A Future worth Fighting For

Chapter One

Radisson Slavyanskaya 2021


Bodies were scattered across the room in a lazy fashion. Eating, watching television or simply fiddling with anything that came as some form of entertainment. Tyson Granger moaned as his head thumped from drowsiness, the after effects of sleeping late into the afternoon taking over.

"Who names a hotel Radisson Slavyanskaya anyway?" he groaned.

"Same reason they named you Tyson." The Russian blader across the room answered almost automatically.

Tyson was tempted to give him the almighty finger, but reframed from it as he gave Kai Hiwatari a sarcastic laugh and pasted his hand over his eyes. It was storming outside and looking pretty bad, trees had been knocked down, among thousands of giant branches, the snow was piling up over car's and the revolving glass door's to the hotel had been barricaded by the snow making it near to impossible to leave. Tyson lifted his dark head and looked briefly out the window watching the snow fall to the ground, it had been three whole days since they had been able to leave the area and he was getting frustrated.

"Guys I'm bored" he whined. Truthfully, everyone knew he just wanted to get out and have a few runs at the Bey-Dish before the final matches in Perm.

"Shut the fuck up Tyson, I'm trying to sleep over here!" yelled the ever vigilant and pissed off Tala Valkov from the fold out bed opposite him, making Tyson sit himself up on the couch and glare his way.

"Then sleep in your own room." He retorted.

Tala cracked an eye open, revealing bloodshot blue eyes "I would, but Bryan and Spencer are playing a game called 'tackle anything that moves', you can go and try and win the room over if you like but Spencer has had it out for you ever since you stole the last chocolate truffle." Tala laughed at the expression on Tyson's face.

Tyson sighed with defeat and moved to sit by the window; anything was better then getting into a dispute with Tala. He couldn't even stand being in the same room as the Russian, which goes the same for Kai, but at least Kai knew when to show a little respect towards other people. He looked around the room, Ray was reading a book, Max was eating a bowl of nasty brownish looking cereal while watching a Russian television program, a program Tyson was almost certain the blond boy didn't even know was about, and Kai was slouched against the wall, eyes closed, posture slouched and arms folded.

Lighting struck down, making both Tyson and Max jump four feet into the air, Kai and Tala almost laughed when they felt grumbling coming from underneath them, the floor started to shake, Tala tried to stand up but gravity wasn't on anyone's side at that moment as he and everyone else were thrown to the floor, when they tried to move they couldn't, it was like someone turned on the gravity to maximum. Kai tried to reach over to where Tyson and the others were but he found himself unable to move. Things started to go fuzzy and before Kai could really rationalize what was happening, his vision fell into complete darkness.


"What happened? I feel like I was hit by a bus." Tala sat up and noticed that everything was still intact in an eerie fashion. The whole room had been destroyed as everyone was thrown to the ground, so why was it suddenly as if nothing had every happened?

"More like a train." Tyson added "Hey guys, does anyone know what happened, it feel's like I've been out for hours."

Max and Ray started to stand up, rather shakily, and both shook their heads. If they were answering or simply trying to get rid of the dizziness, Tyson wasn't sure. "Not a clue" answered Ray.

"Do you think it was a dream?" Max moaned, rubbing the back of his head where a rather large bump was residing.

"Well that would mean we all had the same dream." Kai murmured. He rubbed the back of his head and checked his hand, 'no blood' he thought, his nose wrinkled up disdainfully.

"Hey, um guys?"

"What is it Tyson?" asked Tala irritably, that's all he needed, idiot Granger throwing in his two bits. Tyson pointed outside the window he was looking out, they followed his hand to the outside window, wide eyed at the scene displayed.

Outside was chaos, cars were burning up, buildings had been blasted out of sight and the trees had been cut down to make room for… Tyson had no idea what the dirt tracks were being made for, but from the size of the large wheel tracks it wouldn't have been for Mom's mini van. They were standing there like goldfish until Bryan and Spencer pounded in the door.

"Guys, did you feel that?" asked Spencer rather loudly, he had to make sure he wasn't completely losing his mind.

Kai nodded from the side, genuinely worried about his old team mate. The way Spencer was close to hysteric's confused the Russian blader, he was always quiet and closed in, never revealing his true emotions unless under great pressure.

"Have you seen the rest of the hotel yet?" Bryan inquired, looking out the window next to Tyson. Something told Tyson Bryan and Spencer had seen a lot more then any of them had.

"No, we haven't" he answered.

"The hotel is totally trashed; it looks like everyone left in a hurry."

"Where the hell are we?" whispered Tala, sure no one had heard him. He was shocked when Ray answered his question.

"More like when are we…" Everyone looked at him oddly and he simply pointed to the door, on the door was a plaque, which had 'Welcome Too Radisson Slavyanskaya, Proudly Serving Your Needs since 2021.'

This was bad, really bad.


A/N: Okay, bit of revision, I realized the latter work I did was… pathetic, so to say. So I simply edited it, Hope you all like it. I'm currently writing a small book, and this is to get some of my writers block out of my system. Writers block is a series pain in the ass if you ask me.
