An African-American woman walked into the master bedroom.

"Dill?" asked the woman. She gasps out of fear, seeing first a katana in her husband's jaw. Her ten-year-old son is crying in the corner.

"Oh... Oh my God..."

The older brother, John, sees Dark's blade in his father's mouth and his mother sobbing out of fear. He yelps.

"John, call the police."

Dark's demon-like wings tick thrice every second as he stared at the pair with a pair of dead eyes.

*tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik tik*

"Mom..." sobbed John.

"John... GO!!!"

She looks back at Dark.

Dark's gone.

*SHING*

*SPLAT*

The pair are sliced into pieces by three strikes by Dark.

The little boy sobs out of fear, seeing what Dark had done to his family...

Now...

*THWIP*

An air slice is blasted toward Dark's face as his head dodges the wind blast.

The ground beneath his head was not torn, but stones from beneath begin to crack.

Dark carved a portal in Rojo as he leaped inside.

Rojo yells, "Oh, what the fuck, man!?"

The portal on Rojo's torso closes.

*ZIM*

Dark stabs Forethought, Rojo's partner, in the face.

"I knew it!" smiled Dark. "There's another User who could see the future!"

"Shit..." whispered Rojo, as Dark teleported in front of Rojo.

Dark carves another portal and hops into it, closing it after.

Dark leaped out of the portal behind Rojo.

"RED JUSTICE!!!" yelled Rojo, blasting an air slice into Dark's arm.

*CRACK*

Dark's left arm receives a fracture as Dark gasps for air.

"Your ribs punctured your lungs, didn't they? Your breath's rather shortened... blood filling your lungs..."

Dark vomit blood as he trembled.

"Your Stand is a sword that stores kinetic energy and carves interdimensional portals... It fails in comparison to my real target..." Rojo squinted his eyes. "After I kill you, I'll kill the most dangerous Stand-User of all... Miguel JoJo!"

Dark sneers. "You have no belly button."

Rojo is dumbfounded. "Huh?"

"I warped into your torso... I didn't see a belly button... The other two that we killed didn't have belly buttons... That means... you weren't born in wombs... You are not Ambrose Jefferson... Who... What are you?"

Rojo stares at Dark. "I am..."

"No... you retain their memories... their feelings... All their love... their hate... their likes... their dislikes... But... you're not them... What are you!?" Dark backs away out of fear. "You're not a Cryptid like Simoun JoJo once fought... Not a Grimm like the JoJo family... Stand-User... yes... like Miguel fought numerously... Not an Alien... Right? Like Lord Marvel battled in the stars..."
