The Ludicrous Escapade

Proof

It had been two days, and still Jonathan has yet to return from his search. You spent the time at your father's side. If the old Joestar needed anything you'd immediately ask someone to retrieve it or simply get it yourself. Dio stayed away from you, for the most part. He couldn't really do much to you with the doctors and the older Joestar in the room with you. This made it easier to keep your promise to Jonathan.

You were standing at the top of the staircase when a coachman rushed into the building and started talking to Dio. You were curious what he had to say so you listened in.

"What? JoJo went to Ogre Street alone?"

"I'm sorry, but yes."

"Don't worry Sir Joestar with this."

"Yes, sir."

After the man left, Dio went to his room. He came out wearing a blue top that had yellow accents with a matching cloak with feathers protruding from it near the collar. He placed a black top hat on his head. He was going somewhere and you intended to follow him.

You had followed him for a while. Dio had purchased some Irish whiskey and was drinking it straight from the bottle while stumbling down the street. He seemed rather angry with himself. The sight almost made you pity him, almost.

Dio bumped into two guys who had been walking in the opposite direction. One was rather tall and skinny while the other was shorter and chubby. They were definitely not pleased to have bumped into the blonde man.

The chubby one spoke first, "Watch where you're going, numbskull! Hey friend, check if the brat left a pee stain on my coat!"

The skinny one laughed, "Are you deaf, you snot-nosed punk?"

Dio glared at them angrily and smashed the bottle he was holding into the shorter man's mouth. You couldn't really see how bad the wound was from your position, but based on his scream of pain, it definitely hurt.

"You won't get away with that!"

The taller man proceeded to pull out a knife. Things were definitely going to get out of hand. Smashing a bottle into someone's face is one thing, but Dio would likely kill them if they continued to agitate him.

"A disgusting insect like you has a lot of nerve to speak to me like that." He licked his finger, "What an excellent opportunity."

You realized what he was planning to do. He was going to test out the mask. Sure enough, Dio pulled out the mask. If you didn't hurry the man might die, but you were also curious about how the mask worked. So you went against the voice in your head that told you to help the people that would likely die and stayed put.

"I'll try this on you before I use it on JoJo."

"What are you blabbering about?!"
The man rushed at Dio and swung his knife at him. Dio dodged the attack easily and put the mask on the man's face.

"A live body experiment!" He pushed him towards the shorter one and when close enough, he sliced the guy's neck which caused blood to splatter onto the stone mask. The mask glowed for a bit, also creating wind that pushed Dio's hat off. The spikes pierced the man's head. He stood still for a short period and then collapsed into some nearby crates, breaking them. He seemed dead. Perhaps you should've tried to stop him. Dio walked over to the dead, masked man and kicked his face.

"Just a boring little toy for torturers."

Dio walked over where his hat had fallen and put it back on his head. While he did this you noticed the masked man was slowly standing up. Whatever the man had become seemed dangerous and it looked like it was going to attack Dio. So you stepped out from your hiding spot.
