Step 2 or 4, depending on how you interpret "X is the Victory Condition of Being Bucky". If you interpret it as "X can validly be called 'the Victory Condition of Being Bucky", step 2 is okay; if you interpret it as "X is the same object as Y, where Y is the Victory Condition of Being Bucky", it doesn't make sense. In either case, by step 4, you're definitely implying that such an object exists.
