Chapter 1: The Invitation

Ryo Hagane is sitting in his office at his computer and hears: 'You have mail.'

"Hmm?" Ryo opened the message and began reading. "Hikaru."

The young girl came behind her employer, "Yes, sir?" She asked.

"Please contact my son, the other members of Gan Gan Galaxy and Kyoya and Benkei, if you can."

"Yes, sir." Hikaru lightly bowed and went off out of the room.

"The boys will be excited about this." Ryo grinned at the email.

Later that day

"You got an email from the BBA?" Gingka asked his father.

"Yes." Ryo answered. "It seems the BBA Federation had their own World Tournament under progress WHILE the we were holding ours."

"So what does that have to do with us?" Kyoya asked.

"Since Gan Gan Galaxy were the victors in our world tournament, they have been invited to the BBA's world tournament." Ryo answered.

"Why are we here then?" Benkei asked.

"I called Mr. Dickenson and requested for you and Kyoya to also join since you are in fact a team that was in our tournament and are a team of our home town." Ryo replied. "And I also know that you would not be happy with me if I did not allow you to go."

"Whatever." Kyoya looked away from Ryo and everyone laughed at him.

"So how is their tournament held exactly?" Tsubasa asked.

"It is a tournament between multiple teams of two, except they do not battle two-on-two at the same time, the two Bladers from each team take turns battling." Hikaru answered.

"That's just weird." Yu said.

"Totally." Masamune spoke up.

"So who shall team up with who?" Ryo asked Gan Gan Galaxy.

"Me and Tsubasa, definitely!" Yu answered loudly.

Tsubasa chuckled and said: "I'm ok with that."

"I guess that just leaves me and you, huh Masamune?" Gingka looked at his teammate.

"Oh yeah!" Masamune punched his fist up in the air.

"First, you have to know that you cannot just jump into the finals" Ryo started, "you have to join in on the Pre-Lims then make your way to the Finals."

"Even though we're the champions of the world!?" Gingka asked.

"I decided that factor, not the BBA." Ryo answered.

"But, why?" Masamune asked.

"Because it's the right thing to do." Ryo replied.

"But they were allowed to come into Battle Bladers without getting 50,000 Bey Points first." Tsubasa stepped up.

"Actually", Yu began, "Doji had them battle four Bladers from the Dark Nebula and had them replaced when the Blade Breakers won."

"Oh." Tsubasa, the rest of Gan Gan Galaxy, and Benkei and Kyoya said.

"Well let's go ahead and get you all plane tickets so we can send you on your way!" Hikaru smiled.
