"There are Stand Users in this school. How many? I cannot remember nor could I truly know. The only thing I do know, is an enemy Stand has the ability manipulate the memories and perspectives of everything about them and others."

Whitley walked in silence. His bag over his shoulders as he walked toward the way out of the front entrance of the school.

"They want me out of this school as I believe they saw me as a threat to them."

Whitley saw student of the school give him glances and looks, many whispered about him between them. He ignored them, he ignored the whispers, the insults, the glares. His eyes focused on finding something else in that crowd.

"The Stand user wants me out. They have to be watching me from somewhere to make sure I do leave the school. Wether they are in the crowd or watching from a distance away from me."

Whitley walked. His eyes stared around. His eyes lingering on a crowd staring at him, before moving away from them.

The Schnee walked in silence as he left for the exit.

"...The Schnee is heading towards the exit." The voice of Devo Velocity spoke yet he was unseen and unheard in the crowd of students.

"HehehhahaHAHAHA!!! It's working! The Schnee is leaving." Nomak Schrodinger cackled yet remained unseen and unheard amongst the school.

"Haa~ It's a shame. Schnee would've been a great tool to use if we could get him under our control." Pink Natori spoke but no one saw or heard him like his fellow Stand users.

The three Stand users stood still infront of a crowd of students, yet those students did not hear nor see them despite them being right infront of them.

"...Hey, do you think Schnee will just leave like this?" Nomak asked Pink for his thoughts.

"Hmm...the Schnee family is a stubborn bunch. Jacques Schnee was a commoner in the past before he rose through the company and eventually married into the family." His gaze stared at where the Schnee went.

"It wouldn't surprise me if the Schnee comes back."

Nomak looked at him with nervousness at hearing that thought. Pink then looked at Devo who noticed his gaze at him.

"If the Schnee comes back. You will deal with him with your Stand. Kill him if he truly becomes a problem to us." Pink ordered Devo who flinched at the order.

"K-kill...? Bu-"

Pink's face was now face to face with Devo's. Both of their faces where only inches away from each other. The atmosphere between was tense. The air between them changing as a pink gas filled between them.

"You will kill the Schnee when he becomes a problem for us...or are you thinking of betraying us. Betraying me?"

Devo's eyes widened as he heard that. He then immediately kneeled towards Pink.

"NO!!! I could never betray you! I will kill the Schnee! Strip his skin from his bones! I will feast on his flesh if I must! I will defile his dead body if you so ask!"

Devo maniacally said in fear as he begged under Pink's gaze.

"Good." Pink smirked at the devotion to his words and orders. "Then, go follow the Schnee. Make sure he's truly never coming back."

"Yes! Master!" Devo yelled out as his eyes were filled with extreme devotion and determination in them at following the order given to him.

—[S.B.L]—

Standing at the front of the gate of the school. Whitley stood still. His head turned slightly for his eyes to gaze at the school behind him. His face cold and expressionless.

For a moment, Whitley just stared at the empty space between where he was and at the school.

It was just him.

Then, Whitley turned his head away from the school. He then walked towards the left of the school gate, as he then, walked.

He walked.

And walked.

And walked beside the walls seperating him and the school.

He then reached a corner.

He then turned and continued to walk beside the walls separating him and the school.

He walked. Then he stopped. He now stood still. The environment around him? the gate walls of the school, the empty sidewalk and road, windowless buildings, planted trees and roadlights.

Whitley Schnee sighed as he stood still staring at nothing.

"...I despise violence." Whitley said seemingly to no one but himself.

"I find it foolish and a waste of my time to engage in brutish fights. The mere thought of getting myself into violent conflicts is...a stressful and annoying thought. "

Whitley's head turned to the side, his eyes gazing behind him but only to see nothing.

"That is why I will not get myself into these brutish disputes. They are beneath me and a waste of my time." Whitley then turned his body, his head staring down.

"Even if someone is getting hurt or abused. Even if it makes me a coward, a bastard, scum. I will not involve myself."

"But..." Whitley stared ahead of him, his eyes gave out a cold look in them.

"Stand users have now involved themselves in MY life, and I will not go quietly like the wind."

A purple ethereal fist appeared from behind Whitley's head. Its fingers drill-like with swirl patterns on the back of the hand. The fist being connected to a purple arm until it just vanishes out of thin air with no sign of a body it was connected to.

This arm being thrown at Whitley's head had appeared out of thin air out of nowhere with no clear sign as to how.

"Ur—"

The unexpected attack was parried by Whitley's Stand.「Starfall」's arm blocking it with its fist and pushing the arm off course from Whitley's head.

"—Sha!"

Then Whitley's Stand punched towards where the enemy Stand arm came out from. Its fist going through the air foward as it then disappeared into thin air.

The fist hit something.

"G-hak?!"

Or rather, someone.

Whitley stared ahead of him unsurprised as a man just appeared out of thin air like he was just invisible until he wasn't.

"H-h-how...?" Devo stared at Whitley in shock as he gasped out as he held his stomach which seems to be compress inwards making it hard to take in air into the lungs.

"「Starfall」is a gravity manipulating Stand. Besides the obvious, it allows me to sense the gravitational fields of everything around me...that includes the unnatural gravitational phenomenon of your wormholes. Also, that was quite clever of you, using your wormholes in a way to refract light and sound to make it seem you weren't there, clever, truly clever..."

Whitley smirked as he figured out the enemy's ability and had simultaneously made it so that they can't breath properly.

"Now." Whitley's eyes gained a cold look to them as he asked. "Who are your allies? How many Stand users are here? What are their abilities? Answer me, or else I'll have my Stand to beat them out of you."

Devo gave Whitley a frustrated look on his face, his teeth gritting at the situation he's in.

"I-I...re...fuse..." He said while he desperately tried getting air into his lungs.

"Alright...「Starfall」." Whitley summoned his Stand as he had it rush towards Devo, fists ready to pummel the guy until he would talk.

"...「Peekaboo」." Devo said as his Stand fully manifested infront of him.

The Stand was a purple humanoid stand with swirl patterns all around the body and its hands have drill-like fingers.

Whitley's eyes widened as he was surprised at how fast「Peekaboo」was moving at, the Stand completely moving faster than「Starfall」could throw its fists.

"A-ACK!?" Whitley coughed out a bit of blood from his mouth as his Stand got punched in the ribs which simultaneously caused Whitley's ribs to break from the hit.

"Fast?!!!" Whitley thought.

"Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka"

「Peekaboo」shouted out its battle cry repeatedly for every punch that connected with「Starfall」, each blow blisteringly fast, relentless and full of power towards Whitley and his Stand.

「Starfall」tried to get out of the Stand's barrage of attacks, but it was too slow and lacked any real strength to push back the physically superior Stand.

"I made a mistake! A miscalculation!" Whitley thought as he kept getting hit by Devo's Stand. "「Starfall」has a very powerful ability, one when used correctly would make it near impossible to beat in my mind."

"But my Stand was never meant to be a close ranged fighter! It lacks physical power!"

"BOO!!!" In one powerful punch to the chin,「Peekaboo」launched「Starfall」backwards through the air with the same thing happening to Whitley in effect.

"No. Not enough. His Stand's ability is still effecting my stomach. He isn't dead nor out cold yet!" Devo thought while he struggled to breathe.

"「Peekaboo」!!!" He thought as his Stand created a wormhole with its fists, space shifted and folded as a gateway from two points were created, one where Whitley's launched body was heading and one infront of Devo and his Stand.

Devo's Stand then put its arm through the wormhole as its arm then appeared on the otherside of the wormhole, then grabbing Whitley and dragging him through the wormhole.

"This is the end for you! Die! Whitley Schnee!!!" Devo thought, his Stand's fist speeding and rapidly approaching Whitley's face to crush it into a bloody paste.

"Peekaboo!!!" The Stand cried out its battle cry as its fist was only inches away from contact.

...

...

...

"?!" Devo's eyes widened as his Stand's fist didn't reach its target.

Or rather, couldn't.

The purple fist of「Peekaboo」hovered, shaked and struggled infront of Whitley's face, but could not move even an inch more further towards the Schnee.

"Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka"

Devo gritted his teeth hard as he commanded his Stand to try and successfully punch Whitley, but failed as the fist didn't just fail to hit, but also his Stand was being pushed back after every punch attempt.

Skid*

"W-woah?!" Devo's feet suddenly skidded on the floor, he tried getting his footing, but failed as nothing seemed to stop him.

Then, the entirety of where gravity was pulling, shifted. Instead of pulling downwards towards Remnant, now gravity pulled him sideways.

Falling sideways, Devo quickly grabbed a lampost and clinged on to it to stop falling.

"G-grk...!" Unfortunately, with the pressure of gravity compressing his stomach inward, the very little air able to get into his lungs. He wasn't able to keep a firm grip at the risk of passing out.

So, he let go. But as he did, he created a wormhole underneath him to fall into as it then brought him back to land on the side of the lampost so he could stand on it.

"H-ha...ha..." Devo struggled to breath as he could now stand somewhat normally on the lampost to catch whatever breath he could get.

"That was close...if I reacted a second to slow...if my Stand couldn't manipulate gravity to repel your attacks fast enough to soften the damage...you...would've k-killed me..."

Whitley touched his chest, wincing in surprise and pain as he felt his ribs being broken. His eyes gazed at Devo with both fear, anger and weariness.

Cough! Cough!*

Coughs excaped Whitley's mouth as he instinctively put a mouth over. He felt something wet on his palm, he saw it was his blood.

"Tch..." Whitley wiped the blood off his mouth as he glared at Devo who glared back at him.

Both stared silent at each other, neither moving or making any moves against each other yet.

But both of them were still fighting, a fight of intelligence on how to act against the opposition.

"His Stand is both far faster and far more powerful than mine. Fighting head on is a death sentence as a single punch nearly tore a hole right through me if I hadn't acted fast. Fighting with range attacks such as throwing objects around me with increased gravity on it would give me ways to attack, but his ability to create wormholes would be able to deflect them or turn my own attacks against me." Whitley thought.

"His Stand's movements and strength is slow and weak, it essentially has the same speed and strength as the user does, as well as human level durability. But it makes up for that weakness with its powerful ability of gravity manipulation...this is bad. Depending on his attitude, willingness and extent of its ability, he could easily kill me by increasing gravity to the point where the human body cannot handle, crushing me like an ant to a boot" Devo thought.

"This guy is fighting with the full intent to kill me. Any more wrong moves from me, will potentially result in my death. Keeping him far away with gravity pushing everything away from me while pelting him with objects as well as shifting gravity for him may be the only way to fight, even if it is predictable...but."

"He knows I'm going for the kill, so he'll keep his distance.「Peekaboo」is a close-range power type Stand, but its wormhole ability allows it to close the distances. He knows this as well, so he'll predictively fight with his Stand near him and stay on the defensive...so I'll fight offensively, all out on the attack to the point that his defense is meaningless."

Whitley narrowed his eyes, a reluctant look in them. A plan he has decided on.

Devo grinned, the path towards victory in his eyes has already opened for him.

"...This is the only path to victory."

"The only path for him is death."

With that, under 10 seconds, they have decided on how to act towards victory.

"「Starfall」."

"「Peekaboo」!!!"

Both Stands manifested at the same time as their users commanded.

"Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!"「Starfall」 quickly punched the ground. Quickly, thoses areas where it punched tore apart and floated up, now those pieces of concrete and dirt orbited around Whitley.

"Ursha!" Punching one of the orbiting objects, enhancing its gravity, Whitley set it crashing towards Devo.

"Hmp!" Devo smirked, as he easily used a wormhole and sent the concrete rock flying back towards Whitley, which was pushed away by the gravitational field around him.

Whitley's eyes narrowed at this as he then jumped in the air and floated as a zero gravity effects him.

Seeing this, Devo responded by quickly punching the lampost he was on.

"Peeka!" The lampost bent.

"Peeka!" Then he bent it again at a different spot.

"Peeka! Peeka! Peeka! Peeka!" Then, again and again. Another four more times.

"?!!!" Whitley's eyes widened as the lampost was bent into an area where he could stay in no matter where gravity was pulling him to.

"Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha! Sha!" Whitley sent the rest of his rocks at Devo in a panic and faint hope with extreme levels of gravity enhancing its speed.

Devo looked at this, with confidence and utter assurance that this was going to end in only one way.

Wormholes opened, the rocks going at high speed like bullets going through them and then coming out of a different wormhole and firing back at Whitley, which all of them missed.

Both Whitley and Devo stared at each other. One, floating in the air, the other in a cage.

"You put up a good fight, Whitley Schnee. Your Stand,「Starfall」is truly a powerful ability, with time, you would be a formidable opponent." Devo used his Stand to speak these words.

"But this is the end. Like those that tried to reach space. Like the very thing you call your Stand...You shall fall."

"Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka Peeka"

「Peekaboo」punched the ground all around Devo at blinding speeds, each punch destroying the concrete with ease.

Whitley's eyes widened as he looked around himself as he sensed several wormholes opening around him which each connected to one of the areas where「Peekaboo」punched.

Whitley then looked at Devo in horror as he knew what he was about to do. Whitley moved.

The wormholes opened where Devo's Stand punched. But these were not the usual wormholes he was using during this entire fight. No, these wormholes didn't just connect from one point to another.

These wormholes gave off the strong gravitational pull, a pull so strong, it sucked the pieces of concrete and dirt at high speeds, practically an instant.

When these concrete pieces exited to the other side, they were fired at such speed and velocity which would tear through anything, only anything like a gravitational push of a whitehole or the crushing inescapable gravity of a blackhole would stop these rocks.

Bang!*

One rock entered Whitley's chest, where his heart was.

Bang!*

Then, another entered through his neck.

Then another entered his torso.

Then another at his shoulder.

Then another at his leg.

Then another.

Then another.

All of this, happening in less than 1 second.

Then, Whitley's body dropped lifelessly on the road. Blood seeping out of his wounds and painting his clothes red.

"Haa~ Finally...I can breathe easy again." Devo spoke as he got out of his makeshift cage to counter the gravity-shifting.

He took several deep breaths as no longer was there a gravitational push on his stomach, making it near impossible to breathe.

Devo desummoned his Stand as he now looked at Whitley Schnee's dead corpse which had its back turned against him.

"You were indeed a formidable opponent. If we allowed you to go freely, you might have truly disturbed the paradise that my beloved master has built for himself at this very school. But, you were a fairly new Stand user, one that will never reach their full potential, fate must truly love my master! Like all of those in this very academy does! Especially the women!"

Devo shouted out to the gods above as he then preached about how good his beloved master was.

"Ha~...now, I suppose I should dispose of your body...perhaps burn it...or I should get Schrodinger to erase your existence from the mind of everything. That way, no one will report your disappearance."

Devo thought outloud as he casually walked towards Whitley's dead body on the road.

Then, suddenly...

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

He felt a presence behind him.

"Urshaa!!!"

"Gr-aAk?!?!" Devo coughed as he felt himself get punched in the back where his heart was located at.

"Y-you..?! Your s-still alive!?" Devo stared in shock as Whitley's persumed dead body stood up, albeit, weakly.

"Y-yeah...it..*cough cough*...w-was a risky plan. One if that I screwed up would mean a very stupid death for me." Whitley said standing with bloody cothes and a battered and wounded body. Blood dripped from his mouth but he did not care.

"I knew there was no real way for me to harm you. Whatever object I threw at you, you would counter it. Wherever I shifted gravity, you would stay on that lampost. Even if I did increase gravity for you that you would get crushed under it, you could easily use your wormholes to form a protective bubble in the air where nothing can enter of exit on your command, where I can't crush you between a surface and gravity...if not that, I can easily see you using a wormhole to get away to a safe distance and alert your allies of the danger I pose...I didn't stand a chance against you."

Cough!* *Cough!*

Devo clenched where his heart was, he could feel it beating fast, REALLY FAST. He also noticed his vision getting blurry. It was also getting harder to think.

"Ah...seems like the gravitational push around your heart to stop blood from flowing is taking affect." Whitley nonchalantly explained at Devo's symptoms.

Devo's eyes widened at this as he tried rushing towards Whitley, but failed as「Starfall」tripped his leg.

"A-Anyways, I knew as long as you kept your guard at me, I couldn't beat you in any safe way. So I banked on you using the knowledge of wormholes having gravity almost as strong as blackholes, launching rocks at me which I could stop inside my body with all of my power, making shallow wounds that I hoped I could hide with my blood, and giving the illusion I was dead.

"G-grk—K!!!!" Devo struggled to stand.

"Then, with your guard down, I could then safely have「Starfall」sneak up behind you, leading you to your current condition." Whitley gave Devo a bloody cocky smirk.

"W-wh...S—s‐SchMUeEE!!!" Devo, even if on the brink of unconsciousness, gave Whitley a defiant glare.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Whitley said and gave him a look of assurance that he wouldn't.

"But I will give you a very long stay at the hospital!" Whitley's expression then turned into an utter cold and unfeeling look.

Devo's eyes slightly widened as now, he saw a fist, the fist that belonged to Whitley Schnee's Stand,「Starfall」.

"URRSHAAAAAAA!!!!" The first hit was to the face, increased gravity cracking the bone.

"SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA SHA"

"UURRRSSSSHHHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

With one was punch, Devo Velocity was sent flying through the air for seconds before hitting the ground and into the lampost cage he had created for himself.

[ NAME: Devo Velocity. STAND:「Peekaboo」]

[ STATUS: RETIRED! ]

"Ha~...ugrk...kgkgg!?" Whitley grunted and cried in pain, as the rocks in his body could now move out.

"Urrghmm..." Whitley moaned as he breathed in heavily, the adrenaline still going through his body after the fight.

"I hate fucking violence..." Whitley had his Stand carry him to a wall and helped him sit down.

Now left with his thoughts, he now remembered there were still other Stand users in the school, as well as what Devo Velocity said about them when he thought he was dead.

"Loved by all...especially women..." Whitley gained a look of disgust, it didn't take him much thought on what that meant.

"Bastards in plain sight...but nobody can catch them or call them out on it." He sighed, he didn't know how long this has been going on, nor did he want to.

"This doesn't concern me...I should just call an ambulance and get me and this guy medical attention..."

Whitley said to himself, as he tried to ignore the many if not all the women in this school being in sexual danger against someone they potentially could not find any will to fight back towards.

"Huh...so that's why the weird cases of high class girls getting pregnant in this academy but no one was able to find any information of the father or knew who the father was for years...Oum Fucking Sake!"

Whitley groaned at himself.

"「Starfall」!!!" Whitley summoned his Stand, as he then sent it towards the school, with full intentions on defeating these Stand users...much to his annoyance and pain.

Holy fucking shit, I finally could get my lazy on finishing this thing after weeks...or is it months? I haven't checked.

Anyways, sorry if this took to long. Motivation for other things took over...not to mention I have to go to college pretty soon.

Anyways, Whitley won his first fight against a true Stand user...painfully.

Hope the fight was enjoyable.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.
