Buguese and the Spider Riders barely have time to realize Mantid betrayed them all before Mantid uses Oracle's stolen power to make himself a godlike being. Turning his back on the Invectid people, he teleports away to deal with the Spider Riders once and for all. When he commands them to kneel before him, only Grasshop agrees, hoping to trade his life for those of his friends. After toying with Grasshop, Mantid laughs at Buguese's pathetic attempt to use his own robo-invectid, Dark Opal against him, and easily cripples the machine. Buguese is saved by none other than Stags, who has also returned for the final confrontation with Mantid. Mantid gives a brainwashed Aqune a fraction of his power and leaves her to end the Spider Riders forever. Just as she is about deliver a killing blow on Hunter, Buguese stops her. Feeling guilty for manipulating her, Buguese removes her mask, freeing her forever. He uses the Oracle power still residing in the mask to re-awaken Dark Opal. But will Buguese's ultimate sacrifice be enough?
