Gingka: Great, here we go again.

Me:-smacks Gingka in the head- Shut up and do the disclaimer, pessimist.

Gingka: Galaxy doesn't own MFB, only the Steel Warriors and their suits and stuff.

Me: Enjoy!

They were legends. Everyone in Japan knew their names, knew their story. The rest of the world, however, had yet to hear anything more than rumors of them, had yet to even see their faces. And that was how they hoped to keep it. Their intent after that one particular day in mid-summer was to at last be able to hang up their systems and be normal, to spend time with the families they had created in the middle of it all, the friends and allies that they had gained. Unfortunately for them, however, this was not to last.

"Gingka! You have to come see this!" Madoka's voice called from inside.

The redhead flipping burgers on the grill outside sighed and stepped inside after telling the twins battling in the backyard stadium to keep an eye on the grill.

"What is it?" he asked, entering the living room.

Madoka merely pointed at the TV screen.

"Reports of DNA activity have been popping up around the world. Several government buildings have already been broken into, and a few have been taken over. It's a nonstop blitz of attacks, and the world is only asking one thing: Who will stop them?"

"You have got to be kidding me!" Gingka exclaimed, running his fingers through his blazing red hair in frustration.

"What are you going to do?" Madoka asked.

"I don't know, Madoka. I don't know." Gingka sighed, returning to the grill.

The brunette watched as her husband closed the sliding glass door behind him, her turquoise eyes full of worry.

"What's wrong, Dad?" a redhaired teenage girl asked, catching her silver and orange bey out of the air.

"Nothing, Anashi." Gingka replied shortly, reopening the grill and flipping a few more burgers.

Anashi raised an eyebrow, then turned back to the stadium.

"Want to go again?" she asked her brown-haired brother, who was standing across the stadium.

"I'm kinda getting tired of battling. Hey, let's climb on the roof and jump into the rosebushes!" he suggested.

Anashi grinned. "Arashi, that's one of the best ideas you've had all day! Let's go!"

The two ran around the corner of the house and disappeared. However, Gingka took no notice, staring absentmindedly into the flames of the grill.

"Dad! You're burning the food!" the voices of his twin children snapped the redhead out of his daze.

"Oh, man! Someone get me a plate, quickly!" Gingka called, turning off the grill and trying to salvage what he could of the food.

Anashi and Arashi laughed and ran to help.

"Here, take these in to your mother and see what she can do with them." Gingka said once they had cleaned up his mess.

"Alright." Anashi took the plate from her father's hands and watched worriedly as he took of his apron and laid it down on a chair before heading for the back gate to their yard.

"Where are you going, Dad?" the redhead asked.

"To talk to Kyoya." he replied, disappearing through the gate.

The twins glanced at each other and raised an eyebrow. It was rare that their father would go to the Tategami home to just talk. The last time he had done that, and every time before that, something big had happened, something that had changed practically everything.

"Let's ask mom about it." Arashi suggested.

Anashi nodded and followed her brother inside.


"Takeshi!"

The greenette glanced up from the stadium he was training in.

"Oh, hello Mr. Hagane!" he greeted, catching his silver and dark blue bey out of the stadium and running to open the gate for Gingka.

"Is your dad here?" Gingka asked.

"Yeah, he's out back." Takeshi said. "Why?"

"I just need to talk to him." Gingka said, stepping past the teen and heading to the backyard.

"Oh, okay." Takeshi said, confused. He watched Gingka disappear into the backyard, then turned and ran off towards the Hagane home.

"Hey Gingka! What, come to challenge me again?" Kyoya smirked, coming out of the shed as his rival entered the backyard.

Gingka sighed. "No, it's more serious than that."

"Oh no, you have to be kidding me." Kyoya said. "It can't be!"

Gingka closed his eyes and looked down at the ground. "There's no mistake from the news reports. The DNA is back, even after all our efforts to get rid of them."

"Then it looks like we may have a long hike up the mountain ahead of us." Kyoya sighed.

Gingka smiled sadly. "Yeah, I guess so. Round up the others, we're going to need some time to get back in sync."


"Is it ready?" Argo growled, entering a dimly-lit room.

"Yes sir. With these heavily-armored versions, hopefully the most that will happen to them is that they will get knocked over. We still have to test them though." a DNA technician reported.

"And you installed the newer weaponry and control systems?"

"Of course we did. This software should allow them to think on their own, rather then us having to react. They are also faster, and-" Argo cut him off.

"Good, test one out."

"Right now?"

"Of course. We need them in the air before our enemies can react."

"Well, we don't have any ways to test them, but you might want to see this." the technician pressed a button and the robot in front of him slowly lifted into the air, flames shooting from its feet.

"I'm impressed!"

"Thank you sir. We have finally caught up in technology, and now, even they can't stop us."

"That had better be true. We thought that before, remember?"

"Yes sir, but this time I'm sure of it: They will not be able to defeat these new robots, not with their heavier armor and high level of defense concerning their motors, which we unfortunately had to switch from electric to fuel-powered. However, they are highly efficient, and the fuel gives them a bit more power, enough to power the jets on their feet at the same time as their weaponry, we hope."

Argo grinned evilly. "Then, since you don't have any ways to test them in this dump of a base, let's test them in the field."

"Sir?"

"Send a squadron of them to attack Tokyo itself. I think that will be sufficient testing for us."

"Of course sir."


"Kira!" Argo called as he reached his office.

"Yes, Master Argo?" the pastel-haired blader replied, entering the room.

"What is the status? Still quiet?"

"Yes sir, we have not detected any activity for the last eleven months, as before."

"Good. Then they seem to be sleeping and won't know what just hit them."


"Alright, you never call us all together at once. What's up?" Kenta asked, walking up to the rest of the group, who had met in the forest, just next to the wall around Snowy Mountain.

"The DNA is back." Gingka sighed.

"What?" the rest of the group, minus Kyoya, yelled.

"Please tell me that you're joking." Titi said.

Gingka looked down at the ground.

"You're not joking… What do we do?" Kenta asked.

Gingka raised his eyes and looked around at the group.

"There's only one thing we can do." he replied.

"We're not getting any younger you know, we can't keep this up forever." Dynamis spoke up.

"I know, but it's our only choice. Our kids have gotten much stronger, but they still can't save the world. Zero and his friends probably have a pretty good chance, but not with how bad it was last time." Gingka replied.

"Then we have to do it." Aguma sighed.

"Yes, we do. It's our only choice." Chris replied.

"We laid it down, but how hard can it really be to pick it back up?" Yuki spoke up.

"The world needs us. More than ever before, probably." King said.

"Then, are we all together?" Gingka asked.

"Yeah, we all know what to do." Ryuga smirked.

"Then let's do it." Kyoya said.

Gingka grinned. "I thought you guys would all be eager. Let's go!"

"Let's bring back the Steel Warriors."


Me: Dun dun duuun!-dramatic music-

Gingka: What?! I thought we defeated the DNA for good!

Me: Then I wouldn't have a plotline!

Gingka: You don't need a plotline!

Me: Yes I do! Look, as much as we both dislike the DNA, they really help the story along. Now shut up. Anyway, see you guys next chapter!
