Further on into the game, Yugi summoned Joey's Red Eyes Black Dragon to the field, sacrificing two of his monsters in the process.
Joey was instantly transfixed to his best monster in his deck, blotting out Marik like he didn't care anymore.
He looked back at Yugi, gormlessly staring into his eyes.
"Yugi…" he whispered before succumbing to holding his head, screaming his throat out.
"JOEY!" Yugi screeched. He tried to run to him but the shackles on his ankles were too strong.
"Marik! Leave him alone!"
The timer was reaching its last few seconds. Marik let go of Joey's mind, believing he'd done enough damage.
Joey immediately stopped screaming his large head of hair off,limply dropping to the floor. But the timer for a thirty second wait had begun.
"Joey are you alright?" Yugi cried.
Joey tilted his face up towards Yugi and smiled through teary eyes
"Yugi…thank you!" he cried back, "At least I can repay you back by saving your life."
Yugi realised that they were still being timed. Suddenly his shackles clicked and loosened, he unhooked them and ran towards Joey.
Tea had finally woken up to the sound of Yugi's cries to Joey.
She walked up to them and wondered what was going on.
"Yugi? Joey?" She puzzled.
"Tea! Have you got a key on you? Anything?" Yugi, frantic as anything, asked.
"Ermm…" she searched her pockets "Ah! Will this do?" she said as she pulled a small metallic key from her pocket.
Yugi didn't bother to say thank you, he snatched it from her hand. Pleases and thank yous can be saved till later, he thought. The key fitted and unlocked his shackles.
"Come on let's go!"
All of them rushed from the docks only to see behind them the timer reaching zero, letting loose the anchor which crashed through the docks, halving it into smithereens. Bringing the chains that were holding Joey andYugi a few seconds ago, down to the watery depths of the sea.
"Yet again Yugi, you saved my life" Joey spoke.
Yugi looked at both Tea and Joey, checking to see if they were all right. Tea was perfectly fine yet Joey had received a few scratches and bruises.
"Let's go Yug, we've got everyone" said Joey.
Yugi's eyes widened…Kaiba!
