## Plot

A young man is walking across the strike when he comes across an injured woman. When he goes to help, the woman stabs him with a syringe and infects him with the Droid Virus. The woman turns out to be Jade who then tells the man that he’ll be assisting her in traveling the 19 worlds. The young man, who she names Jinx, is now under her control. Elsewhere, Shari stands in front of Mike to defend him from Neo. Neo tells her to move but she refuses and tells him that killing him wasn’t their plan. Mike realizes that his life may be at risk and runs off but is quickly knocked out by Neo. Shari and Neo are arguing as Mike lays unconscious. Neo says that Mike somehow already has rider powers, they need to end him now. Shari tells Neo that they need to try and figure out the situation without violence. Mike slowly wakes up and tries to run away but is caught by Neo who puts him in a headlock. Neo aggressively demands that Mike tell him where he got the ride-watch from. Shari tells Neo to let Mike go. Shari pulls Mike away from Neo. During the scuffle, a gust of wind blows by them, and they are suddenly in a different world. As Shari is holding Mike’s arm, they both notice this, and that Neo is gone. Shari is tries to get in contact with Neo but gets no answer. She explains to Mike that her and Neo are from the future, and they are there to stop him from becoming an evil Overlord. Mike tells Shari that he’s not going to be an evil overlord since he doesn’t have long to live anyway. He explains that he’s going to die of an illness within a year’s time. Shari says that he could’ve been cured or something. She says that she doesn’t want people to die, not even Mike and says that she wants to help Mike and prevent him from becoming the Overlord. Mike says that he will if she helps him find a way to live. Shari says she’ll try and the two shake hands. Shari says that they should start exploring and see where they are. Elsewhere, Jade and Jinx arrive in the World of Dial and Jade tells Jinx that they’ll soon have their own reign over all worlds. She then says that she’ll show him how she chooses her victims and reveals a corrupted Dial rider-watch as they look over the city. Meanwhile, Neo is wondering through the woods and comes across a frightened young lady. He asks her what’s wrong and she asks for his help and that people are after her. A group of Barren Troopers confront the two and aim their weapons at them. Neo tries to ask why they’re after the girl and the trooper tells him to step aside. Neo’s temper gets the better of him and he transforms and fights them. After defeating them, he confronts the girl to see if she’s okay, but she accidentally reveals herself to be a Barren. Meanwhile, Shari and Mike walk around the city and wonder how they got to a different Earth. Shari and Mike then notice two men trying to break into a store. Mike decides to go stop them; however, the men turn out to be Barrens. They attack Mike and Mike is forced to transform into Nexus. He fights the Barrens, but he is outnumbered and underexperienced. A group of soldiers who transform into Barren Troopers are able to capture and intercept the Barrens. One of the soldiers then tell Mike to come with them. Meanwhile, the girl begs Neo to spare her, and Neo aims his weapon at her. The girl, Claire, explains to Neo that she accidentally killed a civilian after she lost control of her Barren side. Neo says that she’s probably lying to him. Claire says that if he thinks she’s lying, he should end her right now and put her out of her misery. Before he can make his decision, he is knocked out by Jinx. Before going completely unconscious, Neo sees someone put a ridewatch through Claire’s chest and she transforms into Corrupted Dial and Neo faints. Elsewhere, Mike and Shari go to Marx Enterprises, now Osada Industries, and meet with CEO Eva Osada. Osada asks the two where they came from and how Mike has rider powers. Shari says that they’re from another dimension and Mike thinks that Eva won’t believe them. Eva believes Shari and reveals that weird things have been going on. She shows them that portals have been showing up all around the city, but nothing has been coming out of them. She says that the portals may lead to other worlds or periods of time. Shari talks about how strange it is, but they are then interrupted by reports of an attack happening in the city. Mike, Eva, and Shari go check it out and they see Barren Troopers fighting off Corrupted Dial. Eva acknowledges how the monster resembles Dial and she then tries to call Emmanuel for help, he doesn’t answer. Mike turns into Nexus and fights the Corrupted Dial. Dial defeats Nexus since Nexus is still inexperienced. Corrupted Dial is about to attack Nexus, but he is saved by the real Dial.
