Red Eye
I knew that brat couldn't beat me. I'm stronger than he'll ever be. I almost have Shu completely dead, by tomorrow, he'll be dead and forgotten. Red Eye is who I am now. Shu Kurenai is gone!

Shu was now gone and Valt had yet to find out. Red Eye was focused on becoming stronger and beating Lui. The words repeated in his mind.
'You must leave everything behind. Forget all your friends and loved ones. They're all your weaknesses and only hold you back from what you really want, power. Never let these words leave your mind.'
He repeated them to himself as he continued to forget Valt and the rest of the gang, but Valt was the one he had to work a bit harder to get out of his mindset.
"Hmm... I don't want you in my life. You're nothing to me and you never were."
He said to himself aloud. Tiny faint voices were screaming in the back of his mind to stop, but he easily ignored them, killing off Shu Kurenai.
"You can call me a demon, but nothing will stop me. Red Eye has killed Shu Kurenai and he can't be revived. No one can stop the devil inside!!"
Red Eye yelled with an evil grin and laughed maniacally.

Valt
I couldn't beat Shu... At this rate, I'll never get him back. He was so rude after the few battles too... I went back to the hotel and decided to take a shower, I knew I smelled like snake and god knows what else. I was so going to sleep after I got out, it was 7am and I was tired from all the walking.
-----------
I got out of the shower and changed into my pajamas, I wasn't going anywhere today. I jumped into bed and covered up tightly. Hotel rooms are always freezing.
----------
I got to sleep for about 30 minutes until everyone came busting through the door.
"Valt, get up! Gotta find your boy toy!"
That was definitely Silas...
"I just got back from seeing him an hour ago..."
I told them all.
"You went to the Snake Pit already? What time?"
Wakiya asked.
"I got there at almost 3am, then got back here at 7am."
I sat up and started explaining what happened, since I knew no one was gonna leave me to sleep until I did.
"I didn't want to wait for the finals to beat Shu because it's weeks away, so I went there last night and we battled a lot at the Pit. He won every time... Before I left, he said some really harsh shit..."
Tears began to well up in my eyes as I thought about the things Red Eye said.
"What did he say?"
Daigo asked. I tucked my knees in against me and shut my eyes tightly as tears poured from my eyes.
"Valt... It's okay. If you can't think about it right now-"
"No, he said that I was just a weakness to him. That we were all holding him back from getting stronger and he didn't want us in his life, especially me... He said he is leaving everything and everyone behind and then he shoved me to leave."
I explained, my voice going in and out the whole time. I hid my face in my knees and gritted my teeth as I cried. I know the guys didn't really know how to comfort me, so I grabbed my phone and saw Shu was my wallpaper and cried harder.
"Shit... You guys can leave... I just wanna sleep and dream of Shu. Maybe it'll give me a sign that everything will get fixed..."
"You sure dude?"
Silas asked. I nodded.
"Text or call us if you need anything man."
Honcho said as he opened the door and held it open for the others. He left after them and as soon as the door shut, I plopped down on my back and stared up at the ceiling. I dozed off in two minutes.

~Dream~
I was in a black void and I heard voices off in the distance.
"Shu, ahahaha!"
"Valt, get back here! Hahaha!"
I saw two boys that looked to be Toko and Nika's age. One had white hair and the other had blue spiked hair. I could see it was me and Shu as kids. We were chasing each other around the park. I turned around and heard more voices.
"Shu, show me your new bey!"
"I call it, Storm Spryzen! Ready?"
"3... 2... 1... Let it.. RIP!!"
That was when Shu first got a Beyblade. I saw him and me battling over and over again. That was a fun day... More flashbacks? I saw us sitting on the hill at the park.
"Here, Shu."
"Oh, cute! I love flower crowns! I made you one too!"
"Haha! We match!"
I still have that crown too... After that flashback, I saw one that hit me hard. Shu and I were sitting on the beach. He had his arm wrapped around my shoulder and had me pulled close to him as we watched a dolphin jump in and out of the water.
"I don't want anything to happen to us, Shu. Can you promise me that we'll always be best friends?"
"I promise, we'll always be best friends and more. I love you, Valt Aoi."
"I love you too, Shu Kurenai.
I fell to my knees, then onto my side and curled up in fetal position as I bawled. I gripped the sides of my head and screamed until I woke up.
~end of dream~
------------
My eyes jolted open and I immediately realized that everything was a dream.
"Why...?"
I asked myself.
TW
------
"Why did I need to see all those flashbacks? All that did was make me even more depressed! Shu hates me now... He doesn't love me anymore. I should just off myself. Then, I wouldn't get bullied, I wouldn't be heartbroken, I could be happy and so would everyone else. No one would care or notice."
As I said that aloud to myself, I got a text from... Shu?! I opened the text and it read;
My gay Shu<3: Snake Pit, now!
Why did he want me at the Snake Pit?
