Chapter 4
Old Trouble & New Alliances
It was days before Serge was able to leave Marle's cabin
under his own power. When he was
finally able to leave, he thanked Marle for her hospitality and went out to
find Crono's house. Marle told him that
it would take about two days to get there, but it had been four days and Serge
still hadn't made it.
"She probably meant two days on horse," Serge said to
himself. Not being able to go much
further Serge decided to set-up camp about 20 miles from Crono's place. That was the best judgment that he could
make based on the directions that he got.
"I'll always love you Serge" Said Kid. "Well, don't you love me? Why can't you tell me you love me
Serge? Do you not love me? Is that it?" Serge found himself not able to talk. "Why don't you love me?
It was the last thing that I ever said to you! I hate you Serge! I HATE
YOU! Just die! DIE SERGE!" Kid plunged her dagger deep into Serge's
chest.
"NO!" Serge woke up
screaming and sweating profusely. "Oh god. Kid."
Serge looked up at the moon. He had learned to get a close approximation
of the time by looking at the moon. It
was around 4 am. Not being able to
sleep anymore, and not wanting to sleep, Serge decided to finish the walk to
Crono's house. It had just broken dawn
by the time Serge could see the house.
"For a guy who saved the world, he has a pretty small house"
Serge said to himself. He walked up to
the front door and knocked three times.
The door opened.
"Can I help you?" A
man said
"Are you Crono?"
Serge asked
"Yes I am. Do I know
you?"
"Marle sent me."
Serge said what Marle told him to say.
"This must be bad.
Come in." Crono looked outside
first before he shut door.
"So what is this about?"
Asked Crono.
Serge explained everything that had happened.
"I see. Well, it's
been five years since I last went out on adventure. But it sure would be nice to go on one again."
"Then you'll help me!"
Serge said.
"You got it." Crono
said.
"Zat iz not very smart."
"How the hell did you get in here Harle!" Crono said
"I zee that you remember me Crono. Mon Serge. How's your
chest."
"Get to the point Harle."
Said Serge
"How about I do that."
A tall figure walked through the doorway. Due to the lack of light in the room, it was
hard to see who it was exactly, but they both knew it was Lynx.
"Harle told me you wanted to change fate. Let me tell you now that it is not
possible."
"It is possible Lynx, and I will do it." Serge said.
"I think I'll just stop you now Mon Serge." Harle threw out some sort of boomerang type
object, which shifted form and wrapped up Serge and Crono in some sort of
electric field.
"Mon Serge, Crono, I wish zit didn't have to come to zis."
"I'll let you finish them off Harle. Harle?"
Lynx looked over at Harle and saw that an arrow had pierced threw her
heart. The field had dropped of off
Serge and Crono. All three of them
looked over at Harle. She collapsed
revealing someone behind her.
Marle. She had also brought a
crossbow with her, which she was now pointing at Lynx.
"We shall finish this later." Lynx said. Marle shot her
crossbow but it hit the wall. Lynx had
disappeared.
