==Summary==
In a flashback sequence at [[Duel Academy Queen'sDuel Academy]], [[Akiza Izinski (manga)|Akiza]] is sitting on a bench, hanging her head. She remembers her loss to [[Kalin Kessler (manga)|Kalin Kessler]], and thinks to [[Yusei Fudo (manga)|Yusei]] that she didn't get to fight [[Jack Atlas (manga)|Jack]]. [[Rex Goodwin (manga)|Goodwin]] approaches her, asking if she's frustrated by her loss. Akiza replies that of course she is. Goodwin replies that he sees, but defeat is a part of every contest. He asks her if she wishes only for her own victory, ignoring her opponent's sorrow, and Akiza protests that she doesn't. Goodwin reassures her that he isn't blaming her. It's something she knows well. In her previous life as a [[Duel Priestess]], she knew the agony of defeat better than anyone. Akiza repeats the statement in confusion, which Kalin Kessler had also mentioned. She stands up, asking what a Duel Priestess is. Goodwin simply holds out a [[blank card]] with the [[Mark of the Dragon (card)|Mark of the Dragon]] on it, telling Akiza that if she wants to know all there is to know, she'll take it. Take it, and she'll become a supreme being with power equal to Jack and the others. Akiza thinks that it will be the power to equal Jack and Yusei, and she reaches out for the card. As soon as she touches it, images of a dark-haired woman flash in her mind. Her hairpin falls out and she slumps into Goddwin's arms. Laughing, Goodwin comments that when Akiza awakens, the Duel Priestess will awaken.
Behind the [[Duel Gate]] on [[Saiko Island]] lies an altar, shaped like half a square pyramid with separate sections for the participants attached, and lit torches at the corners. Goodwin stands at one of these sections, clad in his armour, and the [[Skeleton Knight]] at the other end, mounted on his horse. With the sun high in the sky, Goodwin bows, welcoming the Skeleton Knight to the [[Festival of Duality]] - or should he say, his elder brother, Roman Goodwin. The Skelton Knight, scoffs, after he planned it himself, Rex has some nerve. Goodwin doesn't answer, and the Knight warns him that he won't let him claim that he's forgotten what he did at the Festival of Duality 5000 years ago.
