.	Episode Description: Staying in the Blade armor to long has driven D-Boy insane, and he proceeds to destroy anything and anyone in his way. (I suspect, considering that Tekkaman Evil obviously has no such limitation, that it is the fact Blade’s change crystal is damaged that creates this problem.) Noal and Aki watch in agony as Blade runs amok through EDF forces. Freeman orders them to stay out of the way and keep track of the insane, incredibly powerful weapon. Inside his head, D-Boy is in full battle with Tekkaman Evil, and everyone and everything around him turns into his enemy. He sees his sister Miyuki again, and even she turns into a Tekkaman - not Tekkaman Evil, but still an enemy. He believes himself in a cavern, tied up by Radamu plants, and sees his brother approaching. “Shinya,” he whispers. Then Shinya glows and becomes Evil, attacking and trying to kill his imprisoned brother. In the real world, Blade strikes out against his hallucinations. Colbert is having hysterics, and calls up Freeman to order him to have the Tekkaman system turned off. “There is no way we can do it from the outside,” he is told. “Then I’ll do it for you! We’re trying to evacuate the city he’s heading for, but we’ll never get all those people out in time. We’ll use the most powerful weapons we have to eliminate Tekkaman Blade!” Freeman relays the unpleasant news to Aki and Noal, who are extremely upset. They try and talk to D-Boy in an attempt to get thorough to him, but he attacks them instead. Noal barely evades the attack. An EDF battalion of missile units fires at Blade, but not only is Tekkaman unhurt, but it seems he never even noticed the attack. Colbert orders a small nuclear missile launched. In the Orbital Ring, Evil watches, gloating that he’s managed to turn the human’s only real defense against them. Freeman orders Aki and Noal to leave the area, but stay close enough to observe. Tekkaman barely notices the blast any more than he did the earlier conventional missiles. Aki and Noal are glad to see D-Boy is still alive, but have to report he’s still headed for the city. Colbert is shocked; he had no idea the Tekkaman system was able to stand that powerful an attack. D-Boy is still hallucinating. He sees his older brother and his two younger siblings; they turn and become Tekkamen. (The picture isn’t too clear, but it looks like his older brother turns into Tekkaman Omega...) The ground gives way under him, and Miyuki saves him by grabbing his arm. Then, as he thanks her, she turns into a Tekkaman again (from the material in the anime zines, this time we can see that she has become Tekkaman Rapier.) He falls, and she rescues him again. Then she is killed from behind - by Shinya, who turns into Evil. “Miyuki!” he screams - and overhead, Aki and Noal pick up the words over the radio. “Miyuki? Who is Miyuki?” they ask. At the base, Miri says, “Miyuki is his younger sister.” Suddenly she starts. “I know...perhaps there is a way I can get through to him!” she exclaims. Freeman calls Rebin and Honda, who report they have repaired Pegas. He orders Miri to go out with Pegas and try out her idea. Noal protests, but Freeman tells them they have no other choice but to try it - if Blade is not stopped, the city will die. Miri is a Space Knight, too... Miri lands her transport on the bridge leading into the city, the bridge Blade is now starting across. The young woman walks straight towards D-Boy, begging him to stop, in the name of his sister Miyuki. “She wouldn’t want you to do this,” she says. Blade picks Miri up and starts to throttle her. In his hallucination, D-Boy sees her become his sister, and drops the unconscious Miri. He backs off, and the red in his eyes goes out - and then Blade collapses. Noal orders Pegas in, and the robot picks up Blade and places him inside its body. Aki and Noal run to Miri, who is waking up. “D-Boy...is he...?” Miri whispers. “He stopped,” Aki tells her. Just then Pegas opens up, and D-Boy’s unconscious form drops out like a bag of wet sand. He is starting to recover by the time Noal gets to him. “I almost...I almost...” he whispers, then grabs Noal by the collar. “Get me to the Orbital Ring! That’s where Evil is!” he screams. Aki and Noal take him into space, and Blade then uses his full power blast against the section of the Orbital Ring where he knows Evil is sitting. Evil drifts away in space, damaged but not killed. “I’ll be back, brother!” he laughs softly as he floats. Later, D-Boy is looking at the moon when Miri finds them, and they talk softly for a minute as he thanks her for breaking him out of his madness. Elsewhere in the base, Balzac is getting orders from Colbert to find out all he can about the Tekkaman system, at any cost...	.
