Rating: T
Summary: The rewrite of Smile Empty Soul! Kai is sent to live with a foster family. He's a silent, moody and sometimes hostile teen but once among the Granger and Tate home will he change for the better or will what he experienced in the past rule his future?
Author Note: Here it is folks, the last installment of Pale Stained Darkness. It's been a long road and I'm not going to lie I'm pretty happy this is done so I can move onto other stories, but I'm a bit sad to end this one. This fic was my baby for the longest time, my brain child that I started working on way back in February of last year and to think that only a month from now this fic would have been a year old is mind blowing.
A few stats for you kind people:
148 awesome and kind reviews
59,218 words (the longest story I have written word wise)
25 Chapters (longest story I have written Chapter wise)
12,026 Hits to the story
51 Alerts
51 Favs
2 words left to say: Simply Amazing
I can honestly say (and I know you guys are probably tired of reading this but oh well) that if the demand wasn't so high for me to continue this story I probably would have given up on it. I am a firm believer that out of all the fandom's I've dabbled in, the Beyblade one is my home, people are very supportive and just simply the best.
Thanks again to those who have stuck with this storey from the beginning and those who joined somewhere between then and now!
Disclaimer: I do not own Beyblade, V-Force, or G-Revolution or any of its characters/settings or ideas. This is a strictly fan made thing and no money is being made from its writing. Pure enjoyment is all I ask and maybe a few reviews.

Hey people, Ray Kon here; updating the web blog!
Man, Las Vegas is a nice place but very bright! Today was our third day of Preliminary and while the main team the Tokyo Unbendables have already secured their spots from their win last year we junior team had to compete today. Garland, myself and Kai placed well in the team form section, taking one of the higher placements. Garland placed second in 'Power Moves' while Kai took first in the freestyle. I myself took second in the weapons freestyle, bringing our team to the second place overall for today's session. Not such a bad thing considering the jet lag and Garland's mild case of food poisoning!
It was a good day overall and we managed to get back to the hotel and clean up a bit before being invited down to dinner with the rest of the team. Then of course we had to go out and perform some moves for the growing fan base.
Then the police came.
Well I should be off now, since our day starts early with training and then the competition.
Later all!

Place: Extreme Martial Arts World Championships – Las Vegas, Nevada, USA- Hotel baby!
Speak your Mind:
Ha, ha, ha ha, I have a pretty medal and you worthless punks don't!
So, Garland here, typing rapidly on Ray's laptop. Tokyo Unbendables Junior team won the team form section, of course with my superior moves how could we have lost? We did a nice job, showed off our ass kicking moves and jumped ahead of the other teams. Not bad for our first time out. Honestly though we worked hard to get here and I think we deserved it.
Hell, I worked through Food Poisoning and still managed to cream the asses of every team.
There should be a song about me damn it!
Yeah, yeah I know I'm a bit too proud and I'm sure I'll get scolded for poor sportsmanship by Kai when he reads this, but honestly, I don't really care! ( happy face) Oh and to any of those pretty girls who were screaming outside the stadium that are reading this, you can keep screaming because I didn't understand a word you said!
So, there is the update, thought I would share with the wide world.
Whoo! I got a pretty medal and I'm never taking it off!!!

This is Kai typing. I was basically ordered by a very intoxicated Ray (whoever gave him alcohol should be shot) to update this page with the good news. The Tokyo Unbendables Junior team took the competition by storm and won overall performance. We were given a massive trophy for our win and had a billion pictures taken before we were allowed to return to our hotel. Once back the celebration began in earnest, leaving both Garland and Kai basically incapacitated on the hotel floor. (makes sweat drop face) Little do they realize we have an eight am flight back home!
I can honestly say that I never expected to get this far, having gone through everything last year with Voltaire and then becoming the heir to his entire business, this was the last thing I ever expected. Only a few short months before I was just another runaway, now I'm the owner of a multi-million dollar corporation, member of an ass kicking Extreme Martial Arts team and the new winner of the World Championships.
I only have a few words for those people who say it's not possible for a street kid to change and become something great.
Eat my dust
Without the friendship of everyone back home, the support of Judy, Bruce and Grampa-G, the guidance of Mr. Dickinson and my business advisors I don't think I could have made it this far. Due to all you people I pulled myself up and out of the shadow of what I was and into the spotlight of who I am.
I think I've had a bit too much to drink myself, I'm getting mushy.
Eternally grateful
~~Kai

Where are they now 12 years later:
Bruce Granger and Judy Tate: Married and continued to take on the hard luck cases. They live happily together in Bruce's childhood home, besides Max and Tyson they have had 2 more biological children. The children are now elementary school.
Grampa-G: Still alive and kicking, although he has retired from teaching Kendo the elder Granger continues to talk like he's a cool old cat and attends every Martial Arts match his former students partake in.
Tala: Tala went onto college and became an engineer and got a job working for a big company in the United States. He currently lives in California with his wife and two children but returns to his home every year. He also tracked down his real family in Russia but decided against having full contact with them.
Tyson and Max: Do everything together. The boys currently attend college and hope to open their own business soon. Not really sure what exactly, but they'll think of something.
Ray: Continued his career with the Tokyo Unbendables until a injury kept him from competing. Now he teaches classes out of the Granger Dojo and lives in a nearby apartment. Ray travelled to China to seek out his own family but was unable to find any traces. He cut his losses and has now turned his focus onto starting his own family.
Garland: Also continued his career with the team and is still with them as a senior member of the main team. On his days off Garland can be found coaching the next generation and competing in charity matches. He has yet to settle down, choosing instead to travel.
Kai: Remained with the team until after graduation from Law School. After his graduation he took over some of the responsibilities of the company left to him by Voltaire while his main focus was on Child welfare. Kai took over Mr. Dickinson's position after the mans retirement. Currently he lives in Japan but travels with Garland.
