Welcome back to Prophecy of Masks. Last time, the unthinkable happened. Cynder was killed by the Perfect Ganmaizer. And upon her grave, Spyro vowed the Perfect Ganmaizer would pay for this. Woz, worried for Spyro's mentality, does give him information on two Kamen Riders that can help him. Meanwhile, Cynder's spirit meets up with Kamen Rider Ghost, who tells her she's more important than even she could realize. What does that mean? Read on to discover...

(Our story resumes with Spyro and Woz in what looks like a museum, notably one dedicated to the wars against Malefor, as evidenced by the old Warfang turret from Dawn of the Dragon being on display here.)

Spyro: (Stopping to observe an artifact) Woz, are you sure this is the place?

Woz: Positive, Lord Spyro. History is highly important to Ghost and to these two. If we're going to find them anywhere, it's here.

(Now we see what Spyro stopped to observe, a sort of mural depicting him and Cynder's final battle against Malefor, made by an unknown artist off accounts given once Spyro and Cynder returned. Upon seeing Cynder immortalized in this mural, tears flow down his face again)

Spyro: (Brushing tears from his eye) We need to find them. Quickly. (Under his breath) My heart can't take this.

?: Looks like we found you instead.

(At the sound of the unfamiliar voice, Spyro turns and sees a pair of people have joined them: one clad in suit akin to Michael Jackson's in Thriller, only black and blue rather than straight red, and the other wearing some sort of black and gold regalia, complete with a small arm cape and belt buckle with what looks like a crying eye with wings on it.)

Spyro: You're the Kamen Riders that Woz has been telling me about?

Woz: That's them alright, Lord Spyro. Makoto Fukami, Kamen Rider Specter, and Alain, Kamen Rider Necrom.

Specter: So, you've also lost someone to this revived abomination.

Spyro: The one person I cared about over all others.

Necrom: And now I just feel worse...

Spyro: (Confused) The reason being...?

Necrom: That monstrosity, the "Perfect" Ganmaizer, is my brother, Adel.

Spyro: Your brother?

Necrom: Long story.

Specter: One we don't have time for, given the circumstances.

Spyro: Agreed. We have a mutual mission. Stopping this monstrosity before he costs anyone else their loved ones.

Necrom: (Sighs) Let us be off then.

(Just as Spyro, Specter and Necrom are about to head off, Woz turns to Spyro, pleading in his eyes)

Woz: (Falling to his knees and grabbing Spyro by the shoulders) Lord Spyro, I beg of you, please reconsider this course of action. Vengeance will lead only to darkness.

(Tired of all of this madness, Spyro grabs Woz by the arms, throwing him back)

Spyro: I understand what you're trying to do, Woz. But you cannot stop me. When a dragon takes an oath like this, nothing will stop them. Especially not when I am that dragon. I'm sorry, but this is what I must do.

(With that, Spyro, Specter, and Necrom leave the museum, set on their mission of vengeance, leaving Woz on the floor, clutching the book he's carried since this started.)

Woz: (Looking right at the book) Yet again, I am about to lose my purpose...

(As Woz looks at his book, and the story chronicled within, tears start to well up in his eyes, prompting him to leave. But just as he does, Ghost and Cynder appear)

Ghost: It's worse than I thought.

Cynder: You'll forgive me for not seeing it exactly.

Ghost: From what Hibiki has told me, Spyro is holding his dark side in check, but just barely. You've seen how he's lost control of it recently. During the battles with Gold Drive and the Arc Orphnoch specifically.

Cynder: Wait, Hibiki was training me, not Spyro. How would he know?

Ghost: He studied your history before training either of you. His whole thing being being prepared for anything after all. After meeting you guys and seeing the way Spyro fights, he got nervous about him, and sought me out.

(At this point, we transition back in time to see Hibiki walking around in a forest near Warfang, looking nervous as Ghost described. After a few seconds, he stops, looks around a second, then sighs in some form of relief.)

Hibiki: I know your there, Takeru. And you couldn't have come at a better time.

(Once his name is mentioned, Ghost phases into full visibility, looking at Hibiki)

Ghost: (Seeing something is up) You sound nervous, Hibiki. As in really nervous. What's going on?

Hibiki: You've no doubt heard that certain enemies of our past have been revived.

Ghost: Yeah. Tsukasa brought us up to speed.

Hibiki: Then you've heard of Spyro and Cynder, the dragons helping us out in taking them down.

Ghost: I heard you were training them.

Hibiki: That's what's got me worried.

Ghost: How so?

Hibiki: It came up when Spyro and I fought together during that training session. He fought with such fury that it was almost terrifying. The darkness in him was overwhelming, no matter how much he was holding it back. Truth be told, it scared me.

Ghost: Takes a lot to scare you.

Hibiki: Exactly. That's why I'm glad you showed up. I need you to keep an eye on Spyro.

Ghost: Spy on him?

Hibiki: Just make sure he doesn't go completely dark

(With that, we transition back to the present day, where Ghost is telling Cynder this story)

Ghost: And after observing as I have, it seems you were the one thing keeping him from going dark. Every time he's lost control was when you were harmed. Its become clear to me that his love for you knows no bounds, to the point that he can't bear to see any harm come to you. And thus, he loses control against your attacker. But now that you're dead, he may just stop resisting the call of darkness once the Perfect Ganmaizer is destroyed, fearing he's got nothing left to fight for.

(At the mere hearing of that last phrase, Cynder's pupils contract as a memory is triggered in her. And we see it, a familiar sight, their first confrontation with Malefor. Cynder has already been lured back under Malefor's control, and is attacking Spyro as Malefor laughs on in the background)

Cynder: Fight back! (Strikes with her tail blade) FIGHT BACK! (With an annoyed sigh) WHY WON'T YOU FIGHT BACK!?

Spyro: (Disheartened) Because you've left me nothing to fight for...

(As he says that, the phrase "nothing to fight for" echoes in Cynder's mind as we transition back to the present day)

Cynder: By the Ancestors...

Ghost: Now you see what I'm getting at here.

Cynder: We've got to do something. Quickly.

Ghost: Don't worry, I have a plan. Though, we're going to need to face the Perfect Ganmaizer to do it. He stole the tools we need shortly after I got here.

Cynder: Alright then. Whatever it takes.

Ghost: Good to hear. Let me get suited up, and we'll get going.

(With that, a strange structure forms on Ghost's waist, what looks like a small one-eyed ghost, complete with stereotypical sheet look, with a handle on the side of it. As the ghost-like device settles into form, Ghost pulls out what looks like a small eye, and presses a button on the side of it, before forcing the sheet portion of the ghost-like device forward and placing the eye in it before slamming it shut)

Ghost Driver: Eye! Batchirimina! Batchirimina!

Ghost: Henshin!

(As the phrase "Batchirimina" repeats, a black and orange parka looking ghost emerges from the belt, while Ghost is covered by a majority black suit with orange lines crisscrossing it and a blank silver face. After a few seconds, Ghost pulls out the handle and pushes it back in, causing the ghost-like device to blink, shifting the eye-like device to a new screen, one that is primarily orange with two black spots looking like eyes)

Ghost Driver: Kaigan! Ore! Let's Go! Kakugo! Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost! Go! Go! Go! Go!

(With that action, the parka looking ghost drapes itself over Ghost, allowing his true face to rise, matching the symbol on the eye, but adding a small silver and blue horn to the forehead. And as the transformation finishes, Ghost flips down his hood that was the parka looking ghost's head)

Ghost: There we go. Now we've just got to find a way to get Spyro to hear us and stop this crusade of vengeance.

Cynder: I've got an idea. Follow me.

(Not entirely knowing what Cynder's plan is, Ghost follows his spectral ally, in pursuit of Woz, as we transition to a cliff-side overlooking what appears to be a quarry, where Spyro, Specter, and Necrom have gathered)

Spyro: Your sure that monster's coming here?

Specter: Once it sees we're back, it won't have much choice but to try and kill us for destroying it last time.

Necrom: Shall we begin?

Spyro: Let's.

(With that, Necrom throws on a wrist-mounted device that looks like an eye-dropper turned sideways as Specter summons a Ghost Driver. With their transformation devices armed, both pull out eye looking devices, but Necrom's is a lot wider. Both press a button on the side of their devices and slot them into their transformation devices, Specter using the same method as Ghost, while Necrom slots his into a large gap in the eye-dropper device.)

Necrom Eyecon: Standby. (As it is slotted into the eye-dropper device) Yes, Sir!

Ghost Driver: Eye! Batchirimiro! Batchirimiro!

(While the Specter's Ghost Driver begins it's chant, Necrom flips his eye dropper device straight up, and presses a button on the side)

Mega Uloader: Loading!

(With these actions, two parka like ghosts start flying around. One looking like Ghost's, only blue, and the other only vaguely resembling those two, being solid black save some green lines and two green and silver shoulder bits.)

Specter and Necrom: Henshin!

(With their battle cry known, Specter pulls the lever on his Ghost Driver out then pushes it back in while Necrom pushes a small button the actual dropper part of the Mega Uloader.)

Ghost Driver: Kaigan! Specter! Ready Go! Kakugo! Doki Doki Ghost!

Mega Uloader: Tengan: Necrom! Mega Uload! (Heavy guitar rock) Crush the Invader!

(As these battle cries are made known, Specter is covered in a suit similar to Ghost's, but the orange lines are blue, while Necrom is given a white and green suit with black details, and a face plate that more resembles an actual eye. As the parka looking ghosts settle in, Specter's face reveals two horns similar to Ghost's one and a face of more angular black sections on a blue backdrop. Meanwhile, Necrom has what looks like a large green cylindrical eye sticking forward on his suit, with a green and silver horn going straight up from that. And to complete the transformation, both flip their hoods down.)

Necrom: There. Much better.

Specter: Shall we?

Spyro: Let's.

(As the vengeful trio heads off to find their enemy, we transition to, of all places, the morgue where Cynder's body is still being kept. All is quiet, until suddenly we hear footsteps, and see the Perfect Ganmaizer has arrived.)

Perfect Ganmaizer: You shall make an excellent insurance policy, my dear.

(With that, the Perfect Ganmaizer generates some kind of tendrils from it's arms, two of them inserting themselves directly into Cynder's corpse's head, sending strange energy surging down into her corpse. And as it stops convulsing, the eyes open, revealing a dead stare as our tale ends for today)

Okay, that was a creepy place to end for now. Now I know the Ghost series didn't start out as particularly scary, but the overarching plan the Ganma had, that was arguably the scariest plan any villain has ever come up with. What was it? Well, I won't tell you here as it's a spoiler for next time. But next time, everything comes to a close on the Ghost Arc. So, what does the Perfect Ganmaizer need with Cynder's corpse? Will Cynder come back? All these questions and more will be answered next time, so be sure to tune in! Same time... same channel!
