=Major Events=*Joey brings out [[The Claw of Hermos]], which Valon welcomes, claiming that defeating this opponent will give him the perfect victory. Even when the resulting combo blasts him off his feet, his armor's effect allows him to survive.**Valon uses Hermos' power against Joey in the very next turn, destroying the dragon's combo and pummeling the unprotected Joey so badly that he collapses. But to Valon's shock, Joey staggers back to his feet, declaring that the will in him won't be stopped so easily.*Joey comes back by activating a card that gives him his own suit of armor, bearing the condition that if it is destroyed, he will lose automatically. Valon finds this interesting, as it is now a duel to be the last one standing.*Mai arrives at the scene and demands that Valon allow her to have this duel. He refuses, but not only because he doesn't want her to endanger herself. Instead, he's noticing just how devoted Joey is to this cause. Even his own confidence is shaking with opposition like this, but by the same token, he becomes determined to give his all to his own defense of her.
