Sandra followed Emm off the boat and onto the island. Sandra stared at the volcano in the middle for a little bit before following Emma through the trees.

"Any other people here?" Sandra asked as they walked toward the volcano.

"There's a small village butwe aren' going there. They don't like people like us," Emma explained.

"People like us?" Sandra echoed.

"Bladders," Emma said. "They think we'll disturb the volcano."

"Why are we even heading toward the volcano?" Sandra questioned.

"We're meeting someone there. The only other person we know who can help us," Emma replied.

"I'm lost. Who?" Sandra asked.

"It's obvious. Who else do you know that would hang around a volcano?" Emma questioned.

Sandra's eyes widened. "Why him?" she asked.

"You want help, don't you? And you don't want to put your friends in danger. So the only one that leaves is Ryuga," Emma explained.

Sandra sighed. "Fine." They stayed silent the rest of the time until they reached the top of the volcano. Ryuga was staring out at the island, his back turned to them. Emma smiled, ran up, and hugged him.

"Hi, Ryuga!" she exclaimed.

"Emma? What are you doing here?" Ryuga asked. When he saw Sandra he narrowed his eyes and added, "And with her?"

"We need your help," Emma began. "Sandra's evil self has crossed over into this world and Sandra needs all the help she can get, but at the same time she doesn't want to put her friends in danger. I know you don't like helping people but I also know that you don't mind a little danger. Please. Help us?"

Ryuga stared at her for a long moment before nodding. "Fine," he agreed. "Just this once."

"Thank you, Ryuga!" Emma exclaimed. "I promise we won't get in the way of your training."

"Better not. I need to learn more about my bey," Ryuga replied, looking down into the volcano.

"But I thought you already mastered Meteo L-Drago," Emma said.

"I have, but I haven't mastered L-Drago Destructor," Ryuga said, holding up his bey. Sandra and Emma gasped in surprise. It had changed!

"Looks like you weren't the only one to get a new bey, Sandra," Emma commented. "Her bey evolved too," she added when Ryuga opened his mouth to ask a question.

"Emma!" Sandra glared at her childhood friend. "Don't go around telling people! People could want to battle and you know I can't do it right now!"

"True, you haven't really learned anything about your bey, huh?" Emma agreed.

"If I get the chance, I'll practice as much as I can," Sandra promised. "I need to stay at the top of my game."

"Just be careful, alright? You need your strength and you know what will happen while your evil self is here. I'm surprised that you haven't had any pain yet," Emma said.

"I want to stay here for awhile, so you might as well train while you're here," Ryuga cut in.

Sandra nodded. "Right."

"Just don't over-do it," Emma warned, sternly.

"Fine," Sandra agreed. Sandra and Ryuga began to train seperatly and eventually Emma joined.

They trained until dark, when Ryuga suddenly stopped and gazed down the volcano's slope. Emma and Sandra looked at him. "What wrong?" Emma asked.

"Someone's coming up here. Hide!" Ryuga ordered.

Sandra opened her mouth to ask who was coming but Emma shoved her behind a rock before she could. "Stay down!" Emma told her.

Sandra glared at her but didn't say anything. She just sat behind the rock. She listened closely for any voices she might reconize.

"Didn't expect you to be the first one I fought," said a voice. Sandra gasped. Kyoya! What's he doing here?

"If you're looking for a fight, you've got one," Ryuga growled.

"I won't lose to you this time," Kyoya retorted. A short moment of silence followed before he spoke again. "Emma? Where's Sandra? You were with he last time I saw her!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Emma responded. "I've been here with Ryuga the whole time."

"You're lying!" Kyoya snapped. "You were there when I saw Sandra at the warehouse. Where is she?"

"She doesn't have to tell you anything," Ryuga growled. Sandra then heard the sound of him raising his launcher. "Now take aim!"

Sandra then heard the sound of Kyoya raising his launcher. "You can do it, Kyoya pal!" came Benkei's cheer. Of course he's with him.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Let it rip!"

Sandra heard the clash of beys and the ground trembled beneath her. She heard crash after crash, and Kyoya and Ryuga shouting at each other. Sandra felt desperate to know what was happening but she couldn't reveal herself. Covering her ears she tried to block out all the noise but she stopped when she saw L-Drago fall into the volcano. Sandra gasped but then covered her mouth. Did they hear her?

"Now tell me where she is!" Kyoya shouted.

"This battle...isn't over yet!" Ryuga growled as flames eruptted from the volcano and L-Drago appeared once again. Sandra covered her ears again. This is nuts!
