Florina, it's my turn to save you this time.
But how?
I heard a story once...
About a sword with the power of mana that exists somewhere in the world...
The power of mana...
The Sword of Mana?
I've heard of it, too.
They say it has a power that's nothing short of miraculous...
All right.
I will go search for the Sword of Mana.
Tell the people I was banished.
Why?
Tell them I committed a crime against a Guardian and was banished.
That should calm them down, at least for a while.
You can't...!
Very well.
Alex.
I'm here.
Take care of Florina in my absence.
Understood.
Florina was kidnapped!
What?
Oh, no!
This city won't survive without her tears!
I know. She must be brought back.
I'll go.
No, you're in charge of the Guardians.
You must stay here and protect them, right?
Yes, but...
Then, we'll go.
No, you're Guardians, but you don't even have Knights.
Still...
I'm going to ask Lady Blackpearl.
Florina was kidnapped!
The Bejeweled City is doomed!
If the Empire attacked now...
We'll have to leave the city.
Yeah.
This may be the end for the Bejeweled City.
Yes. Even if Rubens is trying to bring back Florina...
Let's take Esmeralda and leave the city.
Yeah.
Diana, I told Lady Blackpearl about Florina.
Diana?
No...
I can't even protect the person I love?
So that's what happened to the Jumi...
Let's go. We have to stop Sandra.
Right.
Teardrop Crystal (Part 2)
The Throne of Jewels.
There's no other way in, is there? That must be—
Hurry... Before the glimmer vanishes.
Florina?
Let's go!
Okay!
You finally made it.
I've been waiting for you.
You're from the jewel shop! Does that mean...
You're Sandra!
Yes.
We've met before.
Had you not noticed then?
I can't blame you.
I couldn't have you see right through me so easily.
You've been using two separate identities.
So then, Seraphina was...
Where is Pearl?
She was with Florina.
Gee, I dunno.
I've been letting the girl take care of her, so I don't know.
No...
Does that mean Pearl is...
Impossible!
Lady Blackpearl would never be defeated!
Trust her!
Elazul...
Sandra, why do you take Jumi cores?
Why do you take the lives of your own people?
The lives of my own people, huh?
Which side was the one that started it?
What is your goal?
Revenge?
That's part of it.
But that's not all.
Let me show you.
I saw you in the caves.
I'm the Lord of Jewels.
Lord of Jewels...?
My Lord has the ability to fuse together the things he swallows.
What he swallows...?
No!
Jumi cores!
They will all become one in my body.
The Jumi cores will regain the sparkle of the stars.
My Lord has already swallowed many cores.
We need Jumi cores in order to create a teardrop crystal.
You're sacrificing other Jumi just for Florina?
I'm simply bringing back her former luster.
You must know what this means if you've seen the thoughts left here.
But Florina never asked for that!
Yeah.
Florina ordered us to stop you.
Release the gems swallowed by the Lord of Jewels!
It doesn't matter what Florina wants.
Of course she doesn't want it.
She doesn't even think she was a victim.
But that's wrong, is it not?
It seems we have nothing left to say to each other.
I'll give you my attention if you can defeat them.
Elazul!
Don't mind me!
I'll take care of it!
Got it!
It won't go through.
Shiloh!
Elazul!
This sword!
Just use it!
Don't worry about it.
It's not worth your life.
Of course!
Look! Shiloh!
Seraphina...
Pearl...
There must...
Surely there must be a reason for this.
You're looking for Jumi, huh?
You know of the Jumi?
Yeah.
At least, that they exist.
I guess there aren't that many of them.
Why the Jumi?
I have a friend who's a Jumi.
Tell me more about that.
She was with us for the Jumi all along.
Why did she save me when Sandra nearly killed me?
Is it because I hadn't told her that I knew Elazul and Pearl yet?
Did she come to my place to find leads to Elazul and Pearl?
Did she cooperate with Esmeralda just to take her core?
Did she come to my place afterwards to look for Elazul and Pearl?
To take Diana's core?
What am I saying?
I knew this the whole time!
Seraphina, give the Lord the core.
Pearl!
You aren't getting past me!
Move!
That ought to do it.
What?!
I need just a little more power.
But you said this would be enough!
If you're going to kill me, use my core.
Don't let it go to waste.
Save Florina.
That way, we Jumi will someday...
That won't be necessary.
Sandra.
My Lord...
Sandra!
Use my core.
Sandra, what are you doing?
This wasn't the deal!
Don't just stand there.
You have things to do.
Things to do?
Give the teardrop crystal to Florina.
That is my only wish.
I'm counting on you.
Seraphina, I'm glad I met you.
My Lord, hurry with the teardrop crystal.
I apologize.
It seems I've damaged his core.
I'll have Elazul live as Florina's knight.
Why would he do that?
He's Pearl's knight!
Give back everyone's cores!
It's the only way.
Otherwise the Jumi will be doomed!
There must be something we can do together!
Shiloh, protect Elazul.
No!
Not at the cost of the Jumi's cores!
I see.
That's a shame.
Goodbye, Shiloh.
What?!
Florina!
Elazul...
I want to save Florina.
How can we do that?
I don't know.
I tried several times to cry.
I'd like to be as helpful as I can.
In that case...
We'll have to smile when we're around her.
That's all we can do.
You're right.
I'm a Guardian in name only.
I can't even heal you when you've come home hurt.
It helps.
Just having you hold my hand soothes me.
That won't fix the damage to your core.
Shed tears?
Yeah.
That might be better than wandering blindly to find the Sword of Mana.
But how?
Could you make it so that I can shed tears as a Guardian?
To be blunt, I don't want to.
I don't want to do anything to hurt you.
Alex...
But if we really can't find the Sword of Mana and the time really comes...
I see.
Then I'm counting on you to take care of Florina.
Yes.
I never knew...
Everyone had done this for the Jumi. For their own people.
Sandra...
They'd understood each other all along...
None of the Jumi are guilty.
Shiloh!
Don't cry for the Jumi!
You are, too.
Huh?
No...
I'm sorry, Shiloh.
No.
It's...
It was true.
There was something I wanted to ask you.
What?
Never mind.
I hated it.
Betraying you and the others.
Killing my friend. Killing Esmeralda.
You must have.
Hey, do you remember?
You cooked for us when we were all traveling together.
Yeah.
I'd never had anything so good.
Sandra trained me.
There's so much more I wanted to talk to you about.
Yeah.
But I'm sure we'll meet each other again somewhere.
With Elazul and Pearl. With everyone.
So that everyone can be happy.
So that their lives aren't taken.
So they can...
Shed tears.
It's a miracle.
Guys!
Pearl!
Their compassion for another race produced teardrop crystals.
Big Brother Shiloh...
Big Sister Seraphina...
Shiloh...
Everyone, bring your hearts together.
For another teardrop crystal.
It's really stormy outside.
It's like the sky's falling apart.
Did you know?
I heard that when a Jumi cries, the sky cries, too.
Do you think Pearl is crying?
Or do you think it's Elazul?
Master's late...
Yeah...
Look!
Wow!
It's...
We're home.
