Never Give Up

Hunter and Corona are on their way to Arachna Castle, the home of the Spider Riders. On the way, they must save a village being attacked by Invectids led by Grasshop of the Big Four.

Full Recap
Hunter Steele and Shadow don't seem to be getting along, and Spider Rider Corona is fed up with their childish behavior. So she decides to show Hunter a few tricks of the trade, such as de-morphing. She also explains that he will have to come with her to Arachna Castle.

While on their travels, Corona explains much about the Inner World to Hunter, and after insulting Shadow, explains plenty more about the Spiders. When it seems like they will get to the castle soon, Corona receives a message from Venus saying that a village where Corona and Hunter are near to. So being Spider Riders they go to help.

Upon arriving you are introduced to Grasshop of the Big Four, who is a bit of a big mouth, but none the less gives the powerless humans a chance to defend themselves by fighting his one, that's right "one" Invectid warrior in a duel. After not finding someone to fight his warrior he just decides to pick one, but before the human can except his offer Hunter jumps into the ring out of no where.

Hunter and Grasshop exchange comments, until Hunter reveals he's a Spider Rider. Upon showing his manacle he attempts to activate it by yelling.

It doesn't work that way. After this failed attempt to morph he fights a losing battle with the warrior. All seems lost, and it looks like this hero will have his flame put out pretty early in his hero career, but Shadow finally deciding to help him welcomes himself into the fray. Hunter along with Shadow easily defeat the Invectid warrior, and all seems fine. But Grasshop goes back on his word to leave the village if his warrior lost and launches an attack. Corona now teamed with Venus morphs in time to help Hunter.

Corona and Hunter along with Venus and Shadow walk into the sunset as Corona attempts to explain the partnership between Hunter and Shadow to Venus.
