Episode 21: “Strike's Ultimatum”
Story By Steve Wang, Nathan Long and Michael Wang
Written by Scott Phillips
Directed by Michael Wang
Summary: The Cho Brothers return to Xaviax's lair. Xaviax confronts them about attacking Dragon Knight and reminds them that he doesn't want Dragon Knight touched. Xaviax then orders them to remove Frank Taylor from his lair to be "reunited with his loving son."
Lacey enters Grace's Books. Trent informs her that Maya isn't there. Lacey explains that she's so over being mad at her, and tells him that she's just stopping by because her internet is down and wanted to check her e-mail. Trent lets her use Maya's laptop in the back room to check her e-mail. Lacey inserts the Flash Drive, and it begins copying Maya's files. Len enters, Trent informs him that Kit and Maya are on their way to Rosedale Industrial Park and explains that they got a call from JTC saying that Kit's father is there. So Len heads on out to go after them. The Flash Drive completes copying the files, so Lacey takes the Flash Drive and leaves.
Kit and Maya find Frank in front of a mirror, next to more mirrors. JTC then shows himself and reveals to Kit and Maya that he is Strike. JTC explains that when the Feds imprisoned him, Xaviax came and took him out through a mirror, and he has been free ever since. JTC offers Kit his dad for Wing Knight's Advent Deck, but Kit refuses the offer. The Cho Brothers then show themselves. Kit tells Maya to get ready to take his father and get out of there. The four transform, and Dragon Knight takes on Spear, Axe and Strike by himself. Dragon Knight manages to get his dad away from them, and Maya gets away with his dad. Strike tells Dragon Knight that they don't want to fight him, they want him to join them.
Len is attacked by two Monsters and transforms. Wing Knight uses Final Vent and destroys the Monsters. Dragon Knight is destroying the mirrors. Dragon Knight uses Strike Vent and fires, blasting Spear, Axe and Strike. Spear takes a direct hit, while Axe and Strike are blasted through a mirror and land in Ventara. Dragon Knight then pulls out his Final Vent Card. Axe and Strike can only watch as Dragon Knight Final Vents Spear. The mirror falls as Spear disintegrates. Spear is Vented. Axe and Strike are unable to return through the mirror. Axe wants revenge for his brother. Wing Knight finally arrives. Kit gives Spear's Advent Deck to Len.
Lacey returns to Michelle and gives her the Flash Drive. Lacey asks if there is anything else she can do to help. Michelle tells her to just watch Maya and keep her away from the guys. Lacey takes off. Michelle inserts the Flash Drive into her laptop.
Maya has returned Frank to the hospital. Kit arrives and informs Maya that he Vented Spear.
A female Rider intercepts some Minions and transforms into Kamen Rider Siren.
