Ania started walking and I started following her. She finally stopped in a very unfamiliar and dark place. The only thing I could see was her face.

"Tell me Yuri… What would you have done if I hadn't met you?" She asked me seriously.

I stayed quiet. I had no idea what to say.

"You would be ruthless beyond all ways, and you would be an inhumane human."

I looked at her in surprise. Is that what she thought of me?

"My life was useless. I had no meaning to live. Then I met you and I knew what I had to do. I knew the meaning of my life." She sighed.

I listened to her quietly.

"I had to make you strong and keep you human." She said.

I narrowed my eyes.

"And today my task is complete." She said again in a sigh.

"What do you mean by 'task'?" I asked her.

"And now that my task is complete I must go now."

"What are you saying? I can't understand anything." I yelled in annoyance.

"Yuri, I am not a human. I don't know what I am as far is that is concerned. But one thing is for sure, now it is time for me to go, and to leave behind everything." She said with a sob.

I gripped her arms again and wobbled her.

"No you don't! You have nowhere to go! You will stay with us. We need you! I need you!" I roared.

But this time instead of freeing herself, she bet forward and hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry…" She whispered in my ear.

My throat felt dry and warm. Suddenly I noticed light coming out Ania's body. And in a split second her body was lit up so bright that I had to cover my eyes.

"I don't know how to thank you for all the precious time you spent with me. And I have no idea how I knew that I had to go today but I felt it strongly." She said, her voice echoing through the whole place.

A tear ran off my cheek as I looked at her glowing body. Shadow approached me and started rubbing her body next to my legs. I bent down and hugged her but I kept my eyes Ania. Then Shadow broke off and went to the glowing Ania. She also started glowing.

"Goodbye Yuri… You were my life and happiness…" Ania whispered.

And soon the light started to disappear and so did the two in front of me. I held my hand out as if trying to reach them.

"Thank you…" I whispered to myself. She was truly an angel blessed on me.

And the next second, I was alone, just like before. Suddenly thousands of flashbacks started flowing in my mind. Of all the times we used to sneak out of my room and the four of us used to spend treasured times together laughing.

And all the times we used to practice blading, me, Boris, Sergei and Ania. And how she used to make sarcastic jokes on Boris which we all enjoyed. Indeed her sense of humor was too good. Even Boris enjoyed it. And how me and Ania used to talk about life and its sadness which surrounded us. She used to tell me about why she used to take the cape to prevent stares from other guys.

And what she said about keeping me humane was true in a sense. She reminded me countless times of softness and caring. Though from the outside she didn't look that caring or soft, she was a very kind and good person.

And my mind slowly was flooded by her smiles and laughter. And her black eyes and her long and hidden hair.

An angel who changed me. An angel who touched me in so many ways. An angel who is gone now. An angel with unseen wings. An angel with a beautiful smile. An angel for me.

I turned around and slowly strolled back to the Balkov Abbey. I knew I would be in trouble, but there were too many other things in my mind.

When I got there it was getting dark.

"I didn't expect that you would come back but after running away, I am pleased that you came back so I might not give you a punishment." I heard Borcloff say.

I didn't care anymore. Now all I wanted was to make Ania proud by being the best beyblader out there.

I walked to my room and skipped dinner and kept awake all through the night.

I kept thinking about where Ania would have gone. Maybe to heaven or someplace else.

That night I heard a loud and disturbing noise from the lab. I quickly got up and ran to the lab and went through the crowd of children standing by the railing.

I tried to get a good look at what was happening and I did. It was Kai! He was stealing Black Dranzer. I knew he was no good. Suddenly I saw a huge light and the next I remembered was that I was lying in a bed with my head bandaged.

"W-What happened?" I said as I held my head.

"Ivanov, you are conscious finally…" One of the caped people said.

I got up in a hurry and ran towards Borcloff's office.

I could hear screams from the room. I though the voice belonged to Mister Voltaire, the owner of this place. But he had never had a visit like this before. We would be informed before his arrival but this to unexpected. He was screaming loudly at Borcloff.

"I had told you to keep Black Dranzer in a safe and unexpected place you moron!" Voltaire yelled.

Then I remembered that Kai had tried to steal it.

"And now we have lost all chances of making Kai the strongest!"

"But sir he has lost all his memory of this event or this place. We could-" Borcloff was interrupted by Voltaire.

"No! We must not remind him of this place. I will send him away with Dranzer to look for worthy bladers. What is the damage he has done?"

"Sir, the accident has killed 7 children and injured over 70." Borcloff reported.

"I am still amazed at how Kai had survived it even after being in the middle of it. I want you to select your best bladers and gather them into a team." He announced.

I heard no reply but I then I heard footsteps so I ran away to my room.

Wolborg was still in my pocket.

Suddenly the door opened and Borcloff came in.

"Yuri. You are one of our best bladers and I would like you to join our world competing team." Borcloff said.

I said nothing.

"You will the captain of Borg. And your teammates will be Sergei, Boris and Ivan." He said.

I thought about who Ivan was? Wasn't he the short boy with the huge nose?

"You will start extensive practice from tomorrow." He declared and left the room.

"Don't worry Ania. I will make you proud of me and what you did for me. I will prove to the world I am the bets out there." I said to myself and clenched my fist.

I fixed Wolborg to my new blade which was grey.

"By the snow on Russia, I will make my country and my best friend proud by this power in my hand." I vowed to myself and that's when I began Borg.

End of Flash back

It was true that I never forgot Ania. And I hope that she never forgot me either, wherever she was right now.
