After getting back to the carriage with Pucci, you had been listening to the ongoing discussion with little interest until something that Diavolo said caught your attention, "you fool, even if riding a horse would be the only true way of traveling I wouldn't ride one, not here or in any other universe."

"What do you mean?" You asked him, "what? I hate horses-" "no, I meant other universes, what do you know about them?" You questioned, everyone seemed to look uneasy until Diego spoke up, "well, in my universe, there weren't such things as 'stand arrows' but rather a body of the Christ himself that granted powers to one," he stated before turning to glare at Diavolo, "and in my universe, horses truly are the true way of traveling-" "you mean in your 'timeline'? But in the future, your little horsey belongs between a sandwich as it has no other purpose." Diavolo said earning a scoff from the jockey.

"I reset the universes and create new ones," Pucci stated calmly he had already explained this ability of his to you before, "yeah with an ability you got from this guy's counterpart," Diavolo said to Pucci while pointing at Diego who still held a glare on his face, "and unlike Dio's time stop I skip time," Diavolo stated, "I would only need mere milliseconds to beat every single one of you." He said somewhat proudly, "yeah but didn't you get beaten by a brat?" Diego sneered.

"Yes, but here's the thing unlike you I never died." Diavolo stated, "yeah but even when you didn't die you were in a death loop right? Which meant you've probably been to more universes that we could ever imagine, so how does it feel to die in all of those universes?" Diego asked as Diavolo glared at him.

You and Doppio sat silently as the two of you listened to the conversation go, Doppio was extremely confused about what they were talking about at this point while you tried to remember all of this.

"And you, I think I already know your ability!" Diavolo suddenly said as he pointed his finger at you, "really?" You questioned, "yes if the American President was correct you would be able to change the directions of fate." He said in a cool tone, "are you sure?" You asked as you raised your eyebrow, "yes, let's test this, have you met someone from the Joestar bloodline?" The mafia boss asked you, "Joestar bloodline? I believe I met Shizuka Joestar." You told him as Pucci seemed to be restless and you could hear him counting numbers, prime numbers to be exact.

"Oh, wasn't she the girl on the boat that you killed?" Doppio asked nervously, "correct, but what does her bloodline have to do with anything?" You questioned as Diego and Diavolo glanced at each other, "that specific bloodline has been nothing but a thorn on our side, it seemed they always had the fate on their side, much to my dislike." Pucci said as he stopped his counting.

"Even when they are dead it seems the fate doesn't change," Pucci stated in a sinister voice.


"Let me ask a better question," Diego said as he observed you, "do you have any enemies?" He asked, "I don't consider anyone to be my enemy truly, but I might be someone's enemy, but I'm not sure who's enemy I truly am." You answered him he only looked at you with the face of disbelief.

"Besides, I only wish to finish my collection, I want to write." You told them, "excuse me, you can travel via this dreamlike world, and all you want to do is write?" Diego questioned you, he seemed to be in pure disbelief, "and what do you wish to do?" You asked him, "change his fate." Pucci answered for Diego.

"And you expect me to do it?" You asked him, "Is that why everyone is here, to change their fate?" You asked as you glanced around the carriage.

"Yes, and I expect you to do it," Diavolo snapped at you, "how do you think I can do that? Besides hasn't it already changed?" You questioned him, "butterfly effect." He said simply, "excuse me?-" "You use the butterfly effect to truly change it, that is why it has already affected us," Diavolo said to you.

"Don't talk about butterflies, I don't want her puking them again," Diego said as he leaned back.

"No, how can I have done anything if you were the ones that came into this universe?" You questioned trying to keep your cool, "by being alive, by being born you had already changed it." Diavolo said to you in a cold tone, he seemed to be in thought, "that means it doesn't matter what type of ability you have, you already changed up the game."



You didn't get to say anything else as an explosion was heard, "I knew it!" Diego yelled out as he got up, "use whatever the hell your powers are to change this!" Diego yelled seemingly out of fear, "sit down if you're so afraid," Diavolo scoffed as he got up, he glanced at you already seeing how you had left the carriage, Pucci was gonna go after you but Diavolo stopped him, 'go change the fate' he kept thinking, he wanted to see what you could do.



you could see smoke rising as Kira turned around to look at you, "oh don't mind me, I'm just going to stop this train," He stated as his stand manifested next to him, "and then I'll take you." He said in a chilling tone, "what will you do then?" You asked him, staying completely calm, he seemed to be in thought as he watched you.

Your stand finally decided to come out, "Master, are you sure? The progress will be wiped away and we have to start from the beginning." It spoke as it read your thoughts like a book, "yes, I am certain." You said as you closed your eyes, focusing on your move.

Kira stood still as he watched you, he could see your stand moving around you as the humanoid observed you, what were you planning on? Was it an attack? Kira got ready to defend himself, but something unexpected happened, the stand of yours shot an arrow at him as it saw him move, the arrow shining brightly made him turn his gaze away.
