Chapter 8: The Prehistoric Era

At Capsule Corp. Bulma, Marle, and Lucca were making modifications on the gate key. "Here's the problem, the time spectrum is detached from the space-continum module." Bulma said. "Oh yeah, I thought so." Lucca responded slapping her head. Marle on the other hand was trying to figure out what they were talking about.

Suddenly there was a flash of light in the room. "Gohan, your back!" Chi-chi yelled and gave her son a big hug. "That was fast. What happened?" Android 18 asked. Crono took out the blade of the Masamune. " We found the blade of the sword." Crono told them. "We also found the legendary hero." Trunks said. "Well who is?" asked Bulma. "Marle, Lucca remember that frog who helped us defeat Yakra. He's the legendary hero." Crono explained. "WHAT!!! How can a frog be a hero?" Lucca asked. " I don't know." Crono responded scratching his head. "For some reason he doesn't want to help us defeat Magus." Gohan said as Chi-chi finished hugging him.

Bulma noticed something written on the sword. "Hey did you notice the writing on the sword." Bulma asked. "Yeah, we came back to see if you can figure it out." Trunks said handing the blade to his mother. Bulma carefully analyzed the sword. "Let's see I think it says M...E...L...I...C...H...I...O...R. Melichoir. Who is that?" she asked. "That's the guy we met back home." Marle said. "Well then let's go back and talk to him." Lucca said as she grabbed the modified gate key. "We'll be back." Crono said. "Wait. I'll go this time." Piccolo said. Gohan agreed to go with him. Crono handed the gate key to Piccolo and Gohan. They headed for the year 1000 AD.

In the year 1000 AD, Piccolo and Gohan noticed that it was very quiet. They headed west to Melichoir's hut. When Piccolo and Gohan entered the hut, Melichoir jumped in fear. "Why have you come here mystic creature?" Melichoir asked staring at Piccolo. "No he won't hurt you. He is a friend." Gohan explained. Melichoir got up from the floor. "We want to know why your name is on this blade of the Masamune." Piccolo asked. Melichoir looked at the blade of the Masamune.

"How long has it been since I saw this blade?" How did you find it?" Melichoir asked. Gohan and Piccolo explained to Melichoir about Crono and the others finding the Masamune. They also told him about Frog being the legendary hero in the Middle Ages. "Oh I see. The only way to restore the Masamune is with a dreamstone. But there aren't any stones. All the dreamstones were discovered in the prehistoric era of 65,000,000 BC." Melichoir explained. "So, if we find a dreamstone, then you'll be able to forge the Masamune." Gohan said. "Yes, but like I told you before... What where did they go." Melichoir thought.

Gohan and Piccolo headed back to Capsule Corp. They explained to everyone about the dreamstone. "So you guys have to travel to the prehistoric era to get a dreamstone." Bulma said. Gohan nodded. "Yeah and we better hurry if we want to stop Magus before he has a chance to summon Lavos."


Meanwhile in the year 600 AD, "Ozzie where is Magus?" Queen Zeal asked. "I have not seen him all this time your majesty." Ozzie said. "Well then if he is not here it is time for me to go back to the year 12,000 BC and continue my quest in resurrecting Lavos." Queen Zeal said. "Oh and whatever happens in this time make sure Magus meets his demise as quick as possible." she said.

Back at Capsule Corp. Crono, Marle, Lucca, Gohan, and Piccolo went to the year 65,000,000 BC to find the dreamstone.
