Blue-Eyes White Dragon & Priest Seto's Sacrifice

 * The episode starts with a scene from inside the Millennium Puzzle: Shadi is holding the Millennium Key and the walls are shaking, with patches of light appearing in place of the stairs.
 * Shadi: "The labyrinth in the Pharaoh's mind is disappearing! He must be regaining his memories! However if the Dark One is not soon defeated, all will be lost..."


 * Meanwhile, Zorc is savoring his victory over the Pharaoh's Egyptian Gods...
 * Zorc Necrophades: "The Egyptian Gods have fallen! You see Pharaoh? Even you so-called deities of domination were forced to surrender when confronted with the power of the Shadow Realm. A world I created centuries ago, a world that has now converged in with your own. For when your people fashioned the Millennium Items you opened a doorway to the darkness, and now the human world as you know it shall crumble!"


 * With the Pharaoh too weak to fight, the Egyptian troops have lost hope. They flee in disarray, despite Priest Seto's orders to remain and fight. Zorc starts blasting fireballs at the city.
 * Priest Seto orders Mana to bring the Pharaoh back to the palace, and then charges Zorc himself! He Summons "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"!
 * With one attack by Blue-Eyes, Zorc falls to the ground and the darkness is lifted! The Moon moves away from the Sun and the solar eclipse ends. The sunlight now gives "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" more power!
 * With one swift "underground" attack however, Zorc grabs Blue-Eyes by the neck and destroys it (turning into stone like the Egyptian Gods).
 * The moon returns to block the Sun.
 * The darkness spreads to Priest Seto and he loses the last of his life energy.

Enter Seto Kaiba and "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon"

 * With no one left to oppose him, Zorc starts wreaking havoc and destruction onto the Egyptian capital.
 * Seto Kaiba decides it is time to step off from the sidelines and get into the action too. He steps into Zorc's way and with the power of will creates a... Duel Disk around his arm.
 * Kaiba Summons "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"
 * Zorc Necrophades: (to Kaiba) "Your Egyptian counterpart already tried this and failed! What makes you think YOUR fate will be any different?"
 * Seto Kaiba: "Listen Zorc, I've been smacking around vritual monsters like you ever since I could talk. As a matter of fact my first words were 'Neutron Blast Attack'"
 * Zorc Necrophades: "You should have stayed in your own world. Your taunt and holograms are useless here!"
 * Seto Kaiba: "You may have been able to handle ONE Blue-Eyes, but let's see how you stand up to THREE, in the form of "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon""


 * Kaiba Summons two more Blue-Eyes and fuses his monsters together to form "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". He then attacks Zorc with Neutron Blast Attack. Zorc is knocked back.
 * Zorc begins his counter-attack just as "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" prepares for another attack. The two energy blasts are so powerful and of equal strength they are deflected upwards, creating a rift between dimensions.

Yugi's Power of Will

 * Meanwhile back inside the Pharaoh's tomb, Yugi hast just won his Duel vs. Yami Bakura: Tristan's body is released. The tomb however begins to collapse.
 * Yugi & his friends manage to find a way out. However no sooner are they outside that they are attacked by Thief King Bakura's dark riders.
 * Tristan surprises everyone by... charging the riders! He knocks one down from his horse.
 * Joey runs forth to help his friend, but a rider swings his scimitar and is about to hit Joey! Just as the blade swings down it makes a metallic sound and the rider is disarmed!! A Duel Disk just appeared on Joey's arm deflecting the blade!!
 * Joey Wheeler: "Where did THAT come from?"
 * Yugi Muto: "I get it! In this world if we concentrate hard enough our thoughts can become real!"


 * With that, Tristan "creates" a Duel Disk for himself too, Summoning "Lava Battleguard" and "Swamp Battleguard".
 * Joey Summons "Gearfried the Iron Knight" and "Flame Swordsman".
 * (NOTE: at this point in the episode, for some weird reason the monsters Summoned by Joey & Tristan disappear as if a scene was skipped, and Yugi & his friends are then surrounded by 4 Dark Riders)


 * Concentrating hard enough Yugi & his friends fly off the ground, away and towards the Pharaoh.

Enter "Master of Dragon Soldier"

 * Meanwhile, Mokuba Kaiba has made the trip to Egypt in search for his brother. While trying to raise him on the radio inside the plane cockpit, he sees a vision in the sky: it's Kaiba battling against Zorc!! But it turns out the vision is actually a "hole" between dimensions, and just like Mokuba can see inside the Shadow RPG game Zorc and Kaiba can see the outside world!!!
 * Seto Kaiba: "What in the world is THAT?"
 * Zorc Necrophades: "The ultimate collision between light and shadows has created a bridge between our realms. Now I have a NEW world to conquer... the world of the FUTURE! Now bow before your new lord and master!"


 * Meanwhile at the Royal Palace, Mana is chanting a spell (As we approach our final hour, please restore the Pharaoh's power) to heal the Pharaoh.
 * The Pharaoh realizes what is going on: only one person is able to Summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", and that is Seto Kaiba! In addition, the hole in the sky is some sort of "Portal".
 * The Pharaoh takes the Millennium Scale from Mana's bag and begs Karim's spirit to lend him his power. With that, his Millennium Puzzle, Millennium Scale, and DiaDhank start to glow... could the Pharaoh be preparing a... Fusion?
 * Just then, the Pharaoh litterally jumps off the balcony of his palace and "glides" towards "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". He scream to Kaiba "KAIBA!! I know you know what to do!!!"
 * Kaiba seems to react: he concentrates harder and a beam of light emanates from him.
 * Kaiba, the Pharaoh, and "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" fuse all together to form "Master of Dragon Soldier" (aka "Dragon Master Knight"). It immediately attacks using Dragon Saber Blast.
 * The blast is so great that its light radiates through space, literally also destroying "Master of Dragon Soldier" itself. the Pharaoh and Kaiba "de-fuse" from the beast, however Kaiba is nowhere to be seen and Zorc still stands!!!!

Enter Shadi/Hassan

 * Back inside the Millennium Puzzle (the inverted pyramid on the Shadow RPG board, sticking out of the sky), Shadi decides to take action.
 * Shadi: "The time has finally arrived. Pharaoh, I have waited my entire life for this: I know what must be done!"


 * Shadi wields the Millennium Key and Millennium Scale and transfers his spirit inside Hassan, reviving him.
 * Zorc Necrophades: (to the Pharaoh) "We now stand face to face for the last time. The light of hope against the Lord of Darkness, and just as it has since the dawn of time darkness shall prevail. That is the inevitable cycle of existence. You see Pharaoh, the universe itself was born without light: all that existed was a vast wasteland of shadows. And though fleeting moments ago during which light attempts to illuminate this darkness, in the end it is always extinguished. And the same goes for you! You are a mere flicker whose faint glow has expired!"
 * Pharaoh "''You're wrong! There is no darkness without light. It is light that gave life to this world Zorc, it is light that gives us hope, and it is light that shall defeat you!

Zorc Necrophades: "Then let us put your theory to the test!!"
 * Zorc attacks the Pharaoh, but Hassan steps into the way one more time. His golden mask breaks under the pressure and Shadi's face is revealed.
 * Pharaoh "It's YOU! Shadi!!"
 * Shadi: "You must never surrender to the darkness! The light of hope will soon arrive bearing the information that you need!"


 * And with that, Hassan/Shadi succumbs to Zorc's attack. Yugi & his friends will soon be here however.

Yugi Muto's Turn

 * Yugi just Summoned "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" and activated its special ability: it destroys all monsters on the field including itself (NOTE: in the real game, "Gandora the Dragon of Destruction" has a slightly different ability).
 * Since a was destroyed and sent to Yugi's Graveyard, "Silent Swordsman LV7" (4500 ATK / 1000 DEF) is released from "Spirit Sword of Sealing".
 * Yugi uses "Silent Swordsman LV7" to attack Bakura directly (Bakura: 200 → 0 Life Points). Yugi wins.
