Underground Tunnel
Crow investigates the undeground tunnel and comes to the conclusion that used to be the Enerdy’s Research Laboratory and saw the picture of Yusei’s family.
The Duel
Yusei draws a card and the card he draws is the Effect Monster, Zero Gardna. Rudger says that Yusei draw a monster card and activates the effect of Destiny Trigger, in which when Yusei draw a card that’s the same type as the card sent to the Graveyard by Rudger, his Life Points are halved. Yusei’s Life Points goes to 50. Leo, Luna and Trudge are worried for Yusei.
Rudger says that Yusei’s end is coming. Leo is worried sick for Yusei since he only have 50 Life Points left. Yusei says that his Life Points aren’t gone yet. The 3 friends encourages Yusei. Yusei summoned Zero Gardna with 0 DEF. After that, he set one card face-down and ends his turn. Rudger is surprised that Yusei still have the will to fight on and his will is just like Mr. Fudo. He can’t believe that, after 17 years, the Signer to fight against him is Dr. Fudo’s son and feels a strong sense of fate. Yusei replies that he don’t have any fate with the likes of Rudger. The Dark Signer remind him that his Life Points are almost gone and that his soul will disappear into the light of Enerdy.
The 17 Years Old story
Rudger decided to tell a story about Dr. Fudo to Yusei. He explains that, 17 years ago, Dr. Fudo started the Yusei Project and he was the leader of the project. The twins wonders what Rudger is talking about. Rudger explains that the Yusei Project had to do with a cogwheel that worked to connect all other cogwheels and that Dr. Fudo gave Yusei his name. He also adds that Dr. Fudo wished that Yusei could be a person to connect people with each other through bonds. The Yusei Project was the project that would create Enerdy. The doctor researched the rotation and energy of the Enerdy. Rex and Rudger were researchers but the doctor took a liking to them and they were able to become his assistants. The doctor was as excited as a child in the project and its chance for success. He believed in the world’s future that the Enerdy could create. The research was going well until that time.
As he tells the story, flashback of his life are shown. Dr. Fudo, Rex and Rudger were doing research until they felt a tremor. Rudger saw the computer screen and says that the energy gaze is showing a rise in energy, but there’s doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with them.
They couldn’t understand the problem, but back then, no one could think that the Enerdy could release so much energy. Because of the experiments, the city was in danger.
Rudger is shocked about Dr. Fudo saying that the experiments must be stopped. Dr. Fudo Says that they have no choice. He don’t understand the reason, but there’s no mistake that the city and Enerdy are having problems. Rex was about to say that all the research will be lost. Dr. Fudo knows that already, but as long as their safety is being threatened, they can’t continue to leave the citizens in danger. Rudger is a little sad by it.
In order to gather new data, Rudger looked for a place where a similar experiment was being conducted, which was the Nazca Lines. He arrived in South America to investigate the Nazca Lines, having heard about the legend that there was a battle of the Gods for 5000 Years there. In the Nazca geoglyph, he heard that evil being were sealed inside and that they would fight against the good.
During his investigation, he met a mysterious man who claims to be from Yliaster. The man tells Rudger it’s a shame that the research on Enerdy would be halted. Rudger wonders how does he know about that, but the stranger simply replies that Rudger wish to continue the research. He also adds that the research must continue, even if he have to get rid of Dr. Fudo.
Rudger asks him what he is talking about. The stranger replies that in the light of Enerdy, there are possibilities that even Rudger can’t imagine and that the people of Yliaster believe that Rudger is a true genius that should be in the first page of the history book. He also adds that Rudger was already been chosen. Rudger wonders what does the stranger mean by that. The stranger replies the birthmark on Rudger’s left arm. He looks at his birthmark on his left arm and says that’s a birthmark he has ever since he was born. The stranger says that fate already chosen Rudger and that he can’t run away from that.
Back to the Present
Yusei is surprised that Rudger revealed himself to be the fifth Signer.
Back to the Flashback
Rudger asks the stranger if the 5000 years old battle between the Gods actually existed and the stranger simply replies that is something he should see with his very own eyes with the will of the light of Enerdy. After that, he laughs and disappears in a sandstorm.
He returned in New Domino City and goes into the laboratory to see the Enerdy to search for truth in the stranger’s claims. Suddenly, dark purple lights strikes Rudger’s eyes and Rudger sees visions about the Earthbound Immortals, the Crimson Dragon and their battle. The Enerdy was a switch to ressurect the 5000 years old battle between the Gods.
Back to the Present
Crow continues his investigation of the old laboratory and find Rex in a research room, instantly regonizing him. He asks Rex why is he here. He replies that he came here to find out the truth about his family and his big brother and he looks at the picture of him, Rudger and Dr. Fudo. He says that his brother was considered a genius at a young age and he was proud of him. However, he was bound by unbelievable fate.
Rex’s Flashback
While Rex is telling the story, flashbacks are shown. Dr. Fudo says that he’s going to stop the Enerdy research, no matter what the agents says to him. One of the agents tells Dr. Fudo that he no longer have the power to do that and has been relieved of his duties as a member of M.I.D.S. Dr. Fudo cannot believe what he just heard. Another agent tells the doctor that they’re been involved in the development of Enerdy for too long and that the successor has already been decided. The successor was revealed to be Rudger.
Dr. Fudo asks Rudger what is the meaning of this. Rudger replies that Dr. Fudo doesn’t have the courage to see the truth and tells Dr. Fudo to let him take over. Dr. Fudo says that he already set controllers on the Enerdy. When he says as long as Rudger can’t release the seals, Rudger shows him the 4 cards: Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, Black Rose Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon, which revealed to be the seals. Dr. Fudo takes the cards and the agents shoots at him with their laser guns. In his getaway, he let down one card, Ancient Fairy Dragon.
Rex found Dr. Fudo who is badly wounded and tells his friend to get a hold of himself. Dr Fudo tells Rex to stop the Enerdy and gave him the 3 cards.
Rex searches for his brother in the laboratory. He finally found his brother who just cut his left arm and put it in a container. Rudger gave the container to his brother, saying that someday, the Signers will appear and no matter how many years it may take, Rex must gather them together and defeat Rudger. Rex wonders what his brother is talking about, but Rudger tells his brother to do what he says. He also adds that there are two Gods within his body, but chose the path of darkness and tells his brother to take his left arm and get away from the laboratory, while a small amount of Rudger’s self remains. He points his brother at gun point, forcing Rex to do what he says. He goes into the Enerdy Control Room and touch the self destruct button which cause the Zero Reverse, saying that this way, he’ll be reborn as a Dark Signer.
Before the explosion could kill him, Dr. Fudo put his son Yusei in a capsule escaping hatch, saving him from the explosion. The Zero Reverse has split the city into two.
Back to the Present
Rudger explains that back then, the Doors of the Underworld began to open through the events of 5000 years ago.
Discussion
Crow concludes that, because of the accident, his parents, Yusei’s parents and Jack’s parents all died and the city was divided into Satellite. Even the legendary man couldn’t stop the city from dividing into two. Rex asks Crow if he knows the identity of the man who flews from Daedalus Bridge. Crow replies no, but couldn’t forget how famous he was and wish to make Satellite and New Domino City into one someday. Rex says that Crow has the same motive as Yusei and asks the young man to send a message for him: That if he defeated his brother, he’ll be waiting for him. After that, he goes into an elevator. Crow tried to stop him, wondering what he is talking about.
