Around midnight, both Honda and Dark Bakura sneak out of their rooms in Pegasus's castle -- Honda to try to rescue Mokuba and Kaiba, Bakura to stare creepily at Shadi's painting. Bakura is caught by the guards, but has given control back to Bakura Ryou (who is let go because he does such a good job of appearing harmless and confused '-'). After a whispered discussion with Honda, Bakura Ryou agrees to provide a distraction while Honda sneaks past the guards. Honda is caught, though, and it isn't until 4:30 AM that Dark Bakura shows up and knocks out a guard to come save him (and Mokuba). What was Bakura doing between distracting the guards and the rescue? Probably scoping out the castle, since he knows where to find Pegasus later.

I should note that this is pretty different from what happens in the anime! Both in terms of timing and how the rescue plays out. Dark Bakura is not interested in possessing Mokuba's body. He apparently just rescues Honda and Mokuba for shits and giggles! Or to seem helpful, though we're not shown if Honda realizes that it's the spirit of the Ring rescuing him and not Bakura Ryou (he later thinks that something's off about Bakura, but he doesn't specifically mention the Ring). There is also no summoning of monsters into the real world.

What he learned:
- This is the first memory he's had that involves switching in and out of control of Bakura Ryou's body. Host is pretty useful for deflecting suspicion, HMM.
- He was surprised to see Shadi's portrait! Apparently this is someone he knows. Again, HMMMMM.
++ general scheming...
