Two black figures, a turbine constantly rotating in their chests, jumped across the rocks of the barren landscape towards the spot where the Madou Knight Wolzard and Heavenly Saint Lunagel had battled years ago. It would certainly be here. A full moon was fast approaching. The figures slowed to a stop, revealing themselves as two armored, cat-like beings carrying a small gun each.

"It's always here at the full moon," said Quester Gai, whose suit was accented with green. He carried two small gun-daggers, currently in dagger mode. "I cannot wait until Takaoka finds out what we've got in store for him." Quester Rei, his partner in yellow wielding one, larger gun, came to a halt behind him.

"It's nearly midnight," he said, "The time is approaching."

The stars vanished from the sky as the moon, glowing full and bright, outshone everything else in the horizon above. A beam of silver moonlight struck the center of the battlefield, revealing a Saint Circle engraved in the ground in purple and silver. Gai aimed his two guns, Rei his one.

"Now to free this Precious for our own," he said.

"Fire!" yelled the Questers at the same time.

Blasts from the Quester's guns hit the three circular points on the Saint Circle, effectively setting free what it had been containing. A staff, topped with a gold wing design, and primarily silver, had been revealed. "Lunagel's staff!" Gai laughed happily, "The Key of Infershia!" He'd found it in a book detailing the history of magic, and immediately sought it for reasons that only the Questers could make good use of. He passed the Key off to Rei, who laughed as he held it.

"This is going to be wonderful!" Rei exclaimed.

"It shall truly be the Age of the Questers!" Gai laughed.

Meanwhile, at the Search Guard Successor Foundation's museum, Souta Mogami was playing a simple tune on his guitar. Masumi Inou was toying with a yo-yo in the corner, and Natsuki was reading from a book of fairy tales. Sakura trained herself mentally, and Satoru scanned a book of Precious. Eiji was nowhere to be seen. He'd been missing since that morning, saying it was for his own personal reasons. Nobody took issue with this. Eiji was part of the team, and it involved a Precious, so he could leave within reason.

Morio Makino, the mechanic, had been in his lab for days now. He'd made sure to get some sleep this time around. When asked what he was doing, he gave only one reply. "Number 10 needs some adjustments in case of an emergency. The Bouken School gave me a few ideas I've wanted to implement in case SirenBuilder isn't able to function properly."

"Like now?" Masumi asked.

"Yes, exactly," Makino tapped the keyboard.

The elevator to the meeting room dinged and opened to reveal DaiKenJin Zuban, walking in holding a solid gold rock. It landed on the yellow table around which Souta, Sakura and Satoru sat with a resounding crash. "Zuban?" Satoru asked, raising his eyebrow in confusion "Is that…real gold?"

"Zuban…" Zuban replied in a strained tone.

Sakura removed her Accelular from its jacket pocket and scanned the composition of the rock. "Its solid gold," she said, "only Zuban would be able to carry it."

"There are no gold deposits this big," Souta said, "How is it possible?"

A familiar humming was heard from the three rectangular screens in front of them, creating a wavy blue background on which a mustachioed, silver torch with stick arms appeared in a flash of digitized color. Mr. Voice. "Good morning, Boukenger," he said, "We've picked up the Precious that caused this. It was mentioned in a book of Magitopian Treasures. It's called the Midas Glove."

"Midas Glove?" asked Natsuki, cocking her head to the left.

"King Midas," Masumi explained, "He was a ruler in the ancient days who wished to turn everything he touched to gold out of greed. This went too far as he turned those he loved into gold as well. His power was strong, so it can't just be taken away. The gods must've put it into the form of a glove to grant anyone Midas' ability. But be warned – it's a powerful, addictive one."

"Figures an ex-thief would know something about gold, wouldn't he?" Souta asked.

"Don't call me an ex-thief!" Masumi shoved Souta aside.

"Boys, boys, no fighting!" Natsuki pouted.

"She's right," Sakura interjected, "We need to find the Midas Glove."

"All Boukenger, move out!" Satoru snapped his fingers, "Attack!"

The team went down to the SGS Vehicle Bay, grabbing their Bouken Drivers and taking Vehicles Number 1 through Number 5 out to the valley where Ryuuon, of the Jaryuu Clan, was searching for the Midas Glove. He needed the power – he'd already failed to obtain the treasures of Lemuria, but having the world be his golden oyster would be a wonderful compensation.

Dump, Formula, Gyro, Dozer and Marine screeched to a halt in the valley where the Jaryuu were frantically searching about for any trace of the Midas Glove. The team of five stopped on a nearby cliff as Satoru instructed the team to pull out their Accelulars in case of emergency.

"Boukenger!" Ryuuon exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

"We've come for the Midas Glove," Natsuki chuckled, "Can you give it to us?"
"Not a chance!" screamed the creator king as he blasted the cliffside with a wave of energy from his swords.

"Ready!" Masumi exclaimed.

"Boukenger! START UP!"

The Accelular's turbines were rolled down their sleeves as a flash of light in the five colors, forming the team's Accelsuits. Natsuki and Sakura fired their Survibusters at the Jaryuu henchmen as Souta and Masumi rushed to combat more with their Surviblades. Satoru turned his eye on Ryuuon himself.

"Zuban!" he called. Zuban leapt off the top of Gougou Dump and turned his chestplate 45 degrees, transforming into sword mode. He landed in Satoru's hands. BoukenRed leapt into the air and ignited Zuban into a blade of golden light.

"JUMPING GOLDEN SLASH!" Ryuuon held up his twin blades to defend from the incoming attack, but they were cut in two by Zuban's sheer power. Ryuuon tried to recover quickly, his regeneration abilities coming through for him. He became alert and ready when the greatest news he could've received reached his ears.

"Ryuuon!" one of the Jaryuu sounded, "We've found it!"

A golden leather glove, the fingers cut off, had been unearthed by a Jaryuu who'd wisely split from the fight. An onyx gem was in the very center of the glove. Ryuuon slid his dragon hand into it and felt a golden energy surge up his body. "Boukenger!" he laughed, "I have the Midas Glove now! In time, the world shall be mine! Fortunes shall be made from the gold I produce!"

"Technically," Sakura interrupted, exploding a Jaryuu with a well-placed Survibuster shot to the mouth, "If you turned the world to gold, wouldn't it be so common that it has no monetary value anymore?"

"Don't play coy with me, BoukenPink!" Ryuuon shouted, sending a wave of golden energy from his gloved hand. Satoru summoned the Acceltector and leapt in the way of the beam, the chest shield taking the hit. It was a heavy weight on his chest, but he sent it back to SGS until a way could be found to secure the Midas Glove.

"Bouken Bo!" Satoru called for the weapon, "Bouken Javelin!" A blade extended from the top of the weapon, glowing red with flame, "Red Zone Crash!" The power of Gougou Dump's Parallel Engine flowed through him, and he charged toward Ryuuon at maximum speed. The Red Zone Crash was enough to knock the Midas Glove off Ryuuon's hand, and Satoru tossed a card into the air that immediately materialized into a box, keeping the Glove collected and safe until it reached the hands of SGS.

"We win this time," Satoru said, "Now, do you have any Jakuryuu that you want to unleash? DaiBouken is standing by." Ryuuon would've called forth his latest Jakuryuu, but was interrupted when the ground began to shake. The full moon, still visible in the daytime skies above them, shone a ray of silver light downward that struck the ground. A wall with a gate in the center began to rise.

Far away, Gai was gripping the rod of the Key of Infershia, raising the gates from the ground. They were the quickest way to the upper level of Infershia, but had been long since closed. Gai's Gordom Engine was rotating at such a fast pace that it looked as though it were about to break. Green energy stopped flowing through the Key, and the Gates of Infershia were risen. And open.

Gai and Rei walked in, their heads held high, ready to be greeted by the Infershia Pantheon, a guild of 12 of the highest, most feared demons in the underworld. What they got was a group of Zobil, the cannon fodder and lowest-ranking members, dressed in overalls and hardhats working on assembling a structural bridge to prop up the destroyed entryway of Infershia, which had been partially torn down when the gates rose to the surface. They pulled out the cleavers they'd kept hidden behind their backs and advanced towards them.

"Idiots!" Gai laughed.

"They're no better than Gaja's Karths!" Rei added, drawing his gunblade.

A barrage of green-and-yellow energy bolts, powered by the Gordom Engine, flew through Infershia. Zobil had their robes ripped to shreds, their masks shattered, body parts ripped asunder, and blood flying. A few High Zobil, the foremen of this construction operation, drew their staffs and slowly started marching towards the Questers.

Gai switched his guns to daggers, and Rei flipped his rifle into a sword. The staffs were cut in two, as was many of the High Zobil. Gai took out the Key of Infershia, planning to deliver a major blow to the forces in a sardonic, ironic way. If only he hadn't heard the sound of a shrill whistle that stopped the troops...

"Back off, gentlemen," it was a female voice, "I'll handle them."

"Who dares to challenge the Ashu Tribe?" Gai roared, "Do you know who we are?"

"I've never heard of you," said the female voice as she marched up the ramp to the upper levels, "but I can still stop your invasion before it gets out of hand."

The woman surfaced on top of the ramp, revealing herself to be humanoid, yet her face resembled an animal's. She held a giant golden wrist-mounted bazooka on her right arm with a lion's head at the front. A gold headdress, Egyptian robes, and a pair of spectacles were on her face. She had dark, chocolate-brown skin and a friendly, wise demeanor. Gai and Rei had made her reach her breaking point.

"The name is Hades God Sphinx!" she said, "Lionic Blade!" A crescent of golden energy erupted from the front of the bazooka, hitting Gai and Rei in the head. Their black armor reflected the attack, leaving them with nothing but a scratch. Sphinx was joined by two female assistants on her sides, dressed in black leather gothic Lolita wear. One had a crossbow, the other a heavy gattling gun. Nai and Mea, the two halves of the Queen of the Vampires, Vancuria.

"Ha!" Gai held the Key of Infershia in front of him, creating a protective shield. Nai and Mea launched arrows and bullets at the two, but they had already streaked away to the ramp that Sphinx had come from. They descended further into the depths of Infershia until they were in the Valley of the Pantheon. It was here that Sphinx's kind, the Hades Gods, had made their meetings almost a year ago to decide on the punishment for the surface world above.

"The Furious Demon God!" Gai struck a pose as green energy spiraled around him, "Quester…GAI!"

"The Great Beast!" Rei held his sword in front of him as yellow energy whirled around his form, "Quester…REI!"

"To free the demons, that is our goal. Come onto the stage…" the two grabbed hold of the rod of the Key of Infershia, "QUESTERS!" Lunagel's staff was beginning to generate enough energy to create a field of explosions behind them, threatening to level all of Infershia to here. "Ashu Overlord Kiba…awaken!" They dropped the staff, letting it strike a fragment of the shattered Stone of Judgment. The fragment lifted into the air, a dark aurora pulsating around it.

"This is it!" Gai exclaimed, "He's here!"

Ten beams of light shot from the stone fragment, giving birth to Ifrit, the magma creature with his swinging ball and mace, the technological Cyclops and his sniper rifle, the temptress snake-woman Gorgon and her reflective shield, the heavily armored Drake and his saw-toothed blade, the obese Toad and his trumpet-hammer, the knight Sleipnir and his lance and shield, the honorable, hairy Titan with his double-edged lightning staff, the red-scaled fishman Dagon and his trident, and the Absolute Demon God himself, N. Ma. There was no sign of the Ashu God Kiba.

A sparkling light shone behind the two Questers. They turned around to see a young boy of 18 dressed in long, black robes trimmed with white fur. Part of his black hair was dyed red. From the opposite side was a man in a silver jacket with brown hair, a metallic blue gun strapped around his belt.

"Questers!" the man in silver yelled. "Gai! Rei!"

"Quester?" asked the boy, "So that's who they are!"

"I sensed them this way," the man replied, "GoGo Changer!"

"Mahou Henshin! Maaji Maji Majiiro!"

"START UP!"

The man flipped open the compartment on his wrist brace, and the boy dialed in the code 1-0-6 on his golden MagiPhone. The man leaped from the top of the room as a metallic blue light surrounded him, transforming him into a silver spandex suit with purple siren shoulder pads, orange lines, a black center, and red lights flaring on his visor complemented by a metallic blue mouthpiece. The boy transformed into a red-suited hero with a phoenix-shaped visor. They drew their weapons, the gun and a sword, from their belts and stated their names.

"Mabayuki Boukensha!" the man in silver held his hands in front of him, the right hand's index and middle fingers pointing out, "BoukenSilver!"

"Moero honoo no elemento!" the boy struck a birdlike pose before ending with an elaborate stance, "Aka no mahoutsukai! MagiRed!"

"Takaoka…" Gai laughed, "Who's your new friend?"

"Doesn't look like BoukenRed to me," Rei added.

"Who's BoukenRed?" asked MagiRed, "I am Ozu Kai, the Red Magician!"

"Ozu?" asked Takaoka Eiji, "As in the magical family Ozu?"

"Yes!" Kai yelled, "Now stop standing around! The Hades Gods have been revived!"

"By the hands of the Questers!" Eiji replied.

"MagiStick Sword!"

"SagaSpear!"

The two charged headfirst into the battle.
