to pay his respects. He considered Fredrick as a friend but says that he is
willing to tell him that he knows how to awaken Kiviola. He gives Blake a map
and leaves. Blake looks the map and is hesitant to trust it. But says that it
doesn’t hurt to try. Dawn goes to GASH and demands to become the Savior since
Josh is out of action. Walker says that if she’s planning to fight Cyrus, she
can’t beat him in the Savior’s basic mode. She says that she can use shinning
mode. She doesn’t care if it injures her, it will hold long enough for her to
end Cyrus once and for all. Walker refuses to give her the knuckle. Blake prepares for his journey and Destini asks to come
with him. He says no, but Destini says that she wants to help no matter what.
She says whether or not he lets her come along, she’s coming. Blake says that
he doesn’t want her to be put in danger again, but she says that she doesn’t
want to be seen as a damsel in distress. Blake allows her to come with. Cyrus
is watching them leave, smiling. Dawn
trains and continues to push herself and sprains her hand. Candice comes in a
stops her. Dawn asks her where she’s been, and Candice says that she’s was
doing undercover work. Candice says that it’s lucky that she came when she did
because it seemed like Dawn was going to work herself to death. Dawn says that
she can handle the strain of the Savior Shinning mode, but Parker won’t allow
her. Candice tells her to remember what she said and prove that she’s worthy,
but don’t kill herself doing it. Cyrus stands outside GASH. Blake and Destini
make it to their destination and find a forest. They are confronted by a group  slashes who says that they have been hired by

has to go through them first. Blake transforms and tells Destini to get the
caller. Blake tries to transform into his king form, but his king caller is
knocked out of his hand. Destini retrieves the caller and Blake is on the verge
of being beaten. Destini grabs the sword and blows the caller. Kiviola awakens

eyes. Cyrus attacks the GASH base, and Josh grabs the Savior knuckle even
though he’s still injured. He fights Cyrus. Cyrus throws Josh through a window and knocks him
out of his Savior form. Dawn tries to save Josh but is knocked down by Cyrus.

gunshot from Candice distracts Cyrus. Josh throws the Savior knuckle to Dawn
who punches Cyrus with it. Dawn transforms into the
Savior. Dawn turns into Shinning mode and defeats Cyrus. Cesar sees Dawn defeat
Cyrus from the window of Spirit Castle and smiles as the castle devours Cyrus’s
soul. Dawn
falls to the ground smiling. The horsefly slash tries to find a hiding place
