Yusei was remembering his Duel with Jack and how a red dragon appeared during the Duel. He also remembered him and Rainbow Dash being arrested for being from the Satellite Sector. "Yusei Fudo." He remembered Rainbow Dash trying to help him escape only for them to be caught. "Yusei Fudo!"

Back in the present, Yusei was sitting on a chair before a judge, with his hands cuffed behind his back.

"Are you listening? The authorities have seized your Duel Runner and Deck. Yusei Fudo! Satellite citizens trespassing into Neo Domino City without permission is a heinous crime. Therefore, the Public Maintenance Department has rendered the following verdict: one count! You will be inscribed with a marker," The judge revealed.


Yusei had a yellow marker burned painfully onto his face, screaming in agony as it was burnt onto the left side of his face. After the mark was on his face, Yusei fell forward in pain onto the floor.

"Under Neo Domino City jurisdiction, this mark symbolizes incompatibility. It means that you are not allowed to live in our jurisdiction!" A guard explained as they pulled Yusei's head up.


"One count! Yusei Fudo will take part in a reeducation program at a detention center for one month. Hurry up and get on! This is to reconfirm that you know the laws of Neo Domino City. Every violator must take this program. After finishing the program, you will spend six months at the Neo Domino City expansion factory before being sent home to Satellite," Yusei remembered a guard saying as he was placed into a truck that was heading towards The Facility. He was sitting in between Rainbow Dash, who now had a lightning bolt marker under her right eye, and an old man named Yanagi.

"So, I take it you're going to be returned to Satellite too?" Rainbow Dash asked Yusei, snapping him out of his thoughts. "It isn't fair! Jack can be here and it isn't a problem for him! What?! We're supposed to live in a funless nightmare where we only exist to work?! Please! We're people, not slaves!"

"I understand, but right now we should probably be quiet. The last thing we need is to cause unnecessary trouble," Yusei whispered to Rainbow, which the young woman begrudgingly accepted.

Before Yusei could go back to his thoughts, he was kept in reality by Yanagi, "Hey." Yusei tried to look away from him, only for the old man to move his head to the other side of Yusei. "Hey hey." Yanagi moved back to his position in the truck. "I heard you were caught trespassing. Same here. My name is Yanagi. Nice to meet you." When Yusei failed to accept his handshake and looked out the window behind him, yanagi continued. "You were caught at Duel Stadium, right? I was nearby at the time. It was incredible. All the lights went out. But what surprised me the most was that red dragon! Weren't you and your friend inside the stadium at that time?"

Yusei finally spoke to the old man, "What do you know?"

"Bro, how did you bring that out?" Yanagi asked. "Weren't you having a Turbo Duel? You can bring that dragon out during a Duel?" Yusei was a bit surprised at this.


Jack was tossing and turning in his sleep, dreaming about the red dragon from back at Duel Stadium. Eventually, Jack woke up panting heavily. He proceeded to look at the mark on his arm.

"Have a good night's sleep?" Pinkie bitterly asked the king.

"Huh?" Jack looked around and saw Pinkie Pie sitting on a chair. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?"

"How could you let Yusei and Rainbow Dash be arrested? Now they're likely suffering in prison somewhere!"

"I don't have time to deal with this," Jack said as he got up to leave. Jack proceeded to leave the bedroom and upon seeing Mina, asked her, "How long have I been here?"

Mina, who was holding a few roses that she was placing into a vase, answered, "Good morning. Since this morning, Master Atlas. The director himself brought you here. He thought the reason you were upset was because the Duel wasn't completed."

"Wait! How did you know that the Duel wasn't completed?" Jack questioned.

Mina looked shocked upon hearing this. "I'm sorry. I saw the whole thing," Mina apologized as she bowed. She was quickly shocked upon seeing Jack leave. "Master Atlas, where are you going?" Jack opened the doors and began to leave. "Please wait, Master Atlas!"


"As you can see, when Red Dragon Archfiend and Stardust Dragon clashed, the Moment's rotations increased rapidly," Zigzig explained as he showed Rex Goodwin the image of the Duel from the night before.

"This supports the conditions required for resurrecting the ancient Crimson Dragon," Lazar said with a laugh.

"That's correct! This event occurred just when we finalized plans to include Moment in all parts of Neo Domino City! This is great news!" Zigzig spun around like a top only to stop when the image disappeared.

"This is when we lose power, so the image stopped."

"I see," Rex began. "That means the Crimson Dragon hasn't been filmed clearly.

"Correct," Lazar confirmed.


The truck that was taking Yusei, Rainbow, Yanagi, and many others to the Facility arrived just outside the center. When Yusei got out of the truck, he was forcibly pushed by one guard towards another guard. "This way!"

The guard proceeded to scan Yusei's marker. "You're G2MA2-88. Starting today, you will be referred to by your number. Everyone who caused problems in the city are housed here to undergo reeducation. Other than trespassers like you, people unfit for society are also kept here," The guard explained as he led the group to their cells. On the way there, Yusei and Rainbow passed Bolt Tanner's cell, the tall man noticing them both. "Stop! This is your room! Enter!" The doors for the cells opened up, with Rainbow being led to enter the cell that housed Tanner.

"Hooray! I can finally sleep in a bed," Yanagi jumped onto the bed on the left, his wooden shoes popping off as he did so. Yusei followed Yanagi into the room.

"The reeducation program starts in the afternoon. Until then. You should think about what you did," the guard said as he left, closing the cell door behind him.

As the guard walked away, Tanner was quick to get the guard's attention. "Hello."

"What do you want?" the guard asked.

"I want to throw a welcome party for the new arrivals. As a old-timer, I'll teach them the rules of this place," Tanner said as he gave a thumbs up.

"Again? Don't cause too much trouble," the guard said as he unlocked Tanner's cell.

Finally, Rainbow began to speak. "So, who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked the tall man.

"Listen up. The name is Bolt Tanner, but everyone calls me Tanner. While the guards claim that they're in charge here, the truth is I'm the real rule maker in this place. Everyone gets a rank, which is determined by how well you can Duel. So, do you have a Deck, newbie?" Tanner asked the rainbow haired woman.

"Sorry, but mine got taken away along with my friend's," Rainbow apologized.

"Heh. Of course a person from the Satellite wouldn't have a Deck. You're nothing here," Tanner mocked.

"What?!" Rainbow Dash was fuming.

"You heard me. Now, get ready for the play room, kid," Tanner said as he got his Deck ready for Dueling.


"This place is big. And it's also new," Yanagi said as he looked out the window.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Yusei said.

"About what?" Yanagi asked.

"About the red dragon."

"Bro," Yanagi said as he jumped down from the window. "Did you bring a Deck? We'll talk afterwards."

"We're not allowed to bring one," Yusei sadly answered.

"Ta-daa!" Yanagi said as he revealed a few hidden cards. "After visiting various detention centers, I learned that you always need a Deck."

"You're allowed to Duel here?"

"It's the same inside as outside. Even in a detention center, there are ones who are in control and ones being controlled. Who's who is decided by a Duel."
"A Duel."

Yanagi proceeded to nod.


"Master Atlas! Please wait, Master Atlas!" Mina pleaded with Jack as he stormed towards the room where Goodwin was at.

"This shows that when the king had them both out simultaneously, Moment didn't run amok!" Zigzig explained.

"But it did when they clashed," Lazar continued. "So did something happen when the two battled?" Goodwin just sat there until he heard the door open.

"I'm sorry, director," Mina apologized as she and Jack entered the room.

Jack looked and saw that they were watching his Duel with Yusei. "What is this?" Jack demanded. "Why are you watching this?"

"Please calm down," Rex said as he got up. "This is the Public Maintenance Department. We protect the peace in Neo Domino City. It is our duty to learn about strange events that occur in the city. Information connected to the people of the stars is especially important."

"You know something," Jack accused Goodwin. When the Crimson Dragon appeared, I felt a pain on this mark!" Jack showed the wing and body mark on his arm.

"That's right. According to legend, you are a Signer. You're a person who has the mark of the dragon," Rex explained as he and everyone else in the room bowed to Jack. "You are the chosen one. You are a person of the stars."

"However, Yusei also had the mark! It was linked to my mark!" Jack revealed.

"What? That person from Satellite?"

"You didn't see it?"

"Unfortunately, the visuals were cut due to the power outage," Rex apologized.

"I saw it! Yusei's arm also had the mark! So did that pink haired girl and her rainbow haired friend. But he didn't have it two years ago!" Jack then noticed something with the footage of the Duel. "Stop! Pause the monitor! Rewind!" The footage went to the part where Yusei played a trap card. "Right here! Enlarge that section."

"Easily done," Zigzig said as he enlarged Yusei's trap card.

"This is… Meteor Stream!" Jack realized.

"I see. Meteor Stream. King, what you activated right before was… End of the Storm, which destroys all monsters on the field. For every destroyed monster, the player takes 300 points of damage," Lazar explained.

"That's right! That was a strategy to get Stardust back! He takes damage, and then it was supposed to return to my field after he released it! But at the very end, he was going to use Meteor Stream," Jack said.

"When a released monster resurrects, that card deals 1000 points of damage. That means…" Lazar said with a crazed expression.

"I had 900 Life Points. If I took 1000 points of damage..., 0! I lost to him!" Jack realized. "I…" Jack started to tremble in anger.

"Don't worry about it," Goodwin said as he placed a comforting hand on Jack's hand. "No one knows what happened last night.

"But I know! The king knows! There's no way I can forget this Duel! Where is he? Where is he right now?" Jack demanded.

Rex turned around and took a few steps before answering, "It's regular policy to quarantine people who arrive from Satellite. He is no exception. He would be at the detention center by now."

Meanwhile, back at the Facility, the cells opened up as Tanner and his men entered Yusei and Yanagi's room.

"I'm going to meet him, Jack started to leave.

"You can't. Think about your role as the king," Rex stopped Jack. "Don't you want to know about the people of the stars and Signers? Don't you want to know who you truly are?"


Yusei, Rainbow, and Yanagi were pushed into an exercise room that also doubled as a Dueling room. The trio turned around to see Tanner and his men.

"Welcome to my Duel Field," Tanner said. Yanagi was nervous while Rainbow was seething and Yusei was unresponsive to Tanner. Tanner prepared his Duel Disk with a laugh. "I'm Tanner. This is my realm. Since you're new, you don't know that there are two sets of rules. One for inside the detention center and another for the outside. Got it? And I rule the inside," Tanner said as he got into Yusei's face.

Suddenly, Yanagi got a huge smile on his face, approached Tanner and said, "I know who you are! You're the Pro Duelist Bolt Tanner, right?"

"So, this guy is a Pro Duelist?" Rainbow Dash was surprised.

"Shut up, geezer!" Tanner yelled in anger.

"Awesome! I'm so lucky that I can meet you in a place like this!" Yanagi yelled. "Hey bro, I've seen him several times on TV."

"Stop talking about the past!" Tanner yelled.

"That geezer can't sense the tension in the air," One of Tanner's men said.

"Talking about Tanner's past is not allowed," Another man said.

"Hey geezer! When I talk about the rules on the inside, it means that you have to Duel me to determine your rank. The lower rank must obey the higher rank!" Tanner explained.

"You're lucky I don't have my Deck, otherwise I'd give you a good thrashing!" Rainbow yelled.

"That's what I thought. Since I thought this was going to happen, I brought a Deck. My Deck is incredible. It's the rarest of the rare! I call it the Treasure Deck! Look" Yanagi said as he got out several of his cards and tried to show them off.

"Treasure Deck?" One man asked.

"The rarest of the rare?" Another man asked.

"It's good that you're prepared. What about you?" Tanner asked Yusei.

"I don't have one," Yusei said in disappointment.

"Just like my new roommate. You're a trespasser from Satellite. That means you won't have a Deck. Just by being a citizen of Satellite, you're the lowest of the low," Tanner whispered.

"Well now, my bro didn't know anything. Take it easy on me, Tanner-chan," Yanagi said.

"Stop saying my name like that!" Tanner yelled.

"Let me borrow a Duel Disk." Yanagi got a Duel Disk placed on his arm. "I'm so happy that I can Duel against Tanner-chan," Yanagi said.

"Geezer!" Tanner yelled in annoyance.

"Be careful, Tanner," one man said.

"He said it's the rarest of the rare. I'm scared," another man said.

"He's just bragging. I'll break through his disguise," Tanner gloated.

"Oh really? Am I bragging? Watch, bro," Yanagi said as he looked towards Yusei.

"Grandpa, I'll let you go first," Tanner said.

Yanagi laughed. "Okay, let's Duel! My turn! First, I'll show you this! It's an incredible card that I acquired recently! This card was found deep in South America and depicts a strange ancient item!"

"Stop bragging and hurry up and play it, geezer," Tanner rushed his opponent.

"Watch and be shocked!" Yanagi kissed his card. "I summon Crystal Skull in Defense Position (0 Defense)!" Everyone was in shock and awe at the monster's summoning. "Come out, Crystal Skull!" Yanagi then got zapped by his own card, losing 1000 Life Points. "Why?"

"Wait, this card does damage to the user? Why?" Rainbow asked as she facepalmed.

Yanagi

3000

Tanner's men were laughing. "Don't you know that card's monster effect?" One man said.

"The player who summons Crystal Skull takes 1000 points of damage," Another man said.

"Oh no! No wonder it's an ancient treasure. There's a curse on it!" Yanagi cried.

Tanner's men continued to laugh. "I can't believe you put such a useless card in your Deck," Tanner belittled.

"Oh yeah! There's a rumor that Crystal Skull's elaborate designs could only be created using modern methods," One of Tanner's men said.

Tanner laughed as he said, "That means it's a forgery."

"That's not true! Ancient people created Crystal Skull using techniques that even we don't know about!" Yanagi countered.

"That's enough! It's the end of your turn, right?" Tanner made sure.

"Uh-hu."

"Then it's my turn. I activate the spell card Cost Down! Until the end phase, the level of all monsters is decreased by two!" Tanner played.

"Lower the level?" Yanagi asked in confusion.

"All I did was make my skill level in Dueling match yours, grandpa. I discard one card in my hand an summon level 6 Ushi Oni (2150 Attack)!" The monster shocked Yanagi.

"Ushi Oni!" One of Tanner's men said.

"He said that he would lower his skill level, but he brought out Ushi Oni. Tanner is cruel," Another man said.

Tanner laughed. "Due to Cost Down, level 6 Ushi Oni becomes level 4, so I can summon it without releasing another monster. Ushi Oni, attack Crystal Skull!"

"No! Don't destroy my crystal Skull!" Yanagi pleaded, only for the plea to fall on deaf ears and the monster to be destroyed. All the men cheered as Yanagi was horrified. "No! My Crystal Skull!"

"It's fate that fakes quickly vanish. It's your turn, grandpa," Tanner said mockingly. "Bring it."

"It's time for my next card. I draw! This is pretty good too. Its Defense Points are excellent! Look at this card. I summon it in Defense Position (2200 Defense)!" Yanagi played.

"Whoa! For a defensive card that looks pretty good," Rainbow said.

"I've never seen a card like this!" One of Tanner's men was amazed.

"That's Ashoka Pillar," another of Tanner's men said.

"That's right. Ashoka Pillar is a mysterious iron pole that exists in India. Thuis perfect Iron Pole was made using techniques that didn;t exist during that era!" Yanagi explained.

"Grandpa, do you really want to Duel? You've played nothing but lame cards! Are you making fun of me?" Tanner demanded.

"I'll show you even more shocking cards! From my hand, I equip the spell card spirit mask on Ashoka Pillar!" Yanagi played.

"So? What are you planning to do with that?" Tanner asked.

"Stay tuned. I end my turn."

"My turn. I draw! Grandpa, all you want to do is show off your cards. All your cards are useless garbage that don't work well together!" Tanner criticized, much to Yusei and Rainbow's anger.

"Hey! Don't say that about Yanagi's Deck! I've come to learn that every Deck can work. There has to be a way to make his Deck work," Rainbow Dash countered.

"This is a waste of time! I'll wipe away those garbage cards! First, I release Ushi Oni!" Tanner played.

"Why?" Yanagi asked.

"I special summon Giant Ushi Oni (2600 Attack)!"

"Oh my!"

"Giant Ushi Oni is a monster that can only be summoned by releasing Ushi Oni. Giant Ushi Oni, attack Ashoka Pillar! Specter's Bite!" Tanner yelled.

"Well done, Tanner!" One of Tanner's men said as Yanagi was horrified.

"You're pathetic. But don't think you've escaped yet! When Ashoka Pillar is destroyed, you take 2000 points of damage!" Tanner reminded Yanagi.

Tanner

4000

Yanagi

1000

"And don't forget the effect of Spirit Mask. When that card is sent to the graveyard, you have to send another card in your hand to the graveyard," Tanner reminded his opponent.

"Oh yeah," Yanagi remembered as he sent a card from his hand to the graveyard.

"It takes skill to gather that many useless cards," one of Tanner's men said, which angered Yusei.

"Giant Ushi Oni's monster effect! If it destroys your monster in battle, it can attack again! Attack Grandpa Directly!" Tanner finished off Yanagi's Life Points.

"Are you okay, grandpa?" Yusei asked as he helped pick up Yanagi.

Rainbow Dash also went over to help up Yanagi. "To be honest, you could probably find a way to win with that Deck."

"Thanks, you two," Yanagi accepted their help, then ran over to collect his Treasure Deck.

"Grandpa, you lose. Sheesh," Tanner said as he walked over to Yanagi. "Not only didn't I lose any Life Points, but you Dueled in a manner that was insulting to me!" Tanner stepped on one of Yanagi's cards. "Grandpa, I give you the lowest rank possible!"

"I wasn't insulting you. I just wanted to show these cards to an incredible Duelist like you! I love these cards! Am I not allowed to love them? It's true that I don't know much about effects and such. But I love these cards because they tell me about the mysteries of the human world. Please move your foot. My precious cards are in pain!" Tanner started to dig his foot into the card, scraping it against the floor. "How horrible!"

"Ugh! You're almost as annoying as that purple haired bookworm that I met back before I got sent here. Still, at least she was a talented Duelist," Tanner said.

"Wait. Did this bookworm use a magician Deck?" Rainbow asked.

"Well, yeah. She knew what she was doing all right. Wait. Why am I telling you this?" Tanner said.

Rainbow's face grew into a smile for a moment. That meant that Twilight was also here, somewhere in the city. She just needed to find her now.

Yusei grabbed Tanner's shoulder and then proceeded to trip him with his leg.

"What are you doing, you punk!" Tanner demanded.

"Will you let me borrow that Deck?" Yusei kindly asked Yanagi, much to his confusion. "I want to win with that Deck. You said you were a professional Duelist, so Duel me."

"Interesting. You're saying that you can beat me with that lame Deck?"

"Of the numerous cards in existence, there is not a single useless card," Yusei said, much to Yanagi's joy.
