I do not own the rights to the characters in the fanfic, nor do I claim them. The idea, however is mine.
This is a crossover between two RPGs that, in my opinion, are two of the best ones made (among several others). Well, I hope you enjoy this!
Revival of the Legend
Prologue
A wild-haired youth sat with his back resting against a tree, watching as his friend tinkered in the hood of a metal, flying contraption. He let out a contented sigh, adjusting the white headband on his head to push back his reddish-brown hair. He glanced over at his armored companion, who seemed to be enjoying the sunny day as well. It seemed like such a long time ago that he and his friends endured the toughest battle of their young lives. Both warriors looked towards the girl and the flying machine as a loud pounding sound shattered the quiet surroundings.
"Art thou finished tempering with thine machine, Lucca," one of the two warriors asked. The girl, Lucca, stopped her pounding momentarily to look over at the two warriors.
"Yes, Glenn, I'm almost finished," she replied, wiping her brow with the back of her sleeve, leaving behind a greasy smudge. "Just give me a couple more minutes." She turned to the other warrior, an exasperated look on her face. "Crono, will you please talk to him? Help me out!" The reddish-brown haired warrior turned to his green companion.
"Are you in a rush to return to your own time, Glenn," he asked.
"Nay," Glenn replied. "Let us enjoy our time together, friend. I know not when Magus will reappear. I shall remaineth here." Crono nodded his head in agreement, however remained quiet.
"Crono!" a girl's voice shouted out. The boy turned in the direction of the voice, and stood from where he sat. A blonde girl with her hair pulled up into a ponytail came running down the hillside, towards the small group. A smile appeared on Crono's face as the girl drew nearer, and jumped into his outstretched arms.
"Hello Marle," Crono stated as the girl stepped away from him. She gave him a small peck on the cheek, and then turned towards the frog-warrior.
"Glenn, it's so good to see you again," Marle exclaimed. "I was ecstatic to hear you were back in our time. I apologize I wasn't able to get away from my duties sooner!"
"Worry not, Princess Nadia," Glenn stated, bowing his head briefly. "I knowest, true, your intentions."
"Glenn, don't address me so formerly," Marle exclaimed. "You know I don't like that." She looked at him sternly, however her face softened as a smile seemed to appear on Glenn's face. She leaned to the side to look past Crono, towards Lucca. "And hello to you too, Lucca!" The girl waved her hand in Marle's general direction, however did not turn away from her work. Marle looked back towards the two warriors. "When will she be done?"
"'Tis a mystery to me, Marle," Glenn replied, crossing his arms. Crono shrugged in response.
"There," Lucca exclaimed, slamming shut the hood of the machine. "I just put on the finishing touches." She wiped her hands on a raggedy, oil-soaked cloth as she joined her three friends. "The Epoch should be okay for one trip to Guardia in the past and back to our time, but that is all. Anything else and I think it wouldn't make it."
"Alright," Marle exclaimed. "When do we leave?"
"Marle, I think it will be best for Crono, Glenn, and me to go," Lucca stated with an apologetic look on her face. "You have your duties at the castle, and if Epoch breaks down again, I can be there to fix it."
"Nonsense, Lucca," Marle replied with a dismissive wave of her hands. "You said the Epoch can make one trip. Besides, I have some free time from my duties, and I'm dying to get away from the castle for a bit."
"Well, I don't know," Lucca said thoughtfully.
"Oh please, Lucca," Marle pleaded, grasping the other girl's hands in her own. "I never get to have any fun anymore." She put on her best pleading look, batting her eyelashes for good measure. "Please?"
"Oh, fine, Marle," Lucca conceded. "You can go in my place." Marle hugged her almost even before the words were out of her mouth, and Lucca returned the gesture. "I suppose Crono can make any small repairs the Epoch may need." She sighed, and walked over to the Epoch, placing her toolbox inside.
"I thank thee, Lucca," Glenn stated, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Thou'rt a good friend, to the future queen. I bid thee farewell."
"It was good to see you too, Glenn," Lucca replied, putting her hand over Glenn's. He nodded his head, and then hopped over to the Epoch, and into the machine.
"Thanks again, Lucca," Marle exclaimed as she climbed in after Glenn. Lucca rolled her eyesbut smiled, turning towards Crono.
"Don't worry, we'll return safely," Crono said briefly. Lucca nodded her head and gave her long-time friend a quick hug. He climbed into the driver's side, and as the top slid closed, she stepped away from the machine.
"Have a safe trip, then," she called out, her clothing billowing violently as the Epoch began to float up into the air. "Goodbye Glenn, Crono, Marle." The trio waved down towards Lucca and then the machine shot forward, disappearing in a bright flash.
As the Epoch flew through the wormhole of time, Marle turned towards Crono from the passenger seat. "It's really too bad Lucca couldn't' have come along, too," she stated. "Maybe she can have this thing built for four people, instead of three."
"Let us not dwell upon it," Glenn replied. "Desist thine worries. My trip was an accidental one. Had I known that portal had worked, I would'st ne'er gone near it." Both Glenn and Marle turned towards Crono as a small gasp escaped from his mouth.
"Crono, what is it," Marle asked, concerned. She looked over at him, and saw a look of concentration on his face. "Crono?"
"I've got to land," he stated shortly as a beeping sound from the console sounded. He pressed a sequence of buttons, and as the Epoch picked up speed, the three passengers were thrown back.
Glenn was the first to open his eyes. As his sight returned to him, he noticed that a forest surrounded him. He also noticed that he, as well as Crono and Marle, were outside of the Epoch. The two other warriors were sprawled on the ground unconscious. Glenn instinctively reached towards his sheath, where the Masamune lay. He exhaled a sigh of relief, and then hopped over towards where Crono was on the ground.
"Awaketh, Crono," Glenn stated, shaking the boy's shoulder. "Open thine eyes." Crono slowly sat up, blinking his eyes. He gave Glenn a questioning look. "Awaken Marle," Glenn continued, standing and taking in his surroundings.
"Ugh, Crono," Marle moaned, coming to. "What happened?"
"Art thou all right, Marle," Glenn asked, turning towards her. She nodded her head, and Crono helped her stand.
"Where is the Epoch," Crono asked as he looked around, not seeing the machine.
"Doust thou hath thine weapons," Glenn stated, checking his sword once again. The two nodded silently, as Glenn turned towards them. "Then we shall look for our machine." He began to hop off in no certain direction, and Crono and Marle followed silently.
"Where are we," Marle asked as the trio walked along. "We've been walking for a long time, and still no sign of the Epoch? How did we get thrown anyway?"
"I beseech thee, hold thy tongue," Glenn stated suddenly. He crouched down low to the ground, peering through some underbrush. "By the Gods," he stated, stepping out into the clearing. Crono and Marle followed.
"Oh no," Marle gasped. In front of the three warriors was Epoch. One of the wings had fallen off, broken, and some smoke rose from the hood. "How did this happen?"
"What fate has befallen us," Glenn asked, looking at the machine. Crono walked over toward the Epoch, to access the damage, while Marle and Glenn only stared. After a few silent moments, Crono turned towards them. "We'd better find a town," he stated. "Epoch needs repairs."
