The Future That Seems So Unclear

Part two-Kano Kon

The Future is a series of small fics put together to explain the past of our team better. It is beyblade related (for those evil people who would seek to take it down) and I hope you enjoy and t does give you a better insight to our characters. This one goes flashback, dream, flashback, reality.

No more please…In my last attempts to regain my balance I use my remaining energy. I fall backwards as the world goes black.

Kano woke up. It was nine am and the Russian winter sun shone brightly through the closed curtains. Getting out of bed, Kano underwent her morning ritual. She had a shower, got dressed, had a bite to eat, brushed her hair and teeth, then left to begin the days training.

When Kano arrived at the training hall, a familiar face was sat waiting for her. As he looked up his slate blue bangs parted to reveal his crimson eyes. Kai, grandson of the owner of the hell they were in, was waiting.

"Hey Kai, s'up?" Kano asked as cheerfully as she could. Kai stood up and walked half way across the grey tiled floor to meet Kano.

"I have something for you…" Kai said in his usual monotonic voice. Kano watched as Kai pulled a folded piece of paper out of his trouser pocket. "Here this is for you…don't show anyone else."

Kano took the piece of paper. Unfolding it she scanned the room. All the 'bladers, dressed in the same grey cloak as Kai and her, were training hard in hopes of becoming the next world champion. This was life in hell, but hell was home.

Kano looked down at the piece of paper and began to read the scribbled note.

Kano,

I'm leaving soon. Voltaire doesn't know, neither does Boris and as your final favour to me, don't tell them. I'll come back for you soon. I promise.

Kai.

"But…you can't Kai…" Kano looked up from reading the Russian note to find Kai gone. "Oh Kai."

What…Ah! Waking up, the first thing I feel is the pain that shoots through my body. My arms and legs ache like hell. My head is pounding and my stomach feels like it's been turned inside out. What…happened?

"Kano get up! You have training to do! You will master Black Dranzer 2!"

Help me Kai…where are you? Looking around I see the red beyblade across the room in the dish. I stand up and head across.

"I will master Black Dranzer2." I repeat solemnly. I had been counting the amount of times I had said that. I lost count a long time ago though…I feel like a robot with only one sentence programmed.

"Get going!" The voice commands as I clip the beyblade to my launcher and prepare, mentally and physically, for the training ahead.

I launch the blade and it spins furiously into the dish dug into the floor.

"Black Dranzer 2!" Suddenly the bit chip flashes and a large black phoenix appeared above the dish. I have to do this!

"Good, now control it Kano. This is your final chance!"

Finally I manage to harness Black Dranzer 2 to my power. The clone of the evil bitbeast Black Dranzer is mine to control. Now I'll find out what a year and a halves training was for.

You left me Kai…All alone in the darkness. After I mastered that 'blade they put me through more tests. I thought I'd get to go to the world championships…I was just a guinea pig! When you came back with the Bladebreakers I thought you'd come to rescue me, rescue us all…I was wrong! You'd come for power! You'll never understand how much I hate you for that. You broke a promise. I wish you could see the dreams that haunt me night after night. Soon after the World Championships, I ran away. I left it all behind and stopped 'blading. Then I met Ishimu, she was interested in 'blading and I gave her my Zhang 'blade. I built myself a new 'blade, Fallen Lady. Izzy and I are going to Japan, you should recognise her if you see her in the streets, you knocked her back in the gutter. Remember?

We might meet again Kai, but if we do we'll be enemies.

The setting sun slowly disappeared behind the snowy Russian horizon and Kano was left in the dark to think.

So that's Kano, next chapter's Blank.
