Recap
From the wiki page Z:
In Centuria, Z joined the Brotherhood of Shadows, while Cassidy was part of the Empire.
In Z’s reality, they called Cassidy early before the match. They offered Cassidy money and a Lambo (a gift from Oji-san) in exchange for copying Cassidy’s defensive headset abilities. Cassidy inquired why Z wouldn’t copy the Freaks instead, with Z explaining the Freaks’ abilities were undesirable. In the end they shook hands and Cassidy left in her new car, with Z thanking her as a Cassidy shadow materialized.
In Cassidy’s canon reality, the Emperor sent Cassidy along with troops to aid the south coast, but they would have to pass through Forest Alliance territory - dangerous considering the tensions rising between the factions. He equipped her with Luthenil, an ancient sword granted by the elves when they were still allied with the Empire. Cassidy met with Randolph, an empire captain who would be her “second in command” and who showed himself not happy at all to have her on the lead. As they rode on the road (Cassidy on a donkey) she asked him if things could be patched with the Forest Alliance, but Randolph denied it, stating the Emperor had too much a romantic view of the past, and that the elves had killed his wife. They were interrupted by scouts identifying an army of the alliance gathering at the forest, alongside another crab contestant, Z. Z told the elves to prepare for battle, and as the trumpet rang, Randolph convinced Cassidy to rally the empire troops for a battle. A messy battle ensued, Cassidy safe from it thanks to her headset, she rescued Randolph from a battle, but he was promptly stabbed and killed by Z. Cassidy anguished, but Z mocked it, noting all of Centuria’s soldiers were just pieces for the tournament game and that one had already gotten too much attention. Z offered Cassidy to make a deal, but she refused to negotiate with an enemy of the empire, much to Z’s disbelief and annoyance. When Z tried to defeat Cassidy by force, she used the elven blade and cut their hand, knocking them to the ground and catching the attention of all the alliance members. Z accused the Empire of stealing the blade, but the elven commander recognized it had been given to the Empire long ago. Cassidy argued she had used it in self defense and that the elves attacked first, the commander told her they believed the Empire was planning to attack them, but Cassidy explained her mission - with Z insisting the empire had abandoned the coast. In the end, Cassidy offered the sword for safe passage, and seeing the manipulations would not work anymore, Z ran away - with the elven commander promising Cassidy safe passage and hoping this would mean better relationships between the alliance and the empire in the future.
