Episode synopsis
When the Space Knights are given shore leave, Tina, Maggie and Star go to the shopping mall. When they see Blade there, they call out to him but he doesn't respond to their greeting. Later on, they learn Blade wasn't at the mall. In fact he's been with Mac at the Command Center all day. The women are amazed, saying, "This guy could have been Blade's twin!" Blade immediately knows what this means -- his twin brother Saber, one of Darkon's most lethal warriors, has come looking for him. Shortly thereafter, the twins meet and Saber mocks Blade for being weak, for refusing to acknowledge the dark side of his Tekno-nature and rejecting the gift of unlimited power Darkon has offered them. The twin brothers fight, and Saber gains the upper hand just as Blade's thirty minute time limit is about to expire.
About Teknoman
Earth's defense forces are engaged in a losing battle with the evil alien race called the venomoids led by Darkon. During this time frame a ship plummets towards Earth and explodes, and out walks a stranger named Blade, unscathed, but suffering from amnesia. In his possession is a Tekno crystal, which he can use to transform himself into Teknoman, an unstoppable fighting machine. As the war turns in their favour, they learn that Darkon is breeding Teknomen from humans one of which looks exactly like Blade. Where did these humans come from and why is Blade able to transform into a Teknoman?
