Hikaru, Umi and Fuu introduced themselves to Presea. She promised to make them powerful weapons. Then the girls started their journey. In the forest the girls got panic because Mokona seemed to not knowing which way to go. When suddenly it leapt off to an open field, the girls followed and encountered a monster. The girls quickly drew their weapons, which each one suited its owner's ability, and managed to kill the monster using only their skills with weapons, because Hikaru's spell just didn't work. Only few moments after, another monster appeared. This time a stranger killed it. It was the young man who'd been spying on them since they came out from Presea's house. He told them his name was Ferio, and he was also going to Eterna Spring to get Escudo. Hikaru and Umi were panic-stricken hearing this. But Fuu quietly arranged a strategy to make use of Ferio. She succeeded in convincing Ferio to believe the girls knew the way to Eterna, and they were willing to tell him where the exit was, under one condition: he had to escort them to the exit. Ferio had no choice but to accept the offer. Mokona showed them the way by pointing the beam coming out from a jewel at its head to the exit. They rushed to it, running away from a flying monster while clearing their way from other monsters emerging from the ground. The girls impressed Ferio by showing him their abilities, and he then showed them how to beat the flying monster. His action almost killed the monster, but as its last effort, it fired a giant fireball from its mouth to Fuu, who was standing offguard in the open. Luckily Ferio were fast enough to save her. The exit now was right before their eyes. They hurried to get out of the forest, when suddenly Umi, who was running in the front, was attacked by Alcione's Sharp Ice Shootings. Badly wounded, she fell unconscious. Then Alcione told them they would never gain victory over her because she was a former disciple of Clef. She betrayed her mentor and became Zagato's agent because she was in love with him. Hikaru was very angry hearing this, and she stood up to face Alcione. The duel was intense, as Hikaru's anger raised the power of her spell. But Alcione was still too powerful to her. Just when Hikaru was in a critical point, Umi gained her conciousness. She straighted up, asking Mokona for a spell because she wanted to help Hikaru. Surprisingly, it was Clef speaking to her using Mokona as mediator. He taught Umi her magic. She then casted her Water Dragon towards Alcione, who failed to avert the attack. The agent vanished, but Umi collapsed to the ground, exhausted from her effort. Fuu decided it was her turn to save Umi. She asked Mokona for a spell that could heal Umi. Again, Clef spoke to her and taught her magic. She casted Healing Wind that cured Umi and made her collect herself. All of them were very relieved. The girls pledged to be friends forever and would work as a solid team to accomplish their mission. At that time Ferio had realized these girls were the Magic Knights. He then told them the complete version of the legend: "When the Pillar was in distress, the Legendary Magic Knights from other dimension would fight for her using the power of the Machine Gods". All couldn't comprehend why the knights had to come from other dimension. Furthermore, Ferio explained Cefiro became a catastrophic place because the Pillar couldn't pray to keep everything under control. This made the inhabitants restless and afraid and in result, their negative emotions created horrible monsters. Once again Mokona beamed to the spring. Ferio took of, but before he did, he gave one of his earrings to Fuu and kissed her hand, which made her blushed beet-red. At Zagato's palace, Alcione, still alive but badly hurt, pleaded to be given one more chance to murder the girls. Having lost his patience, Zagato bewitched her to disappear. His other agent, a boy named Ascot, volunteered to go and 'play' with the girls. The girls came to a wide open field. But they found no sign of a spring, not even water. Then they discovered an odd phenomenon: a 'line' floating in the air, not too far from the ground. Mokona led them to see the 'line' from a higher place. They were very surprised. The 'line' turned out to be the Spring of Eterna. This legendary spring was actually, as Fuu called it, a two dimensional spring.
