A Gearsome Beginning, Part 2

A Gearsome Beginning, Part 2 is the second episode of the first season from The Gear Heroes: Friendship is Powerful and the series in general, as well as the second of two parts of the same episode.

Synopsis
The Gear Heroes continue exploring the dark forest and overcoming obstacles to find the nine Elements of Double Gear.

Summary
The episode begins with a narrated summary of the first part and ends where it left off. The heroes of Double Gear try to use their Special Weapons to destroy the huge wall of rocks, but it doesn't work. While Fuse Man is asking where is Pharaoh Man, Acid Man comes up with an idea to build his own construction vehicle: Acid-Drill, the underground, electric drilling-jackhammer 5000, and begins singing Science while building it. Once finished, the Acid-Drill quickly starts drilling the entire path full of rocks and the heroes manage to get out of the cavern. Also, an Acid Barrier-shaped green crystal (Acid Man's Special Weapon) appears floating and Acid Man takes it.

The sunset comes. Three golem bots (white, blue, and brown) block the way to the eight robots and are prepared to defeat them by order of Marysalis Shimmer. Without panic but immediately, the heroes except Block Man run away from them so that the little teal robot challenges the golem bots. However, the three of them start teasing him about his size, causing him to rage a lot and transform into a giant golem, Block Golem, with his Power Gear and he finally manages to kick their butts and send them flying away. A Block Dropper-shaped light blue crystal (Block Man's Special Weapon) appears floating and Block Man catches it.

As the forest fills with fog, the heroes cross a drawbridge and arrive at ghostly ancient ruins. When Blast Man flies to the other side to fix the drawbridge, three ghosts of the ruins (purple, navy blue, and black) appear and invite him to be captain of the Darkbooms, their group of pyrotechnic ghosts. He learns that he must abandon his friends to join with them, but then he turns down the ghosts, making them angrily disappear and are never seen again. Blast Man rescues Block Man from falling the abyss and fixes the drawbridge so his friends can cross. A Chain Blast-shaped blue crystal (Blast Man's Special Weapon) falls on Blast Man's right hand.

The eight heroes find a beautiful white cat named Water Gemma who is sitting in a dirty fountain of water crying. She is upset that a "blur" whisked by and cuts off her gem necklace. Tundra Man generously donates most of his ice braid to repair Water Gemma's necklace. Extremely pleased and grateful, she helps the robots to show a good path to continue with their mission. A Tundra Storm-shaped purple crystal (Tundra Man's Special Weapon) falls on Tundra Man's left hand.

The heroes enter a dark area. They find animals like brown bears, foxes, deer, and monkeys that are shaking with fear. When Fuse Man calms them down and the light from his fuses illuminates the place, he sees a creepy face from a tree. Everyone except Bounce Man is scared when more terrifying faces are revealed. However, the pink robot sings Laughter is the Best Medicine to teach his friends how to face their fears. Their laughter manages to delete the faces of the trees, returning them to normal.

After leaving the dark area, a Bounce Ball-shaped pink crystal (Bounce Man's Special Weapon) hits Tundra Man's head and Bounce Man takes it. Suddenly, all eight crystals begin to float in midair to reveal another clue to the mystery with the help of the heroes' Special Weapons and these shoot a red and blue beam upward creating eight cyber caves with a different color each. Also, Pharaoh Man's voice is heard and the robots rejoice that he is still well. Fuse Man realizes that when they performed a good action with the heart, the crystals appeared with the Elements that they represent, that is, their greatest positive traits. Excited, the eight heroes enter the cyber caves through the song The Elements of Double Gear.

Once inside the cavern, they find Pharaoh Man imprisoned by Marysalis Shimmer. The queen is angered that her evil plans have been ruined and the Egyptian robot breaks the bars to escape from prison. The heroes of Double Gear face Marysalis and fight her. Pharaoh Man realizes that the spirits of the Double Gear are present and a fire aura links his friends with their respective elements of Honesty, Strength, Kindness, Science, Trust, Loyalty, Generosity, and Laughter. Marysalis claims that they have yet to discover the ninth Element of Double Gear and there was no other cyber spark to do so, but Pharaoh Man declares:

"A different kind of cyber spark. I felt it the very moment I realized when I met the heroes of Double Gear and how happy I was to hear them, to see them, how much I cared about them. Even it was just a brief moment. You see, Marysalis Shimmer. When those Elements are ignited by the...spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the ninth element: Power of Friendship!" - Pharaoh Man

A fragment turns into a yellow, orange, and purple Pharaoh Shot-shaped crystal (Pharaoh Man's Special Weapon). The queen is horrified when she watches the process of the power of the Double Gear.

"Along with friendship and teamwork, we create a power beyond anything you could imagine, but it is a power you don't have the ability to control! Because you do not possess the most powerful force of all the history of Robotics: the Double Gear of Friendship!" - Pharaoh Man

The nine Robot Masters unleash the power of the Double Gear that envelops Marysalis Shimmer with purple lightning and it expels her from the cavern. Pharaoh Man opens his eyes and the scene fills with white light. Once it fades, Tundra Man's braid appears restored. They learn that they have gold necklaces on their chests and a crown for Pharaoh that is similar to his, with their crystals in them. Suddenly, a small earthquake is felt and a large statue of the Double Gear System appears revealing a gold chest with nine locks that requires nine keys to open. The Egyptian robot claims that although he doesn't know where they will be, it is a great mystery that he and his friends will manage to solve it together. Fuse Man thanks Pharaoh for helping them fulfill their important mission, and although they don't know about his true identity, he has proven to be a true friend and a strong leader, so Fuse accepts that he is friends with his team. Even if Pharaoh is not an official member, they let him and Tundra Man visit them whenever they want. The Egyptian robot gives the team a better name: the Gear Heroes, because they represent the three main characteristics to keep the Universe safe and well-balanced: friendship, teamwork and the Magic of the Double Gear of Friendship. They all begin singing We're the Gear Heroes, while Pharaoh Man and Tundra Man return home and tell their family about their important mission accomplished.
