Legend of the Seven Warriors
A Super Mario RPG/Chrono Trigger crossover by:
Majin Magus
Chapter One
Arrival
Magus wiped the sweat and blood off his face as Ayla leapt towards the Lavos Core. Ayla, Crono, and himself had taken gone together to defeat Lavos 2. They all had thought that the odd, mechanical Lavos was the core, but it appeared that the evil alien had a surprise left…
Suddenly, as the right pod rejuvenated the humanoid center form, a thought ran through Magus's mind. Seeing Crono aiming his Luminaire at the center being, the thought exploded from idea to fact.
"Don't attack the center!" Magus took out his scythe and glared straight at the right pod, "The right pod is the real Lavos Core!!"
Crono and Ayla glanced at each other, then nodded at Magus. They quickly preformed a Falcon Hit, and a deep slash appeared in the pod's exterior. Magus summoned Dark Matter and launched it at the Lavos Core.
The center form shrieked and it began to call its own energy. Crono looked shocked, but threw a Shield to each of his teammates.
"It's casting Grand Stone! Use the Shields!" Crono roared over the cry of Lavos, activating his Shield. Magus and Ayla mimicked him, and a barrier around them glowed yellow.
A gigantic gray rock appeared above the three warriors, and the humanoid Lavos then willed it to come crashing down on them. The stone did bring down their health levels, but if the Shields had not been present, they would have been dead.
"Now!" Crono cried, lifting up his arms and allowing his Lightning energy to flow through and into a powerful Luminaire spell. After all three parts of Lavos had been sufficiently damaged, Ayla launched a Triple Kick upon the right pod. The true Lavos Core had begun to drip silvery blood, which was quickly swept away in the vortex of time that they were fighting in.
Magus gathered his remaining strength but did not heal his wounds. "DARK MATTER!" he yelled, and the swirling triangles of pure Shadow magic hit the Core of Lavos. The creature let out a shriek, though higher than before.
The three warriors knelt panting in the pulsating vortex. Blood ran down their faces and mingled with their sweat, but they didn't care. Lavos was defeated, and the threat was over.
Ayla, Crono, and Magus watched as images from the different ages swept past them. The green fields of 65,000,000 BC, the Mammon Machine from 12,000 BC…but something seemed amiss when a vision of Magus's castle appeared. The vision froze, but an object seemed to be moving within the image…no, it wasn't in the picture, it was…
"Glenn!" Crono called, and the confused frog came over to join them.
The frog smiled warmly. "I knoweth not why I am here, but thou hath defeated Lavos! Hold still while I healeth ye…" Glenn cast Cure 2 on Ayla, then moved to Crono, but Magus scowled and Glenn's hand away.
"I need no help from you, frog," Magus growled, standing up shakily, putting painful pressure on his already weakened legs. Glenn shrugged and stared at the image that had replaced the vision of Magus's castle.
Ayla started in surprise, then turned to Crono. "That Crono's home, yes?" And as she spoke, two figures appeared through the vague picture of Leene Square. Marle and Lucca appeared, looked around, and joined the others.
Crono rolled his eyes. "Probably Robo'll come next. Wonder what's going on here," he said, staring at the metallic form that was coming into view from the desolate image of 2300 AD. The robot joined them within the swirling colors.
"What a surprise to see you here!" Robo beeped excitedly, "I do not know why we all emerged from our own eras when we were all at the End of Time, but at least we are not all by ourselves.
Magus grinned sarcastically. "Scratch that thought, you tin can." He pointed ahead while, at the center of the time vortex, a large cloud with a golden star in the center was coming even more closer.
Marle gaped wide-eyed at the cloud. "W-what is it?" she asked, her head swiveling around to face Crono. He shrugged back at her.
"I think something within the structure of this cloud had ruptured," said Robo as cracks appeared in the large star. The star then broke into seven pieces, scattering them each in different corners of the world.
Wind tore through the warriors and as they were thrown out of a portal, each person was thrown in a unique direction towards where the stars had landed.
Crono, to an odd looking city…
Glenn, to lush, green forest…
Robo, to rocky mines within a mountain…
Ayla, to blue hills with stars already puncturing the terrain…
Marle, to a sunken pirate ship…
Lucca, to a blazing volcanic inferno…
And Magus to an odd-looking castle in the center of the realm.
