Frightened out of his mind, Sterling had told DIO of the entire conversation the former had with DARIO, even showing the picture he printed earlier with his Stand.

"P-please... forgive me, Lord DIO, I only wanted to save my own life! But I realize, that was selfish..." Sterling looked down in shame.

DIO did not say anything. He simply held the picture; and his hands shook. After a few moments, the vampire crushed the notecard in his hand.

"It seems that even the power of Stands extends to centuries old corpses..." DIO spoke. "...this is truly, a living nightmare."

"Lord DIO, I-" Sterling started to say.

DIO held up a hand. "Save it. I do not need your incessant whining. Get out of my sight."

Sterling did what he said and ran out of there.

The vampire had to prepare. This was different than fighting Jonathan. This was different than defeating Joseph. This was even different from fighting Jotaro, who proved to outmatch DIO.

This was DIO vs his own abusive father.

And he had hell to raise.
