This is a recap of the series up to this point, told from Star's point-of-view. An unidentifiable, hooded figure picks up an audio-computer chip from the deserted area near the demolished Space Knight Command Center. When the hooded figure opens the chip's casing, the voice of Commander Jamison narrates the story of ""The efforts of the Space Knights on behalf of the planet Earth, including those of Ness Carter, better known as the Teknoman, Blade.""
In a Middle Eastern village, a young boy named Rashid mistakes Ringo (in his Tekno-suit) for the mythical Red Savior. According to legend, the Red Savior will protect the residents from the alien invaders. When Axe and the other evil Teknoman show up, Ringo's best just isn't enough.
Just as the batteries of the ""Green Earth"" (The SPACE KNIGHTS' surface vehicle) are in need of recharging, the group finds a town that has a generator. Fearing that use of the generator will result in discovery by the Venomoids, the townspeople refuse to help the Space Knights. In spite of the town's precautions, the Venomoids attack.
Ringo goes home and discovers that his mother and father are casualties of the war with the aliens. He also finds out that his hometown has been devastated by a gang of roving outlaws known as the Hyenas, who prove to be no match for the Space Knights. Ringo donates is family estate as a playground for the local school children. As they continue on their journey, Blade and the other Space Knights decide the only way to reach Darkon's moon base is to sucker Axe into a trap and to take his Tekno-crystal. They find a town which is brightly lit, a sure invitation for a Spidercrab attack. It turns out that the town's inhabitants are members of a Special Forces Mortar Squad who are trying to lure the aliens into a trap, which seems to fit in perfectly with the plans of the Space Knights. Axe takes the bait and, along with a squadron of Spidercrabs, attacks the town.
The ""Green Earth"" comes upon a mysterious castle where they are greeted by a robot named Torg, the servant and companion of Gloria, the mistress of the castle. In complete denial about the alien invasion, Gloria claims to be awaiting the return of her grandfather, who left the castle six months earlier. Ringo, however, discovers that Gloria's grandfather passed away a year before the invasion, which means that Gloria is living in a fantasy world, out of touch with reality. When the aliens attack the castle, the Space Knights try to convince Gloria to leave with them, but she insists on remaining in the crumbling castle.
After Blade and Ringo rescue a woman, Rachel, from an alien attack, she invites the Space Knights to spend some time at her farm. There they discover that the man living with her is none other than Balzac, General Galt's spy, for whom they bear little affection. But Balzac, it turns out, is a changed man.
Blade, knowing that he walking into a trap, answers Axe's telepathic Tekno-summons and goes to meet him in combat. The other Space Knights are prevented from joining Blade in his fight with Axe, and watch helplessly as Blade fights what appears to be a losing battle.
Blade is fighting Axe, who used to be Grand Goddard (Ness&Cain's karate instructor and one of the crewmen aboard the ""Argos"") before being transformed into a mutant Teknoman. Axe encases both of them in a web of impenetrable thorns, where he intends to fight Blade to the end.
Near Iceland, Balzac and Ringo have to cut through the ice and go underwater in order to retrieve a micro-chip needed by Commander Jamison at the new Command Center in Alaska. When they're attacked by aliens, Blade is about to go and help them when SGT. O'Rourke orders him not to! O'Rourke then explains that, according to Jamison's current research, Blade's body cells are disintegrating due to the many Tekno-transformations he's undergone. The next transformation could be his last.
Blade, Ringo and Star join the rest of the Space Knights at the new Command Center, where Blade's condition continues to worsen. Blade suggests that they harness the power of one of the Venomoid spore plants to the Teknobot's Interlock Chamber, in order to force his evolution into a ""super"" Teknoman. He has only a fifty-fifty chance of surviving the process, during which he will be immobilized for three hours. One hour after the process has begun, Lance attacks the Command Center which, without Blade's protection, seems doomed to destruction.
As Blade undergoes the evolutionary process that will transform into a ""Super"" Teknoman, Lance, in an effort to replace Saber as Darkon's favorite, launches an attack on the Space Knight's Alaskan Command Center.
Due to the psychological trauma inflicted by Blade's transformation into Teknoman-Plus, he doesn't remember that his friends know him by his Tekno-name (Blade). He insists on being called by the only name he remembers -- NESS. Meanwhile, the alien spore plants growing all over the planet are about to mature into Tekno-pods, capable of transforming all the humans on Earth into mutant Teknomen, slaves of the Venomoid Warlord, DARKON.
Because he has assumed his Teknoman mode, Blade's memory loss has worsened and he momentarily forgets that he has the ability to transform into the Teknoman-Plus mode. So when he confronts Saber (in his ""normal"" Tekno-mode) Blade is no match for his twin.
Blade and the other Space Knights join forces with the late Captain O'Rourkes commando squad in an effort to regain access to one of the Space-Ring's launching ports. One member of the squad is Angela, O'Rourke's widow. Sword, meanwhile, is destroying the ports before the Earth force can get to them.
Releasing Saber from his prison, Darkon imbues him with the same super-evolved Tekno-powers that Blade now possesses as Teknoman-Plus. Though Saber knows that the physical stress caused by the acquisition of these new powers may lead to his own destruction, he gladly accepts them as the edge he needs to destroy his twin brother.
On board the ""Blue Earth,"" Ringo and Balzac run into Sword (a.k.a. Katherine), who attempts to destroy them in order to protect her master, Darkon. In the ensuing battle, Balzac and Ringo are badly injured and Sword is destroyed.
You'll have to tune into Teknoman to find out what happens when Blade encounters Saber. This is their ""Final Battle""!!!
