Sandra walked through the stadium halls heading toward the team room. She was still worried about Kyoya but she tried her best to ignore the feeling and make herself look calm.

"Sandra!" Sandra stopped and turned around to see Alex running up to her.

"Alex? Aren't you supposed to be with Gingka and the other members of Team Gan Gan Galaxy?" Sandra asked.

"Yeah but I wanted to see you before the match started, and to ask how Kyoya was," Alex answered.

"Kyoya's fine," Sandra assured her, though she didn't believe it herself.

"That's good," Alex said.

"Hey, if you want to cheer for Gan Gan Galaxy then you can," Sandra said.

"But I can't. You're my best friend and I can't go against you," Alex argued.

"Yeah you can. What you can't do is root for me and not Tsubasa," Sandra replied. "He is your boyfriend after all. I know that he means a lot to you and that you mean a lot to him."

Alex smiled. "Thanks Sandra." The two friends gave each other a hug. "Good luck."

"Thanks," Sandra replied.

"Sandra!" The two girls let each other go and saw Demure running up to them. "You have to get to the team room now!"

"Why? What's wrong?" Sandra asked.

"Nile is trying to get Kyoya to back out of the battle and Kyoya looks really mad," Demure answered.

Sandra sighed. "When will Nile learn?" she murmured. "I'll see you later Alex." Sandra and Demure ran to the team room. "Demure, just stay out here and let me handle this." Demure nodded as Sandra entered the room to see Kyoya glaring at Nile.

"Come on Kyoya! You can barely stand on your own two feet!" Nile growled, grabbing Kyoya's arm. Kyoya winced and sat down, holding his arm in pain.

"I'm battling and that's that!" Kyoya snapped.

"But Kyoya..." Nile began to protest.

"Nile!" Sandra cut him off. "Can I have a word with you in the hallway?"

Nile reluctantly nodded and followed her out. "What?" he asked.

"You can't make Kyoya back out of this battle," Sandra said.

"Why not?" Nile asked. "Sure last year he did the same thing and he was fine afterward but that doesn't mean it'll turn out the same this year. Can we really let him take that chance?"

"Look Nile, I know what you mean and you know I'm more worried about Kyoya than anyone, but he won't back out of this battle no matter what. He's determined to defeat Gingka, and he knows that Gingka is waiting for him out there. Kyoya's goal is to defeat Gingka no matter what. Let him go," Sandra explained.

"But he's hurt!" Nile protested.

"Nile, I know we're friends now, but I will fight you to let Kyoya go out there and battle, and I don't mean a bey-battle," Sandra threatened. "I will physically fight you."

"What makes you think you could?" Nile questioned.

"Because I used to beat three boys at once on a daily basis," Sandra answered. "Come on, Nile. Please?"

Nile stayed silent for a moment before sighing. "Fine, but if he gets hurt worse than he already is it's on you."

"Deal," Sandra agreed before heading back into the room. Kyoya was sitting on the bench with an angry expression on his face. "Come on, grumpy. Let's go. The sooner we get out there the sooner you get to battle Gingka again."

Kyoya nodded and followed her out, shooting a glare at Nile as he passed him. Nile seemed to be forcing himself to remain calm, and Demure looked relieved that everything was alright now.

Sandra sighed. Well, here we go.

Sorry that I haven't updated this in awhile. I'll try to do better. This was going to include the battle but I felt that you guys deserved an update. I'll try to get the battle typed up soon so that we can get on to the party for whichever team wins.

Please R&R :)
