Flash Back

"My mother died when I was 1 year old. It was said that she was killed because of Honor but I never knew who killed her. She left only on thing and that was this locket which had a picture of her inside it and Shadow's bit in it too. I only know her first name which was Natasha." Ania said while she was sitting next to me, staring at the night sky above her which was twinkling with stars.

I kept quiet and listened.

She folded her hand around the necklace around her neck. It had a picture of her mother. The only memory of her.

"I'm sorry…" I said in a deaf tone.

She shook her head and looked away again.

"No need… I really didn't know them at all so I have nothing to miss. Though you are the one who is really suffering. You knew your parents well and they were torn away from you." She said quietly.

I knew what she meant, "But you still have to suffer such abusive guardians…"

"I don't really care now… It's kind of like life now. I have to live with it. But can I tell you something Yuri?" She said as she looked at me.

I nodded as I looked away.

She also looked at what I was staring at.

"If it wasn't for you and your friendship, I would've given up on life…" She said.

I looked at her in astonishment.

"Don't say such things. This meant to happen and what ever happens happens for a reason." I said.

She smiled and sighed. Her hood was covering her hair completely.

It was something about her which made me more open towards her. Her black eyes shone in the night sky, reflecting back the stars. And as the wind blew, her hood fell back. Her hair, still caught in the cape, shone marvelously with her pale skin in the moonlight.

End of Yuri's POV

Ania's POV

There was something about his violet eyes which was so sad. And this sadness attracted my welcoming. I never was close to anyone but maybe he has changed that. He is the only boy I am not afraid of in terms of hurting me or using me.

Every word he said was so soothing. But nothing he could say changed my past and my guardians. But just being with him makes me forget all the troubles and pains of the world…

End of Ania's POV

Yuri's POV

I had spent so much time with her when we used to sneak out of the Abbey by her powers. Sometimes all four of us, and sometimes only the two of us.

And in just moments, it all changed.

End of Flashback

True she was angel but I have to look past her and now focus on my world championships. I won't let anyone come close to me ever again. I will be the one everyone will fear and respect.

Wolborg and I practiced everyday and worked our way up in the Abbey. Soon after Ivan also joined the training me, Boris and Sergei used to do. Boris got Falborg and Sergei got Seaborg. They were very powerful too. But I still thought that mine was the strongest.

Then there came the world championships. The team which came so far ahead was the Bladebreakers. But the first time I saw them, they disgusted me. Such amateurs, how could have they come so far.

The only person I was worrying about was Kai. It was the same Kai who was in that accident years ago when Ania left.

I informed Borcloff that the Blade Breakers were here and he called them in.

Later that day I found out that a boy was sent behind the doors for failure in competing with the boy named Tyson from the blade Breakers. But that wasn't what was bothering me at that moment. What was bothering me was that Borcloff had just called me in the Lab.

I walked down the steps and approached the lab. There, Borcloff was waiting for me.

"Tell me Yuri. Do YOU want sure victory?" He asked me with a smirk.

I replied almost immediately, "Yes. Insured Victory."

"Then come with me…" He said as he led me to another part of the lab that was concealed even from me.

I walked in, looking around.

"Please sit." He gestured as he pointed to a bed in front of me.

I wanted to object, but didn't have the guts to.

Suddenly a man came in from the door and injected me with something.

The next thing I remembered was looking at Borcloff and Mister Voltaire's face.

Then I heard Borcloff call me Cyber Yuri which confused me a lot. Then soon I realized that I had absolutely no control over my body. It was as if it had its own control.

Later

'H-How could this happen this to me?' I thought as I looked at me beyblade which flew out of the beyblade dish.

I had just lost to a loser like Tyson even after having such a force of so many stolen bit-beasts.

Everything stopped in front of my eyes. It just wasn't happening.

At first I thought it was just me but then I noticed that time had actually stopped. Tyson's blade was still but still standing in the dish.

Max was half way in the air, jumping up in joy. I saw the joy on all the faces around me. On the faces of the White Tigers, All Stars and the Majestics. DJ Jasmine's hand was up in the air, with the other holding the mike close to his face. I could see the anger on Borcloff's face. That was no surprise for me. I had lost to Tyson.

Suddenly I saw darkness peering from nowhere. It was so bright in the stadium, but there was darkness in one the parts which was disturbing. My eyes widened as I looked at the darkness which was coming towards me with great velocity.

I moved back and suddenly the darkness stopped in its tracks. I could see an outline of a human figure approaching form the darkness.

'It can't be!' I thought in fear. 'It can't be…'

"And why not?" The figure said.

Yes. It was Ania alright.

"Ania. But I thought that you had left us!" I said to her in horror.

"Do you think you can get rid of me so easily…?" She smirked.

She smirked her same evil smirk. She hadn't changed much but she had gotten older.

"Yuri…" She began.

"What a minute…" I blocked her. "How do I have control over myself? Wasn't I cyber Yuri?" I asked her.

She smiled. It had been a long time since I saw a smile like that. It made me joyous but at the same time sorrowful by her sad eyes.

"Yuri, do you remember what I said to you the day I left?" She asked in am echoing tone.

Her voice was still fresh in my memory. When I absorbed in what was happening I replied, "That you kept me humane…"

"And what are you right now?" She asked me in sadness.

"A… A…" I didn't know what to say.

"Regain yourself… Be the same Yuri that I knew… Except defeat and learn from it… Sure you and me, we hate defeat as much as death but just for once, think about what I was sent for."

I tried to speak unspoken words.

"I believe in you…" She said as she came closer and embraced m tightly.

When I was about to hug back, I couldn't feel her anymore.

She had just faded away and time went back to normal.

I stared at Tyson and thought about what Ania had said.

"So pal, How about it?" He said cheerfully as he reached his hand out.

I was unsure at first but then honorably accepted his hand and smiled at him.

It was a new day for me now. Maybe there was still hope…

But I could still see Borcloff glaring at me. Then I saw Tyson bombarded by hugs and congrats from his teammates and other teams too.

I smiled inwardly towards Tyson and how he was with his friends. I could never have friends like these. I had only one who went away and somehow I feel so responsible.

When Tyson looked at me again, I couldn't help but wonder about what Ania had said before she left.

His was still held out for a shake and how could I object, so I also reached my hand out and gratifyingly shook his. There was something in me that told me that this was the right thing to do…

Then I turned around, with grief filled in my eyes and held my head low and walked away…

I finally had a new start to life as it was…………
