Meanwhile Joey had summoned Flame Swordsman and moved both his monsters into the maze. Dox then moved his Labyrinth Tank seven more spaces into the maze. Yugi summoned the Dark Magician and moved it five spaces into the maze to protect the other monsters. Para then activated Magical Labyrinth. The entire Labyrinth shifted and Yugi's monsters were split from Joey's monsters. Tristin the commented that the the team was a strong as its weakest member. Joey began to wonder whether he would cause Yugi to lose. In order to regroup Joey's Axe Raider stepped right on top of Jirai Gumo and was destroyed(Joey's LP:1600). Then Dox moved his Labyrinth Tank seven more spaces. Joey's Flame Swordsman had two powerful monsters in front of him now. Before Dox nded his turn he set a monster. Yugi used Mystic Box and used it to switch the places of his Dark Magician and the Jirai Gumo. Jirai Gumo was destroyed by the box. Yugi's Dark Magician then destroyed Dox's Labyrinth Tank(Dox's LP:1900).
Back at Pegasus's castle, Kemo told Seto that Pegasus already knew he was here. Seto forced Kemo to take him to Mokuba. Meanwhile Mokuba was wondering where his brother was.
Para then drew Sanga of the Thunder, one of the three monsters that form Gate Guardian. He set it. A strange Chinese Box appeared on the field. Dox drew Suijin (another piece) and set it. Then Dox revealed his face down monster Dungeon Worm. He then used Invigoration and powered up Dungeon Worm by 400 attack points. Dungeon Worm burrowed into the maze and then destroyed Celtic Guardian(Yugi's LP:900). When Dungeon Worm attacked again, Yugi activated Magical Hats to protect Joey's Flame Swordsman and his Dark Magician. Para summoned Monster Tamer and used its effect to control Dungeon Worm and power its attack up by 600. Dungeon Worm attacked again, but it destroyed an empty hat. Joey brought his Flame Swordsman out of the Magical Hats' protection and powered it up with Salamandra. Then he attacked the hole where Dungeon Worm had just come out of and the fire attack destroyed the worm(Dox's LP:1600). Dox then dew the final piece of Gate Guardian, Kazejin.
Meanwhile Kemo had led Seto to the deepest part of the castle, where Mokuba was locked up. Seto warned Kemo not to try anything on him. Meanwhile Mokuba was remembering how Seto had helped him and stayed close to him.
Dox then summoned it and all three of the pieces fused together to create Gate Guardian. Yugi set two cards during hid turn. Para then ordered his Gate Guardian to attack the Flame Swordsman. It looked like Joey was in big trouble.
