So apparently people think Momonga and his crew are gonna be the bad guys here...

I had someone else in mind...

Regardless, enjoy more story... And more original Stands.

In the days when DIO was readying his rise to power, it wasn't out of the question for him to have his allies work in pairs. In Momonga's case, he always got paired up with Vanilla Ice, while Touch Me tended to get paired up with Johngalli A. It wasn't such a bad team-up. Undead could use darkness element to negate Vanilla Ice's Stand, Cream, by creating a counter-void so Momonga wouldn't accidentally get killed by Ice's rampages. Meanwhile Touch Me's Neon Knights was completely impervious to bullets, so he could easily stand in the line of fire from Johngalli and his Manhattan Transfer.

The real problem was their attitudes, always going on about DIO and extolling his virtues. It's not that either of them doubted DIO deserved to rule over all, he certainly had the power for it. "It was always just a matter of taking it too far," Momonga said. He sat up in his bed as he noted this. In bed with him was the succubus woman from the throne room, Albedo. "The sensors are rather weak in detecting the energy you're looking for," she noted, "There was once a great power running through the land that could have made it easier, but it seems to have vanished."

"We'll have to research how to restore it," Momonga decided, "It'll be good to work on a project with people I actually like being around. Even if it's just a pet project. DIO has long been dead, and his ambitions with him. Yet here, I may have the chance to become something greater, yet more humble. No god... But perhaps a king." The other twelve members of his circle saw him as their leader, and the beings of the tomb considered him to be a king. It would be interesting to be in charge for once, instead of being subservient to another.

Meanwhile, George and Gyro had managed to procure horses from a ruined village they had stumbled across. Using Hamon to supercharge the horses, the mounts were able to race for hours without tiring. The duo continued to find ruined town after ruined town until they found something new. A group of soldiers shifting through the ruins of a settlement. From the fact that they were helping survivors, George guessed they weren't responsible for what had happened.

What looked to be the leader of the soldiers, a rather large man with tanned skin and a full but short beard, spotted the duo. "I don't recognize those clothes," he noted, "But those horses were left from one of the settlements we spotted destroyed. I take it you stumbled across it?" George nodded. "Yes. It got us concerned, so we borrowed these horses and rode out following the carnage. We've been at it for an hour." "An hour?," one soldier asked, surprised, "It took us half a day to follow this. Is it some sort of Stand power?"

George looked surprised. "You know what Stands are?" The soldier nodded. "Yes. This world has many Stand users, most of whom work as adventurers or have high-ranking positions in the military." He nodded to his leader, indicating he too had a Stand. "Well, that simplifies a few things," George said, "But it's strange. Although I'm guessing the normal rules regarding Stands apply, it seems more people know what they are."

"We do have Stands," Gyro clarified, "But that's not what we used. We used a power called Hamon, which can amplify life force. Because of that, the horses could run for miles without need for food, water, or rest." The leader got off his own horse as the duo did the same. "My name is Gazef Stronoff," the man said, "Warrior Captain of the kingdom of Re-Estize." "I'm George Joestar III," George replied, "This is my best friend, Gyro Zeppeli." Gyro tipped his hat in greeting.

Gazef rubbed his chin. "I don't think I've heard of either of those two families." "No, you wouldn't have," Gyro said, "We entered this realm through a crack between dimensions. We came here to investigate a series of energy sources." "I think I know what you're referring to," Gazef replied, "However, those energy sources have not been active since the loss of the Spirit Tracks, powerful energy conduits emitted by the oldest of Stands in this realm, Down at the Station." He pointed to a strange sight in the distance behind them.

The duo turned and saw a giant tower, but in pieces, the pieces floating vertically above the base. "The Stand user is still alive," Gazef clarified, "But something is inhibiting Down at the Station's power. Because of it, the Spirit Tracks have been vanishing. The last of them connects to a settlement not far from here called Carne Village. We suspect whoever's been attacking settlements recently will head there next. But there's no way we can get there in time."

George narrowed his eyes. "Me and Gyro can. We'll go on ahead, try to protect the civilians and hold off whatever bandits are attacking until you show up." Gazef nodded. "Good luck, and be careful. These are no mere bandits that are attacking." George and Gyro got back on their horses and charged their Hamon. The horses immediately raced off like they were bullets. 'I still can't shake the feeling that someone is watching us,' Gazef thought to himself, 'My own Stand has been twitching for some time.'

By the time the duo reached Carne Village, an attack was already happening. Soldiers with crests different from the ones led by Gazef were attacking indiscriminately. George growled before aiming with his index. "Tusk Act 1!" A small pink creature with valentines attached to feelers extending from it appeared as George channeled Hamon into his nails, firing them off with his Stand's power, nailing several soldiers from the rate of fire, hitting them right through their armor.

Gyro got closer as they got the soldiers' attention. "Ball Breaker!" A short green humanoid with spirals for ears appeared and generated a translucent sphere that Gyro started channeling his Hamon into. It launched the sphere at the nearest soldier, surprising him as his armor started to rust almost instantly. "These people are Stand users!," one of the soldiers realized, "Inform the lieutenant!" George launched himself off his horse in a sitting position, nearing the now armorless soldier as he aimed his hand in a claw formation, causing the nails to shoot off in a manner not unlike a shotgun.

Another soldier tried to swing his sword to attack, but George was ready. "Tusk Act 2!" Tusk transformed into a larger form, with a more complete torso, actual arms, and a barrel-like appendage instead of legs. George's nails started spinning around his hand, acting like a gauntlet as he blocked incoming attack. He then punched at the soldier, his spinning nails acting like a shredder as he nailed the man's chin. Another soldier came in, but George rushed in an placed a hand on the soldier's armor. "Metal Silver Overdrive!"

The soldier got a shock as he was stunned by the surge of Hamon channeled by his own armor. Another soldier tried to attack, but got stopped when Gyro extended his arm using Hamon. "Zoom Punch!" The soldier was knocked off his feet. With no other enemies, the remaining soldiers having left to report to their lieutenant, Gyro and George looked at the two villagers lying nearby, a man and a woman. "The man's already gone," Gyro said sadly, "But the woman still has some life in her. Enough that we might be able to save her using our Hamon."

George nodded as he knelt down. "Alright. Channel a negative Hamon charge through her flesh. That should repair it. I'll channel a positive charge through her blood to draw it back into her body. That way she won't be harmed by the Hamon." Between the two of them the woman was soon breathing normally, her injuries completely healed. "T... Thank you... But my daughters..." "You and that man over there were the only ones we saw," George said.

The woman teared up at the sight of the man, who was her husband, but still looked relieved. "They managed to escape. I hope they aren't in anymore danger. We don't even know why we're being attacked. We're just a simple village settlement, one of many that's been attacked in recent days." "By now most of the carnage will have centered in the town square," Gyro noted, "We should head there and make sure no more innocent deaths occur." George nodded, and they hurried off.

Meanwhile, two young girls, Enri and Nemu Emmot, were running from some more soldiers. Before the men got close, a large portal of darkness appeared right in front of them. Out of it stepped three people. Two of them were Momonga and Touch Me, the third was another of their group called Herohero. "We caught wind of this horrendous attack through a viewing mirror," Momonga said, "To attack a village unprovoked for no practical reason... That is just despicable! Undead!"

The soldiers looked confused at first, since they couldn't see the massive skeletal mage that Momonga summoned. They soon learned what he was planning as electricity danced between his fingers. He pointed at one of them. "Dragon Lightning!" The mage copied the pointing motion before launching an electrical surge that was shaped like a serpentine dragon, striking down the first soldier. The second moved to attack, but Touch Me stood in his way. "Neon Knights!" In an instant, he was encased in his Stand, letting him easily tank the sword swing and counter with a strike of his own.

A third soldier had a bow and arrow and aimed for the two girls. Herohero quickly stepped in the arrow's path. "Chemical Romance!" His body was shrunk down and replaced by a slime version of himself, catching the arrow in its mass before shooting out and crushing the soldier with a powerful extending blow. The girls looked in shock. "You three are Stand users," Enri realized. Momonga looked surprised. "So even settlers know what Stands are. Yes, the three of us do possess Stands."

Albedo soon emerged from the portal in full plate armor. "Lord Momonga, forgive me for taking so long." She looked at the dead soldiers. "It would seem I have taken too long. May I ask what your next task is?" "Set up a defensive unit for these girls," Momonga said, "Then join me in the village. Doubtless there are more soldiers there." Albedo nodded. "As you wish." "Excuse me," Enri said, before she and her sister knelt on the ground. The three friends looked at her.

"Thank you for rescuing us," Enri said. "Thank you," Nemu also said. "May we... Ask your names?," Enri asked. Momonga grinned. "I am Momonga. This is Touch Me, and Herohero. We are three powerful Stand users of a clan called... Ainz Ooal Gown! Remember it well, for we are preparing to make ourselves known in this world. And protecting your village is just the first stop in our goals. But rest assured... We take this first step very seriously." And with that, the three newly christened Lords walked off to the village.

"Tusk Act 3!" George unleashed his Stand again, now in a more humanoid and somewhat mechanical form, resembling a beetle in many respects. He and Gyro were now in the village square, fighting against the remaining soldiers. George fired one of his nails into the ground, repositioning the wormhole near his heart just as a nearby bowman loosed his arrow, letting the arrow pass harmlessly through the hole. Nearby were was lieutenant of the soldiers, Belius, and his closest subordinate, Londes.

"Damn it...," Belius said, "We weren't actually prepared to fight a Stand user, just lure one out. And here we have two fighting against our forces. And decimating them, as one would expect." "Did you see how the first one uses his nails as weapons?," Londes noted, "And the other one seems to be able to age anything he can see. He's already caused the armor of several soldiers to rust. But what's really odd... Is that golden energy they also exude. It's clearly not part of their Stand power, but seems to work well with it."

Just then, the sounds of more of his comrades screaming was heard. He turned to see Touch Me, charging in with his shield out like a battering ram. Herohero landed in front of him before shooting out his Stand in multiple directions like spear-tips. The ground beneath their feet rumbled before erupting into rubble, taking the soldiers with it. Momonga stepped out among the rubble, unaffected by his own spell. Londes grimaced. "Just great... Now three more have shown up."

During the melee, Momonga managed to catch a glimpse of George and recognized the familiar birthmark. 'A Joestar... But I didn't come here to make them an enemy.' He then noticed Londes charging headlong at him. "Ball Breaker!" The sight of Gyro's Stand caught his attention as it launched an attack that aged Londes' armor to rust. Momonga smirked as Londes soon realized something was wrong. "Undead! Vacuum Blade!" He swiped at the air as his Stand mimicking the motion, creating a blade from air pressure that bisected Londes in an instant. The soldier was dead in seconds.

"Where are you going!?," he heard Herohero call out. He had spotted Belius running for it, and trapped him in his gelatinous form. "Momonga, I think this one should live to answer some questions." Momonga nodded, then turned to George and narrowed his eyes. George narrowed his in turn. While neither was sure if the other was an enemy, it was clear they both knew neither was working with these soldiers. But the tension was broken when the village chief approached. "Excuse me. I wish to thank all of you for saving us. However, may I ask what you plan to do with us now?" Momonga looked at the man and smirked. "Well, my friends and I were hoping to learn more about this realm."

By the time Gazef and his troops arrived at Carne Village, finding relief that the village was still intact, Momonga and George had gotten to know the realm quite well. When they were invited to meet the newcomers, George smiled. "Gazef! You missed the party!" Gazef smirked. "George! I thought you were gonna hold them off, not wipe them out!" The two of them discussed what they had learned from interrogating Belius. "So the Slane Theocracy made an attack disguising their soldiers as those from Baharuth," Gazef said as the group sat in the main hall, "I might have known."

"But why go to all the trouble?," Touch Me asked. "I can think of one reason," Gazef admitted, "They were requested to dispose of me by the noble faction of Re-Estize. It's no secret they despise the fact that a common-born like myself rose through the ranks to become what is essentially a general in all but name in the Re-Estize military, and possesses a Stand strong enough to warrant a name. Such a thing is supposed to be unheard of among the lower classes."

"In our experience beyond this realm," Momonga said, "It's not one's class that determines Stand potential, but how willing they are to evolve. By that logic there are bound to be plenty among the common folk who possess Stand potential, and only need the right trigger to awaken it." "Hey," Herohero said, "Looks like we got company outside. New soldiers, and these ones are more obviously from Slane." Gazef frowned when he saw the sight of the troops, largely dressed like mages with a troop of humanoid winged creatures with literal porcelain skin.

"Just my luck," he said, "It's the Sunlight Scripture. Their leader, Nigun Grid Luin, has a powerful Stand called Within Temptation that creates and commands angels." "It's still one Stand user versus six," Gyro noted, "How strong are the individual angels?" "It varies," Gazef said, "The smaller Affinities we're seeing are barely stronger than the average soldier, though rumor has it he has access to a more powerful angel capable of destroying whole cities."

Momonga met with Albedo outside the hall. "Send forces to the surrounding fields. We'll be dealing with Nigun and his scripture, and I want our forces ready to capture any stragglers that try to escape." Albedo nodded. "Of course." "So," George said as he approached, "We're going to war then." "A bit of an exaggeration," Momonga pointed out, "But take a look at their formation. They clearly intend to attack the village. And we just got done saving it. I think you can appreciate how insulting that is to me."

As the village finished burying their dead, and Enri and Nemu reunited with their mother Marian, the six warriors headed out to face the Sunlight Scripture. Albedo went them, wanting to see more of her Lords in action, especially Momonga. Nigun was a little surprised at the sight he saw. "Well Gazef, I expected you to finally step in the trap. But I wasn't expecting a few more mice to take the cheese." "Cheese doesn't suit a mouse's taste," Gyro quipped. George raised an eyebrow. "Wait a minute... I get that you were hunting down Gazef. But were you really destroying whole villages just to get that done?"

"He's a personal bodyguard to the king of Re-Estize," Nigun pointed out, "Drawing him out isn't as easy as it sounds. But we knew he'd come running for his fellow commoners." George sighed as he put his hands on his hips. "I'm starting to understand Robert EO Speedwagon's beef with guys like you." Nigun smirked. "I don't know who you speak of, but you'll soon learn just how superior we are. Affinity! Attack!" The angels descended to attack with their blade-tipped staves.

Momonga smirked. "Undead! Hellfire!" A blaze emerged from his Stand's fingertip, engulfing the angels and incinerating them. "Neon Knights!" Touch Me donned his armor before slashing through several Affinities. "Tusk Act 1!" George fired his nails off at rapid speed, easily striking through several angels. The ones that were killed quickly faded to dust. Nigun growled at how easily his angels were being dispatched. "Within Temptation! Come forth, Fairness!"

The crystal glowed before conjuring a four-legged angel that looked to be a cross between a dog and dragon. Gazef just smirked. "It may be stronger, but when it's one-on-one I can handle it easily. Dawn of Battle!" Brilliant light engulfed Gazef. When it subsided, he was encased in a brilliant white armor, though it kept the familiar X-shaped sigil from his regular armor. The Fairness launched a fireball at Gazef, who grinned as he easily tanked the burst of flame. "Not enough. Dawn of Battle prevents burning, and my body can regenerate while my Stand is active."

He rushed forward at unthinkable speed, before slashing his sword right through the angel, cleaving it in two easily. "I can also cut through any defense, and possess endless stamina thanks to my Stand's power." Nigun was getting irate. "Soldiers! Make ready to attack! I'll use my strongest angel to finish these fools here and now! Within Temptation! Come forth, Glamor!" At once, a giant serpent with bird wings and a marbled image of a human face near its torso appeared from a summoning circle.

The giant creature launched a massive beam of energy. George grinned. "My Stand's not the only thing at my disposal." He drew out a few strands from his hair. "A little trick from my dad! Hamon Hair Attack!" He channeled Hamon through the follicles, creating a wide barrier that easily deflected the beam. "Nice work," Momonga said, "You Joestars certainly know how to pull off the impossible. As for this angel... It's powerful, but I have a perfect attack for such dangerous beings. An attack so deadly even DIO feared it. Undead! Black Hole!"

His Stand pointed, and a singularity void appeared in front of the Glamor, expanding only slight as it sucked in the giant angel with little effort before dissipating. Nigun was left dumbstruck. "My... My strongest angel... How...?" The other soldiers were reluctant to attack at this point, as George drew close. "You've been attacking villages just to draw one man out. One man who, as far as I can tell, deserves everything he got in life. Know this... A Joestar does not forgive such evil." He narrowed his eyes. "Tusk... Act 4!" Tusk appeared, now looking complete with a full body, it's head mounted on its broad chest. Nigun gasped as the Stand made its attack.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!" Nigun beaten to a bloody mess, but still alive. Later, Momonga and his friends returned to the village. "Momonga," Albedo said, "Was it alright to let those three take custody of Nigun?" "It'll be fine," Momonga assured her, "We have other plans to make. Gazef extended an invite to Re-Estize. We'll take him up on that, but we won't immediately approach the palace. Instead we'll gather information from the lower parts of the city. Our search for the sources of energy begins now."

Meanwhile Gazef and his troops were heading back to Re-Estize, George and Gyro with them. The two horses they had found seemed to have imprinted on the duo, and Gazef mentioned the horses were now their's by right. Gyro named his Valkyrie, while George decided to call his Slow Dancer. Nigun was being dragged along on a mule offered by the village. "How will you keep him contained to interrogate him?," George asked. Gazef held out Nigun's Stand. "It seems its nature makes it a tangible object, and Nigun can't access it while he doesn't have it."

George nodded. "We still need to find a way to get to that tower. If it holds the means of finding the energy sources we seek..." "There is one person who might be able to help with that," Gazef said, "She's a member of the royal family, and thus has permission to access the tower. Her name is Stella Lux Iumen Ryle Vaiself, eldest daughter of the king. Everyone who knows her calls her Starlight Glimmer. She is also a Stand user. If anyone could help you solve the mystery of what happened with the tower, she could."
