==Re-organizing==
Meanwhile, Yami Yugi and Kaiba reunite with Mokuba, [[Duke]], [[Rebecca]] and [[Arthur Hawkins|Prof. Hawkins]], having learned about Paradius and Dartz's identity as the leader of [[Doma]]. Their first news is that Joey has already gone off to Paradius Inc and Honda tried to stop him.
The dangers are growing worse, but since Dartz already has the police in his power, Yami Yugi and the others are the only ones who can do anything about it.
Tristan runs after Joey, but he can't find him. Just then, [[Mai]] confronts him and demands to know where Joey is. He shoots back that Valon led him away. She just drives off, irritated that Valon got ahead of her.
==Surrounded==
Yami Yugi and the others drive towards Paradius Inc.' headquarters, although Kaiba doubts they will be allowed to get there easily. Just then, Duke hits the brakes, nearly crashing into an Orichalcos Soldier which has cornered Tristan. Yami Yugi defeats the Soldier, but when Tristan tells the others that Joey is fighting Valon, Duke and Rebecca know that he is in big trouble. But Kaiba notes that now isn't the time to worry about him -- the group is surrounded by a horde of Soldiers.
==Valon's Tactics==
He affirms that he won't lose to someone like Valon, and Valon invites him to go ahead and try if he really thinks he can beat him.
==Notes==
Due to parallel storylines as well as frequent and extensive flashbacks, this [[Duel]] extends over 4 Episodes.
<u>'''Turn 1: Joey'''</u><br />
Joey draws "[[Alligator's Sword (anime)|Alligator's Sword]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1200) in [[Attack Position]].
<u>'''Turn 2: Valon'''</u><br />
Valon draws "[[Psychic Armor Head (anime)|Psychic Armor Head]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (0/500) in [[Attack Position]]. He then [[Activate|activatesactivate]] s "[[Armored Gravitation]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Trap Buster]]" (0/0), "[[Big Bang Blow (anime)|Big Bang Blow]]" (0/0), "[[Over Boost (anime)|Over Boost]]" (0/1000) and "[[Active Guard (anime)|Active Guard]]" (0/2500) from his Deck in Attack Position. "[[Big Bang Blow]]" then attacks "[[Alligator's Sword]]". Due to the effect of "[[Active Guard]]", Valon takes no damage this turn. "Alligator's Sword" destroys "[[Big Bang Blow (anime)|Big Bang Blow]]".
Since "Big Bang Blow" was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard while Valon controlled at least two Armor Monsters, its effect activates, inflicting damage to all players equal to the total combined ATK of their respective monsters ([[Joey]] 4000 → 2500). After that happens, the effect of "Big Bang Blow" destroys all monsters on the field.
