- [Corona]: How could anything survive
living in a wasteland like this?
- [Igneous]: No wonder the Invectids have fought so hard for the Oracle Keys.
- [Magma]: I've been thinking and you know what?
I still don't buy it.
How can the Invectid people not know that it is Mantid
who is depriving them of their sunlight?
- Yes. How can an entire nation be so deceived?
- Easily. People hunger for order and leadership.
It's a ruler's duty not to use his people
to achieve his evil ambitions.
Mantid has the Invectids and Aqune under his power.
- It's true.
Whenever things got bad,
we'd focus on following Mantid's orders
so that one day we'd live in light once again.
- That could have been me.
I could have been the one the Invectids captured instead of Aqune.
But for fate,
I would have been the one devoted to Mantid right now.
- [Igneous]: Then it's clear we must capture Mantid's 2 Keys
if we are to stop his fiendish plans.
- [Magma]: And Aqune and Portia.
We'll rescue them too. - [Shadow]: Right!
- [Grasshop]: Even if you managed to get by Great Mantid's army
you'd fall into one of his many traps. I know.
He used to test his traps on me. How can you hope to overcome him?
- We'll need to ask our experts how to approach this.
Hero Quake and Hunter... What do you think?
- Well, I'm still against fighting with the Invectids.
- I agree.
- So how do we get back the Oracle Keys?
Are you willing to use your special powers to help us Quake?
Yes Hunter, I will.
With my Sword of Surrender!
- [Hunter]: You know, an awesome power like that
could have ended this war at any time.
Why haven't you used it before?
Why wait till now?
- I wasn't ready until now.
- [Shadow]: You weren't ready?
- Many years ago, I too, was a young, reckless warrior.
I fought fearlessly, without second thought,
to bring peace to the Inner World.
Too bad.
My rashness cost the life of many friends.
Then my power met its match.
In the midst of a terrific battle...
I discovered I was powerless over Mantid.
- As the sole survivor,
will you surrender now Quake
or join your friends in oblivion?
- Be warned, Mantid; I will hold nothing back.
In the name of my fallen comrades and their quest for peace
I will never stop battling.
I will never give up.
Prepare to meet the full force of my sword.
Behold...
The power of Sword of Surrender!
- Ahhh...!
Great Mantid...
It's over. I have vanquished your fighting spirit.
Tell me. Have you lost the will to fight?
[Evil chuckle]
It can't be.
- Fool!
You think you can take away my fighting spirit
with a blast of your pathetic sword?
Don't insult me with your toys!
[Battle cries]
[Clinking swords]
Quake, you believe that your fight
is one for justice and peace?
But your weak ideals and pretty words
will never defeat power like mine.
Never! [Quake screaming]
- Nooo...!
- That's an amazing story, Quake.
- [Magma]: Am I to understand that after losing the battle against Mantid,
you withdrew from fighting altogether?
- As I was telling you before...
I wasn't ready to face Mantid again.
Deep in the heart of humankind, lies the wish to defeat evil.
To help those in need.
To change the world into a better place.
We can't help wanting to see change happen
as quickly as possible.
But sometimes this haste can do great harm.
- [Shadow]: Still, how can you just sit by and do nothing?
- It was more difficult than you will ever know.
But I knew I wouldn't get another chance with Mantid.
I had to focus my power.
I had to lose my own fighting spirit.
That's right. I had given up wanting to win by beating my enemy.
What is the point of winning when together, we can achieve peace?
- That's cool.
- Once the 8 Spider Riders are together...
The Spirit Oracle will finally be able to release
the full power of her light,
illuminating all of the Inner World.
Only then will all 8 Spider Riders
be able to work together to put a halt to Mantid.
- 8 Spider Riders...
- There's me...
And there's Corona...
Lumen, Igneous,
Magma, Sparkle
and Aqune.
That's 7 Riders.
But who is the 8th one? - Could it be...?
- Mmm hmm.
[Sighing in amazement]
- Are you wearing a manacle?
[Giggling]
Then prove it.
- Believe me...
This old man has plenty more tricks up his sleeve
and can't wait to show them.
- [Buguese]: Great Mantid, you have ordered us back
before we had the chance to finish our work.
We were just closing in on the intruder, Quake.
- I have received a message from Dungobeet
that Quake has already joined forces with the Spider Riders.
Our enemy is preparing for attack.
- Then we must take the offensive.
- The time has come to unleash my ultimate weapon.
Dark Opal is now yours.
- Great Mantid, I will not fail this time.
With the might of Dark Opal in my hands
I will be able to finish off the Spider Riders once and for all.
- And I want you to take Aqune with you.
Together you will end the reign of humans over the Inner World.
For all time!
- I can already feel the tremendous surge of power!
Great Mantid, you have surpassed yourself with this weapon.
With my Dark Opal,
no one will be able to withstand my power.
No one!
Ha! Ha! Ha!
- Are you ready, Aqune? - Yes, Buguese.
[Evil chuckle]
- Fly my confident Buguese.
Enjoy your final battle.
The Spider Riders will have no idea what hit them.
- [All Riders]: Whaaat!?!
- [Corona]: Wow! I can't believe you're still a Spider Rider!
- [Lumen]: I thought you retired long ago.
- [Igneous]: Honestly, until I met you...
I thought you were a myth.
- [Magma]: I've always believed in you, Quake. And I can't wait to see you in action!
I won't leave your side ever! Cross my heart!
- I just want to say, I will be honoured to ride with you. - Let's get going.
[Cracking]
Oooh, my back! My back!
My back! Oooh, poor me.
I've hurt my back again.
- [Lumen]: We may have to carry him into battle.
- [Igneous]: I think we're going to need a stretcher.
- So now we'll be 8.
- Yes...
Once Aqune joins us
everything will be in place for the Spirit Oracle.
Are you ready, Hunter?
- Huh? - What's wrong?
- I was just thinking, Shadow,
do we really need to fight Mantid?
If we defeat him will that really bring peace to the Inner World?
- Now is not the time to waver.
We must prepare for battle.
- Of course, you're right.
- Hey, look! Up in the sky.
[Siren sounding] ♪♪♪
- [Igneous]: What is it?
- [Hunter]: A battle bug! - [Corona]: But it's so big!
- [Grasshop]: Whoa! Mantid's been busy
since I left the Big Four!
- [Magma]: I can't wait to fight it beside my hero, Quake!
- Ahh! We meet again, Spider Riders!
- [Magma]: Buguese!? - [Hunter]: What do you want?
- The time has come to rid the world of you.
- Wait! Mantid is lying to you, Buguese.
He's the one who has stolen the sunlight from your people.
- There is no need to fight!
- It's true. He's just using you to capture the Keys
so that he can destroy the Inner World.
- I'm aware of that.
- Huh?! You know?!
You're being used.
And you don't care?
- I am merely a soldier under Mantid's command.
Nothing more.
My job is to carry out his orders.
It is not my concern what his true plans are.
I have come to take the Keys from you by any means necessary.
What Mantid does with them is none of my business.
- Come on! Even if you capture all of the Oracle Keys,
Mantid will not return sunlight to your world.
- Even if that is true,
I can now return sunlight to our land with this Dark Opal.
I can even defeat Great Mantid if necessary.
I have paid a great price for this moment.
I abandoned my comrades.
I did this so the power of Dark Opal would be entrusted to me alone.
Now, hand over the Oracle Keys.
Or face Dark Opal's wrath! - Ahh...!
No way!
- Buguese will not negotiate. - We have no choice but to fight.
- What do you think?
- [Quake]: Don't ask me about it.
My back aches so much I can't think straight.
- Come on.
- Buguese is convinced that fighting us
to capture the Keys is the only way
to bring sunlight to his people.
There's no question his conviction is strong and true.
Too true to be defeated by my special attack.
- Then we must negotiate.
- What's wrong, Hunter Steele? Why don't you fight?!
If you think your cause is so just...
then you must prove it by defeating me!
- Buguese...
He's right! Let's ride!
- Huh? Really?
- If Buguese refuses to negotiate we have to fight.
But we'll use the battle to argue our point
since that's the only way to get through to him.
Are you with me?
- [Lumen]: Alright, fine. Count me in.
- Me too. - Alright!
- Arachna Power! ♪♪♪
- Arachna Power!
- Arachna Power!
- Arachna Power!
- Arachna Power!
- [All]: Spider Riders!
- But I want to help.
- Why don't you stay right here with me and watch. [Sigh of disappointment]
- Are you ready, Buguese?
- Here is my answer, Hunter!
[Battle cry]
- Firebolt!
There isn't a scratch on that beast.
- Don't give up, Igneous.
Aw man...
Why do we have to resort to fighting?
- [Shadow]: Hunter, concentrate on the battle! - You got it, partner!
- How frustrating for you, Hunter.
To know in your heart that fighting is not right
and yet to need all of your strength and focus to win.
Stay focused on your objective;
to win peace for the Inner World.
Do this and you will find a way.
- Come on, we're going in, everyone!
- [Lumen]: Got it! - Right, let's go!
- Calling all Spider Riders!
- [All]: Yeah!
- Lance of Light!
- Arrow of Light! - Crescent Darts!
- Flamethrower!
- Morningstar!
- As I thought. They're concentrating their fire on the cockpit!
- That did it! - Not bad!
- They underestimate Dark Opal.
Increase its power!
- [Aqune]: Right away.
- Something is very wrong.
I feel weak.
Aqune! She's in Dark Opal!
- Now's our chance! - [Lumen]: Attack!
- Don't do it!
- [Corona]: Noooo!
- We've got them.
- What's this? - It's a trap!
- Say good-bye, Spider Riders.
[All screaming]
[Expression of fear]
- [Both]: Ahh...!
[Gasping]
- [Sparkle]: Lumen! Igneous! - [Grasshop]: Magma!
- Hunter, no!
[Zapping]
Hunter! - It can't be!
- I don't give up that easily, Buguese!
Please, Spirit Oracle,
lend me your power again!
- Spirit Oracle?
Please help Hunter.
Help him!
Lend him your power!
♪♪♪
- Thank you, Oracle!
Oracle's light!
- Ah! So Hunter Steele...
You still control the 2 keys.
- Hmmm...
- Oh no! - [Magma]: What's happening?
- They're stealing her power!
- And we fell into the trap like foolish children!
- Hey, quit it! Stop!
[Expressions of pain]
- What are you doing?
I command you to stop this! That is an order!
- You are not my master.
- You dare disobey me, Aqune? Ah!
- The only orders I follow are those of Great Mantid.
- Is that so?
- They've stolen the last of Oracle's power!
- Why so upset, Buguese?
Mantid has the Oracle's power now, just as you wished.
What he does with that power is none of your business. Remember?
- Aqune!
- You gave Mantid the power to control me.
Did you really think he would not use me to prevent your betrayal?
- Mmmm...
I feel the power!
At last, the power of the Oracle is mine!
[Oracle moaning in pain]
And with her out of my way,
I will destroy the Inner World!
[Whimpering]
- [Hunter]: I don't believe it!
Mantid drained the last 2 Oracle Keys!
Are you happy now, Buguese?
Huh?
[Evil laughter]
- And you thought it was dark here before!
I will show you a world of endless night!
[Evil laughter]
