Guided by Clef's words, the girls reach the Silent Forest and find a fortress-like edifice. They meet Presea, the owner of the castle, who confirms that only a Legendary Magic Knight could have gained entry. Presea has them choose their weapons, and instructs them that the weapons will appear only when needed. But they must bring them to Eterna Lake to pick up a mineral, Escudo, which will bring power to their machines. Before they leave the fortress, they are forced to use their wiles and their new gear to defeat a monster. Mokona, a friendly creature from the fortress, guides them to the Lake.

While travelling to Eterna Lake, they run into a guy named Ferrio who saves them from a monster. Ferrio then offer them to be their guide to get out of the Silence forest. They say no, and try to lose him, but he still follow them. The girls then discuss about him being their guide, but they can't trust him, due to the fact he still a stranger. They let him be their guide and uses food as payment since they have no money. We then find out that Ferrio was an entertainer, and Princess Emeraude saved his life when they thought he stole in the castle. Princess Emeraude then told the guards that it was a gift (the egg looking treasure) to him. That's why he is on the quest to save Princess Emeraude.
The girls run into what seems like to be a deserted village. They are captured in a net, and find out that the villagers were hiding from monsters, corrupting their land. A monster then shows up, forcing the villagers to go back into hiding.
Alcyone begs Zagato for another chance, to kill the Magic Knights, after saying she has a plan (this time). The girls reach a lake, thinking it's Eterna. A monster then attacks them and Umi destroys it with her Water Dragon. The monster rain on them, making them glow, and they brush it off, after they dry up. They head for Eterna, as Alcyone watches afar, laughing to herself.
Ascot sends one of his worm creatures to kill the Magic Knights. The girls tells Presea to take care of their weapons, while they handle the monster. The worm attacks the Magic Knights who are a bit sucessful in defending themselves, but it turns and heads for someone else... Presea!
With each earthquake that happens in Cephiro it means that Cephiro is falling. If Cephiro falls completely, they cannot go back to their world. To become a Magic Knight, they need to awaken their Machines.
Hikaru takes an estrange monster for caring. She names it Hikaru after her dog. We then find out that Hikari is actually a monster that Ascot was training...
Alcyone manages to trick Ascot into freeing her from the barrier holding her against her will, by promising she will give power to one of his monsters to make it strong enough to kill the Magic Knights. In an open field, Umi is still obsessed with her fencing competition that was a week away at the time they arrived in Cephiro, even though days or even weeks may have already passed. Hikaru suggests if she wishes hard enough, maybe she can still make it to the competition - since Cephiro is a land of power.
Umi becomes ill and is separated from the other two girls by a painting of a blue dragon that has comes alive. Ascot then shows up with his monster, and they battle Hikaru and Fuu. Ascot runs off. Meanwhile, the blue dragon tells Umi she must show her courage of the heart.
