At the Space Knight base, Noal bitterly notes the omission. The others talk about the fact the Radamu will be crippled in their efforts for a while; Rebin asks Freeman if they can take advantage of the lull to go “out on the town” for a few hours. Freeman agrees to the request. “A little R&R will help keep your proficiency scores up,” he smiles. Mari jumps up and down with joy, and asks Aki to go shopping with her. D-Boy stalks off as the others plan what they’re going to do with their “passes”; he has no where to go, and doesn’t know enough about Earth to be able to enjoy himself. (One also has to wonder if he’s been given much of a pay check yet, all things considered...) In a clothing shop in the town nearest the Space Knight base, a young man with features very much like D-Boy’s is dressing. As he leaves the shop, the vacant-eyed clerk slumps off her chair, obviously very dead. Aki and Miri have been doing some heavy-duty shopping, and run into Rebin, who has done the same thing. Noal has been playing soccer with some school boys. As Aki, Miri and Rebin talk, Aki notices the young man we saw in the clothing shop earlier walking by, and mistakes him for D-Boy. He does not answer her hail, and she is much put out by his ignoring her. Back at base, D-Boy is pounding the stuffing out of a punching bag when Honda invites him into his quarters, where Honda shows the youngster his own hobby of wood-carving. The shoppers return, and Aki asks D-Boy why he ignored her. D-Boy denies having even left the base, and Honda backs him up. They wonder who it can be - “He looked enough like you to be your brother!” Aki says. “What - my brother?!” D-Boy exclaims. “Impossible....” On the cliffside of the island facing the Space Knight base, the strange young man with bright red eyes looks toward the base. “Sooner or later, you’ll come to me, Blade!” he thinks. A red star-shape glows on his forehead. (It seems to be the shape of his change crystal.) In the base, a green star the shape of the Blade change crystal glows on D-Boy’s forehead. He puts his hand up to it as if it hurts, and then rushes off without a word to his comrades. In the city, the other Tekkaman knows Blade is coming, and strides out to an open area where the Radamu spore plants are blooming in profusion. D-Boy recognizes his enemy as Tekkaman Evil. They exchange angry words for a few minutes, then Evil calls on his armor and attacks. D-Boy calls for Pegas, which hears him (maybe over a radio link?) and takes off from the base on its own - which also indirectly lets the Space Knights know that D-Boy has run into trouble bad enough that he’s had to summon the Tekkaman armor! Aki and Noal take off too, following Pegas’ trail at Freeman’s command. D-Boy is not doing too well against an armored Tekkaman Evil, and has fallen down a cliff. Evil prepares to strike when Pegas arrives and shoots him; then goes down to D-Boy who immediately becomes Tekkaman Blade. The two Tekkaman weapons then fight each other with cold fury. “Blue Earth” arrives in time to see both Tekkaman having at each other. They realize that this new Tekkaman must be the one the Radamu used against the escort and transport ships in the last operation. As they fight, Evil once or twice called Blade “older brother”. Then Blade realizes he has been in the Tekkaman armor almost too long and tries to call Pegas. Evil blocks the way, however, and Blade half-collapses as pain lances through him. Blade fights his way to the surface, but cannot continue to fight as the pain of maintaining the Tekkaman system any longer becomes too much. Noal and Aki arrive, and it takes their weapons to drive Evil off - as much because he has been given the idea for a truly nasty plan which will take some time to put into motion rather than due to fear of “Blue Earth’s” weapons. Pegas lands, and Blade enters to disengage the system. As the robot opens, D-Boy collapses on the ground in a dead faint, and when Aki and Noal wake him he seems to be in a daze.	.
