In the vast backyard of the Kaiba Mansion, 2 children are playing a game with each other.

Téa, let me see!

The young boy, Seto Kaiba age 8, has reached the greenhouse, where he believes that his friend, Téa Gardner, is hiding in. Looking around carefully, he decides to look under a nearby table. He finally sees Téa there.

"Téa, can I see?"

"Finders Keepers and I found it."

"In my garden."

She then opens her hand to reveal the legendary rare Blue-Eyes White Dragon card.

"The Blue-Eyes White Dragon! There's only 4 of these in the whole world!"

"I know, Seto."

Quickly, the boy seizes the card away from his friend and runs off.

"Finders Keepers!"

Running towards an old well, he climbs ontop and above the wooden boards beneath. Soon after, Téa arrives outside the greenhouse.

"Where are you, Seto?"

Suddenly, the boards beneath him break loose, and he descends about 20 some feet, still falling.

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

Hearing the sound closeby, Téa runs for the well, and sees Seto fallen.

"SETO?"

Shortly, she sprints toward the large mansion behind her.

"Mom! Mister Arthur!"

In the Cave beneath the well, young Seto, in pain, attempts to get back up, but he hears something something screeching. Suddenly, from the darkness, a large number of bats burst out into the open. Afraid, Seto screams in anguish, against the flapping of their wings.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Immediately, a young Japanese man in his mid-twenties, and filthy unshaven face, wakes up from his nightmare.

"Did you have a dream?" asks his elderly cellmate.

"A nightmare."

"Worse than this place?"

Kaiba just shrugs, but it's clear that he can't really decide. He's in some Bhutanese prison.

Prison Courtyard: Later that morning

Kaiba and his cellmate line up for their grueling breakfast.

"They are going to fight you."

"Again?"

"Until they kill you."

"Can't they kill me before breakfast?"

As he's about to turn from the serving tables, he's immediately confronted by an enormous brute. He smashes Kaiba's plate away.

In broken English, the brute said, "You are in hell, little man..."

He punches Kaiba hard and he falls down toward the serving table.

"...and I'm the devil."

Picking himself up, Kaiba dusts himself off.

"You're not the devil...you're practice."

The jail bully swings his fist again, but Kaiba manages to catch it. Instantly, he headbutts the man two times and knocks him out. Suddenly, 6 more prisoners rush at Kaiba, trying to kill him. They grab him, but he bends his legs and pushes himself with the 6 bhutanese men towards the muddy ground. After the fall, Kaiba quickly gets back up, and starts beating the crap out of his foes. The fight is all over in a matter of seconds, but not because of Kaiba's brawling, but...

Some guards break the whole fight with their machine guns, shooting in the air. 2 guards quickly grabs Kaiba.

"Solitary!"

"Why?"

"For protection!"

"I don't need protection!"

"Protection for them!"

One of the guards point towards the beaten up prisoners.

Solitary Confinement Cell: Moments later

The guards shove Kaiba into the cell, forcing his fall onto the wet and filthy grounds.

"Get in!"

Kaiba then starts getting back up.

"Are you so desperate to fight criminals that you lock yourself in to take them on one at a time?"

"Actually they were 7 of them."

"I counted six, Kaiba-boy."

A little shocked, Seto responds almost immediately.

"How do you know my name?"

"The world is too small for someone like Seto Kaiba to disappear. No matter how deep he chooses to sink."

"Who are you?"

"My name is merely Pegasus, but I speak for Ra's al Ghul. A man greatly feared by the criminal underworld. A man who can offer you a path." The stranger presents himself before the disillusioned Kaiba heir. A middle-aged man, with some striking similarities with Aknadin (see Dawn of the Duel season) in appearance.

"What makes you think I need a path?"

"Someone like you is only here by choice. It's no secret you've been exploring the criminal fraternity, but whatever your original intentions...you've become truly lost."

"What path can Ra's al Ghul offer?"

"The path of a man who shares his hatred of evil...and wishes to serve true justice. The path of the League of Shadows."

Seto scoffs and breaks into small laughter.

"You're vigilantes."

"No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man...if you devote yourself to an ideal... If they can't stop you then you become something else entirely."

"Which is?"

"A legend, Mr. Kaiba. Tomorrow you shall be released. If you're bored with brawling with petty thieves and want to achive something...there is a rare blue flower that grows on the eastarn slopes. Pick one of these flowers. If you can carry it to the top of the mountain...you may find what you were looking for in the first place."

"And what was I looking for?"

"Only you can know that."

The mysterious man leaves the cell.

Next day: Near mountains

The next day, Kaiba gets released and get dropped off harshly. He starts to walk towards the mountains. Finally, he finds the batch of blue poppy flowers, and takes one. Later that day, he finds a mountain village nearby and goes inside. He spots a child and asks for food. An elderly man, who seems to be the boy's grandfather, appears soon after.

"No one will help you."

"But I need food."

"Then turn back."

Frustrated, Seto continues his long hike across the snowy mountains.

Himilayan Monastary: Much later

Kaiba, now exhausted barely made it to the entrance of the large monastary before him. Still tired, he attempts to knock on the large heavy doors. The doors open up suddenly, and Kaiba starts his way inside. At the end of the long hall, he sees someone sitting ontop of a throne, dressed in a red robe, bald head, practically the embodiment of fu manchu and Yellow

"Ra's al Ghul?" he says in broken English.

Then a thud noise is behind him. He looks around and sees an unmasked ninja close the doors. Shortly after, some ninja walk towards Kaiba, all dressed in black, armed with various kinds of martial artist weaponry.

"Wait!"

Kaiba looks to see Pegasus nearby. Ra's al Ghul then speaks something in a line of Urdu. Pegasus translates:

"What are you seeking?"

"I seek the...means to fight injustice. To turn fear...against those who prey on the fearful."

Kaiba then takes out the blue poppy and gives it to Pegasus. Pegasus holds it and shows it to Ra's Al Ghul. Once again, Ra's al Ghul speaks another line of Urdu. Pegasus translates:

"To manipulate the fears in others...you must first master your own. Are you ready to begin?"

"I can...I can barely stand..."

"Death does not wait for you to be ready!"

Pegasus immediately push-kicks Kaiba onto the floor. Kaiba, now in shock, struggles to get up but...

"Death is not considerate or fair!"

He kicks Kaiba in the ribs...hard.

"And make no mistake...here you face DEATH!"

As he's about to strike again, Seto snaps out of his physical exhaustion, and blocks the kick. He then throws Pegasus's leg away from him and assumes a martial arts stance.

"Tiger."

Kaiba rushes at Pegasus foolishly and is punished for doing so.

"Jujitsu."

As Kaiba attempts to hit him, he grabs it and spins Kaiba downward.

"AWWGGGHHH!"

"Panther."

Kaiba gets up quickly and tries a flurry of quick punches, but Pegasus blocks and parries his opponent's attacks even quicker. As Pegasus makes his last blocking technique, he grabs Kaiba.

"You're skilled, but this is not a dance."

He headbutts Kaiba in the face, then ends the spar with a knee-kick. Pegasus then nears Kaiba's face, now fallen on the wooden floors.

"And you are afraid...but not of me."

He places the blue poppy into the pockets of Kaiba's raggy jacket. He continues looking at the semi-unconscious man.

"Tell us, Kaiba-boy...what do you fear?"
