"We aren't going in, we're just going to make sure we secure the entrance before going in with Serena," Yami explained when he looked to Yugi and Seto. "I'm positive that Serena will be okay. This is why is asked Tristen and Joey to go help her." Yami then looked away. "Besides. Better them than I..."

When Red-Eyes landed, Joey got off his dragon and was about to go to Serena when Tristen grabbed him. He noticed that something wasn't right. "I think you're right. Something's got her." He continued to watch Serena until he heard her say, brother. "Brother!? But there's no one here!" Then it seemed to click. The Shadow! "We need ta take out that Shadow!" Joey exclaimed while his Black Dragon growled at it like it was the plague.
