1 Chrono Cross: Angelus Errare

Disclaimer: (………………) Chrono Cross is not mine and it is rightfully Squaresoft. There, I said. On with the story.





"Here we are! Back in Termina, people," said Korcha as he stirred near the port.



Finally, everyone has landed at the port of Termina, somehow each and every person feeling happy to be back after so many days.



Glenn sighed happily and leaped for joy. "Finally, we're back in Termina after so many months. I cannot wait to see everyone again. "



"It only has been a week, Glenn," said Kidd, sweating dropping.



"Opps, I forgot," he said, scratching his head. "But it seems like twelve months to me in Guldove. (…….) Err…..where is the restroom…..?"



"Men," sighed Kidd as she slapped her forehead.

1.1.1.1.1 Chapter 7: Omendi…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*



Orlha and Leena gave a big stretch and yawned, happy as well to be back on the Mainland. "Man, how long has it been since I last visit this place? It still looks the same as usual expect a lot more crowded and bigger," said Orlha.



"I'm just glad I'm back. Otherwise, my mom will be really mad at me for going with you guys without telling her. I was only here to get milk," said Leena, scratching her head.



"What?! You forgot to tell your mom?! Yeesh, what kind of girl are you!?" said Orlha, waving her hands up and down crazily. Glenn gave a hardy chuckle to the two ladies little argument.



"Sorry…"



"What do you have to be sorry about…? Its your own fault!"



"But at least I got the milk…"



"That's not the point!"



Serge slowly stepped onto the concrete pier, his eyes looking into the buildings of Termina. Something stirred inside his feelings as he looked into the place, making him on guard. He cautiously walked over to his friends, everyone looking at him in wonder.



"Serge, is there anything wrong?" asked Leena. He did not reply her question. He was too caught up with his premonition. He narrowed his eyes, seemingly as if he is ready for battle.



"Use your instincts Serge. If a sudden feeling of awareness comes, be on your guard. You will never know what will come or what will happen."





"Mate?" Kidd said, slowly tapping his shoulder. He slowly tensed down and smiled.



"Sorry, I guess I was spacing out. So, what are we going to do from here on in?" Serge asked. Everyone just looked at each other, surprised that Serge's reaction somehow changed from awareness back to his normal self.



"Well, I my guess is we can go to my place for a bit tomorrow. You guys seem so tired after weeks in Guldove. Let us hang around here for one day, stay in the Termina Inn, and head over to Viper Manor the next day and have a big party as a one year reunion," said Glenn, shaking the eerie thought out of his mind.



Everyone nodded in agreement. "While you guys look around, me and Orlha will go and talk to Lisa. Maybe we can catch up on what is going on," said Leena.



"Gossip," said Serge and Glenn in unison.



"And maybe, you can get a carton of milk while your at it! And probably we would see a picture of you in it saying, 'Missing: a idiot red hair girl named Leena of the age 16 who only got a carton of milk that took one week to get. Reward: 1 gil', " teased Orlha.



"Be quiet…!"



"See you guys there!" said Orlha, running off with Leena toward the other side of the city. Serge, Kidd, Glenn, and Korcha were the only ones left on the port.





"Well, I guess we have to take out all the stuff that Guldove gave us," said Glenn, pointing at the load of boxes on the boat full of food, elements, and items inside. "I cannot understand why they gave all this as a farewell gift. It is as if we are being sacrificed or something."





"Guldove people these days. Probably they think we are going to Marbule or somethin'. Ah well, you three should go ahead. I'll check us in the Termina hotel. Two rooms, eh?" said Kidd as she started to walk off to the hotel.



Both of them sighed, quite annoyed that all guys have to do all the work and the ladies can sit around and watch.



"Huh…?" Serge suddenly was on his guard again.



"I guess you and me is unloading these stuff, right Serge?" asked Glenn as he started stretching and lifting his sleeve. There was no answer once again from Serge as he once more felt this strong recurring premonition. "Serge…?"





1.1.1.1.2 "If the feeling is that strong, then you must take action…"

1.1.1.1.3

1.1.1.1.4



Serge suddenly felt this sudden urge of an omen as he watched Kidd edge closer to the stairs. "Somehow, I got a bad feeling about this," he said suddenly.





"A bad feeling? What do you mean, Serge?" ask Glenn, patting his shoulder for comfort.





Serge suddenly gasped as sudden images of Kidd being hurt through some unspeakable power turned him on his awareness level. That very feeling was strong against his stomach and Serge knew what he must do. He ran as fast as he can toward her, surprising Glenn from his speed.

~~~~~~~`



Kidd slowly walked along the stairs, unaware of something blocking her way. Serge's steps started to pace up quickly, his premonition becoming stronger through his veins.





"Why does the pier have to be so long?" he said, his pace increasing every step. Kidd inched closer to the other side of the city when a creature, appearing out of nowhere, blocked her way.





"Damn it, somehow I can sense it again. It's going to attack soon. Why did I leave her alone? Baka!" said Serge, nearing Kidd's form. "Kidd, don't go there."



Kidd felt that presence and looked to see a half lion, half man beast blocking her way. The beast man looked down at her, his red eyes showing intense hunger for blood. He raised his weapon, making Kidd gasp in surprise.



"KIDD! WATCH OUT!?" screamed Serge from behind, making Kidd turn around.



"Serge!" she called, not watching her guard of the lion beast. He started to swing his weapon towards Kidd.





"Oh no you don't!" yelled Serge. With the remains of his energy, he ran as fast as his feet can carry.



Right then, Serge grabbed Kidd and dodged the monsters attack. Serge held her tightly as he continued to run with her in his arms, feeling the monster's presence coming closer to him. "What kind of creature is that?" mumbled Serge as he continued to run.



"Serge…but…how…?" asked Kidd, quite surprise by Serge's movement.



"A bad feeling I had. Somehow, I saw you hurt from this power, which probably is our little unknown friend over there. It's a good thing I made it there in time. If I didn't notice in time, you would have been hurt badly. Just hang on to me, okay?" Kidd began to blush rapidly from his sudden words, but did so as she nuzzled her head against his chest, hearing his panting heartbeat.



Glenn finally caught up with Serge and Kidd, completely out of breath from the run. "Serge, what is going? Why did you take off so fast like that? I cannot even catch up to you because of your speed. And you are not even out of breath after the amount of energy you put in your run." Korcha came along behind, growling furiously at the site of Serge holding Kidd in his arms protectively.



"Don't Cha think about holdin' me wife-to-be like that," retorted Korcha, unaware of the danger coming in.



"Korcha, shut yer trap! We're in a crisis right now and we don't have time to deal with yer stubbornness!" bellowed Kidd, being set gently down to the ground by Serge. He stood protectively in front. Glenn joined Serge and looked forward.



"Well?"



"We're just playing tag with a new friend," said Serge sarcastically. "And he's the one who is it." He started to smirk sinisterly. Glenn got the idea and smiled the same way; both knew what is in each other's mind.



"I guess we are the ones who should be it now. The monster played long enough to be the it," said Glenn, both nodding their heads in agreement. They stood poised, Kidd right behind them as Serge and Glenn took out their mystical and legendary weapons.



Coming about a few centimeters away, the half beast man came near, growling in satisfaction. At the site of Serge and Glenn's defenseless figures, it smiled, showing its sharp white teeth ready to taste human blood. Unfortunately, the beast was completely unaware of the plot that Serge and Glenn has in plan.

~~~~~~~~~`



Something above loomed over the top buildings, watching in anticipation of the battle below. He smiled vigorously. He liked what he saw down there.



"Hehehe, let's see what those famous two friends can do."

~~~`



Serge grabbed hold of his Masamune, ready to attack. "When it gets close, I'll attack from behind and you attack in front. That way it will have a disadvantage. You know what I mean right?"



"Yes, but there is one question I want to ask you. What kind of creature is this?" asked Glenn, poised as well.



Serge tilted his head, realizing the point. "Come to think of it. You're right. What kind of beast is this? That fiend is not like other beasts we fought before. We better get ready bud. We're in for a long one I suppose."



"If you can sense a weak spot, take the opportunity to attack its disadvantage. Don't try and taunt him by attacking slowly. Its power might be unspeakably strong."



'I know father. But I just don't know how and when will I feel it,' thought Serge, talking to his belated parent.



"You will son, you will. For you have great power and instincts within you. And I know someday that your hidden 'talent' shall finally awaken from its long dormant..."



"Wait a second…what talent?"



"Serge, that's our cue!" said Glenn, pointing to the beast men about ready to attack. The two kneeled, ready to take their first move.



The monster finally came and the two stride forward. Serge ran around the back while Glenn started taunting. "Hey, lion breath, over here!" Glenn yelled, swinging his hands up and down. The monsters full attention went to Glenn, giving Serge the opportunity to attack. Plunging his swallow around his back, he swung full force with his double blades, attacking double time with a double-edged spin attack. The beast turned to Serge and growled. Right there, the beast was hit unnoticed by one of Serge's elemental magic, PhotonBeam. It still held its ground and now it is aiming at Serge.



This time around, Glenn now has the occasion to attack. Unsheathing his two Einlanzers, he held them like a cross as the sun's light reflected the two blades. He smiled, finally being able to get some action after so many months of neglect. Going to his fighting stance, Glenn attacked.



This whole procedure continued to go on until Serge and Glenn looked at each other. They both smiled and with one full force, they together used their Tech. Skills, DashandSlash and DashandGash, combining their powers to create their double tech., "X-Strike." Both held still in their positions as they landed, Glenn panting and Serge looking at the beast's injured body.



Kidd and Korcha watched as well, looking at how much work Serge and Glenn fought against the unknown friend of theirs. "Is it…dead?" asked Korcha, cowering towards a crate, just in case if the monster is not dead. Kidd ran over to the two guys, wondering what is going on.



"You guys, what's goin' on?" asked Kidd. "Why isn't that monster going to the underworld? Is it dead?"



"I'm…not really…sure," panted Glenn as he turned around, his Einlanzers still in his hand. He looked over to Serge who was now closing his eyes, the Masamune tightly griped with his hand.



"Serge…?" asked Kidd, clutching her heart with her right hand. Serge did not respond as he concentrated with his own thoughts.



"Do not be fooled by the monster's actions. They might trick you in some ways like playing dead…Feel your instincts and you might know the whole truth."





Serge clenched his Masamune tighter, opening his eyes suddenly and narrowing them angrily. He shook violently. "Chikushou! It's not enough! Its not dead!" retorted Serge as he stood posed.



"What do you mean?" said Glenn also in his stance again. Serge pointed at the beast as it moved slowly, standing on all twos as it faced its two rivals. It growled furiously at the two, now counting three. "Like what you said, Chikusomething! He is alive!"



Kidd turned to Serge, completely oblivious about Serge's accurate predictions. "H-how do you know?"



Serge slowly turned his head, his eyes showing a confused look. "I-I don't know…it…just…came to me like it was a dream all of a sudden."



"Serge…"



"Whatever happens, I'll protect you Kidd," he said, even more determined in his voice.



"Why does this sound so familiar?" thought Kidd as she looked on.



The monster inched closer to the three, growling in victory as if no one can defeat him. Serge and Glenn stride back, no plan in their minds coming up. Kidd backed as well, her eyes widen in horror. "What are we going to do? How can we defeat this bloke?" said Kidd.





"I do not know, but we are in trouble that is for sure." Serge's eyes narrowed, feeling complete stupidity surging through his whole body. He couldn't believe the disadvantage they are in right now, feeling that they will bow before the creature's feet.



"What the hell am I suppose to do? I can't figure out what is this…creature's weakness is. Shou! Out of all these things, why does this have to come?" thought Serge angrily.



"Hehehehe, run out of ideas Chrono Trigger? Maybe 'he' was wrong about you being strong as you are right now."



Serge, Kidd, and Glenn gasped at the sudden voice from above. "What the…!"



"How pathetic! You can't even figure out my Komainu's disadvantage against you. Now I mine as well kill you all to save my time," said the voice.



"A Komainu!" said Serge thoughtfully. "So that's what it is."



"Ku-mon-u? What is that?" asked Kidd, pronouncing the name wrong.



"No, Ko-m-ai-nu. I know what that name means. It is a guardian lion- dog. No wonder it looks half dog and half lion mixed in with human."



The evil voice laughed once again. "I see you know your clan's native language. Yet, you still can't figure out the weakness against my Komainu, Chrono Trigger. Not even I know the weakness of this monster since Master Lynx created it a short while ago."



Serge narrowed his eyes even more after the mention of that cursed name. "Lynx!"



"Lynx! That bastard! He's still alive after all these months! Tell me who are ya and what do you want from us?!" yelled Kidd, grabbing her dagger from her little scabbard. "Anyone who works for the bastard is a complete fool!" The voice just kept on laughing, thinking it was amusing to see a woman talking gibberish.



Serge clenched his swallow, glaring at the Komainu sharply. He studied the creature's physique carefully, seeing how bulky it was and how much armor it put on it self for protection. "Komainu, right? I know I heard that word before from dad. About a half lion, half dog Demi-Human that rarely exists in this world. Their power and defense is completely strong and no sword can slaughter the creature. What is his weakness?" thought Serge, looking every aspect of its body.



So far, Serge noted to himself about Komainu's physique: "Let's see, so far it is immune to white element magic…has a power and defense that is… unknown…his physique seems too bulky…and…"



"Bugger! Can't you get it through you head that Lynx's ambition is just a mere dream for power?" retorted Kidd.



"Enough with your jibber gabber, girl!" yelled the voice, suddenly angered by Kidd's talking. "Lynx is my master. His ambition is not a mere dream, girl. You'll pay for insulting his ambition! "



Kidd was taken back these harsh words, angered by his sudden outburst of the taste of blood. "Why you…!"



"Komainu, kill her first!" ordered the voice roughly. "Kill her now!"



Serge was finally snapped into reality as he felt the rising aura within the beast. The monster's gaze turned from Serge to Kidd as it started to run. "Kidd! Watch out!" cried Serge as he dashed over to her. The monster soon released his spear, aiming it right into Kidd's heart.



"Damn it!" cursed Serge as he ran as quick as the speed of the spear.



Kidd was unaware of the movements of the attack as she kept on looking around for that voice. Right out of nowhere, Serge suddenly pushed her gently on the ground with him on top, just in time to evade the attack.



Kidd could here Serge's panting chest as he slowly sat up. "Kidd, daijobu?" he asked, helping her up.



"Y-yeah, err…whatever you said," she said, accepting his help.



"Stay behind me. It looks like this monster is now following orders to kill you instead of me for now," he commanded as Serge went into his fighting stance. The monster growled, completely raged by its miscalculations. Using its magic, the Komainu called upon another weapon, but instead, a long rigged sword appeared, gently letting its grasp be touched by the Komainu. "Looks like he wants to be serious now."



"Yeah, yeah, my Komainu has been serious with you guys all this time. Not any other warriors we fought ever come this far," said the voice bluntly.



Serge didn't flinch a bit as he still held his stance. Kidd stood behind him, wondering how many people had died within the hands of this creature.



"It looks like he wants to fight you alone, Chrono Trigger," said the voice once again. "I do believe that he does not want to kill any woman blood at this time." Kidd's face grew pale. "Would accept his offer, Chrono Trigger? You and him, one on one, winner takes all. What do you say?"



Glenn and Kidd stared and waited for Serge's response. He still held his stance, but he moved forward. "I won't let the Komainu kill anymore innocent people. A Komainu is not suppose to kill, but to protect people. This Komainu cannot be the same creature that protects all. After all, the maker is Lynx, right?" Serge smirked as he realized a thought. 'And if it is created by Lynx, then the weakness should be…"



"Enough talk! Komainu fight!" commanded the voice.



Swinging the rigged around him, the Komainu started the attack using the sharp blade of his sword. Serge dodged in time as he ran around the beast. "If you can't fight it, run for your life," he said as he dodged another of Komainu's attacks without even looking. Swinging back and forth, Serge kept on dodging while the Komainu kept on swinging for five minutes. Watching with worried eyes on the sideline, Kidd and Glenn watched as Serge kept on dodging around in circles.



"What the heck is he doing? Should he not attack right now? It has been five minutes all ready since the fight began," said Glenn.





Kidd kept on looking, seeing how much effort Serge is trying to move from the Komainu's attacks. Not long did she notice how the Komainu's attacks become weaker by the minute. "Is it just me or that bloke is startin' to get tired?" asked Kidd questionably. Glenn looked and saw it as well, but to no avail.



"Chickening out as I suspect it. This is not the legendary Chrono Trigger that I heard about from Lynx. This boy is just a mere joke. Running and dodging away from your enemy, what kind of bullshit is this?" said the voice with disgust.



Finally, Serge stopped his movements, seeing that the monster is beginning to wear down. He smirked as he held his stance once again. "I knew it. This monster is too bulky to run fast. Lynx's creations are only focused on build and power and not accuracy and agility," said Serge. "Heh, now it's my move."



With one hard push from his left, he charged forward, his fighting aura rising again. The monster read Serge's movement, but he did not have enough energy to swing or dodge Serge's swift movement. Sticking out his Masamune in front of him, Serge hurled his arm back and swung with great accuracy, finally knocking out the monster with his double-edged weapon.



The monster growled in defeat as he fell to the ground below, his body disintegrating into the bottom of the underworld.



The commander of the belated Komainu seemed surprised to see that Serge's tactics have actually worked. Serge slowly stood up, putting one blade down to the cement ground. He panted faintly as Kidd and Glenn went towards him. "Serge, you were great! How did you figure out the monster's disadvantage?"



Serge's breath was suddenly held sharply. He looked at Kidd, and then to Glenn, his gaze seems to be in wonder. "I…I don't know. It just…came to me like that. I'm not really sure what is going on with me. It feels like my body and mind actually knew…what to do."



Kidd gently patted his shoulder. "But at least yer all right, that's the most important thing. I can't believe that you actually fought after you've just recovered. I never seen you this strong before in all my days with you."



Serge smiled and looked around him. His eyes seemed determined as he averted his eyes to each row. "Serge, what is it?" asked Glenn.



"Looking for that voice, Lynx's minion I think. I want to ask him a question," said Serge. His eyes lighten as a gut prediction strongly came to him. He slowly pulled his swallow from the ground and walked cautiously to where he pinpointed the evil aura. Glenn and Kidd, as always, followed close behind.



Right above a large building near the rice house, Serge stopped in his tracks and looked up. Kidd and Glenn mimicked his move and stared with him, seeing nothing there. The two gave a questioning look at Serge as he still kept his eyes up on the top.



"Looks like I beat your monster, Evil One. Come out and reveal yourself. There is no use in making excuses of where you are," he bluntly pointed, clenching his swallow quite forcefully. Glenn did the same with his Einlanzer, mimicking the move that Serge is doing at the moment.



The voice did not reply, probably too flabbergasted by Serge's quick actions. Serge's predictions, of course were completely accurate. Hiding behind a pillar, he looked straight into Serge's eyes. He smiled as he saw the troublesome thoughts and feelings running through Serge's mind. The evil one began to laugh as he finally revealed himself.



Serge's eyes began to flick as he finally seen the voice that haunted his dreams and the voice that almost cost Kidd's life. The evil's face was hidden behind a dark purple clock as he revealed himself, his long and sharp katana sabers around his back. He smiled an evil smirk and jumped down in front of Serge.



Right then, his height was unbelievable the same height as Serge, including his physique, even though it cannot be seen. "Heh, now I can fully see why Lynx has the trouble of fighting you. You are what you are."



"Who are you and what do you want from us?" asked Serge, his swallow ready for any action that will occur. Serge looked at every foot of this evil man that suddenly attacked Kidd, him, and Glenn. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the man, completely in rage of his crude introduction. Under his cloak, a purplish colored blade knife hung around the evil man's waist. Something right then struck Serge's mind, narrowing his eyes even more.



"What is it Serge? Does this guy give you the creeps too?" said Kidd.



Serge began to tremble in rage, seeing that everything that he thought of fits the puzzle. The purple clock, the knife, the way he is hiding his face. All these descriptions lead to one thing. "You're the person who started it all. You're the person who caused me to become ill and almost merge through the brink of death because of you. You are that very evil that Belthasar is talking about!"



"What?!" said Glenn and Kidd in unison.



"The second-in-command of Lynx's clan. The person's name is Omendi," said Serge, ready in his stance.



"Omendi? But I never…heard of him…" said Kidd thoughtfully. "But somethin' 'bout that ring sounds familiar."



"Bingo, Chrono Trigger. I cannot believe that you actually know my name without knowing that I exist."



"Omendi, right? His name truly fits his description of course," said Glenn, as he too was ready in his stance. "I will not forgive you for what you have done to Serge."



Sarcastically, Omendi took out the knife around his waist. "Oh you mean this?" The knife was still crimsoned with Serge's blood. "Heh, Lynx's invention really helped to start the poison organisms to start again, heh hehe heh. All I can say is I finally get to see blood." He began to lick Serge's scraped blood from the dagger, tasting its bitter sweetness.



"Disgusting," gagged Kidd as she turned her face away. She never wanted to see a person actually licking another one's blood, especially Serge's own blood.



"Quite disturbing to the little blabber mouth thief over there," Omendi said, putting the knife back around his waist.



"What did ya say!?" yelled Kidd. "That's it! I have enough with this guy! I'll show him whose boss!" She was about to lunge at Omendi when Serge confined her.



"Kidd, don't. If you do, your dead," he whispered into her ear. Kidd gave a questioning look at Serge as she slowly tensed down. "Who knows how strong he is. I can feel it in my bones that he is strong. And I can tell that he wants to fill his belly with more of my blood just by fighting me."



"But…Serge…"





"Listen, I don't know what he wants from us. But I'm gonna find out sooner or later. Just try to refrain yourself from fighting him. I-I don't want to see you hurt." Kidd was going to refuse, but his eyes showed how much he wants her to back off. His blue eyes pleaded to refrain. Kidd gently smiled.



"All right mate. I'll refrain myself, just for you. I can see that yer worried about me like you always were. Whatever happens, just ask me for help."



He smiled. "Thanks, Kidd." His expression changed as he looked at Omendi. "What do you want from us?"



Omendi smirked again, his eyes glowing the color of blood. "What I want is to kill you and get that legendary relic, the 'Chrono Cross'!"



"What!?" retorted Serge in surprise. Right then, Omendi drew his two katana sabers out and charged at Serge with incredible speed.



"Shou…Kidd stay behind me!" yelled Serge as he too dashed off with his swallow close behind him. Both were accelerating with incredible speed, finally clashing within range. Agape by their same rank in speed, Glenn almost dropped his jaw down.



"What are you talking about, Omendi!? I don't have the Chrono Cross with me!" yelled Serge as he forced his Masamune to break the clash between him and Serge.



"Oh yes you do, Serge! I can feel it inside you lurking through your consciousness. Your eyes tell me where they are and I can feel the sudden aura that luminates from it. And it's becoming stronger in you Serge. Its inside you!" Omendi was the first to strike the clash out and he started to swing his swords at Serge multiple times.



Serge blocked every speed of his attack quickly with his swallow, using each blade as a shield. Omendi started to laugh sinisterly as he increased the power within his strokes. With ongoing movement, Serge could feel that he is losing his grip on his Masamune. Once another of Omendi's attacks went through Serge's blades, he started to attack with the other, making Omendi fall back.



Serge backed off for a moment, planning his next move. Omendi recuperated and lunged again, raising one katana saber above. He swung, but Serge blocked and lunged forward. This time, Serge grabbed a hit, making Omendi kneel on the ground with his knees. Serge turned around and fell ready in stance again. Omendi got back up and turned around, his cloak still covering his blood stained eyes.



Serge strides forward and attack Omendi, giving in several hits. Omendi's attacks somehow decreased during the battle as he blocked every attack Serge did. He started to get angry and suddenly snapped his fingers.



Serge sensed multiple powers coming and stepped back. Right above the sky, ten Komainu surrounded him, making it harder for him to attack Omendi. Omendi smiled sinisterly as he finally gets a time to rest. "Let's see if you can defeat this Komainus that I have in store for you, Chrono Trigger. Let's see if you can still withstand this battle at the condition you are at right now…"



"T-this looks so familiar…" said Kidd as she slowly backed. "I…I know…."



"Kidd, what are you talking about?" asked Glenn.



"I…know what's going to happen. This exactly shows my dream. C-could it be…a prophecy?"



"While you're at it, maybe I should go and kill your girl, Chrono Trigger. I can't stand it when I don't see blood." Serge tensed up even more as mentioned Kidd.



"Don't go near her!" yelled Serge as he tries to find a way out of the circle. But, to no avail, there is not a single way out. He cursed dreadfully and clenched his swallow even more.



Omendi started walking slowly to Serge's friends, smiling sinisterly as he neared. Kidd began to back slowly, her fear becoming more and more in her.



Serge could feel it and he started to shake in rage. Right then, Kidd could sense someone's aura rising up. Kidd looked over at Serge, his eyes shadowed behind his bangs as he clenched his teeth tightly through anger. The strange rising of aura came from him and it started to increase. The more Omendi took a step closer to Kidd, the more his aura level keeps increasing. It glowed very bright white as something light blue glowed within his eyes. Kidd could see it and she was taken back by the sudden change in Serge.



Finally, with one full force with his swallow, Serge managed to kill all Komainus with one swing. He stood there as all Komainus fell like dominos, his angry glowing gaze turned to a surprised Omendi. Serge glowed even more of a white as he started dash as fast as the flight of dragon, holding his swallow in front of him.



Omendi turned around and did the same, only crossing his two katana sabers in front of him. Glenn and Kidd watched in horror as the two opposing people finally met in the middle with incredible speed, creating a white light to shimmer through the area. Serge landed a few centimeters away from Kidd, holding his swallow high above him as his eyes was covered with his bangs. Following behind, Omendi did the same with his katana sabers. He turned around, somehow limping.



"You…are…strong…as I except…it," he stuttered, grasping his left arm that was bleeding uncontrollably. Serge panted faintly as sweat started to the ground. "But…you…will…never save this world with the rank you are. I'll…be back…Chrono Trigger!"



With that said, Omendi phased off, leaving the three, including the cowering Korcha, on the port, glaring at him angrily. "Man, that guy is strong. Almost as if he is the same rank as Serge," said Glenn, scratching his head. "However, he is plain evil. He does not have a clue of what has Lynx is in store for him."



Serge's panting started to become visible as he knelt down on one knee, holding onto his swallow for balance.



"Serge!" called Kidd as he came to his aid. "Are you all right mate? Don't tell me your…"



"Don't worry…Kidd. I don't…have it…not anymore that I don't," he said, getting up suddenly. "At least your okay, and that is what all it matters."



"But, what about you? You've fought for all of us in one battle and you…never gotten tired like you were in the past. What happened?" asked Kidd.



"I…don't know. That's all I can say. It just came and all," said Serge, shrugging his shoulders. "And the "Chrono Cross". Omendi said it was…inside me. I don't think so though. During that final battle, I used up all of its power to rescue your mom. But, why does he say it was inside me."



"Who knows, he's probably crazy like Leena when she gets drunk," said Kidd. Everyone laughed at the statement, forgetting the problem they've just endured. Korcha just came out of the crates and laughed with them.



Serge was laughing when something struck him in his mind. He stopped laughing, making everyone else stop. Kidd looked at him worriedly. "Serge, what's wrong?"



He looked up to the sky, his eyes seem like in a daze. "Do you…hear that…?"



"Hear what?" asked Glenn. Serge started to walk, stopping at the edge of the pier, looking into the ocean. The winds started to blow gently, swaying his blue locks through the rhythm of the wind.



Glenn, Kidd, and Korcha turned to look at him, seeing that Serge is either deep in thought or he is hearing things.



"That…song…it sounds…so familiar," he said, smiling a bit. "Someone's…calling me…"







~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Tell me how what guys think, and thanks for the nice reviews. Right now, I am starting on Chapter 8. See ya then…
