Tristan moans at how Joey manages to avoid climbing by "convieniently" disappering. Tea tells him to stop complaining and just keep climbing. The rock Tristan grabs falls away, sending him hurtling down towards the river of lava. He manages to grab a rock to stop himself falling. Unfortunately, it happens to be a capsule rock, which breaks open and sends both itself and Tristan falling towards the lava again. The others cry out for him, but his new monster is a [[Thunder Dragon]] that flies him back up. Yugi realises that they shouldn't bother climbing, but use their monsters instead. Tea summons forth [[Dark Witch]] while Yugi switches to Yami and summoned [[Dark Magician]], fusing to become the Dark Warrior. Taking hold of Solomon, all 3 fly up to the top.

As they fly to the top, Tea spots a sword sticking out the rim of the volcano. Solomon complains he can't see it. Thinking the chaos means the lava flow, they figure that pulling out the sword will stop it.

Joey tells of how he gained armor like Yugi has while riding the back of [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]], they fused. Joey doesn't seem himself... too arrogant. He figures that, because of the power he now possesses, he can finish the game by himself. Solomon notices this and tells Tristan not to attack Joey as something else is possessing him. Joey gets full of himself again and fires a blast at Tea and Solomon. Joey powers another blast and fires it at Yami, who avoids it as Joey fires a third, hitting him with it before charging and tackling Yami. Yami tries to talk Joey out of his confused state. Joey lets rip with a flurry of punches, Yugi saying they can't attack their best friend, but Yami disagrees and fires 3 balls of light at Joey who avoids and continues his attack. Yami flies away, Joey in chase. As he flies after Yami, Joey starts to realise in his mind that something was wrong when he fused with [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]].

Tea looks up as she gets up from her attack, noticing the sword in the volcano is starting to sink. Solomon realises that they need to pull the sword out fast, but because Yami is busy, Tristan goes to do so. As he runs toward the sword, Joey appears from the sky, swinging his halberd-like weapon to create a wave to knock Tristan back. Joey goes back to fighting Yami as the rest of the gang make it to the sword, pulling on it to try and set it free. Joey creates a shockwave again, knocking the gang back down off the rim again. Solomon says they need to take Joey out before they can get to the sword. He says that they all need to attack simultaniously, despite the risk of hurting Joey. Tristan summons forth both [[Thunder Kid]] and [[Thunder Dragon]] while Tea summons out [[Dark Witch]]. Solomon says to wait for an opening. Tea protests, saying how Joey might be trapped in the game forever, but Solomon says it's better than standing around doing nothing and have them all trapped.

Yugi (in spirit form) knows that Joey's still inside and that he'll save him. Yami and Joey collide, a bright light enveloping everything with only a black ball of energy in the center. In some kind of mindscape, Joey's voice calls to Yugi, asking for help. Joey tells of how something was wrong with [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] before they merged. Joey says the only way to break the spell is to destroy the armor that's controlling him. Yugi protests as it would mean destroying Joey too, but Joey knows that already.

The sword is still steadily sinking. Joey flies down infront of the gang, protecting the sword. Tristan says it's time to attack, but Tea falls to her knees, unable to attack her friend. Yami says that he'll do the deed. Yami says he's prepares to do it and readies an attack. Joey says that he doesn't have the guts to attack, but Joey's mind stops the armor, holding it still so it's unable to defend itself from Yami's attack. Joey (in spirit form) tells Yami to attack, who blasts Joey and the armor with a Dark Magic attack, the armor and [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] flying off from Joey, who collapses. The gang all run over to check if he's alright, Tristan taking his pulse. Relieved that he's alright, but out of time as the sword fully sinks into the volcano, the gang is dismayed as [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] comes roaring out of the clouds. [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] fires off a blast as Yami creates a [[Magic Cylinder]], sending the attack right back at [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]], knocking it out of the sky. It crashes nearby on the volcano.

Getting up, Joey walks over to the unconcious dragon, he climbs atop [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] to show the others of a second sword that's sticking out of [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]'s back. Pulling on it, beams of black and red light shine from the wound, Joey pulls the sword out. Yami shouts to Joey, telling him THAT sword is the source of the curse and they can still pass the test. Joey tosses the sword into the air, Yami blasting it with a Dark Magic attack, the sword shattering as it hits. The pendant around Tea's neck shines as another trial is over and passed. Yami explains that the sword in the volcano was a decoy, the real Blade of Chaos being the one stuck in [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]. Joey becomes all modest, but the gang congratulate him for being so brave. Joey tells [[Red-Eyes Black Dragon]] to get some rest as it becomes a capsule, placing itself in Joey's hand, just before Joey collapses from using the armor. Yami defuses with [[Dark Magician]], he himself feeling weakened.

Alex says to himself that what they say about Yami is true, if anyone can complete the challegnes and set Alex's spirit free, it is Yami. Then he removes his mask to reveal that he looks like Dr. Alex Brisbane....
