Dear Yuto, Shay and I split up to go and find Zuzu who is being held captive by Roget. Shay didn't like it when I suggested it, he is a big brother after all. I was able to convince him that it may be best, he is one of the best duelists ever (alongside you) and with your ace monster and mine, I will be able to defeat any opponent. In fact I have just defeated my fifth round of some guards that want to protect Roget, and I can feel the exhaustion but with the adrenaline pumping through my veins I am not slowing down. Not until we get Zuzu back, not until Roget is out of the picture and we go to Fusion to find you.

I know that we will, and when we do, you, Shay, and I can go back to being the close trio that we have always been. The three of us separating from the Lancers as we take on Obelisk Force and this Professor. But this has also made me realize something, Yuto. I mean, I kind of knew back in the peaceful days of Xyz before the invasion but I never really did have the courage to tell you and it has been a part of my determination to find you.

Yuto, I-

"You there!" Hearing a deep voice Lulu puts her pen in the back pocket of her pants along with her small notebook that she had been using to write Yuto letters. She activates her duel disk. Just in time too, as a total of six guards-three on each side-come running towards her. "What are doing here"

"That's none of your business!" Lulu exclaims showing her duel disk.

"Want a duel?" Another asks, this one from her left, now facing her back.

"She won't even survive, she's tired!" Another taunts. Without a duel even being engaged Lulu summons Dark Rebellion and Lyrilusc Assembled Nightingale. Just as the exhaustion finally settles in and she staggers a bit before the guards surround her. She starts struggling when two of them come and pin her hands behind her back, she gets in a good kick and connects her foot with the underside of his chin and his helmet flies off revealing Roget underneath.

Lulu gasps in surprise as her eyes widen. How is Roget here? How is he a part of security? How-Lulu grunts as the two guards holding her arms increase their grip and the rest of the guards all remove their helmets to reveal that they are all Roget. Lulu thinks she has officially lost it. Maybe she's asleep back in the hotel room given to Friendship Cup participants, maybe she's back in Paradise City after her duel with Sora, maybe she's back home in a recovery pod after a very rough duel and this is all some sort of nightmare.

The guards start making their way, and by default Lulu as well, down the hall until they come upon a door that opens to reveal Roget holding Zuzu captive and he is wearing some sort of dueling visor. Looking out the window Lulu sees Declan dueling the virtual Roget and the others have just entered the room. She's glad to see that they are all alright, especially her brother. She knows her brother has taken many blows and can face anything head on, but seeing him without any new injury makes her happy just a little.

". . . .And I'm talking to the real Roget up there!" Declan states as they all finally look up and see them. Unfortunately, they can't see her because she is still covered by the wall.

"You think you're so clever Declan, but you forget that I have Zuzu and I'll hand her over to your father-The Professor!" Lulu's heart squeezes and picks up in her chest at this revelation. Declan's father, the Professor? Declan's father is the ruler of Duel Academy and is the one who attacked her home? Her friends? Her family? Her Yuto and took him away?

Wait, hers? Yuto was never technically hers. They never told each other that they like each other romantically, and despite what Kite, Saya, Allen, and even Shay have said, Lulu never believed that Yuto cared for her more than a friend, maybe even a sister. That's why she hung out with Dennis, yes she did assume that she had made a new friend, but she also thought that maybe he would help her get over her feelings for Yuto. Then the invasion happened and Yuto gave her Dark Rebellion and she used it to defeat Obelisk Force members.

Until now, Lulu hasn't really given it much thought as to why Yuto gave her Dark Rebellion. She recalls him saying that he will only give Dark Rebellion to someone only if he cares about them greatly. Like how Shay is brother to him (though Shay really doesn't believe in giving your opponent a card from your deck) or if he is in love with that person, she assumed when Yuto gave her Dark Rebellion it's because she thought he saw as a sister. Now, she wonders if he sees her the way she sees him.

"Give Zuzu back!" Yuya shouts snapping Lulu out of her thoughts.

"Oh, but I have just another surprise." Lulu grunts as the fake Roget's bring her into view of the others.

"Lulu!" Shay's voice is full of shock and surprise before he calms it and says, "let her go." Lulu has heard that tone many time back home, when Obelisk Force have tried to rip things out of people, especially little kids who were trying to make sense of all the chaos around them and Obelisk Force was ready to turn them into cards.

"I would, but you see: you all need to make a choice. One comes with me, the other with you all. Who will it be, Lulu or Zuzu?"

"Give them both back!" Yuya states.

"I say we take Lulu and. . . ." Sylvio falls silent when the others besides Declan all look at him.

"If the situation were any different I might agree," Shay grunts. "But we need to get them both back. If the Professor doesn't get Lulu or Zuzu then he only has Selena and Rin, and that means whatever he has planned for them won't work."

Roget then laughs madly claiming that she and Zuzu are a means to a way to allow him to live on and with either or both of them in his lifeline will ensure it. He then uses energy handcuffs on them and then drags them off with Yuya calling after Zuzu and her brother calling out for her. Roget takes them to an elevator and he mumbles about an escape only Jack and Crow to stop him, unfortunately Roget sends Lulu flying down first then Jack and Crow attack sending Zuzu falling.

Yuya, along with the help of Hip Hippo, save her.

"You may have saved one, but the other is still falling." Roget tells the others.

"Not for long! Raidraptor Rise Falcon, go get Lulu!" Raidraptor flies down the elevator-shoot, Lulu landing in it's palm and taking her back to her brother. "Lulu! Are you alright?" He wraps his arms around and checking for any injury.

"I'm fine." She assures him, returning the embrace.

"No more splitting up, okay?"

"Okay."

Sadly, they don't get the chance. Roget's dimension transporter reboots and Zuzu gets sucked into one dimension by the winds, which are capturing Lulu. "Shay!"

"Lulu!" He grabs a hold of her arm trying to pull her back, keep her from getting sucked away. He lost her when they first came to Syncro, he nearly lost her during the invasion back home, he isn't going to lose her now. The strong winds have different plans as they get stronger, Shay's grip loosens and his sister is sucked into the vortex.

Shay can't believe it. He just lost his sister to an unknown dimension. He can only hope that she is back home or in Standard because who knows what will happen to her if she ends up in fusion.

Shay doesn't have the time to fully let it sink in that his sister is gone because soon Yuya is getting sucked into a vortex and he, Gong, and Sylvio try to keep Yuya from going in only to get sucked in with him, then everything goes black. When they awake Shay sees the familiar destruction that has happened because of Fusion and out of all the places he can't believe that he is back here.

"Wow, Neo Domino got a makeover." Sylvio states seeing the carnage.

"This isn't Neo Domion. This is my home." He can hear the others gasp as they take in what Duel Academy did to Heartland.

Declan, Sora, Riley, Jack, Crow, and Moon Shadow are still in Syncro, not having been sucked into a portal. Sora filling them in on what a worm hole is. "That's right." Declan adjusts his glasses before continuing. "Zuzu, Lulu, and the others are now in different dimensions, but worm holes aren't ways that can be predictably traveled."

"What do you mean, Declan?" Riley wonders.

"I mean we don't know which dimensions they ended up in, or if we will find which ones."
