Edge of Fate

**Edge of Fate** is the thirty-third episode of *Kamen Rider Slayer*. It features Blain Gaskin's first transformation into the Bat Slash.

## Plot

In 2000, Jem
begins noticing that Blain has been acting strange. She runs into Talia who
says that Blain won’t die, but he’ll be cured. Jem asks what he’ll be cured of.
And Talia says the human disease. Talia then says that this is a good time to
finish their fight. Talia transforms and so does Jem. They fight until it is
broken up by Blain. Talia tries to strike Jem, but Blain accidentally mortally
wounds her. She leaves and says that they’ll cross paths again one day. Fredrick
meets with Mikal and Mikal thanks Fredrick. Mikal says if he needs anything,
he’ll have no issue doing it. A flashback shows Mikal’s life being spared by
Fredrick as the Slayer. Fredrick has been nursing Mikal back to health. Blain helps Jem and Fredrick move
stuff. Blain cuts his finger and notices that he has slash blood. He tries to
hide it, but Fredrick notices it. He points a gun at Blain and Jem tries to
calm him down. Blain then feels pain on his neck again and transforms into the
Bat slash. He then transforms back and runs off.

In 2019, Blain and Blake run back to the store. Destini says that they have enough power to
defeat every slash, why can’t they just fight the slash now. Cesar says that
even if they tried, they don’t know how many slashes are left and that Talia
could do a sneak attack. Their power barely matches Saint’s, Talia’s, or
Mikal’s. Blain says that his power eclipses them, but he doesn’t know if he can
transform anymore. He then reveals the box he retrieved. He says that he was
going to give it to Talia, but he feels that Dawn is better suited for it.
However, he says that he doesn’t remember how to open it. His slash side knows
were the key is. He says that someone has to go back to his lair and retrieve
it. He says that he’ll go, and Cesar says that he’ll come with. Josh asks Dawn to prom, and she says yes. Destini waits for Blake to ask
her, but he doesn’t. Destini gets irritated. Cesar and Blain enter the lair and
are confronted by Mikal and a group of slash. They fight them but become
overwhelmed. Blain then tries to transform in Acid.  It doesn’t work at first, but he finally
transforms and defeats the slashes. He hesitates in killing Mikal, but Talia
comes and interrupts them. Mikal fight a bit of his mind control enough to give
Blain the key and cause a fire that explodes him and Talia. Blain and Cesar
escape. Kaden discovers the burnt lair, but then notices that Talia is still
alive. She tells him to lay low for a bit, while she finishes everyone. At the
store, everyone celebrates their victory and Blake finally asks Destini to
prom. She jokingly says no at first but says yes. Before he can use the key to
open the box, Blain feels a pain in his neck and transforms into the bat slash.
Josh then begins to remember and realizes that Blain killed his father. Josh
transforms and chases after Blain.
