 'I can't believe that Shark is the head honcho of the Barians.' Yuma takes a step behind.   

Celeste flies with Nebula to where her friends are. 'Are you sure, Nebula?' 

'Yes, miss Celeste.' The robot answers. 

She lands next to the small group and can see Kite laying on the ground. 

'This is so messed up.' Yuma finds it hard to believe. 

Another energy comes from the portal. 

Neith stands with the others. Opposite of Yuma and his friends. 

'Who is that?' 

'Our newest Emperor.' 

 She hears that Astral talks to Yuma about a memory that he was a witness to. To see that Celeste comes closer. 

'I thought there were only seven Barian Emperors.'   

 Celeste can't believe her eyes. 'O thank god,' mumbling she wants to go but someone stops her. 

'I wouldn't do that, Celeste.' Tori saw that her friend wanted to walk away. 

Neith knows that Celeste will recognize her while she's next to Dumon. 

'Shark is still my friend and I'm not gonna fight him.' Yuma sees Celeste and back up to Shark. 'Celeste no.' 

'Let go.' Celeste pulls her hand lose and runs toward the Barians. Right into the arms of her sister. 'You disappeared.' 

Neith puts her arms around her sister. 'I always come back.' For her, this is the moment to find out if Nash spoke the truth and she finds his eyes. 

Nash nods to her and directs his attention back to Yuma. 'Astral is right. We are what we are.' 

'Hold on, who are you?' Tori interrupts quickly with her eyes on the other Barian, who hasn't been introduced. 

'There is no need. That's Neith.' Kite knew when the girl ran to a Barian woman. 

As one, they all look at Celeste, who seems relieved by the Barian. 

'I thought you were gone.' Celeste knows that she is safe with her sister. No matter what her sister looks like. She smiles faintly to Dumon. 

'Never, I made a promise, remember.' Neith can hear that Nash continues to talk to Yuma. 

'Shark, if you're a Barian you might think the bond we had is broken but I'm gonna duel you and prove that it's stronger than ever.' Yuma's necklace glows up. 

Nash's necklace too and they seem to connect. 

It takes a moment but Yuma falls back with Tori yelling his name. 

All at the same time, Nash is on one knee and seems in pain. 

'Nash?' Marin is worried about him. 

Softly, Neith squeezes the hand of her sister as insurance to know that she's safe and okay. Explosions follow and when the smoke clears, Yuma and his friends have disappeared. 

'After them.' Nash commands. 

Immediately, they leave and she's alone with Nash, Dumon, and Celeste. 'You keep your promise.' 

'I have a sister myself and I wouldn't want to lose her.' Nash looks at his friend. 'Stay close to Dumon. Neith will make sure that you both are safe.' After that, he goes away. 

'Follow me.' Dumon takes off to find Yuma. 'Don't let go of her hand.' 

Celeste nods. 'Thank you.' Not that she wants to let go.
