Although the first day of the U20's second stage ends, Chrono challenges Onimaru to a cardfight. During the battle, Chrono exposes Onimaru as being possessed by a unit from Cray: Stealth Dragon, Shiranui. He asks about Onimaru's motives, and he responds it is to be liberated from destiny. As he puts it, Vanguard is what connects the planets Earth and Cray, and the fights that occur on Earth affect Cray, which Onimaru cannot tolerate anymore. Not wanting his future to be decided by a greater power, Onimaru's goal is to sever the bond between Earth and Cray by destroying Vanguard. Onimaru defeats Chrono and takes his leave.
