The Riders, unknown to the Spies, were actually keeping in contact with their monsters and with the link were able to locate where the two Gemini Ninjas had gone. However, they feared that it was a trap. Unfortunately, they didn't have much of a lead so they had to go where the Gemini Ninjas had, allegedly, taken their kidnapped victims.

The 6 agents stood in front of a warehouse in front of a harbor. Under the moonlight the water sparkled with the reflection of the stars.

"You know," Alex said, "It's kinda insensitive to say this but this place really looks beautiful this time of night."

"Alex, get serious," Sam scolded. "Tazuka, are you sure they're here?"

The Spies had just found out the boys they were assigned to work with had special abilities. Tazuka was clairvoyant, Ryuki was a pyrokinetic and Takada was indestructible. The girls didn't consider them weird and freakish, much to their relief, but really cool. With that secret out of the way and the girls fully informed of who the kidnappers were and what they were capable of, they set of to find and rescue the kidnapped designers.

Ryuki was clenching and unclenching his fists as he stood in front of the doors of the warehouse. He could see, in the corner of his eye, Dragonzer's image within the reflection of a small puddle. If Dragonzer was here, along with their other Zodiac Beasts, they knew there were close.

"Alright, let's open it up," Takada said as he cracked his knuckles. Ryuki and Tazuka went to lift up the warehouse door.

"Careful, you two," Tazuka warned, "This might be a trap."

"There are always traps," Takada said nonchalantly, "And we always get out. It's not like we've never faced danger before."

"But, Takada-san, we have to protect the girls too and they can't do what we can," Ryuki said. Takada knew what his younger friend was referring to. Takada nodded in agreement. The three Riders then pushed the sliding door up and entered, the Spies followed with them.

Ryuki produced a flame to create some light for them to see. Alex strode up next to him, smiling. "Wow, you really are hot. I though you were before but not literally."

"Atigatou," Ryuki nodded at the compliment.

The lights in the warehouse didn't seem to work so they had to depend on Ryuki for lightning. What they didn't know was that they were being watched. A surveillance camera seemed to follow their every direction.

Takada stiffened. Clover asked, in concern, "What is it?"

"I heard something," he told her.

"I didn't hear anything," she replied. He pointed to his ears.

"Let's just say I have a higher than normal sense of hearing," Takada explained. "Not to mention smell. You have a really nice perfume."

Clover smiled, "Thanks! I just got it!"

"Seriously, people!" Sam scowled. "We are on a mission here!"

"Sam's right. People's lives are at stake here," Tazuka said, frowning at his teammates. His eyes began to glow again. It seemed eerie under the limited lighting they had. "Follow me."

As they went in deeper, a dark figure skulked after them. The figure, judging from the curves, was female and her eyes glowed with an unnaturally gleam. They were like cat eyes and her movements mimicked the female perfectly. They were swift and graceful at the same time. She was able to sneak around the cameras and remain undetected as she followed after the agents.

Tazuka pressed his hand against the wall and then found and impression. He looked towards the others as they began to sweat nervously. Ryuki's flame was starting to flicker in and out as they breathed. Though Tazuka was clairvoyant, he could never see the entire future. There were twists and turns and nothing was concrete. Sam then walked over and put on the M-Ray contacts. She could see a doorway behind a hidden door and the place Tazuka had his hand on was the button to open the door.

"OK, there's a door," Sam said. "Do it."

"And get ready for anything," Clover said.

"Totally," Alex gulped.

"Maybe I should do it," Takada said as he stepped forward. "If it's a trap than none of you will get hurt."

"But you might get hurt," Clover said worriedly before receiving deadpan looks from her friends. "Oh, I forgot. You're indestructible." Smiling at Clover, Takada walked over and pressed on the impression. They all stiffened and then the door slid open. They sighed with relief.

"Be careful, everyone," Tazuka said before entering, "We're in enemy territory now. That means they'll be traps.

"OK, then I'm the first in line then," Takada volunteered. "At least nothing they can do can kill me." They then proceeded to walk into the corridor. They wee lights so they no longer needed Ryuki's flame to light the way.

With Takada in front waiting for any traps, the Spies and Riders walked through the tunnel. Aside from the extremely cleans and shiny walls that reflected their appearance, they hadn't seen anything too out of the ordinary.

"Wow, I can totally see myself," Clover said, posing in front of the wall.

Sam and Alex rolled their eyes.

Alex's foot stepped onto a tile and it sank into the floor. She then realized what she'd done, "Uh-oh."

Suddenly, a door slammed shut behind them and then another one not too far in front of them also slammed shut. It was a trap!

"OK, so now we're prisoners," Takada said. He was actually calm about it. I mean, locking them up? It's not like they couldn't escape. Suddenly, the walls began to move slowly closing in on them.

"OK, we're, like, totally doomed," Clover said as she watched the walls closing in on them.

"We may be trapped like rats, and our gadgets may not work in this situation," Sam said before realization hit her, "You're right, we're doomed!" There was no way out!

Alex began to cry, "Girls, being friends with you and working with you has been the best years of my life!" She cried louder, "And now we're going to die!"

As the girls began to huddle closer to share their last hug, the Riders didn't seem fazed. They looked more like they were bored or resigned to what was happening. Had they given up already?

"Crushing walls," Takada said, "How original. Of course, since she's stealing ideas from other designers, I doubt she had anything original to begin with."

"Well, might as well do it now, right?" Tazuka said. "It was bound to happen."

"Hai!" Ryuki said.

The girls watched as the Riders stood side by side, unfazed by the walls closing in and then pulled belts out of nowhere. They were identical in shape and form, with metal straps and a crystal color coded for each of them locked into place in the centre of the buckles. They then swung on the belts around their waists and then snapped them on securely.

The girls could only watch the boys as they seemed so calm about impending doom. They just couldn't understand why they weren't freaking out like the girls were. It made no sense!

"What are they doing?" Sam asked as she watched what was about to unfold. She watched as each of them pulled out a rectangular case. Takada's had a dog emblem on it, Ryuki's had a dragon and Tazuka's bore the emblem of Pisces.

"Henshin!" the three Riders shouted as one before they snapped the cases onto the right side of their belts.

"Zodiac Force! Dragon!" Ryuki called.

"Zodiac Force! Dog!" Takada called.

"Zodiac Force! Pisces!" Tazuka called.

Simultaneously, colorful lights exploded from their belts. Ryuki was suddenly engulfed in fire as both Takada and Tazuka were covered with wind and water, respectively. The Spies could only watch in silent awe as the Riders changed before their eyes.

The flames, water and winds dispersed leaving the boys clad in suits of armor.

Ryuki's armor was red with a silver chestplate and a dragon symbol on it and worn over a red bodysuit. He also had on red metal boots with silver trimmings and matching red gauntlets with silver trimmings as well. An armguard in the shape of a dragonhead was strapped to his left forearm. His head was encased by a helmet with a silver headpiece that had a dragon emblem on it too. His face was covered by a silver faceplate and round green eyepieces.

Takada's armor was a blend between a medieval knight and the Dark Knight of Gotham. It was mainly black with a silver chestplate and shoulder-guards that pointed upwards. His gauntlets and boots were black. His helmet was black with a silver visor that had multiple vertical slits on it to allow him to see and sharp points to emulate ears. Holstered at his left hip was a sword that had a dog symbol on the handle. His armor was worn over a midnight blue bodysuit. Hanging down his back was a black cape with a high collar.

Tazuka's armor was a lot more elaborate. It was blue and white with a gold 'X' on his chest and worn over a black bodysuit. In the centre of the 'X' was a circle holding the symbol of Pisces. His boots and gauntlets were aqua blue and white. He had fins on his shoulders. His helmet was mainly aqua blue with a white faceplate and 'Y' shaped black visor. Fins flanked his helmet and there was a third one on top. Equipped to his left forearm, like Ryuki, was a shield resembling a hammer head shark.

Zodiac Knight Draco, Zodiac Knight Pluto and Zodiac Knight Jawz, now stood together to face all evil.

This was the reason they were called the 'Masked Riders'.

"Takada-san, niisan!" Draco ordered, "Take care of the walls."

"Right!" the two blue Riders nodded before going towards opposite walls and began pushing them.

"Woah," Clover gasped quietly as she saw the boys in the suits. "Like, how'd they do that?"

Sam could hear the machinery pushing the walls beginning to strain. The metal screech was very distinctive. "Who cares!" she cried. "They're actually stopping it!" The armor the Riders were wearing actually enhanced their strength.

"Leo looks so cool in his armor," Alex sighed wistfully. The green eyes on the helmet were like emeralds. Just like his real eyes.

As Jawz and Pluto pushed at the walls, digging their heels into the floor as they did it, Draco reached into the deck case attached to his belt. He pulled out a card which depicted a vicious looking cannon styled after a dragon's head. He then slid it into his gauntlet.

"Shoot Vent," he whispered under his breath. There was distinct roaring sound as he did it. The Spies looked around for the source of the roar. Pluto and Jawz were smiling under their helmets.

"Like, what was that?" Clover asked. For once, Sam didn't have all the answers. The suits of armor were just so unbelievable looking that she was struck speechless.

Alex's eyes focused on Draco as a cannon appeared on his right arm in a flash. Actually, the cannon had engulfed his arm up to the elbow, looking like he had a dragon's head and neck for an arm instead. She continued to watch as Draco aimed the cannon at the locked doors. He looked over his shoulder and said to the Spies, "You might want to step back, and brace yourselves." The Spies did as told as Draco began to concentrate. A bright flaming ball of energy began to form within his cannon as he prepared his attack. Jawz and Pluto were struggling with keeping the walls apart as they continued to push against them.

"Anytime…now…kid!" Pluto struggled as he continued to push. His feet were dragging on the floor as he tried to dig in his heel.

"Hurry up, otouto!" Jawz called. His eyes flashed. He just hoped Ryuki would follow his prediction.

The fireball grew to the side of a large beach ball before he reared his arm back and threw it forward with a yell, "HAH!" The fireball was sent hurling towards the door and exploded, there was a lot of smoke but it cleared out through the large hole Draco had created. He then helped Pluto and Jawz keep the walls separate.

"GIRLS! MOVE IT!" Jawz yelled. Getting the message, the Spies ran past the Riders towards the hole Draco had created. The path between the two walls was getting narrower and narrower.

The Spies had successfully gotten out through the hole. "You guys have to get out of there!" Sam shouted. They didn't look like they could hold on much longer.

"We'll be fine!" Pluto shouted. "Go, now!"

"We're not leaving you!" Clover shouted. "There's still time!"

"We'll meet up with you, trust us!" Draco shouted as he held the wall with the last bit of his strength.

It wasn't enough.

The walls slammed together, crushing the Riders.

The shock struck the girls, hard.

Clover dropped to her knees as her eyes widened, tears starting to fall down her cheeks. Sam's knees were about to buckle as well as she shook her head in denial. Alex, was shaking, holding her head as tears filled her eyes.

"No…he can't be…" Alex screamed, "LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

"No, no, no, no, no," Sam repeated over and over. This couldn't be happening. She didn't even want to admit that it did. Right before her eyes the boys had just been crushed between two walls. It wasn't fair! Just when they met guys they wouldn't have to lie to, they get killed.

"Takada," Clover sniffed as she struggled not to cry. She really couldn't help herself though. She and the young genius really seemed to connect and now he was gone in the blink of an eye.

"Leo!" Alex bawled. Just like that, someone she really thought she could have a relationship with, or at least be good friends with, was gone. He'd been crushed by those walls and sacrificed himself to save her and her friends. Alex just couldn't hold her pain in as she started to cry. "It's all my fault!"

Sam looked over to her distraught friend and pulled her close, "No it isn't. You don't have anything to feel sorry about."

"Yes I do!" Alex cried. "I'm the one who set the trap off! I'm always doing things like that! Now it got them killed!"

Alex broke out into hysterical tears as she covered her face. Their friends were dead and it was all her fault. As she was crying, her two friends wrapped her up in a hug, letting their tears flow.

"It's okay, Alex," Clover whispered. "We don't blame you for what happened and I'm sure the boys wouldn't either."

They knew from the start that being Spies was dangerous. They knew the risks and still did their jobs. Right now, they were facing one of the realities of the secret agent business. To be killed in action.

Sam wiped away her tears and said to her friends, "We need to keep going and complete the mission. They would have wanted it that way."

"But…I'm scared," Clover shook, holding herself. "They're gone. They sacrificed themselves to save us."

"We have to," Alex said, eyes still watering with tears. "We have to rescue those prisoners. For Leo and the guys. We can't let them die in vain."

The Spies then got back to their feet. They would not forget the sacrifice on the three brave Riders who had given up their lives to save them.

Helga watched through one the monitors, the two ninjas flanking her. Her trap had worked, well, sorta. At least the boys that were with the Spies were gone so now they were left in a distraught state.

"Everything is going as planned," Helga rubbed her hands together. "Even if those girls get here, they'll be too depressed to stop me." She turned and laughed, hands to her hips. "Soon, the fashion world will be mine once more!" She cackled.

"And when that happens, we'll get paid," Mirage said.

"Well said, brother," Façade complimented.

The room they were in had various monitors but what really took attention were several chairs where the designers were sitting in. Their hands and legs wee bound by metal shackles as helmets were forced onto their heads with cables and wires attached to a computer console. They all wore blank expressions on their faces as the computer began operating. One of them was Ryuki's mother.

"It was just so simple," Helga said as she strode over the captured designers. "Capture the most famous designers in the world and then siphon their ideas." She walked over to a helmet and put it on her own head. She pressed a button and purred. "Oh, yes! That's right! Fill me with your ideas Yes! Yes! YES!"

Mirage and Façade were disgusted with their current employer. The only reason they were even working for her these past few weeks was because of the offer the had been given. Helga had also paid them half of the amount, upfront, to buy them over. Once they were done here, they would move onto other jobs.

The only satisfaction was that the three Riders were gone for good.

The sounds of metallic doors sliding open announced the arrival of the Spies. Helga smirked as she saw their angry faces, but they also looked distraught at the demise of their little boyfriends.

"Why, hello again," Helga smirked. "How have you been since we last met?"

"Stow it, Helga!" Sam hissed. "You went to far this time! We're taking you in once and for all!"

"I doubt that," Helga snickered. "After all, I'm about to become the most popular designer in the world!"

"Like, what do you mean?" asked Clover.

"It's simple," Helga explained. "I am going to drain the ideas from all these popular designers and take their ideas for myself. I'll be a goddess among the fashion world! I'll be so rich I can buy off any jury who goes against me!"

"Not if we stop you first!" Alex retorted before she got ready to fight.

"You can try," Helga smirked. "Mirage! Façade! Get rid of these pests."

"With pleasure," the twins nodded before they began walking towards the Spies.

As they walked closer, the two ninjas summoned belts which the three girls could recognize as the same kind that the Riders had been using to change. Both twins then brought out green cases and held them out.

"Zodiac Force!" both ninjas cried. "Gemini!"

The twins snapped their cases onto their belts before both were engulfed in thick green smoke. It slowly began to clear, but now Mirage and Façade were donned in their armor, resembling chameleons.

"I am going to enjoy this," Mirage snickered.

"Oh, so much," Façade nodded.

Both Knights made a hand seal in front of the girls before their visors, resembling chameleon eyes, began to glow. The light then suddenly flashed as the Spies became blinded.

Alex was the first to recover before a gloved hand gripped her throat. She sputtered, trying to catch her breath before her eye widened at who she was seeing.

"Leo?" she squeaked.

Zodiac Knight Draco was the one holding her throat so tightly. The problem was that his armor was cracked and there was blood leaking through several of the seams.

Sam and Clover weren't faring any better. Both of them were being held at the neck by the Knight they fancied, but both Knights' armor was chipped, broken, and bleeding. The girls could actually tell that they were looking at zombified versions of the Riders.

"No thanks to you!" Draco gurgled, blood rising in his throat.

"Stupid bimbo!" Pluto growled at Clover. "Can't even do her job right!"

"I thought you were smart!" Jawz added, glaring at Sam. "I guess you aren't that smart after all. Look where it got us."

"It got us killed!" Draco roared. "And it's all your fault!"

"No!" Alex cried, beginning to cry. "I didn't know the trap was there!"

"Thus the point of it being called a trap!" snapped Pluto. "I thought Spies were supposed to be able to detect these things!"

"We overestimated your abilities," Jawz snorted.

"I'm sorry," Clover sobbed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Tazuka…" Sam quietly began to cry.

The Knights didn't listen to the girls' crying. As one, all three planted a kick into their stomachs, sending them sprawling to the floor. As the girls began gasping for air, they began to hear a familiar pair laughing at them. As they looked up, they saw Mirage and Façade laughing at them with the zombified Knights nowhere to be seen.

"How did you like our little show?" asked Mirage.

"Wasn't it a happy reunion?" teased Façade.

"You jerks!" Clover snapped. Her rage began to boil over. "How dare you do that?"

"You just spit on their memory?" Sam growled. "How can you do that?"

"They're dead and you think that's funny?" Alex growled.

"Of course," the twins spoke at once. They both drew a card from their belts. "We're still alive."

Both Knights reached to the chameleon heads on their left thighs and pulled out tongue-like lines with clips on the end. They attached their cards to them before letting the tongues pull the cards into the chameleon heads.

"Hold Vent: Bio-Yoyo!" both twins cried before circular devices that looked like swirling eyes appeared in their hands.

"Time to finish these girls off, brother," spoke Facade as she readied her Bio-Yoyo.

"Gladly, sister," the identically clad Mirage remarked as they set their sights on the Spies. They then hurled their weapons at the girls. At the speed the yoyos were traveling at, they would kill the girls on impact.

Well, they would have if they were allowed to hit.

All of a sudden, a red clad figure leapt in front of the Spies and kicked the first yoyo away before bashing away the second one. Alex's eyes widened as she saw who it was.

"LEO!" she cried out happily in surprise.

Draco turned towards the girls and said, "Didn't I tell you we'd meet up with you?" Alex ran over and hugged him. "Good to see you too, Alex-chan."

The yellow-clad spy had tears in her eyes as she looked into the green eyes of the red Knight. She wiped her tears away and smiled.

"You're alive?" Mirage screamed.

"But how?" Façade questioned, enraged and confused as well.

"Reflective surfaces," Draco said as he let go of Alex and turned his attention towards the two Gemini Knights. "The walls were so clean that you could see your reflection in them."

Mirage and Façade growled. Façade had spoken first, "That moron and her shiny devices."

"Well, at least now we can kill you ourselves!" Mirage roared before rushing towards Draco.

"That's what you think!" someone yelled. Mirage looked up to see Pluto, with his sword drawn, leaping towards him and slashing him across the chest.

"Brother!" Façade yelled out before she was shot in the chest.

"News of our demise has been greatly exaggerated," said Jawz as he appeared, armed with his SB-Cell in Ray Gun Mode. "Sorry we're late, girls," he said.

The Spies ran over to the armored boys and trapped each of them in a powerful hug.

"Don't you dare scare us like that again!" Sam shivered in Jawz's arms. "I thought you were really dead!"

"Sorry," Jawz sighed as he held the relieved and emotionally upset redhead.

"You jerk," Clover sniffed into Pluto's shoulder. "You owe me lots of ice cream to cheer me up with. I thought you'd been killed!"

"I thought I lost you," Alex sobbed into Draco's shoulder. "I thought you were dead and it was all my fault."

"Gomen," Draco apologized. "I'll make it up to you."

Despite the obvious emotional uprising that was part of the tender scene, Mirage and Façade were not in the mood to let their enemies have their little reunion.

"Girls, go and free the prisoners," Jawz said as the Riders turned to face the Gemini Ninjas.

"I owe them for kidnapping okaasan," Draco growled.

"You two do that," Pluto said as he looked at the equipment holding the designers prisoners as well as the helmets which were siphoning their minds of ideas. It looked really complicated and one wrong move could mean disaster. "I'll help the girls."

Draco and Jawz nodded before facing the two Chameleon Knights.

Mirage looked a bit nervous but then he put on a brave face, "Well, at least this lets us finish you off personally!" Mirage threw his Bio-Yoyo at Draco but the Dragon Knight dodged and launched a fireball dead centre into his chest. Mirage screamed as his chest armor exploded from the impact. Enraged, Façade charged and swiped at Draco only to receive a kick in the faceplate from Jawz.

"Ikuzo!" Draco cried as he charged forward, sliding a card into his gauntlet. "Sword Vent: Dragon Flame Saber!"

"Swing Vent: Sting Whip!" Jawz called as he activated his card too. Appearing in his hand was a barbed whip while a saber appeared in Draco's hand.

The two Chameleon Knights were in deep trouble now.

Helga had tried to make her escape only to be stopped by the Spies. She attempted to back away but couldn't find a way out. She tried to fight but one against three wasn't exactly fair odds so she went down, hard. The Spies were handcuffing her as Pluto was at the machine, tapping the keys to release the prisoners.

"Can't you, like, do it any faster?" Clover asked impatiently. Seeing a zombified version of the Knight she was standing next to still chilled her to the bone. At least she knew that this was the real deal and not some sort of illusion.

"I have to be careful," Pluto said. "If I'm not I may fry their brains." He was being really blunt. Clover backed away.

"OK, I'll let you work." She didn't want to spoil his concentration.

Mirage and Façade weren't faring quite well. Whip lashes and sword slashes caused sparks to fly off their armors as the two Knights working for Smart Brain were dealing massive damage on them. Mirage eyes Alex and started to grin. He then pulled out a new card and clipped it to the line before it was pulled into his card reader.

"Final Vent!" he called out as his Biomeleon shimmered into view. The monster threw its tongue at the rafters, allowing it to swing down. Mirage flipped onto his hands and then tongue wrapped around his legs before catapulting him towards Alex. On an armored Knight it was still a potentially fatal move, but on an unprotected human…

"Alex-chan! Nigette!" Draco warned but Alex screamed as Mirage came at her to kill her. However, she was soon taken out of the way as a black blur rushed past and grabbed her before Mirage could. Mirage, seeing that his target had moved, did a flip in mid-air and kicked off the walls before landing on his feet.

"Who dares?" he demanded, enraged that his attack had been interrupted. Everyone in the vicinity turned their eyes towards Alex and the one who rescued her. To say they were surprised was an understatement.

It was Zodiac Knight Copycat.

Copycat let go of Alex and turned to face the crowd. None of the Knights fully trusted her since she was just as bad as Scorpios, if not worse. She would target any and all Knights that got in her way. To her, all were targets. She had no allies and no partners. She was a lone Knight…a very dangerous lone Knight.

She stalked over towards Mirage and slid a card into a slot on the handle of her whip. "Strike Vent: Feline Claws." Large clawed gauntlets appeared on her arms before she charged straight away at the stunned green clad Knight. She then proceeded to slash at him relentlessly, eliciting cries of pain from him.

"Brother!" Façade screamed as she saw her brother in pain. She instantly forgot her battle with Jawz as she charged to save her brother.

"You're next, sweetie!" Copycat hissed as she sent a powerful kick into Mirage's chest, knocking him to the ground. His breathing was labored and he was writhing in pain.

Façade lunged with her Bio-Yoyo, but Copycat cut the string with her claws and charged forward. The feline Knight lay down several slashes across Façade, making her scream. A double-handed stab knocked her down next to her brother.

Copycat dismissed her claws and gripped the Chameleon Knights' throats. Hauling them to their feet, she glared into their visors which she secretly hoped had fear behind them.

"Don't you dare let me catch you near my mama again," she hissed. "Or not only will I take your powers, but I'll take your lives too."

Copycat then dropped the two groaning Knights to the floor again. The Spies could only watch in shock at how viciously she had defeated the two Gemini Knights. Draco and Jawz were watching as she attacked the twins. Even Pluto was stunned.

"Don't gawk at me!" Copycat growled at the Dog Knight. "Get them out of there!"

Her words were enough to stun Pluto out of his shock as he went back to work. For some reason, her level of anger reminded him of some of his more vengeful ex-girlfriends, the ones who figured that it was his fault that they broke up.

"Copycat," Draco called. "What are you doing here? Why are you even helping?"

Jawz himself knew. He has foreseen her identity sometime in the future. Despite her other faults, Copycat loved her mother very much and would do anything for her. Finding that Mirage and Façade were the ones who kidnapped her just put large targets on their backs.

"You don't need to know," Copycat grumbled. She then turned to leave despite what Draco tried to do to catch her attention. "Sayonara," Copycat waved before she slipped through one of the reflective steel surfaces of Helga's machine.

Draco nodded and whispered, "Arigatou," under his breath. He was grateful that she had come to help, even if it was unintentional.

"Uh…who was that?" asked Sam, clearly confused. All this was confusing.

"Trouble," Jawz replied. "Best remember to never mess with her. You probably won't win."

"Hey, guys!" Pluto called. He was still looking over the machine that he was working with. "I think I got them out. Should be safe now." He had examined the data and discovered that the ideas of the designers were saved inside. All he had to do was to upload them into the right minds.

"Should be?" asked Draco. "My okaasan is attached to that thing!"

"Hey, I'm not the one who built this thing!" Pluto replied. "I can't be one hundred percent sure how this thing works."

As the Knights of the Dragon and the Dog were arguing, the numerous designers were beginning to wake up from their trance. Many of them began wondering where they were while other ones were deathly afraid, remembering the chameleon monsters which had taken them. Emiko blinked sleepy as she rubbed her eyes. She pondered where she was, remembering being in her studio, but the questions left her head when she spied the Knight donned in red.

"Ryuki-kun!" she suddenly squealed.

"Okaasan?" Draco asked suddenly at hearing her voice. As he turned to see if it was his mother, he was quickly engulfed in a hug by the happy mother.

"Oh, Ryuki-kun!" she cried. "You and your friends helped save me, didn't you?" She was so proud of her heroic son.

"Ano…hai," Draco nodded. His mother had a tendency to become too overly emotional at these times, causing great embarrassment for himself in the process. She was a very expressive woman.

"Oooh! I'm so proud of you!" Emiko squealed as she continued to hug her son.

"Okasaan!" Draco cried. "I'm working!" Even though nobody could see his face under that helmet, he was still blushing in embarrassment as his mother hugged him.

"Good work, all of you," Jerry smiled as he debriefed the Spies and Riders. After the designers were proven to be healthy, Sam called in WOOHP. "The designers are being flown back home as we speak."

"Well that's good," Clover smiled. "If only Helga's brand was left then I'd gladly take social exile." Clover had originally gushed over the designers they'd saved, hoping they would be so grateful that they would hire her as a model or something. It would've been a dream come true for her.

"Well, no worries about that," Jerry nodded. "Helga's being taken into custody as we speak. Now, what about those two mercenaries you mentioned?"

"Mirage and Façade?" asked Tazuka. "Didn't you pick them up?"

"No," Jerry blinked. "It was only you all and Helga when I got here. I assumed you were holding them elsewhere."

"But if you guys didn't get them…" Takada blinked. His eyes then widened and he turned to where the twin Chameleon Knights had been laying on the ground, assumingly out cold. All that remained were two sets of inhuman tracks which led to a shiny surface of Helga's machine. "Oh, snakeface is gonna kill us," the Dog Knight groaned. Mirage and Façade must've escaped with the aid of their Biomeleons.

"Well," Ryuki sighed. "At least we saved all the designers." Ryuki then led his mother over to the girls. "Okaasan, I'd like you to meet Alex-chan, Sam-san and Clover san," he introduced. Emiko noticed the 'chan' suffix being used when he said Alex's name and immediately knew that her son had taken a liking towards the girl. The girl seemed to freeze a bit. They were standing in front of one of the most famous designers in the world.

"Thank you, girls," Emiko said as she bowed, "For rescuing me and the others."

"Hey, it's what we do," Alex said, feeling slightly nervous. She really liked Ryuki and meeting the parent of the boy she liked was a pretty big step when it came to relationships.

"For that, I wish to repay you," Emiko said. Ryuki could see the gleam in her eyes. He knew it all too well.
