Would They Have Done It? Options

[Shiidou Hikaru]

The first time I watched MKR, I didn't really get a good grasp of what they were talking about concerning the Legend of the Magic Knights. It wasn't clear until the end of the first season what the tragedy of that legend really was. When I watched the series the second time, everything became crystal clear. Clef never told them the true nature of what their mission was. The villagers feared and ran away from them. Others, like Ascot, Caldina, and Lafarga, made peace with them, but left them behind and didn't look back. Only Ferio became friends with them and helped out with their mission. And there's much more too, but the end result is that no one, not even Ferio, ever told Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu, exactly what was going on until it was already too late. If they had known beforehand what the mission of the Magic Knights was, would the three of them have followed through with it?

I'm just jumping into the discussion here because I've wonder myself. I don't think they would have done it or else why had Clef deceived them? He must have known that if he had told them the truth, they probably would have refused to carry-out their "mission" and Cephiro would have been in great trouble. What I don't understand is why Zagato sorta turned evil. Yes, he wanted to stop the magic Knights, but he used violent methods and he was using people (at least in the manga version). Why not go ahead himself and tell them the truth?
