Faces of Fear

Full Recap
Mantid intends to use his Ark Of Destiny to ascend to and conquer the Outer World with the Oracle’s power and to take revenge on the Oracle, to whom he dedicated his life to defend only to lose all those close to him including Loraine, the one he loved most in the process.

Mantid entices Hunter into making another futile attack. Mantid repels his attack easily, revealing his motivation for destroying the Inner World. Like, Hunter, he too was summoned from the Outer World to fight for Oracle. But in the battle he lost all that was dear to him and has now devoted his life to revenge. Facing yet another devastating attack from the Ark, Quake performs a transformation of his own, calling out his Spider, Dagger, and transforming into his younger self; the Hero Quake. Together the Spider Riders destroy the Ark. But victory is seemingly snatched away when Mantid simply resurrects it before their eyes. With Quake's strength depleted, all seems lost.

But Buguese, after being rescued by Beerain and Stags, finds hope when he discovers the two abandoned Oracle Keys still glimmer with a faint light.
