The young boys are Riders!
In order to stop the Black Blight that has spread through the world, everyone came together and confronted it as one.
And, in the end, what ended up saving the world was;
the power of kinship.
A reunion was held after light was returned to the hometown of Hakum Village,
and they finally managed to return back to the peaceful days.
However!
To everyone's surprise, Ayuria has been captured by the mysterious group of Riders calling themselves the Black Riders.
Once again, what's the truth behind the Black Riders that has kidnapped Ayuria...?
This programme was brought to you by the development company Capcom, the people who created the fun times;
and the following sponsors on the screen!
What are they!? The Black Riders?
Since they have 'Riders' in their name, so they must be Riders...
Yeah.
But for what reason did they capture Ayuria...?
They mentioned something about kinship stones, so that concerns me...
There seems to be some sort of reason.
Mmhm.
Even so, we must go and save Ayuria!
The Ayuria that accompanied you to the Tower of Mirages, huh?
Hey, would you be able to tell us in more detail about what sort of Riders they were?
To be frank, these potraits are a bit... you know?
Mmm...
They were fully clad in armour and seemed weally intimeowdating.
So in other words, you were unable to see their faces, right?
That's wight.
Just as we finally managed to save the world from the Black Blight, for something like this to happen...
What do you think, Chief Omuna?
Hmm! If I recall correctly, Ayuria is the sole living survivor of the Kuan Village, yes?
Yeah.
I believe that factor may have some connection to the current situation.
Eh?
Even I do not know the full details, however,
I've heard that the Riders from Ayuria's village are a clan that possesses a certain special ability exclusive to Riders.
A clan that possess a special ability?
So, I think we could assume the Riders that captured Ayuria also knows about the special abilities of that particular clan?
Mm, although there are some things we can't be certain of.
Even so, I can't forgive them for taking Ayuria!!
Yeah.
Those Black Riders might be aiming for a Rider-specific special power.
Because even I was totally absorbed in wanting to gain more power, and became oblivious to everything else around me.
We must go save Ayuria!
Yeah! Chief, it's alright to go save Ayuria, right?!
Mmm, I understand very well of your feelings of not wanting to leave your friend as is.
However, even we must proceed with caution.
Yeah, Lute! Even if you have to go save her, you still have to be careful!
Okay, I know! I won't do anything reckless!
Anyhow, Lute will have I, the world's best Navigator tagging along with him, so it'll be alright!
Ahahahaha!
What really are they...? The Black Riders...
Why do you want my kinship stone so badly?!
I know the answer to your question, but,
I have no intention of telling you.
You also have no need to know.
Master Anbis! Would it be fine to put this person in the jails?
Hmm.
Come now, it'd be best if you stayed a good little girl.
That's right! If you didn't want to be eaten up be Rath bro, here.
Wahahha! I'll eat you up alright!!
Chief Omuna, what do we do now?
Hmm, to be honest, I really do no want to endanger anyone, however,
you know very well it's no use trying to stop Lute.
You're right...
It can't be helped.
Dan, would you be able to take Genie and the others and go with Lute?
And, if you see them about to do something reckless, please take care of it.
Yes, of course!
Chief, I have a favour to ask!
What's wrong, Nariki?
Please let me go! I've finally become a Rider, I want to be of use to everyone!
You're still but a novice!
I'll do my best not to get in anyone's way!
So, please!
Looks like it's no use trying to stop you too, huh? You're very similar to Lute.
Then...!
But you know, Nariki, protecting the village is one of a Rider's important duties.
You'll stay in the village, and protect it in place of your seniors.
That is your current duty. Do you understand?
Yes! I'll protect the village!
What do you think, Gael?
Of what, Shadow-nee?
Bringing that young lady here, of course.
I wonder what it means...
We've never keep a rider captive here even though we've already taken their kinship stone.
I see...
Master Anbis must have his reasons for doing so.
Even then, that girl seems to have quite a fine kinship stone.
I don't think, the girl's Rider friends would stay quiet about this.
Will they?
It's not like she has any, wasn't her whole village annihilated?
So she's all alone, eh.
I'm not talking about the lot from her village. I'm talking about the bunch that stopped the Black Blight.
Oh. The ones from Hakum Village?
Well, I'll remove anyone that gets in my way and eat them up.
At any rate, the words of us utilising kinship stones would have spread amongst Riders by now.
It's becoming more interesting now.
Just imagining the expressions of the powerless riders when they cower before us is...
A good feeling.
Mad, you'll meet with regret if you let your guard down.
Even though that's an interesting thought in itself.
Hmph! Bring it any time!
My target is to steal the kinship stone of the Rider who rides upon the one-eyed Rathalos...
You mean Lute?
I'm also interested in his kinship stone.
You're wanting a go at it, too? I won't let you.
Ah, I see, seems like Shadow-nee is also interested in this.
Wait up!! I want in too! His kinship stone will be mine to take!
We'll see about that~
Fools.
All kinship stones are to be offered to our Master Anbis.
Until we fulfill this duty...
I need that kinship stone.
The one held by the Rider with the one-eyed Rathalos...
Go forth, Gael!
Aw yeah! Understood, Master Anbis!
Sorry about that, Madd and Rath bro, Shadow-nee.
Why do you get to do it?
I don't like this.
Well then, I'm looking forwards to this.
Okay! Nariki, try Riding On!
Yes, sir!
You can do it, Nariki! Aren't you going to protect the village?
Ride On!
Velocidrome!
Yeah!
Alright!
I did it! I did it!!!
Hey Nariki! Don't run around without thinking!
You have to become one with the heart of your Monstie!!
Okay! I know!!
Yahoo! Go! Go!
Keep it up, Nariki!
Do it properly, Nariki, properly!
I'll go and have a look.
Anyway, it's the birth of a new Rider.
Agreed!
I have to do my best as well!
Oh! I mean, why do Riders that steal the kinship stones of others exist,
what are their motives, I want to look into it as a Scrivener!
Oh!
I intend to discuss this with Captain Simone!
Look at how my Lilia has grown!
I've been briefed on the situation.
Captain Simone! Mr Reverto!
Even Deb!
...li!
Say it right! It won't hurt to try say it right!!
Lilia, of course I'll allow your desire and determination to research into the Black Riders.
Thank you!
Don't just ignore that!!
We were in the midst of returning to Gildegaran when we heard news about the mysterious riders,
so we turned back around hastily.
I heard about how Ayuria was kidnapped.
Is that true!?
Yes. I believe it's true.
Damn! How could they!
Those guys seems to be using kinship stones all over the place, there's no doubt about it.
I see, that's right.
You're worried, aren't you?
About Ayuria, and everyone's stones.
Research to your heart's content, Lilia.
As a Scrivener, and one who holds Riders as friends, you certainly can't leave this situation alone.
Yes!
I'll do what I can here with gathering information, too.
Just you wait! I'll show you that my information is reliable, too.
Thank you so much! Captain Simone, Mr Reverto!
Oi! Don't just ignore me!
Thanks, Deb!
Why can't you say it right!
Li!
You did that on purpose, didn't you!
Is Ayuria the sole survivor of that Village?
Yes.
I've also heard many mysteries about that village.
I intend to investigate that on my end too.
Okay, I'll leave it up to you.
Frostfang... please endure this for a bit longer.
I'll definitely get you out of here.
Here. Your meal.
If you want to look after your Monstie, you'll need to eat, otherwise you won't last.
Thank you.
Lil lady.
Let me tell you something.
Right now you're powerless. You can't do anything by yourself.
Naturally, you don't even possess the strength to break these chains.
Don't forget that.
Well, if you could bite off these chains like Rath bro could, then it'd be a different story~
What are you trying to do?!
Of course, it's kinship stone hunting!
Of the world's best Rider's!
Eh?!
Lute has Navirou.
Let's put aside the fact if he really is doing the job of a Navigator or not.
Nyaru!
And with that, we've decided to help all of you Riders!
Heh, even then, you seem weak.
That might be so now, my dream is to be the world's best Rider!
Haha! Then without me, it'd be impossible.
Alright, I'll be your Navigator!
However! You have to call me senpai!
Okay... Senpai. I'll let you look after me.
Hahah! You're funny!
What's with you?!
Cheval.
As someone who is cool, I'm interested in you who is also cool.
Would you like to team up with me?
Sure. That'd be reassuring.
Chamo wants to go with Mille-mille.
Mille-mille? Then you're Chamo-chamo!
Hyoro, we're both types that like to keep to ourselves, so I thought we'd get along.
I had that feeling, too.
Ahaha! Everyone's got a Navi with them, Navirou!
But it doesn't change the fact that the world's best Navigator is Navirou!
I'll go with you, Lilia.
I want to know a lot of things as well, about the Black Riders.
Is that so!? It'd be great to have you!
Hey! I'll be of use too! I'll be able to get information from my info network.
That seems like it'd be useful.
Right?
Fake info?
IT'S NOT FAKE!!!
I'm just kidding. I expect great things of you, Deb...
Shall we get moving then?
...li.
Even you?! Can't you say Debli normally?!
Chief, then I'll leave the village to you.
I'll try to return as soon as possible.
Of course, Nariki's here too.
Yeah, we'll be all good even with just us.
I'll leave it to you, Mr Gamigami.
There's no need to worry.
What are the group known as the Black Riders aiming for? What are they choosing to do?
I would everyone to decide for themselves by viewing it with a clear, unclouded eye.
But also, good care of yourselves.
Yes!
Excuse me, but, I haven't seen Lute around for a while now...
Lute said he was going to take one last look around the village.
I'm sure he wanted to stay.
After all, everyone just came back!! And now... you have to leave...
I'll be lonely!!
We promise we'll come back, Loloa! Don't cry!
We're bound by our kinship, always!
That's right!!! Our hearts are always connected!!
Mmm!
Hakum Forest is completely back to its old self!
The Black Blight is no more! You can rest easy now and go looking for Ayuria.
Yeah! But what in the world are the Black Riders?
Hmm... a mystery, alright.
Yo, yo~ Rathalos Rider!
Aren't you looking well?
As expected of a Rider who at least stopped the Black Blight.
But, something's perked my interest... Namely you.
Huh?! What's up with you?
A Rathalos?
Huge!!
I've never seen a Rathalos like that.
Are you surprised?! This is the Silver Rathalos of Gael-sama!
Silver rare?
I'm Gael!
I'm Nutts!
And this one here is my Monstie, Dusk. Nice to meet you, Lute.
Why do you know of me?
Be careful Lute, someone who hides their face must be super suspicious!
Come to think of it, surely y-you're not a Black Rider??
Is that so?
I wonder~ what do you think?
Well, come on, don't be so stiff. Let's get along, since we're both Rathalos Riders.
Yeah, yeah! Nicely, nicely!
I heard you guys have captured Ayuria, give her back!
Well, I'll admit that.
Then, hurry up!
Before that! Come at me, Lute.
Come at what?
That, of course, is!
A battle, obviously.
Eh? I have no intention of fighting a fellow Rider! I just want you to return Ayuria to us!
Ah, I see. Then we have no choice but to fight, you know.
Huh? Why?! Why do y-
That! That kinship stone is what I want.
But if I told you to give it to me you wouldn't do it, would you? Then, that's how it is.
Lute, it'd be best for us to head back to the village!
You'd think we'd let you?
And that's that. Here we go!
Sync Ride!
W-what do we do, Lute?!
Ride On!
Rathalos!
Lute, he's here!
He's Fast!!
What speed!
Ratha!! Above!!
Wait up, you!!
Like I'd let you escape! Go, Dusk!
W-what a guy! Now it's come to this, Navirou will help!
Lilia entrusted me with a lot of items for a time like this!
Umm... this isn't it, not this, either... what's this? Sonic bomb!
Well then, Mr. World's Best Rider!! I'll be taking your kinship stone!!
Woo!
You ain't much, are ya?
I'm Lute! What with this guy?! He's super strong!
A Rite of Channeling is the only way to retaliate?
I don't really get it but, gotta hurry!
