Chap.4

"Are you saying there are more?"

Zechs answered, "Possibly. At least a small number. What we need to do is confirm how many there are and their objectives."

"Do you think they could be in league with the Space Knights?"

"That's an option, but highly unlikely. The Space Knights have no gain in attacking OZ. They're more focused on the Radham. These tekkamen have been attacking us and the Radham." However, if they were Space Knights, then we may have a more complicated situation.

Medical Hospital

Vice Foreign Minister Dorlian lay in bed, still unconscious from his ordeal. Beside him, his wife and Relena sat beside him.

"Will...will he be alright?" Relena asked

"The doctor says he'll be fine. He just needs his rest."

Just then, the doctor came in, "Mrs. Dorlian, I need to talk to you about your husbands condition."

"Is it serious?"

"Not at all. But there is something you and I should discuss in private."

Mrs. Dorlian nodded, "Relena, could you leave us for a moment?"

Relena was a little confused, but nodded, "Okay, mom."

Relena left the room and next to the window in the reception room. Her mind began to drift back to the entire accident as well as the flash of light she saw and the mysterious boy she encountered. Was he the one that caused that light? But the only thing I know that does that is...Is he a tekkaman? Relena snapped out of her daze and a plan formed.

Next day...

Space Knight C.C.

Yumi found herself walking to the lobby entrance of the command center. The glass tinted doors opened and revealed her visitor, Relena Dorlian.

"Hello Relena. Welcome to the Space Knight Command center. My name is Yumi Francious."

She held out her hand to which Relena took it, "Hello Yumi."

"So, let's start the grand tour."

Yumi showed Relena around the command center. During the tour, Yumi talked about the work of the Space Knights, the tekkamen, and the threat of the Radham.

"You guys do a lot."

"Well, maybe not that much. Usually, the Radham don't attack as much as they did years ago."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, well before they pretty much had the entire Earth run over. We would have become their slaves if not for Tekkaman Blade."

"Tekkaman Blade? I think I've heard of him."

Yumi's eyes lit up, "Of course. He's the legendary white tekkaman that saved the Earth and the colonies. He, along with the Space Knights at the time managed to drive the Radham away. It was him that recreated the Space Knights as well."

"Interesting. Will I be able to meet him?"

Yumi shrugged, "Probably not. He tends to keep to himself mostly so seeing him is rare. Almost like that Heero guy."

"Heero?"

"Oh, he's one of our newest recruits. Heero Yuy."

"Is he a tekkaman?"

"Yes. Well, he's more of a primary body. He hasn't gone through the complete transformation."

"I see. And he's new here."

"Yeah. Him along with four others. They all arrived three days ago."

Three days? The same time as the accident.

"Hey, there he is. Hey Heero!"

Heero continued his work, looking only briefly to the side. However he stopped on seeing Relena.

"Heero. This is Relena Dorlian."

Heero stood up and faced her. His cold eyes revealed no emotion, but she held her ground.

"Nice to meet you, Heero."

"Ms. Relena."

Heero then moved away and left the two alone. Yumi watched him leave and then turned back to Relena.

"I hope you don't mind. He's like that. As though he had some big secret or something."

Relena slightly nodded, "Or something."

Elsewhere, a group of Ares and Leo Sol-Tekkas were traveling across a deserted plain. Ahead of them, more Sol-Tekka was already congregated. Each of the Sol-Tekkas had a Special's insignia on it.

"What is it?"

"Sir, it's a Radham tekkapod."

The leader nearly burst, "A tekkapod? There are many of those since the war."

"We were lucky sir. This one was found through one of our surveillance patrols."

"Let's get it out of here as quickly as possibly."

The suits dove in the crater that was in the ground. When they came back up, each was holding on to a section of the Radham spore pods. But as they lifted the alien weapon, three of the Sol-Tekkas were shot down.

"What the...? Enemy attack!"

Beams of light shot out from a distance away and destroyed two more of the Sol-Tekka suits. The rest managed to fly in on their attacker.

"That's a tekkaman!"

Indeed it was a somewhat bulky looking tekkaman. It was colored in a fiery orange color. But what made it stand out was it weapon. Instead of the normal lancer weapon, it was armed with a strange looking gatling gun. The tekkaman boosted in the air and began firing beams of energy, each one hitting and destroying a Sol-Tekka at a rapid pace. As the Sol-Tekka unit scrambled, the leader called for re-enforcements.

"We need backup! Fighting an unknown tek----"

The leader's suit was completely blown up and his troops followed shortly. The unknown Tekkaman then aimed at the Radham space pods and several Voltekka pods opened up.

"Voltekka!"

Several hundred swarms of energy flew out and shredded the pods, followed by a massive explosion. The tekkaman looked at the damage it had caused and began to ignite its boosters. But above him, a drop-ship appeared and several more Sol-Tekkas appeared.

"Now that you've seen me, I can't let you survive. My mission was to destroy just the Radham pods, but I'll destroy you as well."

With that, the tekkaman flew into battle; a battle accompanied by many laid waste by the gundam tekkaman Heavyarms.

"I hope you enjoyed the tour, Ms. Relena."

"Yes, I did. Thank you Yumi."

"Sure, don't mention it." The two began to walk toward the door, when Heero suddenly came out of an adjourning door and into them.

"Wow." Yumi exclaimed, "No one ever sees you at all and now this is the second time. Must be my lucky day, eh Heero?"

Heero didn't reply and the two women walked past him. As they did, Yumi didn't notice the shocked expression on Relena's face. Yumi managed to look up just as Relena masked it. They stopped in front of Relena's pink limousine.

"Well, you have a safe trip home, okay?"

"Okay. It was nice to meet you, Yumi."

"Same here. See ya."

Relena stepped into the car and it drove away. However, Relena was still a little shaken. All because of a few whispered words Heero said as they passed by him in the hallway.

"I'll destroy you."
