Summary
The Spider Riders end up in a place where they are offered the decision to give up their lives as Spider Riders and live peacefully. Will Hunter and the others throw away their Manacle's and obligations to live peaceful lives?

Plot
When Hunter, Corona, Magma and their spiders regain consciousness, they find themselves on an island with a deep forest. Meanwhile, Igneous and Luman have arrived in Numah and head for the castle, until the Prince is sidetracked by pretty girl. Sparkle and Grasshop have also made it to the city unnoticed and decide to follow the two. After scouting the island, Magma and Brutus find that the forest is the only way out. Before they continue on, Aqune appears, ready to fight but her mask shatters and crumbles from her face when she tries to call upon the Oracle Keys power again, releasing her and Portia from their spell. Hunter comes to Aqune's aid who then regains consciousness and after a joyous reunion between brother and sister spiders Brutus and Portia, they decide to continue into the forest with Aqune. Corona does not like the idea as she does not trust Aqune, but Hunter tells Corona they can't just leave her here and Magma points out that the Infectids are going to be looking for her and Brutus and his sister will be separated again. Corona agrees hesitantly and seconds later Buguese attacks, determined to capture the Oracle Keys and Aqune.

During all the fighting a tear in reality opens, sucking the Spider Riders and their spiders up, one by one, and leaving only Buguese behind to wonder what happened. The Spider Riders then find themselves in what appears to be a paradise and a seemingly kind woman tries to persuade them into giving up fighting and just enjoy their lives in peace.

Hunter and Shadow begin to fall under the woman's spell and Hunter is almost tempted to throw away his manacle, but the Oracle calls out to them. With everyone else relaxing and declaring they are giving up their spider rider waves even Aqune joins in. Both Hunter and Shadow shake off the woman's spell and demand to be freed. As if on command, they all end up back in the forest where they began and come face to face with a mysterious old man.
