CHRONO CROSS: THE ONLINE NOVELAZATION



CH. 4


"Serge, calm down!" Leena coaxed. I put my hands down at my sides. And ran from the pub.


I ran until I got to a statue at the top of the city. There I sat. I sighed heavily.


"Hey, kid!" I looked up to see the skull bounce out of my pack. He began bouncing aroud, while people gave him nervous looks. I grabbed him and held him in my hands.


"What do you know about what I'm going through, clown?" I asked. I realized this was pretty rude, but, what else do I call him? Skully?


"WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH? Look at me! I-I'm a skull clown! I have to bounce around to get where I want to go. What you're going through..." he muttered. "I don't know who I am, who I was, this kind of stuff. What you're going through..."


I put him back in my pack, much to his dismay.


"Hey! I'm not done talkin' here! Why you little-" I buttoned my pack and went to go look for Leena and Poochie.




"Hey! Serge!" I looked around to find Kid staring at me.


"Kid!" I shouted. She ran up to me and hugged me.


"Oh gosh, I was worried, 'ah 'idmit! I thought you'd got yerself blown up er somethin'."


I was glad Kid actually cared for me. But, blow myself up?


She kissed me. Leena came by with Poochie.


"Serge! Who's that?" she practically screamed. Before I could possibly answer, she screamed again.


"You know, I'm sure that I liked you, but you just messed up those chances. I'm GOING HOME!"


Off she went.


"Leena! WAIT!" Poochie wailed while runnning after her. Kid shrugged and led me to a house hear an Indian's hut.


She dragged me inside.


"There was a man - or was it a woman? I couldn't really tell from the back of his/her head. He/she had shoulder length hair. I tapped his/her shoulder.


"Sacre Bleau! Have you seen my medal for Heroism? Eet ees a very special medal, eet ees made of pure silver."


He tured back around to his mirror and didn't talk anymore. I shrugged at Kid and we walked outside. There was a boy running around in front of the blacksmith's house. He turned to us and said,


"Hey! Look at this shiny medal I found on the ground! I think it's a medal for honor."


"Ya know, kid," Kid said to the kid. "This b'longs to a friend o' ours. Can we have it back?" THe kid looked at her.


"I would be stealing if I didn't give it back. I just found it on the ground." He put it in my hand and said, "Sorry."


"That's alright kid," I said to the boy. He smiled and ran off.


"That kid was real nice." Kid said. I nodded.


"At least he didn't steal from others like you two punks! That's my medal!"


He pulled out a sword. I withdrew my swallow and Kid pulled out her dagger.


He ran at Kid first. Kid ducked. He got her in the leg, though. Iscreamed with fury and ran at the man. I attacked him again and again. He was weak. Kid ran at him and attacked him. He fell. Spectators were staring at us. We put our weapons away.


"Don't leave me!" The man cried. I walked over to him.


"If I heal you, you owe me and my friend," I said. He nodded. I withdrew my new element, RecoverAll. I healed Kid and the man. He stood up and nervously went digging in his pack. He brought out some silver. He handed it to me and took off running. I tuned to Kid.


"Wow! That's enough silver to make new weapons for both of us!" she exclaimed.


"That man!" I said. She nodded and we rushed his room.





He was still grumbling about how many people he had to kill to get the award when i presented it in front of his face. It broke into a smile.


"YOU FOUND IT!" I nodded and Kid smiled. He jumped up.


"Hello! My name ees Pierre, and I vould be honored if I could accompany you on your journey." I nodded. I remembered Pierre. He was a champianship and master swordsman. I smiled. So did Kid. So did Pierre. Kid spoke up.


"We gotta go to the Viper Manor," I didn't ask why. I just knew I'd get a long explanation. "It's where those guys are that attacked you Serge." I remember at Opassa cliff. Karsh, Solt, and Peppor. I chuckled at their stupidity.


"My medal might get us into ze Manor," Pierre said. I nodded. Kid looked at me.


Where was Viper Manor?......
