heyyy, it's ryu here again :)

Sorry for making all of you wait, I hope the wait is worth it <3 This is the third book of the crimson (previously EOFY) series. If you have not read the first or second book, please read it first as the story will not make sense without reading them. They're both on my page. This might be my last Shu x Reader fanfics I'll ever write, so I hope I can make it special. 

This takes place a little into the Super Z season, and I will skip some episodes. But this story is also about (y/n)'s growth, not just her relationship with Shu. And be patient with me, if I don't update in a while, I'm either busy, currently writing a lengthy chapter for another book, writing a super long chapter, or the latest episode has not come out in English.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to update everyday like I did for the first book. I'll try to update at least once every two weeks, but no guarantees. Adding on, (y/n)'s personality has changed slightly, and you'll find out why. I will also change some of the plot of Super Z.

And last but not least, I do not own Beyblade Burst. If I did, Super Z would be a lot better. I only own the plot of this story/fanfiction and a few characters. 

Without further ado, enjoy the story !!

--------------------------

Two years.

Two years since the God Blader's Cup. Since the fiasco. Since the crowning of the champion. Since he said goodbye to her.

He smiled to himself, gazing out from his building to the endless blue sky. It felt like yesterday when both of them were back in Japan, so in love without a care in the world. But...but he messed up.

The smile fell off the albino's face at this recollection of memory. He had messed up so bad. It was a miracle, unbelievable really, that she could love a monster like him back still. After everything he's done, and all the people he's hurt, her most of all. 

An angel, he thought. Nobody is that nice except for her...and maybe Valt. In spite of himself, he grinned thinking about the bluenette and his countless efforts to get the two of them together. But those efforts fell short... 

The owner of the Raging Bulls sighed and sat back into his leather chair. His phone dinged, lighting up with a message from the very same blue-haired kid. 

Call her. 

"I will, Valt. I will."

"3 2 1! Let it rip!"

Her hand swiftly yanked the ripcord out of the black, customized launcher. As a result of this motion, the white colored bey was launched into the stadium at lightning speed. (e/c) hues watched as her bey circled around the stadium, sending sparks flying from the speed. 

"Now! Xcalius!" the owner yelled, thrusting up her hand before clenching it into a fist. "Shield Breaker!"

(Lucina Super Smash Bros reference, cause Lucina's queen)

The bey obeyed instantly, the performance tip adding about five millimeters to its height. As soon as it reached the height, the sword embedded in the bey ejected out. 

"Argh," groaned the girl, face palming herself while she sat on the ground, clutching her bey. "I perfected both Upforce Launch and Final Strike, but I just can't combine them! Argh!"

Sighing, she stared at the newly evolved bey. She exhaled heavily. "I'm sorry, Xcalius. I've been pushing you and expecting so much from you now. I'm such a bitch, aren't I?"

Xcalius twinkled back at her, as if to say, 'When are you not?' in a jokingly way. The girl stifled a smile at this response. Over the past two years, she and her bey have gotten incredibly close to even understand each other without communicating now. Well, there isn't much to do besides that when you're training out in the wilderness, right? 

"But really, Xcalius," the girl blew a strand of hair out of her eyes. "What do you think I should do?"

Call him. 

Sighing, she smiled. "I will-"

bring bring 

(y/n)'s eyes lit up as she dashed over to the rock her phone was casually laid on. Her smile stretched even wider when she saw the name of the person she hoped had been calling. 

"Hey, (y/n)."

"Hi, Shu."
