Lyco

The scattered wolves were eventually resettled in the southern hemisphere, forming the new Wolf Pack Nation. When Lupe lead several armed wolves into the Mysterious Cat Country, Lyco was among them, brandishing a sword. She and her sister then followed Sonic and several of the Felidae people to the Mystic Ruins, where they engaged the resident Dark Egg Legion chapter. Upon removing the hood of one Legionnaire they had captured, Lyco was surprised to see the face of a Wolf who had been Leeta's ex-boyfriend and who had apparently gotten on the bad side of both sisters. Following the Wolf Pack victory, Lyco and her comrades welcomed Sonic the Hedgehog, Sally Acorn, and Big the Cat into the pack.

When the roboticized Princess Sally kidnapped both Lupe and Queen Hathor, tension between the Wolves and the Felidae rose anew. Team Freedom arrived to warn the locals of the Death Egg Mark 2, only to find Lyco and her sister, along with Lupe's children, secretly attempting to listen in on a meeting between the pack leaders who blamed the Felidae for Lupe's disappearance. After being informed of Sally's roboticization and the Death Egg's arrival, the group concluded that they would have to seek answers on their own. Lyco and Leeta agreed to lead Team Fighters to the local DEL's current base of operations -- the Temple of Shazamazon. However, while making their way through the Great Rainforest, they came across not only Legionnaires, but Queen Hathor. After fighting off the DEL, the group listened as Hathor explained that she and Lupe had both been held captive at the Temple, but Lupe had enabled Hathor to escape in order to try to find help.

Upon arriving at the temple, the group broke into two: Lyco, along with Hathor and Tails, entered the temple itself, with Tails breaking off to place a tracker on the Death Egg while Hathor led Lyco to the captive Lupe. The two found Drago Wolf gloating over Lupe, who was set to be Legionized; Lyco quickly sneaked up on Drago and delivered a vicious beating to the Grandmaster, rendering him unconscious before freeing Lupe. Announcing that they needed to regroup with Tails, Lyco lead the others outside, only to find Tails being attacked by Mecha Sally. However, as the Death Egg was about to launch, Mecha Sally gave them the option of leaving, instead of attempting to fight them all at once with risk of injury or death. As the Death Egg took off, the team attempted to cover Lupe's escape back into Wolf Pack territory; luckily, Hathor was able to rally the Felidae and Wolves together, and the two again managed to fight off the DEL. With the Grand Chief and Queen safe and the Death Egg on the move, Team Fighters quickly left -- leaving Lyco and Leeta to envy them having the ability to fight the Eggman Empire to make a difference to the world. Hearing this, Lupe explained that just before she'd been abducted, she'd received a particular request, and wanted to know if the twins would be interested in a secret mission.

Eager to repay Team Fighters for their help and to make a greater difference, Lyco and her sister quickly traveled to New Mobotropolis. However, their arrival was met with confusion; standing before the Council of Acorn, the twins were told by King Naugus that no request had been sent, and that their help was not wanted or needed. After being rudely dismissed, the two were then pulled aside by Sir Charles Hedgehog, who quickly and quietly brought them to Harvey Who. Harvey welcomed them and apologized for the confusion, saying that he was the one who'd sent the request. Lyco was confused, saying that they'd thought they'd been sent to serve the king of New Mobotropolis; Harvey clarified that their mission was to help the true king, Elias Acorn, regain the throne as part of the Secret Freedom Fighters. Convinced that Naugus was a threat to the people, Lyco and Leeta agreed to join the team.

Lyco was given the callsign "Queen of Hearts," and she was soon assigned the mission of investigating Naugus' activities within a cavern below the city. Lyco, along with Leeta (Agent Queen of Diamonds) and Elias (Agent King), followed Naugus down a massive pit and into a series of caverns. Lyco wondered why it seemed like Naugus was talking to himself, and while she and her sister discussed this, they were rudely interrupted by Elias, who was setting a bomb for their later exit. Not appreciating his attitude and apparent lack of trust in his teammates, the two berated him and them set off after Naugus on their own. Using a compass, Lyco determined that Naugus seemed to have constructed an odd chamber directly below the Military HQ. As they pondered the chamber's purpose, Naugus suddenly transformed into a monstrous form; caught by surprise, Lyco shrieked, alerting Naugus to their presence. She and Leeta raced back through the cavern, telling Elias their cover had been blown. The three them realized that Naugus was using his magic to reshape the cavern around them in order to trap them. Trying to find an exit, the three split up. Leeta was cornered by Naugus and nearly captured, but Lyco caught his attention, allowing her sister to get free; Naugus was momentarily confused by the near-identical appearance of the two agents, and this gave Elias a moment to catch up and throw a flash-bang grenade. The three found a proper tunnel and used the bomb placed earlier to blow an escape route; they jumped out into the pit, again engaging their wing-suits. The monstrous Naugus sent a barrage of wind after them and, thinking that they had fallen to their deaths, returned to his chamber, confident his secrets were safe.
