Jaden is fishing at the [[Duel Academy harbor|harbor]]. He yawns, saying he's bored. He wonders if any outside Duelists have arrived yet, but hasn't seen any boats. Syrus and Hassleberry run up to him and Jaden asks why they look so happy. Syrus says he knew running away wasn't going to do any good, so he started by defeating a freshman red student and Hassleberry says he did the same with a second-year yellow. They both proudly show their newly-won Genex Medallions. Syrus asks why Hassleberry has to be such a show-off and the latter responds by asking if he wants to Duel now to settle it. Syrus declines, saying it's only the first challenge he's obligated to take, claiming he's tired. Hassleberry asks how many students Jaden defeated, who responds by saying none, since he was hoping to have his first opponent to be someone from outside Duel Academy. He's been sitting here waiting, but no one has shown up. Syrus wonders if they're really coming. They hear a noise overhead as Ojin's plane comes into view. It lands on top of the [[Duel Academy warehouse|warehouse]]. The three rush to meet it. Hassleberry muses that he must be pretty important to arrive in such a large plane. Syrus sees the insignia on the side of the plane, saying it's the royal crest of the Misgarth Kingdom.
Jaden asks what that is and Syrus asks if Jaden never watches the news. Syrus says it's a small, isolated country, but they've launched [[SORA (satellite)|SORA]], a laser satellite that could burn the world down. He says he did hear that their first prince is a big fan of ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' though. He had announced on TV that he had passed his test to become a professional Duelist. Jaden says that now he know who his first opponent is. Jaden runs towards the plane, where Ojin is about to descend from with three bodyguards and Linda. Ojin tells his bodyguards to relax - the kid appears to be a challenger. Jaden is about to challenge Ojin when Sartorius appears, zapping Jaden with energy by touching his shoulder. Sartorius offers Jaden his apologies and says that Ojin's existence is unrelated to his destiny, as Chazz and Alexis arrives behind him. Sartorius declares that because of that, he will be Ojin's opponent. Jaden asks who decided that and Sartorius responds that the heavens did. Jaden asks him to hold on and Sartorius approaches Ojin, asking for a Duel. Jaden points out that he was the one who found him first and asks to Duel instead. Ojin asks which one of them is connected to [[Destiny Hero|the "D" cards]]. Jaden asks if he means the "[[Destiny HERO|Destiny Hero]]es" and Sartorius says that that would be him. Ojin concludes that Sartorius will be his opponent then. Sartorius says he is delighted and grateful. Jaden asks how Sartorius is linked to the "Destiny Heroes", insisting that that would be Aster.
As the Duel is about to begin by the docks, Bastion arrives on the roof of the warehouse and yells for Sartorius to Duel him. Alexis tells him to be quiet, as Sartorius' opponent has already been decided. Bastion holds up multiple Genex Medallions, proving he's been winning. Chazz comments that that just means he won against lowly Duelists. Alexis tells him off, saying that Sartorius' opponent is a world-famous figure. Bastion turns away in disappointment, saying he worked so hard. Ojin tells Sartorius that he is a busy Prince, so he will obliterate his opponent in an instant. Sartorius says that he foresees the same thing - this Duel will end before his own first turn comes. Syrus asks if that means he'll lose right away and Hassleberry is surprised Sartorius would admit defeat. Alexis is worried, but Chazz is sure that his words have some other, profound meaning. As Bastion draws in the dirt with a stick, Ojin says that Sartorius must be one gloomy fellow to admit his own defeat. Sartorius says he really wishes to see the Prince's Dueling. Ojin asks if they may begin with his turn and Sartorius says that's fine.
Ojin Normal Summons "Satellite Base" in Defense Position, explaining that it can't be [[destroyed by battle]] with monsters of Level 5 or lower and that its DEF will rise by 1000 at each End Phase. He may Normal Summon again as a turn passed because of "Mischief of the Time Goddess". Ojin declares that he'll use it to stall as he rebuilds his forces. Sartorius sends the "[[Intervention of Fate]]" [[Spell Card]] in his hand to the Graveyard as Ojin Summoned a monster. It allows him to activate a Spell Card from his hand. He chooses "[[Ace of Sword]]", which he calls the Prince's destiny. It floats above his head, spinning. He tells Ojin to stop the card's rotation. He does so, and it stops upright. That effect will inflict damage to Ojin equal to that of one monster Ojin controls. He claims the Prince's power is now his.
[[File:OjinSoracase.jpg|200px|thumb|right|[[Prince Ojin|Ojin]] decides to entrust the [[SORA (satellite)|SORA]] control switch to [[Sartorius]].]]
Sartorius selects "Satellite Cannon", so it inflicts 4000 damage to Ojin, firing a beam from the sky. Jaden asks if that was a One Turn Kill. Bastion says no - Sartorius never had a turn, so it's actually a [[Zero Turn Kill]]. Jaden is impressed, even complimenting Sartorius. Sartorius asks how Ojin is feeling, who responds that Sartorius attained victory before Ojin's turn was finished. Ojin attempts to grab the briefcase that is handcuffed to Linda, who tells him to stop - it's the control switch for SORA. The future of the Earth itself is at risk. Ojin unlocks the handcuffs with his key and declares that the future of the world is in the hands of Satorius now. He hands the briefcase to him and Sartorius bows. Jaden wonders what kind of Duels are in store for the rest of the tournament.
