She tries to escape while Bill fights off Manola and his men but Princess Maya overtakes her and they fight fiercely until Joan overcomes her and tries to escape again. She is captured by Manola and Princess Maya sentences her to burn alive for her lies and sacrilege to the goddess idol. As the fire burns around Joan, she is rescued at the last moment by Bill.
