A copy-write warning; the Chrono Trigger character don't belong to me, but my own characters do.

Chapter 3; A Frog, a monk, and a drunk woman.

"Arth thou alright ma'am?" A voice said. Aya moaned and opened her eyes, looking in the face of a giant frog.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. "Some way to wake up!"

"I know mine face is quite… disturbing. Excuse me for that." The frog said.

"Don't apologize for your own face, it's just… not the best face to wake up with. By the way where is this place?"

"These are the cursed woods. The year 600."

"The year 600! What a trip!"

"Thou arth from another time period? No surprise with those… revealing clothes." Aya felt her cheeks become red, remembering that she wore a cat- suit.

"I know, do you have any spare clothes for me mister…"

"Thou can call me Frog. And there are some spare clothes in that closet."

"Gee thanks Froggy. Just a minute." And she disappeared into another room. When she re-appeared she put on white leggings, a bleu vest with bronze chest-armor, brown boots with metal toes and a green cape which reached her knees.

"Much better, thanks again."

"Now may I ask were thou arth coming from?"

"I'm from Trann dome, the year 2300."

"That's a great hop in time. How did thou get here?"

"Some gigantic bugs called the Molochs threw me in something named a Time- gate."

"I see, I have used those time-gates with some companions to defeat Lavos."

"Oh I heard about that battle, it's supposed to be one of the greatest battles of all time."

"It sure was, but let us think of a way to bring you back to your own time."

"Well, where did you find me?"

"In the woods before Guardia castle."

"Right, so why aren't we gonna search there? But first, do you have some coffee?"

"No."

"Cigarettes?"

"Not either."

"Damn, how about beer?"

"No, but thou can get that by an Inn."

"Can I first go to an Inn than, I can't survive another minute without caffeine, nicotine or alcohol."

"Alright. Follow me." And they went to the nearest Inn, when they got their Aya speeded to the bar and shouted to the Innkeeper

"Give me the best beer you have, and quick!"

"Sure, how much?" The Innkeeper asked.

"Two pints, hurry!"

"Here you are ma'am." The Innkeeper gave two glasses of beer to Aya, who drank each one empty with one huge gulp. She then cheered and leaned back in a chair.

"Aah, that's better." She said, ignoring the glares of everyone near her.

"Great Frog, first you bring in that creep Magus and now this, you really have a bad taste of friends."

"For the 49th time, Magus was not a friend of mine, and second, this woman is going back to her own place really soon."

"I sure am *burp* this place stinks, no offence of course."

"How rude, but I can feel your heart is clean, of evil I mean." A voice said, when Frog and Aya looked they saw a man sitting on the edge of a table, he had a brown monk robe which completely covered his body and his face, beneath it they could see black boots.

"And who might you be?" A now drunk Aya asked.

"Greetings, my name is Brian. I'm a traveling monk." He pulled of his cloak, revealing an almost flawless face with black hair till just beneath his ears and brown, almost black piercing eyes.

"A traveling monk huh? To bad because I think you are cute." Aya said, leaning over the table towards the monk.

"But just one little kiss is allowed, isn't it?" She said with a horny look in her eyes. Brian started to feel really uncomfortable.

"Uhm, shouldn't we go to the time-gate?" Frog tried.

"Aaaaw, alright. See you around hunk." And she bent back and stood unsteadily on her feet.

"You better lay down until you can walk again." The Innkeeper suggested.

"Good idea, come on ma'am Aya." Frog guided her upstairs, when he came back Brian waved him to come over.

"So, you're the mighty hero who defeated Magus, I heard much about you Glenn." He said.

"Thou, thou knoweth my real name? How come?" Frog asked surprised.

"Let's say I can read minds, don't worry I don't read any private taughts."

"I see, why arth thou traveling?"

"I was a foundling and grew up in the cloister nearby Guardia castle, when the Mystics took over my fellow monks were destroyed by them, I was the sole-survivor. So now I travel."

"Too bad for you, but me and my friends Crono and Lucca defeated those monsters, I only didn't got the chance to destroy their leader and my worst enemy Magus."

"I know, it's very hard to destroy an ally without your other friends getting mad at you." Frog already didn't find it surprising anymore.

"Why did thou survive?" Frog asked.

"Curious he? Well I use magic." And he pointed at one of the now empty glasses, there were a couple of sparks and then the glass exploded.

"But that doesn't matter right now, I can feel an evil force heading this way, and it wants Aya and me. I don't know why."

"Evil force? Is it a strong force?" Frog asked.

"Not really, but they are with many and that could be a problem." About then the town-bell ringed.

"Monsters! Giant bugs!" Someone screamed. And Frog and Brian saw people running for their lives.

"What the f*** is going on here?!" Aya shouted, apparently still drunk.

"Nothing special, go back to bed while we deal with it." Brian said.

"Okay." And she stumbled back into the room.

"Are you ready to have a little fun?" Brian asked Frog.

"I sure have." Frog answered, pulling out the Masamune.

"Let's go then." And they went outside. The Molochs stood in front of the Inn.

"We're searching for the entity of lightning, according to our masters calculations he's in this town."

One of them said while capturing Frog and Brian.

"Where on earth are they talking about?" Frog asked.

"I don't know, they somehow blocked their minds." Brian answered.

"That's right stupid Monk, so now you tell us your name."

"Why should I do that?" Brian said insolent, only to get punched in the face.

"Because we search for a monk who uses lightning magic named Brian in this area that's why!"

"These creatures aren't the smartest in the neighborhood." Frog whispered to Brian.

"Oh they are, in hunting-skills that is."

"Can we defeat them?"

"I think so, but it's better to get out of here and find out what's going on."

"You still didn't say your name." One of the Molochs asked annoyed.

"Boss, how many monks who use lightning magic can be found in a small village like this? If we kill him it's a big chance we got the right one."

"You're right, let's kill him."

"Not today." Brian said and folded his hands together, after a few seconds sparks flew from his body and soon he exerted a huge Lightning2 spell that fried a big number of the Molochs. The others ran of.

"Eh, wow." Was the only thing Frog could say.

"Surprising he? Your friend Crono could learn a thing or two from me. Now let's get out of here."

"First let get miss Aya." And they walked to the Inn, which had collapsed under the massive power of the attack. The Innkeeper crawled from beneath the mess.

"BRIAN!!!!!!!!! What do you have to say about this?"

"Eh… oops sorry about that."

"Jesus Christ what happened here?" Aya, who obviously wasn't drunk anymore, exclaimed when she dug herself out of the rubble.

"Nothing special, let's get out of here." Brian said to her. And the three of them walked of, hearing the angry voice of the Innkeeper until they were out of the village.

"If you three dare to come back I'll have you hanged in the tallest tree of the forest!"

"Boy, is he in a bad mood, what did you guys do to piss him of like that?" Aya asked

"Nothing special, but we have to get you back to your own time." Brian answered.

"What were those filthy creatures talking about?" Frog asked.

"I don't know exactly, but I once heard about the entities of magic, there supposed to be the four strongest sorcerers of all time." Brian answered.

"Could it be that thou arth one of those entities?"

"Maybe."

"How long until Guardia forest guys? My feet are tired and I've got a huge hangover." Aya interrupted.

"Not far now, we got to get over Zenan Bridge and then it's a few miles north." Frog said to her.

"Some weird sh** is going on here. I saw those creatures in my time, and they were after those entities as well, we've got to find out more about it."

"Thou arth right, but where could we go?"

"My friend Kari once spoke of a library for this kind of stuff, maybe we should take a look over there?"

"Good idea, even if it's coming from you." Brian said.

"Say what?" Aya said angry.

"Nothing, let's continue." They walked on until they reached the edge of a huge forest.

"Is this the place Froggy?" Aya asked.

"Yes indeed, let us go in and search for the time-gate." He answered. And they entered the forest.

"Nice place. What are those creatures?" Aya asked when she pointed at some green imps and a rolly.

"Those are imps, they're easy to defeat." Brian said and he zapped one of them with a lightning spell. The imp ran of.

"See?" Frog used a Water2 and the others were washed away by something that looked like a tidal wave. Only the rolly stood there.

"Now it's my turn." Aya said, and she kicked the rolly so it flew between the trees.

"Touchdown!" (I know nothing about sport so don't complain about it.)

"You're quite strong, for someone who doesn't know anything about this world." Brian said to her.

"One more word mister, and you're going the same way as that green thing."

"Rolly." Frog corrected her.

"Whatever." They continued, after a while they reached the gate.

"Is this it?" Brian asked.

"Yes it is." Frog answered. "I only don't know how to open it."

"Huh, but you said that you traveled in time to defeat Lavos?"

"Yes but we need a Gate-key to open it, and I don't have one, Lucca has."

"And where is Lucca?"

"In the year 1000"

"Well, it could be worse."

"How can it be worse?" Aya said. "I woke up with a giant frog next to my bed (No offence) in a cat-suit, I tried kiss a monk, there's no coffee, no cigarettes, some giant bugs search for us and I can't get back to my own time, al that with a huge headache, how can it be worse?"

"Well, those bugs could've followed us." Brian said.

"Let's hide."

"How do you mean?"

"I remember a conversation like this, it is obvious that those bugs indeed followed us. It's Murphy's law."

"I see, let us hide in the trees." Frog suggested. And so they did. After a while Aya's prediction came true when the Molochs entered the small clearing.

"I don't get it, they went this way." One of them said.

"Search for them." Another one said. The bugs split up and started to search every bush, Aya was amazed how silent and agile these creatures walked trough the forest. But they didn't look up in the trees. Frog gave her a sign, he was obviously going to attack, Aya nodded back, telling him she would attack to. When two of them were under the trees they were hiding, they both jumped out of the tree, Frog cut of one of the bug's head of with the Masamune and Aya broke the other ones neck before they could scream for help.

"Nice job, where is Brian?" Frog said.

"I dunno." But they didn't have to wait long for an answer. Soon the sky turned dark bleu and a sound like an old door that opened was echoing trough the forest then there was a huge flash of light which blinded Aya and Frog, when they opened their eyes almost half of the forest was burned to the ground.

"I think I knoweth were he is." Frog said. And they went to the spot the attack seemed to come from. When they arrived there they saw who they expected; Brian. He looked all right, except for a slash on his face from the corner of his mouth to his ear.

"Are you alright?" Aya asked him.

"I'm fine, those bugs attacked me from the back."

"So you decided to torch the place."

"I got rid of all the bugs didn't I?"

"Never mind that right now, we still don't know how to get back to my time."

"O, we can, one of those bugs was so kind to leave a present." He pointed to something that lay on the charcoaled ground. It looked like some remote- control device; each button had a number: 65000000 B.C., 1200 B.C., 600 A.D., 1000 A.D. 2300 A.D.

"I knoweth those numbers." Frog said. " These are the different time periods me and my companions traveled to."

"Could this device open that gate?" Aya asked while picking up the remote control.

"I guess so."

"Let's do it! Next stop, 2300! Coffee, cigarettes and normal clothes!" And she ran towards the gate, which was easy to detect in the barren landscape. Then she pushed the button and the gate grew bigger.

"Shall we be off?" Frog asked.

"We sure will." Aya said, and she jumped into the gate.

"Now it's our turn." Frog said to Brian.

"After you."

"Alright." And Frog jumped in as well. Brian took out his rosary, said a prayer and jumped as well.

That's another chapter done, because of a deep cut on the sole of my foot I'm chained to my bed so it will take a little longer to write the next chapter, sorry about that.
