CHRONO CROSS: THE ONLINE NOVELAZATION
CHAPTER 3
Serge stood, prepared to fight, with the strange girl by his side. He ran up to the muscular person and attacked. Good damage. I leaped back, avoiding his swing of an axe.
The girl took the oppertunity to do damage on the muscular one. Pretty good damage too, Serge thought.
"General Karsh!" The tall man said. "His element attribute is-" he paused for a moment, "WHITE!"
"That would mean he is more susceptible to Black element attacks!" Karsh exclaimed. "Solt, do you have any Black elements?"
The tall man lowered his eyes to the ground. "No, sir, General Karsh sir,"
"IDOIT!" Karsh roared at Solt. "Peppor?"
"I'm shaking in my boots, to tell you this sir," the short man moaned, "but-but-"
"BUT WHAT?" Karsh was anry.
"I don't have any either, sir," the short man looked petrified.
"Oh well. Lets just kill the brats and go home."
Peppor suddenly used a Red element. it was Strength. He powered up Karsh. karsh ran at the girl and smacked her with his axe.
Serge called up a new element. He got it on his way up to my grave. It was ElectroJolt. It shocked them big time.
"AAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" They all screamed. Solt fell. Karsh and Peppor were left standing and Peppor was weak. The girl ran at Peppor and slashed him. He fell. Defeated.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Karsh screamed. He ran at Serge and swung his axe. He drew blood. Serge was weakened. The girl called up an element. It was Fireball. It hit Karsh repeatedly. Karsh fell. We won.
The girl asked me whether or not Serge had an element to help his gash. He told her he had a Cure element, but couldn't use it because the whole world was swirling white and he felt very weak.
"Shit!" the girl screamed. Karsh and his minions took off, not wanting to see the girl get pissed off again. She slid down to the beach and got water. She walked back up, and got a Capsule out. She ground it up and put it in the water.
"Drink this, mate," she whispered. Serge could barely move, but as soon as he drank it, his eyes were in much sharper focus.
TOLD BY SERGE
I got up, and tested my arms and legs. Everything seemed fine. Then I ran over and hugged the girl. I felt tears coming on.
"Thank you, thank you," I cried. I had almost died. The girl hugged me back. Then she stepped away from me.
"Yer welcome," she said, smiling. "M' name's Kid,"
I nodded. "Serge," I said.
"Now that we've gotten to know each other," Kid started, "let's get to Termina."
I gaped at her. "I-I barely know you," I stammered.
"Well, you look pretty lost, and I'm new to these here islands. We should probably stick together."
I shook my head no. Even though she saved my life, what if Leena remembers me? She'd be pretty damn pissed if she saw me with another girl.
"You'll regret it Serge," Kid said.
I was firm. She left, a bit disappointed. I bet she kinda liked me. I headed back for Arni Village.
I must have fallen asleep in front of the village. I don't remember being in Leena's room sleeping next to Leena- SLEEPING NEXT TO LEENA! I thought she hated me! I scrambled out of the bed and against the wall. Well, against the window shade. It flew up.
"Oh, good morning Serge-" Leena stopped suddenly. She stopped smiling. Her eyes filled with tears.
"I'm sorry," she said, "I accidently called you Serge. See, that was my friend's name who had died."
"I'm Serge!" I cried out loud.
"That's not funny," she said sniffling.
"How did I get here?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Oh, that," she began, "see, When i told my mom what happened, she told me to go up to Opassa Cliff and find you. It was way dark, so I couldn't see you. Then, on my way back, i found you sleeping by the entrance to Arni Village. What's all this about you being Serge? Wait, there was a BIG tidal wave over at Opassa Beach a few days ago. Did you come from there?"
I nodded. She closed her eyes, as if she was thinking hard. They snapped open. "Maybe you lost you memory! I'd better help you!
And just like that, she joined me on my quest to get home!
We were just out the door when her dog came in.
"Woof, Woof! I'll come too!" I leaned over and asked Leena if she knew she had a talking dog. She shrugged.
The dog's name is poochie, I found that out from leena as we continued walking. We suddenly stopped in our tracks.
"I'm sorry, this road is closed. Ghost are haunting this place. Unless you are the three investigaters?
"Yes, we are," I spoke up. Leena elbowed me.
"Serge! We could get in big trouble!"
"Relax," I said and we walked right through.
There were many monsters, but we avoided them all.
"HEY! You can't go down there!"
"Huh?" Leena said. We were climbing down a rock.
"Why not?" I yelled. I wasn't going to come back up.
"That area is strictly off limits," the guard answered. "I don't want to go against rules!"
"We're the investigators," I said. The guard shook his head no.
"Looked, if anyone asks, I hit you." I said. The guard sighed but let us through.
"I can see, woof, why he didn't want us down here, woof!" Poochie whispered. There was a gigantic bird. IT had its back turned to us.
"See that Egg?" I asked Leena and Poochie. They nodded. "I heard from an old man in Arni Village that if you incubate that in a certain volcano, you get a little dragon to come out and help you, guid e you."
I crept up to the Egg and stole it. The bird turned around and squoked angerly.
We screamed and scrambled up the rock.
"That's why I couldn't let you down there," looked up to see the guard, smiling with relief.
We were just out of there when we heard a voice coming from a huge skull that looked like it was from that giant bird's grandfather or something. A small skull bounced out of it, wearing clown makeupand a hat.
"WAIT!" it screamed. "Take me with you! I'm a bit heavy, but I can't remember anything. I need a body! Help me!"
In the end we decided to let him come along. He WAS heavy. EXTREMELY heavy. But we lugged him around anyway. We got to Termina at around nightfall. As soon as we stepped into town, Kid ran up to me.
"Serge! Ain't I glad to see-" she stopped when she saw Leena. "I'll wait 'til the date's over, mate. Then come see me." She took off.
We went inside a tavern. There I saw a man in the corner. He was floating and a staff was floating next to him... HEY!
"Hello, Serge," he said calmly, sipping his drink. I grabbed his shoulders (with some difficulty, because he was very tall).
"WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO YOU KNOW ME? WHAT AM I DOING HERE?"
