Episode Description: Unfortunately, Blade’s courage cannot counteract the fact he’s now facing four foes whose power equals his own - only the inexperience of the new three give him any chance at all. Miyuki is on the operating table again, her very life threatened by the fact she cannot control the energies generated within her body by the Tekkaman System. Noal in Sol Tekkaman is fighting Radamu BEMS as Blade continues his own battles. The Space Knight pilot realizes that Blade is facing more than one Tekkaman foe and realizes he’s going to have to defeat the Radamu - Blade is too busy to fight the bug-like aliens! Blade escapes from close combat for long enough to try and catch all four Radamu Tekkamen in a full-power blast. The four leap out of the way of the blast before it can hit them, but depart to continue the battle later. Noal has to half-carry the exhausted D-Boy back into the base to see his sister; then the base rocks and D-Boy knows that the Radamu Tekkamen as well as the Radamu are attacking once more. One of Colbert’s juniors, who heard the argument Freeman had with Colbert, warns Freeman that Colbert is preparing to launch the missile - and then is gunned down by Colbert himself. “You can’t stop me, Freeman,” Colbert laughs. (Can we say he’s become something of a megalomaniac?) Honda arrives in sickbay to tell the assembled Space Knights what Colbert is planning. They realize that Blade is the only one who can stop the missile - even if it means the Space Knight’s base will be destroyed by Evil, Lance, Axe, and Sword. “We’ll evacuate the base,” Freeman says. “D-Boy, we’ll take care of your little sister, I promise.” Miyuki tells him that stopping the missile is more important than she is; he must think of this new mission and leave her behind. “I’m glad my big brother found friends as good as all of you are,” she says softly. Shortly thereafter the “Blue Earth” launches, taking off from a track disintegrating as one of the Radamu Tekkamen hits it with a blast. “We won’t be needing it after the base is destroyed anyway,” Honda says sadly as they watched the launch track collapse behind the spaceship. Evil takes off after the ship, knocking it out of the sky. Unnoticed, Pegas has also launched. Evil realizes too late that the “Blue Earth” launch was a diversion. “Blade has to still be back at the base! He wouldn’t run away from this fight, not with all his friends still there!” Noal struggles to land the badly-damaged “Blue Earth”; he is the only one on board. Aki watches over Miyuki, and the two talk a little; Miyuki realizes that Aki loves her older brother Takaya. Colbert is ranting against the Radamu as he prepares to launch the missile, then sees Blade arrive. Colbert refuses to listen to Blade’s arguments against launch; the General has obviously become irrational as the argument continues. Blade takes off to try and stop the missile itself from launching even as Colbert laughs hysterically and pushes the button. The missile begins to lift off. Blade hits it with a full-energy blast with a power assist from Pegas. The resulting explosion levels the EDF HQ, incinerating Colbert and company. The four Radamu Tekkamen are tearing apart the Space Knight base even as the evacuation continues. Miyuki struggles to her feet, and gut-punches Aki when the older woman tries to stop her. “My older brother needs you, Aki,” she whispers as she makes her way out of the hospital room and finds the nearest picture window. Her armor is still trying to manifest. Falling out of the broken window, she lets the Rapier armor come, and flies out to try and fight her former comrades. She lacks the control they have over their power flow, and burns brightly with excess energy as she flies. D-Boy senses her agony and speeds up even more, but the Radamu Tekkamen are showing no mercy. Miyuki is soon up against a cliff wall, her wrists pinned to the stone by Evil’s lances. Then they start cutting her up slowly, knowing her pain will bring Blade like a bonfire draws a moth. Miyuki knows this, too, and - dying anyway from the injuries her torturers have inflicted - deliberately allows her control to collapse completely, resulting in a huge power overload as she dies. The blast from her power overload certainly shows how much energy a Tekkaman Weapon System is capable of generating. Somewhere beyond, “Blue Earth” has landed - if not too softly - and Noal is unconscious at the controls. The Space Knight base has been evacuated, and the Knights themselves scattered to the four winds.	.
