.

After Airy revealed she was a Black Swan and used her power to turn the unstable Demise into a raging phantom of Ganondorf, Aqua and the others were doing all they could to not get overwhelmed by the treacherous fairy's savagery.

Any hopes that Link had of the monstrous new shape of his old enemy only merely looking like him were quickly dashed as the centaur like King of Evil swung his blade to try and crush Link, and while the wielder of the Master Sword used his Double Hookshot's to get out of the way, the impact the sword made was enough to not only shatter the entire section of the chamber, but unleash enough force to shatter not just the wall in front of the blade, but many of the walls past that one.

Ganondorf merely snarled with rage as he prepared to run Link through with the massive trident in his other hand. Before he could attempt to, Mario, still in his giant state, tackled the crazed replica of the King of Evil from behind to try and tried to keep him subdued.

As Mario's target roared with raw hate Airy just giggled darkly."Hey listen! That giant out of weight mustache loser may somehow have enough muscle to be a problem but his tub of lard of a gut is still a huge weak spot! Just flip that fork around and gut him or something!"

Link saw that Ganondorf seemed to be listening to the demented fairy's advice and cringed." Is, this how enemies saw me when Navi, Tatl, and my other comrades? Well…my purpose was without a doubt much nobler, when being on the other end I can see how such antics can be, annoying to some.

Steel yourself comrades, and we can overcome this vile tag team! Even if our foe looks and fights like Ganondorf, our enemy seems like an incomplete version, like the incomplete version I slayed that Koume and Kotake revived after they captured the Oracles of Seasons and Ages! If we vanquished him at his most powerful, a version of him that's only a mindless beat of rage will never stop us!"

Airy glared at Link before she crossed her arms."Like hell you're going to walk away from this you naughty trespassers! I don't care how many times you won the hero game before loser, now your archenemy is under new management! And being guided by the most superior power there is, you idiots better get your last words ready!"

Yoshi saw the Black Swan cackle before he shrugged." Yoshi heard the bad guys say that before! The Zannacross Empire thought they were the best thing since Yoshi cookies and now Bowser just looks even more stupid for that! And he's lucky he's one of the few that is still around!"

Ganondorf suddenly unleashed another deafening roar before he gave Mario a headbutt, then kicked him to the ground with his hind legs. The moment the giant plumber hit the ground the former Zannacross Inquisitor had energy form in his pig head.

As the mass of red energy grew larger Airy giggled darkly." Zannacross has nothing on my master! Soon every soul in that entire wretched inferior dimension will get the message, right before the Incursion kills every last one of them! Give them the message already!"

Ganondorf prepared to unleash his energy blast, and as he did Aqua cast a wide barrier around her comrades. However, her fairy enemy just giggled darkly."Don't think your inferior magic can stop what you have coming to yah! Acedia!"

The winged woman cast a spell to unleash purple raindrops from her wings to descend on Aqua's barrier, and to the blue haired woman's dread the Black Swan's spell eroded Aqua's reflect magic easily.

As Josuke saw Ganondorf prepare to attack he winced, and looked around before looking at Luigi, Link, and Yoshi next to him." Hey dudes, you guys better get ready to hit hard and fast cause are window out of this is closing fast! Do your thing Shinning Diamond!"

The younger Joestar quickly had his Stand punch a shattered pillar, and with his power it was quickly restored. Luigi saw that the pillar was big enough to fit in the mouth of the beast and nodded. He and Yoshi then kicked the restored pillar as hard as they could, Yoshi used his feet while Luigi and Link used their hammers.

The pillar slammed into Ganondorf's pig mouth right before he could unleash the blast, causing the blast to back fire, and be sent upward, blasting a chunk of the castle away and going all the way to hit the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, unleashing an explosion powerful enough to vaporize it in seconds.

Airy saw Josuke flash her a defiant grin before she snickered."Think your so smug with your lame Elvis hairdo? Your tricks won't bail you out forever!"

"That's what you think you lame turn coat fairy! I'll down with punching a chick in the face if she tries to mess with my family!"

Josuke attempted to go after Airy next, but as Shinning Diamond threw a punch at her, she caught the fist with ease, grasped the fist tight enough to crack the fist in her hand, and then suddenly punched Shinning Diamond hard enough to smash him and Josuke at once into the wall.

As Josuke yelled in pain Airy crossed her arms."It's going to be so enjoyable watching you stupid sexist bastards fry! One world after another, Rabum Alal will exterminate you all and there is nothing you can do about it!"

Ganondorf was about to attack again, but before he could Aqua suddenly powered up with enough force that her aura blew some of the rubble in the room away, and Airy noticed the Enji had ice form around some of her limbs.

Max's former teammate pointed her sword at the Black Swan."Your wrong Airy, we did not descend into this sick Battle-World to throw our lives away, we came here to protect what we care about! It's you Black Swans that will pay a price for underestimating the Enji Knights!"

"Oh shut up! You can't scare me no matter how much ice you can dish out! You think something so basic can really stop such supreme beings?"

"Guess there is only one way to find out eh?"

"Ugh…hey listen, gore that stuck up bimbo's head into your trident already! She may know some spells but it does not matter what she throws at you when you can brute force it!"

Ganondorf roared before he charged right at Aqua. The blue haired Enji jumped into the air and fired a Blizzaga spell at her attacker, only for Ganondorf to slash at it with his sword, causing ice to erupt all over the area. As some head in her direction Airy sneered." You insult me by thinking that such basic magic is worth a damn in the face of the envoys of the all mighty! Zeta Flare!"

The treacherous Black Swan unleashed another energy blast that instantly melted all the ice blocking her and Ganondorf from seeing Aqua. As the Enji once more crossed her sight Airy grinned, before at her mental command Ganondorf impaled her right through the chest.

Airy burst out laughing as she hear Aqua scream before she flew closer." HAH! What's that for paying a price for underestimating you Enji Knights? I think it will be great taking your corpse back to your boyfriends to see the look on their faces! Hell Dio can turn you in to a vampire slave for all I care as long as you, huh? Wait, NO!"

Airy's glee swiftly morphed to dismay as Aqua's entire body suddenly turned to ice, before exploding and unleashing massive amount of ice in all directions, freezing much of the one who impaled her's body. Airy had some ice hit her right wing before she sneered out." Tsc…big deal someone like me will never be frozen! I'll, huh, what the?"

The Black Swan was shocked to see that not only was her wing frozen, but that all the aura around it was being drained. Airy saw that Ganondorf's pig head and most of his lower body was frozen, and that the ice was glowing before Aqua suddenly descended from the ceiling.

The Enji saw Airy give her a deathly glare before she put both hands on her Rainfall Katana." Maybe normal ice is not enough, but I studied all over the universe and beyond to find ways to break my limits! And that's how I found ways to make ice that not only freezes the body, but the soul, ice that freezes any kind of energy, theoretically being able to seal any kind of special ability! Your treacherous heart's ambitions are being stopped cold here Airy, Shikai Hyōketsu!"

Aqua's entire body became covered with ice, before all of that ice poured into her blade. As she waved it, suddenly the entire area around her, Airy and Ganondorf including, became frozen in glowing ice in a matter of seconds.

Luigi held his breath and blinked, and after seeing that the two enemies were still frozen solid before he laughed."Wow Aqua, you made that look to easy! No offense but you think you piled on the cold hard enough to take them out for good?"

"It's possible but don't feel relived yet." Aqua uttered as she landed on the ground." In theory the spell I worked on was meant to be able to freeze anything, but since I created this move after we defeated Zannacross I tested it only a limited amount of times. Still, the flash freezing did work on anything."

Link saw Ravio, Hilda, and the other freed sages before he smirked." I don't know if things worked the same in this world but, to freeze even a phantom of Ganondorf, a being who has the power of the divine Tri-Force with him, is no small task Aqua. Come, let us see if this Dio can fall prey to the ice as, huh?"

Everyone saw the pillar of ice that formed in an instant in the center of the sanctum chamber crack, before it shattered, revealing that the red energy was still flowing across the castle. Suddenly the pillar of souls crackled with black lighting, before a bolt struck the frozen Airy. The Black Swan's body suddenly glowed white, before the ice around her shattered.

The villainous fairy flew up with a crazed look, and as she saw the dread and shock of the others around her she just cackled darkly." That was close! Your spell very well may be able to freeze any mortal substance, but you keep forgetting your trying to defy godly will!

If we were fighting somewhere else that little stunt might have worked, but too bad for you this pillar of energy Dio's conjuring is doing its job, and forming a portal that is linking dimensions, providing a direct link to my master! Rabum Alal will not let the will of petty humans stand in his way, just prepare to die already!"

Aqua saw Airy cast a spell to unfreeze Ganondorf before she cringed."We already proved that not even a being that calls themselves god will be allowed to just treat everyone else as their toys to play with!"

Aqua had chains of ice burst out to try and grasp the Black Swan, but as Airy saw the sub-zero projectiles coming for her she formed a sadistic look."You may have stopped Chaos Zannacross Necron, but my master is not just the master of darkness, he is the true master of everything! Both Cosmos and Zannacross worked together to deny him what was rightfully his! That's why, everything that is part of them must suffer! Chaos Divergence!"

The vile fairy suddenly had the symbols on her wings glow red, before she released twin black orbs from them. She sent on in the way of Aqua's ice chains, and the orbs revealed themselves to be miniature black holes that sucked the magic in to her.

As traumatic memories of when Zannacross killed her and everyone else with a black hole like spell of his own after he was revived, the female Enji dashed backwards as fast as she could, only for Airy to gleefully direct it at her.

Link, Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi all tried to attack Airy from behind to stop her, only for their target to glare at them and unleash another orb from her other wing.

Mario saw the projectile heading for him and cringed before he canceled the effects of the Mega Mushroom to shrink in time to avoid being sucked in. Even so, all four members of the Justice Force quickly found themselves having to hold on to rubble as hard as they could to avoid being sucked in.

Airy laughed loudly at hearing Luigi scream before she flew higher."That's right, scream, despair! This is the end for every last, GUH!"

Airy was about to try and increase the power of her Chaos Divergence spells to attempt to finish Aqua and the others off, when suddenly an arrow of light hit her arm.

Even more holy energy spells slammed into her, burning the Black Swan hard enough to break her focus. As her spells shattered she glared at the directions of the attacks, and saw that they came from Hilda, Agnès, Calista, Miyako, and the other sages that were free.

As Airy glared at her, Hilda just glared back as she took out a rapier of pure light and pointed it at the Black Swan."Airy, whatever your true nature, I won't allow you to devastate my realm! I may have faltered before, but I will do all within my power to protect Lorule!"

"Tee he…that's rich coming from a fraud of a princess! Hell, when it comes down to it every last part of you is a fraud Hilda. That's right, a puppet that's role has ended should just resin themselves to destruction! No one but your sad little toadies will care when you croak! Enough..Arma…"

Airy had her aura surge, but just as she was about to announce a new attack a determined male voice cut in with,"We all care lady! I have her back far more then yours! Go Reverb!"

The Black Swan heard collapsing sounds and swerved around to see Yuri, Star-Lord and the rest of the Joestar's charge in from the other side. Koichi charged at Airy first and had his Stand try to attack her from above.

She swiftly flew backwards, but as she grinned Okuyasu saw that and grit his teeth." Don't think you're getting away that easy for hurting my buds! Do it now, The Hand!"

Josuke's friend used his Stand's power to strike, and while Airy was confused for a moment she got dreadful clarity a moment later when the man's Stand's power moved the space she was in, to right below Reverb.

As she widened her eyes in shock the younger man's Stand attacked, and used his power to create enough gravitational pressure to force Airy to the ground hard enough to slam her face.

As she snarled with rage Josuke recovered enough to chuckle." Not so fun when it's on the other end eh? Nice timing guys, don't give her any breathing room! She may not look like it but she has some sick magic!"

Rocket ran in and just chuckled as he found a good shooting position." That so eh dude? Well good thing my guns have more than one bullet eh?"

"I am Groot."

"What? I know this gun does not use bullets Groot I was being coy!"

Airy glared at the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy before she hissed out," Your little toys may have taken out those Black Priests, but someone like me won't fall so easily, I won't allow it you vulgar angry beaver!"

"Beaver? I'm no beaver lady!"

"That's right, your just bloody ash! Zeta Flare!"

Despite being frozen the Black Swan resisted the intense gravity pushing her down as much as she could to aim another spell at Rocket, but as she fired at him, Estelle, Flynn, Rita, and more fired spells of their own to protect Rocket. Thanks to his allies, the racoon gunslinger was able to get his shot through.

The Black Swan snarled with rage as the blast hit her and she felt her magical energy be ruptured. Link saw her eyes glow before he tensed up." Quickly, vanquish her before she has the chance to rebound!"

Airy saw Yuri, Judith, Mario, and others charging at her before she looked livid."Stupid inferior beings, you can't beat me, that's now how the game works! Master…sorry for taking so long but please, help me enforce your will!"

Everyone tensed up as the pillar of energy crackled with black lighting, before energy once more headed for Airy. Some of her enemies tried to slash or blast the energy but it kept moving out of their way.

As she got hit with the stream, she instantly had her aura surge before she laughed madly." Did it sink in yet that your trying to defy the will of the true god that is beyond all others? No matter what tricks you try my master will keep sending energy into me till your all dead! So just fry already! Arma, GUH!"

Airy seemed like she was about to unleash another spell…when suddenly Cia showed everyone she was not quite dead, by hurling her whip part of her scepter, right at the back of the one who blasted her's neck.

The Black Swan screamed in pain, and was as shocked as everyone to see Cia still standing, and grinning weakly. Airy was about to shout out before Cia suddenly had her scepter glow purple, and energy from the Black Swan's body suddenly flowed into Cia's weapon.

Cia coughed up blood before cooing out a bitter,"Rabum Alal may have limitless power, but his vessels can still have his energy redirected! I might not be a Black Swan such as you, but Lord Dio did instruct me on how to redistribute energy from my targets to help smooth his plans. How unlucky of you, to think you could think so low of me and not pay the price! Ugh…quickly…kill her!"

"Damn pathetic whore, like hell you're going to stop me! Dis…"

Airy tried to finish what she started when she showed her true nature, but as Airy tried to fly upward with all her might, Jolyne ran over and used her Stone Free Stand to grasp her wings and arms.

As the fairy glared at her Jotaro's daughter just snickered." I just met you and I already want you to shut the hell up! Waste her already!"

Aqua quickly jumped forward and unleashed a killer thrust with her katana, and while Airy caught the strike her arm froze as she did. She tried to blast Aqua with her other hand, only for Hilda to charge at her with a burst of courage and thrust her rapier in Airy's hand, causing holy energy to surge into the Black Swan's body.

Link suddenly charged forward as he poured all of his energy into the Master Sword." Airy…this ends now! I admit at first you reminded me of my dear friend Navi. One of my regrets is that I never was able to find her. But you don't deserve to be compared to any of my fairy comrades! You're just a heartless villain hiding in their shape! But like all villains who twist the darkness, you shawl be purged! Tri-Force Slash!"

Link gave no time for the Black Swan to curse back as he swiftly unleashed his most powerful combo assault and barraged Airy without mercy. As the owner of the Master Sword completed his combo and the shape of the Tri-Force appeared around her the Black Swan uttered a crazed,"Master, please, help me! Don't let your faithful servant fall to these, huh?"

Airy noticed her wings were starting to crack before her eyes widened in dread."What? Your…tired of…me? No your Malevolence! Please oh great R…"

Mario and Luigi both jumped as high as they could before Mario cried out,"Mamma Mia lady, take a hint! Come on Luigi, give Link all the fire you can a throw out!"

His brother nodded before the Mario Bro's unleashed twin massive fire balls, that hit the Master Sword, giving Link even more power before he slashed right through his target. This caused Airy to cry out in delirious fury." Why, why Master? You are most…unkind-Aaaaah…!"

At last the damage became too great as the cracks on Airy's body widened, and her entire body shattered, unleashing an explosion that blasted everyone back. As Luigi landed on the ground he readjusted his hat and anxiously looked around." Did that do it? Or…is she just coming back even nastier, stronger, and uglier?"

"Yoshi does not think so Luigi." His green pal retorted." If that nasty fairy lady wanted to come back she is taking her time."

"I think that blow was the decisive one Yoshi." Link uttered as he lowered his blade." Cia's actions were successful in draining Airy of her energy. As far as I can tell…her action made the difference."

Ravio saw Cia have blood dripping down her mouth before he tensed up." Cia…you saved us?"

"Is it that hard to think I would want to get back at the person who tried to kill me and vaporized my arm?" Cia threw out bitterly before coughing up blood." Stop looking at me like I'm already a corpse damn it, I have enough magic left to repress my injuries."

Hilda saw the other sages looking wary before she sighed." Cia…I'm still finding it hard to forgive you for your treachery, but I must thank you for this."

"Tsc…I did not do it for you Princess. I did it…because I could not stand to see my beloved get killed by an uppity drone like her. Link…did I finally do something to show you my devotion is sincere?"

Link and Ravio exchanged troubled glances before Link saw the instability in her eyes, and took a deep breath." Cia…the actions you just did were the highest caliber of nobility. But… I do wonder if you grasp why those actions are just. Well…to be fair things like that take time to understand."

Before he could go on Josuke suddenly cleared his throat."That's all true dude but to be frank don't forget we are on a time table here! Glad we survived this but now we got to figure out where your buds, my buds and my family got warped to! I know how strong Doug, Axel, and my brother and father are but Dio's one nasty dude! Now that things are all wrapped up here lets…"

Josuke was cut off when suddenly a surge of dark energy crackled around the still frozen Ganondorf, till to everyone's dread he proceeded to be unfrozen as dark energy blasted out of him. As the King of Evil gave another murderous roar Aqua cringed." You Joestar's are not very good at reading cue's eh?"

As Josuke winced Jolyne rolled her eyes." Hey…don't think this dumbass is a good representative for the Joestar family, he's just an idiot."

Before the male Joestar could argue Ganondorf slowly stomped in their direction. Link warily got ready for battle before he noticed the phantom of his arch nemesis's body appeared to be dripping in segments before he raised an eyebrow." I'm not sure but he seems…even more unstable."

"That's because he is." Cia answered dryly." That Swan bimbo was using a more effective version of the mind control I was using on him. With her gone, Demise, or whatever your calling him is unstable, both mentally and physically."

Ganondorf narrowed his eyes before he suddenly swung his sword erratically, causing pillars of fire to erupt and head for many of the hero's.

As Josuke, Luigi and more quickly ran to avoid being deep fried Cia shrugged." I suppose that being said, even in his unstable state it still has enough power to cause a problem even in his unstable state."

Hilda felt a pulse of energy, and looked at her hand." I can feel the energy of the Tri-Force pulsing through him! If only we could get it out of him, the fragment that was said to be part of Demise could be combined with the fragments in Ravio and I and we could use the Tri-Force's power to help us win!"

"So, this, so Lorule has a Tri-Force as well?" Link noticed as he looked at Ganondorf 's glowing body." I see…that could help us without a doubt. However, getting him to relinquish it will prove difficult."

Cia sighed before cutting in with a wary," I might be able to extract the Tri-Force from him using my magic, it was my, my ordinal purpose to be able to govern the power of the Tri-Force after all. It, will require time though."

"I'll hold him down, just make sure you do what you say you will!"

Aqua had more chains of ice burst out of the ground to try and freeze the crazed King of Evil. As she did Cia saw Hilda and Ravio still were giving her wary looks before she chuckled." Still anxious princess? Don't worry…I'll keep my word, as long as the hero was not lying about me being the person he wants to be."

"I would prefer if you were doing this to be the person you wanted to be but, one step at a time. I'll keep my word if…"

Ganondorf suddenly cut everyone off another defining roar before his body pulsated with power, and he snarled out," LINK! You will never know peace, no matter what you do, no matter how long it takes, my hate will curse you till the end of time! My very existence…is to be the bane of your existence!"

Link saw his arch nemesis suddenly unleash a blast of red energy from his human face's eyes. He blocked it with his mirror shield, and as he saw the raw hate in the former King of the Gerudo tribe he winced." Ganondorf, the grudge between us has spanned centuries.

Sometimes…I wondered if you were just a victim of fate as well, that the Demon King Demise and Zannacross just made you a pawn in their game. At other times, I wondered if you were embraced by them because your heart was already synchronized to the darkness.

You seemed to have more to your thoughts then mere villainy, but as you kept coming back from death you became more hateful, to the point where your hatred of me, Zelda and those that rejected you was so great that you became a being of raw malice and hatred that worked with Zannacross to try and erase the entire universe.

Perhaps I'll never know the truth now…but I do know this grudge ends now! Your hatred was enough to linger on in my nightmares, but I won't let you shape the future! We will create a truly better Hyrule, one shaped by hope, not despair!"

Link then gathered enough power to smash the energy blast back at its sender, before he saw Ravio had a hammer with him, jumped on said hammer, and used his hook shot to grapple on to the top of the room, before coming down and jabbing the Master Sword into something it's had experience penetrating, Ganondorf's head. Link saw the mad monster roar with rage before he yelled out,"Now Cia!"

His obsessive former enemy nodded, before her scepter shimmered with light and she fired a beam of energy at her target. To everyone's relief Cia kept her word as a beam of light hit Ganondorf, and moments later a large golden triangle burst out of his body. Ravio and Hilda suddenly saw their hands glow before beams of light hit the triangle.

Link was shocked to see a Tri-Force appear that had the same golden color of the one from Hyrule that was currently in his body, only that it was inverted. Ganondorf roared one last time in vain, before the light left his eyes, and his body slowly dissolved in to a raw dark liquid.

As Ravio saw the monstrous demon dissolve till only the pig head remained his attention was drawn to the Tri-Force. As it floated down in front of him and Hilda he could not help but have his jaw drop in aw." So…the legends of Lorule's divine treasure is real after all? So, the Tri-Force of courage was really in me after all?"

Hilda smirked before reacting with a warm." Sometimes one's true nature is buried deep within and just needs a spark to reignite the fire. As the legends say…the Tri-Force will appear to us in our time of need. The power to grant one wish, we need that now more than ever."

Josuke eyed the Tri-Force carefully before he looked at Hilda, then at Cia, then back to the leader of Lorule." So it was real eh? We can use this for anything? Will, it let us wish away Dio and win this Battle-World thing? Hey, we went through a lot already so works for me! How does it work, there is a button or something?"

"More like you focus your heart's desire and transmit it to the Tri-Force. Its power is not limitless…but it should be able to help us." Link uttered

Ravio then looked eagerly at the golden object before he approached it." Well long as we can use this to zap that smug look off Dio's face and go home it works for me! So, do I have to say out loud I want to wish Dio gone or."

Before Ravio could go on everyone heard a crashing noise, followed by a scream of rage before Dio suddenly crashed down from the still frozen ceiling and bounced to the ground. As everyone saw Dio was not getting up Ravio just laughed."Oh wow it worked faster than I thought!"

Aqua saw that the Tri-Force had not changed at all, and heard Dio moan before she tensed up." So that's Dio? I'm not a Tri-Force expert or anything but…something tells me that this did not happen because of your wish."

Before she could go on everyone heard a brash chuckle from above."Got that right Aqua…I'm no genie!"

Doug suddenly flew down from the hole in the ceiling, and as Axel, Jotaro and the others joined him. Josuke grinned at this sight before running up to the other members of his family." Jotaro, did you guys pull it off? Did you really beat Dio?"

"That's what I'm about to find out kid." Doug uttered as he spat in Dio's direction. Before he could say more he noticed Cia and raised an eyebrow." What's that stalker chick doing still breathing? What…she seriously had all her nasty ideas in the arm she's now missing?"

Link saw Cia looking like a cornered rat in the face of Doug's harsh glare and got in front of her."It's a long story Doug, after you all were transported away the battle took a few twist and turns."

As Link began to explain Airy's betrayal, Doug failed to notice Dio slowly move his head up. The vampire saw the Tri-Force from Lorule and sprouted a weak grin." So…the Forsaken Calamity ritual worked after all? Seems it did not go entirely as planned…but it matters not as long as the end result, the power source I sought, was obtained!

These unruly bastards gave me more trouble than I thought, but all this pain just will make the prize even sweeter! Pain has never stopped me before, Dio Brando won't stop till he reaches the end point of my stars to destiny!"

Dio then had a crazed look form before focusing all of his power to scream out,"ZA WARUDO!"

Doug saw Dio stir before he tensed up."Ah hell, you're not, huh? Damn it all!"

The blond haired Enji prepared to try and finish Dio off, but by the time he moved his target and already used his Stand to freeze time, and by the time unfroze everyone gasped in horror as they suddenly saw Dio grasping the Lorule Tri-force.

Golden energy was already coursing through his body, healing the injuries Doug landed on him in an accelerated race.

As Doug and the many Joestar's glared at him Dio just laughed madly." I see you killed the Black Swan? Not bad…but your luck ends here! Yes, thank you for unlocking all the tools I need for my ultimate victory! Now, I command the Tri-Force to fulfill my deepest wish, to evolve me to the point where I have a power of god!"

Doug's rage exploded before he seethed out," You're only evolving to dust you prick! Masako!"

The Enji swiftly unleashed his most powerful energy blast to try and end Dio for good, but before the blast could hit the Lorule Tri-Force glowed with light and consumed Dio with a massive golden pillar of energy, one powerful enough to shatter Doug's energy beam. At the same time the remains of Ganondorf roared madly, and charged at the energy pillar as a unstable flying pig head.

Before anyone could figure out the proper reaction the pig head of energy collided into the pillar, resulting in an explosion of dark light that blinded everyone." Damn it all…can't these idiots ever take a hint and just give up?" Doug cursed out. Before he could answer Dio suddenly cut in with a snide,"You should take the hint Fitter, that Dio Brando never gives up, he just is motivated by the strife to evolve even further!"

Everyone saw the light had faded, and that Dio had emerged from the pillar, transforming in the process. Now looking more muscular, and now dressed in a long white robe and white chaps with a golden trim, adorned with golden kneepads, golden boots and a belt bearing a "D" motif and arm cuffs engraved with his name.

His chest was now covered with a white tank-top and an Egyptian-esque neckpiece that also bore a "D" on it. His face itself now had a golden star on his forehead with ceremonious markings running down his cheeks repeating the word "DIO.

Hilda noticed that Dio's skin was now black and coal like, his eyes were glowing red, and his hair was longer and fiery red like Demise gasped in terror. "No…not only did Dio absorb the Tri-Force…he absorbed all of Demise's soul into him?"

Dio laughed madly as he grasped his fist and suddenly unleashed a dark aura that was intense enough to blast those around him off his feet. As he saw his own muscles he cackled with glee."HAH! You and underlings like Yuga alike all thought that Demise was the one at the top, but all along it was me, Dio! I must thank you though, subduing Demise made this all much easier! Yes…this is the power of the Tri-Force eh? It suits this body perfectly!"

Dio disturbed everyone as he suddenly scratched his head like he had an itch, and clawed at his own head hard enough to rip some of it off. Dio just laughed as he saw blood fall down, and his wound healed in seconds before he pointed his right finger at Jotaro."You Joestar's tried so hard but in the end, all of your struggles was just the fuel that would ignite my ultimate ascension! In the end, the Joestar bloodline, the citizens of Lorule, and all the other contestants of Battle-World are just."

Before he could finish he found a blade had went through his head, and everyone saw that Polnareff had sneaked around while Dio was ranting and had Sliver Chariot stab him through the head.

Dio eyed Jotaro's ally before the sliver haired man shouted out a driven,"This is for Kakyoin and everyone else you killed you bastard! I timed this right, even if you got a whole ton of new powers I just stabbed you through your brain! The World can't save you now that I already unleashed Hamon into your body from the inside! At last, its over!"

Everyone held their breath, till Dio just snickered as his head wound healed instantly."It is indeed over, for you Polnareff! Pitiful…you were so eager to avenge your friend that you made the same mistake. To your credit, that might have worked on my previous self so I'll reward you, with a death to remember! Make him scream…Killer Queen!"

Jotaro and Jonathan became consumed with dread as they saw a Stand appear out of Dio once more. However, everyone quickly saw that the Stand was not The World, but a new one.

This Stand looked light in color overall. Its crown was flat, while two sharp, triangular shapes resembling cat ears stand on either side of the top of its head. Its eyes comprise cat-like vertical pupils in front of generally light-colored sclera. It had no nose, and its thin-lipped mouth is perpetually closed.

It wore dark, studded, leather-like forearm-length gloves, mirrored in style by a garter belt-like band at its waist and ankle-height footwear. Its thumbs were additionally bandaged in white.

Four short spikes line the top of its back. Its shoulders, the back of its hands, belt buckle, a plate hanging in front of its crotch, both sides of its ankles and the top of its feet all bear the emblem of a skull with ears resembling its own, in varying sizes and external decoration.

As everyone tried to figure out what to make of the new Stand, they quickly realized what was going on as Killer Queen suddenly grasped Polnareff by the neck. Dio snapped his fingers, before the new Stand glowed, and orange lines spread across Polnareff 's body.

Jotaro and the others rushed to his friend's aid but before they could Polnareff screamed in pain, till his body exploded like he was a bomb. Doug saw Sliver Chariot also explode and just grimaced."Great…now the freak can make god damn bombs out of people? The hell…I thought everyone only had one Stand anyway?"

Josuke winced before muttering,Hold on, that Stand looks like the same one that was being one of Dio's assassins earlier on, that freaky Kira Yoshikage!"

Dio just snickered before he crossed his arms."You're not as dimwitted as I assumed boy. Your correct, the Stand Killer Queen once belonged to Kira Yoshikage, but his power became mine, when I absorbed his soul!"

Aqua just rolled her eyes before spitting out,"The more you talk, the more you disgust me. Just die…Shikai Hyōketsu!"

The woman Enji tried to finish Dio off by having everything around him become frozen with magic sealing ice, but as her spell froze the entire area of the castle she was shocked to see Dio was suddenly besides her.

The vampire chuckled as the blue haired Enji noticed her before he hissed out,"Nice try…that might have worked on my previous self!" Dio casually slapped Aqua in the face, but she was able to rebound and as Axel caught her Jotaro grinded out,"The hell…did Dio use The World again? He did not even see the attack coming!"

"How observant Jotaro!" Dio smugly retorted." But thanks to the other Stand I absorbed semi willingly from Diavolo, King Crimson, in conjunction with being able to freeze time with The World, King Crimson also allows me to possess the ability to erase time and predict the future!"

Everyone saw another Stand appear alongside Killer Queen, one that's body was covered by a raised diagonal grid, red underneath; save for its face, neck, shoulder guards, elbows, hands, abdomen, crotch, knees and feet/footwear.

Its eyes comprise sharp orifices of a steep inward slant; from which emerge small, round fish-like eyes that have the same fragmented pupils that. Its crown is flat; and from its forehead emerged a raised level that bears a smaller, oval face of the same expression.

Doug just spat on the ground as he struggled to keep his cool."So this prick can make someone's body turn into a bomb and be able to see the future? You were playing around with us before? Bastard…no matter how many tricks you have I'm still going to kick your ass!"

Dio's eyes glowed before suddenly the same broken infinity symbol that appeared on Ultron-Sigma and Superboy Prime appeared on his forehead.

His aura became intense enough to shake the entire castle, and as a ring of light resembling a halo suddenly appeared around Dio the vampire looked smugly at Doug." To be fair, previously I only had enough energy to have one Stand be active at a present time so I went with my own, The World.

But thanks to the boost in power I have from both the Tri-Force and merging with Demise, I can now use the full power of the gift Rabum Alal bestowed to me after winning the previous phase of Battle World, his Vollständig!

Assuming that the Black Swan was not merely telling tales…Rabum Alal realized my glorious might and rewarded me by making me part of his Auswählen, a ritual that bestowed me a part of his very soul!

Yes, mine is the letter O, Ouroboros! It personifies my hunger to devour and evolve, and thus grants me the power to devour and then utilize the abilities of any devoured soul!

When I was given this power my faithful servant Enrico Pucci realize my greatness must not be denied, and gathered anyone we could find in this makeshift planet, before we went through with sacrificing thirty-six sinners, including Kira, Diavolo, and Enrico himself!

It took some time to properly "digest" all that energy, but at last I can manifest my will in its purist state, I Dio Brando have evolved to the ultimate evolved being…Heaven Ascension DIO! At last, all the years of struggle have borne fruit! At last having divine power at my fingertips, I feel so good I could break out in to song! But…I'll save that for my victory."

Dio laughed madly before he casually jabbed his own finger into his brain and casually drilled out blood just to disgust his opponents."Yes…it's been over a century since I obtained immortality, but I didn't feel as absolutely wonderful as I feel now! Divine power suits me, after all it's been my true destiny! At last, I will shape the truth to be how I wish it!"

Cia saw Dio's self-inflicted wound heal instantly before she grimaced."Damn…so that's what all the captives were used for? Everything, was a lie after all."

Dio smirked at Cia before making a beckoning gesture."No…it was not a lie Cia…depending on if your able to see things clearly! I see you had a disagreement with the Black Swan, but I'm not as tactless as Airy! I fully intend to reward all who serve me, I'll even revive Enrico and the others once I create my new world. Yes…why should I erase those who have good sense to them?

I don't know what false hopes and lies the Joestar's and these" heroes" infected your head with but you would do well to see things clearly! After all…my hands are now the divine power that which will create what is the truth, the truth that none will stand in my way!"

Doug saw Cia was looking conflicted before he rolled his eyes, and powered up as hard as he could, releasing enough energy to cause Dio to look at him." You spent over one hundred years conning yourself into thinking you're a god, just like all the other losers who can't face that they suck!

I don't care what rituals you done or what you transformed yourself into Dio…you're still a blowhard that has to be dragged down to earth! You're not going to remake reality itself dude, no matter how" special" you are you keep treating "common" folk as stepping stones and you're going to answer for that!"

"And you think you're the one to make me answer for my sins Fitter? Just try it, I can predict any move you will make, and when your attack fails the price will be turning your body into a bomb!"

"All those skills mean jack if you don't have enough time to react!"

With that Doug vanished in a blur of super speed. Dio just chuckled as he had Killer Queen throw a punch to the left. For a moment, it seemed like Dio succeeded in hitting the Enji, only for Doug's image to vanish, revealing Dio just hit a after image.

Dio just snickered before having King Crimson unleash a backhand strike behind him with enough force to create a shockwave, only him to hit yet another after image. At the same time Doug suddenly appeared right in front of Dio to unleash an uppercut. Doug grinned for a moment, before suddenly a gravitational force pushed his punch away.

The member of Squad 7 was annoyed as he saw yet another Stand appear in front of Dio, this one with a face that was skeletal. It had completely red eyes with thick, spiked eyelashes, and vein-like textures and patterns on its face its head, shoulders, arms and legs bear short, arrow-shaped (↑) vestiges. The back and sides of its head along with a belt incorporating a long, arrow-tipped tail possess a fur-like texture.

As Doug tried to make his blow go through Dio just smirked."Nice try…but thanks to the power of C-Moon, the Stand of my loyal servant Enrico Pucci, I have the power to repel all matter away from me!"

"That so?" Doug seethed out in response." Guess I just have to push too hard for you to push back! Kaio-Ken…Sanjuu no Kiwami!"

The blond-haired man let his energy explode before he moved around as a red blur, at an even faster pace than he did when he blitzed Azrael. Even with King Crimson letting Dio sense were Doug would be, his target was moving too fast to react properly and Doug smashed Dio right in the throat, slamming him hard enough to smash him for the wall.

Doug prepared to follow up with a blow to try and shatter Dio's head, only to find a force smash his own head, smashing him hard enough into the wall to leave a crater and move the entire castle.

As Doug coughed up blood Dio laughed once more, before he crossed his arms." It seems I'm powerful enough to leave a dent now eh Fitter? You're quite the beast indeed, but you did not forget The World did you?"

Dio's original stand appeared in front of him once more, now a tad larger and resembling the colors Dio currently had with its eyes now being inverted, producing black sclera, white irises and black pupils.

As The World, Killer Queen, King Crimson and C-Moon all surrounded Dio before the vampire sneered out,"To be precise its now The World Over Heaven. I'm still adjusting to the full extent of its new abilities, but the power to bend reality to my will is within my grasp!"

Jotaro cracked his knuckles before blurting out,"Your still one man…everyone swarm him before he finishing adjusting to his new powers!"

Axel spun his Chakram weapons around rapidly before throwing out a dry,"Fine with me…let's see if all of those new powers made him fire proof! Magma Gale!"

The former Dark Enji swiftly used his power to send a powerful heat based projectile Dio's way, but his target enjoyed using his enhanced strength and magic to have lighting come down from the sky, and shoot the attack to shatter it.

As the light faded Jotaro, Josuke, Link, Gamora, Yuri, Drax, and more charge at Dio from all directions. The vampire demon fusion enjoyed having the four Stands block all their attacks at once.

As he saw the Joestar's desperately try to break his defenses he grinned."With my current power, it would be easy to just kill them all while they are frozen in time. However…it would be wise to test the extent of my current power, so that I don't have any surprises for when I fight the champions from the other worlds. Heh…to the very end you Joestar's will serve me!"

Dio casually caught the Master Sword before he threw Link into Yuri, and then uppercut all the others with his many fists at once. He grasped Josuke and prepared to have Killer Queen make his body explode, only for Jotaro to punch his fellow Joestar out of Dio's grip.

Jotaro saw Dio's look turn to pure murder and tried to defend himself, only for The World Over Heaven to kick Jotaro in the gut before he even saw it.

Dio licked his lips before eagerly pummeling Jotaro as fast as he could."Do you see how truly futile it is to defy my destiny you Jojo trash? It was useless before, now its ten times more useless! You attempted to make a mockery out of me, the price for that will be a painful erasure from existence itself!"

Before Dio could try and go through with his murderous desire, he saw a flash and had King Crimson intercept Doug's newest kick. As he kept blocking Doug's attacks he sneered out," You should have joined me when you had the chance…now that I closed the gap in our strength I'll beat the smugness out of you!"

"Try it sucker….stronger dudes then you tried and failed! Sphere of Might!"

Doug unleashed an energy blast right at Dio's face, and his target caught it with The World Over Heaven and while he was pushed back a few feet, he was able to shatter it. As he did Axel and Aqua both attacked him from different directions, Axel attacking with his Erupting Volcanic Crusher attack while Aqua risked attacking him with her katana enchanted to an absolute zero state.

Dio snickered before he caught Axel's ax of raw magma with King Crimson, and used the power of C-Moon to have Aqua's fringed blade be repelled by a gravitational force. The villain prepared to grasp Aqua with Killer Queen, only for a reflect barrier the Enji previously set up to repel him. Dio narrowed his eyes and prepared to apply more power to break through it, only for Doug to charge at him.

While Doug was once more using the Kaio Ken, The symbol of the Tri-Force on Dio's right hand glowed as he unleashed enough power to push Doug's fist back. Dio eagerly had all of his Stand's pummel Doug before hissing out,"You truly are a stubborn one Doug Fitter…but its beyond worthless! No matter how hard you swing your fists, you will never strike down a god!"

"I don't care who is in front of me Dio! Like I keep saying, don't matter if it's just a rat or a god or even a godly rat! I don't roll over to anyone, I'll keep punching till it's over one way or another!"

"Tsc…I can admire your sheer tenacity…after all a desire to defy the odds is a trait I share. Alas…your simply not the one fate smiled on. Your heart can accept it or deny it but your body will one way or another when I'm done with you!"

Dio pressed on Doug's right hand hard enough to twist it. Dio took delight in hearing a cracking sound as he smashed Doug through another wall. The vampire prepared to follow up on his assault only for Estelle, Rita, Hilda, Rocket, Yoshi, Mario, Star-Lord, and more to fire projectiles at him.

Dio saw this, and instead of using his various powers to evade or repel the attacks, he merely had his aura explode before he uppercut the combined energy blast upward with his right hand.

Dio just looked in amusement as most of his own castle was vaporized above him, and just gleefully looked at the chaotic sky before he glanced down at everyone." Struggle all you like, but you will all submit to the truth of the world, the truth that this is Dio's world, soon enough!"

Jotaro chuckled at this, causing Dio to raise an eyebrow, before the man in the hat blurted out,"You're the one that's blind to the truth Dio. No matter how powerful you get, people are never going accept you as their ruler!

Only your zealots want you in charge, and half of them you had to make vampires to not talk back! As much as you love yourself talk you're an egocentric prick that few can stand to put up with once they know the real you!"

"Tsc…its strength…not likeability that matters in a true leader Jotaro. When my strength is seen, the rabble will get in line, or suffer till they see things clearly."

"Maybe for a while Dio." Joseph uttered as he tipped his hat."My grandmother told me a few stories about how my grandfather understood you after a while when you were living together Dio! Despite how…assertive you could be, before you became a vampire you had few true friends.

You were to bitter already to open your heart. To hateful of your fellow man, so you only had followers, not friends. Few would accept you, to the point where you have to rewrite reality just to get the love you think you deserve! Such a twisted, GUH!"

Dio showed how annoyed he was at Joseph by using the World to Freeze time, and unfreeze it with his hand thrusted into the oldest of the Joestar's stomach. As Joseph screamed in pain Dio sprouted a psychotic look."I won't let a pathetic fossil lecture me! Do you know how vexing it is to be surrounded by inferiors?

The world, if not the universes itself is infested with worthless vermin, and the infection is so severe the only solution is to remake reality itself to how it should be, a realm where the stupid our not allowed to exist! And I'll gladly start off by erasing you first!"

Jotaro tried to rush at Dio from behind on instinct, but King Crimson caught Star Platinum's fists, before Dio eagerly jabbed his own through Jotaro's left lung. As Jotaro coughed up blood Dio threw out a mocking,"Were you going to say, "You will never win Dio?" You thought wrong because you gave in to your base emotions, as always! At long last, it's time to wrap up this old era, so that my glorious new era can begin!"

Dio saw Doug and some of the others coming at him and unleashed another enhanced eye laser blast to keep them back. As they did Jolyne tried to pull Jotaro free using Stone Free, but to her dismay Dio caught her stretchy Stand with Killer Queen, and looked delighted at seeing the twin horror of father and daughter." You have a crafty child Jotaro. Alas you sealed her fate when you deluded her into thinking she was craftier then me!"

"NO! Leave her out of this Dio she does not have anything to do with this!"

"Now that's just silly. Of course she has everything to do with this, she is part of the Joestar bloodline and someone who defy's me, in the world such actions are an instant death sentence! And so…enjoy your child's last moment! Killer Queen…it's time for another one to bite the dust!"

Jotaro yelled at the top of his lungs to break free, but Dio held him down as he used one of his acquired Stand's powers to turn Stone Free into a bomb, before kicking the Stand at his other enemies. The Stand exploded moments later, and due to the link between person and Stand Jotaro watched Jolyne scream for him before she exploded.

Jotaro let fury consume him as he cursed Dio out and tried to break out to rip Dio apart, but despite his rage his daughter's killer held him down." Rage all you want, in the end you're just a mere mortal, and no matter how angry a mortal gets he cannot stop the will of a god!"

"I'm going to kill you Dio, nothing you do is going to stop that! You're the same as me, you were a flesh and blood human and you can die just like all the others!"

"That was then Jotaro…you fail to realize how far I evolved! Bah…your too much a dullard to ever see reason I'll just blow you up and make Joseph be the last!"

"You're the one who has failed to see you're not as transcended as you think Dio, but if it's the last thing I do I'm going to drag you down to earth!"

"You failing to do so will be the last thing you, huh?"

Dio was cut off as he saw Star Platinum suddenly glow with light. He was about to move when suddenly he felt a force smash his nose in. As he crashed to the ground he was shocked to see that Jotaro was back on his feet, and that Estelle was healing Jotaro.

Dio quickly looked around before blurting out,"What farce is this? That was, almost like, time froze! No…even after this Star Platinum still can mimic the powers of the World, even after it became The World Over Heaven!? No…you're a mere mortal, you can't mimic the power I now weld!"

"Want to bet on that Dio?" Jotaro angrily stated as he cracked his knuckles." No matter how many relics you devoured your still just a human leeching off that power. Since you got your Stand from those powers, then it seems that my Stand gets that power to! I don't know the details but I'm not going to argue with it now, I'll take anything that helps me kill you for good!"

"Damn it...you won't advert destiny merely by oversight Jotaro! You may have a link to some of my power, but it's impossible for you to be able to use that power as well as me! And I won't let you get a chance, I'll devour your soul to correct this glitch, and add it to the collection!"

Dio charged at Jotaro and had his hands grasp Jotaro by the throat in less than a blur as he pushed the Joestar hard enough to slam him into the wall. As the vampire's Vollständig shined with light Dio pressed Jotaro harder and harder, and had all of his Stand's grasp Jotaro by his limbs to try and squeeze the life out of him." Yes…yes…I think the perfect irony would be your very Stand killing off the rest of your bloodline! No matter how stubborn fools like you are, I'll make every soul in existence bow to my superior power!"

Link fired a few light arrows at Dio, only for the vampire to vaporize them with another eye laser blast. Link just jumped over the projectile and tried to stab Dio in the heart with the Master Sword, and while Dio had C-Moon try and repel the strike, Rita and Aqua combined their magic to push Link forward enough to have the blade of evil's bane strike Dio in his left arm near where the Tri-Force mark on his hand glowed.

As Dio snarled at him Link just looked determined."Dio…I have know you only a short while but I seen your kind, and seen them be undone by their greed time and again. Just like Ganondorf, because you got your hands-on power you think you are power. But you're not power personified Dio, you're just a crafty over ambitious theft! The harder you attempt hold on to power, the faster you lose it! And make no mistake, you cannot grasp on for long, my blade will cut it off!"

Dio sneered and had King Crimson grasp the master sword with one hand while grasping Link's hand with the other. "Bold words, but you may be the hero of your lands, but you're dealing with far bigger fish now! I obtained the power that allows me to, huh?"

Dio was shocked as he saw the image of the Tri-Force glow on Link's hand, before his own mark glowed in identical fashion. Dio's eyes widened as beams of energy interlinked between the two, before Link put out a confident," I know more than you think vampire, especially about the Tri-Force!

You may have absorbed it but, I know from experience even a fractured phantom of Ganondorf does not like being treated like a puppet, and that the Tri-Force will go to its proper master when given the chance. Granted… this is the first time I dealt with two Tri-Forces but, I know you are not its rightful master."

"Bold words boy, and foolish. I'm far more powerful then you, if you have something that's like my power, I'll just take it!"

Before Dio could go on Cia suddenly shot a beam of purple light at Dio, causing the Tri-Force to suddenly rise out of Dio's hand and gravitate to the true one in Link's body.

As Dio's entire aura started to become unstable he saw Cia looking defiantly at him."He might not have been able to do it alone, but he can do it with my help! It was my original purpose to be the overseer of the Tri-Force, despite all of your power I still can bypass it to direct it to Link's!"

Dio had lighting crackle around his body as he resisted Cia's spell." Cia…think very carefully about how foolish your being. You would throw away having your own personal heaven, merely to be subservient to the man who clearly does not return your feelings? You could make him feel the way you want, if you help me recreate the world!"

Cia just looked defiant before she snapped back with,"But if I do this, I'll have earned the real hero's respect! That's worth more than a fake!"

"How sad that you're so misguided Cia, clearly death is the way to liberate you from your insanity!"

Dio had lighting strike Cia, but the former aid to Hilda persisted and kept using her spell to pull the Tri-Force from Dio's body. Link saw the energy start to head into his own before he grinned."Keep it up Cia! As I suspected, since I have the true Tri-Force…this f…this one from Lorule is being drawn to its counterpart from Hyrule. Keep it up and we will cut him off from his power!"

"It does not matter which is the "original" I'll rewrite it to how things should be! Yes…I'll."

Dio suddenly felt a surge of power and with King Crimson's sensory ability he saw Doug was coming at him from above. While he blocked the incoming kick with The World Over Heaven. Doug had the Kaio-Ken blaze out once more to unleash an assault so intense that despite being able to see where Doug would be, he still had to move as fast as he could to keep up.

As Doug kept up the assault he growled out,"Still going to think you're a god when you choke Dio? Diss the common man all you want, your kin's the legit weak ones who can't accept things going your way and are so bratty about it that you try and throw genocidal temper tantrums to smash things into what you want!

No matter how many magic toys you steal you can't force everyone to play to your tune Dio, so you either accept it or be a pain in the ass! And since you been one hell of a pain, you're getting one hell of a pounding, till every last ounce of stubbornness is thrashed out of yah! If Ben can go that far…I sure as hell can! Kaio Ken…times ten! Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku!"

Doug pushed the Kai sage art enhancement magic as hard as he could to enhance his speed and power enough to overwhelm Dio. His blood-sucking target tried to repel Doug but was overwhelmed, and kicked rapidly in the gut enough for him to cough out blood.

This distracted him enough for Cia to be able to succeed in her spell, and pulled the inverted Tri-Force out of Dio.

As it went into the original Tri-Force the sudden rapid loss of energy caused Dio's entire body to convulse. His grasp on Jotaro weakened as a result, causing him to have Star Platinum to syphon more energy from Dio as well, causing Dio's hands to explode, and turn black.

As Dio saw this Jotaro gave the man who killed his child a damming look."What…things not working out according to your grand plan Dio? Seems like your grand truth is nothing but a fake! Well that's too damn bad because you really pissed me off! I don't care how immortal you are, I'm going to have you beg for death before this is done!"

Jotaro had Star Platinum do his own Time Freeze, and grasped Doug as he did. As Dio was frozen the two pummeled Dio with all their might. Jotaro's power to freeze time was much more limited then Dio's, but the two men were able to punch every part of Dio's body before time resumed.

Dio had cracking sounds burst out all over his body before he was smashed through the ground. As he coughed up blood Doug just cracked his neck."You want to die like a man Dio or like a punk? Better think of your words carefully because after you speak them they are going to be your last! Your trump card turned out to be a joker pick, so like it or not you're going to fold!"

Dio saw the pillar of souls had still been going up to the sky before he laughed deliriously."You think, Dio Brando will ever cede victory to scum like you?

You will pay…for mocking me! You all may have pushed me this far but your still only mortals! You think like humans who have such little time to live, about things like food leaving a bad taste in your mouth, or living your life with "no" regrets. Such reasoning is as dull as cow dung, and will be the bane of your existence! I, Dio, have no such thoughts! Within my mind is one simple thought, just one! To be victorious and rule! That's all! That's all I need to be at peace of mind! How I do it…does not matter, even if it means begging for help!

You keep making this more difficult for yourselves, but in the end I was the one chosen by the all mighty Rabum Alal to be one of his champions, his divergent catalysts! The Vollständig he gave me is proof of this! If you cheated my power away, since I'm now like the Black Swans part of his chosen ones, one of his Dimensional Generals, one of his champions, I'll ask him to correct this oversight! Yes, grant me the power to make things how they should be!"

Doug and the others thought that Dio was just getting delirious, but just as Doug prepared to finish Dio off, to his dread, the Beyonder did seem to respond, as the sky opened up, and a massive golden energy beam descended right for Dio. Doug saw Dio look elated before he cursed out," No…you're not getting bailed out asshole!"

"Of course I will, destiny will not be stopped! The World!"

Dio unleashed all the energy he had to have his personal Stand freeze time again, aside from the energy pillar heading down before he looked at the Beyonder's act with delight."Yes…at last, my destiny, my truth will be, huh?"

To the vampire's horror Doug managed to once more grasp on to him before time froze. Dio saw that Aqua, Jotaro, Axel, Link, Yuri, Mario and a few others were behind the Enji but Doug was the only one that made it before he snarled in rage, causing Doug to just laugh."Despite all your tricks you have a lame poker face dude, I could see your play a mile away! Even if you freeze time you're not pulling this off! Losing your toys weakened you, long as you don't get this booster shot you're done!"

"You can't hide your weakness either Fitter! You're just a mortal, I can tell you pushed yourself past your limit! Your feint won't change a thing, I will remake reality to put myself where I belong!"

"Tsc…even if you win you will never make things how you think they should be! Among everything else, that's the biggest difference between you and me Dio! For all your boasting your just an idiot who wants everyone to bow to you, I don't give a damn what the hive mind tools think of me! I don't do anything anymore for anyone, but myself! I did my dues…and am not putting up with the cons any longer!

You may have been around longer then me but you're the one who refuses to see how people are! I don't need those fancy Sharingan, Rinnegan, or whatever Ezan calls his eyes at the moment to see the truth…I know that there is no real true truth, it's just what a man cons others around him to think is true! I just want to be free of all that, and do what makes me content, and I'll fight an entire god damn universe to at last get that peace!"

"You call me a fool but the only way to get that peace in the world is to be gone from it entirely! Since your so stubborn about it I'll grant your wish, I have enough power to kill an idiot like you! Killer Queen!"

Doug just snarled and tried to punch Dio in the face, only for The World to block the blow. The blond-haired man tried to roundhouse kick Dio only for the vampire to catch the kick with his own right hand. Killer Queen then finished appearing and gasped Doug's right hand, before the Stand instantly glowed.

Dio laughed madly as he saw Doug tense up."Your last moments will be seeing me triumph as you fall to pieces, you should have known your place! It's no use, a mortal like you could never have handled the ultimate power anyway!"

Doug had his eye twitch, and as he saw Killer Queen start to pump his energy into his body he turned beat red."That's for me to decide, no one else! Blade of Might!"

Doug shocked Dio by using his own arm blade move to cut off the hand that was infected with Killer Queen's power. As his hand exploded in Dio's face Doug focused everything to sheer willpower as he saw the Beyonder's energy beam come for him, and thrusted his severed arm right into it.

As the energy surged into him Dio screamed out,"No, that's mine! I have the Vollständig proving that the most worthy of all was me!"

"To damn bad you bastard! It's a joke to think anyone has any right to anything other than who gets it first! Finders keepers Dio…anything that will help me get out of this…anything that will help me get on top…I'll take it!"

The two struggled for a bit more, till suddenly two massive golden eyes opened up in the parts of the sky in front of the pillar. From those eyes a voice boomed out," Your thirst for victory amuses me Doug Fitter, it amuses me enough to attract my curiosity. Even after having your thoughts and memories be an open book your true desire is still not clear. Before this ends, one way or another I want my confusion to cease.

I was wronged before mortality existed, but I seen the history of you humans, it's clear your kind has been chasing progress, however unstable, since the moment you existed.

Arcana is the nature of the soul, the moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope for change. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed... This cycle, this endless climb for perfection has persisted since human "history" has begun.

Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end. It matters not who you are... Death awaits you. Yet humans, if not most mortals strive to reach a "spot". Yet you, out of everyone in Battle-World you are obsessed more than any other with the concept of true freedom. You don't just want freedom from bondage or oppression like others here, you want freedom from the rules of the world, from the shackles of society. I want to know…why you cherish freedom more than love, wealth, or power. Think carefully Doug Fitter, your fate depends on the answer."

Doug paused for a moment, realized that the voice was indeed the same voice he heard before he and the other's ships were forced into the planets, and saw Dio looked confused and tense so it did not seem like a stunt he was pulling.

He then closed his eyes, before forming a wild grin."You that curious and not just pulling my leg? Guess a god would not know what the common man yearns for eh? It's not that complex dude, I just want to keep things simple. Things like true love and riches are just a joke, no matter how hard you hold on to them they fade in time. Everyone keeps planning and scheming but plans roll apart so easily its a joke.

Some people want to leave their mark on the world. Gouken never would shut up about my responsibility to succeed him, Ben, Myers, James, are all obsessed about leaving their mark on the cosmos, their legacy and all that crap, and even Aqua won't shut up about playing nice to keep up a "good reputation", just to keep the elites happy. Piff...like that really matters in the end if you don't roll over for them.

All that petty stuff, it's all a god damn joke! Don't matter what people think of you, it all becomes nothing. Nothing ever really changes, for all their special skills even all those pompous angels and Kais...and all the other" celestial ones" that watch things from afar won't admit just how things really are.

Cosmos and Zannacross are just the same when it comes down to it. Call it "blasphemy" all you want but in the end the light just goes for the soft sell.

But in the end both the light and the dark want change, and nothing's going to really change, not at that level! Utopia's and paradises are just jokes to laugh at, anything that attempts to comes close to "harmony" is just being not being alive in the first place, not really! All the drama keeps coming from everyone moaning about how things are and pushing to "evolve" into a perfect state that will never happen.

Ben keeps pushing to force things to be like his dream, not caring he's making himself a hypocrite and being just like the dudes we fought to take down in the first place! All life is, is a bumpy road where you try and get what real pleasures before it ends!

Idiots and punks in love with their ego keep trying to suck you in to their cons so you need to be strong enough to not be forced into their crap! I want to be able to do things my way, even if no one else agrees with it! The freedom to not be bound by anyone else's expectations, needs, and god damn hypocritical judgments, even that of Cosmos herself, that's what I want!"

The Beyonder did not respond for a moment, but even Dio hesitated to interrupt him. For a moment Doug thought he was about to be vaporized, but as he braced himself for death the Beyonder laughed hard enough to shake the entire planet that was frozen in time. "I can see your thoughts Doug Fitter…I can see even in death you stick to your reason. You want to reject the world that Cosmos and Zannacross forged, despite our vast differences I can relate to that. For among everything else, I hate the hypocrisy both of my" Parents" have for reality. Despite being the founders of their existence, all of their wisdom and they still are blind to the reality of existence, the rules of nature, the natural state, the only real state to things!

Only those who see reality see anything at all. But still, you do realize that going down this path will put you at odds with your closest friends yes?"

"Tsc…if my friends don't understand what I hold dear guess the friendship was a sham eh? Like I said, love and friendship is out of a man's hands, only his beliefs, his pride is what he can hold on to! I don't go picking fights, but no one's going to just "domesticate" me, to get me to roll over because they want to have their ego's stroked, not even my "bros". "

"And yet...as long as the existence Cosmos and Zannacross created remains as it is you will be forced into the desires of others."

"Maybe, but that's life. I'd rather take what I can get then cause drama over a sham."

"Hahahaha… that's what you told yourself your entire life, is it not Doug Fitter? I don't blame you, Cosmos and her pawns, including your so-called friend Ben Auro have made you think that's the best you can get out of life. You repress your deepest desire to the depths of your subconscious.

Below even that...in the lowest level of the unconscious domain...in what is called by most your Unus Mundus, because you fear it's impossible, because you fear you will be punished and given the fate of a sinner, because you will lose.

But what if your deepest wish could come true? What if you could make your purist desire a reality and be free of the consequences? I understand you have doubts Doug Fitter, you've spent your entire life conditioned to think your true desire is I am from beyond the rules of your entire reality, nothing you dream of is impossible for me to accomplish!

Yes...since I am merciful I will assist you in making your dream reality, for I share that dream! Yes, I'm curious to see what happens when someone has the means to at last shatter the shakes that bound them, even if it meant shattering the entire structure of the universe?

I'm curious to see what comes from that, to see what a person will do when he has the chance to grasp his desire when free from any consequence. Thus, I will give you the means to grasp your truth! I'm not as "rigid" as my father, as Zannacross was! You amuse me, that's all the worth you need to have!

Doug Fitter…you have proven worthy to be given part of me, precisely…your curious enough to me for me to distribute my power, my very hunger, to you! Rejoice…you are now the chosen of the true supreme god beyond all others!"

Doug was shocked as the pillar of light expanded…before the Vollständig on Dio flickered, before the energy dissolved and started to head for Doug. This caused the vampire to roar with outrage."No…you have no right to that, that's my destiny!"

Suddenly the sky above turned red before the Beyonder's eyes faded. A red mass of energy shaped like a vicious human skull came in its place before a new, courser voice boomed out,"Shut it loser! You had your chance, so stop your moaning and let the real men take what's there's!"

Doug saw the red skull fly for him with a wild grin on its face before he blurted out,"The hell is this? Why do you..."

"Hahaha…don't wuss out now Fitter…embrace who you really are already! You feel better having someone talk down to your level and keeping it real right dog? You wanted the power, right? So you're getting it, the hunger of the strongest being there is! Time to make all posers see who the true winners are, ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

What seemed to be a fragment of the Beyonder's soul merged with the Auswählen pillar of light, and to Dio's horror the beam he thought would be his salvation turned out to be his damnation as the Vollständig, the fragment of the Beyonder he gave to Dio, forced itself into Doug's mouth.

The member of team seven screamed as his body was overwhelmed with a force he never felt before. The surge of power was so great that it caused the entire planet to shake, and soon shattered the effect of The World. As time at last resumed Aqua watched in horror as Doug's entire body was glowing purple, causing her to instinctively scream out,"Doug no!"

She and everyone else was blinded, and Doug's friend watched in a mix of shock and dread as the light faded, and she saw Doug was hunched over. His entire body twitched for a moment, before his body glowed with light. Moments later his previously severed limb reformed, though now there was a black cross like mark that was etched on his hand.

Doug twitched for a few moments, before he looked right at Dio, and grinned as wide as he could. As he did his aura exploded, and his hair suddenly transformed from blond to a mixture of red and magenta, along with his eyes. Raw energy coursed through him, and part of it burned Doug's beard away, though it almost seemed as that was Doug's idea as he grinned at the change.

His aura then exploded, and also changed to a brighter red, and while Aqua and everyone else around him would not realize it the aura was that Goku would have during his basic Super Saiyan God state.

Yuri saw Doug looking more confidant then he's been since the start of Battle-World, as the broken infinity symbol Dio had appeared on Doug's head before he braced himself."Dude…what the hell happened?"

Dio suddenly yelled out in pain, with the departure of the Beyonder's power his entire body started to convulse and fragments of energy burst out of his body. To his friends shock, the sight just caused Doug to chuckle." Ease up Yuri, Dio tried to pull a fast one with his fancy time freeze trick, but it back fired big time. Long story short, I hijacked his power, the power the Beyonder decided that I was worthier of it!"

Axel cringed before he approached Doug carefully."Doug…do you realize what you just did?"

"Hell yah Axel, I'm winning!"

Dio used all of his power to stand back up, before seething out,"NO, this must be a trick, a final attempt to unnerve my resolve. Someone like you could never, GUH!"

Doug suddenly batted Dio with his right hand, a move that while seemed casual packed enough power to slice his opponent's right arm off. As Dio screamed Doug just leaned forward,"Guess someone like me can and just did eh? If you were half the man you said you were you could at least die with some pride! But guess that's just what you are deep down inside eh? This is reality Dio, for all your scheming you're just a whiny little bitch!"

Dio screamed with rage and tried to have The World attack, only for Doug to punch Dio so fast he did not even see it. Doug landed a blow that shattered Dio's Stand, and his legs, and launched him hard enough to send him flying across the entire world in a few seconds, before Doug casually hit Dio as he appeared on the other side and jabbed him in the legs with his fingers, breaking them in the process.

As the vampire bounced a few times across the ground and landed near Jotaro, Doug saw the Joestar look shocked before he chuckled."I'm still getting use to this new power, but I'm sure as hell not sorry! I don't have one ounce of pity for a man who can't man up to reality! What you waiting for Jotaro? You wanted to settle the score and avenge your friends and kid and all that right? Waiting for the right lighting or something!? A man's due his revenge but you got to act and take it dude!"

Jotaro saw Dio was so badly wounded that his entire body was convulsing before he just cracked his knuckles."I have a few answers but, the thing that's clear without a doubt is that you pissed me off way too much Dio. In the end, your truth was nothing but a fake!"

"Your wrong you filthy Joestar, your wrong!"Dio shouted out frantically."No matter what, I'll put you in your place!"

Dio then had his wounded right leg squirt out blood to get in Jotaro's eye. As his target winced Dio jumped up with his other leg, madly trying to attempt to bite Jotaro to turn him into a vampire. But despite being blinded, Jotaro's fighting instincts held true. Thus, just as Dio was within range Jotaro had Star Platinum burst out and barrage Dio with punches, yelling out,"This is your place Dio! Die like the dog you are, Ora forever!"

Jotaro had his Stand glow, infusing energy into Star Platinum's fists, shattering more and more of the vampire's body with each punch. Dio was too weak to resist and merely felt more and more of himself get smashed before he yelled out a fanatical,"No…I am Dio, I AM Dio!"

Jotaro suddenly uppercut Dio into the air, and as he went flying Dio saw Doug waiting for him, just in time to see the man who stole his power form a wild grin."To damn bad, because all Dio is now is a has been loser! Shinryuu Ken!"

Doug wound up his fist and punched Dio through the chest. The now red-haired man punched Dio so fast that his aura surge through Dio's body, causing the vampire who had been the bane of the Joestar's to have energy ripple through his body.

Dio felt every cell he had start to rupture, causing him to yell out one last pained,"Gubaaahhh!" before his body exploded. As Dio's fragments quickly vaporized Jotaro looked around carefully before he winced."Well I'll be…it's for real this time. At last, Dio's dead."

Joseph took a deep breath before he glanced at his comrades."Grandfather Jonathan, wherever you are I hope you can rest easily knowing your body is no longer a puppet for evil.

Aqua winced as she saw Doug slowly float to the ground, looking at his own aura with glee before she felt a chill go down her spine."We won…but at what cost?"

Joseph nodded as he looked around."Well, I'd be keen on celebrating this instant, but knowing how crazy things are around here there could be some other punks wanting to be the top dog around here. Better…"

Doug suddenly cut the elder Joestar off with a curt laugh before he looked up with absolute confidence."Theirs no one else dude, trust me this entire world, including the boss man knows who the top dog is! AT least around here, this match is decided!"

Yuri was about to say something when suddenly the entire planet started shaking. While it was still night out before, the Beyonder used his power to make the planet shift instantly to face his sun like lair before like with Ben after he and the other defeated Super boy Prime, the first son of Cosmos and Zannacross boomed out,"

THE NEXT PHASE OF BATTLE WORLD HAS BEEN DECIDED! THOSE WHO REMAIN HAVE ENTERTAINED ME WELL! NOW PREPARE FOR THE FINAL PHASE! PREPARE TO PROVE WHO IS THE MOST WORTHY OF THEM ALL!"

Everyone besides Doug got on guard as a pathway of pure light seemed to descend from the sun itself, and land directly in front of them. Doug just powered down before he flashed a half-lopped smile."Still doubting the main man guys? Without a doubt, we saw who the true champ was, so let's hurry up to end this joke!"

Yoshi eyed Doug carefully before he gulped." Yoshi knows we won this fight Doug but you really want to go to the next one so soon? Yoshi confused, Doug looks different."

Doug paused, and just chuckled."I know a lot happened dino man but don't think to hard about it. I just am feeling something I sadly have not really felt in years, like a winner! Can't deny this new power is giving me a hell of a good buzz to. Is this how Ben, Lacus, and Ezan feel? This what it means to be special, to be the chosen one? Got to admit it feels damn good, no wonder they try so hard to hog it."

Axel saw Doug's eyes were still red before he slowly walked up to his teammate."Glad your gut got us out of a jam dude, but you really think it's a good idea to have part of our number one target's power in your body? I mean, not sure this gift's going to go all Trojan horse on us?"

"What's with trying to be a buzz kill dude? What…you jacked up your body to be special with all that forbidden magic stuff you did with Xemnas and his boys, think I can't handle a little divine energy?"

"Now's not the time to mess around Doug that was not the same and you know it! Sounds like you got part of this Beyonder's power, his essence is inside you!"

Jude and Leia also walked up before Jude added,"You remember just how dangerous our enemy is Doug? What if he tries to do to you what he did to Luger, Julius, and the others?"

"Piff…you really think we can half-ass this dude?" Doug retorted flippantly." Look…the Beyonder's not throwing a curve ball here, he wants to see who's going to be the champ, right? If I'm the winner, he would not whisk away the chance to see who would come out on top right? Sure, it's risky but, with the stakes as high as they are we can't afford to play it safe right? Maybe having part of his power will give us an edge when its crunch time eh?"

Aqua saw everyone around her displaying various levels of uncertainty before she walked right up to Doug and looked firmly at him." Doug…are you sure you're alright? Even if it's not painful you don't feel anything unusual at all? The Beyonder's, just going to let you keep part of his energy even if you're not one of his chosen ones?"

"Man girl, that shocking that I'm the one who managed to come out on top? It's clear this Beyonder dude just cares about who's the best of the best. C'mon…I know I've not been on my A game last few days but I'm "woke" now girl, everything I went through today made me see things clearly. That's why, we got to move forward no matter what they throw at us right? I know we have to deal with a ton of things but, none of that matters if we don't have time to get to that right?"

Aqua saw Doug's eyes were clear before after a few seconds she smiled softly."Guess what's most important is being able to keep having a future. Well, you do seem out of the funk you been in. Just keep focused so we can end this, huh?"

Doug's eyes and right shoulder suddenly twitched and the sight caused Aqua to get alarmed. However Doug saw Aqua's shock and just snickered before he punched his own arm to make the twitching stop." Don't worry…not stroking out, this bodies just getting use to the new power eh? Not going to deny it's a whole new level of power, but just going to man up to handle it to get the job done."

"Don't get to reckless Doug, we went into this to save what's important to us so don't lose focus ok?"

"No worries their…I know what I need to focus on without a doubt. Cool beans, let's get a move on! I don't know about you all but don't seem right to keep the other finalists waiting eh?"

Doug saw many from Ravio, to Josuke, to a uneasy Cia, to Luigi, to Judith looking at him with uncertainty before he chuckled and walked up the stairs of. As he did Groot saw Doug march on before he shrugged."I am, Groot?"

Rocket just shrugged before he looked around,"Nah it's not you Groot, I don't get it either. Well, guess we survived this so, far right? Still, the dude not going to go back to the ship? When we started he said he cared about it like it was his own damn kid, now he's acting like it's not going to matter? Whatever, my souvenirs are still their so let's make sure it did not blow up!"

As Rocket and his humanoid tree companion went back Mario glanced at Link."What you a think Link? Ben said something horrible may have happened to Doug…you think this is what he was a talking about?"

Link eyed Doug carefully before whispering back,"Nay Mario, this does not match the description Ben told us. Still…with all the powers this Beyonder clearly has, be ready for anything my friend."

As the two members of the Justice Force nodded Doug just glanced back at Aqua, before his eye twitched again. He then narrowed his eyes and walked quickly up the stairs."Oh, I have my focus all right Aqua, but to be blunt the prize my eyes are on is not what you want! Too bad, a man keeps his word, and I'm going to do what I have to, no matter who's against it! Benny boy…high time your joke of a dream, and the sham world your building ends once and for all!

It was never going to come true no matter how hard you wished it, and I'm tired of you, James, and everyone else beating this dead horse! That's right…don't matter if all the darkness was purged, humans and all the others are just folk who want to be the top dog and lie about it to con themselves into thinking they are more decent then what they are. I see things clearly now, light and darkness, good and evil, hero's and villains, are just the two sides of the same rotten coin!

Both parties force someone to be rigid when people are fluid, so I'm going to throw out the whole damn system and be free of their damn labels! Pa…I see why you did what you did now. You were an asshole, but you had little say in the matter because every day decent honest folk like us are just used as "game pieces" by the" liberal elites" in their game of ideals! But in the end no matter how great the plan is, everything dies in the end, every single plan turns back to how its naturally suppose to be sooner or later.

I'm not going to be part of their never-ending games anymore! I'm going to force everyone in the entire universe to see that what it means to live is a miserable cycle of pain, and that anything else is just a pathetic joke!

My whole life I was told I had to compromise to be part of society, but with the power of the Beyonder, we, no, I won't have to compromise to anyone's will, even Cosmos and all of heaven! That's right, I'll be free to live my way, to have true freedom! Yes…the world of true freedom, of absolute independence! Free of all those lies like love and bonds, the reason of Musubi!

Maybe Cosmos made it so that humans had to have weak-ass bonds to live for now, but I'll remake existence itself, to one based on solitude and isolation. The self is absolute, and every living being would live in an independent world, totally separate from all other living beings.

The individual will use their mind to shape their world at will into their own personal paradise, without consequences or unwelcome interference by lame dreamers and weaklings who can't handle the truth! Thinking just means pain, in the end its best if we can live without having to think, without having to be dragged down by all those emotions! Maybe we needed those things to live in the current world, but they won't be needed in my new world!

I don't care if every one else in existence thinks I'm wrong, I'm going to fight for my ideals, no matter what it takes!

At last, things will be how they should be, and I'll take out every self–righteous clown who tries and keep the natural order from being restored, even if I have to kill every so-called warrior of light and angel in existence to do it!

That's right, this is your fault in the end Ben, this is your fault for pushing this lie so hard that you made most people in the universe think it was legit! You even conned me a little, but now I see things clearly! That's why it's your own fault you're going to suffer when the world of lies you been trying to build's going to crash and burn bro! That's right, and everyone who had faith in you's going to suffer for not seeing what the truth is.

Even if it means taking out everything that alive, immortal and all that's in between, all take out everything in my way till there is nothing left! That's right, no one left to judge me, to look down on me! And when I remake reality to how it should be, I'll remake myself to make sure at last the guilt, the shame, the remorse, all of it will be gone from me! At last, I'll have true freedom, from everything, at last real true freedom will be mine! So, get ready bro's, its high time this broken hypocritical joke universe gets its final punchline!"

Authors Notes: Firstly, for those confused the state Dio took, the Over heaven Dio was from the recent Joestar crossover game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven , in which a Dio from another reality that defeated Jotaro tried to rewrite reality, thus a excuse to have fighters from every Jojo arc be in. It, felt fitting to use a adaptation of that for this.

Next up, if your confused about the Auswählen process, well, in Bleach the final boss of the series, Yhwach, used the power to redistribute the energy he gave to his elite Quincy to, more or less" take from the losers" to give to the winners. In reality this was just a way to keep cutting short most of the last fights in the series and make half of the final arc a lot of set ups that went no where but, even so, it felt like something that could fit here.

I know there might be, more then a few more questions about what happened with that but for now I will say hopefully everything will be explained in time, and just hope that the outcome of today's chapter entices most to keep reading.

Well, hope you liked Doug's arc, next one up is James in among other things, the battle to determined who is the true successor to Luke Skywalker. Hopefully see you all their.
