Epilogue
No more then a week later Boris and Voltaire were sentenced to death and hung the next day. The Grangers and Hiwataris were able to breathe again and enjoy life again.
The old teams still got together to play in competitions, but now they had actual jobs and families.

Aaron and Tina got married, and lived in Dublin, they had a 4 year old baby girl, Lily. Tina ran the Dublin BBA branch and Aaron was the head trainer. Both had to deal with being clones and being recognized as someone they weren't, but they were strong.
Pat and Millie were dating but it was hard. Pat was living with Gramps in Tokyo and Millie was living with Megan and Kai in Moscow. Pat worked with his brother as a trainer at the Tokyo Branch and Millie worked with her brother and sister-in-law as a trainer at the Moscow Branch. Tyson, Megan and Hiro were thrilled that their brother found someone like Millie, but Kai was weary that Pat would turn out like Tyson. It was tough on Pat and Millie due to the distance, but since Mille was rich and Pat used Tyson's earnings from competitions, they were able to travel a lot.
"Meg! Get the fruit!" Tala shouts from outside. "I have my hands full!"
"Sure!" Megan yells back. She turns around and stops just in time to avoid running over Elise, Kenny and Heather's 1 year old baby girl. Elise was waddling back and forth like a penguin, trying to walk with out falling over. "Elise..." Megan picks up the girl and holds her on her right hip as Elise giggled. "I almost ran over you, you silly." Megan smiled and walked into the kitchen of her and Kai's home. Today was Dylan, Lily and Matt's 4th birthday. They were all born on the same day and everyone was celebrating today.
Megan grabbed the fruit bowl and expertly balanced it in one hand, while carrying Elise out back, where the party was. The bright, warm July sun beat down on Megan as she walked outside, narrowly dodging the kids, running in front of her. Heather noticed Megan holding her daughter and rushed to take her as Megan set down the fruit bowl.
"Thanks Heth." Megan smiles as the little girl was taken from her.
"Mommy!" A voice calls. Megan smiles, kneeling down as Dylan came running over to his mother.
"What's wrong sweetie?" Megan asks.
"Mommy, Daddy is strangling Uncle Tyson again." Dylan reports. Megan grumbles. "Uncle Tyson started stuffing food down his face and Sean and Uncle Pat started copying him."
"Thanks sweetie, go and find Lily, it's her party too."
"Ok Mommy!" Dylan smiles, as he runs off the find his best friend. Megan grumbles to herself, standing up and following Tyson's moaning to find Pat and Sean, Tyson and Hilary's 3 year old son, Megan's nephew, laughing as Kai gave Tyson a lecture.
"Kai!" Megan says. Kai raises an eyebrow, and turns to her. "Come here!" Megan says impatiently. Kai glares at Tyson one more time and walks over to his wife.
"Meg..." Kai whines, knowing what was coming. He had become so much more open in the past 5 years, ever since Boris and Voltaire died.
"Kai...just because Tyson is an idiot-"
"Oi! I heard that!" Tyson complains. Pat and Sean laugh again.
"Put a sock in it Tyson!" Megan shouts back, giving Tyson a glare. Tyson 'emped' and ran away. "Anyway," Megan says turning back to Kai, taking his face in her hands. "Just cause Ty's an idiot, doesn't mean Pat will turn out the same way. He's a good kid. He's just trying to spend as much time with Tyson as he can, you know, after all that happened." Megan say patiently.
"Millie went through a lot, she's vulnerable." Kai says.
"Millie's stronger then you think Kai." Megan says seriously. "I know your upset that you weren't there when she was little, but she's safe and happy now." As if to make her point, Pat kissed Millie's forehead softly and sweetly and Millie melted against his side. "Besides, I'm also Pat's sister, I'll teach him a thing or 2 if he even thinks about hurting Mil." Megan smiles.
She feels Kai relax under her fingertips and she kisses his forehead, standing on her tip toes to do so. Kai smiles and pulls her into his arms, resting his chin on top of her head.
"I know I'm an over protective big brother, but I can't help it." Kai shrugs. "She's only been in my life for the past 5 years, I don't want her to go through anymore hardships, no matter how small they may be."
"I know that Kai and so does she. Family means everything to us." Megan says. Kai pulls back and kisses Megan's forehead.
"Thanks Meg." Kai mumbles against her lips.
"No problem Kai." Megan smiles, about to kiss him, but a moan distracts her.
"Ewww...daddy. Mommy has cooties!" Dylan moans, scrunching up his face in disgust. Megan smiles and catches her son around the waist pulling him up to her hip.
"Well then, I'll just have to give you cooties!" Megan laughs. She tries to kiss Dylan on the cheek as he tries to squirm out of her arms, unsuccessfully. Megan eventually kisses him and Dylan laughs.
"Mommy gave me cooties!" Dylan giggles. Kai smiles at his wife and son lovingly. They were such a perfect family, except for the fact that he was brother-in-law to Tyson, but he'd deal with it if it meant having Megan by his side for the rest of his life.
Matt, Ray and Sarah's 4 year old son, runs over, wanting to play with his best friend, dragging Lily, Tina and Aaron's 4 year old daughter, with him as well. Megan lets Dylan go and play as she and Kai walk over to the group. She spots Tina and Aaron and smiles. In so many ways, the 2 couples were the same. For one they looked the same, except Aaron had some of Tala's features and personality traits, they had the same jobs, just in 2 different cities and they both had a child that turned 4 today.
It still was a shock sometimes when Tina and Megan were in the same room together, as they looked exactly alike. Tyson and Megan being twins was one thing, but this was a clone. But as soon as Tina got out of the Abbey, she started developing her own personality, so those who were close to both, could tell the difference. But since it was almost the same genetic mixture, Lily and Dylan looked like they could be twins. They both had the mixed eye color of both stormy grey and crimson, showing that they both carried Hiwatari and Granger blood, but Dylan had the navy blue hair of his mother, while Lily had a mix of navy blue and silver hair.
"Seems like forever ago that we had that showdown at the Abbey huh?" Aaron asks smiling.
"Yea, but it was only 5 years ago." Megan sighs, leaning into her husband's side.
"Well, it was a shock to live in the real world those first few years." Tina admits.
"Yea, thank god we had you guys." Aaron says smiling appreciatively.
"No problem." Kai shrugs. "It was nice to have your doppelganger living with you." Kai jokes.
The 2 couples laugh.
"Kai! Meg! Tina! Aaron!" They hear Sarah scream. "You have to see this!" The group heads around the house to see a heated game between the 3 best friends. Dylan definitely had the upper hand, but Lily wasn't far behind, and Matt was holding his own against the stronger opponents.
"Guys, they have some crazy connections with the bit-beasts." Brooklyn says, Elli at his side, holding Brooklyn and her daughter, Isabella's hand, as the little girl stared in awe. In fact, it seemed that all the kids were entranced in the battle, whether they were blading or not. Max and Emily's 3 year old son Cody, 3 year old Sean, Alex and Emma's 2 year old Kyle, 2 year old Isabella, Tala and Julia's 2 year old daughter Luna, and even 1 year olds Elise and Quinn, Johnny and Helen's boy, were watching with awe.
Brooklyn was obviously talking about Lily and Dylan. Poor Matt was barely hanging on at this point and he had the frustrated look on his face that reminded Megan of the way Ray looked when he was trying to figure out something. In one moment, Matt's blade was knocked out of the dish and Dylan and Lily's power increased exponentially.
"Um guys?" Kenny asks. Everyone was in shock at this point.
"Y-Yea Chief?" Max stutters out.
"Remember when Brooklyn and Megan were going at it and I told you guys that you had to stop them?"
"Yea?" Tala asks this time.
"Do it now!" Kenny yells.
Tyson and Kai take out their blades and release them full force at Lily and Dylan's blades. Kai and Tyson hit Dylan and Lily's blades head on respectively, but the kid's blades wouldn't budge one inch.
"What?" Ray yells. "Thats impossible!"
"Help!" Tyson screams, as Dragoon was shoved back. Tyson turned Dragoon around and hit Lily's blade again, but nothing happened. The same thing happened with Kai and Dranzer.
"Meg! Tal!" Kai shouts, gritting his teeth.
Megan and Tala launch Drakima and Wolborg and working in pairs, Megan and Kai took out their son and Tyson and Tala took out Lily.
Dylan and Lily grabbed their blades at the same time, shaking their heads as if coming out of a dream.
"W-What happened?" Dylan was the first to ask.
"You don't know?" Daichi asks. He had matured a lot in the past 5 years.
"I was in this weird place..." Lily mumbles, but everyone's sensitive ears caught it.
"What do you mean sweetie?" Tina asks, kneeling in front of her daughter.
"I was with Dominic in this dark place, and we were talking." Lily explains. Megan had given Dominic to Lily when she was just a baby, saying that since she already had Drakima, she didn't need Dominic and she felt that Dominic was really made for Lily.
"Same thing with Wyvern." Dylan says, as his father put a head on his head. Kai, Megan, Tala, Tina, Aaron, Tyson, Hiro, Pat and Millie's eyes all met over the kids' heads. They were all thinking the same thing. It was the Hiwatari and Granger blood mixing together. Research said that the combo would create the world's most perfect blader...
"Honey, we have to tell you something." Megan says to Dylan, glancing at Lily too.
"What is it Auntie Megan?" Lily asks, looking up at the women who looked exactly like her own mother.
Till now, it was much simpler to say that Tyson, Megan and Tina were triplets to the public and to their children. In a since they were and Aaron was a brother to both Tala and Kai, making the Granger's, Hiwatari's and Valkov's all family. Julia and Megan were ecstatic. Lily had called Hiro, Tyson, Kai, Pat, and Tala, 'Uncle', Dorothy, Hilary, Megan, Millie and Julia, 'Auntie' and Sean, Dylan, and Luna cousin since she was born. Same thing with Luna, Dylan and Sean. But the only ones who were actually blood related to each other, were Dylan and Sean, with their Mother and Father respectively being twins.
"It all started with my Grandfather and his right hand man." Kai says as the group sits down in the living room. "Voltaire and Boris."
And so the children learned of their parent's past.
But not all was calm on the horizon, the children's future was not going to be as pleasant as their parents hoped...
I hope you guys liked it! There will be a sequel posted soon with many, many OC's, lol. It will take place about 10 years or so after the end of this story. I haven't decided how long yet. And it will center mostly around the children and their connection to their parents' past.
