Chapter 1

Ryan's POV

Blademail&Inbox&Message

To: Ryan Johnson

From: Mr. Dickenson

Subject: (none)

Ah, Mr. Johnson is it? This is Mr. Dickenson from the BBA Headquarters in Tokyo. We would like you and Ms. Konkin to fly over to Japan for confidential reasons. Should you accept, your plane tickets will arrive shortly, free of charge. Please reply with your repsonse immediately so proper arrangements can be made.

Mr. Dickenson

I stared at the screen in surprise. Why would the chairman of the BBA want our team to go to Japan?

I quickly typed up my response.

"We accept."

Jacquie's POV

I happily packed some clothes in my bag. I was going to Japan! Kenny was there! And Tyson was, too, but...

Kenny was there!

"Hurry up, Jacquie!" I heard Ryan shout from downstairs, "I don't have forever! The plane is leaving in a half hour!"

"I should have packed yesterday..." I told myself, finally finishing my packing and taking my bag in my arms. I walked downstairs and found Ryan and my parents waiting for me.

My mom started to cry as she saw me prepare to leave, "You've been home for less than two months and you have to leave again..."

"Aww, Mom, I'll be back home soon!" I promised.

"Just in case you aren't home for Christmas..." my father began, "A little present for you." he held out a box wrapped beautifully in gold paper and tied neatly with a yellow bow.

I held the box in my hands and held my parents in a hug for a few moments, "Thank you!"

"Don't open it yet," my mother warned, "or someone's going on Santa's naughty list this year."

I grinned, "Sure thing."

With one final wave, Ryan and I left for the airport.

Blademail&Inbox&Compose

To: Des, Kenny

From: Jacquie

Subject: I'm Going to Japan!

Hey Des, Kenny! How are you? I found out a while ago that I'M GOING TO JAPAN! I don't know why, though. Ryan got an email from Mr. Dickenson a few days ago and he's sent us plane tickets to go visit the headquarters. Maybe I'll see you there, Kenny?

Des, maybe you and Rei got a call too! I wouldn't know; you havn't emailed me in ages!

This email is going to end up being very short, I'm getting very plane sick now. I'll email again once my head doesn't feel like it's about to explode.

Jacquie

"What are you doing?" Ryan asked sharply. I quickly exited Blademail and shut the laptop.

"Nothing, emailing Destiny." I answered. It was half true! I had found out a few days earlier, when Ryan told me we were going to Japan, that he didn't welcome Kenny. Every time I had mentioned him, he had given me an icy glare.

Wonder why? Am I so naive that I don't know?

"Are you sure?" he asked.

I nodded, "Yes, Ryan. I would be sure that I was emailing Destiny or not!"

He grunted, "Fine."

Bling!

Someone had messaged me on MSN. Stupid me, I forgot to sign out!

"You better answer that." Ryan stated, "Maybe it's Kenny."

I shook my head, "Whatever." I retorted. I opened the laptop and looked at the screen.

Choose Your Destiny says: Hey Jacquie, ya there?

Going to Japan! says: I'm here.

Choose Your Destiny says: Cool. What's up?

Going to Japan! says: I'm heading over to Japan right now! Oh how I love modern technology. I'm guessing you got my email?

Choose Your Destiny says: Yup. I was talking to Kenny just a few minutes ago. He seemed very excited. &grin&

Going to Japan! says: Well Ry doesn't. He'd rather not go to Japan but Mr. Dickenson insisted we go.

Choose Your Destiny says: Wierd... Guess what? Rei and I were supposed to go to Japan to meet up with you guys, but we can't go! You'll get to see Max and Kai though.

Going to Japan! says: Why can't you guys go?

Choose Your Destiny says: After all the schoolwork we've missed (and havn't done yet) from the first tournament, there is no way they're going to excuse us to go to Japan until who knows when. The principal said we might be able to go in amonth or so, if we're lucky.

Going to Japan! says: A month? That sucks.. I guess you can't help it though. Tell you what: I'll fill you in on what you've missed!

Choose Your Destiny says: Great! Anyways Rei is here, we've got to do this stupid Chinese Emperor History diagram due tomorrow. Tell Max and Kai we said hi! Cya!

Going to Japan! says: Bye! I'll email later!

Choose Your Destiny has signed off.

I sighed, "This is going to be one awesome trip."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&am p;&&&&&&&

"Jacquie!" Max waved at me when we got to the BBA Headquarters. He motioned for me to come sit with him, Kai, Tyson and Kenny.

"I'll see you later, Ry." Before he could say a word, I dashed off and ran over to the Bladebreakers.

"Hey, have you seen Des or Rei anywhere?" Max asked, "They were supposed to be here over an hour ago."

"Change of plans," I began to explain, "they couldn't get excused from school so they can't make it for now."

"Typical." Kai retorted, shaking his head.

I shrugged, "Go figure."

"If I could have your attention, please!" came a voice. We all looked up and saw, Mr. Dickenson (A&N: Big surprise!), "You are all here because you've been chosen to participate in a test tournament for Beyblading that we hope to open to the public during the next year or so." he paused, "You are all the top Beybladers in our world of today and we are honoured that you could join us. Unfortunately, even with the absense of Mr. Rei Kon and Ms. Destiny Mannings, we must continue with our plans."

"What plans?" I whispered to Kenny."

"I-I don't know..." he whispered back.

"We will call you in groups of three to come to a special room in this facility." Mr. Dickenson seemed to be having trouble finding the right words, "You will recieve more information then!" he walked away, taking three bladers with him.

"I wonder what this is all about..." I asked myself.

"I wonder if I can go with you guys in there to pick up some information!" Dizzi thought aloud.

After about an hour of patiently waiting, I was called up along with Ryan and Tyson.

Nervously, we followed Mr. Dickenson.

"What do you think this is about, Ry?" I asked him.

He grunted, "Why don't you ask Kenny?"

"Why are you obsessing over Kenny?" I demanded, raising my voice slightly.

He didn't reply.

"Damnit tell-"

Mr. Dickenson interrupted me, "Now, no arguing. Be happy you're here!"

I sighed and gave up.

Mr. Dickenson led us to a windowless room surrounded with Beyblading stadiums of different terrains.

"What is...this?" I stuttered.

"All I ask for you to do is to show your skill in a chosen terrain."

"Alright!" I grined, "I'm up for it!" I stepped to a terrain that I felt most confident in. It was an icy terrain filled with a few tiny igloos.

I grinned and ripped by blade.

I demonstrated a series of complicated turns and spins, not once slipping up on the ice.

"My beyblade was made for the ice. The base was crafted so it wouldn't slip." I smiled, then frowned, "But its weakness is sand."

Mr. Dickenson nodded, "Very well. Jacquie, you may return to the waiting room."

I picked up my blade and walked back.

Hey you guys! The sequel to Solitary Flame is finally here! Thanks to Jacquie who helped me think of a title. Read and Review!
