Everything was the same as usual, except for Shu's headache. It was starting to get better, so that's good, but he still heard an annoying buzz. Was it his head?

Wait, or was it the sound of a... Helicopter?

The sound of the helicopter became louder and louder, until the sound stopped with a loud 'THUD'. Shu and the other members turned around. There indeed was a helicopter behind them.

Then, the door of the helicopter slid open and someone came out.

"Zac?" Shu said in disbelief. The person didn't look like Zac the Sunshine at all. The person coming out from the helicopter was not wearing flashy, expensive clothes and a ridiculous mask. Instead, he wore some black jeans and a black hoodie with a hood low enough to almost cover his eyes. But judging by the long yellow and red hair and the green eyes, Shu was sure that the person was the superstar.

"ZAC!" Valt greeted loudly with sparks in his eyes.

Zac immediately shushed him as he looked around, fearing someone might hear Valt.

It was like... Zac didn't want to be seen.

"Shhh! Don't be so loud, Little-spark!" He hissed. "I don't want my fans to notice me!"

The Bey-club members looked at each other with confusion on their faces. Okay... That didn't sound like Zac at all.

"So Zac," Shu said quietly, breaking the silence. "What brings you here?"

Zac looked around again, checking if his fans were here, then answered, "I need to talk to you. We need to talk to you."

Shu arched an eyebrow. "'We'?" He repeated.

Zac nodded. "Yes. We. Xhaka, Lui, and me. All of us need to discuss... er... Something important," he said, biting his lower lip.

Shu looked more confused. Xhaka? Zac? And even Lui? Discuss something important? Then that 'something' must be very important.

Shu nodded slowly and checked the time on his phone.

'2:45,' the time said.

'Okay,' Shu thought. 'School's over now. I still have plenty of time left, so I guess practice could wait.'

Shu smiled softly at Zac. "Well then, Zac. Where is the meeting?" He asked.

Zac grinned back like he accomplished something big. "My mansion," he replied.

~~~

Zac's mansion was pretty far away from Shu's school, so Zac offered Shu a ride on his helicopter. Shu hesitated at first, but eventually agreed.

As the helicopter landed on Zac's backyard, the two Spin Emperors jumped down from the vehicle and walked down the dirt path towards Zac's huge mansion. Shu gaped at the mansion in awe. True, the mansion wasn't as big as Wakiya's, but hey, it was still as grand and beautiful as a castle. There were red-rose bushes all around (oh, so that's where Zac got his roses) and even sculptures. There were even carvings of Suns on the walls of the mansion. Everything already looked grand enough, and Shu didn't even need to go inside the mansion to be impressed.

Well, that's a super idol for you.

Zac slowly pushed open the huge doors of his mansion and the two proceeded to walk inside. Shu looked around, not knowing what to say. Wakiya's mansion was bigger than this of course, but Zac's was also amazing. Everything looked magnificent. Everything was magnificent. The chandeliers, the painted walls, the grand stairway... It almost looked like a castle.

A castle from his dreams...

Shu suddenly gasped in horror, his eyes widening. Zac looked at Shu, trying to hide a knowing look,

"You okay?" He asked.

Shu nodded. "I'm fine... It's just... It's just the dreams..." He mumbled, at quietly as possible. "Nevermind."

Zac caught what Shu mumbled though. He pressed his lips into a thin line but didn't say a word.

Shu and Zac walked up the stairway and went to a room. Zac pushed the room's door open, revealing the other two Spin Emperors, Xhaka and Lui, sitting on a velvet couch inside. Lui glared at Shu immediately as it Shu offended him in some way.

"Took you two long enough," Lui said impatiently, tapping his foot.

Zac just smiled and sat down. Shu followed swiftly.

"Tea? Anyone?" He asked. "No?"

Lui's face was blank. "No Zac, just get to the point," he said.

Zac ignored Lui. "No? Then let's get to the point." He laid back on the couch, scratching the back of this neck.

"First things first, are any of you having weird nightmares lately?"

Everyone else's eyes widened. Wait, what? Zac knew? How?

Xhaka broke the heavy silence. "I have," he said, rasing his hand.

"So have I," Shu said as well, bead tilted to the side.

"Hmm..." Zac nodded slowly. "And what's weird is that I am having weird those weird dreams too. Lui?"

Everyone's eyes cast towards the Longinus blader. Lui stuttered at the sudden unwanted attention.

"I haven't!" Lui denied. "They are just just stupid nightmares! About four stupid princes! So Zac, don't drag me in this stupid thing!"

Zac sighed. "So you do admit that you had those dreams, right?" He countered.

Lui immediately covered his mouth. Zac had caught him.

"Damn you," he mumbled. "Fine! I admit I had those dreams! So what? It's just a weird coincidence!"

Zac shook his head.

"This is anything but a coincidence," he said."I can feel it in my heart," he continued. "I can feel that princes are us. I now this sounds cheesy, but I just have a feeling. Everytime I woke up from thise nightmares, the first thing I thought about is the four of us- Yes don't look at me like that-

"Zeus, my Bey, was in my dreams. Just not in its Bey form. I've also saw all your Beys too. Spriggan, Longinus and Xcalibur... But in a different form," Zac finished.

'Okay...' Shu mentally comforted himself. 'At least I'm not the only one that's crazy.'

His thoughts was cut off by Xhaka. "Come to think of it, you're right," Xhaka said. "I felt something too. It felt so real. It felt like it is real. I felt that we are the ones in my dreams. I didn't remember about anything about Xcalibur yet in my dreams, but I remembered the names of the princes clearly. Their names are Prince Zen, Prince Alexander, Prince Luk and Prince Syu. See? Even the princes' names sound like ours! This couldn't be any coincidence!"

Shu then finally opened his mouth to speak, "Xhaka and Zac are right. I have those dreams too. I also have the feeling that the four princes are us. I can't deny the fact that Prince Syu, who was me, looks exactly the same as myself. When the princes were burnt to death in my dreams, I feel myself burning at the same time. The dreams... They almost are like memories. I didn't really remember the details, the names and whatever, but on the other hand, I remember the whole story of the dreams. I remembered how the princes died, the reason why they died, the villagers, the night before their coronation... I don't know why, but I've also seen Spriggan in it. Zac was right.  The Spriggan in my dreams isn't a Beyblade. It was a golden-horned monster. I just know it the second I saw him. The feeling that the monster is Spriggan. And that the princes are us. This sounds more and more like a fantasy TV show..." He mumbled.

Zac nodded and then turned to Lui. "What about you?" He asked.

Lui groaned, "Yes. Fine, I'll tell you. I didn't really dream about the whole thing. I just know that some princes was killed because of talking to some souls, or you could say they were our Beyblades. I also knew that one of the princes, Prince Luk maybe, was me, 'cause it just feels like it. But in my dreams, I didn't only see something. I heard someone- an old woman, talking to me. She was rambling about some stuff about elements and whatsoever, and how Prince Zen got the dang power over air, Prince Alexander got the  earth, I got ice for some reason and Shu over here got fire. It's just plain weird. She said that the princes can use those stupid powers in their afterlives... What the hell are you looking at," He snapped as the other Spin Emperors looked at him with wide eyes.

"Nothing," Zac said and sighed again. An uncharacteristic behavior that he was doing all the time today.

"It's just... Wow. We all know that the princes are us. You know, 'cause we just felt it... But this is just too much. We? We're just bladers, not superheroes with superpowers. Shit. I just don't know anymore..."

No one knew what to say after that and they fell into silence...
