XD ima back! Man, Gingka was hard to catch!

Zero: Where is Gingka-san? You caught up to him and convinced him?

Me: Well…

-banging sounds are heard in background, along with yelling-

Me: Yeah, I did! He is occupied at the moment though, so you still get to do the disclaimer.

Zero: Ok! GalaxyPegasus14 does not own Metal Fight Beyblade.

Me: And, for your guys's information, this chapter takes place about a week after the last one. I am trying to finish up this story and have mild writer's block, I really want to get to the next story as well. Also, there is an amazing story I have been reading recently called "Times Change" by mystery girl2.0. The chapters are kinda short, but the grammar is flawless, at least as far as I can tell, and the authoress updates practically every day, sometimes two or three chapters in a day. It feels kinda weird to be the only person reviewing on this story, so go read it and review. Anyway, enjoy this chapter, which is dedicated to and her sisters for being amazing readers!

It was about a week after the DNA attack. Gingka and Ryuga were still in the hospital, but were recovering rapidly. Yuki, with Eito, Kaito, Kenta, Madoka, and Maru's help, had almost completed the repairs on all of the Steel Warrior systems, and were putting the finishing touches on the Stormflight and Dragonfang systems.

"Hand me that last piece, would you?" Yuki pointed to the one remaining section of metal still lying in place on the blueprints. Kenta held it in place as Yuki melted the edges with the blowtorch, securing them together.

"There! All done!" Yuki exclaimed, pressing the button that folded up the system.

Everyone held their breaths as the Stormflight helmet began folding up, retracting perfectly into place as it was supposed to.

"Yahoo! Great job guys! High-fives for everyone!" Yuki exclaimed, smacking hands with everyone else in the room.

Kyoya, hearing the commotion, came inside and got a high five as well. "What's the celebration?" he asked.

Yuki grinned and wordlessly pointed to the row of small metal objects lined up on the table.

Kyoya's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "That quickly?" he exclaimed as Kenta stepped over and handed him the Wildwind system.

"Well, when you have such a great team that at least has some knowledge about technological stuff, it goes pretty quickly." Yuki replied, clipping the Cosmicbark system to the back of his belt, Kenta and Kyoya following suit.

"Madoka, I'll let you handle the Stormflight system, you can give it to Gingka or keep it from him until he gets out of the hospital." Yuki said, handing the brunette the small metal box.

"Got it, I think I'll go see him and decide it that way." Madoka replied, carefully tucking it into her jacket pocket.

"While you're at it, take Kenta with you, he can handle Ryuga and the Dragonfang system." Yuki said, handing Kenta said object.

"Okay! See you guys in a bit!" Madoka and Kenta waved as they took off for the hospital.

"Kyoya, come here." Yuki gestured towards the back of the room as Kaito and the others left as well.

Kyoya raised an eyebrow and followed the younger blader as he stepped over towards a set of large crates.

Yuki pressed a button on the lid of the crate and it opened, making a hissing noise as it released. Kyoya instantly recognized the cooling system inside the crate, although this one was larger.

"That big enough for you?" Yuki asked, pointing to the four large metal cylinders inside. "Madoka and the others don't know about this, but I did manage to supersize them, like you asked."

Kyoya grinned. "Yeah, that should do it. I even already set up the basics for the mission, the DNA won't know what hit them!"

"Is that why you have had Titi and Chris in Metal Bey City almost all week?"

"Yeah, spying. The DNA has gathered nearly all of their forces in the city, and seem to be preparing to take over Japan. This obviously means that their base is practically unguarded, and all we should have to do is plant these in the basement, or at least in their robotics lab. Either way, if we can take out even just the robotics lab, it will be a huge advantage to us. I would of course, prefer to take out their entire base, but that may not be possible."

"Yeah I don't have enough materials to make more of these, but there are sixteen total here, use them wisely." Yuki closed the crate.

"We will." Kyoya promised. "Just be ready to help me load them into a helicopter at a moment's notice, I'm going to go call Titi and Chris back, and then I'll set up a team to do this."

"Got it, Gingka will be complaining about this though you know."

Kyoya snorted. "Well, he cant exactly do anything about that at the moment, and he doesn't know about it."

"Yeah, good point. I'll go distribute these to the rest of our forces," Yuki grabbed the Steel Warrior systems off the table, "and then we should be ready to go."

Kyoya smirked and walked out the door. "Oh yes, we will be ready." he pulled out his cellphone and dialed Chris's number.

"Gingka? Ryuga?" Madoka said, walking into the room. Both bladers were sitting up in bed, Ryuga staring out the window, and Gingka absorbed in some book.

"Hey Madoka!" Gingka exclaimed, looking up from the book he was reading.

Ryuga only grunted in acknowledgement, nodding to Kenta as the Sagittario blader walked over and sat down.

"You doing okay?" Madoka sat down and placed her hand on the redhead's arm.

Gingka nodded. "Yeah, this book is 'mildly entertaining' as Ryuga put it, which means it's pretty good. How is the recovery work going? Kyoya was in here earlier and wouldn't mention anything about it."

Madoka pulled the small metal box out of her pocket and laid it down slowly on the table. "Pretty good, Yuki has all of them repaired already, he asked me to bring you yours." she said, watching to see how he would react.

Gingka raised an eyebrow. "Already? That was quick, considering it has only been about a week."

"Well, he had help from me and a few others…"Madoka laughed.

"So that's why it was finished so quickly!" Gingka exclaimed with a grin. He set the book down on the side table next to him and gestured to Madoka. "Come here so I can give you a hug."

Madoka smiled and obeyed, the words being more of an order than a request. "I was so worried about you." she whispered.

"I know." Gingka replied quietly. "my dad told me you fainted when he found my helmet in the rubble."

Madoka began crying quietly, burying her face in Gingka's shoulder.

Gingka stroked his wife's hair gently, pulling her as close as he could. Madoka felt a sudden tickle in her stomach, and jumped, startling Gingka as well.

"You okay, Madoka?" Gingka asked.

"Yeah, something just startled me." Madoka replied.

"What was it?"

"I don't know, I thought you were tickling me."

"Madoka, one of my hands was on your back and the other was on your head, I couldn't have tickled you and I didn't."

"True. I wonder what it was then…" Madoka trailed off, tapping her chin thoughtfully with one finger, a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh well, maybe you will figure it out later."

"Yeah, hopefully." Madoka muttered, sitting back down next to Gingka's bed and grabbing his hand.

"So, how's it going?" Kenta asked, trying to start a conversation.

Ryuga opened his eyes. "Fine." he said simply, before closing his eyes again and reassuming his normal indifferent appearance.

"Oh, here, Yuki wanted me to give you this." Kenta held out the Dragonfang system.

Ryuga opened one eye, looked at the shining object in Kenta's hand, and shrugged. "Just leave it on the side table."

"Okay." Kenta muttered. "You know, you could at least try to be a bit more friendly."

"Why?" Ryuga responded without opening his eyes.

"Because, you are so antisocial!"

"So?"

"People don't like that!"

"So?"

Ryuga's one-word answers were beginning to annoy Kenta. "Ryuga, look at me!" he ordered.

"Why?"

"Because I said so." Kenta growled.

Ryuga sighed and opened his eyes, drilling them into Kenta's.

Kenta clenched his fist, but held his ground against the glare. "Look Ryuga, we practically share summer, can't you at least have a simple conversation? You are always off by yourself, and half the time, you don't even listen to Gingka! You said you would join us, but you are still acting like you are on your own! Well I've got news for you Ryuga, you aren't! Now, if you really mean it, then you have to prove it!"

Ryuga seemed surprised at the sudden outburst, as did Gingka and Madoka, who were looking at Kenta with a mixture of shock and awe.

"You know kid, I almost regretted passing down my power and sharing seasons with you, but now I don't." Ryuga grinned, his eyes almost glowing with pleasure, which was a rare sight.

"Was that a compliment, Ryuga?" Gingka laughed.

Ryuga's eyes reassumed their usual cold glare as the blader turned his attention to the grinning redhead. "No, it wasn't." he growled.

"Oh yeah? I don't believe you. Look at Kenta." Gingka replied.

Ryuga snapped his gaze over to the green-haired blader, who was still in shock, still not quite believing the huge compliment he had just gotten from the Dragon Emperor.

"Hey, snap out of it kid." Ryuga snapped his fingers in front of Kenta's face.

"Huh? What?" Kenta snapped out of his daze. "Did you really mean that, Ryuga?"

The white-haired blader shrugged. "Maybe." he muttered, avoiding everyone's gazes.

"Thanks Ryuga!" Kenta hugged the older blader, who stiffened and let out a sort of surprised grunt.

"Hey, when do we get out of here?" Gingka asked suddenly as Kenta stepped back.

"Depends, how are you feeling?" Madoka replied.

"My back is a bit sore, but otherwise I'm fine."

"I'll ask the nurse about it." Kenta volunteered.

"What about you Ryuga?" Madoka asked as the green-haired blader left the room.

"I'm fine." Ryuga growled.

"That means he's a bit sore, but probably les so than me." Gingka translated.

"Huh?" Madoka was confused.

"You work this closely with Ryuga, you learn his language. It was the tone of his voice that gave it away."

"And how does the tone of my voice tell you how I'm feeling?" Ryuga asked sarcastically.

"You didn't sound annoyed when you said you were fine, if you actually were perfectly fine, you would have been annoyed or might not have replied with anything more than a grunt." Gingka smirked.

Ryuga rolled his eyes as Kenta returned with the nurse. After Madoka reported their conditions and the nurse checked the information on her clipboard, she left to get the doctor.

"Does that mean we can go?" Ryuga sounded very annoyed.

"Almost, it just means the doctor has to give his okay before you can." Madoka replied. "And Gingka, you aren't allowed to train yet, being released from the hospital doesn't mean that."

The redhead instantly shut his mouth. "Fine, but the same goes for Ryuga as well then."

"WHAT?" Ryuga almost leapt out of his bed. Gingka returned the nearly red-eyed glare.

"Geez, calm down guys! I haven't even finished repairing your beys yet anyway!" Madoka exclaimed.

"WHAT?" Both bladers exclaimed, staring at Madoka.

"And I'm not even going to start until you guys are better." Madoka said, putting her foot down. "That means no training!"

"Heh, I can train without a bey." Ryuga smirked, crossing his arms behind his head and looking triumphantly at Gingka, who stuck his tongue out at him.

"Not if you are hogtied to a tree." Madoka growled, looking almost as scary as the golden-eyed blader himself.

Ryuga yelped at the death glare sent at him by Madoka and hid underneath his pillows.

"We were just joking Madoka," Gingka laughed nervously, "Right Ryuga?"

"She's gonna kill me!" came a muffled whine.

"Madoka? You can stop glaring now. Okay, seriously, stop it. Madoka? Snap out of it, please? Hey!" Gingka snapped his fingers in front of her face.

"That goes for you too, got it?" Madoka growled, turning her gaze onto the redhead.

Gingka yelped and threw a pillow at her face. Madoka laughed and caught it. "Man, for supposedly being fearless, you two sure do get scared easily."

"I wasn't scared." Ryuga smirked, coming out from under his pillow and resuming his indifferent pose. "I just didn't want to make Hagane look as stupid as he usually does."

"Wha- You did not just say that!" Gingka turned to glare at his rival.

"Yes, yes I did." Ryuga looked extremely pleased with himself.

"Take it back!" Gingka demanded.

Ryuga grinned. "No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to. Plus, I meant it."

"Umm, guys?" Madoka and Kenta tried to get their attention.

"You're the one who looks stupid!"

"Oh yeah? Prove it!"

"Fine then! You always try to look all great, but you aren't!"

"What did you say?"

"I said you aren't that great!"

"Yeah right! Pay attention to who you're talking to, Hagane!"

"I know who I'm talking to! I'm talking to Mr. Ryuga Stupid-face!"

"And the maturity of both of them just went out the window…" Madoka sweat dropped.

"What did you just call me, pony boy?"

"What, are your ears not working right worm man?"

"Guys?" Madoka and Kenta's voices were barely above a whisper as sparks flew between the eyes of the two rivals.

"Uh-oh. Guys, seriously stop! Volcano Madoka is about to blow!" Kenta exclaimed, trying to get the attention of the two.

"WOULD YOU TWO STOP ARGUING? YOU'RE ACTING LIKE A PAIR OF SQUABBLING TODDLERS AND I WONT HEAR IT ANYMORE!" Madoka exploded.

Gingka and Ryuga yelped and hid under Gingka's bed.

"You started it." Ryuga said.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"DOn't make me yell again." Madoka growled, poking her head under the bed.

Gingka and Ryuga yelped again, crashed into each other under the bed, and scuttled to hide as Kyoya entered with the doctor.

"What's all the commotion in here? I heard yelling from outside as I was coming over!" Kyoya asked, looking around.

"DOn't tell me they escaped." the doctor sweat dropped.

"No, they're just hiding under the bed from the unconquerable wrath and fear of Madoka." Kenta laughed, pointing to the brunette, who was breathing deeply and trying to calm herself down.

Kyoya raised an eyebrow. "So much for fearless, but I know what you mean."

"Guys, you can come out now. I'm done." Madoka said.

"No, we're just fine under here, thank you!" Gingka's muffled voice came from under the bed. "Mmph, Ryuga, get your foot out of my face!"

"My foot is not in your face!"

"Then what's this?"

"Ouch! Why did you pinch my toe?"

"It was in my face!"

"Don't you guys dare start arguing again." Madoka growled, peeking under the bed.

Kyoya heard a yelp, then a thud as the wall on the far side of the room shook. A few seconds later, both bladers stood up, rubbing the tops of their heads.

"I'll just go now, they can leave as well." the doctor whispered.

"Ow…" Gingka muttered.

"You said it." Ryuga growled.

"Are you guys okay?" Madoka asked quietly.

"I think so…" Gingka stopped rubbing his head andbent down to examine the wall. "Hey Ryuga, we left a couple of dents!" he exclaimed.

"We did?" Ryuga got down as well. "Wow, we hit the wall hard!"

Madoka came over to examine the wall. "Sorry guys, hopefully you wont argue again now, right?"

Gingka and Ryuga glanced at each other, then back at Madoka, and nodded.

"Yesh mish Madoka." Gingka said, trying to imitate a toddler.

Madoka sweat dropped. "You guys are crazy."

Ryuga opened his mouth to say something, then snapped it shut again.

Gingka grinned and stood up.

"Well, good to see you on your feet again." Kyoya said.

Gingka grinned. "You did leave some of the DNA for me to defeat, right?"

Kyoya smirked. "Maybe, and maybe not. We will know in about five hours."

Gingka raised an eyebrow. "You're serious?"

"Entirely."

Me: Okay, so I said I had writer's block at the beginning of the chapter, and this is partially because I came up with two different ideas to end this story. So, I am going to let you guys vote. I may decide to use the other one even if everyone votes for one of these endings, but this will hopefully help me decide. Ending #1: The Steel Warriors completely take out the DNA, leaving only a small remnant to be the antagonists in the next story. Ending #2: The DNA wins and takes over Japan, forcing the SWs to flee and create a secret base elsewhere to gather their resources for the final attempt at defeating the DNA. No matter which one of these choices ends up being the story ending, the SWs will have a secret base in the next chapter anyway :P (It's kinda the point, of the DNA could find them, Yuki's Lab would happen all over again, but maybe worse!)
