Chapter 29: The Fate of All Worlds
" No one can stop fate from running its course." The middle core spoke. " No! I'm not going to let you destroy our future!" Crono yelled. He charged for the core and attacked it with his sword. The two smaller cores next to the middle one served as a defense.
The second the rainbow touched the middle core, the two small cores activated a barrier. " Foolish, boy! No one can defeat me." The core said. " How are we supposed to fight that thing?" Marle asked. Everyone stared at the core in silence. " We've got to get rid of the core's defenses." Lucca said. Everyone agreed to Lucca's plan.
Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Androids 18, Vegeta, and Trunks combined their energy attacks into one blast. The gigantic energy blast headed straight for one of the defenses. The smaller core was unable to defend itself and was destroyed. " That takes care of one of your defenses." Goku said.
Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Robo, and Ayla attacked the other defense core. " Your done for Lavos!" Crono yelled. The remaining core grew furious to see his defenses were destroyed. " You'll pay for destroying my defenses!" the core yelled.
Suddenly, the core noticed that Magus was not fighting at all. " At least one of you humans have a brain." the core said. Crono and Goku tried to approach Magus, but were stopped. " Huh! There's a strong force field around him." Crono said. " No one will be able to break that force field." The core told them.
Goku walked up to the force field and tried talking to Magus. " What's wrong?" he asked. Magus did not answer. He lost in his own thought. " We were never meant to win." He said. " You can't let Lavos control your destiny. Just because he the one who ruined your life in the past, he can't ruin your future." Marle told him. The wizard still did not respond. " That fool knows that I cannot be beaten. No one can stop me. I made Magus into what he is today." The core said.
" You're responsible for ripping apart his life!" Gohan yelled. " Of course. Magus or should I say Janus served me well. But I longer need him. Even though his world gave me life, I will destroy the final person who knows about my power." The core said.
The core erased the force field around Magus. " I will use my ultimate power of darkness. DARK DESTRUCTION!" A beam of dark energy headed straight for Magus. " Look out!" Frog yelled. Frog leaped into the air and pushed Magus out of the way. But Frog couldn't escape the blast in time. " Frog!" Marle yelled and ran to him. Everyone followed Marle.
They saw Frog's lifeless body. " That takes care of one of you." The core said laughing. Magus walked over to the others. " I don't understand. We were enemies and yet he saved my life." Magus said. Frog slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone then said, " M... Maybe enemies... can... become... fri... friends." Frog spoke softly. " Frog you've got to stay quiet, you need your strength." Goku said.
Frog slowly looked at everyone. " No . . . Tis' . . . time . . . I join . . . Cyrus . . . Farewell . . . " Frog said and died. " NO!" Crono yelled. Magus tightened his fist and stared at Lavos' core. " Aw. What's the matter? Did I upset you?" the core asked sarcastically.
" You'll pay for ruining my life and killing my friend!" Magus yelled. Marle started to cry, suddenly her pendant started glowing brightly. " Marle, your pendant it's glowing." Lucca said. " What is that horrible light?" the core cried out. Marle took off her pendant and held it in her hands. Lavos' core started getting weaker. " That pendant is the source of defeating Lavos." Goku said.
" Come on Marle, you can do it!" Crono cheered. " I don't think I have enough strength." Marle said struggling to over power the pendant. Magus walked up to Marle and put his hands underneath Marle's. The pendant's power started to grow stronger.
Everyone nodded and combined their strength and power to the pendant. " Pay back time for all the suffering you've caused!" Crono yelled. " This is for all the innocent people you hurt!" Goku yelled. Lavos' core could not hold back the intense power of the pendant. " This can't be!" the core yelled.
Crono, Marle, Lucca ,Ayla, Robo, Magus, Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Piccolo, Trunks, Krillin, and Android 18 unleashed the final blow which put an end to Lavos' reign of terror. The entire time portal was filled with a bright light. The portal finally closed, leaving everyone on the ground unconscious.
