==Summary==
==="Dark Magician Girl" & The Sacred Guardians to the Rescue!===
* "[[Diabound]]" was just about to destroy "[[Dark Magician]]"/[[Mahad]], when '''"[[Dark Magician Girl]]"''' appeared out of nowhere and brought him to safety.
* Meanwhile, [[Priest Seto]], [[Shimon Muran]], [[Karim]], and [[Isis]] have finally arrived to provide assistance. Seto is immediately attacked by Kul Elna spirits, but [[Shada]]'s "[[Two-Headed Jackal Warrior]]" protects him.
** As [[Shada]] continues to hold back the spirits, [[Priest Seto]] & the others go to the underground shrine to help the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]].
* Back inside the shrine, "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" combine forces to attack Bakura's "[[Diabound]]", but still without any success: the spirits of Kul Elna are not only protecting "Diabound", they are increasing its strength!
** Exploiting this power boost, "Diabound" multiplies into... three! This time "[[Dark Magician]]" & "[[Dark Magician Girl]]" succeed at eliminating the duplicates, but not before the original unleashes its ''Spiral Surge'' attack on "[[Dark Magician]]"/[[Mahad]]. It gets knocked back to the wall, causing the Pharaoh to lose part of his life energy.
*** Relentless, "[[Diabound]]" attacks again. This time however, [[Mana]] activates a Spell similar to "[[Magical Hats]]", concealing herself & the Pharaoh.
**** "Diabound" however has the power to attack all Hats at once. The Pharaoh & Mana's hiding place is soon revealed, and they are cast back
* "[[Diabound]]" is about to deliver the final blow when it is attacked by a flying scimitar. It's [[Priest Seto]]'s "[[Duos]]" and its ''Aura Sword'' attack!
** The other '''[[The Sacred Guardians|Priests]] join in the fight''' as well.
*** [[Isis]] Summons "[[Mystical Elf]]" and restores the life energy of the [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]].
*** [[Karim]] Summons "[[Curse of Dragon]]", which gets immediately attacked by "Diabound". It dodges the attack however.
**** The [[The Sacred Guardians|Priests]] ''Ka'' unite, with "[[Dark Magician]]", "[[Dark Magician Girl]]", "[[Duos]]", and "[[Curse of Dragon]]" all attacking at once on "[[Diabound]]". Its ''Spirit Shield'' still holds.

===Aknadin's Continuing Betrayal & Yuugi Muto's Epiphany===
* At this point, [[Aknadin]] arrives at [[Kul Elna]]. He finds it hard to escape the wrath of its inhabitants' spirit, who hold him directly responsible for their fate so many years ago. He is however saved by [[Shada]]'s "[[Two-Headed Jackal Warrior]]".
** Then, Shada's [[Millennium Key]] sense a powerful force emanating from one of the houses. He enters to investigate, descending into an underground room. He is astonished to find the Tablet of Bakura's "[[Diabound]]"!!
*** [[Aknadin]] also enters the room, and everything makes sense to him now: "'' This is [[Diabound]]'s Stone Tablet... So... Diabound has been created by this village's dead spirits? As long as that hatred is not erased, [[Diabound]] shal not vanish.''".
* [[Shada]] realizes that if the Tablet is attacked, Bakura's "Diabound" will be no more! Just as he is about to Summon "[[Two-Headed Jackal Warrior]]" however, '''Aknadin hits him with a big rock''' from behind. The Kul Elna spirits carry him away, as his [[Millennium Key]] is picked up by Aknadin.
'''Shada''': "''Aknadin - sama...!''"
** The battle goes on, with [[Diabound]] using its "Wave of Multiple Fangs" to fight the other KAs. The [[Mystical Elf|Holy Elf]] is destroyed.  In the meanwhile, Bakura thinks that he'd rather wish that Yuugi & co. find the 8th key soon enough. He knows it was a good idea to improve along the way and create a clone of his into Honda.
* Up on the surface, [[Yugi Muto|Yuugi]] & his friends are still trying to elude Bakura's rider servants. It is then that [[Tristan Taylor|Hondan]] (however this is really [[Yami Bakura|Bakura]] who has taken control of Honda talking, he is trying to find out the [[Yami Yugi|Pharaoh's]] real name through Yuugi) suggests that they should try to do something useful.
** Yuugi agrees: they should be looking for the Pharaoh's real name! That's something they'd been searching for since a long time ago, even before coming here.
*** Yuugi goes on arguing: why was the name of the Pharaoh erased from the [[Tablet of Lost Memories]]? Honda quickly guesses: it ''had'' to be erased!
[[Shadi]] said it: [[Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]] is the Pharaoh's true foe. What's more! If this world is supposed to recreate what happened 3,000 years ago, then the Pharaoh is destined to face [[Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]] again. The Pharaoh's real name has to be the ky to defeating it! 
They all agree that, for the time being, they should visit the town again. Since they've met the Pharaoh, they possibily may be allowed into the palace.

===The Loss of the Millennium Scale===
* "[[Duos]]" attacks, but once again "Diabound" counter-attacks for some heavy damage.
* [[Karim]] decides it is time to call upon the power of the [[Millennium Scale]]: '''Monster Fusion'''! Karim's "[[Curse of Dragon]]" and Priest Seto's "[[Duos]]" combine to form '''"[[Duos Dragon]]"''', which then combines with "[[Dark Magician]]"/[[Mahad]] for a ''Ka'' with triple their original individual strengths.
** "[[Duos Dragon| Evil Dragon Knight - Duos Dragon]]" attacks, "[[Diabound]]" counters with ''Spiral Surge'': The two attack powers are equal, but "Diabound" has the power of Kul Elna's spirits with him! It rapidly overcomes that of "[[Duos Dragon| Evil Dragon Knight - Duos Dragon]]"!!
*** [[Priest Seto]] and [[Karim]] order their ''Ka'' to cast ''Aura Sword'' and ''Burst Flame Attack'', but it still cannot penetrate the defenses of "Diabound's" ''Dead Spirit Shield''. However, the Shield begins to melt under the heavy heat.
**** It is then that Bakura Summons yet another monster, "[[Illushu]]" (which seems like an ancient version of "[[Meda Bat|Cyclops Demon]]")! It severely wounds [[Karim]], allowing the Kul Elna spirits to '''seize his [[Millennium Scale]]'''.

===King Aknamkanon's Ultimate Sacrifice===
* Without the Scale, "[[Duos Dragon]]" de-fuses back into its individual forms; "[[Curse of Dragon]]" and "[[Duos]]". One final attack by "[[Diabound]]" wipes away the [[The Sacred Guardians|Guardians]]' ''Kas'' and knocks back the Pharaoh & the others.
** On the other hand, Bakura can now use the [[Millennium Scale]] to fuse his "[[Diabound]]" and "[[Illushu]]" into an even more powerful monster!
* Trying to protect his [[The Sacred Guardians|Guardians]]', [[Pharaoh Atem|Pharaoh]] tells Bakura to take ''him''. "''When my father ordered the creation of the [[Millennium Items]]''" says the Pharaoh, "''evil spirits needed to be captured to complete the spell. These dark spirits blame my father for trapping them here, and they want me to pay the price. So I shall allow my soul to join them, and this grudge will be laid to rest once and for all!''"
** [[Kul Elna]]'s spirits enter the Pharaoh's body and attempt to absorb his soul. However, the spirit of King [[Aknamkanon]] lives within the Pharaoh's heart, and he '''offers himself to the dark spirits instead'''.
*** [[Aknamkanon]] absorbs all the evil spirits to lead them towards the realm of Shadows, where they belong. At the same time, [[Shada]] is released and lacking the power of Kul Elna's spirits, Bakura's "[[Diabound]]" is weakened.
**** The Pharaoh orders "[[Dark Magician]]"/[[Mahad]] to strike with one fiery point-blank range ''Dark Magic Attack''. "[[Diabound|Diabound's]]" Monster Tablet is finally shattered!!!!
