There is a meeting of the Space Knights during which Freeman tries to pry out of D-Boy what he knows about the aliens. D-Boy doesn’t remember enough to be helpful. Their meeting is interrupted by a call from Colbert. It seems a new type of alien has been developed, and they are wreaking havoc on the EDF planes. He wants Tekkaman Blade to go out against them. The tension between the EDF and the Space Knights is palpable during the visphone confrontation. The others are worried that the task will be too much for the still weakened D-Boy; Noal still blames him for Aki’s injury and basically says he hopes Blade will pay for what he’s done to the woman. Miri tells him off, but Noal brushes the comments off and roughs up D-Boy again before stalking off to sulk. Rebin and Honda are in charge of the team repairing the “Blue Earth.” Noal is watching over Aki from an observation room while brooding when Blade comes in and apologizes to the unconscious woman because his actions have endangered her and led to her being injured. D-Boy then leaves, and Miri finds him looking morosely at the stars overhead. They talk for a little while, and D-Boy tells her a little about why he’s fighting the aliens. He also tells her that he can only remain as Blade for a short time before his energy runs out. Shortly the repaired “Blue Earth”, D-Boy, Miri and Noal on board, are taking off to return to the battered defense satellite ring. D-Boy departs to the lock and once more transforms into Tekkaman Blade. He immediately starts fighting aliens who want to abort his mission for him. The Space Knights watch anxiously as he battles on. Colbert watches but is gloating - it’s almost as if he WANTS Blade to fail and be killed. Miri is worried as Blade stays in Tekkaman armor longer and longer; Noal seems indifferent - then Blade is captured by several of the aliens just as his power resources are beginning to burn out. Then Noal starts to show his worry, and takes in the “Blue Earth” to help Blade out. Blade then uses the “Blue Earth” as sort of a combat chariot, as the space ship heads for the mass of alien - “egg sack” is the best term I can come up with - which the Tekkaman armor tries to take out unsuccessfully. Noal uses the “Blue Earth’s” lasers to finish the job, after some soul searching about whether he should blast Tekkaman Blade as well. Upon their return Noal is knocked about by Honda as he’s damaged the watch given to him as collateral earlier that episode. Aki finally wakes up, although still confined to sick bay. Noal joins D-Boy on the roof to watch the stars, as the two start to come to terms with their antagonism. On Luna, a figure who will later be introduced to us as Tekkaman Omega contemplates the problem Blade has turned into, and begins plans to eliminate the traitor.	.
