PROFESSOR KUDO
Professor Kudo
Professor Kudo and his team of scientists were working on a Sand Beam. The Sand Beam would be able to turn any material into sand. When they felt the invention was ready, they head outdoors to test it. In the valley of a rocky terrain, Professor Kudo looks at his stop watch as the time nears for the testing of the Sand Beam. One of the scientists aims the Sand Beam towards the rocky terrain above them. The other two scientists use flags to signal the firing of the Sand Beam. Professor Kudo counts down the seconds and then shouts, commence! The scientist turns on the Sand Beam and it's laser hits the rocky terrain, turning it to sand and causing it to slide down into the valley. The scientists and Professor Kudo are very excited and race towards the aftermath of the Sand Beam. The three scientists begin to examine the ground, and after a quick examination, declare that it was a great success. Professor Kudo reaches down to touch the ground, when suddenly an arrow hits the spot above Professor Kudo's hand. Professor Kudo quickly turns around and spots Samurai Mask and several Zolders standing above them. Samurai Mask congratulates Professor Kudo and tells him that they too have been waiting for this day. Professor Kudo asks them who they are? Samurai Mask introduces himself and adds that they want the Sand Beam equipment. Samurai Mask gives the order and the Zolders leap down to valley. Professor Kudo yells at his scientists to run. Samurai Mask uses his arrow and kills one of the scientists in his back as he was running. The other scientists and Professor Kudo try to outrun the Zolders. With the Sand Beam equipment abandoned, Samurai Mask quickly uses it against the scientists. As the laser hits each scientist, they are enveloped in the red beam and turned into sand. Professor Kudo is captured by the Zolders and he is horrified by what he sees. Soon the wind blows, and any evidence of the scientists are blown away. Still held by the Zolders, Professor Kudo asks Samurai Mask, what have you done? Samurai Mask is not quite pleased with the Sand Beam equipment and tells Professor Kudo that he will improve on the device and turn it into a beam that will melt everything in front of it. Professor Kudo refuses. Samurai Mask threatens him with the death of his son. Professor Kudo is taken to a room at the Black Cross Army base. Later, Professor Kudo is confronted by Samurai Mask and a few Zolders. Samurai Mask wants Professor Kudo to set up the Sand Beam on a satellite. Professor Kudo is very angry and asks Samurai Mask if he intends to turn the whole world into a desert? Samurai Mask acknowledges that is his plan. Professor Kudo refuses to do it. Samurai Mask opens a door to reveal Koichi and more Zolders holding onto him. Professor Kudo is shocked as his son screams for him. With a promise from Samurai Mask that his son will be spared, Professor Kudo immediately begins working. After awhile, he notices a young man (Tsuyoshi) looking into one of the small windows at him before being lead away.
