## Biography

### The Missing Data Weapons

A meteorite, sent by Emperor Galfa, gets destroyed by Dendoh and Leo Circle as it was heading towards earth. However, the pieces of the meteorite fall all over the planet with one of them crashing in Africa. One of the pieces bursts open when GEAR tries to claim it from the sea and reveals a Professional Machine named Virus. As Virus is fighting against Dendoh, Althea wakes the rest of the Professional Machine from the other meteorites. The meteorite that in Africa bursts open to reveal a Professional Machine named Crash. Crash joins up with Virus and the rest of the Professional Machines to surround Dendoh. Upon Althea’s command, the Professional Machines attack all at once where Crash fired missiles from it’s forearms at Dendoh. Dendoh gets damaged from the fight, so GEAR sends out their fighter jets to shoot at the Professional Machines. Vegas arrives at a nearby island and tells Hokuto and Ginga to land on the island and conceal themselves with a sandstorm created from Dendoh’s turbines. Vegas then creates a hologram of Dendoh with a device to trick Althea and the Professional Machines into chasing after it.

### Zero Seconds Before Dendoh's Destruction

Crash and the other Machine Fighters follow Althea where they come across more of GEAR’s fighter jets only for Virus to destroy them. By sunset, Althea sends a message throughout the world for Ginga and Hokuto to meet up at a pinpoint location and threatens them to come or he’ll destroy earth’s major cities. Althea has Crash demonstrate it’s destructive power by shooting it’s Shoulder Laser Beams at an island, entirely destroying it. Althea and the Machine Fighter arrive at the pinpoint location, which is at another island, where Althea destroy one of GEAR’s monitoring satellites. Once the sun sets, Dendoh arrives while carrying a capsule containing a computer energy source to reclaim their lost Data Weapons. As soon as they arrive, Virus shoots at Dendoh and the other Machine Fighters attack after where Crash launches missiles from his forearms at the Gear Fighter. They all outnumber Dendoh, but Hokuto and Ginga continue to fight back. Althea figures out that Dendoh has no Data Weapons on it so he orders Bug to hold Dendoh down to the ground while he summons Viper Whip to destroy them. Before he could, though, Dendoh throws the capsule into the air and it unleashes the computer energy source to lure in all the Data Weapons, especially Viper Whip. Hokuto and Ginga reclaim Unicorn Drill and Leo Circle while Althea, after reclaiming Viper Whip, orders the rest of the Machine Fighters to get the other Data Weapons where he orders Crash to follow him to get Bull Horn. Dendoh manages to escape Bug’s grip so Althea orders it to join him and Crash into getting Bull Horn. Hokuto and Ginga manage to save and claim Flare Dragon from Virus and Hang but when they then save and claim Gatling Boar from Error and Lock, Virus and Hang join up with Crash and Bug and the four Machine Fighters hold down Bull Horn to allow Althea to claim it. Not willing to let Althea claim Bull Horn, Ginga and Hokuto activate Final Attack with Leo Circle and launch an energy saw as Ogre. However, upon Althea’s command, Crash flies off and gets in the way of the Final Attack to sacrifice itself to shield Ogre. Once hit by the Final Attack, Crash gets destroyed, allowing Althea to fully claim Bull Horn for himself.
