Sparking manga, but darker (I tried so bare with me)
Words cannot describe how devastated he was.
He was on top of the world at that time. He thought that he could face any challenge that went his way.
But after that battle with Lane, his confidence was shattered. It was shattered into so many pieces that putting them back together was nigh on impossible.
He lost in front of Honcho, he lost in front of Aiga, he lost in front of the Legends. He lost in front of everyone who had inspired him.
But most humiliating of all, he lost in front of his little brother, who had always looked up to him.
In bed, the memory of Lane pulling his hair and throwing insults at his face played over and over in his head.
Those hurtful words stabbed deep into his heart to the point of tears.
As he cried himself to sleep, Hikaru failed to notice the bright blue glow coming from his bey. Little did he or anyone else knew, this would be the start of many shocking and bizarre events soon to transpire.

I woke up and found that my brother was already out of bed. Well, he's always out of bed earlier than me but he'd usually try to wake me up afterwards. Even if it annoys me, it's a bit weird that he isn't here. I got up, did the normal morning routine and asked Mom and Dad where he went. They said that he went outside but never told them where. So I got dressed up and started looking for him.
My first instinct was to go to the Bombers gym. When I went there though, Hikaru was nowhere. I asked Honcho if he's seen him but he said that he hasn't seen Hikaru enter or leave the gym.
I spent the entire day asking around about where my brother was but to no avail. When the sun was almost setting, I gave up and decided to go home. I figured that Hikaru would have also gotten home at a time like this. Otherwise, Mom would be angry.
As I was about to reach the door, that was when I saw him, my big brother. I instantly went up to him.
"WHERE WERE YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME?!" I yelled at him, demanding for an answer. "I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU ALL DAY AN-"
He ignored me. Straight up ignored me.
He walked into the restaurant with a blank face, as if I hadn't screamed at him in the face just now.
What happened to my brother?
🔵🔵🔵
It was in the middle of a tournament, and Hikaru had already destroyed two beyblades.
Before this, he was acting really weirdly. He'd do everything that we usually do together all by himself without inviting me, and when I wanted to join him, he'd tell me to leave him alone. He always disappeared from morning till evening, and would always return tired.
I told the other Legends about this, and it looked like Shu and Aiga knew a thing or two about what was going on with him. We didn't act immediately, but we were still cautious about Hikaru's behaviour.
It was only when he broke two beys that the three of us confronted him. He was standing in a hallway with his back turned.
"Hikaru, I saw what you did in the last battle," I said, trying my best to hold back tears. I just couldn't believe that he'd do something like this. "Why? Why did you break those beys?"
