Chapter 98 - Stone Ocean

March 21st, 2012, Cape Canaveral, Florida.

"I finally completed it! The power of Gravity is filling my body!" Pucci shouts out in joy as he has accomplished his goal and achieved his perfect stand.

"GO TO HELL YOU BASTARD!" But Anasui shouted out as he still tried to attack Pucci with his stand DiverDown only for everyone nearby to be blinded in a bright flash of light itself.

*Crack Crack Shatter*

"So…. This is where my friend is…." I say as I look up to the rapidly moving sky as it is quickly moving from daylight to dusk, and soon enough the night shall approach.

But off in the distance on the other side of the Cape Canaveral Space Station I could feel it, "Jotaro…." I say quietly to myself before I pull away my link of Fate itself that connects me to him making it so he can no longer perceive me.

But as it turns out unless I'm real close the Fate of my good friend will cover for mine, so I decided it was best to wait for the right moment to announce my return.

So I faded into the shadows before going to the most optimal postion and awaited the proper time to return.

"UGH!" Jotaro grunted as his neck got cut by Pucci's extremely fast attack which he grabbed at to stop the blood flow as best as he could.

"DAD!" Jolyne shouted out seeing her father fatally wounded, but soon realized that Anasui's stand Diver Down was within her dads body and used its arm to eat a majority of the attack.

Jotaro looked over to the man who proposed to his daughter and asked for his blessing but obviously didn't give it and said, "Thanks, however…" he then grabbed Jolyne, Emporio, Ermes, and Anasui and brought them extremely close together As Pucci rapidly circled around them.

(**) Jotaro himself had stopped time, freezing the rapidly moving Pucci in place and goes for the attack but stumbles and falls so to over exerting his time stop as a human he can't use it in rapid succession, 'Damnit! 5 seconds is to short! I don't have the strength to actually deal with him!' "Time Resumes." (**)

Pucci goes in for the kill once more but Jotaro just pulls out his Star Platinum and try's to fight back, "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

But none of hits connected and he's hit once more but luckily Diver Down was still inside his body as he ate the attack protecting Jotaro once more.

Pucci circles around the roof before finally coming to a stop as he looks down upon the Jostars and their friends, the only people who stand in his way of giving the true happiness and peace of mind everyone deserves.

"Hmmm, I suppose Anasui should be the first person I should kill and not Jotaro with that ability of his, So be it, I doubt you will understand but I will say this, Time will keep accelerating, Now that it is complete I will say that I didn't gain this ability for power or just to kill you all, No, this is a power I will use to guide Humanity to true Happiness." He says before he spreads his arms wide.

"Made In Heaven! That shall be the name of my new and final Stand of mine!" He declares to them all as he looks down upon them.

"… Made In Hevean, what a wonderful name…" all of them hear a man's voice echo from everywhere, a voice that both Pucci and Jotaro are very familiar with.

Pucci hearing the voice, falls to his knees and before he realizes it, his stands Time Acceleration comes to a stop as the world returns to normal as he stares up at the vast stary night sky.

"D…. Dio…." Pucci says with tears in his eyes as he hears the voice of his good friend once more, but Jotaro hearing this is put even more on guard.

"Everyone stay behind me, things just a lot more complicated if he somehow appeared…" Jotaro said as he looked everywhere cautiously and even though he knew he killed Dio years ago he has come to realize that in this Crazy and Bizarre world of his that their could be ways for people to come back from the dead even if it's supposedly impossible as far as he knows for sure.

*Crack Crack*

They all looked up towards the sky and saw what appeared to be cracks within it before-

*Shatter!*

Like glass being broken in the very fabric of space itself before someone fell through it and landed before them with Pucci at his back and Jotaro facing him face to face for the first time in nearly twenty five years.

"Dio!" Both Pucci and Jotaro shout out as they see the man appear before them both in either happiness or anger at the sight of me.

"The one and only, and I've come back from the dead to finish some unfinished business, or I would say if I was 'your' Dio, but me and him are different men now with only somewhat similar goals." I say as I turn around and sit down on the edge of the building right besides Pucci, who in turn sat down next to me as well.

"What the hell do you mean your not the Dio that I met back then." Jotaro says with a squint in his eyes.

"Because I'm not, your a man now and in your forties from the looks of it, so you have at least heard of the theory branching timelines correct?" I ask both him and Pucci as it was clear that the kids of the group were confused as to what I'm talking about.

"That every major and minor action anyone does cause a constant flow of branching timelines that for the most part run parallel to our own with only some differences?" Pucci decided to answer first.

"Yes it's exactly that, I'm not the Dio you fought and Killed in Egypt Jotaro, hell we never actually came to meet in my timeline as mine is so drastically different from this one that it was a surprise I could even make it to this one if I hadn't gained the world favor within my world and achieved my goals myself instead of Pucci achieving them for me." I decide to explain as everyone here, no matter what they try to do is no threat to me whatsoever.

"Unfortunately their is no Pucci in my timeline because of how drastic it was, but when I achieved heaven myself I came to know of the original timeline and the original world itself had I not been able to change it to better suit me, at first I was thinking of coming here with my new powers and wiping out all of the Joestars personally, but then I thought it was pointless as I had already killed them off before a majority were ever even born in the first place." I say laying out a massive bombshell that shakes both Jotaro and Jolyne to their core as they know that I spoke the truth.

"Ahh that look on your face, it's rather priceless, but if your wondering why it's pretty simple, I wasn't freed in 1984 but instead I was freed from my coffin in 1932, when your grandfather Joesph Joestar was nothing more than a child, and a child is much easier to kill than a grown man, especially one that doesn't know how to use his Hamon at the time to fight me off, and you already know what happened to him in my world don't you?" I said as I slid my thumb over my throat in a slitting motion.

"But a bunch of things happened that weren't to important, but I figured out a way to achieve heaven even without a trusted friend, but after achieving it I have come to realize my knew goals, but without a true friend at my side it's not even possible to achieve as I plan to save my friend from fate that is against him, so congratulations Jotaro, you get to live, you all get to live as I see no point in killing you in a world not my own." I say as I stand up and point at him.

"But know this Jotaro, this mercy I give you is only once, the next time we meet, whether it's your current self or maybe yourself from 1989, which ever one I meet, I promise you I will kill you and the rest of the Jostars permanently, you bet on that." I say before I place a hand on Pucci's shoulder as The World: Over Heaven divides the space behind us both before I and him leap back before the portal closes behind us as we both disappear from the world entirely.

"…. Is…. Is it over…?" She turns to look at her father who just sits down and grabs at his hat and shakes his head.

"I don't know…. But for now I know our world is safe…. For how long is another question altogether…." He says as he looks up at the night sky.

"Yare Yare…."
