Episode 12: “Kamen Rider Sting”
Story By Steve Wang, Nathan Long and Michael Wang
Written by Scott Phillips
Directed by Mark Allen
Summary: Kamen Rider Sting attacks Dragon Knight and believes that Dragon Knight is an alien.
Flashback: Sergeant Ramirez says to his son, Chris Ramirez, that four generations of Ramirez men have served this country, and no son of his is going to break that tradition. Chris says that he won't, sir. But Doc comes with some not so good news. The Doc explains to Chris that his Asthma's grown too advanced and he won't be able to perform his duties. Sergeant Ramirez tells the Doc to run the tests again, and that there's nothing wrong with his son, and the tests are wrong. The Doc explains to Sergeant Ramirez that Chris will be getting a full medical discharge. Chris asks the Doc to not do this to him, he wants to serve his country. The Doc says that there are still many ways to do that, but the Sergeant explains that the Ramirezes are Marines, they have always been Marines! The Sergeant has a talk with the Doc alone. Xaviax then appears and introduces himself to Private Ramirez (Chris) as Special Agent Simons and explains that he heard about the discharge, and that he works for a Clandestine Governmental Organization, and he is just exactly the kind of young man they're looking for. Agent Simons tells him that what he's about to reveal can never be repeated, not even to his father. Chris agrees, then Agent Simons gives him an Advent Deck. Chris sees a Minion in a reflection. Agent Simons explains that he didn't imagine it, and that the United States of America...In fact, their very planet Earth, has been invaded by creatures from another dimension that want to take away their rights and destroy their way of life, but with that Deck, him and a very select group of other dedicated young men and women can help defeat them. Chris says yes, it would be an honor to serve his country. Agent Simons says, "welcome aboard."
Dragon Knight reveals to Sting that he is human and that his name is Kit Taylor. But Sting still believes that Kit is an alien and explains that Agent Simons told him about their tricks. Sting grabs Kit, but then they see Wing Knight and Thrust fighting. Wing Knight has Thrust down, but Wing Knight can't bring himself to finish him. Thrust explains that he just wants his life back, then escapes. Sting attacks Wing Knight and uses "Swing Vent" (with 2,000 Attack Points (Evil Whip)). Dragon Knight explains to Wing Knight that he's not a bad guy. With his Asthma becoming too intense, Sting has no choice but to listen to what they have to say.
At Xaviax's lair, Drew is confronted by Xaviax that he knows he's planning to take out Xaviax. Then Xaviax, Strike and Minions ambush him, but Drew manages to escape. Strike Rides after Drew, but Drew gets away.
Back at Kit's place, Kit and Len try to convince Chris that he has been lied to, but Chris continues to believe that they're just trying to trick him. Maya comes to the door, then Chris makes his escape. Kit and Len split up to search for up. Len finds him and tries to get him to listen, but Chris transforms to Sting and attacks him. Sting uses "Copy Vent" and replicates Wing Knight's Wing Lancer, then uses Final Vent. Sting jumps onto Evildiver to use like a surfboard, and rams into Wing Knight, but Wing Knight survives the attack. Sting's Asthma becomes too intense for him to continue fighting. Wing Knight uses his Final Vent, but stops in mid-air. Len then walks off.
Brad watches his last race and says to himself again, "Brad Barret always wins!"
