## Plot

In 1999, Stern is at his children’s graves and
is confront by a man. The man says that he can bring his children back to life
if he does a task for him. Stern says that he’ll do anything. The man stabs him
and turns him into the Prawn slash. He says that when his power is fully
charged, he can begin being able to absorb souls to revive his children.

In
2018, at the hospital, Josh asks Dawn what happened. She explains to him that
the slash knocked him out. He then tries to get up and says that he has to
defeat it. She tells him to lay back down and says that the slayer was able to
defeat it. Josh asks how she knows the Slayer beat it and asks if she knows the
Slayer. She says no, she saw the Slayer beat it as they left. He believes her.
He then asks her where she learned to fight. She says that her uncle trained
her, but she says that it’s in her blood since her mother was a skilled fighter
too. He says that he knows her mother used to work for GASH and asks if she
ever thought of joining GASH. She says that she’ll consider it. Josh tells her
that she should come and see if she’s interested once he’s released from the
hospital. She can be his partner. She eventually accepts his invitation. Blake
talks to Zivat who asks him if killing that slash was a little too easy. Blake
says that usually the slash are more of a challenge. Blake arrives at his uncle
store and sees Fredrick talking to Candice. She introduces herself as a family
friend to Blake and says that she already met Dawn. She says that she wants to
ask him if he has been seeing anything that can help them find out about their
missing teacher. He says no. She gives him her number and says to call her when
he has any information. She leaves and is confronted by Stern who invites her
to eat with him at the restaurant. She accepts his offer and Zivat follows
them. Josh and Dawn leave the hospital and visit GASH. Josh tells Walker to let
Dawn try the GASH training course. Dawn is able to finish the course and earns
a job in GASH. Walker says that Dawn has the potential to be a user of the
Savior System, but for now she can be a second option. Josh is confused and
Walker tells Josh that he is the next user of the Savior system. Walker says
that the system is a day away from completion. Josh smiles. Stern and Candice
eat, and he apologizes to her as he turns into slash and attacks her. She
fights him back and tries to calm him down saying that he doesn’t have to do
this. Stern says that he needs her soul in order to bring back his children. Zivat
sees that Stern is a slash and goes back to tell Blake. He then sees Blake
already on his way to the restaurant. Zivat ask Blake how he knew Stern was a
Slash, and Blake says that he didn’t. He then says that he had a gut feeling
that something wasn’t right, so he had to make sure. He then transforms and
drives the Slay Cycle through the window of the restaurant and hits the Slash
with the cycle. He fights the slash and then is given the ability to activate a
new power granted to him by the younger resident of the Spirit Castle. He then
transforms into Slayer’s Merman form. He defeats the slash. After the fight, Candice
holds her blaster at Blake and tells him not to move. He is still in his Slayer
form and tells her that he isn’t going to hurt her while Zivat is disguising
Blake’s voice with his. He then leaves on his Slay Cycle as she tries to shoot
him, but his armor protects him. Blake rides off.
