Chapter 9: The Entity

*Nova Strike was somewhat inspiration for the Murasame (from Ice Rain, if you don't know what I mean, go read.) but Mura and Same have a different roll and I needed another set of twins, but that would mean there are two Masa's and my head will start to hurt as I write. Thanks for the great reviews, and Kit Thespian, I can't promise anything, a good author is like a good magician, they don't give away their secrets. I usually save my sad stuff for DBZ, but, I might sneak one over to CT. You'll just have to read to find out.*

With Cyrus' help, Lucca found the home of Slash. They were nowhere in sight. Lucca was frustrated, but then she found a small piece of paper stuck in one of Slash's practice dummies.

Lucca

I knew you'd follow me. I was hoping you would. Anyway, this one's going to be a little harder to do, we don't want you catching up. Here's the clue. At a time of snow and ice, in the Islands of Dragons, we journey to the sea of the dead to come upon the resting place of a mighty sword. That's enough. I'm sorry Lucca, but if you're there, you'll try to stop me and I have to do this. I love you.

Magus

Lucca was positively befuddled. She had no idea about "Islands of Dragons" or a "sea of the dead". She gave the note to Cyrus, trying to see if he knew what to do.

"Hmmm. A ha! El Nido. There were once 7 dragons that lived in that island chain. I've heard many legends about it. Sea of the Dead, I that has to be the Dead Sea." Cyrus read the last part of the note. "Do you love him?"

Lucca was surprised by the question, but she nodded. Cyrus looked down at the paper.

"Then I am happy for you, but if my own intuition is correct, he plans to leave this world. If we do not hurry, he will." Cyrus said as they jumped into the epoch. Lucca followed and set the controls for circa 12,000 B.C.

"Magus! It's cold in here!!!" Slash shouted.

"Shut up! We're almost there." The cave was long and deep. The three had some trouble finding a boat, for the dead sea has it's name for a reason. The journey was a long one. One that found Slash, Frog and Magus a lot of time to ponder some things.

"Why art thou going to end thy life? What dost thou hope to accomplish?" Frog asked. Magus looked at him coldly for a moment.

"Hmph. The last time I was here, I was told a tale of a young boy, a young girl, and a cat-man. They fought through different dimensions. In the end, the cat-man was FATE, a mechanical goddess created by humans far in the future. After FATE's demise, another deity, the Dragon God, appeared to wreak havoc. At the dragon's death, the boy learned of the Dragon God's true identity. You see, despite his seemingly animal nature, Lavos was a beast filled with hatred, especially after we killed it. It clung to life and fused with my sister to become the Time Devourer. The boy used a magic called the Chrono Cross to free Schala and destroy Lavos forever. I was also told that I was also on this journey, disguised as a masked magician. When Schala was freed, the coldness of Lavos clung to her and kept her enclosed in a block of ice, un able to be melted by even the temperatures of the sun. Only the power of a human spirit is given can the ice be melted. I have created a spell to do just that. It will harness my spirit into a flame, which I will use to save Schala. Once the fire stops burning, my spirit will have faded." as he said that, he produced a blue flame. It was quite large. He took off his glove and touched it. "It's only lukewarm, but it's going to do the job."

"Magus, who told you this tale?" Slash asked.

"At first I wasn't sure, but I realize now that it must have been Mura and Same. There were two different voices, and they seemed to be of the same origins and Masa and Mune." Suddenly, the twins erupted out of the Masamune.

"Mura and Same! YAY!!!!! We're going to see our cousins! We're going to see our cousins!" The twins danced about the boat. Magus looked at them awkwardly. Slash's eyes almost popped out of his head. Frog just glanced at them. "Hey! Magus! Did they mention us at all?"

"As a matter of fact, they did. They said they were ashamed that their own kin could be so easily turned away from the side of light." he shot at them. Masa and Mune looked a little confused. "They said you become a sword of Evil, which gets two great warriors killed."

"Oh. We're sorry." Mune said.

"Wait a minute, we haven't done anything yet! Don't apologize until we've done something, that way, no one will know it occurred ever if we don't do it..oh no getting dizzy. What did I just say, Mune?"

"Beats me, but we aren't going to be an evil sword, are we Masa?"

"Nope. We're gonna be with Frog and all his kid....well, we may have to find a new master after Frog...."

"GET BACK IN THE SWORD!!!!" Frog shouted at the twins.

Soon they arrived at the Dead Sea. The group stared at the opening in the rock. Frog and Slash looked at Magus. He nodded and jumped in the water. They followed suit and the three headed toward the cave of the Murasame.

*I hate omnicient POVs(they know too much), but I did one and I'm gonna do a few more for this story. I'm gonna have another LuMa but it's gonna be different. To give you a hint of the plot, the title is going to be "The Prophet's Apprentice" and I hope you'll read and review that one like you have this one. I'm sorry again that this chapter is short, but the next one will make up for it. There's gonna be some crying and sadness in it, but there's gonna be some happy stuff too. Frog's gonna be Glenn again!!!! You'll see how in the next chapter. Oh no, I've given too much away!!!! PEACE!!!
