Chapter 6: Karsh's Absence
"So, like before we go to Termina, don't we like, have a lot of people with us? I mean, this is like, a like, really like, big group, y'know. Some of us can stay at Arni. Like, maybe we can get some information there. There's bound to be at least one person that knows something about the Time Stones in this world besides Otch," Marcy said.
"Some of us could go to Another World and get Karsh. Half of us in Another World, half of us in Home World. I have my key to both of the worlds, I dunno about you, though," Glenn said.
"I've got mine. Heh, why, of course I have mine! How do you think I got intah Viper Manor, eh Glenn?" April bragged.
"Shut up," he snapped.
"Make me!" she hissed. She stuck her tongue out at him. He raised an eyebrow at her, then turned his back to April. He was silent for a few seconds.
"I do not have to listen to you. Why am I still doing so? Serge, sorry, but I will be back later. I am not going to let her spoil my attitude any more," Glenn said, snickering at April.
"Humph. You're cute, but I can live without you, y'know," she said. Glenn blushed and ran out of the group. Marcy sighed.
"Oh, like, thanks a lot, April!" she said, her voice filled with sarcasm. "I wish Glenn were still here…" she said, more calmly. She glared a mean look at April. Then she stuck her tongue out at her. "You just had to go brag about your stupid achievements, didn't you!? I hate you! Die!" Marcy said, running off.
"… What have I done? I'm going to start World War III before we even get the 1st time stone… I'm sorry," April said, ashamed. Leena put her hands on her hips.
"Well, I have to admit, I'm not to happy, either. I'm heading back to Arni. Erica, Una, c'mon," Leena said, walking away. Una followed but Erica pounded her foot into the ground to show she wasn't leaving.
"I wanna go with them! I mean, c'mon! Have a little adventurous spirit! If you wanna stay in Arni, that's fine, but I'm not coming!" Erica declared. Leena left without her.
"Thanks, Erica…" April said, still ashamed.
"Aw, it'th okay, April. We're grad to help you out. Thith'll be a thinch if we all thtay together!" Poshul said.
"Yeah! I'm new at this, and I don't really have a clue what's going on either, but Otch stopped and talked to me, too!" Kiki said.
"Really?" Serge said.
"Well, yeah! He told me about the Zella Dynasty and Queen Zella and King MasaKon. He told me that he didn't tell you that, but oh well, I guess you know now, huh?" Kiki said.
"I guess so…" Serge said to himself.
"Well, I'm not wastin' any more time!" April said, running out of Lizard Rock. She got out a strange bronze, cylinder bell of some sort, tossed it in the air, and when she caught it, her, Poshul, Kiki, Serge, Erica and Pup were transported to Another World.
ANOTHER WORLD
"I'll bet my arse that Glenn's headed for Another World Termina. As much as he hates my guts right now, and as much as Marcy now hates me, I think I'm gonna go bug 'em some more!" April shouted. Then she stopped, and sat down on a hollow log right next to her. "Damn… Glenn's as noble as he is handsome, and I just can't let him go like that, y'know… sorry about the swear, but I had to let it out. I usually don't do that…" April said.
"No probrem. Jutht be happy Leena ithn't here. The'd get all over your hide. The hateth it when people thwear," Poshul explained.
TERMINA
"What!? Not here!? B-but, that's like, not right! Why isn't he here? Like, where did he like, go?" Marcy asked. Glenn and Marcy were at Zippa and Zappa's, looking for Karsh.
"Ye don't know? Ah ain't got no idea, either! Zappa 'n I've been lookin' everywheres for 'im, and he's nowhere to be found! Ye'd think he'd be in Viper Manor, being one of the 4 Devas like Zappa 'ere used to be, but he's not there either!" Zippa said.
"Guldove?" Marcy asked Glenn.
"Maybe, but I doubt it…" Glenn said back.
"Well, if he's not there, here, or at Viper Manor, then like, well, where else can he, like, be?" Marcy asked.
"I dun know, Marcy… but I really doubt that Karsh is at Guldove… I really, really do…" Glenn kept saying.
"But, like… Karsh… Steena… disco style pants… Karsh has found love beyond like, Riddel… like, Karsh and Steena…" Marcy said.
"Oh, what? Sittin' in a tree? K-I-S-S-I-N-G? First comes love, then comes-- naw, that is just too… I dun know… weird for me," Glenn said.
"Why? You don't think they'd look good together? Do you think him and Riddel are better!? Huh!? Is that it?" Marcy argued.
"Fine, fine… I bet you he is at Guldove… fine, you win," Glenn said, giving up. He and Marcy stepped out of the blacksmith shop and discussed Karsh's absence there. Then, Serge, Kiki, Pup, Erica, Poshul and April came running, and stopped right in front of them. Marcy stared at them evilly.
"Like, I thought I like, said I HATE YOU! Why won't you like, just go away?!" Marcy screamed. April walked up to the two.
"Well, you're such a cute little girl…" April started, patting Marcy on the head. Marcy folded her arms.
"Like, WHAT-EVER!" she shouted. Then April turned to Glenn.
"And you're such a cute… guy!" April said, blowing him a kiss. Glenn saw that she had a letter of some sort in her hand and snatched it from her. "Hey! You could've asked, ya know!" April hissed at him. Glenn read the letter silently to himself, then looked at her.
"Where did you find this? It's from Karsh," he said.
"Like, I know that…" April said, somewhat mimicking Marcy's "accent". "Where did I find it? Oh, um… itwasinsideyourhouseunderyourtrophy…" April said.
"What!? How do you know where I live!? This is ridiculous! What else do you know about me?" Glenn asked, passing the letter to Marcy. Marcy eyed April instead of the letter, as she was curious, too. Glenn waited for her response, as it was nothing at the moment.
"Weeeeell… um… I know all about the Einlanzers… and the MasterMune," April said, eyeing Serge on the "MasterMune" part. "I also know about the Chrono Cross, and Serge is the Chrono Trigger. And I know that you kinda have the hots for Orlha, Glenn," she said, winking at him.
"Oh! I do not!" Glenn snapped at April. April smiled.
"Tee hee!" Marcy giggled.
"Hey! Let's try to focus more on Karsh than on my love life, okay?" he asked.
"Right… okay…" Kiki said.
