"Help..." "Save this world..." "Oh, legendary Magic Knights!" "To think they would choose Tokyo Tower for our social studies field trip!" "Our school is really weird after all!" "Yeah, it's not like we're still in grade school." "Don't you think so, Hikaru?" "Wow!" "It's so high up!" "This is so cool!" "I'm so happy that they brought us to a place like this for our field trip!" "Right?" "She's happy." "What's wrong, Hikaru?" "The binoculars ran out of time." "Let's see..." "Money..." "Money..." "Please, use this." "I had a pleasant time watching you enjoy your trip." "Please, do not mind me." "That's the uniform of a famous private school." "The one famous for having so many geniuses?" "I'm gonna go thank her!" "She's so short that she got stuck!" "Hey, isn't that the white-collar, all-girls junior high?" "The one that politicians' and financial group leaders' daughters attend?" "You're right." "Is today the day that all famous schools visit Tokyo Tower?" "Look at that girl..." "She's so pretty..." "Like a model!" "This world..." "Please save Cephiro!" "Oh, legendary Magic Knights!" "W-What is this?" "It seems to be a giant flying fish." "What in the world is going on?" "Where in the world are we?" "She used the last of her powers to summon the legendary Magic Knights from another world." "I never thought that the legend would become a reality..." "Why are you so worried?" "A legend is a legend." "It isn't the truth." "Those mere children cannot become Magic Knights let alone save Princess Emeraude." "Yes, sir." "Of course, it is foolish to laugh it all off as a legend." "As you wish." "What kind of place is this?" "What just happened to us?" "It is certain that we are no longer in Tokyo." "You can tell that just by looking around!" "This isn't Tokyo." "When we were on that big flying fish..." "I saw a mountain floating in the sky." "And a volcano far away..." "I have an important fencing match in one week!" "What are you going to do about that?" "I know!" "Let's introduce ourselves!" "Introductions?" "Do you really think this is the right time for that?" "Really?" "I feel that it is a wonderful idea." "What part?" "It seems that the three of us were the only ones to arrive here from Tokyo Tower." "So what do we do now?" "We should help each other find our way in this unknown land." "That's why we need to start with introductions!" "Oh, all right." "I'm Umi Ryuuzaki." "I'm in eighth grade." "I am Fuu Hououji." "I am also in eighth grade." "Hikaru Shidou!" "14 years old!" "Eighth grade!" "What?" "You're the same age as me?" "I thought you were in grade school." "I am sorry." "I thought so, too." "You don't look a day over eleven!" "Hey, you!" "Run for cover, already!" "It's all right!" "This guy is really tame!" "What good does it being tame do for our current situation?" "Hey!" "Can you please take us back to Tokyo?" "I know you can because you brought us here!" "Creature Recall!" "There is no way for you to return." "And you are..." "I am Master Mage Clef." "I am here to guide you." "You cannot return to your world until you save this world, Cephiro." "Wow..." "The legendary Magic Knights have been summoned!" "What?" "The legendary Magic Knights were summoned?" "T-That can't be!" "Just what we expect from Princess Emeraude." "To be able to use that much power even under imprisonment." "Are there three like in the legends?" "Are they going to revive the Rune-God?" "Quiet!" "Lord Zagato is about to speak!" "Those who were summoned from another world are still children." "There is no chance that the Rune-God will be revived." "But they are currently with Master Mage Clef." "They're with that obnoxious guy." "That's a tad problematic." "Alcyone." "Yes!" "It is best that weeds be pulled out early." "As you wish." "This is Cephiro." "You were summoned to become the Magic Knights and save Cephiro by Princess Emeraude." "And who do you think you are to tell us this?" "You're younger than us, right?" "Let go!" "Don't mess with me!" "Really!" "What was Princess Emeraude thinking when she summoned such children?" "Umi, behind you!" "Lightning Call!" "That's amazing!" "Cephiro wasn't like this when Princess Emeraude was around." "Humans, spirits, and creatures all lived happily together." "However, after High Priest Zagato imprisoned Princess Emeraude Cephiro turned for the worse." "Cephiro has turned into a world full of war and confusion where monsters freely roam." "And now, only the Magic Knights can save Cephiro and you are those Magic Knights." "Magic Knights..." "If that story is really true, you have quite a problem on your hands." "But it doesn't concern us." "The problems of this land should be solved by the people of this land!" "The people of Cephiro cannot solve the problem!" "If we could, we wouldn't need your help!" "Various magicians and swordsmen have fought Zagato to save the princess." "But they could not win." "I'll do it!" "I'll do everything I can to become that Magic Knight and save Cephiro!" "Hey, wait a minute!" "Do you think you can make such an important decision so lightly?" "I can't just ignore it when there are people who need help!" "Come on, help me out here!" "Tell her not to do stupid things like this!" "There is no path for you to choose." "Unless you become the Magic Knights and save Cephiro you cannot return to your world." "Quit joking around!" "I have an important fencing match in one week!" "Princess Emeraude is the Pillar of this world." "Princess Emeraude supported law and order here in Cephiro with her prayers." "In Cephiro, one's will rules over all." "The heart which believes becomes power in Cephiro." "The heart which believes..." "The princess' wish has brought you three here." "Until her wish is fulfilled, you cannot return to your world." "The princess' wish is for this world to be saved." "And for you to do that, you must first become the Magic Knights and revive the Rune-God." "Rune-God?" "Can you use magic?" "If we could, we would've been back to Tokyo by now!" "You can't even use magic?" "I should also do something with that equipment of yours..." "Bestow Magic!" "Wow..." "What is this?" "Oh my..." "I tried to choose magic for you, but it seems the magic has chosen you." "We can use magic?" "If you cast a spell." "Do as I say." "What's this?" "A little play?" "Close your eyes." "Do you feel it?" "The power that you have inside of you?" "A power you've never felt before." "I feel it." "Something burning deep inside my heart." "A phrase comes to mind..." "Yes." "That is your magic." "What is that?" "One of Zagato's minions has arrived!" "What?" "Creature Summon!" "Get on quickly!" "What are you going to do?" "Hold them off." "You're kidding!" "Enough!" "Go!" "I'll fight with you!" "If you want to help me become the Magic Knights as soon as you can and save Cephiro!" "Clef!" "Go west." "Presea will be waiting for you in the Forest of Silence." "Get weapons there!" "And Mokona!" "It has been a while, Master Mage Clef." "Siding with Zagato..." "I am disappointed in my pupil, Alcyone..." "I am very grateful to you, Master Mage because you have given me such wonderful magic." "Like this..." "Icicle Onslaught." "Barrier Circle!" "Nothing less from my master, the highest-ranked magician of Cephiro." "I taught you magic so that you could be at Princess Emeraude's side and protect her." "It was not so you could become a threat to Cephiro!" "As strict as always." "But I do not have time for idle chatter, Master Mage Clef." "Creature Summon!" "There is no way for me to win against you if I fight you myself." "My mission is the eradication of those novice Magic Knights." "Wait, Alcyone!" "Lightning Call!" "If..." "If they are to fall to Alcyone..." "It would be impossible to revive the Rune-God and become Magic Knights." "The true enemy of the Magic Knights makes Alcyone seem like nothing..." "To sense my presence..." "Impressive, Master Mage." "But it was too late." "He cannot save Princess Emeraude as he is now." "Clef..." "He will be all right." "He is a very powerful person." "T-Then, what is that?" "Ice Spear Attack!" "What was that about holding them off?" "He's all talk and no action!" "Let's go back to where Clef is!" "We still might be able to save him!" "W-Wait a minute!" "I don't want to abandon him like this!" "If you really want to help Mr. Clef, then you must not go back!" "Do you remember what Mr. Clef told us?" "Did he not ask us to save Cephiro?" "And as soon as possible?" "Mr. Clef does not wish for us to return to him!" "The master mage's creatures are impressive." "But this is the end!" "Pleased to meet you the eggs from another world that would have hatched into Magic Knights." "I know we just met, so I do apologize, but you must die!" "Magic Knights..." "We can't just die like this..." "Die..." "If I die..." "Only the Magic Knights can save Cephiro and you are those Magic Knights." "Farewell." "It looks like you know a little trick." "So what?" "Flame Arrow!" "What?" "Are you all right?" "I assume that was the magic Mr. Clef was talking about?" "Y-Yeah..." "Hey..." "Why don't we ask this weird bird to take us back to Tokyo?" "We can't!" "I am against that idea as well." "Why are you against it now?" "Do you really believe that irritating guy?" "I do not trust everything that I have heard." "However, the story about the Magic Knights seems credible." "Our pursuer confirmed the story." "You trust something that the old hag said?" "Do you see anything wrong with following Mr. Clef's orders just one time?" "It is dangerous to haphazardly wander around an unfamiliar place." "What happens if Clef was a big liar?" "There's no way that could be true!" "Lies will eventually be revealed." "Even if it is a lie it is better to follow something than nothing." "Or do you have a better idea, Ms. Umi?" "We don't know which way to go even if we wanted to follow Clef's orders..." "I'm sure this big bird knows where to go!" "I will follow Mr. Clef's orders as well." "What will you do, Ms. Umi?" "Are you going to go off somewhere by yourself, Umi?" "I guess I have no choice." "I'll go with you guys." "I'm more worried about leaving you two alone!" "Master Mage Clef..." "You have summoned the Magic Knigths from another world." "Zagato..." "End your futile efforts, Princess Emeraude." "The Rune-God will not be revived." "The legendary Magic Knights will not come to be." "Why?" "Why are you, a high priest, doing this?" "Don't you care about what happens to Cephiro?" "No."
