Sandra walked down the sidewalk, glancing around. Like she thought, she had been fine in the morning. Rydel had told her that she would be stay in China and call her if anything came up. So Sandra had headed back to Metal City in Japan, wondering what she should do next.

"Hey!" Sandra blinked and turned to see two girls, one shorter than the other, running toward her. The taller one had milky white skin, black hair with streaks of purple and purple eyes. She wore black combat boots, a black leather jacket with a purple X on the back, a light purple t-shirt with the word star on it and black jeans. The shorter girl had fair skin, large green eyes, and X shaped scar on her cheek and brown hair that stopped at her mid-back. She wore white skinny jeans, a panda hoodie with ears, and black and white running shoes. Sandra blinked. Do I know them?

"Do you know Gingka Hagane?" the taller girl asked.

"Yeah, why?" Sandra asked.

"Where is he? I want to battle him," the taller girls replied.

"Me too!" the shorter girl piped up.

"Sorry, but Gingka and the others aren't around right now," Sandra answered, shaking her head.

"Darn! He's never around when you want him to be," the taller girl growled in frustration. She then looked at Sandra. "Wait, aren't you Sandra?"

"Yeah," Sandra answered.

"Since Gingka isn't here, why don't you battle me?" the taller girl suggested.

Sandra thought for a moment. I might get really tired if I battle, but I can't just turn down her challenge can I? Sandra nodded. "Ok, I'll battle you."

"Awesome! I'm Blaze by that way. I'm Gingka's cousin," the taller girl said.

"And my name is Shori Isamu," the shorter girl introduced herself.

Sandra smiled. "It's nice to meet both of you. Let's go to the B-Pit and have that battle, shall we?" Blaze and Shori both nodded and followed Sandra to the B-Pit. They picked a stadium and Sandra and Blaze aimed their launchers.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Let it rip!"

Both beys circled the stadium. Blaze was the first to make a move. "Go Shadow Cat! Send her flying!" Shadow Cat collided with Leonora, knocking Leonora backward.

"Whoa! Sweet attack!" Sandra commented. Her bey is really strong.

"Thanks! Not get ready for another one!" Blaze said as her bey charged at Leone again.

"Not this time! True Lion Gale Force Wall!" Sandra ordered. The tornado appeared, protecting Leone from Shadow Cat's attack.

"That won't protect you!" Blaze exclaimed.

"What?!" Sandra gasped.

"Do it now, Shadow Cat! Shadow Claw!" Blaze commanded. A black and purple cat appeared charging at Leone with claws engulfed in shadows. The cat used its claws to break through the wind and crash into Leone. Leone wobbled a little before regaining its balance.

Sandra gritted her teeth in frustration. She's good. "Try this then! Smash Mode!" Leone's fusion wheel shifted and it charged at Shadow Cat, sending it flying backward.

"That was awesome!" Blaze exclaimed. "But you'll have to do better than that if you want to beat me!" Her bey charged in again and used its Shadow Claw attack to send Leone flying into the air.

"That's it! Go Blaze! You've got her!" Shori cheered.

"This battle's mine! Special Move! Lunar Claw!" Blaze shouted. The cat's claws began to glow as it leaped up toward Leone.

"I will not lose!" Sandra exclaimed. "Special Move! Crushing Tornado!" The tornado enveloped Leone and the two special moves collided, seeming evenly matched.

"Do it!" Blaze exclaimed.

"Don't give in, Leone! I know you can do this!" Sandra shouted. Leone roared and glowed with power, pushing Shadow Cat until it crashed into the stadium floor, defeated. Sandra caught Leone, feeling her exhaustion return.

"It sucks that I lost, but that was awesome!" Blaze exclaimed. "That battle was fun!"

"Will you battle me next?" Shori asked.

"Yeah, just give me a minute to rest," Sandra rasped, finding a chair and sitting down.

"Are you alright?" Shori asked.

"I've never seen someone get so tired from a bey battle before," Blaze added.

"Normally, I wouldn't but..." Sandra trailed off.

"But what?" Blaze asked.

"It's a long story," Sandra answered.

"We've got time," Shori said.

Sandra sighed and reluctantly told them what was going on and how her evil self being in their world affected her. When she was finished, Blaze and Shori exchanged looks and nodded.

"We'll help you," Shori said.

Sandra stared at them in surprise. "Really? But you barely know me!"

"Any friend of Gingka's is a friend of ours!" Blaze said.

"Besides, we love helping people," Shori added.

Sandra smiled. "Thanks you Blaze, Shori."

Hey guys. Just a quick note.

I just got back from vacation so if you were wondering why I haven't been updating lately that's why.

Also my Internet has been acting up lately. Sometimes I'll type a document and then I'll try and save it and the Internet will go out on me so I might not update as often as usual.

Also I will be using the OC I got from Dequincy. Thanks for submitting one and anyone who has one don't hesitate to put it in the reviews. I would be glad to use your OC if I can and if you want me to.

That's all for now guys. Please R&R and I'll try to update soon! :)
