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 Knights' base fell and vanished from the face of the Earth...

...on May 6 in the Year 192 by the Allied Earth Calendar.

The planet had been ravaged, and the people were leading...

...lives of fear under Radam oppression.

After wandering five months, D-Boy was reunited with Aki and the others.

They set off to search for the crystals owned by Axe, Sword and Lance...

...to enable them to reach the moon, where the Radam base is located.

TRACES OF MY FATHER

They've attacked this town, too.

But it's in better shape than most.

After all, there are still some buildings left to live in.

According to the rumors, Axe was here, but I guess they were wrong.

What? What do you mean, wrong?

The Radam would never have left it like this... only partially destroyed.

I guess you have a point.

All right, then. We're heading to that residential area over there.

If we play our cards right, they might give us some energy.

We're going to try to get some more information.

Be careful. It might not have been Tekkaman Axe...

...but this place did get attacked by someone, remember.

See you later!

I wonder what's up with Noal.

What?

Noal...

Better not talk, or you'll end up biting your tongue.

Dammit!

Let's try another street.

Oh!

Um..."Vereuse Avenue".

But isn't Vereuse your last name, Noal?

What?

Let's go.

Noal!

I remember hearing about it once.

Noal is one of the Vereuse, a distinguished family from this area...

...and their family crest is a rose.

A rose crest?

Then this mansion must be...

Yes.

He must've come here to make sure his family is safe.

Ouch! Ouch! Mama...

Don't cry, Noal.

A soldier has to show a brave face at all times.

No matter how painful it may be, he must never cry in front of others.

Is everyone dead?

That's right! The pool!

There's got to be someone inside the shelter.

Stop it! If you touch that, I'll show you no mercy.

Now, leave the grounds at once!

All right, fine.

But that's...

Christophe!

My master.

My Master Noal!

Sorry about that! I didn't realize it was you, Christophe.

Master Noal, I'm so glad you're safe.

Christophe! Same here!

So, is everyone all right? What about Dad?

He's in the shelter, isn't he?

Master Noal! You're alive!

Oh, I'm so glad to see you all! Where's Dad?

Please forgive us!

We, the servants and our families, have been using this shelter.

Where's my father?

We were attacked by the Radam.

Your father let us take refuge in this shelter...

...and then he went off to face the monsters alone... he was so brave...

I see.

Don't cry, Noal. A soldier has to show a brave face at all times.

No matter how painful it may be, he must never cry in front of others.

I know that, Dad.

My father was always proud to be a soldier.

He had to retire for his health, but his spirit never grew weak.

Only a strong man like that could've faced the Radam monsters alone.

He wanted me to become a soldier like him...

...and forced me to join the military academy.

But I hated how strict it was. When the Chief invited me, I transferred...

...to the Outer Space Development Organization.

My father was furious with me, and disowned me as his son.

If he were alive now, he'd see you...

...fighting the Radam more bravely than a common soldier.

Well, I've got no time to shed any tears.

Master Noal!

Grandpa.

Christophe, you... huh? Are you...

Noal!

Are you Sophia?

So that little tomboy I know is a lady now.

I had no idea!

Noal...

This is Sophia. She's the granddaughter of Christophe.

This is Aki, and that's Milly. They're members of the Space Knights.

So nice to meet you.

So, are you Noal's girlfriend?

Oh, no...

No, that's right.

Every girl in the world is my girlfriend.

Pegas, for how long?

Starting three minutes ago, I have been detecting life-form readings...

...from the pile of masonry and small stones to the left.

What are you talking about?

Why don't you give him a surprise?

Roger.

Stop it!

Ouch, let me go!

What are you hiding back there?

Please forgive me. I made a mistake. Mistaken identity!

Who did you mistake us for?

I thought they'd come again to destroy our town.

Who do you mean by "they"?

The Hyenas.

They come in groups and do whatever they feel like...

Are they human beings?

Yes. They're human beings, like us.

Hey, I hit it!

Half of these children are orphans who lost their parents.

You're helping with their studies in place of mothers and teachers?

I really admire you!

Oh, no, what I'm doing isn't anything special.

Hey, hey, hey...

Here you go!

Oh, did you see that? He's really good!

Noal? What?

What?

I'd like the children to be able to play soccer.

Soccer? Don't you know the world's in a state of emergency now?

I know very well, it's not the time for such things.

But just because of the way the world is now...

...I'd like them to learn to play by the rules and sympathize with others.

To do that, we need a large playground, so...

...the children can run around to their heart's content.

All of the land is covered in piles of garbage and Radam tree swamps.

And besides...

Is there something else we need to worry about?

Lately we've been under attack by those Hyenas who plunder and...

...ravage the town.

D-Boy said this town wasn't hit by Radam, but something else...

I don't want the children to turn into hyenas like that.

This is a crucial time. Even if the world is overrun by Radam trees...

...I won't let them take root in the children's hearts!

Okay, I've got it.

I can make a good-sized playing field by tearing down the big house.

But, Noal...

Don't worry about it. It would make my late father happy, too.

Come on! Come on!

Okay, good job!

Here's some water, Noal.

Thanks.

The thing is, we can't play soccer without a ball.

Well, Sophia says she has a surprise for you.

She's gone to get it now.

A surprise?

At last, the day has come to use this ball again!

What's the matter?

It must be... the Hyenas!

Dammit.

Ladies and gentlemen, your princess has returned home.

Oh, Sophia!

How could they...

It's the soccer ball!

What?

Sophia told us it was the ball Noal used to win the championship!

Go back now, everybody.

Noal!

Master Noal!

Stop it! Noal!

Stop it!

Master Noal!

Noal!

You'll never set foot inside.

Hey, we want to live in a big mansion, too.

Radam! So many Radam monsters!

They must have been attracted by the flashes from the missiles!

Hurry, take Noal back!

Right!

Here they come! The monsters!

Shoot!

Noal, are you all right?

Milly! Take me to Sol Tekkaman, will you?

Hurry up, Noal!

Aki, please look after Sophia.

All right.

Damned monsters! You killed my master!

Stop it! Don't do anything stupid now!

This old man is ready give up his life anytime to avenge his master!

Hurry up and go to the shelter with Sophia.

Just leave this to me!

Noal! You're running low on energy.

You can't possibly fight so many Radam alone.

I'm the kind of man who never folds in poker...

...even if I know my opponent has four of a kind!

Noal!

Hurry, just get out of here!

Damn, there are so many... even with Sol Tekkaman...

Hell, I'm just like my father!

Dammit!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

What were you doing, picking up girls in town?

That's a huge field! The kids have plenty of room to run around now.

The target of my father's vengeance, the Radam, helped me...

...take down this house. Pretty ironic, huh?

It's a wonderful legacy from your father... for the future.

Right.

Let's go!

But...

This place doesn't belong to me anymore.

Hey, how you could be so cruel? Leaving me all alone like that!

I'm sorry. I thought you'd be coming later.

I know!

Well! I did my job too, you know. I managed to dig up some information.

What is it?

Please, Rebin.

Apparently a Tekkaman who isn't D-Boy has been sighted. It's true!

Is it Tekkaman Axe, Lance... or Sword?

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.

Hoping to avenge her fallen comrades, a woman waits for the Radam.

The code of those who've lost their dreams... Rebin is deeply moved.
