Rumors have spread fast about Hinote Kampū and Sandra Wilde. The two of them are both close friends and strong rivals. But they denied of having any romantic relationships between them. The only relationship that they both have is a pair of siblings' bond between the two. Despite that, many people have seen the spark between Sandra and Kyoya when they both hugged each other.
They both decided to travel together and did some sightseeing across the world. But they kept up with the Beyblade World Tournaments and kept a keen eye on Team Wild Fang and Team Gan Gan Galaxy on the TV and on their phones. Hinote and Sandra has been invited to go to Battle Island and battle other Bladers, much like what the Survival Battle. They both came to the front deck of the ship and looked at the horizon curiously together. Hinote was quietly polishing the pieces of his beyblade while Sandra was gazing calmly at the horizon.
She took out her beyblade with a warm, proud smile. "Looks like we're finally here. Right, Byakko?" Her beyblade gleamed up at her and Sandra smiled at her partner.

Sandra walked out of the shadowed path that had a rocky archway over the entrance that leads to the clearing on top of the mountain. She was in a tournament battle that's known as the Tournament of Heroes that was found by the Roman Warriors of the Sun over a thousand years ago. She looked down and looked at the lush island below her. The island marched all the way up to the water, which glittered about a mile in the distance. Between here and there, Jenna simply couldn't process everything she was seeing. The island was dotted with buildings that looked like ancient Roman architecture that probably has stadiums, their marble columns gleaming in the faint firelight that reminded Sandra of fireflies in the depths of the forest.
She soon had back towards the mountaintop and found a large, spacious area that looks like a stadium with some seats that reminded her of the ones in the Bey Arenas surrounding the area from a distance. But there's a few Roman statues surrounding the stadiums in a fair distance. Sandra could another archway that comes from the light. She sat down in the shadow of the statue of a lioness and started polishing her beyblade with her white cleaning rag with a smile.
Sandra looked up to see a familiar boy on the other side of the stadium after she was done polishing her partner and chuckled softly as she slipped her beyblade into her pocket as she looked back at the new arrivals. But Sandra recognized him immediately; the person was Hinote Kampū. She greeted him with a nod, in which he returned in.
"The Tournament of Heroes has come to this! Out of all the many, many participants, two Bladers have actually made it to the summit, at this, the final battle!" Japan DJ announced from an helicopter and the duo flinched back as the spotlights blindsided them slightly. "The first Blader, who got past all the checkpoints and made it to the peak first in with the strength of the dragon, the Beautiful Dragon is... Hinote Kampū!" He seemed determined in the spotlight. "And his opponent is none other than... the adventurous and yet the mysterious Blader, Sandra Wilde!" She uncovered her face from the lights and eyed the area warily. As the audience filled the steps to watch the battle, the two Bladers did a small talk with each other from across the stadium.
"Three!" Sandra's eyes shone bright blue. "Two!" Hinote looked ready for the battle. "One! Let it rip!" Sandra released her bey into the stadium in a stormy blue light and Hinote released his bey in a pale wintry blue.
"Wow! Right off the bat, these two bladers charge at each other head-on with no hesitation!" The DJ commentated.
"Hmm." Sandra bowed her head slightly as her hair blew around from the wind. "Show no fear partner!" She held her hand out in front of her. "Byakko!" Byakko accelerated its speed and started attacking the Drago bey swiftly. Hinote hummed thoughtfully, but he didn't fell into her taunts. He was more focused on the battle than taunting his opponent.
She waved her right arm in front of her as she recalled Byakko. Her bey stopped attacking Drago and came back to spin at the edge of the bey stadium in front of her.
Sandra felt her bey spirit ignite deep inside of her and knew she was glowing along with her beyblade. "Go, Byakko! Attack Drago with all of our might!" The beautiful white tigress beast rose up from the bey and stood tall as it stared down Hinote with its fierce blue eyes. "Special Move: Roar of the Storm!"
That's when Byakko had roared up to the clouds, causing a thunderstorm to come pouring down on them. Byakko then charged straight for Drago at full speed and crashed it into the side of the stadium with a massive explosion that shook the entire arena. The Chinese Dragon beast of Drago rose from its bey and roared at Byakko, but it wasn't quick enough. The giant white tigress hit Drago again and pinned the dragon to the side of the stadium with its claws and teeth.
Hinote's eyes widened with surprise when the tigress pinned the huge blue-white dragon to the side of the stadium and repeatedly clawed at Drago's face. Not many people managed to pin down the mighty dragon before.
With one hit after the other, Drago roared in pain and slammed into the stadium repeatedly. Hinote clenched his fists, clearly frustrated. "Drago!"
The magnificent blue dragon roared and created a fire tornado that blew Byakko back. Drago rose and flew into the air and shot electric wind at Byakko.
"Ah! Byakko! Go!" Sandra yelled and shielded her face with her forearm. Byakko almost got hit by Drago again, but quickly outran and dodged the others.
Hinote smirked playfully at her. "What? Can't take the heat?"
She laughed then. "You, you think I can't take the heat?" Jenna smirked. "Wildcats are known to live in all different kinds of climates. So, a little fire doesn't scare me. Byakko!" She flashed a knowing smile at Hinote and felt a little victorious when his own grin was wiped off his face. Byakko stopped running from Drago's lightning and stood its ground at the bottom of the stadium. Drago aimed another fire blast at Byakko and hit the Tigress bey, but to no effect. Byakko took the hit and kept spinning, unfazed.
"What?!" Hinote's eyes widened. To say he was surprised was an understatement. He watched the way the girl glowed and saw how her bey responded. Fending off his attacks took strength and while this girl had power, she was an equal match for him. "Drago!" The dragon continued spewing fire at the Byakko bey.
"Ahhhhh!" Sandra yelled and stood her ground. "Stand your ground Byakko! Don't be afraid of Drago! Go!"
The giant white tigress hit Drago again and pinned the dragon to the side of the stadium with its claws and teeth. He watched the way the girl glowed and saw how her bey responded. Fending off his attacks took strength and while this girl had power, she was an equal match for him.
"Special move: Raging Whirlwind Slash!!!" shouted Hinote.
His bey began to zoom in a circle that created a whirlwind of water spiraling upwards to the sky. Sandra flinched instinctively as an enormous Japanese white dragon materialized behind the vortex coiling around him. Its roar shook the heavens. Sandra felt something deep within her soul set on fire and felt its warmth spread throughout her body. She couldn't see it, but her icy blue aura started glowing even brighter.
"Special Move: Shield of the Storm!" yelled Sandra.
At that, Byakko had jumped into the sky. The sky's clouds had started to swirl around and darkened into the color of smoky gray. The dark clouds were blocking out the sun from sight. But instead of rain nor lightning, the wind made itself known. It started blowing around Byakko like a protective shield of some sort.
The spirit of her white tigress materialized before her. It soon ran to the windy sky and charged towards Drago with its teeth barred.
The beyblade's special moves clashed in midair creating an incredible shockwave of energy that literally blew the spectators off their feet. Smoke rose clouding their vision as the water and lightning collided and evaporated in a plume of scalding steam. Hinote and Sandra shielded their faces before waving the steam away. His eyes widened when the smoke finally cleared to reveal his bey embedded into the floor of the slightly dented stadium.
Sandra's bey, Byakko, was still moving as it zoomed around the stadium triumphantly. The spirit of her white tigress materialized before them. A powerful, echoing roar rang across the windy sky to show the strength of its victory.
