Many months later, Astral and Black Mist still lived. Since they destroyed the records of them ever being made, they were able to live in peace. Astral had mastered the elements of wind, fire, lightning, and water, and he gained the earth ability when he and Yuma had gone rock climbing with Kazuma Tsukumo. When Astral fell, the earth had given him that power. Right now, they were camping with Kazuma and Mirai.
"This is such a clear night," commented Black Mist, who could barely be seen because it was so dark.
"I have never seen a night like this either," Astral agreed. He lit a small fire in his hands, liking the heat it brought.
"Looks like you were right, guys," Yuma said. "Since you destroyed all evidence that you exist, no one but us know. Now, you can live in peace."
"Yeah," Black Mist sighed. "Peace at last."
Astral nodded and closed his eyes, remembering the chorus to New Year's Day:
"This is new year's day,
So rise from the ashes!
Faith will find a way
Like lightning crashes!
We'll keep marching on and on and on
It's new year's day,
So rise from the ashes!"
