Earthbound Stars[Spoilers Edition]
After the final battles with Phalanx and the Dark Demon, Sandra became the Eldress of another new village that had formed near her original home. She had decided to break off from Darren's family and village for the time being, telling them of a vision of her being back on Earth. Sandra believes the time for her to go home is near, so in the mean time, she had become Eldress of her new village to teach people some of the abilties she learned in magic, but she still did her own private training sessions. 5 months later, Sandra would get word from some of her younger students that Aska's flock of Devil owls had come upon what the students called "humans that wore funny looking clothing not in familarity to natives of Santranus". Sandra had a nagging feeling her time to return home might have been around the corner, and went off to the area the people were sighted, finding them surrounded by Devil owls, and calling them off of the trio of travelers. Among the people was a short, blonde teenage boy with thick glasses and a Green coat. Another was a strange Red and white robot-like being with a yellow scarf and oval-shaped shield the size of his torso, and the last was a familar face: Corvus. the same elf that Sandra had met as a young child after the Bourdon Towers. Sandra and Corvus met face to face again. Corvus didn't quite recognize Sandra completely on sight, since he saw her as a little child, but managed to put 2+2 together, and Sandra still remembered him like the first day they had met. Asking Corvus of how he returned to Santranus, he explains his situation: he had managed to finally return to Parthoris, only to find out a plauge had gripped 2/3s of the world, and of his journey to purify the corrupted Seraph, Morcalavin, who had accentally created the Plauge when he was turned evil by a wrongly casted spell of power. Corvus then explains that he discovered that D'Sparil's spirit had left Parthoris, and later from Morcalavin, now his spiritual ally, that D'Sparil and his elder brother Korax were resurrected by a magician named Praevus, and that the two have descended to the world of Earth. The blonde boy introduces himself as Jeff Andonuts, son of Dr. Timothy Andonuts in Winters, Foggyland. The robots tells her that he is Blues, the prototype brother of the legendary bioroid Rock, aka Megaman. Sandra decides to invite them back to her village, not yet deciding to tell them of her own origins. After resting up, Jeff, Corvus and Blues get a bit into detail about their journey, however most of the names of their friends had not yet been brought up, so Sandra didn't know that her own sister Paula was part of the great battle. She then decides to drop the bomb and explain to Jeff and Blues that she too came from Earth. However she doesn't get much into detail about her own family history, thinking it wouldn't matter at the moment if they knew her family was. Jeff and Blues are shocked to know this info, and they ask Sandra if she would want to follow them back home, believing this might be the opportune time to return her home. Sandra makes the tough desicion, a sad one for her students, but she decides to have Carnes and Slogra take her place as leaders of the village, saying that they can protect Santranus too, and that she isn't the only protector. She explains to her students that going home to Earth was a major goal in her life, but she does let some of them know that she will miss them, and to tell her other friends of the mixed news. Sandra departs from her village with Jeff, Corvus and Blues, and they manage to find the World Ripple from the Portals of Chaos that had lead Jeff, Blues and Corvus to Santranus in the first place. Sandra secretly studies the gate before she leaves Santranus to return to Earth, knowing she will want to come back to visit. This helps set her up for her own ability to use her own Ripples much much later on.
The Ripple from Santranus dumps Sandra, Jeff, Blues and Corvus into a tunnel that is familar to Jeff: the tunnel leading from the Fourside bridge to Fourside itself. Sandra asks them where their friends are. They explain to her furtherly that they had split up and each group had taken their own portal, which they believed would have the same final destination: the tunnels near them. Soon enough, more people emerged from the tunnel. These people were lead by a friend of Jeff's, known as Ness Franklin. Ness meets Sandra, and gets a strange feeling from looking at her, but he decides to skip the subject for now, asking her, Jeff, Corvus and Blues about their part of the journey. Soon, another portal opens within the tunnel, dumping out a group of people lead by an oriental, black-haired boy, who introduces himself as Poo, the Prince of Dalaam, Chommo. Poo sees Sandra and almost mistakes her for Paula, catching onto the situation quicker than Ness or Jeff do, but decides to not say anything yet, curious to who Sandra really is. Sandra learns a little about Poo's own strength, which is even higher than Ness's strength, and thinks he could be a good training partner in physical skills and teach her some styles of Earth in the recent years. Finally a fourth and final gate opens in the tunnels. Out of this gate comes a group of people, including a boy with Glasses, Light Brownish Hair, as well as another boy with Darker Brown hair and a Taco Bell Shirt. Another was a humanoid Bobcat creature, another a red robotic dog, and their leader, a Blonde girl with shoulder-length hair, a pink dress and a red ribbon. Sandra almost freaks out right on the spot, but decides to let a few more things happen before coming to conclusions. The girl stops in place upon seeing Sandra, almost frozen. She then runs over to them, asking Ness, Jeff and Poo who found Sandra during their journey's in the Chaos rifts. Jeff tells her that it had been him, and of the journey to Santranus. Through this Sandra learns the girl in fact is her twin sister Paula, who in return figures out who she is. They give each other a massive bear-hug in front of everyone else, freaking Ness, Jeff and Poo out. After they let out all of their emotions and tears over their reuniting, Paula tells them the full story, and explains that Sandra is her twin sister, lost over 10 years ago, and thought to never return. Sandra gives her own details on the situation, and learns that her family had kept the story about her more or less to themselves since she had disappeared, not wanting emotional attention from outsiders and media breathing down their necks. Paula is just happy to see her sister alive and well. Everyone gets accquainted with each other. Sandra meets one of the boys that had come with Paula, who had introduced himself to the others as Jack Walker, and she sensed a strange power from him, one that was as much in strength as it was in effectiveness, powers that Jack had no knowledge of himself. From Ness, Paula, Jeff, Poo, a cat known as Artemis, and Corvus himself, everyone else that is new is filled on the full story about Korax and D'Sparil's threat on Earth. Sandra has no qualms with going after the two Serpent Riders for their actions, having fought her own demonic villains in the past. Jack and some of the other newer additions to the group are more nervous, as expected.
