Rui Hanazawa has resurfaced and now attempts to save Tsukushi, but will he be able to do that knowing that Tsukasa has the Spade Suit aka the Suit of Swords in his possession?
And didn't he fell on the ravine a few chapters ago? How did he survive, having his legs wounded by gunfire?
Read on at what he can do to save the day...

As soon as the two took out their cards, clouds covered the sun and the sky went a bit dark as the two F-4 members stared at one another, as if a showdown is about to commence. Tsukushi continued to struggle as she was still being strangled by Tsukasa, while looking worried at how Rui would do to help her.
"Hmph! Two victims are better than one. Come with me if you wish to live. Say yes and you won't get hurt. It'll be an honor to serve Master Isaka." The F-4 hothead spoke.
"I will not do that. Release her and face me." Rui rebutted. Smirking, Tsukasa did, and punched Tsukushi on her gut very hard that she flew to the air and was caught by the other male F-4. She was unconscious and blood was flowing from her mouth. Kyo saw this and rushed to her side.
"Take her and go. I'll deal with him." Rui commanded. "But you can't! He has this..." Kyo rebutted but saw the look on Rui's eyes.
"I know...and I have just the thing to stop him. Now go!". Kyo was baffled but did as he was told, as he carried the unconscious Tsukushi to the Side Basher and sped off to the nearest hospital. His mind was awhirl at what is happening.
"You have no idea how dangerous Domyouji is...you'll ended up becoming a slave to that Isaka freak!". He sped up the vehicle as he tries to get past the other cars, attracting a police car. He stopped briefly after telling the officer about Tsukushi's condition. They escorted the two on their way to the nearest hospital.
Meanwhile, Tsukasa took out the Spade Buckle and CHANGE BEETLE card as he prepares to armor up, but was surprised to see Rui took out the CHANGE MANTIS card from his pocket and a strange buckle appeared in front of his waist. He was a bit baffled as what Rui is about to do.

Episode 36: Soroi no Kapu: Kamen Raidā Karisu ( )
Fifteen minutes later, Kyo arrived at the Osaka General Hospital and went straight to the emergency room to have Tsukushi undergo emergency treatment. He then showed to the escorting officers his student license and he got off the hook. After the coast is clear, he picked up the Gamma Phone and called DDS, telling Principal Dan about what he knew for the moment. Then he called the Makino house and informed her parents about her condition. He left the hospital to check back on the two warring F-4 members.
Back at the Naoshima Lake, Tsukasa inserted the card into the Spade Buckle and metallic belt straps encircled his waist, made a right arm motion and chanted "Henshin!", and pulled the lever on the right side of his buckle. In doing so the center portion of the buckle flipped and it revealed the Ace of Spades symbol, and the buckle said "TURN UP!", and a blue projection fired away, but Rui dodges it, as Tsukasa ran through the projection, and is instantly armored up. Tsukasa emerged as Mask Rider Blade, and is preparing to apprehend the F-4 compatriot.
"Last warning...come with me or I hurt you.". Rui did not said anything, and instead he swiped the Change Mantis card into the red buckle and said "Henshin", and his body blurred a bit and slowly changed form after the belt within Rui's waist chanted "CHANGE", and Rui now appeared as an armored fighter, and his armor resembles that of the Mantis Clow Beast!
"What?? The Mantis Clow Beast! How...??" Blade was baffled, and braces himself for a big fight.
At B.O.A.R.D. HQ, Isaka, Tennoji and the scientists stared in surprise at listening to the speakers and looking at the monitor of their computers, as the monitor registers a lock on Blade and now the Mantis Clow Beast, whose name appears as Chalice.
"Something isn't right...Rui Hanazawa became Chalice...? The buckle for the Heart Suit was never made, and only the Joker has the Change Mantis Card. I smell a conspiracy here...Blade, do not hold back! Kill Chalice and seal him, then you take his cards. Now!", Isaka ordered.
Nodding, Blade took out his Blayrouser and went for Chalice in a striking motion, but Chalice jumped aside and delivered a chop to the head, sending the armored f-4 leader diving to the ground. He got up and went for another sword slice but was again sent to the floor. Blade is starting to get agitated as he was being treated like a toy and is determined to win. He got up and opened his roulette of cards and picked some of his chosen cards to use in order to get the upper hand, and swiped it onto his Blayrouser.
"MACH".
Blade's Mach Jaguar card floated around him before going inside his armor. He began to move in blinding speed and delivered six slashes onto Chalice's body, and to his surprise, blood splattered on the ground, but it was colored green.
"You're not Rui Hanazawa...! You're a Clow Beast!" Blade exclaimed, and continued his assault. Thinking fast, Chalice took out a card from his red buckle and swiped it onto the rouse compartment of his buckle. It was the Bio Plant card.
"BIO".
As the card faded into his armor, a plant whip was formed and used it to slow down Blade by fastening it onto his opponent's leg and tripped him. He then whipped Blade until Blade's Mach effect wore off, but the spades-symbol fighter used his saber to cut off the whip, and opened his roulette of cards and swiped them onto his rouser.
"KICK..."
"THUNDER..."
Blade had just roused Kick Locust and Thunder Deer cards and the two cards vanished into his armor after levitating around him. After that a voice spoke and said "LIGHTNING BLAST", and Blade ran towards Chalice and performed a flying sidekick with electricity shining brightly at the right foot. Chalice summoned a black bow that resembled a pair of mantis arms and used it as a shield, absorbing the impact and the energy, but knew that he couldn't hold on for long so he did a monkey flip and Blade ends up colliding against a tree.
Kyo arrived just in time to see the two armored F-4 members fighting, and the younger Renjou was baffled at the scene.
"Blade's taking a beating…and who's the other one? His armor is similar…wait…could he be…Rui Hanazawa?". Kyo recalled saying that he'll handle the situation, and deduced that Hanazawa is Chalice. Blade got up and became more agitated as he refuses to be beaten.
"You fucking piece of shit! You'll die, Chalice! You hear me?? DIE!!". As Blade lunges forward, Chalice did an arrow-firing gesture, and several energy-like arrows fired away and hit its target, slowing an enraged Blade. The black-armored F-4 member then took the buckle from his beltline, and attached it onto center of the bow while another buckle emerged at his belly. He then took out two cards, which are the CHOP HEAD and TORNADO HAWK, and swiped them onto the buckle which acts as a card reader.
"TORNADO..."
"CHOP..."
The two cards levitated around him then disappeared into his armor and a voice spoke and said, "SPINNING WAVE", and a twister surrounded him while standing. Blade got up and goes for another strike, but as he got closer, chalice did a hand thrust, hitting his target on his gut. And with the attack having a force of a wind, the effect was very painful and Blade was thrown away several meters away, colliding with a huge, thick tree and he fell to the ground, knocked out.
As Blade lay on the ground, the blue projection emanated from his Spade Buckle and went through his body, reverting back to normal. Chalice approached him and placed a hand on Tsukasa's forehead, and minutes later the F-4 leader fell asleep. It turned out that Chalice used a psychic energy to free Tsukasa from Isaka's control. Kyo approached the two with caution, as he wanted to confirm something as he saw something that made him uneasy.
"I don't know who you are, but you're not Rui Hanazawa. You have blood but it's color green. Who are you, and where's the real Rui?".
Chalice stared at Kyo and was about to say something when two strangers appeared. It was the Rhino and Mole Clow Beasts. They were sent by Isaka to aid Blade, but they were too late. Kyo gritted his teeth and took out his Gamma Phone and punched in the codes.
5-9-6 ENTER
Gamma Phone: "STANDING BY…"
As Kyo was about administer the final phase to transform to Mask Rider Gamma, Chalice grabbed his shoulder and said,
"Don't. You're no match for them, and Isaka's forces might arrive, so it's best if we get Tsukasa and us out of harm's way. Follow me."
Chalice and Kyo ran uphill with the two Clow Beasts in pursuit, but as they passed by a huge boulder, the black-armored fighter got an idea.
"Hold him for me while I stall them." .As Kyo hold onto the unconscious Tsukasa, Chalice took out a card and swipe it onto his "rouser", which is the Drill Shell card.
"DRILL"
Chalice's right leg glowed and he kicked the boulder, causing it to roll down and collide with the two pursuers, dragging them down. Chalice and Kyo continued to run until they got to the other end of the hill that leads to the road. Kyo punched the codes and summoned the Side Basher, and when it arrived, Chalice placed the unconscious F-4 member on the passenger seat and looked at Kyo and said,
"Is the girl alright?". "She'll be fine…but you still have to answer my question." Kyo replied.
"All in due time, but right now take him and go". "Fine."
And so the younger Renjou cruises off towards the hospital where Tsukushi is being confined. Meanwhile Isaka became very concerned and summoned the two Clow Beasts back to HQ to have an emergency meeting.
