With Yugi still unable to contact Yami and facing down cards he struggles to take down, Yugi presses on with the fate of his Millennium Puzzle and Yami hanging in the balance. Finally, the Duel reaches a point where Bandit Keith snaps, threatening to destroy anyone and anything in his way. Keith smashes a control board, which ignites a fire and leaves Yugi and Yami's lives in major peril. Bandit Keith tries to escape but ends up falling off the Dueling platform and temporarily getting knocked out. Yugi tries his best to remove the Millennium Puzzle but it's no good and the fire is spreading quickly. Bandit Keith awakens as Marik wants him to continue the Duel but Bandit Keith decides to smash the Millennium Puzzle to pieces, leaving Yugi to work hard in reassembling it. Joey and Tristan arrive but find that Yugi refuses to leave without the Millennium Puzzle. Tea` watches with much worry as the fire continues to spread.

Bandit Keith gets back up but Bakura knocks him back down. Eventually, Yugi succeeds and the gang head out just as the fire is put out by the fire department. Yugi knows they did well but haven't seen the last of Marik.
