Sandra paced outside the Dungeon Gym the next day waiting for Mcgee to call. Blaze, Shori, Samara, Leo, Gigi, Amber, Rex and Jade watched her and talked amongst themselves. Sandra had been trying to shake her uneasy feeling all morning but she just couldn't. Hurry up, Mcgee!

"How could Sandra be in two places at once?" she heard Amber asking.

"I don't know, but that's what Mcgee said," Leo answered.

"Something's not right," Gigi piped up. "I just don't know what."

"Plus my dad was fine yesterday. How could he die overnight?" Leo asked. Nobody answered because nobody had an answer. Samara stared at Sandra, a knowing look in her eyes. Sandra didn't meet her gaze, knowing what she would see. Come on, Mcgee!

As if on cue, her phone rang. Sandra quickly picked it up, knowing it was Mcgee. "What'd Ducky find?" she asked.

"Ducky and Abby found poison in Leo's father's system," Mcgee answered. "It makes sense since we found an empty bottle of poison in his hand when we moved the body. We've ruled it as suicide."

"That makes sense," Sandra said, though she didn't believe it herself.

"Is everything alright, Sandra?" Mcgee asked. "You seem a little on edge lately."

"Everything's fine Mcgee," Sandra lied. "Listen I've got to go."

"Alright, bye," Mcgee replied and they both hung up. Sorry Mcgee.

"What happened?" Amber asked.

"They found poison in Leo's dad's system. They also found an empty bottle of poison in his hand when they moved the body. Mcgee said they ruled it as a suicide," Sandra explained.

Leo looked down at the ground and said nothing. Gigi put her hand on his shoulder. "I' so sorry, Leo," she said.

Sandra clenched her teeth and fists and growled slightly. That was not suicide! She pulled up her phone and called Emma. It wasn't long before her rival picked up. "Hey Sandra. I haven't heard from you in awhile."

"I think our problem just got a whole lot bigger," Sandra said.

"How so?" Emma asked.

"Kyoya's father was found dead this morning. I apparently went to visit him an hour after I really visited him but I was over here at the Dugeon Gym. It's been ruled as suicide because they found a bottle of poison in his hand but I don't believe it. Apparently someone had hired Kyoya's father to kill his mother and I think the same person hired my evil self to kill his dad," Sandra explained, quietly, hoping the others wouldn't hear her.

"That is bad," Emma said. "You should probably get away from there as soon as possible."

Sandra nodded as a thought crossed her mind. "Emma, has my evil self escaped the other dimension anytime in the past?"

"No, she hasn't," Emma answered. "My bey reacts whenever the portal opens. If it opened, I would've known."

"Alright, I've got to go. I'll call you if anything else comes up," Sandra promised before hanging up her phone. She looked at her friends to see them staring at her. They heard me!

"Sandra, what's going on?" Leo asked.

Sandra sighed. "I don't think Leo's father committed suicide. He was murdered."

"Why do you think that?" Gigi asked.

"Leo's father promised to tell us who hired him to kill Leo's mother. Plus what Mcgee said, that I came back to visit Leo's father later. It wasn't me but my evil self from another world," Sandra explained.

"Evil self?" Amber echoed.

Sandra nodded. "Whenever my rival, Emma, and I battle a portal opens sometimes. That portal is the gate to another dimension where people who are good in our world are bad over there and vise versa. My evil self has crossed over to this world. I've been, along with some friends, have been trying to find her and send her back. But it's hard because two Sandra's can't exist in the same world." Sandra locked eyes with Leo before continuing. "I believe my evil self was hired to kill your father by whoever hired your father to kill your mother. Whoever that person was, they didn't want to be found out."

Everyone stayed silent. Gigi, Amber and Rex exchanged glances and nodded. "We want to help," Gigi said.

Sandra stared at them in surprise. "But this is my fight. You guys don't have to get involved."

"We know, but we also know that you're going to need all the help you can get. We aren't going to stand by while a friend's in danger," Amber explained.

"Right," Rex agreed, nodding.

"Thanks, that means a lot," Sandra said, smiling, but it quickly faded and she looked at Leo. "Leo, I think it's best if you came too. Since it looks like your family is the one being targeted, you might be their next target," she explained.

Leo nodded. "I understand. I would've come anyway." He then looked down at the ground.

Gigi put a hand on his shoulder, reassuringly. "It'll be ok, Leo. It seems bad now, but it'll get better."

"You say that as if it's happened to you before," Blaze commented.

"It has," Gigi said. "I lost my sister, Stacy, about two years ago."

"What happened?" Jade asked, shyly.

"She had an accident on a snowy mountain two years ago in Japan," Gigi answered, a little grief showing in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry," Sandra said. She wouldn't want to lose her brother. If she lost Matt she didn't know what she'd do.

"Don't be," Gigi replied. "Stacy's death was her own fault."

"How so?" Sandra asked.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Gigi countered. "You guys could be here awhile."

"I've got time," Sandra said.

"Well, Stacy wasn't exactly the nicest person," Gigi began. "She came from Las Vegas and at first I was happy to see her, but that changed after the horrible things she did. Stacy was obsessed with Kyoya and wanted to be with him, but she couldn't because Kyoya was my boyfriend. Then Leo fell ill with a sickness that threatened his life. He needed a blood transplant and Stacy was a match for him. She tried to blackmail me by saying she'd let Leo die unless I broke up with Kyoya and ended my friendship with Amber and her boyfriend Riku. Knowing that they had found another blood donor in Australia I told her to go back to Las Vegas. But then we found out that the other blood donor died in a car accident. I wasn't willing to let Leo die, so I went back to Stacy and took her deal. Stacy donated blood to Leo and he made a full recovery. Since I made a deal with her, I did what she told me and made Kyoya, Leo, Amber and Riku believe I wanted nothing to do with them. I let them believe that for a whole year. I could only watch as Stacy tricked Kyoya into falling in love with her, and as Stacy became close friends with Leo, Amber and Riku. Then my mother came to Japan for a visit and she discovered what Stacy had done. She was going to tell Kyoya, but she suffered a stroke that rendered her speechless for some time. Stacy then took her to a cabin on a snowy mountain and held her hostage. Around that time, I finally had decided to tell Kyoya, Leo, Amber and Riku the truth, but before I could, Stacy pulled a gun on me and took me to the cabin as well. Stacy intended to kill both me and my mother. However, during a bey battle between myself and Stacy my bey, Mew, knocked over a lantern and set the cabin on fire. Both me an my mother were rescued by Kyoya, Leo, Amber and Riku. When we were crossing a frozen lake we saw that Stacy had escaped and was crossing too, but the ice broke beneath her and she fell into the freezing water. Kyoya dived in and tried to save her, but after awhile he didn't come up. Riku then dived in to search for both Kyoya and Stacy, but he didn't come up after awhile either, so Amber called the fire department and the hospital like Riku had told her to before he dove into the water. If she hadn't we would've lost three people that night. Firemen, rescue searchers and the ambulance soon arrived and found both Kyoya and Riku, who were both frozen and felt like solid steel. We all went to the hospital and were happy to hear that Kyoya and Riku were going to be ok, but Stacy wasn't so lucky. They had never found her and the cops pronounced her dead after a twenty-four hour search. The only thing they found was Stacy's bey, Nibiru, which they gave to me. Ever since then I've always used my older sister's bey in battle. I feel close to her when I battle with her bey. It's as if she's still here and nothing ever happened between us."

"Wow," was all Sandra could say. Knowing that Gigi went through all that and ended up losing her sister in the end was awful. Even though Stacy had done all those awful things to Gigi, Sandra knew that Gigi still cared for her sister, and was sad when she died. Sandra really felt for her. "Can...Can I see Nibiru?"

Gigi nodded, pulling out her bey and showing it to Sandra. It was red and looked just like Benkei's Dark Bull. Sandra nodded. "Looks pretty strong," she commented.

"It is," Gigi replied putting her bey away.

"What's going on over here?" A boy came up to the group and Amber smiled.

"Riku!" Amber exclaimed as she gave him a hug. Riku had long, shaggy silver hair and blue eyes. He wore a black, zip-up, sleeveless shirt under and white, yellow trim vest with one blue line going around the waist, baggy jeans, a black belt, white shoes with yellow laces and silver trim, and one faint grey, fingerless glove on his left hand that covered his wrist.

"Nice to see you again, Leo," Riku said after Amber introduced him to everyone.

Leo smiled and nodded. "Same to you."

Amber then told Riku everything that was going on. "You'll help too, right Riku? Please!" Amber begged.

"Sure," Riku agreed. His cell phone then started to ring. He took one look at it and his face became serious. "Excuse me for a moment. I have to take this." Riku stepped away from the group and answered it. Amber watched him, her smile gone.

"What's wrong Amber?" Blaze asked.

"He's been taking a lot of private calls recently and he won't tell me what they're about. I'm a little worried," Amber confessed.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Leo assured her.

"Yeah, you're probably right," Amber agreed.

"So, when are we leaving?" Rex asked.

"Tomorrow," Sandra answered. She planned to go find Leonora and see how she was doing. Sandra could just hope everything was alright and nothing bad had happened.

Finally got this done! It seemed like it took me forever to write this! It's the longest chapter in this story so far. I hope you guys liked it. :)
