Chapter 18!! Radical Dreamers Without Taking The Title!!!
Author's Note: Thank this chapter to the Chrono Cross fic writers…I can't believe I forgot that their a Square game…well, now get ready for CC madness!!! Mwhahahhahahahaaaaaa!
"Did you hear that?" Sephiroth asked Kuja. "That evil laughing noise?"
"No I didn't." Kuja sighed. Sephiroth seemed to hear things a lot.
"Mother, are you there?!" Sephiroth yelled suddenly. "I'm here mother!! I'll join you shortly!!!"
Kuja leaned close to Red XIII. "Is he alright?" Kuja asked.
"I don't know…" Red said. "It is possible that the confines of this hanger have driven him closer to the brink of madness or it is entirely possible that the annoying writer just laughs to loud."
"I see…" Kuja said, now thinking Red was also insane.
The group was sitting on the floor, eating whatever weird food the guards gave them. FF9, FF7 and Chrono Trigger dined together. Eiko seemed to get along with Yuffie pretty good but seemed to bug the hell out of Crono.
"Hello?" Eiko said, leaning close to his face. "Can you hear me? If you can, say yes!" Crono sat there, eating, not speaking.
"HEY!" Eiko yelled in his face. "Stop eating and speak! Speak, form words, string them into sentences!!" Crono glared at her and kept silent.
"Hey!" Kuja said suddenly. "I remember Crono. He was in prison with us!" Kuja turned to Crono. "What were you in for?" He asked.
"I don't know." Marle said. "Kidnapping me or something stupid like that. My dad is so stupid!"
"So's my dad." Kuja said. "I hate him."
"Kuja, you don't have a dad!" Eiko said frowning.
"If you count Garland I do." Kuja grinned. The group sat in basic silence, with Eiko still shouting in Crono's face for him to speak.
"FINE!!!!" Crono shouted suddenly. "You are so annoying! There, I spoke, are you happy?! Now leave me alone for Zeal's sake!" Eiko blinked and turned back to her food.
"There, was it that hard?" Eiko asked Crono.
"…" Crono smiled. Eiko groaned.
"That's Crono for you!" Marle laughed.
"He's worse then Kuja…" Eiko muttered.
"Hey!" Kuja frowned. "Crono's right, you are annoying!"
"Hey Mate, see anything?" Kid asked.
"I don't know…" Serge sighed. "I can't tell which hanger their in…"
"My aren't you smart Chrono Trigger?" Lynx in Serge's body laughed. Serge glared at him.
"Listen Lynx." Kid said. "If it wasn't for those arses at Square, I'd kill you now. But no, I have to wait til we get back. So shut up and stay outta me way!"
The rest of the Chrono Cross gang was there, all 40 something of them. It looked like a small army. Kid hopped back down the cliff to the waiting crew.
"Well, did you pinpoint their location?" Glenn asked impatiently.
"Hold yer horses!" Kid sighed. "Wait til Serge gets down here." Serge hopped down the cliff (he's in his body) with Lynx right behind him.
"Ok. We think they're in hanger 9. There seems to be a large amount of guards there…" Serge said. "So do we have any long range fighters?"
"Hey, Chrono Trigger." Lynx grinned. "Remember Elements? And Tech Skills? My how stupid you are…"
"Lynx, we don't what to endanger anyone in that hanger." Serge rolled his eyes. "Besides, I was talking about people with larger weapons, like swords. Frying pans are to close up." Lynx shrugged. "Ok, is everyone ready then?" Serge asked. Some nodded, other answered yeah. Either way, it was time to break free of Square.
"Is everyone ready?" Yuffie asked. Her group nodded. "Fine…remember, on Locke's signal, run for the back door like…like…someone on fire."
"Ok, then Kid, me, Glenn, Lynx and some more of you will go in through the back door." Serge outlined his plan. "Karsh, you lead another team round the front…"
"Ok!" Locke said enthusiastically. "My group will go through the front! Is everybody ready?"
"This is our plan then." Citan said. "Our group will wait for the others to break free, then go through whatever door is clear." Citan looked his group over. "Ready then?"
"Alright…" Serge had snuck his group round to the back. "On my signal, blast through the door…ready…and…"
Locke motioned for the groups to take their places. The groups moved to the doors…
"Now!" Serge yelled
"Go!" Locke yelled.
Yuffie's group ran for the door, blasting it with fire magic. Serge's group blasted it with any magic. The door melted just as the groups went to run in. They collided headfirst into each other.
"Watch it!" Yuffie yelled.
"You watch it!" Lynx cried.
"Stop, c'mon, this makes it easier, let's go!" Serge yelled over the voices. Kuja helped Freya up and the group ran. Locke was having similar problems at the front, while Citan's group watched with slight amusement.
The groups ran for the mountains. Kid kept looking at Lucca.
"Sis!" She cried as she ran. "Sis, you're alive!"
"Oh dammit…" Lynx muttered.
"Huh?" Lucca stared at Kid. "Who are you?"
"It's me, Kid!" Kid blinked. "Don't ya remember me Sis?"
"HEY! For the purpose of hurrying this along," Sage Kaley yelled from her computer. "That's the Lucca before Lynx and before everything!"
"Oh…" Kid said. "Never mind then…"
"Mother?!" Sephiroth yelled. "I'm coming!"
Later, Serge led the group to their mountain base. There they rested for the night and did a great deal of talking.
"Ayla like this food!" Ayla grinned. "Good food. Eat lots."
"Leah like-um food too!" Leah smiled at Ayla. "Make-um tummy stop talk-um!"
"So, what did Tifa take from you guys?" Kuja asked Serge.
"You mean the woman with the huge bird?" Serge asked. Kuja nodded. "She took the Time Egg. Without it, we can't go face the Time Devourer." Kuja turned to Crono.
"So, what did she take from you?" Kuja asked Crono.
"…Marle's pendent. We need it for the Mammon Machine." Crono said.
"Well, are we safe here?" Eiko asked. "I don't want to go back to that creepy place."
"Yeah, we'll be ok here for now." Serge smiled. "Don't worry."
"Hey, Eiko." Kuja grinned. "Crono likes me better then you cause he talked to me!"
"Shut up Kuja!" Eiko yelled. Vivi smiled and set Kuja on fire.
"AHHHHH! DAMMIT!!!" Kuja yelled. Lynx cast iceberg on Kuja, hailing huge boulders of ice on him. The fire was gone but Lynx then cast Iceblast, freezing Kuja in ice.
"Oops." Lynx laughed. "My mistake!" Serge rolled his eyes and cast fireball, melting the ice and freeing Kuja. Kuja sat on the ground shivering.
"Why does the world hate me?!" Kuja muttered. Lynx continued laughing and Eiko nodded at Vivi, who then cast Fire on Lynx. It was awhile before anyone got some sleep.
Author's Note: What, no cliffhanger? Has the world gone mad?!….no, I'm just very happy right now!
