The team decided to stay at a place near a beach for two nights.

Everyone slept for the night..but Kyohei even after a happy moment he still cannot get over his fear..
Kyohei's dream...
"Oh Team Ultra Burst was taken down by The Dimension Deities! Such a close match! Better luck next time!"
Kyohei saw Ruka crying to see us lose.
"No..I'm sorry I promise to be better!" He shouts seeing them go away farther and farther away.
"RUKA!"
He wakes up again, and heads outside under the moonlight.
"Why..why am I having these dreams?!" He asked himself crying in tears.
"Just why! We won regionals we should be happy! I just don't get it.."
Ruka peeks through the door to see Kyohei crying.
"Kyohei!" She yells running towards him.
"Are you okay, don't cry please it makes me sad." Ruka trying to comfort him.
"I just can't stop having these nightmares.."
Ruka sighs..
"I don't know why either, I still keep having these nightmares."
They both sat next to each other, and talking.
"Kyohei I just wanted to say...that I.."
"You what?"
"I..l-loved that I met you and being able to win a tournament together." Ruka blushes.
"Yeah I'm glad I met you too, its a long road ahead of us, but we will soon be one of the best!"
