These kids are Riders.
And they form kinship with Monsters.
Anvis of the Ebon Riders destroyed Geo-Fulkright with his newly acquired power.
Gildegaran's authorities held an emergency defense meeting.
Lute's group, alongside fellow Riders and Hunters, gathered to prepare for Anvis's attack.
The decisive battle is about to begin.

Episode 73 Arrival of the Steel Dragon
Everyone assumed their positions!
Same for Felynes!
I haven't seen you around here.
Are you new?
Yeah.
Actually, my boss has fired me even though I've been doing good job, and I had no place to go.
These days everyone has it tough…
…but your case seems especially nasty.
Yeah…
He'll be here soon.
Yeah.
Where is he?
Hm?
Found him!
All hands, get ready for battle!
Yes sir!
Ride On!
Rathalos!
Ride On!
Rathian!
Ride On!
Seregios!
Ride On!
Zinogre!
Ride On!
Brachydios!
Gunlancers squad! Advance!
Endure it!
Squad Two! Start throwing poison smoke bombs!
Meow! Meow! Meow!
Great! So far so good!
Squad Three! Heavy Bowguns! Open fire!
Don't be stingy with those poison bombs!
The Dragon Wind Pressure is getting weaker.
Let's not waste this chance!
Ballista squad! Open fire!
We'll join, too!
Savage Fireball!
Scorching Slice!
Thunderbug Strike!
Diffused Heat Ray!
High Power Diffused Dragon Breath!
They did it! They got him!
What?! Not even a scratch?
The ballista squad is gone!
That was the heart of our offense!
Can you stand up?
Hang in there.
Zinrai!
Legion!
This isn't good! We'll collapse if this continues!
I'll take him on!
Nariki!
Blast Blow!
You worm.
Lute!?
Lute's attack went through!
Your were Lute, if I remember correctly.
What if I am?
Lute, why do you fight me?
Isn't it obvious!?
I'm here to protect everyone from you!
I could ask you the same thing. Why are you attacking everyone?!
Because I am stronger than everyone.
The strong should eradicate the weak.
I don't need any reason other than that.
I'm not gonna accept that twisted way of thinking!
Whether you accept it or not, I'm still stronger than you.
Strength is power.
And power is everything.
You're wrong!
You're just thinking about yourself. Selfishness isn't strength!
Interesting.
If what you say is true and I'm not strong…
…then what about this?
Ratha!
Don't lose to him, Ratha!
Lute!
Dammit…!
What's this? You're finished already?
Ra-Ratha…
Stop it! Get away from him!
Ahh! Lute!
I… I'll never… lose to you.
Hmph.
Kushala Daora!
Somebody stop him!
Cheval…
Lute!
You were nothing but talk, after all.
Now's our chance! Advance at full speed!
We'll pick up Lute and Cheval!
Yeah!
Listen carefully, worms!
I am Anvis, the new ruler of this world!
Remember this name and tremble with fear!
You bastard!
Calm down! He's just antagonizing us!
But we have to do something!
Stay calm!
Listen closely.
If we rush head on, we'll get annihilated.
If we want to avoid that, we're gonna need a good plan!
I'm going to entrust that to you!
In the meantime, we'll stall him!
I was your enemy. Why would you trust me now?
You're our brother in arms now.
That alone makes you our friend.
I see.
Hurry up, Dusk!
Do we have any plan how to buy them time?
Nope. We don't.
Hey, now…
But we have over a hundred trustworthy veteran warriors with us.
Alright then! It's time to hunt!
Yeah!
In top form!
Ride On!
Rathalos!
Nya-ow!
Lute…
Cheval…
Our plan goes like this.
When Lute's charge landed a hit on Anvis…
…he could no longer maintain the wind and lifted it for a moment.
That's because the Rite of Overlapping is incomplete.
That's why when Anvis is trying to fight seriously…
…the power runs away and damages him, weakening his defense.
Our goal is to make that bastard get serious and strike when he shows an opening.
That's the gist of it.
Yeah, but on top of enduring his attack, we'll still need to fight back.
That… That sounds pretty tough.
Yeah.
That's why we need experienced Riders like you.
Figures.
Gulp.
I'll accompany you in that task.
Us Numbers will help you out, too!
We've made it that far. It's too late to turn back now.
Yes.
Meow.
Well said!
Indeed-nyaa.
U-Uhm…
What should I be doing?
Your role is to use the opening we create…
…and use your full power to destroy Kushala Daora's horns.
Huh…
Nariki?
That's too important for me.
I'm just a burden to everyone. I'm the reason why Lute and Cheval are excluded from the battle now.
Hey, Nariki.
I'm sorry.
You're here because of me.
Nariki.
It's fine.
It's not your fault.
Besides, our injuries are nothing Lilia's medicines can't take care of.
Lute…
Nariki.
Cheval and I will join you later, for sure.
Until then, I leave things in your hands.
Leave it to me!
Hmm…
Making Anvis fight with his full power…
Any ideas how we do that, Spex?
It's not like I can come up with good plans on command, you know.
Eh.
Navirou, do you have any weapon or item saved for situations like this?
It's not like I can pull out good items on command—
Oh?
Ah!
If I remember right…
…it's a switch Manelger gave us when we saved him before.
I am giving you this.
What's this?
A Resqusto-Manelger switch!
Well, I guess he did say to use it when we're in trouble.
Now couldn't be a better time!
I agree-nyaa.
Alright then!
Push!
What's that…?
What? It's a donutshroom!
Ah! It's a letter from the Doctor!
Let's see…
"Congratulations."
"For you, who pressed the switch…"
"…I present you my newest invention, a special artificial donutshroom."
"It's far more powerful than the conventional donutshrooms."
"Eating one increases the fart storage capacity a hundredfold."
"Let's fart a lot and live a good life."
"— Genius scientist, Dr. Manelger."
"Ah, one more thing!"
"I think I've said something about coming to help you…"
"It was a little cute lie."
"Don't be angry."
What the hell is this?!
Who needs this garbage!
W-What, now?
Hey.
I think this might be actually useful.
Huh?
If Navirou's Congalala's farting ability is increased a hundredfold…
Yep. Yep.
Huh? Huh?
Navirou.
It is time to mark your name in history.
Huh?!
Damn…
Is this as far as we can go?
What's that?
I-It's leaking out…
N-Navirou!
It's Navirou!
Navirou!
Hey, hey! Anvis!
Navirou!
You call yourself the ruler of the world?
Navirou!
If you think you're such a big shot, we, Numbers, will kick you and your ego straight to hell!
Navirou!
Now, Navirou!
Navirou's pushing him back!
You worms!
It's not over yet!
Now! Everyone, assault!
Shooting Star!
Cross High Bolt!
Ground Cyclone!
Sky-High Dive!
You… You worms!
I am the strongest! I'm more powerful than any of you!
I will not forgive this! You just dug up your own grave!
Blast…
You…!
Fire…
…Blow!
Did that small boy…? He did it!
Nariki!
Beats!
That last punch was perfect!
You've grown to be a great Rider!
It really was awesome, Nariki!
You should be proud of yourself!
Your stomach turned into pudding…
I can't go anywhere like this.
You'll turn back to normal in no time.
Brother, it's over, isn't it?
Yes…
Finally…
We finally defeated him.
Avinia.
Yes.
I'm truly sorry for everything.
Brother…
Let's go home together—
Anvis…?
Power…
My power is everything!
I-It can't be!
The Kushala Daora…
…took Anvis in?
Why?
They couldn't handle the raw power…
…which led to the destruction of both Rider and Monstie.
But that's…
Vengeance…
No, a primal grudge that can be only called hatred, has led them to only desire destruction.
I did this. I performed the Rite that my parents gave their live to protect.
I've created an unbelievable monster.
We can't do anything against that.
It's hopeless! It's all over!
Don't give up yet!
We can still do it, you guys!
I won't give up, ever!
That's the spirit, Nariki!
Sorry we're late.
We'll fight with you.
Lute! Cheval!
It's all over…
It isn't over. Not yet.
Brother! Let's fight!
We're up against the power of our own family's Rite!
How do we defeat that?!
With the power of our kinship!
The power… of kinship?
Yes.
With the power of our kinship with all the people we've met!
Avinia…
You've grown stronger.
There's only one way to end this.
But it requires everyone's strength.
Can you trust me?
Of course I can.
Alright!
Let's show him the power of our kinship!
Yeah!
Gale here.
Anvis is consumed with hatred and begins his rampage to destroy the world.
But I will never give up.
This is something I have to see through to the end.
