Arriving at the castle, the group found out that Meyari was actually the queen. A feast was prepared for them and Meyari started talking to them about the tragedy of her kingdom, "in the Gouland Kingdom as well as the neighbouring one, we are forced to make sacrifices once a year."
"Sacrifice?" Yugi inquired.
"What do you mean?" Mokuba asked.
"If we do not offer sacrifices to the Five God Dragon, it shall destroy our land completely," Meyari replied.
"The Five God Dragon? Sounds like another Monster card to me..." Akia mumbled that last part so that Meyari and the sprites of the kingdom wouldn't hear her and take it in a bad way.
"I heard that the other kingdom has offered up a prince from a faraway land," the Mokuba look-alike said.
"That's nii-sama! Where is my big brother now?" Mokuba exclaimed.
"I'm certain that he's being held in the Dark Castle of the Sky," Meyari answered.
"How do we get there?" Yugi questioned.
Meyari then motioned towards something behind Yugi, "please look at this painting. This is a legend from a thousand years ago." The painting depicted a white bird flying through both the night and day sky. "This is the ancient ship used to get to the Dark Castle of the Sky. However, we are unsure where to find this legendary artifact."
"Can't we just use our monsters to get there?" Mai said.
"The Dark Castle is surrounded by a barrier that monsters can't cross," Meyari informed them.
"No way..." Mokuba uttered in disbelief.
Mai tried to comfort Mokuba, "it's alright. This is a game after all. There's got to be a way to solve it."
Baba and Meyari looked at Mai, a bit confused by what she just said.
"Don't pay attention to me!" The latter giggled nervously. "Anyway, have you decided on your sacrifice?"
"Ah... Yes," Meyari whispered.
Baba then took a handkerchief out of her sleeve and sniffled in it.
"It's me." The girl confessed. The group expressed their surprise at her declaration.
"But I believe that you may be able to save this land. The legend speaks of a group of legendary heroes that come to fight the dragon! It states "When the strongest dragon teams up, the Evil Deity will be destroyed." I believe that it is you this prophecy is speaking of. I am convinced that you can save this world!" Meyari expressed.
"I'm pumped, I'm pumped, I'm pumped! This is like a dream come true for a fan of RPG games!" Jounouchi exclaimed.
"You're really simple-minded... Saving Kaiba is our top priority right now," Mai retorted.
"But if we don't defeat the Five God Dragon, we can't save Kaiba. We're bound to come across it," the blonde teen replied.
Yugi and the others then agreed to help Meyari, since it would also help them save Kaiba. Meyari offered them warrior outfits to demonstrate her gratefulness.
Mai was given an armour that showed off her curves. It had a short skirt and a blue cape, along with a sword attached to her belt, "this kind of gives me a good feeling."
"You look gorgeous in it!" Akia told her friend.
The red-eyed girl had a mid-length dark purple dress that had slits on both sides of her legs, that stopped just above her upper thighs. It then transformed into silver breast plates that weren't really designed to protect anything as they showed off her cleavage, which would be the most vulnerable spot. She had long skin tight white boots with silver detailing and gloves to match. She was also given a white quiver filled with arrows, as well as a silver bow.
