MaiI 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!
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.
Mai
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!
[spots at Weevil and Rex outside] It's a regalia party, What are you two guys doing here?
Yeah! The same one we were trapped in!
Mai
I sacrifice my two Harpies! That allows me to summon Harpie's Pet Dragon! And thanks to the Seal of Orichalcos, it gets 500 more points! Plus, it gets another 300 points for every Harpie I have on the field!
Mai
It's been nice knowing ya, Wheeler!
[Joey picked his own trap card in the middle, canceling Mai's attack]
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!
Mai
For now, maybe.
That's cool. At least Joey bought himself a little time.
Yes, but it did come with a price, Téa.
Mai
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!
Mai
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!
Mai
[angrily] What were you thinking?! I was just about to finish off Wheeler, and then you had butt in and ruin everything!
You're a real piece a work. He saved your soul, and this is how you repay him?
Mai
Who asked to be saved?! Maybe next time, He'll learn to butt out!
Next time... We'll just let you lose.
That's enough, mate, I'm fine!
Mai
Yeah, Clam up, or you'll end up just like your friend here.
[stands up] You have no idea the danger you were in.
Mai
Huh?
Do you remember that Hermos card Wheeler played? It's an ancient dragon that can only be controlled by a chosen duelist.
Mai
Ha! Yeah, he was chosen all right! Chosen to have that scrawny butt of his kicked by a real duelist! Humph. [hops on Valon's motorcycle] Later, losers! [droves off]
Hey, wait! That's mine! [coughs]
Mai
[thinking] You won't escape me this time, Wheeler.
I can't let Mai get hurt. I gotta stop her.
Forget about her, Valon. Let's focus on the Pharaoh.
But Master Dartz said to wait.
Yeah, Well, Master Dartz doesn't always know what's best. I should take the strongest soul first. Once I get him out of the way, The others will fall right into my hands, one by one.
But how do you know the Pharaoh will duel?
Because my plan is already in place. It's only a matter of time.
[Inside Paradius headquarters Mai at the meeting room with Dartz, Valon, Rafael, and Alister after Joey defeats Rex Raptor at the middle of nowhere on the railway line]
Mai Valentine
Just leave Joey Wheeler to me.
You'll do nothing until Master Dartz gives you an assignment.
Mai
What is this, Third grade? I decide who I'm gonna duel for myself. I don't wait for the homework assignment.
Why don't you show a little respect?
Come on, Raf, as if little miss loud mouth knows respect?
Mai
What did you call me?
Mai
Look, I was doing perfectly fine until Johnny stuntman over there stepped in. If it wasn't for you, I would a won. As for you, I don't need some scrawny freak dictating my every move! [turns back around toward the door Dartz watches] I'm out of here, losers! [opens the door] Humph! [walks off alone]
She can try to run away from fate, But in the end she'll get what she deserves.
[driving] Should we have left so soon?
Of course. Time is running out. We have to catch up with the others now. [inside the caravan, Arthur was asleep] Besides, Gramps can get just as much rest on the road. Plus, we can't translate those ancient ruins without his help, Duke.
Huh? [spots at Valon with Mai Valentine] Hey Rebecca, look, It's Mai Valentine. But what's she doing here? Wait a sec! That guy... [Flashes back to Joey and Mai's first duel, Duke saw Valon next to Rafael watching Mai against Joey] I recognize him. He's one of those biker punks that brainwashed Mai. [cuts back to the present] He works for Dartz.
[gasp] Stop the car, Duke!
Rebecca! Hold on! We’re dealing with a lunatic here!
Alright, Tell me what you did with Yugi?! You guys had no right to take him!
Sorry, kid, Never heard of him.
Well, maybe this’ll refresh your memory! I win, You talk! [Puts on her KC mass production duel disk rises and activates] Let’s duel!
No, Rebecca! It’s too dangerous!
[puts her deck on the duel disk] I’ll be fine. I’ve dueled tougher opponents than this. So what are you say, punk? Do we have a deal or not?
You can’t be serious, kid.
Mai
Here’s your big chance. Why don’t you show me your stuff.
Let’s go. I don’t have all day.
Well, why not? She could use a lesson in manners and I got five minutes to kill. Plus I can sho off a few of my new dueling strategies. Alright. You talked me into it, mate. Let’s have a go.
Hold on! [activates his KC mass production duel disk] If you dueling her then you'll dueling me too, tough guy! [puts his deck on the duel disk]
Peachy. Then I’ll take both of you blokes on. Ha. [activates his chaos duel disk] Pay attention, Mai. This is for you.
Remember, Rebecca, don’t let him play the seal of Orichalcos.
VDValon, Duke and Rebecca
Let’s duel!
[Valon defeats Rebecca Hawkins and Duke Devlin in their duel.]
Fine, You won. Now leave us alone.
Very well then, I gotta message for Joey Wheeler, tell that punk he's next. [laughing, then spots at Mai hops on her motorcycle] Where are you going, Mai?
Mai
I told you, I worked alone! [droves off]
[Meanwhile Tristan was running a middle of the streets looking for Joey.]
Joey! Where are you?! [Mai’s motorcycle light appears towards him] Is that you Joey?
Mai Valentine
[takes her bike helmet off, mad] Not quite but I am looking for him.
Mai
[demanded] Save it, Dweeb! I know you’re his babysitter so where is he?!
[angrily] How should I know?! One of your little pals forced him into a game of Cat and Mouse. And now he's gone!
Mai
[gasps in horror] It’s Valon!
This is all your fault, Mai! [Mai puts her helmet on] You’re the one who got Joey into this mess in the first place!
Mai
Out of my way! [drove off]
[angrily] Hey! GET BACK HERE! The last thing he needs right now is you! [Mai ignores him and he growls angrily]
[When Mai showed up and found Valon in the duel with Joey]
Hey, Mai! You're just in time to catch the end of the greatest duel ever played.
Mai
[takes off her helmet] You and I had a deal, remember!? Joey Wheeler's mine! [Orichalcos blocks her] Ah!
Mai
Look, you've done enough, so why don't you take a hike and let me finish this!?
Mai
[?] Huh?
I'm having way too much fun out here to stop now. Plus this duel is no place for you.
Mai
Why's that?
There's too much at stake. I won't let you risk losing everything you have. That's why I challenged Joey Wheeler in the first place to protect you. I wanted to get rid of him so you'd be able to move on with your life, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
[to Mai] Guess what, Mai. I'm fighting for same reason.
Then let's get on with it! Shall we? I can't wait to see what you play next.
You're gonna have to wait, Valon, 'cause I play one card face down and end my turn.
[Joey and Valon were engaged in an armored standoff in the middle of the Oricalchos field]
It's time to activate Big Bang Dragon Blow's special effect! [Joey tributes Red-Eyes Black Dragon to make Big Bang Dragon Blow supercharged] By sacrificing my Red-Eyes, I made my armored fist even more powerful! Now it's able to destroy all your monsters and subtract their strength from your Life Points! [Big Bang Dragon Blow builds up pressure against Valon and Joey sends Valon flying away from the center and destroying his Armor monsters]
[skids to a halt]You did it. You won. [panting and making his Life Points drop to 0] Congratulations. [?] Goodbye.
Mai
[gasps in horrified] It's my fault.
Don't be silly, Mai. I caused my own downfall. I thought if I won I could make you forget about Joey Wheeler. [?] But now I understand why he meant so much to you. The guy's got heart.
Mai
Valon, wait.
[to Joey] Hey Joey, It's up to you now, Saved Mai. [?]
Mai
Valon!
[Mai holds Valon's lifeless body, her eyes full of tears]
Mai
Valon. Come back... Valon.
It's too late. The Orichalcos has him now. [Mai remembers to flashbacks to what Valon said flashback ends] Hey, Mai... We'll get him back.
Mai
How could he do this? Valon's the one who told me you have to duel for yourself. Then he turns around and fights you to protect me? How pathetic. Hmm. He deserved this.
What? Look, Mai, Valon realized what he told you was wrong. He found out what dueling is really about determination and heart.
Mai
Hmm.
He fought like a true duelist today.
Mai
I thought you wanted to destroy him.
Hold on, Mai, Valon may have annoyed me... but no one deserves to have their soul taken away and then held captive by some power-hungry psychopath! I don't care who they are!
Mai
Ha.
You know what, Mai... I realize something now.
Mai
Huh?
As long as that Orichalcos thing has control over your mind, I'll never be able to talk any sense into you! As a matter of fact, the only way I can save you at this point is to duel you! So, what do you say!?
Mai
I see. So you beat this loser and now it's gone to your head?
Mai
Why else would you be dumb enough to challenge me a duel? You should have learned your lesson from our last match.
The only way I can get through to you… is by dueling you!
Mai
If you say so. [activates her chaos duel disk]
MJMai and Joey
Let's duel! [their life points to 4000]
Mai
Finally, you're giving me a real challenge… but you're gonna have to do better than that! 'Cause before my Aero Nail goes to the graveyard, it's transferring its power to my other Harpie!
Fine! I place one card facedown! Give me your best shot!
Mai
You're pretty confident for someone who's about to lose! Now, stand back! My move! I drew it.
Mai
Yup! The Seal of Orichalcos!
