Alright people! To those of you who have read Stormflight: Together We Stand, here is the sequel! For those of you who have not read it, you have to go read it first, since otherwise you may not know exactly what is going on in this story. Gingka?
Madoka: he flew off again…
Me: ok then, you can do the disclaimer.
Madoka: GalaxyPegasus14 does not own Metal Fight Beyblade, only the design of the suits that the legend Bladers wear in this story, as well as their code names. Also-Ahh! Gingka, what are you doing?
Gingka: just hanging out, what's it look like?
Madoka: it looks like you are hanging from the bottom of a DNA helicopter, that's what!
Gingka: so?
It had been nearly a year since Madoka and Gingka had gotten married. Madoka was working at the B-Pit, running it now with a little support from Gingka, who had left in his Stormflight suit, which he had not worn since before their wedding, about an hour ago, muttering something about a 'new Legend Bladers operation test project' or something like that. However, he had promised to be back before dinner, unless he called and told her otherwise.
-meanwhile-
"Wildwind to Stormflight, can you hear me? over"
"loud and clear Wildwind! This is Stormflight, over"
"Cosmicbark, come in please, this is Wildwind, over"
"Cosmicbark in, over"
"alright guys, operation Steel Warrior has now begun. Test flight one, delta formation. Over"
"got it! Wildwind in position, over"
"Warriorbelt, are you reading me? Over"
"loud and clear Stormflight! Over."
"this is Jadebolt, where's Lizardflight and Warlord? Over"
"this is Lizardflight, I'm right here Jadebolt! We wouldn't miss it of course! Over"
"this is Firearrow, I'm in position, over"
"good, so we are just missing Scythestrike and Dragonfang then? Over."
"this is Scythestrike, I have Dragonfang with me but he's being Mr. grumpy pants right now. Over"
"hey! I am not being Mr. Grumpy Pants, I just don't see why we have to do this when we probably don't even need practice, that's all."
"are you done talking yet? Over."
"over…"
"good. Alright guys, no specific formation, flyover on DNA headquarters, stay out of sight! Over."
"loud and clear Stormflight! This is going to be so much fun! Over"
"Cosmicbark, I hope these jetpack silencers work! Go for it boys! Over!"
-at the DNA-
"alright, we just have to find where their base is, so we can take out the whole network! Their 'Operation Stormflight' as they called it, will end once we do!" Argo was saying. "Gingka took us down once, but will we give up? No, of course not! All we have to do is strike where they are least going to expect it!"
"our helicopters are taking off now, armed with guns, bombs, anything we could load onto them" Ian reported.
"good, they wont know what hit them" Argo replied.
"sir, we have a problem" Merci cut in.
"and what is that?" Argo snapped.
"please look at the security cameras on the roof sir, I think they will explain" the screen in front of them lit up, showing an image of Stormflight himself, masked, standing on top of the radio tower at the top of the DNA.
"how did he get there? Someone take him down! I want him alive and brought right in here now!"
"of course sir, I will see to it right away" Merci replied
-outside-
Stormflight stood motionless as one of the DNA helicopters came barreling towards him, powering up its machine guns.
"this is Stormflight, I'm calling a new operation. Over.
"Wildwind here, what did you do now? Over"
"got spotted, everyone, prepare for operation uncover, effective immediately. I need Wildwind and Dragonfang to my right, Warriorbelt and Firearrow to my left, Scythestrike and Lizardflight in front of me, and Jadebolt and Warlord behind me. Stay in the forest. Cosmicbark, be ready to activate your grappling hook on my signal, I want you above me. Once I take off, it's time for operation DNA crash landing! Over."
"got it, we are all in position"
"is he going to just stand there? He's making it easy for us" Argo snickered, pressing a button. "hey Stormflight! Last chance to surrender before we take you by force!"
Stormflight held up one hand, pointing up. As the helicopter fired, he took off, perfectly in time for it to miss. "initiate operation DNA crash landing! Over!" were the last words Argo heard before four pairs of grappling hooks, one from each side of the building, shot out of the forest below and grabbed the weaponry on the helicopter, effectively disabling it with an electric current sent up the wires. Two more hooks shot down from above, stopping the rotors on the stalled helicopter.
"take off! Show them now! Initiate operation uncover! Over!" Stormflight called, flying forwards with Cosmicbark, pulling the rotors of the helicopter with them. In response, eight figures shout out of the forest, each attached to one of the lines securing the helicopter and dragging it down quickly. The Garcias, in their office, heard a dull thud and an explosion as the helicopter's communication and tracking devices went offline permanently.
"we strike now! Where it will affect them the most! Send a helicopter to get the WBBA and most importantly, Madoka! We will hold her until we force him to surrender!" Argo yelled angrily.
-a couple of hours later-
"sorry I'm late!" Gingka called as he entered the B-Pit's kitchen.
"well, at least you are here!" Madoka replied. "how did it go?"
"pretty good actually! Just hung out with Yuki, you know, testing new equipment"
"what kind of new equipment? Or am I going to have to find that out later?"
"hmm, I think later" Gingka said, kissing his wife and pulling away a minute later, grinning. "that smells good, what are you fixing?"
Madoka smashed a spoonful of mashed potatoes on his nose. "why don't you wait and find out?" she teased.
Gingka grabbed a paper towel and wiped the potatoes off his nose. "this is for not telling you about the new device, isn't it?" he said.
"of course, now help me get this on the table so we can eat" Madoka replied, handing him a platter of steak.
-over at the WBBA-
"hey Ryo!"
"hey Tsubasa! How's the managing going?"
"great! I meant to call and tell you this earlier, but we found Gingka"
"what? How is he?"
"he's doing great! You missed quite a bit, but I'll just let him tell you about it later, he's probably eating dinner at the B-Pit with Madoka about now."
"how is she doing? Those two adorable lovebirds!"
"she's doing great as well, yeah, talk about lovebirds, they are just crazy!"
"so, has he asked her out yet?"
"nope"
"WHAT?" get him on the phone, I need to talk to that young man right now! If hes going to lag about this…"
"whoa, hold on a minute! They got married almost a year ago!"
"they what? And didn't tell me?"
"well, I was going to let him tell you that… I think they are coming over to the WBBA after dinner, how about I call you when they get here and let you talk to them, and rant at Gingka all you like?"
"sounds good to me! I'll be waiting, and you better call me!"
"I will!"
-back at the B-Pit-
"so, you went and did something dangerous again?"
"of course! Who do you think I am?"
"a reckless blader who doesn't pay much attention to safety"
"I-good point."
"so, what dashing and dangerous thing did you do this time?"
"only one actually, I stood on top of the DNA's radio tower"
"that's more dangerous then I thought! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"nope, they took out their own radio tower! It was funny!"
"and they took it out shooting at you of course! Gingka, what if they discovered Yuki's lab? What would you do then?"
"I'm not sure Madoka, but the helicopter they used is no longer in existence"
"and you are sure of this?"
"well, I did make it crash"
"Gingka….. You crazy! I hit the mark perfectly when I called you Mr. Crazy Pants!"
"yeah, probably, but you do realize what that makes you now, right?"
"huh?"
"Mrs. Crazy Pants!"
"I-" Madoka couldn't come up with a comeback. "ok, you got me, now help me clean up, I told Tsubasa we would be over at seven"
"right behind you, Mrs. CP!"
Madoka face palmed.
-thirty minutes later-
"ok, we're here!" Madoka called.
"hey guys! Gingka, your dad is not too happy with you right now"
"uh-oh, what does he think I did now?"
"more like what does he think you didn't do. Come on, he's waiting on the video chat right now for you"
The three entered the room to see Ryo in his Phoenix costume. "hello son! It is I, the Immortal Phoenix!"
"yeah, and I'm the Steel Warrior. What is it now dad?"
"are you making fun of my name? I am the Immortal Phoenix!"
"I never said I was making fun of it! I have an alias too you know!"
"you do? You will have to show me sometime then, Mr. ran-off-and-got-married-without-telling-your-father!"
"Ok, I get it dad, but we obviously were not thinking, we had just finished dealing with a big threat here, which was why I left Koma Village two years ago"
"Ok, but now you have to come visit! I insist that you and Madoka leave right away for Koma Village! I want you here in the minimum travel time of two days! You got it?"
"Ten minutes work for you?" Gingka asked, looking at his watch.
"Gingka, I am not sure I want to go that fast, I know what you are thinking" Madoka said.
"Ten minutes? How on earth would you get here in ten minutes?" Ryo shouted.
"Count them down dad!" Gingka called, grabbing Madoka's hand and pulling her towards the roof, where he activated his Stormflight helmet and jetpacks before handing Madoka her goggles, which she put on with a sigh, knowing there was no way she was going to stop him from doing this to show off.
"Count them down? Ok, I really don't believe you, but I'll count anyway!" Ryo said, looking at the clock.
"Ok, so when we get there, you just walk in the door while I deactivate my suit, then I'll come in behind you. Whatever you do, don't mention Stormflight, ok?" Gingka told Madoka as she settled comfortably into his arms and readied for takeoff.
"Got it, I'm ready!"
"Activate jets and takeoff!" Gingka ordered his suit.
"Five" Ryo muttered, pacing and looking at the clock.
"What are you doing Ryo?" Hyoma asked.
"Counting down" Ryo replied.
"To what?"
"Gingka's supposed arrival time, I didn't believe he could be here as fast as he said, so I'm counting."
"Ok then, I'll leave you to that"
"Four…"
-2 minutes later-
"Ok quick! Go get them!" Gingka whispered as he set Madoka down.
"One…"
"Faster than we said!" Madoka shouted, rushing in, completely out of breath.
A couple of minutes later, Gingka walked in behind her, catching his breath as well.
"How did you run that fast?" Ryo asked.
"Run? What do you mean?" Hyoma asked, confused
"Nine minutes, new record time for getting to Koma from Metal Bey City!" Gingka exclaimed. "and I was carrying Madoka the whole way!"
"Nine minutes? You are joking!" Hyoma said.
"Nope, they were at the WBBA ten minutes ago" Ryo replied. "Right Tsubasa?"
"Of course, but Gingka, I didn't know you could go that fast!"
"I do the Pacific from South America to Metal Bey in five hours, how should I not be able to do this shorter distance in ten minutes?" Gingka said, finally catching his breath.
"That's fast! Wait, how do you manage that?" Ryo asked.
A sudden explosion shook the ground and knocked them all on their backs. Gingka was up and out the door in a moment, muttering. "Stupid DNA!"
Ryo followed him "Wait Gingka! How did you know it was them? They have been attacking here for the past few weeks!"
"I've been dealing with them myself lately" Gingka shouted back. He raised his wrist to his mouth and pressed a few buttons "This is Stormflight! Cosmicbark, come in quickly! Over!" he shouted.
"Cosmicbark?" Madoka wondered aloud "who's that?"
"This is Cosmicbark, I read you loud and clear Stormflight, what's going on there? Over"
"I need Wildwind, and Firearrow to Koma Village NOW!" Gingka yelled, diving out of the way of a spray of bullets as one of the helicopters noticed him and began firing. "So that's how it is. Didn't I already teach you once not to mess with the Legend Bladers?"
Madoka screamed as a squad of DNA bladers leapt out of the helicopter and surrounded her.
"Madoka! Jump with your hands in the air on my signal!" Gingka called. "You wondered how I did it dad? Here it is! Activate Stormflight suit!" in response, his helmet instantly folded over his face, and his jetpacks came out and activated, powerful, but silent. "Madoka now!" Gingka called, blasting off. Seconds later, neither were in sight, and it had all happened too fast for Ryo to figure out what was happening. Madoka somehow ended up behind him, and Gingka's voice yelled "Dad! Make sure none of them get to her!"
Ryo glanced around, but saw nothing, except for a bright light that was too large to be a star shining through the clouds above him.
"Initiate Operation DNA Crash Landing?" a voice called from their left.
Startled, Madoka and Ryo glanced over, only to see a figure emerge from the bushes. He, like Gingka, wore a helmet, but his was different. An elongated triangle with a crisscross design on it came down to where his mouth probably was underneath the mask, directly under the triangle pattern was a curved form, crafted to look like a set of fangs pointing downward. The eyes were in the shape of half-circles, with the flat side facing downward, and underneath the glowing green eyes were two indentations, spikes pointing straight down with single branches pointing inward, towards the center of his mask.
"Wildwind reporting, Stormflight, come in, are we initiating Operation DNA Crash Landing or not?"
"Yes, Initiate it now!" Stormflight replied, landing just across from him. "where is Firearrow?" he pointed his arm, grappling hook ready and mounted, and aimed it at the one attacking helicopter.
"Right here!" a third voice said, as a third figure stepped out of the bushes, creating a triangle formation with Gingka and the second masked figure. His mask however, had an arrow with the tip at his chin, pointing downward. An x shape was etched across the center of the shaft of the arrow, and his glowing golden eyes shone out from between strands of hair of the same color.
"Ready then, and fire!" Gingka ordered. All three hooks grabbed the helicopter. "Disable it!" electricity crackled up the wires. " Takeoff!" perfectly in sync, the three masked figures took off, Ryo still not knowing that the one who commanded them was Gingka himself. A few moments later, the results of their work was heard as an explosion rippled through the dusk. Minutes later, all three landed.
"Alright, let me guess. These are two of the other Legend Bladers?" Madoka said, punching Gingka's arm.
"Of course" Gingka replied, retracting his helmet, much to Ryo and Hyoma's surprise. "Told you I was the Steel Warrior, but I'm not the only one. Madoka, this is Firearrow and Wildwind, and you are correct, they are two of the other Legend Bladers. We have initiated Operation Steel Warrior, and all ten of us now have a suit, after we convinced Ryuga to join us.
Wildwind retracted his helmet, revealing the wild green hair and turquoise eyes of Kyoya Tategami. "Of course it's us! You don't really think even for a second that we would let Gingka have all the fun, do you?"
"No, I guess not" Madoka laughed. "nice to see you again, Kyoya!"
"Yeah, we each pretty much got to design our own helmets and suits, then Yuki built them" Firearrow's helmet retracted to reveal the calm brown eyes of Kenta, who smiled at Madoka. "Mrs. Hagani" he bowed.
"Oh you guys, you are all crazy!" Madoka laughed.
"But, they will be back, we need to have a way that we an take down a helicopter with only one of us" Gingka said.
"Yeah, we better head back to base, I'll tell Yuki that" Kyoya said, reactivating his helmet and once again becoming Wildwind.
"We'll be seeing you guys!" Kenta waved as he switched to Firearrow and took off after Kyoya.
"ok, now you two have even more explaining to do." Ryo said.
Gingka chuckled. "well, we did set up a network between nine, now all ten of the Legend Bladers. Since we set it up, we have had Operation Stormflight, which recently stopped the DNA from taking over the WBBA and later the world, and our current operation, as you just saw, is Operation Steel Warrior, which will further keep the DNA from doing anything that could be a threat."
"so, how exactly did 'Operation Stormflight' work? What happened there?" Hyoma asked.
"well, since that one has ended, I can tell you. It started about a month after I left here after I got a message from Yuki over the network informing me of the DNA, which had just become a threat. About another month later, we came up with and had finished building my suit, then it was off to the DNA. Yuki disguised himself as a mad scientist and presented me to the DNA as a robot for them to test in return for his services. I went on many missions for them, and gave everyone at the WBBA quite the scare while doing it, especially when I captured Madoka and brought her to the DNA. I got in trouble after she escaped though, but they didn't know it was with my help. that's when it got interesting, as only me and Yuki could know that I was actually Stormflight, as my alias became, and was spying on the DNA. It was hilarious to see the looks on the Garcias' faces once I refused an order for the first time!"
"wait, the Garcias? As in, Team Garcias from Brazil?" Ryo asked. "what was the order?"
"yup, it's them alright. And the order, to give you some background here, I had just hacked into the speaker system and shown my face onscreen, inside my helmet. So, for the next five minutes, they had me looking for myself, because I told them that I was disguised as one of their agents, one they should never have trusted. Naturally, thinking that Stormflight was a robot, they never suspected him, until I 'found' myself. The order itself was to capture me and lock me up, so I decided that the charade was over and refused the order. That was when Operation Stormflight really took off with its original intended purpose, eventually ending with me defeating the DNA and them running away in fear of the power I held. Apparently with those recent attacks though, they haven't yet learned not to mess with the Legendary Bladers, and it is probably going to take teamwork to show them once and for all that we are not to be messed with without serious planning ahead of time."
"wow, so, I guess that when you disappeared, that was in your suit? I didn't really get to see it" Ryo said.
"here, stand back a second" Gingka said, stepping away from them. "its all either voice command or pushing buttons. Activate helmet!" instantly, a small metal bar popped up from inside his collar, the rest of the helmet folding down seconds later over his face, the blue hair in the same style as his own soon appearing after that. Ryo and Hyoma jumped as the glowing blue eyes of the mask shot opened and lit up.
"and now, you have met Stormflight, who we thought was a threat until he refused the DNA order and revealed himself as Gingka" Madoka said.
"yeah, now forget that I am Gingka for a moment, and I will show you what Madoka knew as Stormflight, because it took acting skills to play him" Gingka's voice came through his speakers.
"oh brother, here we go again" Madoka muttered.
Gingka suddenly activated his jetpacks and blasted off noisily, having turned off the silencers. He flew off to the north, and everyone waited for him to reappear. Twenty full minutes later, they heard him returning. He landed with his back to them, and, in his former monotone voice said "see? I told you flying was fun. Ok, so that wasn't the way I acted while I was at the DNA, but you get the idea. "
"wow, cool!" Ryo said.
"hey! Why did you have to bring me into all of this? Where are we anyway?" a voice yelled.
"because I needed to demonstrate just how easily I could kidnap someone when they weren't expecting it." Gingka replied, putting his helmet down and allowing his arms to drop to his sides.
"ok, now can you take me back?" Zero asked, taking a couple of steps away from the Legend Blader, who had flown over and grabbed him while he was walking to the place where he had been staying.
"ok, ok, here, hold on tight" Gingka replied, putting his helmet back up and grabbing Zero, then taking off.
"whoa! Too fast, too fast!" the group standing in Koma Village heard the young blader yelling as he was carried off.
"ok, that was interesting" RYo commented. "how did he get that technology anyway?"
"I made it" another voice said as a new figure stepped out of the bushes. His mask, which closely resembled Gingka's, also had a ninja-like look to it, but, instead of the lines going from the nose to the sides of the mask, creating a triangle combination on the helmet, his had two lines running down from the sides of his nose to his chin. Dark blue hair, having a very familiar-looking style, fell in two small strands down to the same level as his chin, and many more strands hung in his face, just over his glowing blue eyes, which were a couple of shades darker that Gingka's.
"and you are?" Ryo asked.
"Agent Cosmicbark at your service, otherwise known as Yuki Mizusawa" the figure gave a low bow as he spoke, his helmet retracting to reveal the brown hair of Yuki, who straightened immediately. "is Gingka-san here? I have something important to tell him"
"he should be back in about eighteen minutes, counting the time he took to make the round trip to Metal Bey City and back last time" Madoka replied.
"ok, I thought that was him I saw taking off. So, how have you been over the past year?"
"pretty good, how si the Network holding up?"
"very well, as Gingka may or may not have mentioned, we got Ryuga to join us as Agent Dragonfang, and we are now in basically a second stage of Operation Stormflight, known in its code name as Operation Steel Warrior, mainly to insure that the DNA doesn't try anything again, which, being them, they naturally are"
"of course, it seems like evil never sleeps, there is always a new threat somewhere, and we rarely get a break, but its fun work anyway" Gingka said through his helmet, stepping up next to Yuki. "those silencers work very well Yuki."
"yeah, I noticed, I never heard you!" Yuki replied as Gingka's helmet retracted. "I came here because I had to tell you something, in private if we can"
"alright, see you guys in a few minutes dad!" Gingka called, leading the way into the bushes.
Ok, so now that we have the other nine into the fun here, I should be introducing a new one in each chapter at least, maybe more. Also, I am considering making a website, so I can post all of the pictures of my OC's on there. If I do, I will put the link on my profile page, and give an alert for it in here and my other stories. Just in case it isn't clear from the story, the ones I have shown so far are:
Stormflight (Gingka)
Wildwind (Kyoya)
Firearrow (Kenta)
Cosmicbark (Yuki)
Dragonfang (Ryuga)
Also, I picked their names specifically, so that they had something to do with the blader himself. With this information in mind, it should not be that hard to figure out who the rest of them are, and if you can get them all correct, you get a virtual cookie! Although really, half of them are already named, and here are the reasons for their names, of you want to bother reading them.
Stormflight: I picked this name for Gingka because, in one of my stories, he has a special move called "Lightning Strike Storm" so, using that, and the name of his first Pegasus, (Storm Pegasus) and the fact that Pegasus has wings and flies a lot, there is the reason for his name.
Wildwind: this one is quite simple, Kyoya uses some crazy awesome tornadoes in battle, Leone is a lion, lions are wild animals, you can figure out the rest.
Firearrow: this one is also simple, Sagittario is an archer, archers shoot arrows, his special move is Flame Claw until he gets Flash Sagittario, but even that one uses fire to attack.
Cosmicbark: now this one is a bit more complex. Yuki studies the stars a lot, that is where the Cosmic part comes in. the second part, Anubis is a dog-headed Egyptian god, dogs bark, and so, by combining the two, you get Cosmicbark.
Dragonfang: easy, Ryuga means Dragon's Fang in Japanese. This name also references L-Drago.
