Arachna Power (episode)

All hope seems lost for the Spider Riders as Mantid revives his Ark Of Destiny and moves to strike them again with its power.

Full Recap
All hope seems lost for the Spider Riders as Mantid revives his Ark Of Destiny. All eyes turn to Hunter as the last hope for the Inner World. But even Hunter and Shadow seem too weak to pose any threat to Mantid and his plans for revenge. Mantid delivers his final, fatal blow only to be blocked by a mysterious light emanating from the two Oracle Keys. With renewed energy, Hunter and Shadow attack, damaging the Ark.

Enraged, Mantid moves to finish them off, only to be blocked this time by Buguese, Beerain and Stags. Once Buguese delivers the two keys, Hunter uses the combined power of all four Oracle Keys and attacks the ark. With the help of Handmaids; Aqune and Corona, the Spirit Oracle draws back her power from Mantid. Seeing his opportunity to rid the Inner World of it’s nemesis, Hunter grows enraged and attacks.

Corona and Aqune watch with sorrow and fear as Hunter, allowing his anger to consume him begins using the Oracle’s power with hatred, but the Oracle herself appears at last to stop him herself. The Oracle cries, Mantid is confused and then throws accusations at the Oracle, blaming her for his suffering. Hunter and Shadow argue that while Mantid's suffering was great, he retreated from the world and allowed his tragedies to darken and consume his heart. Mantid argues that he had no choice in the matter, and simply became weary of the seemingly endless fighting and loss. He then claims that Hunter will turn out just as he did. Hunter refuse to believe this, and offers to help Mantid. Mantid is taken aback, but accepts.

The Oracle also wishes to help and grants Mantid’s true desire to become human again and reunites him with his lost Loraine. With Mantid gone and the Oracle sun back to full strength, Invectids and humans alike from all over the Inner World begin to celebrate. Grasshop reunites with his family again and tells them about the battle, Quake’s spirit moves on with the Lost Mariner, and Hunter and his friends happily head toward their next adventure.
