Omnidimension Neptunia: Infinite Memes

by SuperHuman200

Divergent plot, crispy memes, meta humor & references. In a world where the CPUs are subjected to tentacle hentai at the hands of ASIC, it's not quite up to our... MALE OC to save the day like so many other harem power fantasies, but it beats kicking rocks like an NPC, especially if he became a relevant character because of a weirdly shaped one. (Current: Divine Hunger Arc)

"Oh, It's you." DIO grimaced as Kars raised a brow before looking at each other.

"Wait, you know him?" They continued, their faces warping into mutual curiosity as they realized esh contender was familiar with the martial artist.

"I've been around." The fighter folded his arms as he sniggered. "So before I get to you," He pointed at DIO who snarled at AL's finger, "What is your business in Leanbox, Kars?" He sternly questioned.

"As if I would tell a lowly human like you." Kars refused to answer the hero's question, which made his smile fade as his brows slightly raised.

"Is that so? I didn't know the great Kars was one to act on something a meager as intuition." AL poked at the alien's intelligence, causing the Ultimate Life Form's eyes to narrow.

"Tsk. Your words hold no weight to me. My concerns will remain mine alone." Kars didn't fall for the provocation, which made AL mentally sigh as he went with an assumption to string along a false narrative.

"So the two of you are in cahoots?" He voiced.

"How dare you assume I have any form of alliance with this freak of nature!" DIO shouted as Kars growled at that on-the-ball insult.

"Watch your tongue, you insufferable vampire. It's the Ultimate Life Form to you, and I'd much rather be a freak of nature than a failure of a fighter since the last 35 minutes were you being beneath my boot." The alien rebutted as AL got a handle on the two's attitude about each other.

"Alright, ALRIGHT you two. Kars, stay out of this one. DIO and I have some unfinished business." The martial artist was itching for an altercation.

"This will be a spectacle. I was getting tired of this fruitless fighting anyway. The food source has become too weak to give me any real challenge." The taller ancient warrior looked to the side.

"You dare belittle DIO?!"

BFFT!

SUMMON!

The vampire roared as he sent his stand to vibe check the space warrior.

SHOOT!

MORPH!

PIERCE!

But Kars quickly stuck out a finger, detaching the nail as it quickly morphed into a large and incredibly sharp hornet stinger that tore through the air before piercing through the face of DIO as he was blasted back, his stand fading.

"Kuh!"

WOOSH!...

The bloodsucker guttered as he was thrown to the side.

"Entertain me."

FLY!

...

LAND...!

The alien told the fighter as he flew to a high building, before perching himself on the top, looking down with his sharp eyesight to speculate the battle that was about to take place.

STARE...!

"Well, I guess that settles that. I can always question him when this is all over since he doesn't seem like an active threat... Anymore." The martial artist looked up to the skyscraper he was occupying currently before looking back down to where DIO had been hurled.

He then wasted no time by springing into the air and charging a flaming Hadōken by fusing his KI and fire affinity before releasing it in a burning blast.

"Hadōken!"

BLAST!

EXPLOSION!

FWOOSH!!!

The fire user yelled as he fired the blast at the building that DIO had crashed into, for it to explode from the inside out in a spectacular explosion as his hair and the debris around him were blown back by the winds.

HEAVY PUNCH!

His guard stayed up, and for good reason too as he narrowed his eyes to see through the dust before he felt a spontaneous presence of energy besides him, but turned to it only to be clocked in the cheek by DIO's fist.

"Ghk!" AL spat as he felt the blood and spit escape from his mouth from the surprise blow.

SPIKE!

SLAM!!!

CRATER!

BOOM!

He was staggered in the air before the bloodsucker used the surface area of his fist to push the fighter's face down, spiking him into the cracked concrete in one swift motion, causing it to crater and emit a shockwave from the impact as AL slammed into the ground.

"Hrnk!"

BOUNCE!

AL winced as more blood escaped his clenched teeth as his body recoiled off of the ground.

SUMMON!

BFFT!

BICYCLE KICK!!!

ZOOM!

But this was the perfect opportunity for The World to return as it appeared right next to AL before bicycle kicking him in the spine, into the air as the wind was knocked out of the fighter as he shot up, DIO looking up.

BFFT!

CLASP!

FLEX!

FEAR AURA!

DIO quickly paused time to fly up to AL's predicted trajectory before resuming the medium as he got ready by clasping his hands as his muscles slightly veined.

AXEHANDLE!

VOOM!

His body was covered in dark gold energy as the fear energy became apparent around him. He then smiled a maddening gleam before sending his fists into the back of the dark-skinned warrior, spiking him down once more, into a convenience store.

CRASH!!!

AL's body was writhing in pain, his durability paying in comparison to the powerful blows his body was receiving amid the confrontation. His eyes were shut in agony as his mouth was pried open from the overwhelming sensation of pain.

SMASH!

He smashed through the roof of the store, landing on a shelf that was tipped over in the shaken establishment.

GLOW...!!!

DIO charged his SRSE beam as his opponent noticed his power skyrocketing.

AL scrambled to move but his body was in too much pain to choreograph his moments to escape.

BOOST!!!...-

JET!!!

"WRYYYYYYYYYY!"

He soon improvised by putting his hands in front of him and sensing flames through his palms and fingers, blasting him in the opposite direction and out of the building right before the black and pink beam descended as a faint cry could be heard.

TWIRL!

BOOST!!!

It was safe to say the store had been completely annihilated by the blast, as well as the blocks surrounding it as AL was on the edge, both mentally and literally as the blast was quickly expanding as he twisted around before activating the flames on the soles of his feet as well as he evaded the blast.

BOOST!!!

AL flew up into the air and saw DIO continuously firing his eye beam towards the expanding blast as the martial artist beelined to him.

'There!' The pyro warrior locked onto the vampire as he soared towards the invader.

SMOKESCREEN!

DIO stopped his attack as he heard the incoming fighter due to his flames as he looked just in time to see the man blow smoke out of his mouth, obscuring his vision as his person and his stand were covered in the attack.

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!

"Za Warudo."

MOVE!...

The vampire was not one to fall for the same trick twice, as time was stopped right before the first counter-attack was delivered, as The World moved AL in the place he currently occupied as he moved away.

"Toki wa ugokidasu."

TIME RESUMES!

DIO then placed his hand on the chest of the martial artist before freezing him solid in frozen time before his stand resumed time as he floated out of the cloud of black smoke, his eyes glowing for another SRSE.

BURN!

SHATTER!

AL soon felt himself encased in a prison of ice, that he quickly broke out of with a flex of his muscles and heating up his body temperature.

TWIST!

MISS!...

His freedom was not felt for long as another eye beam raced toward him from DIO's retinas, the martial artist only having a moment's notice to contort his body to dodge the attack by a stroke of luck.

EXPLOSION!

WHOOSH!-

GRAB!

CRUSH!!!

The explosion, though, was strong enough to blow him back skyward into a bear hug from The World that crushed several bones as the two plummeted towards the ground in a turbulent dive.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!"

SPIN!!!

SPIN!!!

SPIN!!!

AL hollered in agony as his ribs and arms were being crushed as the phantom grunted menacingly as it began to spin rapidly as both combatants headed to a gas station.

BOOM!!!

EXPLOSION!!!

RUMBLE!

The stand crashed right into a gas pump as the entire lot went up in a fuel explosion as well as the ground beneath it being obliterated from the force upon landing as The World vanished just before the chain reaction took place, leaving AL to suffer in the after-effects of the Primary Lo- I mean, the bear hug combo.

MANIFEST!

FLY UP!

AXE KICK!!!

AL activated his flame shield to mitigate the flames but still felt the unbearable pain as he flew up, only to be axe kicked by DIO as his flame armor instantly dispersed from the active fear energy coursing through his body.

HIGH KICK!

DROPKICK!

SIDEKICK!

BACKFLIP AXE KICK!

FLIPPING DOUBLE HEEL KICK!

KNEE!!!

The fighter was then high kicked back up by the dark stand, causing him to flip rapidly as the hit was reciprocated with a dropkick to the forehead by the vampire, before a diagonal sidekick from The World that was met with a backflip axe kick into the stand's ascending double heel kick that was finished by a simultaneous knee.

SHOCKWAVE!!!

SHATTER!!!

RUMBLE!!!...

DIO's knee cap found itself in the stomach of AL, so far in that his back was being stretched from the blow, in an almost inhumanely twisted manner, as The World's knee was indented into the back of the fighter's head, to the point where AL's eyes went blank as a mass of blood escaped his widened mouth and nose as he relaxed his muscles from the brutal guard breaking finisher, a shockwave emitting so loudly that it shattered all surfaces beneath it, from the ice to the windows as the buildings were disrupted.

FALL!

CRACK!...

The two removed their appendages as AL disgracefully fell and slammed into the icy ground, causing it to crack under his landing pressure.

DESCEND!

AL remained motionless on the ground as DIO descended to his fallen opponent.

"What a drag." Kars drawled. "And to think that he could back up what he said minutes ago." The Ultimate Life Form sighed.

The vampire landed next to the mass of beaten flesh that was AL as he began to shit talk the downed opponent.

"How quaint. To possess so much bravado for it to amount to nothing. It's humorous, really." DIO put on a condescending smirk as he and The World looked down, both figuratively and literally at the knocked martial artist.

PUSH!!!

TWIST!!!

UPPERCUT!-

"To look like a burnt match, but instead of exerting all of your power, you flicker and fade like a dying spark." His smile became wide as AL suddenly grit his teeth before pushing up with all his remaining strength as he twisted and reeled for a surprise uppercut.

BACKSTEP!-

HEADBUTT!!!

DIO quickly saw this and stepped back before slamming his skull into AL's as he yelled in pain.

"Argh!"

CRASH!!!-

RECOIL!

AL seethed as he smashed into the ice again before recoiling off of it.

BOOST!!!

SIDEKICK!

But instead of being stunned, he used the bounce factor of his recoil to attack the vampire again as he turned to the side before blasting some flames on the front of his right shin to propel it as he went for a blitzing sidekick.

DIO didn't hesitate and blocked the kick with his forearm as it caused a found sound to emit as he commented.

"Was that supposed to be...!"

TWIRL!

GRAB!

FRACTURE!

PULL!!!

He began as he twisted before grabbing the fire user's ankle, and breaking it with his other hand, pulling the appendage and its owner.

"AN ATTACK!?"

STRANGLE!!!

PUSH!

KNEE!!!

BOOM!!!...

He continued before grabbing AL's neck and pushing the man down as he raised his knee, essentially shattering the martial artist's spine as AL made a sharp hack due to his oxygen being cut off from his neck being clutched.

ROLL!...

AL's pupils dimmed as he was let go as he rolled for a bit before stopping as he was face down in the ice, a sparse trail of his blood

"That attempt was just pathetic. Are you even trying?"

GRIP!...

SQUELCH!

DIO asked the fighter as his fingers slowly contracted, gripping the ice that was shattered with the red fluid.

"..."

STEP!

STRUGGLE...!

AL slowly strained as he pushed himself up on all fours. He soon felt the shoe of DIO rest itself onto his head as it pushed him back to the ground, starting a struggle.

"I find it insulting that even find yourself worthy to breathe the same air as I. You were a fool to even conceive the notion of fighting me and coming out alive." He sneered as AL responded in a strained voice.

"What gives you the right!... To decide who is worthy and unworthy...!" He barely breathed out.

"What gives you the right to question my word."

STOMP!!!

SPLATTER!

BOOM!

He spat before stomping the man's head into the ground, blood splattering from the injury as AL screamed in abject pain.

"MMF!!!" The martial artist writhed.

"Empty barrels make the most noise. It figures, since him being full of hot air would make anatomical sense." He laughed at his jab as AL continued to speak.

"And sparkling corpses... Shouldn't speak at all, yet here we are...!" The human grunted as he had a hammering pain in his head right now.

"Still alive are we? Let's fix that."

SUMMON!

BFFT!

The bloodsucker spoke as The World manifested.

"That's a... Good joke, DIO... Didn't know you were a comedian...!" AL snickered as he got to his feet.

"That head injury of yours might have finally reduced your sanity to nothingness." DIO chuckled at the words the man was saying to him.

AURA!...

SWIRL...!

The aura around AL became apparent as it went from a bright flaming orange to a sinister purple as it slowly circled the feet of the martial artist.

"I'm... Perfectly fine. My mental health is as good as one can be in a crack den such as Gamindustri."

FLAIL!...

He assured as he continued, his hair beginning to flutter in the wind, his energy slowly rising as he did. It moved slowly at first, each lock of hair moving in unison before slowly speeding up as they flapped faster and faster like a burning flame.

"I just wanted to let you have your fun as I gauged whether I'd need to use it... And I was right, unfortunately." His face fell as DIO quickly responded.

"Ho? Them what do you refer to the last 5 minutes as?" He inquired, his face clearly showing his mocking demeanor.

"Restraint."

BULK!

GLOW!

FANGS!

His body then started to tense as his eyes became completely red, glowing and glaring at the invader as his hair went from varying degrees of orange and black to a glowing light red and his muscles veined, and his teeth becoming sharp and monster-like fangs as he bared them.

PILLAR!!!

CLOUDS!

RUMBLE!...

The aura that swirled around AL became more rapid before forming a translucent lavender pillar of dark and malevolent energy as it attracted some dark clouds as the pebbles began to vibrate as dust was being blown back from the position that AL occupied.

Kars had jumped off his building and was currently flying in the air as he saw the action below him.

"What an interesting development! Perhaps this will prove worthwhile after all." The alien commented as the transformation continued.

BFFT!!!

KNIVES!

DIO was not going to let a paltry second wind be the difference between the outcome of the fight, so he stopped time and surrounded the man with knives as they were propped to stab into him.

REPEL!!!

But the blades did not even reach AL as the pillar's presence alone was enough to repel the harmful objects, overpowering their nullification.

"What?!" DIO roared in disbelief as he glared at the figure, his knives being deemed useless.

Irony, readers.

AL's hair became a vibrant red before orange was present at the roots of his hair, up to the middle before the red meshed and went to the tips of his hair.

His eyes became distinguishable, pure black sclera with burning pupils once more, this time more sinister ad they were orangish-red flames instead of their normal color. AL's pants also became a dull black from the energy influencing his body.

The ember by his heart became a small inferno as it bursts into a larger flame that was smack dab in the center of his exposed chest It danced about as it basically conveyed his unyielding fury.

His fingernails became blacks claws as his skin tone became darker, resembling an umber brown as his veins were visible for a brief moment before sinking back down as his muscles became more bulked and streamlined.

GUST!!!

And the pillar that surrounded him expanded as it dispersed, clearing the clouds and ceasing the tremors as it caused The World to shield its master as Kars used a wing to guard himself against the winds, even the likes of Nebula and co. alongside the Basilicom members being able to witness the winds.

"No!"

GUARD!

DIO shouted as The World protected him.

"This will surely be a spectacle!"

TRANSFORM!!!

Kars cackled, as the tension only grew higher as the transformation was complete.

---

Cave and Blinx had regrouped after freeing all those that remained alive after that stunt that wasn't under the spell of DIO, or at least able to be subdued before they were transported back to HQ by the freed soldiers that we're sent there for that very purpose.

"That's about all of them. We were lucky enough to use your fire skill to free the NLSS."

VROOM!!!

Blinx noted as he saw the masked men retrieve more of the unconscious civilians and placing them into some thawed convoys that they managed to free and mod with some magic to be resistant to the ice as they drove off.

"It was the least I could do. You helped out a bit with your Sweeper as well." Can't doesn't take all the credit for their work.

"True, but I felt that this would have been a breeze with AL here. Ya know since he quite literally IS a man on fire." The temporal cat told the RRoD agent.

"I share that sentiment, Blinx." The soldier responded. "But I still feel it was unwise to challenge DIO alone. He may be in danger as we speak." She thought back to when she fought the monster alone, and if not for Domio, she would have been surely finished.

"Can't say I blame you... Wait... Huh?"

RISE...!

The cool cat saw the fragment of ice from the ground slowly rise as he looked up, seeing the grey clouds that formed as he became confused.

"Um... Cave?" The feline got the attention of the redhead.

"Yes?" She answered as she then looked to him before noticing his off-put expression, her face becoming identical to his as she looked up, her eyes widening.

She saw the light purple pillar that the clouds circled as she assumed that it was the current fight that was going on.

"That couldn't be AL... Right?" The cat asked the soldier.

"Either way, we should check it out. If that's DIO, then I do not by any circumstance want ot leave that altercation up to chance."

RUN!

The elite agent looked back to the frozen North before running towards the origin of the energy signature.

"Wait up!" Blinx yelled as he dash forward to try and keep up with the redhead.

WINDS!!!

GUST!!!

But as they moved, the strong winds came as clouds were instantly cleared with the pillar expanding, causing them to be blown back.

"?!"

SHATTER!

Cave suddenly skidded to a wall which stopped her path as Blinx skated towards a glass window.

"Oh-!" He was cut off as he smashed through the glass as it broke on contact.

---

SENSE!

"-Shit!!!" Nebula's eyes widened as he felt a second unnatural beacon of energy, comparable to DIO's as he broke out in a cold sweat.

"What's the matter?!" Taleia saw the panicked look on her friend's face as she asked him about the situation.

"The Satsui no Hado." He spoke.

"What about it!?" Avery wanted more to go off of.

"He's unleashed it." The CPU specified. His eyes had shrunk as the sheer spike in power from what AL had before was nightmare-inducing.

"What?! But didn't you warn him not to unless absolutely necessary?" Betty frantically recalled as Nebula nodded.

"Yes. But with the situation he was put in, AL was basically at death's doorstep." He contextualized the conditions that were required for him to even consider using the technique.

"So he had no other choice?" Domio pieced together.

"Exactly. The power he would have gotten by himself would have been able to put him on even grounds with DIO, no question but...!" He paused as he felt another spike in power.

GUSTS!!!

BARRIER!

WHOOSH!!!

He quickly put a field of repulsive gravity around the convoy as the bodies of the fallen, vehicles, and debris was blown away from the fierce output of energetic pressure that was the pushing factor that made the wind act that way.

"What was that?!" Moru yelled as she looked around, hyperactivity drawn across her eyes as they darted about.

"Burning Fever and the Satsui no Hado. He must have used both in tandem to ensure the maximum amount of power he could attain was reached." Nebula explained.

''There wouldn't be any... Side effects we should be aware of from him doing that, right?" Lady Wac was wary as she witnesses enough consequences for the night.

"If I knew, I would tell you all without question. The only thing about what I'm sensing right now that I know of is that DIO better starts regretting his life decisions and that all of Leanbox is at risk." Nebula truthfully stated.

"Why are we at risk? Is AL going to blow us up or something...?!" Poona asked at a slightly quicker speed, extenuating her concern.

"No... Not at first. At this point, AL should only care about reducing DIO's skull into a fine mist." The god somewhat eased her worries as he continued.

"If left unattended and that goal is achieved, alongside the possibility of him losing control during the fight, then his first instinct would be to seek out the nearest worthy fighter which would be Kars." Nebula explained as Taleia asked him another question.

"But what if he still hasn't done so, and DIO is still a threat to him?" She thought of the worst-case scenario.

"He'll slowly delve into madness and might end up wiping the island off the face of Gamindustri in his hatred fueled rage. Thus, I deem the form he's taken as Burning Hatred." The meme CPU sagely spouted from his mouth as he closed his eyes, unaware of the fright his comrades showed.

Avery was the first to speak as he wailed in abject horror.

"HE'S GONNA DO WHAT-"

---

"-Is that?!" Chika, now awoken, was watching the purple beam of light as she had some bandages wrapped around her forearm, right leg, and left thigh with some band-aids and medicinal alcohol over her shallow cuts and scrapes.

"DIO...?" A butler asked as he was wary of how it attracted the clouds.

"Who else? It couldn't be one of those gentlemen or that young lady that was here doing it, right? That would be simply preposterous!" A maid denied the prospect as Chika shook her head.

"It pains me to say it but... It has to be them. No other person in Leanbox, other than Lady Vert herself could do something like that." She thought back to Vergo with his eerily similar purple eyes before shaking her head, discarding the comparison out of denial.

"But that would mean that DIO has them beat or...!"

RUMBLE!...

The security guard wasn't able to finish his sentence as the ground began to shake as the people wobbled on the spot.

"Huh?"

DISPERSE!!!

WINDS!!!

The Oracle then looked to the pillar as she saw the purple object disperse as the clouds were cleared, a wave of strong wind rushing towards them.

"Oh crap! Everyone get inside, now!"

GUSTS!!!

SHATTER!

She warned as the staff members scrambled to reach inside the building, the last person inside being Chika herself as she barely managed to close the doors and lock them before the gusts came, immediately shattering the windows from their intensity.

"Ahh!" Everyone inside screamed as they were blasted back into multiple objects, paintings, and stairwells, as well as doors and pathways, somebody even falling down the flight of stairs that led to the basement.

"I've fallen and I can't get up!" A voice echoed from the lower chambers.

'What is this?! How is such power coming from down there?! This is bad!'

STAB!

Chika braced herself as she stuck her spear into the ground, using it as a support.

"The wind is getting to the Lady Green Heart's room!" A maid yelled as she told the Oracle.

Her eyes shrunk as she screeched in a frenzied panic.

"IT'S DOING WHAT-"

---

"-THE HELL ARE YOU!" DIO shouted, seeing a much more intimidating version of the human he was fodderizing not too long ago.

AL's eyes narrowed, as his aura rose off of him, maintaining a freakish appearance as it was bright red and oozed from him.

JET!!!

He slowly walked towards the bloodsucker, taking his first step in Burning Hatred as his foot made an indent in the ground, causing a booming noise that made DIO act without hesitation.

EXPLOSION!!!

SMOKE!!!

An SRSE beam was the invader's first move as the attack collided with the man's face and exploded, causing a pink light within the grey smoke cloud that completely blocked his figure.

DIO stayed hesitant to believe that it only took that one attack to defeat him.

STEP!

BOOM!

FWOOSH!!!

And he was right, as AL took his second step, immediately dispersing the clouds as his face was unscathed.

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!!!

"ZA WARUDO! Tomare yo tokio...!" He shouted before lunging to AL and making contact with his chest, freezing him as he kicked off of the ice statue as he fired multiple eye beams, The World throwing groups of knives as they circled the fire user

FREEZE!

KNIVES!!!

JETS!!!

DIO stepped back in shock before stopping time, approaching the martial artist and freezing the fellow before throwing multiple knives at him, as well as multiple SRSE beams, all suspended as they were concentrated on the unknowing opponent.

SKID!!!

"Toki wa ugokidasu."

TIME RESUMES!

This strategy was continued until his time had fully elapsed before he landed on the ground as he muttered the phrase.

STEP!

SHATTER!!!

AL quickly regained eye contact with DIO, ignoring the impending attacks as they were about to collide with him until he took another step forward, breaking the ice completely with one movement, yelling as his aura flared and the attacks were repelled from his sheer energy output.

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!"

SHINE!

BURST!!!

REPEL!!!

AL's voice boomed, becoming low to the point that it echoed as his red aura exploded around him in a spiky manner, constantly rising as it did.

The area became a bright red as he roared like a savage beast.

REDIRECT!

DESTROY!!!

The knives were instantly reduced to ashes as the beams were redirected from the combined power that his voice and the site displayed.

GUARD!!!

DIO implanted his hand into the ground to stay rooted as his skin was peeled back by the energetic pressure of the scream, The World standing in front of him to mitigate only enough to prevent him from being blown away.

"This is impossible! The amount of power he's gained is absurd! No one should be this much stronger than me! NO ONE!" The bloodsucker refused to believe that AL had surpassed him in the blink of an eye and he was dead set on proving that.

RUMBLE!!!...

EXPLOSIONS...!

AL stopped his yelling as the sound of exploding buildings could be heard in the background as the ground rumbled accordingly.

WALK!

PUNCH!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

The World rushed the man as he increased the pace of his walking, the booming stopping as the stand landed its first punch.

AL made no reaction as he continued to move, his walking enough to push the stand's cost away from his face.

STAND BARRAGE!!!

SHOCKWAVES!

The World glared at the man as it unloaded a furious barrage of blows all over the martial artist's body, causing countless shockwaves as a cloud of dust was being blown back from the fire user's position as he moved towards a shell shocked DIO.

"No... No...! No! I refuse to believe this!"

CLENCH!

BLEED...!

DIO was beginning to have a mental breakdown as he uprooted his hand, clenching it to the point where his one blood seeped through his closed fists.

JUMP!

FRONTFLIP!!!

BURN!!!

AXE KICK!!!

The hateful warrior grew tired of the sub-par massage he was receiving and cut it short by kicking off the ground and front flip ace kicking the stand in half with a silent Scorching Schneider.

BIFURCATE!!!

MIRROR!

The World was separated instantly, its surprised face the last thing it did before it faded away as DIO followed suit.

"AUGH!" He yelled as blood was spilled, before he pulled himself together immediately, mentally damaged from how easily he was cut down.

REGENERATE!

AL finally walked up to the downed vampire looking down at him with an intolerable expression, his face painted with disappointment, which made DIO seethe at him before yelling.

"You think you can treat me like an old ragdoll and live to tell the story?! I'll PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!"

ZOOM!!!

He yelled as he rushed with inhuman speed towards the dark fighter.

SKID!!!-

LEAP!

ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

DODGE!

The martial artist simply twisted to the side as DIO missed his lunge before kicking off the ground and went for a roundhouse kick that was ducked.

GRAB!

SWING!!!

THROW!

WOOSH!

REEL!

FEAR ENERGY!

The World reappeared as it grabbed its user by the hand before swinging him around and throwing him towards AL, as he prepped with a nasty fear-charged hook.

GRAB!!!

WINDWAVE!

AL's eyes widened as he raised a hand before grabbing DIO's as his own was coated in a reddish aura.

ABSORB!

CRUSH!!!

The fear energy that was concentrated in DIO's hand was suddenly absorbed into AL as his energy became slightly darker before crushing every bone in the vampire's appendage.

"!!!"

SLAM!

SLAM!!

SLAM!!!

SLAM!!!!

SLAM!!!!!

DIO felt the raw pain course through his arm before he was slammed onto the ground by AL, the process being. repeated multiple times as each consecutive slam was stronger than the last.

SWING!!!!

TWISTER!

THROW!!!

He ended the maneuver by swinging the vampire around to a speed that brought about a mini twister before throwing him into an empty apartment complex.

"AHH!"

"Gōhadōken."

BLAST!!!

DIO yelled before he saw the fighter charge a one-handed blast as he spoke casually.

A purple variation of the normal blue blast escaped his hands as it raced towards the vampire.

BFFT!-

EXPLOSION!!!

VOOM!

The bloodsucker had the hindsight to stop time and evade, but as he resumed it, the explosion behind him that annihilated the complex from the blast send him shooting forward.

"Shit!"

RUSH!!!

REEL!

GUT PUNCH!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

DIO cursed as he was sent towards AL who suddenly burst forward and reeled his fist and drove it into the creature of the night's stomach, the force of his explosion and his fist combining for the maximum amount of damage on DIO.

DIO felt as if his insides had been spiritually divorced from his body as vomit, blood, and spit were all ejected from his innards as his eyes veined and shrunk, the organs themselves being massively injured.

"URAG-!" He guttered, before vomiting.

WOOSH!!!

CRASH!!!

AL's face hardened as he pushed his fist forward, sending the internally disemboweled monster flying as he crashed through several buildings, first passing through the smoke of the complex, before crashing through a multitude of office buildings.

JUMP!

JUMP!

JUMP!

The fighter immediately pursued DIO as he jumped onto a roof before leaping from building top to building top, quickly gaining on the vampire.

TELEPORT!

He quickly sensed the vampire's exact position before beelining towards it, crashing through multiple structures like they were made out of paper as he used the Ashura Senku to close the gap near-instantly as he seemingly teleported.

He then proceeded to wind up another attack as DIO was still too disoriented to actually counter or evade, still attempting the regeneration of the damage done to his insides.

"...!"

"Gōshōryuken!"

UPPERCUT!!!

SHOCKWAVE!!!

BOOM!

WHOOSH!!!

SHATTER!!!

He noticed AL's presence behind him, but his train of thought was cut short as an uppercut to the back of the skull was the attack that physically stopped it.

ZOOM!

A lateral showcase blew all buildings in the sector away as the ice there was instantly shattered down to the road on the street. DIO felt his skull cave in as his brain was scrambled, before being shot up as he was silent, his vocal capabilities being stripped from him.

BOOST!!!

SPIN!!!

GUST!!!

WHOOSH!!!

AL flew to meet his opponent, twisting his body with a foot stuck out and his arms folded as he caused the ain't around him to drag with his foot, forming a huge mass of wind as he approached the vampire.

REGENERATE...!

DIO finally had the time to regain his body's functionality once his healing factor kicked in, causing his battered body to regress to its prime state.

"He's a monster!..."

ZOOM!!!

DIO remarked, finally realizing the shitty situation he was in a she looked down and saw the natural disaster of a move that was heading towards him.

GRAB!!!

THROW!!!

He wouldn't back down from the attack, his pride denying the possibility as he used his stand to stop his ascent before it grabbed both of his legs and swung him vertically before throwing him downwards towards it.

FEAR AURA!!!

GLOW!!!

He then spiked his fear energy as it glowed a dark gold around his body, his fist glowing a light yellow from the sheer concentration as black particles streaked from the attack.

ZOOM!!!

DIO used his stand as extra punching power, its first translucently overlapping his own as he yelled out his battle cry as his aura made him zoom through the air as a gold streak with a black outline.

ゴゴゴゴ!

"UREEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY!!!" He yelled as his pupils contracted, the tension rising once again as his demeanor became menacing.

FWOOSH!!!

AL kept quiet before his leg began to heat up as he combined his flames with his technique as he shouted the maneuver he was about to perform, rushing as a black and red blur with a streak of flames behind him.

BURN!!!

"Nenshō Tatsumaki Zankyukyaku!"

KICK!

PUNCH!

CLASH!!!

MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE!!!

His voice echoed as his leg busted into an inferno of flames as his shin and DIO's glowing knuckles connected in a manner that shook the entire cardinal sector of Leanbox.

SHATTER!!!

The remaining ice in the sector up to the frozen wave that started it all was instantly shattered as the likes of Cave and the NLSS were staggered by the environmental change.

"!!?"

SLAM!!!

Cave reacted as she fell landing on her feet.

The convoy that housed the unconscious civilians hit a nasty bump from the shattered ice.

TREMORS!!!

CLEAR!!!

WAVER!

The shockwave from that attack was enough to cause the entire island to tremble from their might as the clouds that were sparsely located were completely dispersed as the night sky became clear, almost wavering the light that Brave Heart put up.

PUSH!

CLEAVE!!!

The two clashed for a brief moment before AL's leg began to push back DIO's first before cleaving right through the hand as his forearm was soon to follow.

"NANI?!"

CLEAVE!!!

BLEED!!!

The creature of the night yelled as his upper arm was next to go as both he and his stand felt the pain as both if their arms were being cut through like butter and a hot knife as his blood exploded from the wound.

KICK!!!

BIFURCATE!

BLAST!!!

AL finished this move as he kicked clean through the shoulder, collarbone's, and opposite shoulder of the vampire as DIO's head and shoulders were separated from his body before firing a purple Flaring Blazer from his sole, destroying his lower half.

BOOST!!!

FLYING KICK!!!

"Tenma Kuujinkyaku!"

BOOM!!!

The attack sailed down as AL followed up with a flying kick by using his elbow as a counteracting force to his foot blast before aiming right for DIO's face.

"ZA WARUDO!"

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!

AL's footprint became a new accessory to DIO's face, skull and brain as he was shot down towards the blast before he was right upon the orb of hatred when he paused time.

TENTACLES!

EXTEND!

PULL!

The bloodsucker quickly sprouted some fleshy tentacles from his severed top half as he extended them and pulled himself to the mearest building before resuming time.

"Toki... Toki wa... Ugokidasu...!"

TIME RESUMES!

He wheezed out, his face burning with agonizing pain.

EXPLOSION!!!

WHOOSH!

The blast hit the ground as it exploded, destroying the skyscraper it happened to collide with, as well as the entire city block as DIO was launched further from the blast being nearby.

REGENERATE!

DIO quickly put all his time and effort into regenerating his body as it sprouted, the top half of his tank top onesie gone as his pants and shoes remained.

GRAB!

"!!!"

BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK-BAK!!!

His body was fully regenerated just in time for AL to appear and grab him by the neck, ramming him through several more buildings as he speeds bagged his face before halting their movement as he was choke slammed into the side of a Burger Queen establishment before dragging him up the wall, back into the air.

CRASH!

CRASH!

CRASH!

CRASH!

SLAM!!!

DIO's vocals were silenced as he was pummeled as crashed through multiple structures.

DRAG!!!

ZOOM!

VANISH!-

AXEHANDLE!!!

"Unh!-"

"Tenha Gou Zankuu!"

BLAST!!!

EXPLOSION!

DIO's body was then dragged up the wall and into the sky before vanishing, only to reappear with a purple flaming sledgehammer that lead into a Tenha Gou Zankuu.

DISAPPEAR!

PALM STRIKE!!!

"Fuck!-"

DISAPPEAR!

DIVE PUNCH!!!

The vampire's descent was halted by a Tenha palm strike to his solar plexus as AL disappeared in a blur of lines and reappearing to execute the move before repeating the maneuver and appearing from the side as a rogue Sekikeiken dive punched him in the jaw.

VANISH!-

DARK BOOM!!!

SHOCKWAVE!...

PHASE!-

DARK PISTON KICK!!!

SHOCKWAVE!...

DISAPPEAR!-

The bloodsucker spun like a top from that blow before it was reciprocated with an amethyst Vulcan Knuckle, into a violet Volcanic Piston, before besting the bricks off of the vampire with a significantly more violent version of his Vulcan Barrage.

DARK AURA!

AL reappeared above the creature of the night before countless blurry fists emerged with a dark and furious purple aura around them before they rushed at DIO at speeds his body couldn't hope to react to, well over thirty thousand times the speed of sound.

"...!-''

DARK BARRAGE!!!

DARK BARRAGE!!!

DARK BARRAGE!!!

"UBASHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

DIO could only stare at the fists approaching him in slow motion before they sped up to real-time as he felt the first, second, third, and thirty thousandth fist collide instantaneously as AL roared in fury.

The vampire felt his skin burn from the effects of the punches as well a the stinging pain that came with them as his body was becoming burnt and broken with each punch.

"Z-"

DARK PUNCH!!!

"!!!"

He attempted to stop time to escape the attacks but before he could even get out the first syllable, a swift burning straight was sent to his teeth, shutting his trap and door out of the technique.

PIERCE!

GRAB!!!

"Ack!-"

ZOOM!!!

DIO was cut off before the move was finished as AL dug his fingers into his back, getting a solid grip on his spine as he descended.

The flames in AL's eyes burned bright as his body gained a red aura, and yelled out the skill that he was going to perform right before he hit the ground, DIO was powerless to stop the attack.

"Kongou Kokuretsuzan!"

GRIP!!!

SLAM!!!

LIGHTNING BOLT!-

EXPLOSION!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

TREMOR!!!...

The hateful warrior gripped the middlemost vertebrae before slamming DIO into the ground, a purple bolt of lightning striking down the spot that they crashed down on, as the lightning bolt exploded in a blast of energy before racing away in all directions as a shockwave of energy that easily spread throughout the entire sector of Leanbox.

The vampire was promptly reduced to a pile of blood as his spine was the only solid piece left of him.

FLIP!-

REGENERATE!

AL stood there, waiting for him to regenerate as he flipped the bones that made up DIO's back in his hand.

DIO was now shirtless, his tank top finally destroyed from the previous attack as he saw that AL possessed his spine as he toyed with it.

"H-Ha... H-H-Hah... W-What?!" He noticed the disrespect as AL even punched some holes in it to play a tune.

It sounded like the same tune you'd hear if you went to a circus-

Oh.

Ouch.

"He's mocking me!" DIO snarled as he realized the symbolism of the song.

BFFT!

SUMMON!

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!

"Za Warudo," DIO spoke as he and The World rushed the man and punched, kicked, and assaulted the stationary opponent as they used tens of seconds for this effort.

BARRAGE!!!

STAND BARRAGE!!!

The bloodsucker summoned his stand as they stopped time before barraging the martial artist with many attacks.

KNIFE!

CHANNEL...!

GLOW!!!

When their time was almost up, DIO took out a knife and supercharged them with his fear energy, augmenting its properties to absurd levels of potency as it glowed from his influence.

BYPASS!!!

STAB!!!

He then gave the blade to his stand, which used its ghostly and psychic physiology to make the knife intangible alongside itself before stabbing the blade directly into AL's heart.

STAB!!!

STAB!!!

STAB!!!

JET!!!!

DIO then cracked a smile. He slowly started to chuckle as he took out more knives, repeating the process as much as he could in the remaining amount of time, firing SRSE beams towards the butt of the hilt to push the weapons in deeper as time resumed.

One in AL's neck, one in his skull, and one opposite to the wound in his heart, piercing his long instead.

"Toki wa ugokidasu."

TIME RESUMES!

STAB!!!

STAB!!!

STAB!!!

STAB!!!

Time resumed as DIO quickly went back to his previous position.

AL felt his body move back, surprising him as nothing DIO did up to that point even made him budge until now.

He may have been improving throughout the fight, but that seemed like a long shot since if that were the case, it would have happened by now.

But if he was able to keep up with the likes of an enraged Domio, and survive Kars, he might not be wrong with that speculation.

DIO's smile widened as his opponent had finally been somewhat staggered, being pushed back by his blows.

But his smile began to fade as he continued to walk towards the silver-haired invader, beating the spine in his open palm as he walked towards him.

ゴゴゴゴ!

Menacingly.

"But... Your wounds! Why aren't you in pain?! You should be paralyzed with insurmountable fear!" He shouted at the hatred-fueled martial artist.

"..." AL remained quiet before he began to speak.

"Let me ask you something, DIO," AL spoke for the first time as DIO flinched at how unnerving it sounded from his usual tone.

"What the hell?" DIO reeled.

"How is one supposed to experience the feeling know as fear..."

DARK AURA!!!

DIM!...

He began, the glowing knives dimming as his aura surfaced, becoming darker as the knives became their regular obsidian form.

"...!"

DARKEN!...

DIO was at a loss for words as the knives became completely stripped of their energy as AL's aura drew darker, to a light maroon.

"If their heart is filled with nothing but the dreadful emotion known as absolute hatred."

EJECT!

HEAL...!

He finished before flexing out all the knives, the blades being nothing more than really sharp knives as his wounds healed themselves.

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

RUSH!!!

THWACK!

BOOM!

DIO roared as he rushed the opponent only to be struck across the face with his one spine.

"Ptoo!-"

SMACK!!!

BOOM!

DIO spat out some blood as it escaped his nose as well, AL following up with a counter slash that smacked the bloodsucker in the opposite direction.

"Grgh!-"

BOOST!!!

SLAM!-

DECAPITATE!

The vampire recoiled once again as the martial artist flipped the spinal column to the opposite side before channeling fire through the vertebrae which made the holes he punched in expel purple flames, creating a rocket-powered bone slugger as it hit DIO so hard his head went flying from his shoulders.

SLUMP!...

FALL!-

FLARE!!!

SWING!

SMASH BAT!!!

GORY EXPLOSION!

The vampire's body staggered before falling like dead weight as AL timed its descent to spin around and wind up a monstrous seeing that made an iconic bat sound from the famous video game fighting tournament crossover series as the flames roared with power.

The body instantly exploded in a show of bodily organs, blood, bone shards, and fabric as AL was drenched in the blood of his opponent.

DASH!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

BOOM!

CRASH!!!

He soon raced for the head in a spring that made his body seemingly elongate for a moment before the distortion corrected itself as he made a shock wave that blew back all of the buildings around them, making them tumbleweed away from the epicenter.

DIO's head regained its senses after being struck with his spine so hard that he was temporarily stunned from the strike.

TELEPORT!

"Nani?!"

BICYCLE KICK!!!

SHOCKWAVES!

CRASH!!!!!

He was about to regenerate when AL teleported below him and bicycle kicked his head thousands of meters into the air, sending shockwaves as every structure in a 10 block radius instantly broke down.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

VANISH!

REAPPEAR!

BURST!!!

DIO screamed as his severed head rotated at sub-relativistic speeds before AL reappeared, waiting for him to reach as he channeled his dark energy into the bone bat he utilized his opponent's spinal column as.

FLARE!!!

GLOW!!!

His maroon aura returned to him as his bony club expelled purple flames from its holes as it was engulfed in the same aura before it glowed a bright light red.

RAISE...!

SWING!!!

He then raised the makeshift weapon over his head as he swung the bone weapon downwards.

TENTACLES!

WRAP!!!

GLOW!

The vampire saw the stature that AL took as he tried to wrap his tentacles around his head to form a meaty and slimy barrier as it glowed as he channeled his feet energy into it.

SUMMON!

GUARD!!!

He then summoned the arms of The World to guard and provide an additional frontier of defense as they crossed.

SPIKE!

POWERFUL SHOCKWAVE!!!

MASSIVE CRATER!!!

All his preparation proved futile as the bone overpowered the effects of the fees energy that the tentacles were concentrated with, not to mention snapping the dark stand's arms like a pair of twigs.

SPLATTER!

...

DIO felt his head flatten into a bloody splatter as a crater the size of a lake was immediately formed as everything within the vicinity was reduced to rubble and dust.

REGENERATE!!!

The bloodsucker promptly regenerated to his shirtless self.

"Bloody hell! This can't be happening! I AM DIO!!! I've defeated the Joestar bloodline! This plebian will not be my executor!" He fumed in indignation as he looked up.

"..."

BOOST!!!

WHOOSH!!!

...

...

...

HALT!...

AL looked down from his height before zooming further up, until he was tens of thousands of meters above all fo Leanbox, being able to see some of the mainland of Gamindustri from that altitude.

The darkened martial artist looked down on the destroyed city.

No section of Leanbox remained completely unscathed, as the northern quadrant while the least damaged, had still been ravaged by the mind-controlled minions of DIO as many buildings were structurally rendered unstable at best.

The western sector looked like something straight out of an apocalyptic Hollywood film, property damage and environmental destruction rivaled by only the fiercest of natural disasters as craters, rubble, and dust decorated the battleground.

The eastern sector, the one they had currently in, started to resemble its cardinal opposite with AL's beatdown to the egotistical vampire as he looked at the collateral damage present in that area as well.

And the southern sector had been left alone long enough for the minions to substantially tear it down, as many fires, minor floods, gas hazards, bombings, shootouts, and all-around encompassing anarchy had been taking place as the minions had the least amount of problems to deal with, the NLSS still design with the other sectors.

AL's gaze hardened as he pinpointed the bloodsucker's location as he smirked for the first time since he entered the form, his sights set on the invader's complete destruction.

DIO felt a shock of killing intent as he looked up and stared in horror at the sheer murderous intention he felt from the heavens.

"He... H-He's a demon!"

SHINE...!

CONDENSE!

The creature of the night labeled as he jumped to his feet, looking up at what soon became a purple sky as it slowly concentrated to where AL had positioned himself above the island.

AURA!!!

CHARGE!!!

STANCE!!!

AL got into a stance as he faced towards where DIO was, his anterior parallel to the ground as he charged the move.

GLIMMER!...

ORB OF DARKNESS!!!

The maroon aura returned as it shot up as he powered up his energy output for the technique he was about to perform. His hands cupped to his sides as the environment became purple before concentrating into the middle of his cupped hands as he put them beside him.

GLOW!

ゴゴゴゴ!

A purple energy sphere was created and expanded to the point where it threatened to burst out of the martial artist's hands as he began concentrating his KI into the technique.

AL's eyes became completely red as he charged an attack that would without question obliterate the entirety of Leanbox if it hit the ground.

Not that he currently cared. The Satsui no Hado altered his mind to only care about the fight, and the death of his opponent, consequences are damned.

Kars felt the energy output as he too realized this fact as he stood atop another building, watching the purple light in the sky becoming more and more apparent.

"Has that human finally lost his mind? Something of that caliber will surely reduce this island to nothing. If he truly is willing to destroy this place, then I may have underestimated his conviction for this battle." The alien admitted as he spoke out his past assumption as he surveyed the situation.

DIO overheard what the supposed 'freak of nature' discussed as he realized the severity of this impending attack.

"Destroy the island? He'll do my mission for me, but the downside is that I'll die alongside these pesky insects..." He thought about the consequences for a bit.

"Tch. I can't believe I'm resorting to this, but I'll have to save myself, and by proxy my targets so I can finish them off myself."

FEAR SPIKE!!!

FWOOSH!!!...

GLOW...!

He decided.

"That damn ingrate! Forcing me to do an act of misguided altruism. He'll pay dearly." The vampire snarled as his eyes glowed, the ground he stood upon beginning to quake as rings of dust formed around his feet, his aura returning in a violent spike.

"And the vampire decides to challenge the match-ending move? This is something to behold. I'd honestly believe it more if he tucked tail and escaped with his ability." Kars laughed as DIO barked at him.

"YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" The bloodsucker roared, causing the Ultimate Life Form to cackle.

"kars laugh.mp3"

CHARGE...!

CHARGE...!

CHARGE...!

He began the process of charging his SRSE beam, but to the extent that even the one he used against Kars would pale, if it meant that AL would be utterly defeated, ignoring the drawbacks from such a brazen approach.

"Your attempts to defeat me will be proven MUDA!"

SHINE!!!

DIO shouted to the heavens as his eyes glowed a dark pink.

---

"BY THE GODDESSES!" Mr. Mūten awoke from his slumber in a dreadful sweat as his face was plagued by the power he felt.

It was always some disturbing time in the night that this happened event since his grandson left.

"That energy... Who is that...?!"

SWITCH ON!

The old master got out of his bed as he stood in his night garments, as he got to his television and switched it on.

He sensed where the energy was coming from, and after using his phone to pull up the map function, he deduced the rough coordinates to be towards the island nation of Leanbox.

"Leanbox? With such a powerful energy signature? I really hope they are not there with their friends."

SWITCH!

SWITCH!

SWITCH!

SWITCH!

SWITCH!

He said as he flipped the channel to the Leanboxian news channels, only for them to have technical difficulties, or just not have a station at all, the black screen being proof enough.

"Their channels are down, not good." He sweated some more after realizing that fact.

He then sensed for his students' energy, but only found Nebula's in the vicinity of Leanbox, alongside some others that varied in strength.

The strongest one had a timid feel as the weakest felt completely human.

"I'll have to call Nebula and ask him about the situation down there..."

SPEEDIAL!

He decided as he dialed up his somewhat responsible student's number, praying that it had service despite the stations being kaput.

---

"So what you're saying, is that you and AL were taught a technique capable of destroying ALL OF GAMINDUSTRI?!" Taleia screeched as she absorbed the off-screen exposition- I mean, explanation he had to give the group after he told them that they might die.

Well, might be a best-case scenario.

"In theory! No one besides, Mr. Mūten and AL's dad actually came close or reached that level of power. I mean, my dad has it too, but he doesn't really... Use it... Like me!" Nebula pointed him a thumb to himself as he smiled.

"And that's supposed to make us feel better?! The one person who IS using it is going to blow up the island if left alone for too long!" The agent reminded the god of his words as his smile faded.

"It's not like he's going to do it right now! We still have time until that happens-"

SHINE...!

KILLING INTENT!

He said as he checked the door and looked up to see a purple blip that made his heart sink into his bowels.

"He is going to blow up Leanbox." The words no one in the convoy in their worst night terrors wanted to hear were said by Nebula.

FAINT...!

CATCH!

Betty fainted as Avery barely managed to catch her, putting down the device as her ghostly white plates for eyes stared into space.

"But... But... This can't be happening!..." Lady Wac refused to believe the fact that the CPU had stated.

Mister Chief looked outside and saw the blip as well, before questioning the only person that could gauge its power.

"How much time do we have until AL fires his skill?" He held his sign with a firm grip.

"Not much." The adventuring god replied before his phone rang.

"Don dokodokodoko Don dokodokodoko

Don dokodokodoko Don dokodokodoko-

Happy, urepii, yoropiku ne!~

Hirephanto Green, soko da!

Mata mata yarasete itada kimashitan~!

Silver Chariotu, todoita!!!

KIZAMU ZE HAMON, HAMON NO BEAT!!!~

MAGICIAN'S RED! MOETSUKIRO!

Hora hora iku ze! Kocchi da yo!~

STAR PLATINUM! Hmm! HAH!"

The CPU's phone rang as he checked the person who was calling him as his cell vibrated with the intensity of a speedster.

"That is the stupidest ringtone I've ever heard in my entire life." Avery facepalmed, managing to crack a smile as he sweated bullets from the situation.

"No way!... This sounds amazing! What is it?" Domio danced to the sounds of anime characters yelling out absurd shit as the witch smirked.

"It's called weeb trash." Lady Wac said with a trollish laugh, not meaning her words.

"Aren't we weeb trash?" Poona asked.

"No, we're fanfiction. Totally different." Taleia distinguished the two forms of entertainment media.

"But this fanfic is based on a video game series that's illustrated to resemble a visual novel anime setting. Would that not classify us as such?" Master Chief questioned the validity of the distinction.

"But it doesn't have an anime, now does it?" The agent asked.

"I think it does, actually-" Moru was cut off.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but can you guys stop being meta for 5 minutes. Sensei is calling me! I don't know how since the telecommunication systems should be structurally violated by now, but that's beside the point." He quieted the others down as he answered the call.

"DAISAN BU KAN!-"

"Hello? Nebula, can you hear me?" The old man asked his student as the god quickly responded.

"Mr. Mūten! What's the situation? You don't usually call me on my adventures unless something important happened... Did the toilet explode during a thunderstorm again?" The CPU asked.

"What?- No! I called to ask what the source of that power was! Also, are you two ok? How about those friends of yours, might I add? Are they doing well?" He asked with genuine concern as the old master needed answers.

"Uh... I'm good. The girls are in Lastation right now, and AL..." He paused, sweating as Mr. Mūten pressured the boy.

"What is the state of my grandson, Nebula." The martial arts master interrogated.

"He... Tapped into the Satsui no Hado and is currently charging something capable of wiping the Land of Green Pastures off the face of the planet." The adventurer spoke quickly as the phone went silent.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The uncomfortable and unnerving silence made Nebula anxious as the others looked in equal anticipation and wariness.

"Sensei...?" The god asked. The silence was loud, even with a crisis-inducing battle outside.

"Nebula. Has AL used his incomplete transformation with the Satsui no Hado?" The master inquired.

"Yes."

"Go there and stop him! Whoever he's fighting does not have the power to challenge the attack he's about to fire! If that thing hits the ground, the nation is finished!" The elder warrior stressed as the blue-haired fighter reacted.

"Oh shit! But how?! Even in HDD, I'd be nowhere near his level of power! I doubt the reaching him from within trope of going to work on a hellbent force of nature!" The adventurer questioned the method.

"...Use your shares! The positive frequency they emit should be enough to cancel the influence the Satsui no Hado has on his mind!" He thought of, remembering Nebula telling him about his godhood.

"Wait, how does he even know about that?" Avery was confused.

This was mirrored with the conscious cast of characters.

"I read some information about the CPUs after Nebula told me about his situation. It's not much to go off of, but we don't have much after it, so go for broke my student." Mr. Mūten wished his pupil luck in calming his grandson.

"Right."

GLOW!

TRANSFORM!

Nebula said before transforming. He toned down the process so instead of a pillar, a light glowed around his body as he was consumed by it before blue digital effects surfaced around him as Brave Heart returned to the scene.

"Wait, you can transform like that?" Taleia asked her ex-boyfriend, unaware of the more subtle variation.

"You think us CPUs just transform like that all the time? If I did, I'd just flashbang, everyone, in here." The warrior god spoke as he then inspected his condition.

"I'm not exactly at full power, but 60% should be enough to do what I gotta do. I'll call you back when this is all over, Sensei." The CPU told the man on the opposite side as he heard the voice respond to him.

"Godspeed, Nebula." The elder said his final words before hanging up.

"I'm off. Relevancy, here I come!"

JUMP!

The CPU yelled as he jumped out of the vehicle.

"But what about us? You can't just go alone! That's impractical, not very strategic, and not to mention you'd be hogging all the screentime!" Lady Wac complained.

"Oh really? Who here has done any lasting damage to DIO?" The god raised a brow.

Silence ensued.

"Me?" Domio raised his hand.

GRAVITATE!

ATTACH!

"Whoa!" The child yelled as he was his father's new backpack.

Domio suddenly felt himself gravitate towards his foster father before clinging onto his back like back in the outskirts.

"Nebula put him down! I'm not going to let you carry an untrained child back onto the battlefield." Taleia demanded.

"Those words would have some weight in them if I wasn't a CPU, and if you didn't already let him tag along when we were rescuing Chika." Brave Heart. brought up as he summoned his processors.

"That was different and you know it!" She justified.

SUMMON!

"About as different as two discs of the same game. Just because multiple CPUs and trained warriors were present does not make it any different from right now."

ATTRACTION!

Nebula responded as he coated the boy in an attractive field of gravity to keep him from falling off.

"He might die right now!" She rebutted.

"You could say that about every combat situation since I adopted him. This time will be no different." The deity responded as he floated.

"Grr!... You better bring him back in one piece!" She warned.

"Yes, honey. Just make sure to take the casserole out of the oven when I'm back." He taunted as she fumed before he blasted towards the battle.

"Fuck off!"

ZOOM!!!

She shook her fist as he flew away, a trollish grin on his face as Domio felt mildly uncomfortable.

"Why is his CPU form like this." She facepalmed as a sigh escaped her lips, massaging her temples.

"The goddesses' personality changes, but I'm guessing you didn't expect his change to be so... Provoking?" The witch asked her fellow colleague.

"Exactly." She agreed.

"Look on the bright side. He might be an ass, but he's going to save our ass, so it cancels out to an extent." Mister Chief reminded.

"I guess you're right, Mister Chief, sir." The agent nodded as she looked at him.

"It ended with quite the provocative statement, didn't it?" Betty, who had recovered from her fainting spell, wiggled her brows as she grinned suggestively.

"Shut." The agent gave a snide look to her inferior officer as she looked away as the blonde felt a heated glare on her person.

---

FLOAT!...

DARK AURA!!!

"This is the end,"

CHARGE!!!

STATIC!

AL told the vampire as he fully charged the Messatsu Gou Hadou, the orb in his hands having a dark purple center and a bright purple exterior as white and purple static danced around the orb.

The amount of KI that had been zoned into the area that was his aura ball was able to be felt from the entirety of Gamindustri as he was finally ready to fire it.

The light could be seen from Planeptune and Lastation as a purple blip, easily mistakable for a star from such a distance, but if one could sense energies, that would be no star.

FEAR BURST!!!

FLEX!!!

"UREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!"

Meanwhile, on the ground, or rather what was left of the surface, DIO's eyes were a very dark magenta as fear energy violently flared from his eyes as he roared, his aura being the size of a building as his muscles for the first time veined as his hair flapped wildly.

BLEED!...

BLEED!...

DIO bared his fangs as he pushed his body to the absolute limit, beginning to sacrifice his life force to channel his fear energy beyond his natural capabilities, even beyond what he used against Kars as he began to bleed through his nose and mouth.

LEVITATE!

FLARE!

Structures and boulders rose from the ground as flares of fest energy raced from the cracks in the ground that sprouted from DIO's feet as he was dead set on defeating AL.

FLY!

Kars felt the energies' influence as he started to distance himself to get a better view of what was about to happen.

"This is where the fun begins." The alien talked to himself as he was hyped for the clash, even if he wouldn't say it so blatantly.

He distanced his person from the two until he believed he was a safe distance from the initial shock wave that would occur when the two clashed.

He observed with a grin as he felt that it was not much longer until the two powers initiated their attacks.

ZOOM!-

SONIC BOOM!

He then heard something approaching him as he looked to the side.

The blue CPU and his spawn cosplaying as his backpack had arrived on the scene.

"Kars." The CPU began.

"Brave Heart." The alien responded.

The two did not establish eye contact as they began conversing, Domio warily looking at the vampire having an aneurysm and the fighter having a hatred-induced episode.

"Mind giving me a hand on stopping those two?" The adventuring god tried to enlist Kars' assistance.

"Hah. No." He denied the reaching hand that was Nebula's ask for assistance. "This is entertainment gold. Why would I ever think about interrupting it?" The Ultimate Life Form elaborated his reason for his decision.

"Because if you do, you can get a free match with me as compensation?" Brave Heart offered.

"And what puts you above the battle potential of those two?" He chortled.

"If you want to find out, I suggest you lend me your aid."

ZOOM!!!

The god smirked before flying towards AL.

"..."

'Best to mull it over and see if he can only prattle before I make a decision.' Kars stayed silent, thinking to himself as he stayed flapping his wings.

ATTRACTION!

VOOM!-

STOP!!!

Brave Heart used his Attraction ability as well as his flight speed to close the distance between him and AL in a fraction of a second at Mach 5000.

"AL!"

HISS!

The god shouted as his best friend looked him dead in the eyes, bared his fangs, hissed, and then looked back down to the vampire.

"Bruh."

TRANSFER!

The deity deadpanned before sticking out his palm and channeling his share energy, not wasting any more time trying to reach out to the friend made fanatic for violence.

CHANGE!

The dark martial artist's aura began to react to the input of share energy as it went from an evil maroon to a dark violet as the blue translucent beam like sure washed over his friend.

ALTER!

His eyes also were altered from their red flames to an amethyst variant. The same could be said for his chest flame.

"Is it working...?" Domio asked his dad.

"Well, he went from strawberry flavor to grape flavor so at least something's happening." He told his kin.

"How do we know we're doing something good and not just giving him more empower to kill all of us?" The Loweean asked.

"Because we're not all dead yet." Brave Heart gave a hard to deny answer.

"I... Huh. That's actually a really good reason, Neb." Domio nicknamed his foster dad for the first time.

"Yup."

"ZA WARUDO!!!"

The god responded as DIO screeched from below.

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!

Kars, Nebula, Domio, and AL all looked towards him before the vampire stopped time.

TIME RESUMES!!!

FEAR LASER!!!

BURST!!!

BOOM!!!

DIO continued to charge his Space Ripper Stingy Eyes weigh in his now 40 seconds of time stop as he then resumed time after his allotted time ran out before firing the gargantuan blast, his eyes now bloodshot from the over-stimulation of fear energy

The enormous pink and black eye beam rippled the space around it before it headed towards the trio that floated above them as Kars reacted with jubilation as the ground around the bloodsucker exploded with power.

"And we're off!" He yelled, looking up to see what AL's response to that attack was now that his CPU ally was interesting in the course of the fight.

"OH SHIT!" Nebula yelled as he saw the attack head towards them, as AL finally gained some semblance of humanity as the distress of a person close to him pulled him out enough to think coherently.

"Nebula?... Domio...?..." He looked to the two beside him as his eyes widened before hearing the doomsday blast that approached them before furrowing his brows as he launched his blast back.

"No...! Messatsu Gou Hadou!"

DARK BEAM!!!

SCREECH!!!

WIND WAVE!!!

The half-conscious warrior yelled as he sent the more condensed, yet more powerful purple with a whitish center blast downwards as his release had an audible screeching effect as it nearly blew the two next to him away as Brave Heart had to use his gravity shield to divert the wind pressure.

"AAH!" The boy on the god's back yelled.

"Baro Barrier!"

BARRIER!

The CPU yelled with shut eyes before soon opening them as the gravity repelled the intense winds.

"And the somewhat sensitized underdog lets off a fearsome retort of an attack!"

ZOOM!!!

VOOM!!!

CLASH!-

DEAFENING BOOM!

FEAR SHOCKWAVE!!!

Kars provided some commentary as he saw the change in AL thanks to Nebula.

The two attacks approached and collided, before causing a shockwave that was loud to the point that it deafened the hearing of all nearby for a brief moment before being almost blown away by the unearthly force generated as the wind wave that came with it was mixed with fear energy, nullifying anything weaker than its output.

BOOM!!!

WHOOSH!!!

CRASH!!!

EXPLOSION!

Brave Heart and Domio were rocketed back by the shockwave, sending them into an underground parking lot as the CPU's powers had been momentarily nullified from the shockwave.

BOOM!!!

CRASH!!!!!

CRASH!!!!!

CRASH!!!!!

CRASH!!!!!

CRASH!!!!!

CRASH!-

EXPLOSION!!!

Kars was punted through building after building before stopping when he hit a power plant and promptly exploded within its confines, before cutting off the power in the city.

OVERPOWER!

AL and DIO contested as they pushed their respective attacks to overcome the other, and AL was beginning to overpower the vampire.

SUMMON!

RUSH!

STAND BARRAGE!...

The bloodsucker quickly sent his stand to attempt to damage AL whilst he was concentrated on the beam struggle to let him gain an unfair advantage.

But realized that the martial artist's sheer durability would negate any attack from the stand, and it would stay that way as long as he was using the Satsui no Hado.

"You'll have to do better than that, DIO!"

BURST!!!

AL taunted as he poured more energy into the attack, pitting the vampire into a corner.

DEPRESS!

DIO flinched as his feet sank into the ground as he felt his body throb with pain from the stress and strain that he was under to be pushed back.

STAND BARRAGE!-

STAGGER!

The World also staggered as his barrage ceased.

AL was only a single push from completely destroying DIO as he got ready to unleash the rest of his power ro finish off the invader.

But DIO still had one trick up his sleeve.

ASCEND!!!

ZOOM!!!

HALT!...

He directed The World to fly as high up as it possibly could, the phantom ascending tens of thousands of meters, before stopping about 100,000 meters above the surface of the planet, edging on the Kármán line as he could go no further.

ZOOM!!!

CORKSCREW!

It then looked back down, seeing Leanbox as a small mass on the entirety of Gamindustri before beginning to descend, putting both of his fists forward before rapidly twisting in a corkscrew motion as he accelerated.

DIVE!!!

ACCELERATE!

The stand accelerated faster and faster as he approached AL, his speed soon becoming subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic, relativistic, and soon reaching and surpassing the speed of light in its Hail Mary dive bomb.

AL was about to release his final push as he gloated.

"The flames of battle invite you to the flames of hell! DIE!-"

RUSH!!!

DIVE PUNCH!!!

BYPASS!!!

IMPALE!!!

The martial artist roared as he was about to push DIO into his grave.

VOMIT!!!

Before feeling his chest cavity being erased instantaneously, as blood rushed up to his throat and out of his mouth, not to mention through the wound.

"GWAK!!!"

BLEED!!!

"WRYYYYYYYY!!!"

PUSH!!!

OVERPOWER!

The fighter vomited the red substance as his purple beam was beginning to lose as he no longer poured any power into it as DIO took the chance to put everything he had left to push the attack back.

FADE!

REAPPEAR!...

...GRIN!

The now wounded martial artist felt his strength diminish as The World returned to DIO with a smile, mirroring its master's emotion of joy of his last-ditch effort providing some results.

"In the battle of brawn you might have me beaten, but I've outsmarted you in the struggle of wit! AND FOR THAT, YOU SHALL MEET YOUR END!!!"

OVERPOWER!!!

PUSH!!!

The vampire roared as the beam was now upon AL as his hands were all that separated the dark fighter with defeat.

"Damn you!"

DARK FLAME BEAM!!!

PUSH!!!

AL cursed as he gruffed after, some blood escaping his mouth before adding his flame element as he put what he had left at the moment into the beam, creating the Shankunetsu Gou Hadou in a fit of desperation to put the slimy vampire down for good.

CLASH!!!

CLASH!!!

CLASH!!!

The once purple and white blast was now orange with an interior black as it gave AL enough breathing room to be back in a solid place as the beams bet halfway once again.

"N-NANI?!" DIO's face went from one of satisfaction to one of scorn as the chances of victory he worked for were swept under him by the same means he used to get it in the first place.

He had no more energy to expend and AL was clinging on to what he had left just to sustain the equalizer he just made.

...!

...!

...!

The two blasts were becoming unstable as they formed a dangerously potent contact nexus, the energies becoming unstable.

'At this rate, the energies won't hold up for much longer! It'll be just like at the warehouse!'

MANIFEST!!!

DARK ARMOR!

AL remembered as he quickly activated his flame shield, the flames taking a darker shade of purple and moretheyenacing appearance as it manifested.

BLACK SPHERE!!!

EXPAND!!!

A black epicenter was created just as the flame fighter finished requiring his armor, the fear and dark energies expanding as the beams were no longer able to retain a level of rigidity as it engulfed the armored flame fighter and the dark vampire.

GUARD!

ENGULF!

Cross guarding with all he had was the last thing AL did before the darkness consumed him.

"FUCK-"

ENGULF!

Yelling like a raging gamer with a shitty headset in the early 2010s was the last thing DIO did before the darkness consumed him.

SHINE!!!...

ENORMOUS EXPLOSION!!!

DEAFENING BOOM!!!

The dark sphere grew to the size of a few blocks before shifting from a black hole shade to a blinding white and detonating with the ferocity to shake the entire island violently as the initial explosion raced to destroy everything within the sector.

EARTHQUAKE!!!

The explosion reached miles in seconds as Cave and Blinx felt a terrifying earthquake as the repercussions of the explosion headed towards them.

"W-What?!"

JUMP!

LAND!

The redhead widened her eyes as she felt the ground shake as Blinx jumped from the elevated height he was at and looked around with her for the source.

"That doesn't sound good. We gotta get out of dodge.'' The cat decided.

"But how?" She asked. "Its origin is still unknown. We might run right into it!" She voiced a possibility.

"Damnit!" Blinx shouted as he looked for an escape route.

GRAB!

LEAP!!!

Cave then grabbed the temporal cat before leaping into the air and going past the city to see what was making the commotion.

EXPAND!!!

Their faces went from concern to fear and shock as they saw the blinding white light rushed towards them as they were in the direct path of being annihilated by its contact.

"Uh oh-"

GRAB!-

ENGULF!!!

Blinx realized the situation they were in before they too were engulfed, but not before the cat pulled out a glowing orange pyramid.

---

EARTHQUAKE!!!

The party within the convoy felt the extremely powerful tremors as they felt the vibrations.

"A powerful spike of energy is being picked up by my cellular device!" Avery shouted as his phone showed him a danger sign as it pinpointed the exact location from Leanbox's military satellite.

"WARNING!"

"WARNING!"

"WARNING!"

It repeatedly alerted.

DROP!

EXPAND!

SHIELD!

Mister Chief took out a Drop Shield and dropped it in the convoy for it to expand and cover the vehicle.

DROP!

DROP!

SHIELDS!

Avery and Betty took out their own Drop Shields as the three items expanded the surface area of the shields, ensuring the entire vehicle.

EXPAND!!!

Poona then created one of the Bon-Bon that resided on her head before it expanded within the convoy and becoming translucent in appearance and physiology, passing through the individuals and items in the truck before coating onto the vehicle as she spoke the move.

"Bon-Bon Barrier!"

ENGULF!

The white dome encompassed them right after she said the SP Skill, leaving their fate up to the abilities at their disposal's resilience.

---

...

BURST...!

PUNCH!

Brave Heart's gloved fist punched through the surface of the ruins that were the underground parking space.

PUSH OUT!

His fingers were visible through both gloves as his other hand punched through the remains as he pulled his upper body and a disheveled Domio out of the rubble pit that was now the parking space.

"AH!" The Loweean shrieked, his hair ruffled as the helmet of his ice armor had been shattered from the impact.

"You alright, Dom?" The CPU looked out for his adoptive son, the boy nodding quickly as he responded, a bit shaken up from his dad's breathing being the only sign that he was still alive for a bit.

"...Y-Yeah. I think I am. Where is everyone?"

He asked as the guardian got to his feet after pulling his lower half out of the pit.

"Let me see..." He told the boy. His sensing capability was put to the test as he tried to pinpoint the exact locations of the desolate metropolitan wasteland that was Eastern Leanbox as he then felt power signature quickly approaching him.

"...!" Brave Heart reacted.

CRASH!!!

The ground beside them exploded as something landed.

The figure stood up as Kars looked down the CPU and ice user with condescension.

"Were you two knocked back as well?" He asked, fully well knowing the answer.

"What do you think?" Brave Heart raised a brow as he deadpanned. A smirk soon grew on his lips as he reiterated his sentence. "On second thought, did you see who won the clash?" He asked.

Kars' smirk then became a line as his brows slightly furrowed.

"Go fuck yourself." The Ultimate Life Form responded as Domio cringed.

"I have virtual pornography, I'll be fine." The CPU waved off before moving on. "Why did you even come here? Don't you fight to watch?" The blue deity brought up what hooked the alien's interest in the first place.

"I've stopped by to acknowledge your attempts to help your ally. Although it ultimately amounted to next to nothing, it did restore some of his humanity and sanity. So I'd figure showing you where he and DIO currently lie would be a good way to partially fulfill your conditions for our deal." He explained.

"..." Brave Heart remained quiet. Generally, he'd deny the prospect as he still in the grand scheme of things did not fill out his end of the deal, but it was best not to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if said person could transform into the strongest stallion on the planet.

"Fine. But you'll have to keep your end of the deal and lead me to them. Or you'll lose the chance for me to shove my fist through your chest and use your heart like a stress ball before giving you the heart attack of the century." The CPU gave some battle banter.

"We'll see about that, Brave Heart. Come along!" The alien called as he flew, as he looked back to his son.

"Sorry for all the coarse language, Domio. Can't really soften my words around people like Kars." He apologized to his son, aware of his slight in parenthood.

"Oh, no worries. I-I get it completely. My uncle taught me the importance of maintaining an intimidating and respectable figure in the presence of people. Especially the top dog types like Kars." Domio reflected as his perked raised intrigued brow.

"Oh, really? Guess Hyuzu was an advocate of child abuse AND thug life quotes... Still wanna cross punch his jaw though."

SUMMON!

ATTRACTION!!!

FLY!!!

The blue CPU admitted as the boy shared his sentiment, the god summoning his processors before sticking out his hand and using his Attraction to tail after Kars' signature.

---

RISE!

Cave rose from the ground as she looked around in a jolt as she quickly analyzed the situation.

She was then hit with a splitting headache, causing her to grab her head as her skull throbbed from whatever she was engulfed in.

"Urgh...!"

STEP...!

STEP...!

STEP...!

The agent grunted as she winced, her eyes shut as she cradled her forehead, before hearing some steps that put her in a more sloppy reaction as she turned, her eyes opening with a lethargic vibe.

AIM!...

RAISE!!

Her vision betrayed her hostile analytical skills as she assumed it to be DIO, as she had to look up to gaze at his mug, but when she aimed her weapon to take the shot, two hands rose.

"Ayo, chill! I'm not here to fight!... You, Specifically." An echoing deep voice gave in to its violent urges somewhat as Cave kept her gun trained on him.

"W... What do you mean by that? Specify, now!" Her eyesight slowly began to improve as her vision ceased its swimming.

Her eyes adjusted as details became more apparent as the half-naked purple, flaming warrior with a hole the size of a small pizza in his chest stood over her.

"Wait... You're AL, I presume?" The redhead asked her fellow redhead.

Or in this case flaming head.

"That's me. But I can't seem to find DIO anywhere. I was gonna ask you, but... You look like you just woke up from a college house party, half-naked and all." He nonchalantly pointed as the agent's top section of her been blown off in the explosion, leaving a slightly damaged black lingerie as her only upper modesty.

"I-I... Oh, dear. This is highly inappropriate." She realized her state as her cheeks reddened, awkwardly tried to cover herself, AL chuckling before waving off her action.

"Don't worry about it. Besides me, there's no one else around to stare at you. And I'm too busy trying to kick that sparkling jackass' teeth down his throat to look at your breasts."

REACH!

GRAB!

STAND!

AL told the woman as he gave her his hand, Cave taking it as she stood up to look him in the eyes as if she was trying to reveal his intentions.

But lavender flaming pupils and sclera as dark as a spiraling mid-life crisis into drug addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts made it next to impossible to read the monster of a man.

She then lowered her other hand covering herself before letting go of AL's hand as she sighed.

"And besides, look at me. I'm one powerful blast away from being ass out fucking naked. On the bright side, your maturity extends to even your underwear. And that's pretty dope." He spoke with some humor as he grinned.

"I thought you told me you weren't looking...!" She covered herself again, feeling her trust being betrayed only seconds after it was established.

"I said besides me, and I already did look. I just don't need to constantly reaffirm with my eyes that you have a beautiful body like a horny 12-year-old. Moving on from your juicy jugs, where's Blinx?"

ECHO...!

AL's voice echoed around them as they saw the wasteland that the explosion left.

"I do not know. We must have been separated in the blast." Cave told the martial artist as she looked around to see nothing that resembled the cat.

"Fuck."

SENSE!

AL cursed before he started to sense energy.

BFFT!-

CLAWS!

GRIP!

SKID...!

He began to radar for any energy signatures, before hearing the distortion as Blinx suddenly tumbled before the two of them, his claws extending from one of his paws as he gripped the ground, sliding to a halt.

"Blinx!" Both Cave and AL yelled as they rushed to their feline friend's side.

His shirt had been mostly blown off, leaving only a portion of his blue top left as his pants hand several tears and rips as he was helped up by the two taller comrades.

LIFT!

He had scratches and some blood on his fur as his Sweeper was dented and damaged substantially.

"What happened?" Cave asked once they managed to bring him to his feet.

"I tried to fight him...! But he's too strong-" The cat strained as he spat out a tooth, some blood mixed with spit following it.

"DIO's gonna get to us soon... We have to regroup!" He stressed as he tugged on Cave's arm.

The woman could see the fear in his eyes as he tugged her arm.

AL's eyes narrowed as he was not content with the man still breathing.

"...Where is he."

ゴゴゴゴ!!!

BFFT!

The fire user asked the warrior, the hatred oozing from his tone as the Satsui No Hado began to get a hold of his mind once again.

RUSH!

Blinx was about to tell him when a second distortion effect was heard as a purple oil tanker suddenly appeared out of thin air as DIO was seen gripping the underside of the truck as his back was blocking the moon.

"An oil tanker for you!" The shirtless vampire yelled, his pants ripped as his regeneration healed his wounds as he descended upon the trio.

"No...! This can't be the end!" Blinx yelled as he scrambled for a Time Crystal."

LINE OF FIRE!!!

PUNCTURE!!!

PUNCH!!!

Cave was going to aim her gun to shoot the gas tank, but her reaction time wouldn't be able to let her pull off her maneuver.

"Shankunetsu Goshoryuken."

EXPLOSION!

But just as DIO was silently slowing down time, AL became a glowing line of heat as a flaming fist punched through the tank on the back of the truck before connecting with DIO's skull, bypassing a cross guarding The World as the vampire's arms exploded in blood before AL's eyes became dots of embers, calling out the move.

BOOM!!!

ZOOM!!!

The oil tanker exploded in a burst of flames that added to the attack as DIO's flesh was burnt off from the blow as his head recoiled, blasting him into the air, emulating a golden streak.

GRAB!!!

LEAP!

FWOOSH!!!

SKID...!

Cave grabbed the cat as she hopped out of the explosion's yield, getting an observable distance as she landed.

NOD...!

BOOST!!!

Blinx then looked up as he saw AL look back at the two of them before giving the duo a nod before giving chase above them.

"He looks different than the last time I saw him..." Blinx commented on the purple, red-orange, and black getup that AL sported.

"You and me both." Cave agreed as they looked up.

Up above, DIO writhed in pain as his remaining eye was bloodshot as his teeth were grit.

"IT BURNS!"

REGEN!

HALT!!!

HOLD!...

But his arms soon regenerated as he used his stand to halt his ascent before gripping the side of his face that was burning with his left hand.

WHOOSH!

AL reached him in seconds as he floated at the same height, being a few meters apart.

FEAR ENERGY!

REGENERATE!

He arrived just in time to see DIO apply murky dark gold energy to his face before a low-pitched screech and the formation of bone, pulling of tendons, and gripping of skin was heard.

He lowered his hand as AL was shocked at how fast he regenerated, sniggering as he did.

"Did I fool you?" The bloodsucker asked.

"What?! Your regeneration has improved!..." The martial artist picked up as he noticed other differences.

"Your attack didn't do as much as I expected it to. Still smarts, however, your advantage of brute strength has diminished greatly."

FLEX!

FEAR AURA!!!

The vampire boasted as he flexed his muscles, some veins formed as his aura returned and expanded to fully encompass him as it occupied some space around him.

"While you still have that lovely hole where my glorious stand imparted you with."

SUMMON!

GRIN!

DIO pointed as The World appeared, its arms folded as it beamed maliciously at AL, to further admire its handiwork.

"Tch!" The fighter growled as he came to terms with his situation.

'He's right. I should have healed this hole like those knife wounds. But when I regained some sanity, it must have been exchanged for the efficiency of my abilities. I've been nerfed for the sake of linear thinking!' AL realized.

'And he's regenerated in a fraction of the time it would usually take him to pull off! So there's a chance that his abilities improved when mine decreased simultaneously! Goddessdamn it!' He pieced together a possibility as he was about to conclude his analysis.

'I'll unfortunately have to assume that I've lost the same amount of might that DIO has gained, if not more. Not to mention the motherfucking hole where most of my lungs should be. I have to end this quickly!'

"...RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

DARK BURN!!!

DARK AURA!!!

His eyes narrowed as he yelled, his chest wound burning brightly around the edges of the wound.

CAUTERIZE!

HEAL!

A dark purple aura burst from his body as the wound slowly cauterized before the flesh became one large scab and then normal flesh.

AL stopped his screaming as he panted, lightly sweating. He then looked the vampire in the eyes as he spoke.

"A hole in my chest will be the least of your worries. The only hole you should be worried about is the one you'll be buried in, DIO." The dark fighter diverted the attention from his deteriorated state as he jabbed at the vampire.

"I am quicker to assume that hole is located in your imagination if you are truly delusional enough to believe you have the means to kill me as of now." The evil bloodsucker denied his claim as he held a clenched fist in front of him.

"Then you shall die with that belief."

TELEPORT!

ELBOW!

AL spat before he teleported with the Ashura Senku, closing the gap and elbowing at the vampire.

THRUST!!!

GRIP!

CLENCH!

FEAR ENERGY!!!

PUNCH!-

DIO grabbed the elbow, however, before AL's palm opened as purple flames shot out of it as the bloodsucker gripped the elbow even tighter before clenching his other hand onto a fist and rushing to wind the fire user.

LURCH!

MISS!

DARK FLAMES!!!

But the martial artist lowered his body for the attack to pass right through the same hole that The World created through his chest before using his barokinesis to create flames within his wound to inflict damage, his chest flame returning.

"Argh!"

LOOSEN...!

SWING!!!

BIFF!!!

SHOCKWAVE!

The invader screamed as he yanked his hand back, the pain setting off his other hand as the grip slightly loosed, enough for the pyro warrior to throw a blinding straight with his other hand.

MOVE BACK!

"Tch!"

JET!!!

DIO reeled from the attack as he flinched, before using his one open eye to fire a single SRSE beam at his opponent.

REAR!......

TRICKLE...!

AL reacted to the attack and moved his head to the side to dodge it.

But his eyes widened as he felt his blood escape a cut that was formed from the now faster attack since ot had never worked on him since he used his surge of hatred.

BURST!!!

"Cursed Blazer!"

BLAST!!!

'He really did get stronger... Shit.' The dark fighter mentally cursed before he charged a one-handed attack, a large purple orb that had dark indigo flames coming off of it charged in front of his palm.

FEAR ENERGY!

THRUST!

EXPLODE!!!

The blast raced towards DIO before he used his other hand and coated it in fear energy before thrusting his arm into the purple attack, making the blast react adversely to the energy before it exploded, not being to be fully nullified.

The smoke clouded his vision as the vampire smiled, the attack being virtually useless to actually damage him as he mocked the fighter.

"You're losing your edge, AL." He goaded.

"Then your face makes a great substitute for whetstone."

SWIVEL!

The mentioned opponent responded as he reappeared behind DIO with a flaming Gohadōken ready to fire.

"Shankunetsu Gohadōken!"

DARK FLAME BEAM!!!

DIO turned his head to see AL throw his hands forward and yelled the technique.

GUARD!!!

WHOOSH!!!

EXPLOSION!

A black beam with an orange outside that rippled the air shot out of the orb that was in the martial artist's hands.

It engulfed the bloodsucker, The World barely scraping the mark to get in between the two and attempting to mitigate the damage by blocking the attack, before the two were sent into the ground, creating a large dome of flames as it exploded.

Cave and Blinx braved the winds as they had nowhere to grab or pit against the strong winds from the attack.

FWOOSH!!!

"...!" Cave remained silent as she put her arms in front of her, planting her feet in the ground as her eyes were squinted as she struggled to stay rooted.

"Waaaaaugh!" Blinx had both his claws out and he desperately gripped the ground, in an attempt to not be blown away as he wildly flailed.

The smoke had blown away from the wind as AL was breathing heavily from the technique he just used.

"Hah... Hah... Hah..."

DESCEND!!!

SMASH!

He audibly breathed, sweat forming around his pores before descending and landing on the ground.

"My energy's already waning. Soon I won't have enough to even maintain the Satsui no Hado... I'll have to use that."

SPRINT!!!

The warrior understood his situation as he ran towards the crash site that DIO occupied.

BFFT!

DIO suddenly stood on the edge of the crater that let up smoke thanks to his stand ability and shouted.

GRAB!

FEAR ENERGY!

"This is where it ends!" DIO roared before seeing a stop sign on the ground and picking it up before enhancing it with his medium of energy.

STAND JUMP!!!

VOOM!

He then used his stand as he crouched to propel himself as he used its combined leg strength to approached the dark martial artist at tens of thousands the speed of sound.

BLUR!

ZOOM!!!

"Die one thousand deaths!" AL screamed as he shifted into an Ashura Senku as he approached the vampire. His speed dramatically increased as he became a hard-to-make-out blur before the two collided.

DUBSTEP FART!

TIME STOP!

"ZA WARUDO!" He yelled.

FEAR SLASHES!!!

STAND BARRAGE!!!

"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!!!!"

ROTATE!

Time ground to a halt as DIO and The World relentlessly attacked AL as the vampire slashed and sliced at the fire user hundreds of times as The World barraged the martial artist as they circled him.

RETURN!

"Toki wa ugokidasu!!!"

TIME RESUMES!

They maintained this dual assault for 40 seconds before DIO reassumed his initial pose as time resumed.

AL felt his body burn in pain, but he had to endure as he pulled off the infamous Shun Goku Satsu.

BLITZ!!!

BLITZ!!!

BLITZ!!!

He began to teleport around DIO with his sheer speed, putting everything into this maneuver as he struck his vitals with many blitzing punches as he did so, becoming faster and faster as he pressed his ferocity.

SLASH!!!

BLITZ PUNCH!!!

DIO was battered around but kept enough strength for one last swing just as AL landed the final blow, the duo striking each other simultaneously.

天!

POSE!...

They separated as AL showed the kanji for death on his beaten back as DIO maintained his pose at the end of his swing as they managed to move some feet away from each other.

Blinx and Cave, who had watched the entire altercation, were now invested in the victor of the standoff.

"What's... Going on?" The temporal cat was confused.

"..."

WOOSH...!

Cave didn't answer his question, too invested to see who would stand victorious.

GLARE...!

TWITCH!

A solemn wind blew over the four as shades were over the eyes of AL, and blocked the face of DIO completely as The World turned his back to his opponent, sporting a menacing side view as a chilling red eye was burning a hole through the martial artist.

DISPERSE!!!

SCREECH!!!

AL's body twitched as he stood tall.

KEEL!!!...

AL suddenly suffered the collective injuries he gained in stopped time as wounds appeared, just as his body released the power of the Satsui no Hado, not being able to maintain it any longer.

He fell to his knees as the dark energy busted off of his body as it made an unnerving sound, the fighter returning to his base, his eyes being blank and his stamina eroded with his mouth wrenched open as dark miasma was left to emit from his body.

The two spectators were agape with their hearts in their stomachs, their comrade being utterly defeated before them as they couldn't believe what they saw.

"No!" Blinx refused the results. "This can't be how it ends! Not now!" The cat shook his head as his face became mournful as his despair filled his eyes.

"He fought valiantly..." Cave clenched her fist as she was upset with the outcome of the fight. "But that monster outlasted him!" She got her teeth as she looked at the aforementioned vampire.

"I cannot be defeated. That is a basic truth that all who oppose me should have ingrained into their souls. AL was just a fool that thought he could do what many have tried and failed to do." DIO began his victory speech as his face became distinguishable again.

RAISE...!

GLEAM!

"He fought well, I will admit. As resilient and troublesome as he was, he wasn't invincible and my existence is proof of that. A swift death shall be your reward, for all your wasted effort." He raised the stop son before it gleamed menacingly, standing over the decommissioned warrior.

I "NOOOO!!!" Blinx cried out, a hand reaching in vain.

Cave looked in horror as she would be useless to stop another hopeless situation, as the ground they treaded on already meant that lives had been lost.

BLOOD AND GORE!!!

But before DIO could even touch a hair on AL's head, the vampire promptly exploded.

THUD!

The explosion pushed AL forward as he fell flat, snapping him back to reality as the pain hit him like a freight train.

LIFT!...

The two then rushed to him, before lifting a bloody, beaten, exhausted, and semi-conscious implement victim to his feet.

"..." He had visible bags under his eyes as he didn't have much more energy to stay conscious anymore.

"You... You beat him?!" Blinx's voice wobbled, not knowing what to believe anymore.

"He's a bloody puddle. That seems like dearest to me. But I'd much rather have him reduced to atoms." Cave admitted as AL shook his head.

"No... He's coming back... I've only bought time..." AL breathed out as they widened their eyes in horror.

"WHAT?!"

BUBBLE...!

BUBBLE...!

They screeched as they looked back.

"We gotta go! We can't be caught with our heavy hitter down!"

GRAB!!!

TIME SLOWS!!!

ACCELERATE!

The feline grabbed his Time Crystals, both a yellow star and an orange pyramid as he used them.

"Let's go!"

LEAP!!!

SOAR!!!

...LAND!

SPRING!!!

SOAR!!!...

LAND!

He yelled as time had slowed as the three of them accelerated, Cave using her acrobatics as she and Blinx leaped bounds of meters, creating distance between DIO and themselves and praying to bump into someone that was on their side.

They did this for 20 seconds before the duration of the stones ran out as they had put about a mile between themselves and the reason Leanbox was having a national crisis.

"We have some distance between us. But we have to keep moving. Let's return to the convoy." The redhead devised a plan as Blinx nodded.

"Gotcha."

LEAP!!!...

They continued to make haste to the vehicular stronghold, as AL was barely clinging on to consciousness.

YANK!

Before the drained comrade was suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck.

The two turned around to see that their seriously injured ally was not in their possession anymore.

"Where's AL...?!"

SMASH!!!

"URK!"

SONIC BOOM!-

CRASH!...

The cat asked, before the flat side of a stop sign spiked him into the floor as he created a sonic boom from the speed he flew towards the ground.

He slammed into the ground as dust spiked up into the air as the ground rumbled.

"Blinx!-"

SLAP!

SHOCKWAVE!

She wouldn't be able to finish her sentence before she got pimp slapped, a shockwave echoing out.

HEADBUTT!!!

FWOOSH!!!

BOOM!...

The agent twisted at thousands of RPM before she was headbutted into the same crater that the downed cat was occupying.

The figure that down aired the two floated above them with a choke held AL beside him, held up by the dark phantom as they went on.

"Uselessness reeks with you two. You can't fight, you can't run. It would be extremely ironic if you could not even die, but fate is not that forgiving for the daft." DIO laughed as he insulted the duo's prowess before looking to AL as he smirked.

"And for you... I deem you worthy...!"

ゴゴゴゴ!!!

He beamed maniacally, The World pulling him closer as his demeanor became menacing.

A/N:

At last. We've reached the end of the road for this chapter. I've been working on this chapter for weeks and I finally got to post it (after an era of procrastination)

Praise the sun. By the way, Kars is a widower. Ain't that wacky-

But anyway, Welcome back, and thanks for reading another chapter 'o mine. I put work into it and I wanted it to be as close to perfection as possible, on top of it being longer than usual for making up for being late on the release. But enough of the apologies, you've had a good read, and that's all I want for my readers.

The Satsui no Hado has finally clocked out as AL hangs defenseless in the clutches of DIO, his fate is decided by the superior creature of the night! And his allies, Cave and Blinx are down for the count as they lie in the crater that may as well be their doom!

And Nebula, Domio, and Kars rush to their allies' aid as they don't have much time to spare with ironically a person who has all the time in the world. The status of those in the convoy is still unknown post-explosion, and still no sight of Leanbox's CPU Candidate, or the mighty Lastationite god himself.

So as we get ready to see another 11th Hour Superpower- I mean, tragedy with our heroes, the suspense only builds as the fate of Leanbox takes a darker turn.

As if trillions of property damage, thousands if not millions of lost lives, and busty booba goddess not being present on top of a bisexual vampire on a genocidal rampage wasn't hopeless enough.

Arrivederci.
