//------------------------------// // Enter Higashikata Josuke // Story: KONO DIO DA: DIO is Unbreakable // by DIO Brando //------------------------------// "So after my father left, I ended up punching a hole in space itself and getting here!" Josuke finished explaining. The other's looked confused, but at least he wasn't evil. "What would cause you to go from saying goodbye to your father, to traversing spacetime with Stand power?" Twilight asked curiously. "I don't want to talk about it." Josuke said shakily. "Oh, I forgot, we haven't even introduced ourselves!" Twilight said, "My name is Twilight, this is Rainbow Dash," "'Sup." Rainbow said. "Princess Luna," "Greetings," Luna said. "And DIO." DIO said nothing in response. Josuke gave an odd expression. "I believe I've heard that name before, DIO?" he said. DIO looked slightly uncomfortable. "And you are?" DIO asked with a cautious tone. "Josuke Higashikata," Josuke replied, "I believe my nephew might have heard of you, that's why I can remember your name. Odd to see you in this place, though." "Hmm. . ." DIO thought for a moment, "We believe that there might be another Stand user on the loose with ill intent for this world. Since you have landed here, you will be able to help." "Well," Josuke scratched his head, "my friends are probably looking for me, and I should find a way back." "I didn't phrase that as a question, did I?" DIO said with a grim an M E N A C I N G tone. Josuke stepped back a bit with a more frustrated expression. "Oi oi, I don't need any trouble now," Josuke said curling a fist, "I happened upon this place by accident, I don't need to get involved with it." "Perhaps you should have been involved with your hair more," DIO said. Josuke stopped. "Oi. . ." He began to glow as a large figure manifested behind him. "What the Hell did you say about my hair you bastard?!" DIO summoned The World to take a direct hit from Josuke's now visible Stand. DIO was taken aback by the immense power that rivaled even Jotaro's. 'This power. . .' DIO thought, before seeing a barrage of punches coming his way. He quickly shouted in response, "ZA WARUDO!" Josuke noticed a heart headband gently falling as he felt something behind him. "How did you—?" Josuke said before taking a direct hit to the cheek from DIO's bare fist. "That's enough, DIO," Princess Luna said as DIO prepared to fight again. She looked at Josuke. "Human, please, we want trouble as much as you do, but we haven't much time before much bigger problems could affect not only our world, but yours." "That Stand. . ." Josuke said, ". . .is like Jotaro's." DIO eye's widened at the name of a Joestar. "What." DIO said, picking Josuke up by the collar. "DIO! Put him down!" Twilight said. "Oi oi! I'll stop fighting!" Josuke pleaded, struggling in DIO's grip. He only tightened his grip as The World appeared behind him. "You said Jotaro" DIO growled, "Do you mean to tell me you know of Jotaro Kujo?" "Y-yes! He's my nephew! My father, Joseph Joestar, had an affair with my mother! He came to Morioh to notify me and give me information about my inheritance!" DIO only stared as Josuke responded before dropping him soon after. "The grandson of Jonathan Joestar, who I killed, came back from the dead." DIO mused. "Wait, killed?" DIO turned around. "Am I forgotten so easily?!" DIO shouted. The others only remained silent in response as he stared directly at Josuke. "I was the one who killed Kakyoin! Who killed Joseph! Yet, Joseph is alive again? And what of Kakyoin? Was everything I had done completely dismissed? Were the rules of life and death broken just to spite me?" "So you're the one Jotaro fought that night. . ." Josuke mused, realizing who he had met. "The one who wanted to kill the Joestars, yet, why haven't you killed me already?" "Because I'm. . !" DIO stopped, looking at Luna, then at Twilight, then at Dash. His curled fist quickly relaxed. "Because I'm preoccupied with more important matters. Holding a grudge would waste my time, and put more lives in jeopardy in this world that deserves nothing of our world's evil." "Hey, uh, guys?" Rainbow Dash said in the background, holding a bottle of some certainly alcoholic apple cider. "I'm a bit confused about this otherworldly drama and shit so uh, I'm just gonna drink myself to sleep in the other room. . ." Twilight stopped her before she could walk out. "Ooooh no you're not," Twilight said with a sigh. "You're staying right here, and we're going to find this killer." "Killer?" Josuke said with a concerned tone, "What do you mean killer?" "One from your world has come to ours, and has disguised as one of our kind," Princess Luna said, "he leaves no evidence behind, it's certainly uncanny, but so many things have been uncanny lately, the most abnormal thing would have been a day of perfect circumstance." "You don't mean. . ." Josuke said, his eyes widened as he thought of the terrible possibility that he might have come back. "What?" Twilight asked attentively, the rest listening to him as he replied, "Yoshikage Kira. . .Is back?" "Lyra, I've gotten the most uncomfortable feeling. . ." Kira said, sitting on the edge of a bench. "What is it, Kira?" Lyra asked with a concerned frown. "As if my greatest adversary had just appeared within a world in which he was unwelcome," Kira replied, "as if fate itself has turned against me." He looked up at the night sky, clouds beginning to shroud the stars from sight as they released a soft rain. "Josuke, if it is true that you are here," Kira said to himself quietly, "I will be sure to defeat you this time." "And I will never see you again."
