One night, Kaiba arrives on the island by helicopter, jarring everyone on the groun from their sleep. Yugi gives Kaiba his Deck back but Joey cannot stand to see Kaiba behave this way in spite of everything Yugi had done for him and demands a Duel. Kaiba accepts if Joey is willing to use the prototype Duel Disk. Joey agrees to the terms but quickly falls behind as none of his monsters stand up to Kaiba's. Finally, Joey brings out his prized monster and takes down a monster but it's no match for Kaiba's prized monster and it costs him the Duel. Afterwards, Kaiba recalls what Pegaus is capable of.

The Intercontinental Championship was a match Kaiba won't soon forget as it featured champion Duelist Bandit Keith and Maximillion Pegasus. While Keith feels he has the road to victory, Pegasus calls on a boy from the audience named Sam to Duel in his place using instructions from a note he'd written. Sam makes his move just as the instructions said and fortold about Keith's card. It costs Bandit Keith the championship. Pegasus knows Kaiba is coming for him but isn't willing to share which way the hunt will go.
