## Biography

### The Missing Data Weapons

Emperor Galfa sends down a meteorite towards earth which Hokuto and Ginga manage to destroy with Dendoh and Leo Circle. The meteorite’s piece fall over earth where one of them lands in the Sahara Desert. One of the meteorites breaks open to reveal a Professional Machine, named Virus, who starts to fight against Dendoh. Althea witnesses and wakes up the other Professional Machine from the rest of the crashed meteorites. The meteorite that crashed in the desert breaks open and reveals another Professional Machine named Lock. Lock, and the rest of the Professional Machines, head to Virus’ location where they outnumber Dendoh. Upon Althea’s command, the Professional Machines start attacking Dendoh all at once where Lock launches it’s Chest Harpoon at the Gear Fighter, damaging the mid-body. GEAR sends out their fighter jets to help save Dendoh while Vegas arrives at a nearby island to help Hokuto and Ginga. She tells them to land on the island to create a sandstorm with Dendoh’s turbines to conceal themselves. Once doing so, Vegas creates a hologram of Dendoh to trick Althea and the Professional Machines into leaving the area.

### Zero Seconds Before Dendoh's Destruction

Lock and the other Machine Fighters continue following Althea when chasing after the fake Dendoh. They come across more of GEAR’S Fighters but Virus manages to destroy them. Later, Althea sends a message out for Ginga and Hokuto to meet up at a pinpoint location otherwise they’ll attack the major cities on earth. As they wait at the pinpoint location on an island, Hokuto and Ginga arrive with Dendoh and a capsule containing a computer energy source. Virus shoots at Dendoh and the rest of the Machine Fighters start attacking afterwards where Lock tries to smash down onto Dendoh, only for the GEAR Fighter to dodge. All the Machine Fighters try to outnumber Dendoh, but Hokuto and Ginga retaliate with Dendoh’s turbines. However, Althea orders Bug to hold down Dendoh by the leg turbines, allowing him to summon Viper Whip to perform the Final Attack on Dendoh. Fortunately, Dendoh throws the capsule into the air where it unleashes the computer energy source and lures in all the Data Weapons, especially Viper Whip. Althea reclaims Viper Whip after Hokuto and Ginga reclaim Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle, but he decides not to waste the opportunity and orders the Machine Fighters to get the rest of Data Weapons where he orders Lock and Error to chase after Gatling Boar. After Hokuto saves Flare Dragon from Virus and Hang, he claims Flare Dragon and the two pilots set their sights on Gatling Boar, who is still being chased by Lock and Error. Hokuto activates Firewall to create a barrier between the Machine Fighters and Gatling Boar, allowing Ginga to claim the Data Weapon. However, Althea manages to claim Bull Horn where Crash sacrifices itself to protect him from Dendoh’s Leo Circle Final Attack. Lock and the rest of the Machine Fighters surround Dendoh as Ogre performs Bull Horn Final Attack. Dendoh barely dodges the attack with it’s turbines and Hokuto sends out Dragon Flare to clear a path through the Machine Fighters. As Dendoh makes it’s escape, Althea and the Machine Fighters chase after them where Hang knocks the Gear Fighter down into the ocean.

### Decisive Match! Dendoh vs. Ogre

After Hang knocks Dendoh into the ocean, Althea and the rest of the Machine Fighters dive in to finish off the Gear Fighter. Fortunately, GEAR manages to reclaim Dendoh before Althea and the Machine Fighters could find it. Ogre suddenly runs low on battery, so Althea orders the Machine Fighters to continue looking while he goes back to Spiral City to recharge. Later, Althea arrives back with Ogre, fully charged, and meets up with the Machine Fighters at an island, where they could find Dendoh. Althea tells them to force Dendoh out if they can’t find him by destroying Hokuto and Ginga’s hometown. The Machine Fighter make their way to the town where they fight through GEAR’s defense unit. Virus and Error manage to destroy some of the jets of the defense unit while Lock destroys one of the unit’s battleships with his Cheat Harpoon. As soon as the Machine Fighters make it to the town, they all start destroying everything they see where Lock destroys an area with it’s body heat. Later, Hokuto and Ginga finally arrive in the city with Dendoh, this time with a plan to destroy all the Machine Fighters at once. After Dendoh is equipped with the Unicorn Drill, the Machine Fighters begin fighting with Dendoh where Lock shoots his harpoon only for the Gear Fighter to dodge it. Hang strikes Dendoh with it’s spear, so Hokuto and Ginga fly Dendoh into the ocean with all the Machine Fighters chasing after them. Dendoh makes it to the launching tunnel where Lock enters inside with Bug and Hang. Once Virus and Error enter as well, Dendoh uses Unicorn Drill Final Attack in the launching tunnel with all the Machine Fighters lined up. Lock bumps into Bug as the spiral beam reaches them and hits the two, destroy them both.
