Plot
While lost in a dense fog, the Spider Riders stumble upon to what appears to be a Ghost Ship piloted by the legendary Lost Mariner. Meanwhile, Grasshop, Princess Sparkle and Hotarla struggle to catch up to their ship in their flying machine.

The Lost Mariner leads Hunter his friends into the thick of the fog where Beerain and her Buzzrays can't find them. Soon Sparkle and Grasshop arrive and crash aboard ship in the chaos.

The riders safety seems assured, until Aqune and Portia appear out of nowhere and attack, with Aqune stealing one of Hunter's Oracle Keys.

Quotes

 * "The Flying Dutchman was a ghost ship doomed to roam the seas, never to find it's way home again. It always appeared out a dense fog like this one.

Ships like ours are sitting ducks for the phantom ghost ships..."- Hunter explains the history of the Flying Dutchman to the other riders.
