Goodwin’s Invitation

At New Domino City, a limousine sends the Signers, Mina and Leo to Rex Goodwin’s mansion, in which the leader of Yliaster was been waiting for them. Despite his mistrust for Goodwin and for what he has done to his friends, Yusei is determine to learn the truth from him concerning about the Dark Signers. Goodwin nearly didn’t let Leo inside his mansion because Leo wasn’t a Signer, but Luna convince him to let him in, saying she won’t go anywhere without her brother. Goodwin invites the Signers and Leo to follow him inside.

They follow him through an ancient corridor underneath his mansion, in which Goodwin tells them that Jack has been led there before. They arrive at an ancient door which open and close automatically. Behind those doors was an ancient temple which is surrounding by the symbol of the Crimson Dragon. Goodwin says that symbol has been passed down as the legend of the People of the Stars. The Signers’ mark glowed as well as the symbol surrounding the temple, Then, the Crimson Dragon appeared.

History of the Signers

While seeing the dragon, Yusei remembered his first encounter with the dragon while doing his revenge duel match against Jack on New Domino City. Rex tells them that they were guided by the dragon and arrived in New Domino City. Yusei thought Goodwin set it up their meeting and Jack says that they were settling the score between him and Yusei and that the Crimson Dragon had nothing to do with it. Rex reply that in itself is the fate derived by the power of the Crimson Dragon and that he himself did nothing than conduct his actions according to the dragon’s guidance. Yusei ask him if he expect them to believe his story and Goodwin reply that it is up to them to whether or not they believe his story and that as long as they are Signers, they cannot escape from their fate. While seeing her mark, Akiza remembers when her powers first manisfested during her duel against her father and what she been throught witrh her powers during her life.

Rex says that without that power, they would have never met and their birthmark is bestowed only to duelists chosen by the Crimson Dragon. He also says that the fate of the Signers joined each and everyone of their fate and guides them all, including Luna. While watching her mark, Luna remembers her first incursion into the Duel Monsters Spirit World and her encounter with Kuribon and Ancient Fairy Dragon.

Goodwin says to them that they cannot avert their eyes from it, that they share the same birthmark and they are chosen as the reincarnation of the legendary Signers. He also said that whether they like it or not, it was promised thousands of years ago that they would all encounter as so, while at the mercy of destiny. Luna and Akiza are overwhelmed by this revelation. The Crimson Dragon howls and disapeared and the Signers’s mark ceased to glow.

Leo remembers that there’s one Signer missing and Luna ask where is the final Signer. Rex tells them that the last Signer has awakened long ago, which shocked everyone. He said that when the 4 Signers should ever found themselves in real trouble, that person shall most likely appeared along with the Crimson Dragon. Yusei ask him what did he mean by that and Goodwin reply Yusei will know before long. He raised his hand high, a light appeared and they found themselves changed of location. They were at the location where the Nazca Lines disapeared.

History of the Dark Signers

Rex explain to them that thousands of years ago, the Crimson Dragon descended forth to this land and sealed the Incarnates of Evil within the earth, in which they were reffered as the Nazca Lines. The truth of that has been the forbidden history that was only allowed to be handed down to Yliaster, until each of the Nazca Lines geoglyphs began to disapeared. Goodwin says that was the Dark Signers doing. He also says that they possess birthmarks similar to the Signers.

Yusei remembers his first duel against a Dark Signer and how the field they created and the way they dueled, including the Dark Synchro Monsters, nearly cost him his life. Rex says that if their dueling was based on the power of life, the Dark Signers’ dueling is based on the powers of the underworld and when a Dark Signer appears, a geoglyph will surely follow. He also says that their arrival has now put all of New Domino City in a life-or-death crisis. Yusei remembers his duel against Kyosuke Kiryu and how people in Satellite were sacrificed in order for Kiryu to bring out his Earthbound God. Those revelations scared Leo and Luna.

Goodwin says that their actions have already exceeded his calculations, that the geoglyphs have appeared on the city and caused many casualties. He also says that the phenomeon Yusei saw in Satellite also occured in New Domino City and because of the monsters that appeared from the geoglyphs, hundreds of people that were in their vicinity are currently unaccounted for. Those revelations shocked the Signers and Leo.
