So no one gets confused here's a small little guide between the Astrals and the 96s
Dicoyua = Alternate Astral
Dark Mist = Alternate Version
Number 96 = Anime Version

Over the next few days, Dicoyua and Dark Mist explained to Yuma and the gang about the Mythyrian Numbers. But left out their connection to the Barian Emperors and Don Thousand, wanting them to figure that out on their own. Getting the first Number wasn't to difficult but the second Number however wasn't so easy.

"Well this is unexpected surprise, I wasn't expecting to see a copy of myself here." Number 96 says smirking at Dark Mist.

"Hand over the Number." Dark Mist says.

"You're going to have to duel me for it."

"Find by me."

The two 96s begin their duel with almost identical decks, though Dark Mist had on purposely mixed some of Dicoyua's cards with his own. As the duel unfolded Number 96 jabs at both his alternate version and Astral for putting their hopes in the hands of a human.

"You two put your hopes in the wrong place, you put your hopes in the hands of a human who swears he'll be your friend til the end. But the second he thinks it will do him some good, he'll lie to you, betray you." Number 96 says to both his alternate version and to his Astral.

'How does he know about that betrayal? Unless... of course, Vector told what happened.' Dark Mist thinks to himself.

Yuma who's stuck up on a high pedestal groans at remembering how he was tricked into hurting his best friend by Vector. Even though Dicoyua doesn't show it he remembers that time and old memories are stirred up like bad oysters.

'I still wish that betrayal never happened.' Dicoyua thinks to himself.

Dicoyua doesn't realize it yet but his old stirred up memories have gotten some else's attention besides his own.

'What is this I feel? Something seems to have stirred within that other Astral, I wonder...' Number 96 thinks to himself before bringing his focus back to the duel at hand.

As the duel drags on whatever stirred up in Dicoyua is slowly waking up more and more as time passes. Dark Mist has chosen not to use his Chaos Number and has opted to use Dicoyua's Number instead. Eventually the duel ends in a draw, with both Dark Storm and Utopia Ray destroying each other. But it wasn't a complete and total loss for Number 96 who has gained a Chaos form.

'My my, whatever has stirred within Astral is very dark and powerful. Might as well take it for myself since he won't put it to good use.' Number 96 thinks as he uses his new found abilities to lock Dicoyua in a red crystal.

Dicoyua yelp out of surprise as the crystal encases him.

"Hey let me out of here!" Dicoyua yells and bangs on the crystal with his feats trying to brake it.

"Dicoyua!" Dark Mist cries, he hurries to his side intending to brake the crystal to get him out.

"I don't think so!" Number 96 says and wave his hand send a blast of Chaos energy that hits Dark Mist.

Dark Mist lets out a cry of pain as he's hit with the blast, Yuma and Astral come to his aid.

"What do you want with Dicoyua?!" Yuma shouts.

"Your little friend here has some kind of dark power that I intend to claim for myself."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have any kind of power like that!" Dicoyua interrupts, feeling a bit dizzy from the Chaos that the crystal is made out of.

"While see about that Astral." Number 96 says with a smirk.

With that he turns and leaves through a portal with Vector following close beside him.

"N-no!" Dark Mist cries as he watches the crystal goes through the portal. He tries to follow but his injuries keep him from doing so along with Yuma and Astral holding him back.

"What are you doing? you can follow them you're hurt." Yuma says as he holds Dark Mist back.

"I have to save him Yuma!" Dark Mist pulls forward trying to get out of Yuma's grip.

"You can't go in your current condition they'll only hurt you more." Astral says helping Yuma to hold him back.

Number 96 and Vector come to a secluded part of the palace in Barian World. Astral seems to be okay if not a little dizzy still from the crystal.

"I don't see how Astral has any power in him let lone dark power." Vector says looking over Astral.

"Oh he has power, I can sense a dark presence attached to him. Now what that is and where it came from I have no clue, but I'm use Astral does.

"You sure? Astral didn't seem to know what you were talking about when you first mentioned it."

"Then he's trying to play the fool, he knows and one way or another we'll make him talk."

Astral watches Number 96 and Vector talk amongst themselves, still not sure what Number 96 is talking about.
