Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 2, Episode 25 - Zettaizetsumei! Rantisu no Kiki - full transcript

After the painful battle in the
alternate world called Cephiro,

I, Umi Ryuuzaki, was summoned
once again to Cephiro from Tokyo Tower,

with Hikaru Shidou,
and Fuu Hououji.

This country had lost the Pillar
that supported it, Princess Emeraude,

and was facing
total destruction.

The mobile fortress Bravada,

which belonged to the twin
Princesses Tarta and Tatra from Chizeta,

was advancing upon
Cephiro, ready to invade.

Tarta and Tatra
challenged me to a duel,

and promised to call
off their attack if I won.

I believed that they would keep this
promise, and so I accepted the challenge.



It was a close match, but
somehow I managed to win!

But there are other enemies
who are ready to attack Cephiro,

and we're running out of time!

Hikaru! Fuu! We'll
fight this battle together!

A Desperate
Situation! Lantis' Crisis!

[Heartbeat pulses]

I don't believe that the
current law governing Cephiro,

a system that puts everything
solely on the shoulders of the Pillar,

is a good system by any means.

Then we're in agreement.

Master Mage...

Once upon a time,
Cephiro was beautiful.

There were no battles,
no natural disasters.

Everyone lived happily.



That beautiful Cephiro was created
and upheld by Princess Emeraude.

By the heart of one young girl.

However, there's been something
weighing on my mind recently.

She ensures the people's happiness,
but who ensures her happiness?

Hmm.

Cephiro is a land that belongs
to everyone who lives there.

And the person that determines
the fate of this country...

...is you.

[Thunder booms]

[Frightened gasp]

[Thunder booms]

BOTH: Princess Emeraude...

[Deep rumbling]

Lantis, tell me...

What was your true
reason for leaving Cephiro?

And why did you return so soon
after Princess Emeraude passed away?

I returned to Cephiro to put
an end to the Pillar System.

Zagato truly loved
Princess Emeraude.

Even though he knew that
love would never be allowed.

Also, Princess Emeraude
was in love with Zagato, too.

However, their wishes
were not shared like their love.

Zagato's wish was the freedom
of Princess Emeraude's heart,

even if it meant
sacrificing all of Cephiro.

However, Princess Emeraude denied
her own freedom at the people's expense,

and decided to destroy herself.

If this system, where everything relies
on the Pillar, continues to exist...

Then a tragedy, just like what happened
to Princess Emeraude, will occur again.

Tragedy shouldn't ever
be allowed to repeat itself.

[Thunder booms] [Deep rumbling]

I hold every person who
inhabits Cephiro dear to me.

And they are even dearer if they
are ones that I have personally guided.

Princess Emeraude... Zagato...

Alcyone...and you, of course.

But Lantis...

I don't want to see
anyone's heart torn apart

by the heavy responsibilities
of the Pillar ever again.

Master Mage...

The tear-stained faces of the
Magic Knights are especially painful.

If we had actually
found another Pillar,

I intended to tell that person of
Princess Emeraude's tragedy.

[Magic hums]

[Magic ripples]

About why the princess
destroyed herself,

and about why the Magic Knights
were summoned here from another world.

Everything about
that legend of sorrow.

Even if it meant that
whoever it was would then

refuse to become the
next Pillar of Cephiro.

Umi'll be alright. There's
nothing to worry about.

Yes, you're right.

[Startled gasp]

[Magic ripples]

[Magic ripples]

Huh?

- Miss Umi!
- Ah! Fuu!

[Giggles]

You weren't injured at
all were you, Miss Umi?

[Giggles] Not a scratch on me!

In any case, let
me introduce you!

Huh?

Meet the Royal
Princesses of Chizeta!

Hmph!

Don't worry about her. Trust
me, she's always been like that.

Pleased to meet you. I'm
Tatra, Princess of Chizeta.

I'm Tarta! [Distressed groans]

Now Tarta, don't be so bashful and
give these people a proper introduction.

Stop, you're hurting me!

I apologize for her. My younger
sister is a very shy person.

Oh, is that so?

But just as we promised,
Chizeta will not attempt

to invade the land of
Cephiro any further.

Yeah, alright! You did it!

It's because the two of
them were good people.

Aaaah! What are
you doin', pinchin' my

face so hard? What
if it stays like that!?

Sorry, but it's good for you.

It's a lot better to
stretch it out than not to.

What the heck for!?

Oh! Miss Tarta! I
also believe that it's

better to stretch your
mouth out than not to!

- Huh?
- After all, if it's something that you can do...

...don't you think that knowledge
will be useful in the future?

Exactly!

There might be a contest one day to
see how far you can stretch your cheeks,

and Tarta here would
never know if she could win it.

Wouldn't that be a shame? See!

Ohhh....

Well, I guess those two
seem to be getting along.

Hmm.

I am Aska of Fahren!

The dragon of Fahren!?

Miss Aska!

I'm going!

[Startled gasp]

I come in peace!

I am not here to fight you!

[Surprised gasp]

[Magic ripples, hums]

Miss Aska!

[Startled gasp] I have
come... well... to say...

- Lady Aska!
- Huh?

[Determined grunt] Right!

I've decided Fahren
will stop it's invasion.

That's wonderful!

I've realized that
there's no way that I

could think about
Cephiro and only Cephiro.

I thought about it for a while,
after I heard Fuu's story...

I love my people, and ruling
Fahren is my responsibility.

So because of all that, I have
given up on invading Cephiro.

[Relieved sigh]

Thank you so much, Miss Aska,
for understanding. Thank you.

Huh? Aah...

Aren't you relieved
now, Lady Aska?

Um... I came by
here today, so that we

could keep the promise
that we made before.

The promise?

We promised to have
some tea, if we met again.

Oh! I didn't think you would
remember that I said that!

Of course I did!

Is that why you came
all the way over here?

Hmm? Am I being a bother?

[Relieved sigh] Not at all!

I'd be delighted to
have tea with you!

[Excited giggle]

Would it be okay for
me to call you "Fuu"?

Of course it's okay!

[happy laugh] Yay!

[Giggles]

- Fuu!
- Yes!

BOTH: [Happy giggle]

BOTH: [Chuckle]

The Crown Room... Eagle...

The only people who
may enter that room

are people who have
been judged as worthy!

I know that.

That's why I'm going to allow myself
to be tested to see if I'm worthy.

Don't do it!

Stop it! Eagle, no!

[Heartbeat pulses]

Only those qualified to become the
Pillar may leave the Crown Room alive.

Back then, I'm sure that Hikaru and
I entered that room at the same time.

[Heartbeat pulses]

[Startled gasps]

[Frightened screams]

So why? Why were both of us
able to come out of the room safely?

Is it Eagle?

Could it be Hikaru?

[Thunder booms]

Does this mean that one of us will
be able to become the next Pillar?

Will I become the Pillar?

If I'm the one who's qualified to become
the Pillar, there isn't any problem.

However, if
Hikaru's the Pillar...

[BOTH} Lantis...

For all we know, you might have just
fallen in love with the next Pillar.

Exactly like your
brother Zagato.

[Frightened gasp]

[Frightened gasps]

What are you gonna do
Hikaru, if you're the one?

- Who's the Pillar?
- Nova!

[Strained groans]

[Evil giggle] I know
exactly what you're thinking.

I know exactly how
you feel about the Pillar!

- [Nova giggles]
- [Hikaru gasps]

[Pained scream] [Magic hums]

The pendant! It protected me!

You're all... all trying to stop
me from playing with Hikaru!

Seville!

Alba!

[Menacing growls]

[Startled gasps] [Magic ripples]

[Determined gasp]

I hate everyone
that you love, Hikaru.

If everyone you loved weren't around
anymore, then you'd be all by yourself.

And you'd only
have me to play with!

Lantis!

[Startled gasp]

I hate him!

[Magic whooshes]

[Alarmed shout] Hold it! Nova!

[Heavy thudding steps]

[Menacing growls]

I'm you, Hikaru.

That's why Lantis will be mine.

Nova!

[Magic chimes] [Alarmed gasps]

That presence!

[Startled gasps]

[Giggles]

How did you get here?

This room is protected by one
of Master Mage Clef's barriers.

It's because I'm Hikaru.

If Hikaru's allowed to pass
through it, then I'm also allowed.

[Startled gasp]

That's impossible!

Are you a creation of Hikaru's
heart? You're a shadow?

Hmph!

[Grunts, magic booms]

[Menacing growls]

[Battle shout]

Huh?

That's better. We can fight here
and nobody will be able to interrupt us.

[Magic hums]

[Menacing roar]

[Strained grunts]

[Determined grunt]

Lightning Bolt Assault!

[Battle shout]

Very impressive!

Lantis!

Master Mage...

Only you were drawn into the alternate
dimension that the girl created.

I tried to dispel that
dimension, but I can't!

Not even you can dispell it?

That's not it!

My theory is that the girl
was created by Hikaru's heart.

That means she's a
part of Hikaru's heart.

If I dispel the alternate
dimension, then the

girl who created it
will be hurt as a result.

[Determined grunt]

Then if I injure that girl...

...Hikaru's heart
will be injured...

If the girl dies, then a part
of Hikaru will be forever lost.

Hikaru...

[Booming explosion]
[Pained shout, gasps]

[Determined grunt]

[Menacing growl]

[Magic hums]

[Booming explosion]
[Alarmed gasp]

Flame Arrow! Hyah!

[Magic ripples]

Move it!

[Magic hums]

[Menacing growl]

[Blades clash] [Strained groans]

Lantis!

[Pained panting]

Hey. Aren't you supposed
to be a lot better than this?

Why aren't you
fighting me seriously?

Is it because if you hurt me,
you know you'll hurt Hikaru too?

[Frustrated growl, shout]

[Pained grunt]

[Pained gurgle]

[Evil giggle]

Hi...karu...

[Pained sigh]

[Evil laugh] He's
mine, Hikaru! Mine!

[Insane laughter]

[Magic ripples]

[Startled gasp]

Lantis!

[Loud boom]

Who is it today?

Today it's Mokona!

Puu puu, puu-puu-puu,
puu puu! Puuuu!
