Tekkaman Sol continues to attack the Radamu, as Blade watches in shock. Tekkaman Sol does very well against the “BEM” type Radamu who are attacking the site. Noal and Aki on the “Blue Earth” see planes arrive which they recognize as EDF forces. Shortly the collider station is under EDF control, their team leaders including Dr. Maro. Balzac dismounts from the Tekkaman Sol armor with Maro’s help. The Space Knights recognize him from his time among them as the journalist. Balzac tells D-Boy that the Earth will no longer have to rely on someone who is more monster than human to protect them from the Radamu. This barb strikes home with more power than Balzac knows, and D-Boy turns wordlessly and returns to the “Blue Earth” as Balzac laughs cruelly. Back at base, Freeman tells Miri he knew Balzac was a spy, and gave him the plans - “They had the funds to build the armor; we didn’t,” he explains. “But...poor D-Boy, they’ve made him feel useless!” Miri responds. “We can’t rely on him alone for our defense,” Freeman shakes his head. The EDF are powering up the collider. The Space Knights discuss the situation while D-Boy tries to sleep. “The problem is, that thing may be good against normal Radamu, but what about against other Tekkamen?” Aki asks. “D- Boy, what do you think--?” D-Boy ignores her and walks off. Colbert calls and gives Balzac more orders. The EDF crew has managed to produce some sort of power source from using the collider, and Maro is to return to HQ with it. “Together we’ll defeat the Radamu!” Balzac tells Maro as they clasp hands. D- Boy, with only Pegas as itness, is pounding his bare hands against a metal wall. Above, the Knights watch as Maro prepares to return to EDF HQ on a plane; but then the Radamu attack the landing field, clearly intent on preventing the humans from getting the material Maro carries back ‘home’. Balzac runs for his armor and Aki goes to find D-Boy. Maro ejects from the damaged plane, but the Radamu cut his parachute, and the young man falls groundward. Aki finds D-Boy, and tells him he must armor up - the Radamu are attacking. “Let Balzac handle it,” he sullenly replies. “You can’t let Balzac and his prejudices stand in your way,” she says fiercely. “You were fighting the Radamu long before Balzac showed up. You’ve earned your place among us.” “Oh, very well, I’ll try,” D-Boy says, but it’s clear his heart isn’t in it. Blade and Pegas take off. Balzac finds out that he can’t fight Radamu very well when he runs out of ammo - and Blade saves his life. Not that Balzac shows any gratitude. “Show them what you’re made of, D-Boy!” Noal exults. Maro is trying to get back to safety, but finds himself facing a bunch of Radamu - and calls desperately for his friend Balzac. Maro throws the case to Tekkaman Sol even as one of the aliens skewers the scientist. Balzac, having reloaded, goes insane as he watches his friend die. Then D-Boy starts to hallucinate again, and collapses under Radamu attack, paralyzed even as his armor starts to overload. This time it is Blade who is rescued by Balzac. The Radamu finished off, Balzac runs to Maro. The dying scientist makes Balzac promise to get the case to Colbert, then dies in his friend’s arms. The pilot then blames D -Boy for Maro’s death. “You’re a monster, nothing but a monster!” he cries, even as D-Boy succumbs to complete nervous collapse. Balzac orders the EDF men to cart the catatonic young man off, and the Space Knights are helpless to prevent it. As the episode closes, we see D-Boy, seemingly lost in his own nightmares, locked up in the EDF’s brig.	.
