"Director Lazar, you wanted to see me?" Trudge asked before walking into the room.
"Yes, I need you and Mina to deliver something to the signers, it's of vital importance." Lazar said before handing Trudge a sealed envelope. "Tell Yusei I was unable to find anything related to the card, however I trust this will suffice."
"Right, to be honest I was considering paying him a visit." Trudge said before walking off.
I only hope that the information I found helps them; it certainly was a surprise to me, Lazar thought.

"From what I can gather, the three of them were able to harness their powers to create three planes of existence, all of which run parallel to each other." Zerlo continued. "Levran, who was one with all life, created a place known as the Spirit World, where beings of incredible power could exist."
"Wow, I wish I could have met him." Luna said.
"As do I, however the next world is one I don't ever wish to visit, the Netherworld, I'm glad to say that its creator was imprisoned." Zerlo said. "Anyone who would create such a place is truly evil."
"Well, I don't know." Luna said before looking down.
"If you don't mind, before we continue could you please help me with something?" Zerlo said calmly.
"Alright, you've been a great help." Luna said when suddenly a chill passed through the room. "What was that?"
"That, well I needed to unwind a bit, staying cooped up isn't good for your health." Zerlo said lazily. "Now, if you don't mind I need your special power for my own."
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Luna asked nervously.
"Simple, I know everything about the three "Forgotten Ones" little girl, I'm Zerlo, the strongest of the three, and the one who designed the Netherworld and its king." Zerlo said before revealing his eyes.
Luna get out of there now! The Ancient Fairy Dragon shouted into her mind.
The moment she heard that Luna fled to the Spirit World just before Zerlo's hand pierced the wall.

"Well, it looks like all of you guys are in one spot." Trudge said when he walked up to the signers. "Wait a minute, where's Luna?"
"She went to get information on the Forgotten Ones." Crow said when Leo suddenly fell out of his chair.
"What the heck?" Leo asked when he noticed a card was glowing; the card Luna gave him, Kuribon.
"Leo what's going on?" Jack asked.
"Luna, she's in trouble." Leo said. "I need to make sure she's ok."
"Wait, how are you going to find her?" Akiza asked.
"I have a guide, and I trust him as much as Luna would." Leo said before activating his duel disc. "I summon Kuribon."

"Lord Zerlo, should we search for the girl?" asked a black skeleton creature.
"No, she's out of our reach." Zerlo said. "We'll find her soon enough, we just need her to return from the Spirit World."
"As you say lord Zerlo." the skeleton said. "I'll continue my duties for now."
"Very good, I have matters of my own to attend to" Zerlo said before walking into a sealed chamber.

"Luna, I'm glad you're safe, but you need to stay away from him." Regulus said.
"I didn't know he was one of them, we needed information so we could stop them." Luna said. "Wait, I need to warn the others about Zerlo."
"I know, but unless you travel through the Spirit World for at least a short time, you'll just return to the same spot you left." Regulus explained just before a flash of light appeared in the distance. "What in the world was that?"
"I don't know, but we should make sure it isn't anything dangerous." Luna said.
"You have a good point, just be careful." Regulus said before Kuribon flew out of the woods.
"Kuribon, if you need to lead me somewhere at least…" Leo started to say when he saw Luna and Regulus. "Luna, are you ok?"
"Leo, I'm alright." Luna said. "We need to warn the others, Zerlo's one of the Forgotten Ones."
"Wait, that old guy who asked if we knew his name?" Leo asked. "Well we should tell the others, come on."
"Right, let's get going." Luna said.

"This is crazy, you're sure this came from Goodwin's personal files?" Yusei asked.
"Positive, Is it helpful?" Trudge asked.
"Director Lazar was quite certain it had the information you needed, although there wasn't anything on that card of yours Crow." Mina said before handing him the card.
"Alright, this is still incredibly interesting, the only question is what it means." Jack said. "Thanks for all the help you two."
"No problem, we owe you a lot." Trudge said with a grin.
"Yeah, we'll keep in touch." Akiza said.
"Alright, well you guys stay safe." Mina said before leaving with Trudge.
"Now all we can do is wait for Luna and Leo to get back here." Yusei said just before a flash of light struck the ground and the twins appeared.
"We have a huge problem you guys." Luna said. "Zerlo's one of the Forgotten Ones, and he's evil."
"Yeah, he tried to steal Luna's connection to the Spirit World." Leo said.
"How is that even possible, no wait I don't want to know."Akiza said.
"Hold on a second, if he wanted Luna's power, maybe he doesn't have it himself." Jack said. "Maybe he's gotten weaker for some reason."
"That's a good point, but for now we should show Leo and Luna what Lazar found." Crow said.
"I agree, you two should take a look at these files." Jack said before handing Luna a folder. "This is really interesting."

"Things are progressing in a way I can't see the outcome, what do you think Levran?" asked the shadowy figure.
"I think we should place our trust in these humans, they are the only chance we have Ryosko." Levran said calmly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What the, what does that mean?" Leo asked when he saw the name of the file.
"It can't be, maybe we have a chance after all." Luna said while looking at the file's name, Crimson Potential.
(The signers have gathered information that Luna feels can help them, but Zerlo is preparing for something nobody will expect. Next chapter Zerlo will reveal his plan to recapture Luna, and gather his forces for his revenge. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
