🔰🔰🔰

The Showdown

🔰🔰🔰

"That was very awesome Shu!

"Thanks"

"Go Shu!!!"

"Your The best!!"

"This Pasta is really delicious!"

"*Chuckle* Thanks Valt"

"Shu, You're the only reason I'm able to stand here today! I owe everything to you!"

"....Shu?"

"Shu Kurenai is dead! Get away!

"Pathetic"

"Your just a weakness"

"....Shu... Please *sob*"

"STAY AWAY!"

"Don't say that, Please...just... Don't act like we're not friends!"

"Grrrrr!!"

"We're not Enemies! We're Rivals!"

"Shu....?"

"....Valt I'm sorry"

"Shu it's ok"

"I'm sorry. I know I broke our pact. Someday, I'll make it up to you "

"Shu! SHU!"

My deep thoughts are quickly discarded when a deafening voice came through

Well it's none other Valt Aoi - My Best Friend

It's been a month since the Red Eye incident and the Snake Pit has been rid

I look over my friend face who is blinking and like observing

"....Shu?" Valt ask tilting his head

I then look over his brown orbs.... It's looks so innocent, warm and real

Then I remember again when I push him away when he only want to help me - How selfish I am

I know my best friend for a long time but I never see him so scared, hurt, and sad

And I hate the idea that I'm the one who cause that

What kind of Best Friend I am?!

"Shu? Everythings ok?" Valt said worriedly

Suddenly something inside me twitch

Valt shouldn't be worried about me

I already cause him a PAIN and that's enough

Then I smile weakly "Nothing.... Hey there's a Ice Cream vendor over there, wants some? My treat" I offer and trying to change the topic

But Valt look at me directly "Shu, Something is bothering with you... What's Wrong?" He ask

I look away not meeting his gaze "Nothing" there's a noticeable crack on my voice and I hope Valt didn't notice

But he does

"Shu... is this about what happened last month? Do you still hunted by Nightmares? Do you need a Hug" then Valt Smile warm

Then I look at him in disbelief

"Valt... I don't deserve your hug" I said grimly

Valt look confuse "Why not?"

"Cause I hurt you once betrayed your heart and push you away" I said really look ashamed

Valt blink "That doesn't make any sense"

"Huh?"

I clearly taken aback and I look to Valt to see him honestly confused

Valt merely shrug

"Shu your my Best Friend"

"I don't think I'm fit to that title" I said sadly

"Why not?"

I clearly doesn't sure to feel exasperate on how clueless is he or feel relieved that he's still the same innocent Valt

"Valt can't you see!? I make a mistake! I hurt you once then How can you still call me a best friend after that?! I don't understand You!?" Then I notice that my voice is starting to raise so I shake my head

"You know Shu I'm really look confused right now... So what? Doesn't mean you make a mistake doesn't mean your bad Shu, Making a mistake is normal to People but what important is that you learn from your Mistake" Valt then smile more wider

I stare at him in shock then smile weakly

".... Valt" I'm too stunned to say something and my body freeze in shock when Valt hug me tightly

And the fact the he start singing softly

"I see your monsters
I see your pain
Tell me your problems
I'll chase them away
I'll be your lighthouse
I'll make it okay"

(Very slowly, I hug him too)

"When I see your monsters
I'll stand there so brave
And chase them all away

Then a single roll of tears fall but I'm still Smiling

I'm lucky to have to have you Valt

"Thank You Valt"

In response he tighten the hug

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I quickly jolted up in my bed when I heard annoying sounds

Only to find its just my Alarm

*Groan*

I stretch my arm and grab my phone to open my gallery

It's me and Valt selfie picture

I smile almost nostalgia when I start remember him

Valt

'I still remember those precious memories'

Then I start to stand up and quickly make my routine. Before proceeding in my training

Today is Today

Snake Pit or El Dorado or whatever name they use

They need to Stop

🔰🔰🔰

Day 313 | BETA Stadium | Japan | 7:00 pm

SHU

"Goodluck Shu"

All of my friends said to me

"Thanks" I smile gratefully

I then start to calm myself to focus on my battle

"Hello World~! This is the Final Battle in the World Tournament Leagues~! Who will now become a new Champion? Then let's Found out!!"

Then loud cheers can be hear everywhere

"From the Red Corner~! Shu Kurenai of Raging Bulls!"

I then start walking in

"And From the Blue Corner~! Vincent Roswell of El Dorado!"

Then he start walking

For a moment our eye met

His Eyes glow for a second clearly stating that he's ready too

This battle will have 3 Rounds or depends if the battle take longer than expected

For some reason I feel Dejavu

*Shrug*

No need to know

Let it Rip!!!

I launch Spryzen at an even steeper angle, allowing it gain even more speed and power: Ultra Upper Launch

Spryzen glint in red, ready to attack it's opponent head on

Vladimir and Spryzen clash 3 time creating a sparks of frictions and sounds

(He's a tough a blader)

The beys still spinning around the stadium in clockwise direction leaving a trail of color Blue and Red

"Axe Launch

Spryzen then glint in red and start grinding the stadium floor gaining speed and power then it's change its trajectory to attack the opponent

"Sonic Shot"

Vladimir special trait is speed and I need to watch out

Then it's glow in Blue and the two clash again making the atmosphere around us thick that the knife could slice it

Blinding colors of Red and Blue clash but I know that no one wants to lose right now

We're fighting with all our might

"Go Spryzen" I Cheer to gain more power

It create a lot of sparks and the two separate for a while spinning continuously around

Then Vincent eyes narrow then I already know what's his next move

"Sonic Boom"

Then Vladimir frame disc shifted and it's glow in Blue and ready to attack head on in serious damage celerity

Ok I'm ready

When Vladimir start to near me - Spryzen change in direction that make the attack miss but It's still not done yet

"Ultra Counter Break!"

A stronger version of the counter break where Spryzen rides along the Stadium's grove to pick up speed and deal heavy damaged - similar to Valt's Ultra Flash Launch

The Two Clash in blinding light and creating a wind against us that I need to cover at my way in hand but I'm still focusing

*Bang*

A sound of metal hear and my eyes widen when I see Spryzen thrown off the stadium

*Shriekk!*

Spryzen burst in 3 parts creating a clank a sound when it fall to the ground

Vincent [2-0] Me

I pick up Spryzen then start fixing it

"You did great Spryzen" I whisper and it glint in response

I then rotate Spryzen to reveal it's blade

I'm still not done

🔰🔰🔰

VALT/VINCENT

I notice that Shu's Bey - Spryzen look awesome than ever

It's been a long time since we battle

Battling with him make me always smile and happy cause Shu is amazing

Him and my friends and other people I know become stronger than ever

It makes me happy and at the same awe whenever I saw how they improve and strong they are

I prepared my stance and narrowing my eyes in concentration ignoring the hurt of every pang my heart feel

Cause I need to Destroy Spryzen

But I can't do it

But I have no choice

Flashback

"That was awesome!" Darwin said while ruffling my hair

"Definitely" Leo said while crossing his arms but his soft smile say it all

"Goodluck on your Battle tomorrow" said Euan

"Thanks Guys" I smile although I notice something is off

"Where's the twins" I ask looking around but no sign of them

Darwin shrug "I think they are with Miss Roswell"

"Vincent"

I look around to see Johnny calling me

"Yes?" I ask

"Sir Glass is calling you at his office"

Immediately I think my energy has been drained off

"O-ok" I weakly said and I notice in how my companion share some worried look

.....

The more I took steps, the more my heart beat faster

I feel something bad' will happen

The two agents saw me and open the fancy door

I tried to swallow my fear but there is no avail

Theodore Glass is sitting on his chair while grinning like a maniac

"Y-you call me Sir?" I ask

"Yes and take a seat" he answer and point the vacant seat

The heavy atmosphere is almost palpable

"Tommorow is the Championship and your opponent is Shu Kurenai right"

I nod not liking how this conversation will go

"Now I want you to destroy Spryzen"

Immediately my head's snap and widen in horror

"W-what?" My hands starting to shake

I already destroy Ken's bey and I can't sleep at night thinking how much it hurts to see how sad he is

Now Shu too!?

Destroying Ken's Bey and Acting like I don't my friends is Enough but to Shu? That's too much!

"I said I want you to destroy Spryzen simply as that" he repeat

"But Sir! Is winning is still not enough" I protest

And that was my grave mistake

"Are you defying my orders my boy" It's not a question it's a accusation and certainly the atmosphere shift

"Not at all Sir" I answer

Theodore Glass stand up and walk over me

*Gulp*

"You should Remember that Shu is not your Best Friend and I'm your Boss got that" he state

"But-"

"Oh your starting to questioning me my boy? In that case I need to resort this quickly"

(Uh oh)

The Threat is clear and I'm starting to fear my consequences

"If you didn't do what I say... Then you will not see your siblings" he then smirk

For a moment my breathing hitch

"No Please" I beg

"Then do my order my boy"

....

I blink not allowing any distraction to block me

Let it Rip!!!

(Shu then hold his launcher Vertically behind his back then jumps forward, thrust his launcher infront of him and quickly switch his launcher to a horizontal position, this gives a lot of Speed and power as well)

"Turbo Crux Boost!"

Then Spryzen Glow in red spinning so fast and ready to attack

I take a deep breath

"Sonic Boom!"

Valtyrek/Vladimir glow in cerulean blue and oppose Spryzen head on

The two clash again in power creating a blinding light and tension in the air

"You can do this Spryzen!"

"Go!"

Then my eyes widen in shock when Vladimir flew off the stage then it hit the floor and it Burst

Me [2-2] Shu

It's now two all

🔰🔰🔰

"Did Shu managed to Burst it" Zac said in Surprise and awe

"Yes, Yes it is" Xander said while grinning widely

"Way to go Shu" and that's Wakiya quickly agreed by everyone

Lui on the other hand doesn't know if he should be happy or not that the fact that he see Vladimir burst or that Shu managed to burst it instead of him

Then meanwhile, Euan and the others knows that Valt/Vincent is clearly hesitant and not focussing on the battle

It make them worry

🔰🔰🔰

Shu is happy that he managed to catch up and more confidence course on him and add the cheers that his friends giving him

Vincent/Valt pick up Vladimir/Valtyrek and fix it

He can see from the corner of his eyes in how Euan, Darwin and Leo looking at him worriedly

And at the disapproving face of Theodore Glass who is watching him intently

Vincent/ Valt suppress the shiver

He then shake his thoughts

And tried to focus in the match

Calm Down please Focus

It's so hard to discard these feelings

The worry and pain and hurt

Come on! Valt Aoi please Focus!

Let it Rip!!!

The two bey land perfectly and start to spin

Valt take shaky breath before calling off the power

"Ground Zero!"

Vladimir then glow in turquoise blue revealing it's blades ready to attack head on in great velocity

"Turbo Counter Break"

(Using the flat edge of Zeta tips Stamina Setting, Turbo Spryzen change its trajectory and gains speed for a powerful counterattack)

The two strong beys clash creating a shockwaves of mix if Blue and Red and the air around them increase atleast tenfold creating a heavy atmosphere that even a sword could slice it

*Bang!*

The two bey flew off in the stadium and burst at the same time to the shock of the owners

4th round

It's also the same and it flew of the stage at the same time too

5th round

It creates sparks but again it's still a tie

6th Round
The tension in the air is impossible to miss but it ended to a tie too

7th Round
Almost the same what happened earlier

8th Round
The two still standing but you can see that they're panting and sweating

9th Round
And again for almost fifth time it ended in tie.Again

Nothing interesting happen until Vincent/Valt call the referee for a time out

The referee nod and give the two bladers five minutes break

Shu is shock at First but he never disagree cause he feel tired too

For some unknown reason.... This is really feel Dejavu

Shu go to the back stage and Surprisingly Boa is there

"Water?" Boa held up a water bottle in which Shu gratefully accept it

"Thanks"

(In the audience seats)

"Euan" call Theodore Glass that make the said teen flinch in Surprise

"Sir?" Euan ask and his other two friends tighten up in there expression

"Go to him and tell him he better make a good result or else he know the consequences" base from the man voice and expression - he's clearly not impress at the display

Euan nod shakily "Yes Sir" and quickly stand up and go to the backstage

🔰🔰🔰

VALT/VINCENT

I sit on the cold floor and leaning against the wall allowing the tension get out in my body

"Water?"

To my surprise - I look up to see Euan holding a water bottle

"Is this a real water?" I ask taking a look

"Yes" he confirm and that's what I needed before chug the precious water that help me soothe the tiredness

When I half finish - I look at him straight to the eye "Did HE call you here so that he can remind of the consequences?"

Then Euan warily nod "...Yes"

*Sigh*

"Why are you not giving your all?"

I certainly taken back by his blunt question

"What?"

"Your holding yourself - that's what I see" he said lowly

I avert my eyes and sigh again "can't you blame me" I mutter

Then Euan sigh and sit next to me

"Hey" He start gently "The twins will be ok"

"I hope so"I mutter

"And they will not be happy to see you like this"

I flinch at his statement

Euan then put his arms on my shoulders that make me look at him

"Valt" he whisper that took me by surprise "Shu is your Best friend"

I frown sadly "only Valt but I'm Vincent right now"

Euan Shakes his head "You know, Even the world turn upside down things will remain what it's supposed to be"

My eyebrow furrow "What do you mean"

Euan smile "Don't you see? Your Battling your Rival and great best friend in the Final Stage isn't that amazing?"

And finally - I understand what he mean

My lips smile until it turn into devious grin

"Your Right" I said sharing a grin with Euan "Your Absolutely right"

Euan then wink at me before standing up and go to the audience stage

A soft chuckle escape until it turn into icy sharp laugh

I grab Valtyrek/Vladimir in my pocket

"Oh~ They mess with the wrong guy~" I said and Valtyrek/Vladimir glow in eerie blue

Gosh I'll almost forgot about it

I'll still take the World in Storm

5 Minutes later

I then start walking in position

Looking around those people make me want to laugh

Isn't funny on how our Fate designated us? Seriously? I'm battling Shu again in the Final Stage

Same people but different Priorities

As if the World turn upside down

Like the fact that the other team here see me as an enemy threat

An enemy they expected to be lose and their white and shining armor hero will win

Hah! I'm tired on those beliefs

It makes me want mess with it

Oh sorry guys~

But the moment I joined Snake Pit/El Dorado and stay there

Losing is not an Option

Let It Rip!!!

The moment Vladmir land - I didn't waste anytime to attack

"Vladmir! Sword Clash"

Then my bey glow in in another shade of Blue - Navy Eerie Blue this time

A Knight spirit wearing a dark night armor with a specs of diamond - It's eyes glow in eerie gold helding it's sharp mighty sword reading to fight in a WAR

Then of course we still have Shu

"Spryzen! Turbo Whip!"

Spryzen Glow in red and another burning fighting spirit wearing a golden armor with a specs of ruby with a thorn, it's red wing flap by and it's glorious golden axe it's held high

The sword and the Axe fight

"You can do this Spryzen"

"Go Vladimir"

Then a shockwaves with a mix of red and blue suround the area creating a whirlwind of around us with a mix of dust and others

Then *Bang*

Then two separate

Vladmir/Valtyrek start to spin slowly but the Spryzen is still spinning

The gasp and the cheers on the audience become louder

Tsk

"Spryzen this is your chance! ATTACK!"

Spryzen glint in red and ready to Attack

Then for a moment - the time seem to slow down and I allow my self to close eyes

"Can you promise something if one day they asked you to do something that totally against your will and used us again please don't do it"

I still remember what Nika and Toko ask me that night

I sigh 'Sorry Twins'

Then looking back at the Battle - I almost want to smirk

Oh~ Shu Kurenai~ You step in a grave Mistake~

"Reset"

I said and Shu face become confused when I say that but it's too late for him to realize what just happened

Vladimir/Valtyrek Glow in Eerie Blue then suddenly it start spinning in a break neck speed that the moment it hit Spryzen-

It flew off the Stage and the Performance tip broke

Shu eyes widen in horror when he stare at his Bey

"B-burst Finish! Behold the new Champion of this Season! Vincent Roswell of El Dorado!

The End

Hahaha it's a prank XD

I know some of you will kill me so sadly I can't end everything here Hahaha

🔰🔰🔰

SHU

I can't believe on what just happen

"I'm sorry guys" I said while clutching Spryzen in which some part are broken

(I'm sorry Spryzen)

I feel like something stab me on my heart and it's hurt

"It's ok Shu" said Xander while putting his hands on my shoulder

"It's so Close" I mutter

The others just share a grim expression

The tension in the air in the backstage is almost make me choke until someone broke

"Shu Kurenai"

I look over to Kristina gently smiling over me

"You did great job over there" She said and I sigh

"Thanks" but I really don't feel energy right now

"Don't worry Guys" she called gaining everyone attention

"Huh?" Wakiya question

Kris then just smile knowingly

"There is still Plan B"
