With Marik's abduction plan foiled for good, Yugi and co. can finally focus on getting to the location of the Battle City finals. Putting their locator cards on their duel disks activates a set of directions and the group heads off. And with that, the rest of the episode's focus shifts elsewhere.

In the recesses of Ryou Bakura's mind, Marik approaches Yami Bakura and tells him to get a move on with the plan. He'll have to get a Duel Disk and six locator cards before the Battle City finals if he wants to obtain the Millennium Rod. Bakura agrees, and after knocking Solomon Muto out, he leaves the hospital and mugs an unfortunate duelist for his Duel Disk and a single locator card. (He would have taken his deck, too, but he deemed it worthless.)

After intimidating ''other'' duelists into telling him that duels are taking place at the cemetery, Yami Bakura finds Bonz, Sid, and Zygor scaring duelists into giving up their locator cards by pretending to be zombies. He's not scared at all by their act, and demands that they duel him for all of the cards they have. Bonz agrees, and while he scores an early lead, Bakura defeats him and sends them all to the Shadow Realm. Now he has all six locator cards and a ticket to the Battle City finals!
