## Plot

In 1999, Cesar arrives at
the house and tells Leo and Page to pack their things. He says that the queen
knows their location and she may tell the king. He tells the two to hide while
he handles business. He calls Jem and tells her to meet him somewhere, but Jem
says that she’s busy. Jem finds Blain and apologizes for her behavior. He says
that she doesn’t have to apologize, he knows how much she wanted to be the next
Savior. He was just trying to impress her and make himself not seem weak. He
then tells her that he made a song for him on the violin. He plays the song and
she sheds a tear. Blain asks her if she likes the song and she says that it was
beautiful. He gives her a rose and asks her to the GASH New Year’s Party. She
accepts his invitation. Cesar sees them from a distance and his eyes glow red. He
begins to get angry but calms down. Later on, Blain and Jem are at the party and countdown into the new millennium. Once the
countdown ends, Blain kisses Jem and Cesar sees this. He runs outside as Jem
and Blain chases after him. Cyrus watches from the roof smiling. Leo and Page
run through the woods but are confronted by Jean who tells them that times up.
Leo and Page run, and Jean prepares to transform into a slash form, but says
that he can use a different power this time. Cesar gets a headache and
uncontrollably transforms in a wolfen and goes into a rage. Jem and Blain sees
Cesar reveal himself. Jem and Blain try to fight, but since Cesar has the
Savior Knuckle, they can’t beat him. Cesar grabs an unconscious Jem and runs
off with her.

In 2019, Josh is testing out the Savior’s new mode but is
injured in the process. He insists that he continues testing it, but Walker
tells him that the mode is suffering from a glitch that is putting a strain on
his body. Josh says he doesn’t care; he can take it. Walker says that he knows
how hard it’s been since he still doesn’t know who really killed his father. Walker
says that it could’ve been the bat slash. Josh asks about the bat slash and
Walker says that it was the strongest slash they ever seen and was considered
the king of all of them. But it hasn’t been seen in nearly 10 years. Josh
suspects that the slash maybe in hiding. He tells Walker to make sure they see
what’s wrong with the mode, he has to do some investigating. Cyrus stumbles and
falls against a tree. He starts to pass out but opens his eyes to see a woman
standing over him. With the woman is a man who picks up Cyrus and they carry
him to a limo. Cyrus’s vision clears and it turns out to be Talia. She tells
him that he has been a busy boy, but it seems that he has meet his match. He
asks her what she wants and who’s the man with her. She says the man is her
assistant Baron, the warthog slash. She says that she will give him a boost and
fix his injuries if he promises to retrieve Zivat. He agrees to do it. Fredrick
is laying a bed at the hospital and the doctor tells Dawn that Fredrick’s
injuries may not be able to be treated. Blake leaves saying that Cyrus is still
out there and he’s going to find him. Zivat talks to Blake and tells him that
he might not be able to use his king form that often since it abruptly
cancelled on him last time. Blake says with or without king form, he’ll finish Cyrus.
He then bumps into Destini who is bringing flowers to Fredrick. She asks him if
he’s ok and also asks how Fredrick is doing. He says that he’s could be better,
and that Fredrick isn’t in that good of shape. Blake says that he hopes that
the Slayer kills the slash who stabbed his uncle. Destini goes into Fredrick’s
room and greets Dawn. She says that Fredrick has been training her and she has
been grateful that he has. Dawn asks Destini to stay in the room with him while
she handles something. Destini says ok. Dawn runs into a nurse who says that
she looks familiar. She asks if she knows someone named Jem Lynch and Dawn says
that she’s her mother. The nurse is shocked and says the Dawn has grown so
much. She says that she helped give birth to her and her brother. She then asks
about her brother, but Dawn says that he was killed in a car accident with her
father. The nurse apologizes and Dawn leaves to GASH. Destini talks to an unconscious Fredrick
and says that he reminded her of her grandfather. She says that her grandfather
was the closest thing to a father figure that she had, and he was taking away
from her by a slash two years ago. She says that’s the reason why she wanted to
learn how to fight against the slashes. She says that even though she thought
the training exercises were silly, she was willing to stay and train. She says
that if he is able to make it through this, she wants to continue training. In
Spirit Castle, Fredrick walks through the halls and enters the three residents
room where Cesar says that it looks like he’s going to die without telling Dawn
the truth. Leo says whether he’s dead or alive, she’s going to find out
eventually. Fredrick says that he’s more worried about Blain finding out.
Fredrick notices a crack in the wall of the castle. He clears the crack and
finds a sword, the king’s sword. Fredrick says that he thought the sword was
destroyed, but Cesar tells him that the sword was hidden by the slash king.
However, it isn’t at full power until Kiviola is awoken from his slumber. Josh
searches on the GASH database and finds info on Jean Gaskin. He status is
unknown, but he finds a file that is blocked by a passcode. Josh contacts a GASH
hacker after he finds out that no one knows the password. The hacker finds out
the password and finds a file on Blain Gaskin. When he looks through photos, he
sees a picture of him and Jem. He saves the picture to his phone. Josh calls Dawn
and tells her that he has something that she probably wants to see.
