Summary
Intro
In outer space, a giant stone tablet tumbles down towards the Earth in the direction of Japan. An infinity symbol is shown and fades away as a shot of the city appears. In the background construction continues on one of many bridges.
Yusei rides his Duel Runner, along one of the bridges, narrating that it has been 6 months since the battle against the Dark Signers and that the city and Satellite are now connected.
Lazar's investigation
At Sector Security headquarters, Lazar starts to panic over Goodwin's absence and the possibility of the Ghosts. After receiving a phone call, his panic starts to amplify.
Three white hooded figures arrive at the crater formed by the tablet and gaze up at the stone structure, which remains intact. The trio consists of a old man, a young adult, while the third looks more child-like. Each of them have something covering one of their eyes. Sirens are heard, as Lazar and a group of Securities pull up in squad cars. Lazar makes his way over to the trio, demanding to know their identities, but the younger adult member points a sword at him. The child-like one speaks a bit and starts to titter. Lazar realizes who they are and drops to his hands and knees, bowing to them.
Mina and Trudge's investigation
At night time, a man on a Duel Runner gets chased by a monster, who is barely visible in his visor. Later that night, Security are investigating the incident, where they now have the man in a body bag. Mina and Trudge, who has been promoted to chief, arrive at the scene and show their IDs, granting them entry. They are shown the man's now very mangled Duel Runner.
Later over at Yusei, Crow and Jack's basement, the boys are working on a Duel Runner. Crow, dressed in his Blackbird Delivery outfit, challenges Jack to a race. Jack is mounted on a Duel Runner, which is fixed in its spot. He says he won't lose to Crow and continue to get Jack to up the speed of the Runner. Yusei warns him to stop before it overloads, but Jack ignores him causing an explosion. Outside, clouds of smoke burst out of the building, startling many people in the area. Inside everyone is okay, but the Runner is now in pieces. As Crow and Jack start to bicker, people gather around an overhead window, starting down at them. An old lady named Zora appears at the entrance to the basement and starts yelling at Jack and Crow. After spotting Yusei, she calms down and starts to act more affectionately.
Trudge and Mina's squad car pulls up outside the residence. They start to talk with Yusei, Jack and Crow. Yusei shows the remains of the Duel Runner, they'd been working on, while Crow and Jack tell them of their plans to enter the World Turbo Grand Prix. Trudge tells them about the Ghosts, prompting Crow to mention the rumors he's heard of how the Ghosts infect people's Duel Runners. Trudge tells them about the tournaments new rules, which means they'll be using "Speed World 2" instead of the standard "Speed World". Crow rushes the two of them out and bolts the door shut behind them.
Mina and Trudge continue to discuss the matter in their car. Trudge orders a group of Duel Chasers to head in the direction of Ghost.
