Dark Mist's Revenge

The Darkness In Astral's Heart

"Embrace the darkness and together we can destroy Barian World and everything that stands in our way!" Dark Mist shouted, making Astral cry out as his body then changed.

The markings on his body turned dark.

His body was circled in an aura full of evil, and most of his skin was now black. Showing that the old Astral was gone.

Meanwhile, Yuma let out a small groan as he came too. With Dark Mist's power no longer attached to him, he could see clearly and think for himself once more.

However, as Yuma arose, he was shocked to see Astral's new form.

"Astral?" Yuma asked in concern, getting the attention of Dark Mist and Astral.

"Hello Yuma." Astral replied in a surprisingly dark tone. "Astral, what has happened to you?" Yuma had to ask, only instead of a reply, Astral flew over to Yuma, picking him up by his shirt and gazing wickedly into Yuma's panic filled eyes.

"Astral, what's going on? What has Dark Mist done to you?!" Yuma managed to say, which made Astral smirk darkly.

"He has given me more power than I could possibly imagine!" Astral announced wickedly, before he stated. "And it's all thanks to you."

Hearing that, Yuma asked in a confused tone. "Me?"

Dark Mist smirked and then replied, walking up to the struggling boy. "It was thanks to your lies and deception that allowed me to fill Astral's heart with my power. While Astral tried to resist, the darkness within his heart allowed my power to consume him."

Confused, Yuma asked. "What are you talking about?" "Vector told me everything. How you were foolish enough to place your faith in a Barian. How you kept secrets from Astral and how you drove Astral into the welcoming embrace of darkness."

Hearing that left Yuma in shock.

"Vector told you that stuff?" He asked, making Dark Mist nod.

"So I thank you again Yuma." Dark Mist replied, before he exclaimed. "Now say goodbye!"However, a bright light suddenly engulfed Astral, causing him to drop Yuma.

"What's happening?" Dark Mist questioned in demand as he shielded his eyes from the light with his right arm, along with Astral.

But while the light was blinding Dark Mist and Astral, it showed Yuma he had a chance to save Astral. As Number 39 materialized in his right hand.

"What's happening? I've got a chance to save Astral, and I'm not backing down!" Yuma stated.

"Please, you're in no position to challenge either of us." Dark Mist commented as the light died down. "You don't have Astral. You don't have the Numbers. You have nothing."

Yuma smirked. "Not all the Numbers." Yuma said, showing he was holding Utopia, shocking Dark Mist."I'm not sure how you got that Number, but don't get to attached to it because Astral's gonna take it from you." Dark Mist stated.

However, Yuma was filled with determination to save Astral and replied. "We'll just see about that. Get ready Astral, because I am so feeling the flow!"

With that, Yuma readied his duel disc and duel gazer. "Duel Disc, go! Duel Gazer, let's roll." While Yuma's duel disc and duel gazers were activated, a black version of Astral's fuel disc appeared on his arm, in which the pair called out. "Let's Duel!"
