Tekkaman Blade

My fingertips are stained with blood

and nothing can stop them...

...until the day it's over, once and for all.

Destiny gone mad...

Even though I've stumbled into this eternal loneliness...

...somewhere deep down inside I can smile.

Only this battle can set me free.

Now that I no longer have anything more to lose...

...I'm never going to give up the chase

and I'll reclaim the future for myself.

I know that my soul

will find its way back to this planet someday.

Until the day this body of mine

finally shatters into pieces...

The Space Knight base was destroyed and fell into Radam hands.

Afterwards, Earth was rocked by guerrilla warfare.

And then one day Noal appeared, fighting as Sol Tekkaman.

During a battle with Tekkaman Axe, Noal found himself in grave danger...

...when suddenly, D-Boy, Tekkaman Blade, whose fate was unknown...

...arrived on the scene to rescue him.

After a long journey, D-Boy was finally reunited with his old friends.

Aki...

Welcome home.

D-Boy!

A BOUQUET ON THE BATTLEFIELD

How's it going over there, Aki?

No malfunctions whatsoever.

Okay, Pegas, it's all right to move now.

Roger.

Damn, we're out of power. And we've still got a long journey ahead of us!

If we can't find any, what's going to happen to us?

We'll be fine, Milly.

We're done checking out Sol Tekkaman and Pegas.

Good work. So how's it look?

Everything's in perfect condition.

It's been five months since we've done any maintenance... it's like a miracle!

Well, I guess D-Boy's lucky!

But he seems to have gone through a lot of fierce fighting...

...because the machine's pretty banged up. Besides...

I'm worried that the crystal's light transformation efficiency is lower.

The best thing to do would be to replace it with a new, perfect crystal.

No matter how you look at it, we need one of the enemy's crystals.

We can't even get to the Radam base on the moon without a crystal.

If we had a crystal, we could modify Pegas and go into space...

...by using the crystal's powers.

If we get a new one, I want to perform an intensive study at our base...

...at least, that's what I'd normally say. But...

Our base? You've already restored the Space Knights' base?

Well...

The Chief and Mr. Honda are doing their best to restore it.

But...

The damage is so severe... they don't know how many months it will take...

...just to repair the Blue Earth and the Catapult.

Worst of all, we have no way of staying in contact with the base.

We have no base or spaceship, so we've been...

...wandering in search of a ship for five months.

Meanwhile, the enemy's been making steady progress.

When the Radam trees started to bud, the land covered by them...

...started to liquefy, like a swamp.

We can't get too close, or we'll be swallowed up and killed.

When the Radam trees bloom, the invasion of Earth will be complete.

I wonder if this is what Miyuki was talking about.

I don't know.

But I don't think the Radam are done yet.

That's why you need a crystal, right?

Axe, Lance, Sword and Evil...

I'm going to defeat them all and get their crystals, no matter what.

But be careful, D-Boy.

"We were finally reunited. I don't want to be separated again," you mean?

Noal!

Huh? Hey, look at that, everyone!

Isn't that where we're headed?

We're saved!

I thought this vehicle would die on us any second. Looks like we can refuel.

Okay, we've got to cook something delicious for D-Boy and Noal...

...when they get back from reconnaissance... so let's do our best!

Ouch!

Aki! Never mind. Never mind, it's really all right!

You know what, I'll go do something else.

Really, Rebin!

She finally got to meet D-Boy again!

Don't you know how much Aki wants to cook a great meal for D-Boy?

Of course, I know. But still...

That's just not going to do...

I guess I'm not going to get any gold stars as a girl, am I?

The only thing I can do is...

The answer is no!

You're being really blunt about it.

We don't have any electricity for strangers who aren't from this city.

Come on, give us a break!

Humph, you strangers show up out of the blue... you're all so shameless!

What did you say?

The Radam could attack any time, once they sniff out this energy.

We generate electricity once a month, and only for five hours...

...to avoid Radam surveillance.

You understand what that means, don't you?

Even we don't have sufficient power.

We have no obligation to give our precious power to strangers.

I don't know what else to tell you.

Would you give the same answer if you knew we were Space Knights?

Space Knights? You've got a lot of nerve, to come begging to us!

We're forced to live like this, thanks to you and that lame battle you lost!

Now, go home. Go home!

Damn you!

Noal!

It's no use trying to talk them into it.

I guess strangers aren't welcome here after all.

It's like this everywhere.

People are all desperate to protect themselves.

There's no end in sight for this energy crisis.

Anyway, let's try asking them again tomorrow.

Would you like some flowers?

Why don't you get them for Aki?

No need to be embarrassed!

Nothing bad will happen to you, just because you buy Aki some flowers.

We didn't know if you were dead or alive, Aki's been so depressed...

...the last five months.

And then I saw it for the first time.

Aki, I mean.

Aki... who looked like she'd never believed in God in her life...

...but I saw her praying hard in a church.

You saw Aki...

I know you've had a hard time the last five months.

But I think you owe at least half of your life to Aki's prayers.

What the hell?

Noal! You mean you just came back after he humiliated you like that?

We always bust our tails in battle! What does he mean by lame?

Ouch!

I'm sorry.

Never mind, I'm going to try again.

They run the power station once a month, and the next day...

...happens to be tomorrow.

I hope they're nice and give us some energy.

Leave it to me! I'll go and give them a piece of my mind!

You're too pathetic, Noal!

D-Boy...

I won't let you kill them!

D-Boy...

You're thinking about Miyuki, aren't you?

The Radam base is on the moon, right?

Yes.

But I can't even avenge Miyuki's death now.

But D-Boy...

...someday... someday you will, for sure!

Yes. Someday, I'll make it there. No matter what.

This is the data I collected on Tekkaman Axe during our journey.

On Tekkaman Axe?

It may help you guess where Axe is.

Thank you, Aki.

This is all I can do now for you, D-Boy.

We've got to refuel quickly if we're going to keep pursuing Axe, right?

Yes.

You won't even give us enough power to get to the next town?

Hey, you! Do you want us to push our trailer there ourselves?

This is not just an idle threat. One word from me, and you'll be dead.

Noal...

Now get out of my sight!

Let's go, Noal.

Okay, let's run the turbine!

No sign of the Radam within a five kilometer radius.

Start it up!

Damn them!

Now that Earth's in crisis, all they can think about is themselves.

You should just blast them away with Sol Tekkaman!

I'd do that if I could.

But since they're civilians, we can't just attack them.

Never mind, let's get to the next supply point.

Really, now!

We'll never find Tekkaman Axe like this, much less the moon base!

All right, everything's going well.

No malfunctions in the turbines. We are generating more electricity.

Nothing abnormal detected.

There's a rapid decrease in production volume!

Impossible! Stop the turbine engine!

It's the Radam! Cut off the energy supply!

This is bad!

A Radam monster?

Ugh, it's so gigantic it's grossing me out!

Dammit, he's planning on filling up before he heads home.

We're going back, Noal.

Huh? Why should we help those bastards?

But we can't abandon them.

I'm mobilizing as Tekkaman.

Do they have to be in perfect sync at times like this?

Well, of course we can't abandon them.

Pegas! Tek-Setter!

Roger!

The flowers!

The flowers...

Aki, be careful. Just leave it to Milly and me!

Noal, are you ready?

I'm ready!

For D-Boy... I'm going to blast that Radam to kingdom come!

Tekkaman Blade!

What are you doing? Why aren't you protecting our power station?

So you were ready to shoot us, but not the Radam monsters, huh?

Space Knights? Yes, you're just the people we need in times like these!

Hurry, you've got to kill it!

What?

Doesn't he have any shame at all?

We're not obligated to help them, but we can't just abandon them.

Damn, that thing's way too big!

The power station!

What?

There's a little girl there!

D-Boy!

D-Boy!

No... if I fire the Voltekker now, that girl will be killed, too...

Why aren't you using the Voltekker?

What the hell is he doing?

D-Boy!

Hold tight, now!

Aki!

I won't let you!

Voltekker!

Thank you very much!

The energy supply! Refueling process... no malfunctions at 60%.

Roger.

As for the output transducer... nothing abnormal detected.

Roger.

Thank you.

Because you saved me, Aki.

D-Boy.

D-Boy...

For now...

For now I'm happy with the way things are.

In a dream I had last night, I saw your smiling face.

But when I opened my eyes,

it was still the same as yesterday.

Forgetting what kindness is, I close off my heart.

All the pain and hatred raining down day after day.

Noal's hometown has been ravaged by the marauding Radam monsters.

And so have the people's hearts...
