XD Okay guys, I'm back! This update, like I said in the previous chapter, is late, but it's still here! XD Oh, and there are a few replies to guest reviews I forgot to put in the last chapter, so Ayra and Dequincy, be sure to read the A/N at the end of this chapter.

Ryuga: GalaxyPegasus14 does not own Metal Fight Beyblade, she only owns her OCs: Anashi, Arashi, Takeshi, and Eiichi. She also owns the Warriors.

"So, we know he succeeded, but we don't know who it was?"

"Yes brother, that's our problem, especially with this antidote they somehow managed to create."

"Hmm, well, we need to know somehow. Have squads search for the spot where it happened and we can check the security recordings in that area."

"How will they know its the right spot?"

"Enzo, as far as I know, this is the first time we have successfully taken out one of the Warriors. The body should still he there, and if its not, there will be blood stains for sure. Now get on it, i have other work to do."

"Got it." Enzo turned and left.

"Now, to see how Ian is doing." Argo said, clicking a few icons on his screen. A few moments later, his brother's face showed up on the screen.

"Yes, Argo?"

"Anything there?"

"It's still as quiet as it was fifteen years ago when we first came here, they have completely cleared out."

"Good. Keep it up."

"Argo, if there hasn't been anything here since we took over, why do you still have us stationed here?"

"Because, that was where they were before."

"Argo, they have been hiding from us for fifteen years now, you really think they are still in the area when we are obviously here? Don't tell me you are afraid because of that call you got five hours after we took over."

"Of course I'm not! I just think we need to be a bit careful around that area." Argo snarled.

"Fine, fine! I just think we should reconsider our placement of forces." Ian said before signing off.

-Argo's POV-

Yeah, it's been fifteen years. But, the Warriors are still out there, and no matter how many times i try, no matter how many times Merci or someone else assures me that we have won, i cant get the thought out of my mind.

"As long as there is one Steel Warrior, one true blader left, you can't win. You may have control of Japan, but just remember this: good always triumphs in the end. You can knock us down as many times as you want, but we will stand back up. You can close in on us and leave us with seemingly no way out, but we will find one. You can kill all of us except for one, but that one will continue where the others left off. So, in the end, you can't win. We will back down for the moment to regather our resources, but we will be back. Remember that, Argo."

The thought, those words, haunt me with every step i take. That is why i have Ian stationed with a whole garrison in Koma Village. That is why i have to find them all, take them all out, and then we can move to get the barricade that the rest of the world has placed around us. We will break out of Japan, and we will win. The world will be ours, nothing can stop us, and nobody even has the chance at trying, except for those pesky Steel Warriors. But, one by one, our snipers and robots will take them out. We just have to wait long enough, they aren't perfect, nobody is, we just have to wait for them to slip up, and when they do, it will all he over for them. We just have to wait...

"Hurry up Arashi!"

"Hold on a sec! I'm coming!"

Arashi and Anashi skipped from rock to rock across the river, Ryo following more slowly with Takeshi and Eiichi.

"Yahoo! This. Is. So. Much. Fun!" Anashi exclaimed, leaping easily from rock to rock. "Come on Arashi, don't tell me that you have suddenly become old!"

"I haven't, but i think it's the stupid Evil Gene slowing me down." Arashi replied.

"I thought you said the antidote took care of it?" Anashi paused her jumping, balancing carefully on a rock.

"Well, it at least keeps me from turning evil, but when you get the injection, it literally knocks you right out."

"Out as in unconscious?"

"Yeah, pretty much. I don't know how long, but it does, and the antidote knocks you out eventually, it took about thirty minutes for me to get from where i was to the DNA headquarters and i fainted almost the moment i got there."

"Your guys' names definitely fit you!" Ryo called from halfway across the stream as the Hagane twins reached the other side.

"Huh?" The two were confused.

"Your names both mean Storm, you talk up a storm, and you are both quick, almost just like your father."

"Tell us more about him, would you grandpa?" Anashi asked.

Ryo smiled. "Let me get across this river and we will break for lunch, I'll tell you while we're eating."

"Okay!" The twins quickly found a spot and began setting up while Ryo finished getting across.

"Okay, so what do you want to know?" Ryo asked once they had all settled down underneath a tree.

"Well, just what was he like in general?" Anashi asked.

"Well, he was always friendly, hyperactive when he was younger, and quick. After he became World Champion and all that, i would be battling him and his bey would be on the opposite side of the stadium as mine, and then i would blink and Fireblaze would literally be landing at my feet."

"Wow, that fast?" Arashi was surprised.

"Yeah, his bey was always an attack type."

"What was his bey exactly? I mean, i know it is a Pegasus, but what specific Pegasus?" Anashi asked.

"Well, unless something happened, it's currently a Synchrom Samurai Pegasus."

"Samurai? Like my dad's bey?" Eiichi spoke up.

"Yes, Zero and Gingka's beys are the only two that have the Samurai crystal wheel, and, until your beys were created, they were the only Ifraid and the only Pegasus around. Gingka is actually the only one of the Legendary Bladers that has a Synchrom as far as i know."

"What about my dad?" Takeshi asked.

Ryo grinned. "Where Gingka was always the hotheaded attack type, your father Kyoya was the generally calm defense type. He never did actually defeat Gingka, but he and his Fang Leone were not an opponent to be taken lightly. Your father could use his bey to create literal tornadoes at will, for either defense or attack, whichever he wanted to do."

"Wow cool!" Anashi exclaimed.

"Well, now that we're all done eating, let's be off!" Ryo exclaimed.

"How long are we going to be out here, anyway?" Arashi asked.

Ryo shrugged. "Well, where we are going now is up and down this river, and that will take a week, maybe more. Then we are going to the mountain, and getting there could take another two weeks, plus exploring it and getting back, we could be gone for more than a month!"

"Wow, that's quite a while!" Eiichi exclaimed.

"Well, i have been gone for a whole year before." Ryo said.

"Yeah, you missed us turning 13." Anashi said.

"And me leaving." Arashi said.

Ryo laughed. "True, i did. But it was for an important reason."

"What is the point of exploring Japan anyway?" Takeshi asked as they began walking downstream.

Ryo looked up at the sky. "Gingka is an only child, it's hard having him within contact easily for just over twenty years and then not hearing for him for a long time. Even though you know that he is an adult and can take care of himself, the instinct of a parent really never goes away, and, especially when he's up against something as dangerous as the DNA, you really want to know if he's okay sometimes. So, i am searching for him, for the Steel Warriors."

"Cool!" Takeshi exclaimed.

A rustle in the bushes caught their attention, and Anashi and Arashi went over to investigate, their beys at the ready. The rest of the group followed close behind.

"Get down!" Ryo ordered as he heard a familiar sound: that of machine guns firing.

Arashi, who had heard the sound before, instantly turned pale, while the others wondered what was going on.

"Into the bushes! Now!" Ryo shoved everyone underneath several nearby bushes, just in time.

A whole squad of DNA robots backed out of the bushes across the river, then used their jetpacks to get over the river, where they stopped what was apparently a retreat. The group was in a tightly-packed double row, firing their machine guns at something that the group in the bushes could not see.

"What are those?" Eiichi whispered, frightened.

"DNA robots." Arashi and Ryo replied at the same time.

"The DNA is here?" Anashi exclaimed quietly.

"I told you, their forces are practically everywhere." Ryo replied.

"Look there! What's that?" Takeshi pointed to two blazing lines of golden fire that had emerged from the bushes and were occupied with surrounding the robots, which were obviously trying to avoid them.

"They're beys!" Anashi exclaimed, catching sight of a spinning object at the center of one of the flames.

"Sagittario and Quetzalcoatl, to be exact." Ryo said.

"Huh? How do you know that?"

"I recognize the bey of a Legend when i see one, Anashi." Ryo replied.

"What's that sound?" Takeshi asked.

The air had suddenly been filled with a rather loud whirring sound, almost like a giant fan spinning ultra fast. Accompanying this sound was one that sounded like a jet plane, as well as a crackling, buzzing sound, all of which filled the air.

All the robots instantly spread out, scattering themselves to create a different formation.

"What is that?" Anashi was surprised as a large whirling object, about five feet in diameter, emerged from the forest. The edges of it were one solid ring of flame, with a golden ring around a silver center that crackled with electricity. Within seconds, it mowed down all of the robots.

Ryo gasped. "That's a signature Steel Warrior technique! Firearrow! Lizardflight!" He stood up and waved as the disc split apart, two gold-clad figures sliding back for several feet before straightening and catching their beys out of the air.

The two Warriors looked around, soon spotting Ryo standing in the bushes.

"Mr. Hagane! What are you doing here?" One, who had a straight bar down his mask that widened into an arrow shape at his chin, asked.

"Just exploring with a few teens. Get up guys!" Ryo pulled Anashi to her feet as the two Warriors walked over.

"Well, i recognize everyone except for you. I am Firearrow." Kenta said, pointing at Eiichi.

"And i'm Lizardflight." Titi said, stepping up behind Kenta.

"Well, you guys know Anashi, Arashi, and Takeshi. This is Eiichi-"

"Kurogane. I can tell that much." Firearrow finished for Ryo.

"We should probably be getting back." Lizardflight spoke up, taking a couple of steps back.

"Yeah, you're right. See you guys later!" Firearrow also stepped back.

"Activate jetpacks." The two Warriors ordered.

Takeshi and the others watched in awe as the two took off, leaving only a blazing streak and a few scorched leaves behind them.

"Well, let's keep going then." Ryo said, walking off in the direction they had been headed before.

"Why didn't you ask them where their base was?" Eiichi asked.

Ryo face palmed. "Why didn't i think of that!" He exclaimed in frustration.

"Yeah, why didn't you?" Takeshi laughed.

"Well, nothing we can do about it now. Too bad they were out of sight before we could see which way they went." Ryo said.

"Well, you said you narrowed it down, so we shouldn't have that much to do, right?" Anashi spoke up as they set off.

Yeah, hopefully not." Ryo fell silent.

For nearly the next two hours, the group walked on in silence. Ryo was constantly checking the sky for any sign of a Warrior. By nightfall, nothing else had shown up. The group set up camp in silence, and only when they had finished eating dinner did anyone speak a word.

"So, how far have we gone today?" Anashi asked, getting bored of the silence.

"Give me a few minutes and I'll figure it out." Ryo replied, pulling out his map.

The camp again fell silent.

"Hey guys, want to battle?" Arashi asked suddenly, jumping up from where he was sitting.

"Yeah! Let's do it!" Takeshi replied, standing up.

"Go ahead guys, just don't make too much noise." Ryo said as the group walked off.

"We won't!" Anashi promised, running off after her brother and friends.

"So fired up, just like you." Ryo chuckled looking up at the sky, which was a blazing red due to the sunset. "They are becoming powerful, but they need a strong leader. Zero does have the capabilities to lead, but he doesn't know how to use them. We need you to come back, Gingka."

-Meanwhile-

"Okay, are you guys ready?" Anashi asked, standing on one side of a clearing they had found.

"Yeah!" Takeshi and Eiichi raised their launchers, beys attached and ready to go.

"Ready, three!" Arashi started.

"Two!"

"One!"

"Let it Rip!"

"Get it Flame!"

"Not so fast! Go, Lightning!"

"Storm!"

"Guardian!"

Almost instantly, Arashi and Takeshi were teaming up against Anashi and Eiichi.

"Don't let him get away, Flame!" Anashi called, her Pegasus chasing down Takeshi's Leone.

"Hey guys, watch this!" Eiichi called. "Burning Upper!" his bey circled the clearing as fast as it could go, in reality a poor imitation of his father's special move, but an example of the younger Kurogane's skill nonetheless.

"Go Lightning!" Arashi sent his bey slamming into Eiichi's, knocking it clear across the clearing.

"Aww man! I really wish I could shoot out flames like my father's bey!" Eiichi exclaimed.

"Yeah, I wonder how he does it!" Anashi said.

"Oh well, we don't know any fancy tricks, just straight out battling!" Arashi said, attacking Anashi's Flame.

"Yeah! Don't let him beat you, Flame!"

"Keep going, Lightning!"

"Guardian Ifraid! Push him back!"

"Don't let him defeat you, Storm Leone!"

Arashi and Anashi's beys pushed against each other, neither one able to gain the upper hand, both evenly matched in skill. The twins knew each other's attack patterns and defensive maneuvers like the back of their own hand, and neither one had beaten the other for a long time. Ryo stood, watching the battle, smiling at the thought of what these four teens could do if they were to reach Gingka's level. Even though not one of them had a special move, or even completely understood what one actually was, they already made a formidable opponent to go up against.

-Ryo's POV-

Just watching them, i can see the beginnings of the skill levels that their parents have attained. If only they had people to train them well. I could teach them all i know, but they probably already know it, with the exception of special moves. The only other person around anymore that could teach them anything useful is Zero or Ren, and Shinobu as well, now that he has been released from the DNA. All the others are gone. The Unbara brothers disappeared about three years ago, headed off to try escaping to the other countries around Japan to alert them and find out if our friends on other continents even know about our plight. Sakyo and Takanosuke both mysteriously disappeared soon after Gingka and Kyoya withdrew from the village, and nobody has seen or heard from them since. The group was very closely knit before they started disappearing, and Eito and Maru had even just gotten married a few years before they all left. Maru would have gone with Eito and Kaito, but she had just gotten pregnant, and her child is now a toddler. Madoka has been working lately helping Maru create a bey for the child, so that she can begin blading as soon as she is old enough to know to launch, not eat a bey. All of them, with the exception of Eiichi, are growing up with mothers that, although they know a lot about beys, don't have the skill level to teach their children the skills they need to follow in their fathers' footsteps and become champions, legends. If they could learn these skills, we would have an even more powerful force to help the Warriors. It will happen, we will win in the end, we just have to be patient and wait for some sort of signal. Warrior activity has definitely been picking up a lot over the past week, already we have seen four of them, and Arashi has seen five, if you count the one he, erm, injured.

"Hah! I win again!"

"No fair!"

Really, if they only had the training...

-Normal POV-

The battle ended with Anashi the winner, Arashi having been taken out by a combination attack from Takeshi and Eiichi. The group soon returned to their tents, and all were asleep within moments, tired from all the walking they had done that day.

Me: XD Alright! So, that was chapter 5! Oh, and to those of you who have read the previous A/Ns, you know what's coming in chapter 6! ;) Now, on to the replies to guest reviews!

Ayra, you should make an account, so that I can reply to your reviews through PM. XD Thanks for all of your reviews so far, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

Dequincy, that story idea you came up with is a great one, but I unfortunately can't do it, for two reasons: One, I have about 20 more ideas waiting for me after I finish this story, and two, I have not watched more than about half of the first season of the original series, so I don't know enough about it to write anything really in-detail. I would suggest that if Fanfiction continues to not let you get an account, that you submit the idea to JuniperGentle. She is an amazing authoress ho has written a couple of Beyblade/MFB crossovers, and she would definitely do a better job than I could. Another option is to write it and somehow send it to me, I could post it for you and give you the credit if you'd like! Sorry again that I can't write it myself, but if it ever gets written and posted, I'll read it for sure!

Next chapter: Arashi and the others (plus all of you guys) finally find out who nearly got himself killed! Which is especially a good thing for me, since I don't think I can stand all of these glares for much longer…

Gingka, Kyoya, Yuki, Chris, Dunamis, and Aguma: -still glaring-

Me: Ehehe, anyway, until next time, Let it Rip!
