## Plot

In 2000, Blain and Jem
are leaving from a movie theatre and they are confronted by Jean who kills Jem.
It turns out to be a dream as Blain wakes up in the movie theatre. Jem makes
fun of him for sleeping through the movie. They leave and go to Jem’s
apartment. Jem asks Blain to teach her how to play the violin. He teaches her
the song that he played for her previously and she becomes a natural. They kiss.

In 2019, Kamen Rider Saint kills the horsefly slash. Mikal
watches the young man and calls him by his name, Kaden. He says that his father
wants to speak to him. Destini runs through the forest, trying to get away from
Blake. She hides. She tries to call Dawn, but her phone has no reception. Blake
finds her and is about to attack her, but Destini is saved by Cesar. Cesar
transforms and fights Blake. Cesar runs off with Destini. Dawn visits Josh in
the hospital and gives him a rose. He smiles and says that he’s proud of her. She
says that she told him that she can handle it. He says that maybe since she has
slash blood inside her, she can better endure the strain. She says yeah but
says that Walker is working on a software that will repair the glitch and
strain in Shinning Mode. She says that her next mission is to find her father
and brother. Mikal confronts the Rat slash and kills it for killing Fredrick.
Kaden catches up with him and asks why he killed that slash. Mikal say that it
didn’t follow orders, so it had to be eliminated. Just like the horsefly slash.
They go in Blain’s lair and Kaden confronts his father. Blain asks about Blake
and Mikal said he did the honest thing and gave him what he wanted. He then says
that whatever happens after is completely on Blake. Blain then tells Mikal to
leave him alone with his son. Kaden says that his mother says that Blain has
been getting lazy. He hasn’t been getting his hands dirty lately. Blain says
that with the souls that Mikal and Cyrus have taken, he has enough power to go
up against the Slayer’s king form. He then reveals a sleeping Zivat the Second.
Zivat awakens and Blain tells him that it’s time. Blain then tells Kaden to
handle the Slayer while he takes out the Savior. Kaden asks him why he doesn’t
just let him fight the Savior first, and Blain says that he has some unfinished
business with the Savior System and GASH. Cesar and Destini hides and Destini
asks him who or what he is. He says that he is a friend of Fredrick’s. He says
that he knows a way to get Blake out of this berserk form and he says that they
need to get hold of the sword. In a flashback, Fredrick shows up in Spirit
Castle. Cesar sees him and jokingly says that it’s getting a little too crowded
in the castle. They hug and Fredrick says that he needs Cesar to go to the real
world. He says that since the castle needs three residents to keep it stable
and since Cesar never died, he can leave the castle. Cesar says that he’ll do
it for him. Cesar and Destini make a plan. Destini distracts Blake and Cesar
grabs him from behind. He tries to get the sword, but Blake overpowers him,
However, the sword falls out of his hand. Destini grabs it and Cesar tells her
that the sword needs a drop of human blood in order to break the curse. She
pricks her finger on the tip of the sword and Blake drops to the ground. He
turns back to normal. He apologizes to Destini but is shocked to see Cesar.
Cesar says that he’ll explain how he got here later, but he says that there’s a
bigger problem he needs to worry about. Talia asks Mikal if Blain knows of his
daughter and Mikal says no. He says just like how Kaden doesn’t know who his
real mother is. Talia says that it should stay that way. Dawn finds a violin in an old trunk. On the back of it reads, “To my
one and only love. Play into my heart. Love Blain.” Candice comes into the
store and sees Dawn looking at the violin. Candice tells Dawn that her mother
was a natural at playing the violin, but there was always one song that she
loved. Dawn finds violin notes of the song and tries to play it. She ends up
having a hard time. Destini, Cesar, and Blake make it back to the store. Walker
and Josh walk out of the hospital and while walking on the sidewalk, Walker
walks past a man wearing a cap and gets a sense of knowing who he is. He looks
back, but the man is gone. The man was Blain.
