Drum's army tears into Sforzando. Trom and Flute recoil in horror at the
devastation, while Clari's chi begins to burn...Trom offers to help, but
Clari contemptuously slaps him down. As he leaves, the Mirror of Truth
begins to glow...reflecting 15 years ago. A battered Horn, staggering
away, reluctantly sends her only child out of the doomed city, and
prepares to launch a final assult that will result in her death...
eanwhile, Clari's MagiCorp begins destroying Drum's fleet with their
particle beam cannon. Hamel and Raiel continue to ride away from the
city, Hamel downcast and lost and thought. Raiel vainly tries to reach
out to him...Drum launches a singlehanded counterattack that completely
turns the tables on the MagiCorp. While Flute sobs over the Mirror,
it begins to reflect a new scene: a dying man is leaving his young son
behind him. As the child screams, Horn arrives and saves the man's life
with her healing magic. The child, Clari, vows to devote his life to
protecting her...outside, the adult Clari challanges Drum to single
combat. {EIR}

Strategical map. As Drum looks on, Clari bends down and fires off a blast
worth of a Gundam, wiping out a third of the Dragon Army and slicing a
nearby mountain in half. This singes Drum slightly. He and Clari begin
hand to hand combat, with Clair coming off slightly the worse...Horn
arrives on the 'bridge' looking much better. Raiel and Hamel arrive at a
weird looking little house; an old man with 'genius' written on his
clothes appears and kisses Hamel. As Hamel howls about his first kiss,
the old man is revealed to be Olin...as in ViOlin. This insane old
inventor apparently made Pandora's Box, which later was opened when
Pandora's children were held hostage. Olin has been working on other
inventions, such as Pandora's Microwave, Pandora's Big Screen TV with
Picture in Picture, Pandora's Washing Machine, and Pandora's Urinal.
Drum finally makes full contact with Clari's skull, and blood sprays.
Tricking Drum into hitting him one last time, he regains his staff and
finishes off the binding spell he's been laying this whole time... {EIR}

[Pandora's Box.]

Clari, with Drum tightly bound, has time to fire off another spell, which
sort of flushes Drum and any Mazoku within range into the ground, on the
way to hell. As Clari slumps to the ground exhausted, a dragon head rises
from the ground below him and chomps him; Drum pulls himself out of the
ground, commenting "Ya had me worried." Back at Olin's, the boys are
startled to hear a tremendous noise...the noise of the battle, reaching
even this far off distance. Hamel's violin still broken, Raiel takes off
in his place. Olin finishes his emergency repairs -- attaching the violin
to Pandora's Microwave. After Hamel beats him very badly, he mentions
that one thing he put into the violin (which he made) that he needs to
make sure to put in now, is 'Love. So come on baby, light my fire.'
Meanwhile, in what looks suspiciously like Staccato, Sizer is searching
for Pandora's Box, and slicing in half troops who harm villagers.
Receiving word of Guitar's mission from Ocarina, she flies off...Clari is
now being eaten by five dragons at once. With his dying breath, he begins
a self-destruction spell...and the dragons are all cut in half but a
powered up Raiel. {EIR}

Drum finally looks frightened as a soaring Raiel flies in dramatically,
riding on the back of a giant Bird of Fire, and Playing Stravinsky's
Firebird suite. Hi no Tori-kun, the Firebird, accidently sets Raiel on
fire shortly after, and Raiel screams like a baby until his piano falls on
him. Drum helps him up, and Raiel thanks him very kindly, and challenges
him. Firebird-kun erupts in a pillar of fire that weakens Drum to the
point where the attacks of the regrouped MagiCorp effect him...Raiel helps
the weakened but alive Clari to his feat, cautioning him that being the
Hero of Love doesn't mean 'homo.' Back on the 'bridge' Flute arrives,
looking wideeyed, and struggles to call Horn 'mother.' Before she can,
Horn is cut by Guitar's sword...the generals and guards attack, and are
defeated by Guitars 'Hungry Wolf' sword, which sprouts forelegs and
devours all it meets when he lets it go. Guitar has come for 'it' -- the
key to Pandora's Box. When Horn refuses, he 'drops' the sword. As Flute
and Horn struggle with it, hugging it's body to them as it tries to get
free, Trom sinks into a pit of despair...until Horn yells for everyone
to flee, and save themselves. This reminds him of his mother's sacrifice,
and he gains the courage to destroy Guitar's sword, challanging the
Warrior King in the name of Dal Segno. {EIR}
