Caldina is determined to kill the girls in order to receive the pile of money shed been promised by Zagato. Ascot doesn't wish to harm the girls anymore and failed to persuade Caldina not to attack them.

Caldina uses her "bells" to hypnotize Hikaru and Umi against Fuu. Fuu uses her magic to hold them back, but does not know that Caldina is only a few steps away. Caldina reveals herself and forces Fuu to defend against Hikaru and Umi. Caldina also managed to "puppeteering" Fuu into hurting her friends.

A Powerful Foe! Lafarga the Swordmaster (Episode 16)
Zagato informs Princess Emeraude that he is using mind control to send one of the Princess' own swordsmen to kill the girls. She begs Zagato to stop, but he does not listen.

Meanwhile, the girls are traveling to the volcano-like shrine to revive Hikaru's Rune-God, only to be attacked by a large flying bird. They try to fight it off with their swords, but it is of no use. It then takes a hold of Umi, who loses her swords and flies off with her.

Fuu tries to return Umi her sword, but Umi's sword turns into water when Fuu tries to pick it up. Fuu only has one choice, and throws her own sword to Umi. Umi catches it, but is too heavy. She tries to hold onto it, but drops it instead.

The bird continues to fly, and a man appears and kills the bird. Hikaru and Fuu catch Umi, and she comments how heavy Fuu's sword is. Fuu then holds it, noting it is as light as a feather to her. Then they soon realize that the swords have been made specially for each other, and them alone. Anyone else who tries to use them would not be able to.

Once she is recovered Umi wishes to thank the man who rescued her, and they see Lafarga standing before them. He then proceeds to attack them, and manages to trap Umi and Fuu.

Hikaru and Lafarga battle, and Hikaru hits his sword far away. Lafarga over powers Hikaru, and tries to use her sword against her, but gets burned in the process.

Lafarga's memories slowly come back to him, and he asks them who are they. They respond they are the Magic Knights, and he is amazed. He too, being the captain of the Royal Guard, tells them he will find a way to help them save Princess Emeraude, and wanders off, while the girls head to revive Hikaru's Rune-God.
