Today is your second day on Hyperion.

There's no mission today so the Valkyries are taking rest on Hyperion.

But you have lots of paper work.

"Ah.... Another one done... But there's still many..." - You said.

You are kind of tired and boring.

"Do you need any help?" - A maid goes in your office.

"Rita? Why are you here?" - You asked her.

"Theresa-sama told me to assist you a bit." - She answered you.

"I - I see, but i can do this by myself, thanks for coming, Rita."

"It's a maid's duty. Do you want some tea or coffee? I can go prepare for you now."

"Tea please."

"Okay." - Then the maid left the room.

You see everything kinda easy here, despite the fact you're new.

"You're writing a report huh." - A strange voice of a man suddenly appears from your back.

"Wha-" - You immediately turn back, but you've freeze, you can't move by somehow, it's like you being tied up by a rope. But you can't see anything.

"I've come to take 2 things and kill someone." - The man said.

"Wh- Who are you?" - You asked.

"Me? You don't need to know. Just tell me the location of Kujo Jotaro, Kiana Kaslana and Raiden Mei."

"W... What are you going to do?"

"Did your parent taught you to answer a question with a question?"

The man is in the corner of the room, but you can feel there is something standing next right to you.

"If you don't want to say, fine then. I have no more reason to keep you alive."

Suddenly, Jotaro appears in the room, grapped the thing behind you, he also bring Turtle Polnareff with him.

"Get back Y/n! We're being attacked by a Stand User!" - Jotaro said.

And you can move freely. Then you get behind Jotaro.

"...!!! Impossible, this Stand!" - Polnareff said.

"It's Kakyoin's Hierophant! How is this possible?" - Jotaro pale.

"You know my Stand? Hmph, it doesn't matter anymore." - The man in the corner started to step out from the dark.

"Y- You are!"

Both Jotaro and Polnareff surprised, they don't believe in their eyes anymore.

Because the man is standing right in front of them, is one of their old friend.

One of the Crusaders.

The one solved The World's secret, but the price it's his life.

That is Noriaki Kakyoin, though the uniform is not the same, but he has the same face, same hair as Kakyoin, just like a perfect clone.

"How is this possible..." - For a moment, Jotaro let his guard down, and Hierophant Green take its chance.

"Jotaro! Watch out!" - Polnareff shout.

But some green fluid comes from Hierophant Green's hand.

Then something shoots out from that fluid.

"Emerald Splash!!" - Kakyoin said.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora!!!" - Jotaro uses his Star Plantium to deflect the Emerald Splash.

"Im-Impossible! No one can just deflect the Emerald Splash!" - Kakyoin gone panic.

"Yare Yare Daze."

Then Jotaro suddenly disappeared.

"Wh-" - Kakyoin didn't know what happened, he got knocked out by a punch from behind.

"Is... Is he dead?" - You asked.

"No, he just got passed out." - Jotaro answer.

"What are you going to do now?" - Polnareff asked.

"Let's hope there's an flesh bulb on his head."

Then Jotaro turn Kakyoin around, uses his hand to check Kakyoin's forehead.

"As i expected, there's one." - Jotaro said.

"Take it out!" - Polnareff said.

"Aye aye sir." - Then Jotaro looks to you.

"Hey, get out of this room. This is kinda dangerous."

"Ok."

You said, and then go out, but still peek in.

Jotaro uses Star Platinum, removed the flesh bulb out of Kakyoin's head.

Then he crushes it in the hand.

"That's done. But what's more important now is the flesh bulb."
- Jotaro said.

"Yeah... This flesh bulb is the same... Like the one Dio done before."

"... It seems if Dio's here, maybe he is the cause of all this mess."

"Ugh..." - Kakyoin, opened his eyes.

"He's awake."

"What should we do?"

"Hang on, check if he is still our enemy or not."

"Wh... Where am i?"

"Do you know me?" - Jotaro asked.

Kakyoin turned around. He look jotaro for a while.

"N- No, but you seems familiar to me."

"I see, what's your name?"

"Noriaki Kakyoin."

"Do you have a Stand?"

"Stand? You mean this?"

Kakyoin summons Hierophant Green.

"When did you have it?"

"Ever since i was a child... I suddenly have this strange ability."

"I see."

"I don't... Understand what is going on around here but it... Seems did something bad."

"Yeah, but you're safe now. Do you remember anything happened to you?"

"..."

Kakyoin quiet for a bit.

"Ah, i've encountered a man named Dio."

"Dio, you say?"

"Yes... The last thing i remember is :"

Flashback a bit.

"Just who the hell are you? You have that ability too?" -Kakyoin asked.

"Hmm, yes, and do you want to be my friend?"

"Friend?"

"Yes, you've been lonely in your life, you have no friends, not because everyone stays away from you. But it is because you blocked yourself, you are lonely because your Stand. But me, also have a Stand, we can be friends."

"..."

"You're up to something very bad, don't you, even i don't have friends, i won't teaming up with someone's bad."

".... It seems you left me have no choice left. I just have to possess you. Kakyoin."

Kakyoin summoned his Stand, and ready for Emerald Splash.

But Dio disappear, he suddenly appears from Kakyoin's behind.

"Let's be friend... Shall we?"

Kakyoin turned back, and that's the last thing he remembered.

Back to now.

"I see."

"What's going on here Captain?" - A girl's voice appears from behind you.

You turned back, sees Rita bringing some tea with her.

"Rita... There were a intruder."

"Intruder? Captain - sama, please get behind me. I'll protect you."

"Actually, Jotaro take care of him."

They all go inside a room.

"You two come just in time, this guy has some wounds." - Polnareff said.

"Rita, call the medic staff come here please?" - You said.

"Okay." - then Rita left the room.

".... Hey you." - Jotaro call you.

"What?"

"What did he said to you?"

"... He asked me where are my 2 Valkyrie in my crew and... You."

"... It seems Dio has prepared for us, he wanted to eliminated us."

"Who's Dio?" - You asked.

"... He's an enemy, very dangerous enemy."

"... So, how did he got up here? We're 4000 meters from land."

"Who knows... You better check around. Maybe Kakyoin is not the only one."

"I- I get it. So i'll go-"

"Hold on."

"It's dangerous to go around now, let me go with you."

"But what about him?"

"Kakyoin will be fine. The matters is the intruders."

"Okay, let's go."

They go on the hallway, see some staff running towards them.

"Captain!"

"What's wrong? Why are you all panicking?" - You ask.

"There was  an unknown jet dropped 3 people on our ship 30 minutes ago!"

"What? Why didn't you report to me sooner?" - You shouted.

"There were only one people saw that! But he got knocked out!"

"Shit, hey, gather all your Valkyries at one same place, they can't sees Stands, so they'll be useless againts the intruders. Hurry up." - Then Jotaro looked at the staff.

"So where are the intruders location?"

"I don't know, but your friend is dealing one of them."

"What?"

Jotaro started running back to Giorno's room.

"... Anyway, put our alarm on. And our current defensive system on to level 2."

"Roger!"

"And told all the Valks gather up the bridge!"

"Roger!"

Then you started to running too, but you heard something from a hallway on your left.

You started to go inside that hallway, the sounds coming from the kitchen, you peek in, sees Kiana and Mei's body are all splits up, they're all over the place in this kitchen.

There is a man standing in the middle of the kitchen.

Kiana is standing there, she loses one arm.

While Mei's head is rolling on the floor.

"Kiana!! Mei!!! Arghhhhhhh!!!" - You screamed.

"Captain! Run!" - You heard Mei's voice.

"What? You're alive?"

"Yes! Please run! Captain! We can handle him!"

"Nope you can't."

"Yeah right, call others."

"You won't get away!" - The man shouted, his arm got extended by somehow and you got punched by something you didn't see.

"I- Impossible!"

"Captain!!"

'I didn't see a shit back there... So this is a Stand?"

You got knocked back outside, but your body feels weird, like it's going to fall off your legs.

"Hm, you are too weak, without seeing the thing attacked you, no matter how strong you are, you stand no chance against me." - The man said.

"Stay there, and i'll spare you life, i don't prefer killing people. But if you stand up, i will roll your head on the floor like a football."

"Wh... Who the fuck cares about what's going up with them... While their friends is in trouble?" - You said, slowly standing up.

"It's useless." - Then the man charges towards you, but Kiana stopped him.

"You... I can't kill you yet, but you need to stay still." - Then something punched Kiana alot, her body turns to pieces, falling on the floor.

"KIANAAAA!!!!!!" - You couldn't hold your rage back, you started to charge towards the man.

"So you have chosen... Death."

As the man ready to use his Stand to attack you. His stand got hit by a girl, that hit wasn't strong. But enough to make him knocked back to the fridge behind him.

"Wh- What?" - The man got pale.

"You've done very well Captain, i'll handle the rest." - A familiar voice.

You looked up, its Fu Hua with her battle gloves.

"Fu... Hua... Please... Save them too..."

"Of course Captain, but get back first."

The man's breathing heavily.

"You can... See my Stand?" - The man asked Fu Hua.

"Yes, i can see them clearly." - Fu Hua answered.

"Hmph, i see... Why they put you in the 'list' too."

"List?"

"Hmph, that's not important anymore."

The man stood up, Fu Hua wanted to attack but the Stand makes her feel uncomfortable.

She looked to Kiana and Mei, their body's pieces has zippers.

"Are you a Stand User?" - The man asked Fu Hua.

"No, i don't have that thing."

"Hmph... So you're not that dangerous. "

"A - Rank Valkyrie, Fu Hua. And you?"

"... Bruno Bucciarati. Though the names not important anymore, because you're going to die."

"Let's check it out, shall we?" - Fu Hua disappeared, but she appears from Bucciarati's back.

Bucciarati saw some red-feathers falling down from nowhere.

Fu Hua attacked Bucciarati, this punch's strong enough to put him down.

Bucciarati fell down the floor.

"... That's awesome." - You watched the fight. But you noticed something's weird.

There's a hole right next to Bucciarati's head.

And another hole suddenly appears from Fu Hua's blind spot.

"... FU HUA!! YOUR BACK, THAT GUY STILL CONSCIOUS!!!"

"What?" - Fu Hua noticed, but it was too late.

Sticky Fingers's arm launched up, straight into Fu Hua's body, a zipper appears in her body, she becomes two pieces.

"God... Goddamn it."

Fu Hua fell down.

Then Bucciarati stand up.

"Your attack kinda impressive to me, but my Sticky Fingers is faster than you."

Then Bucciarati notices you.

You stood up.

"You still want to continued our fight?" - Bucciarati asked.

"..... I'm gonna protect... All of them."

"How naïve is that. No matter how strong you are, you can't protect all of them, that's the brutal fact of this world, the enemy will shows you no mercy. Besides, you don't have any special powers."

"... Even though, even... It costs my life... I'll protect... Everyone."

"C- Captain..." - Kiana said.

"Just... Hang on a little more... I'm going to... Bring you back... To normal..."

"Even it costs your life? You should handle these two girls for me."

"Why... Did i have to do that?"

"These two are Herrscher."

"He... Herrscher?"

"You can save your own life, i'll spare her too." - Bucciarati looked at Fu Hua, who is unconscious on the floor.

"How's that sound? I'll spare your life and her if you hand they to me, after that, we'll retreat."

"I refuse! I will not hand them to you! They're my crew! They're my friends!"

Then you started to charges towards Bucciarati.

"How naïve, i have no other option."

Bucciarati charges towards you too, but he doesn't use his Stand, but use his fist to punch you hard.

You cough some blood, and lie on the floor.

"My time's over. Time to leave."

Then he put Kiana and Mei back to normal, Fu Hua's back to normal too.

But he hit Kiana and Mei again, make them unconscious. Then started to drag them.

But suddenly, Bucciarati's leg is being grapped by someone.

And that is you.

"P- Put them down, our... Fight is not over yet..."

"You haven't learn anything, don't you?" - Bucciarati started to kick you again.

But...

He noticed another Stand appears.

The Stand made a rush attack on him, but Sticky Fingers was able to guard that time.

"...."

Trish appears in the room.

"B... Bucciarati... Why are you here?" - Trish asked.

"How do you know my name?"

"It's me, it's Trish!"

"Trish? You may mistaken anyone."

"... 'He looked exactly same like Bucciarati, but this isn't Bucciarati i know... Besides, that Stand is definitely his Stand. Then why?'"

"Move off, and i won't kill you."

"I refuse... Bucciarati, maybe you don't know who am i, but i'm have to stop you here."

"... You left me no choice."

"Do you need any help? Miss?" - A strange voice suddenly appears.

It's Bronya and her Stand - Project Bunny 19C. (Not Stand)

"Bronya..."

"Captain... Leave the rest to us." - Bronya said.

"Stand? No, it's more like a robot." - Bucciarati said.

"Even though i can't see your Stand, the Bronya will help as best as the Bronya could."

"... Alright, i can tell you what the Stand's doing." - Trish said.

"Okay."

Bucciarati moves slowly to a wall nearby.

"I won't risk much, against a Stand User. Especially when i don't know what is that Stand's ability, i think i'll retreat for now, i will come back..." - Then Bucciarati uses his zipper open a way on the wall, he step through it, and the zipper started to close.

"Keep your crew, and your life. The next time you see me, you won't be able to be with them again." - Then the zipper closed.

"Shit!" - Trish ran out the room, opens the door of the next room.

"... Where did he go?"

Back to the kitchen.

"You good? Captain?" - Bronya asked you.

"Yeah... Barely... Help the others... First..." - Then you passed out.

At an engine room under them.

A zipper appears from the ceiling.

Bucciarati comes from up there, fall down the floor.

Bucciarati puts something like an airpod on his ear.

"Cocolia." - Bucciarati called someone's name.

"Yeah, what is it?" - A woman's voice appears from other side.

"Send the jet here to take us back, the mission failed."

"Why? You know they won't forgive you after this! And how did you fail? You were report that you got them."

".... Yeah... But there were some trouble... Anyway, send a jet to us."

"... Okay then. Hang on for 30 minutes. Gather the others."

"Okay." - Then he took the device down.

But he heard footsteps from behind, someone's coming towards him.

He looked back, sees a guy in a pink suit, donut yellow-haired.

"Bucciarati..." - The boy said.

"... You know me too?"

"... Yeah..."

"... It seems i have no other option. Just have to take you down right here!"

Though he said it before, that he won't risk against the people that he doesn't know their ability, but he doesn't care now, because Giorno - the one standing in front of him, is one of the targets in the 'List', he just know that Giorno needs to be take care of now.

But.... Even though Sticky Fingers's speed is awesome, but Golden Experiences Requiem has already hit Bucciarati.

"This... Is..." -Bucciarati steps back, then he sees another him, is standing right in front of him.

"Golden Experience, once it hits you, only your sense goes berserk, and your body movements are slow."

Giorno slowly walks to behind him.

Then he hit Bucciarati's nape, causing he passed out.

"Is he good?" - another man steps closer to Giorno.

"Yeah... Now lets remove this flesh bulb."

"What the hell happened here... Bucciarati... What the hell happened to us..." - The man said.

That man, is Leone Abbacchio.

He was also recovered by Giorno.
