Chapter Two: Trouble at the Orphanage.

Later that night, Crono snuck inside the little orphanage, formerly Lucca's house. He steeped up toward Lucca's room. She had her elbows placed on the table, and her hands rubbing her forehead.

"What's the matter, Lucca? You can't look like this forever. The children look up to you to be cheery, mostly Kid."

"That's just it. I've been worried about Kid. Why did she even come here in the first place? Tonight has given me a bad feeling." She looked up toward him. "I want to give Kid a better name, but I'm not sure what." Crono snapped his fingers.

"I know! How about her true identity?"

"Yeah!" Lucca stood up. "Her name will be Sch-" A giant fireball stormed through the window. The room quickly filled up with smoke. Marle's figure could be seen at the foot of the steps.

"Lucca! Go save the children in the back room! Lavos has a new form! Crono and I will take care of them!" Crono quickly flew down the steps and followed Marle through a doorway. Lucca, on the other hand, rushed down to find her whole home ablaze. She ran up the other staircase, which used to be her mother's bedroom. In the middle, was a loose floorboard. She quickly slipped down the ladder, and into a narrow hallway. Running out of a doorway, she bumped into Kid.

"Lucca! What's going on?!" Lucca pushed Kid out of the way.

"Kid, get out of here!" Kid followed Lucca as she started to run into the back room. The door quickly slammed shut.

"Lucca! Let me in! I wanna help!" The handle jiggled, and finally snapped open. Kid fell to her knees, seeing Lucca's glasses on the floor. She stared up to find a dark cat-like figure holding Lucca by the neck. "Let Lucca go ya meanie!" He began to snicker.

"Who-are-you?!" Lucca panted. He glared around the room.

"I am the one sent to destroy all of you for ruining the Lavos' future. I am Lynx."

"Lynx, you'll be reckonin'!" He laughed as he held out his hand. Kid was about to charge at him, when a dark figure grasped her wrist. In his other hand, lay the Ice gun. "Crono?" The figure led her through the cackling building, to a peaceful hill, looking downward on the burning home. Kid fell to her knees, tears dripping down her cheek. "My home...It's-It's...!!!" Kid dropped her head, then slowly peeked up to look at her savior. "You! Are you going away?" The figure shook his head as he knelt down to her, placing his hands around her back. Kid lifted her hand to his cheek. "Your cheek...It's wet...? Thank you...thank you for saving me..." The figure began to flicker, and eventually disappeared. Kid slammed to the ground. "Please! Don't leave me! I'm going to be left all on my own again! Everyone I have ever loved has gone far, far away..." She crawled over to a tree, and stared up to the bright, white moon. "I'll find ya....Sometime, somewhere...I'll find ya! I'm sure." Kid lowered her head to the burning building. her eyes began to flutter shut.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun shone brighter than it had ever before. The small child awoke to find herself thoughtless. She could not remember much, even her name, except the fire. She stumbled down to the burnt building. The girl fell to her knees.

"Lucca, where are you?" She ambled through the ashes to find a small boy under a piece of wood. She dashed over to him and lifted the scrap wood. "Are you okay?!" The boy coughed.

"Lucca wanted, me to, give this to you." He held out a small pouch, containing an amulet and a note.

'This is the Astral Amulet.

This will be important for your future.

Take care,

Lucca.'

"Do you know where she we-!!" She stared down to the boy who lay with is eyes closed. He was dead. The girl quickly fled to the close village which lies to the north. It was also burnt to rubble. She ran to a port not too far off. It lay untouched. The boat keeper honked the horn, as the boat slowly drifted away. The girl dashed to the dock, leaping to catch the boat. She found herself landed in cargo. The boat sailed over the ocean to a world she did not know.
