While the group was getting their bearings having returned to Thule and recovering from the loss of World B3, Viola was still in hot pursuit of Luka, even as it was getting colder the higher she climbed the mountain. She held herself as she saw two windows into World B3 disappear. She immediately knew that there wasn't much time left before Tormal and Singularity had enough power in their grasp to wipe out the Trinity of Realities, and the entire Color-Verse along with it. She then felt a crunch as she stepped on something.

"The hell?!" Viola asked as she noticed a trail of stained glass fragments on the ground. Were they left behind as Luka was rampaging all across the island transformed into Strider? "What is this?" she asked before hearing a howl. "Luka!" she said before spotting a strange sphere of light. "What's that light? It's strange, but I feel like it's calling me…" she said as she followed it and fought Homunculi along the way as she soon reached the Multiverse Portal Generator and found herself in The Ginnungagap as it took on a red glow and was slowly falling apart. "Looks like this could go at any minute… I'd better pick up the pace or else…" she said as she hurried through and chased after the strange orb before a new Homunculus blocked her way. It looked similar to the Tuba except it was designed more for above ground combat.

Viola quickly dealt with it and continued after the Orb as she entered the portal and found herself in a strange forest before spotting a mysterious man and quickly hiding behind a tree as she peeked out.

"Woman, hail you from the same sphere as that beast-man?" the man asked. He had long white hair as his appearance was regal-like as a blue glow emanated from his body.

"..L-Luka?" Viola asked back.

"Luka. So he is called Luka." the man said. "I am Lukaon." he said, turning to Viola with pure white eyes.

"What is this place? And where did Luka go?" Viola asked.

"He no longer tarries here. That beast-man is surely my else-fellow. It seems we were drawn together across the world-walls to find each other here." Lukaon said.

"Drawn together? Then what am I doing here?" Viola asked.

"It appears as though you also share a bond most deep with us. A bond of blood perhaps? Brother and sister…or something more." Lukaon said before teleporting in front Viola. "Woman… I know you…" he said before looking up. "The voice…calls to me…" he said before turning into an orb and began flying away.

"Wait! What are you saying? Don't go!" Viola said as the area changed around her as she soon found herself in Paris near the Arc De Triomphe. "Is Luka here too?" she asked as she began approaching the landmark and saw a blood red moon before quickly turning behind her and blocking an incoming attack from Strider before kicking him over as he charged at her and launched her back before holding his head in pain.

"...Kid? Get back…now!" Strider said as Viola readied herself. "Stay away! The voice…it's in my head again!"

"Voice? Whose voice?" Viola asked.

"It's…my voice! Another me, in my head…since…I was a kid!" Strider said, attacking ferociously with all his might.

"Your voice? Could it be…" Viola pondered as she struck back against Strider to try and calm him down.

"But is this…really me? Is this…the truth?" Strider asked as he and Viola continued fighting before Strider roared and charged at Viola before grabbing her and tossing her on to the top of the Arc De Triomphe.

The two continued their clash before Strider clashed with Viola as she blocked each of his attacks before leaping into the air and delivering a fierce headbutt to his head.

Viola rolled across the landmark before standing up as she found herself at the edge as Strider approached. "Luka…please…stop! I don't want to hurt you!" she said before sheathing her sword. "We might be from different worlds, but I know you feel it. It's me… I'm your…" she tried to say before Strider roared and sent her falling off the landmark into the clouds below.

From farther away, Tormal watched, surprised at what Viola was about to say.

"So that's why she chose to interfere…." Tormal said.

Tormal wasn't the only one watching Viola and Strider's battle, as Sage was there too, and she couldn't believe it herself.

"Her too… she has the connection of family…." Sage realized.
