Chapter 6. The End of Time
Crono, Marle, Lucca, and their new friend Robo arrived in a dark and quiet place. Surrounding them were black clouds. They walked up ahead noticing two buckets, an old lamppost, and a door behind the lamppost. Under the lamppost, an old man was standing there. Crono tapped the old man's shoulder. "Hey? Oh, I see we have new visitors." the old man said. "What do you mean by visitors?" Lucca asked. The old man took out his pipe and lit it. As he began smoking his pipe, the old man began to explain, "My name is Gasper and this is the end of time. When the four elements of magic step through a time portal they are instantly transported here." "What do you mean by elements of magic?" Marle asked. "See that door behind me, the creature in there can help you answer that question." Gasper told them and went back to smoking his pipe.
Crono and the others entered the room. They saw a small kiwalla creature. "Oh I see we have new friends that have the power of magic." the creature said excited. "We do not have any magical powers." Robo told the creature. "Sure you do, that why the old man let you in here." the creature answered. "So, how come we can use magic?" Crono asked. The creature looked at Crono and the said, "You mean you don't know the story of the Land of Magic?" the creature asked. "Nope." Lucca replied.
The creature began to think, then said. "Well then, I'll tell you the story. Long before any of you existed there was a place where everybody could use magic. But then everyone started to abuse the power and soon the power was lost. Now only wizards are allowed to have that kind of power. Throughout time there are a couple of people who have the power inside of them, they just need a little boost. I know this because I'm the Master of War and my name is Spekkio."
"So what are the powers of magic?" Lucca asked. Spekkio looked at everyone then said, " There are four types of magic, lightning, ice, fire, and shadow." Spekkio looked at Crono, " You with the punk-hairdo, your lightning." Then looked he looked at Marle, "You with the ponytail, your water." Next he looked at Lucca, "You with the goofy glasses, your fire." Finally he looked at Robo, "That's the biggest toy I've ever seen. Well I guess you can attempt to stop anyone with Shadow magic." Spekkio, then asked everyone to close their eyes and think magic. "IPSO-FACTO-MEENIE-MOE!!"
A flash of light filled the room and created a bright aura around the four new guests. "Well there you have it, you now experience the force of magic." Spekkio said. Crono and the others could feel their new powers surging through their bodies, even Robo could feel his metallic body with new power. "Thank you very much." Marle said. "Anytime friends, hey next time you should bring new comers here they might have the power of magic inside them too." Spekkio told them.
The four stepped outside the door and went to Gasper who was asleep. "Hey. I see that you also have learned the power of magic." Gasper said as he woke up. "Yes, this power feels incredible." Lucca said. "Now it is time for you to experience the real depths of time travel. See those lovely pillars of light. These pillars of light can connect to any time. Only three people are allowed to go through those pillars, so one of you must remain here." Gasper explained.
"Wait a minute one of us has will have to stay here alone." Lucca said. "Don't worry Lucca, I will stay here, you must warn your friends about Lavos." Robo told Lucca. Gasper looked at Robo, then said, "You won't be alone for long, bring new comers here. Gasper said. "Hey, I have an idea, we can use the time portal at the fair grounds." Marle suggested. "Well then, what are we waiting for, let's go." Crono, Marle, and Lucca went back to their time in 1000 AD to use the time portal at the fair grounds to tell the Z-fighters about Lavos.
Meanwhile, in the year 600 AD Magus had arrived in his castle, waiting for the next opportunity to destroy his enemies. " So, Magus you have failed me twice. Maybe back in 12,000 B.C. when Lavos first appeared he should've destroyed you just like he did with your sister Schala." Zeal said. Magus' fist began to tighten. He didn't like the fact that he had lost the one person he had shown affection to. "One day Zeal, you will realize that too much power can destroy you!" Magus shouted and went to his secret chamber. "He is getting on my last nerve." Zeal said. "Don't worry your majesty, when the time comes that fool will meet his own demise." Ozzie told her.
In the year 1000 AD, Crono, Marle, and Lucca ended up back home, but they were in the wrong place. "Great, we're suppose to be on the other side of the island." Marle complained. "What are humans doing here?" a voice called out. The voice came from another tiny blue imp. "You shouldn't be here. Don't you remember how the Mystics hate humans." the imp told them. "Then why are you helping us out?" Crono asked. "My motto is forgive and forget. Besides there's an old man by a cave to the west. I think you can have an interesting chat with him." the imp said.
As the three left outside the imp's house they headed west. "Hey, guys do you hear something?" Lucca asked. "Yeah it's coming from Medina Square." Crono said. They entered Medina Square and heard strange chanting. There was also something else strange. In the center of Medina Square, there was a statue dedicated to Magus. "Crono, I don't like this place let's get out of here." Marle told him a little scared.
They left Medina Square and headed west. They saw a cave and a small hut next to the cave. Inside the cave, an old man with sunglasses was looking outside the window. "Excuse me, sir." Marle said. "Huh, oh I see I have some customers. My name is Melichor. Would you like to buy something?" he asked. " No, we don't want anything, we just want to know how to get across to the other islands." Lucca explained. Melichor pointed to the cave and said, " Inside that cave is a whirlpool that can transport you across to the other island, but be very careful there is a beast guarding it. The Heckron beast has killed many soldiers who have tried to overcome the monster."
Crono, Marle, and Lucca headed towards the cave. They easily defeated the creatures inside the cave with their weapons. Crono and the girls could hear a strange and loud sound further in the cave. "GRRRRRR!!!" the voice yelled. "What's that strange noise?" Lucca wondered. As Lucca and Marle pondered the question, Crono could something big with sharp claws and teeth. " I think we're about to find out." As the furry creature came out the ground began to shake." It's the Heckron!" Marle yelled. The three kids attacked the monster with their weapons. "Huh, our weapons are useless." Lucca said.
"Hey we have the ability to use magic, let's test out our new powers." Crono said. He began to levitate and struck the monster with a lightning bolt. "Hey, that hurts!" Heckron growled. Marle and Lucca looked at each other and at the same time the girls attacked the Heckron. "Here eat this!" Marle shouted as she hurled a block of ice at the creature. "H-Hey, that's t-too c-cold." the creature said. " Then let me warm things up!" Lucca yelled as she created a fire ball and threw it at the monster. "No fair!" Heckron yelled. " If only the great Magus, leader of the Mystics had destroyed the human race when he summoned Lavos. We Mystics would've ruled forever!!" the Heckron shouted and died.
Crono, Marle, and Lucca looked at each other in shock. "Magus is behind Lavos." Marle said. "He's the one responsible for destroying our future." Lucca said. "Then what'd you guys say we put an end to this!" Crono said in anger. "Yeah, but we should ask for help. Let's go back to Leene Sqaure and ask Trunks and his friends to help out." Lucca suggested. They had finally reached Leene Square. They had used Lucca invention and the time portal appeared once more. The teens from 1000 AD were transported to Gohan's time. They had inform the others about Lavos. Hoping, they can stop Magus and save the future.e
