=Summary=

Dark Signers Lair
At the Dark Signers Lair, Rudger saw another candlelight being extinguished. He comes to the conclusion that Yusei has defeated Kiryu. He look at his right arm that is bruised and says that he can’t be stopped here. He goes to a table and look at a picture, in which features him, Rex and Mr. Fudo, saying that he have to settle his 17 years score with Yusei.

Satellite
Yusei put his Stardust Dragon into the safety switch and the Giant Tower sinks into the ground. Yusei saw Leo, Luna, Crow and Trudge at a bridge who are greeting him. He rejoined his friends at the bridge and Crow shows him what is going on in Satellite. A light appears and half of the citizen of Satellite have returned. Crow comes to the conclusion that the people been sucked by Earthbound Immortal - Ccapac Apu have come back. Leo and Luna agreed with him.

Crow congratulates Yusei, but his friend says that is too early to celebrate and that, in order to close the Doors of the Underworld, two more towers must be sealed. He also add that there’s still 3 more Dark Signers out there. One of Rudger’s spiders takes control of Trudge. Yusei noticed Trudge’s transformation and tells everyone to get back.

Crow wonders what is going on. Trudge, in a possessed voice, tells Yusei that he defeated Kiryu. Yusei thinks that voice speaking through Trudge is Rudger and Rudger tells him that he will be his next opponent. He also add that if Yusei wants to fight him, he must come to the Old Enerdy. After that, the spider came out of Trudge and Trudge, back to normal, asks what’s wrong. Crow thinks this could be a trap, but Yusei tells him that he must go fight him, even if it is a trap and if he defeats Earthbound Immortal - Uru, the souls of Martha, Rally and the others will return. He decides to go to the Old Enerdy in order to settle things with Rudger.

"Junk Warrior" attacks Rudger (Rudger's Life Points: 4000 → 1700).

Yusei sets 1 card.
