You heard several 'mudas' followed by the sound of a distant crash and you quickly looked in the direction of the noise to see Jotaro crashing through the corner of a not so distant building. Dio's practically glowing form dove after the Kujo. Probably planning to pummel him into the ground. With a small sigh you began jogging closer to where they had landed, not certain you could even contribute anything anymore.

"And now, without pause, my final attack!" Shouted Dio, loud enough for the whole city to hear if they listened closely enough. "The last and final time that I, Dio, will stop time! Within my nine seconds of stopped time, I shall end this!"

Nine Seconds?! Dio's time stop ability had increased by that much from drinking up Joseph's blood? If Jotaro could still only do it for about two or three seconds, then the scales were tipped quite favorably in Dio's direction.

"The World!" Dio shouted the words for what he claimed would be the last time.

You looked around, a bit confused as to how you were suddenly standing in front of what looked like a road roller. Jotaro's hand was resting on your waist protectively as Dio was on the ground looking up at the two of you. His breathing was heavy and blood splurted out of his knees.

"I don't feel even the slightest bit of compassion for you." Spoke Jotaro to the vampire. "I haven't even an ounce of pity for you. However, just finishing you off by beating you to death now would leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure (Y/N) feels the same way." You nodded in agreement to what he said, despite still being incredibly confused on how things had gotten to this point.

Jotaro continued speaking, "How many seconds will it take for your legs to recover? Three seconds? Four? The moment you've healed, I'll throw Star Platinum at you, and I'm sure (Y/N) would like a strike or two herself. So bring it on!" The Kujo sauntered closer to the vampire, "If I were a gunslinger in a western film, I'd say... Draw. Let's see who's the fastest gun in the West."

Dio grit his fanged teeth as he manage to get onto his knees. His red eyes darted anxiously between you and Jotaro. His legs were shaking as he slowly but steadily stood back up again. Although, you weren't too fond of the smile that had made its way across his lips.  "How I win... does not matter!" Shouted the vampire as blood squirted out of his wound and into the Kujo's eyes. "How do you like being blinded by my blood?! Sure, I may not have control over it like (Y/N) does, but the hit was pretty accurate, no?" He brought out his Stand again, "I've won! Dio!" His Stand went in for a kick.

Jotaro loosened his hold on you to swing his fist through the air, making Star Platinum's punch collide with The World's leg. At first, the purple Stand's hand seemed to crack. Dio smirked, thinking his victory was certain. However, the split second later where the leg of The World began to shatter erased his confidence.

"What?!" Dio cried out in pain as his Stand began to break apart, his own body forced to meet the same fate. "I-Impossible... I-I'm Dio... I am Dio!"

You let out an exasperated sigh, "Yes, that is indeed your name." You balled your hand into a fist, "Now could you please just shut the hell up!" Your Stand appeared and landed an uppercut to the vampire's face. The punch wasn't exactly strong by any means. However, thanks to Dio's injured state, it did more damage than it would have under more normal circumstances. His head exploded as it fell onto the street and limbs had been flung around the surrounding area.

Jotaro put a hand on your shoulder, calming you down somewhat, "Now we just need to wait until dawn and his body will be reduced to dust, right?"

You nodded as you nudged Dio's body with your foot, "Yup, then we'll finally be rid of this monstrosity for good." You used the sleeve of your uniform to help wipe off some of the blood still around Jotaro's eyes. "You really had me worried, though, JoJo. I'm actually kind of surprised you managed to beat him, but you're a lot stronger than I am, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised."
