Chapter 7:
King Zephatro
After they had gone, Magus said, "Glenn, Cyrus, I know you hate me. Kill me now."
"Magus, thy do not understand, thou have let Marle and Lucca find Sir Crono for exchange of thou life," Frog said.
"No, you don't understand..."
"That be what I just said," said Frog.
Magus continued, "Lavos only stopped controlling me, because he believed that Crono is dead. Crono is his only true threat, for the boy has a power in him that is even more powerful than mine. I was his last recruit. Now knowing that Crono will most likely live, he will take control of my body again, and make me kill you all."
"Magus, by every fiber in my body, I would like to destroy you." said Cyrus.
"Then kill me! Before I kill you!" Magus ordered.
"It wouldn't be honorable to do so." said Cyrus. "You've changed your ways."
"NO! Ayla! Kino! Kill me now!" said Magus.
"Killing bad. Ayla no want kill," said Ayla.
"Ugh! Fine, I'll kill myself!" said Magus, as he fell backwards into the ocean.
"Magus! No!" Frog screamed.
"You fools are weak. You hesitate to kill. Lightning 2!" Magus yelled from the ocean. Lightning bolts struck everywhere out of his body. But because water conducts electricity, he would be hurt by his own attack. "Agh! Ice 2!" Once again Magus cast a spell on himself. He created a huge block of ice in the sky and made it fall on top of him.
"Magus stop!" Cyrus yelled from atop the mountain.
"Fire 2!" yelled Magus. Since he was in water the spell didn't have much effect on him, but there were still some burns. "Cyrus! Frog! Ayla! Kino! Atropos! Robo! Stand back. Dark Bomb!" Magus shot used his attack on the mountain, which made part of it crumble on top of him. "AGH!!! DARK MATTER!" Magus screamed, using the ultimate Shadow Magic attack, which killed him instantly.

Crono was flying through the black hole. Now, black holes are stars that have collided in space. They are quite similar to Gates (vortexes that take you through time), except black holes take you through space. Unfortunately, the radiation created inside of the black hole, is mind altering...meaning that your memory is completely erased, and cannot be brought back, unless you have a reminder of a strong memory.
Crono drifted out of the black hole, passed out from Magus's severe attacks. Fortunately, a Liujatron space cruiser was right in front of him.
"What the heck is that?" said one of the Liujatrons.
"I think it's Zephatro..." said the other.
"Baigor...it can't be...can it?" said the first.
"I don't know...Celik...I think it is," said Baigor.
Celik replied, "Baigor! Liujatrons have blue skin and blonde hair. This one's got tan skin and red hair."
Baigor said, "Well, we are in war, it's probably a disguise."
"Well, the more that you mention it," said Celik, "he is starting to look like the king."
"Well," said Baigor, "let's get him."
Celik got out of the cruiser, got Crono, and put him back in the spacecraft.
When they were all in, Celik said, "He looks pretty bruised up."
"Those freakin' Palzaros!" said Baigor.
"Don't worry, Baigor. We'll fry their butts and win the war," said Celik.
Baigor, who was piloting flew them off to Liuja, their home planet. In this part of the universe, there was a great war going on between the Liujatrons and the Palzaros. It had been going on for ages. Nobody knew how the war had started...they just knew it had. The Liujatrons had been losing the war for sometime. Thus, King Zephatro decided to fight along with the army. The King had been missing for years...but has he just been "found."
* * *
Crono awoke. "Where...where am I?"
"Your Majesty, you are finally awake," said Baigor.
"Your Majesty?" Crono asked.
"Yes, do you not remember? You are King Zephatro, the leader of the Liujatrons. We're here on Liuja, where you rule. You took quite a beating against those Palzaros," said Celik.
"Oh...yes...I see..." Crono said.
"We found you near Palzaron a week ago," Baigor explained, "and we nursed you back to health."
"Actually...I nursed you back to..."
"Shut up Tijino!" Celik yelled back.
"We brought you your favorite meal, Suglamatian slug stew," said Baigor.
"So, I like this meal?" Crono asked.
Tijino, the healer, said, "Oh yes very much sir. It's high in pro..."
Baigor interrupted, "Quiet Tijino! What are you doing here anyway? You are not superior enough to even look at the King."
While Crono was eating his stew, he said, "Why do you not like this...Tijino?"
"Well, as everyone knows, Liujatrons are well known for their powerful black magic. In fact, we are rated number eleven in black magic among all the creatures of the universe," said Baigor.
Celik said, "Tijino is determined to be a white mage, though. You know, one that doesn't use offensive magic."
"Other than Holy of course," Baigor added.
"But someone as weak as Tijino couldn't even use that. Remember, you told him to be a nurse! Hah! Ha! Ha!" said Celik while laughing.
Baigor laughed as well. "Heh! Heh! Heh! HA!"
Crono, confused, did the same. "Heh! Heh! Hah! Hah! Hah! Ha!"
Suddenly a beautiful Liujatron entered. Her name was Ritza. "Your Majesty, I was wondering if...now that you're awake and all...that you could train the group again..." she said blushing.
"Oh...okay...I...I...guess..." said Crono, not even knowing how he would train them.
"Here, sire, is the new sword that we found with you," said Celik.
Celik handed Crono the Yellow Katana. Suddenly, Crono's mind jogged.
* * *
He was in a huge forest with many creatures.
Suddenly, three frogs and two yellow creatures had disappeared.
"What's going on?" asked a girl in light blue.
"They're...they're in the wind." he said as if he didn't believe it.
"…Look out!" shouted a man with blond hair and tossed him a sword.
Without thinking, he grabbed the sword, turned around and, and slashed. Then he saw the yellow frog's body lying on the ground its to his head. "King Zephatro" had been extremely lucky.
Suddenly he shouted, "…Think fast!" and tossed him back the sword.
The blond boy did exactly what Zephatro did, though he was not as lucky. The blade hit the blue frog's sword, instead of his neck.
The King still awestruck about how lucky he had been reached down and took the yellow frog's sword. He whirled it around a bit. It was extremely light, though felt very powerful.
"Forget this," Zephatro said and tossed his old sword he bought earlier behind him. "This is much better than that Bolt Sword. Heck, it seems better than that old Red Katana I bought from Melchior!"
* * *
Crono shook his head and said to Ritza, "Would you please take me to wherever we train?"
"It would be an honor, your highness. I'll wait outside for you," said Ritza, still blushing.
"Is she always like this?" Crono asked.
"Well, Ritza's had a crush on you forever, sire. Don't you remember? Of course, when it comes to fighting, she is as strong and fearless anyone," said Baigor.
Crono walked outside the room. So did Celik and Baigor. They would be training too. Ritza lead them through many halls, all of which looked the same. They finally arrived at a large room with many Liujatrons inside.
"Hooray!" "Finally he's back!" "This is a waste of time..." "Don't say that; he's the king!" "Finally, I can become more powerful!"
The trainers were all excited.
"Well...um...would anybody like to tell me where we are in our training?" Crono, or King Zephatro, asked.
"Your Majesty," Baigor replied, "you were teaching us the way to use energy blasts. You focus it all on a certain spot, usually your hands, and then launch it."
"R..r...right...umm...okay...watch this," said Crono. He started doing as Baigor had told him. Suddenly, there was a spark in Crono's hands. It became bigger and bigger and bigger until it became a ball of green energy. "Stand back!" Crono said. And launched the ball which became bigger with the release. "Luminaire!"
The ball blew a gigantic hole in the wall...and the next wall...and the next wall...and the wall after that.
"That was amazing!" exclaimed Celik. "What did you say it was called?"
Crono said, "Luminaire." His mind started going back.
* * *
He was now in a place that was very cold.
"Haha! We've defeated Giga Gaia and rescued Melchior!!!" exclaimed the girl in blue that the "King" had seen before.
He felt a rush through his body. He had never felt like it before. He had leveled up, but he felt more powerful than ever before. He lifted his hands up into the sky and shot out a huge green ball of lightning.
"It's amazing!" a girl with purple hair exclaimed. "C...o's learned not only the ultimate Lightning Magic attack, but also the most powerful Magic attack ever! Luminaire!"
* * *
Crono shook his head again. Why was he having memories of taking a frog's sword, and defeating a man and his rock monsters?
"Let me try!" said Baigor. "Luminaire!"
"Me too!" said Celik. "Luminaire!"
They also shot huge balls of lightning out of their hands. But was a good asset to Crono? Or would it lead to his death?
