=="''Burst Stream of Destruction''"==
* The [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] just entered the battle and Summoned "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Giant God Soldier of Obelisk the Tormentor]]". However its attack is repelled by "[[Diabound|Diabound]]'s]]" "'''''[[Burst Stream of Destruction]]'''''" ending the clash between the two monsters in a draw. They both return to the Pharaoh and [[Thief King Bakura]]'s respective [[DiaDhank]]s.
* At this point, Bakura climbs back on his horse and escapes the palace.
* Leaning over his palace's balcony to witness Bakura's escape, the Pharaoh notices an inverted pyramid sticking out of the sky. He is the only one who can see it however, and wonders if it has any relation with Bakura's ''Ultimate Dark Game''.
* Pondering about his past on the balcony of his Royal palace, the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] is warned by [[Mahad]] it would not be wise to remain so exposed, especially after that day's events. They both retreat to the insides of the palace.
** They are "intercepted" by '''[[Mana]]''' (who strikes a very close resemblance to "[[Dark Magician Girl]]") a childhood friend of Mahad & the Pharaoh. It's revealed she and the Pharaoh studied magic and military arts together, before he became the ruler of Egypt and they acted like siblings. [[Mana]] distractedly calls him 'Prince', something which [[Mahad]] scolds: he's already the Pharaoh. The [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] doesn't mind and is amused when [[Mahad]] makes a slip and also calls him 'prince', something which makes [[Mana]] giggle. [[Mahad]] questions ''how'' she got there, taking into account the heavy vigilance: she confesses that she has been improving her magical arts and managed to accomplish what's named a ''immobilization spell''. [[Mahad]] orders her to cancel it, but she cannot remember the formula even while looking it up on her magical arts book (looking reminiscent of her present-day incarnation), so he does it instead.
* Meanwhile from a distance, [[Thief King Bakura]] is thinking about how to get a hold of the [[Millennium Items]]. Doing it at once is impossible, so he decides to settle on one and then go for the rest at a leisurely pace. He vows to get ahold of [[Mahad]]'s [[Millennium Ring]] first, for which he has a particular affection (understandably, as it was the property of present-day [[Ryou Ryo Bakura]]).
==Mahad's True Power: A Dark Future Lies Ahead...==
** [[Isis]] tries to use her [[Millennium Necklace]] to foresee the future again. This time it shows glimpses of what's yet to come, including a tragedy awaiting [[Mahad]].
*** [[Mana]] wants to accompany her master, but [[Shimon Muran]] prevents her from leaving, saying it is too dangerous and she is only a student. Thinking to himself, he also reveals that once [[Mahad]]'s strength as a wizard was so great he had to seal part of it to prevent harm from being done. If he were to '''unleash his true power''', he would be more powerful than any of the [[The Sacred Guardians|Sacred Guardians]] Priests in the Pharaoh's court and the most powerful magician in the whole world.
*** As he is leaving, [[Mahad]] is confronted by [[Isis]] who tells him of her doubts concerning his future. Mahad tells her not to worry and that he would prefer not to know what she saw. As he departs, Isis does tell him however that in her vision, "''Despite everything... In the end, the one who wins is you.''".
* As he leaves the city we share a vision of [[Mahad]]'s childhood, and how he once saved the Pharaoh's life by getting bit by a poisonous snake instead of him. The Pharaoh then sucked the poison out of Mahad's wound. The Pharaoh (then Prince) claimed that he could not understand the class system. Don't they all have the same blood and flesh? He announces that he wants to create a kingdom in which the class system doesn't exist (similar to the current society). Mahad is now determined to defeat Bakura to ensure that the Pharaoh's dream can become a reality.
** [[Thief King Bakura]] enters the Sanctuary, and is separated from his faithful servants. He confronts [[Mahad]] alone.
