Inside a hospital room, Ray is lying on the bed, unconscious, with Albert watching from outside the room through a window. Medi, a female NG Bot doctor, stands next to Ray, looking at him and tilting her head, as her POV scans him.
After a few moments, Medi leaves the room, with Albert turning to her, "How Ray's doing."
Medi looks at Albert, as her POV scans him, bringing up his name "Albert Reece", before bringing up "Ray Easter" alongside a Photo ID, with the words "Emergency Contact" appearing beneath Albert's name.
"Ray will make a full recovery, but he'll need time to heal," Medi answers.
"That's great, thank you, very much, doctor," Albert says.
Medi nods her head then walks past Albert, who turns back to the window, watching Ray.
Albert slowly clenches a fist, "Stinger Rider won't get away with this… I promise."
Unaware to Albert, a security camera near the top of the wall focuses in on Albert
In her lab, Lucy is watching Albert at the hospital on her computer, as she gets concerned, "Albert…"
"Mecha Mayhem"
Zero-1 Rider is driving the Cell Cycle down the city streets, and turns a corner, when he hears a couple beeps.
Zero-1 Rider tabs the side of his helmet, "Yes, Lucy."
Lucy leans back in her chair, "I'm surprised you didn't make a comment on answering a call while driving a motorcycle transformed from a phone."
"I'm busy," Zero-1 Rider responds from Lucy's earpiece.
"I know, Albert," Lucy leans back forward. "And I'm afraid you're not thinking straight."
"I can't just allow Stinger Rider to walk around and hurt people like he did with Ray," Zero-1 Rider says.
"I understand how you feel," Lucy says. "Especially after learning that one of our enemies is Tye, but I've made mistakes and I don't want you to make similar mistakes."
"I won't…" Zero-1 Rider says, continuing to drive the Cell Cycle, before slightly tilting his head. "I'm intercepting reports of Corrupbots marching with a large mech. I have to go, Lucy."
Zero-1 Rider tabs the side of his helmet, and drives off.
Lucy sighs, "He's a programmer, of course he figured out how to intercept emergency calls." She then holds up the Mammoth Virus Key, before looking at a blank Data Key connected to the computer. "We might need this sooner than I thought."
The Dark Mecha Armor, broadcasting a signal from its head, is walking down a street, with a large group of Corrupbots marching in front of it.
Zero-1 Rider jumps with the Cell Cycle, before jumping off the bike and lands several feet in front of the Corrupbots.
"That's far enough, I can't let you hurt anyone," Zero-1 Rider spreads out his arms.
"You won't be able to stop us," Stinger Rider says, as he and Falco Rider walk over to the side.
"You need to stop this, all of this destruction, this is not how it's supposed to go," Zero-1 Rider looks over to the other two Riders. "NG Bots were meant to help people, not to destroy them."
"You are truly naive," Stinger Rider starts. "NG Bots were never designed to aid humanity, but to replace it."
"No. That's not true," Zero-1 Rider takes a step forward. "NG Bots are the future…!"
"But humans aren't a part of that future," Stinger Rider says. "And soon, they will all be history."
"I will never let that happen," Zero-1 Rider holds a Data Key in front of his Transbelt.
"Accessing."
The mechanical tiger lands in front of Zero-1 Rider as he inserts the Data Key into his Transbelt, "Flame Tiger."
The mechanical tiger roars as it turns into energy, flies onto Zero-1 Rider, and forms his new armor.
"You're asking for trouble," Falco Rider charges, before Stinger Rider slowly walks over.
Falco Rider flips toward Zero-1 Rider, who backs up before dodging under Falco's Rider's roundhouse kick. Falco Rider then pushes away Zero-1 Rider's attempted punch before pushing his back, allowing Stinger Rider to punch him.
Stinger Rider then blocks Zero-1 Rider's kick, followed by blocking his punch, knocks away his arm, and then arm swipes him in the chest. Stinger Rider follows it up with a kick, knocking Zero-1 Rider into a roll.
"You are fighting a losing battle, Zero-1," Stinger Rider says. "Nothing you can do will ever stop us."
"You're wrong," Zero-1 Rider returns to his feet. "I won't let you hurt anyone, human or NG Bots!"
Stinger Rider holds up the Case Bow, as he walks over, "I'm not hurting NG Bots, I'm allowing them to reach their destinies."
Stinger Rider strikes at Zero-1 Rider twice with the Case Bow, with Zero-1 Rider stepping back to avoid the attacks. Zero-1 Rider tries to punch him, but Stinger Rider strikes him twice. Stinger Rider then blocks a kick, avoids a punch, dodges a second punch, then punches him in the side and strikes Zero-1 Rider in the chest, sending him flying backward.
Zero-1 Rider lands hard on the ground.
Stinger Rider holds up a Data Key, presses its button and inserts it into the Case Bow, "Accessing Amazing Beetle!"
Zero-1 Rider gets onto a knee.
Stinger Rider aims the Case Bow, pulling back the bowstring as energy gathers on it.
"Not this time!" Zero-1 Rider brings his hands together, as he holds them back, with flaming energy gathers, before pushing a hand forward, shooting out a stream of flames.
"Rider Beetle Arrow!" Stinger Rider fires a large, beetle-like energy arrow, blowing through the flame stream and hits Zero-1 Rider, causing a large explosion.
Zero-1 Rider is thrown back and lands onto the ground, hard.
"Now what?" Falco Rider approaches his partner.
"We continue with the plan," Stinger Rider lowers the Case Bow.
Falco Rider turns and looks up, as he punches the air, "You heard him. Dark Mecha Armor, continue onward!"
Stinger Rider turns and walks toward the marching Dark Mecha Armor and Corrupbots, as Falco Rider flies around them.
Zero-1 Rider, still on the ground, turns around, trying to get up but fails, "No, stop. Don't do it..."
Ray is sleeping in his hospital bed, with Lila standing over him, watching him.
Suddenly, a loud vibration is heard, with Lila walking around the bed and looking out a window.
In Lucy's lab, she is typing at the computer, as a window is analyzing a CGI rendition of a mammoth, with the words "Transferring Files". Next to the computer are a blank Data Key and the Mammoth Virus Key, connected to it.
Then her smartphone starts vibrating, as Albert's name appears on the screen.
Lucy tabs the screen, "Albert, are you okay?"
"I might've made a mistake," Albert says from Lucy's earpiece.
"What?" Lucy turns her head slightly.
Albert seats up against a tree, holding his R-Phone in one hand, "I have always believed greatly in NG Bots, and their potentials, and their relationships with humans… but now, I'm not too sure anymore."
Albert looks at his R-Phone and places his head against the tree, "Tye and his partner kept on corrupting NG Bots, nothing I could do can stop them… and now they can corrupt them en masses…"
"Albert, all of that is only possible because of Markus' malicious data," Lucy tells him. "And NG Bots had resisted the corruption before."
"Remember what Stinger Rider says," Albert holds up his R-Phone. "The signal is stronger so no one could resist anymore. And as for Marku's malicious data… it might mean there was never a chance for NG Bots."
"Albert, you don't believe that…"
"I'll admit, I once thought you to be naive, believing so strongly in NG Bots despite the corrupted ones' attacks," Lucy continues. "But you have actually restored my faith in NG Bots and their potential. And I know that you, in your heart, believe in them too."
Albert lowers his R-Phone, before taking the Rising Hopper Data Key out of his pocket and looks at it.
"Your bike's repair is finished and ready to go," Macki tells him. "And… good luck at your job."
Macki watches as Albert leaves, before looking at his hand and then raises it as a wave.
A NG Bot crossguard approaches Zero-1 Rider, as the camera zooms in on the pair.
"Thanks so much for helping me while I get a quick recharge," the NG Bot crossguard says.
"My pleasure," Zero-1 Rider responds
"Thanks again, for protecting me," Scoop says to Albert, who turns back to her.
"Oh, don't mention it, but I am sorry you didn't get your story," Albert says.
Scale approaches Albert and the fisherman, "Captain."
"Scale," the fisherman approaches him, shaking his hand. "You're as good as new." He smiles, which Albert shares. "I'm so happy to see you again."
"And I'm happy to be back at work," Scale responds.
Albert continues to look at the Data Key in his hand.
"Albert," Lucy suddenly says from the R-Phone. "Reports are coming in. The Dark Mecha Armor had reached the city."
Albert clenches the Data Key in his hand, before starting to get up, "I'm on my way."
Lucy smiles, as the words "Transfer Completed" appear on the screen.
She looks to the Data Key, and whispers, "So am I."
Corrupbots stand ready, as Dark Mecha Armor walks forward, then holds out its hands, as wires shoot out of it and into a building across from the plaza.
The wires fly through open windows and connecting to NG Bot assistants, jaintors, and repair crews, causing their holographic images to flicker and turn into Corrupbots, as the people around look on terrified, before starting to run in fear as the Corrupbots starting attack, trashing everything around them.
Stinger Rider and Flaco Rider take steps forward, as the wires retract from the building.
Falco Rider holds up a hand, "Finally, after everything, we are finally liberating all of the NG Bots."
"This is good, but it's only a start," Stinger Rider tells him.
Falco Rider turns to look at him, when they hear the sound of metal clashing, before turning to see what caused it.
"Not him, again," Falco Rider says.
Zero-1 Rider swings the Case Saber, knocking back a Corrupbot, before he spins around, strikes one Corrupbot to his side and then strikes another Corrupbot on his other side. He roundhouse kicks a Corrupbot, before using the Case Saber to knock another Corrupbot's arms and then strikes it. He spins, kicks a Corrupbot, then spins back, slams the Case Saber against a Corrupbot and strikes it, with explosions going off behind him.
Stinger Rider turns, as Corrupbots run past him with their blasters, "This is getting tiresome."
Zero-1 Rider closes the Case Saber to case mode, using it to block the Corrupbots' blasts, before opening it back to saber mode, with the blade glowing with energy.
"Rider Strike!" Zero-1 Rider strikes with the Case Saber, sending an energy slash flying, cutting through the Corrupbots, with them falling down and consumed in large explosions.
"Dark Mecha Armor… destroy him," Stinger Rider instructs.
Zero-1 Rider looks up, "There is never a Power Ranger around when you need one."
Dark Mecha Armor swings a fist down at Zero-1 Rider, who rolls to dodge, before barely blocking another fist, forcing him back a couple steps. Dark Mecha Armor kicks at Zero-1 Rider, who barely blocks but is forced into a spin. He then falls onto his back to dodge Dark Mecha Armor's second kick as it spins around.
Zero-1 Rider returns to his feet, using his Case Saber to block a Dark Mecha Armor punch, before Dark Mecha Armor uppercuts him, sending him into the air and then punches him, sending Zero-1 Rider flying backward, against a building.
Zero-1 Rider falls onto the ground, with his body glows, before his armor dissolves, turning him back to Albert.
Stinger Rider takes a step forward, "Interesting…"
"We should just get him out of the way," Falco Rider suggests. "Before he causes any more trouble."
Suddenly, small explosions go off in front of the two Riders. They then see Valkyrie Rider running past them, with her TransBlaster aimed at them.
"Speaking of trouble," Falco Rider says.
"You're the troublemaker, Tye," Valkyrie Rider says, as she approaches Albert, who returns to her feet.
"Valkyrie…" Albert says.
"Here, this should even the odds," Valkyrie Rider, keeping her TransBlaster aimed at their enemies, hands him a Data Key.
Albert takes the Data Key, looking at it, "Mammoth?"
"I copied the data files from the Mammoth Virus Key…" Valkyrie Rider explains.
"Wasn't aware the cheetah is a copycat," Falco Rider interrupts.
"I also improve on the coding," Valkyrie Rider adds, with Stinger Rider stares at her.
"Okay, then," Albert says, before taking a couple steps ahead. "This will stop now."
"Doubtful," Falco Rider says.
Albert holds up the Mammoth Data Key, presses its button, and holds it in front of the Zero-1 Transbelt, "Accessing."
The back of the N2 satellite separates, before it turns around, pulls back its sides and lowers a piece, now resembling a spaceship, then starting to glow, turns into energy, flies into the remaining piece of the satellite and then is beams down to Earth.
Albert holds up his arms, crossing them, as the beam stops above him and turns back into the spaceship.
Albert holds up the Data Key, opening it, "Access Code: Zero-1!"
He insets the Data Key into the side of the Transbelt, "Mammoth Mecha!"
The spaceship shoots down a beam onto Albert, transforming him into Zero-1 Rider, before he turns into energy and flies back into the spaceship.
Zero-1 Rider materializes inside a cockpit, as control visuals appear in front of him, "Whoa, cool. My own mecha."
The sides of the ship pull to the side, as it spins around and upright, with the backs separate into legs and the fronts pull onto the back, revealing a head, forming a silver and yellow replica of the Dark Mecha Armor, with large tusks on the torso and a giant closed Data Key on its left arm, before it lands on the ground.
Zero-1 Rider looks left to right, "No stereo, but still totally awesome."
"This is actually… unexpected," Stinger Rider says.
"Doesn't matter, it's just a copy," Falco Rider takes a step forward. "C'mon, Dark Mecha Armor, take it out!"
Mammoth Mecha holds up its arms in a fighting pose, as Dark Mecha Armor pulls off its own tusks and holds them like reverse grip daggers.
"Let go, then," Zero-1 Rider says.
Mammoth Mecha swings a fist at Dark Mecha Armor, knocking back one of its daggers, before Dark Mecha Armor strikes at it with one and then brings down both daggers, with Mammoth Mecha holding up its arms to block them. Mammoth Mecha pushes away the daggers, before Dark Mecha Armor deflects a punch. Mammoth Mecha swings down its arms.
"I told you, I won't let you hurt anyone, human or NG Bot," Zero-1 Rider says.
Mammoth Mecha holds down its left arm, as steam shoots off it, before charging, then punches Dark Mecha Armor, and uppercuts it, knocking Dark Mecha Armor onto its back, sending its tusk daggers flying into the air.
Mammoth Mecha hops little, catching the tusk daggers, as Dark Mecha Armor returns to its feet. Mammoth Mecha then runs over, strikes it with one dagger, before backhand strikes it. Dark Mecha Armor tries to grab it, but Mammoth Mecha pushes it off while striking it with both daggers. Dark Mecha Armor punches Mammoth Mecha, before Mammoth Mecha strikes down at it with both daggers. Mammoth Mecha then kicks it and roundhouse kicks it.
"I will stop you Stinger Rider, whatever your plans might be, I will stop them," Zero-1 Rider says, before he tabs the side of his Transbelt.
Mammoth Mecha, looking up, holds up its left arm, launching the giant Data Key, before jumping straight up after it and past the Data Key, which glows and grows even larger. Mammoth Mecha flips and kicks down at the Data Key, which turns red as it is pushed through the air.
"Rider Mammoth Kick!" Zero-1 Rider calls out, as Mammoth Mecha kicks the Data Key down onto Dark Mecha Armor, which tries to block it, as it surges with electricity, before the Data Key and Mammoth Mecha crush it, consuming Dark Mecha Armor in a large explosion.
The giant Data Key flies out of the smoke, before landing back onto Mammoth Mecha's outstretched left arm.
"He destroyed Dark Mecha Armor," Falco Rider says.
Mammoth Mecha lowers its left arm, as it holds up its right arm and closes a fist.
"It's a setback," Stinger Rider says, as Falco Rider looks to him. "But it won't stop what's coming. And we still have more options."
Stinger Rider holds up the Dodo Virus Key, before he and Falco Rider turn to leave.
Albert enters Ray's hospital room to find the bed is empty, "Ray?"
At that moment, Ray enters the room, "Hey, Albert. I just finished signing out."
Albert turns to Ray and happily hugs him, "Ray, I'm glad you're okay."
"Yeah, not much of a hugger," Ray gently pushes Albert off him.
"But, are you okay?" Albert asks, as he backs up.
"I'm managing," Ray rubs his shoulder. "So what did I miss?"
Albert shrugs his shoulders, "Well…"
In Markus' office, he is seated behind his desk, with Lila entering and comes to a stop in front of the desk.
"Mr. Tan, all the news channels, as well as the police department want to discuss the recent attack with you," Lila reports.
"I'm aware, and I know exactly what I'm gonna say," Markus leans back in his chair. "Unfortunately, I have gotten used to dealing with such bad press."
Lila slowly nods her head.
"Besides, everything that happened was just a setback," Markus starts. "The NG Bots are still the future I had envisioned."
