You weren't dead.


That much, you could tell.


Your brain was heavy, laced with a thick fog, sporadically pierced by distant visions. Memories of hate, that part you knew didn't belong to you, so pure you couldn't help but believe them. Unbridled rage, an absolute loathing for all of humanity, all these deliciously dark feelings swarmed around your mind, your heart, your soul, but there was one gleaming light through it all. And His name is Dio.

The pinnacle of all life, He is to stand at the top, and you are to serve.

Yes. That is my purpose.


When you finally awoke, there was but one thought in your mind: To stop all that opposed Him.

"Ah, sweet (Y/N)," his voice beckoned to you like a musical, "You're finally awake... How do you feel?"

Falling to your knees, you spoke "Ready to serve you, lord Dio."

"Oh, please, no need to be so humble" he purred. Lifting you to your feet, he brought his face close to your ear and whispered "But I am glad to hear it." He chuckled with an intoxication that made you shiver as he pulled away.

Turning his back to you, he spoke again "It's a good thing I found you when I did, but are you truly ready to prove your worth and loyalty to me?"

Every fiber of your being yearned to please him. "Yes, lord Dio. I would do anything for you. Just name it," you begged.

"Good. Then succeed where others have failed. I need you to destroy those who would oppose me. Show the world the power of your stand and defeat the Joestar party in the name of me, DIO!" His call echoed through the room, striking your very core.

"Anything for you, my lord, Dio. But--" he turned his head towards you in question "What do I mean as a stand?" He added, finishing your thought. "It's only what drew you to me in the first place. That power you hold inside of you. The embodiment of your spirit, and your will to serve out your purpose. I believe you call her Supernova. She is a powerful one... Perhaps powerful enou-- No matter... Test your will and loyalty by bringing down those loathsome Joestars, and I'll allow you to live out your purpose under me, Dio."

And with that, you had your calling. You set off to find the source of your lord's anger, and put a stop to it.


-----------------------------------------------------------

You found yourself walking with a new-found confidence. An assurance in your demeanor that you had lacked for so long. This was the result of His power, His rule, and you reveled in it. Where you would once wander around aimlessly for days-on-end without guidance, you now had a singular goal, and it gave you more comfort and joy than you have ever felt in your entire existence. You only wondered how much better it would feel after you finished this task under His direct will.

"Travel to Hong Kong" a voice echoed in the back of your mind "Don't worry too much about how you will find them. Stand users have a way of... attracting one another."

You sat on top of a shipping container, overlooking a Hong Kong port. You weren't sure why, but something told you to wait here.
