Dio's World, Part 3

"MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA!"

"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!"

With the powerful blows from both The World and Star Platinum were trading, they slowly were being lifted up in the air. They continuously punched one after another, until they were above the rooftops.

Dio smirked and The World slipped through Star Platinum's defense and landed a punch on the purple-warrior's cheek. Jotato grunted and blood spurted from his cheek.

Dio chuckled, his hands on his hips. "Clearly The World's power and precision are superior! I think I have seen enough now, time to end this!"

"AUUGGHHH!" Jotaro screamed.

"The time has come for me to finally eradicate what little remains of the Joestar bloodline!" Dio said. "I will end you with The World's true power!"

He spread his arms out, "THE WORLD!" Stopping time around him.

Jotaro was frozen mid-air along with Star Platinum that was throwing punches the moment time had stopped.

Dio smirked with satisfaction and approached the high-schooler. "At last, the Joestar bloodline will finally cease to exist." He raised his hand. "To my greatest of enemies who dared interfere with my destiny… I bid you farewell!"

As soon as Dio swung his arm down to slice Jotaro's neck, Jotaro's right finger suddenly twitched. Dio instantly stopped midway and a startled gasp escaped from his mouth. His eyes widened and his blood turned cold.

He stared at Jotaro's hand, making sure that he wasn't going crazy.

It twitched again.

Dio backed away from the teen, "What?! He just moved!" He cried out. "He…! I-Impossible." He furrowed his brows. "How is he moving?!" He then recalled Jotaro's words from earlier. "N-No way… I-It can't be! They're… the same?!"

"The World and Star Platinum are the same type of Stand?!"

Dio stared at Jotaro in disbelief. He let that statement from earlier slide and didn't think much of it until now. How did Jotaro manage to move in his stop time?

"This brat… Can he see me?" Dio wondered, looking into the aquamarine eyes that glared back at him. "Or did his hand just move subconsciously?" He then tsk in annoyance since his time was running out. He moved behind the delinquent and time resumed.

Star Platinum continued throwing punches but stopped when Jotaro noticed Dio had moved. He turned around to face him.

"Were you able to see me just now?" Dio asked.

Jotaro simply stared at him with no answer.

"I asked if you were able to see me, Jotaro!" Dio demanded.

"Who's to say?" Jotaro said, "I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, Dio."

A golden aura glowed around Jotaro, similar to Dio's. He then flies away, using Star Platinum to propel himself from the buildings. Dio frowned and chased after him.

"Very well then! It matters not!" Dio shouted. "It doesn't make a difference whether you can see me or not while time is stopped! If you possess the power to move while time is stopped as I can with The World, then show me!"

Dio then began to recall a memory from six months ago when he was able to stop time for the first time. He was with Enyaba and Nimrod in his room. Enyaba was teaching him to time stop and Dio requested one of his servants to shoot him to test out The World's speed and power.

As Dio was about to catch the pellets, in an instant, it appeared as though everything had stopped moving. His first immediate thought was that it was an illusion. Whether you're a trained boxer during a fight, or someone faced with a harrowing situation, you will experience each moment during that time as if it were several seconds; that's what Dio assumed the case was.

However, his Stand, The World, was still able to maneuver around the suspended bullets, allowing him to easily avoid it. Not only that, The World was even able to grab the bullets, making Dio realize that this was no illusion.

"Lord Dio! I am certain you will master this ability to control time! You must truly believe in your ability to stop time! It must come as naturally as breathing. Or as simply as snapping a pencil in half with your fingers. You must reach the point where it becomes completely natural. Recognizing this fact is important! This power of yours must become completely natural to you! You are the true emperor of this world, after all!"

Dio remembered those words Enyaba had told him that day. Then suddenly one day, he felt the wheels of time and The World engage one another. He felt as though a beautiful light had finally pierced the darkness. He never had experienced such a magnificent feeling.

"I, the mighty Dio, had truly surpassed every Stand and life form that ever existed! Although I can only stop time for a mere five seconds, my power will continue to grow stronger!" Dio bragged, continuing to chase Jotaro. "Jotaro! Show me how powerful you truly are! THE WORLD!"

Time froze once again. Instead of attacking the Joestar, Dio carefully approached and observed him to see how long the delinquent could move within stopped time. As he got close, Jotaro's hand twitched again. He let out a sigh and reached his hand out to him, seeing Jotaro's hand twitch again.

He then started laughing when he realized the high-schooler's trick. Looking under his golden bracelet, he found a small black magnet. He moved the magnet close to Jotaro and it attached to another magnet that was on the sleeve of the student's jacket.

"You must've done this while we were testing out our powers earlier." Dio said, "They must have come from a wallet or a pocket planner."

He scoffed, "You managed to deceive me…" He slowly ascended in the air. "I can't take my eyes off you for a second. However!" He made a big U-Turn in the air and began rushing straight towards Jotaro.

"Having to rely on such simple tricks proves to me that you are incapable of moving while time is stopped!" Dio shouted, "All you have done is add mere seconds to what is left of your pathetic short existence! This ends now! Die, Jotaro!"

The World manifested to kill the young Joestar but at that exact moment, Jotaro's hand moved within the time stop much to the vampire's shock. The purple warrior-like Stand, Star Platinum, manifested and punched through The World's gut. The wound also appeared on Dio.

"WHAT?!" Dio screeched.

Jotaro froze again after inflicting the injury on Dio.

"H-He… really… can move! Only for an instant, but he can!" Dio groaned. "The magnets weren't to trick me into thinking he could move… It was to trick me into thinking that he couldn't so he could lure me closer! Of all things… This descendant of the Joestars has invaded my world of stopped time!"

Time resumed and Star Platinum knocked Dio straight to the ground and crashed into the window of a store. The broken glass chopped the vampire's leg off below the knee.

The cashier let out a terrifying scream from the horror she witnessed.

Jotaro grabbed onto a bookstore sign, panting and starting to sweat. "I was able to move but only for a moment there… Just a moment" He panted. "But… gimme a damn break… I was only enough to get one punch in."

Inside the store, Dio laid flat on his back and forced himself to sit up despite having a huge hole on his gut and a severed leg.

"You. Woman." Dio called out the petrified woman behind the register. "Fetch my leg over there."

Instead of doing what he commanded, the frightened woman let out a panicked cry.

"Do as I say, dammit!" Dio yelled at the saleswoman. "Act as if you are a flight attendant, bringing caviar and a drink to a first-class passenger!"

Jotaro jumped down to the street in front of the store. He glanced at the broken window and found Dio standing back on his feet inside. His wounds were healed from killing the saleswoman by sucking out her blood with his fingers.

"Guess if I don't aim for your head, my attacks won't do shit to you." Jotaro commented and narrowed his eyes. "You already regained your strength."

"Hmph!" Dio tossed the woman to the side like garbage and walked a few steps before disappearing in a blink of an eye. He appeared behind Jotaro, standing on top of a traffic sign.

"Your eyes followed me in the world of stopped time." Dio pointed out. "Which means you can see every move I, the mighty Dio, attempt to make, Jotaro."

Jotaro fully turned around to face the vampire, "It seems so…"

"Your girlfriend gave you quite an advantage." Dio said. "Since she figured out the secret of The World's power, it allowed you to figure out that you could move while time is stopped, thus invading my world. I suppose her death was worth the sacrifice for you Joestars."

Dio mentioning Noriko's death provoked Jotaro a little bit. Before he and Polnareff split, he asked Polnareff to look for Noriko. Despite telling himself to focus on beating Dio, he couldn't brush his worries away about her. He still doesn't know what happened to her but if what Dio said is true, he'll make sure that bastard will never see another light of day.

The vampire disappeared again. Jotaro's eyes followed him and Dio now stood on top of a rooftop of a building.

"However, I'm quite intrigued…" Dio said, sounding amused. "How long are you capable of moving within my stopped time? Two seconds? Three seconds? Or perhaps you can move for five seconds and you're pretending that you cannot." He let out a dark chuckle, "Well? How about it?"

"This is bad…" Jotaro thought. "I could move longer with some practice, but for now, I can only move for a moment."

"From what I've seen, you can only move for a second." Dio pointed out. "But since you have already invaded my world of stopped time, it would not be wise to underestimate you by getting close. In spite of this, the advantage is still mine! Jotaro, your defeat will come regardless of how long you are capable of moving while time is stopped!" Out of nowhere, Dio suddenly pulled out a handful of knives on both hands.

Jotaro widened his eyes and a startled gasp escaped from his lips.

"You've gone pale." Dio noticed and a devious smirk appeared on his face. "The sight of these knives alone must have made you realize a fate far worse than your pathetic grandfather's awaits you!"

"That bastard! Where he fuck does he get these ideas?!" Jotaro thought. "He's out of his damn mind! He's dangerous!"

Summoning Star Platinum, he used his Stand to kick himself up in the air. He had to get away from Dio's range and fast.

"Escaping is futile! The World!"

The moment time stopped, Dio leaped into the air until he was the same level as Jotaro.

"Five seconds!" Dio said and threw a set of knives at Jotaro. The knives stopped mid-air, inches away from piercing the high-schooler.

"Once time resumes, I wonder if your Star Platinum will be able to deflect all of the knives at once." Dio mocked. "Four seconds!"

The World threw another set of knives and this time they were much closer to Jotaro's face.

Dio laughs, "Hahaha! Bearing to witness your own demise must be truly terrifying, Jotaro! Three seconds left…"

He throws the third set of knives and Star Platinum manifests to punch the knives away. But that was all Jotaro was able to do before he froze again after a second.

"Two seconds left… is that the best you can do?!" Dio taunted. "This proves beyond a doubt you can move for no more than an instant." He slowly backed away and sat on top of a chimney.

"One more second… Zero."

Time resumed and all the knives that were in midair came flying towards Jotaro. Star Platinum punched them out of the way as fast as possible but couldn't deflect the other knives. Several knives pierced Jotaro, three on his chest, one on each shoulder and one on his thigh.

Jotaro coughed out blood with a grunt.

"This is the end." Dio declared, grinning in satisfaction. "But have another for good measure."

He tossed one more knife at Jotaro. Star Platinum tried to deflect it but it bounced off of his wrist and pierced Jotaro's head.

"Honestly," Dio continued with his arms crossed. "I am quite relieved to be rid of you so swiftly, Jotaro."

Dio watched Jotaro fall to the ground below.

"I never foresaw you entering my world of stopped time." Dio said. "To put it in perspective, despite how useful an automobile can be, it is rendered useless when the streets become overcrowded with them."

Jotaro slammed on to the ground. The civilians nearby sprinted away in fear.

"Only I, Dio, should have the power over stopping time."

On the ground, Jotaro groaned while laying flat on his back. His body was hurting from all over from the fall, especially the wounds from the knives.

He let out a sigh, "Good grief… Throwing all those damn knives at me. I paid good money for this uniform too." He lifted his shirt up to inspect the damage.

Earlier, Jotaro took the opportunity to stuff his clothes and hat with magazines in case Dio tried to do anything but he didn't expect him to throw a barrage of knives.

"Good thing I stuffed clothes with magazines or else I would've been dead." Jotaro thought, adjusting his hat. "If I have any hope of getting out of this alive, I need to wait for my chance to strike. If I don't find a way to smash his head in, he'll kill me." A startled gasp came out of his mouth when he saw Dio fly over him.

He landed on the ground not too far from Jotaro, keeping his eyes on him. Jotaro watched Dio under the brim of his hat.

"I must be careful." Dio placed a hand under his chin, "The Joestar bloodline has proven itself rather fortuitous. He may be playing dead to deceive me. I must end him beyond a shadow of a doubt!" He grabbed the street sign next to him, "Just to be sure…" He broke the street sign off the ground. "... I shall chop his head off!"

Sweat trailed down Jotaro's face.

"This will finally put an end to you…." Dio leaped into the air, holding the street sign above his head. "... Jotaro!"

Before Dio could sever Jotaro's head, out of nowhere, Polnareff appeared behind Dio. Polnareff must've jumped off the rooftop of a building and pierced Dio in the back of his head from Silver Chariot's rapier.

"BURN IN HELL, DIOOO!" Polnareff yelled.

"Polnareff?!" Jotaro cried out in thought.

Without any hesitation, Dio stopped time and moved his head forward to slide out of Silver Chariot's rapier. With an annoyed look on his face, he turned around to see that it was Polnareff.

"So it was you, Polnareff? Tch." Dio struck Polnareff on the side with his fist and resumed time.

"GYAH!" Blood came out of the Frenchman's mouth. He was thrown away and crashed into one of the building's nearby.

"What a shame, Polnareff." Dio said, "With a bit more accuracy, and a little more force behind your blow, you could have severed my brain stem with your rapier!" The wound on his head instantly healed.

"B-Bastard! T-That's impossible…!" Polnareff mumbled before passing out.

"I, Dio, never succumbs to sneak attacks!" Dio announced, grabbing the street sign again and began walking over to Polnareff. "And as for your little Joestar Egyptian Tour Group… Once I am done with you, it shall be completely wiped out!"

"Shit! This is bad! Polnareff's going to get killed!" Jotaro furrowed his brows, "My plan was to play dead as long as possible until I got a chance to smash his head in but… I need to act now if I want to keep Polnareff alive. Still, there's no way Dio will enter Star Platinum's range. It will just end like last time. I need to make sure he doesn't realize I'm alive. As long as he's unsure, my chance to strike will come! But talk about ironic… I tried my hardest to move while time is stopped and now I'm struggling to stay still while time is moving…"

Dio raised the street sign above the Frenchman, "Farewell, Polnareff!" As he was about to strike Polnareff, he heard the sound of Jotaro's hand moving.

Dio instantly dropped the sign and jumped on top of a pile of bricks. He focused his gaze on the young Joestar.

"Jotaro, you…" Dio narrowed his eyes. "You're either alive… Or at least, you're gaining consciousness."

"Don't move! This is the police!" An officer shouted, pointing a gun behind Dio.

The officer's partner was also with him, both men were shaking in fear.

"We have guns!" The other officer said, "So put your hands up!"

Dio ignored their demand and disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye. The two officers gasped and before they knew it, Dio stood behind them. The vampire punched one of the officers hard in the face and with the other, he shoved his fingers on their neck to control their movements. He forced the officer to shoot Jotaro. Seeing that Jotaro didn't react or move, he tossed the officer to the side.

"Perhaps I was just imagining things." Dio told himself.

But unbeknownst to Dio, Star Platinum had caught the bullet before it could enter Jotaro's body.

"What a twisted motherfucker!" Jotaro remarked. "At least he's now focused on me instead of Polnareff. He's suspicious as all hell. He'll try to make absolutely sure that I'm dead. This is when things start to get really fucked up…"

"The sound of his breathing…" Dio perked his head up, listening closely.

A moment passed, "I don't hear it so he's not breathing. But what about his heartbeat?" Dio got down and pressed his ear against the ground.

At the same time, Jotaro used Star Platinum to grab his heart, forcing it to stop beating. But now the delinquent's chest started to hurt and was on the verge of passing out.

"S-Shit! This is insane!" Jotaro thought. "If I black out, I'm dead! It won't even be funny… Dying while using my own Stand to stop my heart…"

Not hearing a single heartbeat, Dio stood back up on his feet. "Since his heart isn't beating, he is definitely dead. I guess it really was my imagination…" He walked over to the street sign and picked it up, "But just to be safe, I shall chop his head off. All right, Jotaro?"

Star Platinum immediately started pumping Jotaro's heart to revive him. Dio swung the sign down and life was brought into Jotaro's eyes. Star Platinum managed to catch the sign before it could behead the delinquent.

"WHAT?!" Dio screamed and much to his horror, his eyes met a pair of aquamarine eyes glaring at him.

"ORAA!"

"THE WORLD- GAH!"

Dio attempted to stop time but failed when Star Platinum delivered a powerful blow straight into Dio's head, shattering his skull.

"I almost blacked out for a moment there, but even if you stop time, I'll still smash your fucking head, Dio!" Jotaro seethed, sitting back up holding his arm.

"Wh-What?! Impossible…!"

The powerful blow sent Dio flying to a small set of stairs that led to a street.

"Finally…" Jotaro muttered, standing back on his feet. "I was finally able to smash his head in. But that motherfucker survived for one-hundred years at the bottom of the ocean. It's gonna take more than just a blow on Dio's head. I can't relax just yet…" His eyes averted to two buckets nearby.

"I shall kill you…!" Dio snarled with blood gushing out from the side of his head.

He tried to stand up but immediately fell down on the ground. The damage Star Platinum had done caused Dio to be unable to walk or move. It even slowed down his healing.

"Wh-What the hell is this?! I-I can't move! Jotaro, what did you do to me?! M-My legs! My legs refuse to move!" Dio then grabbed the side of his head, the pain was unbearable. "This pain in my head… this nauseous feeling… How is this possible?! I, the mighty Dio, afflicted with sickness?!"

"Shit! Shit! Shit! I have to find a way out of here!" Dio thought.

Jotaro poured gasoline all over Dio that he took from a car nearby.

"You'll be easier to track if I can smell the gasoline on you," Jotaro told the vampire. "I feel kinda bad kicking a guy while he's down, but… Actually, nah, I really don't. Not for you." He tossed the bucket to the side and pulled out a lighter from his pocket.

"You nearly killed my friends and many innocent bystanders have died because of you." Jotaro ignites the lighter.

Suddenly Dio burst out laughing as if he lost his damn mind, at the same time, a taxi drove by in the background. Jotaro stared at Dio confused, why is he laughing? Getting on his knees, Dio raised his hands up as he continued laughing.

"AHAHAHAHAHA!… COME FORTH, THE WORLD!"

Time has stopped and Dio fell on his back. He rolled over and quickly began crawling to the taxi that recently drove by. Jotaro tried to move with the limited time he had when time is stopped but froze before he barely took a step.

"That place… I must reach that place!" Dio panted while crawling to the taxi. He grabbed onto the back of the bumper to get away from Jotaro.

Time resumed and the taxi dragged Dio away from the scene, driving down the street, leaving an angry delinquent behind.

Jotaro ran up the small set of stairs and watched Dio get away. "Dammit. That bastard put his head on the ground to listen for any passing cars but…" He pulled the remaining knife out that was left on his body. "He's not getting away that easily!" With the help of Star Platinum, he threw the knife at the taxi.

The knife poked one of the back wheels of the vehicle, causing it to lose control. This made Dio let go of the car and his body rolled down the street until he grabbed onto the cover of a manhole.

"That place! Ngggh… That place! As long as I reach it!" Dio groaned while trying to open the cover of the manhole to escape.

Once it was pulled open, Dio widened his eyes and gasped in disbelief.

"Sorry, but your hiding spot is already taken." Jotaro said, "There's no escape."

The weakened vampire watched the delinquent rise from the sewers, towering over him.

"Give up already, Dio." Jotaro said, his feet settling on the ground.

Both Stand users stare at each other, glaring at one another, waiting who would make the first move.

"THE WORL-!"

"ORA!"

Star Platinum punched Dio hard in the face, interrupting the vampire's sentence. The purple warrior-like Stand began to pulverize Dio with his barrage of punches.

"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORAAA!"

"AAAGGHHHH!"

The powerful blows sent Dio flying but despite being severely beaten, he started laughing like a maniac while flying.

"YOU FELL FOR IT, JOTARO! THIS IS MY ESCAPE PLAN!" Dio yelled with a grin on his face. "YOU'VE LOST THIS BATTLE OF WITS AGAINST THE MIGHTY DIO! DOESN'T THIS STREET LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU?!"

Jotaro gasped and widened his eyes. The Japanese high-schooler realized his mistake when he recognized the area. A dust cloud appeared when Dio landed on the ground.

"T-This street… It can't be!"

The sound of blood being sucked made Jotaro's blood turn cold. Once the dust cloud diminished, Dio was fully healed and much stronger than eve

"That's right…" Dio said with a devilish smirk, "My escape plan was to take the blood of Joseph Joestar!" He stood up.

His appearance changed; his hair was all spiked up but also a little messy, he no longer wore the yellow jacket, allowing his muscular, buffed arms to be exposed, his green heart-shaped headband was also gone and he was wearing… green lipstick?

"Damn you, Dio!" Jotaro frowned.

Dio hummed with amusement, "Just as I thought… Joseph's blood worked well. It worked perfectly as a matter of fact! I can feel my power like never before! It worked… It worked really well! Hehehe HAHAHA!" He started laughing like a madman and aggressively scratched his head until it bled.

"This body once belonged to Jonathan Joestar over a century ago," Dio continued when he stopped scratching and the wound on his head instantly healed. "And now, it is imbued with the blood of his grandson, Joseph Joestar! And the one to make this possible by allowing me to escape is you, Jotaro!"

Jotaro was fuming on the inside.

"The Joestar bloodline was mere dog shit lying on the road of my destiny! But in the end, you Joestars are nothing more than tools for me. Hehehehe… HAHAHAHAHA!"

Jotaro began taking a few steps forward, "G-Gramps…" He called out for his grandfather.

While Dio continued laughing, a golden cloud emitted from Joseph's body. Jotaro halted and widened his eyes when he saw the cloud turn into his grandfather.

"G-Gramps!" Jotaro couldn't believe what he was seeing.

"No matter what Dio does to my body, you must never let your rage get the better of you, Jotaro." Joseph told his grandson. "You don't need to concern yourself to me anymore. This happened because it had to…"

"I-Is this… Gramps' soul?" Jotaro asked himself. But if this is Joseph's soul, then that means he's…

"Noriko solved the mystery of Dio's Stand and I relayed her final message to you." Joseph continued. "If we all fought Dio at once, he would have wiped us out instantly. I've seen that you can move while time is stopped. You can move for about two or three seconds, use that time wisely. And no matter what Dio does next, don't lose your cool. If you attack him in a blind rage, you'll put yourself in a bad situation."

Joseph's spirit started ascending in the sky, and he gave his grandson a sad smile.

"Jotaro…" Joseph grabbed the brim of his hat, "This was a great trip, huh? A lot has happened to us. We had quite a bizarre adventure in these fifty days… It was truly fun…"

With those final words, Joseph's spirit disappeared. Jotaro continued staring at the sky, wondering if what he had just witnessed was an illusion or if it was real. It didn't help that he felt a lump on his throat and tears wanting to come out.

"Hey! What are you gawking at, Jotaro?!" Dio called out, snapping the high-schooler back to reality.

Jotaro glared at Dio and watched the vampire pierce his fingers into Joseph's chest, draining the Joestar's blood until it became an empty shell. This enraged Jotaro, his blood boiling.

"You motherfucker!" Jotaro growled, his fists were trembling with rage.

"Now he's just an empty husk…" Dio chuckled.

Not able to hold it any longer, Jotaro began running towards the vampire.

"Gramps told me to not lose my cool no matter what." Jotaro said, recalling the words his grandfather told him a moment ago. "But what he's asking me to do is impossible! No one can stay calm after seeing what that bastard just did!"

"This is the final round!" Dio declared.

The two Stand users were about to clash until Jotaro jumped high in the air with the help of Star Platinum's kick and Dio chased after him.

"THE WORLD! TIME HAS STOPPED!" Dio screeched. "WRRRRRYYYYY!"

"One second has passed… Two seconds have passed… Three seconds have passed…" Dio counted as he slowly got closer to Jotaro. "Four seconds…"

Star Platinum manifested and attacked with powerful punches. The World deflected the punches but on the last punch, Star Platinum shattered the Stand's hand including the vampire's. Letting out a couple more punches and Star Platinum pushed Dio a few feet away.

"Five seconds… have passed…" A devious smirk appeared on Dio's face. "Six seconds… have passed."

Jotaro widened his eyes in horror, realizing that Dio can go past the five second mark. The vampire's hand regenerated as he continued counting.

"Seven seconds have passed! I still feel the power surging within me! I can still keep going!" Dio said, "By the way Jotaro, you shouldn't be able to move anymore. You gambled the two seconds before time starts to move again but you've miscalculated."

"Mmm! What a truly magnificent feeling!" Dio hummed with joy. "I feel as though I could begin singing! Eight seconds have passed! A hundred years ago, I attained immortality." He jammed his finger inside his head. "But it never felt nearly as good as the feeling I have right now! Hehehe! The Joestar blood suits me very well! This is the greatest high! Hehehahaha!"

"D-Dammit! You were right, Old Man." Jotaro thought . "My stupid temper got me into a shit ton of trouble! For Christ sake. But this isn't the fucking over! I still have plenty of rage to hurl at his ass!" His body trembled with rage. He desperately wanted to beat the shit out of Dio but due to the time stop it prevented him.

"Nine seconds have passed!" Dio said as he went around Jotaro. "I've stopped for nine seconds! It seems my limit is nine seconds." He got in front of Jotaro and a sinister grin spread across his face.

"Y-You bastard!" Jotaro thought, knowing what was coming next.

"WRRYYYY!" The World pummeled Jotaro with a barrage of punches, breaking a few of the teen's bones.

Jotaro was sent flying and his body destroyed a letter from a sign from one of the buildings. His body continued flying and Dio went after him.

"Prepare to meet the full power of my Stand!" Dio shouted. "Jotaro! You said something about being pissed off?! Your pathetic fury can't achieve no more than that!"

Once within range, he called out The World and the powerful Stand kicked Jotaro multiple times rapidly in the face. Jotaro was falling at a high speed and landed on a bridge. Star Platinum helped with the delinquent's fall as he landed on the street.

"Prepare yourself for my final attack! This is it! My final time stop! Within these nine seconds, I will emerge victorious! THE WORLD!"

Time is stopped once more. Dio's feet gently touched the ground. He glanced at Jotaro who laid on the ground helplessly and let out a dark chuckle before flying off.

"One second has passed…" Dio announced from wherever he was. "Two seconds have passed… Three seconds have passed…"

Not knowing why Dio suddenly vanished while time is stopped, Jotaro only had one thing in mind. For those two seconds he has, all he needs to do is drive Star Platinum's fists into that damn bastard within that limit.

Jotaro's fists were clenched tightly, his teeth grinding on each other from how pissed off he is.

"The one thing I know, Dio, is that the next time I see your fucking face, I'm probably going to bust a vein!" Jotaro thought.

"Six seconds have passed…"

"Bring it on, Dio!"

At the seven second mark, Jotaro saw a shadow over him.

"A ROAD ROLLER!"

Dio returned with a giant road roller vehicle to crush Jotaro. Slamming the machine down onto the teen, Jotaro instantly summoned Star Platinum to prevent the road roller from crushing him. Star Platinum began punching the road roller.

"IT'S TOO LATE! YOU CANNOT ESCAPE!" Dio yelled and also called out his Stand.

"MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA!"

"ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA!"

With the immense weight of the vehicle and with The World pushing it down, it was too much for the Japanese high-school and crushed him at the nine second mark that Dio counted.

Dio stood over the vehicle, "I did it…" He murmured. "It's finally over." He looked down at the blood on the ground that came from Jotaro being crushed. "Star Platinum has finally been defeated by The World."

He raised his arms, flexing his muscles and a victorious grin spread across his face.

"Immortality… Eternal life!" Dio chuckled. "And Stand power! This proves that no one can surpass I, Dio! Pathetic humans, I shall rule you all! They will bow before my knowledge and might! Ten seconds have passed!"

Dio's time stop ability has now reached ten seconds.

"Now then, I should find Jotaro's lifeless body and drink his blood. If there's any blood left to take!"

As he was about to move to drain the blood of the teen, he suddenly felt his movements slow down. Then he was unable to move a single muscle from his body.

"What the-?! What's going on?!" Dio then realized that he wasn't slowing down. He was frozen from a time stop.

"I-Impossible!"

"Dio!" A voice spoke behind the vampire.

It was Jotaro, standing right behind him. "It's been eleven seconds. Looks like that's your limit." Jotaro said.

"What?!" Dio thought. He couldn't believe it.

"I stopped time at the nine second mark, that's how I was able to escape." Jotaro told him. "Good grief… Now," He does his signature pose, pointing at Dio. "It won't even take me a second to finish you off!"

"Jo… Jotaro!" Dio growled the young Joestar's name.

This enraged the vampire, not only is the Joestar brat able to move while time is stopped, but also stop it as well just like him?! Impossible! This only proved to Dio that both Star Platinum and The World just how similar the two Stands are.

Jotaro approached Dio. "How does it feel, Dio?" He asked. "Having someone come up to you from behind while you can't move a single muscle? The best way I can describe it is like when a guy who can hold his breath underwater for a minute finally comes up for air at the very last second…" He then grabs the vampire's shoulder, hard.

"… Only for him to be suddenly dragged back down into the water. Doesn't that sound right?" He continued. "But for you Dio, I don't feel any pity for you at all."

Star Platinum kicked Dio's legs, shattering them. Dio groaned from his bones cracking. Time resumed and Dio was sent flying and slammed onto the ground. Jotaro jumped off the vehicle and stood before the weakened vampire.

Blood gushed out from Dio's legs, they were shaking and twitching. He started to pant and sweat.

"There's not even a shred of sympathy for you in my body, Dio. Not even an ounce of pity for you at all." Jotaro said. "However, just finishing you off by beating you to death now would leave a bad taste in my mouth. How many seconds will your legs take to heal? Three seconds? Perhaps four? The moment your legs heal I'll send out Star Platinum to beat the shit out of you. So bring it on!"

Jotaro then moved a bit closer to Dio, "If this were the Wild West, the hero would say… 'It's high noon'. Now get off the ground and draw your piece, Dio. You're getting one shot."

Dio glared at Jotaro angrily. "This insignificant brat! How dare he mock me!" He thought. "Though… I shouldn't be surprised. Jotaro, you may have come this far but you are still only human. You think like a human who has so little time to live. Saying things that leave a bad taste in your mouth or living your life with no regrets? That kind of reasoning is about as compelling as rat shit in a bathroom and it'll be your demise! I, Dio, have no such thoughts. Within my mind is but one simple thought. Just one!"

Dio was slowly starting to get back up from the ground but he was still shaking from the injury. He had a smirk displayed on his face. He was planning something.

"To be victorious and rule! That is all! That is all I need to feel satisfaction! And how I do it…"

"… Does not matter!" Dio shouted and squeezed the blood out from one of his legs, aiming it at Jotaro's eyes.

"How do you like being blinded by my blood?! I've won! DIE!"

Manifesting The World, the golden armored Stand charges with its leg at Jotaro for one final strike. Blinded, Jotaro pulled his fist back along with Star Platinum to counter.

The World's leg and Star Platinum's fist collide.

A moment passed without a word and Star Platinum's fist suddenly cracked. This brings joy to Dio but is instantly washed away into a frown when his Stand's leg starts cracking.

"What?!" Dio gasped in disbelief.

Jotaro narrowed his eyes, with all his strength, he added more force on his fist onto the leg and the crack traveled all the way to The Word's body.

"WHAT?!" Dio screeched, receiving the same effect. "I-IMPOSSIBLE! I-I AM DIO! THE ULTIMATE PERFECTION! I AM DIOOOO!"

Dio's body gets destroyed from one side and his head explodes. His body falls on the ground and blood is spilled everywhere. A blue and white smoke releases from the vampire's body.

Jotaro straightened himself as he stared at the corpse. He felt relief, his mother is safe now and she's going to survive. All he needs to do now is wait until sunrise and turn Dio's body into dust.

He grabbed the tip of his hat, "There's only one reason why you lost, Dio. One simple reason… You pissed me the fuck off." Jotaro said.

Dio and The World are utterly defeated, dead. The battle against Dio is finally over.

To Be Continued…


So... instead of ending the chapter where Dio takes Joseph blood like in the episode, I decided to keep going until the end of the battle and next chapter will be of the recovery of the Crusaders! \(^ヮ^)/

See you guys next time! ~('▽^人)
