This is Part III of the Thanksgiving Special. Last time, Spyro and Cynder found out what the Dark Seed of Agito was all about, afflicting them with breathtaking pain any time they express their love for one another, which the OverLord claims is a test of it, however that makes sense. This scenario forces Geiz and Woz to work together with Agito, G3, Gills, and Another Agito to stop him. So how's this going to go? Read on to discover...
(Our tale resumes in a field, where Geiz, Woz, Agito, G3, Gills, and Another Agito seek out their target, the OverLord)
Geiz: Are you sure this creep is here?
Agito: I recognize his energy signature from the last time we fought. It's erratic, crazy, and nearby.
G3: (Pulling a gun from his belt) Let's hope he goes down just as easily as last time.
Gills: (Confused) He didn't go down easy last time.
Another Agito: At least you guys got to face him.
Agito: We get the point. He should be around here somewhere.
(At this point, Woz sees something off in the distance. The familiar black-clad form of the OverLord, sitting meditating in the center of this field.)
Woz: It looks like you were right, Shouichi.
OverLord: (Looking at the group in his peripheral vision) I wondered when you would show up. (Noting who isn't there) What happened to your dragon friends?
Woz: Lord Spyro and Lady Cynder are still recovering from your vile infliction, you demon!
OverLord: They will learn something from this, I am sure. So will all of you.
G3: (Pointing his gun at the OverLord) Look, we don't have time for this. Just surrender and undo your curse before we're forced to do something drastic.
OverLord: This whole thing is something drastic. You have no idea what you're doing. (To Geiz) Except maybe you. You've got a secret. One not even you realize. One, only we know.
Geiz: (Pulling out an axe like weapon) Quit your babbling!
(With rage in his tone, Geiz rushes to attack the OverLord, who throws him back without a second thought. While Geiz ends up flying, G3 starts trying to shoot, but the bullets do nothing but fly around the OverLord, who barely has to move to stop an oncoming assault from Gills and Another Agito charging from the background. As all of this happens, Agito and Woz approach from the side, and are completely blind-sided by the sheer display of ferocity that is the OverLord barely reacting to anything they're doing. After a few minutes of failing attacks, Agito and his team are on the ground, while Geiz and Woz continue their attack, only to see that the two of them as a team get closer to harming the OverLord than any of the rest)
Agito: Tactical retreat!
Woz: Are you crazy?! I'm not going anywhere with what he's done to Lord Spyro and Lady Cynder!
Agito: Do you want to die? Or for them to die? Believe me, I've got a theory.
(Realizing that this is going to go nowhere, Woz relents and the group retreats back to G3's truck, where G3 is already out of his armor and stocking it up)
G3: Well that could have gone better.
Gills: You're telling me.
Another Agito: We clearly need another strategy.
G3: And I've got one.
(With that, G3 pulls a switch on the truck's control panel, revealing a heavier armor version of the G3 suit.)
G3: G3-X, Equip!
(His battle cry known, G3 steps into the void where the suit is stored. With a little help from Geiz and Woz, G3 is able to put on the upgraded suit before securing the belt battery and helmet on himself)
G3: (Grabbing what looks like a minigun) There we go.
Woz: Even though the G3-X system is formidable, I don't think it'll be particularly useful to just bulk up armor against this one.
(Just as Woz makes his point, the door into the back of the truck opens, revealing a particularly surprising figure standing there. Cynder)
Cynder: (Weakly) Then maybe I can.
Woz: Lady Cynder?! What are you doing here?!
Cynder: That creep just stormed the Temple and kidnapped Spyro. Though it caused him immense pain, he got me out of there. Now we're going to get him.
Geiz: Even if you're able to help in someway, this Dark Seed nonsense will probably kill you.
Agito: That's why she's not going to lead the assault. You and Woz are.
Geiz: Like hell I'm working with him.
Agito: The two of you together got closer to actually damaging the OverLord than any of the rest of us.
Gills: And if this whole love thing he's working with is true, then that makes sense, since you two absolutely hate each other.
Woz: Saying I hate Geiz is a pretty strong way to put it.
Geiz: Pretty accurate in reverse though.
Another Agito: Perhaps it's not this hate thing, but the fact that Geiz seemingly shares something with the Overlord. He did say something about some sort of knowledge.
Geiz: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Woz: Geiz, we both know that's not true.
Geiz: I have NOTHING to hide!
Cynder: Geiz, that's the thing. You probably don't even know that it is something you've been hiding. You probably brushed it off as something odd. Think back. It's got to be there somewhere.
(Frustrated, but realizing nobody's going to let him go anywhere until he says something, Geiz starts to think back on the weird things going on in his life up to this point, and ultimately does remember something.)
Geiz: Wait, there is something. Last year, I had this weird series of dreams, apparently showing me working with Woz and some version of Oma Zi-O, though in a less dictatorial looking silver suit as opposed to his gold and black regular. The last dream ended in my death, and the silver figure becoming Oma Zi-O. (Realizes it) You don't think...
Cynder: Perhaps those weren't dreams after all. But we'll have to ponder it later. Right now, we've got to find this punk.
(With that, we transition back to the field where the OverLord has Spyro, Decade, Diend, Tsukuyomi, and Ignitus captive as he continues to meditate on the events prior)
OverLord: (Looking at the sun) Your time is already running out. If your beloved cannot pass this trial, you both will die.
(And just as the OverLord makes his pronouncement, Cynder and company appear on the horizon.)
Cynder: This madness ends here!
OverLord: (Looking right at them) Ah. Right on schedule. This is your last chance.
Agito: (Seeing how bright the sun is shining) Time for an upgrade of my own.
Gills: (Feeling the fury of the situation) Agreed!
(With his determination steeled, Agito presses the two buttons on the side of his belt yet again, causing a ring marked with three violet talons to materialize on the front of his belt, turning his gold armor red, adding two points under each of his crest horns and turning his eyes yellow, before the red armor on his chest breaks apart, keeping the shoulder pads red while revealing gleaming white armor marked with strange symbols and a yellow stone with black patterns on it. Meanwhile, Gills lets out an ear-splitting roar, revealing teeth in what appeared a mask and causing spikes to emerge all over his body, two from his wrists, two upwards from his back, two out of his heels, two up from his knees, and two down from his back.)
Agito: There we go.
G3: If we're all ready, then I suggest we get moving.
Woz: Geiz, lead the way.
(Still not exactly liking Woz, Geiz does eventually relent, seeing the situation they're in, and starts the charge, with Woz not far behind him, followed by Cynder and the rest. And as the group reaches the charge, Geiz actually gets a swing in at the OverLord, and manages to hit him. followed by blows from Woz, Agito, G3, Gills, and Another Agito. Meanwhile, Cynder continues to feel the pain from the Dark Seed of Agito coarsing through her as she nears Spyro, but as undeterred as he was when he got her to flee the Temple, she continues. The pain growing in both of them, doesn't matter, as ultimately once the two grasp each other's claws, a bright flash emits from both of them, and the pain subsides as the OverLord stands, applauding)
OverLord: (As Geiz's blow instantaneously heals) Well done, all of you.
Geiz: Wait, what just happened?
Spyro: Yeah, I'm as confused as the rest of you, what just happened?
OverLord: You've passed my tests.
Woz: Wait, there was a second test in all of this?
OverLord: Yes. (Pointing to Geiz) Of him. To finally recall what was lost.
Geiz: What are you even talking about?!
Cynder: Your dreams. He must be talking about those dreams, Geiz.
OverLord: I am. But they were no dreams. They were the story that happened before. The story Malefor corrupted.
Spyro: Wait, what?
OverLord: Oma Zi-O was defeated before, by his younger self, Sougo Tokiwa. Ultimately he claimed his destined power as Oma Zi-O, but was supposed to use it to set the timeline right. As he tried, Malefor played a serpent's song and turned his darker side into a new Oma Zi-O, while chaining Sougo outside of time, along with the memories of him. In all but Geiz, that is.
Cynder: Then what was all this testing us about?
OverLord: To see if you are strong enough to face Malefor, and gather the tool needed to release the chained one. You almost have all it's pieces. (As the Mark of Malefor glows upon his right hand) Allow me to present you with another.
(With that, the OverLord materializes a silver and gold Ridewatch with Agito's face emblazoned across it, handing it to Spyro and Cyder before starting to disappear)
OverLord: Take this, and gather the last three. Only once the rest are gathered can the true Zi-O be released. Good luck.
(And with that, the OverLord dissolves into ash as those before him did, leaving everybody slightly underwhelmed and confused as Agito and company resume their civilian forms)
Agito: Well that was... unexpected.
Woz: (Takes out his book) I guess this is when I do this. So... Rejoice! Another of the Malefic Villains has fallen! And Lord Spyro and Lady Cynder have claimed their newest Rider Allies: Kamen Riders Agito, G3, Gills, and Another Agito! May their alliance last until all light has fallen into darkness! (Closes his book) That... really wasn't as satisfying as the last few times.
Agito: Befitting the confusion of that I guess. But it still holds true. We'll keep the fight going.
Spyro: As confusing as that was, it's a victory over another one, and proves the Prophecy is still right.
Agito: One was always supposed to defect? (Thinking on it) Figures it was that one.
Cynder: So... now what?
Spyro: I guess we just, keep an eye out for the next three adversaries. Since that's all that's left.
(As everybody leaves the scene confused, we focus our attention to a campsite deep in the forest, where a clothesline appears strung between two trees with the absolute gaudiest pair of boxer shorts imaginable on them, as our tale ends for today)
That concludes Part III of the Thanksgiving Special. For the finale, slide on over to the Mortal Kombat Intros. Yes I know this Arc wasn't likely the best, and was probably the most confusing. But, Agito is a confusing show. So I figure I captured that pretty well. Anyways, it looks like our next Rider is pretty obvious, the underwear should've given that way, it's Eiji Hino, Kamen Rider OOO! So how's that going to turn out? And where is OOO, since he wasn't in his preview? Tune in next time to find out! Same time... same channel!
