"Fear, glorious fear. It's a natural emotion present in all animals." A gruff voice of an old woman said as smoke floated in the air.

"Now I'm curious, tell me what do you think causes fear?" The woman said chuckling lowly.

"There is the kind of fear born from animal instinct, and the kind of fear born from of a rational mind that terrorizes humans." The old woman continued.

"Namely when you encounter a foe stronger than yourself, you realize you have no way of fighting back against the unknown your helplessness begins to sink in." The old woman said as Dio outstretches his hand toward a naked woman. The woman approaches Dio and grips his hand and brings it to her forehead.

"And evokes inside of you a terrible and paralyzing fear."

Dio caressed the woman's neck making her turn her head to show him more of it. Dio then started rubbing where the shoulder and neck meet and digs his fingers into her.

"When you are faced with such fear you have a number of options before you and which to choose. You might struggle, resist, flee, except, or freeze." The woman continued as Dio drained the woman to death.

"But upon meeting Lord Dio a new unexpected reaction arrives, you feel joy!" The old lady said as Dio smirked.

"How do people act once they feel joy in fear?" Dio asked

"He's currently on the plane that Joestar and the others are on. They will not reach their destination safely." The old woman said before cackling.

Back on the plane a faint sound of buzzing can be heard, making Kakyoin open his eyes and look over at Avdol who also sat up straight and looked around the plane. The group of stand users cautiously looked around the plane in hope of finding the cause of the sound.

Finally a beetle came out from the other side of the plane making Jotaro stand up.

"A rhinoceros beetle..No...A stag beetle!"

"Avdol, is that a stand? Are we already encountering another stand user!?" Joseph asked as he stood up next to Jotaro.

"It is very possible. It could be a bug-shaped stand." Avdol answered, as the stag beetle disappeared from their vision.

"It hid in the shadows of the seats...Wh-Where did it go?"

Kakyoin looked around before glancing at Jotaro, only to find the stag beetle was right next to Jotaro.

"Jotaro! It's on the side of your head!" Kakyoin yelled.

"I-It's huge! It has to be a Stand. That bug is the stand." Y/n said.

"It's disgusting...But leave this to me." Jotaro said as the beetle hovered in front of him

"B-Be careful."

"I've heard there is a user of a bug stand that likes to rip out tongues of it's victims." Avdol said as Jotaro summoned Star Platinum.

"Star Platinum!" Jotaro yelled as his stand went to attack the bug stand only for it to fly out of the way.

"I-It dodged!"

"I can't believe it! It's faster than Star Platinum who's speed and precision are such that it can grasp bullets."

"It has to be a Stand. That bug is a Stand! Where is he? Where is he hiding?! Where is the one who's controlling it?!"

"I-It's attacking!" Kakyoin yelled as the stag beetle sent out it's mouth needle and shot it toward Jotaro making Star Platinum put its hand up, but it shot through his hand injuring Jotaro and going toward Star's mouth.
