Crono looked at Chellao. It was hazy.
"I'll be back," Lucca said.
"Nice place huh, Crono?" Marle said pulling out her bow. Crono nodded. They were on a island, surrounded by glistening water. "Better start swimming," Marle shrugged. Crono put his hand in the water. He withdrew his hand quickly.
"Mystics. Nereids, five at least," Crono said hastily. Marle drew her bow and equipped it with charcoal burners. Crono threw Marle in the air. An explosion came from the lake.
"Guard the water!" a deep voice yelled. Crono saw 50 Ayla/Kino look-alikes.
"Drop your weapons, Lava-King betrayers!" Marle shot a dozen people.
"Get it!" a green haired Ayla said. Many cave people shot maple coloured spears at Marle. Marle looked at Crono. Crono let out a huge lightning bolt. Marle used a similar ice attack.
"Run!" Crono yelled. Just then, the Epoch landed above the water.
"Get on the wing!" Lucca yelled. A arrow hit Crono's arm. Crono managed to get on the wing. Marle bent down and mumbled something. The arrow wound disappeared.
"Thanks," Crono mumbled.
"Crono?" a croaky voice said. Crono turned around to see Frog.
"Frog! How are ya going?" Crono said happily.
"Good, if you want to know, I speak like you guys now!" Frog replied.
"Hi Magus, found Schala?" Marle asked.
"Hmph, no…" Magus said roughly.
"Look out!" Lucca screamed. A boy that looked like Crono but had green hair jumped on the ship and held a knife to Marle.
"Take me or it gets it!" he mumbled. Lucca mouthed something to Crono.
"Get away from Marle!" Frog threatened.
"Shuddup…You want to get rid of La…vos? Then take me…family die." he said. Crono looked at him.
"What's your name?" Crono asked.
"Chrano. You Crono right? I like you so I took your form." the kid Chrano said.
"Ah, thanks." Crono stammered.
"Why do you like him?" Magus said angrily.
"He cool, you not obviously." Chrano said tauntingly . Magus tried to attack Chrano but Frog drew his sword.
"Don't try!" Frog croaked. Chrano gave Magus a triumphant look.
"Stop fighting!" Marle shouted. Chrano, Frog and Magus stopped talking. Marle turned to Chrano. "Now…where is Lavos?" Marle asked sweetly.
"I think…"Chrano mumbled. He gazed up at the three suns. "It's their feeding time. So Lavos would be at the tech centre." Chrano whispered.
"Good, now we take out Lavos…destroy this 'tech centre' and kill the Lavos supporters." Magus said simply.
"It's not that easy. Many people try kill them. Failed. Without Lavos it's believed that this planet will disappear." Chrano sniffed.
"Chrano, how many used magic?" Lucca asked.
"Magic? It's not allowed to be used. Punished if you do." Chrano answered.
"How powerful are your people? Are they primitive or really advanced?" Crono asked.
"Lavos has info from every planet. He was born here. This is where Lavos began so he wouldn't destroy us." Chrano mumbled.
"So…you're a Lavos supporter?" Magus growled.
"N-no!" Chrano said like he was lying.
"Where is the tech centre?" Frog asked.
"Not far. Big blue building." Chrano said smiling.
"Crono I hope this isn't a trap." Marle whispered. Crono saw a reflection in Frog's sword. Chrano's skin turned white and instead of green eyes, red eye twinkled evilly. Crono turned around quickly. Chrano was normal.
"What the?!" Crono muttered.
"Yes Crono, I am a Lavos supporter and a cyborg! But hey, at least you will be able to battle Lavos in the gardens!" Crono heard in his head. Crono knew nobody else could hear this. Lucca flew the Epoch and landed it on top of the tech centre. Oh no! Chrano led them into the tech centre.
