"Hm!"
DIO and his party were continuing their journey, moving across the clear waters of the Kasumi Straight, when a violent hum filled the air. It seemed as though, for as far as they could see, the oceans stirred violently, and heavy winds hurled themselves through the air. The Living Seal rocked along with the waves, struggling to remain anchored beside its master. Ice held his arm up to block the sea spray, and turned toward the column of light spearheading into the sky.
DIO glared on intently at the column, his body perfectly balanced against the roaring waves, unbothered by the spray or wind. The chaos subsided, and the light began to descend. DIO's head cocked to the side, and his sharply defined eyes narrowed curiously.
"Ice," he began, his voice with the conviction of a vice.
The Hayabusa immediately turned to his attention, and awaited patiently for his master's words.
"Few things in this world carry the power that we've just experienced. We'd be fools to bear witness to such a display and ignore it."
Ice understood immediately and, without the need for further instruction, the entire party made their way towards the Hokubu Ocean.
