Oshi No Ko; You are my World (SEASON 2 BAYBEH)

20: NIGGURANDAYO

Dio stood before Aqua and Kana, the kidnappers forming an uneasy barrier between them. His hands clenched into fists at his sides as conflicting emotions waged war within him. He tried to push aside the memories of his blood-soaked past, the violence and darkness that had haunted him for so long. He had strived to be different, to be better than the monster he once was.

In his pursuit of normalcy, Dio had forged a bond with Ai, a connection that had allowed him glimpses of a life untouched by the shadows. He yearned to live peacefully, to dominate the world in a different way, with his talents and ambitions rather than bloodshed and chaos. But as he faced the kidnappers, the rage within him surged, threatening to consume everything he had built.

He glanced at Aqua, the young boy who had unknowingly stirred his protective instincts. For a brief moment, Dio contemplated the possibility of embracing his true nature of succumbing to the violence that had always been lurking beneath the surface. The temptation to unleash his fury upon those who threatened the innocence of Aqua and Kana was overpowering.

Yet, a part of Dio recognized the danger in surrendering to that primal urge. He shook his head, his features hardening with determination. He couldn't let himself be consumed by his past. He couldn't allow the monster within him to dictate his actions. He had to find a balance, a way to control the darkness that resided within his soul.

With a steady voice, Dio addressed Aqua and Kana, his eyes unwavering. "Run. Find a safe place and stay hidden until help arrives." He knew they couldn't rely on him in this moment. The battle that raged within him threatened to cloud his judgment, and their safety was paramount.

Aqua and Kana, though frightened, recognized the urgency in Dio's voice. They nodded, tears glistening in their eyes, and turned to flee. Dio watched them go, his heart heavy with conflicting emotions. He couldn't change who he was, but he could strive to control it, to protect those he cared about from the darkness that threatened to consume him.

Turning his attention back to the kidnappers, Dio's expression transformed. The cold, calculated gaze of a predator settled upon his features. In that moment, he made a choice—to confront the enemy before him, to protect the vulnerable, and to reclaim his own sense of self.

With each step forward, Dio felt the weight of his past, the burden of his violent history. But he also carried the hope of a different future, a future where he could harness his strength for good rather than destruction. The air crackled with tension as Dio unleashed a fury that left the kidnappers trembling in fear.

"Who do you think you are? Some kind of hero?" The leader yelled.

"Do you really think you can take us all on!?"

The kidnappers, their confidence waning in the face of Dio's unwavering determination, attempted to intimidate him with empty threats and taunts. They brandished their weapons, trying to shake his resolve. But Dio stood tall, unaffected by their futile attempts to rattle him.

A cold smirk played on his lips as he looked at his adversaries. His voice resonated with a chilling intensity that sent shivers down their spines. "You think you can break me? Do you think you can intimidate someone who has faced the depths of darkness and clawed his way back? I've fought my demons, and I've emerged stronger than ever."

The kidnappers faltered, uncertain of how to respond to Dio's unwavering confidence. His words hung in the air, heavy with a promise of retribution. Dio continued, his voice carrying a deadly calm. "You have brought the fury of a man who has tamed his own hell. You will face the consequences of provoking my wrath, and it will be a punishment you won't soon forget."

He paused for a moment, allowing his words to sink in. The air grew heavy with tension, the atmosphere charged with the anticipation of what was to come. Dio raised his hand, extending a warning gesture. "But I'm a generous man. I'll grant you one final chance to surrender, to flee this place, and never cross my path again. Take this opportunity to save yourselves from the darkness that will consume you."

His voice carried a mix of menace and superiority, leaving the kidnappers stunned and unsure of their next move. They exchanged wary glances, realizing the gravity of the situation they had thrust themselves into. The power radiating from Dio was palpable, and his aura suffused with an indomitable strength.

With his challenge issued, Dio awaited their response, his eyes burning with a fierce determination. He stood as a symbol of redemption and fury, a force to be reckoned with. The choice was now in the hands of the kidnappers—to surrender and face the consequences of their actions, or to flee and hope to escape the wrath of the man they had underestimated.

In that moment, Dio embraced the duality within him. The echoes of his past collided with the flicker of hope that burned within his soul. He was a man torn between his desire for normalcy and the realization that sometimes, in order to protect what he held dear, he had to unleash the fury that dwelled deep within him.

The silence stretched, charged with anticipation, as the kidnappers weighed their options. The choice they made would determine their fate, their lives forever intertwined with the legacy of Dio's relentless pursuit of justice and redemption.

It was then that Dio cracked a smile."How cute, you actually think I'd given you a chance." He whispered before taking a deep breath.

"You thought I would grant you mercy? You thought you could harm what is mine and walk away unscathed? You were wrong."

"YOUR FATE HAD ALREADY BEEN DECIDED THE MOMENT YOU TOOK SOMETHING OF MINE," He declared with the world manifesting behind him "REPENT IN HELL AND TELL THE DEVIL THAT DIO SENT YOU"
