This story is a sequel to KONO DIO DA: 『Over Friendship』
With DIO gone, and Celestia's stand withdrawn, Equestria falls into the pains of everyday society. As the equines learn to live without help, much division arises, and with that division the opportunity for an old enemy with a new ability to seize control of the land. With the Mane Six separated, the Elements of Harmony powerless, and friendship dying, the princesses know that there is only one hope for Equestria: a morally-ambiguous vampire that can stop time.
I wanted to write more. I couldn't let this story go, and I kept telling myself "No, it's a perfect ending, don't ruin it", but everything in me says "there can be more, I can show more of this hypothetical DIO I have created, and maybe people will like it just as much as they did before". Depending on reception, I might even make a double-trilogy. I intend for this to be a very serious variation of what we saw in the first trilogy, a time to take away the metahumor and silliness to use these characters to ask bigger questions about the moral ambiguity of the world, and of course to write a compelling story in the process.
Rated Teen for depictions of violence, death, gore, suggestive themes, and mild language.

this brings boundless joy to my heart
Straight into the fuckin' comments section, no less.
Looking forward to DIO showing everyone what a pogchamp he is.

I'm not sure, I'm winging this entire story like I did the last seven I've written. Even I have no idea where this is gonna go.

There is an incredibly specific name for that kind of writing process and right now it currently eludes me, but that's pretty impressive. I'm not one of those kinds of writers, and it's driven me crazy every time I've ever tried it.
Discovery writing, I think that's what it's called.
10641891
It's the only way I know how to write, Lol.

Third person P.O.V (Point of Perspective)?

No no, writing without planning out the story first, which is apparently what people do.
Can't wait for the big battle!
10655382
There's going to be a lot of big battles in this one, hehe.
10655689
Can't wait for the big battles!*
10651929
Ahh, that.
Though I'm not that kind of writer, I can see the adventure in it.
I just go and lay out big events that will occur in my stories, and write whatever that fits the story and the characters between them.

I guess I technically do the same thing in my head, but for a story like this where I have come up with six characters on the spot, I have to go back a few times to remember what their name was. Stalker 54 was constructed in the last chapter completely on a whim because I thought "hey, I could use some really interesting characters here", then I thought "I'm gonna kill one off for shits and giggles". I'm definitely looking at a possible spinoff with them, if people admire their characters enough. It'll take a few more chapters to really flesh them out.
And yes, I had Spike in mind when I was developing Fury's character.
YES! I'm super happy you continued this! KEEP IT UP MY FRIEND!

Working on a lot of stuff with my music channel, you should definitely subscribe to that! The quicker I can get things up and running, the more effort I can put into recreational works like this.
Thanks for the comment, though! It's good to know people are enjoying my work.
Y’know maybe we shouldn’t trust fellas with such Funny names. Just a thought.

Hilarious.

Dirty deeds done dirt cheap... Dimes for crimes. The acronym stays the same D4C
I’m glad that there were two updates to catch up on this time. Having the storylines start to diverge by setting the characters into groups of (roughly) a MLP character and one JJBA character really helps with showing contrasts that further the story.

Yeah, I was hoping to illustrate a theme between all of the conflicts before wrapping it up in a final chapter hopefully soon, probably about three to four more should do the trick. Though, as usual, I'm having life issues getting in the way of my leisurely writing. Then again, I've had more time than usual so I'm able to write a bit more and actually might do some more this week.
10905351
That’s good to hear. I hope to see that update when you get around to it.
Unintentionally making a pun never goes out of style and is very much appreciated. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

i really needed the comic relief

I don't think there are many stories that would suffer from it. If anything, it can serve as a good way to indirectly highlight how serious a situation is.
10943658
I'll try to have it out soon

I'll cut you a deal, how about the last three chapters?
Fluttershy’s talk with DIO at the end was probably my favorite part. Nice work! I really enjoy the more polished and exploratory tone that this storyline has. It acts as a great contrast to the more fun prequels.

I enjoyed it, too, though I doubted how it would turn out. I'm glad to see that it worked out quite well all things considered.
You are a FUCKING WRITING GENIUS.

That warms my heart, maybe I should finish Flame of the Sun, but I'm doing a whole lot of creative things at once right now, haha.
