    just keep pumping fluid through and it will come back.
    Do you have a syringe to force fluid back from the caliper?
    You could also try slackening the banjo at the MC to release air.

    Blade rear brakes aren't great but when bleed properly it will be a vast improvement over standard.

    It sounds like you still have air in the system somewhere.

    Cheers

    If you can, take it of the calliper, then place a bit of wood or something between the pistons, then hold it above the master cylinder, and bleed again, as it's above the cylinder air should escape easier.
