(Nice! I like it!)

(Cairo, Egypt, JJBA non-canon universe)

DIO was sitting in his room, peacefully reading a book.

Someone approached him from behind.

"That is far enough." DIO said without even moving his head to see who was behind.

"L-Lord DIO, I have important news!" A voice called out.

"Do tell. Please, speak." DIO said.

"Y-your father, Dario, he's returned!"

Silence.

DIO closed the book, placing it on the small table next to him. He stood up, and approached the figure, the vampire concealed in the shadows. DIO towered over the figure, who was trembling in fear.

"...Is that so?" DIO spoke. "...I would hope this is only a sick joke you are pulling."

"No, really! I can prove it! My Stand, Focus, allows me to take pictures with my eyes and print it on a piece of paper!" The figure said.

"What is your name?" DIO asked.

"M-my name? Ah, yes... my name's Sterling... Yes, Sterling."

"Tell me, Sterling... what made you think it was a good idea to inform me of this?" DIO spoke slowly.

"W-well, I..."

"Are you positive that was in fact Dario, and not a mere copycat?"

"I... n-no..."

DIO brought his face closer to Sterling's.

"Then do not fool me with such blatant lies."

"Y-yes... you're right, Lord DIO... I'm sorry."

"You may make your leave." DIO said as he turned around and walked back to his chair.

Sterling started running to the door, when DIO called out. "And Sterling."

Sterling stopped. "Y-yes, Lord DIO?"

"...Do be wary."

"Of course... I will..." Sterling said as he hastily left the room.
