Magic Knight Rayearth II

Synopsis

Hikaru has a dream of the shadowy woman trying to take Emeraude's crown. Umi and Fuu tell Hikaru that she can confide in them when she is contacted by Nova again. Nova says she hates and will kill everyone Hikaru loves and that Hikaru will meet her soon. The palace is hit by an earthquake as another part of Cephiro vanishes. Umi asks Clef how a Pillar is selected and he takes them to the room containing Emeraude's crown, which Hikaru recognizes from her dream. Clef explains that the crown chooses its owner, it can only be touched by the one worthy of becoming the Pillar and it can only be worn by one with the strength of heart that can support Cephiro. If a worthy one approaches the crown, it will change a shape suitable for its new master. Ferio warns that anyone unworthy who approaches the crown will be killed by the room's living water. Clef says the worthy one does not have to be from Cephiro, the room is on the topmost floor of the castle and protected by a powerful barrier and the door can only be opened by three magic items: his ring, the magic armor worn by Zagato or a magic sword once wielded by Lantis. Hikaru plans to leave the castle by herself to search for someone worthy of being the Pillar, which everyone objects to. She tries to assuage them by saying she'll take Lantis with her but Clef tells them how he'd spent time in Autozam and he still has the magic sword. Hikaru stands by her decision to take him with her. Meanwhile, at a dark palace, the shadowy woman is revealed to be named Lady Debonair. She prepares Nova and Alcyone for their next move.
