Hunter is almost killed by a giant, talking spider named Shadow until the unlikely pair are forced to team-up as Spider and Rider to combat the Invectid forces of the evil Mantid. But will their uneasy alliance survive the battle?

Mantid strives to find the four keys of the Oracle. Grassho comes in, wishing to help, but Mantid claims that this mission is far too important for Grasshop, so he sends the eager Invectid out to distract the Spider Riders while Buguese and Aqune head for the Oracle Shrine. Grasshop challenges the Riders to a set of matches with very unfair rules...the opponent tires the Rider out then strikes when the enemy is down. The Riders end up foiling these plans...Meanwhile Aqune and Buguese have some difficulty opening the seal to the Shrine. Magma is watching the duel between Grasshop and the Riders from afar...and when Grasshop finally steps up to the challenge and pins Hunter down, Magma comes to the rescue. A defeated Grasshop, determined to take Buguese down with him "accidentally" spills the secret that Buguese and Aqune are at the Oracle Shrine, giving the Riders a chance to confront the two. As the Riders head off towards the Oracle Shrine, it seems through the power of teamwork, Aqune and Buguese have managed to break the seal. Now the inner shrine awaits them.
