The Tournament of Desire has been going on for many years in secret, but now, in their tenth game of stand users fighting to the bitter end for the grand prize, they've gone public in New York City.
With other Joestar family members having difficult...
The Big Apple...New York City... Times Square. It was as busy as usual.
People, tourists, and street performers alike went on about their day as normal.
But as all the electronic billboards began playing static everyone's attention was turned towards the strange occurrence.
Along with every tv in the city, the billboards had a rubber mask-wearing person show up on the screens.
With this strange blond-haired and vampire fanged rubber mask on the person spoke with a vocal changed voice.
???: Congratulations, New York City! You have been chosen as the new location for the new season of the tournament of desire!
New yorkers:(confused mumbling)
???: I am your host of the ultimate Stand battle royal series that is going fully public this season...
???: The-O! And I...will show you all a world you all were oblivious to.
The-O: Tomorrow, shall be the first part of this great series. Stay tuned.
All the screens returned back to normal, with all the civilians confused at what kind of publicity stunt was this.
But out of everyone in New York, there were only a very few that knew what The-O was talking about.
One of these people was a young woman who stared out of the window of her apartment with a phone against her ear.
???: Did you get the video I sent?
....
???: You won't make it in time. I'll handle this.
....
???: Have some fate in, would ya? I am a Joestar after.
(1 day later)
A cloaked man walked up to a warehouse where he was stopped by a bouncer.
Bouncer: Show me.
A humanoid figure appeared behind the cloaked man. The bouncer nodded, before presenting the cloaked man with a tarot card of the star arcana.
Bouncer: Get in, it's about to start.
The cloaked man entered the warehouse, where he saw 20 other people wearing cloaks like him which hid their faces and overall appearances.
In the middle of this warehouse stood a platform with two people on top.
All the cloaked figures attention was drawn to the top of the platform when a spotlight was shined on top revealing The-O, the blond wig, rubber mask-wearing person, and an older gentleman smoking
The-O: Stands... The manifestation of one's fighting spirit... Or was it spirit energy? I could never remember.
The-O: The point is, you stand users have ghost buddies with superpowers, that only you all can see.
The-O: And for generations, stand users have lived in the shadows for obvious reasons.
The-O: But starting today... We're going to change that.
The-O: On this very special season of... The Tournament of desire.
The man beside The-O then spoke.
