At Baris Government Hospital, TEH XIN YI slowly opened her eyes. The unfamiliar surroundings made her alert.
TEOH KUI pushed the door open, holding a cup of water.
"You're awake," he said with a smile, catching the cup as it flew.
"I brought you to the hospital with good intentions, and you throw a cup at me!" TEOH KUI said helplessly.
TEH XIN YI's eyes flashed as she realized her state. She shouted sharply:
"Get out!"
TEOH KUI finally sensed the urgency and stepped back quickly.
"Sorry… I didn't know you weren't dressed…"
TEH XIN YI coldly spat out:
"Pervert!"
TEOH KUI hurriedly handed her a chocolate bar. TEH XIN YI paused, noticing her favorite flavor, and smiled faintly.
The Shadow of Mystery
In a corner, STAR GOD clenched his fists while the mysterious figure whispered to STAR SAINT.
Mysterious Figure: "Saint, I suggest retrieving that human."
STAR SAINT: "Yes… but don't let STAR GOD know."
Mysterious Figure: "Understood."
TEH XIN YI tidied the hospital room, then sensed an abnormal aura and rushed outside.
In the rubble beside the hospital, she stopped— the mysterious figure was already there.
TEH XIN YI shouted:
"Who are you!"
Just as she drew her driver, a tranquilizer dart struck her, and she immediately lost mobility, collapsing heavily.
TEOH KUI roared:
"Who… who are you!"
The mysterious figure ignored him, aiming a gun at her. A bullet shot out instantly, but TEOH KUI blocked it in the nick of time. The mysterious figure froze—TEOH KUI had saved TEH XIN YI at the crucial moment.
The mysterious figure snorted and signaled his subordinates to retreat.
Knights Assemble
MANG GA LIN and CHIN YI XIN arrived at the rubble.
"MANG GA LIN!" TEOH KUI called.
"And… her?" TEH XIN YI asked weakly.
"She's under observation in the emergency ward. The bullet hit her lung, but she's fine after rescue," CHIN YI XIN explained.
TEH XIN YI immediately charged toward the battlefield.
"Where are you going?!" MANG GA LIN exclaimed.
"Let her go," CHIN YI XIN whispered gently, stopping him.
The Final Battle Begins
Inside STAR GOD's base, the mysterious figure confronted STAR GOD.
STAR GOD: "Did you kill her?"
Mysterious Figure: "Yes."
STAR GOD: "Tui! You… you…"
Suddenly, a motorcycle sped in—TEH XIN YI rode it, her eyes resolute.
"I've come today to settle this with you!" she declared.
She drew her driver, shouting:
"SHAM TRANSFORM DRIVER!"
"Transform!"
"GANJIN!"
HEART RIDER transformed into Steel Form, charging at STAR GOD and STAR SAINT.
STAR GOD sneered: "Overestimating yourself!"
STAR SAINT unleashed a burst of constellation power, striking HEART RIDER with tremendous force.
Hospital Frontline
TEOH KUI woke in the hospital and saw the chaos outside. Clenching his fists, he exclaimed:
"Wow~!"
MANG GA LIN teased:
"Not bad… blocking a bullet without transforming. Thought you were the Hulk?"
"I… I never imagined that… Where's she?" TEOH KUI panicked.
MANG GA LIN replied:
"She rushed out as soon as she woke!"
"Damn! She's definitely going after them!" TEOH KUI yelled, ignoring his pain, stumbling to his feet.
The three followed the locator, racing toward TEH XIN YI in the rubble.
Heart Rider in Peril
On the battlefield, TEH XIN YI was struck and de-transformed, collapsing to the ground. STAR GOD manipulated her body, slamming her into the ground repeatedly. Blood spat from her mouth, and her head was stepped on.
The mysterious figure rushed to stop it but was thrown aside by STAR GOD.
"Get lost!" STAR GOD roared, stomping down with crushing force.
At this moment, STAR RIDER surged forward, sword swinging:
"LEO~LEO~LEO~LEO!"
A blade of light struck STAR GOD, successfully blocking his assault.
TEOH KUI sprinted forward, helping the trembling TEH XIN YI to her feet.
TEH XIN YI stammered:
"How… how did you… find me here?"
TEOH KUI smiled:
"My bike has a locator."
MANG GA LIN looked at him and nodded:
"Alright then."
CHIN YI XIN gently held TEH XIN YI's arm:
"Come with me."
Three Knights Unite Against the Enemy
At the base entrance, MANG GA LIN and TEOH KUI stood firm, eyes determined.
"We're going in!" MANG GA LIN whispered.
"Yeah!" TEOH KUI responded.
They transformed simultaneously:
STAR RIDER (MANG GA LIN)
ZHONG KUI RIDER (TEOH KUI)
The two knights leaped forward like leopards.
HEART RIDER stood at the front, eyes resolute, Steel power blazing, signaling the final confrontation was about to begin—
The fate of the world hung in the balance at this very moment.
