Chapter 1: Meeting of the Aesirs

It had been over four long years since Yusei made it to the surface. He was shocked when he first arrived. The sun, the air, the sights, everything was so different than what he had known. He was quick to find his way to an island like place he learned was called Satellite. He had left his Ketak in the junkyard, but checked on it regularly to ensure nothing happened to it.

After he arrived, he made friends with two surface dwellers known as Jack and Crow along with their foster mother, Martha. He had a few struggles with Jack and it wasn't until they were both marked as Signers, the Crimson Dragon's protectors of light and peace, and they faced the Dark Signers, their polar opposites, that they actually made up. Along the way, he also made a couple news friends: Akiza, Luna, and Leo.

Six months after that fight, a new threat approached. It started with the Ghost and was soon revealed to be a group of three men: The Emperors of Yliaster. Their individual names: Lester who looked like a small boy, Primo who seemed like an average sized man, and Jakob who seemed like a wider and taller old man.

But no one knew his origins. No one had ever even seen his crystal. Crow and Jack didn't even know, and they had asked for him to talk for years. Eventually, though, the two friends gave up.

It was the evening before the semi-finals begun in the World Racing Grand Prix. Yusei, Jack, and Crow had stopped at the overlook to talk about the coming events.

"So our next opponent is Team Ragnarok," Jack commented.

"They're said to be tough opponents. They have three Nordic God cards and people say they have the Rune Eyes," Yusei commented.

"Doesn't that mean they're successors of some Aesir ground?" Crow asked.

"Yep," Yusei replied. "They're tough opponents by what I've heard. Especially with their god cards. According to what I've been told, their god cards aren't as tough as the legendary Egyptian God cards but they are tough nonetheless."

"Sounds like you think we'll be easy to beat," came a voice from behind.

They turned around and saw the three members of Team Ragnarok standing there. "Seems we finally meet somewhere other than a battlefield," Halldor stated.

"Seems so," Yusei responded.

"I say we should at least tell you about the Aesirs," Broder stated.

"Hmm, perhaps," Halldor agreed and immediately began to explain the tale of how the Aesirs came to be and how the members of Team Ragnarok came to obtaining the Aesirs. When the story was finished, Jack and Crow were a bit tense but Yusei was perfectly calm unmoved by their words which might shake another duelist. "You are right about one thing, Yusei. We are tough opponents. Tough enough where we will defeat you," Halldor responded to him.

"Do you really think you can stop Team New World?" Jack asked.

"Instead of going against Team New World apart, perhaps we should try to expose the plot of Team New World and help one another in that quest," Yusei suggested.

"No," Halldor declared. "The Aesir are not willing to enter an alliance with the Crimson Dragon's Signers. Especially with one who is in the bloodline of someone who caused pain and destruction."

Yusei tensed. "Zero Reverse was an accident," he told Halldor. "For the most part at least. Roman Goodwin was convinced to by Yliaster and caused it himself. Hakase- My father wanted to stop the project before Zero Reverse occurred."

"Is that so?" Halldor scoffed. "It was Professor Fudo's research that caused that explosion. It was his research."

"Either way, Halldor, it wasn't Professor Fudo's or Yusei's fault. Yusei was only a baby when Zero Reverse occurred," Crow defended.

"Even though it was his father's research, it wasn't his father who caused Zero Reverse. He tried to stop it, actually," Jack told them.

"You truly believe that?" Halldor asked. The two other Signer nodded.

"I'm shocked, Atlas. You seem liked you've changed quite a bit since the last time we dueled," Dragan stated.

"You fought him before, Jack?" Crow asked.

"Once," Jack replied, "and beat him too."

"Don't you remember that duel better, Jack?" Dragan asked.

"I do," Jack answered.

~Flashback~

Jack drew his card as he took the first draw. "I summon Top Runner (Attack 1100/ Defense 800) in attack mode and set two face downs," he declared.

Dragan drew his card. "I summon Garmr of the Nordic Beasts (Attack 800/ Defense 1900) in attack mode and finish my turn with a face down," he proclaimed.

"I summon Power Breaker (Attack 1900/ Defense 0) in attack position. Now I turn Power Breaker with Top runner to synchro summon Red Dragon Archfiend (Attack 3000/ Defense 2500)! Now attack his Garmr!" Jack ordered his dragon. Red Dragon Archfiend attacked and destroyed Garmr.

The duel ran forward but eventually, Dragan lost the duel.

~Flashback Ended~

"Did you know I was forced to lose of purpose by Lazar and Former Director Goodwin in order to raise money for my father's hospitalization?" Dragan asked. Jack tensed.

"Yusei, you spoke for a second like Hakase Fudo wasn't your real father," Broder commented.

"He's right," Halldor agreed. "Care to explain?" Yusei stayed silent. That's when Halldor's eye glowed and formed a rune. He then narrowed his eyes as he noticed something. "What is that glowing underneath your shirt?"

"Yusei, does this have to you with that history you never told us?" Crow asked.

"You don't know his history?" Dragan questioned, all three Aesirs were surprised by this development. What was he hiding even from his friends?
