Intro: Sparkle, princess of Arachna Kingdom, is kidnapped and Lumen and Embassy battle over who gets the good end of a deal to save her. When it ends, it is revealed to Igneous, Corona, and Hunter that Lumen is Zangetsu. Meanwhile, Sparkle escapes and is subsequently helped by a chef named Leon and his girlfriend, Jane. When Akarui finds her, they must escape before he finds them.
Leon and Jane ran into a building and closed the door behind them before locking it.
"What just happened?" Jane said.
"The only one here who actually knows is unconscious" Leon put Sparkle down. "So what now? That guy's going to come back for her?" Jane said.
"We have to find out how to do what she did, and this should be the key to doing so" Leon showed off the Lockseed Sparkle dropped.

Erin and Will walked into the room to see the Spider Riders sitting there.
Z was also there, but was eating a bowl of rice with a fork for some reason.
"Ah, Erin, thank you for coming on short notice, you too Will" Z ate another forkful of rice.
"Okay, what do you want?" Erin asked.
"Since we need help with solving this puzzle, which calls for someone with an animal spirit, and I believe you can help us."
"Why do you need Erin to help?' Will asked.
"Because, she has a Driver and a Lockseed which, when used together, you should be able to amplify any animal spirit you have in you" Z investigated a couple of pieces of rice he picked up with his fork before putting it in his mouth.
"That's it, okay, I can do that" Erin reached into her clothes to grab the Driver and Lockseed when Will stopped her.
"What's it to us?" Will asked.
"Will!"
"What, we have to know before we agree to it" Will stubbornly said.
"Okay, then you can come with us to get the reward when we travel there"
"That's not enough!" Will snapped when Erin smacked him in the back of the head. "We'll take it" she said before looking at her brother in frustration.
"Alright, then Hunter, Erin, you two might want to get ready" Z said as he took out a green and blue key.
"What- how did you-!" Lumen checked his pockets to find the key, which he couldn't find before looking at the key in Z's hand.
"Exactly" Z simply said before placing the bowl of rice on the table and getting up.
He walked towards the two as Hunter placed his Driver on.
He handed the key to Hunter who looked at it.
Erin finally managed to get her Driver out before placing it on, causing a beige Rider Indicator to appear along with a mask that had nothing on it but a visor and a gem on the forehead.
"Eh? That's strange, what's wrong with the mask?" Corona asked.
"I don't know, that's the first time that's happened" Z said.
Hunter held the key out and Erin grabbed it as well.
"So… what now?" Hunter asked.
"It's supposed to open a door, so I would suppose walking into the supply closet and placing it where a key slot would be would be out best guess" Z said.
The two complied and walked to the closet before placing it near the handle, where a key slot appeared.
"So, we just put it in?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah" Z observed carefully.
Erin nodded and the two placed the key in the slot before twisting it.
Pulling open the door, Hunter saw a tunnel before he fainted, as did Erin.
Sparkle sat in front of Jane and Leon, who were waiting for her to say something.
"Sparkle, what was that armor" Leon broke the silence.
"I don't know how to describe it but it's called Ryugen" Sparkle said.
"Ryugen?" Jane said.
"Yeah, the full name is Spider Rider Ryugen though"
"Really? It looked more like that armor we saw a while ago. It belonged to thay guy who called himself a Kamen Rider" Leon said.
"Oh, Z said that was the name too, but we were already called Spider Riders, so we just changed it"
"And how long have you been a "Spider Rider"" Jane said.
"I've been a Spider Rider for a few years, but Ryugen for about a few weeks"
"Well, could you explain what you do with that armor?" Jane asked.
"Usually it works with the Lockseeds to transform me into Ryugen"
"Ok. What are Lockseeds exactly?"
Sparkle reached onto her belt and pulled off the Budou Lockseed before showing it to them. Leon pulled out the Durian Lockseed secretly and looked at it.
"I don't really understand why, but they come from a forest that's named Helheim, along with the Armor we use"
"Wait, if armor that powerful exists, then why do you have it?"
"Occasionally, things called Invess fall out of portals and I have to fight them"
"And you have to do this by yourself?"
"No, I do have people to help me. There's Igneous, Corona, Hunter, and Z" she said.
"Is there any way we can help?" Leon asked.
"Leon" Jane whisper-shouted, smacking him in the arm. "What, it helps to know" he admitted.
Sparkle ignored that in favor of sifting through her pockets to look for an object.
"It's around here somewhere" she asid before she finally pulled out a belt buckle that had no indicator and held it out to Leon "here you go"
"Wait what?" Jane did nothing as Leon grabbed the Driver and looked over it. "This is it? A belt buckle?" Leon looked over it.
Sparkle was about to speak when the TV suddenly came on.
"What is that?" she asked. "You don't know what a TV is?" Jane asked.
The screen was mainly white noise before it cleared to reveal Akarui staring at the screen while in front of a building.
"Hello Zawame City!" he said in a fake voice that appeared to be very familiar for some reason (This isn't Zawame City, I just wanted to make a joke). "For those of you who don't know me, I am Akarui Fenikkusu, and I need something that someone else has taken from me. And if I don't get it back, then everyone in this building will burn" he flexed his wrist and several feathers that was embedded onto the building exploded.
"Oh my-"
"Holy-"
Sparkle stared at the screen and quickly got up and started running out the door.
"Hey!" Leon quickly chased after her.
Hunter and Erin awoke in a room surrounded by statues of Spiders and their respective Riders.
"Where are we?" Erin asked, getting up.
Hunter looked around and spotted something.
"Be careful" he grabbed his Lockseed and held it in front of him before he started to walk forward.
Erin nodded and started following him.
The two got to the end of the pathway when Hunter realized that what he saw was a person in armor.
"Who are you?" Hunter asked.
"I am known by many names but I shall be called X, the Spider Rider who found the Key" X said.
"The Key? You mean what we used to get here?" Erin asked.
"Yes, with that, you shall be able to enter the Outer World"
"Really, I can go home? But if that's true, then how are we going to get there, because we're stuck here" Hunter said.
"I don't believe you're worthy enough to get home." X said.
"What? How come?" Hunter was pretty livid.
"You continue to get stronger and stronger, but in an armor that was created with the power of your enemies, the Invess. How can you say you are a hero of the Oracle's Light when you use that armor?"
Hunter realized he was speaking the truth. He's right, I've been using my Gaim armor so much, that I've forgotten I still have my Spider Rider powers, and Shadow.
"That is why I will test you, to see if your resolve is true" X took out a sword, showing off a Manacle as well.
Hunter held out the Orange Lockseed, but stopped and put it in his pocket before showing off his Manacle.
"Arachna Power!"
What appeared to be Spider Webs started coming out from his Manacle, center first. Then, starting at his feet and hands, a suit started forming as well. When it was done, two lights came out and one attached to his wrist, creating a shield while the other formed a staff with two blades at the edge.
"Shadow! Spider Out"
A bright light shot out of his Manacle and formed the Spider Shadow.
"About time you called me" Shadow grumpily said.
X slightly laughed before drawing his own weapon and holding it in front of him.
"Raiment, Spider Out" From his Manacle, a gold, black and silver spider shot out.
The two of them got on their Spiders and started doing battle.
Erin watched but slightly started to grab her Manacle, prepared to use it.
Hunter swung high and then spun in a circle before aiming at X's legs.
X ducked and then jumped over it before using his sword and slamming the handle into Hunter's face.
Hunter fell off Shadow, who quickly caught him.
"We have to use this room to our advantage" Shadow told his partner. "Agreed!"
The Spider jumped up and shot out two webs before using them to get to a higher vantage point.
X responded by tapping his foot onto Raiment, who shot two webs and the Spider flew towards them.
Hunter jumped off Shadow and stabbed forward as X jumped up and extended his foot, burying it into Hunter's stomach.
Hunter crumpled before he started to fall to the ground.
"ORACLE'S LIGHT!" The Oracle Key in Hunter's possession split into two before it changed into two balls of light. Both flew to Spider and Rider respectively. The light with Hunter flew into his Manacle and he generated a new weapon that was more powerful then his last, along with a shield, which upgraded his suit, a large bulky piece attaching to his shoulder pad. Shadow upgraded as well, his legs and body becoming bulkier.
A web shot out of Hunter's shoulder piece and attached to the roof, catching Hunter and he landed safely on the ground.
He held his weapon in front of him before jumping up, the web shooting out of his shoulder pad unexpectedly before it launched him forward as he tackled X of Raiment.
The two fell, but X got Hunter off before slashing downwards, causing Hunter to crash into the ground.
"Heh, is that the best you got?" Hunter pointed his weapon at him.
X pointed his own weapon at Hunter in response and the two charged.
Erin watched the scene, afraid to transform.
"What should I do?' she looked up and saw a pillar that was about to fall over onto the two of them from the impact Hunter had on the ground.
"No! ARACHNA POWER!" she ran forward and revealed her Manacle as the pillar fell over.
A transformation quite similar to Hunter's started and soon enough, Erin was standing in her own Spider Rider suit with a weapon resembling a drill that was attached to a brace on her wrist appeared.
She tackled Hunter out of the way and the pillar fell.
"Anima! Spider Out!" a cyan, navy, and beige Spider came out of her Manacle and stopped the pillar.
"Are you two alright?" Anima, obviously female, asked.
"No way, Erin, you're a Spider Rider?' Hunter asked.
"There's no time" the two of them got up "we still have to deal with X"
Sparkle ran a while before stopping at a random point.
"Where am I?" she asked "This is a lot harder to navigate then back home."
Leon caught up to her.
"Sparkle, hold on, you can't just go and do that?"
"And why not? There are people who need help"
"Then why don't you leave it to those who can deliver it."
"Why do you continue to fight? You can't defeat me without going into that armor, and if you do then you prove you're not a true Spider Rider" X said.
"Because-" Sparkle said.
"-It doesn't matter what I fight with-" Hunter said.
"-There are people who can't defend themselves, and I can't just let that happen-" Sparkle continued.
"-As long as I can, I'll grow stronger and stronger, both with my Spider Rider and Gaim powers! I still can move forward as I am now! As Spider Rider Gaim!"
"-As long as I can, I'll help in the fight for the innocent! I want to help too, and I will! As Spider Rider Ryugen!"
Insert Theme: Point Of No Return by Mahiro Takasugi
"So I won't just sit here and let this go on!" the two shouted simultaneously as they clicked open their Lockseeds.
Budou! Lock On!
Orange! Lock On!
"Henshin!"
Hai!
Soiya!
Budou Arms: Ryu, Hou, Ha-Ha-Ha!
Orange Arms: Hanamichi, On Stage!
"This is my stage now! And I'll never give it up to anyone but those I care about!" Gaim drew his Musou Saber and ran at X.
"Sorry Leon, but you have to let me do this… I have to ascend the Dragon's power, okay?" Ryugen turned around just to see smoke in the night sky through her visor and she ran towards it.
Leon looked after her before looking the Sengoku Driver Sparkle gave him and the Durian Lockseed.
With a growl, he ran after her.
Ryugen arrived at the building to see smoke coming from it and several marks where explosions were.
At the front of it, was Akarui.
"Ah, Princess, care to join our fun?" he taunted.
Ryugen growled and pointed her gun at him.
"Stop!" Leon ran in.
"Leon?" Ryugen lowered her gun slightly.
"I get that you want to help, but maybe you should have a little backup."
Leon held up the Driver and placed it on, a yellow strap wrapping around him comfortably. The Rider Indicator changed so that it now had a green and silver spiky mask on it.
Leon held up the Lockseed.
"Henshin!"
Durian!
From a crack, a green and silver spiky fruit started to float down. Leon placed the Lockseed in the Driver.
Lock On!
The theme that played was unfamiliar as it was basically a guitar riff before Leon hit the Cutting Blade.
*Guitar Riff*
The Durian fell on his head and created a lime green suit with spikes all over it. Underneath the Durian, his helmet formed, similar to the one on his Indicator and from the top of the fruit, the rest of the helmet fell down, creating a yellow compound eye effect through two eyes and the durian started to fold down.
Durian Arms:
The entire thing folded out in a similar way to Donguri Arms. In his hands, two spiked swords called the DuriNoko appeared.
Mister~ Dangerous!
"So, let's cut this cake!" Leon ran at Akarui. He swung wide and Akarui ducked to the ground and rolled.
"Henshin!" Akarui changed into Firebird and drew the Feather Edge before running at Leon. He stabbed forward, but was blocked by one blade before the other pierced his stomach.
Firebird stumbled back. That had actually hurt him.
"So, anything sharp enough can cut you? Sparkle, got anything else?" Leon said.
"I'd rather we fight him in our simplest forms" "got it!"
The two ran at Firebird. Leon stabbed forward and caught Firebird with both blades before Ryugen pulled the handle on her gun back and jumped up before driving her foot into Firebird's face, jumping back, and then shooting him just as Leon dove out of the way.
Ryugen blasted him several more times as Leon hit the blade on his belt.
*Guitar Riff* Durian Squash!
Ryugen looked at him before nodding and hitting the Cutting Blade on her belt.
Hai! Budou Squash!
"Durian Spike Razer!" Leon ran forward and drove his now glowing DuriNoko into Firebird, who screeched like a bird when in pain and Ryugen jumped up.
"Ryugen Kyaku!" Ryugen jumped into the air as purple energy surrounded her right foot. She extended her foot and grape-shaped energy was released as she fell towards Akarui. Leon dove out of the way again as Ryugen impacted the DuriNoko and sent it further into Firebird, causing an explosion.
Gaim slashed at X, who dodged before blocking with his sword when he came back around.
"It shouldn't matter what I use to fight as long as I help others is it? And as long as I never lose sight of my path, which I haven't, then I'll keep fighting as Gaim!" he pushed X back "I'll fight for my friends, even if I have to sacrifice everything for them!"
"Well said, Hunter Steel" Z's voice resonated throughout the area.
"Z?" Gaim looked around.
"I'm communicating with you through your thoughts, as you are unconscious to the rest of us back at Arachna Castle" Z told Gaim.
"Well, any idea what to do?" Gaim said.
"Yeah, use this" In Gaim's hand, a ball of light formed, and he quickly sheathed his Musou Saber. The ball of light changed into a familiar violet Lockseed.
"Wait, this is Z's, can I really use it?" he was about to click it open, but hesitated. He put it on his holder and grabbed another one instead.
Ichigo! Lock On!
"Sorry Z, I need to get stronger with my own power!" he sliced the Lockseed.
Soiya! Ichigo Arms: Shushutto Spark!
Gaim stood in Ichigo Arms before raising the Ichigo Kunai up and spinning them around.
"Alright, let's go!" He jumped up and landed on Shadow before the two charged.
Erin nodded and she crawled onto her Spider, Anima, before they charged as well.
Gaim drove a Kunai forward, but was blocked by X before he jumped up, landed on Raiment, and kicked X in the stomach before jabbing the end of his weapon into his face.
As X fell back, Erin threw her drill and as it spun, she whipped her arm to the right, sending it into X's side, cutting into his side and drawing blood.
X collapsed onto his Spider, but he fired on last attack at them.
"Raiment Charge!" He threw his sword forward as it charged with energy.
Gaim jumped over it and hit the blade twice on his belt.
Soiya! Ichigo Au Lait!
Gaim flipped backwards and grabbed several Ichigo Kunai Shuriken from nowhere before they started to rain down on X.
Gaim grabbed the Dragonfruit Lockseed and placed it onto the sheathed Musou Saber.
Lock On! 1-10-100! Dragonfruit Charge!
"Ichigo Raining Rush!" Gaim performed his Rider Kick as he managed to somehow blend into the Ichigo Kunai Rain and violet energy covered him as well.
As he got closer, Shadow jumped up and dove forward, adding his own power to the kick as they merged into a large ball of light.
"SEI-HAAA!" The ball of light came closer to X, before all of a sudden, there was an explosion.
End Theme
The smoke cleared to reveal Hunter standing besides X, who appeared to be in no pain, just on the ground.
"You-you purposely missed." X said.
"Of course I did, if I attacked and killed you, then I guess you'd have been right about me not being worthy of being called a Spider Rider" Hunter said before he extended his hand to X, helping him up.
"Hunter Steel… I guess I was wrong about you" X laughed "but someday, you'll need a Raiment of your own…here" X handed a black object that looked like the slot where the Lockseeds were placed in the Genesis Driver.
"Where did you get this?" Hunter looked over it.
"In my time, there was a group of heroes, one who I saved, and he left me this to give to who made it to the gate to the outside, and you have but if the way you act is symbol enough for the rest of the Spider Riders, tell them to use the gate every once in a while, it gets lonely around here."
"If that's true" Erin spoke up "then why are you still here?"
"I promised I would be the guardian of the Gate, I haven't broken that promise yet" X said.
"One last thing, give this to your friend Z" He gave Hunter a Lockseed with the identification of L.S.-20. He waved his hand and the two were blinded by a flash of light.
"HUNTER! HUN-ter! Hunter!" Hunter's eyes snapped open and he sat up when he heard a blurry voice that got cleared and clearer. He was suddenly engulfed in a hug.
"Um, Corona, I don't think he can breathe" Aqune commented. "Yeah, I think we should just keep quiet, nothing we do will get her to loosen her grip" Z said. "You can only wonder why" Igneous sweat-dropped.
Eventually, Hunter managed to get Corona off him before he got up and looked down.
His Sengoku Driver was equipped, along with the Dragonfruit Lockseed. He took it off and tossed it to Z, who caught it without a response.
Erin looked around, but made sure to hide her Manacle before getting up.
"So, is it done, can we go to the Outer World?" Lumen asked.
"Well, according to legend, there would need to be a guardian at the Gate, and since they apparently got his blessing, we should be free to use the Key to get between both worlds." Z said.
"I say we go now" Magma spoke up.
"Why?" Will asked "why are you guys so determined to go up there?"
"You saw Sparkle being kidnapped, right?" Will blanched. "We're going up there to save one of our own, and also to have Hunter see what has happened when he was gone" Z said.
"I agree with Magma" Slate spoke up.
"Same here" Igneous said.
"As do I" Aqune raised her hand.
"Let's do it" Lumen grew a determined look.
"Shall we go then?" Z grew a smirk.
Hunter nodded and walked to the door. He took one last look at those behind him, who nodded before he opened the door and was greeted by a hallway that appeared to be made completely of light.
A zipper portal closed over the screen, revealing Gaim's symbol, the Orange, Pine, and Ichigo Lockseeds along with the Sakura Hurricane LockVehicle.
