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 people were leading lives of fear...

...under Radam oppression.

After five months wandering, 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 get to the moon, where the Radam base is located.

WAITING GIRL

The Radam tree forest just keeps expanding.

And once it's done expanding, who knows what will happen?

The radar's picking up something coming out from the forest.

There's a lot of them! And they're headed toward us!

What the...

What's that?

Wait! Look at that!

They're about to turn into plants.

I've never seen this happening... so that's how it works.

I guess it's got to start somehow. It's no use fighting the little pests.

It'll be dark soon. We'd better move on.

Hey! There's a castle over there.

We should go there. It's the perfect place to spend the night.

Someone might still be living there.

All the better... we should advise them to move out.

It's a matter of time before they're swallowed up by the Radam forest.

Hello?

Isn't anybody home?

Pegas, come over here.

Roger.

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna do this.

Pegas, open this door.

Roger.

Stop it. Pegas, don't open it!

Roger.

Open it, Pegas!

Roger.

No!

Roger.

Open it!

Roger.

No!

Rog-

Stop it, you two! You're confusing Pegas.

What the...

Are you visitors to our castle?

I've been commanded to let all visitors enter the castle.

Noal...

Don't worry.

They've invited us, right? It would be rude to decline.

He's right.

This is the first time I've ever met another robot like me.

You seem to be more clever than Pegas! What's your name?

My name is Robbie.

Pleased to meet you, Robbie.

How lovely!

These are all antiques.

If you want to know what a real antique is, it's the robot.

His body... it's from at least half a century ago!

Although I must say they seem to have modified his internals a bit.

If you please... my mistress will meet you in here.

Your mistress?

Amazing!

Oh, my, Robbie! So we do have guests today!

Welcome to our castle.

My name is Gloria.

My name is Milly. Pleased to meet you.

It's no trouble at all, really. You can stay here as long as you like.

Well, isn't there anyone else living in this castle?

Normally, my grandfather would be the one to welcome you...

...but he went to town on business and hasn't come back yet.

When did he go?

I believe it was about... half a year ago.

Half a year? He's been gone that long?

Yes.

That was when the Radam launched a large-scale attack.

And when the forest of Radam trees changed so drastically.

Then are you living here alone?

No, I live with Robbie.

Thank you for your patience.

Have some tea.

Oh, thanks.

Listen, Miss... why don't you go out and look for your grandfather?

Why do you say that? I can't possibly leave the castle until he comes back.

Because that's what I promised him, you see.

You have noticed the strange trees growing around the castle, right?

There were never such trees before.

That forest is expanding, and soon it will swallow up this castle as well.

I find that hard to believe.

Gloria, your grandfather might be...

Noal.

Well, we can continue this conversation after dinner.

Robbie, will you show the guests to their rooms?

Let's see, how about the North Tower?

Yes, Miss. Please come with me.

Miss Milly.

Yes?

Would you mind coming to my room?

My clothes would fit you well, I'm sure. I can lend you a dress.

What? But...

You're right! You'd better say no thank you.

No way would a dress ever suit you, Milly!

That's not true. I accept your offer, Gloria.

Hey, Milly.

It just won't work for you!

Wow!

How gorgeous!

This one's mine, you guys!

Help yourself to whatever you like!

Sweet!

Your rooms are further down the hall.

It won't be possible for you to enter. Would you mind waiting in the hall?

Just do it, Pegas.

Roger.

We'll be serving dinner at 6 o'clock.

Please feel free to bathe and rest yourselves until then.

Thank you.

He looks clunky, but he's actually a fine butler.

I want a machine like that for myself, too.

Never mind that, I'm worried about Gloria...

She's a funny girl, don't you think?

I'm sure she's no different than any young lady living in a castle.

So what do you think, D-Boy?

He's probably dead... her grandfather.

That's what I think. We've got to persuade her to leave this castle.

Let's do what we can to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

Right.

Now, pick out whichever you like.

Oh, my gosh!

Are these all yours?

Yes.

Let's see, how about this one?

Try it on.

All right.

It will look lovely with that dress.

But is it all right?

This is the first time I've ever met a girl my own age.

What?

Miss Milly, won't you please be my friend?

No more "Miss Milly", then. Just call me Milly.

Thank you, Milly.

Pegas, could you please give me a hand?

I do not share your abilities, Robbie.

I just need you to serve the food.

That is acceptable!

This is good wine.

Don't drink too much.

It's an aperitif.

Thank you for your patience.

Pegas, what's the matter with you?

I'm helping Robbie.

Are you?

You should use this opportunity to learn from Robbie.

Roger.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Now, then, Milly.

Hey, what a surprise.

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

I don't believe it! That dress actually becomes you!

Pegas! What do you think you're doing?

You're welcome.

Really, now!

It's been so long since things have been so peaceful.

I know, it's been a while.

I hope Milly does a good job of persuading her.

Right.

Listen, Gloria, I think you should go to town with us.

Why?

Because your castle could get swallowed up by the Radam trees.

I promised my grandfather that I'd wait here.

But we'll be leaving tomorrow.

And then you'll be all alone again.

Are you going to keep waiting for your grandfather?

You don't even know when he's coming back.

Milly, won't you please stay with me?

At least until my grandfather comes home.

I can't do that.

Please don't say you can't.

Come now, Milly... why don't you live with me here?

Gloria...

Let's go back.

What are we going down to the basement for, anyway?

An old castle like this... there's got to be vintage wine in the cellar.

But you shouldn't just take it...

That young lady and the robot will never appreciate the taste!

Hey, wait up, will you?

I bet this is it.

Noal...

Huh?

What? It's an electronic lock. Come on, Rebin... please?

Jeez... there better be some really good wine in there!

Hey, it's already unlocked.

What?

If I just go like this...

Warning. Moble life-forms approaching.

Possibly Radam...

What?

Come with me, Pegas!

Roger.

Not bad for a robot production facility!

Robbie must've been built here, too.

Gloria and her grandfather...

On Gloria's 14th birthday, in Marseilles...

...August, in the year 169 by the Allied Earth Calendar.

169?

That's over 20 years ago! What's this all about?

It's strange.

It's much too sophisticated just for building Robbie.

What's the matter, Noal?

Rebin...

Pegas!

Roger.

Pegas, Tek-Setter!

Tekkaman Blade!

We've got to get out of here!

No, I can't. I promised grandfather I'd never leave the castle.

What are you talking about? The Radam are attacking us!

Milly! Gloria! Hurry, you've got to get outside!

Robbie!

There's an underground shelter. We can hide in there.

Let's go.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Don't worry, Milly. We'll be safe in the shelter.

The three of us can live there forever!

Gloria!

Hey!

Are you all right?

Yes, but we've got to do something, or...

They're trying to expand the Radam forest. We'll be totally surrounded.

We've got to get down there, before they block the way.

D-Boy! Noal!

Where is everyone?

Aki, Milly and Gloria aren't here.

What are they doing?

Noal, take care of the Greenland. I'm going after Aki and the others.

Leave it to me!

Please come with me!

No! We've got to go outside!

I promised my grandfather.

I must wait for him in this castle until he returns.

Milly! Gloria! What are you doing? We've got to get out of here!

Stop it, Robbie!

Now, let's take Milly to the shelter.

Stop it, Robbie!

Just bring her along.

Let me go, Robbie!

Which order am I supposed to obey?

Gloria! Gloria!

Milly! Gloria! What's going on? Hurry, we've got to escape!

I won't leave this castle. I promised my grandfather.

But...

No! Please! Just stay with me... Oh!

Please run away. I will take my mistress to the shelter.

Robbie!

Milly, hurry up!

Thank you, Robbie.

Saving a human life is the order with the highest priority.

Milly, hurry up!

Gloria, hurry, you've got to get away!

Robbie, stop it!

D-Boy.

Robbie... you're going to let Milly go, aren't you?

I have to, because it will be too dangerous.

You won't ever leave me, will you?

My master's order was to take care of you, Miss Gloria.

Oh, Robbie. Why won't he come back to me?

It's highly possible that...

No, I don't know.

Will you go outside with Milly?

No, I'm going to wait for him here. Because that's what I promised him.

Very well.

What's become of them?

They've taken refuge in the shelter, I think.

Do you really think so?

Yes, because she's been waiting for her grandfather with all her heart.

It's like a dream, don't you think? That we were staying in that castle.

Oh, the castle!

We were all lost inside someone else's memories.

What do you mean?

I don't know. It might just be a lingering memory.

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.

After rescuing a young woman named Lille from a Radam attack...

D-Boy and the others are invited into her home.

Who is the person they run into unexpectedly?
