BBB Novella

Rejection－[IV]

The bluenette clenched the blue blade in his fist. Wiping away his tears, he reached for his study table and took a deep breath to calm himself.

Master...

Valkyrie said in a worried tone as Valt smiled. "It's okay, Valkyrie. I am fine," he said as his gaze fell on his arm. He rolled up his sleeves to see the wifi-like tattoo. "Let's find ou－" he got cut off when he noticed the design closely.

"Wait, last time, there were five. How it's four now?"

Master, I think it's the number of how many times you can time travel. 

Valt listened to his blade as his attention goes back to his hand. "Means I have already time travelled one time and now I can do it four times?" He thought. There was an eerie silence in the room. The bluenette was lost in his thoughts when an idea popped up in his mind. 

"Why not..." he whispered. "I change the past?" he had an emotionless expression. The news of the accident flashed before his eyes. 

Botokusa gang. They are the corrupted part of the Beyblade community. Only if he could stop them before the situation turned worse. Whenever he hears about that gang in the news, he always has a bad feeling about it. 

Master, It can cost you a big price, Valkyrie said as Valt's eyebrows drawn together.

"Yesterday, I heard the news. Botokusa is not just a corrupted club; it also commits crimes that can even cost someone's life if we don't stop them! If I can go back to the past and stop the formation of Botokusa, then things can change!" he said. "Not for me, but for the place where my siblings live. Not for me, but my siblings."

"Please, Valkyrie. Trust me," he whispered the last part as his voice started cracking. There was no reply until a few minutes when Valt could see his surroundings turning blue.

Young ones, I have always trusted you. She said and pointed her sword at Valt. Go, and change the world.

Valt nodded and came back to reality. I will do this! He thought but stopped. "But how to time-travel?" the coolness that he showed just faded away with his dumb question. He stared at the design, trying tricks and chanting awkward mantras to time travel. Alas, everything failed. 

Frustrated, he slapped his wrist when sparks of blue light surrounded him. "What the－" before he could react, he left the house. His existence was no longer there.

🔵 🔵 🔵

"Mom!" a cheerful voice pierced through his ears. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking continuously to clear his vision. The light pierced into his eyes, preventing him to open them. "Mom! See what I found!" The familiar, cheerful voice entered his ear again. 

He rubbed his eyes, gazing around. He looked beside him when he saw a young bluenette. His eyes widened recognizing the kid. It was him. 

"Mom, what's this?" he asked, giving something to a black-haired woman. The woman inspected the thing and smiled back sweetly.

"Sweety, it's a sea shell" she replied. The younger ones' eyes sparkled with excitement. His facial expression asked the woman about the light pink sea shell. "These things are found near the sea. It's new to find them beside a river. Maybe it's artificial." She continued. She leaned and gave the sea shell to the bluenette. "Now, put it there where you found it," she ordered and ruffled his hair.

The bluenette nodded and put the shell near the riverside. He went back to the woman, standing near the bench, waiting for him. He held her hand and smiled. "Let's wash you up. You're dirty," she cheerfully said, pinching his nose tip. The bluenette laughed childishly. 

"Why?" Valt's eyes fixed on the child and the woman who was going away. Far from his sight until he lost them. He looked behind him. The surroundings change from day to night. The house he remembered very well. The twins sitting with him, staring at the blue blade.

A spiky blue-haired male came closer to them and ruffled their hair. "Valt, it's your Christmas present," The man said with a smile. The hazel eyes shined, looking at the man with joy. They shifted to the blue blade as the excitement in his eyes grew. 

"I will become a blader!" another flashback of a middle schooler bluenette. The pink-haired female laughed at his brother's statement to tease him. "Hey!" the bluenette pouted. 

"It's okay," the bluenette turned to the sea green-haired male, who was smiling at him. "I am by your side!" His words echoed when everything turned black, leaving Valt alone in the void. There was an eerie silence. 

"Liar" Words came ut of Valt's mouth when another flashback started. It was the seaside where the bluenette was sitting in the dark. Valt walked near him and stopped. He was crying. His blade clenched in his fist, his tears rolled down his cheek and fell on the blade. His blue hair was down with his broken headband beside him.

"Sorry...Valkyrie...!" Valt silently noticed the boy cry. The sight of the boy faded away. He heard a loud sound behind him as he turned around. 

Turning around where he saw the bluenette on his knees with a black-haired woman looking at him with anger and disappointment. "Get out of the house! You are nothing but a burden!"

"But mom-" the door shut. Again, leaving Valt in the black void all alone. He clenched his teeth when thousands of voices ran through his head.

"You are a burden!"

"Why you chose to be a blader, nee-san?" 

"Ha! Disappointment!"

"Why are you so stubborn?"

"Just be yourself, Valt."

"YOU ARE FORGOTTEN!"

"SHUT UP! YOU ALL ARE LIARS!" The bluenette shouted. His breathing got heavy. He fell to his knees, sobbing as the suffocating feeling started strangling him. He was trembling. Why does this happen to him? that's what he could think. 

"Valt," a voice came as Valt looked up. His vision was blurry because of the tears. The only thing he saw was a hand. "Let's change everything," the voice said. 

How could he reply? His mind was full of different types of thoughts and emotions. Without any hesitation and doubt, he held the unknown hand. 

－ </3 －

"Huh?" he opened his eyes and found himself in an alley. He looked around in confusion. What was those flashback? Whose hand was that? Valt was confused when he heard his bey.

Master, we are in the past.

Valkyrie said as Valt jolted up. "Seriously, it's complicated," he said sighing. Secrets are coming and coming. But he can't step back. His task is to change the past. After that, he will find his answer.

"Let's go," though he didn't know what to do for sure, he knew something. That's his last hope. The only thing that he could do. 

That is to find the founding members of the Botokusa gang.
