Three years had passed since Yuina's rematch with Edo and her first meeting with Yuri and in that time, she had been focusing intently on her studies of the other summoning mechanics, Synchro and Xyz, in case she was to ever be given an assignment in one of those two dimensions. However, one day an unfamiliar boy with blue hair sucking on a lollipop walked over to her.
"You're Yuina right?" the boy asked her. "The girl who uses Unseal Summoning right?"
Blinking Yuina turned to the boy before nodding. "Yeah, and you're… Sora? Top of our class?"
The boy smirked. "That's right, actually I came because the Professor himself wanted to talk to both of us about something. You know that can only mean one thing, right?"
Yuina's eyes widened in shock before nodding. "Right, we shouldn't leave the Professor waiting Sora. This could be vital to achieving our goals."
Sora only nodded as Yuina grabbed her deck and necklace before putting it on as she quietly placed a hand over it before walking out of the room with Sora.
"Hey, do you mind if I ask you something?" he asked suddenly.
Blinking Yuina turned to him. "No, what is it?"
"Your necklace, where did you get it?" Sora asked turning to look at the hexagram necklace Yuina was wearing. "It's definitely unique and it has something to do with Unseal Summoning, doesn't it?"
"This…" Yuina started placing a hand on her necklace as she closed her eyes. "It was a gift from my mom before she died."
Sora's eyes widened slightly. "That, I didn't know. Still, you can make her proud by helping the Professor with his goals, right?"
"Exactly, I might not be the best duelist but with my Unseal Summoning I'll definitely be able to help the Professor." she agreed as they reached the door to the Professor's chambers and walked in before the two of them kneeled respectfully.
"Sora and Yuina, I've been expecting you." the Professor noted calmly. "I have a task for the two of you. You are to go to the Standard Dimension and locate the target for Yuri."
"Huh, both of us are going to the Standard Dimension?" Sora asked hearing that.
"Yes, while I have no doubt you can locate the target on your own Sora the fact is that while her dueling skills have improved, we've yet to determine how Yuina will fair outside of the Fusion Dimension." the Professor explained calmly. "A second pair of eyes will benefit you in locating the target and her lack of Fusion Summoning can be used as evidence you're not from the Fusion Dimension."
Yuina blinked hearing that. "So… I'm going to practice using my cards in another Dimension and… to be Sora's alibi in case something goes wrong?"
"Correct." the Professor nodded calmly. "We can't afford any unexpected complications at this point, make your preparations and be ready to head to the Standard Dimension as soon as possible."
"Alright." Sora nodded. "Just leave everything to us Professor."
The Professor nodded calmly as Sora and Yuina turned and left the room.
"Do you think there's a reason the Professor was so worried about the Standard Dimension?" Yuina inquired.
"I doubt it, he's probably just on edge because we're so close to completing the Arc-Area Project." Sora suggested. "Once we find Yuri's target the plan will finally be completed."
Yuina couldn't help but smile hearing that as she placed a hand on her necklace.
"Anyway, I have a few things to do before we head out so let's meet up at the main dueling field." he mentioned.
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I'm ready." Yuina agreed as the two of them went to their respective rooms to prepare for their mission in the Standard Dimension.

Thirty minutes later Yuina was waiting in the main dueling hall for Sora as she took a few slow deep breaths.
"Are you sure you're up for this?" asked a voice from behind her as she turned to see Sora with a lollipop in his mouth and a bright grin. "This isn't a test; it's going to be the real thing. We're about to head to another Dimension after all."
"I remember." Yuina nodded. "I might not be the best duelist, but I can hold my own… and you're the best student in our class Sora so I'm sure everything will work out."
Sora shrugged at that. "That's true, so are you ready to go?"
Yuina closed her eyes as she placed her hand over her necklace again only to slowly nod. "Yeah, I'm ready."
Sora grinned hearing that as he and Yuina activated their duel disks and vanished in a blue glow before arriving in an alley in an unfamiliar city as they looked around only to almost immediately notice a large building in the distance.
"LDS, that must be this Dimension's Duel School." Sora noted. "I'm going to check it out, try to keep a low profile and maybe practice a duel or two with some of the locals. If anything comes up send me a message and we'll find somewhere to meet up."
Yuina blinked before nodding. "Right, the Professor and everyone back home is counting on us succeeding in this mission."
Sora only grinned before walking out of the alley and towards the LDS building as Yuina waited a minute before walking out of the alley and heading in the opposite direction only to notice a crumpled-up piece of paper next to a garbage can which she picked up only to see it was a form to enroll at a place called the You Show Duel School.
"A duel school, maybe I can put my cards to the test there and I can also see how strong the residents of this Dimension are for Sora." Yuina whispered before taking the form and starting to head to this You Show Duel School.
(Yuina and Sora have arrived in the Standard Dimension as part of the Arc-Area Project in order to locate the final target for Yuri. Next chapter Yuina will arrive at the You Show Duel School. As always any reviews or critique is appreciated.)
