It was a dark and stormy night at Duel Academy. Lightning and thunder struck loud and hard. In the infirmary, Alexis was watching over her brother, Atticus.

Alexis: 'There are only two Shadow Riders left. I know that this battle will end soon. And yet, brother, when will you call my name again?

Alexis remembered back when her and her brother were kids and used to play Duel Monsters a-lot. The memory brought her comfort.

???: Do you wish to get your brother's memories back? A mysterious voice said

Alexis: Who said that? Alexis turned and saw a mass of darkness.

???: If you want them back, then come find me. The mass said. Alexis stood up surprised and then, her eyes lost all light, they looked vacant as if she in a trance.

In the dark mass, an image of the old school building was shown. Suddenly, the self proclaimed Shadow Duelist, Titan appeared and dragged Alexis in the darkness.

Atticus: !! Atticus suddenly woke up in shock and tried to stop Titan. He was panicking after they disappeared into thin air.

At the Slifer dorm, Jaden was sleepy soundly. Though his snoring spoke otherwise.

Winged Kuriboh: Kuri! Jaden's partner cried.

Jaden: What's up, buddy? He woke and heard someone at the knocking at the door frantically. Deciding to see who it is, Chumley goes to the door and opens. But when he did, he was met with a frightening looking Chazz. Ahh!

Syris: Hey, what's wrong?

Chazz: These freaks are pretty restless tonight. Chazz said referring to the Ojamas.

Jaden: What?

After getting dressed, the Slifers run to the school, their duel spirit partners guiding the way. They were close to the infirmary and saw two people at the door. It was Zane and Crowler.

Haru: What are you two doing here?

Zane: Alexis never showed at the lighthouse.

Crowler: While normally I detest unscientific matters, I have a strange feeling. They all enter the infirmary, but gasp when they saw Atticus face flat on the floor.

Jaden: Atticus!?

Haru: What happened!?

Syrus: Is he okay?

Zane: What's going on? Where's Alexis?

Atticus: Ti..ta..n. Atticus said weakly. But that one word was all they needed.

Jaden: Titan?

Haru: Jaden, do you think he's talking about..

Jaden: Yeah, that Titan. Hearing that made Crowler flinch.

Crowler: Oh dear! Don't tell me he came back because I didn't pay him!!' Crowler thought greatly worried. 'What was I thinking not paying him on the spot!?'

At the abandoned dorm, the keep out sigh was knocked down. Inside, Alexis regained consciousness and found herself in the basement of the old dorm. Across from her, was the entity that kidnapped her, Titan.

Alexis: My brother's memories, tell me how to get them back! She demanded.

Titan: If you want to know so badly, you'll have to duel me. If you duel me and win, you might get your brothers lost memories. But, if I win, I shall take you back to the Shadow Realm along with your spirit key. In order to make you a Shadow Duelist, of course. Take this. Totan kicked over a duel disk. Are you prepared!? He said taking out his.
