Episode 26 Plot: Hikaru continues to fight Seville, who has her on the ropes. He's able to land a cut on her but Hikaru destroys him with Flame Arrow. Clef contacts her but says he doesn't know where Lantis is. She frantically tells him that Lantis is hurt and Clef tells her to calm down or Nova will become even stronger. Umi, Fuu and the others run towards the noise, the two having heard Hikaru scream. Alba appears and attacks them, regenerating from its wounds and shrugging off Umi and Fuu's spells. He dispatches their allies, which gives Umi and Fuu resolve that gives them new spells that destroy Alba. Umi and Fuu hear Hikaru scream again due to Clef saying that Nova is the shadow of her heart. Seville comes back and resumes fighting Hikaru. She reflects on how she denied what she had done to Emeraude but couldn't say it. Clef explains that created a shadow on Cephiro which is Nova, namely Hikaru's regret, sadness and frustration at herself. Hikaru realizes Nova loves her because Hikaru couldn't forgive herself for killing Emeraude. She also realizes that since Nova is her heart, she herself is the one hurting Lantis. This revelation causes her to unleash an attack that destroys Seville. Nova senses this, saying her heart hurts. Debonair says it's Hikaru's emotions flooding into her and that she plans to use Lantis' strong heart. Hikaru enters Eagle Vision's cell and apologizes for Lantis being hurt and captured. Clef, despite Sierra's protests, goes to Alcyone to learn where Debonair is. Hikaru tells Eagle about Nova and apologizes again as she knows he loves Lantis. She cries on him, saying she can't hate him despite him being an enemy and he says he feels the same. Clef and Sierra get to Alcyone as Cephiro continues to fall apart. The civilians and Primera panic while Mira and her friends hope they can be as strong as the Magic Knights. Ascot runs to find Umi but Caldina tries to stop him by telling him who she's really in love with. Ascot says it's alright as he's satisfied just loving her. Impressed, Caldina lets him go. Back with Hikaru and Eagle, he implores her not to cry but Hikaru laments that Lantis must hate her for killing Zagato but she still loves him regardless. Eagle says Emeraude probably thought the same thing. He says he wants to be friends with her and the others but can't give up on his wish to save Autozam. He's then struck by a coughing fit. Clef pleads with Alcyone to tell him where Debonair is but she doesn't care what happens to Cephiro as Zagato is dead. Hikaru asks Eagle if Lantis knows he's sick and Eagle says he doesn't want Lantis to know. He says that if he becomes the Pillar, he'll stay in Cephiro to save it but asks Hikaru to let Autozam in to examine the Pillar system. He then asks Hikaru what she plans to do if she becomes the Pillar. Meanwhile, all that's left of Cephiro is the ground around the palace.
