D-Boy is working out in the weight room (isn’t it wonderful that these people all have hobbies to occupy their copious spare time?) when Aki finds him. Noal is beside him, also using the exercise machinery. Noal glances from D-Boy to Aki and tries to depart to leave the two alone, but Rebin runs him down enroute to informing D-Boy that they’ve revamped Pegas’ power system. Aki follows Noal out as Noal fumes about the Chief’s cold heartedness. The Chief, however, is having problems coming up with a new design for Pegas that will work. In the desert, Miyuki is struggling across more sand dunes. “I’ve got to find my older brother, Takaya,” she whispers as she collapses in the hot sun. Evil is still searching, and flies over a small Arab encampment. Within, the unconscious Miyuki begins to wake up. Unknown to the Arabs, the crater they are camped beside is home for a Radamu. It is disturbed and awakened when a camel breaks free, and comes up after several of the Arab children. Miyuki turns into Rapier and rescues the children - and then finds the Arabs, even the children she has saved, drawing away from her in horror. “It’s a monster!” someone whispers. Miyuki snaps, and cries out in agonizing pain, shooting off like a shell - only to fall back to the desert far away. Shinya shows up where the EDF is rebuilding their base, dressed to look like D-Boy. (While not identical, the two twins do look remarkably alike.) One of the pilots thinks he IS D-Boy (too bad he doesn’t notice Shinya doesn’t have his older brother’s facial scar) and is persuaded to take him to the Space Knight base. The Space Knights are all in the main monitoring room as the Chief brings in the computer disk as Miri yells “Victory!”. They can finish the revisions to Pegas, which should help D-Boy remain as Blade longer as well as counter the “ball lightning” weapon Evil has demonstrated. Noal is still upset, telling the Chief that D-Boy is a human being, not a machine to be programmed for better battle responses. They argue back and forth for a minute, and then the EDF plane approaches - passing through the outer defenses. Shinya turns into Evil, and the plane explodes - Evil has gotten through the perimeter defenses through subterfuge. Until the work on Pegas is finished, however, D-Boy cannot turn into Blade; so Noal must take the Sol Tekkaman out to try and buy them enough time to complete the work. Rebin has to hold D-Boy back by physical force as he fights to become Blade and fight the attacking Evil. Aki arrives and convinces him to wait; only the completion of the “Hypertech Adjustment” will allow him to defeat Evil this time - it should help him counter Evil’s new “plasma ball” weapon. Reluctantly, D-Boy agrees. Outside, Evil is screaming for Blade to come out and fight him. In the desert far away, Miyuki is struggling across the deep sand again, blanket held tight around her. (Don’t ask me WHERE she got the bloody blanket - she was totally naked during the transformation sequences, and didn’t have a blanket when she turned INTO Rapier this time...)	.
