Colbert is frantic - somehow, somewhere the enemy has found a way to increase the energy reserves of the Ring. His aide recommends asking the Space Knights to send Tekkaman Blade to investigate. Colbert about has apoplexy - he’s tired of relying on the Space Knights to do the work he thinks the EDF should be doing, and curses Freeman for “hoarding” the Tekkaman technology. “We’ve got to have a Tekkaman system of our own!” he rages. Suddenly a nasty grin crosses his lips. Shortly thereafter, a blond, bearded military journalist shows up at the Space Knight’s base. We become aware in just a few minutes that he’s certainly no ordinary correspondent. Honda and D-Boy are working at repairing and expanding the capabilities of Pegas as Miri and Rebin monitor their work. The correspondent then shows up, introduces himself as “Journalist/Cameraman Balzac”, and tells them he’s been assigned to file a report on the Tekkaman “crew”. Honda takes an immediate dislike to the man, but they are interrupted by a Red Alert. Freeman briefs Noal, Aki and D-Boy about the renewed problems with the Orbital Ring and Colbert’s current request. He tells them about the array of laser cannon on the ring, and how the aliens seem to have been able to increase the power output - and thus add to the destructiveness - of the weapons. Balzac tells them he’s supposed to go along with them in the “Blue Earth” to report on a space mission. He asks D-Boy to tell him more about his background, and Aki chews him out for being impolite. Freeman has already begun to suspect the man is Colbert’s spy, and agrees to let him go along. The “Blue Earth” takes off with an extra passenger as a result. D-Boy finds him taking pictures of Pegas, and the correspondent then continues to needle D-Boy. He then enters Pegas as Balzac watches, and then Pegas drops down out of the ship’s bay - they have succeeded in installing a propulsion system into the humanoid robot. Once space borne, the Tekkaman transformation finishes and Pegas releases Blade for combat. As he leads the Radamu forces away, the crew of the “Blue Earth” head for the ring area where the laser controls are. Blade gleefully demolishes the enemy as Balzac watches with some awe. The ship lands on the Orbital Ring, and the three - including the correspondent - head for the laser system control room. They are attacked by Radamu enroute, and only Blade’s arrival saves them. They discover that the laser controls are enveloped inside a gelatinous alien blob, which seems to be both feeding more power to the system and controlling it. Aki warns that Blade must take care in defending them here and trying to cut through the blob; if the controls are damaged the lasers will start firing uncontrollably and will wreak even more havoc on Earth. Blade orders Pegas to approach the blob and lift it off the control consoles as D-Boy continues to deal with more Radamu warriors. One of the warriors gets through and, while trying to attack the humans, damages the computer controls. Aki works frantically to abort the random-fire program for the lasers, but it is the correspondent who pushes her aside and actually manages to shut them down. Blade blasts more Radamu as his comrades return to the “Blue Earth”, and Balzac brushes off their questions as to how he got the knowledge to delete the firing program. When they return to base, Balzac files his first report...but not to any news agency, we suspect!	.
