Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 2, Episode 27 - Shin no Hashira wa!? Hikaru ka, Iguru ka!? - full transcript
I, Hikaru Shidou, along with
my best friends, Umi and Fuu,
was summoned once again to
the alternate world called Cephiro.
This world had lost the
world's Pillar, Princess
Emeraude, and was in
danger of complete destruction.
Chizeta, one of the invading
countries, finally retreated
and then Aska, the
princess of Fahren,also
declared that she
would call off her invasion.
We were all bursting
with happiness!
Eagle, the commander from Autozam,
had no plans to call off his invasion.
But then he promised
me that he would stay
here, to prevent Cephiro
from disappearing.
If it turned out that he was
qualified to become the next Pillar.
But most of Cephiro
is already gone.
There's no time left.
The True Pillar!
Hikaru or Eagle?
[Deep rumbling] [Thunder cracks]
[Heartbeat pulses]
The crown... has changed its shape!
Because someone worthy of becoming
the Pillar has entered that room.
Is it the one from
Autozam? Or is it...
Hikaru.
[Door creaks]
Hikaru!
It's you!
[Frantic panting]
- [Startled shout]
- Oh! Lady Aska!
The tremors are
starting to get worse!
I'm worried about
the residential area.
Yeah. Those monsters from
before might show up again.
Then you should go make
sure your people are safe.
Mm-hmm.
And we'll go with you too. We
might be able to help you out a little.
And I'll come with you too!
- Thanks a lot.
- Your help is appreciated.
The two of us will look for
Hikaru starting around Clef's study.
Ferio, you and the others
go to the residential area.
- Sure.
- Ready?
- Yes!
- C'mon!
[Startled gasp]
[Alarmed gasps]
[Frightened scream]
Miss Umi!
ALL: Umi!
- [Frightened scream]
- Beast, I Summon Thee!
- [Fierce roar]
- [Frightened scream]
[Relieved gasp]
Hmm?
You must be one of Ascot's
friends, aren't ya? Thank you.
[Happy screech]
Umi!
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
You sure have been saving me
a lot lately, Ascot. Thanks a lot.
Oh! Are you alright, Miss Umi?
Yeah. But why did
the wall just break?
Has the crumbling of Cephiro
finally reached the castle?
[Startled gasps]
So you'll stay in Cephiro?
If I am the one who
becomes the Pillar, then
I will stay here in
Cephiro for its stability.
I only ask one thing in return.
That you allow Autozam
to analyze the Pillar System.
I don't have any time for
ulterior motives, Master Mage Clef.
I recall Lantis telling
me many times that you're
the most powerful
sorcerer in all of Cephiro.
I'm sure you see
why I don't have time.
You're... seriously ill…
Yes. The doctors said that
I wouldn't last long enough
to make the long journey
all the way to Cephiro.
[Startled gasp]
I believe... your name is Eagle?
Yes.
You have the
same aura as Lantis.
It is a truly strong
warrior's aura.
The reason you can keep
your illness at bay and stand
before me is because of
your loyalty to Autozam.
And also something else...
How I live is entirely up to
me to decide. So is how I die.
I don't intend to just give up and
wait for the end even if I am sick.
I'm a fighter. When I
die, it will be as a warrior.
Eagle...
Alright.
The Proof of the Pillar will
soon complete its transformation
to the shape best suited
for the next Pillar of Cephiro.
And at that time, we will
know who the true Pillar is.
Hikaru, what will you
do if you're the Pillar?
Hmm...
If it's me…
If it's me and I have the qualifications
to become the Pillar of this world...
[Rushing footsteps]
Clef!
The castle is starting to
crumble just like Cephiro!
Ferio and our friends from Chizeta
and Fahren went to the residential area!
[Heavy panting]
[Surprised gasps]
Why is Eagle here?
[Heavy rumbling] [Birds screech]
[Panicked screaming]
[Baby wails]
[Frightened scream]
Huh?
[Determined puu-ing]
Oh! Thank you!
- [Relieved puu-ing]
- [Frightened shouts]
Puu puu?
[Relieved puu-ing]
Even we can protect someone,
if we try the best we can!
Puu puu, puu!
[Deep rumbling]
[Stone cracking, crumbling]
Lord Zagato...
Oh, Alcyone...
Please tell me. I'm begging
you, Alcyone. Where is the enemy?
I can't. I can't live without Lord
Zagato. I have no reason to live.
Alcyone…
[Worried gasp]
Hikaru, you're prettier with a smile on
your face than with tears in your eyes.
I'm sure that Lantis will
be able to come back.
[Gasps, begins to cry]
Everything will be all right.
He's pretty tough despite
appearances. It'll take
a lot more than this
to break a guy like him.
You know, Hikaru...
Lantis really loves you.
[Startled gasp]
Lantis isn't like
his brother. No…
And so if he has
someone he loves like
you, then he'll come
back for her, Hikaru.
Hmm...
You have my word.
I will keep my promise.
[Thruster hums, whooshes]
I know, Eagle.
Hmm!
[Thrusters whoosh]
Eagle...
Man, that stupid balloon
kid really messed things up!
It took me longer than I
expected to make all the repairs!
Eagle...
[Alarm blares]
Geo! It's the FTO!
It is?!
I've confirmed it!
It really is Eagle in the FTO!
[Astonished gasp]
It is him!
Hikaru? You?
So then… the new
Pillar of Cephiro... is you?
But it's not
totally decided yet.
It's definitely either me or Eagle.
One of us will become the next Pillar.
The Proof of the Pillar is already
starting to change its shape.
To the shape that best
suits the next Pillar...
That means the three of us
responsible for the future of Cephiro.
I haven't said
anything about what I
thought of Cephiro's
Pillar System until now
because I didn't
think I had the right to.
Huh?
I don't know who
summoned us this time.
And I don't know when
we'll be able to go back.
I really didn't think that
anyone in the same situation
that we're in had the
right to criticize this country.
But if you are a candidate to become the
Pillar, then we are also responsible.
To me, the Pillar must
sacrifice everything
for the peace and
order of this world.
If everybody is happy then it doesn't
matter whether or not the Pillar is.
The last thing I would ever
want is for you to become the Pillar
and then be involved in a
tragedy like Princess Emeraude's.
Umi... Fuu... I agree.
I don't think anyone should ever
have to go through what we went through
and feel what we felt when
we were first summoned here.
[Uncertain gasps]
I was talking to Clef and he
said that if I became the Pillar,
that I could change Cephiro
into whatever I wanted it to be.
Clef said it was
alright to do it.
And I want to... I want to
do something good here!
Hikaru!
- Umi!
- Fuu!
What's wrong, Rayearth?
- Selece!
- Windam!
Look outside!
[Energy crackles]
It's her!
[Eyes chime]
Nova! [Frustrated grunt
Mmm!
Mmm!
[Magic hums]
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Magic ripples]
[Thunder booms]
Nova...
Hikaru...
That's my heart...
Nova! What did
you do with Lantis!?
Lantis is mine now.
Nova!
Everything you love
Hikaru, is something I hate.
[Magic whooshes]
[Startled gasps]
Everything! I hate them all!
Nova, no!
I... I...
Yeah! This time Eagle
didn't break anything at all!
- [Heavy panting]
- Hmm?
Huh?
[Slow panting]
I just got back from the castle.
[Frustrated growl]
Why didn't you contact us!?
I forgot the communicator...
Are you tryin' to piss
me off or somethin'!?
Not at all. I ought to
know better than anyone
else that making
you angry isn't pretty.
- Why you..!
- I've made a pact with Cephiro.
- [Surprised grunt]
- Eagle! Geo!
Huh?
The Magic Knights' Rune Gods!
The three of them are fighting with
that other Rune God from the other day!
BOTH: What!?
[Display hums]
[Magic hums] [Battle shout]
[Strained groans]
[Startled shout]
[Magic whooshes]
- [Startled, pained shouts]
- Miss Hikaru!
Icicle Blades!
[Icicles whoosh, chime]
What!?
[Pained shout]
[Booming explosions]
Emerald Cyclone!
[Strained grunt, shouts]
[Rapid explosions]
Umi! Fuu! That magic!
It's a new spell I learned
while defending the castle!
The same goes for me!
[Heavy panting] Hikaru!
Stop it! See? I'm
doing all this for you!
Nova…
I thought you felt
that people could only
be with the ones they
love when they die!
That's what you were thinking about when
you were fighting Princess Emeraude!
That's why…
That's why I'm doing this! It's for you
that I want to kill everyone you love!
[Startled gasp, battle shout]
Ruby Lightning!
I learned from Clef that
Nova's a part of my heart.
[Startled gasps]
She's a shadow created
by the part of my heart
that couldn't stand
killing Princess Emeraude.
She's a part of your heart?
Shadow?
[Magic hums]
I will kill you!
Lightning Ball...
[Energy crackles]
[Surprised gasp]
...Come Forth!
[Pained screams]
[Evil laugh]
That... magic!
That's right! It's magic
that belongs to Lantis!
How…?
Because…
[Magic hums]
Lantis!
Lightning Ball, Come Forth!
[Pained screams]
[Shrill laughter]
I'm going!
Where are you going?!
If Lantis is trapped
inside that other Rune God,
Hikaru and the
others can't fight it.
At this rate, Nova's
going to kill them all!
Zazu! I'm launching!
Please open the hatch!
But... Eagle...
Open it!
Yes, sir!
- [Heavy coughing]
- Are you alright?
- [Wet, hacking cough]
- [Alarmed gasp] Eagle!
[Coughs slightly]
I'm lifting off...
[Startled gasp]
[Strained groans]
I won't let you go!
The only place
you're goin' is sick bay!
[Resigned sigh]
I really wanted to shape Autozam's
future with my own two hands.
But it seems my
time has run out.
[Startled gasp]
Master Mage Clef of
Cephiro... has promised to aid
Autozam... in rebuilding
whether or not I'm the Pillar.
He gave his word.
Therefore, I can't just sit back
and let the Magic Knights die...
Let me go!
No. I'm going, Geo.
[Hacking cough]
When I die, I want
to die as a warrior.
That's my one true wish.
It's for Lantis, isn't it!?
[Frustrated sigh]
Alright Eagle!
FTO, ready for launch!
As of this moment all
command of the NSX will
be transferred to Geo Metro,
the sub-commander!
[Strained groans] Eagle!
Cephiro's true enemy seems
to be more than just Nova.
Please Geo, use this
ship to protect Cephiro…
Forgive me for being
selfish this last time.
[Frustrated, strained groan]
Eagle!
Now, FTO. Go.
[Thrusters whoosh]
[Battle shout]
[Startled gasp]
What can I do?!
Hikaru, why don't you and
me and Lantis play together!
[Shrill laughter]
[Battle shout]
[Booming explosion]
Eagle!
[Frustrated groan]
I hope I'm not interrupting.
Mind if I join you?
[Thunder booms]
Who is it today?
Today, it is Miss Umi!
Hey everyone! Did you
