Just as they went toward Duel Academy, Declan proceeds to explain their plan of action as Leader of the Lancers.
"We still don't know exactly how my father intend to unite the dimensions, but it's obvious it has something to do with the four girls, so rescuing Zuzu, Rin and Lulu is our number one priority, at least we manage to keep Celina safe, but we better watch out, we don't know what dangers are awaiting us so keep you your focus sharp!" Declan ended his speech.
"I'll keep Celina safe, don't worry about that!" Yuya said with a brave expression.
"I don't want to play the part of the damsel in distress guys, I'll be in the frontline too, I own that to Zuzu!" Celina argued, even if deep within she appreciated his care.
"We trust your dueling abilities Celina, but it's better to stay in groups, in this way we will always a tecnical advantage over any potential threat" Declan said pointing out a smart strategy.
"We are getting close guys!" Said Sora interjecting.
Indeed Duel Academy was in sight, only some kilometers separated them from it.
Some moments later they finally stopped beside the docks, and got off the vehicle.
"Now we split up in groups, I'll go ahead and confront my father directly with Riley" Declan announced.
"I'll go and make some rumble myself!" Crow said mounting his runner and speeding off.
"Same here, they won't know what hit them!" Sora followed Crow's lead.
"We will get to the towers, we know that Lulu and Rin are kept there. Shay, Kite and Yugo are probably there already, and maybe we'll find Zuzu too along the way." Yuya said.
"I doubt about it, she was probably taken elsewhere, also that treacherous guy named Yuri will be here as well, we got to keep our guard up!" Celina pointed out.
"Good luck Lancers, let's do our best!" Declan said as they split up and went opposite ways.
"Be careful Yuya, this will be extremely dangerous" Yuto warned in his mind.
"I know but we won't give up no matter what" Yuya told him.
"Always keep Celina by your side, we can't allow them to take her!" Yuto also reminded Yuya.
"Sure, I won't let them lay a finger on her" Yuya responded.
"I know I can count on you, please help my friend Lulu as well." Yuto said before giving in to rest.
"Don't worry Yuto" Yuya thought to himself.
"Let's speed up" Celina said making him come back to his senses.
"Yeah, let's go!" Yuya agreed as they run towards one of the towers.
Mainwhile in a dark room of the Academy a person was spying on them through some cameras, he had a sinister smirk on his face.
"Yes, go ahead to see your friends, there won't be any happy reunion sadly for you, right Zuzu?"
The so called Doctor spoke while laughing maniacally.
And behing him was Zuzu, with a completely absent stare, who then quickly answered.
"Yes, master" Her stare then twisted in a sinister smile.
"Excellent" Said the doctor while admiring his work.
