Season 3[]
In "Turning Point", Despite not wanting to be part of his plans to conquer the Multiverse, she and Lady Olivia have no choice, but to remain loyal to Andrias out of fear. She and Olivia are ordered to take Marcy to rejuvenation Tank in order to save her life. Unaware to her and Olivia, Andrias has plans for Marcy once she heals.
In "Olivia & Yunan", which focuses on her and Lady Olivia, where Weeks have passed, Yunan continued serving Andrias out of fear as the mad King's robotic forces have started strip mining all of Amphibia's natural resources. At one point, she and Olivia have been summoned by Andrias and noticed that he has isolated himself in his quarters, once they peek on him, they see him supposedly talking to himself (In reality, he was talking to the Core, his master.) about how things are progressing and testing a device in someone, which she found freaky. Andrias later invited her and Olivia and gave them the news that they have been promoted: Olivia is ordered to oversee the construction of the refineries that will drained all of Amphibia's natural resources. Yunan is ordered to round up some Frogs to work in these factories. Andrias even order them to terminate those who resisted and then dismisses them.
Upon exiting, Yunan catches Olivia talking about committing treason against Andrias, she appears to report her to Andrias, but instead took her to another part of the castle and reveals she wants in. Yunan knows Andrias is going too far and believes he is losing his mind and despite her loyalty and being her king, she will never serve a tyrant like him. Yunan and Olivia have decided to rebel, but the only problem is, Anne and the Plantars have been gone for weeks, but Yunan is reluctant to save Marcy as she sees Humans as "scheming backstabbers". However, Olivia still trusts Marcy and since Marcy was the only one who defeated Andrias at Flipwart, if they rescue her, they can work on a plan to overthrow Andrias and save Amphibia. Yunan informs her that Marcy is being held in the basement, no one is allowed down there and there have been rumors she is being guard by a horrifying monster.
After avoiding Andrias' Frobots in the hallway, they arrived in Marcy's bedroom where Olivia opens a secret doorway on the floor that leads to the basement. As they journey, they come upon creatures from other worlds that the castle's previous rulers took prisoners years ago. They then reach a door that had eight Amphibian figures with glowing eyes and one in the center, Olivia inform Yunan its where Marcy is being held and there will be no going back now. As she and Yunan pushed the door open, they spotted Marcy still in the Rejuvenation Tank and placed in some mech suit while she was in there. They walk to it, Yunan then climbs up, pulls her out, placed her on the Floor, as she and Olivia removed the tubes connected to her body and the suit, and then removed the oxygen mask which cause Marcy cough and woke her from her coma.
Yunan started being rough with Marcy because she was out of state until Lady Olivia told her to be gentle. She and Yunan started to carried Marcy until they were surrounded by mist, then there was a flash of light and found themselves outside until Olivia saw what appeared to be Olivia's monster who turned into a monster made of pollution. Marcy points to her they are in VR, and she tells her it's not real until a projection of Grubhog appeared and admitting that she's been afraid of them since she was a little girl. The Grubhog then turn into a monster along with others which chased after her until she discovered eyes were projecting their fears. Yunan, Olivia, and Marcy then destroy them and cheer.
Just as they are about to leave, King Andrias stops them and tells them they have must to discuss, he then reveals they were being watch the whole time revealing an eye on his crown. Then, a giant mechanic robot with multiply eyes appears, let's out a loud speech and then grab Marcy by the face and place her on a chair. Olivia wanted to know what he was doing to Marcy while Yunan demanded the evil king to stop as she called the latter a maniac. Andrias revealed the machine is called the Core and it's a collection Amphibia's greatest minds and have been using the creatures from the basement to preserve their life. Andrias reveals the Core needs Marcy as its host because she was deemed the best, the smartest, and the only one who can beat Andrias at Flipwart. Yunan and Olivia are forced to watched in horror as the Core begins possessing Marcy shocking the duo.
All Yunan can do is give the King a hateful glare as he tells the Core will finally lead Amphibia to their destiny as the Core has now fully possessed Marcy.
In "The Beginning of the End", it's revealed General Yunan, and Lady Olivia were captured and forced to wear mind-controlled collars to serve both Andrias and the Core. While Anne, Sasha, Grime, Frobo and the Plantars continued on their mission to get the Calamity Box and free Marcy, the mind-controlled Newts drop in to stop them. Sprig tried to reason them, only for Hop Pop to remind him that they are wearing mind-controlled Collars.
