What starts off as a competition for glory and honor becomes a battle for survival when King Aeno reveals the fate of the losers: The complete destruction of their home universes. Now all four heroes must battle not merely to win great honor, but to save everyone and everything they love. If the heroes are to truly save their universes, however, they must uncover the real purpose of the Tournament and do the impossible: Defy destiny itself.
