Blaze growled in anger, how could he have been so careless as to let the
purple haired girl run off with his picture? He ran to the controls of his
ship and took off, searching for the Red Tail that the girl was piloting.
It didn't take long; she was flying south at top speed. A grim smile
spread across his face as he began to follow her. Blaze tried to conjure
up an image of Leyana, but to his chagrin, the only picture he could see in
his mind was one that haunted him forever, one he waned to forget
desperately.
~*~*Flashback~*~*
Blaze walked through a street on Mars at night. A slight drizzle dampened his short black hair. His was a sniper for the Red Dragon crime syndicate but was always a lighthearted joker inside. That, he believed, was what made Leyana fall in love with him in the first place. They had been married almost a year now and had a child of their own; her name was Abby. Blaze suddenly noticed a sharp feeling of unease as he thought about his wife and child. Fearing the worst, Blaze ran home as fast as he could manage.
As he got there, nothing seemed out of place; that only intensified the fear. He roamed through the house as if in a dream, searching for any signs of life. He found what he was looking for in the bedroom that he and Leyana shared. He knew that one day he would come home to a scene like this, that was why he was trying to get Leyana and Abby to a different place, someplace not under the jurisdiction go the Red Dragons. He saw Leyana lying on the bed, her throat slit. With a cry of anguish, Blaze rushed toward her lifeless body and cradled her head in his lap.
"It must hurt to have the one you love be murdered." A soft cold voice said behind him. Blaze turned around to face the one who had been talking. Vicious smiled, a dagger dripping with blood in one hand, his katana in its sheath.
"What have I ever done to you?" Blaze asked, reaching for his revolver.
"It's not what you've done to me personally, it's what you did as a sniper that brought these actions to take place. You were once a great beast, but now your fangs are gone and you're nothing more then a kitten."
"You want fangs? I'll give you fangs Vicious!" Blaze leapt towards Vicious, anger blinding him. Vicious had anticipated the move; he brought his dagger upward, digging a deep hole in Blaze's face. Vicious smiled once again when he felt steel hit bone. He threw Blaze on the floor as he clutched his face.
"Why don't you just kill me, I'm a beast without fangs, I have no use for you anymore." Blaze said quietly, wanting nothing more then death.
"Oh no Blaze, I'm not going to kill you. You need to suffer for your deeds first, then you can die."
"Those words will be your undoing one day, younger brother." After Blaze spoke those last words, Vicious vanished into the shadows from which he came, leaving Blaze sitting on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
~*~*End Flashback~*~*
Blaze ran a calloused finger over his scar, remembering. A buzzing noise pulled him out of his trance. Blaze walked over to the controls and saw that the Red Tail had boarded a ship called the Bebop, it was only two or three miles off. A small lopsided smile crossed Blaze's face, at that moment; he looked very much like Vicious.
