Dio Plant

“So you’re offering your arm?” Reggie said. “Then I’ll gladly accept!”

Reggie slammed the Wiimote into Dio’s arm and closed his eyes in anticipation of the blood and bone splinters that would follow. But he felt nothing. A terrible feeling filled Reggie’s stomach as he opened his eyes. The Wiimotes had met their mark— but Dio’s arm had merely been warped in shape!

“Surprised at my ’squishiness?’” Dio said. “Recall that my, STAND, 『EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD』, grants me the ability of all living things. You would do well to recall that the ’sponge’ is an animal. That’s right, Reggie. The very moment your Wiimotes collided with me, I transformed my arm into a ’sponge’!”

“No!” said Reggie. “It’s not possible!”

“Yes!” Dio said. “This is the power granted to me by my STAND!”

Dio inched closer. Reggie tried to remove his Wiimotes from Dio’s skin, but they were stuck.

“Don’t bother,” said Dio. “I am secreting ’sticky tree sap’ from my pores as we speak. Recall that ’plants’ are living things.”

Reggie tried to undo the straps, but they were on too tight. Curses! How fitting that in a fighting style based on recklessness, his one safety measure would be his downfall.

Dio leaned in close. “Do you know what else is a ’plant?’”

Reggie gulped. “What?”

“A CACTUS!” Thin spikes jutted out of Dio and embedded themselves into Reggie. He howled in pain as the spikes tore through the Wiimote strap, sending him tumbling to the ground.
