Alycone manages to trick Ascot into freeing her from a barrier that was holding her against her will. She promised him to give power to one of his monsters that would kill those Magic Knights. In an open field, Umi is still obessed with her fencing competition that would of been a week away when they originally arrived in Cephiro, even though weeks (or possibly a month) already has passed by. Hikaru suggest if you wish hard enough, maybe you can still make it at your competition, since Cephiro is a land of power. Both Hikaru and Fuu would pray for Umi too. A few yards away, Alcyone gives Ascot power to his monster named ""Luci"", which not only over powers it, but freezes itself, as well as Ascot as well. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu see the snow storm blasting their way, and Umi makes a wish before getting hit. She wants to return to Tokyo. Hikaru and Fuu suffer from hypothermia, and falls to the ground. Then Alcyone stops the weather and hopes that her plan on killing the Magic Knights work
Three young girls, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, are transported to a magical world called Cephiro during a field trip to Tokyo Tower. They are soon greeted by Master Mage Clef, who explains to them that they have been summoned to become the Legendary Magic Knights and save Cephiro. The girls are less than enthusiastic about this idea, and only want to return home. Clef further explains that they must seek out the three Rune Gods to help them fight. He bestows armor and magical powers to each of them. They learn from Clef that High Priest Zagato has kidnapped the Pillar of Cephiro, Princess Emeraude. The Pillar of Cephiro has the sole responsibility of keeping Cephiro alive and in balance with her prayers. Without Princess Emeraude, Cephiro would fall into ruin. Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu must fight off Zagato's henchman and find the Rune Gods if they ever want to get back home. They soon learn that friendship and loyalty are the only things they can rely on in the crumbling Cephiro.
