The Blue Earth! The Deadly Desertification Plan - Page Seven

Tsuyoshi's Communication Device goes off.  It's the EAGLE call signal.  They decide to hurry back.  Suddenly they spot a Zolder on the road, stumbling, ahead of them.  As Tsuyoshi stops, the Zolder falls forward and reveals the arrow in his back.  Tsuyoshi and Peggy quickly get off the Machine and hurry over to the face down Zolder.  As they roll him onto his side, the Zolder tries to speak to them.  He tells them, three...kilometers it falls....and...eight...  Tsuyoshi is confused as to what the Zolder is trying to tell him.  The Zolder tells him, rocket...the stars...desert!  The Zolder dies.  Tsuyoshi notices the EAGLE tag on the Zolder and Tsuyoshi realizes it's EAGLE secret operative, 002.  Peggy notes he was a member of our former branch.   Suddenly Peggy and Tsuyoshi are surrounded by several Zolders and they fight them.  Above them is Samurai Mask with the Sand Beam and he calls out wait.  Tsuyoshi and Peggy stop fighting. 

They are taken prisoner and taken to Black Cross Army Base.  Along the hall, Tsuyoshi glances into a small window and sees Professor Kudo working.  Peggy and Tsuyoshi are thrown into a cell.  Samurai Mask stands in front of the cell and tells them, shed your tears, if you wish.  For if you do, your compatriots may come to your aid!  Samurai Mask laughs and walks away.  Tsuyoshi  realizes that Samurai Mask means to gather them all and then use the Sand Beam.  Peggy notes they have been caught in a trap.  Tsuyoshi repeats the words EAGLE secret operative 002 told them.  Peggy thinks that operative meant that Black Cross Army plans to send the Sand Beam to satellite.  Tsuyoshi agrees - they intend to turn Earth into a desert.  They hear a small sound and turn around and see Koichi is in the cell with them, crying.
