The humans finally managed to get to a working communications station and let the homeworld know they’re still alive and fighting. It seems they are Space Marines, a division of the EDF that maintains a macho pride that tends to mark most Marine forces of any time or age. Freeman tells his crew that they’re the ones who have been asked to try and break the Marines free so they can use their transports to return to Earth. They are running out of supplies on the ring, and cannot stay there very much longer. Freeman remarks that this means there may be other small pockets of surviving humanity in various bases and stations in space. He speculates that perhaps D-Boy came from one of those bases, taken over by the Radamu and the survivors brainwashed into serving the aliens. D-Boy says he doesn’t know - but it seems a likely explanation. Balzac is still wandering around the base making a nuisance of himself. He’s still trying to find out what makes the Tekkaman system work. He, Honda and Rebin watch as “Blue Earth” takes off once more. Shortly the spaceship has Radamu on its tail as the alien monsters try to destroy this ship that has caused them so much trouble. Blade goes out to fight them off, and the ship continues to the Orbital Ring. Blade joins them, and it is Blade and Pegas who find the Marines first. Blade becomes D-Boy and introduces himself as one of the Space Knights. He talks to the Marine commander - a sergeant who has lost an eye. They argue for a few minutes, but eventually come to an agreement. The Sergeant persuades D-Boy to join him in a few glasses of whiskey. D-Boy reluctantly agrees - he’s never had alcohol before - and shortly passes out. He wakes to find himself in the arms of Pegas, the Sergeant singing “Johnny Boy” in Japanese as the troops accompany them to the Radamu-infested hanger where the Marine’s transport ships are docked. Shortly they are involved in full-scale battle, with D-Boy becoming Blade once more. The Marines help save Blade more than once in the battle, and he returns the favor. At one point the Sarge and Blade talk briefly about honor and the Marine’s dedication to duty, as the Sarge says farewell to dead comrades they must leave behind. They finally reach the ships, and Blade then tries to make sure the launch tubes are kept clear of Radamu as the Marines try to take off. Several ships come close to crashing due to Radamu interference, but in the end all get off safely. Behind them, that section of the Orbital Ring blows up, as the delayed bombs the Marines left behind detonate. Once they return, Honda and Rebin are puzzled by the fact Pegas is sitting there in its cradle, singing “Johnny Boy”, and D-Boy has gone off once more to brood by himself. In a bar downtown, the Sarge and his men are having a celebration - and the Sarge leaves one glass filled for the absent D-Boy.	.
