"AND NOW, WITHOUT PAUSE, MY FINAL ATTACK! THE LAST AND FINAL TIME I WILL STOP TIME!"
Dio shouted, with madness mixed with triumph, while still flying straight at Jotaro, who was lying painfully on the concrete pavement. He raised his hand, summoning his invincible Stand.
"WITHIN MY NINE SECONDS OF STOP TIME, I SHALL END THIS! THE WORLD!"
As soon as Jotaro landed, time instantly stopped.
Dio then landed in front of a freezing Jotaro, before releasing a menacing chuckle.
He suddenly jumped away, leaving Jotaro lying frozen. However, even if Dio hadn't launched an attack yet, Jotaro remained in place with his hands still clenched tight, ready for a counterattack with an abandoned thought.
'The one thing that I know, Dio...'
Three seconds have passed.
Four seconds have passed.
'The next moment I see you, I'll unleash Star Platinum into your face!'
Five seconds have passed.
Six seconds have passed.
'Bring it on, Dio!'
Seven seconds have passed.
.
.
.
Nothing happened.
He did not attack, nor did his shadow appear in the sky.
'W-What?!'
In these last seconds, the very last moments of the frozen time, it was also when he was easiest to move. Dio could have attacked him seconds ago. Still, why hasn't he launched an attack yet?
Eight seconds have passed.
Nine seconds have passed.
And, done.
Time went on. After only a few seconds, he moved his fingers, and slowly, his limb could move freely.
"Time has moved on? What the hell is happening...?"
He immediately turned his face to look in all directions on both sides of the road. Suddenly, a siren echoed.
It was the Speedwagon Foundation's ambulance.
"What the hell just... happened?"
He looked back at the full moon sky overhead. The bright moonlight made him even more suspicious, but his wounded body fell to his knees, panting wearily.
He kept standing still before he left, with his mind remaining in a state of doubt.
"...Urgh... Damn..."
A numbness hit Dio's body before he stood up and raised his hand, and scratched his blond hair. He let his eyes look around him, allowing his vision to be more open to his surroundings.
The surrounding him built from bright white jade, with pillars decorated with symbols and drawings representing both time and immortality, with a dome overlooking the full moon, letting a bright light illuminate a statue of a... goddess? But, the most confusing thing here is: Why?
Why did he have to be here?
What is this place?
"That's right, Jotaro. I'm about to finish him off with a road roller, then... What happened?"
Dio asked himself in wonder when he only vaguely remembers loading a roller for the finishing blow, and then-
"You don't need to have such a thought."
A voice from a woman drew his gaze back to hers.
She has the appearance of a beautiful young girl, wearing a shirt that is tight enough to reveal a gap between her chest, partially concealed with a large bow connected to her blue cloak.
In her hands, she holds two swords, one with the handle in the shape of a heart, the other with the other half of a heart.
She stood aloft, looking down at where he stood with a scornful look.
"That woman's appearance... is the same as that statue."
He whispered in surprise, beginning to raise his vigilance.
"Hey, woman. Who are you?"
He asked her in his usual arrogant tone. But in response, she slowly descended, with the sound of her feet in the air resounding like the steps.
"Dio Brando."
She said as she stepped down.
"Ho, so you know what my name is? If so, why don't you kneel?"
Dio continued to maintain that arrogant tone, not standing still but waiting for death, but slowly advancing.
"Dio Brando,'Sinner of Time.' Do you have any final words?"
She asked sarcastically, causing Dio to... burst out laughing.
"Oh, haha! Think again of the person who needed to hear these words, woman."
He laughed, equally arrogant as her sarcastic voice. But he couldn't find any vein on her face.
"Really?"
She asked sarcastically before raising her hand-
*SNAP*
In just a split second, a series of giant needles like Big Ben's hands appeared in the middle of the air, almost catching Dio off guard.
'This power... Is it some kind of Stand abilities?'
Dio thought. However, with her sword pointed back in his direction, Dio began to take a defensive stance, as the giant clock hands began to point their aim at him.
"Keep these jokes to you while you can."
She continued to descend from the invisible steps until her high heels touched the floor.
"My name is Ouro Kronii, 'Warden of Time'. This is your execution and the last time you see the moonlight, Dio."
*WHOOSH*
As soon as she finished her sentence, the clock's hands immediately flew towards him.
"Hmph, you stupid woman. My Stand, The World meant my domination over the world. Wait, no..."
When the tips of the clock hands were very close to piercing him, he suddenly flashed a smile and a look filled with pride at her. before-
*DOOM*
"-IT'S MY DOMINATION OVER TIME ITSELF!"
[The World!]
Time instantly froze when the tip of the clockwise was only a centimeter away from his eyes.
One second has passed.
"Hmph, as expected. You're just all mouth, aren't you?"
Two seconds have passed.
Dio asked jokingly before The World's fist clenched.
"But even if that's the truth..."
Three seconds have passed.
"MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!"
Four seconds have passed.
With a barrier made up of The World's mighty punches, the clock hands shattered into hundreds of pieces.
"You are still completely useless against the power of The World!"
Five seconds have passed.
Instantly, Dio dashed through the debris to unleash a finishing punch at the woman, but-
"WHAT?!"
Six seconds have passed.
What The World's fist touched wasn't her, it was just air.
Seven seconds have passed.
"No way! Why is that bastard-"
Dio looked around at his surroundings, with his face still full of alertness to his surroundings, even though time had stopped.
Eight seconds have passed.
No way, that girl was talking, there can't be anything-
"All mouth? Not with this Kronii."
Nine seconds have passed.
He immediately turned his head-
*PIERCE*
-for a giant clockwise to pierce his chest and immobilize him into the statue.
"ARGH! What the-?!"
"Stopping time? What a child's play."
Blood began to trickle down from his heart through the hands of the clock. With such a large amount of blood loss, that person must have died long ago. But he is no ordinary person, he is Dio.
"W-What the...? Is this Dio's life here will end?"
Dio looked up at the bright moon. After all, the moon was still the only thing he could see right now, as the moon he was sighting took the appearance of a smoky purple-haired girl, wearing a miniskirt and a crop...top.
"What the bloody hell is this thing?!"
The moon's eyes seemed to hear his words, its eyes seemed to be looking back at him, with a face... shy?!
"E-Eh, I haven't seen anything yet. I'm just a Moon! That's right, Moona is just a moon!"
*WHOOSH*
.
.
"Tch. I can't let you lie like this forever. That will make my statue dirty."
She said to herself before approaching the now-immobilized Dio and grabbing the clockwise. However, with her guard now let down, she made a huge mistake.
"What is this?"
Her hand suddenly glued to that clock hand... with Dio's blood?! Although it was only blood, it was so tight that she couldn't pull it out, even with all her might.
"...You goddamn whore... Do you think this alone... is enough to kill this Dio?"
He looked back up at her, in an aura that overpowered her absolutely. Then his pupils opened wide like flower petals, releasing a strange fluid.
"WWRRRRRRYYYYYYY!"
The liquids shot out from his eyes with such pressure like hot bullets. It shredded through the pillars and up to the dome, breaking them into rubbles.
"I have a compliment for you, woman."
Dio slowly brought his body to the side of the clock his face remained unchanged even though his blood was bleeding out even faster.
"You managed to remove your hand from that glove just in time, avoiding the Space Ripper Stingy Eyes."
His wound gradually healed, as his hands clenched into fists, clearly showing his victory.
"I don't need your compliment."
Kronii slowly stood up, before a pair of twin blades materialized in her hand.
"This sanctuary... It took me a lot of work to build. Selected from the most precious materials, from the most expensive paint colors."
Blue veins began to appeared prominently on her face, showing a bone-chilling anger.
"I'll kill you hundreds, no-"
She pointed her blade straight at him.
"—I will kill you a thousand times, until the blood I'll sold is enough to repair this Cathedral."
She spoke indignantly, making Dio couldn't help but be more amused by the oath.
"Haha! MUAHAHAHA! Good! Very good!"
He raised his arms, before The World mysteriously appeared beside him.
"Let me, Dio, teach you what it is like to stand above humanity!"

Fight-
*DING DONG*
With a bell ringing throughout the Cathedral, Kronii and Dio stopped when they were only a few feet apart. However, the reasons are different when Dio was confused and Kronii was... panicked.
"Damn it! It's my debut time!"
She clutched her head in panic and shouted, much to Dio's confusion.
"Hey, what are you doing, woman?"
Dio asked, but before he could react, Kronii immediately grabbed his collar in anger, much to Dio's surprise when she had the strength to lift a 1.95 meter tall and 105-kg man like him.
"You won't understand, you damn vampire! This is our debut, the most important event of my life!"
She tossed him away like she was throwing a rose, before straightening her clothes.
"After this debut, I'll fucking bury you!"
With a mighty jump, she flew out of this Cathedral like a rocket, without giving an explanation for Dio to understand.
"You damned woman... You dare to give orders to Dio when you're the one running away?!"
[The World!]
He summoned his Stand, straining his legs with all his might, combined with the power of The World.
"DON'T EVER THINK THAT I WILL FORGET YOU!"
He jumped out of the Cathedral, chasing after Kronii.
"It's all ready, everyone!"
A purple-haired girl rushed out, attracting everyone in front of her. But, when she looked back at all of them, she realized that… was there someone missing?
"Wait, where's Kronii?
A-chan asked them again, but before anyone could give a profuse answer, Kronii rattled through the closed door, breathing hard like never before.
"Sorry, I'm a bit *huff*... late."
She then collapsed on a nearby armchair, breathing heavily in exhaustion.
"Oh, Kronii, what's taking you so long?!"
Fauna approached and asked in concern before handing her a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you, Fauna."
Kronii grabbed the water bottle and drank it all at once.
"It's just, this one is quite stubborn, not accepting his punishment like the others."
She sighed before lowering the water bottle in exhaustion.
"Really, Kronii?! I've never seen anyone who wouldn't succumb to your beauty before!"
Baelz jokingly said before sitting down on a sofa.
"Come on, girls. Prepare yourselves. Both Sana and Mumei were-"
*BOOM*
Suddenly, a loud crash hit the ears of all of them, startling them all.
"W-What's the matter?!"
Fauna couldn't help but let out her worry.
"Whoo! Earthquake!"
Baelz said happily, but few around her felt the same.
"No, it wasn't an earthquake, it was-"
The ceiling above their heads instantly shattered, revealing a roller coaster heading down.
"-ROADOROLLAH DAH! (ロードローラーダ)"
Should I make chapter 2?
