It's exactly as I feared. The Orichalcos controls her! This duel must end.
[worried] Otherwise, she's gonna do the same thing to Joey that she did to Pegasus!
What are you waiting for, Wheeler?
I'm waiting for you to come to your senses!
She's lost it. How can she side with the enemy?!
It's all because of that Orichalcos thing!
Now, one of them will lose their soul.
No, you can't do this! Don't you see you're letting that magic card control you, Mai! You're putting your own life in danger!
They can't go through with this! We've got to do something!
But the Puzzle is powerless against that seal.
Ey, Pharaoh! Quit mumblin' to yourself down there, will ya? In case you didn't realize this last time, nothing can break the Seal of Orichalcos! Once it appears, it doesn't disappear until a soul's been captured!
And don't think you're off the hook, Pharaoh. As soon as the girl takes your friend's soul, and I'm takin' yours.
Get back in your cage, gorilla boy! When I'm done with Wheeler… Yugi belongs to me!
But why?
She's nuts!
I never liked her. No respect. Any more lip from Mai and she's next.
Aw, give the girl a break, will ya? She's still new at all this, mate. Plus, she's kinda cute when she gets mad, don't ya think?
Uh, no.
When are you gonna make your move, hotshot? This year would be nice.
What did I say?! I'm not gonna duel against you, Mai!
Afraid you're not good enough? Afraid you're gonna lose like you did in Battle City? I shoulda known you'd back down!
Actually, I'm afraid I'm gonna win. 'Cause if I do… You're gonna pay for it by givin' up your soul!
I have no soul!
[shocked by what she said] You hear that?!
[Valon whistles]
I told you, the Mai you knew is gone! I traded in her soul for power! The old Mai was too lonely and pathetic. The girl was just holding me back. So I did what I had to! I sent her packing! Now, my weak side's gone for good!
Well, I happen to have liked the old Mai and I'm gonna get her back!
I'd like to see you try!
[Joey activated his duel disk]
He's gonna go through with this?!
Be careful, Joey!
I summon Panther Warrior in attack mode! Now, I sacrifice one scapegoat so my panther can attack!
I reveal my facedown card! Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation!
What?!
My Harpie Ladies have all joined forces to repel your attack!
Mai didn't have that card back in Battle City.
You're right.
It seems as though she's gone through more than a few changes since the last time we saw her-- including a stronger deck!
Look, Mai... I don't know what kind of spell these guys put on ya but you gotta wake up! Otherwise we're both gonna be in pretty big trouble!
What spell!? No one's controlling me! [looks up on Valon and Rafael] Those two lackeys up there couldn't control my left pinky. I was sick of my life... So I chose to change it!
[Téa, Tristan and the Pharaoh gasps and horrifying]
[shocked] No way!
How could you!?
You guys wouldn't understand. You've never been an outsider like me... All alone. Duel monsters is all I have. And after the Battle City tournament, I set out to become the best. I duel against chump after chump to improve my dueling skills. I needed to make a name for myself.
I stopped whining like a loser and started taking control! Now nothing can stop me!
I never knew you felt that way. Why didn't you tell us you were so unhappy? We could've helped you, Mai!
SAVE IT! I don't need your kind of help! All I need now is power! And I'm about to unleash all of it on you! [draws] I play Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation! Since I have six Harpies on the field, it lets me destroy up to six of your monsters!
Hold on! Joey's only got three left!
That means once Mai's Harpie Ladies attack, he'll be defenseless!
That's not all. Mai's magic card will also subtract the sum of Joey's monsters' attack points from his Life Points.
Now, Harpie Ladies… unite and destroy every one of his monsters! Say goodbye to your three monsters, Wheeler! Someone is one attack away from losing their soul and I don't think it's me, sweetheart. Any last requests?
Mai's got 4000 points! She hasn't even lost one! And Joey's down to his last 200! Not to mention the fact that he's out of monsters!
If he doesn't think of something right now, he's gonna lose the duel!
[Joey picked his own trap card in the middle, canceling Mai's attack]
YEAH! Bingo, baby!
I knew he could do it!
You go!
Now that's luck.
Yeah, next time I play Bingo, I'm bringin' him!
Well, there goes your theory.
Looks like your last attack didn't work. So I'm still in the game!
For now, maybe.
That's cool. At least Joey bought himself a little time.
Yes, but it did come with a price, Téa.
Impressive. But your little maneuver helped me out, too.
Yeah, I know. Now you get to put the two cards you picked at the top of your deck.
Oh, no! Now she can use those two cards again!
Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation and Harpie Sparrow Formation. Those are two of Mai's most powerful cards!
You may have stopped my attack but my turn's not over. Next, I'll move one of my Harpie Ladies to my rear defense. And then, I'll place two cards facedown and end my turn.
[thinking] I've got one more shot to do this, but I'm all out of ideas!
Joey, are you alright. Joey!
[shocked] Oh man.
Why did he do that?
What were you thinking, Valon? You betrayed Master Dartz and risked your own soul! And you mean to tell me you did all that so you just saved some girl, Valon.
She's not just some girl, Rafael!
Would you listen to yourself, Valon!? [growls] I'll make up for this… By taken your soul, Pharaoh. The power around my neck puts your Puzzle to shame.
Hey, look! We're not locked in anymore.
Yeah, but where did those two creeps go?
Joey!
You're okay, man!
Joey!
Don't give up on us now.
Joey.
Where's Mai? Did those punks take her?
I guess so.
Yeah. She's gone.
[gasps] Oh no, I was so close. [groans] I'LL GET YOU BACK, MAI!
It's not your fault, Joey.
She's gone, I failed.
[wakes up in the middle of the night to see Rebecca waiting] Can't sleep either, huh? [looks around] Huh? Hey, where's Yuge?
Uh, um, uh... I promised I wouldn't tell.
[a little later, when everyone's awake] Rebecca! How could you let him just leave like that?
[calmly] Take it easy, Joey. It's not her fault. You guys would've done the same thing.
No, we would've talked some sense into him, Téa!
[starts to leave] I'm comin', Yuge!
Joey! Get back here! [Joey stops] Hey man, what’s up?
Look!
[Professor Arthur Hawkins walking towards mobile home]
Professor Hawkins!
My Grandpa!
[helps Professor Arthur Hawkins up] Professor, are you alright?
Grandpa! [hugs her grandfather]
Rebecca, Where's Yugi? [Rebecca gasps]
How'd it go? Is everything OK?
Not quite. We got a problem guys.
What do you mean?
Yugi didn't win.
He's gone.
[shocked] Wha-
You heard me. Yugi got beat, Tea!
You're wrong! If Yugi really lost that duel, those creeps would have taken his soul with their freaky magic card, Tristan!
So what's your point, Tea?
My point!? If he's lost how can he be standing right... [gasps and turns around looks at Yami Yugi] behind me? Oh no.
Yugi, talk to me. What's wrong!? Why are you acting so strange!?
Rebecca, they got him.
Got who?
Yugi. [Flashes back to their last duel as the Seal took Yugi instead.] I know. This whole thing's my fault. I'm the one who unleashed the magic that took Yugi away.
You knew that card was evil and you still played it!? If you really were a brave pharaoh, you would never have done something like that to poor, little Yugi! [crying] This just isn't fair! How could you?! I want my Yugi back! It should have been you, not him!
[calmly] Now hold on.
[cries] Oh, Téa! [sobbing]
I'm afraid Rebecca's right.
[confused] Huh?
What's done is done.
I let everyone down. Especially Yugi. He warned me not to play the Seal of Oricalcos card, but my rage took control. [Flashes back to their first duel, the Pharaoh activated The Seal of Oricalcos card.] He paid for my mistake.
You got to snap outta this!
He's gone, and it's all my fault.
Get a grip, man! [Joey punches Yami Yugi to snap out of his guilt.]
Joey!
If we're gonna rescue Yugi, we gotta move ahead, not look back, so pull yourself together! What we gotta do now is find out who this Dartz guy is and where he keeps all these souls!
I've been suggesting we do that since day one, but nobody listens to me.
Stop thinking about yourself for once, Duke!
Down, boy. Heel!
Let him go, Tristan!
[lets go of Duke] Huh?
This happened because I couldn't control my anger, and if we keep fighting amongst ourselves, the Orichalcos will destroy us.
[at the train station]
How this train ride anyway?
Too long.
[sighs] Any chance you wanna go instead of me, Duke?
No can do, Téa. I gotta stick with Professor Hawkins in case those biker punks come back.
Duke's right. Plus he's gonna keep an eye on Rebecca too.
[Yami Yugi feels truly sees that Rebecca wants to help him save Yugi Flashback to Rebecca and Professor Arthur Hawkins see he and his friends leaving]
I wanna go too! They need a brain like mine to figure out how to save Yugi! Please!?
It's too dangerous. And the Pharaoh has enough on his mind already.
Huh?
The last thing he needs is the responsibility of looking after you. His closest friend in the world's been taken from him.
[cries ran back to the caravan] You don't understand anything, Grandpa!
Rebecca, wait! It's for your own good!
[the flashback ends Téa looks worried]
You better get on the train before you miss your ride.
We got plenty of time.
No, we don’t.
Like I said "All Aboard!"
Take care, Duke.
[Joey, Tristan, Yami and Téa are onboard the train carriages as the train horns blares and the train departed from the station as Duke waves to them.]
[waving laughter] Smell ya later, Devlin!
Hey let’s hit the diving car.
Now you’re taking my language.
Come on, you gotta cheer up. I promise we'll get Yugi back. But in the meantime, you can't just sit around moping. It might feel better to talk about it. We can even come up with a plan together.
[sighs, gets up the seat] Sorry, Téa. [walks off alone]
Poor guy. [watches Yami Yugi walked off alone as he opened the door and closes]
Just let him go, Téa.
Huh?
I think he needs to be alone for a while you know?
He's already alone.
Huh?
Isn't that the whole problem? He’s crushed. But he’ll be alright soon enough. ‘Cause we’re going to rescue Yugi, right guys?
[smiling agreed] There’s no doubt.
[Back on the train]
[Checking the now empty train] Anyone in there, Joey?
Not a soul.
Do ya have to say "soul"?
[Checks another compartment] It's a complete ghost town here!
Don't say "ghost" either.
[As the train fast when door opens Yami Yugi walks arrives]
There you are.
Huh?
'Case you haven't noticed, Something weird's going on.
If you asked me. I'd say this whole train ride is another trap.
[gasp]
I'm sure those same slime balls are behind this. and I bet they're onboard.
Well what are we standing here for? Let's get 'em!
[?]
Mr. Conductor!? [cut to empty cab front of train] Anyone there!? Hello!? [sighs] uh-uh. [?] Yugi! What are you doing!?
I've got to get in there! So I can stop this train!
But how?!
I have an idea, There may be an emergency hatch on the roof!
Be careful!
[?]
[sees Weevil appears on top of this train with his chaos duel disk on] Weevil Underwood! Are you behind this!? You'd better start explaining yourself!
Weevil?! What are you what with us, worm boy!
What are you think I what? A rematched with the king of games!
Are you nuts!?
I'm just in the mood for a friendly duel.
Weevil, Who put you up to this?
No one did. I figured this was a good time to test out my new secret weapon, that's all.
Is that magic rock the professor told us about it! Where did you find that thing, Raptor!?
I knew it! He's working for them!
[back on the train]
You've been brainwashed, Weevil!
Wake up! Those guys are just using you!
Who cares! as long as I have ultimate power!
You're wrong!
Then just duel me!
Wait a minute!
Huh? Téa, no! It's too dangerous!
Weevil! Don't you realize that if you go through with this duel, one of you guys is gonna lose your soul forever!?
Téa.
Of course I do, Téa. That's the whole reason I'm here! To make him pay by sealing him away!
[shocked] Oh!
[shocked] Oh no!
Don't worry. Soon you'll be locked away with your friend Yugi, Pharaoh! [laughing]
Where is he!? Tell me!
I'm afraid the only way to find out is to duel me. so if you back down now, then you'll never see that little twerp again!
Very well! Then let's duel!
[laughing] Wise choice, Pharaoh! [activates his chaos duel disk]
[activates his chaos duel disk] I'm gonna enjoy this!
Tell me where Yugi is!
Pharaoh... It's no use. You won. So the Seal of Oricalchos took Weevil away. [Yami Yugi looking at his hands] Pharaoh?
[As the train going too faster it brakes screeching sound it derailed as Yami Yugi and Téa screaming hold on the train towards the ravine below and it falls off]
No! I need him alive!
[offscreen] Whoa. Are you alright?
[offscreen] Bearly.
[Up top of the cliff a mysterious Ironheart looks down below.]
