Chrono Cross
Chapter 2: Crono's Vision
Guardia Kingdom, 23 yrs earlier....
~CRONO'S DREAM~
"Crono...."
"Crono...."
"What!? who's there!"
"Do not be afraid....."
Crono searched everywhere in the darkness for the voice that called his name. Everywhere he looked he could not find the body the voice belonged to. he continued his frantic search in his dream, only to turn every corner and to find nothing in sight. then he heard that laugh.....the evil manical laughed he tried so hard to forget.
"What's wrong Trigger.....you seem....scared??" the familiar voice said from within the darkness. "have you already forgotton who I am!?"
No! it can't be!? LAVOS!!! he thought to himself. How can Lavos still be alive!? he, Marle, Lucca, Frog (aka Glen), Magus, Ayla and Robo all defeated him! surely this was a bad dream and he would wake from it soon. but....try as he might he couldn't wake up...its like the dream was holding him within.
"ahhh....you do remember me Trigger......yes your right look above you and you will see!"
Reluctantly Crono looked up. right there infront of him was a red glowing star....he couldn't make out what it looked like other than an Illuminated body. but then the star started getting bigger and brighter. and when it was within a few feet of Crono, the glow faded showing a strange figure that resembled nothing of the Lavos that the young hero remembered. instead infront of him was a human like form.....Crono, thinking instinctively tried to go for his Masamune but it wasn't there. he became frozen as he seen this glowing figure lifting up a hand while staring at the young hero.
"Now Trigger......you DIE!!!!!"
A blast came towards Crono, he was paralyzed and couldn't move. he watched as his life flashed before his eyes. but then somthing else happend.....a bluish white light appeared in front of the young lad and shielded him.
"WHAT!? YOU!!!"
"Lavos.....I won't let you have your way with this world anymore! it belongs to the Humans, Demihumans and other lifeforms.....your rule over them is at an end! one day there will be two Triggers that you will have to face! even with your new form you won't be able to stand a chance against them or thier friends!"
"Hahahaha! such bold words for a Princess who is no longer alive. but don't worry....I can take on 10 "Triggers" and still win. it doesn't make any difference! The time will come, and I will enjoy watching both of them bleed!!" With that the strange human figure vanished.
Crono, however continued to stare at the bluish white glow in front of him, he could tell that this figure had long, flowing blue hair. When the figure turned around, he about passed out. standing before him was a long lost Princess....her name was Princess Schala of the Magical Kingdom of Zeal...
"you!....but how? you were destroyed along with the Lavos Mammon Machine!" Crono said looking at the girl in awe. Her beauty radiated even the darkest of dreams and turned them into a thing of beauty. she seemed somewhat diffrent than from the last time Crono had met her. her dress was a beatuful shade of purple and blue. On her head, an ornatly decorated crown rested with a single jewel dangling in the center of her forehead. and around her neck, the original necklace that activated many things in her kingdom and only one other person had one exactly like it...Marle.
Schala smiled "I wasn't killed young, Crono....after you and your friends tried to stop my mother, a portal opened sending all of us hurdling either to the past or future....I however became fused with the calamity from the sky's....Lavos."
Crono looked at Schala his mouth open in awe..."Fused?? I don't understand? if so then how were you freed? did we free you when we defeated him?"
"No....20 yrs from now...a young man by the name of Serge would free me along with several friends that he had met along the way. THAT is the only reason i am here now. that is because he had freed me....however when they faced Lavos with me infused, they faced a more stronger more powerful version....Serge seen me encased in a shield ontop of the repairing Lavos....whos name was now known as the Time Devourer...."
"Time Devourer?....I don't like the sound of that."
"At the time Serge and his friends were trying to figure out what was going on....when they were close to accomplishing thier goal, Serge had found out that he had become the new Chrono Trigger.....but, his situation was diffrent than that of yours. instead of traveling through time. he traveled to an alternate diminsion where he died as a young boy. he had to somehow set things right in both worlds and then unify them with an artifact known as the Chrono Cross."
Crono looked at Schala puzzled. "Chrono Cross?? I don't think I have ever heard of that. is there anyway you can tell me about it?"
Schala smiled. "Yes. But my time grows short. I cannot stay here much longer I have just enough power left to explain to you the function of the Chrono Cross....The melody and the harmony.....the Chrono Cross utilizes the sound of the 7 elemental attributes...Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Black, White and the 7th and almost lost Element.....the Chrono Cross....these elements let off a certain tone when used correctly. and when they are used one right after the other followed by the Chrono Cross they create a most beautiful and wonderous melody....if not for that song I would have completely succumbed to the Time Devourer's power and THAT is what destroyed the monster in Serge's time. However I feel a great disturbance in time and space....be it lavos be it the Time Devourer....one day these two entities will meet and they will join with one another creating a most hideous and vile creature that neither the past, present or future has EVER seen. the time will come Crono, when you will meet this Serge....you and him are the only keys to saving time and space along with the saving your lives here....In Serge's time you all do not exist anymore....you were slain. but in order to keep things on track and to make sure that the balance stays as is, He will help you to keep your lives....which means in 20 yrs you will all be alive in young Serge's time....."
Crono looked Schala in the eyes. he could tell that she was worried about this planet's future. but there was one question that he wanted to ask, one that he couldn't help but ask..."Isn't there a way to stop Lavos and the Time Devourer from joining? can't we travel in time to stop them?"
Schala smiled. "I'm sorry young Crono....But i will not tell you any more. I have told you more than enough already." While saying this the Princess started to fade away....she seen Crono running after her to get more answers but she stopped him. Crono fell to the ground on his knees. he then looked up at the fading Princess.
"Please at least tell me....When will I know who this Serge is? when and where will he appear!?"
Schala smiled. "You will know when the time is right. I'm sorry but...this is the last of my power....but don't worry my daughter will be with Serge. she will know who you are....farewell .....Crono." and then she disappeared....
~END CRONO'S DREAM~
It was a clear crisp morning in the Village of Truce...Crono sat up in bed and looked out the window. the words from his dream were still echoing in his head. "You will know when the time is right...."
"Everything...seemed so real....but could this dream be some sort of vision? and this Time Devourer, I don't like the sound of this. Mine and Marle's wedding is in 2 weeks perhaps I should convince her to postpone it until I know what's going on."
"CRONO!!! Marle and Lucca are here!"
"Comming!" Crono hollared back. "Great now how in the world am I supposed to explain this to Lucca and Marle....and I can't go through time and tell Magus and the others about this...the Epoch is broke down..." Sighing, Crono got up and got dressed, grabbed his sword and tied his trademark white bandana around his head, grabbed his money and headed downstairs. "This is going to be a long day he thought to himself. now all I have to do is get Lucca to try and fix the Epoch. that is if she knows how to."
When the young time travel came downstairs he seen that Lucca had the baby that she found out by a tree near her home. the little girl was now old enough to walk. Crono smiled when the little girl ran to him, he picked her up and she hugged him. "Hey "Kid" how are you today?" The little girl cooded at his question and smiled. "Hey Lucca? How come you brought her with you?"
"Oh heh. well mom and dad are both busy today. so I was wondering if your mother could keep an eye on "Kid" for me?" Lucca said turning towards Crono's mom. "But that is strickly up to you. I don't want to put you through any trouble."
Crono's mom smiled. "Sure. I can keep an eye on her. she is as sweet as a princess. You guys just have fun and continue getting ready for the wedding."
"Sure thing." Marle said winking at her future mother in law. "Crono has helped alot tee hee. if not for him I don't think we would have been able to do this." after saying that Marle looked over to see a blushing Crono. her and Lucca just giggled.
"Well I guess we had better go mom...thank you for keeping an eye on "Kid" though." "No problem son....you just have a good time."
With that all three friends waved goodbye and headed out the door.
while on the way to the Palace, Crono explained his strange dream and the vision of Lavos and Princess Schala. both Lucca and Marle were shocked about this. and neither knew what to say. all three also agreed that they would talk no more about it at this time until they reached the Castle and were able to make it to Marle's room where they could talk privately. none of them wanted anyone to know what they had done with the timestream and even if someone did overhear them they would think they were reading some kind of story. the only thing all three friends could think of is when will they find out who this Serge is.....
