At the BBA headquarters

It was one of those summer days when it didn't actually feel like summer., The sky was grey and the rain was coming down like there was no tomorrow. The BBA chairman had been held up in his office for hours, trying to figure out what to do about everything that was going on.

He had a tournament to announce but yet it didn't f feel like a good idea, considering the news Hiro had brought him a couple of days ago. He wanted the qualifiers to begin as fast as possible but with that team still out there it could pose a risk for all the young bladers who were definitely going to sign up.

The old man sighed as he stood up from his chair and walked over to his office window, trying to get some answers by gazing at the gray boring sky (being on the tip of desperation he was willing to try anything)

He had to do something. Everyone expected a tournament this year… it had already been put on hold longer than expected. He was not even 100% sure that team would do anything or even show up at an official event.

Has he made his decision he walked over to his desk and pressed the office telephone, the voice of his secretary rang out through the speakers as she answered.

Mr. D what can I do for you? She sounded pretty esthetic over the line (most likely bored out of her mind he guessed)

"I would like to call a…" he paused for a moment thinking it over once more, but still decided to proceed "a press conference tomorrow 12 am sharp" he finished and released the button.

Sitting down in his chair again he taught through his decision several times but still came to the same conclusion "This had to be done"

He powered up his laptop and started on his speech…

The BBA training center

3… 2… 1… LET IT RIP

Tyson launched his new Dragoon MF into one of the sturdier dishes the center had to offer. The new Dragoon had proved to be a master piece of beyblade technology, it was burning up the titanium plates that made up the dish he was practicing in, there is no way he was going to not take his 4th title this year.

Daichi watches his teammate with pure jealousy from the bench. Why had Tyson gotten a brand new dragoon while he had not?

He looked over at Kenny who was sitting next to him recording Tysons stats and improvements.

"Hey chief? Am I getting a new strata?"

Kenny looked up from his computer "don't worry Daichi I'm working on it" he smiled at the redhead who nodded back.

HA! Yeah! Tyson caught his beyblade ending the practice, he walked over to the bench "so chief how much improvement are we talking about" he sat down and took a swig of his water bottle.

"A lot" he exclaimed and turned the screen to the dragon "all your stats have improved immensely, you have at least twice has much speed, force and defense than before and your endurance and balance has increased as well"

"Awesome!" Tyson left the bench and walked over to the dish to do another test go just as doors opened and BBA Revolutions brown-haired coach also know has Hilary Tachibana walked in.

"Hey guys" she greeted the her team and made her way towards the bench

"Hey Hilary" Kenny looked up and Tysons just nodded in her direction.

She looked at Daichi who looked at back at her and smiled.

"Grandma" he said greetingly.

She narrowed her eyes at the redhead "prick" she muttered under her breath as she sat down next to Kenny who proceeded to show her Tysons improvements.

The attention of the champion team was once caught when the doors to their training room opened once more and the former BEGA team stepped in.

"Hey guys!" Tysons yelled and caught his blade quickly making his way over to them. Kenny had also acknowledged of the new team and nodded towards them in a silent greeting slightly blushing as he made eye contact whit the pop star she smiled at him and waved and he felt his cheeks burn like fire, while Hilary cursing because she was once more in the presence of said pop star

As Ming Ming made faces to the now pissed of brunette, Tyson was greeting the others.

So you guys come here to improve? Try to become good enough to beat me? Tyson said jokingly and Garland laughed out loud.

"Yea of course" he chuckled and decided to play along "you are so awesome Tyson we have to train day and night to keep up with you"

Both boys laughed once more and shook hands.

After greetings were over and everyone had unpacked and the BEGA tem and warmed up the training could begin.

Hey! Brooklyn? Tyson yelled at the ginger "you want to blade? He held up his new dragoon.

The smirk on Brooklyn's face told Tyson that it was on! "Oh you are going to regret this" he said and stood from his bench

Tyson nodded towards Kenny to record the battle.

The two boys stood by the dish on each their side ready to go.

Kenny turned his camera towards the dish and hit record, while Garland started the countdown.

3… 2… 1 LET IT RIP! Tyson and Brooklyn yelled as their blades were launched simultaneously in to the dish. Whit a loud bang the two blades made contact in the middle and started circling each other both looking for an opening.

"Let's see how your Zeus holds up against my new Dragoon Metal Phantom" Dragoon left the outer ring of the dish and charged towards the black blade who quickly evaded but was surprised when the white one fast as lighting came back and made a direct hit. Brooklyn's blade was knocked in to the side of the dish and bounced back in to the middle.

You have improved Tyson I must admit, but this battle will be mine to take.

Tyson just smirked back and went in for another attack "We will see about that"

The rest of the BEGA team watches whit excitement from the sidelines has Brooklyn was actually blading in a normal friendly match, a match whiteout anything on the line or any rivalry… at least not a bad one

The match was soon over ending in a tie, which was what everyone expected since they were pretty much equal in all aspects.

After the training session was over a 1 hour and a half later. The teams were just sitting and talking. When Kenny turned on the little TV that was in every training room.

What are watching? Mystel asked has he looked over at the brunette.

"Beyblade news" he exclaimed and sat down again.

The news channel came on and the usual sport reporter DJ Jazzman appeared on the screen he was standing outside the BBA Building with a microphone.

"Hello all beyblade fans I'm DJ Jazzman live outside the BBA Headquarters! The BBA chairman Mr. Dickenson has just called for a pressconferance about upcoming events"

Everyone looked at each other "could it be the World Championships" Ming Ming Looked around at everyone (besides Hilary).

"Yea I think and hope so" Tyson said and smiled. Garland nodded "Must be"

Everyone attention was again caught by the TV when Mr. Dickenson himself appeared on the screen.

"Ladies and Gentleman, considering everything that happened last year and the rebuilding of the new BBA that took a lot of time and money, but I now feel confident that the past is behind us and we can move on, so I have decided to start up the World championship once again… beginning with the qualifiers starting in one month time… Thank you" he smiled at the crowd and started answering questions as the reports went wild...

The TV was shut off has Tyson and Daichi jumped up from the bench and punches their hands in the air "YES! The world championship is finally here"

"So?" Garland looked around at his team

"What" Brooklyn looked confused.

Garland gave him a lame look as Ming Ming just laughed

"The world championships!" he exclaimed loudly "are we signing up?"

"Of course we are" Ming Ming chuckled "we talked about this" the other two nodded and Garland smiled "great then its settled"

"You guys are joining right" Tyson appeared and joined their conversation.

"We are" Brooklyn turned to the blunette.

"Great! But don't expect to win it because I'm taking my fourth title"

"Really" Mystel said and tilted his head "because in don't think so, I think this year we will be the new champions, he looked around his team looking for agreement and getting it.

"Yeah sorry Tyson but this year I will be overthrowing you your title" Garland said with confidence.

"Haha! In your dreams dude" the dragons confidence peeking "nobody is taking me down!"

As the day ended and it getting late the two teams parted and left for their homes. BBA Revolution went back to Tysons Dojo and The Former BEGA team went back to Ming Mings Apartment.

Walking in silence the BEGA team passed through several blocks before the reaching their street when the ginger haired one stopped abruptly.

"Hey guys?" He yelled out to them and they stopped.

"What?" Mystel yelled out slightly annoyed wanting to get inside has it had gotten slightly chilly outside.

"If we are going to join the World Champion ships we need a name…."

Tyson and his team had reached the gates to the dojo when Tyson noticed a note sitting on the wooden door. He looked at it for a long time before he took it off and scanned it mumbling something that sounded like "what the hell" the other three has appeared behind him looking over his shoulder trying to get a better look.

"What does it say" Hilary whispered

Tyson cleared his voice and read out loud "Tyson I need to talk to you right away its extremely important, Meet me at the old warehouse… sincerely Ozuma. PS come alone…

Tyson stared at the note as an eerie silence filled the air.

"What do you think he want" Kenny broke the silence "We haven't seen him in two years"

Kenny was right… he hadn't seen Ozuma in over two years and now he shows up and leaves a note on his door wanting to talk to him… alone? Something was not right… was HE alone? If so where was his team? So many question filled his head at once… he had to know what he wanted.

Tysons dropped the note on the ground and started walking away from the gates…

"Ey! Tyson" where are you going!" Hilary yelled after the dragon as Kenny picked up the note reading once more.

"To the warehouse" he yelled back "to get some answers".

That is it! I wouldn't consider this ending a cliffhanger since those of you who read chapter 3 already knows what Ozuma wants… well anyway review and I will see you next time.
