Chrono Cross+
Schala's Ghost
By AnimeGamer
---------------------
It was 3 days after that fateful return to Guardia. It was morning when castle horns of Guardia castle blasted loud. A guest had arrived at the castle.
Serge slowly awoke.
'Boy, this blanket is really conformable...' Serge looks down to see Kid on top of him, her head laying on his chest.
'That's why...'
"Morning..." Kid said out of the blue.
"Morning." Serge said simply. 'I'd outta kick myself...'
Suddenly, Lucca came in the room, Kid instantly jumped out off Serge and was standing next to the bed of which Serge layed in.
"HOHOHOHO!!! My lil sister has a boyfriend!"
Serge sweatdropped at this comment.
"No I dont!" Kid said instantly, Lucca went over to behind Kid's shoulder, blocking off anything said between them from Serge.
"He's a good catch." Kid blushed madly, but hid it from the other two in the room and stormed out of the room. Leaving a laughing Lucca and a sweatdropping Serge. Lucca then turned to Serge.
"Crono wants to see you. He asked you go to the castle as soon as you can. Well, I better be on my way, I have alot of stuff to do today." Lucca said as she left, closing the door, leaving a still sweatdropping Serge.
*************
"Sire, you wish to see me?" Serge said.
"You do not have to be formal here, in the armory room where I requested to see you. You may just call me Crono."
"Okay..."
"I wanted to see you because of your past. In your adventure, your father said you were a "Chrono Trigger." I want to know why your father called you that."
"I...dont understand it myself. All I know is that im supposed to be dead in one realm, and alive in another."
"I see...well, your not alone in that status."
"What?"
"You see, I was supposed to be dead after saving everyone, but I was revived somehow. We may have become Chrono Triggers because we both are supposed to be dead."
"I...see..."
A Guardia soldier entered the room.
"Sire, the guest Magus requests to talk to you."
"I will be a moment."
"Yes sire." The soldier bowed his head and hastely left the room.
"Have you crossed dimensions before?" Serge asked.
"No, our adventures are different but at the same time linked. You saved what we saved. We saved a future, you saved the present. Even if we, when we travelled to the future, were to fight Lavos, he would've been the Time Devourer, and we might've had no chance against a strong foe like that. We were lucky you came along and killed it before it became strong."
"I see...but...we were asked before defeating the Time Devourer to save someone named Schala."
"Schala???" A voice repeated. Magus then entered the room, and stepped in front of Serge.
"Do you know where my sister is?" Magus asked bluntly.
"No...all I know is that she is dead now." Serge said.
"No...my sister...it cannot be. I will not accept this fact!" Magus said. Kid then entered the room and stood next to Serge.
"Hey Serge, where have you been? I've been ---" Kid was interupted by Magus, who hugged her.
"I cant believe you are alive!" Magus said.
"Of course im alive you idiot! Now can you stop hugging me!" Kid said, shoving off Magus.
"Magus, she is not your sister. If I remember what Lucca told me, she is a clone of her."
"A...clone? My sister mastered the clone technique?" Magus said.
"I dont know what your talking about, but im not Schala! for the final time, IM NOT SCHALA!" Kid yelled and stormed out.
"Im sorry...Kid has been uptight about her being a clone. Besides, we could not save Schala. We were supposed to use this..." Serge showed the Chrono Cross.
"But it self-destructed itself before we can use it to seperate your sister from the Time Devourer. Im sorry..."
"No...I will not accept this outcome. I will go myself to when you faced the Time Devourer and save her from that menace."
"But killing the Time Devourer didnt work! Look, im just as upset as you in not being able to save someone, but there is nothing we can do. Even if you went back, it will not change the fact I was not able to seperate her from the Time Devourer before it self-destructed itself. I take all the blame for it, alright? It's my fault I couldn't save her...I think I'll go now..."
Kid stood outside the room, listening the whole time, stood shocked at Serge's remark, but ran off before Serge could find her.
----------------
After things settled down, everyone sat at the table for dinner. The King, Crono, and the Queen, Leene (Marle) sat at one end, on the other end sat Serge and Kid, with Lucca to Kid's right, and Magus to Serge's left. Glenn (Frog) sat next to Lucca, and the prime minister sat next to Magus, in between the dark sorcerer and the king.
"Kid, why are so silent?" Serge asked, looking at her. Suddenly, everyone was just looking at her, who just sat there.
"Look Schala, why dont you just eat?" Lucca said, this question made Magus raise his head, and lower it again, as he resumed eating.
"..."
"Kid, what happened? Why are you silent?" Marle asked.
"..."
"Is it because of Schala, or you and ---"
Kid just stood up and left, not even touching her food. Serge looked at all of them, wonder faces except Magus's stern one. He stood up as well and ran after Kid.
-----------------
Kid ran and ran.
She just ran. She wanted to be by herself.
'Why?' was the only thing running though her mind. She outran the weak monsters that lurked around. Serge killed the monsters with a quick slice of the Mastermune to each monster as they came and tried to keep pace.
Kid finally stopped, due to the fact she couldnt run anywhere else. The forest around her was too thick. Kid then took out the Astral pendant and the time egg that was half broken. Serge just arrived to her when she walked forward only to disappear into a time portal. Serge ran with all he had but just as he leaped to get in the portal, but a monster came out of nowhere and hit Serge away from diving into the portal. Serge then tried to get up, but the monster stabbed him in the shoulder,
"KID!!!!!!!"
The monster kicked him in the face, knocking Serge out. Just as it was about to go for the kill, a 'Fire 3' spell incinerated the monster.
'Kid...'
"Serge? Serge! We need to get him to the queen to heal him, immediately!" Lucca yelled out to the Guardia soldiers, who picked up Serge and quickly ran back to the castle.
-------------------------
Ah, you thought I wouldn't come back and finish this story eh? Well, I went back and did small edits in the first two parts, and wrote this part. Well, I was originally aiming for a full 12 part series of this story, but then when I got back to writing this, I completely forgot what I was aiming for at the end. So, anyway, I just decided to come back and finish this unfinished story. I think I was also aiming for a S+K fic, but I scrapped most of that idea out too. Well anyway, I'm most likely going to wrap this up really soon, so reviews or no reviews, im going to finish it, and then try to get my PSX back so I can finish FF9 so I can start writing stories in the ffn FF9 area. I'll also maybe write another short story later on, but until then, just enjoy this story.
