Hikaru tried to stand but fell to the ground once again as the remainder of the electric volts left her body. "Sorry guys," Hikaru managed to rasp before she fell again, "I don't think I can crawl let alone walk, you should go along without me, I'll would just be a burden." Umi and Fuu gasped to hear their once proud friend say this. "No way," they protested. "You're one of the team, we're not going to leave you here," Umi told her, "besides you would die in this condition." "Yeah," Fuu reasoned, "What if Alcione comes back and decides to finish you off?" "No, she wouldn't do that," Hikaru stated, "I'm not much of a Magic Knight remember, she won't bother to take care of me." Hikaru tried to laugh but in the end she started coughing up her blood. "We won't leave you Hikaru," Umi said, "You're coming with us even if we have to carry you there every step."

"Lantis! Ascot! Ferio!" Clef shouted through the castle. "What's wrong?" Ferio asked as all three came crashing down the hallway, concerned at the urgency of his tone. "The Magic Knights have returned." Clef stated as calmly as he could, although each of them could see clearly how heavily he leaned on his staff and how hard his hands were shaking, despite all his attempts to stop it. "What?!?!?!?!?" all three shouted in unison, "Fuu? Umi? Hikaru?" "Yes, you must find them, I fear that they are in danger of some sort. You must find them and bring them here, quickly, and stay together, I feel that you will find them easier that way, you all have a special link with one of them, use your hearts and find them. Hurry!" Clef exclaimed. Without a further word, all of them turned and ran out the doorway. "And good luck..." Clef whispered to their fleeting backs.

Progress was slow, as Hikaru was using their shoulders as supports. She was very weak. Although Hikaru protested, Umi and Fuu had insisted that she spent one night at least resting, to gather her strength for the long journey to find help. They had found a small clearing within the trees and stayed for the rest of the day and that evening. Hikaru struggled to walk, but as thought, she was too weak to barely move. Her many cuts and wounds bled heavily and her body was black and blue all over. It was lucky for her that no one of Cephiro can kill the pillar or else she would almost certainly be dead. Hikaru had used the last of her power to see what held her friends captive and she had none to heal herself with. Her body could not heal this many damages by itself. Hikaru fell into a deep sleep and Umi and Fuu took turns at watch all night long, watching for any sign of trouble. None came though. None at all and despite her trying to stay awake, Umi and Fuu both fell asleep, exhausted from the days journey.
