I do not own Chrono Trigger (Damn it) or iCarly (Thank God).
Crono jumped into the air, swinging his katana down. Frog blocked it with his own sword, and tried to counter. Crono jumped back, and fired a bolt of lightning at the amphibious knight. Frog managed to dodge the magic attack, and used the Masamune to vault himself into the air. He brought the sword down on Crono, who used his katana to block it. Frog jumped back, and resumed his fighting stance. Both swordmen were panting heavily.
"Shall we call it quits for now?" Frog asked. Crono nodded. "You have improved," Frog said as they walked over to Marle and Robo. Crono smiled.
"How'd it go?" Marle asked.
"Good, very good," said Frog. Crono looked around. Gaspar was at his usual post, snoozing as always. Magus was standing at the edge of the End of Time, staring into the nothingness.
"Lucca and Ayla have taken the Epoch, and are exploring time," said Robo, as if reading Crono's thoughts. Right on cue, there was a flash, and the Epoch appeared. Crono and Marle started to walk over to it, when the doors flew open, and Lucca and Ayla scrambled out. Lucca immediately tripped over, and Ayla sprinted towards the pole in the middle of the End of Time, clutching it for support.
"What happened?" Marle asked. Lucca slowly got up. Crono handed his friend her glasses, which had fallen off when she tripped.
"We... We just got back from 2007..." Lucca said.
"And?" said Marle.
"We defeated Lavos in 1999," said Robo. Lucca shook her head.
"That's not it..." she said. "Lavos is nothing compared to this..." Ayla slowly rocked back and forth.
"What did you two see?" inquired Frog. Tears started to form in Lucca's eyes.
"It was horrible..." she said. "In 2007, television... No, the entire entertainment industry... Will be tainted by an unholy presence..." Crono tilted his head in confusion.
"What is this evil?" asked Frog.
"iCarly..." Lucca whispered. Ayla whimpered, and Lucca burst into tears.
"Never heard of it," said Marle.
"Then you're lucky," sniffed Lucca. "It's unbearable... Quite possibly, the worst thing that has ever existed, ever."
"Aren't you overreacting?" said Robo. Lucca shook her head.
"Its awfulness is incomprehensible," she said. "Ayla watched it for fifteen seconds and almost died." Crono looked at Ayla, who was trying to eat the floor. "She's gone insane," Lucca said sadly, wiping her eyes.
"We have to stop it!" said Marle.
"But how?" asked Robo.
"I say we go to 2007, and dispatch the fiends!" said Frog, raising the Masamune.
"Genius!" said Marle. Crono shook his head.
"Crono is right," said Robo. "How do we beat them? Look what they did to Ayla. We need someone with immeasurable mental strength."
"That'd be me." Everyone (except Ayla, who was trying to lick her elbow, and Gaspar, who was still asleep) turned in the direction of the voice. Magus was walking towards them, scythe in hand.
"You'll do it, Magus?" Marle asked. Magus nodded.
"I've grown weary of standing here doing nothing," he said. "Besides, I haven't checked 2007 for Schala yet. Two birds, one stone."
"Magus is the recommended choice," said Robo.
"Are you sure?" asked Lucca. "They're beyond belief. I didn't think something so horrible could exist."
"Don't underestimate me," Magus said as he walked over to the Epoch. "Help me with this thing." Lucca and Robo walked over to it. Robo looked the machine over, and Lucca pressed some buttons.
"It'll take you to 2007, then bring you back here afterwards," Lucca said. "They'll probably be at Nickelodeon On Sunset." Magus climbed into the Epoch.
"Good luck!" called Marle.
"You better come back alive," said Frog. Magus nodded. There was a flash, and the Epoch disappeared.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: So, basically, this is a short story where Magus destroys iCarly. Whoo!
