Prologue/Chapter 1 (I couldn't decide…)
Cephiro inhabitants (other countries involved)--
Cephiro. The world that is controlled by will has fallen. The complete of the total destruction of Cephiro would be over only in a matter of days. The leaders of the faeries and sprites are dead. All the monsters and other such creatures have been teleported to another galaxy-where they will be able live without any more problems. The rest of the faeries and sprites will be transferred back into their original homes. The human inhabitants will be moved to Earth where they will have to blend in. They are to have a decent home with proper amounts of money and suitable jobs and incomes waiting for them when they reach their destination. Destination: Japan.
Where in Japan? Everywhere, not just in any one city. Their memories will not be erased. Their time in Cephiro not to be forgotten... unless they want it to be so. Their magic powers and abilities will stay with them as well-the one thing to put them apart from other earthlings. They will, however, be warned not to use their magic in front of non-Cephirans.
Magic Knights--
The Magic Knight's ability to teleport to Cephiro's world will have to be taken away. Otherwise, their powers will still be as strong as they have ever been. The Cephirans will still be able to follow the their religion. They won't, however, be able to recognize their Pillar, the Magic Knight of Rayearth, the spirit of fire. The Cephirans that know her personally will know that she was once their Pillar, but will not be able to worship her as a properly. Those that know the Magic Knights personally will be sent specifically to Tokyo in Japan in their original forms. Their memories of Cephiro and their adventures there will remain unchanged. They will also be allowed to keep their magic and ability to summon armor and weapons out of nowhere. Their gauntlets will remain with them as well, with its power to store things in pockets of "nothing". Though they don't really need it anymore since they can store their weapons in pockets of nothing with out the help of the gauntlets. But the gauntlets can store anything in their pockets of nothing.

One year later--
"I'm home!" yelled Hikaru as she came through the doorway singing to herself. She stopped abruptly, seeing her three brothers sitting grimly in the living room.
"What's the matter?" asked Hikaru. "Why's everybody so grim looking? Did someone die?"
Masaru's serious glance silenced her at once. He stated quietly, "Hikaru...Mom is in the hospital."
"What?!? Why?!?"
"She had a heart attack right after you left for school. Dad's with her right now."
"Did the doctors tell you how long she'd be in there?"
"As long as it takes them to find out how bad her heart problems are and how to treat it."
"In other words, you mean that Mom's going to be there for a long time."
"Yes."
Just then the front door opened and Mr. Shidou walked in.
Hikaru ran up to him and asked, "Is Mom okay?"
Mr. Shidou walked to the couch and sat down slowly with exhaustion.
"I don't know Hikaru. I truly don't know," Mr. Shidou said massaging his temples. He sighed loudly, "Hikaru, Masaru, Kakeru... go to bed. I have some important matters to discuss with Satoru."
"Ok dad," said Hikaru, Masaru, and Kakeru together. As they left the living room, Mr. Shidou turned to Satoru, the oldest of the Shidou quad.
"Ok Satoru, we've got a few problem right now. Since mom's in the hospital, you're going to have to stay home to take care of the house since you are the oldest and the most responsible. Then there's the problem of money. We all have to work-including Masaru and Kakeru-in order to pay mom's hospital bills. Masaru and Kakeru don't have a problem with that, but then there's Hikaru. She's too young to get her working license."
Satoru thought for a moment and asked, "Don't you have a friend that lives in Nerima who owns a dojo? Wasn't his name Soun Tendo or something like that?"
Mr. Shidou nodded his head. Encouraged, Satoru continued on, " You're still in touch with him, right?"
Again Mr. Shidou nodded his head. "Doesn't he have three daughters that would get along great with Hikaru?" asked Satoru
Realization dawned over Mr. Shidou. He asked, "Are you saying that we should send Hikaru over there with them until your mom heals?"
Satoru nodded his head, "If that's OK with them."
Mr.Shidou stood up, saying, "I'll write Soun a letter right now to see if it is."
