Changes

== Summary ==

Night has fallen over [[Heartland City (ARC-V)|Heartland]] as the [[Allen Kozuki|red-haired boy]] leads [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]], [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]], [[Gong Strong|Gong]], and [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] up a massive staircase. Yuya and Sylvio are both out of breath after they reach the top, and the red-haired boy states that they've arrived at [[Duel Sanctuary (ARC-V)|their hideout]], gesturing to a rounded building. Once the [[Lancers]] and [[the Resistance]] members are inside, they sit on mats around an earth square with the red-haired boy, who formally introduces himself as Allen Kozuki. He points to the bespectacled girl who is handing soup rations and introduces her as [[Sayaka Sasayama]]; a member of the Resistance. Allen calls out to Sayaka and reminds her that she isn't on duty to serve food that night, and that she shouldn't push herself. Sayaka hesitantly agrees. Allen mutters that they don't know when their battle with [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] could start up again and points out that he's always telling her to be more concerned about herself, isn't he? Sayaka reassures him that she knows and she turns to hand a man his rations. rations. [[File:AllenWithLancers.png|thumb|right|[[Allen Kozuki|Allen]] sits with the [[Lancers]].]] Allen apologizes, explaining that Sayaka is simply shy; it's not that she dislikes the Lancers. Sylvio takes a gulp from his drink and comments that Allen has been quite welcoming on the other hand; they've only just met and he's already speaking to Sylvio so informally. Gong tells him to cut it out and grabs Sylvio's head. As Sylvio struggles in Gong's headlock, Yuya notices the family that he, Gong, and Sylvio saved in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V - Episode 100|previously]]. The kids wave and the mother bows in thanks, and Shay explains that the family told them where they were as Sylvio passes out. Shay states that the family wanted to thank Yuya for teaching them the true meaning of Dueling while fighting off the soldiers of Duel Academy. But Yuya laments internally that he wasn't able to open [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite's]] heart through their Duel. Bringing out "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion]]", [[Yuto]]'s monster, caused Kite's heart to waver, but… Yuto appears behind Yuya and he muses that Kite's hatred for Duel Academy is running deep throughout him.
