Hikaru does not seem to not be as energetic lately.... BROTHER (Masaru) She's been like that ever since she came back from the field trip to the Tokyo Tower. BROTHER (Kakeru) [gasp] Did something happen at Tokyo Tower!? BROTHER (Masaru) What do you think happened!? P.5 [BROTHERS: Wooooooo] BROTHER (Kakeru) Maybe she was hit by a bunch of tourists at the souvenir shop! Maybe some creep made a pass at her because she's so cute!! BROTHER (Masaru) We will not forgive any man that does something dishonorable to our cute little Hikaru!!! BROTHER (Kakeru) Of course! Anyone who wants to have a relationship with Hikaru must defeat us three brothers, and then start by exchanging diaries! {A note about this exchanging diaries business: it's a cute little form of a relationship, like notewriting... but you share one notebook instead of writing multiple notes. It's done between close friends or in a child's relationship. Usually disappears around high school age.} [BROTHERS: Oh yeah!] P.6 HIKARU Satoru-niisama... {Niisama: polite way of addressing an older brother. i.e. like how Kotori in X addresses Fuuma as "Oniichan", but more formal.} SATORU You can't tell me why you're feeling down lately? Well. Then I won't ask you. HIKARU I'm sorry... Satoru-niisama.... P.7 SATORU A man should make up his own mind. If that's what you decided to do, make sure you stick with your decision to the end. HIKARU ..yes. [MEW?!] BROTHER (Masaru) You're not fair, Satoru-niisan! I'm worried, too. HIKARU Masaru-niisama. [BROTHER (Kakeru): Aahhhh!!] P.8 BROTHER (Kakeru) I'm also worried about cute little Hikaru!! [If times are hard on you, you can cry in my arms.] HIKARU Kakeru-niisama. ... thank you, my brothers. P.9 [Sign: Ryuuzaki residence] MOTHER What is wrong, Umi-chan? Is your breakfast all right? Did I do something wrong? UMI Uh, no, Mama. It's delicious. P.10 FATHER Yes, what is wrong lately, Umi? You seem to lack energy lately... And I haven't had your homemade cakes in a while. UMI Um... it's nothing. I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry. MOTHER If there is anything wrong, maybe you should go visit the doctor's office sometime. UMI I'm really okay, Papa, Mama. I'm sorry I made you worry. FATHER Are you lovesick by any chance? <"lovesick" hits Umi> UMI N... NO!! FATHER It's nice to be in love, Umi. P.11 FATHER Because I fell in love, I was able to marry such a wonderful person like your mother. MOTHER Oh, Papa. UMI Man, they're showing off at such an early hour... acting like they are still newlyweds... I'm not worried about such romantic things.... P.12 [sign: Hououji residence] FUU I am on my way. SISTER (Kuu) Wait, Fuu-san. {Dude, she's wearing the CLAMP Gakuen uniform :) } FUU Kuu-oneesama. {Oneesama: female equivalent of oniisama.} KUU I'll walk with you for a bit. P.13 KUU Father and Mother are worried because you are not looking well lately. FUU ...I'm sorry.... KUU Don't apologize. Since you always strive to make sure Father and Mother are not worried about you, something serious must have happened. Fuu-san. Do you have someone that you can talk to about your worries? It is tough not having someone who understands what you are worried about. P.14 KUU But if you are not alone... if you have someone to share your worries with, and to help you find the solution to those worries... then you have no problems. FUU ..yes. KUU Did you tell Mother this morning that you would be back late tonight because you were meeting those people? FUU Yes, I am planning to meet them at the Tokyo Tower today after school. KUU Tokyo Tower? The Hiyoko donuts they sell at Tokyo Tower are delicious. {Hiyoko: chick. The Hiyoko Manjuu is a sweet little cake in the shape of a chick with a sweet bean filling. It's cute, and it's yummy. :) } P.15 FUU Then I will buy some for you, Oneesama, as a souvenir. [KUU: lanla lanla o/~] Since Tokyo Tower is such a memorable place for us.... P.16 HIKARU Princess Emeraude... WA! UMI Don't look like you're going to burst into tears. That would make me want to cry, too. HIKARU Umi-chan. Fuu-chan. I dream about Cephiro. P.17 HIKARU Cephiro, the world we were summoned to from here, Tokyo Tower... The volcano, the sea, the floating mountain... The strange world that was supported by Princess Emeraude, the Pillar... The Battle that happened there... P.18 HIKARU Princess Emeraude. The Pillar of the world called Cephiro. The one that held Cephiro's peace all by herself, using the power of her Will. P.19 HIKARU And I.... with these hands... UMI [gasp] Stop, Hikaru! FUU It seems as though the spells we learned in Cephiro cannot be used here in Tokyo. I cannot heal you, so please take care of yourself. HIKARU Sorry... But it was all because I thought I was the hero and became a Magic Knight.... P.20 HIKARU And I didn't even know why Zagato caused such a battle... I didn't know what Princess Emeraude's true Heart believed in... UMI It was the same with me. At first, I just wanted to get back to Tokyo... But as I learned Magic, and got the weapons and guard that evolved, and eventually revived the Mashin... I thought that what I was doing was something that Princess Emeraude and everyone in Cephiro would be happy about. FUU Although the world was like a RPG, It was Real. Things were not simply "good" or "evil" like in a game.... a tragic Battle. P.21 FUU We all fought for our own Wishes, and that caused such a tragic ending.... UMI After that, I couldn't play RPG's. I started feeling that every enemy in a game had some circumstance that made it be my enemy. Although I believe that I'm the Hero as a player, I start thinking that I'm the Villain in the enemy's eyes. HIKARU I want to go to Cephiro again. P.22-23 HIKARU We really didn't accomplish anything in the end. ..I want to go to Cephiro again, and I want to do something for the country that Princess Emeraude guarded so preciously as the Pillar... P.24 UMI Yes. FUU I agree. P.25 HIKARU This light! FUU It's the same light... UMI ..as the light that shone when we were summoned to Cephiro! P.26 UMI Where....!? P.27 UMI Kya! Thunder!? FUU The sky is completely black! HIKARU, UMI, FUU Kyyyaaaaaaaa!! P.28-29 HIKARU (?? uncertain speaker) WHERE ARE WE!? P.30 UMI We're gonna fall into the sea! FUU That's not the ocean! [UMI: EH!?] The ground just looks like waves! UMI If we keep falling, we're going to fall onto the ground that looks like the ocean! HIKARU Fyula!? You're Fyula! P.31 UMI Fyula! You saved us! [Thank you!] FUU That means.... We're in Cephiro!? UMI No--! What happened to the sea, the floating mountain, the volcano? HIKARU Are you taking us somewhere? P.32 HIKARU (? uncertain speaker) A castle...? P.33 HIKARU (? uncertain speaker) Presea!! P.34 HIKARU Presea! PRESEA Hikaru. Umi. Fuu. P.35 PRESEA I heard from Guru Clef. ... it must have been a hard battle for you. As a Pharle, I knew of the Legend of the Magic Knights that are summoned from another world... but I didn't know such a terrible secret was behind it... ...I'm sorry. The weapons that I created caused you much grief. P.36 PRESEA Well, come along. The Guru and the Prince await. UMI I know who the Guru is, but.... PRINCE? PRESEA Guru. Prince. I have brought Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu. HIKARU Clef... P.37 CLEF Girls from another world.... I am the one that led you to that harsh battle without telling you anything. ...I apologize. UMI No...... You knew Princess Emeraude much better than any of us who came from another world. P.38 UMI It must have been really hard for you, too. CLEF Umi... HIKARU We couldn't do anything for either Cephiro or for Princess Emeraude. FERIO That's where you are mistaken. FUU That voice.... P.39 FUU Ferio-san.... P.40 FERIO The Magic Knights granted my elder sister's Wish. HIKARU Elder... sister....? FERIO Princess Emeraude was my one and only sister. UMI Then when Presea said "prince"... she meant you? FERIO Although I was the prince, I concentrated more on practicing my swordsmanship and napping, so I was almost never here in the castle. FUU So that is why you were aware of the Legend of the Magic Knights, which only those close to Princess Emeraude knew about. P.41 FERIO I'm sorry I didn't tell you... I only see the title of Prince as a burden. So I had no intentions of telling anyone. FUU ...then I.... ..your sister..... FERIO Right before the Pillar disappeared, I heard Sister's Voice. She seemed Happy that she was able to pray for the man she loved instead of praying as a Pillar, even if that was the last moment of her life. P.42 CLEF I also heard that voice. She said to tell the Magic Knights "I'm sorry" and "Thank you". HIKARU .... thank... you..... P.43 HIKARU Clef, what happened to Cephiro? The land looks completely different from when we last came here. CLEF It is because we have lost the Pillar. Now that the Pillar, who kept this world Stable with her will, is gone, Cephiro has become a land of Confusion. UMI Because the Cephiro that we last visited was created by Princess Emeraude, it crumbled when the Princess passed away. CLEF ...I, along with other people of exceptionally strong Willpower, such as sorcerers and Bals, created this castle as a sanctuary for the people of Cephiro. FUU Then this castle is made from Willpower? P.44 CLEF But it will not last long. If we do not find a new pillar as soon as possible, Cephiro will Disappear. And armies from other countries are drawing near. UMI (? uncertain speaker) Other countries? CLEF That. HIKARU (? uncertain speaker) What!? P.45 HIKARU, UMI, FUU What is that....? P.46 The Countries that are located Outside of Cephiro... Autozam. Chizeta. and Fahren. P.47 UMI There were countries other than Cephiro. FUU When we were last summoned, the sky was completely closed, and even when we broke the barrier, all there was was thunder and darkness. UMI And we didn't have the luxury of looking around. CLEF Before, Princess Emeraude protected Cephiro from outside attack as the Pillar. Anyone who tried to enter Cephiro with malicious intent was barred by an invisible wall and could not enter. P.48 CLEF That shows how absolute the Princess's Willpower was. FUU Princess Emeraude was not only keeping the wars inside Cephiro down, but was also protecting Cephiro from outside intruders. CLEF However, after the death of Princess Emeraude, the Roads from other countries to Cephiro opened. P.49 HIKARU What is this that looks like a band of light....? P.50 CLEF These are the Roads. Those coming from another country can enter Cephiro freely by following this Road. UMI Wait! Are the roads permanent!? CLEF They disappear only when the one that created the Road in each respective country erases it. HIKARU What are these other countries looking for in Cephiro? I mean, now that the Pillar is gone, Cephiro is about ready to crumble. What's the point in attacking a place that's about ready to crumble? P.51 CLEF Their objective is the Pillar of Cephiro itself. People from Cephiro are not the only ones that can become the Pillar. HIKARU What!? P.52 CLEF The only requirement to become the Pillar of Cephiro is that you must have a stronger Heart than anyone else. FUU That means that if one of the people from these countries that are attacking becomes the Pillar...! UMI ... Cephiro is a world which is created by the will of the Pillar... FERIO There would be no need to fight. Cephiro would belong to the Pillar. P.53 CLEF These people have enough Power to create Roads to Cephiro from their respective countries. It is possible that they are strong enough to become the Pillar. .. we must find a new Pillar, that will lead Cephiro back to peace, as soon as possible, while protecting Cephiro from invaders. HIKARU ... Pillar..... P.54 CLEF Hikaru, Umi, Fuu. Right now, Cephiro does not have a Pillar. However, only the Pillar can use the Summoning Spell that summons people from other worlds. I do not know who summoned you. And now, Cephiro is about to turn into a battlefield. However, you have already finished a hard battle as Magic Knights and granted the Princess's wish. There is no need for you, people from another world, to become involved in Cephiro's current war. HIKARU, UMI, FUU ... Clef.... P.55 CLEF I have no idea as to who summoned you. But it means that there is someone who has a Heart strong enough to summon someone from Another World just like a Pillar... here in Cephiro. As we push the enemies back, we will find the new Pillar. That is the only thing I can do for this country which Princess Emeraude risked her life to protect. P.56 CLEF ... I promise you that I will find the person that summoned you. So stay here in this castle with the other countryfolk...... HIKARU I will fight with you. CLEF Hikaru! P.57 HIKARU I will fight for Cephiro with you guys, Clef. CLEF You have nothing to do with the battle against our current enemy! You don't know who summoned you! You don't even know why you are here now! There is no reason for you to fight! HIKARU There is a reason... in my Heart. P.58 HIKARU I thought about it, and felt that I should be fighting with you, Clef. There are many reasons to fight. Everyone fights for their Wish. I... figured that out... painfully well last time I was summoned... P.59 HIKARU During the battle, Princess Emeraude tried to kill us Magic Knights with the part of her Heart that cared about Zagato -- the part that was saddened by his death. But, she still tried to save Cephiro with what Heart she had left as the Pillar. P.60 HIKARU I think that Princess Emeraude really cared about this country. That's why I think she was so worried and why she was so hard on herself... Princess Emeraude protected Cephiro with her kind heart. Clef taught me that it was a beautiful and peaceful country. But.... P.61 HIKARU I have not seen what Cephiro REALLY looks like. UMI .. I think that we matured a little bit in the last battle. Not only how to handle weapons and how to fight, but also our Hearts... FUU Our only motivation last time was to go back to Tokyo, but it is different now. Please let us help you save Cephiro. P.62 CLEF ...Hikaru. ...Umi. ...Fuu.... HIKARU But... I still want to think about... the Pillar. FERIO Think....? P.63 UMI Hikaru... FUU ... Hikaru-san.... HIKARU Presea. I would like you to lend us weapons. Weapons so we can fight to save Cephiro. P.64 P.65 P.66 UMI These swords are... HIKARU Ours... P.67 PRESEA Yes. Those are the weapons for Magic Knights... the ones that you have improved. Those are weapons that only you can use. P.68 CLEF <>! {magic, folklore. "Mahoudenshou".} P.69 P.70 HIKARU ...guards... UMI These aren't the guards we had on the last time we were here. FUU ... It differs from every previous evolutionary stage of our armor. P.71 CLEF ... you have no need now to let your guards evolve. What I just gave you are for fighters who have become Magic Knights. HIKARU .. Magic Knights.... CLEF Those guards will react to your Hearts. But it does not mean that they will evolve, like before. Those guards merely change their shapes when you need them to. UMI React to our Hearts.... CLEF You are also able to use Magic. Of course, you have retained the spells you learned earlier. However, as your hearts mature, you will be able to cast new spells. P.72 CLEF But... Hikaru, Umi, Fuu... Please use those guards, weapons, and magic first and foremost to protect yourselves. HIKARU Clef, Ferio, Presea.... Thank you. P.73 PRESEA [gasp] Hikaru! CLEF Umi!! FERIO Fuu!! P.74 SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH .. Magic Knights.... P.75 HIKARU Rayearth! UMI Selece! FUU Windam! SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH Magic Knights from another world. You have once again come to save Cephiro in its time of crisis. P.76 RAYEARTH Will you don us once again, and head forth to the field of battle? HIKARU .. I will fight. P.77 UMI I understand what it means this time. FUU I have decided for myself. HIKARU, UMI, FUU We want to fight for Cephiro!!! RAYEARTH We have existed... SELECE ..to protect Cephiro... WINDAM ..for many ages. P.78-79 SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH Magic Knights. We accept your hearts. Don us, and fight for Cephiro. P.80 P.81 P.82 HIKARU We're right above the castle! UMI When did we get here...? SELECE Where you were just now was a different dimension, where we sleep. It is a part of Cephiro, but also somewhere that is not Cephiro. FUU ... a different dimension. WINDAM We are always in the other dimension. If you need us, call our names at any time. RAYEARTH We will always appear before you. Always. HIKARU Okay! P.83 HIKARU What is that? FUU It looks like one of the Roads from another country that was there when Clef-san showed us the map of Cephiro. UMI So this is where the armies from the other countries come from... HIKARU It looks like a dream, but it's reality. UMI ...yeah, we might actually die this time. P.84 FUU I don't know what will happen to us in Tokyo if we die in Cephiro, another world... but I can say that we will not be able to go back unharmed. HIKARU Still, I will fight. UMI We are Magic Knights. Although I don't know what we are capable of doing... I will also fight. P.85 FUU I will also fight, so I will not regret it when I return to Tokyo. HIKARU Fuu-chan. Umi-chan. Let's give it our best. UMI, FUU Of course. P.86-87 MAN (Geo) [ooooooh] This is amazing! Eagle! P.88 EAGLE What is it, Geo? GEO Something weird appeared on the other side of the Road. EAGLE ..something weird....? GEO Here, I'll show you on the screen. P.89 EAGLE That is... GEO These three weird things are up ahead on the Road that you, the chief commander of Autozam's Cephiro Conquest Project, created. KID (Zazu) Waaaaa! Waaaaaaaa! WAaaaaaa! It's a huge robot! I wonder if it changes shape! GEO Oh, so you're interested in those things as a Mechanic, eh, Zazu? [nudge nudge nudge] ZAZU Hey Geo, you're interested in them as a Fighter, aren't ya? P.90 EAGLE Those are... Cephiro's Legendary Mashin.... GEO So that's the Mashin. So the Legendary Magic Knights are inside those things. EAGLE ..Zazu. Please get my FTO ready for takeoff. ZAZU What!? You're taking IT!? Why!? P.91 EAGLE I will go say hello to the Legendary Magic Knights. Geo Daaaaaaa! What is the Chief Commander doing, being the first person to jump into the line of fire!? EAGLE Because I am the one responsible for this mission, I am the one that has to formally greet the opposition... to the ones that supposedly saved Cephiro during its crisis... P.92 EAGLE ..The Legendary Magic Knights. UMI [gasp] What!? P.93 HIKARU A robot!? P.94 HIKARU It's coming!! P.95 P.96 EAGLE I am Eagle Vision of Autozam. HIKARU Autozam!? P.97 FUU The one that is currently attacking Cephiro!? P.98-99 EAGLE So you are the Legendary Magic Knights. P.100 EAGLE ... Allow me. HIKARU %Oh no! %He's... fast!! P.101 EAGLE, HIKARU %What!? P.102-103 P.104 UMI Who is that!? FUU .. another enemy? EAGLE ...Lantis. HIKARU %Eh....? P.105 UMI Wait! P.106 FUU What is wrong? UMI I can't. There's no way to go inside this road. HIKARU Ah. wait! UMI That horse... It's headed towards the castle. P.107 P.108 HIKARU Rayearth. UMI Selece. FUU Windam. SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH If you need us, call our names. We will appear before you. Always. P.109 UMI I see. We use this armor when we're not in the Mashin. HIKARU He's not here. FUU Yes... where did that person who was riding the horse go? P.110 HIKARU Waaaaaaaa! [MOKONA: Puuuuuuu] Mokona! UMI Mokona, you were okay! FUU I'm happy to see you again, Mokona-san. [MOKONA: Puu puu] UMI You're still white and fluffy! [MOKONA: Puu puu] and you still have that carefree smile. [MOKONA: puuuuuu Mokona's face lacks seriousness.] HIKARU But I'm glad that I met you again, Mokona. P.111 [MOKONA: Puu puu] [MOKONA: puu puu] HIKARU I think it wants us to follow it. UMI You still understand what Mokona says. UMI I wonder what Mokona's insides look like. FUU Well, it seems to be made of very bouncy material. P.112 UMI >From the way it looks, I think it's either ice cream or marshmallows. FUU My, that sounds tasty. [But Umi-san, are you planning on consuming Mokona-san?] [MOKONA: Puu puu] HIKARU Do we open this door? [MOKONA: Puu puu] WAAAAAA! P.113 CALDINA Long time no see, missy! HIKARU Caldina! Caldina, you were all right! And Lafarga! P.114 HIKARU I'm glad that everyone is in the castle. CALDINA Don't keep yerself in the corner. Come 'ere. You.... Why ya hidin'? Come on over! SHADOW (Ascot) Bu, but.... CALDINA Hey, you finally got to meet 'em again! P.115 CALDINA Come on! UMI That looks like the clothes Ascot wore... Are you a Bal, too? ASCOT Eh, um....... CALDINA Ahahahaha You're cracking jokes already? This kid's Ascot! P.116 UMI EEEEHhhhhhh!?? No way! The last time I saw you, you were THIS tall! CALDINA [ahaha] Ascot did all this for Umi... UMI Eh? What? P.117 UMI But you grew a lot, Ascot. I have to look up to you to talk. CALDINA MMggggg.... UUUUgghhh... [uuuugggggg, ooooohhhhh] ASCOT ...Ah....! CALDINA I... I thought I was going to die. ASCOT ... sorry. P.118 HIKARU But I'm happy that I got to see you again. P.119 CALDINA Although we did have our reasons, it's true that we weren't doing anything for the general good of Cephiro. LAFARGA Alcione will not be able to return, but I want to protect this country with what powers I have. ASCOT My friends are also helping out a lot in this castle. Everyone around here can now hang around my friends without being scared. HIKARU Oh, I was meaning to ask you something. When we went outside in our Mashin, something like a robot from Autozam appeared. CALDINA You girls aren't hurt, are you!? FUU We are all right. P.120 UMI And, at that moment... A guy appeared on horseback, and he... fired something like a laser beam from his sword. [CALDINA: Hmm hmm...] He was wearing black armor, and had a girl with wings with him. FUU Do you know him? HIKARU Ah... It's this pixie! [PIXIE (Primera): MM!?] P.121 PIXIE (Primera) Yeah? You want something? HIKARU Um, Pixie-san, um... PIXIE (Primera) I'm Primera. HIKARU I'm Hikaru Shidou. Primera... Do you know where that guy you were with went? PRIMERA You mean Lantis? $ (Eagle) $Lantis.... HIKARU %It's the same name.... P.122 PRIMERA Lantiiiiis... Lantiiiiis... P.123 HIKARU %Why is it...? %There's something about his eyes..... P.124 HIKARU Thank you for saving us earlier. LANTIS So you guys are the Legendary Magic Knights. HIKARU %I've heard this voice somewhere before... LAFARGA Where have you been, wandering outside the castle!!? P.125 LANTIS ...There is no need to tell you. PRIMERA Waaaait... Lantiiiiis... HIKARU ...That voice... I remember hearing it somewhere before.... LAFARGA You should have heard it before. Lantis over there is the younger brother of Sol Zagato. P.126 HIKARU Zagato's....!? CALDINA I was surprised at first, too. His voice sounds so much like Zagato's.... P.127 UMI Zagato had a younger brother...? FUU But, we did not see him even once when we were last summoned. LAFARGA Yeah. Zagato's brother Lantis supposedly left this country long before you guys were summoned. UMI Left Cephiro? Why? LAFARGA I do not know why. But by the time I started working with Princess Emeraude, Lantis had already disappeared from Cephiro altogether. ASCOT I never heard anything from Zagato about his younger brother. CALDINA Me neither. LAFARGA Moreover.... P.128 LAFARGA He came back as soon as the Pillar disappeared. HIKARU Came back? From where? LAFARGA .. Autozam. HIKARU Autozam!? P.129 P.130 P.131 CLEF What's wrong, Umi? Weren't you sleeping in your room with Hikaru and Fuu? You can't sleep? UMI ..yes... Can I come over there? CLEF Sure. P.132 UMI Thank you. CLEF What happened to Hikaru and Fuu? UMI ... I think they are asleep. CLEF ...Umi. If you can't sleep, I'll give you some herbal tea. UMI um, um.... I... P.133 UMI I have been wanting to apologize to you. CLEF Apologize...? UMI When I first came to Cephiro, I didn't know how much you cared about this country, and I didn't seriously listen to your story... I was a really bitchy girl... CLEF Umi.... UMI In the beginning, I kept thinking, "Why am I getting in this mess?" P.134 UMI I didn't know that it was such a tragic battle... ..I'm sorry. CLEF Umi, you didn't do anything wrong. UMI ..eh.....? CLEF If someone was summoned to another world, and got involved in a battle that he had nothing to do with, he would probably think the same way you did. You have nothing to apologize to me about. P.135 UMI Clef.... CLEF I am the one that should apologize. I did not tell you about the hidden truth behind the Legend of the Magic Knights, and I did not help you, either. UMI That's not true! If you helped us, we wouldn't have been able to mature our Hearts! And you provided us with Mokona; it tried its best too! P.136 CLEF ... a girl from another world. A Legendary Magic Knight that can save Cephiro. I am happy that I can see you again and I can thank you like this. In our current battle, think first about how to protect yourselves. Use the magic I gave you and the weapons that Presea gave you; use them for yourselves. I'll give you some herbal tea now. Drink it, and get some rest. P.137 UMI ... Thank you, Clef. P.138 FERIO ..... Fuu. What? Is something wrong? Did you have a bad dream? FUU I just could not sleep. P.139 FERIO Me neither. ..I was with you guys only for a short time, but I was always thinking about the three of you. FUU Ferio-san... I'm sorry for being selfish at the Forest of Silence. FERIO You only used your Wits to survive. Don't worry about it. P.140 FERIO .. you lost some weight. In the Legendary Battle, the ones that got hurt the most were you, the Magic Knights. FUU That is...! FERIO It's the one I gave you. P.141 FUU I remember placing it in my pocket, but it was gone when I was back in Tokyo! FERIO You looked for it.... It came back into my hand for some reason. FUU .. I wonder if it is because we went back to our world... [gasp] FERIO I want you to have it again. P.142 FERIO .. my sister gave these to me. FUU I cannot accept something so precious! FERIO Sister gave me these rings, telling me that I should give them to the person that I came to care about. Sister... knew well that she would never be united with the man she cared about here in Cephiro. So... she probably gave me these rings, believing that at least I should be happy. P.143 FERIO Please don't cry.... I don't want to make you cry. I don't remember my sister ever smiling from the depths of her heart. Her smile was always gentle, yet she always had sad eyes. I want you... to stay smiling. So that when I remember you, you will always be smiling.... FUU Ferio-san.... P.144 FERIO Call me Ferio. FUU Ferio.... P.145 HIKARU Where did they go....?

I... your brother....! You can hit me if you want! I understand that hitting me isn't enough! But! I want you to leave Umi-chan and Fuu-chan alone! P.154 HIKARU I know I'm pressing my luck saying this! But! Umi-chan and Fuu-chan weren't well when they were in Tokyo! They both cheered me up because I got depressed... but I think they were crying when they were alone. So, if you need to hit us, just hit me...! LANTIS I have no intentions of hitting you. HIKARU Eh....? P.155 LANTIS Legendary Magic Knights that were summoned from another world... I have no reason to blame you for what happened. HIKARU But... I...! LANTIS I'm sure that you were crying too... when you were alone.... P.156 LANTIS ..There is no reason for you to blame yourselves. What I am blaming... is Cephiro's.... [PRIMERA: NNNNOOOOOOO!!] P.157 PRIMERA What do you think you're doing while I was asleep!? Lantis is MINE! When Cephiro started breaking down, and I was in trouble because I had nowhere to go, he saved me! Aaah... he was SOOO cool... my beloved Lantis. SO!

ZAZU [Noooo!] The laser on the FTO is broken!! GEO He did it during the battle with the Magic Knights. So, how were the Magic Knights? EAGLE I gathered their data on FTO. GEO What's wrong? You look pale. EAGLE ... I met Lantis. P.160 GEO Lantis!? EAGLE It seems that he has indeed returned to Cephiro.... I am slightly sleepy... GEO You used too much Mental Energy.... [come on....] P.161 GEO Zazu! The road that Eagle created is receding! We must go back before the road disappears! ZAZU Roger! EAGLE ....Lantis.... I am sorry.....

I am going to become the Pillar of Cephiro! p.164 GIRL (Asuka) O---hohohohoho O----hohohohohoho [o-------hohohohohohohohoho] OLD MAN (Chanan) There, There, Asuka. If you keep laughing like that, you will lose your concentration and the Road will disappear! ASUKA [gasp] Ugh, I don't want that to happen. P.165 ASUKA Chanan! CHANAN At your service! ASUKA Sanyun! SANYUN Y, yes! ASUKA I am Asuka, the oldest daughter of Fahren's emperor! I am!! SANYUN You, you are invincible! P.166 ASUKA Yes! I am invvvincible! Definitely, absolutely, pozzzitively! I am going to become the Pillar of Cephiro! And. I'm going to become the princess of Cephiro after I become the Pillar! The last Princess of Cephiro was blond and blue-eyed... she was supposedly a very very cute princess. P.167 ASUKA If I become the princess of Cephiro, I can do whatever I want within this country! [fufufufu] S0! The one who will become the Pillar of Cephiro is me, Asuka of Fahren! P.168-169 P.170 WOMAN (Tarta) So that's the magical country Cephiro. WOMAN (Tatra) Oh, that is Cephiro... My, it's small. I would think it's about as big as our country. P.171 WOMAN (Tarta) [AARGH] Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!! We finally got to Cephiro! I'm getting into the mood, so don't bother me!! Tatra! TATRA [kyaaaaa] Tarta, you're mean. I'm the older sister. But Tarta... your language right there... TARTA [gasp] [ahem] Anyway! P.172 TARTA We have to get to Cephiro as soon as possible!! TATRA I guess so. I mean, we combined our powers to make the Road to Cephiro. TARTA Yeah! We must quickly extend this Road to Cephiro and become their Pillar, and make our empire bigger! TATRA Yes... because Chizeta, our country, is so small and cramped... P.173 TARTA We, Tarta and Tatra of Chizeta, will take Cephiro!! [EEEeeya!] [Tatra: oooohhhh....] P.174 HIKARU %Lantis... %He didn't blame us, the Magic Knights that defeated his brother %Zagato.... %But what was the thing that he DOES blame, that he mentioned....? P.175 $ (Lantis) $I'm sure that you were crying too... when you were alone.... P.176 UMI What's wrong, Hikaru? Are you feeling ill? ...you're a little feverish.... FUU I cannot cure an illness with my magic... Please take care of yourself. HIKARU I'm okay. It's nothing. UMI I don't trust your "I'm okay," Hikaru. P.177 UMI You're always doing something preposterous, and you never say anything when you're in pain or suffering, and you keep worrying about others... [Umi's right!] There is nothing more unreliable than you telling me that you're okay.. FUU Hikaru-san. We are now fighting together in Cephiro again. We go to different schools, and our homes are far apart. But... The things that went on in Cephiro are our precious Memories, shared between the three of us. P.178 FUU I think of Hikaru-san and Umi-san as Comrades. As comrades that are more important than anyone else.... P.179 FUU My sister was telling me... "It is tough not having someone who understands what you are worried about. But, if you are not alone... if you have someone to share your worries with, and to help you find the solution to those worries... then you have no problems." I am sure that there will be a lot of things to worry about from now on. But we should work TOGETHER, like Hikaru-san said. P.180 UMI The three of us. HIKARU Umi-chan... Fuu-chan... ..thank you.... P.181 [MOKONA: Pupuuuuuu] UMI Of course Mokona is our comrade too. You were traveling with us! [MOKONA: puu puu puu puu] P.182 UMI Mokona sure feels good! And... .....you look yummy to eat. [MOKONA: puu puu!!] FUU Well, now that we have some tea, I think it's a good time to find a snack... UMI ufufufufu Mokona---! FUU Ohoho P.183 HIKARU Ahaha. It's okay, Mokona. Umi-chan won't eat you. UMI [Ufufufufu] I don't know about that! I wanted a snack about now! [MOKONA: Puuuuuuuuuuuu] FUU Kyaaaa! UMI Kyeaaa! P.184 HIKARU Umi-chan! Fuu-chan! Mokona! Are you all right!? UMI Are YOU all right, Hikaru!? P.185 P.186 HIKARU Cephiro... is disappearing... P.187 CLEF Another portion of Cephiro is now lost. PRESEA Guru Clef... CLEF We do not have much time left. P.188 HIKARU Clef! Are you all right!? CLEF Hikaru? UMI Are you all right!? FUU Is anyone hurt? PRESEA We're fine, Hikaru, Umi, Fuu. P.189 HIKARU Clef, that earthquake... CLEF Cephiro is once again starting to disappear. Rapidly. UMI We don't have... time. FUU We do not. P.190 CLEF If a new Pillar is not found soon, Cephiro will disappear completely. HIKARU Pillar..... P.191 UMI By the way, how do you determine who is the Pillar of Cephiro? You told us that the person who has a stronger Heart than anyone else becomes the Pillar. But how are they chosen? P.192-193 CLEF I guess I can share this with you, Magic Knights. To become the Pillar of Cephiro, you must first find The Path. HIKARU ...Path....? CLEF The one fated to become the Pillar of Cephiro must pass through the Path to the Pillar, and accept a certain Challenge. P.194 FUU Challenge.... I wonder what kind of a Challenge it is.... CLEF I do not know. The Path to the Pillar opens only in front of those who are capable of becoming a Pillar. And even if you find the Path, you cannot become the Pillar of Cephiro unless you overcome the Challenge. FERIO That is why the Guru is worried... someone who can make a Road from another country may have the potential to become the Pillar. P.195 CLEF ..The only one who knew the Path to the Pillar was Princess Emeraude, the last Pillar. We tried our best to find that Path... UMI But you couldn't find it.... FUU But where in Cephiro, a land that has mostly vanished, does the Path to the Pillar lie....? P.196 CLEF If we cannot find the Path to the Pillar and welcome a new Pillar before these Roads reach Cephiro.... Cephiro will be lost forever. HIKARU %If Cephiro disappears.... %What will happen to all the people that live here....? P.197 HIKARU %But... %If a new pillar is born.... %it will happen again....! [MOKONA: puuuuuu] %Mokona is worried, too. P.198 SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH Girls from another world. HIKARU Rayearth! UMI Selece! FUU Windam! SELECE, WINDAM, RAYEARTH There are new invaders which approach Cephiro. P.199 PRESEA Where are you going!? HIKARU The Mashin told us! There is another country that is approaching Cephiro! CLEF, PRESEA, FERIO What!? UMI We're on our way. FERIO It's dangerous to go alone! FUU We want to make sure of something. PRESEA Make sure? HIKARU We want to make sure of what they are thinking. We don't want to fight anymore, without knowing what the opponent is wishing for! P.200 CLEF I am sorry.... The last Battle has.... truly hurt your Hearts... P.201 LANTIS %Cephiro... %It was such a beautiful and calm country.... %Yet, when it loses its Pillar.... %It becomes so desolate.... P.202 $ (Zagato) $So, you're here again, Lantis? $ (Lantis) $This is the warmest spot in the castle... P.203 $ (Zagato) $You're the only Kailu in Cephiro, and the Chief Bodyguard of $Princess Emeraude. What will happen in an emergency if you $keep taking naps? {Kailu: RE term for a magic swordsman -- a cross between a swordsman and a sorcerer. "Mahou Kenshi".} $ (Lantis) $Although I'm a Kailu, Cephiro is supported by the heart of $Princess Emeraude, the Pillar... so there are no wars. $The quests to kill monsters are after sundown. $....what's wrong, Zagato? $Is something on your mind? $ (Zagato) $.....Lantis. $What do you think about the Pillar.....? P.204 $ (Zagato) $What do you think about this current system.... in which only $the Pillar is responsible for everything here...? $The one who can become a Pillar must have a stronger Heart $than anyone else. $And the one who becomes the Pillar is also the creator $of Cephiro. $But is the Pillar's heart really free....? P.205 $ (Lantis) $.... Zagato.... P.206 LANTIS The tragedy.... should never be repeated. I will end the Legend of the Magic Knights... with my own hands. --To Next Stage-- (Pirated) CLAMP Newspaper for Magic Knight RayEarth2 Volume 1. P.208 SD Ookawa So, did you like Magic Knight RayEarth2? SD Mokona Apapa Hikaru et al. have to fight in Cephiro again, not knowing who summoned them. SD Nekoi In addition to the characters from part 1, there will be many new characters. Please cheer for both the old and new characters. By the way, are you watching the Magic Knight RayEarth anime, on Monday nights at 7:30PM on the YTV/NTV network stations? The anime also entered part 2. P.209 SD Mokona Apapa CLAMP was able to design all the characters that appear only in the anime. What did you think about them? SD Satsuki Oh, by the way... Ookawa is writing the scripts for part 2 of the anime. [SD Ookawa: ohohoho] SD Nekoi The stories are different between the manga and the anime. SD Mokona Apapa Those scripts for the anime version of RayEarth will come out from Kodansha in novel form. [yaaaaay] SD Ookawa The illustrations in the novel are going to be drawn by CLAMP as well. For details, including the release date, please look at Nakayoshi. SD Mokona Apapa We are also planning to release a "bonus manga" for the anime. SD Nekoi Although Nova only appears in the anime, I like him because he's cute like a cat. SD Satsuki Speaking of cats, CLAMP currently lives with a cat. P.210 SD Satsuki It's about 3 months old right now... so it's still a kitten. It is an "American Curl". The coat is brown-tick-tabby. Its eyes are gold. [The ears curl outward.] Since it is still a playful kitten, it runs a lot, eats a lot, bites a lot, and sleeps a lot. [aaaahhh.... it's sooooo cute....] [Satsuki likes cats. The cat likes kitty-soccer.] Sometimes it climbs on the desk and pushes off all the things that were on it. [hai---ya!] It secretly drinks the milk in the cup. [slurp slurp] It jumps and bites you as you pass by. [Eeeee-ya!] But it is still cute (especially when asleep). SD Nekoi By the time we write the postscript for RE2 vol. 2, it will be much bigger. SD Mokona Apapa We'll keep you posed on what kind of cat it grows up to be. Please cheer the Magic Knights on and see how the three girls will mature as their adventure continues. --To Next Stage-- Character Profiles! Page 1 top: Lantis. (Mahoukenshi / Kailu) * Originally from: Cephiro * Favorite thing: naps * Least favorite thing: sweet things The younger brother of Sol Zagato. He used to be the only Kailu in Cephiro, but he disappeared one day. He returned to Cephiro after Princess Emeraude passed away. He learned magic from Guru Clef, and had more power than the Dals, but he is now a mysterious figure. Although his voice sounds very similar to Zagato's, his personality seems to be drastically different. He is always reticent and poker-faced. It will be a while before the truth about this guy that looks like he's thinking about something but might not be thinking of anything at all will be known. Page 1 bottom: Primera. (pixie) * Originally from: Cephiro * Favorite thing: Lantis, Plug, Gear (plug & gear are food in Cephiro) * Least favorite thing: anything that messes with Lantis A pixie that claims she's been with Lantis ever since he rescued her when she was being attacked by monsters. She can use healing magic, although she only uses them for Lantis's wounds. Although he has no romantic intentions, she dreams about a future where she lives happily together with Lantis... and dislikes anything that gets in the way of that dream. Page 2 top: Eagle Vision * Originally from: Autozam * Favorite thing: Sweet things, teatime, naps * Least favorite thing: doesn't have anything in particular The commander-in-chief of NSX, the battleship that Autozam sent to conquer Cephiro. He is also the strongest Commander in Autozam. When there is no battle, he is very calm and always smiling. He seems to have a clumsy side, and he seems to fall asleep during conferences or to trip and fall where there is nothing to trip on. He likes sweet things, and he loves to drink tea and space out. He loves to sleep more than anything else. Page 2 bottom: FTO * Originally from: Autozam The figher-mecha custom-made for Eagle. The machine emphasizes speed and lightness (weightwise), and is undefeated in Autozam. It has a laser-sword that matches Eagle's on its hand, and it can fire vulcans, beams, and the like. Eagle, who is usually calm, supposedly becomes a completely different person when he gets on FTO. There are regular models of fighter-mechas, but Eagle's FTO and Geo's GTO are specially tuned. Page 3 top: Geo Metro. * Originally from: Autozam * Favorite thing: sweet food, anything that tastes good, cooking * Least favorite thing: alcohol The Subcommander for the NSX. An excellent Fighter. Eagle's friend and general baby-sitter. He is outgoing, like his appearance, but for some reason he has a sweet tooth and can't drink alcohol at all. He is also friends with Lantis, so there must have been much to think about during this conquest project. He makes a good combo with Zazu: they are good friends despite their age difference. Page 3 bottom: Zazu Torque * Originally from: Autozam * Favorite thing: FTO, alcohol * Least favorite thing: people who wreck his beloved mechas The youngest crew member and also the Chief Mechanic of NSX. He came along on this mission because he has a crush on Eagle's FTO. In contrast with Geo who can't drink, he loves any form of alcohol, and has a strong tolerance. Although he kids around with Geo a lot, he is a great mechanic and can fix anything from battleships to microwave ovens. He is currently looking for a girlfriend.
