Team 5D's, and their friends all survive the fall, but get separated into three groups: Yusei with Bruno, Crow with Akiza, and Jack with Leo and Luna. The narrow platforms on which they land on are revealed to be routes leading to the three planetary gears powering the main Ener-D generator, and eventually leading to the Center Gear, which was what they are looking for. Vizor tells them that if they don't reach all 3 gears, then they wouldn't be able to reach the Center Gear, and the Ener-D generator of the Ark Cradle would continue to produce negative energy, which would result in the destruction of New Domino City.

Yusei et ses amis arrivent dans la Citadelle de la Peur, mais sont très vite séparés en trois groupes, selon les plans de Z-one. Chaque groupe s'aventure dans les trois différents Engrenages Planétaires au centre de la structure. Cependant, Sherry barre la route de Crow et Akiza. Elle ne les laissera passer que s'ils gagnent contre elle. Elle utilise alors la carte "École de Zone" pour se "diviser" en deux afin de les affronter séparément.
