Chapter 1: Shu the Antagonizer
Chapter 2: A Relic from the Past
Chapter 2: A Relic from the Past
October 1888
*Seven years have passed since the fight between Valt and Shu, and their fighting has long stopped at this point in time. They became good friends as brothers. On Valt’s 16th birthday, his father, Kento Aoi, gave him a Beyblade for his birthday. Valt called the Beyblade Valkyrie, after the type of female warrior in Norse mythology. After that, Valt decided to get into Bey Ball, a sport similar to Soccer, or Football for people outside of the US. Shu joined soon after. Over time, Valt became the best on his team. At this time, they had a finals match, and Valt’s team were giving it their all*
Shu: “Get Valkyrie to pass the ball to Spriggan, Valt!”
Valt: “Will do!”
*Valkyrie was having a hard time passing the ball with the opposing team’s beys blocking Valkyrie. More and more of the opposing beys were blocking Valkyrie’s way*
Shu (thinking): Come on, Valt, think of something.
*Just then, Valkyrie started moving forward, despite the beys that were blocking its path, Valkyrie kept pushing, the opposing beys still blocking its path. Valkyrie started to lose stamina, and Valt’s team began to lose hope. Eventually, Valkyrie burst the opposing beys all at once, and passed the ball to Spriggan. With only a few opposing beys left on the field, they scrambled to stop Spriggan, but it was too late. Spriggan did a flip and smashed the ball into the goal, giving the win to their team. Valt’s team cheers loudly and runs over to Valt and Shu*
Shu: “You did great out there, Valt! That was a pretty unexpected play.”
Valt: “Thanks! You did great too.”
*Valt’s team was all over him and Shu. Shu’s preciseness as well as success when it came to things like Bey Ball lead him to graduating top of the class in chemistry. Valt, on the other hand, had a head for strategy, and his determination led him to graduating high in criminal justice*
‘At the Aoi Mansion’
*Kento was sick in bed, and his condition was getting worse. Valt and Shu visited him after graduation to check up on him*
Valt: “Are you doing ok, father?”
Kento: “I’m doing ok. My fever has gotten much worse, though, and I have had to have a doctor come check up on me, as well as Valor.”
Shu: “We brought you some tea, if you’d like some.”
Kento: “Just set it on the table beside the bed. I’ll drink it in a bit.”
*Shu sets the tea on the table beside the bed*
Kento: “I heard about your victory today, Valt and Shu. Congratulations. I’m just so surprised how far you two have come. It feels like Just yesterday you two were boys who couldn’t get along with each other. Now here you two are, graduating school.”
*Kento continued to talk with his sons for a little bit longer, and decided to rest after that*
‘That night, at the Aoi Mansion’
*Valt decided to experiment with the relic that had been hung in his house for years. It made no sense to Valt why his father kept it in the house, and figured it had to have some kind of importance*
Valt (thinking): This relic has been in the family house for years. I swear I remember blood making it fall off the wall. Does it have some reaction to blood?
*Valt cut his finger slightly, and dropped a drop of blood on the relic. The relic a few seconds later extended out, and became twice as long as previously. About 30 seconds later, it returned to normal length*
Valt: “Interesting, but I need more info on it. Maybe a book in the Aoi Mansion has info?”
*Valt began looking through some books, trying to find one with information on the relic. While going through a book, a note fell out of it*
Valt: “What’s this?”
‘Dr. John
I think the poison you gave me is working. The symptoms start with a small fever but becomes more severe as the days go on, just as you said. He’s also losing his ability to walk as well, as you said could be a major symptom. As this note is being written, my father is on his deathbed. He should be dead within a few hours of writing this note.
Sincerely, Shu Kurenai.’
Valt (Thinking): Shu killed his own father? More concerning, these symptoms are the same ones my father has. Does that mean...that Shu is trying to kill my father? I’ll need to confront him tomorrow and make sure he doesn’t give any more poison to my father if he is, or he’ll die.
‘The next day’
*Shu was taking some more tea to his “father”, like yesterday. Valt decided to confront Shu then*
Valt: “Hey Shu, can I inspect that sugar packet?”
Shu: “Why would you want to do that?”
Valt: “I think you know why.”
*Valt attempts to take the sugar packet, but Shu grabs his arm before he can grab it*
Shu: “You’re going to regret trying to do that”
*Shu tried to bend Valt’s arm backwards, but Valt grabbed Shu’s arm with his ither arm and bent it back. Valt then grabbed the sugar packet and let go of Shu*
Valt: “You poisoned your father with this kind of stuff, and now you’re trying to poison mine!”
Shu: “That’s a very big accusation, Valt. I wouldn’t just say things like that without evidence.”
Valt: “Here’s your evidence for killing your father!”
*Valt held up the letter. Shu was shocked Valt had the letter*
Shu: “My father was a drunk who deserved to die. Listen, Valt, just put the sugar packet back and forget about all this. Why would I want to poison a father who’s taken care of me for years?”
Valt: “If you really aren’t trying to poison him, swear on it!”
*Shu began to break into a hot sweat, knowing he would reveal something if he tried to. Instead, he set the tea down and lunged towards Valt with great strength. Shu pressed Valt against the railing of the top floor*
Shu: “You can’t prove anything. You’ll get your lesson for messing with me.”
*Shu attempted to throw Valt down to break his back, but failed, Valt overpowering him and instead Shu being flipped and dropped onto the bottom floor with a slamming sound*
Valt: “I’m sure of it now, Shu. Just wait. In three days, I’ll be back here to prove your attempt at murder and send you to jail!”
*Valt ran out the front door of the Aoi Mansion after telling Valor where he would be going*
Shu: “You may have gotten away for now, but soon enough I’ll find you and kill you before you get me arrested.”
*Shu inspected the notes of Valt’s, and figured out what the relic could do*
Shu: “If I used this relic and press it into Valt’s heart while it has blood on it, it’ll kill him in an instant.“
‘That night’
*Shu had gotten word that Valt was heading to Lost Rd, which Shu knew Valt probably would not make it out of, so he decided to refrain from trying to kill Valt for now*
‘In London’
*Valt had rode to the nearby town by train, and was trying to find a doctor that could test the sugar for poison. Unfortunately, he would have to go through Lost Rd, a road where many would go missing, hence the name. It was snowing relatively hard, and show covered the ground*
Valt (Thinking): This is the road. It should be around five buildings ahead of me to the right.
*Just then, a man ran towards him a launcher something. It turned out to be a Beyblade aiming for Valt’s head. Valt was backed in between two buildings, but had come prepared, and took out his launcher as well as Valkyrie, and launched. Valkyrie collided with the opposing Beyblade, making the opposing Beyblade fall into the snow. Valkyrie hit the ground, and bounced back up into the man’s face, knocking him onto the ground*
Valt: “That could’ve been bad.”
*Two more men came running towards Valt, the one to the left launching another Beyblade. Valt quickly grabbed Valkyrie and launched again, smashing into the opposing Beyblade and threw it on the other side of the road. The man to the right with a bowler hat then launched his Beyblade, Valkyrie slamming head on with it, but was pushed back with a lot of force. Valt quickly held up a defense stance, and Valkyrie slammed into Valt’s knuckles and dug into them. Valt thought quickly and before the opposing Beyblade could throw Valt off his feet, Valt threw his hands, stuck in the defensive position, down onto the opposing Beyblade, causing it to fly into the air, the man catching it with his bare hands, but threw him onto the ground. Just then, a whole crowd of what looked like more enemies started walking towards Valt*
Valt (Thinking): This isn’t good. How am I gonna get out of this mess?
*The crowd got closer and closer, Valt knowing he would have to do something about it very soon*
Right Man: “Wait, guys, don’t attack this one!”
Valt (Thinking): This guy is trying to protect me?
Right Man: “Let me introduce myself. I’m Ken Midori, and this is my Beyblade, Kerbeus. Why didn’t you seize the chance to kill me when you could’ve?”
Valt: “Because I’m not here to do that. I’ve come to save my father.”
Ken: “I respect that. Let me get your Beyblade out of your knuckles. By the way, what’s your name?”
Valt: “I’m Valt Aoi, and the Beyblade stuck in my knuckles is Valkyrie. Could you tell me where the doctor’s office here is?”
Ken: “Once you get out of in between these two buildings, it’s three buildings ahead.”
Valt: “Ok then. Thanks for helping me out.”
Ken: “No problem. Let me know if you need anything. I live right here on Lost Rd, the first building on the road to the left.”
‘Later in the night, towards the entrance of the city with a bridge between the exit and entrance’
Shu (Thinking): I need to go see if Valt survived Lost Rd. While I’m at it I’ll find someone to test this relic on.
*Shu accidentally bumped into a drunk man, who was with another drunk man*
Drunk Man #1: “What’s the big idea, buddy? Fight me!”
*The first man threw a punch, to which Shu easily dodged*
Shu (Thinking): Looks like I found my test subject.
*Shu threw a knife into the right side of the second drunk man’s chest. Blood spewed everywhere as the second drunk man fell onto the ground, dead. Blood spewed onto the relic, to which Shu pushed into the heart area of the first drunk. The relic reacted to the blood, and went straight into the drunk man’s heart. The drunk man fell onto the ground, seemingly dead*
Shu (Thinking): Looks like it doesn’t do anything to a human.
*Shu went to retrieve the relic when the relic fell out. Shu retrieved it when the first drunk man stood up and lunged at Shu, Shu caught off guard and pinned to the railing of the bridge. Shu tried to push him off, but the strength of the drunk man didn’t allow him to. The relic had given the man a boost in strength. Shu launched Spriggan just barely and sliced off half of his left arm. The drunk man didn’t seem to notice, and it didn’t bleed either. The man leaned his head in to bite into Shu’s head, when Spriggan ricocheted on the other side of the bridge and slammed into the drunk man’s brain. The drunk man fell onto the ground, dead.
Shu (Thinking): What an interesting ability this relic has. It almost looks like it could fit right into the core of Spriggan.
*Shu went to Lost Road, only to find no corpse of Valt’s, as you usually could when someone died there. Shu decided to return to the Aoi Mansion quickly to see if Valt was there. When he got there, he opened the doors of the mansion. In the middle of the entrance stood Valt, to the left of him the doctor from Lost Rd, and to the right Ken. It seemed as Shu was through*

Chapter 9: Ultimate Battle! Valt & Shu
*The group had been walking for half an hour before they finally arrived at Shu’s castle. They were prepared for whatever zombified beasts they were to encounter, and entered the castle. A long corridor awaited them*
Ken: “Where’s Shu even gonna be?”
Valt: “I presume on the top floor. We’ll have to fight off anything that comes after us until then.”
*They get to the end of the corridor, and start walking up the spiral stairs. The group notices dungeon rooms, so the begin to look through them. Monstrous sounds are heard halfway up the castle*
Souta: “What could that sound be?”
Lui: “Zombified beasts. This castle should be crawling with them to protect Shu.”
*The sounds got louder and louder, until they got right next to one dungeon room where the sound was right next to them*
Valt: “The sound is coming from this dungeon room! Look! There’s someone in the room as well.”
Lui: “That’s a giant zombified beast.”
*The young man, who was Daina, was in the corner, barely dodging Ukyo’s attempts to eat him*
Ken: “We gotta get in and save him!”
*Valt tried to budge the door open, but was unable to*
Valt: “I can’t get it open. We’re gonna have to take the door down!”
*The group readied their beys. They all launched at once, and used their special Bey Spirit moves on the door. The door shook quickly with force, and was shaken with so much force that the door broke down. The group entered the dungeon room to save Daina*
Daina: “Who the heck are you guys?”
Zac: “We’re Bey Spirit users, and we’re here to save you.”
*With that, Zac launches Zillion Zeus, and sliced Ukyo’s left arm clean off. Naoki saw the chance to strike, and launched Nova Neptune to finish Ukyo off*
Ukyo: “I won’t let you finish me off that easily!”
*Ukyo single handedly launched Unlock Unicorn, deflecting Nova Neptune. Lui came in and launched Lost Longinus straight into the gaping hole where Ukyo’s arm used to be. Ukyo was unable to launch Unicorn on time and was quickly destroyed from the inside out in the form of an explosion of body parts. Unicorn was also quickly destroyed as well as it disintegrated from the explosion*
Valt: “Are you ok?”
Daina: “Yes. Who are you people anyways really?”
Lui: “We’re people who have come to destroy the being known as Shu using our Bey Spirit powers. What’s your name, kid?”
Daina: “The name’s Daina, and it appears my younger brother has found his way into your group. You got my Bey, Souta?”
*Souta stepped out from behind the entrance of the dungeon room and walked down the stairs down to Daina*
Souta: “It’s right here.”
*Souta rustles through his pocket and grabs Deathscyther, then gives it to Daina*
Daina: “Thanks for taking good care of Deathscyther while I was gone.”
Souta: “No problem, Daina.”
Lui: “I suppose you should be heading home now. You wouldn’t want to get yourself involved in this mess of things anymore.”
Daina: “You lot of warriors makes me want to fight for this cause to protect my town even more. The only thing I don’t want is Souta involved in this anymore.”
Souta: “If you want to fight with these warriors, then I’d love to stay with you Daina.”
*Daina lets out a sigh*
Daina: “No point in trying to convince you. I guess we shall go up to the tower and fight Shu then.”
Lui: “Fight him we shall. To the top floor we go!”
Group: “Yeah!”
*The group heads up the stairs leading to the top floor of the castle. They were shocked by how easy it was to get up to the top floor of the tower. When they arrived, two large doors awaited them*
Naoki: “Leave it to me, Lui.”
Lui: “Go ahead.”
*Naoki launches Nova Neptune into the large doors, smashing through the large doors easily an creating a large hole in the doors. The group enters and on the other side is a large throne room. On the other side of the room sits Shu, sitting on the throne. Surrounding him is a multitude of zombified beasts, many of them well built and large. Shu sits there, as if he had expected the group to come*
Shu: “Looks like you finally got here, Valt. This group of people can’t save you now.”
Valt: “Your reign of terror ends here, Shu! I won’t let you continue any longer!”
*Shu lets out a loud, evil laugh*
Shu: “Then come at me, Valt.”
*Valt runs towards Shu, launching Victory Valkyrie. Valkyrie spins at high speeds and Shu launches Storm Spriggan. The two beys clash, and Valkyrie was sent flying into a wall*
Shu: “You have no idea who you’re messing with. Since last time, I have only gotten stronger, Valt, and I will stroke you down!”
*Valt, unarmed, had no way to defend himself against the upcoming Storm Spriggan. Nova Neptune was launched and deflected Storm Spriggan*
Naoki: “With four Bey Spirit users, victory belongs to us!”
*Valt managed to grab Victory Valkyrie, and the four Bey Spririt users launched their beys. Storm Spriggan was launched again and deflected all four beys*
Lui: “He is more powerful than we thought. We’ll have to use special techniques against him!”
Shu: “I’m afraid your fight with me ends here. Beasts, awaken!”
*The zombified beasts came out from the darkness, and started leaping towards the group of four. Lui launched Lost Longinus, and one by one, took out the zombified beasts, until none were left*
Lui: “Now, Longinus! Lost Spiral Overdrive!”
*Lost Longinus sped towards Shu quickly, getting faster as it got closer to Shu. Shu launched Storm Spriggan and deflected Longinus into the ground, where it got stuck in the ground*
Shu: “Defenseless now? No matter, I’ll kill you right here and now!”
*Storm Spriggan rushed towards Lui at a quick speed, until Naomi steps in the way*
Lui: “Don’t do it, Naoki!”
*Naoki launches Nova Neptune, but was quickly deflected into a wall by Storm Spriggan. Storm Spriggan went right through Naoki’s neck, and Naoki’s body went flying into a wall, his head not going as far*
Lui: “Naoki!”
*Naoki was still alive, his head still alive somehow. He looked over at Lui*
Naoki: “Lui, throw me me Bey, now!”
*Lui threw Nova Neptune at Naoki’s head. Naoki caught it with his teeth. Shu was dealing with Zac and Valt*
Shu: “Looks like I actually killed one of you. I’ll deal with all three of you at once!”
*Naoki saw that as a cue, and threw Nova Neptune at Shu with his mouth. It ended up catching Shu off guard and the bey had been thrown hard, so hard that it lodged itself into Shu’s left eye*
Shu: “You idiot! My eye!”
*Shu stumbled backwards, almost falling off the balcony right behind his throne. Shu caught himself with his head, and tore the Beyblade out of his eye. Naoki died right then, and Shu destroyed Nova Neptune with one hit using Storm Spriggan*
Lui (Sreaming): “Naokiiiiiiiiii!”
*Lui kneeled and raised his hands, letting out tears of sadness while he was screaming*
Lui: “You’ll pay for this!”
*Lui launched Lost Longinus, channeling his anger into his launch. He kept a steady hand as usual, but let out a much stronger launch. Shu launched Storm Spriggan, but was deflected by Longinus*
Shu: “What!?”
*Shu attempted to dodge Lost Longinus, but wasn’t successful as Longinus went right through Shu’s right arm. Longinus ricocheted right back to Lui, and Lui caught Longinus*
Shu: “You forget I have regeneration abilities!”
*Within seconds, Shu’s arm was fully healed. His eye was taking longer to heal, but was still healing quickly. Shu launched Storm Spriggan and smashed Lui into a wall so quickly that it caught Lui off guard. Zac launched Zillion Zeus, but Spriggan smashed it into a wall, sending it going through a wall into an entire floor down in the castle*
Zac: “Zeus!”
*Zac quickly ran down the spiral stairs to retrieve Zillion Zeus. Shu let out an evil cackle. Lui was still laying by the wall, being knocked out by the impact of Storm Spriggan*
Shu: “It was about time I got serious about this. All that is left is you, Valt.”
Valt: “Bring it on! I’m not afraid to show my full power!”
Shu: “Then I won’t be either.”
*Valt ran to Shu and launched right in front of him. Victory Valkyrie froze upon contact of Shu*
Valt: “What!?”
Shu: “I’m able to control my body temperature much better than before. Who knew a couple days is all that’s needed?”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan right into Valt’s arm, to which it got lodged in*
Valt: “Auuuugh!”
*Valt pulled Storm Spriggan out of his arm and threw it onto the ground. Spriggan was durable and bounced right back into Shu’s hands*
Valt: “I’m done playing around!”
*Valt took several steps backward. Shu watched and wondered what he was doing*
Shu: “Go ahead and put on your little show, Valt.”
*Valt ignored Shu, and did three high jumps, and on the third one, launched Victory Valkyrie. Shu simply launched Storm Spriggan and deflected Valkyrie*
Shu: “It doesn’t matter where you launch your Bey, Valt, I can just continue to deflect it!”
*Just then, a Bey went right through Shu’s right leg, chopping it clean off and sending it flying. The Bey was Xeno Xcalibur. The Bey broke into three pieces and fell down the castle onto the ground below*
Shu: “Who needs a leg? I’ll launch with my teeth if I have to!”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan onto the ground, this time slanted, so that Spriggan’s rubber would touch the ground. The Bey moved incredibly fast, banking every several feet. Valt launched Victory Valkyrie, but was deflected back faster than before*
Shu: “My power is too great! How could you ever counter this?”
Valt: “With this!”
*Valt jumped onto Storm Spriggan and used it to boost off of, stabbing Victory Valkyrie into Shu’s neck. Valkyrie immediately froze, as well as Valt’s left hand and arm*
Shu: “I’ve won!”
*Shu punched Valt right in the face, sending him right into the ground. Valt was still holding Victory Valkyrie in his left hand. He tore it from his frozen hand, and used Bey Spirit to warm up Valkyrie and melt the ice off. He didn’t have enough to thaw his arm and hand, however. Valt readied his launcher towards the ground, sticking his launcher in his frozen left hand*
Shu: “Looks like you’re getting desperate, Valt!”
*Valt launched Victory Valkyrie hard. Valkyrie hit the ground a ricocheted towards Shu*
Valt (Yelling): “Valkyrie! Ricochet Wing Launch Overdrive!”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan, expecting to deflect Victory Valkyrie. Instead, Storm Spriggan was deflected and Valkyrie went right through Shu’s neck, loping his head right off and having it land on the railing of the balcony*
Shu: “D-d-defeated by a mortal...Impossible!”
Valt: “Your time to die has come, Shu!”
*Valt kicked Shu’s head off the balcony, at the bottom was Wakiya, who retrieved Shu’s head once it fell into the river nearby. Valt landed on his knees, and Ken and Souta had watched the whole thing happen before their eyes. Zac then came through the entrance of the top of the castle and saw Shu’s body on the ground of the top floor. Valt was on his knees, and let out silent tears. Valt had finally defeated Shu*

Chapter 1: Shu the Antagonizer
September 1881
*Valt is coming home from school, and encounters someone similar of his age. He goes up to greet the young man*
Valt: “Hey, I haven’t seen you around here before. Have you recently moved in?”
Unknown Young Man: “I’m actually on my way to meet my new family. My dad died recently and this family has decided to accept me.”
Valt: “Oh, well I hope everything goes well with that. See you around!” *Valt runs off to the mansion*
‘Thirty minutes later’
Kento: “Valt, come on down! I’d like you to meet someone.“
Valt: “I’m coming!” Valt pauses his homework and jumps off his bed, and runs down the stairs to the entrance of the mansion.
Kento: “Valt, I want to introduce you to someone that is going to be a new addition to our family. His father saved my life many years ago, and he died recently. I’ve taken in his son since I owe him a great debt. Valt, meet Shu Kuranei.”
Valt: “You’re that kid from earlier. I had no idea you’re the son of that guy that we owed.”
Shu: “Well I am. What’s your name?”
Valt: “I’m Valt Aoi, and I welcome you into our home.”
Shu: “A welcome isn’t necessary. ‘Father’, could you get someone to fetch my bags to my room?”
Kento: “Of course. Valor! Come get Shu’s bags and carry them up to his room!”
Valor: “Right away sir!”
*Valor picks up Shu’s bags and proceeds to carry them up the stairs slowly*
Valt: “By the way dad, I could really use some help on my homework.”
Kento: “Not now, son. I have to help Shu get settled in.”
*Kento goes up the stairs as well as Shu, Shu giving Valt a creepy glare*
Valt: “What’s up with that guy? He’s kinda creepy.”
*Valt walks up the stairs and continues to do his homework*
‘A few days later in the front yard of the mansion’
Valt: “Shu, you gotta meet our dog! Come here!”
*Shu proceeds to walk down the few stairs of the entrance and to Valt*
Shu: “Name?”
Valt: “His name is JoJo. He’s a really energetic dog!”
*Shu remains silent, watching Valt play with the dog*
Valt: “You wanna pet him?”
Shu: “I’m good.”
*Shu smiles sinisterly, and walks off*
Valt (Mind): What is up with this guy? He’s really strange. Guess he’s not very familiar with how to act around other people.
*The next day in the afternoon*
Valt (Laying on his bed): A homework free day! I don’t get those too often.”
*Valt notices a note beside his bed*
Valt: “What is this?”
‘Valt,
Maybe you should go check up on your dog.’
Valt: “This doesn’t sound good.”
*Valt leaves his room and goes down the stairs to go outside and finds JoJo in a pool of blood lying there dead*
Valt (running over to JoJo tearfully) : “JoJo!”
*Shu watches from behind the front door as Valt holds JoJo, despite JoJo being all bloody. Valt running towards the front door, Shu leaves to go do something else*
*A few hours later*
Kento: “It’s a shame something got to JoJo, but we can at least now remember him by this grave.”
*Valt sniffles some, and tries to maintain a calm mood, Shu having a small smirk all the while*
Kento: “It’s getting late, boys. Let’s go back inside now.”
*At school*
*People whispered amongst each other when Valt walked by them*
Valt (Thinking): This can’t be good. Looks like someone might’ve spread a rumor about me.
*His usual friends Valt would speak to refused to talk to him*
Shu (Under his breath): “Looks like my rumor spread fast.”
Valt: “What’d you just say!?”
Shu: “So it seems you’ve heard the rumor I’ve spread around about you killing your dog.”
Valt: “How dare you!”
*Valt tries to land a punch on Shu. Shu stops the punch with his bare hand*
Shu: “Don’t try that on me. Land one punch and you’ll be getting it from Spriggan.”
Valt: “Spriggan?”
Shu: “It’s my Bey, Spriggan. I use Spriggan as a weapon to defend me, and trust me when I say Spriggan will tear you up if you try to hurt me.”
*Valt, intimidated by Spriggan, walked off*
*At home during dinner*
Kento: “Valt, have some manners and stop slurping up the pasta all at once!”
*Valt stops slurping and his face turns red from embarrassment, Shu watching and giving a small smirk to it all*
*On the way home from school, Valt encounters two boys from his school bullying a girl, also from his school*
Boy #1: “A pretty necklace you got there, Krystal.”
Boy #2: “That necklace of hers looks valuable!”
*The second boy swipes the necklace right off her neck*
Krystal: “Hey! My mom gave me that necklace! Give it back!”
Boy #1: “We could sell this off for quite a few shillings.”
*Valt snuck behind a tree conveniently placed behind where the incident was happening. At the right moment, Valt threw a punch at the first boy*
Boy #1: “Don’t try to be the hero, kid. You’re only gonna get yourself into trouble.”
*The first boy repeatedly throws punches at Valt, landing every single one. The second boy joins in soon after and they both land repeated punches to Valt. Krystal watches in horror as they finish punching him*
Boy #1: “That’ll teach you not to mess with
us.”
*The first boy spits on Valt, the second boy right after, as they walk off. Valt’s face is all bloody, with a bloody nose as well as a beaten up face and a fractured right arm. Krystal walks over to Valt*
Krystal: “Are you okay?”
Valt: “I-*Cough*I’m fine, especially since I got your necklace back.”
Krystal: “You managed to get it back? That’s amazing! But first I want to get your injuries handled. What’s your name?”
Valt: “V-Valt. I think my right arm might be broken, as it’s in a great deal of pain.”
*Krystal rips off a piece of her dress and wraps Valt’s right arm in a sling. She wipes off Valt’s bloody nose and helps him get home*
‘At home’
*Kento had a Doctor come tend to Valt’s injuries properly, especially his right arm*
Kento: “That was a brave thing you did, Valt, but you didn’t have to do that.”
Valt: “I know. I just hate when guys do dumb things like that.”
*Shu watches from the stairs of the mansion, confused by Valt not being very upset of the whole incident*
Shu (Thinking): Looks like I’m gonna have to go harder with this.
*Valt had taken up boxing at school, and Shu had also shown interest and decided to start it, both for the fun of it and to eventually ruin Valt’s reputation completely, as the rumor Shu has made up hadn’t seemed to do much as it was shrugged off by others. The week after the incident with Valt, Shu got a chance to fight Valt in a boxing match*
Shu (Thinking): Now is my chance to finally ruin everything for him.
Boxing Ref: “Begin!”
*Valt throws the first punch, Shu attempting to block it but fails. Valt continues punching, Shu continuing to block and wasn’t always successful. Shu eventually took action when it looked like he had lost, and punched Valt right in the gut*
Shu (Thinking): I’ve already won.
*Valt flinched for a split second, and Shu threw another punch, and kept throwing punches, each punch getting faster than the first one, until Valt eventually fell down, unable to fight*
Ref: “1!...2!...3! That’s a Knock Out!”
*The crowd cheered for Shu, and Shu knew he had done it*
Shu (Thinking): Now’s my chance.
Shu: “Hey everyone! Don’t trust Valt here. He’ll rat you out if you try to tell him to keep a secret!”
*Due to his newfound popularity, people actually believed him this time*
Classmate: “I’ll make sure not to ever hang out with Valt anymore.”
Classmate #2: “Yeah me too!”
*Shu had gotten everyone who was at the boxing match to believe his little lie. It wouldn’t be long before the whole school heard it. Shu had ruined Valt’s social life*
‘A few days later coming home from school’
Krystal: “Valt!”
Valt (Stopped walking and turned around): “Didn’t you hear? I rat people out now.”
Krystal: “Like I’d believe what Shu says. It’s clear he takes a disliking to you.”
Valt: “I know that. I don’t understand why though. It’s not like I have done anything to him to get him to dislike me.”
Krystal: “Maybe you need to talk to him and find out.”
Valt: “I guess I haven’t tried that yet. Why don’t you walk home with me?”
Krystal: “I guess I have the time to.”
*Valt and Krystal get to know each other better as they walk, until they get to Valt’s house*
Valt: “See you, Krystal!”
Krystal: “You too, Valt.”
*Krystal and Valt became friends that day. From then on, they would hang out together, talking and sometimes eating lunch together. They became very good friends*
‘One day while they were talking to each other on the way home from school’
Valt: “You told me there was something you had wanted to tell me.”
Krystal: “Yeah, about that.”
*Krystal stopped walking, Valt doing the same afterwards*
Krystal: “I have been wanting to tell you this for a while now. I am honestly nervous.”
Valt: “What? What is it?”
Valt (Thinking): She definitely likes me.
Krystal (Takes a deep breath): “Valt Aoi, I...I like you. I have a crush on you kind of like.”
Valt (Thinking in a cool voice): It was obvious the whole time.
*Valt hesitated from laughing since he knew she was going to say that, and was glad that he was right because he like her too*
Valt: “I like you like that too, Krystal.”
*Krystal’s face brightened up at the news. From then on, they were a couple, doing many of the fun things they used to do but did new things as a couple*
‘One month later’
Valt: “See you tomorrow, Krystal.”
Krystal: “See you tomorrow, Valt.”
*Shu was watching from the top of the stairs, relieved he knew why Valt had been so happy for the past few months. Shu already knew what he was going to do*
‘Thirty minutes later’
*Krystal was walking home after walking with Valt to his mansion. Out of nowhere she was kicked into a mud puddle right beside her*
Shu: “I knew there was a reason behind Valt’s happiness. He’s been way too happy these past few months.”
*Shu had two guys with him, laughing at Krystal*
Krystal: “What do you want, Shu?”
Shu: “I got a question for your, Krystal: Have you had your first kiss with Valt yet?”
*Krystal stared angrily at Shu*
Krystal: “So what if I haven’t yet?”
Shu: “Looks like I can take something to take away from Valt.”
*Shu lifted Krystal up, and pushed her head into his, and pushed her mouth into his, kissing her*
Shu: “You thought your first kiss would be with Valt, but it was I, Shu!”
*The two guys supporting Shu cheered*
Shu: “Guess I’ll let Valt know. He won’t be very happy once he finds out.”
*Shu and the two guys that were with him walked off*
‘At the mansion’
*Someone knocks on the door, and Valt answers it. The person at the door was Shu*
Valt: “Shu? What have you been doing outside today?”
Shu: “Normally I would say it is none of your business, but it seems the situation would make it change. Krystal’s first kiss? It wasn’t you. I, Shu, am Krystal’s first kiss!”
*Shu proceeded to push Valt onto the floor, Valt looking with horror*
Valt: “How could you!? Why do you hate me so much Shu!?”
Shu: “You still do not understand? I need to overthrow you and get your dad on his bad side so I get all the money when he dies! I will become the Aoi successor! Not you, Valt!”
*Shu proceeds to throw a punch, Valt unprotected from it. Shu continued to throw punches over and over again*
Shu: “It’s all over for you, Valt. I’ll make sure you never get a pence of the fortune.”
Valt: “That’s where you’re wrong, Shu.”
*Valt had been sneaking his left foot into in between Shu’s legs. Right after he said that, Valt kicked with his left foot. Shu fell onto the ground in excruciating pain, but refused to give up*
Shu: “I refuse to give up that easily!”
*Shu got his launcher out and launched Spriggan. Spriggan proceeded to bounce off the walls and right into the back of Valt, throwing Valt onto the ground and leaving a shallow cut*
Shu: “Must I repeat myself again? I’m getting the fortune money, not-“
*Spriggan slammed into Shu, throwing Shu into the ground this time*
Valt: “You underestimate my powers, Shu. Your evil won’t be accepted here. You know, it is not that hard to ricochet Spriggan into your face. You’re going down right here right now.”
*Valt threw a punch, sending a small amount of blood into the wall, and making a small relic fall off the wall on which it was hung on. Before Valt could throw another punch, Kento yells at them from upstairs*
Kento: “Valt! How dare you punch someone when they’re defenseless on the ground. Boys will be boys, and you’ll fight, but you must know your limits. Both of you go to your rooms right now.”
*Valt and Shu both went to their rooms as ordered. Valt knew he had won the fight against Shu, and hoped Shu would not antagonize him anymore*
‘The next day at night’
*Shu had went into town that night. He was thinking of a few things*
Shu (Thinking): That relic on the wall. It was only a slight feeling, but I know that Spriggan had a more powerful presence towards it. Could it be something important? I need to look into this more.
To be continued in chapter 2: A Relic from the Past.
September 1881
*Valt is coming home from school, and encounters someone similar of his age. He goes up to greet the young man*
Valt: “Hey, I haven’t seen you around here before. Have you recently moved in?”
Unknown Young Man: “I’m actually on my way to meet my new family. My dad died recently and this family has decided to accept me.”
Valt: “Oh, well I hope everything goes well with that. See you around!” *Valt runs off to the mansion*
‘Thirty minutes later’
Kento: “Valt, come on down! I’d like you to meet someone.“
Valt: “I’m coming!” Valt pauses his homework and jumps off his bed, and runs down the stairs to the entrance of the mansion.
Kento: “Valt, I want to introduce you to someone that is going to be a new addition to our family. His father saved my life many years ago, and he died recently. I’ve taken in his son since I owe him a great debt. Valt, meet Shu Kuranei.”
Valt: “You’re that kid from earlier. I had no idea you’re the son of that guy that we owed.”
Shu: “Well I am. What’s your name?”
Valt: “I’m Valt Aoi, and I welcome you into our home.”
Shu: “A welcome isn’t necessary. ‘Father’, could you get someone to fetch my bags to my room?”
Kento: “Of course. Valor! Come get Shu’s bags and carry them up to his room!”
Valor: “Right away sir!”
*Valor picks up Shu’s bags and proceeds to carry them up the stairs slowly*
Valt: “By the way dad, I could really use some help on my homework.”
Kento: “Not now, son. I have to help Shu get settled in.”
*Kento goes up the stairs as well as Shu, Shu giving Valt a creepy glare*
Valt: “What’s up with that guy? He’s kinda creepy.”
*Valt walks up the stairs and continues to do his homework*
‘A few days later in the front yard of the mansion’
Valt: “Shu, you gotta meet our dog! Come here!”
*Shu proceeds to walk down the few stairs of the entrance and to Valt*
Shu: “Name?”
Valt: “His name is JoJo. He’s a really energetic dog!”
*Shu remains silent, watching Valt play with the dog*
Valt: “You wanna pet him?”
Shu: “I’m good.”
*Shu smiles sinisterly, and walks off*
Valt (Mind): What is up with this guy? He’s really strange. Guess he’s not very familiar with how to act around other people.
*The next day in the afternoon*
Valt (Laying on his bed): A homework free day! I don’t get those too often.”
*Valt notices a note beside his bed*
Valt: “What is this?”
‘Valt,
Maybe you should go check up on your dog.’
Valt: “This doesn’t sound good.”
*Valt leaves his room and goes down the stairs to go outside and finds JoJo in a pool of blood lying there dead*
Valt (running over to JoJo tearfully) : “JoJo!”
*Shu watches from behind the front door as Valt holds JoJo, despite JoJo being all bloody. Valt running towards the front door, Shu leaves to go do something else*
*A few hours later*
Kento: “It’s a shame something got to JoJo, but we can at least now remember him by this grave.”
*Valt sniffles some, and tries to maintain a calm mood, Shu having a small smirk all the while*
Kento: “It’s getting late, boys. Let’s go back inside now.”
*At school*
*People whispered amongst each other when Valt walked by them*
Valt (Thinking): This can’t be good. Looks like someone might’ve spread a rumor about me.
*His usual friends Valt would speak to refused to talk to him*
Shu (Under his breath): “Looks like my rumor spread fast.”
Valt: “What’d you just say!?”
Shu: “So it seems you’ve heard the rumor I’ve spread around about you killing your dog.”
Valt: “How dare you!”
*Valt tries to land a punch on Shu. Shu stops the punch with his bare hand*
Shu: “Don’t try that on me. Land one punch and you’ll be getting it from Spriggan.”
Valt: “Spriggan?”
Shu: “It’s my Bey, Spriggan. I use Spriggan as a weapon to defend me, and trust me when I say Spriggan will tear you up if you try to hurt me.”
*Valt, intimidated by Spriggan, walked off*
*At home during dinner*

Chapter 2: A Relic from the Past
October 1888
*Seven years have passed since the fight between Valt and Shu, and their fighting has long stopped at this point in time. They became good friends as brothers. On Valt’s 16th birthday, his father, Kento Aoi, gave him a Beyblade for his birthday. Valt called the Beyblade Valkyrie, after the type of female warrior in Norse mythology. After that, Valt decided to get into Bey Ball, a sport similar to Soccer, or Football for people outside of the US. Shu joined soon after. Over time, Valt became the best on his team. At this time, they had a finals match, and Valt’s team were giving it their all*
Shu: “Get Valkyrie to pass the ball to Spriggan, Valt!”
Valt: “Will do!”
*Valkyrie was having a hard time passing the ball with the opposing team’s beys blocking Valkyrie. More and more of the opposing beys were blocking Valkyrie’s way*
Shu (thinking): Come on, Valt, think of something.
*Just then, Valkyrie started moving forward, despite the beys that were blocking its path, Valkyrie kept pushing, the opposing beys still blocking its path. Valkyrie started to lose stamina, and Valt’s team began to lose hope. Eventually, Valkyrie burst the opposing beys all at once, and passed the ball to Spriggan. With only a few opposing beys left on the field, they scrambled to stop Spriggan, but it was too late. Spriggan did a flip and smashed the ball into the goal, giving the win to their team. Valt’s team cheers loudly and runs over to Valt and Shu*
Shu: “You did great out there, Valt! That was a pretty unexpected play.”
Valt: “Thanks! You did great too.”
*Valt’s team was all over him and Shu. Shu’s preciseness as well as success when it came to things like Bey Ball lead him to graduating top of the class in chemistry. Valt, on the other hand, had a head for strategy, and his determination led him to graduating high in criminal justice*
‘At the Aoi Mansion’
*Kento was sick in bed, and his condition was getting worse. Valt and Shu visited him after graduation to check up on him*
Valt: “Are you doing ok, father?”
Kento: “I’m doing ok. My fever has gotten much worse, though, and I have had to have a doctor come check up on me, as well as Valor.”
Shu: “We brought you some tea, if you’d like some.”
Kento: “Just set it on the table beside the bed. I’ll drink it in a bit.”
*Shu sets the tea on the table beside the bed*
Kento: “I heard about your victory today, Valt and Shu. Congratulations. I’m just so surprised how far you two have come. It feels like Just yesterday you two were boys who couldn’t get along with each other. Now here you two are, graduating school.”
*Kento continued to talk with his sons for a little bit longer, and decided to rest after that*
‘That night, at the Aoi Mansion’
*Valt decided to experiment with the relic that had been hung in his house for years. It made no sense to Valt why his father kept it in the house, and figured it had to have some kind of importance*
Valt (thinking): This relic has been in the family house for years. I swear I remember blood making it fall off the wall. Does it have some reaction to blood?
*Valt cut his finger slightly, and dropped a drop of blood on the relic. The relic a few seconds later extended out, and became twice as long as previously. About 30 seconds later, it returned to normal length*
Valt: “Interesting, but I need more info on it. Maybe a book in the Aoi Mansion has info?”
*Valt began looking through some books, trying to find one with information on the relic. While going through a book, a note fell out of it*
Valt: “What’s this?”
‘Dr. John
I think the poison you gave me is working. The symptoms start with a small fever but becomes more severe as the days go on, just as you said. He’s also losing his ability to walk as well, as you said could be a major symptom. As this note is being written, my father is on his deathbed. He should be dead within a few hours of writing this note.
Sincerely, Shu Kurenai.’
Valt (Thinking): Shu killed his own father? More concerning, these symptoms are the same ones my father has. Does that mean...that Shu is trying to kill my father? I’ll need to confront him tomorrow and make sure he doesn’t give any more poison to my father if he is, or he’ll die.
‘The next day’
*Shu was taking some more tea to his “father”, like yesterday. Valt decided to confront Shu then*
Valt: “Hey Shu, can I inspect that sugar packet?”
Shu: “Why would you want to do that?”
Valt: “I think you know why.”
*Valt attempts to take the sugar packet, but Shu grabs his arm before he can grab it*
Shu: “You’re going to regret trying to do that”
*Shu tried to bend Valt’s arm backwards, but Valt grabbed Shu’s arm with his ither arm and bent it back. Valt then grabbed the sugar packet and let go of Shu*
Valt: “You poisoned your father with this kind of stuff, and now you’re trying to poison mine!”
Shu: “That’s a very big accusation, Valt. I wouldn’t just say things like that without evidence.”
Valt: “Here’s your evidence for killing your father!”
*Valt held up the letter. Shu was shocked Valt had the letter*
Shu: “My father was a drunk who deserved to die. Listen, Valt, just put the sugar packet back and forget about all this. Why would I want to poison a father who’s taken care of me for years?”
Valt: “If you really aren’t trying to poison him, swear on it!”
*Shu began to break into a hot sweat, knowing he would reveal something if he tried to. Instead, he set the tea down and lunged towards Valt with great strength. Shu pressed Valt against the railing of the top floor*
Shu: “You can’t prove anything. You’ll get your lesson for messing with me.”
*Shu attempted to throw Valt down to break his back, but failed, Valt overpowering him and instead Shu being flipped and dropped onto the bottom floor with a slamming sound*
Valt: “I’m sure of it now, Shu. Just wait. In three days, I’ll be back here to prove your attempt at murder and send you to jail!”
*Valt ran out the front door of the Aoi Mansion after telling Valor where he would be going*
Shu: “You may have gotten away for now, but soon enough I’ll find you and kill you before you get me arrested.”
*Shu inspected the notes of Valt’s, and figured out what the relic could do*
Shu: “If I used this relic and press it into Valt’s heart while it has blood on it, it’ll kill him in an instant.“
‘That night’
*Shu had gotten word that Valt was heading to Lost Rd, which Shu knew Valt probably would not make it out of, so he decided to refrain from trying to kill Valt for now*
‘In London’
*Valt had rode to the nearby town by train, and was trying to find a doctor that could test the sugar for poison. Unfortunately, he would have to go through Lost Rd, a road where many would go missing, hence the name. It was snowing relatively hard, and show covered the ground*
Valt (Thinking): This is the road. It should be around five buildings ahead of me to the right.
*Just then, a man ran towards him a launcher something. It turned out to be a Beyblade aiming for Valt’s head. Valt was backed in between two buildings, but had come prepared, and took out his launcher as well as Valkyrie, and launched. Valkyrie collided with the opposing Beyblade, making the opposing Beyblade fall into the snow. Valkyrie hit the ground, and bounced back up into the man’s face, knocking him onto the ground*
Valt: “That could’ve been bad.”
*Two more men came running towards Valt, the one to the left launching another Beyblade. Valt quickly grabbed Valkyrie and launched again, smashing into the opposing Beyblade and threw it on the other side of the road. The man to the right with a bowler hat then launched his Beyblade, Valkyrie slamming head on with it, but was pushed back with a lot of force. Valt quickly held up a defense stance, and Valkyrie slammed into Valt’s knuckles and dug into them. Valt thought quickly and before the opposing Beyblade could throw Valt off his feet, Valt threw his hands, stuck in the defensive position, down onto the opposing Beyblade, causing it to fly into the air, the man catching it with his bare hands, but threw him onto the ground. Just then, a whole crowd of what looked like more enemies started walking towards Valt*
Valt (Thinking): This isn’t good. How am I gonna get out of this mess?
*The crowd got closer and closer, Valt knowing he would have to do something about it very soon*
Right Man: “Wait, guys, don’t attack this one!”
Valt (Thinking): This guy is trying to protect me?
Right Man: “Let me introduce myself. I’m Ken Midori, and this is my Beyblade, Kerbeus. Why didn’t you seize the chance to kill me when you could’ve?”
Valt: “Because I’m not here to do that. I’ve come to save my father.”
Ken: “I respect that. Let me get your Beyblade out of your knuckles. By the way, what’s your name?”
Valt: “I’m Valt Aoi, and the Beyblade stuck in my knuckles is Valkyrie. Could you tell me where the doctor’s office here is?”
Ken: “Once you get out of in between these two buildings, it’s three buildings ahead.”
Valt: “Ok then. Thanks for helping me out.”
Ken: “No problem. Let me know if you need anything. I live right here on Lost Rd, the first building on the road to the left.”
‘Later in the night, towards the entrance of the city with a bridge between the exit and entrance’
Shu (Thinking): I need to go see if Valt survived Lost Rd. While I’m at it I’ll find someone to test this relic on.
*Shu accidentally bumped into a drunk man, who was with another drunk man*
Drunk Man #1: “What’s the big idea, buddy? Fight me!”
*The first man threw a punch, to which Shu easily dodged*
Shu (Thinking): Looks like I found my test subject.
*Shu threw a knife into the right side of the second drunk man’s chest. Blood spewed everywhere as the second drunk man fell onto the ground, dead. Blood spewed onto the relic, to which Shu pushed into the heart area of the first drunk. The relic reacted to the blood, and went straight into the drunk man’s heart. The drunk man fell onto the ground, seemingly dead*
Shu (Thinking): Looks like it doesn’t do anything to a human.
*Shu went to retrieve the relic when the relic fell out. Shu retrieved it when the first drunk man stood up and lunged at Shu, Shu caught off guard and pinned to the railing of the bridge. Shu tried to push him off, but the strength of the drunk man didn’t allow him to. The relic had given the man a boost in strength. Shu launched Spriggan just barely and sliced off half of his left arm. The drunk man didn’t seem to notice, and it didn’t bleed either. The man leaned his head in to bite into Shu’s head, when Spriggan ricocheted on the other side of the bridge and slammed into the drunk man’s brain. The drunk man fell onto the ground, dead.
Shu (Thinking): What an interesting ability this relic has. It almost looks like it could fit right into the core of Spriggan.
*Shu went to Lost Road, only to find no corpse of Valt’s, as you usually could when someone died there. Shu decided to return to the Aoi Mansion quickly to see if Valt was there. When he got there, he opened the doors of the mansion. In the middle of the entrance stood Valt, to the left of him the doctor from Lost Rd, and to the right Ken. It seemed as Shu was through*

Chapter 3: Childhood with Shu
Valt: “I’ve ratted you out, Shu! Your plan has failed! I got the doctor you got the poison from to prove the sugar packet had poison in it! The police put on their way, and you’ll be going to prison for a very long time, Shu!”
*Shu went into a hot sweat. He knew he was going to be screwed over if he didn’t do something to save himself*
Shu: “But Valt! Of course I didn’t think I’d be able to get away with this! I came back here to surrender.”
Ken: “Don’t believe him, Valt. Being a bad guy before, I can tell the difference from truth and untruth.”
*Valt nodded to Ken in agreement, realizing Shu was lying. Kento then walked out using a cane, looking a bit better*
Kento: “I can’t believe a son of mine, biological or not, would try and kill me. I’m having you removed from the Aoi fortune.”
*Shu knew it was over for him. There was only one thing he knew left to do. The police arrived at that moment to come arrest Shu*
Shu: “Humanity has held me back! My bey is far too weak to fight against guns as is! But with your blood, Valt, I can upgrade Spriggan as well as myself and surpass the human race! I will strike you down, Valt!”
*Shu quickly launched Spriggan towards Valt’s heart at a quick speed. Kento jumped in front of Valt, Spriggan going right through Kento’s chest*
Valt: “Father!”
*Valt lifted Kento’s hand*
Kento: “It’s ok, Valt. I’m glad to see who you have grown up to be. I’m proud of you, Valt. Do whatever you have to do take down Shu.”
*Kento’s hand fell to the floor, dead. Valt had only a moment to shed a tear, because the blood that Kento had shed had splashed onto the relic, which Shu placed right above Spriggan’s core, and Spriggan was right above Shu’s heart*
Shu: “Now I shall surpass the human race!”
*The relic reacted to the blood, going right through the core of Spriggan and Spriggan going right into Shu’s heart. The police officers saw what Shu had done and started shooting. The shooting caused Shu to fall out of the first floor, and onto the grass right outside the Aoi mansion*
Police Chief: “This will take a while to clean up. We’ve got two dead bodies and a broken window.”
*Valt was relieved. At last this was all over. His father may have died, but Shu was dead as well. The police chief, however, felt like something was watching him*
Valt (Thinking): It almost looks like a figure of some sort is lurking right above the window Shu fell out of. Speaking of Shu-
*Just as Valt was about to think about looking to see if Shu’s corpse was still there, Ken looked over there instead*
Ken: “Shu’s body. It’s gone!”
*Ken ran away from the window the police chief was by. A Beyblade was launched from above and went right through the police chief’s head, killing him instantly and causing blood to pour around him as he dropped to the floor. The Beyblade started ricocheting all over the room, and went right through a couple of the police officer’s bodies. Valt got a quick look at the Beyblade and realized it was Spriggan. It had taken on a more aggressive shape than before, and seemed to be designed more as a killing machine than it had been before*
Valt: “Get out of the mansion before the Beyblade kills you!”
*The remaining police officers ran out of the mansion, one being killed by Spriggan’s wrath as they ran out the door*
Ken: “Let’s stop this menace together, Valt!”
*Valt nodded in agreement, and at the same time as Ken, he launched his Beyblade. Kerbeus was sent flying by Valkyrie and Kerbeus headed towards Spriggan. Spriggan easily sent Kerbeus flying back towards Ken, and Kerbeus went right through Ken’s right arm*
Ken: “S-save yourself, Valt. It’s too powerful.”
*Shu came out from the top of the window and caught Spriggan with his bare hands*
Shu: “It seems you two are no match for my upgraded Spriggan. I’ve decided I’ll call it Storm Spriggan! Now to finish this guy off.”
*At that point, the only people in the building were Valt, Ken, Shu, and a dead Kento. Shu launched Spriggan again and Valt picked up Kerbeus as well as Ken before Storm Spriggan could hit them. Valt had Ken hide, and Valt launched Valkyrie. Valkyrie got shut down by Storm Spriggan*
Shu: “No matter how many times you try to defeat Storm Spriggan, you’ll never get a direct hit on it!”
Valt: “I wasn’t aiming for Spriggan.”
*At that moment, Valkyrie sliced off Shu’s left arm. Shu didn’t even notice until a second later. The area wasn’t bleeding at all*
Valt (Thinking): The area where Shu’s arm was cut off isn’t bleeding. What’s going on?
*Shu picked up his severed arm, and put it back onto his body. A few seconds later, he was able to move his fingers on his left hand*
Valt: “Shu, what have you become?”
Shu: “The Ultimate being. I could have my head cut off and I’d still be able to live! Paired with Storm Spriggan, I’ve become unstoppable.”
Valt: “We’ll see about that!”
*Valt had started a fire with Valkyrie’s incredible speed. Valt quickly picked up the burning Valkyrie and launched. Shu was caught off guard by it and Spriggan was unable to deflect Valkyrie. Valkyrie went straight through one of Shu’s right fingers. The finger melted right off of Shu’s hand*
Valt (Thinking): So extreme heat, or maybe even light, seems to be Shu’s weakness. I know what to do now.
Shu: (Thinking): So it seems I’m weak to extreme heat, or maybe it’s light. Either way, I can’t let Valt defeat me with this knowledge.
*Valkyrie smashed into the curtains on the other side of the room, and started a fire. Valkyrie ricocheted back to Valt, who caught Valkyrie. The fire spread very fast and was already started to burn the carpet flooring of the first floor*
Shu: “Trying to burn me to death are you?”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan towards the fire, and it ricocheted off the wall after it had been exposed to fire. It went straight towards Valt’s head, but Valt had already retrieved Valkyrie and launched it, allowing Valt to be protected. Valkyrie made impact with Spriggan, and got deflected back hard. Valt picked up Valkyrie and noticed the core was cracked*
Valt (Thinking): Valkyrie might break soon. If I get out of this mess alive I’ll have to get Valkyrie fixed.
Valt: “Ken! Get out of here while you still can!”
*Ken proceeds to run out the entrance of the mansion without Shu noticing. By then, the fire was spreading quickly on the floor. Valt tried to run out to the door but then a piece of the roof fell in front of the entrance*
Valt (Thinking): Looks like my only way out of this is going up.
*Valt ran up the stairs, which were already crumbling as the first began to spread to them. Valt managed to get to the second floor before the fire spread to the second floor. Valt grabbed on to the outer part of the door frame, and climbed onto it. The fire had spread onto the second floor and the stairs collapsed. Not long after, the entire second floor flooring collapsed*
Shu: “You can’t escape me by climbing up, Valt! Storm Spriggan will get to you eventually!”
*Storm Spriggan started ricocheted off the walls. Shu realized this could damage Spriggan, so the only option was to climb up the wall Valt was on, which was risky. Spriggan dug into the wall, and created a space where it could freely spin without losing too much stamina. It did this every time it climbed up, little by little, getting closer and closer to Valt*
Valt: “You can’t get to me if I strike Spriggan down before it can get up here!”
*Valt launched Valkyrie, but Valkyrie was immediately deflected back hard by Storm Spriggan. Valt caught Valkyrie, and noticed the crack had turned into several bigger cracks that’s spread from the core*
Valt (Thinking): This is not good. If I continue to use Valkyrie, it’ll break.
*Storm Spriggan continued to climb up. By the time it was right below Valt, Spriggan had too little stamina to climb up more, so it dug into the side of the wall and was going to be used as a thing to hold onto by Shu*
Shu: “One good thing about my new form is that my incredible feats of strength allow me to jump all the way to you!”
*Shu prepared for a large jump, and went for it. The floor below him had been completely eaten up by fire, and Shu was getting close to Storm Spriggan to latch onto it*
Valt: “You won’t be getting up here!”
*Valt launched Valkyrie again, and Shu caught it with his bare hands*
Shu: “You forget my strength allows me to catch your high speed Valkyrie.”
*Shu latched onto Storm Spriggan, and took another leap, his plan to kill Valt as he took Spriggan launched. However, it seemed Valt had a plan*
Valt: “You forget I still have another bey, Shu.”
*Valt launched Kerbeus, and Kerbeus deflected Spriggan’s attack just barely, as Shu was caught off guard by Kerbeus. Valt took Valkyrie from Shu’s hands, and launched Valkyrie straight into Shu’s heart. Shu nearly fell, but launched Storm Spriggan again onto the wall and latched onto it*
Shu: “I won’t let you win, Valt! I shall become the superior one of this world, and I won’t let a mortal stop me!”
*Valt had to think quick. Shu launched Storm Spriggan and Valt deflected by launching Valkyrie. Valkyrie put in one last big attack, which deflected Spriggan and pushed Shu back. Shu tried to launch Spriggan into the wall again, but Valt deflected again with Valkyrie, causing Valkyrie to break into three pierces, Shu started falling down to the mansion floor.
Shu: “You think the fire is going to kill me, Valt?”
Valt: “It will if it pierces through your brain.”
*Shu realized at that moment what Valt had done. He had deflected Shu right above a piece of the house with a large piece of sharp wood sticking up from the floor of the burning Mansion*
Shu: “Valt. If anyone was to defeat me, I always thought it would be you.”
*Shu fell straight into the large piece of sharp wood, piercing right through Shu’s brain and instantly going limp. Valt fell onto the mansion floor as well, having no energy left after the fight with Shu*
‘A few hours later, in the morning’
*Ken was standing 30 feet away from the mansion. It had been 3 hours since he had escaped, and there was still no sign of Valt. The mansion had burned to the ground completely*
Ken (Thinking): Valt. Did he die? Did Shu win?
*Just then, a figure came limping into the ground, and fell into the grass. It was Valt*
Ken: “Valt! Are you ok, Valt?”
Valt: “Yes, but I’m severely injured after that fight.”
Ken: “Is Shu dead? Did you kill him?”
Valt: “Yes. Shu’s brain was pierced and he went limp. He burned in the fire. Shu is no more.”
Ken: “Well, we need to get you to a hospital as well as me.”
*Ken and Valt managed to walk to a nearby hospital a few miles away. Meanwhile, the doctor that had give Shu the poison rummaged around for the relic in the remains of the Aoi Mansion. The doctor wanted to experiment with it*
Doctor (Thinking): This relic. It looks to have special powers. I have to find and experiment with it.
*When the doctor had found the poison, and hand reached out of the remains, and pulled the doctor in. The figure bit into the doctor’s neck, and the doctor went limp instantly*

Chapter 4: Bey Spirit Overdrive
*Valt had been in the hospital for a few days now, getting better and better. The fight against Shu had taken a toll on him, but within the next few days, he would be out of the hospital. Ken decided to visit Valt on this day. Ken was right at the door when he saw a nurse treating Valt’s wounds. The nurse’s hands were dirty with blood, as if she had been working on him for a while. Ken respected that, and decided to come in. The nurse noticed and questioned Ken*
Nurse: “Are you a friend of the patient’s?”
Ken: “Yes, I am. I already was approved to come up here to visit him, and noticed you were working on him.”
Nurse: “Yeah, I’ve been working on him for the past few days nonstop. He hasn’t woken up since he was admitted.”
*Ken could tell that the nurse had been up for quite awhile without rest. Just then, the nurse fainted, and Valt’s hand swung out and caught her*
Valt (quietly): “Nice to see you came to visit me, Ken.”
*Valt looked at the nurse she’d just caught. He came to a realization that he recognized the nurse*
Valt: “K-Krystal!?”
Krystal: “Nice to see you after a few years, Valt. I’ve been the one treating you while you’ve been in this hospital.”
Valt: “To think you have been the one treating me this whole time I have been here. No wonder your hands are so worn out and bloodied.”
*Ken decided to show himself out, and let the two catch up with each other, which they did for a few hours*
‘That night, in London’
*A well known murderer around the city, named Killer Gabe, or KG, was quietly walking on the streets, looking for a victim. This very night, he chose a young woman, who he decided to kill and take a prized possession he could sell off for a hefty price. He waited, walking quietly behind her, until the time was right. In the darkest area, he knew it was time to strike. Gabe got out a launcher and launched a bey right through her chest, killing her upon going through her. She fell to the ground, a pool of blood starting to form. Gabe took the amulet, and began covering up the murder*
Gabe (Thinking): Good thing I brought a knife and wore gloves. Now all I have to do is place this knife right where her wound is, and it’ll be shrugged off as a suicide.
*For reasons such as this, Gabe got away with many murders. Tonight, Shu, accompanied by his new assistant Wakiya, was walking down this very road, hoping to find the murder Killer Gabe. The doctor had taken on a false identity, and Shu had revealed his true identity, once he turned him into a vampire, to be Wakiya. Eventually he saw Gabe, and slowly walked up to him, with the assistance of a cane*
Shu: “Killer Gabe, is it? You’re exactly who I was looking for.”
Gabe: “You’ve got one second to start talking or I end your life.”
Shu: “I simply need help ending someone’s life. Someone who could be a threat to my plans.”
Gabe: “It’d be easier to end your life then work as a pawn.”
*Gabe ran towards Shu and launched. The Beyblade rushed to slice into Shi’a throat, when Shu launched and deflected the Beyblade. Storm Spriggan then sliced into Gabe’s foot. Shu jumped into the air and bit Gabe’s neck, causing him to go limp instantly. Shu took Spriggan out of Gabe’s foot, and waited a few seconds*
Shu (Thinking): Any moment now he should become what I am.
*A few seconds later, Gabe got back up, with his new zombified look*
Shu: “You’re going to go find Valt, and whoever is with him, and kill them. Find a carriage they’ll ride on, and hide inside one of the horses.”
*The new Gabe nodded in agreement, and went off to do so*
Wakiya: “Why let someone else go after Valt for you?”
Shu: “If Valt can defeat Gabe, I’ll know just how powerful he is. Then I’ll be able to prepare for the worst.”
‘The next day, on a road near the hospital’
*Valt had been released from the hospital that day, but had to use a cane to get around for now, since his leg was still fractured from the fight. Krystal was walking alongside him. They noticed as they were walking a man sitting on the grass right beside the road. He was staring at Valt, almost as if he was preparing an attack*
Valt (Thinking): This guy is kinda creepy. I need to be ready for if he attacks me.
*The man ran in for an attack, launching his Beyblade and striking Valt right where the diaphragm was. Valt fell to his knees, wheezing for a few seconds*
Krystal: “What did you do to him!?”
Man: “I didn’t hurt him or anything. In a few seconds he’ll notice his leg is no longer fractured.”
*A few seconds later, Valt noticed the pain in his fractured leg was gone, and that he could walk around on it*
Valt: “H-how did you do this? You fixed my leg.”
Man: “My Beyblade, Rising Ragnaruk, struck you right in the diaphragm. I stuck you just right so it corrected your breathing and allowed your body to open up a new ability that would otherwise stayed dormant.”
Valt: “You’re saying that my breathing fixed my leg?”
Man: “Pretty much. Let me introduce myself. My name is Rantaro, and I’ve come to tell you that Shu is not dead. He still has the core relic and he intends to make an army of zombified bladers to take you down.”
Valt: “How would you know about any of this?”
Rantaro: “Because I was fated to meet a young man, being you, and help him take down an evil power that could take over the world. I overheard the discussion you had with Ken yesterday evening, so I know now you are the one.”
Krystal: “What is he talking about? What’s going on?”
Valt: “I never told you, Krystal. That Shu guy wanted my family’s fortune, and would do anything to get it. Now it seems he’s become zombified and is wanting to take over the world.”
*Krystal looked at them both in confusion*
Rantaro: “How about you two follow me down to a nearby river, so I can teach Valt about the technique I used on him?”
Valt: “I wouldn’t mind doing that. How about you Krystal?”
Krystal: “I guess so.”
*The three walked towards a nearby river, where Rantaro was prepared to teach Valt*
Rantaro: “One thing I noticed is that this Shu was weak to extreme heat, or sunlight, correct?”
Valt: “Well, yes. When Valkyrie landed a hit on Shu, his leg melted right off.”
Rantaro: “Well, my technique will be needed if you are to take down Shu. It’s called Bey Spirit. Without it, you’ll never be able to defeat Shu. It involves breathing techniques, but also forming a bond with your Bey. May I see Valkyrie for a moment?”
Valt: “Sure, but Valkyrie broke during my fight with Shu.”
*Valt handed over the broken Valkyrie to Rantaro. Rantaro held the bey in his hands, closed his eyes, and used his Bey Spirit he had with Ragnaruk. Visible energy that looked like electricity flowed through Rantaro’s hands. A few seconds later, Rantaro handed back Valkyrie, now fixed, but also with a new look. The wings now looked much more like wings, and in the center, a V for Valkyrie*
Valt: “H-How did you do this!? This is incredible!”
Rantaro: “I’ll put it in simple terms. The Bey Spirit that flowed through my hands melted the plastic on your Bey and fused it with the other three parts. I also had to give it a new shape and look for it to work with Bey spirit, since the one you were using isn’t designed to attack people.”
*Rantaro handed back Valkyrie, now Victory Valkyrie, to Valt*
Valt: “Still, that is incredible! I’ll call Valkyrie...Victory Valkyrie! I’ll train in Bey Spirit so I can take down Shu!”
Rantaro: “Ok then. First, let’s show you a somewhat simple technique.”
*Rantaro readies his launcher at an angle towards a rock*
Krystal: “Don’t launch it there! There’s a frog on that rock!”
*Rantaro launches Rising Ragnaruk somewhat weakly, and Ragnaruk hits the frog lightly and bounced off of it. The Bey Spirit energy flows through the frog, prompting the frog to jump off the rock right before the rock broke into two pieces perfectly*
Valt: “I’m a bit confused. How did you not kill the frog when you hit it?”
Rantaro: “When Rising Ragnaruk hit the frog, it was done so lightly, and the Bey Spirit went through the frog and into the rock just as the frog jumped off when only its feet were touching the rock. The lesson you should learn here is that Bey Spirit can travel through any living thing, and when enough Bey Spirit is directed into a smaller area, like the frog’s legs, it can make a clean cut through things.”
Krystal: “I’m not making much sense of this, but this is an amazing thing you can do.”
Valt: “I think I’m getting the sense of this. Guess you’re like my partner now, eh Valkyrie?”
*Rantaro noticed a small amount of Bey Spirit flowing from the hand Valt was holding Valkyrie in*
Rantaro (Thinking): This kid is definitely destined to be the one to take down Shu. Just from a few minutes of observing Bey Spirit, he has already began to form a bond with Victory Valkyrie.
‘In an abandoned castle’
*Shu had found a place where no one roamed, and he could regain power. Wakiya, with his Wyvern, brought back corpses for Shu to suck the blood out of, so he could slowly go back to full health. Right then he was sucking the blood out of a corpse, and was getting close to regaining full health*
Shu (Thinking): Gabe should be able to track them down within a week or two, and kill them if they get too close to my location. Even if he can’t defeat them, by the time they get to me, I will have already regained my full health and would be able to easily deal with them myself.
Shu: “You can have the remains of this corpse.”
*Shu threw the corpse to Wakiya to eat the remains*
To be continued in Chapter 5: Journeying to Find Shu
*Valt had been in the hospital for a few days now, getting better and better. The fight against Shu had taken a toll on him, but within the next few days, he would be out of the hospital. Ken decided to visit Valt on this day. Ken was right at the door when he saw a nurse treating Valt’s wounds. The nurse’s hands were dirty with blood, as if she had been working on him for a while. Ken respected that, and decided to come in. The nurse noticed and questioned Ken*
Nurse: “Are you a friend of the patient’s?”
Ken: “Yes, I am. I already was approved to come up here to visit him, and noticed you were working on him.”
Nurse: “Yeah, I’ve been working on him for the past few days nonstop. He hasn’t woken up since he was admitted.”
*Ken could tell that the nurse had been up for quite awhile without rest. Just then, the nurse fainted, and Valt’s hand swung out and caught her*
Valt (quietly): “Nice to see you came to visit me, Ken.”
*Valt looked at the nurse she’d just caught. He came to a realization that he recognized the nurse*
Valt: “K-Krystal!?”
Krystal: “Nice to see you after a few years, Valt. I’ve been the one treating you while you’ve been in this hospital.”
Valt: “To think you have been the one treating me this whole time I have been here. No wonder your hands are so worn out and bloodied.”
*Ken decided to show himself out, and let the two catch up with each other, which they did for a few hours*
‘That night, in London’
*A well known murderer around the city, named Killer Gabe, or KG, was quietly walking on the streets, looking for a victim. This very night, he chose a young woman, who he decided to kill and take a prized possession he could sell off for a hefty price. He waited, walking quietly behind her, until the time was right. In the darkest area, he knew it was time to strike. Gabe got out a launcher and launched a bey right through her chest, killing her upon going through her. She fell to the ground, a pool of blood starting to form. Gabe took the amulet, and began covering up the murder*
Gabe (Thinking): Good thing I brought a knife and wore gloves. Now all I have to do is place this knife right where her wound is, and it’ll be shrugged off as a suicide.
*For reasons such as this, Gabe got away with many murders. Tonight, Shu, accompanied by his new assistant Wakiya, was walking down this very road, hoping to find the murder Killer Gabe. The doctor had taken on a false identity, and Shu had revealed his true identity, once he turned him into a vampire, to be Wakiya. Eventually he saw Gabe, and slowly walked up to him, with the assistance of a cane*
Shu: “Killer Gabe, is it? You’re exactly who I was looking for.”
Gabe: “You’ve got one second to start talking or I end your life.”
Shu: “I simply need help ending someone’s life. Someone who could be a threat to my plans.”
Gabe: “It’d be easier to end your life then work as a pawn.”
*Gabe ran towards Shu and launched. The Beyblade rushed to slice into Shi’a throat, when Shu launched and deflected the Beyblade. Storm Spriggan then sliced into Gabe’s foot. Shu jumped into the air and bit Gabe’s neck, causing him to go limp instantly. Shu took Spriggan out of Gabe’s foot, and waited a few seconds*
Shu (Thinking): Any moment now he should become what I am.
*A few seconds later, Gabe got back up, with his new zombified look*
Shu: “You’re going to go find Valt, and whoever is with him, and kill them. Find a carriage they’ll ride on, and hide inside one of the horses.”
*The new Gabe nodded in agreement, and went off to do so*
Wakiya: “Why let someone else go after Valt for you?”
Shu: “If Valt can defeat Gabe, I’ll know just how powerful he is. Then I’ll be able to prepare for the worst.”
‘The next day, on a road near the hospital’
*Valt had been released from the hospital that day, but had to use a cane to get around for now, since his leg was still fractured from the fight. Krystal was walking alongside him. They noticed as they were walking a man sitting on the grass right beside the road. He was staring at Valt, almost as if he was preparing an attack*

Chapter 5: Journeying to Find Shu
*Valt had shown interest in training in Bey Spirit, so Rantaro decided to train Valt in Bey Spirit for one week to prepare against Shu and any other foes he was with. It was the same day Valt had met Rantaro, and Krystal decided to leave for now and come back everyday to see how Valt was doing*
Rantaro: “All right then, Valt! Let’s get started! For our first lesson, you will learn how to harness Bey Spirit. It require a specific breathing of keeping the most air in your lungs as you can at almost all times when you use Bey Spirit. Once you learn it and use it enough, it’ll become second nature to you. Watch closely at my breathing and try to replicate it.”
*Rantaro started doing the breathing technique, keeping as much air in his lungs as possible while breathing, and Bey Spirit energy started to spark out of Rantaro’s arms*
Valt: “Doesn’t look too hard. Let me give it a try!”
*Valt attempted to do the breathing correctly, but after a few seconds, nothing was happening*
Rantaro: “Your breathing is too fast. Try breathing a bit slower and see if you see even the smallest amount.”
*Valt tried again, but this time he still couldn’t get a reaction after a few seconds*
Rantaro: “You’re letting out too much air. You’re going to need to keep in as much air as possible and stay at that amount as new air comes in and old air comes out.”
*For the rest of that day, Valt practiced his breathing, and even got some hiccups on one attempt, to which they had to take a break to wait for them to go away. Valt was still going at it even after they had dinner*
Valt (Thinking): I’ve gotta give it one more go. I have to do this to take down Shu.
*As Valt was thinking that, he steadied his breathing, keeping as much air in as possible, and Bey Spirit started to flow from his hands. It stuck a nearby tree and left a burn mark on the side, akin to a mark a fire would leave behind*
Rantaro: “You got it! Keep that kind of breathing up, and you’ll be strong enough to defeat Shu in no time!”
*The next day, Rantaro taught Valt how to control the Bey Spirit he could now generate, and Rantaro decided to keep the training area the area by the river*
Rantaro: “The key to controlling your Bey Spirit is your thoughts. You want to think about what part of the body you want the Bey Spirit to flow through. Like this.”
*Rantaro thought about his Bey Spirit flowing to his finger, and as soon as he did, the Bey Spirit flowed to his finger, and he zapped the ground*
Rantaro: “Make sure to clear your mind as well so you can focus on the thoughts you need to for this, by the way.”
*Valt attempted to clear his mind and think about where he wanted the Bey Spirit to go. It ended up not working and the force of the Bey Spirit shot him into the ground*
Rantaro: “You seemed a bit stressed. Try to keep calm, so you can concentrate and make sure that doesn’t happen again.”
*Valt kept trying, each time a reason why he hadn’t been able to. It took a few hours, but one on attempt at that point, Valt thought about the Bey Spirit going through his right index finger, and the Bey Spirit started to flow through his right index finger, and Valt struck the ground*
Rantaro: “That looked very controlled. Good job, Valt!”
*Valt continued to train throughout the week, taking several hours to properly learn each skill needed to properly use Bey Spirit. He learned things such as how to send Bey Spirit through his Beyblade, as well as how to do the technique Rantaro had done several days earlier, and how to send Bey Spirit through hard objects. Valt struggled with sending a Bey Spirit through hard objects, and wasn’t able to do it well at all. Six days after Valt had started Bey Spirit training, it was his final day of training. Today, he was going to be doing a Bey Spirit match against Rantaro*
Rantaro: “Today, Valt, you will fight me in a Bey Spirit battle. What matters most is that you use what you’ve learned this week to try and defeat me. I will not be holding back.”
Valt: “I understand. I’m ready.”
*The two pulled out their launchers and readied their beys*
Both: “Three, two, one, shoot!”
*The two launched their beys. Riding Ragnaruk took the ground, and held it*
Valt: “Go for it Valkyrie!”
*Victory Valkyrie slammed into Rising Ragnaruk. Ragnaruk held its ground and Valkyrie was thrown from the impact*
Valt: “Keep going for it Valkyrie!”
*Valkyrie kept slamming in Ragnaruk, Ragnaruk not budging*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Use your Bey Spirit Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie had Bey Spirit flowing through it, and Valkyrie went in for the attack. Rising Ragnaruk tilted slightly, and Valkyrie made impact with Ragnaruk. Valkyrie burst on impact*
Valt: “Wait a minute. How could you possibly have won when I went in for the attack?”
*Valt picked up Victory Valkyrie*
Rantaro: “Ragnaruk tilted slightly, which allowed me to make contact with a Bey’s spot of weakness: It’s disc. I sent in Bey Spirit through it and Valkyrie burst.”
Valt: “So am I ready to take down Shu?”
Rantaro: “Not entirely, but we have used up enough time. This morning I heard of a zombified looking creature roaming around a town called Ivanten. We need to go check it out.”
Valt: “Ok then. Can we get an ally that I think could help us? They have a Bey too and even though they can’t use Bey Spirit, I think he’ll be helpful.”
Rantaro: “I guess. We got to go quick though.”
*Valt agreed, and once Valt paid a proper goodbye to Krystal, they set out to Lost Road to get Ken. When they got there, Ken agreed to help out Valt and Rantaro, and they set out to go to Ivanten by carriage horse*
Valt: “Thanks for the ride, Ken.”
Ken: “No problem. I’m just glad my friends agreed to let me borrow it, or otherwise we’d be making this journey on foot.”
Valt: “By the way, Rantaro, how long should the ride be?”
Rantaro: “By carriage, I would say a few hours. By foot it would have taken us half a day to get there.”
Ken: “I knew it was a good idea to use the carriage.”
‘A couple hours later’
Ken: “Looks like we’re coming across a tunnel.”
Rantaro: “That means we’re almost there. A few minutes after we come out fo the tunnel, you should be able to see the town in the distance.”
*As they were entering the tunnel, one of the horses started to act up*
Ken: “Down, boy, down! It’s just a bit of darkness!”
Rantaro: “Ken, I don’t think the horse has any issues with the darkness. I don’t know how, but we might be being attacked by a foe sent from Shu. Get in the carriage, Ken!”
*Ken jumped into the carriage. The horse started jumping around more and more. Rantaro noticed the underside of the horse was wide open, and blood was pouring out onto the dirt road ground*
Rantaro: “I think the enemy’s inside the horse! You two get down!”
*Ranatro used his Bey Spirit and made it go inside the horse. A couple seconds later, a man opened the back up of the horse and jumped out. The horse laid in the ground, dead, and in a pool of blood. The man launched a Beyblade, and it started to attack the brick arching of the tunnel. The walls began to shake and after several big hits, the walls began to crumble*
Rantaro: “Get out of the carriage! The tunnel’s falling apart!”
*The three jumped out behind the carriage, and many the tunnel bricks fell onto the ground, killing the other horse and destroying the carriage. The tunnel was still there, but many of the bricks had fallen and broke*
Rantaro: “We have to kill whoever is in that tunnel. Valt, how’s my chance for me to tell you what’s been holding your Bey Sprit powers back.”
Valt: “What is it?”
Rantaro: “You’ve been wasting a lot of the energy, and it’s been going into other areas of your body. Your lesson today is to defeat whoever is in that tunnel without Valkyrie taking a single click.”
Valt: “But that can’t be possible! If I’m trying to defeat an enemy, it’s going to take at least a couple click.”
Rantaro: “If you’re using all of your Bey Spirit towards Valkyrie, you can prevent it from taking any clicks. Ken, stay out here, and Valt and I will go check out what’s in the tunnel.”
*Ken nodded in agreement, and Valt and Rantaro went into the broken tunnel. The tunnel had turned darker than before, as some broken bricks blocked the light coming from the exit. The two heard footsteps as they walked deeper into the tunnel. Eventually, the man came into sight and launched his Bey. The Bey landed on top of a broken brick and tilted its layer down towards the brick, flinging sharp tiny pieces of brick towards the two*
Rantaro: “Valt! Get Valkyrie out and launch!”
*Valt got his launcher out quickly, and the two launcher their beys. Rising Ragnaruk deflected the attacks and Victory Valkyrie slammed Ragnaruk towards the Bey, still on the broken brick. The Beyblade started wobbling, and pushed Ragnaruk off the brick as soon as it came down towards the Bey*
Rantaro: “His face! It’s Killer Gabe! Which means this Beyblade is Gigant Gaia!”
*Gaia continued its attacks and slowly backed Valt and Rantaro into a corner*
Rantaro: “Valt! Now’s your time! Use what you’ve learned to take down Gabe!”
*Vallt nodded in agreement, and launched Victory Valkyrie. Gabe as well as again went into hiding, and Valt was lost on where Gabe went*
Rantaro (Whispering): “Valt, I see a shadow up ahead. He’s closed off the place he’s hidden into. You’ll have to try and send some Bey Spirit through the wall he’s made.”
Valt: “Why can’t you do it? I’m not sure I’ll be able to do something of that difficulty.”
Rantaro: “Because, Valt, it was a part of your training. I wouldn’t have trained you in a Bey Spirit if I hadn’t seen any potential in you, but I did. With every opponent you beat, you’ll grow stronger both in Bey Spirit and strength.”
Valt: “I guess you’re right. I’ve got to do this for my father. So I can take down Shu.”
*Valt readied his launcher towards the wall. He had to get in through a crack so he could send in as much Bey Spirit as he could. Valt then launched Victory Valkyrie into the wall as hard as he could*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Bey Spirit Absorption Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie slammed into the wall. The wall conducted much of the Bey Spirit, and much of it went through the wall where Gabe was. Gabe had trapped himself in, so his attempt to escape was too slow. The Bey Spirit went through his right arm, and left a hole. The Bey Spirit bounced off the bricks where Gabe was trapped. Gabe tried to cover up his arm, but it was too late. His arm started to melt off and the remaining Bey Spirit went inside of his arm, burning him from the inside out and disintegrating him into ashes. Gaia was laying on a brick right beside the ashes, and a large brick fell onto Gaia, crushing it into pieces. Valt and Rantaro smashed the wall down and saw the remains of Gabe and Gaia*
Rantaro: “You did well, Valt. I have no doubt that if someone will be able to take down Shu, it will be you, Valt.”
Valt: “Thanks. We should probably go get Ken now that this is over.”
Rantaro: “Good idea.”
*The two traveled through the tunnel, and got Ken, who was still standing at the entrance. They walked through the tunnel, and were only a few minutes away from Ivanten*

Rantaro: “Not entirely, but we have used up enough time. This morning I heard of a zombified looking creature roaming around a town called Ivanten. We need to go check it out.”
Valt: “Ok then. Can we get an ally that I think could help us? They have a Bey too and even though they can’t use Bey Spirit, I think he’ll be helpful.”
Rantaro: “I guess. We got to go quick though.”
*Valt agreed, and once Valt paid a proper goodbye to Krystal, they set out to Lost Road to get Ken. When they got there, Ken agreed to help out Valt and Rantaro, and they set out to go to Ivanten by carriage horse*
Valt: “Thanks for the ride, Ken.”
Ken: “No problem. I’m just glad my friends agreed to let me borrow it, or otherwise we’d be making this journey on foot.”
Valt: “By the way, Rantaro, how long should the ride be?”
Rantaro: “By carriage, I would say a few hours. By foot it would have taken us half a day to get there.”
Ken: “I knew it was a good idea to use the carriage.”
‘A couple hours later’
Ken: “Looks like we’re coming across a tunnel.”
Rantaro: “That means we’re almost there. A few minutes after we come out fo the tunnel, you should be able to see the town in the distance.”
*As they were entering the tunnel, one of the horses started to act up*
Ken: “Down, boy, down! It’s just a bit of darkness!”
Rantaro: “Ken, I don’t think the horse has any issues with the darkness. I don’t know how, but we might be being attacked by a foe sent from Shu. Get in the carriage, Ken!”
*Ken jumped into the carriage. The horse started jumping around more and more. Rantaro noticed the underside of the horse was wide open, and blood was pouring out onto the dirt road ground*
Rantaro: “I think the enemy’s inside the horse! You two get down!”
*Ranatro used his Bey Spirit and made it go inside the horse. A couple seconds later, a man opened the back up of the horse and jumped out. The horse laid in the ground, dead, and in a pool of blood. The man launched a Beyblade, and it started to attack the brick arching of the tunnel. The walls began to shake and after several big hits, the walls began to crumble*
Rantaro: “Get out of the carriage! The tunnel’s falling apart!”
*The three jumped out behind the carriage, and many the tunnel bricks fell onto the ground, killing the other horse and destroying the carriage. The tunnel was still there, but many of the bricks had fallen and broke*
Rantaro: “We have to kill whoever is in that tunnel. Valt, how’s my chance for me to tell you what’s been holding your Bey Sprit powers back.”
Valt: “What is it?”
Rantaro: “You’ve been wasting a lot of the energy, and it’s been going into other areas of your body. Your lesson today is to defeat whoever is in that tunnel without Valkyrie taking a single click.”
Valt: “But that can’t be possible! If I’m trying to defeat an enemy, it’s going to take at least a couple click.”
Rantaro: “If you’re using all of your Bey Spirit towards Valkyrie, you can prevent it from taking any clicks. Ken, stay out here, and Valt and I will go check out what’s in the tunnel.”
*Ken nodded in agreement, and Valt and Rantaro went into the broken tunnel. The tunnel had turned darker than before, as some broken bricks blocked the light coming from the exit. The two heard footsteps as they walked deeper into the tunnel. Eventually, the man came into sight and launched his Bey. The Bey landed on top of a broken brick and tilted its layer down towards the brick, flinging sharp tiny pieces of brick towards the two*
Rantaro: “Valt! Get Valkyrie out and launch!”
*Valt got his launcher out quickly, and the two launcher their beys. Rising Ragnaruk deflected the attacks and Victory Valkyrie slammed Ragnaruk towards the Bey, still on the broken brick. The Beyblade started wobbling, and pushed Ragnaruk off the brick as soon as it came down towards the Bey*
Rantaro: “His face! It’s Killer Gabe! Which means this Beyblade is Gigant Gaia!”
*Gaia continued its attacks and slowly backed Valt and Rantaro into a corner*
Rantaro: “Valt! Now’s your time! Use what you’ve learned to take down Gabe!”
*Vallt nodded in agreement, and launched Victory Valkyrie. Gabe as well as again went into hiding, and Valt was lost on where Gabe went*
Rantaro (Whispering): “Valt, I see a shadow up ahead. He’s closed off the place he’s hidden into. You’ll have to try and send some Bey Spirit through the wall he’s made.”
Valt: “Why can’t you do it? I’m not sure I’ll be able to do something of that difficulty.”
Rantaro: “Because, Valt, it was a part of your training. I wouldn’t have trained you in a Bey Spirit if I hadn’t seen any potential in you, but I did. With every opponent you beat, you’ll grow stronger both in Bey Spirit and strength.”
Valt: “I guess you’re right. I’ve got to do this for my father. So I can take down Shu.”
*Valt readied his launcher towards the wall. He had to get in through a crack so he could send in as much Bey Spirit as he could. Valt then launched Victory Valkyrie into the wall as hard as he could*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Bey Spirit Absorption Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie slammed into the wall. The wall conducted much of the Bey Spirit, and much of it went through the wall where Gabe was. Gabe had trapped himself in, so his attempt to escape was too slow. The Bey Spirit went through his right arm, and left a hole. The Bey Spirit bounced off the bricks where Gabe was trapped. Gabe tried to cover up his arm, but it was too late. His arm started to melt off and the remaining Bey Spirit went inside of his arm, burning him from the inside out and disintegrating him into ashes. Gaia was laying on a brick right beside the ashes, and a large brick fell onto Gaia, crushing it into pieces. Valt and Rantaro smashed the wall down and saw the remains of Gabe and Gaia*
Rantaro: “You did well, Valt. I have no doubt that if someone will be able to take down Shu, it will be you, Valt.”
Valt: “Thanks. We should probably go get Ken now that this is over.”
Rantaro: “Good idea.”
*The two traveled through the tunnel, and got Ken, who was still standing at the entrance. They walked through the tunnel, and were only a few minutes away from Ivanten*

Chapter 6: The Bey Knights
Rantaro: “We’re finally here. The town of Ivanten.”
*After Valt took down Killer Gabe and Gigant Gaia, they had went back to get Ken and had traveled through the broken tunnel and walked for about twenty minutes before coming up to the town in the distance. The town looked somewhat gloomy, and lacking of people from the distance*
Rantaro: “Ivanten. A town with a population of only a few hundred. Stay cautious of any foes that might try to attack us. It’s likely someone who works for Shu will be spying on us and making us aware of Shu.”
*Valt and Ken nodded, understanding, and the three made their trek down the hill, where they would enter Ivanten. After a few minutes, they finally arrived at the town*
Valt: “This place is kind of foggy. Couldn’t we be ambushed easily?”
Rantaro: “That is why you have to keep your guard up at all times. Otherwise, we could be killed quickly.”
Valt: “I will be sure to do that.”
Ken: “Me too.”
*The three continued walking through the town, Rantaro remembering that rumors about chaos in the large castle in Ivanten might be the source of the deaths. Following the trio was a boy of 12 years old. He was tiptoeing between the buildings so as not to be spotted. When the trio got to the end of the line of buildings to the left and right, the boy ran towards Valt, who was keeping Victory Valkyrie in his pocket. The trio was talking to each other, and since the boy was very quiet on his toes, he saw the bulge in the pants pocket and proceeded to grab what was inside it: Valkyrie. The boy immediately ran off quickly*
Valt: “That boy! He stole Valkyrie!”
*Valt ran quickly after him, Rantaro and Ken following quickly after. The boy ran across a large river, which had some large stones across it. Every rock he pushed off of would break off and flow across the river. He eventually got to the other side where he continued running*
Rantaro: “Leave this time me, Valt.”
*Rantaro launcher Rising Ragnaruk, and Ragnaruk proceeded to chase after the boy by running across the surface of the water. Bey Spirit was flowing through Ragnaruk as this happened. Eventually, it got to the other side and continued its chase. Rantaro then proceeded to take a large leap and take steps for a quick second across the water with his Bey Spirit keeping him from sinking. He also eventually made it to the other side. By that time, however, Ragnaruk has already taken the boy down*
Rantaro: “Looks like this kid really did steal Valkyrie!”
*Rantaro was holding the boy by the top opening of his shirt. He grabbed Valkyrie out of the boy’s hands and showed it to Valt and Ken, who were still on the other side of the river*
Rantaro: “Got any thing to say for yourself, kid?”
Boy: “That Blue Beyblade looked so cool! Better than my brother’s Deathscyther.”
Rantaro: “Deathscyther?”
*Rantaro carried the kid across the river using Bey Spirit to jump on the water. When they got to the other side, the boy explained*
Boy: “My older brother owns this Beyblade called Deathscyther. I actually have it with me.”
*The boy showed off Deathscyther. The Beyblade had four contact points which were almost like waves of water with a flat front. Unlike Valt and Rantaro’s beys, this one was the simple design that players or past players of Bey Ball owned*
Rantaro: “Why don’t you tell me your name, kid?”
Boy: “My name is Souta. I have an older brother named Daina, and he is the actual owner of Deathscyther.”
Valt: “This Bey looks pretty cool.”
Rantaro: “So Souta, are you lost?”
Souta: “Well, my older brother went to investigate the reports of zombified beasts lurking in the castle a couple days ago. He never came back, and I wanted to go find him. It’s strange he didn’t bring his Bey with him, because he commonly uses it as a weapon in serious situations.”
Valt: “Why did you steal my Bey, then?”
Souta: “Because it looked cool, and also Deathscyther doesn’t seem strong enough to take down anything Daina couldn’t handle.”
Valt: “You shouldn’t steal Beys because of it though. We actually are heading to the castle ourselves too.”
Souta: “You are? That’s great! I’m sure you guys can take down whatever is in that castle!”
Rantaro: “Speaking of which, do you know where it is?”
Souta: “It’s up this large hill, right by some rocky terrain.”
Rantaro: “Guess it’s time to do some climbing then.”
*Both Valt and Ken groaned, knowing this was going to take a while. They began their trek up the hill. Already tired, Valt and Ken had to muster up some determination to keep going.*
Rantaro: “Just to let you know, Valt, just a small amount of Bey Spirit flowing through your body can keep your body going!”
Valt: “Good to know.”
*Valt mustered up some Bey Spirit, and let it flow through his body, giving him some energy like caffeine would. Eventually, he had to carry Ken, who was too tired to keep going. Eventually they reached the top, only to be met by tall rock structures. Rantaro saw a figure encased in the darkness of the night*
Rantaro (Whispering): “Valt, someone is guarding the castle.”
Valt (Whispering): “Why do you say that?”
Rantaro (Whispering): “Look on top of that rock structure.”
*Rantaro pointed to a tall rock structure, the figure emerging from the darkness*
Figure: “Looks like this new friend of yours found me, Valt! No matter, I can just kill the three of you with ease.”
*It was Shu on the rock, his smile sinister and filled with evil. It looked like he already had a plan to kill the three of them, and was ready to execute it. Rantaro launches Rising Ragnaruk and it ricochets off the rock structure. Rantaro jumps and then jumps off of Ragnaruk, sending Rantaro flying higher up the rock structure. He had Ragnaruk in his hand, ready to launch. At Shu’s height, Rantaro tried to launch Ragnaruk, with Bey Spirit flowing through it, with his hands, but was stopped by Shu’s own body. Rantaro’s hands began to freeze, and Shu held him by his hands*
Shu: “Is this the Bey Spirit I have heard about? It requires a breathing technique, right? I’m sure that means it also require blood to flow through where you want the Bey Spirit to go? Without blood flow, you can’t use Bey Spirit, so I decided to drop my body temperature so low, it’d make someone’s body freeze.”
*With Rantaro’s hands frozen together, Shu let go of Rantaro and let him fall. His black top hat fell off his head, and Valt got to him just in time to catch him*
Rantaro: “The freezing is spreading up my arms! I need something hot, and fast!”
*By then, Ken had woken up and seen the situation that they were dealing with. Souta was watching, interested in what was going on exactly*
Ken: “My Kerbeus can create warm sparks on the rocky ground. With enough speed, it should be able to heat up your hands.”
Rantaro: “Go ahead! Valt! Try to take down Shu and don’t let me distract you!”
Valt: “Will do!”
*Ken launched Kerbeus, and Kerbeus ground at the rock, causing large sparks which were warm. Rantaro held his hands over the sparks, and the ice began to thaw. Valt was trying to fend off Shu, but Shu kept fighting back with more power. Valt was beginning to lose energy*
Valt: “You almost done over there, Ken!?”
Ken: “His arms are finishing thawing, then he should be back in action.”
*A few more seconds passed by, and Rantaro was fully headless of his frozen arms*
Rantaro: “Put everything you got into your next launch, Valt!”
*Valt and Rantaro readied their launchers, and launched at full power. The two beys went flying at Shu. Shu launches Storm Spriggan and attempted to deflect the attack. Spriggan was sent flying at Shu’s face. Shu quickly raised his right arm to his forehead, and caught Spriggan*
Shu: “I’m done wasting my time with you guys. Yuugo! Xhaka! Finish them off for me, will you? I’ll be returning to the castle.”
Yuugo and Xhaka: “Yes, sir!”
*The two warriors came out from behind rock structures. They were heavily armored and looked like knights with shining armor. Their skin, however, was very zombified, leading Rantaro to the conclusion that Shu had revived these two knights from the dead to use them as warriors to protect him. One knight weld a large sword shaped launcher. The other one weld a regular launcher. Shu jumped across the rock structures back to his castle*
Rantaro: “Valt, take the one with the sword launcher!”
Valt: “Ok!”
*Rantaro and Valt launched their beys. Ragnaruk battled against the other stamina type, which Yuugo was using*
Yuugo: “My Yaiger Yggdrasil’s Stamina can’t be beaten! Just try to win against Yggdrasil in a stamina battle!”
*Victory Valkyrie started its brawl with a Sword Beyblade, belonging to Xhaka. The Sword bey’s attack power was outstanding, and Valkyrie was having trouble competing with it*
Xhaka: “My Xeno Xcalibur’s attack power is far too great for you to beat! You mind as well fall to your knees while you still have them!”
*Victory Valkyrie was struck hard by Xeno Xcalibur just then, and was sent flying into Valt’s foot. Valt fell on his left knee, and pulled Valkyrie out. Valt had nearly run out of stamina, but knew he had to give it his all*
Valt: “I...I won’t lose to a Blader like you!”
*Valt’s body was scorching with Bey Spirit. Bey Spirit ran through his veins through his body and through his Bey. Valt took a stance, and launched hard. Victory Valkyrie was spinning at a very high speed, and it was leaving sparks behind it where it touched the ground*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Ultra Flash Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie came speeding at Xeno Xcalibur. Xhaka was not ready to give up, however*
Xhaka: “A fancy showoff of your bey isn’t going to lead you far! Go for it, Xcalibur!”
*The two beys collided. Victory Valkyrie pushed with a strong force, leaving Xeno Xcalibur in the dust, flying at a high speed, right through Xhaka’s right leg. The leg shot off and went flying away. Xhaka fell to the ground*
Xhaka: “You think a missing leg is going to stop me? You may be good, but I’m not giving up until I come out as the victor!”
*Xhaka had caught Xeno Xcalibur, and launched it again. Valt launches Victory Valkyrie again with Bey Spririt flowing through it again. Valkyrie smashes into Xcalibur again, but this time, Xcalibur refuses to back down. Valkyrie was flung into the air but came right back down and attacked again. Valkyrie came in with an ongoing barrage of attacks towards Xcalibur. Xcalibur couldn’t keep up and was flung towards Xhaka at a high speed. This time Xhaka caught Xcalibur with his bare hands*
Xhaka: “I already told you: I...Will...Not...Back...Down!”
*Xhaka launched Xeno Xcalibur again at Victory Valkyrie. Valkyrie was slammed into Xcalibur and sent flying into the middle Valt’s chest. Valt had managed to place his hand there on time, but the impact sent him falling down the hill into water. Xhaka threw himself off the hill and came falling after him*
Xhaka: “Now to end you!”
*Valt tried to come up for air, but with Xhaka chasing after him, it was not possible without being killed. Valt tried to find an opening, but could not find one. Xhaka landed in the water, and all Valt could do was swim around the lake. He was running out of time, as Xhaka got ready to launch Xeno Xcalibur*
Valt (Thinking): I have to find a way out of this. What can I do?
*Valt looked down and remembered that air bubbles could come up from river grounds. He started diving down deeper into the river, his lungs already about empty of air. Xhaka launched Xcalibur, and it was coming down fast. Valt reaches the bottom of the river and breathed in an air bubble, then put all of the Bey Spirit he had into his launch*
Valt (Through bubbles):Valkyrie! Aqua Rush Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie rushed towards Xeno Xcalibur and smashed into it, sending Xcalibur flying towards Xhaka. Xhaka was flung out of the water by the impact of Xcalibur and landed on the ground hard, defeated*

Chapter 7: A Beyblade’s Courage
*Xhaka laid on the ground, defeated. He had lost most of his energy, and he was slowly dying, the impact of Xeno Xcalibur ripping right threw his brain. It hit through the right side, so it didn’t kill him immediately, but still he was slowly dying. Valt swam to the land and had his launcher ready if Xhaka tried to attack*
Xhaka: “To think a mortal could defeat me.”
*Xhaka’s zombified persona faded as he was dying. His humanity surfaced right before his death*
Xhaka: “You really are something kid. Back in my day, my Xcalibur was the one to beat, and you made it look easy. As my gift to you, I give you Xcalibur.”
*Xhaka picked up Xeno Xcalibur as he was lying in the ground, and raised his hand up to Valt’s. Valt cupped his hands and Xhaka let Xcalibur fall into Valt’s hands*
Xhaka: “Take Xcalibur, and take down Shu. I believe in you. In another universe, I think we could’ve been good friends. See ya around, kid.”
*The sun rose, and Xhaka’s body was internally exposed to the sunlight. His body began to disintegrate, and it kept disintegrating until Xhaka was no more. Valt put Xeno Xcalibur in his pocket, and went back up the hill to help Rantaro fight Yuugo*
Rantaro: “Ken! Go find Valt! I can’t fend off Yuugo much longer! Bring Souta with you too!”
*Ken nodded, and they both began running down the hill until they saw Valt coming up the hill*
Ken: “He’s already coming up, Rantaro!”
*Valt rushed up the hill and managed to catch up to the action happening on the top. Rantaro was still fighting Yuugo and was having a hard time gaining the edge*
Valt: “Let me help you, Rantaro!”
*Valt launched Victory Valkyrie. Yaiger Yggdrasil now had two Beys to deal with, both Bey Spirit-welding Beys. Yggdrasil managed to take them both head on, blowing both Valkyrie and Rising Ragnaruk several feet away*
Rantaro: “Yuugo is too powerful for us to take on. We have to make a plan to get away from Yuugo.”
Valt: “But how?”
Rantaro: “Ken’s been getting a glider ready. Apparently he knows how to make a simple one. All we can do now is run!”
*Rantaro started making a dashing run for the glider. Valt followed along and Souta was already with Ken, the two getting the glider ready. Rantaro and Valt grabbed onto the glider and pushed off along with Ken and Souta. The glider started going fast, and managed to actually work*
Rantaro: “Yuugo’s gonna have a hard time catching up to us now!”
*After a few minutes, they were deep into the forest they had been by earlier when chasing after Souta. They landed safely, however the glider tore into pieces as they landed into a small tree. The four jumped from the tree and began walking*
Souta: “I think there’s an old dungeon up this trail ahead. Maybe we can make base there for a while before returning to the castle.”
Rantaro: “Yuugo is likely going to be guarding the castle as usual, and if we’re even unluckier, he’ll be coming after us.”
Valt: “I guess since we have a bit of time, Rantaro, how did you learn and obtain your Bey Spirit?”
Rantaro: “Let’s see, I’m 45 years old, so I think about 20 years ago is when I was trained in Bey Spirit.”
*Rantaro explained his story about how he learned the ways of Bey Spirit. Rantaro has encountered a Bey Spirit Master himself when out on an archaeological journey. The Bey Master’s name was Lui Shirasagijo. The Bey Master was 50 years old at the time, and he saw potential for Rantaro at the time, who owned Ragnaruk. Lui helped Rantaro upgrade his Ragnaruk to Rising Ragnaruk in a similar way Rantaro upgrades Valt’s Valkyrie to Victory Valkyrie. Rantaro was questioned by Lui deep into their training, saying if he went any further his life could be in danger in the future. Rantaro was fine with that and wanted to make the risk nonetheless when he heard about the relic all those years ago. Rantaro had then asked Lui to tell him how he would die, since Rantaro knew Lui was capable of doing so. Lui warned Rantaro of the consequences that could come with that, and Rantaro still wanted Lui to tell him how he would die, saying it could help him win against whatever evil should befall him whilst obtaining the relic to destroy it. Lui told him he would die a gruesome death by a beast with great amounts of stamina, in the deep of night, surrounded by people who helped fight with him. Rantaro was satisfied with that at the time, and continued his training until he had learned all he could learn without experience. Rantaro was told to go and continue training in Bey Spirit and to use it for self defense to gain experience with Bey Spirit*
Valt: “I see. I think I would like to train under him after all this, so I can get better at using Bey Spirit.”
Rantaro: “I have no idea whether or not he is even alive anymore. That was 20 years ago, and I have not heard from him since then.”
*After an hour, they finally arrived at the dungeon. Rantaro noticed a figure on the far side of the large dungeon. It looked just like Yuugo, and he had entered through an opening right beside a tree, which he probably climbed up*
Rantaro: “Yuugo found us. We need to face him in here where he will be at a disadvantage. His greatest strength is an attack that requires a large amount of room. All of you get inside the dungeon now.”
*The four scrambled into the dungeon entrance. They had entered a hallway in the dungeon. If they stayed in the hallways, Yuugo would have no chance of defeating them. As they were walking down the hall, Valt was swiped as he passed by one of the doors. Rantaro immediately noticed and scrambled to the door, only to see it immediately being closed in his face*
Rantaro: “Valt! Don’t let Yuugo kill you!”
*Rantaro pounded the door, knowing not even his Bey Spirit could take down the thick, iron door*
Souta: “Can’t you just use your Bey Spirit stuff to take down the door?”
Rantaro: “Bey Spirit isn’t strong enough to go through such strong iron. Unless there’s some other opening, we’re not able to get inside. Start looking for an opening!”
*The three looked around for an opening that might get them inside the dungeon room. Souta saw a opening that was too small for the adults to get to, but his 12 year old self could probably fit in*
Souta (Thinking): It’s up to me. I’m the only one who can save Valt. But I couldn’t possibly actually save him. I’d get slaughtered in an instant. Yet I’m the only one who can. I have to help.
*Souta quietly snuck into the opening. He managed to fit in and it was the equivalent of traveling through a vent. He crawled through the opening until he saw the opening to the room. He crawled through and quietly got out of the opening. Valt was tied by chains around his waist, and was at risk of being banged around to death if he couldn’t escape. He was already being thrown around by Yuugo, who was able to easily control the chains that held Valt. Valt couldn’t get a good hit on Yuugo, as every time he tried to launch Victory Valkyrie, Yuugo would swing the chains around and cause Valt to get thrown around. Souta was very scared during the whole thing, and quietly and slowly went to the door and opened it, creating a loud creaking noise that alarmed Yuugo*
Yuugo: “What do you think you’re doing, kid?”
*Yuugo launched Yaiger Yggdrasil at Souta. Souta froze in fear, and Rising Ragnaruk took the hit for Souta. Rantaro and Ken were now in the room. Rantaro then realized something*
Rantaro (Thinking): The darkness of night was a metaphor for the darkness of the dungeon. A gruesome death to Yuugo, who owns a stamina type bey and is built like a beast. Surrounded by my friends who have helped me fight for this cause.
Rantaro: “My time has come. The prophesy is here.”
Ken: “You mean the one that foretold you’re death?”
Rantaro: “Yes. Now I have to accept the fate which has been foretold to me. There’s no escaping it now.”
*Rantaro started walking towards Valt and Yuugo, knowing his time had come*
To be continued in chapter 8: The Blading Successor
*Xhaka laid on the ground, defeated. He had lost most of his energy, and he was slowly dying, the impact of Xeno Xcalibur ripping right threw his brain. It hit through the right side, so it didn’t kill him immediately, but still he was slowly dying. Valt swam to the land and had his launcher ready if Xhaka tried to attack*
Xhaka: “To think a mortal could defeat me.”
*Xhaka’s zombified persona faded as he was dying. His humanity surfaced right before his death*
Xhaka: “You really are something kid. Back in my day, my Xcalibur was the one to beat, and you made it look easy. As my gift to you, I give you Xcalibur.”
*Xhaka picked up Xeno Xcalibur as he was lying in the ground, and raised his hand up to Valt’s. Valt cupped his hands and Xhaka let Xcalibur fall into Valt’s hands*
Xhaka: “Take Xcalibur, and take down Shu. I believe in you. In another universe, I think we could’ve been good friends. See ya around, kid.”

Chapter 8: The Blading Successor
Rantaro: “Your evil will come to an end, Yuugo. It’s time someone stopped you.”
*Rantaro launched Rising Ragnaruk, and Yuugo turns all his attention to Rantaro and Ragnaruk. He lets the chains Valt was stuck on loose and Valt was freed. Yuugo launches Yaiger Yggdrasil and the two beys collide. Ragnaruk gets flung back to Rantaro. Rantaro is caught off guard and Yuugo quickly throw the chains Valt was previously stuck on and Rantaro was caught at the waist. Yuugo started to pull Rantaro towards him. Rantaro resisted, trying to keep himself away from him*
Yuugo: “It’s time to end this now.”
*Yuugo launches Yaiger Yggdrasil quickly, too Quick for Rantaro to react. Rantaro is sliced right through at the waist, and is cut in two. Both parts of him fall to the ground, Rantaro still alive but weak*
Valt: “Rantaro!”
*Valt’s anger almost led him out of control, but instead, he channels his anger through Victory Valkyrie. With his Bey Spirit surging through him, Valt releases all of his Bey Spirit at once through Valkyrie as he launches*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Ultra Flash Shoot Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie rushes towards Yuugo. Yuugo launches Yaiger Yggdrasil, and Valkyrie slams it across the room into the ground. Valkyrie then goes after Yuugo, who is mostly defenseless without Yggdrasil. Valkyrie continuously pummels into Yuugo and ricocheting off the walls to gain more energy. Yuugo is continuously pummeled until holes began to form as Valkyrie’s hits become harder. Valkyrie aims for Yuugo’s head, and lands it, going right through Yuugo’s brain. Yuugo disintegrates quickly as he falls to the ground, dead. Valt, along with Ken and Souta, runs over to Rantaro to check his condition. Rantaro was on his back, at least what was left of it, seeing his waist and legs on the other side of the room.
Rantaro: “I’ve already accepted my fate. There is nothing I can do about that now that I am dying. My only help now is to you, Valt. I will give you my Bey Spirit, so you can become stronger than you could ever have imagined.”
*Rantaro lets out all of his Bey Spirit at once, all of it absorbing into Valt*
Rantaro: “With that, my work here is done. Let me die in peace now.”
*Rantaro closed his eyes, and the remains of his body went limp. He was dead, and blood was still pouring out from him. Valt and Ken shed a few tears, Souta saddened but not to the point of tears. Ken picked up Rantaro’s yellow and white checkered top hat he always wore, and retired his bowler hat as he put Rantaro’s top hat on*
Ken: “Rantaro. May he live on through our minds and through generations to come.”
Souta: “Where’s his Bey?”
*At that moment, the three realized Rising Ragnaruk had gone missing. The three started searching around the large room quickly, and eventually Valt found Ragnaruk, which was split in two. Valt picked Ragnaruk up and looked at the Bey*
Valt: “Ragnaruk broke during the battle with Yuugo. I think it’s best to burn the remains of Rantaro along with Ragnaruk.”
*Ken and Souta nodded in agreement, and Valt took the top part of Rantaro’s body outside while Ken took the lower half. They set the two parts of Rantaro’s body down close together, almost as if he was one whole body, and Valt place his hand on Rantaro’s chest. Valt concentrated on his Bey Spirit, and the Bey Spirit set the body on fire. Valt quickly placed Rising Ragnaruk’s parts down as he had forgotten to do it before setting the body on fire*
Valt: “To a great friend and instructor. We’ll all miss you.”
*The body and Bey parts only took a few minutes to burn into ashes, but when they did, the wind of the night blew them away*
Ken: “With our memory and Valt as your student, you will never truly die.”
*The three went to bed soon after, and in the morning continued their trek to the castle. They had to pass through the town to get to the castle, and along the way noticed the town got emptier than it had been the previous day*
Ken: “What’s up with the lack of villagers? There were quite a few here yesterday.”
*The three kept walking. Valt noticed a few minutes later a person who looked close to Valt’s age was watching them. The person was following secretively, and Valt kept an eye on him. Eventually, the person showed themselves*
Young Man: “Which one of you is Valt?”
Ken: “Why does it matter to you?”
Young Man: “Because I have been sent by Master Shu to kill Valt. You could call me an assassin of sorts, who goes by Orochi.”
*Orochi was white in color, and wore a white collared long sleeved shirt tucked into blue jeans with a belt on. His hair was brown and was pulled into several large braids that went down the back of his head. He pulled out a guitar from behind him that was being held by a satchel. He started to play a tune and attached his Beyblade to the main body of the behind of the guitar*
Orochi: “I modified my guitar so that it doubles as a launcher for my Bey, Obelisk Odin. The attacks Odin can pull off is unlike anything you can counter.”
*Orochi took his launcher and launched Obelisk Odin. The bey skirted across the dirt road using its rubber driver. Valt got his launcher out quickly and launched Victory Valkyrie. Odin and Valkyrie made contact, and Valkyrie was sent flying towards Valt’s face. Valt caught it before that happened, and launched Valkyrie again. While Valkyrie was a bit faster, Odin had such precise movements that when they came in contact again, Valkyrie was sent flying yet again*
Orochi: “Your Valkyrie can’t beat my Odin. It’s inevitable you’ll lose.”
*Orochi starts strumming hard on his guitar, playing a battle theme of some sort. Obelisk Odin continuously slams into Victory Valkyrie, not holding back at all. Valt decides that it is time to use his special Bey Spirit move*
Valt: “Now Valkyrie! Use your Ultra Flash Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie rushes towards Obelisk Odin on the dirt ground and slams into it, doing little to stop Odin in it’s path*
Orochi: “Odin’s precise rubber tip gives it the edge over your out of control Valkyrie. I have already won.”
*Just then, a Beyblade spinning to the left was launched towards Obelisk Odin. It had two metal dragon heads and had the color scheme of white and transparent. It looked like and moved like an attack type. The Beyblade, full of Bey Spirit, smashed into Odin, sending Odin flying right into the middle of Orochi’s chest as he was caught off guard. Odin went right through and Bey Spirit engulfed his body as he began to melt. Orochi had been zombified by Shu*
Orochi: “I was defeated. So. Easily.”
*Orochi kept melting until he was no more. The melting turned into disintegrating and the ashes were blown away*
Valt: “That was quick. Who does the Beyblade belong to.”
Old man: “Me.”
*An old man stood a few feet behind Valt. The old man was white in color and wore a sleeveless light blue collared shirt. He had a purple tie on as well as dark blue pants. He wore black boots and had a black, hairy scarf on. His hair was black, and had the shape of an aggressive thunder cloud. He walked over to Valt and two other men of a younger age came in behind the old man*
Old man: “I’m Lui, mentor to Rantaro, who I assume is dead now. The two behind me are Zac and Naoki.”
*Both Zac and Naoki were white in color, and Zac had blonde hair going down all the way to his waist. To the left and right were two red streaks of hair on Zac’s head. He wore a black karate style robe with black karate pants and black boots. Naoki had his hair pointing straight up and spiked. He was more or less buff, and wore a sleeveless white karate outfit with white boots*
Valt: “I’ve heard about you, Lui. Nice to met you three.”
*Souta hid behind Ken out of minor shyness. Ken convinced him to meet the three, so both Souta and Ken greeted the three Bey Spirit Bladers*
Valt: “Why did you all come out here though, Lui?”
Lui: “After hearing about killings from a zombified beast, I knew it was then time to take down the beast that we knew was coming for many, many years.”
Valt: “I’m assuming you’ll join us on our journey then.”
Zac: “Anything to avenge our friend Rantaro.”
Naoki: “Our wait has finally come to an end. Let’s take down the zombified beast and put an end to the relic’s madness.”
*The now group of six started walking towards the castle, knowing Shu would be waiting around the top*
‘In Shu’s castle at the top’
Young man: “Let me out of here!”
*The young man, whose black hair was tall and spiked, banged on the iron door hard. He wore a red headband as well with a few beads attached to it, and he was white in color. He was around Valt’s age, and had explored the castle to try and figure out what had been going on with the killings in the town. He had been captured by Wakiya and was now stuck in the dungeon part of the castle*
Shu: “You just don’t quit, do you, Daina?”
Daina: “So are you the one who has been behind the murders of people in this town?”
Shu: “You could say that. Honestly Wakiya should have disposed of you the moment he saw you, but I guess instead I can just propose an idea to you instead. Become an immortal beast like me, and you can serve alongside me like Wakiya does.”
Daina: “Like I would ever join you!”
*Dania slides his hand between the bars in the door window and punches Shu in the face. It was quite a fast punch so Shu was caught off guard. Shu twitched and put his hand on the cheek that had been punched*
Shu: “A foolish action and decision. I will allow Ukyo to kill you then.”
Daina: “U-Ukyo?”
*Shu had already left, and on the other side of the dungeon room, and large door opened up. On the other side of that door was a large zombified beast, which almost didn’t resemble a human. The beast was Ukyo. Ukyo was more of a tannish white and wore a mask. He was quite tall as well. He had only one eye, the other one where an eye would be was replaced with an eye patch of sorts. He wore only brown, baggy pants. Ukyo was armed with a Bey. Daina cowered in fear on the other side of the dungeon room*

Rantaro: “Your evil will come to an end, Yuugo. It’s time someone stopped you.”

*Just then, a Beyblade spinning to the left was launched towards Obelisk Odin. It had two metal dragon heads and had the color scheme of white and transparent. It looked like and moved like an attack type. The Beyblade, full of Bey Spirit, smashed into Odin, sending Odin flying right into the middle of Orochi’s chest as he was caught off guard. Odin went right through and Bey Spirit engulfed his body as he began to melt. Orochi had been zombified by Shu*
Orochi: “I was defeated. So. Easily.”
*Orochi kept melting until he was no more. The melting turned into disintegrating and the ashes were blown away*
Valt: “That was quick. Who does the Beyblade belong to.”
Old man: “Me.”
*An old man stood a few feet behind Valt. The old man was white in color and wore a sleeveless light blue collared shirt. He had a purple tie on as well as dark blue pants. He wore black boots and had a black, hairy scarf on. His hair was black, and had the shape of an aggressive thunder cloud. He walked over to Valt and two other men of a younger age came in behind the old man*
Old man: “I’m Lui, mentor to Rantaro, who I assume is dead now. The two behind me are Zac and Naoki.”
*Both Zac and Naoki were white in color, and Zac had blonde hair going down all the way to his waist. To the left and right were two red streaks of hair on Zac’s head. He wore a black karate style robe with black karate pants and black boots. Naoki had his hair pointing straight up and spiked. He was more or less buff, and wore a sleeveless white karate outfit with white boots*
Valt: “I’ve heard about you, Lui. Nice to met you three.”
*Souta hid behind Ken out of minor shyness. Ken convinced him to meet the three, so both Souta and Ken greeted the three Bey Spirit Bladers*
Valt: “Why did you all come out here though, Lui?”
Lui: “After hearing about killings from a zombified beast, I knew it was then time to take down the beast that we knew was coming for many, many years.”
Valt: “I’m assuming you’ll join us on our journey then.”
Zac: “Anything to avenge our friend Rantaro.”
Naoki: “Our wait has finally come to an end. Let’s take down the zombified beast and put an end to the relic’s madness.”
*The now group of six started walking towards the castle, knowing Shu would be waiting around the top*
‘In Shu’s castle at the top’
Young man: “Let me out of here!”
*The young man, whose black hair was tall and spiked, banged on the iron door hard. He wore a red headband as well with a few beads attached to it, and he was white in color. He was around Valt’s age, and had explored the castle to try and figure out what had been going on with the killings in the town. He had been captured by Wakiya and was now stuck in the dungeon part of the castle*
Shu: “You just don’t quit, do you, Daina?”
Daina: “So are you the one who has been behind the murders of people in this town?”
Shu: “You could say that. Honestly Wakiya should have disposed of you the moment he saw you, but I guess instead I can just propose an idea to you instead. Become an immortal beast like me, and you can serve alongside me like Wakiya does.”
Daina: “Like I would ever join you!”
*Dania slides his hand between the bars in the door window and punches Shu in the face. It was quite a fast punch so Shu was caught off guard. Shu twitched and put his hand on the cheek that had been punched*
Shu: “A foolish action and decision. I will allow Ukyo to kill you then.”
Daina: “U-Ukyo?”
*Shu had already left, and on the other side of the dungeon room, and large door opened up. On the other side of that door was a large zombified beast, which almost didn’t resemble a human. The beast was Ukyo. Ukyo was more of a tannish white and wore a mask. He was quite tall as well. He had only one eye, the other one where an eye would be was replaced with an eye patch of sorts. He wore only brown, baggy pants. Ukyo was armed with a Bey. Daina cowered in fear on the other side of the dungeon room*

Chapter 9: Ultimate Battle! Valt & Shu
*The group had been walking for half an hour before they finally arrived at Shu’s castle. They were prepared for whatever zombified beasts they were to encounter, and entered the castle. A long corridor awaited them*
Ken: “Where’s Shu even gonna be?”
Valt: “I presume on the top floor. We’ll have to fight off anything that comes after us until then.”
*They get to the end of the corridor, and start walking up the spiral stairs. The group notices dungeon rooms, so the begin to look through them. Monstrous sounds are heard halfway up the castle*
Souta: “What could that sound be?”
Lui: “Zombified beasts. This castle should be crawling with them to protect Shu.”
*The sounds got louder and louder, until they got right next to one dungeon room where the sound was right next to them*
Valt: “The sound is coming from this dungeon room! Look! There’s someone in the room as well.”
Lui: “That’s a giant zombified beast.”
*The young man, who was Daina, was in the corner, barely dodging Ukyo’s attempts to eat him*
Ken: “We gotta get in and save him!”
*Valt tried to budge the door open, but was unable to*
Valt: “I can’t get it open. We’re gonna have to take the door down!”
*The group readied their beys. They all launched at once, and used their special Bey Spirit moves on the door. The door shook quickly with force, and was shaken with so much force that the door broke down. The group entered the dungeon room to save Daina*
Daina: “Who the heck are you guys?”
Zac: “We’re Bey Spirit users, and we’re here to save you.”
*With that, Zac launches Zillion Zeus, and sliced Ukyo’s left arm clean off. Naoki saw the chance to strike, and launched Nova Neptune to finish Ukyo off*
Ukyo: “I won’t let you finish me off that easily!”
*Ukyo single handedly launched Unlock Unicorn, deflecting Nova Neptune. Lui came in and launched Lost Longinus straight into the gaping hole where Ukyo’s arm used to be. Ukyo was unable to launch Unicorn on time and was quickly destroyed from the inside out in the form of an explosion of body parts. Unicorn was also quickly destroyed as well as it disintegrated from the explosion*
Valt: “Are you ok?”
Daina: “Yes. Who are you people anyways really?”
Lui: “We’re people who have come to destroy the being known as Shu using our Bey Spirit powers. What’s your name, kid?”
Daina: “The name’s Daina, and it appears my younger brother has found his way into your group. You got my Bey, Souta?”
*Souta stepped out from behind the entrance of the dungeon room and walked down the stairs down to Daina*
Souta: “It’s right here.”
*Souta rustles through his pocket and grabs Deathscyther, then gives it to Daina*
Daina: “Thanks for taking good care of Deathscyther while I was gone.”
Souta: “No problem, Daina.”
Lui: “I suppose you should be heading home now. You wouldn’t want to get yourself involved in this mess of things anymore.”
Daina: “You lot of warriors makes me want to fight for this cause to protect my town even more. The only thing I don’t want is Souta involved in this anymore.”
Souta: “If you want to fight with these warriors, then I’d love to stay with you Daina.”
*Daina lets out a sigh*
Daina: “No point in trying to convince you. I guess we shall go up to the tower and fight Shu then.”
Lui: “Fight him we shall. To the top floor we go!”
Group: “Yeah!”
*The group heads up the stairs leading to the top floor of the castle. They were shocked by how easy it was to get up to the top floor of the tower. When they arrived, two large doors awaited them*
Naoki: “Leave it to me, Lui.”
Lui: “Go ahead.”
*Naoki launches Nova Neptune into the large doors, smashing through the large doors easily an creating a large hole in the doors. The group enters and on the other side is a large throne room. On the other side of the room sits Shu, sitting on the throne. Surrounding him is a multitude of zombified beasts, many of them well built and large. Shu sits there, as if he had expected the group to come*
Shu: “Looks like you finally got here, Valt. This group of people can’t save you now.”
Valt: “Your reign of terror ends here, Shu! I won’t let you continue any longer!”
*Shu lets out a loud, evil laugh*
Shu: “Then come at me, Valt.”
*Valt runs towards Shu, launching Victory Valkyrie. Valkyrie spins at high speeds and Shu launches Storm Spriggan. The two beys clash, and Valkyrie was sent flying into a wall*
Shu: “You have no idea who you’re messing with. Since last time, I have only gotten stronger, Valt, and I will stroke you down!”
*Valt, unarmed, had no way to defend himself against the upcoming Storm Spriggan. Nova Neptune was launched and deflected Storm Spriggan*
Naoki: “With four Bey Spirit users, victory belongs to us!”
*Valt managed to grab Victory Valkyrie, and the four Bey Spririt users launched their beys. Storm Spriggan was launched again and deflected all four beys*
Lui: “He is more powerful than we thought. We’ll have to use special techniques against him!”
Shu: “I’m afraid your fight with me ends here. Beasts, awaken!”
*The zombified beasts came out from the darkness, and started leaping towards the group of four. Lui launched Lost Longinus, and one by one, took out the zombified beasts, until none were left*
Lui: “Now, Longinus! Lost Spiral Overdrive!”
*Lost Longinus sped towards Shu quickly, getting faster as it got closer to Shu. Shu launched Storm Spriggan and deflected Longinus into the ground, where it got stuck in the ground*
Shu: “Defenseless now? No matter, I’ll kill you right here and now!”
*Storm Spriggan rushed towards Lui at a quick speed, until Naomi steps in the way*
Lui: “Don’t do it, Naoki!”
*Naoki launches Nova Neptune, but was quickly deflected into a wall by Storm Spriggan. Storm Spriggan went right through Naoki’s neck, and Naoki’s body went flying into a wall, his head not going as far*
Lui: “Naoki!”
*Naoki was still alive, his head still alive somehow. He looked over at Lui*
Naoki: “Lui, throw me me Bey, now!”
*Lui threw Nova Neptune at Naoki’s head. Naoki caught it with his teeth. Shu was dealing with Zac and Valt*
Shu: “Looks like I actually killed one of you. I’ll deal with all three of you at once!”
*Naoki saw that as a cue, and threw Nova Neptune at Shu with his mouth. It ended up catching Shu off guard and the bey had been thrown hard, so hard that it lodged itself into Shu’s left eye*
Shu: “You idiot! My eye!”
*Shu stumbled backwards, almost falling off the balcony right behind his throne. Shu caught himself with his head, and tore the Beyblade out of his eye. Naoki died right then, and Shu destroyed Nova Neptune with one hit using Storm Spriggan*
Lui (Sreaming): “Naokiiiiiiiiii!”
*Lui kneeled and raised his hands, letting out tears of sadness while he was screaming*
Lui: “You’ll pay for this!”
*Lui launched Lost Longinus, channeling his anger into his launch. He kept a steady hand as usual, but let out a much stronger launch. Shu launched Storm Spriggan, but was deflected by Longinus*
Shu: “What!?”
*Shu attempted to dodge Lost Longinus, but wasn’t successful as Longinus went right through Shu’s right arm. Longinus ricocheted right back to Lui, and Lui caught Longinus*
Shu: “You forget I have regeneration abilities!”
*Within seconds, Shu’s arm was fully healed. His eye was taking longer to heal, but was still healing quickly. Shu launched Storm Spriggan and smashed Lui into a wall so quickly that it caught Lui off guard. Zac launched Zillion Zeus, but Spriggan smashed it into a wall, sending it going through a wall into an entire floor down in the castle*
Zac: “Zeus!”
*Zac quickly ran down the spiral stairs to retrieve Zillion Zeus. Shu let out an evil cackle. Lui was still laying by the wall, being knocked out by the impact of Storm Spriggan*
Shu: “It was about time I got serious about this. All that is left is you, Valt.”
Valt: “Bring it on! I’m not afraid to show my full power!”
Shu: “Then I won’t be either.”
*Valt ran to Shu and launched right in front of him. Victory Valkyrie froze upon contact of Shu*
Valt: “What!?”
Shu: “I’m able to control my body temperature much better than before. Who knew a couple days is all that’s needed?”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan right into Valt’s arm, to which it got lodged in*
Valt: “Auuuugh!”
*Valt pulled Storm Spriggan out of his arm and threw it onto the ground. Spriggan was durable and bounced right back into Shu’s hands*
Valt: “I’m done playing around!”
*Valt took several steps backward. Shu watched and wondered what he was doing*
Shu: “Go ahead and put on your little show, Valt.”
*Valt ignored Shu, and did three high jumps, and on the third one, launched Victory Valkyrie. Shu simply launched Storm Spriggan and deflected Valkyrie*
Shu: “It doesn’t matter where you launch your Bey, Valt, I can just continue to deflect it!”
*Just then, a Bey went right through Shu’s right leg, chopping it clean off and sending it flying. The Bey was Xeno Xcalibur. The Bey broke into three pieces and fell down the castle onto the ground below*
Shu: “Who needs a leg? I’ll launch with my teeth if I have to!”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan onto the ground, this time slanted, so that Spriggan’s rubber would touch the ground. The Bey moved incredibly fast, banking every several feet. Valt launched Victory Valkyrie, but was deflected back faster than before*
Shu: “My power is too great! How could you ever counter this?”
Valt: “With this!”
*Valt jumped onto Storm Spriggan and used it to boost off of, stabbing Victory Valkyrie into Shu’s neck. Valkyrie immediately froze, as well as Valt’s left hand and arm*
Shu: “I’ve won!”
*Shu punched Valt right in the face, sending him right into the ground. Valt was still holding Victory Valkyrie in his left hand. He tore it from his frozen hand, and used Bey Spirit to warm up Valkyrie and melt the ice off. He didn’t have enough to thaw his arm and hand, however. Valt readied his launcher towards the ground, sticking his launcher in his frozen left hand*
Shu: “Looks like you’re getting desperate, Valt!”
*Valt launched Victory Valkyrie hard. Valkyrie hit the ground a ricocheted towards Shu*
Valt (Yelling): “Valkyrie! Ricochet Wing Launch Overdrive!”
*Shu launched Storm Spriggan, expecting to deflect Victory Valkyrie. Instead, Storm Spriggan was deflected and Valkyrie went right through Shu’s neck, loping his head right off and having it land on the railing of the balcony*
Shu: “D-d-defeated by a mortal...Impossible!”
Valt: “Your time to die has come, Shu!”
*Valt kicked Shu’s head off the balcony, at the bottom was Wakiya, who retrieved Shu’s head once it fell into the river nearby. Valt landed on his knees, and Ken and Souta had watched the whole thing happen before their eyes. Zac then came through the entrance of the top of the castle and saw Shu’s body on the ground of the top floor. Valt was on his knees, and let out silent tears. Valt had finally defeated Shu*

Chapter 10: One Final Overdrive
Ken: “Valt! Help me pull this out!”
*Valt had just defeated Shu. He had beheaded him, and his head had fallen into a river. Storm Spriggan had been laying beside a wall, the relic still inside its core. Ken was trying to pull the core out, but with no success*
Valt: “Just give me the bey real quick.”
*Ken handed the bey to Valt, who proceeded to grab the core with has bare fingers. Valt pulled hard, and managed to pull the core out. Unfortunately, Valt did not have a very good grip on Storm Spriggan, and Spriggan went flying into the river as well*
Zac: “Good riddance to any bey that was Shu’s.”
*Valt drew a tear for Shu, his brother turned evil by this world. Ken went to the bottom of the castle and placed the relic on a rock. His took his boot to it and smashed the relic into several pieces. No one would ever try to become a zombified beast again and try to conquer the world*
‘One month later, in Ken’s vacation home he was staying at for the time being’
‘Dear friends,
As you know, I’ve quit my life of evil and decided to travel with a new friend of mine, Valt, to take down this beast that went by the name of Shu. Valt ended up striking him down, and now this world is saved thanks to him. Valt decided to get back to his lover, Krystal, and married her. Now they’re going on a honeymoon to the America’s. I’m sure they’ll enjoy themselves, and I decided to rent a vacation home to see them off. In fact,’
*Ken looked at his watch on his right wrist. The hands said 7:55 AM*
Ken: “Their ship is leaving in five minutes!?”
‘Looks like the ship is leaving in five minutes, so I’ll end the note off here. By the way, I go by Kensuke now.
Sincerely, Kensuke’
*Kensuke rushed off to the docks, hoping he could make it in time. He had tried to get as close to the docks as possible, but the area was popular and so it was hard to rent a house close to the oceans, where people usually liked the view of. Kensuke jumped over many fences to get to the dock as fast as possible. Finally he belly slid under two people carrying a chest onto the same ship Valt and Krystal were boarding on. Kensuke jumped onto his feet and patted the concrete ground off of his formal clothes*
Lui: “Kensuke! What took you so long?”
Kensuke: “I was writing a letter and lost track of time.”
Lui: “Well, the ship is about to leave! Go say goodbye to the two.”
Zac: “Lui, the ship is already leaving.”
Lui: “Oh. Guess you’ll have to wave goodbye to them from here then.”
Kensuke: “Goodbye, Valt! Goodbye, Krystal! May your honeymoon be great!”
Valt: “See ya, Kensuke!”
Krystal: “Thanks, Kensuke! See you later!”
*The couple stood side by side and waved goodbye to the group that accompanied Valt on his journey. The two decided breakfast was a good idea and went down to the restaurant within the ship. They were seated immediately and awaited a waiter*
Valt: “My Father’s fortune really did us a favor!”
Krystal: “I’m just glad this whole mess of yours is over. Now we can finally relax and enjoy just the two of us.”
*Valt looked around the restaurant, of course seeing people in suits and tuxedos. One, however, stood out to him. In fact, it was a man of average size. It looked like he was hiding something, and he resembled Wakiya a great amount. In fact, the man looked just like Wakiya. Valt rubber his eyes, thinking it was a hallucination of some sort. He looked again and still saw Wakiya. He knew his eyes weren’t playing tricks now. Wakiya saw Valt, and immediately ran to the door that lead downstairs*
Valt: “Hang on, Krystal, I need to go do something. I’ll be right back.”
*Valt ran to the door Wakiya had went through a few seconds earlier and opened it. He shut it behind him and left Krystal confused for about a minute*
Krystal (Thinking): “That’s not like Valt to do something like that. It’s not the bathroom door either. Something’s up.”
*Krystal hurried to the door and opened it, shutting it behind her*
...
*Valt was chasing after Wakiya, Wakiya running all the way down to the boiler room and revealing his hidden object*
Valt: “Sh-Sh-Shu!?”
*Wakiya was holding Shu’s head, which was inside of a container which kept him alive with just his head*
Shu: “Surprised, Valt? I told you, I’ll fight you with just my head if I have to!”
*Wakiya caught Valt off guard and launched Wild Wyvern expertly. Valt launched Victory Valkyrie, who Valt kept with him just in case, and tried to deflect Wyvern. Valkyrie was sent flying into the room’s wall and Valt attempted to dodge Wyvern. Wyvern barely grazed Valt’s neck, but it was enough to make him lose his breath. Valt fell on his knee, and gasped for air*
Shu: “I’ve been training Wakiya this past month to become stronger, and it looks like it paid off! Because my body is no more, I shall take yours and live on to take over the world!”
Valt (Wheezing for air): I...won’t let you!”
*Valt grabbed Victory Valkyrie and put all of his Bey Spirit into it. He then launched hard towards Wakiya*
Valt: “Valkyrie! Victory Launch Overdrive!”
*Victory Valkyrie bounced towards Wakiya. Wakiya launched Wild Wyvern, but Wyvern was immediately deflected by Valkyrie, and Valkyrie went right through Wakiya’s brain, instantly dropping to the ground and killing him. Valt dropped to the floor in a sitting position. Krystal then arrived at the boiler room and saw Valt’s condition*
Krystal: “Valt!”
Shu: “Look who it is! Wakiya has already infected the people inside their rooms, o it’s only a matter of time before the entire ship is zombified! Now you can watch Valt die as I take his body!”
*The zombified beasts started to appear. People who weren’t zombified yet were running everywhere to get away from the zombified beasts. Some had even ran to the boiler room. The ship began to fall apart in the hands of the zombified beasts, who started to tear apart the ship’s internals. One woman with a baby in the boiler room was running down the stairs and was crushed by a vent*
Valt: “Krystal, s-save yourself while you still can.”
Krystal: “I refuse! I had wanted to die by your side, so do so I will!”
Valt: “But you can escape. I’m done for, and also, that woman who is crushed over there managed to save their baby. Take that baby, hide in that chest over there to your right, and make it to shore. The chest should be strong enough to survive any explosions should the ship do so. Take my Victory Valkyrie, and give it to our child. May they make great use of Valkyrie.”
*Valt was barely hanging on, still gasping for air and barely getting any. Valt handed Krystal Victory Valkyrie, to which Krystal took. Shu’s head came tumbling towards Valt as the ship started to turn to one side. Krystal fled and took the baby from the crushed mother. The baby was still crying, and Krystal hid in the chest. Shu clung onto Valt using his teeth, and Storm Spriggan was inside Shu’s neck. He had kept Spriggan inside there for this very moment. The ship started to catch on fire, and the boiler room did as well. Valt grabbed Shu’s head, and did not let go. Shu let go of Valt*
Shu: “Valt, please do not do this! You can still see Krystal again if you give me your body.”
Valt: “Over my dead body. Heh heh. It almost feels like we’re bonding”
*Valt’s head swung forward and went limp. He took his final breath in and out, and died. Shu realized this and knew it was probably over. A few seconds later, the ship exploded, killing all the zombified beasts on it. Ship parts flew everywhere around the ocean area. The chest Krystal was hiding in managed to survive in one piece. A few minutes later, Krystal opened the chest slightly and peeked out. All she saw was endless ocean*
Krystal (Thinking): “I hope I come across land eventually. Otherwise I did this for nothing.”
*After half a day, the chest finally came across a small island, which was luckily inhabited by a town. Krystal was lucky to have some money on her so she could buy some food. A captain offered to take her back to England, where she could return to her family and raise her now two babies, one still not born yet. She accepted, and sailed to her home country*
The End...for now.
Coming Soon: Part 2 of A Beyblade’s Bizarre Adventure: Valkyrie Tendency
Ken: “Valt! Help me pull this out!”

The ship started to catch on fire, and the boiler room did as well. Valt grabbed Shu’s head, and did not let go. Shu let go of Valt*
Shu: “Valt, please do not do this! You can still see Krystal again if you give me your body.”
Valt: “Over my dead body. Heh heh. It almost feels like we’re bonding”
*Valt’s head swung forward and went limp. He took his final breath in and out, and died. Shu realized this and knew it was probably over. A few seconds later, the ship exploded, killing all the zombified beasts on it. Ship parts flew everywhere around the ocean area. The chest Krystal was hiding in managed to survive in one piece. A few minutes later, Krystal opened the chest slightly and peeked out. All she saw was endless ocean*
Krystal (Thinking): “I hope I come across land eventually. Otherwise I did this for nothing.”
*After half a day, the chest finally came across a small island, which was luckily inhabited by a town. Krystal was lucky to have some money on her so she could buy some food. A captain offered to take her back to England, where she could return to her family and raise her now two babies, one still not born yet. She accepted, and sailed to her home country*
The End...for now.

Part 2 Chapter 1: New York’s Valkyrie
*Three older men were walking up some old, stone pillar stairs. The stairs were covered with moss, and the four older men were looking for relics. Specifically, God Chip relics. They had heard that some still existed, and wanted to destroy them so that no one could try and take over the world again. They finally arrived at the top, and found many of the God Chip relics*
Man with top hat: “This is a lot of the relics. We have to destroy every single one of these.”
Black-haired man: “There are so many of them, Kensuke. Not to mention that there seems to be a stone body here with a Bey encased in stone as well.”
Kensuke: “No matter, Lui. It’s time to do what we came here to do. Zac, Lui, start destroying the relics!”
*The three started destroying relics, or so it seemed. Zac came up to Kensuke and shot Zillion Zeus right at him. Kensuke deflected the shot with Kaiser Kerbeus and turned around to face Zac*
Kensuke: “I should have known you had evil intentions when you were hesitant to destroy the relics on our way here.”
*Zac launches Zillion Zeus right into Kensuke’s head, splitting it open. Kensuke felt o his knees and fell flat on the ground. Zac then went up to Lui next and launched Zillion Zeus right through his skull, killing him instantly. Zac the tore one of the relics out of the stone pillar and positioned Zillion Zeus right on his heart. He then put the relic on top of Zeus. He then covered the relic with blood. The relic reacted by breaking right through Zeus’ core and going right into Zac’s heart. He fell on the ground, and a few seconds later, had become a zombified beast*
Zac: “Now to get rid of them.”
*Zac threw the two bodies into the river, thinking they would eventually sink to the bottom, never to be seen again. Zac then left using the car they brought there*
*In New York, New York, a teen guy of 16 years old with darker skin was walking on a sidewalk in the inner part of the city. He noticed someone who didn’t seem to be paying much attention to his wallet, so he walked discreetly beside the young man, and swiftly stole the wallet. He started running quickly away from him. The young man noticed his wallet was stolen and started chasing after him. The teen guy was backed into an alleyway by two corrupt police officers*
Police Officer #1: “Well, well, well, what do we have here? A pickpocket? We’ll be sure to send you to jail for a while.”
Police Officer #2: “Looks like he needs a good ol’ whack in the head.”
*The second police officer got out his club and swung it at the teen guy. A beyblade swept right into the club and broke it in half. The Beyblade ricocheted into the brick wall and into a young man’s hands. It was the same young man who’s wallet was stolen by the teen guy*
Young Man: “What are you two doing picking on this guy? I’m giving you one chance to stop before I take action.”
Police Officer #1: “You think you’re gonna stop us? Just try! I’ll hit you with my club before you can interfere!”
*The first police officer got his club out and swung it at the young man. The young man squeezed his Beyblade and the God Chip popped out, breaking right through the club and slamming into the first police officer’s nose. His nose broke and started bleeding. The God Chip ricocheted back into the young man’s hand, and the first police officer held his hands to his nose*
Police Officer #1: “My nose! How dare you break my nose!”
*The second police officer threw a punch, to which he missed. The young man launched his Beyblade into the first police officer’s gut, making him pass out onto the ground. The second police officer also threw a punch, but this time the young man threw a punch to the face, in which the second police officer also passed out on the ground. The young man held out his hand to the teen guy, who was still crouching on the ground*
Young Man: “You need help? The name’s Valto. What’s yours?”
Teen Guy: “That was kind of cool, Valto. Mine is Rankarto. How did you do that thing with your Bey? Where the core popped out?”
Valto: “I think it’s called Bey Spirit. I know my grandfather was able to harness this power but not much else. I really only use it if I want to. It’s very unpredictable sometimes though.”
Rankarto: “I’ve never seen anyone do something like that.”
Valto: “Now, you need to give me back my wallet, mister.”
Rankarto: “Whatever. Here you go.”
*Rankarto looked away from Valto when he handed the wallet to him. Valto kindly took it from his hands*
Valto: “Despite what you did, I’d like to offer to take you to dinner, if you’d like to.”
Rankarto: “You serious? I’d love to!”
Valto: “Ok then! Follow me over to our apartment so I can let Granny Krystal know.”
Rankarto: “Your granny? Why your granny?”
Valto: “My parents died at a young age, so Granny Krystal took me in.”
Rankarto: “I see. Well I’m in for some free dinner myself!”
Valto: “Ok then. Follow me.”
*Rankarto followed Valto to his apartment. Rankarto formally greeted Valto’s granny and introduced himself*
Rankarto: “I’m Rankarto. Valto here beat up some corrupt police officers for me today that were gonna arrest me.”
*Granny Krystal slid down her glasses and gave Valto a stern look in her rocking chair*
“I’m gonna lay it to you straight, Valto. You’ve gotta stop beating up law enforcement. Even if they’re corrupt, it’s against the law. So please, just stop.”
Valto: “Heh heh. Alright then, Granny Krystal.”
*About an hour later, after some discussion, the three had someone from Kensuke’s new foundation send for a small cab. When it got there, the three stepped into the cab and went on their way*
Valto: “Granny Krystal, there’s been something I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
Granny Krystal: “Yes?”
Valto: “So about Uncle Kensuke. Granfather’s been dead since before my father was out of the womb. Kensuke is around the same age as you, so I was wondering maybe if you and him have a secret affair-“
Granny Krystal: “Shut your trap this instant boy!”
*Granny Krystal starts smacking Valto in the head with her cane. The cab driver took a glance at what was happening back there*
Cab Driver: “Is everything all right back there?”
Granny Krystal: “Of course. This young man just needs to have some sense beat into him sometimes.”
*About ten minutes later, they arrived at the restaurant, named Giorno’s Gelato’s. They restaurant was known for it’s delectable gelatos, but also for it’s tasty Italian food. The three were seated relatively quickly, and a waiter came to them quickly as well. They ordered, and half an hour later, they were served*
Valto: “What is the green sauce on my Lobster Spaghetti?”
Granny Krystal (Whispering): “I had the waiter put some wasabi sauce on your lobster spaghetti.”
Valto: “Granny Krystal, why do you do this?”
Granny Krystal: “Maybe don’t talk about me being in an affair. Such a ridiculous one at that.”
*Valto began indulging in the Spaghetti, beginning to realize the taste was delicious*
Valto: “The spicy flavor of the wasabi; It tastes great with the lobster spaghetti!”
Rankarto (Thinking): Regular old pasta is all I need. Just as I got.
Mafia Man: “You’ve got some plain taste there, don’t ya kid? You off the streets or something?”
*Valto stood up from where he was sitting*
Valto: “You talkin’ smack about my friend here?”
Mafia Man: “Friend? Heh heh. Some pathetic friend you got here.”
Valto: “Thinking about saying ‘I’ll crush you!’?”
Mafia Man: Wait, What!? How did he know-
Valto: “Thinking about saying ‘How did I know?’? It’s a special ability I’ve had since I was a kid. Now to show you a special ability of mine.”
*Valto pulled out his launch and put God Valkyrie on it. He launched Valkyrie and it slammed right into the mafia man’s stomach, knocking him right over. Valkyrie bounced back to Valto*
Valto: “Thinking about how my Bey didn’t go right through your stomach? It’s bound gimmick allows it to bounce off of things and knock them over, just like I did with you.”
Mafia Man: “Why you little-“
*A man from the Midori Foundation, Kensuke’s new foundation slammed the entrance door open to the restaurant*
Man: “Ms. Aoi! I have news for you!”
Granny Krystal: “About what?”
*The man walked to the table where the three had been sitting at*
Man: “It’s about Kensuke! He’s been killed by his old friend Zac!”
*Valto immediately turned his head to the man*
Valto: “Uncle Kensuke’s d-dead!? Nooooooooo!!!”
*Valto bent on his knees and yelled, tears rolling down his face. Strangely after the first yell and first pair of tears, his main grief was already gone*
Valto: “Zac’s gonna pay for this! I’ll make sure of it! Do you know of his whereabouts?”
Man: “Unfortunately not, Valto.”
*Just then, a Beyblade broke through the glass window of the restaurant and slammed into one of the tables. People started running out of the building quickly. Valto has observed what happened*
Valto: “That Beyblade, it looked like Zeus, but upgraded! Zac must be here!”
Zac: “Right you are, twinkle toes.”
*Valto looked over at the top of the front of the restaurant, still inside the restaurant. He say Zac hanging on the top with one arm*
Valto: “Twinkle toes? When have you ever called me that?”
Zac: “You’re nothing but a show off! That’s what I mean. With your magic tricks you think your combat skills are better. But wrong you are, twinkle toes!”
Valto: “Grrrr! Stop calling me that!”
*Valto launched God Valkyrie, this time with Bey Spirit flowing through it unintentionally. Zac deflected Valkyrie using his evolved Beyblade Galaxy Zeus*
Zac: “I told you, you’re just a show off with nothing to back you up, twinkle toes.”
Valto: “Alright that’s it! I’m not holding back anymore. Try calling me twinkle toes with your mouth full of lead!”
*Valto pulls out a machine gun from under the table and starts firing*
Valto: “AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
*The machine gun fired off tens of bullets over the next several seconds. Zac was caught off guard and fell to ground, being pushed away by the bullets. Zac laid on the ground, seemingly dead. Valto walked over to Zac, but he was gone*
Valto: “This isn’t over, Zac! I will avenge Kensuke!”

Part 2 Chapter 2: The Bey Expert
*Valto had just shot at Zac with a mini gun to death, and had even seen him fall to the ground. Valto went over to where Zac’s body was and found it to be gone. Zac came out from behind and launched Galaxy Zeus. Valto has bent down so he accidentally avoided Zeus, which slammed into the concrete road*
Valto: “A lucky miss for me, I see!”
*Zac rushed towards Galaxy Zeus and launched again. This time Valto was ready, so he launched God Valkyrie and absorbed the attack using Valkyrie’s bound wings. Then God Valkyrie went into Zac’s right shoulder*
Zac: “How dare you get blood on my clothes!”
*Zac pulled God Valkyrie out of his shoulder and threw it onto the ground. Valto knew the bound wings would make Valkyrie bounce right into Valto’s hands*
Zac: “That’s one bouncy Beyblade of yours, Twinkletoes. However, Zeus’ exceptional stamina and weight isn’t something to kid about.
*Zac got serious and launched Galaxy Zeus on the ground. Valto launches God Valkyrie towards Zac and Zeus tilted onto the ground, and the uneven weight lifted it off the ground and into the air, letting it deflect Valkyrie. Valto has a trick up his sleeve, and so when Valkyrie hit the ground, it bounced towards Zac’s left leg, and Valto has launched Valkyrie with Bey Spirit pulsing through it, so when it went through Zac’s leg, it started to disintegrate more and more of his leg. Zac had to kneel on the ground, and was able to do so with one leg*
Zac: “There’s something I learned since I’ve become a zombified beast, Valto. I can regenerate limbs.”
*Within a few seconds, Zac’s left leg had already grown back. Valto looked in shock*
Zac: “If Shu had been able to use this ability, he would’ve won over your grandfather likely!”
Valto: “Why you little!”
*Valto’s breathing went out of control, and as God Valkyrie was coming back and he launched, no Bey Spirit was flowing through Valkyrie. Valkyrie was deflected by Galaxy Zeus and Zeus dug itself into Valt’s left leg*
Valt: “Agh!”
Zac: “Now to finish you!”
*Zac walked up to Valto and launched Galaxy Zeus right into his heart. Valto launches God Valkyrie and barely deflected the hit. Valkyrie started spinning away from the two and losing stamina*
Zac: “Your Beyblade too far away from you? You’re dead, twinkletoes-“
*Valto threw a punch and landed it right into Zac’s face. Zac stumbles backward for a few seconds, which gave Valto enough time to harness his Bey Spirit and let it flow through God Valkyrie*
Valto: “Valkyrie! Use your Reboot Overdrive!”
*Valto still lying on the ground, his leg not strong enough to support him, God Valkyrie got an instant boost of speed. It started rushing right towards Zac. Zac noticed and quickly launched Galaxy Zeus. Valkyrie smashed through Zeus and sent it flying. Zac ran for his life, knowing if Valkyrie hit him, he was done for. Valkyrie made contact and an explosion happened at the contact. When the clouding from the explosion cleared a few seconds later, no pieces of Zac were to be seen. Valto knew that explosion did not kill him, so he ran towards the direction Zac had been heading*
...
*Valto eventually found Zac on the side of a bridge. He had his launcher ready for battle. Someone came up right behind Valto*
Rankarto: “Valto!”
Valto: “Rankarto!? What are you doing here?”
Rankarto: “I was worried about you. Friends do that kind of thing.”
Valto: “Already considering me your friend, huh? I accept your friend request, then!”
*Zac launches Galaxy Zeus, hoping to catch Valto off guard. Valto turns around and launches God Valkyrie, absorbing Galaxy Zeus’ attack completely and taking it back out. Galaxy Zeus is locked back towards Zac, who catches Zeus*
Zac: “Your tricks won’t work on me, twinkletoes!”
Valto: “Alright, that’s it! That’s the last time you’ll call me twinkletoes!”
*Valto launched God Valkyrie on its side, making it bounce right up to Zac’s face. Zac simply deflected Valkyrie with Galaxy Zeus*
Zac: “Is that so, twinkleto-Oomph!”
*Valto slammed his right fist into the middle of Zac’s face. Zac fell backward, near the edge of the bridge. Valto walked over to Zac and attempted to destroy him with his Bey Spirit. Zac held up Galaxy Zeus to an angle, which deflected the Bey Spirit and blinded Valto for a few seconds*
Valto: “Aieeee!”
*Zac got up, his nose bloodied, and held Galaxy Zeus in the palms of his hands. Holding Zeus as if he were holding a knife blade down*
Zac: “I’m done with you.”
*Zac slammed Galaxy Zeus down into Valto as if Zeus were a knife. Valto blocked the attack by holding God Valkyrie right where Zac was going to attack. The bound gimmick caused much backlash to Zac, sending him nearly off the bridge. He held on tight with one arm as he hung from the bridge. Valto walked over to Zac*
Valto: “Why did you kill Uncle Kensuke? Tell me now!”
*Valto readied his launcher in case Zac refused to speak*
Zac: “Okay, I’ll explain everything. Kensuke as well as me and Lui went to these ancient ruins to find relics, much like the ones Shu used to turn himself into a vampire. I wanted that power to myself, and look what I’ve gotten myself into. Yes, I killed Kensuke and Lui. But what’s left to redeem of myself?“
*Zac’s body began to melt away. His Bey Spirit started to kill him*
Zac: “Before I die, Valto, know this. There are beings made of stone who wield powerful beys, Beyblades we could only wield as of now. Theirs are still much stronger, though. One of those beings was at the site of the ancient ruins we went to. Go to Mexico, and find that being, which go by the Snake Pit Men, named after the land by which they resided in. The Germans have a base there which they are keeping that Snake Pit Man captive. Valto....one last thing....there are more Snake Pit Men......train yourself up to beat them.....or the whole world will be in danger...”
*Zac’s body finally melted away and disintegrated. Valto knew what he had to do*
Rankarto: “What was that guy speaking about?”
Valto: “Snake Pit Men. I gotta find out where the German Base is in Mexico and locate the Snake Pit Man!”
*Valto ran to his apartment, Rankarto following close behind*
...
*Kensuke opened his eyes. Everything was blurry for a moment, but after that his vision became clear. He took a quick look around. It looked to be some sort of research center. He, however, was being tended to and bound to a hospital bed*
???: “Well, well, well, look who’s finally up.”
*Kensuke looked over to where the voice was. Standing there was what appeared to be a German Officer. His military suit was mostly dark blue in color, likely a design choice he made due to his higher ranking. He wore black boots to go with his dark blue officer suit. His brown hair stuck out very much. It was a miracle the hat he wore didn’t fall off his head due to his tall hair, which looked curled to the front. He had that look to him (especially in his eyes) that made him look like a superstar for some reason to Kensuke*
Kensuke: “Wh-who are you? Where am I?”
???: “I guess an introduction real quick can’t hurt. The name’s Officer Burns. You’ll refer to me as so. You’re in a research facility, and are lucky to even be alive. We saw you and another person’s body in the river when we found the Snake Pit Man and figured you could be of use. One was dead, unfortunately, but you managed to survive. Now, tell us what you know about this Snake Pit Man.”
Kensuke: “Why do you assume I came from the Snake Pit site? I was not there when I got severely injured, but it appears I was carried a lot farther than I thought I was.”
Ofc. Burns: “Keeeeeeeeeensuke. You can’t expect me to be that stupid, can you? We looked your face up in our database and found your name and job description. We also found a local newspaper reporting on your departure to that exact site. Just go ahead and give us the info you know on the Snake Pit Man, and this will be a lot easier.”
Researcher: “Officer Burns? The Mexicans you captured are ready.”
Ofc. Burns: “Thanks for letting me know. We aren’t done here, Kensuke. I’m getting information out of you one way or another.”
*Officer Burns walked down the stairs to where the Mexicans were captured. A whole group was stuck in a relatively small prison room*
Officer Burns: “Okay, so we’ve got two options here for you prisoners. One of you can volunteer to be meat for the beast, or you can all die to the hands of it. You better hope one among you is brave, or you all die!”
*The group panicked, unknowing of who would actually volunteer*
Boy: “I’ll do it.”
*A boy of 12 years old went to the front and raised his hand. Officer Burns immediately noticed*
Ofc. Burns: “So, one of you was brave enough, huh?”
*Officer Burns opened the prison door and pulled the boy out of the prison*
Ofc. Burns: “So then, what’s your name?”
Boy: “Cuza.”
Ofc. Burns: “Well then, Cuza, you’ll be spared. The rest of you, prepare to die.”
*The group started screaming and beating on the iron bars of the prison room. Officer Burns pushed a button, and the room moved up, like an elevator, to where the Snake Pit Man was. He was still encased in the stone that had held him when Kensuke’s group had found the site. In fact, the entire chunk of rock had been taken, so that an entire wall was still intact, sitting in a large room made from iron*
...
*Valto had made Granny Krystal aware of where he was going. She insisted that Rankarto stayed with her, both for company and protection from Valto’s mission. Valto hurried off and managed to find someone who knew the whereabouts of this German Base was. He boarded an airplane, and by the next day was in the area where it was. Valto was given a motorbike, and Valto headed off on his way. As the motorbike rushed against the dusty sand of the valley, the place had a surprising amount of desert plants for the area. Over one sand hill that Valto passed by, however, a figure hid behind the sand hill. He wore a large scarf and covered his entire body, so that he would not be sunburned. His target was anyone who would try to enter the German base*
To be continued in Chapter 3: The Snake Pit Man
*Valto had just shot at Zac with a mini gun to death, and had even seen him fall to the ground. Valto went over to where Zac’s body was and found it to be gone. Zac came out from behind and launched Galaxy Zeus. Valto has bent down so he accidentally avoided Zeus, which slammed into the concrete road*
Valto: “A lucky miss for me, I see!”
*Zac rushed towards Galaxy Zeus and launched again. This time Valto was ready, so he launched God Valkyrie and absorbed the attack using Valkyrie’s bound wings. Then God Valkyrie went into Zac’s right shoulder*
Zac: “How dare you get blood on my clothes!”
*Zac pulled God Valkyrie out of his shoulder and threw it onto the ground. Valto knew the bound wings would make Valkyrie bounce right into Valto’s hands*
Zac: “That’s one bouncy Beyblade of yours, Twinkletoes. However, Zeus’ exceptional stamina and weight isn’t something to kid about.
*Zac got serious and launched Galaxy Zeus on the ground. Valto launches God Valkyrie towards Zac and Zeus tilted onto the ground, and the uneven weight lifted it off the ground and into the air, letting it deflect Valkyrie. Valto has a trick up his sleeve, and so when Valkyrie hit the ground, it bounced towards Zac’s left leg, and Valto has launched Valkyrie with Bey Spirit pulsing through it, so when it went through Zac’s leg, it started to disintegrate more and more of his leg. Zac had to kneel on the ground, and was able to do so with one leg*
Zac: “There’s something I learned since I’ve become a zombified beast, Valto. I can regenerate limbs.”
*Within a few seconds, Zac’s left leg had already grown back. Valto looked in shock*
Zac: “If Shu had been able to use this ability, he would’ve won over your grandfather likely!”
Valto: “Why you little!”
*Valto’s breathing went out of control, and as God Valkyrie was coming back and he launched, no Bey Spirit was flowing through Valkyrie. Valkyrie was deflected by Galaxy Zeus and Zeus dug itself into Valt’s left leg*
Valt: “Agh!”
Zac: “Now to finish you!”
*Zac walked up to Valto and launched Galaxy Zeus right into his heart. Valto launches God Valkyrie and barely deflected the hit. Valkyrie started spinning away from the two and losing stamina*
Zac: “Your Beyblade too far away from you? You’re dead, twinkletoes-“
*Valto threw a punch and landed it right into Zac’s face. Zac stumbles backward for a few seconds, which gave Valto enough time to harness his Bey Spirit and let it flow through God Valkyrie*
Valto: “Valkyrie! Use your Reboot Overdrive!”
*Valto still lying on the ground, his leg not strong enough to support him, God Valkyrie got an instant boost of speed. It started rushing right towards Zac. Zac noticed and quickly launched Galaxy Zeus. Valkyrie smashed through Zeus and sent it flying. Zac ran for his life, knowing if Valkyrie hit him, he was done for. Valkyrie made contact and an explosion happened at the contact. When the clouding from the explosion cleared a few seconds later, no pieces of Zac were to be seen. Valto knew that explosion did not kill him, so he ran towards the direction Zac had been heading*
...
*Valto eventually found Zac on the side of a bridge. He had his launcher ready for battle. Someone came up right behind Valto*
Rankarto: “Valto!”
Valto: “Rankarto!? What are you doing here?”
Rankarto: “I was worried about you. Friends do that kind of thing.”
Valto: “Already considering me your friend, huh? I accept your friend request, then!”
*Zac launches Galaxy Zeus, hoping to catch Valto off guard. Valto turns around and launches God Valkyrie, absorbing Galaxy Zeus’ attack completely and taking it back out. Galaxy Zeus is locked back towards Zac, who catches Zeus*
Zac: “Your tricks won’t work on me, twinkletoes!”
Valto: “Alright, that’s it! That’s the last time you’ll call me twinkletoes!”
*Valto launched God Valkyrie on its side, making it bounce right up to Zac’s face. Zac simply deflected Valkyrie with Galaxy Zeus*
Zac: “Is that so, twinkleto-Oomph!”
*Valto slammed his right fist into the middle of Zac’s face. Zac fell backward, near the edge of the bridge. Valto walked over to Zac and attempted to destroy him with his Bey Spirit. Zac held up Galaxy Zeus to an angle, which deflected the Bey Spirit and blinded Valto for a few seconds*
Valto: “Aieeee!”
*Zac got up, his nose bloodied, and held Galaxy Zeus in the palms of his hands. Holding Zeus as if he were holding a knife blade down*
Zac: “I’m done with you.”
*Zac slammed Galaxy Zeus down into Valto as if Zeus were a knife. Valto blocked the attack by holding God Valkyrie right where Zac was going to attack. The bound gimmick caused much backlash to Zac, sending him nearly off the bridge. He held on tight with one arm as he hung from the bridge. Valto walked over to Zac*
Valto: “Why did you kill Uncle Kensuke? Tell me now!”
*Valto readied his launcher in case Zac refused to speak*
Zac: “Okay, I’ll explain everything. Kensuke as well as me and Lui went to these ancient ruins to find relics, much like the ones Shu used to turn himself into a vampire. I wanted that power to myself, and look what I’ve gotten myself into. Yes, I killed Kensuke and Lui. But what’s left to redeem of myself?“
*Zac’s body began to melt away. His Bey Spirit started to kill him*
Zac: “Before I die, Valto, know this. There are beings made of stone who wield powerful beys, Beyblades we could only wield as of now. Theirs are still much stronger, though. One of those beings was at the site of the ancient ruins we went to. Go to Mexico, and find that being, which go by the Snake Pit Men, named after the land by which they resided in. The Germans have a base there which they are keeping that Snake Pit Man captive. Valto....one last thing....there are more Snake Pit Men......train yourself up to beat them.....or the whole world will be in danger...”
*Zac’s body finally melted away and disintegrated. Valto knew what he had to do*
Rankarto: “What was that guy speaking about?”
Valto: “Snake Pit Men. I gotta find out where the German Base is in Mexico and locate the Snake Pit Man!”
*Valto ran to his apartment, Rankarto following close behind*
...
*Kensuke opened his eyes. Everything was blurry for a moment, but after that his vision became clear. He took a quick look around. It looked to be some sort of research center. He, however, was being tended to and bound to a hospital bed*
???: “Well, well, well, look who’s finally up.”
*Kensuke looked over to where the voice was. Standing there was what appeared to be a German Officer. His military suit was mostly dark blue in color, likely a design choice he made due to his higher ranking. He wore black boots to go with his dark blue officer suit. His brown hair stuck out very much. It was a miracle the hat he wore didn’t fall off his head due to his tall hair, which looked curled to the front. He had that look to him (especially in his eyes) that made him look like a superstar for some reason to Kensuke*
Kensuke: “Wh-who are you? Where am I?”
???: “I guess an introduction real quick can’t hurt. The name’s Officer Burns. You’ll refer to me as so. You’re in a research facility, and are lucky to even be alive. We saw you and another person’s body in the river when we found the Snake Pit Man and figured you could be of use. One was dead, unfortunately, but you managed to survive. Now, tell us what you know about this Snake Pit Man.”
Kensuke: “Why do you assume I came from the Snake Pit site? I was not there when I got severely injured, but it appears I was carried a lot farther than I thought I was.”
Ofc. Burns: “Keeeeeeeeeensuke. You can’t expect me to be that stupid, can you? We looked your face up in our database and found your name and job description. We also found a local newspaper reporting on your departure to that exact site. Just go ahead and give us the info you know on the Snake Pit Man, and this will be a lot easier.”
Researcher: “Officer Burns? The Mexicans you captured are ready.”
Ofc. Burns: “Thanks for letting me know. We aren’t done here, Kensuke. I’m getting information out of you one way or another.”
*Officer Burns walked down the stairs to where the Mexicans were captured. A whole group was stuck in a relatively small prison room*
Officer Burns: “Okay, so we’ve got two options here for you prisoners. One of you can volunteer to be meat for the beast, or you can all die to the hands of it. You better hope one among you is brave, or you all die!”
*The group panicked, unknowing of who would actually volunteer*
Boy: “I’ll do it.”
*A boy of 12 years old went to the front and raised his hand. Officer Burns immediately noticed*
Ofc. Burns: “So, one of you was brave enough, huh?”
*Officer Burns opened the prison door and pulled the boy out of the prison*
Ofc. Burns: “So then, what’s your name?”
Boy: “Cuza.”
Ofc. Burns: “Well then, Cuza, you’ll be spared. The rest of you, prepare to die.”
*The group started screaming and beating on the iron bars of the prison room. Officer Burns pushed a button, and the room moved up, like an elevator, to where the Snake Pit Man was. He was still encased in the stone that had held him when Kensuke’s group had found the site. In fact, the entire chunk of rock had been taken, so that an entire wall was still intact, sitting in a large room made from iron*

Part 2 Chapter 3: The Snake Pit Man
*Valto sped down the sandy dunes. He knew he was close to the German base, since the map he was given reflected that. Little did he know, however, that someone was waiting for him. A man fully covered with grey cloth, he worked for Officer Burns. He had a Beyblade armed and ready to launch whenever the time came. Behind a cactus he hid, waiting. Valto sped by the cactus, but as he did, his back tire blew out*
Valto (Thinking): Looks like I blew a tire on a rock.
*Valto braked the motorbike and came to a halting stop. He got off the motorbike, and inspected the back tire. He realized then that this was no accident. The tire had been intentionally blown out. The fully covered man walked up to Valto and he took off the cloth on his head*
Man: Go ahead and surrender while you have a few moments to do so.
*The man had a sharp blade attached to his bey, and had it equipped. Valto turned around and looked at the man. He was quite large both in height and size in comparison to Valto, which shocked Valto*
Valto: “So uh, what is your name?”
Man: “The name’s Stanburg. Now as I said, surrender now.”
Valto: “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
*Just after Valto’s words left his mouth, he launched God Valkyrie into the nearby cactus, which sent needles flying in every direction. Valto had already taken cover, but Stanburg was pummeled by many of the needles, to which he gave in to and fell onto the sand. Valto walked up to Stanburg*
Valto: “Where is Kensuke, and what has the German base been planning?”
*Valto dug out important pieces of information to which helped him precisely locate the German base, but also find Kensuke as well as the intentions of the Germans here in Mexico. He left Stanburg for dead, and luckily had a spare tire in the storage compartment of the motorbike. He continued his ride down to the German base, which he now could pinpoint exactly. When he arrived, he realized he would have to disguise himself. He remembered seeing clothes in the storage compartment, so he checked there, only to find women’s clothes*
Valto (thinking): These must belong to the owner of this bike. I was allowed to rent out the bike, so why not the clothes too?
*With that, Valto got dressed into the women’s clothes, which were somewhat fancy, and took his socks and boots off and replaced them with heels, also found in the storage compartment. He bunched his socks into his shirt to “stuff” himself, and finally started using makeup to complete the look. He looked at himself using the hand mirror*
Valto (Thinking): Looks like I’ll be attracting all the guys.
*Valto started heading towards the entrance of the German base. Two guards stood, one to the left, the other to the right. Valto, looking to get inside, walked right up to them and started talking*
Valto: “Hey there, boysies, how’s about you two move outta the way? We could go have some fun afterwards, Heh heh heh.”
*The two guards looked at each other and started chuckling hard. They almost fell on the ground laughing that hard*
Guard one: “You’re not fooling anyone with that disguise, kid.”
Guard two: “Your female voice is awful.”
Valto: “Well, alright then. Guess I’ll just have to beat up the both of you.”
*With that, Valto used an uppercut in the chin to knock out the first guard, and a hard kick in the jaw to knock out the second guard. He then got into his regular clothes quickly and ran into the base*
...
Officer Burns: “May I present to you all the Snake Pit Man I now call Boa! After all, he did come from the mountains of the Snake Pit. Now he will wake from his stony slumber. Awaken, Snake Pit Man!”
*A zombified creature was released into the large testing room, a result of an experiment involving the ancient relics. Once the core relic, placed in the center of Boa’s head, was removed, Boa began to thaw out, as if the rock were like ice. Eventually, the rock thawed out entirely and Boa stepped down, wearing only a large, old rag around his waist. He looked over at the zombified creature, and reached inside his rag for a Beyblade and a launcher. He then aimed and launched at the zombified creature. The Beyblade had barriers which aligned with the gaps, and the Beyblade became rock hard. It went right through the zombified creature’s head and killed them instantly. Boa walked over and opened up an opening in his hand. He then proceeded to slowly absorb the entire zombified creature into his body. When finished, the German scientists were amazed. Officer Burns was happy at the sight of what had just happened*
Officer Burns: “An amazing creature! He would be perfect for the German army. Keep an eye on him in case he does anything fishy.”
*The moment Officer Burns left, the German scientists realized quickly that Boa was gone. Officer Burns came back and saw what had happened*
Officer Burns: “I thought I told you all to keep an eye on Boa! Oh carp, we might be done for if he gets to us.”
*Just then, a sound came from the ceiling vent. Everyone in the room looked up, and saw a deformed hand sticking out of it. Slowly, the rest of the being came through the vent and fell onto a scientist at the bottom. It was Boa, and he started to enter the scientist’s body orally. Eventually, the scientists was but a husk for Boa to use*
Officer Burns: “Get your guns out and fire!”
*The German scientists pick up their guns and fired at the Boa infested scientist. The attempt was futile. All of the bullets were blocked by Boa’s defensive Beyblade. The bullets were stuck in between the defensive Beyblade’s gaps*
Boa: “Arc Bahamut...use defensive shape to block attack. Can also counter attack.”
*Boa had barely grasped the language used amongst the Germans, but nonetheless, Boa clicked Bahamut three times, and the bullets were sent flying back, killing several of the German scientists. The boy whom was called Cuza was behind Boa, and launched his Beyblade at that moment. The impact forced Boa to abandon the husk the German scientist now was, and look behind him to see who caused the collision*
Boa: “You the kid who bumped me?”
Cuza: “Yup. Maybe try not to kill people for no reason.”
Boa: “You misunderstand. Humans are weak beings which infest this planet with their weak beys. Our goal as supernatural beings is to eliminate humans and their beys.”
Valto: “I refuse to let you do that!”
*Valto had disguised as one of the German scientists and was waiting for the right moment to reveal himself. The time had finally come*
Valto: “I challenge you to a battle, Boa! I won’t let you live!”
Boa: “It’ll be over in an instant, but you don’t seem like the kind of person who will take no for an answer.”
*With that, both of them readied their launchers, ready for battle*
