Sandra awoke in the morning and sat up in bed. She let out a large yawn before getting up and heading out of the room, being careful not to wake Kyoya. She saw Alex out in the hall talking to Emma with Ryuga leaning against the wall looking annoyed. Sandra giggled a little before joining the small group. "Are you guys boring Ryuga?" she asked, amused.

"No," Emma answered just as Ryuga answered, "Yes."

Emma shot him a look before turning back to Sandra. "We aren't even talking to him."

"That doesn't mean you're not boring him," Sandra pointed out. "Trust me. I have experience with the same thing happening with Kyoya."

"Yeah really," Alex said. "I still can't believe you fell for him. He's grumpy."

"No he's not. He's just him," Sandra argued.

"Whatever you say, Mrs. Tategami," Alex teased.

Sandra narrowed her eyes. "Really? You're doing this now?"

"Why not?" Alex countered. "I'm supposed to tease you."

Emma took a step back from the two, not getting involved. Sandra just rolled her eyes. "Whatever Alex."

"By the way, do you have that necklace that Kyoya got you?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, it's in my pocket why?" Sandra answered.

"You should show it to Emma," Alex replied with a smile.

"Yeah sure. Come over here Emma," Sandra said as she reached into her pocket. Emma came over and the three girls made a circle. Sandra pulled out the necklace and showed it to Emma, the light reflecting off the shiny, red heart, shaped stone. Emma stared at it smiling.

"Pretty, pretty! Shiny, shiny!" she joked, which made both Sandra and Alex laugh. Emma always knew how to make somebody laugh.

"Yeah, Kyoya got it for me for my birthday," Sandra said, smiling.

"Lucky duck," Emma commented. "I've never gotten anything like that on my birthday. How did he even afford that? That had to be expensive."

"I really don't know, but you don't see Kyoya going around stores and spending money," Sandra answered. "I'm surprised he even went in the store to get me this."

"He wasn't going to but then I asked him if he wanted to get you something nice and that got him in there," Alex replied, an amused smile on her face. "He didn't have an argument then."

Sandra smiled and shook her head. "You just love making him do stuff don't you?"

"You have no idea how amusing it is," Alex answered.

Sandra sighed, feeling a little bad for Kyoya.

"Guys! We've got a problem!" Everyone looked down the hall to see Reji running up to them. Sandra tensed as he stopped in front of them. Ryuga narrowed his eyes. He obviously still didn't trust anyone here.

"What's wrong, Reji?" Emma asked.

"It's those bladers," Reji answered as he caught his breath. "Their making their way here!"

"Say what?" Sandra exclaimed. "They're coming here?"

"Yeah," Reji nodded. "We suspect that they know you're here."

"What do we do?" Alex asked.

"Get everyone up and meet downstairs," Sandra answered. Alex and Emma nodded and headed down the hall with Reji and Ryuga while Sandra ran back to her room. She opened to the door to see Kyoya up staring out the window, as calm as ever. He turned to look at her when she entered the room. By the look on his face, Sandra could tell that he knew something was wrong.

"What happened?" he questioned.

"Our evil selves know we're here and are headed this way. Everyone's meeting downstairs," Sandra explained. Kyoya nodded and followed her out of the room. They got Kenta and Benkei before heading downstairs where everyone was waiting.

"How far are they?" Sandra asked Doji.

"They're in the woods now and heading toward the base at a fast pace," Doji explained. "The front door is locked at the moment, but I don't know how it'll stand up to them. The door is pretty sturdy but with all the bladers they have they could break through pretty easily. If they get in here we're in big trouble."

"Then we'll have to stop them outside," Gingka piped up.

"But wouldn't we just be giving them what they want?" Yu asked.

"They are out to get us after all," Benkei added.

"That's true, but we can't just sit by and do nothing," Tsubasa answered.

"I agree with Gingka and Tsubasa. We have to stop them outside," Kenta agreed.

"I can't ask you to put yourself in danger like this," Doji said. "If you'd rather, I can get a helicopter to take you to a safe location."

"No way!" Emma snapped. "We stay and fight!"

"But then you'll be playing right into their hands," Reji reminded them.

"Who cares? If they want a fight, they've got one," Ryuga growled.

Doji and Reji looked at each other and nodded. "Alright then. Let's go." They then led the group out to the front of the base.
