Episode 18: “The Brothers Cho”
Story By Steve Wang, Nathan Long and Michael Wang
Written by Scott Phillips
Directed by John Fasano
Summary: Kit, Len and Chris team up on some pizza. Len explains that he never done anything before he became a Kamen Rider because they were chosen to become Kamen Riders at a young age. Kit explains that he was kind of a troublemaker, and his dad would back him up to help him get out of trouble. But Chris explains that his dad wouldn't of backed him up, then leaves.
At Grace's Books, Lacey confronts Maya about her "playing stupid superhero games", as she does not believe her about the Kamen Rider. Michelle Walsh is right outside and hears them. Lacey tells Maya to prove that they're real, but Maya can't. She tells Maya that she's got to get a life, and offers her to go out with her tonight to go dancing and find some "hot guys", but Maya tells her she can't. So Lacey leaves in disappointment. Michelle Walsh calls someone.
Len offers Kit the job of replacing the original Dragon Knight. Kit tells him it would be an honor. But Len explains that the Kamen Riders lie in suspended animation until they are needed, and that they only wake up once every 12 years, which means leaving Earth and everyone behind, including his father. Kit then tells him that he's going to need some time to think about it. Len tells him to take all the time he needs, then heads on out.
The Cho brothers ambush Len. Danny and Albert hold out their Advent Decks to transform, but Len takes their Advent Decks from them and calls them amateurs. The Cho brothers try getting their Advent Decks back, but Len is too quick for them. Len asks them what Xaviax promised them. They tell him that they were promised a piece of the action in the biggest heist in history, and all they have to do is take him out. Len says to them that he should probably tell them that Xaviax is lying to them and try to connivance them to fight for Earth, but tells them that he doesn't want them on his team. Danny tells him that they don't care. Len throws their Advent Decks. The Cho brothers attack again, but Len takes them down and calls them amateurs, and leaves. Albert finds their Advent Decks. When they return to their motorcycles, they see Len getting away and find their motorcycles tied together.
Kit finds Chris sitting somewhere writing. Chris tells Kit that everything is fine. They hear a Monster nearby. Chris tells him that this one is his. They both transform, Sting goes on in to fight the monster by himself, but Dragon Knight follows right behind him. The battle becomes intense as Sting's asthma attacks become worse. Dragon Knight tries getting him to stop, but Sting doesn't listen. Sting manages to destroy the Monster with his Final Vent, then the two return to Earth.
Kit returns to the hospital to see his dad, but when he gets their, he finds that his father is gone. He finds a snake medallion on the bed and realizes that his dad was taken by Strike.
