STANDO POWA

With the Hag

Sitting in a dimly lit room, Dio waits minorly impatient

Looking around he speaks

"So where is this Power you claim to have"

"Now now, Hol your Horses"

Tch

"You must be worthy to wield such power or else your life may be at risk"

Dio's gaze sharpens

"Is that a threat?"

"No… it's a guarantee"

Hmm?

Her heartbeat hasn't increased

The old hag reaches behind her and pulls out a bow and arrow

"This is your shot at ruling the world"

With Rias

After Sona left, Rias was left to ponder

"I need to get stronger…"

It's true she couldn't face Riser at the level she was now, she needed to get stronger instead of depending on others to solve this problem

She was gonna manipulate Issei into dying so he could be loyal to her. All off of the hope that he has a decent sacred gear he could very much just have a twice-critical

"I'll beat Riser"

With a look of determination, she summoned her peerage and they set off to train to prepare for the upcoming rating game that'll determine their fates for the rest of their long demonic lives

With Sirzechs

An unknown being of an unknown race residing within his little sister's territory

He can't waltz in guns blazing less he wishes to earn the ire of an entire unknown faction

"Rias… So many problems revolve around you, is it just bad luck?"

The strongest being of all 3 factions, reduced to such a state how humorous

"I'll just have to set up a meeting with this man"

He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair to rid the headache he was experiencing

Unknown Cave

The scent of blood filled the cave

"Haaaaaaah"

Standing over the carcass of the once great Enyaba Dio revels in his newfound power

"I could not dream of such power… heh heh heh"

…

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

"Time itself bends to my will, and after devouring that wretch I became even stronger!"

"5 SECONDS! She didn't even notice a thing, heh heh heh"

Seeing the morning rays of sunlight creep through the cracks of the wooden door Dio shortly stops his power frenzy

Tonight…

Tonight is when I'll show those brats the might of Dio
