Disclaimer: I do not own Tekkaman Blade or Tekkaman Blade II. But Ezekiel is of my design.
Episode 1-
Space Knight Command Center. All of the Space Knights are gathered in the briefing room. Yumi, David, Natasha, Hayato, Goliate, Anita were all assembled with the Chief. Also with them was Dead End, their newest member. David spoke up first.
"Hey Chief, what's the emergency?"
Aki looked calmly at them, "No emergency. I called you all here to meet the newest member of the Space Knights."
The door opened and out walked a young man, wearing nothing, but black clothes. He also wore dark sunglasses, similar to the ones D-Boy wears
"Space Knights, this is Ezekiel Yukara."
Yumi walked over to him and held out her hand, "Nice to meet you, Ezekiel."
The young man looked at her briefly before shaking it. Yumi felt his hand. His hand...it's cold.
Aki continued, "Since we don't have a pilot for Dead, he will be given the assignment to do so."
Dead End stood where he was, arms folded. "I don't need a pilot."
Aki interjected, "This decision was for your benefit. Having a pilot will save you some energy during a fight."
Dead shrugged, "Fine. Doesn't matter to me either way."
Aki continued. "Ezekiel, you will be tested piloting unit Gamma. Dead End, you will join him to get the feel of fighting with a pilot."
Ezekiel and Dead responded, "Yes, Chief."
"Dismissed."
Aki left and the others began to talk with one another. David came up to his friend, "Well Dead, it looks like you're stuck with lessons."
Dead smiled at David, "Well at least I have something
to do. Unlike you."
David gave a fake frown, "Oh talk about a low blow, Dead."
Dead smiled again, "That's the point. I better get going."
Dead looked around, but Ezekiel was gone. Natasha called out, "Ezekiel left right after the meeting ended."
David nodded, but Dead remained as he was. He was still a little bitter toward Natasha because of what her father did. Even though he knew that she had nothing to do with it, he was a bit apprehensive around her. David looked a little sadly at his friend. Even though Dead was a Space Knight, he still was a rouge by nature and somewhat unstable. Nevertheless, Dead left to join up with Ezekiel. As it would have it, Ezekiel was already in Gamma and the ship was ready for flight. Dead waved at Ezekiel and Ezekiel shot the ship upward. Dead waited until Gamma reached a certain distance, Dead took out his knife/crystal and activated it.
"Tek-setta!!!!!"
Dead transformed into his tekka-form and flew on top of Gamma. It took him awhile to get used to staying on Gamma, but he managed and remained on. Down below, the other Knights watched them in action as they fought the target drones. Dead leapt off of Gamma and shot at them with his energy blasts. The first targets were destroyed and Dead fell down toward the water. But before he could so much as touch the water, Gamma zoomed in and scooped him up. The others looked in amazement.
"Whoa, did you see that? That was awesome." Yumi blurted out.
Hayato agreed, "Yeah. I never saw anyone use Gamma like that. And Dead knew exactly where and when he was coming."
The two of them then sped upward toward the next set and Dead once again jumped off, this time he took out his lancer, a black jagged sword. Dead flew upward and sliced the first few drones. He then shot out his energy wire and it hooked onto Gamma. Gamma flew down and it flung Dead End. Dead let the momentum carry him and allowed him to swing and rip through the next set of drones. And while Dead was swung downward, Gamma flew next to him and allowed him to latch himself on to him and they flew straight just before hitting the water, causing it to come up a bit. The drill was over and everyone saw everything.
Goliate smirked, "Man, they make a good team. We might be out of a job with those two around."
Gamma landed back in the docking bay and Dead jumped off and went into the shower to change. As he did, Michael came out and the Space Knight's gathered around.
"That was great flying." Yumi commented.
David also spoke, "Yeah. Where did you learn how to fly like that?"
Ezekiel looked at them without a hint of emotion and he left the docking bay, "Maybe I'll tell you later. Right now, I have work to do."
As he walked away, Natasha whispered, "Did you see that look? His eyes were blank."
Yumi also added, "And when I shook his hand, they were cold."
David spoke in, "We just have to get used him. Knowing how the Space Knights work, he probably has issues to work out."
The others laughed at this. David was right in that regard. Many of the knights had to undergo some problem in their lives at one point or another. Dead End finally came out of the shower, fully clothed. But as he did, he passed Ezekiel and barely makes out a small glittering object near his chest.
Huh? Was that a...Tekka-set?
Meanwhile, in the hidden chamber within the command center, Aki visited D-Boy with a list of reports. D-Boy swiftly looked them over and nodded to her. Then she left and D-Boy's tekka-set glowed on his forehead. Looking upward, he muttered to himself.
"The time is coming. We must be ready."
