Valt does not exactly know what he's doing or thinking.

All he's aware of is the hot tears keep flowing in his eyes. A rare grim expression takes over his usually happy face. The usual hazelnut eyes the glim in brightness is now dimming and fading away. His chest feels like a fire lits up, cause it keeps burning up which makes him unable to breathe properly. His heart feels torn apart into million pieces and the pain keeps getting worse.

His own body is moving on its own. And his feet bring him to a place that holds a special spot in his heart. He always goes there so it's like his feet already memorized it. His whole body is shaking uncontrollably, which makes the running hard. The rush of adrenaline and overwhelming emotion is the only thing that keeps him moving.

Then there he sees, in the Beigoma park where the beautiful stadium place in, it brings a lot of nostalgic feelings.

But the one who stood the most is the person standing over there that turn around to see him. A tall figure with silky white hair that looks soft and attractive even tho it's messy, bright fierce crimson eyes that shine like fire scorching through. An attire that represents his well-mannered behavior, consists of a short-sleeved pink dress shirt with a black and red striped tie, a black high-collared vest with a white interior, long black pants, and shining black shoes; his vest bears a red Beyblade symbol on the left side. On his right hand, he sports a red fingerless glove with yellow accents and a square cuff, that he started to use when he starts his blading career

"Y-you're here!" A desperate, cracking voice escape his lips. He gasps in surprise, hazel brown eyes shining in sparkling joy as if he witnesses an incredible miracle in the world.

A surge of relief washed over his body and all of his shaking earlier disappeared. The tears of pain are now replaced by tears of joy.

So his habit of invading people's space overtakes him. He runs as fast as he can, jumping so high with his hands spread in the air to give his best friend a hug

"Shu!" His shout filled with anguish echoed through the park

He expects a warm body to crash over, the usual thing he always does that brings him comfort, relief, and warmness... but for some reason, he can't feel it.

The air brushed him lightly, and the next thing he knew, his face crashed to the floor, and the pain was inflicted on his whole body.

But, the pain he felt from falling to the cold concrete floor is nothing to the pain of reality slapping him. And the previous despair he thought vanished now came back as fast he realized it was all a hallucination.

His usual strong heart, even tho a lot of people take advantage of his kindness and do harsh things to him starts to crumble down. It feels like someone hammers his heart until breaks into million pieces. nother waves of pathetic tears flow down his cheek again. Realizing how a total mess he is.

Who is he kidding? Why is he making himself more suffer? Why can't he accept that Shu is dead?

As Valt lifts his head, he gazes over the horizon of his eyesight, he spots the perpetual beauty of the sky. The vibrant hues of orange and yellow color with the hint of small rays of light from the sun scattered in the endless sky. The way the shades of energetic yellow and warm orange dance in the sky happily make his heartache because it reminds him of two friends who happily hang out together. The sun slowly sinks its way back of depth horizon, to think the above gives him one last moment to see such a masterpiece before giving him the last bittersweet goodbye.

But no matter beautiful and majestic the sunset is, it's just a blank canvas to his eyes from now on because Shu wasn't here on his side to give colors to his life.

"Valt" A soft voice call him out of nowhere.

The said person blink at the recognition of the voice, confusion coloring his face, he slowly stands up and dusts himself, wipe all the tears on his face and compose himself, he took his blue beyblade on him which is glowing in bright sapphire blue.

And for some unknown reason, his beyblade emits blue blinding light, he shut his eyes tightly and can feel the exact moment the light disappears, he slowly opens his eyes, electric blue bleeds into his vision and he knows he's not in the mortal world anymore.

The place where he could meet his partner, the familiar world of blue where it can be only locked with the blader and beyblade avatar have a strong bond.

Here he meets an androgynous humanoid clad in light-blue armor, a turquoise cape, a helmet with a purple wing-style, wields a sword, and rides a dark-blue horse.

Valtryek stood in front of him.

The bluenette finds himself floating in the mysterious and majestic world as he looks up at his loyal partner. "What is it, partner?" Valt ask in confusion, it's odd that Valtryek is calling him suddenly.

"There is still hope to bring him back," Valtryek said dropping the bomb, with a hint of ominous feeling that Valt didn't notice.

The blader blink multiple times, he repeat what his partner said, and took him some time to register what Valtryek just said and when he did...

"WHAT!?"

He shout in disbelief that echo in the whole place, and if his partner has ears, Valtryek would be deaf right now.

"Yes," Valtryek confirms although it sounds like she was hesitating.

The next thing Valtryek spoke, Valt gulped harshly and can feel the moment the atmosphere in his surrounding.

"But there is a price to pay and sacrifice to make"
