10:32 AM

Daisy and Anna-Rose sat down for a moment and both thought. Daisy thought of her mother, and prayed that she would be able to see her family again. She wasn't terribly religious, but she could turn to nobody else. Anna-Rose, on the other hand, just thought of how scared she was for Daisy's safety. She understood that she may not make it out of this fight, but if anything happened to her one friend, she'd probably lose it. Daisy broke the silence first.

"Are you ready to do this? We can always wait it out until help shows up. Reggie shouldn't take too long." Daisy grabbed Anna-Rose's shoulder, who pushed her away a bit.

"Well, no matter what, this has to happen. It's better if it happens while nobody's here. Delaware's going to be here at 2, and we can't rely on Reggie to be any faster than an hour on such short notice. She'll corner us if we run, if her Stand's power is as terrifying as people seem to think."

Daisy nodded. "Right. It's just… Anna, I'm scared. I'm really scared."

"You should be." A familiar malicious voice echoed from the corner.

Anna-Rose and Daisy stood, bringing out their Stands. "It's you!" Anna-Rose cried.

Daisy began to breathe raggedly. "Tiffany… how long have you been standing in that corner?"

"Long enough." Tiffany smirked, brushing her blonde locks out of her rounded face. "Daisy, I'm surprised to see you. Well, at least… you know. Alive." She chuckled. "Especially after I came to deal with you personally last night."

Daisy's heart skipped a beat. Tania's death… the internal bleeding… And now, Tiffany sneaking into the room unnoticed. "I get it. I know your power now, I get it!" She began to cackle uncontrollably. "You killed my roommate. The way you did it had to be a Stand power, but with no external damage… your Stand can phase through things. That's it, right?"

Tiffany's entire body began to twitch. "You… I can't believe you figured it out. How the hell do you keep outsmarting me, Daisy? Your ability and your knowledge… It's just unfair!" She stomped a little bit. "I'm supposed to be the best. I'm supposed to rule!"

Anna-Rose sighed. "Sheesh, you'd think she doesn't have a stupidly powerful ability. Phasing? Are you sure a Stand even has that kind of power?"

Tiffany looked down at the ground, and then quickly dropped through it. Daisy chuckled nervously. "You were saying?" She took off from the ground with a pair of butterfly wings. Anna-Rose gulped, running toward the wall to try and spring off of it. However, a hand reached up from the floor and tripped her. Tiffany climbed out of the ground, her Stand clinging to her. It was humanoid, mostly white with some pink detail and trim. It had a very strange baby face, and its chest was emblazoned with a cross.

"You wanted to see it so badly, Anna-Rose. Well, here it is. This is my Stand, Nirvana. And now, you will feel pain." Nirvana swung Anna-Rose around the room like a rag doll. Eulogy blocked a few of the blows, but it was too fast for her to keep up. Anna was tossed at the door with a lot of force, smacking the door off of its hinges. "It's funny, really. When I was very young, my parents wanted me to become a medical doctor. However, as a child I became obsessed with anatomy. I wanted to see it all from the inside. I was sent to a doctor after the family cat… well, I won't go into details, but it served me well as a young girl. After my visit with the doctor, my parents switched me to psychology. I was still obsessed with the human body, but I learnt how to control and manipulate. That serves me well."

"You… you killed your own cat? I knew you were crazy, but this is just terrible! Your Stand developed out of your obsession with destroying from the inside out. First the body, and now, the mind." Daisy gulped, while Tiffany advanced on her swiftly, grabbing at Daisy's top.

"Heh. I suppose. Stands are wonderful, aren't they? Especially ones like yours. They intrigue me. How much of your body can you change at once? What does it look like? How can you enhance yourself?" Tiffany smirked, rubbing her hands all over Daisy. "Your body is incredible. I want to study it completely. Maybe I will take you home, and experiment on your ability before I take you apart and see if you really are different from others."

Daisy pulled away from Tiffany. "Don't touch me! Stay away, you psycho!" She grabbed Anna-Rose, who was bruised and bleeding, with a broken arm. "Are you okay?" she whispered.

Anna-Rose nodded slowly. "I'm not paralysed. I could have been, though." Eulogy snapped her arm back into place with Spin. "Can you give me a sling?"

Daisy nodded, weaving a silk sling. "Done." Anna-Rose slid it on, sighing. "Jeez. She's really dangerous. She didn't touch you anywhere really bad, right?"

"Not yet. I just hope we win, at this rate. I don't know whether she wants to be a megalomaniac or a serial killer… or both." Daisy bit her lip, shivering. This threat was far beyond anything she had expected.

Tiffany hopped through the wall, climbing into the roof. Daisy gulped. "H-Hold on… just now, she looked at her feet as she put them in, and then her hands. Can she only phase into things she's looking at?"

Anna-Rose shrugged. "We can't bank on that as fact. Just stay as alert as you can. She can attack from anywhere, in any way. She could easily have killed me just now. She's obviously a sadist. She derives some sick pleasure from knowing people are suffering. That's why she manipulates people into bullying people like us."

Daisy made sure Bullet with Butterfly Wings's stinger was ready to fire. "Alright. Tell me if you see her."

"No, you tell me." Anna-Rose gulped, pulling out a steel ball. "She can phase through things. We need to catch her by surprise. Got it?"

At that moment, Nirvana appeared from the ceiling, smacking Anna-Rose in the back of the neck and knocking her out. Blood began to spurt from her mouth. Her spinal cord might have been damaged by that sneak attack. Daisy's eyes widened, and she stepped back in fear. "A… Anna…"

Nirvana relaxed in stance, as Tiffany walked through the wall. "Got her. One down…" She glanced at Daisy with a smug grin on her face. "That works very nicely." Daisy then noticed something incredible. Slowly, Eulogy began to manifest behind Tiffany, its normally expressionless face twisted with malice. It was protecting its user's life.

"OOOOORAAAAAA!" Eulogy slammed a punch into the back of Tiffany's head, charged with Super Spin from the golden ratio in Daisy's terrified face. Followed by twenty more. After that, Nirvana began swapping blows with Eulogy, but Eulogy quickly overpowered it. Tiffany was knocked into the desks, and Eulogy faded away. Daisy ran over to Anna-Rose, tears welling in her eyes. She grabbed the back of her neck, which was swollen with blood. The bones in her neck were broken. She felt cold to the touch.

Daisy could only for a moment contain her bubbling sadness. "No… you can't be…" She collapsed in wailing sobs, mourning more than just a lost friend. She was mourning her own life. She couldn't beat Nirvana in combat, if Tiffany could still fight after Eulogy's final stand. The fight had ended with Anna-Rose's life. It just depended heavily on whether that was a good or a bad thing.

11:05 AM

Reggie walked up to the campus of the New York School for Specialist Children. Ambulances were outside, and one was rushing Anna-Rose out of the building. "What's going on?" A paramedic looked at the strange and ragged Reggie, and raised an eyebrow.

"Little girl, there seems to be a killer on the loose in that school. This girl here barely escaped with a pulse, and her neck is broken. Luckily it looks like she'll recover, but as far as we know there's still one victim in there with the unnamed attacker. I would recommend you not to go inside."

Reggie sighed. "I attend this school. I know that girl. Can I please go in to try and help get the other victim out?"

The paramedic nodded. "Do what you feel you have to, I suppose. We'll leave one ambulance here, and call police. You get your friend out safe, okay?"

"I can try." Reggie turned and walked into the building, knowing that her Stand could beat Tiffany if she could get eye contact. However, it was going to be all about time.
