"W... Ace, are you-?"
Patrick froze at the sound of the voice. He stared up at the newcomer with wide, wavering emerald eyes, gut instinct already telling him that this guy was bad news. Or maybe it was just Van's natural divination abilities. Either way, Patrick had a bad feeling about this.
He stood rigid between Ace and Artemis. Evan, noticing Patrick's behavior, quickly took a defensive stance in front of his master, snarling at his latest enemy.

Artemis looked to the new comer. What I wouldn't give for sight and my guns? Artemis thought as she started to pull a chained pendulum from a tattoo that covered her arm.

Ace promptly stopped walking when the blond-haired man approached them. It didn't take long for her to start feeling uncomfortable from the look he was giving them. She could only hope than any quips about her half-fallen angel half-demon visage wouldn't cross his mind. Not that she was expecting any formalities otherwise. This guy looked like a total wiener.
Going back to her original thought process, Ace was willing to take anything different that wasn't this.
She took a deep breath and lowered her eyelids, doing her best to keep calm. She had been so close to snapping back there. Not going down that road again was preferable. "Okay... Look... I'm really not in the mood for this, so if you could just..."

Dio just smirked a bit, putting one of his hands on a hip and slowly making his way towards the group in what honestly looked like a supermodel walk. "This is quite the lovely chance for me; quite the interesting group we have amassed here. Tell me..."
Dio grinned, his tongue licking his top lip for a moment. "Which of you wants to give blood first?"

"Er, wha...?" Patrick squeaked, still too petrified to react in any other way.
Oh great, what do we have here, a f***ing vampire? Ray grumbled. B**** please. We can handle this fruit, Patrick!
Let's not be hasty, Van insisted as he analyzed the situation. Keeping Ace safe and Evan out of trouble are priority.
Evan's snarls amplified into an angry roar as he circled around Patrick, keeping himself between his master and the monster.

"This ain't a blood bank," Artemis offered. "Now back off or you're in for pain." Don't have to tell them my job and it's for the better with this freak, she thought.

Well, that was all the reason Ace needed to draw her staffs again.
"Yeah, no," Ace spat. "I think you've got enough blood in that head of yours, so why don't you mosey on?"

Dio laughed at that, hands still on his hips. "Ahahahah!"
He folded his arms, leaning back a bit, legs still straight. "I really don't think you have a choice in the matter. Blood grants me strength, and I will need a lot of it. So then..."
The vampire grinned, fangs visible, before he pointed at them.
"The World!"
In an instant, a strange almost-mechanical looking humanoid figure burst from the man's body, swinging a fist at the nearest of the group. "MUDA MUDA!"

"YIPE!" Patrick scrambled back, startled by the attack and the manner in which it came about. His petrified body jolted awkwardly in his efforts to dodge the fist swung his way.
And just as quickly, Evan sprung at the advancing figure, roaring furiously, grabbing it by the outstretched arm and aiming his fanged, wide-open mouth at its neck.
Different! Enemy! Must fight! Must protect AlpHA! Must be ONE! MuSt KIlL! MUSt dESTRoY WhAT DOesN't BELONG!!

"You don't need it to survive," Artemis taunted. "Smart pup." She start to swing her pendulum slightly.

"Patrick!!" Everything happened so quickly that Ace barely had time to react. She quickly flew over to Patrick, catching him and pulling him out of the way just as Evan jumped on the man's bizarre automaton. Then, ready to defend her lover, Ace aimed to strike the attacking figure should Evan's attempts prove fruitless.
Whoever this douchebag was, he was asking for it.

As his Stand was grabbed, Dio just grinned... then clapped his hands twice. The World disappeared from Evan's grasp, and as Ace swung at the vampire... he suddenly disappeared, reappearing a little ways back and to the side. "Such anger, such power in your swing... rather tough to defeat what you can't touch. Care to try again?"

When his prey disappeared out from under him, Evan ungracefully tumbled to the ground and hastily scrambled back onto his hands and feet, frantically searching about for the creature. He had to make it pay. He had to protect his master. He had to destroy what was different.
Patrick jumped slightly, shocked just by what he was seeing. Van quickly deduced what was going on. A time stopper...?
Fan-tucking-fastic! Ray groaned. At least he's more interested in taunting us than attacking us.
Patrick, perhaps you should let me take over. Two can play at this game.
Oh, and you think you stopping time will somehow stop him from doing the same?!
"Let me try something," Patrick murmured with a surprising amount of seriousness.
He slammed his foot down, green light shooting up from the ground beneath him. He then waved his hands, guiding that green light to spread out in both directions until it formed a large circle around the group. The light immediately vanished afterwards, and to the naked eye, the magical energy had done nothing, but the mage and his other selves knew otherwise.
A wall of force, Van mused. Interesting choice.

Artemis quirked and eyebrow. "Never said we couldn't go after you," she retorted before starting to swing her weapon slightly.

Once Dio reappeared behind her, Ace didn't hesitate to whirl around and swing her staff at him again, building up the gravitons around the staff to increase the force of its strike tenfold. At the same time, she charged up the particles around her to create an electrical field and blasted the resulting lightning at the vampire.
So long as they were stuck there, she was hitting this son of a douche for all he was worth.
