Beyblade Burst Oneshots

Interlude: Rebirth of Cho Z Spriggan

After Shu's battle against Phi, a lot of things were happening. After all, Aiga had to train and beat Phi. But what was Shu doing, after Spriggan's destruction? How did he rebuilt his Bey and come to Beigoma in such a short time? This is the answer.

There will be two important OCs and some head canons concerning Shu's life with the Bulls. Otherwise it's canon-compliant.

The battle was long over but still, Shu felt restless. Aiga was training with the rest of them but they had collectively decided that they would take the next flight home. The stage for the battle of Aiga and Phi had already been decided. Since it was Beigoma it was better to get back as soon as possible as to not suffer from jetlag during it.

All of the boys had been on board with the decision, except Fubuki. He was worried, Shu could tell. He didn't want to leave his mentor alone after that battle. While Shu was touched by the sentiment he felt like Fubuki was needed elsewhere.

Valt and Kit decided to fly back to Spain and since their flight was only about an hour before the other they all decided to go to the airport together. Shu almost had to drag them away from their training battles, however. He found himself laughing.

They packed their things at a record time and then they were off. Shu went with them to the airport, even if he knew he had other things to do, just to reassure his protégé. He felt that this was the best course of action.

They sent Valt and Kit off – with smiles and promises to meet again soon – and then Shu accompanied the three younger Bladers to the check-in. Since their flight was later they hadn't been able to go through customs yet when Valt and Kit had dropped their luggage off.

Shu was aware that he was being a little overprotective, checking that they had everything and giving warnings and all that but he was honestly used to it by now. Leading a blading team also came with the responsibility of hundreds of Bladers – as young as five even – and he was long past the point of being embarrassed by it.

Aiga and Ranjiro quite enthusiastically told him goodbye and not to worry since Aiga was going to train hard and defeat Phi. Shu smiled at them. They didn't know that he was planning to join them soon enough.

Fubuki stayed behind a little longer.

"Are you sure you'll be fine?" he asked softly. "With how the battle ended..."

Shu lied a hand on his protégé's shoulder.

"It'll be okay, Fubuki. They need you more than me right now."

Fubuki seemed unsure. "But..."

Shu was really touched once more by how much Fubuki cared. It made him feel warm.

"They'll need your level-head. And don't worry, I'll join you soon enough."

Fubuki looked at him in surprise; his eyes bright and hopeful. Shu smiled and, on an impulse, reached out to ruffle Fubuki's hair. Fubuki made a sound of surprise and embarrassment but that only made Shu chuckle. He knew that sound from Tokonatsu when Valt did something overly affectionate.

"Fubuki! Come on, we don't have all day!" Ranjiro yelled.

"Coming!" Fubuki answered and turned back to Shu.

"I'll see you soon then."

"Yeah. See you."

From farther away the boys waved at Shu again. They were going to be fine.
