Chapter 3: Lucca in 1000 AD
"Damn it, that wasn't the right wire!" Lucca, leaning over the side of Epoch's cockpit,
"fine-tuning" the wires, as the purple-haired scientist called it. Epoch, apparently not liking the
attention to its wires, gave out a series of low beeps and a shrill whistle. "I still don't know why
Balthasar decided to give you a personality. And quiet down! I know what I'm doing!"
Epoch was, essentially, a living time-hopping car... with wings. They had gained Epoch
from 2300 AD, in the Keeper's Dome at the base of Death Peak after charging Marle's pendant and
opening the door to Balthasar's workplace and hanger. Epoch was a vehicle with a mind of its own.
It had the ability to communicate in beeps, whistles, and whirrs, and the only thing stranger than the
way Epoch talks was that Lucca, as well as Robo, could actually understand it. Epoch gained the
ability to fly after Dalton, from 12,000 BC, commandeered it and modified it to his purposes. Epoch
didn't like this and was very relieved to have the weapons systems removed from it. Lucca was just
finishing up rewiring the controls.
"Okay, okay, Epoch! I'll give you a free oil job if you just stay quiet for one minute! Geez!"
Lucca quickly got out of the cockpit, and started walking around the room gathering papers and tools.
her foot got caught in a wire and she fell onto the dirty floor, getting dust all over her leather vest and skirt.
She got up, straightened herself out, then proceeded to pick up all the scattered things. She walked back
to the time travelling car and threw all the junk she was holkding in, then climbed in herself. She noticed
a dashboard had stopped functioning after a couple of wires short-circuited earlier. She used a screwdriver
to take out the dashboard, then used her pliers and solder, along with a very complicated map of Epoch's
wiring she picked up from Balthesar before they left, to begin work on the shot wires.
A few minutes later, Lucca was wishing that she'd worn her gloves before working on this. every
other tweak she did sent up a shower of sparks onto her hands and into her glasses. "Damn it, Epoch, gimme
a break here! I'm doing this as carefully as possible!" Epoch gave a few whistles and Lucca shook her head. "Look,
the wiring is shot here, and if you don't tone that voltage, I'm gonna get fried before I sort out this mess called a
control panel!" Epoch beeped a few times, then remained silent. Lucca continued working, this time, thankfully, without
all those sparks in her face. "Lessee what we have here... green to red... then red to purple with a cutoff to blue... let's
try it- SHIT!" There was a small explosion, and lucca was knocked into the back of the cockpit, her face covered with
black, burned dust.
"Okay, that scratches the control panel for time-travel. I can fix that later, now that you're ready to fly, lets-"
Lucca looks around after clearing off her glasses and realizes her house is gone, and they were sitting on a barren landscape.
The ruins of a castle could be seen in the background. "What happened here??? Come on, Epoch!" Lucca placed her hand
on a pad near the control joystick. Epoch started up, then Lucca punched three buttons on an alpha/numeric keypad just under
the hand pad. The wings at the side of Epoch swung out with a swoosh, and Epoch hovered into the air. Gripping the joystick,
Lucca eased Epoch higher into the sky.
Epoch gave out a series of clicks and beeps, then a short low whistle. "I don't know where Crono and Marle could be!"
Lucca said, "I was fixing you so- Wait, there they are!" She slammed on the gas and tipped the joystick to her right towards the
three figures she saw in the lifeless sea bed. She flicked down her Sight Scope over her left eye and checked to make sure. It
confirmed the presence of Crono, Marle... and Magus.
(What's Magus doing here? I thought he was gone for good, and hello! What's this?) Lucca thought as she trained
her Scope onto the new figure making its way out of the open portal behind Magus. "Oh, it's Robo! Hurry, Epoch!"
