In other news, the former location of Pantheon has been swallowed by strange vegetation and there is no indication that the vegetation will stop. Stay tuned as more breaking news comes within the hour."
Cade, Sarah, Luke, and the others are at the office watching Jack and the other dark Riders through the one way glass. Detective Watkins arrives and hands them a manilla folder filled with documents.
"Cade, I just need you and the rest to sign these witness statements. That's to ensure that your testimony will be used against them."
"Sir, did you find anything at the scene?"
"Yes I did. And I hope you know what they are."
Watkins gives them several Driver Belts and the Fruitlocks that were once used by the dark Riders.
"So, what do you plan to do with them?"
"I don't know but that's up to you."
"Well, I'll keep the cherry energy lock. I can combine it with my orange one. The rest I will kindly throw away. We can't have anyone use these ever again."
"Of course, there's disposal unit on the other side of the headquarters. But we need at least one for the prosecution so you can show the jury what they do."
"Yeah, I'll give you these two only."
"Good, you can throw the rest away. Now Ms. Storms, the DA has agreed to drop all charges against you as long as you testify against your former bosses."
"Of course. When do I show up?"
"We'll let you know when trial date is. Just a fair warning to you all, I expect you alive and kicking for this trial. If anything happens to you the case is over and they walk. Just stay alive for your sake and our sake. And don't worry about your secret, I won't tell anyone. You guys are free to go."
"Yes sir."
The group walks out of the police station and ponder their next move. However, Cade begins to see visions of portals that are too far for the others to see.
"Guys, I don't know if it's just me, but I'm seeing portals spring up out of nowhere."
"Really? I don't see anything."
"Well, I do. I need you guys to follow me so I can see where they go."
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"I don't know. Ever since I got the Emperor Lock things have been getting weird. Plus the woman I saw in my visions came to me in my dreams and talked about my dad."
"Really? I saw that woman too. She gave me this Driver Belt and energy lock."
"Are you serious?"
"I am. Hey Cade, if you think there are portals then we'll go with you."
"Hey Sarah, are you up for this? Are you guys for this."
"Yeah. As long as I'm with you I am safe."
"Uh okay. Come on let's go."
Cade throws away the Driver Belts and locks into the disposal unit and head out to the forest. Sarah holds Cade's hand as they head to the portal that he saw in his visions. Meanwhile, a kid on a skateboard listening to music notices the dumped Driver Belt that was used by Matthew and picks it up.
The group finds the portal that Cade was seeing through his visions. They enter the forest and discover blood on the floor.
"Hey guys, look over here. There's the blood we found last time."
"Yeah, let me see that."
Cade touches the blood and suddenly he sees visions of Julian being taken by Ventricus to the village. He also sees him recover at the hut and then sees visions of his father.
"Guys, someone was here. And they were taken to a weird village."
"How do you know?"
"My visions I guess."
"Are you okay dude? It seems you're seeing things."
"It's my visions. I promise you. We have to follow the trail."
The group follow the blood trail to a ravine and the trail stops. The group looks around to see where the trail is until a group of Chimera Gorven attack them out of nowhere.
"Not this again! Well guys, let's do this again."
"Right. Transform!"
"Transform!"
"Orange, Cherry Energy!"
"Lemon Energy!"
"Peach Energy!"
"Pine Cone Energy!"
"Acorn!"
"Walnut!"
"Locks On!"
"Soda!"
"Jimber Cherry Arms!"
"Peach Energy Arms!"
"Lemon Energy Arms!"
"Pine Cone Energy Arms!"
"Acorn Arms!"
"Walnut Arms!"
The Riders attack the Gorven, but Samurai's new combination acts strangely as he speeds up against the Gorven and attacks them with speed.
"Wow, did you see that?"
"Yeah, that was cool. Do that again!"
Samurai speeds up again and takes down the Gorven again. One of the Gorven attempts to kill Samurai, but Captain Marvelous appears out of nowhere to help and blasts it.
"What are you doing here? I thought were long gone after the attack."
"The Earth's still in danger and I figured I stay until it's protected."
"Alright, let's do this."
"Right, Sky Raider Power!"
Marvelous morphs and helps the Riders defeat all the Gorven. One by one the Gorven are destroyed, but not before they decide to combine their attacks to finish the remaining Chimera Gorven off.
"Peach Pit Shot!"
"Lemon Merengue Shot!"
"Pine Cone Slash!"
"Walnut Breaker!"
"Acorn Buster!"
"Cherry Soda Shot!
"Sky Raider Final Strike!"
The combined attacks destroy them and they regroup to continue their search for Julian.
"Marvelous, how did you get here?"
"I told you, I never left this place. Wizard told me that you guys were in danger and I decided to stay. John is also keeping tabs on you guys."
"Nice."
"Yep, and you are?"
"I'm Sarah. I'm Cade's...girlfriend. Yes, girlfriend!"
"Uh, okay. Hey man, is she really your girlfriend?"
"Just go with it Marvelous. At this point I'd rather not disappoint her."
"Yep, I get you. Me and my wife met the same way, except she worked at the mall."
"Cool."
"Hey guys, shouldn't we find that guy who was bleeding here?"
"Of course. Hey Marvelous, you mind coming with us?"
"Not at all. Let's go."
The group follow the trail in the hopes to find Julian. Cade however is not aware of who he is and who the person was that lost a lot of blood. They spend minutes combing through the forest until they encounter a group of Deer Gorven that were walking through. However, the Deer Gorven walk past them without even knowing they were there. Confused, they continue on, until they encounter Dragon Slayer.
"You gotta be kidding me. Not you again Matthew. How the hell did you even show up here?"
"Uh, I'm not Matthew."
"Then who are you?"
"I'm Max."
"Okay and what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help."
