Chapter 5: Showdown: Magus vs. Mage
The Epoch came back to 604 A.D. "Where's the frog?" Magus asked. "He said that he went to his home in the Cursed Woods, why?" Lucca asked. "If Mage is as strong as you say, then the mystics will not stand idly by as I battle her, I need you to hold off the mystics while I battle her." Magus said. Crono landed the Epoch and the four stepped out, Magus cast a spell and vegetation grew all around the Epoch, so it was no longer visible, Magus grabbed Lucca, Marle, and Crono in his arms and cast a teleportation spell.
Magus appeared in Frog's home. "Flea?" Magus asked. "Hi... Magus." Flea said. "What are you doing here?" Magus asked. "Mage is crazy! You were much nicer, to me anyway. She made the mystics almost a hundred times more powerful, I want you back. Oh yeah, and I'm really a girl, I lied about it all those years." Flea said. "Well, I'm glad you're here. I am going to defeat Mage. Crono, Frog, Marle, Lucca, and Flea, you will fight off the mystics while I attempt to defeat Mage." Magus said. "I cans't not go. I must remaineth here to protect my queen." Frog said. "I'll put a protection spell on the place, and we'll teleport out of here. Glenn..." Magus said, and Frog was surprised as Magus never called him Glenn. "Glenn... You are the best swordsman I know, I really need your help, and all of my attention must be on the battle if I am to emerge victorious." Magus said. "Well... Very well, I shall serve thee." Frog said. "Mine queen, Sir Landon, Mine King, I must leaveth thee here for the good of the world. I will returneth if 'tis possible." Frog said. "Frog, do what you have to do... for Gaurdia... for the world." Queen Leene said. Magus nodded and teleported them out.
Mage was sitting on her throne, composed of the bones of Gaurdian soldiers, suddenly Magus and the others appeared. "Ah, Janus. I knew you would come eventually." Mage said. "Don't call me Janus... Only my sister calls me Janus... And you are NOT my sister." Magus said, drawing the Mastermune. "Oh, but dear brother, I only followed in your footsteps, I never turned a helpless man into a frog. However, I see you have brought a mystical scythe of some sort to stop me. But you my dear sweet brother are weak, you have only communed with the black wind, I control the black wind, I am the black wind!!" Mage said. "You are arrogant, like our mother. You only think you have full control of your power, but in reality you are a puppet of the dark wind, just like mother was a puppet of Lavos." Magus said. "Lies! The wind tried to take my soul, but I defeated it!" Mage said. "Did you now? The Schala I know viewed all as equals, she was a child of nature, and she wouldn't hurt a fly. You lost your soul without even knowing it. You are a fool to believe otherwise." Magus said. "I am not Schala!!! I am Mage!!!" Mage said angrily. "You see? You are angered by even being Schala, you are angry at yourself, the black wind is controlling you, and you do not even know it." Magus said. "I am still more powerful than you!!!" Mage said. "Then come... you will see that I am not easy to kill." Magus said.
Mage cast Dark Matter, but Magus' magic barrier stopped it, Magus cast Dark Mist, Mage growled in pain as the mist ate at her flesh. Magus cast Magic Wall on himself, as there was no protect magic spell that did damage. Mage hit Magus with a lightning, meanwhile Crono and the others were doing their best to hold off the attacking mystic army. Crono cast Luminaire, Lucca cast Flare, Marle cast Ice2, Frog used Frog Squash, and Flea used MP Drain. Magus cast a new spell he had learned, the spell was called Dark Gate. A large portal opened behind Mage and darkness flowed out from it, the darkness formed the shapes of monsters and all sorts of horrific creatures, they clawed at Mage, bit her, they began to eat at her flesh. Mage warded off the creatures, she began to chant, but Magus cast a water spell and a tidal wave hit Mage, making her fall to the ground, Mage continued to chant, Magus then cast Lightning2, then Fire2, Mage continued to chant. Mage finally released a spell, she had second guessed Magus and cast a fire spell called Inferno. Magus' flesh began to burn, his hair became singed and his throat was dry. Magus growled and cast Dark Inferno, a dark flame engulfed Mage, her skin began to burn and crack, her scream echoed through the halls, Magus followed up that spell with a spell called Dark Wind, knives of darkness cut into Mage, her body was covered in cuts. Magus rushed over to Mage and placed the Mastermune against Mage's neck. "You are worse than mother. Great power is useless if one cannot use it correctly." Magus said. "Then let's settle this scythe to scythe, shall we?" Mage asked. Magus backed away slightly, Mage stood up and pulled out her own scythe, a dark bomb hit Mage and she fell, "We agreed no magic!" Mage said. "No, you did, I said nothing." Magus said. Mage began to growl and the black wind thickened around her, turning into a maelstrom.
Meanwhile Ozzie and Slash appeared in the mystic ranks. Crono cast Luminaire on Slash, Lucca used Flare, Marle used Ice2, Flea used Prism Beam, and Frog used Frog Squash. Slash was nearly unharmed, Crono rushed forward with his rainbow katana and hit Slash with a Spincut, Frog used a Leap Slash, Marle simply shot Slash, Lucca threw a grenade, and Flea used Charm. The Mage Armor was Flea's gift, now Slash was vulnerable, Crono used another Luminaire, Lucca used Flare, Marle used Ice2, Flea used Charm on Ozzie and got Ozzie Pants, a powerful helmet. (Why would you wanna wear giant underpants on your head?) Frog used Frog Squash and Slash was killed. Ozzie rushed forward and cast his Stasis Shield; he began casting spells such as Dark Bomb, and Dark Matter and such. Crono was clueless on what to do other than dodge the blasts. Flea cast dispel on Ozzie and his shield disappeared, Crono cast Luminaire, Flea cast Prism Beam, Marle cast Ice2, Lucca used Flare, and Frog used Frog Squash. Ozzie died, and the group once again began to hack at the army of mystics.
The dark wind around Mage began to swirl and lift her off the ground. "Dear Brother, you do not know power. You are weakness, a handicap, you are a tick on the back of the black wind, and you must be picked off and burned." Mage said, and the black tornado around her began to come towards Magus. Magus cast Dark Matter on the tornado, to no avail. Magus was lifted up by the maelstrom of black wind, a scythe was planted in his chest, he fell limp and slid down the wall, the tornado stopped, and Mage threw back in laughter. "You Janus are dead." Mage said. Magus tried his best to stay awake as he felt if he went unconscious he would die, Mage laughed maniacally. "Schala!!" the voice of Queen Zeal appeared, "Mother?" Mage asked, but it was kinder like Schala. "Schala, stop this madness. How could you kill your own brother?" Queen Zeal asked. "How could I kill him? You killed Janus, your madness drove Janus back to this godforsaken time, Janus died years ago, I killed only Magus." Mage said. Magus blinked, did she really think he was dead. Mage charged up a bolt and the ghost of Queen Zeal disappeared.
Suddenly a time gate opened and what looked a great deal like the Lavos core walked out, but it looked mostly human somehow. "I am the son of Lavos, I am a half spawn. Your time has come, Schala of Zeal." the son of Lavos said, picking up the Mastermune. Mage rushed forward and the two scythes locked. Sparks shot across the room as the two scythes connected repeatedly. Lavos used Crying Heavens/ Hidden Blow on Mage, Mage was knocked back. The black wind swirled around Lavos, the same with Mage until both were large black tornados. The tornados of black wind connected repeatedly, sparks shot from them. Magus reached down to the scythe in his chest and pulled it out, he grunted in pain. Magus reached into his belt and grabbed an elixir; he drank it down and stood up. The two tornados locked together, a shower of sparks and blood shot from them, suddenly the Mastermune flew from the tornado Lavos was in and landed with a clang on the ground, the tornado dissipated, Lavos was cut in half down the middle, Mage cast Inferno and incinerated Lavos.
Magus stood up and grabbed the Mastermune. "What's the matter little brother, gonna cry?" Mage asked. Magus' iris eyes glowed red with rage, he cast every spell he knew all at once, Fire2, Ice2, Lightning2, Dark Bomb, Dark Mist, Black Hole, Dark Matter, Dark Gate, Dark Inferno, Dark Wind, and a spell he had only cast once before and prayed he would never have to cast again... Dark Maelstrom. This barrage would have killed almost anyone, but Mage absorbed it. Magus was too wiped out to cast another spell "Thank you brother, the dark wind feeds on magic; you have just given it a buffet. Now it shall engulf your puny body." Mage said.
"Stop!!!! I do not condone this!!!" a voice said. A creature that looked like a blue Lavos Core stood before Magus and Mage. "Who the hell are you?" Mage asked. "The name's Spekkio, the Master of War. I am in reality the entity whose memories you live in now. I however must interfere, I cannot destroy you, but I can put you in stasis for a while. A bubble appeared around Mage and she could not escape it for a great deal of time. Spekkio offered Magus his hand, "So.... You're the entity?" Magus asked. "That and more." Spekkio replied. "Now you cannot defeat the black wind with any of the four elements. Fortunately that amulet of yours should protect you from being engulfed by the dark wind, but you'll need Lunar magic to destroy it." Spekkio said. "You can give that to me?" Magus asked. "Why of course, I can also make it so you learn all the spells in seconds." Spekkio replied. Spekkio did his chant and Magus was engulfed in white light, "I know all of the spells. Thank you Spekkio, you are a true lifesaver." Magus said. "Well, I must be off. As soon as I leave that barrier will disappear." Spekkio said. Magus nodded and Spekkio disappeared as quickly as he had come.
The barrier went away and Mage said, "So, you have a shiny new toy eh? Well I can still kill you with my dark tornado." Mage said and the black wind appeared around her, lifting her off the ground. "You aren't the only one who can do that now, the white wind will stop you." Magus said, he too was engulfed in a tornado, but it was as white as pearl. The two tornados collided repeatedly, they became one large gray tornado, and in amongst the maelstrom, Mage and Magus fought to the death.
Mage cast several of her dark spells, but they where all intercepted by Magus' magic barrier. Mage cast Dark Matter, Magus cast Lunar Mist, and a white mist appeared around Magus, caught all the dark energy, and shot it back at Mage. Mage cast Dark Mist, Magus cast Lunar Bomb, the bomb exploded around Mage and she grunted in pain. Magus cast Lunar Maelstrom, Mage was greatly weakened, her tornado dissipated. Crono, Marle, Frog, Flea, and Lucca burst into the room to see Magus descending from the ceiling towards the weak Mage. Mage cowered in fear, "You see sister, light always prevails over darkness. Now comes the time of redemption, Magus took the Mastermune in his hands and planted the blade deep in Mage's heart. Mage shrieked in pain and fell backward; the black wind flew from her body, letting out a wail of pain as it did so. Magus removed the Mastermune and it turned back into a broad sword. Magus gave the blade back to Frog. "Glenn, now that I know Lunar Magic, I can reverse that spell. Do you wish it?" Magus asked. Frog thought for a second, "...Nay... I wish to remaineth in this form. Unless thou couldst find a way to make so I would only changeth when I wanted, and I couldst changeth back at will." Frog said. "I think I can do that." Magus said, he cracked his knuckles and began to chant, the magic flowed through Frog's body, and suddenly he was Glenn again. "I thank thee Magus." Frog said. "Not a problem." Magus said. "Crono... Come here." Magus said. Crono walked forward, Magus placed his hand on Crono's mouth and his hand glowed. When the light dissipated Crono asked, "What did you do?" everyone except Magus gasped in surprise, "Hey! I have... I have a tongue!!" Crono said, Crono was born without a tongue and he had never known what it was like to speak, everyone just somehow knew what he was thinking. "Thank you so much!" Crono said. Magus gave a slight smile.
"What wilt thou do now that Schala be dead?" Frog asked. Magus held Schala's body in his arms, her hair had become sky blue once again, her face had regained it's color, her ears and teeth had went back to normal, Magus suspected that her eyes were green again as well. "Schala is not dead, she will wake up soon. She is just regaining her soul, a soft groan came from Schala, her eyes slowly opened, showing their brilliant emerald color. "Janus?" Schala asked. "Yes." Magus said, stroking Schala's hair. "I... I'm sorry I couldn't save you from the mystics, I only went through four years of their torture, and you went through thirteen. I now know why you look so sad..." Schala said, sliding one corner of her shirt down to show the whip scars covering her back. Magus hugged his sister tight, "No... I discovered my true abilities of magic, thanks to these horrid creatures, for better or worse, they helped me. I am only sorry that I couldn't save you before all of this happened." Magus said. "It's okay... Everything's happy now." Schala said. "It truly is..." Magus said.
Epilogue
Magus walked up to Crono and the gang. "Well, I am off to 24,995 B.C. with Schala. Thanks to Spekkio's power boost, I now have the know how to open portals." Magus said. "Uhhh..... Magus." Flea said. "Yes Flea?" Magus asked. "Well, seeing as the people of this time won't welcome me with open arms, I was wondering. Could I come with you and Schala?" Flea asked, looking rather nervous. "Of course Flea. Farewell all of you." Magus said as he opened a gate and stepped in with Flea and Schala. The portal closed. "I suppose I shalt be off as well. I shalt teleport to the queen. 'Twas a pleasure fighting with thee, I hopeth to see thou again." Glenn said and teleported away. "Well, I've had enough adventure for now, let's go take the gurus home now." Lucca said. "Yes, let's." Crono said. "Wow, I'll never get used to that." Marle said shaking her head. The Epoch came and landed Crono, Marle, and Lucca took off through the time stream.
Meanwhile: Spekkio looked down from his screen at the end of time, "And they lived happily ever after..." Spekkio said to himself, a satisfied smile on his face.
