Chapter Seven: The Lord of the Red Eyes.

While stuck in the prisoner's room, deeply underground, Joey looks through his cards and stops at one in particular, the Red-Eyes Black Dragon. He looks at the card with admiration until the card begins to glow as a foot the size of the card comes out of the card. "What the…?" exclaims Joey as he tosses the card to the ground, while the dragon continues to get out of the card.

Almost instantly Joey understood and said, "Could you help me get out of here?" The dragon didn't reply by speaking, but instead by carving letters in the ground with his nail. Aura Armor. Remembering a card in his deck had the same name, he got it out and asked the dragon, "What should I do with this card?" and once again, it began carving letters. Use it for me. So he held out the card, which the Red-Eyes touched with one of the nails of his right claw.

Soon he was transformed into what seemed to be armor in the shape of the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, which was quickly attached to Joey, giving him the appearance of the Lord of Red. "Now I understand…" Joey then looks at his right hand, and punched at the ceiling, forming an atomic fireball, which blasted a tunnel straight to the first floor.

Using the wings of his new armor, Joey flew up the tunnel, which seemed endless, until he exited through the top of the volcano, wings spread widely. "Now to get back at that bag a bones!"

Soon he saw his friends, Pegasus, and what seems to be duel monsters running toward the volcano, and flew down to them.

Yami and the group

Yami sees a dragonic creature dropping toward them and exclaims, "Oh no, this could be one of the creatures of the Skull Gang!" and before Yugi could continue Tristan says, "Wait a second, there's a human face on that creature! Who is that?" Kaiba then says, "Is that that loser, Wheeler?"

Joey, finally reaching them, exclaims, "Well, do you like my armor? I fused the Red-Eyes with a card I have known as Aura Armor to create the armor of the Lord of Red." Kaiba looks at Joey for a second, stunned, and then says, "So, does this mean you can actually defend yourself now, instead of letting Yugi fight all of your battles?" "Err, wait'll I get my hands on you Kaiba!" Yami keeps Joey from getting to Kaiba and tries to explain, "Joey, this isn't the time to fight! We have to finish off Skull!"

So the reunited group continues to the volcano, where an army awaits them…
