Sandra stared at Ryuga. What was Emma doing with him? She knew she'd see Emma soon but she'd never dreamed of seeing Ryuga.

"What are you doing here, Ryuga?" Gingka asked in a surprised tone.

"Why else would I be here? I heard there was a strong bladder here so I came to see for myself," Ryuga smirked.

"And who'd you hear that from?" Tsubasa asked.

"Emma," Ryuga answered glancing at the girl.

"I'm here to show him," Emma said. She pulled out her launcher and attached her bey to it. "Battle me right now, Sandra!"

Sandra clenched her teeth and fists. "Is that all you think about?" she asked.

"I've been training a long time for this!" Emma said. "Take aim, Sandra! You're going down!"

Sandra grabbed her launcher and attached Leone to it. "You can do it Leone," she murmured so quietly nobody could hear her. "Be strong. I need you now."

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Let it rip!" Emma's bey and Leone collided and bounced back from each other.

"Be careful Leone!" Sandra warned, remembering the power in Emma's bey. Leone began to circle around the space with Emma's bey right behind hers.

"Running won't help you!" Emma smirked. "You may have better stamina but that won't guarantee you the win!"

"Don't you think I know that?" Sandra snapped.

"I know you know that, and I also knew that would agrivate you," Emma said with a smirk.

Sandra growled. "That your old trick. Find any new ones or is that all you got?"

"I found many new tricks but it's not time to use them," Emma answered. "Not yet."

"Fine then! Leone! Force them out of her!" Sandra ordered. Leone circled around Emma's bey and began attacking it.

"You need to do better than that!" Emma said as her bey knocked Leone away as if it were a fly.

Sandra growled. Her friends behind her gasped with shock that Leone had been knocked away so easily. "How did it do that?" Kenta asked.

Madoka began to type on her computer. "I-I don't believe this!" she exclaimed. "Emma's bey is an Earth L-Drago!"

"L-Drago?" Gingka asked.

"There's another one?" Tsubasa asked.

"This one is different from Ryuga's though. It can spin both left and right," Madoka explained. "It's fusion wheel gives it good defense from strong attacking beys like Galaxy Leone."

"Then how is this supposed to work?" Yu asked.

"Looks like your friends are losing hope, so why don't you?" Emma sneered.

"I never lose hope! My friends aren't either! Don't think that for one second!" Sandra shouted. "Nobody's losing hope!"

"You should. There's no way you'll beat me this time!" Emma replied. "L-Drago!" L-Drago charged in and started attacking Leone.

"Its attacks are as strong as its defense!" Madoka observed.

"Sandra! Figure this out like you did before!" Alex shouted, ignoring the other's shocked faces.

Sandra glanced at her and nodded. "I've got it covered!" She turned and looked at Leone. "Lion Gale Force Wall!" The tornado went up but L-Drago wasn't fased by it. "What?! That used to work!"

"Not anymore! I've gotten stronger since then, Sandra!" Emma explained. "Your Lion Gale Force Wall is too weak to fase my L-Drago!"

"Then it's time to try the stronger one!" Sandra decided. "Leone! Work with me! I need it to work this time!" Sandra remembered all the times she had trained with Kyoya when the True Lion Gale Force Wall had failed. She needed it to work now. "Now! True Lion Gale Force Wall!" Leone's tornado began to get stronger and L-Drago began to get pushed away a little bit. Leone didn't seem to be doing so good though. It seemed to have trouble keeping the wind at its peak of strength.

"Leone isn't doing so well! It's not used to using such a strong attack!" Madoka exclaimed. "Sandra! If you keep this up things won't turn out well for Leone!"

Sandra growled and watched Leone struggle. "Leone, I know you can do this! You are my trusted partner and you can do anything! I know you can!"

Suddenly Leone began to gain control of the tornado and the power increased even more and it sent L-Drago flying backward. "She did it!" Kenta exclaimed in happiness. "She pulled the move off!"

"I knew you could do it, Leone!" Sandra said in happiness as the tornado disappeared.

"So you've been training with Kyoya I presume," Emma guessed.

"So what if I have?" Sandra asked.

"No big deal. I'll still win," Emma continued.

"I'm about to prove you wrong!" Sandra declared.

"We'll see!" Emma snapped. "Go, L-Drago!" L-Drago charged toward Leone. "Get ready Sandra! The real battle starts now!"

"Bring it on, Emma!" Sandra shouted. "Leone!" Leone met L-Drago's attack, both equal in strength.

"Go, Sandra!" Alex cheered.

"Don't give her an inch, Leone!" Sandra exclaimed.

"Hold your ground, L-Drago!" Emma ordered.

"What in the world is that?" Yu asked all of a sudden. Sandra looked behind her to see a white glowing portal appear. Not again!

She didn't have anymore time for thoughts before they were all sucked in. When she was inside she saw a lush forest. Her friends were nowhere in sight. The only one beside her was Emma.

"This has to happen when we battle?" Emma asked.

"I guess. Let's just find the others and get out of here," Sandra said.

Emma smiled. "Reminds me of when we were kids when we explored."

Sandra smiled. "Then lets make it like that."

Before I continue to the 3rd chapter I want to say that the friend that Emma is based off of is not like this. Since she's my character's rival though I had to make her this way.
