Magic Knight Rayearth (1994–1995): Season 2, Episode 7 - Sefiro no Hashira no Himitsu - full transcript

- Must be magic!
- Huh?

It didn't seem any different
from Umi's Water Dragon.

I think that thing must
somehow be made out of magic!

[Pained grunt]

[Startled gasps]

[Pained growl]

[Frustrated growl] Why you!

Ha!

[Menacing growl]

[Flames whoosh]

[Startled gasp]
What's going on now!?



[Booming explosion]

[Magic ripples, flame whooshes]

[Magic whoosh]

It disappeared!

What in the world was that?

Good question!

The Secret of the
Pillar of Cephiro

[Water rushes]

[Shadows ripple]

The Pillar of Cephiro
no longer exists.

This country is more fleeting
than shadows dancing on water.

Now Cephiro and everything
alive or dead in this world is mine.

All mine.

[Evil laugh]



Stop it!

- [Maniacal cackle]
- [Panicked scream] Stop it!

- [Magic chimes]
- [Alarmed gasp]

- Puu?
- [Surprised gasps]

Miss Hikaru.

You startled us the way you jumped.
Is anything wrong?

[Panicked gasps]

This is our room.
The one that Clef said

we could use while
we were here in Cephiro.

But what was that
room full of water?

A-And that voice...

That voice that I've been
hearing in my dreams,

even before I was
summoned back to Cephiro.

Whose voice is that?

Tell us what's wrong, Hikaru.

Aren't you feeling very well?

Uh...

Hmm. You might
have a bit of a fever.

Illness is one thing
I know I cannot heal

with my magic, so
take care of yourself.

[Sigh] It's alright.
I'm really okay!

Puu puu, puu!

I'm not sure if I believe
you when you say

you're alright.
You always push yourself.

And whenever you're in pain or exhausted,
you're careful not to let anyone know.

You're always worried
about everyone but yourself.

There's probably nothing less
reliable than when you say you're okay.

Miss Hikaru,
isn't this familiar?

Here we are joining forces to fight
side by side in Cephiro once again.

Each from different schools,
living in different places.

But all the things we
have experienced, are the

things that'll one day be
our most precious memories.

I guess that's true.

I feel that the two of you have become
my closest friends in the whole world.

You are both more dear
to me than anyone else.

My elder sister
recently told me...

Life can be tough if you always try
to face your worries all by yourself.

However, if you're
not alone, and you have

someone to share
your troubles with you,

who can help you see
how to work them out,

then you can release
some of your worries,

and you'll know that
everything will be alright.

If something is bothering
you, Miss Hikaru,

and you feel like you
might need some help,

or someone you can trust to
listen to your troubles for a bit,

you can always count on us!

Oh. Thanks Umi. Thanks Fuu.

Thank you both.

Puu puu! Puu puu puu puu.

Puu puu, puu puu, puu puu!

That goes for you too, Mokona.
You've traveled with us the whole time.

- Puu puu!
- [Giggles]

Mokona! You feel so squeezably
soft and velvety smooth!

[Giggles] I wonder what exactly
Sir Mokona is really made of.

He sure hops around a lot, so I
wonder if maybe it's something bouncy.

Somehow I've always
thought Mokona must be

filled with lots and
lots of marshmallows,

or else maybe whipped cream.

Oh my! That sounds so delicious!

But Miss Umi?
Are you thinking of eating Sir Mokona?

Puuuu!

- Oh!
- Puu puu!

I'd love something
sweet with a cherry on top.

- [Panicked puu-ing]
- Come on Mokona! I'm hungry!

- Puu puu!
- [Laughs]

It's alright Mokona. You don't have
to worry, Umi's not gonna eat you.

Ohohoh!

Well, you never know!

A little snack does sound
pretty good right about now.

- Puu puu!
- C'mere! Come on, Mokona! Just a little bite!

- [Magic chimes]
- Huh?

[Frightened gasp]

[Startled gasp]

Hikaru, you love
those two, don't you?

You! Who are you!?

I hate everyone
that you love, Hikaru.

I hate them. I hate them.

[Startled gasp]

[Giggles]

First of all, I'll start by
killing the two that you love.

Who are you!?
What are you talking about!?

Who am I? [Giggles coyly]

You'll meet me soon. Very soon.

Wait!

[Pained grunt]

Soon. Very, very soon.

[Frightened gasp]

[Booming rumble] [Startled gasp]

[Shattering crash]

What's going on!?

[Frightened shouting]

Hey! Umi, Fuu, Mokona! I don't know
what's happening! Are you guys alright!?

Are we being attacked!?

I believe the ground
itself is shaking.

Cephiro is disappearing.

[Magic chimes]

[Determined grunt]

[Booming rumble]

Another portion of Cephiro
has just been taken away from us.

But Clef...

We now have such
precious little time left.

[Booming knock] Clef!
Clef, are you alright in there!?

Hikaru!

Clef!

Is everybody alright?

Was anyone injured?

Everyone's alright.
How about you three?

Are you okay?

Mmm...

That was a big quake!

I'm afraid Cephiro is disappearing
at a very alarming rate now.

[Alarmed gasps]

There's no time left.

Yeah. [Determined sigh]

If a new Pillar is not born soon,
Cephiro is sure to disappear completely.

The Pillar...

But most of the inhabitants of
Cephiro are already in this castle now.

How and where are
we going to find anymore

candidates that can
become the Pillar?

Hey, how do they determine
who becomes the Pillar, anyway?

Is there some kind of
test you have to take?

Or do you have to have some kind
of qualifications to become the Pillar?

Because you are the Magic Knights,
I guess it is alright to tell you.

[Magic ripples, hums]

[Magic hums]

Where are we?

[Magic hums]

Whoa.

This is the room I saw!

[Frightened gasp]

[Magic chimes]

This is the room I saw!

[Magic chimes, hums]

[Shocked gasp]

Hey, look at that crown!

Is it Princess Emeraude's?

Yes. That crown was
worn by Princess Emeraude.

The sign that she was
the Pillar of Cephiro.

Princess Emeraude...

- The crown itself chooses it's owner.
- Chooses?

This crown can only be
touched by the one who is

utterly worthy of becoming
the Pillar of Cephiro.

Only one whose strength of
heart is able to support Cephiro

may place the crown
upon their head.

It is a living, magic circlet.

It's alive?

Yes.
If one who is worthy approaches the

crown, the crown will
transform into a shape

most suited for it's new master.

The crown is still
in the same shape it

was when Princess
Emeraude ruled over us.

A sign that there is no one yet
worthy of becoming the next Pillar.

Hey! Hold it, Hikaru!

Only those worthy of becoming
the Pillar can enter this room.

I see.

It's the end of you if you step in.
You won't come out alive.

But there's nothing in there.

The crown and the room
itself is protected by it's magic.

Magic?

[Startled gasps]

As you can see, the
water in this room is alive.

That crown is
protected by this room.

Furthermore, those
whose strength of heart

is not approved cannot
even get close to it

However, the one worthy of wearing this
crown does not have to be from Cephiro.

[Amazed sigh]

Then are we inside
the castle right now?

Yes, this is the topmost
floor of the castle.

In order to enter
this sacred place, one

must possess relatively
high magical powers.

You mean there
aren't any stairs?

No. This entire floor is
protected from the rest by a barrier.

You must first break that barrier before
you can even set one foot in here.

Furthermore, the door to this room
will not open without this magic ring.

In that case, Mister Clef, that can only
mean that you alone can open this door.

There are three magic items which
have the power to make this door open.

The first is the
magic ring that I wear.

The second item is the magic plate of
armor that was worn by High Priest Zagato.

And third...

A magic sword that Lantis used when he
served under the princess as Swordsman

before he left Cephiro.

Lantis.

[Thunder booms]

Cephiro.
It was such a beautiful, peaceful land.

And now that it has
finally lost it's Pillar,

it has turned into this
desolate wasteland.

I should have known to
look for you here, Lantis.

This is my favorite spot
to take an afternoon nap.

You are the only Magic
Swordsman we have in Cephiro,

so why are you always
lazing about the place?

You call me the Magic
Swordsman, but in

Cephiro everything is
supported by the Pillar.

And I honestly don't have to
fight monsters until well after dusk,

so why shouldn't I?

Is something wrong, Zagato?

Tell me, Lantis.
What do you think of the Pillar?

Hmm?

Everything about this
world depends on the Pillar.

But what do you think
about this type of system?

Those who become the
Pillar have a heart that

is stronger than anyone
else on this planet.

And so those who
become the Pillar of Cephiro

must also create everything
with their willpower.

And yet, I wonder how really
free their hearts are inside.

Zagato?

[Surprised gasp]

Zagato...

[Thunder booms]

[Thunder booms]

I'm against it!
You shouldn't go out by yourself!

- Absolutely not!
- I'm against the idea as well.

I must agree with them.
It's much too dangerous

to go outside the
castle alone, Hikaru.

But there isn't anyone who can possibly
be the Pillar in this castle, right?

So we've gotta see if anyone
could be somebody left outside.

But it's much too dangerous
to go outside by yourself.

I'm against it as well.

Then I'll go with you.

No way!

I don't think there
should be two Magic

Knights outside the
castle at the same time.

What would happen if
those battleships from

Autozam or Fahren came
back to attack us again?

That is why it would
seem logical for the

three of us to stick
together at all times.

I promise that I'll
be alright, and I'm

sure I'll notice if a
battleship returns.

I'll just call for my Rune
God and rush right back.

You know, I've been
thinking that there might still

be someone stuck out
there who needs some help.

Just like that poor woman Lantis
brought back here the other day.

[Gasp] I've got it! I'll go ask Lantis
if he wants to come along with me.

What do you think about that?

You mean that tall
man in black armor?

The very fact that he saved
that woman the other day

means he must know a lot about
the current condition of Cephiro.

And if he's a Magic Swordsman,
I figure he's gotta be strong.

You agree, right Clef?

Clef?

He is strong indeed.

He has enough magical powers to
be a match for his older brother Zagato.

And his skill as a sword master
is unparalleled in all of Cephiro.

However, Lantis has been in Autozam
during his travels after leaving Cephiro.

In Autozam?

And now Autozam has
begun to invade Cephiro.

And Lantis still has the magic
sword that will let him open this door.

Well I suppose that
everybody might think

I'm naive for thinking
what I'm thinking.

But I don't think that Lantis
is actually such a bad guy!

Please tell me why
you feel that way.

Because of that
sad look in his eyes.

[Startled gasp]

Of course I have
no proof of this.

But his eyes are so
lonely and solitary.

They remind me of
wolves in the winter.

I've decided that I'm
going to go out there, and I

promise that I'll come back
soon, so don't worry about me!

[Thunder booms]

[Evil laughter]

Foolish ones that keep fighting
without even acknowledging my existence.

You'd be far better off simply
waiting quietly for your demise.

Yes, but Hikaru noticed.

That young girl has learned of
our existence through her dreams.

She will ultimately
become our foe.

I wanna go play with Hikaru.

You were born
especially for that one.

Just wait a while longer.
You'll meet her soon.

[Giggles]

I want to play with Hikaru now!

I hate everything Hikaru loves.

I'll paint those two friends
of hers in bright red blood.

I'll lovingly rip
apart her little body.

I hope it's soon.

When the last Pillar, Princess Emeraude,
finally graced us with her death,

who was the one that helped
you escape from the castle?

Who was it?

It was you, my lady.

And who do you owe your life to?

All that I am I owe to
you completely, my lady.

Alcyone, do you detest the High Priest
that did not return your love for him?

Yes.

Your intense hatred is so wonderfully
and deliciously amusing to me.

The hatred of people;
all their pain gives me joy.

It is my power.

You will be of especially good
use to me, my dear Alcyone.

I will do whatever you wish...

Lady Debonair.

[Evil laughter]

[Thunder booms]

[Thunder booms]

Who is it today?

Today, it's Mokona!

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