Survival /// Beyblade Burst Fanfiction

Assassin Ending

AN: Later on there will be Possibilities, so I want to clarify the difference.

Endings are official Survival (computer game) endings, so like good and bad ending.

Possibilities are not official and they are based on the characters choices/ votes.

Game Chat

Daigo: I know who is the Assassin.

Valt: Who?

Daigo: Come to the main room.

Valt tucked his phone away and bolted to the main room. Daigo and Xander were already there. Wakiya and Honcho ran in moments later.

"Well?" Wakiya demanded. "Who is the Assassin?"

Daigo dropped his gaze.

"I am the Assassin."

No.

Yes.

Daigo is the Assassin.

"No... why?" Valt asked, heartbroken. Even though Daigo was mean before Valt got to know him, he was a close friend now. Valt couldn't believe it. "Why did you do that?"

Daigo hunched his shoulders. "I'm sorry. I guess you can't forgive me. You shouldn't forgive me. I killed so many people."

Valt could see his friends dealing with the statement in different ways. Wakiya huffed. Honcho looked hurt. Xander blinked, confused.

"I don't know what to think," Valt confessed. "Could you at least tell me who was in this with you?"

"Clio was my accomplice. It makes sense, because we know each other. I know there is one more Assassin, but I don't know who it is."

"That would be me."

An all-too-familiar man masked in a black and purple helmet was smiling cruelly at them. He had appeared out of nowhere, formed by the shadows.

"Ashtem!" Valt said angrily. "You're the one controlling us. It all makes sense now. You are the other Assassin." Ashtem still maintained his cruel smile. "Indeed." "You wanted revenge on Shu for leaving the Snake Pit," Daigo guessed. "Red Eye was powerful. But Shu Kurenai his weak. The Snake Pit does not accept those who abandon us. They do not like those who are weak."

"Shu's not weak!" Valt shouted. Ashtem chuckled. "Valt Aoi. You're still the same."

Xander raised his fists. "We can eliminate you!" Ashtem didn't flinch. "But today is the eleventh day. Daigo, you know what that means."

Daigo nodded. "If you don't find the Assassin within eleven days, on the eleventh day voting time will be canceled. There will then be a game against the Assassin, in our case, the most dangerous Assassin."

Valt slumped. "We've lost."

Daigo gripped Valt's arm. "There's another way."

He led Valt away from the main room. Ashtem didn't notice, as he was busy laughing at them.

"The game is us versus the Assassin. It will reveal their identity because by that day, the Assassin will either kill us all, or we eliminate them," Daigo explained. "And if we defeat Ashtem, the game will become a normal computer game and it won't matter if we win or lose because you didn't catch me."

"But you're the most dangerous Assassin," Valt said. "Right?"

Daigo smiled crookedly. "I only killed one person, Valt. Ashtem has killed most of us and sent his accomplice— most likely one of his minions— to kill the others."

"That means..."

"Soon, we'll all be free. The ones eliminated will turn up to be alive. We'll all leave the game, and physically, nothing will have happened to us. Wounds will heal. Those unconscious in real life will wake."

"But not mentally," Valt added sadly. "The game has taken its toll on all of us."

"When fighting Ashtem, we have a disadvantage. It's like the free-for-all. Ashtem only needs to hold one of us down for ten seconds to eliminate us, while we need to hold him down for thirty seconds," Daigo said. "It might not seem like a lot, but it is a big disadvantage because Ashtem may bend the rules and send his minions in. He is controlling us, so it shouldn't be hard for him."

"Daigo, you're amazing!" Valt exclaimed. "It was Shu's plan," Daigo said quickly. "I just made some modifications because of Ashtem."

"Well... thanks anyway."

. . .

Valt was instantly teleported to a stadium. He was inside a stony cell, but the bars were slowly rising. The game's instructions flashed in front of him.

The Assassin is in the middle. Hold them down for thirty seconds and they will be eliminated! But if they manage to hold you down for ten seconds, you will be eliminated. Eliminate the Assassin.

The bars finally rose enough for Valt the pass through. Valt reached into his pocket and took out the knife Daigo had given him and the others right before the game began. Staring at it, his anger skyrocketed. Ashtem will pay.

In the center, Ashtem shouted, "Now!" Spirits appeared around him, their weapons locked together. Valt realized that they were the Bey spirits of Bladers Ashtem had corrupted. He could even make out Spryzen wielding an axe.

This is like a Bey battle! Valt thought. Valtryek! I need your help!

His knife flickered. Valt could see in was now encased by a image of Valtryek's long sword.

Use it to defeat the corrupted spirits, Valtryek told him. When your friends attack, charge in and hold Ashtem down.

Valt used his sword to slash through the spirits, breaking through the first line. He could see his friends working their way through, using their Bey's weapons.

But Ashtem wasn't out of tricks. He leaned down and summoned an axe. Spryzen's axe. Valt could feel rage bubbly up in him. Ashtem plunged the axe into the ground. The force sent Valt flying backwards.

That just made him furious. "That's Shu's!" he screamed at Ashtem. He lunged forwards, his sword raised, ready to strike.

Ashtem deflected the attack with the axe. He began launching relentless attacks that reminded Valt too much of Spryzen's attacks. Wakiya threw a ball of fire with Wyvorn's power and destroyed the last spirit defending Ashtem.

"Elemental Shield!" Ashtem yelled.

The four elements surged up around Ashtem, not letting anyone through.

Flash Launch! Valtryek said in his mind. Use it!

Valt charged through the barrier. His sword met the axe. Valt put all his power in pushing the axe down. "Go!" The axe dissipated, and the sword clanged against Ashtem's helmet, dazing him. Valt kicked him out of the shield to his friends, who promptly pinned him down.

Ashtem put up a fight, but without a weapon, he was quickly overcome.

Xander used Xcalius's heavy sword to keep Ashtem down. Wakiya blasted fire at his helmet to daze him and scorch him if he fought back. Daigo and Honcho were holding down Ashtem's limbs on either side.

28... 29... 30!

Ashtem flickered and disappeared.

Valt suddenly found himself sitting in his chair. 

I'm finally free!
