Special Omake 1: Dio's Bizarre Tree Incident...

[Main Writer: Master Blaster (SpaceBattles)]

Experiment #40, Golden Spin Overdrive

[…] My second attempt was a little more ‘brazen’ considering that I focused to spin the ball of steel some more before throwing it against the tree and… this time something more happened.

A blossomed daisy popping resolutely and suddenly from the bark of the tree, this time my smile widening at the better result.

I continued with my experiments for twenty minutes, maybe thirty, before deciding that it was time to return back to where JoJo was before getting in trouble about my unexpected disappearance-

But before I was really gone, I thought about how my progress with The Spin were showing some admirable results. It was interesting how flexible of an ability the Spin was and… I decided to make one last test before going.

On a whim, I decided to see if it'd be possible to infuse both the Spin, and Hamon at the same time. Both mystical forces dictated on a similar level, but both worked on two different sets of rules, with the Ripple being more magical in nature while the rotation-induced power followed logical laws of nature.

Initially, the experiment proved to be a bit frustrating. I started by infusing hamon into a small metallic sphere as the Spin started to appear around the rotating object. After coming close to get pincushioned by metallic shards from the exploding balls, I ultimately replaced these with a wooden replica for the ultimate experiment..

Perhaps it was the metal since I knew that it wasn’t a good conduit for hamon, and that getting it to work well with the best medium to utilize the Spin would take some time.

A small experiment started to slowly take more time that I had planned for… but the results were undeniably satisfying.

It was tough early on, and it took me about a dozen tries before I had some positive aftermaths. This time the sphere didn’t came to explode, and I started to get rough grasps of how to infuse hamon within and around a metal, which was already a good thing whatever or not my experiment was going to work.

A couple more of minutes passed but soon I felt confident that I would be able to merge the The Spin with Hamon.

It was time to give it a serious time… and I planned for a 'tree blooming' exercise.

For awhile, I felt the Spin cycle through the ball, coating it in energy. Soon I started to focus my breath and channel hamon into the Sphere until I felt the life energy, the Ripple itself through the sphere, starting to increase the pace of the rotation to endless momentu

It was brilliant, and I could feel something about the Spin starting to ‘click’ properly within my mind and soul. It took all of my concentration just to avoid losing control over either forces.

I waited, patiently drawing stability within that sudden intensification before I could launch the orb comfortably at a crown from where a section of branches slit into that I had selected as my target. I needed precision, I needed accuracy.

Just as I felt the timing being right, I felt enticed to speak and… to try something interesting I felt the need to say. A new technique… it needed a proper name after all.

"Golden Spiral OVERDRIVE!" I half-shouted, remembering that some passing servants could’ve noticed my little act, and then I launched the hamon-infused, rotating sphere at the tree.

The metal soared, my orange-eyed stare keeping locked onto the flying object with modest fascination and glee.

Now, let’s see how a tree branch would fare against a hamon infused sphere...

SLIP

At first, nothing happened as the projectile collided onto its target. But then I noticed the branches twisting, starting to shake suddenly and abruptly.

Soon flowers started to sprout in those, blooming from within the tree’s core and essence. It wasn’t a specific kind of flower, but a wide variety that just felt mesmerizing to stare at as it slowly began to reach beyond the branches.

It was a fascinating success that got my jaws dropping in pleasant awe.

Still, I couldn't help but notice that wealth of flowers continued to bloom under my stare, the process reaching down to the base trunk of the tree itself. While I noticed the branches themselves creaking and still twisting. No, it was somehow shaking, as if trying to rotate on itself...

SSLL... SSLL... SSLL...

I stood on guard at the surprising sight. I began to notice that vines were starting to sprout from these flowers and that those too began to slowly spin.

There was a rumbling seemingly coming from the ground itself. I was confused as I kept staring at the tree as it continued to blossom beyond my previous attempts.

Did I, Dio, somehow create a bizarre tree, one mutated by a harmonious approach of both Hamon and Spin energies?

A weird development, that left me perplexed at the curious scene. But one that I had yet to check on a more technical level. I stabilized my breath again, crouching down as I tapped at the land in an effort to sense what was happening ‘internally’ within my specimen.

It was life-force that greeted me, but it wasn’t the usual reading I would get from a common tree. The energy, it was still spiraling from within that tree, and it was burning brighter as it kept rotating. I opened my eyes in visible shock, only just now realized that the trunks are beginning to brow slowly, as if it's expanding outward.

New vines grew from the ‘hollowed’ trunk. It didn’t have wood inside, but flowers. So many flowers.

Feeling intrigued by the bizarre pattern, I decided to walk closer and observe better what was changing with the tree.

It was only after a couple of steps toward it that I noticed that the pattern of the rotating flowers just resembled that of the golden ratio. And on closer look, the branches were not breaking under the duress of the constantly rotating.

It's as if the Hamon… was repairing the damage caused by the Spin, soothing the pain too in the process, while being further fueled by the Rotation itself in an infinite process of activities.

While I was mesmerized by the massive success, my attention was stripped away by the tree itself as I felt something creep closer to where I was.

I jumped away just in time as I noticed that some of the vines had sneaked around and had been close to latch onto me. I was annoyed by the sudden attack from my creation… but then I realized that tree wasn’t only slowly gaining more life-force. The retracting vines gave off a degree of understanding, of perception that I was now aware of that attempt to take hold of me.

It was… becoming intelligent. And it wanted… me?

*RUMBLE RUMBLE*

I could feel the ground starting to shake, and I was forced to take a few steps back as multiple objects suddenly grew from within out of the dirt floor, shredding some of the grass in the process.

Roots, that were wriggling upwards-!!

Those were following the same spinning manner akin to the tree’s flowers, but soon their pace seemed to hasten within their rippling rotations...

The vines returned to approach me, this time displaying new flowers… and stopping by the flowers growing within the roots.

I noticed that all of the tree's leaves were covered in nothing, but rotating flowers, that began to shed away from the branches and fly towards the sky…

I blinked in utter shock at the fact that those leaves weren’t the previous green. But a suave and mellow pink.

... Did I, Dio, managed to create an ever blooming [Sakura Tree] nearby the Joestar manor?
