Epilogue

After the war between the earth, the astral world and the Barian world, the Barians decided to continue to live in peace on earth. Astral went back to the astral world because he had done his job on earth but they knew that one day they would see him again. The Barians were still worried that Don Thousend would somehow manage to return. If it won't be him then someday somebody else will definitely come and try to destroy the worlds for his own benefit.

They have all tried to be more careful since then. As a precaution, they went and hid all the number cards they had collected in a special place where no one could look and no one could know about it, except for themselves in the event that such an incident should repeat itself.

The Barians quickly began to befriend Shark's friends, since they weren't enemies anymore, it was easier for everyone to cope with.
Each of them went about their usual things even if something had changed in some. Kaito has since started taking care of the rumship and doing research on it.
As well as Ryo and Ryouga constantly hanging out with the Barians.
Only Yuma hadn't changed, he was happy as always, energetic and never gave up.
Which he proved well in the fight against Don Thousend.
They all looked ahead and hoped for peaceful times ...

It had now been three weeks since they went back to prison and arrived at school, but through everything that had happened they lost sight of each other more and more. They went their separate ways even at school and hardly spent any time together. What many of them enjoyed but others miss the time they spent together and all the adventures they shared.

Chapter.1 = distance

It was a very nice morning today, the sun was shining and the sky had a wonderful color constellation in a mixture of orange which flowed more and more into the color blue and then to purple.
This morning Tori was already on the way. She had agreed to plan an organization for an excursion that should take place in the coming weeks to bring all of her friends back together. They already had all the ideas for this, but they still lacked the understanding that they would come at all, which did not work as easily as they had thought.
In retrospect, when the lesson began, everyone found themselves together in the hall. When Tori called everyone in the class together and reported about the planning, her head swayed to her friends, she had noticed for a long time that everyone had changed very behaviorally, but she was unhappy with it.
She had tried for a while to persuade the others to meet again or to do something, but they did not respond. The only one who showed interest was Rio. Normally, Yuma would have agreed, but Yuma had not shown up at school since then. Even if Yuma was there, he would certainly have achieved more than she. But she didn't let herself be deterred from taking this trip with them because that was probably her only chance to bring her friends back together.

After class Rio went to Tori and said to her, "Tori, I know what you are up to with this action and I want to say that I would like to help with it. I know how difficult it is to watch our friends become more and more end-strangers it's hard even for me, so I decided to help you out who you want of course! "
Tori looked at Rio full of joy and agreed with her statement as well as that she was happy that not only she felt the situation.
During the break they both talked about the plan to get everyone back together but it was difficult to find a way to start at the moment.
You knew who you asked Shark about it and he would agree that the barians would be on board too.
Which is why they started there. Rio tried to talk to his brother about it the next day, but she never had the chance to really start a conversation with him. They were always interrupted by the others.
In contrast to Nasch, she had more luck with Kaito, he had at least said that he can understand her well in this view and that he would not help but would be willing to intervene in any problem.
They saw the only problem with Yuma.
They tried Yuma directly by visiting him after school.
When they got to the front door, Akari opened the door for them. She asked Akari if Yuma was there, they would like to see him. Akari said that she was in a hurry, but unfortunately Yuma was not there. When she Ak

ari then asked where Yuma was or when he would be back, she replied with the following "Unfortunately I can't answer where he had gone but I know that he said he will be back tomorrow so don't worry about him" and went afterwards.
She took Akari's words to heart and waited until then. It seemed like forever that she saw him last and also until the next morning she was curious whether Yuma would really come back to school. She was always determined to visit Yuma again after school she would not go alone, but her brother decided to accompany her. Although he wasn't really convinced of what Tori and Rio were up to, he also assumed that something much worse would happen soon, although they had already averted the great danger.
So he wanted to do all the possible things that would happen again personally to prevent it, whatever it was and his feeling had never disappointed him.
So this time they went to Yuma together to talk to him. When Akari opened the door again and they entered the building, they went straight to Yuuma's room without further ado. they noticed that he was not there and his things were lying around straight away. They also went to the attic where Yuma often lay in his hammock and just looked out the window.
They went up and they saw no Yuma there either. They easily rummaged through his things to find something that would tell where he was but they found no trace. They saw in one of his drawers that he had put the key of astral away. They could also see how it glowed slightly blue and yellow. Which shouldn't really be the case because there shouldn't be any reason that he activated himself because there was no longer any threat. They weren't sure, but they felt it would be safe to get the key yourself. In this sense, they hadn't thought about what Yuma would think about it, but they didn't care at the moment.
They went back only this time to the park where Ryouga and the Barians actually wanted to meet.

-The next day-

They went towards the school fees and that day they saw Yuma at the entrance with a teacher talking.
After their conversation they walked up to him where he was already standing there with a big big smile on his face and slowly turning to them. But this face was a little different from what they knew. Rio said "well, there again, we've already missed you". Everyone was together and stood before him he would be the last of them who was missing. Everyone was prepared that when they asked Yuma if he would be there, he would immediately agree and everyone could experience something together again, but it was unexpected for them. Yuma looked for a while with an expressionless face on the floor whereupon he immediately packed his backpack tightly together and slowly began to look into their eyes with a fake smile and replied "I'm sorry that you had to worry but em now a friend needed help lately so I helped him out a bit ".
To which Tori said "and for that you dropped out of school?"
Yuma's reaction to this was very reserved, as if he wanted to avoid going into more detail about why he had been missing for three weeks.
Yuma's friends asked him if he would like to help out with all of them on the drive to spend time together for one of the few times that they seem to have time. But although they thought that Yuma immediately jumped in on the train, it didn't happen that he gave no answer. The only thing he did was give you a little smile and said I'm sorry people, I would like to help, but at the moment I still have a lot to do about the school ".
But they had at least asked if he would come the next few days, whereupon he says with a smile on his face anyway, of course, I can see you again then.

-Later-

During one of the breaks, the Barians met in the break area - they had a few things to talk about. Everyone was present except Gilag, who was stopped by a few students. They mainly talked about things they didn't like.
So everyone should report something about whether someone had noticed something like that in order to always be on the right side that nothing strange happened but that was actually nothing new for Hearland City. After all five shared their observations, Gilag came to them. Since the Barians had no secrets from one another, Gilag told what he had heard.
He told that he smell earlier.

I noticed that an old student should come back to the school who was leaving the city and now that he came back recently, he is changing again. He also mentioned that nobody knows who he is and what his name is, you could only tell that a student was assigned to him, but why you didn't know either. And the teachers only kept silent about this Tehma when they were asked about it. It was only announced that this student was absent for three weeks.
Alit said "three weeks is but a long time, and that's not the time since we've been here what if ..."
Mizael said, "Hey there comes to my mind, has anyone seen Vector since then?
The crazy one is apparently swallowed up by the ground if no one had seen him close who knows what he's up to! "
They all wondered when and where they could last have seen Vector.
They didn't understand why Vector was distant from them even though they knew Vector, he was a sadist who likes to torment others to have fun with it. Still, they shed their Barian side and thereby some of their behaviors, which in their eyes did not seem to apply to Vector.
The break was slowly coming to an end and they began to walk in the direction of the building. They stood in the direction of the classroom. Rio and Nasch saw Yuma come out of one of the halls with one of the teachers and watched him, they stood far enough away that Yuma didn't notice them, but they could hear some of the conversation but only a fraction of it all so that they didn't really could do a lot with it.
From what they heard, they had formed the assumption that Yuma might be the assigned person.
Although she wouldn't be surprised, he is friendly, helpful and loyal to everyone, even if he didn't know her, it would be typical Yuma. They tried not to think about it too much precisely because they knew Yuma so well.
Ryouga wanted to try to talk to Yuma again after class, but he didn't see him anywhere on the school grounds.
Rio suggested that it would be best to stop by the Tsukumos first and if yuma wasn't there they used this to ask Akari if she knew anything. They accepted Rio's suggestion because they were of the opinion that there would be clues.
When everyone already arrived and Akari asked them in, Yuma's friends looked at Akari and confessed that they had come here to see if Yuma was here because they couldn't find him after the class. Akari sniffed lightly and said that he had been there with a friend for a while, but that he would have left the dust straight away. But then Akari said with a little smile on her face that she doesn't worry about Yuma at all or that she has to worry. She also said that he is a little idiot but trusts him when it comes to his friends.
Yuma's friends were a bit confused when Akari said that he was away with a friend since all of his friends he knew normally didn't know where he was at the moment. Besides, he had spoken of a friend and not a friend, which she also did not understand. She would never lie to the Yuma Yuma would never lied to them all...!

Or?...
