Chapter One- Two New Members

"Takao! Over here!" yelled Max waving towards the leader of the BBA team.

"Hi Max, hi guys it's been a long time since we meet each other." Grinned Takao happily. Everybody is still their old self. Except that they had grown much taller and mature over the past four years.

Ever since their win in the Beyblade Competition in Russia four years ago, everybody had since gone back to their normal life. But they still keep in touch with each other.

Takao has gone for kendo training under his grandfather. Max went to America to stay with his mother for a while and trained there. Rei went back to China to his hometown and his ex-teammates, the White Tigers. Kai is now living alone ever since his grandfather; Voltaire went missing and is wanted by the police. Now they are back for the new Beyblade Tournament. This time the finals are to be held in Canada.

"Hey, where's Kenny?" asked Takao as he looked around for the small computer nerd and good friend. Kenny was responsible for analyzing and fixing their beyblades during the tournament.

"Huh? I thought he was with you. You two always seem inseparable." Replied Max.

"I received a call from Kenny yesterday. He said that he could not make it this time because his mother wants him to stay at home and study for his exams."

"Mr. Dickinson!" everyone yelled in delight except Kai who only nod his head in greeting. He is still the same old Kai except he is now willing to work as a team.

"So, if Kenny couldn't come, who is going to fix our beys then?" asked Rei worriedly.

"Don't worry. I've arranged for everything. Soon you will meet two new friends when they joined BBA later. They will only be responsible for fixing and analyzing your beys. They won't be in the competition unless there's an emergency." Said Mr. Dickinson.

"Who are they?" asked Max.

"You will meet them soon. Ah, speaking of the Devil! Here they are." He motion for a boy and a girl who were standing behind the four boys to come forward. The girl was trying to smother her yawning.

"Boys, I want you to meet Dave Miyako and Yukisho Kaioh. They are our new team members. Dave is in charge of fixing your beys while Yukisho is your new bey analyst."

Dave is tall and skinny. His brown hair is rumpled, dull black eyes and his face is pasty white. He wears a red sweater and torn brown khakis. He looks like he might faint any moment.

Yukisho is quite tall for girls her age. She has long, shiny reddish-gold hair tied up in a braid that reaches past her knees. Her eye color can't be described because she is wearing sunshades. Her skin is lightly tanned. She is wearing a midriff baring black top with a yellow jacket and black jeans. Boy, her figure is good and well toned!

"Come on, say hi to everybody." Prompted Mr. Dickinson as if they were small kids.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Dave's voice was raspy and lifeless.

"Ni hao. Hen kai xin neng yu jian ni men. Qing duo duo zhi jiao." Yukisho greeted them in Mandarin. Everyone except Rei did not understand her.

"Yukisho, this is Japan not China." Coughed Mr. Dickinson. He sweat dropped. *Anime style*

"Ah! Gomenasai. But I got muddled up. I'm still sleepy. Had only two hours of sleep last night."

"What time did you sleep last night?" asked Max.

"Umm...let me see, chatting, surfing, browsing...Ah, 6.00am."

"Wow, be careful that you don't damage your health with all that lack of sleep." Said Rei. He's so sweet.

"How many languages do you speak?" asked Kai, finally opening his mouth for the first time.

Yukisho turned and really looked at him for the first time. 'Wow, he's so cool. Ooh I love those marks on his face. Luv the two-tone hair. Nice bod too.' "Well, funny you mention it. Let me see one, two, three..." after some time later, she said, "Thirty."

"WHAT? Thirty? That's impossible!" everyone was stunned and stared at her wide eyed. This is one multi lingual genius here.

"Which type of languages?" asked Kai. He looks interested in her for once. Not many people can speak more than three languages including himself of course. Thirty is an amazing feat for a girl her age.

"Let's see. I can speak English, Japanese, Mandarin, French, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, Greek, Indian, Bangladesh, Sri Lankan, Arabic, Malay, Thai, Burmese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Pakistan, Hebrew, Turkish, Hungary, Norwegian, Swedish, Nepal, Mongolian, Korean, Indonesian, and Swahili." She reeled off all the languages at one go without having to change a single breath.

Everyone was shocked and amazed excluding Mr. Dickinson. He had a secret smile on his face as he looked at the bunch of energetic teens.

"What about you, Dave. Do you have any specialty like Yukisho here?" asked Tyson turning towards the zombie-like boy.

"Ah, gomenasai Tyson-kun. I have non except my skill at fixing beyblades and doing research on them." Dave answered politely.

"Look boys, why don't we go and have a small party to celebrate the joining of these two here. How bout that?" suggested Mr. Dickinson.

"Alright! FOOD! Here we go!" yelled Tyson energetically.

Yukisho looked at the boys as they chattered happily with one another. She smiled and there was a soft expression in her eyes. 'It's good to be part of a team again, for awhile.'
