CHANGES BETWEEN THE JAPANESE AND ENGLISH VERSIONS OF THE GAME
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I got to download an English version of Mahou Kishi Reiasu just recently,
which was Magic Knight Rayearth, which I never thought existed when I first
managed to finish this game and made this FAQ.

  I've had some "looking around" on the English version and found a few major
and minor differences between the two versions.

  The magic translations are different. Some magics were not the exact Jap to
Eng translations, like as if they were just "for the sake". Some dialogues
have also been changed and were quite different from the Japanese version. I
haven't noticed much changes or differences yet. If you see any, please tell
me immediately.

[About This Version]

  Well, this "Beta Version" is the "under major modification" version. It's 
not so well organized and requires major fixing. I'll try to keep up with the 
updates and hopefully, after v0.9x, when this FAQ reaches v1.00, everything's 
going to be new and all. Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions.

                                                                   [Jez Lucas]

INTRODUCTION - MAHOU KISHI REIASU
==============================================================================

  MAHOU KISHI REIASU is Japanese for "MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH". It is a Role 
Playing Game based on the popular TV Anime. It's got basically good graphics 
(but not as good as one might think), and the story goes on just like the 
Anime as well.

  I've tried to make this the most comprehensive and thorough FAQ for Mahou
Kishi Reiasu. I've assumed some knowledge of how to play the game, and
managed to translate some parts of it, especially the Magic part. I haven't
added anything completely new because this is just the very first FAQ I've
made for this game. There are still some incomplete translations, but I'm
working out on those missing parts. I do have the ROM of the English version
as well, which is "MAGIC KNIGHT RAYEARTH", but I never based my translations 
on it, except for the ending script. Check out the differences between the 
English and Japanese versions at [1.2].

  I have tried to translate everything I think is important for the game. I am
self-taught in reading and translating Japanese, and am not a professional and
the best translator there is, so not everything may be exact. In some areas of
the game, I tried to translate their dialogs also, but it may not be that
exact as well. Those dialogs with "...'s" or "(?)'s" are parts I couldn't
translate. Some parts of the dialogs have been "ROUGHLY" translated, meaning
after finding certain words I could read and translate, I tried to combine
their meanings like a jigsaw puzzle to show what they're possibly trying to 
say. If you find any corrections, please tell me right away (THERE MIGHT BE
TONS OF 'EM! ^_^). As I said earlier, I never based my translations on the
English version of the game except for the ending part, so don't e-mail me 
stuffs stating my errors in translation if you only based your translations 
from the English version. Hope you enjoy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY PERSONAL RATINGS FOR THE GAME:

Storyline: 7.7/10 - Yeah, it is based on the Anime, but the plot is just like
                    the old-time rescue-the-princess RPG's. It's not that
                    much of a stereotype, but in one way or another it is.
Graphics:  7.0/10 - It is good compared to old NES games, but somehow, the
                    images are too "soft", and the graphics for the magic
                    attacks kinda sucks. It's somehow impossible to determine
                    if a certain magic is really wind or something else... ^_^
Music:     7.0/10 - It's okay. The music is tollerable. Won't break your 
                    eardrums anyway ^,^.
Game Play: 7.9/10 - Very easy to master. But maybe they could've made it a lot
                    better if they made it longer.

Overall:   7.7/10 - It is enjoyable...

Story
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Magic Knight Rayearth is all about magic and fighting. The main objective of
the game is to save the Princess in the story. But unlike any stereotype
role playing games, the story happens in a different world. The world where
the three Knights get transported into is called Cephiro. They were brought
into the fantasy world by the princess' wish - the life form who possessed
the most power in Cephiro.

  She was Princess Emerald, held captive by the evil Shinto Priest Zagato, 
who had power second to the princess'.

  In order to save the princess, the three ladies must recieve power and bring
the three Mashins together. They meet Clef, a magical sorcerer who gives them
magical powers.

  Then the quest begins to revive the three legendary Mashins to save the
princess from the hands of Zagato.

|A 14 years old red haired girl in  |
|the 9th grade, born on Aug. 8 and  |
|possesses the magic of FIRE given  |

|advantage.                         |

             |_________________________________________|

             When a specific character starts his/her turn to take action in
             battle, a box that looks like a cartoon balloon pops up, pointing
             at the character. It shows that character's current HP, MP, and
             *ST.

             *ST - Status. This shows if your character is poisoned, confused,
             or whatever.
        b.1.0 Fight Types - There are a number of battle start status.
	        a.) Normal - Your party and the enemy's party take turns to attack	
	        b.) "Mikata no Sensei Kougeki" - Party attacks first
	        c.) "Teki no Sensei Kougeki" - Enemy attacks first

        b.1.1 [Attack] - Press "A" on the Attack Option and then select your
              target. This allows your character to perform his/her specific
              attack. A different weapon does a different attack.

              Sometimes, attacks differs. Here are the three different types:

              b.1.2 Normal - Causes the normal damage for your weapon and level
                    "CRUSHING ATTACK" - Causes 25% more damage to the enemy
                    "GREATEST ATTACK" - Usually kills enemies instantly, and
                                        causes around 50% more or more damage

        b.2.0 [Item] - Press right once and then "A". This allows you to use
              a certain item available for battle. Some items will not be allowed
              to be used.

        b.3.0 [Magic] - Press right twice and then "A". This allows you to use
              a certain signature magic spell of your character. Press either
              Up/Down/Left/Right and then "A" to select a spell and press the
              arrow keys to select your target. Press "A" again to perform the
              magic. Each specific magic attack has a subtraction to your "MP".

        b.4.0 [Move] - Press right thrice and then "A". This allows you to change
              your position in battle. See "Formation" for further details.

        b.5.0 [Defense] - Press right four times and then "A". This allows you to
              defend yourself incase you're attacked. It lessens the damage you
              take.
        b.6.0 [Run] - Go ahead scaredy cat. Run away!!! Run away from battle!!!

III. Battle Status/Conditions
       - These are the list of Status changes in the battle field.

        c.1 [Poison] - Your life slowly decreases every turn.

                        CHAPTER ONE: THE MAGIC KNIGHTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The princess has called for the Magic Knights, and now it's up to them to
figure out their destiny...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.1] The Magic Knights
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Treasure Box
Enemies: [MAP] Myconid, Slime, Black Toad [FOREST] Frog, Bee
Boss: Alicione

You see three women lying down on the ground. Those are your main characters.
You then wake up, thinking you came from a field trip from Tokyo Tower.
You will then see the three characters introduce themselves, and then
a little white-haired guy appears. He is Clef - a sorcerer and he tells you
that you are NOT in your world but rather in another one. He asks you to go
to the forest to meet Elf. He says Elf will help you find the treasure deep
in the forest which could get you back home. The forest he's talking about is
located south. He gives you 6 char cubes afterwards. And if you talk to him
again, he'll be kind enough to restore your HP and MP.

Get out of there and go south into the two palm trees. You will see a small
sceen with Inova and Zagato. He tells Inova that the Magic Knights have
arrived. He will order Inova to call forth Alcione to finish off the Knights.
You are now in The Forest of Elel. You will find a save point where you can
save your game. It is the star-like thing. It'll cure you as well. You'll see
a differently-colored tree in the middle and Elf will come out if you talk to
the tree. She says you should go to the tree inbetween the pink and orange
flowers.

After she leaves, go straight up and you'll see a tree inbetween two flowers
which the fairy was talking about a while ago. "Talk" to the tree and Fuu
will say that there is an entrance or gate there in the tree. A hole will open
in the tree and you will appear in another forest. Go straight and into a pool
of water which will heal your HP and MP. Now go back to the point where you
can either choose to go left, right, or up to the pool. Go to either left or
right and make a turn by the plants surrounding the pool and there you'll see
a treasure chest. Go to it and you'll be back on the map.

You're now outside the map. Go back to the mountain where you met Clef.Talk to
Clef.He will explain that the only way to go back to their world is by being
the Magic Knights and getting back the princess. He explains that Cephiro is
slowly dying due to the princess' disappearance, and also, monsters started
to show up everywhere. Cephiro needs the princess' prayers to retain the
planet's life.

After a while, Clef shouts "ACCEPT" and gives the three their specific element
magics. He comes closer to Hikaru and gives her the ability to use her element
magic, which was FIRE. But then Zagato shows up and attacks, and Umi and Fuu
have not recieved theirs yet!

Alicione appears in the sceen and Clef summons a Griffin, asking you to go
and find Presea's house.

A cerberus-like dog appears and Clef defends himself, while Alicione goes 
after you. She catches up and does battle with you!

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Alicione}
Attacks: Icicle Pierce
         Ice Blizzard
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

Just use Hikaru's "Honoo no ya" (Arrow of Flame) magic and she's a gonner. ^_^
==============================================================================

Now you'll land near a village and then the Griffin disappears. Now go inside
the village and search for Presea's house.

         ________
________/ 3.0-II \____________________________________________________________
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             CHAPTER TWO: THE QUEST FOR THE MAGIC KNIGHTS WEAPONS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Now they know their destiny. They need special weapons on their journey to
successfully complete their mission. Will they be able to find them?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.2] In Search of Presea's House
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Treasure Box
Enemies: [MAP] Black Purin, Cockatris, Mold, Black Toad

Inside the town, talk to the people around. They will give you some info's
and one of them will also talk about Presea. An old lady speaks of the Escudo,
a special alloy that could be turned into weapons by a magic swordsmith. Now
go to the save point by the well to save your game and then start to head east
across the bridge. Go around the mountains and you'll see an elevated platform
with stairs so go up there and you'll see a big house to the east. Enter it.

Your characters call for Presea but no one answers so Umi knocks and then the
gate opens. As you go in, take the path to the right and you'll be captured by
Mokona, a weird and fluffy rabbit-looking thing.

Presea enters and then laughs. She finds out that you  don't come from Cephiro
and then heads to the wall and pushes the switch and lets you out. She then
introduces herself as Presea, the blacksmith of Cephiro. She knows then that
you are the Magic Knights and tells you that she will give you temporary
weapons. Hikaru says "Arigatou" (Thank You) and then Presea says that those
are only borrowed weapons and that you should go find a different metal alloy
called Escudo, which you will need to give to her in order for her to make
your powerful magical weapons. Mokona chooses s Magic Knight to go with, and
tends to choose Hikaru. Mokona will show you through the Woods of Silence.

Once outside, you meet Lafarga - the princess' guardian who swore to get her
back. He asks for a sword from Presea to beat Zagato. Then you get out of
Presea's place and back to the map. Go down the highland and then head east
by the trees and enter the two palm trees.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.3] Woods of Silence
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Char Cubes x4, Earrings (you get from Ferio)
Enemies: [Forest] Wasp, Mold, Cockatris
Boss: Flower (x2), Alicione

Let me describe this place first. Wondering why it's called the "Woods of
Silence"? That's because in this forest, you are "Silenced", meaning you can't
chant magic words to be able to use your magic, so you can only use regular
attacks here.

You need to pass through here in order to reach the Spring of Eterna where the
Escudo is located.

Before you really enter, Mocona sets up a magical hotel which I call the
"Mocona Hotel". You'll be healed then and a new option replaces the "???" on
your menu.

After that, enter the forest and talk to Mocona who will show you which way to
go. But then the path has mysteriously desappeared.Go all the way north until
you see a treasure chest and grab it. Go west until you find a path where a
plant monster blocks the way. Save by the save point and then go to the plant
monster. You'll be given a choice of fighting it or not. Choose "Hai" (Yes,
which is the first option) and fight.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Flower}
Attacks: Poison
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

Attack it with normal attacks. It won't be much trouble. You have no other
choice anyway, right? ^_^
==============================================================================

Another Flower arrives but is easilly sliced by a green-haired guy. He is
Ferio and he joins you to find the Spring of Eterna. And take note: Ferio is
SUPER STRONG! He does about a thousand damage to the enemy!

Next, follow Mocona's direction (the twinkkling star). Just follow the path
and you'll eventually meet another Flower.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Flower}
Attacks: Poison
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

Attack it with normal attacks. It won't be much trouble. You have no other
choice anyway, right? ^_^
==============================================================================

Then another Flower sneaks behind Fuu but Ferio saves her. Eventually, you'll
reach Alicione. Umi trys to beat her by herself, but she was powerless against
the sorceress. Then it's Hikaru's turn to fight.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Alicione}
Attacks: Icicle Pierce
         Ice Blizzard
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

You can either loose to this fight or win. The same outcome happens. Just use
regular attacks or magics or just let yourself be killed. Afterwards, a small
fight sceen will happen between you as Umi receives her power.
==============================================================================


Clef then speaks to the Magic Knights (specially to Umi) through Mocona and
then gives Umi her magic - which was WATER. She must use it to help  Hikaru
defeat Alicione. Again, another fight will clash. This time, it's three
against one!

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Alicione}
Attacks: Icicle Pierce
         Ice Blizzard
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

This time you can already use magic, so use Hikaru's Hien no Mai (Fire Robe).
Now take advantage of Umi's new magic power, the Mizu no Ryuu (Water Dragon).
Since you have Char Cubes, use Fuu for healing purposes.
==============================================================================


After you defeat her, she vanishes and Clef enters Mocona again and gives Fuu
the power of WIND in order to heal her wounded friends. Ferio will then leave
your party, realizing that you are the real Magic Knights. He wanted to become
one, but then knew that you are really the deserving and chosen ones, so he
leaves. But as he leaves, Fuu becomes depressed so he gives her a "Ferio
Piece". Finally, he waves a warm "Sayonara" to all.

Then something cute happens. Hikaru and Umi seem to realize that Fuu likes
Ferio, but she denies it! ^_^

Finally, you'll be on the other side of the palm trees. Now head for the
Spring of Eterna.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.4] Spring of Eterna
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now once you're there, get into the spring. You'll see a little sceen where
Zagato banishes Alcione because of her weakness.

Now, the three have been separated. You've got to choose the character you'll
be using first. I'll go in the default order.


***NOTE: In this part of the game, the bosses will be the most important thing
in the Magic Knight's life for her. ^_^

******************************************************************************
Hikaru's
******************************************************************************

Treasures: Heart Cube x3, Char Cube x3,
Enemies: Brain Mush, Glow Mold
Boss: Hikari Copy

Hikaru wakes up in a weird place. Go to the treasure chest's place and open it
and go back to the farthest right side of the second row (go straight to the
right till you hit the wall). Notice the 2 crystals just above you. Notice
that they're different from the others. They have two glows of light (the
reflection-like glow) in them unlike the others which only had one. If you get
to touch these types of crystals, they shatter. Now go through it.

Next, get the other chest. Then go through the path where the wall crumbles
and you'll eventually reach a HEAL (not save) spot.

Just go on and follow the path wherever it leads you. Just keep in mind that
you should look for the different-looking crystal.

Eventually, you'll reach the end and meet Hikari there - Hikaru's dog (and
friend) from earth. Next, Emerald will appear, telling Hikaru to think that
that it is a fake Hikari, because her dog would never attack her.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Hikari Copy}
Attacks: Bite              
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:

Hikari's HP's just around 2000, so five normal attacks will do. If not, use
magic as well.
==============================================================================

                       ---END OF HIKARU's SCEENARIO---

******************************************************************************
Umi's
******************************************************************************

Treasures: Char Full, Heart Cube x2
Enemies: Lamian, Glow Mold
Boss: Umi's Papa, Umi's Mama (Copies)

Umi becames aware that she is alone also and hears a voice that tells her to
follow the path. The way to get to the goal here is by shattering the crystal
walls also (See Hikaru's sceen). There is also another type of crystal which
has larger glows. If you touch it, you get to fight two lamians which can
easily be defeated by using Dragon Wave.

As you follow the path, you'll reach some treasure boxes and also a heal spot.
Level up Umi to become more powerful. 

It's not a very hard to find your way. Just break the crystals and you'll soon
reach the boss.

Umi goes to her parents but they attack her. Emerald appears and tells her to
be strong and that they are just copies.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Umi's Papa, Umi's Mama}
Attacks: Papa: Blue Wave
         Mama: Red Wave
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Sweep them away ^_^ with two Kairyuu no Nami (Dragon Wave) and they're dead.
==============================================================================

                       ---END OF Umi's SCEENARIO---

******************************************************************************
Fuu's
******************************************************************************

Treasures: Wind Stock x5, Heart Cube x3
Enemies: Wasp, Mandrake
Boss: Fuu

Fuu wakes up and realizes that she's in some kind of dungeon. Just follow the
path to the treasure chest and take note of the glows of the crystals. Just
follow the paths leading to the treasure chests and the heal spot. Level up
if you want.

Soon, you'll be at the boss area. And there, you'll fight who or what Fuu
loves the most... HERSELF!!!

Emerald appears also and tells her to be strong and that that is just a copy
of her. Then afterwards, you'll have to fight YOURSELF.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Fuu's Copy}
Attacks: Bow & arrow shot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
This one's tricky if you don't know what you're doing. Each time you attack
the copy, you get hurt yourself. But magic has no backfire on you, so bring
down the enemy with all you've got!!! MAGIC POWER! Heal at times you need it.
==============================================================================

                       ---END OF Fuu's SCEENARIO---


Finally, after you finish all three TRIALS, Presea comes, and, as you give her
the Escudo, makes your weapons with the metal, also for defeating the thing
most precious to you and for being strong. You'll see cute, little Presea
dance around and then followed by a graphical pic! ^_^

And now, guess what? Weapon and armor change!!! :)

She then tells you to go to the South Seashore.

                   _________

           CHAPTER THREE: THE REVIVAL OF THE LEGENDARY MASHINS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Now that they have their weapons, they must continue on to revive their only
chance against Zagato, which are the legendary Mashins of Cephiro. But will
they be able to get passed through the heavy challenges that are in stored for
them?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.5] Village
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enemies: [Map] Brain Mush, Black Purin, Flora, Hornet

Now head south, passing through some mountains and unto the bridge with a red
gem on it. A little bit more of walking and you'll finally reach a village. Go
there and then talk to people to get some information.

The Item Shop by the bar sell these:

        ---See ITEMS SECTION for the effects of the ITEMS---


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.6] South Seashore
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now get out of the village and go straight south to the shore. Here, Mocona
makes a "Flying Bowl" and you all get to board it. Unfortunately, it crashes
and you end up under the sea in a cave.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.7] Under the Sea
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Heart Cube x5, Blast Stock x9, Shadow Smoke x3, Origin Cube,
Poiz Seed x2
Enemies: Blood Jelly, Red Snaker, Lizard Man 
Boss: Fezier

Star Cube (x5), FuseCore (x9), Smoke (x3), Root Cube, PoisSeed (x2)
Get the treasures on both the left and right sides once you begin to gain
control of your characters. For the first time in the game, the level
difficulty in this place has increased, which means you'll have a possibility
of DYING in a battle if you're not so strong enough. The enemies are hard, so
you might as well prefer to use magical attacks. It is best to use Fuu's
Kaze no Ikari (Wind's Anger) to lower down the enemies' HP and then attack
physically or combo Fuu's magic with Umi's Tairyuu no Nami (Dragon Wave).

Once you're on the the second level, you could go to the right side for a
treasure and to the left for a SAVE-HEAL POINT. Use the save point to your
advantage. Since the enemies are difficult, try levelling up above level 20
and you shouldn't have much problems with the enemies afterwards.

After a couple of level-ups, go through the right passage to get through the
third level of the dungeon. Go left to grab a treasure, then continue on the
path going north. You will be in an intersection where there are three paths
to take. Go east and then north and you'll end up in an area with many cave
like openings. Go directly to the west where you'll reach a SAVE-HEAL POINT
and right above it is a treasure chest. Grab it. Again, if you wish to be a
lot stronger, level-up. After you're done, go to the second opening to the
left door. Go straight passing through the bridge and you'll get to the
"Temple of Water".

Umi says that a Mashin sleeps in this area. She disappears after and the rest
looks for her.

Walk straght. After you reach the first intersection, go left to find 2 chests
and then right to find another one. Now go back to the center and head forward
and the two start to walk towards Umi-chan, calling her name. Mokona stops
them for some reason. Then and you'll see a dragon, and Umi seems to talk to
him. He is celes, a Mashin that only the Magic Knights are allowed to touch.

And then a new face appears. He is Ascot, one of Zagato's henchmen ordered to
kill the Magic Knights. He is a Monster Summoner. He shouts "MAXIMA!" and a
green monster shows up. You try to stop it but another one shows up. It
throws you away and towards the altar.

Umi gets really angry. She shouts "Mizu no Ryuu!" and shoots one of the beasts
with her Water Dragon. The other monster was to attack, but Umi then shouts
"Aoi Tatsumaki!" and sends forth a ravaging water tornado towards the lizard.

Ascot gets really angry this time and sends another monster to attack Umi from
behind. Fuu pushes Umi and gets hurt instead. Then Hikaru goes into battle but
she looses from the enemy.

Now Umi gets into a rage and Ascot sends out a monster infront of Umi. Umi
gets mad because she says that Ascot hurt her two, best friends. Then a fight
starts as Umi battles alone to protect her friends.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Fezier}
Attacks: Fire Breath
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
He can hurt you with his burn attack, so protect with Umi's barrier. Then
attack him with physical and magical attacks and you should be able to 
beat him in no time.
==============================================================================

After you beat him, Umi permanently gets rid of Fezier. Ascot then tries to
stop her because he says that the monsters he calls upon are his friends. But
then Umi makes him realize that if he was a friend of them, he wouldn't even 
push them through a fight where they'll surely get hurt. He then summons his 
monsters back and asks for forgiveness. After that, Umi makes him realize that
Zagato is only using him. After all the scenes, the dragon calls Umi and says 
that she has passed the test and is therefore worthy to weild his powers. He 
then heals the Knights and then goes into Umi's body and then the Knights'
weapons and armor changes. Afterwards, Ascot decides to join the Magic 
Knights.

A scene will take place wherein  the enemies realize Ascot has betrayed 
Zagato. But then Caldina (She says she's pretty and she's got a nice body)
appears and says she'll take care of everything. She then sets off to get the 
Magic Knights.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.8] Back to the Village
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enemies: [Map] Brain Mush, Black Purin, Flora, Hornet
Boss: [Village] Death Flower (x4)

Go back to the town south west of a mountain. As you enter, you'll see an old 
lady attacked by four Death Flowers. Then a fight initiates.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Death Flower (x3)}
Attacks: Poison
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
This is very easy. For Ascot, attack with "Maxima". For Umi, use her "Koori no
Ranbu" (Ice Dance). As for Fuu, use "Kaze no Ikari" (Anger of the Wind). And
as for Hikaru, just use her "Honoo no Inseki" (Sealed Gateway of Flames).
==============================================================================

After you beat them, the last of the four monsters again attacks the old lady.
But Ascot summons a monster ("Maxima") and kills the Death Flower. He is then
mocked by the villagers realizing he was a monster summoner. He then explains
that he is friends with the monsters he summons and they are good monsters.
Umi also defends him and so does the old woman for helping her. He feels
great that Umi defended her (looks like he has feelings for her ^_^). The
civilians then understand and they take off to continue their everyday
work. After all the drama, go to the Mountain of No Return near the town.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.9] Mountain of No Return
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The door is locked. Head back to the village.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.10] Back to the Village (AND THEN AGAIN)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Gate Key

Go back to the village and go to the elder's house (NW). Get the Gate Key
from him and then go back to the mountain.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.11] Mountain of No Return
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Blast Stock x5, Blaze Stock x2, Heart Cube x3, Char Full x3
Enemies: Giant Wasp, Scorpion Man, Shulicar

Go straight until you get to the stairs. Next, climb up the second stairs
then go into the cave on right. Grab the treasure and exit the cave. Nest, go
all the way to the left (opposite of the cave you were into) and then inside
the cave. Grab the treasure again and exit. Next, go up through another 
stairway to reach a Spring of Recovery. The enemies here are again quite hard,
so you might as well level-up, especially Ascot who suddenly got *A LOT* 
weaker, giving only 1 damage per normal attack. (Although I think he's got no
hope at all, being a character whose Attack Points at level 31 ranges from 
49-53 only compared to the others who's got around 150+. But his powerful 
magic makes up for his feebleness.)

Now go back to the second stairway. Now head up right from where you got the
right--side treasure. Go up to the cave above it to get a treasure. Now the
cave right above that cave is another spring. Go iiif you want. Now go to the
way going to the top of the mountain where a tornado will suck your party to
the Maze of Wind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.12] Maze of Wind
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Char Cube x7, Heart Cube x5, Heart Full, Wind Stock, Origin Cube, 
Char Full
Enemies: Grayorz, Cucko Dew, Harpy, Sateiros, Rock
Boss: Caldina, Hikaru, Umi

Follow Mocona! When you reach the path where you could either go south west or
north, take the south west path. Keep going and step on the hexagram which 
will warp you to a place where there are two treasure chests. Grab them.

Now step on the other star. Then go south and then teleport. Go to the east 
star and grab the treasure. Now go back by stepping on the star. Go all the 
way north to the star and then head west to reach the previous teleporter you 
came from. 

This time, go back to your starting location by steppping on the stars once
more (the place where you got to choose which way to go (N or SW). Go north.

Warp, then teleport again to the south hexagram. Follow the path to the west.
Go west untill you reach the wider north pathway and go north. There will be
three pathways for you to take. Go to them in any order to get the treasures 
and then go back and take the less wider north pathway. You will reach the 
"Temple of the Sky".

Fuu enters the Temple in search of the Mashin. Ascot says he has to leave to 
go back to the old lady he saved.

The two enter alone. But they did not know that Caldina is waiting for them
inside the temple. They fight her two against one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Just use Hikaru's "Shiroki Senkou" (White Beam Flash) and have Umi cast "Koori
no Ranbu" (Ice Dance).
==============================================================================

Caldina disappears temporarily. Now head north and when you reach the 
intersection, go east and west to grab the treasures. Then go back to the 
intersection and head north where you'll find Windam, the four bird-winged
Mashin who possesses the power of the Wind with Fuu.

The three Magic Knights will meet again, but something happens! Hikaru and
Umi falls down. Then As Fuu tries to help them, they attack her!

Calldina appears. It seems that Hikaru and Fuu are under her spell!

Attacks: Hikaru: Flame Arrow
         Umi: Water Dragon

Just die. Let them finish you off and you'll fight Caldina! :)
==============================================================================

Fuu will again wake up and cast "IMashinu no Kaze" (Command of the Wind)on her
two friends to "encage" them. Caldina will then force them again to attack Fuu
but ends up being exhausted and the two will fall to the ground. Now Fuu then
becomes under Caldina's spell and attacks herself with "Midori no Shitsupu"
(Green Gale). Fuu gets mad and fights Caldina's magic and now it's time for 
her to fight Caldina one-on-one!

******************************************************************************

{Caldina}
Attacks: Cresta

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Cast "Mamori no Kaze" (Wind of Protection) and attack with "Kaze no Ikari"
(Anger of the Wind).
==============================================================================

Then Caldina will realize that her doings were evil and explains to Fuu about
Zagato, Emerald, and Sephiro. 

Windam will dive into Fuu and then the party's armors and swords will upgrade.
A small scene of run and chase between Caldina and Umi will occur ^_^.

Now a scene with Zagato takes place. He says that Mashin Celes and Mashin
Windam have been awakened, and that there were already two of them, and only
one remains.

Then he goes up to a pool where the princess is. She tries to convince Zagato
to stop his madness since Cephiro is slowly dying. He says he doesn't care
about Cephiro, then Lafarga shows up and challenges Zagato. He looses and then
Priest Zagato fires a twinkling little star on him and then he starts to fall
under Zagato's hypnotic power. He orders him to eliminate the Magic Knights.

Now, back to the Knights, Caldina offers her "services" for the Knights for
30,000 gold. Well, go for her offer. You won't be using that gold much anyway!

Now head back to the village.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.13] Village
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Orb of Maxima
Enemies: [Map] Brain Mush, Black Purin, Flora, Hornet, Red Snaker, Florence,
Mold, Cockatris

Go into the old lady's house (NE) and talk to Ascot. He will give you the "Orb 
of Maxima" which will allow you to summon monsters. Now after that, exit the 
village and head west across the bridge to the other continent. Go all the way 
to the west past the town where you'll see a castle on high ground. That is
Emerald's castle. What's in there? TREASURES!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.14] Emerald's Castle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Blast Stock x1, Web Stock x1, Wind Stock x2, Blaze Stock x2,

Just search the entire castle for trasures. They're no hard to find. Nothing
much here than the treasures. Afterwards, get out again. Head north until
you see a bridge. Pass through it and then go into the Volcano.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.15] Volcano
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Treasures: Shadow Smoke x1, Soul Core x4, Blast Stock x5, Wind Stock x2,

Blaze Stock x2, Char Cube x1, Poiz seed x1, Soft Seed x1
Enemies: White Tiger, Floren, Feizer,War Plant, Dragon Newt, Behemoth
Boss:

Go into the cave s right in front of you, then go to the far left and take the
stairs going up to reach another cave where a treasure is. Just follow the
stairways to the very left's and right's. Eventually, you'll reach a Water 
Spring. Level up is desired (Well, I did ^_-;). Near the spring, you'll be
able to see the gateway to the dungeon. Find your way there (It ain't hard to
reach it :)). 

Once inside, go to the right and up and you'll see a tablet on the wall which
says "The Holy Road continues beyond the wall..."

Go back from where you entered the cave and then this time head east. You'll
reach an intersection where you can either go north or east. Head east and 
then go rake the right path where you'll see a button. Slam it hard! :)

The flowing magma will vanish and an entrance opens up. Do not go in yet. But
go west and do the same thing with the other switch, and then the other switch
west of that.

Now get inside the caves in the order of Last-opened-cave to First-opened cave
where the first caves contains treasures, while the last one is another 
"entrance" into another part of the dungeon.

Go left where you'll be able to get a treasure. Now go all the way right and
you'll see another treasure. Next, go left again and save. Level-up if you
wish. Head all the way to the west and then north. Eventually, you'll reach
an area with lots of caves.

Go to the third door to grab a chest. If you wish for total nothingness, head
to the second door (pretty stupid). The fourth door holds a treasur, and the
dead end to the east has a treasure too.

Go back and enter the first cave. Follow the path and eventually, you'll reach
a treasure chest. Then just keep on following the path and finally, you'll be
able to reach the Temple of Fire!

Hikaru disappears and you can't follow her because a mysterious force blocks
your way.

Lafarga appears and the Knights welcome him, not realizing that he's not there
to help them, but rather, to destroy them under the will of Zagato.

******************************************************************************
Boss Fight
******************************************************************************
{Lafarga}
Attacks: Sword
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
DIE, or you'll have to fight him again each time you win.
==============================================================================

Then the scene changes to Hikaru being called by Rayearth inside the temple.
(Hmm... the Temple's colors doesn't match. It's ugly ^_^) Go get the left and
right side treasures and then head to the "altar" where Rayearth is. He  tells
you that you cannot become a Magic Knight yet because your allies/friends are
still outside the temple, defeated.

Get the treasures surrounding the Mashin's altar then head outside to get your
friends. You are then attacked suddenly by Lafarga! Rayearth tells you to let 
your friends die(It's a test, duh? ^_-), but Hikaru doesn't agree with him so 
she defends her friends from Lafarga's attacks. Hikaru falls but Rayearth
comes and helps you out. Again, you fight Lafarga.

******************************************************************************

******************************************************************************
{Lafarga}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Just around ten sword slashes and he's gone. Use magic if you want.
==============================================================================

Rayearth sees that you've got a good heart by risking your life for your best
friends and then he gives you his power. Now all three of you become Magic
Knights!!!!

Lafarga then speaks of a Lake where Zagato's castle is located. It's across 
the bridge south-east of it.

If you have Caldina in your party, she'll be leaving in a flying bowl towards 
a nearby town. After she does that, Lafarga then joins your party.

A little scene takes place between Inova and Zagato. Inova swears that he'll
protect Zagato no matter what the cost!

                     CHAPTER FOUR: THE FINAL BATTLE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.16] Lake
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once here, Mocona flies you towards Zagato's castle. You'll reach an Island
with an entrance. Go in there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.17] Cave
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Char Full x1, Char Cube x1, Heart Cube x1
Enemies: Gray Golem, Scorpion King, Bick Gorn

Once inside, follow the path until you reach the spot where you can either go
north or east. Go east for a treasure then head back and go north. Again, go
through the path until you reach a spot where you can either go south or west. 
Go west for a treasure and then go south from where you are for another chest.
Eventually, you'll reach a teleportation spot. Get in it to go to the Mirror
Maze.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.18] Mirror Maze
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Heart Full x7, Char Full x4, Soul Core x2, Blast Stock x2
Enemies: Bengar Jack, Harpy King, Chimaera, Brizea,
Boss: Inova, Cerberus

Once here, go right and you'll see three mirrors. One of those mirrors is 
different from the others. That's what you need to look out for in this place.
Those are mirror doors. Enter it.

Now enter the mirror to the right for a treasure. Now go back and head left.
Go inside the last mirror at the very left side. Once in it, go all the way 
to the right to and then step forward to get into another cubicle/room. You'll
see a save spot where I advise you to level-up. Have Lafarga past the 30+ 
level. Now go up the stairs.

From where you are standing, go left and right to get treasures. Head back to 
the center and head forward until you reach the first "BLOCK"/"TILE" by the
end of the intersection. Head straight to the right until you are right above 
the treasure. Get it and go back to the "first block" where you came from THE
SAME WAY YOU WENT TO GET THIS TREASURE. Why do I sound very careful? Well, in
this part of the dungeon, you get "teleported" somewhere else if you step on
the wrong block.

Head south, but be careful not to step at the tile right at the right side
of the south entrance pathway. Follow the path until you reach the very end of
the south pathway. Head east (the second path; the one at the end. Keep on
following the path until you're in a place where you could go west to a place
with mirrors. Enter thet to get treasures, then head back to where you came
from and go into the small east pathway where you get to enter through the
back of a mirror. You'll be in a treasure room! Get everything! :) Now go back 
and follow the path to the north which leads to a path to the east and then 
south also where you'll get to face Inova. He says he will do anything for his
master, Shinto Priest Zagato.

******************************************************************************

******************************************************************************
{Inova}
Attacks: Shadow Burn

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Use Hikaru's "Honoo no Ken" (Sword of Blaze), Umi's "Aoi Kiba" (Blue Fang),
and Lafarga's sword to attack. Let Fuu cast "Midori no Tsubasa" (Green Wings)
for defense and "Midori no Chikara" (Green Force) for healing purposes. If
your party's HP is okay enough, you can also use Fuu's "Mashin no Kaze" (Wind
of the Mashin)for offense.
==============================================================================

After you beat him, he says: "Zagato-sama! Anata no tameni... Magic Knight wo!
(Zagato-sama! For your sake...)

He turns into a cerberus, a two-headed dog (actually, a cerberus is supposed
to have three... hmm... oh well! ^_-;). You get to fight him again!

and Lafarga's sword to attack. Let Fuu cast "Midori no Tsubasa" (Green Wings)
for defense and "Midori no Chikara" (Green Force) for healing purposes. If
your party's HP is okay enough, you can also use Fuu's "Mashin no Kaze" (Wind

==============================================================================

After you kill it, Lafarga shouts "Everyone, duck!" because the beast explodes
and a massive explosion occurs.

Now head to the exit and Lafarga will say that it's now time to take on the
castle of Zagato. But the Magic Knights don't want him involved so they ask him 
to leave.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[3.19] Zagato's Castle (Finally!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasures: Origin Cube x3, Char Full x3, Heart Cube x8, Char Cube x5, Heart 
Full x3,
Enemies: Kick Rock, Wingzer, Iron Golem, Madmad, Black Dragon, Powered Chimaera
Boss: Alicione, Cerberus (x2), Zagato, Zagato Mashin, Emerald Mashin

Once inside, you'll see a save spot. Save and then head forward where Alcione
will block your way.

Alcione: "At long last"
Hikaru: "You!!"

Alcione says that you've made her angry because Zagato disowned her after she
was defeated by the Magic Knights. And now it's payback time! She releases
two cerberus and they all attack you.

******************************************************************************

                   Ice Blizzard
                   Deep Freeze
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Let Fuu cast "Midori no Tsubasa" (Green Wings) for defense and "Midori no 
Chikara" (Green Force) for healing purposes, if needed. The thing to remember
here is to finish off the two Cerberus first before killing Alcione, or it 
will be very hard to win. Have Hikaru cast "Shinku no Rasen" (Deep Crimson 
Helix) or "Honoo no Sakebi" (Blaze Cry). As for Umi, it will be advisable to 
let her cast "Aoki Houkou" (Blue Direction). Be on watch with your HP's for

Alcione's ice attacks deals heavy damage, especially when followed by the two
dogs' Fire Breath. Sooner or later, the dogs will die and you'll have a three
on one match against Alcione. This time have Hikaru attack with "Honoo no Ken" 
(Sword of Blaze), Umi with "Aoi Kiba" (Blue Fang), and Fuu with "Mashin no 
Kaze" (Wind of the Mashin).
==============================================================================

Alcione: "I lost again--- You don't have any weakness--- Zagato Sama--- Zagato 
Sama!"

Save your game. Continue going straight forward until you see a sceen where
Alcione runs towards the Cephiro Pillar, where the Emerald Princess was. She
blames her for Zagato likes the princess rather than Alcione. She says she did
everything she could just to have Zagato. She says she even betrayed her magic
teacher Clef just to be with Zagato, but Emerald was in the way. She attacks
Emerald and says that she has to be punished so as to get even with her. But 
Zagato shouts "STOP, Alcione!" and fires an energy blast on her and she dies.
Zagato then tells Emerald that he'll finish the Magic Knights off by himself.

Once inside the castle, go in through the first room to the left to grab a
treasure. Then follow the leftmost pathway until you reach a staircase.

Now go south to get a treasure chest. Head back and this time go east and
keep following the path and you'll find another chest. Go through the stairs.

You'll end up in an area wherein when you go north, there would be three
entrances. Go to the third one for a freasure.

Then keep going south folloing the path that will lead you to another 
stairway. As you follow the path, you'll reach another stairway. Take it.

Go south for a treasure, then head north and keep going and take the stairs.

Just keep following the path and then take the stairs at the end (This is
ONE "STAIR-y" dungeon!!!).

Go south until you reach the save point. SAVE and make a few level-ups until
around level 60 or so.

Afterwards, head east and go inside the north room and grab the treasures.
Go into the next room, and you'll hear the voice of Zagato!

Zagato: "Well, nice of you Magic Knights to stop by here!"
Hikaru: "Who's there? Show yourself!"

Then Zagato appears...

Zagato: "I, Priest Zagato--- Welcome, Magic Knights."
Umi: "You're Zagato?!"
Fuu: "For the sake of Princess Emerald and Cephiro, we'll defeat you!"
Zagato: "Hmmph--- I will end the legend of the Magic Knights!

And then a fight takes place!

Strategy:
Let Fuu cast "Midori no Tsubasa" (Green Wings) for defense and "Midori no 
Chikara" (Green Force) for healing purposes, if needed. Cast "Aoi Kiba" (Blue
Fang) using Umi, and then "Honoo no Ken" (Sword of Blaze) using Hikaru. Have
Fuu cast "Mashin no Kaze" (Wind of the Mashin) if your HP is okay.

*If you want something new, loose this battle and then Hikaru will try waking
up the other Magic Knights. Then Zagato will shout "Stratos" and then send off
two whirlwind at you and then you will vanish, and a narration will begin,
saying that the Magic Knights weren't able to save the princess and Cephiro,
beaten off by Zagat. And then the game IS OVER ^_^.
==============================================================================

Hikaru: "At last, we've---?"

But then Zagato regenerates and stands up again.

Umi: "Revival!?/Restoration!?"

Zagato shouts "Lexas!" and sends off two whirlwinds at you.

Hikaru: "Aaaah!"
Zagato: Come now, Magic Knights, stand up."
Hikaru: "Ungh! Try to stand, Umi-chan, Fuu-chan!"
Umi: "S--------So. If we defeat Zagato, we would be saved!"
Fuu: "Yes. For the sake of all who have helped us, let us save princess 
     Emerald!"

Hikaru says that they're going to get the princess back to have her pray for
the peace of Cephiro and starts a conversation with Zagato. Then Zagato then 
shouts "Diablo!" and then sends out three projectiles at you.

He says something about the princess of Cephiro and Cephiro itself, and the
decision that has to be made. He doesn't want the princess to live a life of
just praying in Cephiro's pillar, no freedom... He then calls upon his own 
Mashin... specially made just for you... and your death ^_^!

Fuu: "That's--- that's a Mashin!?"
Zagato: "Not only the Magic Knights have Mashins..."

A little conversation will start, wherein Zagato says that you could only have
Emerald if you kill him. Then fight!!!

*Again, if you loose, a unique sceen will take place.
==============================================================================

Zagato: "E-me-rald be free--" 

Then Zagato disappears and Emerald realizes that her beloved Zagato has been
killed.

Emerald: "Zagato! No, Just like this? Aaaaaah!"

She transforms into her darkside!

Emeald: "-----Magic Knights---------- There is no forgiveness (to what you 
	  did), Magic Knights!"

The sceen cuts with Hikaru rejoicing, saying that finally they've beaten
Zagato and has now granted Princess Emerald's wish. Fuu says that Cephiro 
will now once again return to it's peacefulness and tranquility. Then Umi 
says that finally, they could go home and asks the two to now go to Emerald. So 
head north to the Pillar of Caphiro.

Hikaru asks Emerald she was and then Emerald speaks: "It is I, Emerald of 
Cephiro"
Umi: "You're Princess Emerald? But when I saw in the Spring of Eterna you
     were little?"
Fuu says that still, this lady and the Emerald they knew were similar, and 
Hikaru speaks also, then Emerald seems odd.

Emerald: "---Zagato---------"
Hikaru: "Zagato is no more---"
Emerald: "---Zagato---------"

Something *VERY* odd happens to the princess. It seems all clear now! She 
was never taken by Zagato! She came by the pillar to pray for Cephiro, but 
could not get her mind off the Shinto Priest Zagato because she has 
feelings for him.

Hikaru: "Princess Emerald?"

Emerald says that now you've killed Zagato, you should pay for that!

Emerald: "That is unforgivable!"
Umi: "Kyaaaa!"

The pillar shakes and someone hits the princess.

???: "Ma---gic---Knights---Stop---"
Emerald: "Ungh!"
Hikaru: "Rayearth!"

A conversation with the Mashins starts. Then Emerald gets REALLY MAD for what 
you did to Zagato.

Emerald: "Prepare yourselves, Magic Knights!"

==============================================================================

Dark Side Emerald laughs.

Hikaru: "W-why?"

Then Princess Emerald appears, calling on the Magic Knights.

Umi: "Princess Emerald! I thought you've turned into a Mashin..."
Emerald: "No,...(then she asks you to finish her off for her sake so that she
      would finally be with Zagato for that was the only way she could forever 
	be with him. A conversation begins.)"

Hikaru: "Like that? Well then, why did you call us here in the first place?"

Emerald tells that the princess of Cephiro should never fall in-love for that 
was forbidden, for the princess' duty was to pray for Cephiro at all times.
Her duty was to pray for Cephiro always but she couldn't get Zagato off her
mind and Cephiro's slow destruction was all her fault, and now turns into her 
dark side. She says that she had to call for the Magic Knights so that they 
would kill her so that her suffering will end.

Hikaru: "---Just like that, it doesn't matter!!"

Then Dark Side Emerald (Mashin) shoots you.

Rayearth: "This as what it seems it is, if it completes it's process, will put
	    an end to Cephiro, causing it to collapse..."(ROUGH TRANSLATION)
Windam: "Hatred has overcome her and she's trying to hold it back..."
Celes: "However, for how long?..."

And then she fires at you again.

Dark Side Emerald: "Come now,...!!! "

And then Emerald appears again, asking for you to grant her her request.

Fight!

Boss Fight

{Emerald Mashin}
Attacks: Fire wave
         Holy Beam
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy:
Strategy:
Let Fuu cast "Midori no Tsubasa" (Green Wings) for defense and "Midori no 
Chikara" (Green Force) for healing purposes, if needed. Cast "Aoi Kiba" (Blue
Fang) using Umi, and then "Honoo no Ken" (Sword of Blaze) using Hikaru. Have
Fuu cast "Mashin no Kaze" (Wind of the Mashin) if your HP is okay.

*Again, if you loose, a unique sceen will take place.
==============================================================================

Emerald: "Zagato--- At last, I could be with you!"
Hikaru:: "Just like this...!!!"

Then a conversation (which was so hard to understand and translate) starts
between the Knights, feeling bad for what they just did.

Rayearth tells them that he's going to get them out safely. He send you off
into the Emerald Castle where you get to see the ending! Enjoy!

ENDING SCRIPT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mocona: "Puu!"
Presea: "Hikaru! Umi! Fuu!"
Umi: "We flew all the way to the castle!?"
Presea: "You're all safe!"
Fuu: "Presea-chan---------"
Hikaru: "But, Princess Emerald is------------"
Presea: "I heard everything from Clef. It must have been tough, having you
        feel that way."
Ferio: "Magic Knights, thank you----for saving my sister, Princess Emerald."
Fuu: "Ferio!"
Hikaru: "The Princess Emerald, is Ferio's younger sister!?"
Clef: "Yes, this person is Princess Emerald's older brother---- Prince Ferio
Umi: "Ferio is a prince!?"
Ferio: "Fuu...(Couldn't figure that out ^_-;)"
Fuu: "In that case, what does being her your elder sister (means?)---"(VERY 
     ROUGH TRANSLATION!)
Ferio: "Fuu, sorry for not telling you. I wanted to live as a person, not 
       a prince, so I didn't tell anyone."
Fuu: "Then----I have killed your sister---"
Ferio: "Don't worry about it, Fuu. I'm sure sis is happy about it."
Fuu: "--------"

Something appears...

Hikaru: "What the!?"

It's Princess Emerald!

Emerald: "Do not blame yourselves, Magic Knights---"
Hikaru: "Princess Emerald!"
Emerald: "I have been able to pray for my beloved Zagato, instead of as the
         pillar--- Thank you."
Umi: "Princess Emerald------"
Emerald: "I know it's painful to put an end to someone's life--- But 
         thank's to you, I will be happy."
Fuu: "Happy---?"

Zagato appears and a cute "sceen" occurs.

Emerald: "Thank you, Magic Knights!------------"

They both vanish again.

Hikaru: "Zagato has-------"
Umi: "At last, the two are binded to be together"
Ferio: "Now you understand, Fuu? You have helped sis attain her happiness--- 
       And I am in debt for that. I will help in keeping the peace of 
       Cephiro."
Fuu: "Ferio, I'm very thankful of you."
Clef: "Come now, as our thank's, I will return you now to your world."

Then someone climbs up the platform.

Fuu: "Ah, Caldina-chan!"

Caldina: "Looks like I made it on time! You're going to leave now without 
         telling me?"
Fuu: "I'm so sorry. But I'm glad we meet could again."
Caldina: "Don't you dare forget me."
Fuu: "Of course not."
Caldina: "I started to like you girls."
Presea: "Come now, get ready. When you leave, it's going to be really lonely 
        again."
Hikaru: "Presea--- I found it! Presea, this! Take this candy I promised!"

Hikaru hands Presea Item TYPE-2, Candy

Presea: "Thank you, Hikaru--- for remembering the promise."

Umi: "Oh, I said I would bake a cake, didn't I?
Fuu: "But, where do we get the ingredients?"
Clef: "I will help you. Umi, think of that cake with your will."
Umi: "Umm--- Yes!"

Then Clef casts a spell and then a cake appears!

Hikaru: "A cake!"
Fuu: "Clever, Cephiro's magic's possibilities are endless"
Umi: "Here, Presea. Sorry I couldn't make it on my own. Don't cry anymore"
Presea: "Thank you---- I'll never forget this."
Clef: "Well then, are you all set?"
Fuu: "Yes. Thank you all for everything."
Umi: "Stay safe and good luck!"
Hikaru: "Goodbye, everyone! We'll never forget you and Cephiro!"
Mocona: "Puu Puu!"
Hikaru: "Goodbye, Mocona!"

Clef casts a magic spell to begin their journey back to earth.

Presea: "Goodbye, Magic Knights!"

<HEY!? Have you seen Ascot around? Hmmm... I wonder. Anywayz...>

You're back at...

Hikaru: "Tokyo Tower!"
Umi: "We've returned!"
Fuu: "-------what the, it all seemed like a dream. It was like a distant 
	dreamworld."
Hikaru: "-----But, it's not a dream."
Umi: "The strange land, Cephiro, and the Pillar who keeps its peace."
Fuu: "We have been summoned to Cephiro, to become the Magic Knights. That is
     something we should not forget."
Hikaru: "Yeah, I won't forget everything."
Umi: "Absolutely, I won't ether."
Fuu: "Let's remember----That strange land."

DIFFERENT ENDING
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Thank's to Jimmy Thorne for "reminding" me of this situation. He says in his 
e-mail: 

"I finished the game today but when the ending came i was so disapointed.. I
beat emeraldmashin and the three girls were transpored back to tokyotower and 
the red haired girl says "we cant go back now, cephiro is not saved yet"!!"

 This happened to me once the first time I finished the game in the Japanese 
version. What happened to me was that I did get back to Tokyo Tower, but then
Hikaru started talking in Japanese (Wasn't able to translate that back then)
and then the game seemed over and the ending didn't happen. I can't remember
the reason for this. Maybe it's some sort of error of the game itself, or just
maybe it's some sort of mystery... a mystery I want to solve. I am personally
not of any knowledge if Jimmy used the English or Japanese version of Mahou
Kishi Reiasu, so I cannot justify whether this effect happens in just the Jap
version or not. I believe there's some part of the game wherein if one misses
out something really important, this happens. But I really am not sure.

  If anyone knows the answer to this mystery, please let me know!
