"What do you mean he's gone?" Daina said. He had a lot of gauze bandages wrapped around his hand. "I mean, he knocked him out and took him somewhere. I don't know where." Shu said. "I think I know. It's like, a feeling but i'm not sure." I said.

"My memory. I wish I could remember. I'm just not sure." I rubbed my temples. "(Y/N)" I looked up at Rantaro. "Anything helps right now. We need to get him back." His hands were in fists. His worth was evident. I couldn't help feeling that it was my fault.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

My head hurt. A lot. I couldn't focus. There was a metallic taste in my mouth. I stared freaking out and opened my eyes. There was rope around my hands. I was on the floor.

The place I was in is dark, and damp. There was a person standing in front of me. His arms were crossed. "Huh, you're awake." He said. His voice. His hands with the scars. He looked like—

"You're Toshiro." I croaked out. My mouth felt dry. He laughed. "Yes, I am. It's nice to be recognized." He had something in his hands. Tossing it back and forth between them. It shined blue. And it has yellow wings.

"Valkyrie!" I gasped. "That's his name? Valkyrie? He does seem powerful though. I would like to keep him to myself." He looked at it and held it up to the single lightbulb above us.

I shook my head frantically. I could already feel the tears running down my face. "Don't. Please don't. I'm sorry if I ever made you mad. I'm really sorry." I couldn't help it anymore. I stared sobbing, tears all over my face and falling into my shirt. "Please give him back! I'll do anything. Please! I'm sorry!"

"I would like to see him in action." He tosses it towards me. Even tied down I moved towards Valkyrie and caught him in my jacket. Toshiro brought out a switch blade and I flinched. Chuckling a bit he cut off the ropes on my hands.

"Let's battle. Right now." He said holding out his bey. It was red, a very dark red and it has spikes all over it, and it's tip, it didn't look normal. It looked evil.

"Meet Killer Demon." He said pulling out a launcher with carvings on it. He carved it himself. I just knew it. I stood up, wobbling only a little bit. My stomach hurt. But if he wanted a battle, i'll give it to him. "I'm sure you can't beat us, but it would be fun to see you attempt to." He said laughing.

"I can beat you!" I said holding up Valkyrie. I could already feel my spirit firing up, Valkyrie's power was flowing through me. He walked towards a bey-stadium. "Let's get ready then."

"Fine. If I win, you let me go." I said. He looked at me. Then his eyes traveled to my stomach. Then to my hair, then to my left foot. "Fine. When I win you'll give me your bey." I flinched. There was no way I was losing this time. I can't afford any mistakes, I think as my grip on my launcher tightened.

"3,"

I have to use a really good strategy

"2,"

Something new

"1,"

Something different

"Go... shoot!"

I tilted my launcher to the left.

Both beys launched into the bey-stadium. Valkyrie rushes into the edge of the stadium. Killer Demon went to the middle and stayed there and then rushed to the edge to follow Valkyrie.

"Killer Demon, reap his soul." Toshiro said. "Wha- that sounds creepy! Valkyrie! Rush shoot!" Valkyrie immediately raced to the center and rushed in circles. He was fast, and i felt a rush of pride. However, Killer Demon managed to dodge every attack. "Valkyrie! You can do it!" I made a fist. "Come on! Valkyrie!" I raised it up and Valkyrie hit the edge.

"Heh, that will slow him down." Toshiro grinned. Then his eyes widened. "Valkyrie's speed is increasing? Fascinating." He said licking his lips, a hungry look in his eyes. "Killer Demon, soul reaper! Now!" Toshiro yelled thrusting out his arm. Killer Demon was engulfed in a brick red aura and ran towards Valkyrie.

"No way! Valkyrie! Knock him outta the park!" Valkyrie emitted it's usual bright blue aura and it went faster and faster. Killer Demon stood its ground.

Then... there was a loud noise of a bey bursting. "Valk... yrie?" I picked up his three pieces. I gripped them tighter. Tears were welling up in my eyes. "No! Give me another chance." Toshiro looked at his bey in his hands. He had an odd look on his face. Putting his bey in his pocket and glared.

"A deal is a deal." He reached out his hand. "No! No! Please no! Not Valkyrie!" I cried. I held him tighter to my chest. "Please! Don't take Valkyrie!" I curled up, my head on the floor. "Please! I'm sorry! Give me another chance!" I felt the tears on the floor. My hair was damp, was I sweating? Toshiro growled. "Give me the damn beyblade."

Then there was a loud crash. I turned my head and (Y/N) and the others were standing there. I breathed a sigh of relief. "Shu... Daina..."
