It was a day like any another. The Beigoma club was training.
"You're not match for Rocktavor," says Rantaro

"We'll see about that!" Says Valt
"3...2...1... go shoot !"
Valt and Rantaro threw their spinning tops. Rocktavor took the center and Valtryek made his lightning drive.
"Rocktavor !"

"Valtryek!"

The two tops touched and Rocktavor exploded.

"Burst finish! Valt scores two points and wins the game!" Said Daigo.

..........

Just on the side and watching others play games. Shu got a phone call.

"Hallo"

"Hi Kurenai"

"What do you want Shirosagi?" Says Shu in a voice more hateful than normal...

"Meet you at the park at 5:00 P.M. Alone."

"I refuse" replied Shu coldly.

"You haven't noticed anyone's absence," Lui says.

That's when Shu realizes that Valt's little sister Nika is missing.

"Nika?"

"Well done, Kurenai. If you want to see her again, it'll be at the park at 5:00 and of course ONLY."

"Okay. I'll be there," said Shu as he hung up.

"Who was Shu?" Said Wakiya as he came up to him.

"Lui"

"What does this guy want with you?"

"He made me an appointment to meet him."

"Are you gonna go?"

"I don't want to, but if I want to find Nika, I have to."

"He's got Nika!"

"I guess. I don't see her anywhere."

"We'll go with you if you want"

"No. I have to go alone."

"Okay, okay, but if you want, we'll hide in case it gets out of hand."

"Thank you."

"No!!!!!! Valtriek!!!" Said Valt as he sent Valtriek up.

"How can someone be so clumsy with his spinning top!" Said Rantaro.

"It's my turn," said Wakiya as he approached them.

"I'm gonna make it this time! Go partner!

"3...2...1... Go shoot!!!!"

Wyvron and Valtryek are both in the arena. Wyvron takes the center. Valtryek gives a shot, which moves Wakiya's top back.

"Shield Crash!"

"Rush Launsh"

The two collide and Wyvron is ejected from the arena.

"Valt gains 1 point," Daigo announced.

"Yeah, I won!" Screaming Valt as he jumps

"Don't rejoice too soon, there's still a battle to be fought," says Wakiya.

"Oh great ! Let's get on with it!" Says Valt

"3...2...1... Let it rip!"

Wyvron takes centre again. Valtryek charged at him and pushed him back.

"Now use Hyper Shield Crash!"

Wyvron climbs higher and higher and speeds towards Valtryek. Valt's router over-finished.

"Score one for Wakiya. That's 1-1."

"3...2...1... Go shoot!"

Wyvron takes the center.

"Lightning drive!!"

Wyvron burst

"Two points for Valt. He wins the fight," says Daigo.

"Too good!!!! And Shu!! You come and fight me!!" Says Valt

Shu look at the time. It was 4:34 p.m.

"One game if you want to, but make it quick," Shu said.

"3...2...1... Let it rip!"

As soon as the two spinning tops are thrown, Spryzen heads straight for Valtryek.

"Spryzen!!! Wake up!!!!

"Valtryek !!"

The two ran into each other. Spryzen broke up Valtryek.

"Shu scores 2 points and wins the fight."

"Too good Shu!!!! You're still as strong as me!" Says Valt

"Thank you, Valt."

Shu looked at the clock. It was 4:51 p.m.

"I have to go," he said.

"Where are you going, Shu?" Says Valt

"Wakiya will tell you," said Shu going towards the park.

"You tell us," said Daigo.

"Shu has a date with Lui" says Wakiya.

"But he might be in danger with that psychopath," says Rantaro...

"We must follow him," says Valt, following Shu...

The others followed him.

..........

Shu arrived at the park. It was 4:59 p.m.

"He's not there"

"Take a better look at Kurenai" Lui said behind Shu.

Shu suddenly turned around to see the face of his worst enemy, who is also his oldest rival.

"So where's Nika?"

"She's... You think I'm gonna say it like that?"

"What do you want then?"

"To see if you're okay for a start?" Says Lui, taking his shoulders with his hands.

"I'd be better if you took your hands off my shoulders."

"Okay," He said as He took them off.

"Oh look, there's Valt standing behind you" Lui says.

"I don't believe you," said Shu.

He took something from his back and pressed it down without Shu seeing them of course.

"Shu!!!!!!"

Shu instantly turned around thinking it was Valt. Meanwhile, Lui took something out of his hair and planted it in Shu's leg. It was a knife.

"Aahhh!" Shu screamed in pain. He got down on his knees so he wouldn't fall completely.

"Ahahahah! You've fallen into my trap. Look!" Said to Lui pointing to the object making the noise. He pressed down on it.

"Shuuuuuuuuu!!". He pressed it several times.

"You son of a..."

"You what. You fell like an idiot. And now you're mine to thank and if I want, I'll kill you."

Shu had difficulty removing the knife and standing up again.

"Stronger than it seems", He said.

"I'm the one who's going to kill you."

"Always try," He said, taking two more knives out of his hair.

"Seriously, since when do we walk around with knives and more knives in our hair?"

"Since when. Ahah. Since I've been tempted to murder."

..........

Valt, Daigo, Rantaro and Wakiya were watching the scene.

"We must act quickly before He kills Shu," said Valt agitated.

"Why don't we call the police," Rantaro suggested...

"Good idea," says Wakiya as he dials the police number

"I'm going to do something about it," says Valt.

"You have to stay hidden," said Rantaro...

"No, Shu is someone I care about and I have to save him," said Valt as he came out of hiding.

"It's going to end badly"

..........

"Shuuuuu!!!!"

Shu didn't turn around to focus on Him spinning around with his knives.

"I'm coming Shu!!!!! I'm coming to help you!!!!"

"Valt!!!!!!" Shu said looking a little to the side.

"Ahahah!!!!! Valt to the rescue" He says...

"Shu, we called the police," Valt whispered to Shu.

"Okay," he said, whispering to Valt...

"What are you up to?" Says He's suspicious

"Nothing barbecued at all," says Valt.

"Revisit your Valt insults" says Shu.

"But that was a good one," said Valt.

"Bon finishes talking. Now you are going to die," Lui said, throwing knives at them.

Shu and Valt tried to avoid them, but Shu, who was already wounded, couldn't really move. Valt decided to take a piece of branch he found on the ground to protect Shu.

"Valt" whispered Shu as he watched Valt protect him...

"Don't worry, Shu! I'll protect you from that lunatic!"

"Beware Valt," he said, pointing to a knife going into his arm which caused the branch to drop into Valt's hand.

"Ouch. That hurt."

"Ahahah! Why are you supporting him?"

"Because I love him and care about him," Valt says.

"Valt...you...love...me...?" Says Shu

"Of course I love you."

"How cute," He said...

"Freeze," said a policeman

Lui stopped laughing.

"About what?" He said turning around. In front of him were policemen with their guns pointed at him.

"We received a phone call concerning a man named Lui Shirosagi. It is you."

"What have I done?"

"Are you kidding us?!"

"No, I'm not."

"Attempted murders and injuries to other minors"

"Gentlemen, take Lui Shirosagi" he ordered the policemen

The policemen took Lui away with difficulty in the police car.

"Are you kids all right?" Said a policeman as he arrived at Shu and Valt.

"Just bad but okay" says Shu.

"Same," says Valt.

"We're gonna get you to the hospital."

"Thank you," said Shu, smiling.

"Valt!!! Shu!!!!" Daigo, Rantaro and Wakiya scream...

"Folks!" Says Valt.

"Is everything all right?" Says Rantaro.

"Super Champion!!"

"It's a good thing we called the police," Daigo said...

"Where the hell is Nika?" Said Wakiya.

"Nika! I completely forgot about her!" Said Shu

"Nika? What is it, Nika?" Valt asked confusedly.

"He kidnapped him," says Shu.

"What!!!!" Says everyone except Shu
