Ten years after the Jamahl Empire fell, a new threat, the Melzard tribe, emerges. At the revamped Earth Academia called Cosmo Academia, Takuya Kai and Guru work on a new generation of Insect-Powered Powered Armor suits.

With the new team in place, the Melzard's schemes for Earth have reached a dead end.

The New Generation B-Fighters:

  • Kouhei Toba/B-Fighter Kabuto: The Hero; an Ordinary High School Student who becomes involved in the fight against evil.
  • Kengo Tachibana/B-Fighter Kuwaga: Big Lancer; a student inititally bitter with Kouhei for taking the mantle of B-Fighter Kabuto instead of him. However, he does warm up to our hero.
  • Ran Ayukawa/B-Fighter Tentou: Smart Chick; she is so involved with technology that she is naive on natural matters.

Our heroes are soon joined by:
