Sandra stood with Blaze and Shori as Leo and Samara got ready to battle. Sandra was wondering who she should root for considering Leo and Samara were her friends. How was she supposed to choose between them?

Sandra glanced at Shori to see her still glaring at Masemune. Masemune returned the glare but it wasn't as intense as Shori's. Sandra turned her gaze back to Leo, not wanting to see Shori and Masemune's stare down.

"Let's do this, Leo!" Samara said with a smile.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Let it rip!"

Both beys circled around the stadium. Leo's bey was an amber color, but Sandra couldn't tell what bey it was. The bey's shape was similar to Kyoya's bey. Sandra looked at Samara's bey and could tell that it was an attacking bey. She recognized the face bolt and energy ring as a Striker but she couldn't tell what the fusion wheel was.

"Go now, Striker!" Samara ordered. Her bey charged at Leo's bey.

"Head's up, Simba!" Leo exclaimed as his bey dodged out of the way. Simba then circled around and clashed with Striker.

"If it's a head-on clash, Striker is unmatched!" Samara shouted as her Striker knocked Simba away. "Go again, Striker!" Striker went in for another attack, but Leo just smiled.

"Have it your way! Simba! Lion Gale Force Wall!" he commanded. The tornado came up and sent Striker flying.

"No! Striker!" Samara exclaimed. Striker looked as if it might land out of the stadium, but lucky for Samara, Striker landed right on the edge of the stadium. Samara sighed with relief. "That was way too close for comfort."

"You won't be so lucky next time! Simba!" Leo shouted. Simba charged at Striker, pushing it back toward the edge.

"Hang in there Striker! You can do it!" Samara said. She growled when Simba continued to push Striker back. "You're pretty good, Leo."

"I have to be if I'm going to surpass my brother," Leo replied.

"Surpass your brother?" Zeo echoed.

Leo nodded. "That's right. Kyoya is really strong. He's known as the King of Beasts with his partner Leone by his side. That makes me the Prince of Beasts. Lions fight for the title of king with other lions until one is proven stronger. If I beat Kyoya I'll prove myself worthy of the title King of Beasts. That's why I've been training long and hard, to become the strongest. I'll be able to live up to Kyoya's example."

Sandra watched Leo, taking in every word. Leo...

"That's all great Leo, but I'm not about to throw in the towel!" Samara said. "You want to win this battle? Then come at me with everything you've got!"

"You got it! Simba!" Leo shouted as his bey began to spin faster. "Special Move! Roar of the Prince!" The move looked just like Kyoya's old special move King Lion Tearing Blast.

"I will not allow myself to lose my first battle at this gym! Striker! Special Move! Sword of the Storms!" Samara ordered. Her bey glowed with aqua green energy as it charged right into the tornados.

"Go Samara! Go Leo!" Sandra cheered, not sure who to root for.

"Keep going, Samara!" Toby shouted. "You can do it!"

"Don't give up!" Masemune added.

"Striker!" Samara shouted.

"Simba!" Leo exclaimed.

An explosion shook the gym and both beys were sent flying out of the stadium, landing at their bladers feet.

"It's a tie?" King said in shock.

"Both bladers gave it their all, and that's what's most important," Blaze said with a smile.

"That was a great battle. Thanks for accepting my challenge," Leo said to Samara. "We should battle again sometime, but I'm going to win!"

Samara smiled as she picked up her bey, which Sandra could now identify as Storm Striker. "You're on, Leo!" Samara agreed.

"Now that that's done," Shori said, turning to Masemune. "Masemune! You're going down!"

"Bring it on, Little Girl!" Masemune taunted.

"You'll regret that!" Shori growled as she took Leo's place and aimed her launcher.

Masemune took Samara's place and aimed his launcher. "You're going to fall to my new Blitz Striker!"

Sandra blinked. Blitz Striker? She looked at Masemune's bey. Did his bey evolve too? Sandra's didn't have time for anymore thoughts before Shori and Masemune began counting down.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Let it rip!"

Ok guys, quick note.

zzaa3-I will use the OC you put in the reviews but I still don't know about the one you PM me. It's not yet decided but I'll see.

Dequincy-Thank you for all those ideas. They are amazing and I love them.

Also, some chapters coming up might turn into crossovers, just a fair warning, but this story will not become a crossover story. It's only going to be for one maybe two chapters and then it will go back to focusing on the Beyblade Metal Fight Gang and all the OCs.

Thanks for reading guys. Please R&R and I'll try to update soon. :)
