And in that instant the sun showed itself above the horizon, and we were bathed in the sunlight I'd been waiting for. With a whoosh, Dio's body burned, and I thanked Beyond. Yes! The sun rose in time!
But then Dio yelled, "Arghhhh! This is bad! The sunlight doesn't hurt that much!" It doesn't? "I must hurry! Rrraghhh!" he yelled, and took the left half of his soul soundlessly from the left half of his body, and shoved it into Giovanna's dead body. Abruptly, Giovanna's flesh bulked up, his very bones growing, his limbs stretching, his features growing sharper, until he was another Dio.
Dio's personality inhabiting Giovanna's flesh had physically transformed it. Just as Diavolo had changed him. "Unhhh...****...was I in time...?" Dio said, and staggered sideways till the two halves of his body were pressed together. The instant the two halves lined up, the cut vanished, and the two halves were one whole again. In the sunlight, his entire body was on fire, but the fury with which that fire burned was waning. This man had conquered the sun.
Smoke rising off him, Dio picked up the sword from the deck, and sliced Giovanna's far too tight clothes off the other Dio. The other Dio fell to the floor, half-naked. The original Dio looked down at him, the crown of thorns appearing again. "Hmm, looks like I made it in time." Dio picked up 'Dio', threw him in the open coffin, and closed the lid. Then he sat down on the lid, and let out a long sigh. As he did, his body stopped smoking, and all trace of any burns vanished. He'd been breathing heavily, but now that, too, returned to normal. He let out one more long sigh, and looked up with a grin on his face.
"I feel amazing! Ha ha ha! Such power! This is the world of the Ultimate Thing!? It's astounding! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Ultimate...Thing?
Dio stood up and walked over to the man with the horns, lying on the desk beside me. He bent down beside him, and with a pleasant smile, bit him. He began drinking the man, chewing as he went, the speed with which he ate growing until he was straight up devouring the man. "Wa ha ha ha ha! I can eat him! I can eat the ultimate being and make his flesh my own! Blood! I just have to make the blood agree with me! Ha ha ha! Blood is everything! Becoming a vampire was the best decision I ever made! He's delicious! Cars is the best meal I've ever had! Ha ha ha ha! Hahh ha ha ha ha ! I've never felt better! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
He let out a shrill scream. He'd eaten Cars' face and brain and chest and belly and a third of his limbs and it was so disgusting I passed out again. Maybe I was better off dead.
