To lose sight of oneself

But you will surely find love in your heart

Come walk with us

We're under the same sky, we look at the same stars

Let's keep this beautifully colored bond

Happiness is forever

To be by your side, to be close to you

Not to lose sight of what is really important

To be grateful

To the person who understands no matter what happens

Everyone is afraid

Of losing sight of oneself

But you will surely find love in your heart

Come walk with us

Episode 49 Invasion of Ebon Riders

Who do you think these Ebon Riders are?

They call themselves Riders.

But are they really?

Yeah…

And why did they kidnap Avinia?

Seems like they're interested in her Kinship Stone. But why?

I'm sure they have a reason.

Yeah.

Still, we have to save her somehow.

Avinia is the one who went with you to the Tower of Illusion, huh?

Hey, what kind of Rider was it that took her?

Could give us some more details?

This portrait gives no clues at all.

Hmm.

He was wearing this scary full body armor-nyaa.

So you couldn't see their face at all?

Nyaa-ope.

The world was just saved from the Black Blight.

And now we have to deal with this right after…

What is your opinion on this, Chief Omna?

Hmm.

If I recall correctly, Avinia was the only one who survived back then, right?

Yep.

That might be related to the current events.

Huh?

I don't know the details, but…

I heard that in Avinia's village there was a family that possessed special Rider powers.

A family with special powers?

Precisely.

Perhaps the Riders who took Avinia knew about that family?

Probably.

I don't know anything for sure, however.

Whether they knew or not, I won't forgive them!

Yeah.

Those Ebon Riders…

…they might be seeking a new kind of power.

Thinking back…

…I really wanted to be strong, too.

We have to save Avinia.

You got that right.

Chief. We're free to go to save her, right?

Hmm.

I understand the feeling of wanting to help your friend very well.

But we must act carefully here.

That's right, Lute. Even if you go help, you need to be careful.

I know. I won't do anything stupid.

Don't worry, Lute has Navirou, the best navigator in the world!

Everything will be A-okay!

Just who are these Ebon Riders?

Why do you want Kinship Stones so much?

I know the answer to your question.

But I have no intention of sharing it with you.

There's no need for you to know it.

Master Anvis.

Can I put this thing in the lower zone?

She'll be a good girl now.

I bet she will.

If she doesn't want to get eaten by Wrath, that is.

I'm hungry!

Chief Omna, what's our next move?

Hmm.

To tell you the truth, I don't want anyone to take any unnecessary risks.

However, trying to stop Lute is a risk in itself…

Can't argue with you there.

It can't be helped.

Dan, can you take Genie and the others with you?

And if they complain about it, do your best to persuade them.

Yes, sir!

Of course.

Chief, I have a favor to ask.

What is it, Nariki?

Please let me go, too.

I know I just became a Rider, but I want to be of use to everyone.

But you're still an apprentice.

I won't be a burden. I'll do my best.

So please…!

I see trying to stop you is dangerous as well…

You resemble Lute in many ways.

Then…!?

However, Nariki.

Protecting the village is an important task for a Rider.

You will remain here, protecting the village while your seniors are away.

This is your duty now.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

I will protect the village.

What do you think, Gale?

Think about what, Shadow?

About bringing that little girl in here, of course.

What's the purpose of it?

We've been stealing Kinship Stones up till now… but we've never caught a Rider.

So what?

Master Anvis must have plans for her.

But this girl has an impressive Kinship Stone.

This girl must have other Rider friends, I doubt they'll stay silent for long.

Friends? What friends?

Wasn't her whole village annihilated?

She's all alone.

I wasn't talking about her village.

There are other Riders in this world. The ones who stopped the Black Blight, for example.

I see.

The group from Hakum, huh?

Well, I will crush and eat anybody who stands in my way.

Those Riders already know that we're searching for Kinship Stones.

This will be interesting.

It'll be satisfying, seeing those incompetent Riders tremble in fear of us.

Mad, if you let your guard down with me, you'll regret it.

It will be interesting, though.

I will take you on any time.

My goal is to capture the Kinship Stone of the Rider who flies a Rathalos.

You're referring to Lute?

I'm interested in his Kinship Stone myself.

Are you going to approach him, Gale?

Because I won't let you.

Well, look at that. Shadow is interested as well.

Wait, wait. I want it too.

His Kinship Stone is mine!

Oh really?

Fools.

All Kinship Stones belong to Master Anvis.

We're only here to fulfill our duty.

I need that Kinship Stone.

The one that belongs to the Rider flying a Rathalos.

Go, Gale.

Hell yeah!

Roger that, Master Anvis.

Sorry, Mad and Wrath.

Shadow.

Tsk! Why you?

I don't like this.

Very well. Let's see what you've got.

All right, Nariki!

Try to "Ride On".

Yes, sir!

You can do it, Nariki.

You're the village protector.
