CHRONO CROSS: THE ONLINE NOVELAZATION
CHAPTER 2
TOLD BY SERGE
I woke up to a mouthful of the glittering, snow white sand. I was definately still in Opassa Beach. I got to my feet, sputtering. There wasn't any evidense of a tidal wave hitting the area. Had it died down? No way. That monster, just going away? It didn't make any sense. Where did Leena go? Did I die? Is this Heaven? I saw a man and a Komodo Dragon coming nearer. The man was a little strange. He wore a mask covering his and he was floating, carrying a long staff, which was also floating. I thought the dragon was attacking him. I withdrew my swallow.
"Woah, woah," he said, back up a bit, his hands in front of him.
"Isn't that Komodo attacking you?" I asked. To my surprised, the man lauged.
"Cody, attack me?" he choked out. "Cody is my pet. Everyone knows that."
I wasn't sure whether to agree or run away. A komodo dragon is dangerous to humans. I nodded, feeling very stupid.
"Well, I better get a move on. I have to be in Termina by nightfall," he muttered. "You best be heading back to Arni Village, Serge."
He swiveled on his hell and vanished, komodo in all. I stared at the spot where he was standing moments before. The Komodo was gone too. What the hell? Did they just vanish? It didn't make any sense to me, so I sprinted off the beach.
I got to Lizard Rock. There weren't any komodos or bech bums, but, flying fish. One just flew up to me and attacked.
I ran at it with my swallow. Brought it downas hard as I could. This time it died before I could use an element or have it attack me at all. This was cool.
There were more, but I avoided the battles. I went back to my village to see Leena. I burst into my home.
"Mom? I'm back! Is Leena still out on the docks?"
A girl answered me.
"Mom? I'm not your mom. This is not your house, either."
"But, but-" I tried to say but the girl pushed me out.
I ran to the docks, hoping Leena could help.
I saw the kids in the water, and Leena standing, watching over them. I tapped Leena on the shoulder. She turned to me.
"Hello? Is there something you want? I don't have all day," I stared with disbelief at her. A kid yelled from the water.
"Hey! Keep your hands off my sister Leena you jerk!"
I stared at the kid now. He was Leena's brother, Mike. We had swum together for 6 years.
"Mike! I'm just talking to him!" she went bright red and faced me.
"Hey, come to think of it, you do look a little familiar to me. You look like a kid I used to next to a long time ago...."
My insides leaped. Here we go! She remembers me!
"Yeah but he died, he died at the age of 7."
I must have hit the water, because next thing I knew, I was face up on te docks, all wet, and Leena giving me mouth-to-mouth. i sputtered and got up, shaking.
"D-died?" I said, not being able to believe it.
"Yes," Leena became real quiet.
"We went out in the water together 10 years ago. We swam out far. Suddenly he got caught in a current. He screamed. I told him I'd go get help. He kept on screaming. By the time I had gone to get someone, and we came back, I heard nothing. The man I got was a fisherman. I asked him to use his boat to see if my friend had passed out. We went out together. I remember seeing my friend facedown floating in the water. I screamed. The fisherman covered my eyes. Later there was a funeral. I engraved his grave at Opassa Cliff just north of Arni Village."
"What was his name?" Serge asked.
"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Leena screamed. She sat down on the docks and cried. I ran away, not being able to believe it.
Once I was out of Arni Village, I headed up to Opassa Cliff. There I saw a large rock. It must be the grave! Now I can prove that I'm Serge! I looked at the words and almost fell off the cliff.

Our Beloved Serge
1982-1989
He was barely allowed to live
We'll miss you...
Serge...
There was some more but I couldn't take it. I was dead? I shook my head. This must be an elaborate joke. I put my hand againts my stomach. I FELT real, but-
"Hey you! Kid! Didn't you know there's a law against haunting? We'll have to take you in!"
As I took a step back, they took a step forward. In a short time I stood where one more step back would end my life for real.
"Not if I can help it yeh yella-bellied bastards!" there was a voice. I turned round to see a young girl, about my age stnding on a high rock. She carried a crooked dagger. She had beautiful blond hair tied into a ponytail that went down to her knees. She jumped down from the rock and in front of me. I looked over her shoulder to see three men. One was tall, thin, and had a short, little mustach. Another was Short, fat, with brilliant red hair. The one in between was lean, muscular, and had gray-blue hair. They each had armor and carried weapons.
"Now, sweetie, MOVE ASIDE OR YOU'RE COMING TOO!" I withdrew my swallow and prepared to attack.
