Since now that everyone had returned to Duel Academy from the other dimension, everyone had thought that it was over, they didn't need to worry however it was easy to notice that someone was gone - Jesse.
The brunette noticed, he seemed distraught without his friend. It seemed like he wanted to go back and find him, but how? It wasn't like anyone knew how to, it was bothering Rosa at how upset Jaden was about this and wanted to find his blue haired friend.
At night, Rosa sighs as she decides to take a walk - such events had been bothering her and it wasn't like her at all to have such events bothering her- but it really was and had stopped when seeing Jaden's friends run. Deciding to follow them she could see them wanting to go with him, but it seemed like Jaden didn't want to put them through anymore trouble than they already have - which they didn't seem to care about.
Using their duel monsters to make the portal large enough, a white light had engulfed them all. Now at another different dimension, the group wasn't exactly sure where they were but saw how Jaden went to rush in order to find Jesse quickly as possible. With Bastion meeting Tania again seemed to thrill him, she had explained that the weaker Duel Spirits had been enslaved by a group of Wing Beast monsters and Axel had developed a plan to take out their main power supply however Jaden has other ideas and rushes to challenge their main leader, Sky Scout.
Tania explains that in this dimension, that players take real damage; losing a duel results in being 'sent to the stars'. Jaden begins dueling Sky Scout, during this duel it allowed Axel to shut down the generator which allowed the other Duel Spirits to escape free.
As Sky Scout is defeated, he mentions to them someone named 'The Supreme King' before fading and being 'sent to the stars'.
When the group and Jaden decides to continue on, Bastion stays with Tania to 'supposedly' find out more information about the dimension they are in.
Leaving, they proceed onward and end up in an abandoned town - in the sky a comet is seem being flying across which so happens to affect Jim, with him claiming that the light hurts his eyes.
Seeing a young boy run out of one of the buildings, Jaden goes to run after him along with the group who follow after. Seeing the boy cornered by a duel monster - they could see that he was going to get rid of him however Jaden goes to duel him in order to save the boy's life.
Hassleberry asks his friend to duel instead, however Jaden doesn't want anyone to duel, fearing that he and his friends would lose and be 'sent to the stars'.
After Jaden defeats him, another duel monster appears; being named Sir Freed he scold's the boy for running off. Hearing more figures approached, Sir Freed tells them to follow him.
At the sanctuary which is contained in a hidden cave, the boy introduces Jaden and his friends to his sister - the sister tells them that they are from another alternate dimension who were dragged into the one they are in. She also tells him that the Dark World Army appears in legends in their dimension but actually exist in the one they are currently in.
The group of people that Sir Freed saved were mainly children, elderly and woman; Jaden decides to ask them about Jesse but no luck. When the group decides to leave, Sir Freed says that they should stay until the light of the comet fades.
One of the prisoner's escapes and was able to reach Sir Freed's sanctuary, the prisoner turns out to be the boy's father and tells Sir Freed that the prison camp is located under a cliff near the village and their comrades are still locked there.
Jaden also asks him about Jesse, the prisoner says that there was someone who resembles Jesse which leads for Jaden to go to save him and free the people locked there.
Running towards the prison camp, he sees that it's unguarded and enters it as he sees someone who seems like Jesse; to his dismay it was someone else who just looks similar to him. As the slifer tries to help the man escape he tells Jaden that the other prisoners were moved to another camp somewhere else.
The leader, Zure plans a trap which Jaden walked right into. Activating his duel disk, Jaden duels Zure. Sir Freed arrives as he moves the villagers and ends up sacrifices himself as his card goes to be in Jaden's deck.
Using the card effect of Freed, Jaden was able to win the duel and Zure's army flees. Since Freed's card fades away as well, Jaden vows to save Freed's comrades and Jesse as well.
As Zure disappears to the stars, he releases five small white orbs which transfer themselves to Atticus, Syrus, Hassleberry, Alexis and Chazz.
Each of the orbs with different emotions and begin to manifest such emotions into each person.
Everyone, annoyed at what he was doing and what he was doing in order to save Jesse, Rosa couldn't blame him. She felt bad for him and didn't want him to say anything yet.
At the main stronghold of the Dark World Army, his friends discuss the situation while still being frustrated at Jaden being so impulsive. Jaden goes off and rides a duel monster named Sonic Duck.
Using them to ride to the fortress, Jaden going on ahead while the others don't seem to like this and get thrown off while Syrus' takes him completely off track and elsewhere.
Four duel monster spirits confronts Chazz, Hassleberry, Alexis and Atticus who knock the four unconscious and bring them to Brron's Fortress.
As Jaden arrives at Brron's Fortress, the only ones that were with him were Axel, Jim and Rosa. Disliking Jaden's attitude, Axel and Jim decide to leave to find the others- wanting Jaden to stay until they return while Rosa decides to approach the Slifer male.
"Jim said ya had ta wait..."
She says to Jaden who keeps walking and didn't want to listen to what Jim told him.
"I don't have time to be waiting around Rosa, I need to act now and save Jesse."
Her golden hues looked down and feeling sad, knowing this wasn't the Jaden she knew last year- the one who was always so happy.
"How would ya even know if he's really there? Ya don't know that, he could be 'nywhere."
Jaden frowns hearing this and turns to stare at her, brown orbs locked to her golden eyes. She could see the guilt flowing through him, the burden and how much he really cares for his friends.
His head turns away so that his back is facing her, "you can stay here and wait for Jim and Axel. I'm still going anyway. I've always trusted my instincts and they were never wrong."
Seeing him head in now, she looks behind her having no clue when the two were going to return and follows behind.
