radium and viola are soon chosen to be test pilots for a new vehicle being developed by bahram called the orbital frame. the prototype, dubbed idolo, is revealed that it is far superior to any existing vehicle in possession of earth and mars. the speed, agility, and power far exceeds the strongest lev units. however, all of this is thanks to the discovery of the powerful material called metatron. metatron was used to create most of idolo, therefore giving idolo enhanced abilities thanks to the power of metatron. radium was the one who piloted idolo most often, though he was at first overwhelmed by idolo's immense power output. after much practice, radium is able to efficiently pilot idolo. however, it seemed that idolo had developed a "will" of its own, and chose radium to be its runner (this becomes apparent when viola tries to pilot idolo; idolo refuses all of viola's commands). it becomes known that piloting idolo is having an adverse effect on radium's mind, changing him into a mindless killer while he's running idolo. during a demonstration for mars' military leaders, radium exhibits the full power of idolo, revealing the homing laser, an attack that fires hundreds of thin lasers that home in on their targets, and the extremely destructive burst shot in addition to showing exceptional prowess when using the normal shot and idolo's arm blade. radium finds a group of earth spies and captures one and kills the other. a group of earth spies infiltrates the test facility and they kidnap dr. links and dolores. radium follows their shuttle to deimos station with idolo with the intent of rescuing dolores and dr. links. after slicing all of the space force levs in two, radium finds dr. links and dolores, but their kidnapper offers dr. links a deal to work with them and continue her research, but she refuses. while trying to leave, the space force spy tries to shoot dr. links, but dolores pushes her away and is shot instead.
