A week has passed since then. The Space Knights were going through their normal training routines. They finished the drones off before record time and they were dismissed early. Yumi, Natasha, Goliathe and Anita went shopping together while David and Dead hung out at the bar. While they were their, they talked about many things, with Dead mostly teasing David about his crush on the Chief and David retaliating about Dead's feminine appearance. Afterward, the two walked together when they saw Ezekiel on the beach, alone near the water. He was wearing a trench coat and it whipped around in the wind. He was just standing there staring up into space when David approached him.

"Nice night, huh."

Ezekiel turned to him, the same blank expression in his eyes before looking back into space. David gave a questioning look and Dead caught up with them.

"Well, it seems that we have another dark, sullen type. Want to talk?"

"No."

Dead narrowed his eyes, probing the young pilot, "Oh I see. You're a listener. Is that it?"

Ezekiel's face remained as it was, but slowly, he nodded, "Yes."

David smiled, "Well, that makes things interesting. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Why?"

"Because we'd like to get to know you better. No sense in being alone."

Ezekiel looked at him questionable before turning back to the sky again. "Shoot."

Dead spoke first, "Where are you from?"

Ezekiel looked down into the water, "Someplace that no longer exists."

Dead continued, "Is that so? Well that leaves just about three choices. Sagrato?"

"No."

"Terrace Peak?"

"No."

Dead's eyes narrowed.

"Prague?"

"........."

A half-smirk came up on Dead's face, "Bull's eye. It figures. It's written all over your face."

David put his hand on Michael's shoulder, "I'm sorry."

The monotone voice came up again, "Why?"

The response surprised both of them, but David answered, "We know how it is."

Ezekiel looked at them again, appearing to study them before turning back to the water again. "I see. Are there any other questions?"

"Not really, but..."

"Then you two should be going. Have a nice night." With that, Ezekiel began to walk away from them. David and Dead watched him go and David spoke, "He really isn't into conversations, is he?"

Dead was quiet for a moment and then added, "He's hiding something. I'm not such what, but I have a hunch."

David joked, "You have a hunch? Will the wonders never cease?"

Suddenly, their watches began to beep in alarm, signally an emergency. The two of them ran back to the command center with Ezekiel right behind them. By the time they got there, everyone had already gathered. Aki sat in her usual seat and brought up the emergency.

"Space Knights, a group of Radham warships are approaching. We are to move out immediately. Dead End, you will be paired up with Michael in the new Delta ship."

"Yes, Chief," they said in unison.

"Everyone move out."

"Roger."

Everyone got into their separate ships and launched out into space. While they approached the Radham fleet, Aki voice came over the communicator, "The enemy is arranged into three separate fleets. What you are to do is to get them gather into one area. Once done, Yumi, you are to use the Reactor Voltekka to eliminate them, understood?"

"Yes Chief."

"Dead, I want you to lead the attack. Fly through the enemy and keep them occupied for the others to hit them from behind."

"Roger."

"Alright, move out!"

"Roger!"

The four Space Knights left their stations and headed for the exit chamber. At the same time, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta separated and flew out in formation. The four knights were gathered and they took out there Tekka-sets and cried out in unison.

"Tek-Setta!!!!!!!"

The transformations proceed and they flew to their respective ships. When they reached them, their transformations were complete.

"Tekkaman Hiver!"

"Tekkaman Vesna!"

"Tekkaman Sommer!"

"Tekkaman Dead!"

The battle began instantly and Dead flew straight ahead on Delta, shooting at the Radham as they plowed through. Dead leapt off and began his assault, massacring any of the Radham that came at him. While he did that, the Radham followed in attack and the Tekkamen Hiver, Vesna, and Sommer followed them, shooting them off from the back. Eventually, the other two fleets began to move in toward them and were getting closer.

Natasha yelled, "Yumi, get ready!"

"Right."

Just before they could compact, another fleet appeared and attacked, taking the Space Knights by surprise. To make it worse, this fleet launched their own Tekkamen to fight. The battle became heated and Dead found himself surrounded by Radham. Even with his power, he was being overwhelmed along with the others. Aki sat up in her seat. Looks like they need help. Running into the docking bay, Pegasus 2 came out of the docking bay.

"Pegasus! Tek-Setta!!!!!"

"Affirmative."

The doors of the robot opened and Aki jumped inside as they closed. Pegasus 2 was launched out and another pair of doors opened and Aki jumped out, now in her own Tekka form. Unlocking her lance, she flew into the battle and fought with the Radham. But while she did, Dead was still surrounded and fighting on his own. Delta was damaged so he couldn't help him. Ezekiel couldn't use the ship because it overheated and he had to wait for the engines to cool down. While that happened, he watched Dead fight off the Radham with great power, but he didn't know how long he would last. The other knights were too far away to reach him in time and he couldn't wait on Delta.

I...I guess I have no choice.
