In fairness... from what I hear, that is a legitimate way to look at Jonathan's and Dio's relationship.
Jonathan and Dio's relationship was defined by, sequentially, Dio being as much of a dick to Jonathan as he could manage, Dio pretending to be a stand-up guy while plotting further acts of dickery, and Dio being a ravaging monster siccing his zombie hoard on Jonathan. And then, you know, killing Jonathan on his honeymoon. Granted, Jonathan probably wasn't ever aware of the depths of Dio's dickery, but he was there for Dio poisoning his dad and the whole ravaging monster thing. Any friendship there is very bizarre indeed.
How could the magnets have moved if they were supposed to be stopped in time?
Okay, so stuff Dio is handling can move during timestop. Like the knives he tosses that hang in midair once they leave his hands. Since one of the magnets is on him, it's not stuck in time and can move the magnet on Jotaro.
 
[X] Wait, you can control these things? Tell 'em to stop chewing on the civvies, then!
-[X] When this fails, try getting some info on the why/how of it - has somebody else taken over? Can we shut them down? Do they have weaknesses? Are you being a total unreasonable human-hating bi- Could there be a third explanation that in no way incriminates or antagonizes you?
--[X] Like, fire? Does fire work? There's probably some cars out there that people wouldn't mind donating to the "help Jotaro save everyone's asses" initiative...
-[X] Wait, shit, Mizore can just freeze them to death, like that weird cold snap that made Mom freak out about her rose bushes last winter! That way they'll die without me having to blow up half the city doing it!
--[X] I'll still go with her, though. Damned if I'm going to sit around and not punch out plant monsters.
-[X] Tsukune should stay with Yukari. See if either of you can get Inner Moka on the case.
-[X] Kurumu? You can go see if there's any people who are hurt. Like, not 'human taco meat' hurt, but just kind of jacked up in a way you get better from. See if they need anything, like... actually, how do normal people handle getting hurt? Legitimately asking here.
 
[X] People are dying, but you can't just rush in without a plan. First of all: "Ruby, try to control them and make them stop attacking." If it works and the rampage stops, question her on what might have unleashed them like this and try to get a hold of Gramps.
-[X] If it doesn't work, ask her about their weaknesses and fight them to the best of your ability.
--[X] Could this be the work of an enemy Stand? For some reason, Ruby seems to be the only one here capable of seeing those things. Have her stay close to you during the fighting and tell her to keep an eye out for anything weird. For now, trust her to not stab you in the back.
-[X] If Ruby didn't call for these things, who did? Time to put those stalker skills to good use. "Mizore, help where you can, but try to locate whoever is controlling these things. If you find them, come get me at once."
-[X] "Kurumu, do your best to protect and evacuate civilians. Try to bring the wounded to Moka for healing."
-[X] "Tsukune and Moka, go get Yukari and bring her back to this room. I want you to protect her and whoever Kurumu brings to you." As useful as Inner Moka's strength would be in a fight, that healing blood could save a lot of lives.
--[X] Leave your mobile phone with Tsukune and have him explain what's going on if Grandpa tries to contact it.
---[X] If Joseph has his own mobile phone, have Tsukune attempt to contact him and explain the situation. If he doesn't have it already, give Tsukune Joseph's number before leaving. If something happens that Inner Moka and Kurumu can't deal with, Tsukune should call Joseph for backup.
---[X] If he can think of someone else to contact for help, he should do so. Maybe the people that came on a trip with the Youkai Academy school bus, even if there's no guarantee that they will be close enough to help.

hOi goYs!
 
Somebody write an omake based on this, I'd do it, but I haven't seen enough of either series to get the characters right
So she can sneak up on DIO and blast him with a UV floodlight at point-blank range?
This. This needs to be an Omake. Metaphorical bonus points if she manages to hit him with it in stopped time somehow.
Alright, you asked for Snake-tier stealth Mizore. I can't guarantee top quality, but I gave it my best shot.

The Girl Who Sold The World. Writing this was worth it just for this pun.
When they saw what was inside the coffin, Jotaro's survival instincts screamed.

"Everyone, get..."

And then, as suddenly as it came, it passed. The danger was gone.

"Wait!"

"Jotaro, what's going on? Do you know where DIO is?"

Jotaro ignored his grandfather's questions and instead looked around the room before singling out a specific section of wall. Casually walking up beside it, he tapped it with a single Hamon-infused knuckle. Mizore holding an UV light and a rapidly disintegrating DIO fell out of the secret compartment. Mizore squeaked as she landed on her butt. DIO said nothing as his ashes scattered in the dry Egyptian air.

A long silence settled over the room, before finally being broken by Polnareff.

"You know, this explains a lot of things."

*Cue flashbacks*

By the time you read this was as far as Muhammad Avdol got before his foot slipped and he crashed onto his back. A moment later, a large chunk of the wall vanished as some unstoppable force consumed it.

"Avdol! What happened? Are you okay?!"

"I am alright. Polnareff, listen carefully. We are under attack by a Stand, but it has a weakness. I believe that it is blind while attacking as it only struck when I was distracted by the writing on the wall and it did not adjust its course. Our enemy may believe that I'm dead, so you and Iggy fight on without me for now. I will wait for an opportunity."

*Some time later*

"How dare you force me strike down an image of DIO?! You will die slowly for this blasphemy. I will tear you apart with my bare hands!" Before he had made it halfway to Iggy, Vanilla Ice was incinerated when a Crossfire Hurricane erupted from the floor.
Vanilla Ice. Status: DECEASED.

Few things in nature move faster than a falcon striking its prey. Unfortunately for Pet Shop, not even he could halt such a strike when his wings were frozen in midair. He crashed into the ground, spreading the pieces of his shattered body across the Cairo streets as he missed Iggy by the slimmest margin imaginable. Iggy, wounded but not mutilated, started making his way back to the rest of the group.
Pet Shop. Status: DECEASED.

"Why didn't the chocolate melt!? It was supposed to melt in the sun! You cheated, Joseph! You must have! Admit it! There is no way you could have defeated me, Daniel J. D'Arby, without cheating! How did you do it?! Tell me!"
Daniel J. D'Arby. Status: RETIRED.

Oingo and Boingo froze, both literally and in fear. They saw themselves in the comic book showed as some kind of horrible monster stalked closer. It was always hidden just out of panels, and they dared not turn around to see it with their own eyes. Something freezing cold even when compared to the ice covering their legs reached out and touched the back of their necks. Terrified out of his wits, Boingo did the only thing he could do. He turned the page. Slowly, the panels started filling in as the brothers and the thing behind them both read. They saw the shadow of the monster looming over them move away, leaving ice covering the ground where it walked. They saw their comic selves eventually thawing, traveling away from their targets, and away from DIO.

The brothers sighed in relief as the pressure on their necks lifted and the monster left. They knew how harshly DIO punished treachery, but they dared not disobey the comic and risk another encounter with that terrifying creature.
Oingo and Boingo. Status: RETIRED.

"How do you even manage to get hypothermia in the middle of the day in the desert when your Stand is The Sun? Did this guy mess around with the air-conditioning of his car or something? Unbelievable."
Arabia Fats. Status: RETIRED.

Everything hurt. Just existing was agony. He felt pain in places he didn't even know existed. But despite it all, Steely Dan was optimistic. Unlike some of the others before him, he had survived his encounter with the JoJo Stand users. He would recover from his injuries and then he could go on his merry way. A shadow fell over him as he mused over his future. He looked up and saw a young woman standing over him.

"Hey, girl. Could you help me out? Call for an ambulance or..." He trailed off as he got a good look at the girl. The blue hair was unusual, but her features were unmistakably Japanese. Just like that JoJo brat who beat him up. Except now her hair was turning purple, and there was an unseasonal chill in the air.

His body broken and his Stand exhausted, Steely Dan did the only thing he could do.

He whimpered.
Steely Dan. Status: RETIREDx2.

"That bastard's taking our jeep!"

"I've decided I'm sticking with DIO after all! We'll meet again! If you guys don't die first, thaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"Grandson, when you get a driver's license, remember to always watch where you're going."
Hol Horse. Status: RETIRED.

Many things can pass through a man's head when he's plummeting off a cliff. Wishing that the car which served as the focus for his Stand wasn't frozen so that Wheel of Fortune could reconfigure it enough to survive the landing unharmed. Wishing that his hands weren't frozen in place at the steering wheel. Wishing that he could be the protagonist of Part 3. Wishing that he had never taken this damn job from DIO. Wishing that he had never even heard of DIO. Wishing that he had paid more attention to the ground when he had attacked the JoJos. Wishing that weird patch of ice hadn't been in exactly the wrong spot.

ZZ didn't think any of these things. He merely screamed in mindless terror as the ground came closer.
ZZ. Status: RETIRED.

*End flashbacks*

"Wait, if you were watching over Jotaro all along, how come you didn't help my grandson against Dark Blue Moon, Strength, Yellow Temperance, Justice, or Anubis?"

"Sempai told me to back off and let him handle it."

"He did? When? We were there when he was fighting some of those Stand users and he never said anything like that."

Mizore raised a quizzical eyebrow at Jotaro. They can't understand you like I can?

Jotaro shrugged and adjusted his hat. I guess you're just that special.

Mizore smiled. Thanks. You're pretty special too.

The End.

For more Stalker Mizore, please vote [X] Ashmaker for Update 101. This shameless plug brought to you by Ashmaker.

D'awwwww... if anyone needed confirmation that Jotaro is a true descendant of Jonathan, that's it right there.
 
In case anyone needs a recap about the three current write-ins, they are:
[x]Wait a minute, she said she can control them?
-[x]Ask Ruby about stopping them. If she will do it, how to do it if she can't, if it's possible that someone took over them while she was knocked out, if something else could have set them off...
--[x]If she can't turn them off...
---[x]Well, plants die in winter, right?
----[x]Have Mizore start freezing things. You'll go with her as back up. (If someone else has control over the plants, the two of you will try to find them.)
-----[x]In the mean time, Tsukune should stay with Yukari. (He won't be in that much danger here, hopefully). If possible, Inner Moka's assistance would be useful...ask him to bring her out.
------[x]Kurumu should go rescue civilians. (She can fly, right? You're reasonably sure that succubi can fly in folk tales...) If possible, so should Inner Moka. When the civilians are safe, they can join up with you. (Follow the trail of beaten up/melted/frozen plants)
and
[X] Wait, you can control these things? Tell 'em to stop chewing on the civvies, then!
-[X] When this fails, try getting some info on the why/how of it - has somebody else taken over? Can we shut them down? Do they have weaknesses? Are you being a total unreasonable human-hating bi- Could there be a third explanation that in no way incriminates or antagonizes you?

both of which thinks we should recklessly fight the plants without any plan to locate whoever is responsible for this mess beyond casually assuming we will simply stumble upon them. These plans also ignore the vital tactical resource that is our high-tech mobile phone, which could be used to call for help.

On the other hand, there is this immaculately crafted masterpiece of tactical genius which reads like if it had been made by some hypothetical hybrid clone combining the intellects of Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, and General Patton:
[X] People are dying, but you can't just rush in without a plan. First of all: "Ruby, try to control them and make them stop attacking." If it works and the rampage stops, question her on what might have unleashed them like this and try to get a hold of Gramps.

--[X] Leave your mobile phone with Tsukune and have him explain what's going on if Grandpa tries to contact it.
---[X] If Joseph has his own mobile phone, have Tsukune attempt to contact him and explain the situation. If he doesn't have it already, give Tsukune Joseph's number before leaving. If something happens that Inner Moka and Kurumu can't deal with, Tsukune should call Joseph for backup.
---[X] If he can think of someone else to contact for help, he should do so. Maybe the people that came on a trip with the Youkai Academy school bus, even if there's no guarantee that they will be close enough to help.
Clearly, the best path forward is obvious. :whistle:
