Disclaimer: I do not own Tekkaman Blade or any of the characters therein. However, Ezekiel is of my design

Note: Sorry about that folks, but I made a mistake in my characters name. I was going for Michael, but I saw that it was a name used far too often so I used Ezekiel instead. I made a mistake in not changing it before loading so I'm sorry. The character's name is Ezekiel, not Michael. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Now on to the story…

Episode 3-

Dead End fought up to his limit. He never thought that he would get overwhelmed like this. Despite the fact that he was nearly as powerful as Blade, he still was being pushed back. Maybe I should use the Voltekka. But if I do, I'll use up the last of my energy. Looking at the Radham, he hoped that with any luck, he might be able to destroy enough to delay them and the others could get there. His sword transformed into a lance and the energy cells formed around them. Dark Lightning crackled as Dead End summoned his power.

"Voltekka!!!!!!!!"

A black beam of energy flew out and annihilated everything before it. It took out a good portion of the Radham, but then the Alien Tekkamen came at him. Damn, he thought. I wasted my energy on them. The Alien Tekkaman came at him at full speed and he prepared to fight them when one was suddenly slashed in half. Dead looked on and couldn't believe what he saw. It was another Tekkaman, colored in blue-gray and black, with white underneath. In his hand he held an extremely long sword. Dead watched as the Tekkaman leapt into the fray and battled with the Alien Tekkaman. The new Tekkaman easily sliced the other Tekkaman with ease and extreme power. His sword showed no mercy as they were cut down one by one. The other Space Knights reached Dead, but were shocked to find another Tekkaman assisting him.

"Who is that?" Natasha asked.

Dead floated there, "I don't know. He just came out of nowhere."

Aki flew in, "We can figure it out later. Right now, he's centering the enemy and we can use that to our advantage. Dead, remain here with Yumi. The rest of us will support the unknown Tekkaman. Let's go!"

They proceeded as planned and they saw how the stranger fought. "Whoa! He's as fast as Blade."

That was true as the stranger was quickly ripping through the Radham. The Radham where starting to retreat from him and he continued to slaughter them. But in running from him, they became disorganized and ran into each other.

"Go for it, Yumi!" Natasha shouted

Yumi brought her hands up crossed and energy flared out.

"Reactor Voltekka!!!!!"

The beam flew out and split up into multiple beams, each hitting an enemy and ricocheting to the next. But a part of the fleet managed to get through it and continue on it way.

Aki yelled, "Yumi, get them before they escape!"

"I'm trying, but they're moving around too much!"

Suddenly, the unknown Tekkaman flew past the Reactor and the Radham that were escaping. He extended his sword and energy cells formed around his arm and the sword. A massive energy blast flew out, a Voltekka. With it, he disintegrated the retreating Radham. The ones that got by it were finished off by Yumi's Reactor Voltekka. All of the Radham were completely destroyed.

David sighed, "Uggghh. Finally."

Natasha also took a deep breath, "You said it." Turning their attention to the new Tekkaman, David asked, "Who are you?"

The stranger said nothing for a while and then spoke softly, "Zero."

Suddenly, he burst into a bright flash of light and the others had to cover their eyes. When the light faded, Zero was gone. Aki took this in and ordered, "We'll have to find out about him later. Right now, we should return to base."

The Knights regrouped and flew back. As they did, inside a hidden section of Delta, Ezekiel is seen clothing himself in another flight uniform and whispered to himself.

"That was close. And I managed to stay within the time limit this time."

After he gotten back into his cockpit, outside Dead looked down at his pilot and thought, Hmm. A new pilot from Prague and a mysterious Tekkaman appears. I guess my hunch was right.

Note: Again, I'm sorry for making this chapter short, but I'll make it up to you in later chapters.
