Yami Marik sets one card, and summons Makiura the Destructor(1600/1200), equipping it with the Black Pendant card, rasing its attack by 500 points. Yami Marik orders his monster to attack, but Mai activates her Amazon Archers trap, canceling out Yami Marik's Black Pendant. Unfriendly Amazon then destroyed Makiura(Marik's LP:1950). Marik then lost his memory of Strings. Yami Marik then informed Mai that when Black Pendant was sent to the graveyard, Mai would lose 500 life points(Mai's LP:3500). Yami Marik then went on and explained that when Makiura the Destructor was sent to the graveyard, he could play one trap card from his hand.
Yami Marik played Rope of Life, reviving Makiura the Destructor with 800 extra attack points(Atk:2400). Makiura then destroyed Unfriendly Amazon. Mai then began to lose her memory of Joey. She remebered her childhood and how she had always been lonely. Mai remembered how she had become friends with Yugi and the gang after she met them. Mai's complete memory of Joey then faded and she was unable to see him as he called out for her. Yami Yugi then decided that it was time to end this sick game, so he used his Millenium Puzzle to enter Mai's mind. Yugi told Mai that she was not alone in this duel and that she could still win. Mai began to regain her confidence. Yami Marik was furious that Yugi had interfered with the duel.
Mai summoned her Amazon Chain Master(1500/1300). Mai then set a card and told Yami Marik to attack her. Yami Marik summoned Holding Arms and used its ability to trap the Amazon Chain Master. Yugi now feared for Mai, so he called out to Yami Marik to stop the shadow game, but Yami Marik told Yugi that the two games were meant to be one. Mai told Yugi to have faith in her. Mai then activated her face down card, Grave Arm, sending her own monster to the graveyard. She then used her Amazon Chain Master's special effect to steal the Winged Dragon of Ra from Yami Marik's deck. Yami Marik wasn't concerned at all because he was sure that Mai wouldn't be able to control of the power of a God card.
Mai then set two cards and summoned Amazon Fighter(1500/1300). Marik was amused, but as Makiura attacked, Mai activatedAmazon Magician, switching the attack of their two monsters. Makiura was destroyed(Yami Marik's LP:1050). Yami Marik then lost his memory of Arkana. Yami Marik then activated his Card of Last Will, which allowed him to draw five new cards. Then, thanks to Makiura's effect, Yami Marik activated Nightmare Wheel from his hand, trapping the Amazon Fighter. Mai activated Rescue Operation, returning Mazon Fighter to her hand. Rescue Operation also allowed Mai to special summon a monster from her hand. Yami Marik told Mai to summon the Egyptian God card, but Mai told him that she knew that the God Card needed the monsters that were tributed attack power. If she summoned it now, it would have zero attack and defence.
Mai then special summoned Cyber Harpie(1800/1300). Mai then drew Graceful Charity. She played this card to draw three cards and discard two from her hand. Mai then played Elegant Egotist, summoning two other Cyber Harpies. Mai then sacraficed all three of then to summoned the Winged Dragon of Ra. As the most powerful of the God cards appeared, Mai was shocked to see that it was trapped inside a sphere and that she had no idea how to open it.
