"Chief. Ezekiel has disappeared."
Goliate turned to her, "We know. He just took Delta and left."
Yumi gave a shocked expression, "Aren't we going to go after him?"
"We've already tried. But he managed to jam the elevators. It will take some time to set up to go after him."
Yumi looked down and remembered the disk, "Oh, Chief. He left this behind."
The Chief took the disk from her hand an inserted it. On the screen came Ezekiel's face. It was etched with guilt and sorrow.
"By the time you see this, I should be nearing the portal. I'm sorry everyone. Especially you, Chief for disobeying your order. But this is something I must do. It is the only way for me to repent for my sins. I understand the reasons not to do this, so do not follow me. I will do this alone. When this is over, several things will happen. One, I will succeed and manage to make it back. If that happens, no doubt I will be detained for my actions. But if that is the case, then I will accept it. Two, I succeed, but will be trapped. I'm not sure what will happen then, but I'll try to return if possible. And three, I will fail. If that happens, then they will either destroy me or try to change me into a Radham. I say try because I will not allow that to happen again. I will fight to the end. Thank you, Space Knights. Thanks for giving me something to fight for. Sayonara."
The recording ended and the Knights watched in silence. Aki spoke into the intercom.
"Get those repairs moving now."
Focusing her attention on the rest of the Knights, "We should move as soon as possible."
At that point, D-Boy appeared out of the shadows, "He shouldn't do this alone."
Outer Space. A lone spaceship has reached Saturn's orbit. Inside, Ezekiel contemplates his mission. The co-ordinates lead just parallel of Neptune's orbit. It makes since, seeing as how most of Earth's defense are limited to Saturn. He veered the ship away from the rings and headed out. As he continues, he begins to remember his time as a Space Knight. Yumi, whose cheerful additude brought a smile to his face even now, David, who always tried to get him to relax, Hayato, whose antics and chase after Yumi he found somewhat amusing, Goliate and Anita, two people he could always be quiet around him without it being uncomfortable. Dead, who seemed to understand his interwoven attitude, even D-Boy and the Chief, who were probably as close parents as he's ever known. And then there's Natasha...I'm sorry Natasha. Perhaps this will be better for both of us. You don't need a guy like me to trouble you. With this in mind, Ezekiel continues his course.
On the Space Knight Command center, the launch elevators were finally repaired and the Blue Earth launched into space. As they flew, there was an air of tension above everyone. This will be their most dangerous mission ever. But they had to try to save their comrade, their friend from destroying himself.
Meanwhile, Ezekiel has reached the co-ordinates. Before him was a dark void, blacker than the space around it. Around it, surges of energy swirled around it. Just then a swarm of Radham emerged. Luckily, they were heading in an opposite direction so he wasn't detected. But before he could go though the portal, one of them looked in his direction. In no time at all, they were all attacking him. But Ezekiel held his course. No sense in wasting time with them. Dodging the energy blasts that flew at him, Delta finally reached the portal and entered. In a flash, Ezekiel found himself in a completely different scene. He was still in space, but now a massive planetoid loomed before him. This is a lot bigger than I thought. But that won't change things. The planetoid seemed to light up and suddenly, hordes of Radham and Radham tekkaman attacked him. He fired Delta's guns, shooting and hitting random targets. As the ship loomed closer, the damage it sustained began to grow. Ezekiel saw that the ship won't last long.
"Sorry to do this to you, Delta. Thanks for carrying me this far."
He began to glow as the ship fell apart, "Tek-setta!!!!!"
Ezekiel blasted out of Delta just as it exploded. The light flew right to the surface of the planetoid and reformed into....
"Tekkaman Zero!"
Zero flew over the surface of the planetoid, slashing whatever Radham that came to him. He finally found what he was looking for; a bottomless looking pit. Quickly he swooped in, diving into the black void. As he flew, he saw the Tekkapods all around him, creating more alien Tekkaman. Zero felt a slight pity for them. They had no choice. They were just another world dominated by the Radham. Zero then focused. The least he could do for them was free them from their nightmare. He continued to fly downward and then he found what he was looking for. A pulsating glowing ball was before him, surrounded by all sorts of metal attachments. Zero could feel the heat coming from it
This is it. The core.
As Zero moved forward, a massive pod suddenly fell before him. Two pairs of eyes glowed within and a large form suddenly burst out. Zero watched as the form opened up, flapping out a massive cape and holding a long lancer. Zero was unsurprised by this. He expected this. A Tekka-Warlord.
"You.....Zero."
"Yes, I am Zero"
"You...will...die."
"Yes." Zero sets his sword before him. "And you will come with me."
