Magic Knight Rayearth Volume 2 is the second volume in the Magic Knight Rayearth manga series.

Summary[]

The second volume begins with Hikaru thanking the stranger for saving them, though Umi and Fuu are wary of trusting him since they don't know who he is. Fuu asks the stranger his name, and he introduces himself as Ferio, telling them that he is on his way to the Spring of Eterna to get some Escudo. Fuu uses her intelligence to convince Ferio to escort them to the exit of the forest, using Mokona to guide the way. They reach the exit and are immediately attacked by Alcyone, who greatly injures Umi. This causes Hikaru to explode in anger and attack Alcyone. Umi pushes through her injuries to help and pleads with Mokona for magic. Mokona then beams lights onto her and through that, Clef awakens her affinity to water. Umi then casts a spell to attack Alcyone, which hits her directly. Alcyone then flees back to Zagato's castle, where she is then killed by him.

Fuu, noticing that she is the only one without any magic, also asks Clef for power and heals Umi's wounds using her awakened affinity to wind. Ferio and the Magic Knights then explain to each other who they are and what their intentions are, with Ferio explaining that he was on his way to get Escudo so that he could become a Magic Knight and save Princess Emeraude. He then leaves, giving Fuu an earring and kissing her on the hand.

The Magic Knights then travel to the Spring of Eterna, where they battle illusions of their loved ones. They triumph with help from Princess Emeraude and get the Escudo they need, which morphs their armor. Presea then arrives and forges the Magic Knights' new weapons with an enchanting dance, after which she collapses due to exhaustion but insists that she is alright. The girls thank her and leave in a flying object created by Mokona, which takes them to an underwater shrine where Umi's Rune God, Selece, awaits her. The second volume ends with a new minion of Zagato's, Ascot, appearing to kill the Magic Knights.

Anime Adaption[]

This volume corresponds with Anime episodes 3 to 10 and there are several differences in the Anime. Ferio is absent in the battle against Alcyone and the sorceress ambushes them in Eterna. In the manga, Alcyone is killed by Zagato after failing, but this doesn't happen in the anime; she instead lives on and tries multiple times to redeem herself. Presea dies after creating the Magic Knight's weapons, unlike in the manga, where she is only exhausted. There are then three new stories where each of the Magic Knights develop their swords before their arrival in the Temple of the Sea.
