"Thank you for meeting with us Apocalypse. We appreciate your help in trying to figure out where the others wound up."
"I have no real interest in assisting all of them, Storm. However, several of our fellow Mutants are stranded there. If they have survived, then there is much to be informed about in regards to how powerful this threat is."
Ororo nodded, "Regardless, we hope to figure out what happened to them. It would still be a good starting point. The little information we have gotten from the civilians and the little that Beerus and Galaxia figured out does not leave us with much."
"Hrmm…" Apocalypse muttered as he saw a teenager bandaging Magneto, "Might I ask, who is that?"
"Hmm? Oh. Tetsuo. He's a kid that Magnus took under his wing, so to speak. I think it is good and healthy for him to be a father figure."
"Interesting. And what of Teth-Adam? I heard he is not doing so well."
"Well, after attempting to tap into the wisdom of Zehuti, he collapsed. We think that the cosmology is different here." Ororo admitted, "Perhaps you can use your own cosmic awareness to understand what ails him."
"Bah. Child's play." Apocalypse said, "It is only a matter of- AUGH!"
"Apocalypse? Is something wrong?" Ororo asked.
"Augh, it is just… There is a lot happening in the cosmos. It is… Difficult to pinpoint what happened."
"DIO. Is this a business visit or because you actually have something for us?"
"I actually have something, you ingrate." DIO snarled, "How Jojo puts up with you, I'll never know."
"Well then- oof!" Rock Lee grumbled as DIO let himself inside.
"Where is that Barbara woman? This is something for her."
"She's busy trying to repair some security systems in another district. She should be back in a few hours."
"What sort of security systems require several hours to repair?"
"Ones that span an entire district. Those security systems are what keep the Necro-Xenos in an enclosed area so that the Predator can continue his hunt without interruption."
"Of course. And what of Jojo?"
"Also out with Miss Belladonna and Mister Kamado to take care of the GrimmX that are running about."
"So. There is nobody here worth talking to?"
"You're talking to me."
"I'm talking at you. Not to you." DIO said, "You're barely worth it."
"Would you like to do something? We have a Chessboard around here."
"Against I, DIO, in a game as strategic as Chess?" DIO asked, "I guess it would be interesting to see how much I would need to hold back for you to have a chance."
"Just don't use your time stop to move pieces around."
"Unlike Jotaro or Joseph, I don't need to cheat. I'm just more skilled than they are." DIO boasted, "Now come on. Where is this Chessboard?"
"Checkmate."
"Best six out of ten."
"DIO, this is getting tiring." Rock Lee replied, "Maybe it is best to admit that you aren't as skilled at this as you initially thought?"
"No no. I beat several people in this game. I'm sure I can beat you."
"Have you ever thought that maybe they let you win because they were terrified of displeasing you?"
"I-" DIO Started, "Did I really not have any true friends?"
"You had Jonathan. Then you killed him." Lee pointed out.
"I am starting to have some regrets about my choices now." DIO sighed, "Say, where are Black Adam and Apocalypse? Out of anyone, I would have thought that they would be helpful in undoing all this mess."
"Why do you want to undo it anyways?" Lee asked, "Wouldn't that also mean Jotaro would come back?"
"Perhaps, but then I could at least try again to beat him. I refuse to believe that he was able to just copy my abilities like he did so easily."
"Maybe it was because you had a controlled environment to practice stopping time, but he had to do it in the heat of battle?" Lee asked, "There's a very real possibility that that was the primary reason for him developing it."
"I suppose. Though, I wonder… What is going on with those that went missing?"
"That's another volcano that has liquified." He-Man pointed out.
"If this keeps up, then the whole planet will be a sphere of molten lava. And Glacius is only barely holding on." She-Ra said.
Bowser shook off some lava that had gotten onto his shell, "Even if we survive the lava, we'll be trapped under whatever rock it turns into after it hardens."
"Still though, I have to wonder…" He-Man thought aloud, "What exactly is causing this instability in the planet?"
"*COUGH! COUGH!* Ugh, and not only that, but what'll happen to the animals on this planet? Or the plants?"
"We may just end up finding out…" Glacius said as he struggled to keep his icy shell together,
Wade: Okay, so here's the scenario: You get a Stand, but it's only usable next to stop signs on days of the month that are a prime number.
Dude: Do I get to choose which Stand?
Wade: It won't be Cheap Trick. But otherwise, it's random.
Dude: If I get Heaven's Door, can I write "Will always have a Stand active" to keep it?
Wade: … Yes, but then you might end up with Cheap Trick, and it'll last for 24 hours.
Dude: So 24 hours of keeping my back out of peoples' sight. That doesn't sound too hard. Do I know which one it'll be in advance?
Wade: Yes… Actually, you'll get one hour in advance notice. So you can't call in sick if you do end up with Cheap Trick.
Dude: I'll take a shot in the dark and say that I can't write "Will not get Cheap Trick" if I get Heaven's Door in the first scenario.
Wade: … Since you only now pointed it out, you can do that, but then you just end up with Hey Ya! Six days out of seven.
Dude: A confidence boost for six days of the week? I'm there.
