As you may have noticed I have left some things unanswered. This is mainly because I am planning to do a trilogy with each story taking place after a series of Beyblade. I am sorry to those who don't like stories that leave things up in the air, but that is what life is like: the story never ends (OK how corny did that sound?).

Epilogue

Lillian sat in a chair at the hotel they were staying at. She had done most of the talking with the police after taking a very long time to persuade her father in law that everything would be fine even with the police involved.

There had been no news on her son and she was beginning to wonder if first of all, she would ever see him again and secondly, what she would say to him. She had never been able to fill her husband's shoes, but instead of trying to help her son she became wrapped up in her own affairs. It had always been Voltaire who had known what the boy was doing, not her, his own mother.

Suddenly she heard a knock at the door, so walking over she opened it to find a boy with two-toned hair standing in front of her his face was downcast, but she still recognised him. She flung her arms around him, pulling him close and crying into his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Mom, everything's fine." His soft voice half-whispered into her ear.

Tears of joy fell from her eyes as she hugged him tighter. Needless to say she was happy to have him back in her arms. Smiling she turned her head to see Voltaire. Letting go of her son and saying how happy she was he was back, she walked out of the hotel room.

"Did you tell the police?"

"About you? No." Kai had yet to look up at his grandfather. "I told them about Boris and Tala, though."

"Tala was with you?"

"Yes."

"Is he alright?" It was more politeness than genuine concern, but Kai accepted that from his grandfather.

"Yes. He's living with someone that had helped us."

The elder man nodded, "Why have you not looked at me yet Kai?"

Kai tensed, in a way he was hoping to put this off, but nonetheless he looked up at his grandfather, whose eyes widened before he seemed to relax. "Boris?"

Not daring himself to speak Kai nodded, watching as his grandfather's eyes narrowed and his fists began to shake. Voltaire sighed, unclenching his fist and running a hand through his hair, before turning and leaning on the window.

"There is nothing I can say to make this up to you Kai except to let you lead your own life. If after finishing your education you wish to take over the family company you can, but," he turned to face Kai, "if you find that that is not what you want to do then, although I will not agree, I will respect that decision. It is obvious to me now that you will become great at something that you feel passionate about."

Kai could not help but let his jaw drop at what his grandfather had just said. Smiling slightly he walked up and hugged his grandfather. "Thank you."

Kai completely missed the smile that spread across the old man's face before he returned a brief hug to his only grandson.

There was no scene made when Kai moved back with his grandfather. The media never really found out about it and the people that had known kept quiet. At this point in time Kai decided to quit beyblading. There was no real reason for him to keep going, since his team had won the World Championships.

With new amounts of time on his hands, Kai soon found himself starting up at one of the best schools in Japan. It was a boarding school where Kai knew he would not fit in, but at the same time he only wanted to go there to be the best. Whatever he would do in the future would be his choice alone.

I stand at the crossroads,

looking back on my life.

Like everyone I have regrets,

but I will look to my future.

The past has happened

I stand, alone once more

The cold wind flows around

And a beacon lights my path.

What do I choose,

the old or the new?

Will I change for better or worse?

In the end only history will tell.

Rain pelted the walls and roofs of houses as a dark figure walked along the street. The streetlights illuminated his path somewhat, but it still very dark. Turning a corner the figure walked over to another man who was standing with his back leaning against a tree.

"So, it's been a long time Hiwatari. When was the last time the two of us spoke, five, ten years ago?"

The first figure answered with a smirk on his face, "You saw me only a few months ago, Granger, or you wouldn't be here."

A laugh escaped the lips of the second figure, "You may be right, but you have called me on business, so who was I to refuse?"

"I need you to help me research the four most powerful beasts."

"Susumu, that's classified information. You know that!"

"And I see that both of our sons are right in the middle of this mess. I know enough of the prophecy to know that not all of the now former Blakebreakers will come out of this unscathed. Bruce, if I get caught you know the last thing I would do is drag you with me."

"Do you still have it?"

"I have not usedit in quite a while, but yes, I do have it."

Bruce looked up at his old friend. Susumu had changed so much since the two of them had last talked. The only thing that Bruce could remember was the determination in his crimson eyes.

"Alright, but if I get caught…"

"Trust me. It will not happen."

A big, big thank you to everyone who reviewed.You guy are really a great inspiration! So this will be my last request for this story: please review!

Like I said there will be a story soon up that takes place after Vforce that will be a sequal to this story. It will say so in the summary. A quick warning is that it will not have Tala in it, but if everything goes to plan the third story will. Kai, Tyson, Hilary and Kenny will be the main characters, so you can tell me yourviews (positive or negative).
