I own only Vincent and the made up characters in here. The characters like Averus and Trista belong to their rightful owners and not me. This is an AU fic for the story before this one. So you must read that one before you can understand this one. One more thing, in this one though, Street already owns the alleys. Also, there are slight yaoi between Alexander and Vincent and some friendship moments between Street and Vincent. That's about it; I don't own beyblade and never will and remember to R and R please!! ************************************************************************

During the fire, the bit- beasts known as Azul and Arashi Had saved their masters from certain doom and brought them to safety. But during that one moment in time, Nanashi, the Shadow Blader's younger brother and his bit-beast Azul mysterious disappeared as certain doom was heading towards the two.
