Changes

Tears in his eyes, [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] wails, scarcely believing that [[Trey]] and [[Quinton]] are gone. His voice cracks and he bemoans the fact that they sacrificed themselves to give Yuma and [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]] more time. He wails in anguish, but has no time to mourn. A red light streams towards the [[Different Dimension Airship]], passing over the deck before circling back. [[Tori Meadows|Tori]] tells Yuma something is coming after them. Within the red light is [[Alito]]. "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]" materializes and punches the front of the airship, knocking Yuma and Tori overboard, with [[Astral]] following. Sometime later, they regain consciousness and find themselves on a stretch of highway. Around them, other remnants of roads peek up from the landscape. Yuma asks where they are and Astral speculates that they are between dimensions somewhere. The red light returns and crashes into the ground. Alito materializes from it and asks if Yuma really intended to leave him behind, as they still have a score to settle. Yuma insists he will not fight him.

Alito asks when Yuma changed enough that he would refuse to fight the enemy of his friends and adds that "that big oaf" must be spinning in his grave right now. Yuma realizes he's referring to [[Nistro]]. Alito says he was quite a passionate person, unlike Yuma's current state. Yuma tells him that Nistro was the hope of many children. Alito responds that he did say a bunch of stupid things like that during their Duel. As Nistro stared down "Comet Cestus", Alito had asked if he really wanted to continue. Nistro yelled that he had to, as the hopes of children across the world were on his shoulders. Alito tells Yuma he crushed their hopes to tiny pieces. Yuma asks what has happened to Alito - he never used to be this kind of person. Alito seems confused, insisting he's always been like this. Astral tells him he used to be like Nistro - a man who carried the hopes and dreams of children on his back. Alito queries if Astral was referring to the legends of the [[Number ruins|ruins]]. Astral confirms this and Alito thinks back, remembering his fight against an axe-wielding opponent at the colosseum. The children in the audience cheered him on as he dodged the man's attacks and defeated him with one punch to the face. Astral tells him those memories are his true ones from his life as a human being - where he gave hope to children just as Nistro did.
