Magus Part 1: The Legacy
By: MasklessDuckman
Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!
This story takes place before the events of Chrono Trigger, about the time that Janus goes to medieval times. It goes through the events to the ending of the game. I have changed none of the lines as I felt like it, I stayed up till three in the morning writing the lines on a post it note. The game ending I used was the millenium fair ending with Chrono, Magus, and the Epoch still around. So... Enjoy!
Chapter 1:The Beginning
Janus ran through the Ocean Palace as fast as his little legs could carry him, his cat Alfador following closely behind. Janus finally reached the bridge over the molten metal and sped across as quickly as possible. Janus pressed a button next to the door and entered the room, there was Janus' mother Levana Zeal, his sister Schala in pain trying to raise Lavos, the three Guru's Belthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior stood watching as the Mammon Machine pulsed and glowed. "Schala!" Janus said and rushed over to his sister, suddenly glowing rifts appeared, pulling Belthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior into separate portals. Janus was shocked to see such a thing, suddenly one appeared in front of him, Janus tried to turn and run, but the portal's pull was too strong. Janus managed to yell, "Schala!" as he was pulled into the portal, portal closed behind Janus, the following events remain unknown.
Janus was thrown from the blue portal and onto the ground, he picked himself up. Janus looked around, he was in a sunny forest, three blue creatures with big heads, and one big fat green one looked at him rather surprised. "Get him!" The fat one said. The little blue creatures ran at Janus and grabbed his arms and legs, clawing at his face and biting him. "Stop it!" Janus said out of fear and anger, lightning bolts rang from the skies and hit all three of the blue things, they seemed to disintegrate. The big fat goblin was amazed, "You can use magic?" he thought aloud. Janus looked at his hands, he had never been able to use magic, of course neither had his mother. But somehow he had used it. The fat green thing grabbed Janus by the waist and began to float out of the forest. Janus kicked and screamed, and the green guy cast a sleeping spell on him.
Janus opened his eyes, he surveyed the small room. His hands where in shackles, he sat on what looked like a bed, but felt like a slab of stone, the room he was in was dirty and filled with old rotten hay. There was a small lantern with dirt-covered glass on it, the room was sickening. "Oh I see that you're awake cutey." a voice said. Janus looked over and saw a woman with pink skin and pink hair, she wore all white with a little red. "Who are you lady?" Janus asked rather angrily. "Lady? I am no lady, I am a man." The woman looking creature said. "You could have fooled me." Janus said dryly. The androgynous creature fumed and said, "Hey! You're the slave here! Shut up! My name is Flea the great magician. Ozzie has sent me to train you." "Why would I want to train under a transvestite like you?" Janus asked. "Argh!! I said shut up! Now you will train, or... I'll give you some of these." Flea said and held up several small blue orbs. "What are those?" Janus asked curiously. "These are freelancer eyeballs. They are an acquired taste, and pure torture to those who hate them." Flea said smiling wickedly. Flea popped one into Janus' mouth and held it shut. The taste was pure torture, it was bitter, sour, and it seemed to burn his tongue all at the same time. Finally the thing dissolved in his mouth, but the taste remained on his tongue. "Now behave cutie, or I'll use those again." Flea said. Janus decided to stop making fun of Flea and shut his mouth. Flea released the shackles on Janus' arms, "Now, day one begins." Flea said smiling wickedly.
Janus was drug out in the hallway, for the first time he realized that he was not wearing his purple robe, instead he wore the clothes of a prisoner or a slave. Janus stared at the ground and a single tear dripped from his cheek. "Schala." he mumbled quietly, he wished he knew enough about magic to kill the transvestite in front of him, but he didn't. Janus was lead into a room full of books, on the table where several scrolls. "Now, this is where we study. After a few minutes of studying, it's into the courtyard for a field test of you're magic abilities, then I turn it over to Slash." Flea said. Janus did not like the sound of that name, it worried him. Janus studied for a few hours before Flea drug him out in the courtyard for field-testing. "Now, focus you're mind on the target and say the spell." Flea said pointing to a dummy. Janus thought hard and focused on the target. "Fire!" Janus said, the dummy went up in flames. "There, now, two more!" Flea said. Janus did two more fire spells, "Four more!" Flea said, and Janus did four more fire spells. "Seven more!" Flea demanded, Janus did about five and collapsed, Flea walked over and proceeded to kick the boy over and over again, "Get up you worthless sack of crap!" Flea said still kicking Janus in the side. Flea reached into a small pot on his side and brought out two of the blue orbs and placed them in Janus' mouth. "Yech!" Janus said and spit as he sat up. "Two more!" Flea said. "I don't have the strength." Janus said. Flea picked Janus up by the hair and glared in his eyes. Flea flashed his dagger like teeth at Janus and prepared to strangle him, "Ahem!" a loud cough was heard, Flea sat Janus down and said, "You got lucky you worthless little good for nothing!" Flea walked off and in his place a tall creature with purple skin appeared, he had no hair, and big round lips, his eyes glowed yellow, and there was a sword in his belt. "I am Slash, I will be doing you're battle training. If you thought Flea was bad, then you haven't seen anything yet. Flea uses those stupid blue orbs, but I believe in good old fashion pain!" Slash said stretching a whip out in front of him, "Now, you will obey me and do as I say or you slash taste this whip." Slash growled. "Y... Yes Lord Slash." Janus said looking at the whip. "Now, take this sword. You're first day of training begins." Slash said. Slash handed Janus a broad sword and held his own katana ready to start. Janus struggled to pick up the weapon and just barely lifted it up. "It's too big for me." Janus said. Crack! Crack! the whip hit Janus on he back twice tearing his shirt. "You will do as I say. I say use that sword." Slash said. Janus was crying from pain. Crack! Crack! Crack! "No crying!" Slash yelled. Janus wiped his tears away and charged as best as he could at Slash. Slash parried the attack and knocked Janus across the floor. "That was pitiful!" Slash yelled. "I told you, this damn sword is too big!" Janus yelled Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! "Don't you dare talk back to me boy!" Slash said angrily. "I... I am sorry Lord Slash." Janus said. "That's better. Now charge again." Slash said. "Yes Lord Slash." Janus said. Janus came up with a plan, Janus did just as he had done a moment ago, but at the last minute spun around to hit Slash in the knee with the blade, Slash was of course fast enough to block this attack, and with one punch knocked Janus across the courtyard.
That night the Slash and Flea locked Janus in his room, they did not put on his shackles and left a basket of moldy bread and rotten meat on the table next to him. Janus laid on bed and grabbed the amulet around his neck that Slash and Flea had somehow missed. "Schala..." Janus sighed. A tear dropped from Janus' face and he softly sobbed himself to sleep.
Chapter 2: The Birth of Magus (Ten Years Later)
Janus dodged an attack from Slash, he was now seventeen and faster, but still he handled the broadsword clumsily. "Lord Slash." Janus said. "I would ask a small question teacher." Janus said. "Go ahead." Slash continued. "May I try another weapon? I feel that I was not built to use swords." Janus pleaded. "Very well, follow me to the armory." Slash said and they went through the halls of the castle and found the armory. Janus examined all of the weapons, he picked up an axe... Too clumsy, Janus tried a mace... too heavy, a flail... not his style, a spear... to limited, a bow... no, finally Janus saw exactly what he was looking for. There in a wooden box sat a scythe, it's black iron blade seemed to glow. "That one." Janus said and pointed at the scythe. "I must first get Ozzie's permission." Slash replied. A few moments later Slash returned with Ozzie. "So, you want to use my ancestor's scythe?" Ozzie asked. "Yes." Janus replied. Ozzie removed the scythe from it's box and handed it to Janus, "Slash, test him." Ozzie said and walked out to the courtyard.
"You may have a shiny new toy." Slash said. "But you are still a poor fighter, and you will lose." Slash laughed. "If I lose, I will take thirty lashes." Janus said. "Oh, getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we?" Slash asked. "No." Janus replied. Slash rushed forward, his sword (The Slasher) ready to cleave through Janus. Janus took the handle of the staff and jabbed Slash in the ribs, he then kicked Slash in the face. Slash hit Janus with the sharp side of his sword, but some sort of magic barrier made him do minimal damage. Janus clocked Slash on the head and walked over to Ozzie, "You will bow down to me as you're king Ozzie." Janus said. Ozzie laughed and cast a magic attack, which strangely did the same as Slash's sword. Ozzie bowed to Janus. "Oh yes Lord Janus!" Ozzie said. "Not Janus... I am no longer Janus Zeal. Call me... Magus." Janus said. "Yes Lord Magus!" Ozzie groveled.
Chapter 3: The Fall of Magus
Magus led the Mystics in battle and declared war upon all creatures. Months later Magus got wind that a knight named Cyrus and his friend Glenn had gotten hold of the legendary sword the Masamune, it was said to be able to destroy even Magus' strong magic shield. Magus awaited the two on Mystic Mountain. He and Ozzie sat there for hours when finally the knight and his scrawny friend reached the summit. "Magus, I shall end you're reign of terror!" Cyrus said. Magus sent a fireball at Cyrus, one so powerful that his armor melted from his body. With Cyrus last breath he said, "Glenn... Run! Save yourself." Glenn looked up. "How about a more suitable form." Ozzie suggested. Magus nodded, he began to chant and a lightning bolt hit Glenn, but it did not injure him, instead Glenn began to glow, he thrashed and fell from the mountain. "What did you turn him into Lord Magus?" Ozzie asked excitedly. "A frog." Magus said. The two returned to the castle.
Three years later Magus thought of a plan to kidnap the queen, the boy that he had turned into a frog was now the queens protector. Magus disguised a monster named Yakra as the chancellor of Gaurdia castle and wiped out a cathedral full of nuns and set up Yakra's base there. Months later Magus heard that Yakra had been defeated and the queen returned safely. Magus growled angrily. Weeks later the Zenan Bridge was rebuilt and Magus sent Ozzie and some mystics to destroy it. Ozzie retreated and his monster Zombor was destroyed. Magus hit the table with his fist, then months later he got wind that the Frog knight had got the Masamune. Magus then heard from his sentries that the frog knight, a boy with red spiky hair, and a girl with blonde hair and a crossbow where coming, all of them knowing how to use magic. Magus told Ozzie, Slash, and Flea to protect the castle while he "created" a beast called Lavos. Magus was of course lying, he really intended to summon Lavos and destroy him in retribution for his sister.
Magus began to say the spell that would summon Lavos when footsteps where heard behind him. Magus turned around and saw the frog knight, the boy, and the girl. Magus entered battle with them and kept casting random spells to avoid his magic barrier being infiltrated, but every attack from the Masamune was strong and hurt him greatly until his magic barrier was broken. Magus mostly just cast Magic Wall, and his ultimate spell Dark Matter. But soon Lavos rose and the three learned that Magus was not the one who created Lavos. A time portal sucked them in, and one did the same to Magus.
Magus looked around, it was Zeal Palace. Magus soon learned that it was before the events that threw him back through time. Magus conjured up a hooded cape and disguised himself as a prophet of Queen Zeal. But soon enough trouble came, it was the boy again, with the frog, and another girl with purple hair and a helmet. Dalton managed to defeat them with his golem and put them in the Mammon Machine, Schala freed them, but Magus knew that he didn't need those fools screwing up his plans. Magus had Schala send them through the time gate in which they came and sealed it behind them.
Later on Schala disappeared to the lower world, Dalton returned with her and waited in the throne room while Magus, Schala, and Queen Zeal continued to the Ocean Palace. Schala began to chant as her mother told her to. Schala was hit by a wave of pain and Magus was tempted to help her, but knew that he had to pick his time just right. The boy named Crono (Janus had found this out during the battle with them), followed by a strange yellow armored creature, and the frog knight rushed in. Crono placed a red knife in the Mammon Machine but it wasn't enough. The creatures Masa and Mune fused together to form the Masamune. The Masamune was however, too late as Lavos was summoned. Crono, the yellow creature, and the frog knight fought against Lavos but where defeat. Magus rushed in and revealed himself. "Oh a false prophet. No matter, I will have to kill you!" Queen Zeal said. Magus rushed forward and slashed at Lavos' head/beak/eye whatever. But Lavos was unfazed and knocked Magus back. Crono stood up and walked over to Lavos, he seemed to float in the air, a stream of energy shot from the eye/mouth and Crono disintegrated literally. Lavos was subdued and Schala sent the yellow thing, Magus, and the frog knight away via a teleportation spell.
Magus awoke below an ocean cliff, somehow the ocean palace had destroyed everything except the small island Magus was on, and the few survivors of the destruction lived in the small village south of him. Suddenly Magus heard footsteps above him, he teleported up there. "So it's you..." Magus said. The frog knight, the blonde girl with the bow, and a new woman with blonde hair dressed only in animal skins prepared for battle. "Magus!" Frog hissed at the warlock. "Behold. Everything's at the bottom of the sea. Gone is the magical kingdom of Zeal, and all the dreams and ambitions of it's people." Magus said and turned to face the time travelers. "I once lived there... But I was another person then" Magus said and conjured up a magic image of the day he was sucked into the time gate.
"Hmm...! A dimensional warp!" Gaspar said. "The power is beyond human control!" Belthasar said, Queen Zeal ignored both gurus as Schala chanted and Queen Zeal only stared straight ahead. "No... We'll be dragged into the warp!" Melchior said shocked. Suddenly Janus ran in, "Schala!" he said. 'No Janus!! Stay Away!" Schala replied to Janus. "B, but!? Janus started but suddenly Lavos appeared. "It's, It's a...!!" Melchior spit out before a time gate pulled in. "A Time Gate!?" Gaspar said and was sucked into another time gate. "No!!" Belthasar said and he too was sucked into another time gate. "S, Schalaaa!!" Janus screamed, but it was too late. He was sucked into a time gate. Magus' image dissipated.
"So! Thou art... ... Thou art that filthy Urchin!" Frog said rather annoyed. Magus turned back towards the ocean. "... Ever since Lavos' time portal stranded me in the middle ages... I have waited to even the score. You interrupted me just when I had summoned Lavos to my castle. How ironic that, having been into yet another portal, I would end up in this age. Being from the future, my knowledge of the past enabled me to convince the queen that I was a mighty Oracle. But no history book could gave prepared me for what happened here. Unimaginable is the power of Lavos, anyone who dares to oppose... It... Meet's certain doom. At this rate, you too, will meet a hideous fate. Just like that fool, Crono!" Magus said and faced the time travelers once again. The frog knight's face got rather contorted, teetering between anger and sorrow, finally he said, "...!? You dare to insult him?!" "He's history! Play with fire and you get burned." Magus said calmly. "Magus!! Hold thy tongue!!" the frog knight said pulling the masamune from it's sheath. "You wish to fight me?" Magus asked. The frog knight thought for a second and sheathed the Masamune. "Nay. Vanquishing thee will neither return Crono or Cyrus." Frog said. Magus was silent and turned back to face the ocean. The frog knight and the two women began to leave, "Wait." Magus said and walked down to them, the three time travelers turned around to face the warlock. "I'll come with you." Magus said. "Treachery!!" the frog knight said, but Magus simply ignored the knight. "You know, there might be a way to bring him back." Magus said. "Nonsense...!?" The frog knight replied. "Gaspar, the Guru of Time, knows how to restore lost or misplaced time streams..." Magus said. The frog knight waved him, on, the blond girl with the bow disappeared.
The group helped to equip Magus, the frog knight told everyone's name, the frog knight went on by the name Frog, the blond woman in animal skins was Ayla, the blond girl with the bow was Marle, the purple haired girl with the helmet was Lucca, the yellow creature was something called a robot named Robo, and the time machine they flew in was called the Epoch. Magus, Frog, and Ayla left the sales Nu and climbed aboard the Epoch.
Frog was just about to engage the time machine when a great rumbling could be heard. "That's...!" Magus said. The ocean palace rose from the sea and just seemed to hover in the air. "The Ocean Palace hath risen?" Frog asked no one in particular. "Surely it doth not beckon us!" Frog thought out loud. "Me hate! Ayla not like boat!!" Ayla said jumping up in down in her seat. "The Undersea Palace? This is impossible...!" Magus said. Frog engaged the time machine and the Epoch went to the end of time.
Chapter 4: Come Back Crono
The epoch stopped in a dark misty place that Frog told Magus was the end of time. Magus walked across a sort of bridge and the room was small, two buckets, each with a glowing orb on it, two doors, one on the east wall, the other on the north, there was a light post in the center of the room, an old man slept under it as Marle, Lucca, and Robo just sat around. Frog approached the old man and pocked him with his index finger, the man awoke with a start and said, "Hey, where's that healthy kid with the radical haircut?" Frog told the entire story, "... This is terrible news... I have nothing to give you but this song. It's called... Memories of Crono." The old man pulled a small music box from his pocket and wound it, it began to play a sad melody. "I wish I could lend a hand..." the old man said.
"Only the guru of time can help us now..." Magus said. "Hey, where have you been?" the old man asked. Magus told his entire story thus far. "So that's your story... And just look at you now... You've become quite formidable!" The old man said. "Heh?..." Magus said. "The guru of time eh? Heard of him of course, but what do you want with him?" the old man said. "We've heard he might be the one to bring our Crono back..." Frog said. "To bring back lost loved ones... It's what everyone wants... Crono must be proud to have friends like you..." The man said. Magus, Frog, and Ayla turned and began to walk towards the Epoch. "Hey." The man said and the three turned around and walked back to him. "Here, take this with you." The old man said and presented a golden egg encrusted with jewels. "Egg! Ayla hungry, want eat!" Ayla said jumping up and down. "Let us call that the Chrono Trigger. It is pure potential. By unleashing a specific course of events, it ca have a powerful effect on time. Ask the one who made the Epoch, your Wings of Time, how to hatch it... Like any egg, it represents a possibility... It may or may not... hatch. But the Chrono Trigger gives you the potential to get your friend back... The egg will have one effect equal to the effort you put into your search. No more, and no less, Don't forget that. As long as you keep Crono in your heart, the day you are dreaming of shall arrive..." The old man said. "I get it... It's you isn't it...?" Magus asked. "Wh... What? so... Thee art Gaspar, The Guru of Time!" Frog said. "Um... Well... ... I believe that's what they used to call me... years ago..." The old man replied. Magus, Frog, and Ayla went to 2300 A.D. to Keeper's Dome to see the Nu with Belthasar's memories.
Frog poked at the sleeping robot that resembled a Nu, the Nu awoke with a start and said, "On Death Peak you will find the power to restore life. But to activate this power the deceased must be important to the space-time continuum. And you MUST have a clone identical to that person. Only then, can a Chrono Trigger work it's magic... Need a clone? The magician, Norstein Bekkler could whip one up in the wink of an eye. Bekkler loves festivals, find a festival, and there, too, you shall find Bekkler!" The Nu fell back asleep. Magus, Frog, and Ayla left Keeper's Dome and went to the Millennial Fair in 1000 A.D.
Magus, Frog, and Ayla played the games and gathered up forty silver points. The three entered the "Tent of Horrors" and talked to Bekkler. "Welcome to Norstein Bekkler's lab. The spine tingling show is about to start! So! You want a Crono clone? Normally I'd never do this, but today I'll make an exception. Challenge me, and I'll give you a clone. The longer you stay in the game, the lower my price will be." Bekkler said. The rules where simple, Frog had to mimic the exact movements of the clone, one mistake and he lost. The game started and the clone was brought out, the clone either laughed, acted surprised, raised it's left arm, or raised it's right arm. The clone randomly did these four movements at an ever-quickening pace until the game was over and they got the clone for free. "The clone will be at Crono's house."
The group walked in Crono's house, a cat walked up to Magus and rubbed against his leg. The three ran upstairs, a green haired woman was making the bed, probably Crono's mother. Frog walked over to the woman, "Oh, hello! Is Crono okay?" Crono's mother asked. "Uh... aye! He be fine in health!" Frog lied. "I hope he's behaving. Tell him to be good, all right?" Crono's mother said. "... Madam..." Frog asked. "Yes, dear?" Crono's mother asked not turning around. Frog was about to talk about Crono's death put Ayla placed her hand over his large mouth and shook her head. "By thy leave, mayhap we taketh this doll?" Frog asked. "Go right ahead dear." Crono's mother replied. The group began to walk out the door, "Stay out of trouble, now!" Crono's mother said as they walked down the stairs. Magus thought how nice it would have been to have a sweet caring mother like her. The three carried the clone out to the Epoch and returned to Keeper's Dome in 2300 A.D.
"Enough. The time has come for you to attempt Death Peak. It's the only chance you have of reviving your friend. The last program I've implanted in this creature's memory banks will help you up the mountain. Stand back." The Nu said. The Nu went into the room behind him, out of the door, one at a time, came three blue Poyozo dolls. "Executing Program!" The first doll said and disappeared. "Executing Program!" The second doll said and disappeared. "Executing Program!" The third doll said and disappeared. The Nu came back out, "The three entities you saw will help you climb Death Peak. This ends my message. Now I must ask you for a favor. This creature has executed it's program. Please let him sleep. The switch is on it's stomach." The Nu said. Frog pushed the button on it's stomach and the creature shut down.
Death Peak was a long journey, there where three Lavos spawns on the mountain that had to be defeated. But finally the summit was reached. "So, this is the summit of Death's Peak!" Frog said presenting the time egg. "We ask for your strength... Thee who fear'eth the night and stand against the darkness." Frog said. "Crono!" Ayla said. Suddenly Marle's pendant that Ayla wore around her neck began to glow. The time egg reacted with the pendent and the time egg flew up into the air, it glowed brightly and shattered. "It, it is shattered!! 'Tis folly... To hath traveled so far." Frog said staring down at the ground. "No sadness! Ayla lonely too! Sad Crono not come back." Ayla said placing a hand on Frog's shoulder. "Crono! Giveth me an answer!" Frog said. Suddenly the sun that was clearly visible on top of the mountain eclipsed. Suddenly Frog, Ayla, and Magus where standing at the exact moment Crono died, they where in the room in the ocean palace, time was frozen. "Like stone statues. 'Tis eerie..." Frog said touching the frozen version of himself. "A time freeze... I never thought it possible." Magus said looking around. "Only us move?" Ayla asked. "We'll just exchange the clone for Crono." Frog said walking towards the still version of Crono. Frog pulled the frozen Crono down and placed the clone in his place. "'Tis and eerie place. Let us withdraw quickly." Frog said holding the frozen Crono. "Hurry! We take Crono!' Ayla said and hoisted the boy over her muscular shoulders. "Save the hellos for later! We've got work to do." Magus said. Suddenly they where back on Death's Peak, Crono was leaning against a tree. "'Tis good of you to return, Crono." Frog said. "Crono back!! Crono okay?" Ayla asked, Crono nodded. "Thou art a lucky lad. Thy friends be loyal and true!" Frog said. Suddenly they where all at the end of time.
Chapter 5: Crono's Return
Magus, Frog, Crono, and Ayla approached Gaspar. "So! Looks like you were successful! No, don't thank me. I didn't do a thing. I just gave you a place to begin... If you really want to thank me, make me a member of your team! By the way, the Wings of Time has come looking for you. It seems to have a heart and mind of it's own... You wish to fight Lavos, correct? Many paths lay open to you. You may use that bucket. Or fly the Wings of Time to the "Day of Lavos"... Or there's the Black Omen, which floats in the sky above your world. Lavos is somehow connected with it. It's up to you to decide when and where to fight Lavos. By now you must realize you are the only ones who stand a chance against him... However you will not be alone. I have had vague glimpses of events, people and places that will empower you... In the middle ages, a woman's sheer determination brings a forest back to life... a fugitive in the middle ages, Ozzie, maintains an evil hideout... There's a task to be done in the future, where machinery originated. And there's a very special stone that can shine it's light on each generation from the distant past to the far future... There's the ghost of a lofty knight, slain by Magus in the middle ages, who haunts the present... There's an object in the middle ages that sparkles like a rainbow... One of you is close to someone who needs help... find that person... fast. Just as you touch the lives of every life form you met, so, too will their energy strengthen you. Fail to live up to your potential, and you will never win... I am sorry that I must simply witness the coming spectacle from my vantage point here..." Gaspar said. (Long wasn't it? You weren't the one who had to copy this all from the game at three in the morning so you could put it in the story, so shut your hole!)
Magus, Frog, and Ayla, as well as Robo and Marle at certain points did several quests. The woman Fiona's forest was planted opening up a shrine and a large forest in 1000 A.D. courtesy of Robo. The moonstone was taken and put in the sun keep for 1000 years, but the greedy mayor of a town in 1000 A.D. stole it, so they had to go to the middle ages and change his history so he would be kind and giving. The explorer Toma found the rainbow shell, but died in the pursuit, his ghost told the explorers to go to giants claw which was ironically enough the Tyrano Lair from 650,000,000 B.C. the rainbow shell caused more trouble though, Marle's father was put on trial by the emperor who was actually the crooked descendent of Yakra in disguise, the rainbow shell proved the kings innocence. Magus, Ayla, and Frog had to defeat Ozzie once and for all in his new fortress. Cyrus' ghost was put to rest and the Masamune became even stronger. Robot's in the future where killing humans and Magus, Robo, and Ayla stopped their Leader Queen Brain, and a pawn of them, Robo's love Atropos XL. Finally the time came to enter the Black Omen.
Chapter 6: The Black Omen
Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked to the door on the Black Omen in 230,000 B.C. They had to fight the turrets but then entered the door. Inside Queen Zeal stood right in front of them and said, "Fools! Haven't you learned your lesson?! We are immortal! We shall live forever with Lavos, who devours this planet even as he sleeps. Draining this planets power, Lavos will rule the world in a mere 14,000 years. The Black Omen is a path, which leads to Lavos. It is a shrine, which provides us with limitless power. As long as the mighty one reigns, your dreams are hopeless! You should sacrifice yourself to the mighty Lavos! Ha hahahahaha!" Zeal disappeared and a giant monster called a Mega Mutant appeared. Magus cast Dark Matter, Ayla used Triple Kick, Frog used Frog Smash and the Mega Mutant died.
Magus, Ayla, and Frog went through several battles and even reached a room where the decorative panels one the wall attacked. After several more battles they reached a small metal circle on the floor with a shaft of orange light emitting from it, the teleported too them to another room, beyond the room was an elevator just like the one that had been in the Ocean Palace. There where many monster battles on the elevator, but finally it reached it's destination and the group continued on battling monsters until they reached a room with two Nus in it. One Nu sold items, the other said, "Three of you in a place like this? Would you like to leave?" "Nay." Frog said. The three continued on past the break room until they reached another teleported, they entered it.
The teleporter resurface in a large room, they continued on until they ran into another mutant, this one was called a Giga Mutant. Magus was tired and running out of strength so he cast Dark Mist, Ayla used Rock Throw, Frog used leap slash. The mutant attacked Ayla and knocked her down, Magus cast another Dark Mist, Ayla used Rock throw again, and Frog used Frog Smash. The bottom half of the mutant disappeared. Magus cast a third Dark Mist, completely exhausting his power supply, Ayla used Dino Tail, and Frog used Frog Smash. The top half of the mutant disappeared and Magus, Ayla, and Frog went through the door behind it and continued.
More and more battles followed the heroes, they found another teleporter that led to another elevator with several more monster battles. After more running through the maze of a fortress and fighting every monster to come their way, they reached a third mutant. This mutant was called the Terra mutant. Magus used a Mega Elixir and all three where fully restored. Ayla used a Triple Kick, Magus used Dark Matter, and Frog used his Leap Slash. The mutant used a powerful attack that did a lot of damage to the three, Magus used Dark Matter Again, Ayla used Triple Kick again, and Frog used Cure 2 on everyone. The Terra Mutant's top half was destroyed, but strangely enough the bottom half lived. The bottom half knocked Frog across the room, Ayla used Tail Spin, and Magus used Dark Bomb. The bottom half was destroyed and they went through the door behind it and went on.
After more and more battles Magus, Ayla, and Frog reached an empty room and set up a shelter, after resting they went for the door, but a time portal appeared before them and a Lavos spawn came out. This Lavos Spawn was almost fifty times stronger than all three of the Lavos Spawns on Death Peak. But after about four Dark Matter's from Magus, three Triple Kicks from Ayla, and four Leap Slashes and a Frog Squash from Frog, the Lavos Spawn fell. The three continued on for several more battles with monsters.
Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked into a long hallway. Along the sides of the hall where six shafts of light. In each shaft one of the time travelers, Lucca, Crono, Marle, Frog, Robo, and Ayla (Why no Magus, nobody knows) Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked to the end of the hall and found Queen Zeal. "Behold, my pretties! Destiny, in its most brutal form. All the dreams that might have been. All the happiness, the sorrow you might have experienced. Gone Forever!!! For you there will be no tomorrow! The Dark Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken. And here you shall rest forever, unless you can defeat me, and smash the Omen!" Queen Zeal said. Everyone got in battle stances around the queen. "Come, dear friends. Perhaps I can persuade Lavos to share his dreams with you! Did I say dreams? I meant his eternal nightmare!" Queen Zeal laughed. Despite Zeal's threats, she was very weak and only a couple of Dark Matters and a Triple Kick stopped her.
"Argh! My powers don't seem to work here! Wait! I'll simply toss you into the Mammon Machine! You'll be one with the Omen, Lavos... and me!" The ground turned blue and wavy just like when Lavos appeared in the Ocean Palace. The Mammon Machine was a very powerful boss, and Magus, Ayla, and Frog fully depleted their power sources fighting it, but it fell in the end. Magus used a Mega Elixir and everyone was back at full strength.
Suddenly, Magus, Ayla, Frog, and Queen Zeal where on top of the Black Omen. "You cretins... I plan to live with Lavos, and control the universe forever. You will not get in the way!" Queen Zeal barked at the time travelers. "Idiots... Nothing can live forever. Zeal... A pitiful woman, duped by Lavos! I myself, will bring an end to all of this!" Magus said back to his mother. "Prophet! You are doomed. I haven't forgotten what you did at the Ocean Palace. You will never forfeit life." Zeal said angrily, Zeal began to glow and suddenly she turned into a giant mask and two hands. This form of Queen Zeal was very powerful and hard to beat. Magus maxed out his magic taking out both hands and simply began slashing at the face with the Death Scythe he had found in Ozzie's Fort. Ayla Triple kicked at the head until she could no more, and then she began to use Cat Attack, Frog used Leap Slash and Cure2 because Zeal had very powerful attacks. Finally Zeal was defeated and turned back to her normal form.
"How dare you insects come after ME! Oh almighty Lavos, lend me your power! Mwa, ha, ha... At last Lavos awakens! Compared to him you are like germs. But, I... I shall obtain immortality!" Queen Zeal said and then laughed. The Black Omen and Queen Zeal disintegrated and Lavos appeared. Lavos flashed an image of what power he was using. Lavos flashed a picture of a dragon tank and two mutants appeared at his sides. A Dark Matter attack and a Triple Kick took care of that. Lavos then assumed the form of some sort of Gaurdian Robot, Magus used Dark Matter and the two mutants at Lavos side where destroyed. Frog used his Frog Squash and it was weakened to little power, Ayla punched Lavos and it flashed a new image of a creature that Ozzie had told Magus about, it was a purple beast called a Heckran, and only magic could harm it. Magus began to cast Dark Matter, Frog used Water2, and Ayla used her healing powers. Lavos flashed a new picture of the monster Zombor that Ozzie had created. Magus and Frog used Water/Ice2 on the top half and Ayla used Triple Kick on the bottom. After so many hits, Lavos flashed a picture of the creatures Masa and Mune fused together, the same strategy for the Heckran was applied and then Lavos flashed a picture of a giant tree horned lizard creature, "Nizbel!" Ayla said. Magus cast Lightning2, Frog used Leap Slash, and Ayla used Triple Kick, then Lavos would used Lightning2 and the cycle had to be repeated, after several times of this, Lavos flashed a picture of Magus. Magus casted a spell corresponding to the element of what Lavos had cast, Frog attacked with the Masamune, and Ayla healed everyone. Lavos then flashed an image of a little lizard man and a large lizard with razor sharp teeth. "Azala!" was all Ayla said. Dark Matter, Triple Kick, and Frog Squash took care of that. Lavos flashed an image of a creature that Magus had only heard of, the Giga Gaia. After several Dark Matter, Water2, and Triple Kick attacks that was ended. Finally Lavos fought with his own techniques, he used Rain of Destruction, which did great damage, but it was defeated easily. The beak/eye on Lavos shell disappeared and he was an empty shell. "It's over?" Magus asked. "This Lavos' shell! Inside still strong!!" Ayla said. "This be only armor! 'Tis what's inside that must be destroyed!" Frog, Magus, and Ayla entered the shell.
Inside the shell was a thin cave like corridor with an eerie green glow, a small stream poured through it, and to the left was a time gate. "This is creepy. It's worse than Magus' place..." Frog said, but Magus ignored him. "!! Lavos smell... STRONGER!!" Ayla said. "...No turning back now." Magus said. The group walked down the corridor and into a big room, a large humanoid green creature that took up the entire chamber and had nothing below the waist sat in the chamber. "Finally... You have met your match, Lavos!..." Magus said. "Cyrus, this be our finest battle..." Frog said drawing the Masamune from it's sheath. "Ayla not give up!!" Ayla said jumping up and down. The battle started and Lavos opened up two doors on it's chest and laser beams shot out, doing a great deal of damage. Frog used a Mega Elixir. Magus used Dark Matter and Ayla used Triple Kick and the right arm was destroyed, the left arm healed the body, and Ayla used Triple Kick on the left arm on it. Lavos used Obstacle. Frog and Ayla where confused, but Magus' amulet protected him. Lavos' defense went very low, Magus used Dark Matter, Ayla snapped out of confusion and used Triple Kick, and Frog did the same and used Frog Squash. Lavos was destroyed and a creature only two heads taller than Magus, which was humanoid and sort of looked like a chicken stood where the giant body had been. '...... So... Since the dawn of time, it has slept underground, controlling evolution on this world for his own purpose..." Magus said. "It is too much to bear... We have been reared like animals...! Our lives hath been for naught..." Frog said. "Me no run! Ayla no run away! Worse than losing!!" Ayla said jumping up and down. "We were created only to be harvested. All people... ...and all living things..." Magus said. "My life retain'eth it's meaning...! We haveth our own will!" Frog said. The Lavos Core let out a screech and released two bits, it then entered the time stream. Ayla Triple kicked the left bit and it disintegrated, Magus cast Dark Matter, and Frog used Frog Squash. The Lavos core was destroyed but the right bit remained. "The core's a fake, attack the right bit!" Magus said. The right bit turned the defenses off and Ayla used Triple Kick, Magus used Dark Matter, and Frog used Water2. The right bit used Active Life and brought the left bit and Lavos Core back to life. The Lavos core used Crying Heavens/ Hidden Blow. A lightning bolt hit Magus, and it hurt him greatly. Ayla took out the left bit again, Magus cast Dark Matter, and Frog used Cure2 on Magus. The Lavos Core died again, Magus used Dark Matter as the right bit turned off the defense. Ayla used Triple Kick and Frog used Water2. Magus cast seven more Dark Matter's, Ayla used five more triple kicks, Frog used Frog Squash two more times, Water2 three times, and Cure2 eight times, over six Mega Elixirs where used. Finally the right bit died and Lavos was gone. The times flashed before Magus, Frog, and Ayla's eyes. Lavos was dead.
Epilogue: The Moonlight Parade
The next night Frog, Magus, Robo, and Ayla waited at Leene Square where Lucca's Telepods where. Lucca waited with them, "Where are they?" Lucca said looking at her watch. Magus smiled, of course no one saw it because he had his cape up over his mouth like a vampire. Suddenly Crono and Marle walked into the area. "Well everyone, this is it." Lucca said adjusting her glasses. "Each to thine own time." Frog said. "The gate has grown weaker." Robo stated. "We've got to say our goodbye's before the gate closes." Lucca says. "You're all leaving?" Marle asked. Suddenly Ayla's boyfriend Kino walked in. "Crono was strong! Marle too! Ayla have fun!!" Ayla said ecstatically prepared to leave. "You're my distant ancestor. So you'd better have tough kids or I'll be in trouble!" Marle said. "Heh heh! No worry. Ayla VERY strong!" Kino replied. "Right! Hey... what do you mean by that?" Marle asked. "Kino dummy! We go now!" Ayla hit Kino on the head, Magus was very tempted to laugh at that point, but decided not to. Ayla stopped by the time gate and blew everyone a kiss, then she ran in after Kino.
Frog stepped forward and the king with him, "'Tis a feisty crowd! But they are thine kin, and 'tis of consequence. Queen Leene awaits your Majesty, we too shall take our leave" Frog said, the king walked through the gate and Frog was most of the way there, "Mr. Frog..." Marle said. Frog turned around, "...Long farewells ne'er were necessary." Frog said. Marle walked right up next to Frog, "Right! Besides, actions speak louder than words!" Marle said and kissed Frog, Frog jumped in surprise, Lucca began laughing loudly, Magus was tempted to do the same and had to bite his cheeks to avoid a smile. "Yeah. Don't these things usually end with the princess kissing the frog?" Lucca said laughing. Frog walked through the gate and Marle giggled. Magus flew forward to the gate and stopped. "So... you're going to search for Schala?" Marle asked. Magus wanted to turn around and say good-bye to everyone, but something inside him wouldn't let him. Magus turned around and took one last gaze at Lucca and went through the gate. Magus came to the end of time and went into his time portal.
It was several months later and Magus was still trying to find Schala, he had fully regained all of his powers and his magic barrier. He had also gained the power to fly. Magus flew threw the air at a high speed and suddenly stopped, there in the distance, a little sparkle flew across the sky. "Farewell. I will miss you." Magus said and flew on.
The End
Okay, I know that was basically the entire game revised and very little of this story was original work but it opens up for parts two and three, why did I do all that work you ask? Because I felt like doing a lot of work so that this wouldn't be too short. Plus for those who never intend to play Chrono Trigger but would like to know the story have some help. The character patterns were based on the ones that I used, as you can tell I mostly used Magus, Frog, and Ayla. So thank you and Squaresoft please don't sue. Till next time... -MasklessDuckman

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!
This story takes place before the events of Chrono Trigger, about the time that Janus goes to medieval times. It goes through the events to the ending of the game. I have changed none of the lines as I felt like it, I stayed up till three in the morning writing the lines on a post it note. The game ending I used was the millenium fair ending with Chrono, Magus, and the Epoch still around. So... Enjoy!
Chapter 1:The Beginning
Janus ran through the Ocean Palace as fast as his little legs could carry him, his cat Alfador following closely behind. Janus finally reached the bridge over the molten metal and sped across as quickly as possible. Janus pressed a button next to the door and entered the room, there was Janus' mother Levana Zeal, his sister Schala in pain trying to raise Lavos, the three Guru's Belthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior stood watching as the Mammon Machine pulsed and glowed. "Schala!" Janus said and rushed over to his sister, suddenly glowing rifts appeared, pulling Belthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior into separate portals. Janus was shocked to see such a thing, suddenly one appeared in front of him, Janus tried to turn and run, but the portal's pull was too strong. Janus managed to yell, "Schala!" as he was pulled into the portal, portal closed behind Janus, the following events remain unknown.
Janus was thrown from the blue portal and onto the ground, he picked himself up. Janus looked around, he was in a sunny forest, three blue creatures with big heads, and one big fat green one looked at him rather surprised. "Get him!" The fat one said. The little blue creatures ran at Janus and grabbed his arms and legs, clawing at his face and biting him. "Stop it!" Janus said out of fear and anger, lightning bolts rang from the skies and hit all three of the blue things, they seemed to disintegrate. The big fat goblin was amazed, "You can use magic?" he thought aloud. Janus looked at his hands, he had never been able to use magic, of course neither had his mother. But somehow he had used it. The fat green thing grabbed Janus by the waist and began to float out of the forest. Janus kicked and screamed, and the green guy cast a sleeping spell on him.
Janus opened his eyes, he surveyed the small room. His hands where in shackles, he sat on what looked like a bed, but felt like a slab of stone, the room he was in was dirty and filled with old rotten hay. There was a small lantern with dirt-covered glass on it, the room was sickening. "Oh I see that you're awake cutey." a voice said. Janus looked over and saw a woman with pink skin and pink hair, she wore all white with a little red. "Who are you lady?" Janus asked rather angrily. "Lady? I am no lady, I am a man." The woman looking creature said. "You could have fooled me." Janus said dryly. The androgynous creature fumed and said, "Hey! You're the slave here! Shut up! My name is Flea the great magician. Ozzie has sent me to train you." "Why would I want to train under a transvestite like you?" Janus asked. "Argh!! I said shut up! Now you will train, or... I'll give you some of these." Flea said and held up several small blue orbs. "What are those?" Janus asked curiously. "These are freelancer eyeballs. They are an acquired taste, and pure torture to those who hate them." Flea said smiling wickedly. Flea popped one into Janus' mouth and held it shut. The taste was pure torture, it was bitter, sour, and it seemed to burn his tongue all at the same time. Finally the thing dissolved in his mouth, but the taste remained on his tongue. "Now behave cutie, or I'll use those again." Flea said. Janus decided to stop making fun of Flea and shut his mouth. Flea released the shackles on Janus' arms, "Now, day one begins." Flea said smiling wickedly.
Janus was drug out in the hallway, for the first time he realized that he was not wearing his purple robe, instead he wore the clothes of a prisoner or a slave. Janus stared at the ground and a single tear dripped from his cheek. "Schala." he mumbled quietly, he wished he knew enough about magic to kill the transvestite in front of him, but he didn't. Janus was lead into a room full of books, on the table where several scrolls. "Now, this is where we study. After a few minutes of studying, it's into the courtyard for a field test of you're magic abilities, then I turn it over to Slash." Flea said. Janus did not like the sound of that name, it worried him. Janus studied for a few hours before Flea drug him out in the courtyard for field-testing. "Now, focus you're mind on the target and say the spell." Flea said pointing to a dummy. Janus thought hard and focused on the target. "Fire!" Janus said, the dummy went up in flames. "There, now, two more!" Flea said. Janus did two more fire spells, "Four more!" Flea said, and Janus did four more fire spells. "Seven more!" Flea demanded, Janus did about five and collapsed, Flea walked over and proceeded to kick the boy over and over again, "Get up you worthless sack of crap!" Flea said still kicking Janus in the side. Flea reached into a small pot on his side and brought out two of the blue orbs and placed them in Janus' mouth. "Yech!" Janus said and spit as he sat up. "Two more!" Flea said. "I don't have the strength." Janus said. Flea picked Janus up by the hair and glared in his eyes. Flea flashed his dagger like teeth at Janus and prepared to strangle him, "Ahem!" a loud cough was heard, Flea sat Janus down and said, "You got lucky you worthless little good for nothing!" Flea walked off and in his place a tall creature with purple skin appeared, he had no hair, and big round lips, his eyes glowed yellow, and there was a sword in his belt. "I am Slash, I will be doing you're battle training. If you thought Flea was bad, then you haven't seen anything yet. Flea uses those stupid blue orbs, but I believe in good old fashion pain!" Slash said stretching a whip out in front of him, "Now, you will obey me and do as I say or you slash taste this whip." Slash growled. "Y... Yes Lord Slash." Janus said looking at the whip. "Now, take this sword. You're first day of training begins." Slash said. Slash handed Janus a broad sword and held his own katana ready to start. Janus struggled to pick up the weapon and just barely lifted it up. "It's too big for me." Janus said. Crack! Crack! the whip hit Janus on he back twice tearing his shirt. "You will do as I say. I say use that sword." Slash said. Janus was crying from pain. Crack! Crack! Crack! "No crying!" Slash yelled. Janus wiped his tears away and charged as best as he could at Slash. Slash parried the attack and knocked Janus across the floor. "That was pitiful!" Slash yelled. "I told you, this damn sword is too big!" Janus yelled Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! "Don't you dare talk back to me boy!" Slash said angrily. "I... I am sorry Lord Slash." Janus said. "That's better. Now charge again." Slash said. "Yes Lord Slash." Janus said. Janus came up with a plan, Janus did just as he had done a moment ago, but at the last minute spun around to hit Slash in the knee with the blade, Slash was of course fast enough to block this attack, and with one punch knocked Janus across the courtyard.
That night the Slash and Flea locked Janus in his room, they did not put on his shackles and left a basket of moldy bread and rotten meat on the table next to him. Janus laid on bed and grabbed the amulet around his neck that Slash and Flea had somehow missed. "Schala..." Janus sighed. A tear dropped from Janus' face and he softly sobbed himself to sleep.
Chapter 2: The Birth of Magus (Ten Years Later)
Janus dodged an attack from Slash, he was now seventeen and faster, but still he handled the broadsword clumsily. "Lord Slash." Janus said. "I would ask a small question teacher." Janus said. "Go ahead." Slash continued. "May I try another weapon? I feel that I was not built to use swords." Janus pleaded. "Very well, follow me to the armory." Slash said and they went through the halls of the castle and found the armory. Janus examined all of the weapons, he picked up an axe... Too clumsy, Janus tried a mace... too heavy, a flail... not his style, a spear... to limited, a bow... no, finally Janus saw exactly what he was looking for. There in a wooden box sat a scythe, it's black iron blade seemed to glow. "That one." Janus said and pointed at the scythe. "I must first get Ozzie's permission." Slash replied. A few moments later Slash returned with Ozzie. "So, you want to use my ancestor's scythe?" Ozzie asked. "Yes." Janus replied. Ozzie removed the scythe from it's box and handed it to Janus, "Slash, test him." Ozzie said and walked out to the courtyard.
"You may have a shiny new toy." Slash said. "But you are still a poor fighter, and you will lose." Slash laughed. "If I lose, I will take thirty lashes." Janus said. "Oh, getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we?" Slash asked. "No." Janus replied. Slash rushed forward, his sword (The Slasher) ready to cleave through Janus. Janus took the handle of the staff and jabbed Slash in the ribs, he then kicked Slash in the face. Slash hit Janus with the sharp side of his sword, but some sort of magic barrier made him do minimal damage. Janus clocked Slash on the head and walked over to Ozzie, "You will bow down to me as you're king Ozzie." Janus said. Ozzie laughed and cast a magic attack, which strangely did the same as Slash's sword. Ozzie bowed to Janus. "Oh yes Lord Janus!" Ozzie said. "Not Janus... I am no longer Janus Zeal. Call me... Magus." Janus said. "Yes Lord Magus!" Ozzie groveled.
Chapter 3: The Fall of Magus
Magus led the Mystics in battle and declared war upon all creatures. Months later Magus got wind that a knight named Cyrus and his friend Glenn had gotten hold of the legendary sword the Masamune, it was said to be able to destroy even Magus' strong magic shield. Magus awaited the two on Mystic Mountain. He and Ozzie sat there for hours when finally the knight and his scrawny friend reached the summit. "Magus, I shall end you're reign of terror!" Cyrus said. Magus sent a fireball at Cyrus, one so powerful that his armor melted from his body. With Cyrus last breath he said, "Glenn... Run! Save yourself." Glenn looked up. "How about a more suitable form." Ozzie suggested. Magus nodded, he began to chant and a lightning bolt hit Glenn, but it did not injure him, instead Glenn began to glow, he thrashed and fell from the mountain. "What did you turn him into Lord Magus?" Ozzie asked excitedly. "A frog." Magus said. The two returned to the castle.
Three years later Magus thought of a plan to kidnap the queen, the boy that he had turned into a frog was now the queens protector. Magus disguised a monster named Yakra as the chancellor of Gaurdia castle and wiped out a cathedral full of nuns and set up Yakra's base there. Months later Magus heard that Yakra had been defeated and the queen returned safely. Magus growled angrily. Weeks later the Zenan Bridge was rebuilt and Magus sent Ozzie and some mystics to destroy it. Ozzie retreated and his monster Zombor was destroyed. Magus hit the table with his fist, then months later he got wind that the Frog knight had got the Masamune. Magus then heard from his sentries that the frog knight, a boy with red spiky hair, and a girl with blonde hair and a crossbow where coming, all of them knowing how to use magic. Magus told Ozzie, Slash, and Flea to protect the castle while he "created" a beast called Lavos. Magus was of course lying, he really intended to summon Lavos and destroy him in retribution for his sister.
Magus began to say the spell that would summon Lavos when footsteps where heard behind him. Magus turned around and saw the frog knight, the boy, and the girl. Magus entered battle with them and kept casting random spells to avoid his magic barrier being infiltrated, but every attack from the Masamune was strong and hurt him greatly until his magic barrier was broken. Magus mostly just cast Magic Wall, and his ultimate spell Dark Matter. But soon Lavos rose and the three learned that Magus was not the one who created Lavos. A time portal sucked them in, and one did the same to Magus.
Magus looked around, it was Zeal Palace. Magus soon learned that it was before the events that threw him back through time. Magus conjured up a hooded cape and disguised himself as a prophet of Queen Zeal. But soon enough trouble came, it was the boy again, with the frog, and another girl with purple hair and a helmet. Dalton managed to defeat them with his golem and put them in the Mammon Machine, Schala freed them, but Magus knew that he didn't need those fools screwing up his plans. Magus had Schala send them through the time gate in which they came and sealed it behind them.
Later on Schala disappeared to the lower world, Dalton returned with her and waited in the throne room while Magus, Schala, and Queen Zeal continued to the Ocean Palace. Schala began to chant as her mother told her to. Schala was hit by a wave of pain and Magus was tempted to help her, but knew that he had to pick his time just right. The boy named Crono (Janus had found this out during the battle with them), followed by a strange yellow armored creature, and the frog knight rushed in. Crono placed a red knife in the Mammon Machine but it wasn't enough. The creatures Masa and Mune fused together to form the Masamune. The Masamune was however, too late as Lavos was summoned. Crono, the yellow creature, and the frog knight fought against Lavos but where defeat. Magus rushed in and revealed himself. "Oh a false prophet. No matter, I will have to kill you!" Queen Zeal said. Magus rushed forward and slashed at Lavos' head/beak/eye whatever. But Lavos was unfazed and knocked Magus back. Crono stood up and walked over to Lavos, he seemed to float in the air, a stream of energy shot from the eye/mouth and Crono disintegrated literally. Lavos was subdued and Schala sent the yellow thing, Magus, and the frog knight away via a teleportation spell.
Magus awoke below an ocean cliff, somehow the ocean palace had destroyed everything except the small island Magus was on, and the few survivors of the destruction lived in the small village south of him. Suddenly Magus heard footsteps above him, he teleported up there. "So it's you..." Magus said. The frog knight, the blonde girl with the bow, and a new woman with blonde hair dressed only in animal skins prepared for battle. "Magus!" Frog hissed at the warlock. "Behold. Everything's at the bottom of the sea. Gone is the magical kingdom of Zeal, and all the dreams and ambitions of it's people." Magus said and turned to face the time travelers. "I once lived there... But I was another person then" Magus said and conjured up a magic image of the day he was sucked into the time gate.
"Hmm...! A dimensional warp!" Gaspar said. "The power is beyond human control!" Belthasar said, Queen Zeal ignored both gurus as Schala chanted and Queen Zeal only stared straight ahead. "No... We'll be dragged into the warp!" Melchior said shocked. Suddenly Janus ran in, "Schala!" he said. 'No Janus!! Stay Away!" Schala replied to Janus. "B, but!? Janus started but suddenly Lavos appeared. "It's, It's a...!!" Melchior spit out before a time gate pulled in. "A Time Gate!?" Gaspar said and was sucked into another time gate. "No!!" Belthasar said and he too was sucked into another time gate. "S, Schalaaa!!" Janus screamed, but it was too late. He was sucked into a time gate. Magus' image dissipated.
"So! Thou art... ... Thou art that filthy Urchin!" Frog said rather annoyed. Magus turned back towards the ocean. "... Ever since Lavos' time portal stranded me in the middle ages... I have waited to even the score. You interrupted me just when I had summoned Lavos to my castle. How ironic that, having been into yet another portal, I would end up in this age. Being from the future, my knowledge of the past enabled me to convince the queen that I was a mighty Oracle. But no history book could gave prepared me for what happened here. Unimaginable is the power of Lavos, anyone who dares to oppose... It... Meet's certain doom. At this rate, you too, will meet a hideous fate. Just like that fool, Crono!" Magus said and faced the time travelers once again. The frog knight's face got rather contorted, teetering between anger and sorrow, finally he said, "...!? You dare to insult him?!" "He's history! Play with fire and you get burned." Magus said calmly. "Magus!! Hold thy tongue!!" the frog knight said pulling the masamune from it's sheath. "You wish to fight me?" Magus asked. The frog knight thought for a second and sheathed the Masamune. "Nay. Vanquishing thee will neither return Crono or Cyrus." Frog said. Magus was silent and turned back to face the ocean. The frog knight and the two women began to leave, "Wait." Magus said and walked down to them, the three time travelers turned around to face the warlock. "I'll come with you." Magus said. "Treachery!!" the frog knight said, but Magus simply ignored the knight. "You know, there might be a way to bring him back." Magus said. "Nonsense...!?" The frog knight replied. "Gaspar, the Guru of Time, knows how to restore lost or misplaced time streams..." Magus said. The frog knight waved him, on, the blond girl with the bow disappeared.
The group helped to equip Magus, the frog knight told everyone's name, the frog knight went on by the name Frog, the blond woman in animal skins was Ayla, the blond girl with the bow was Marle, the purple haired girl with the helmet was Lucca, the yellow creature was something called a robot named Robo, and the time machine they flew in was called the Epoch. Magus, Frog, and Ayla left the sales Nu and climbed aboard the Epoch.
Frog was just about to engage the time machine when a great rumbling could be heard. "That's...!" Magus said. The ocean palace rose from the sea and just seemed to hover in the air. "The Ocean Palace hath risen?" Frog asked no one in particular. "Surely it doth not beckon us!" Frog thought out loud. "Me hate! Ayla not like boat!!" Ayla said jumping up in down in her seat. "The Undersea Palace? This is impossible...!" Magus said. Frog engaged the time machine and the Epoch went to the end of time.
Chapter 4: Come Back Crono
The epoch stopped in a dark misty place that Frog told Magus was the end of time. Magus walked across a sort of bridge and the room was small, two buckets, each with a glowing orb on it, two doors, one on the east wall, the other on the north, there was a light post in the center of the room, an old man slept under it as Marle, Lucca, and Robo just sat around. Frog approached the old man and pocked him with his index finger, the man awoke with a start and said, "Hey, where's that healthy kid with the radical haircut?" Frog told the entire story, "... This is terrible news... I have nothing to give you but this song. It's called... Memories of Crono." The old man pulled a small music box from his pocket and wound it, it began to play a sad melody. "I wish I could lend a hand..." the old man said.
"Only the guru of time can help us now..." Magus said. "Hey, where have you been?" the old man asked. Magus told his entire story thus far. "So that's your story... And just look at you now... You've become quite formidable!" The old man said. "Heh?..." Magus said. "The guru of time eh? Heard of him of course, but what do you want with him?" the old man said. "We've heard he might be the one to bring our Crono back..." Frog said. "To bring back lost loved ones... It's what everyone wants... Crono must be proud to have friends like you..." The man said. Magus, Frog, and Ayla turned and began to walk towards the Epoch. "Hey." The man said and the three turned around and walked back to him. "Here, take this with you." The old man said and presented a golden egg encrusted with jewels. "Egg! Ayla hungry, want eat!" Ayla said jumping up and down. "Let us call that the Chrono Trigger. It is pure potential. By unleashing a specific course of events, it ca have a powerful effect on time. Ask the one who made the Epoch, your Wings of Time, how to hatch it... Like any egg, it represents a possibility... It may or may not... hatch. But the Chrono Trigger gives you the potential to get your friend back... The egg will have one effect equal to the effort you put into your search. No more, and no less, Don't forget that. As long as you keep Crono in your heart, the day you are dreaming of shall arrive..." The old man said. "I get it... It's you isn't it...?" Magus asked. "Wh... What? so... Thee art Gaspar, The Guru of Time!" Frog said. "Um... Well... ... I believe that's what they used to call me... years ago..." The old man replied. Magus, Frog, and Ayla went to 2300 A.D. to Keeper's Dome to see the Nu with Belthasar's memories.
Frog poked at the sleeping robot that resembled a Nu, the Nu awoke with a start and said, "On Death Peak you will find the power to restore life. But to activate this power the deceased must be important to the space-time continuum. And you MUST have a clone identical to that person. Only then, can a Chrono Trigger work it's magic... Need a clone? The magician, Norstein Bekkler could whip one up in the wink of an eye. Bekkler loves festivals, find a festival, and there, too, you shall find Bekkler!" The Nu fell back asleep. Magus, Frog, and Ayla left Keeper's Dome and went to the Millennial Fair in 1000 A.D.
Magus, Frog, and Ayla played the games and gathered up forty silver points. The three entered the "Tent of Horrors" and talked to Bekkler. "Welcome to Norstein Bekkler's lab. The spine tingling show is about to start! So! You want a Crono clone? Normally I'd never do this, but today I'll make an exception. Challenge me, and I'll give you a clone. The longer you stay in the game, the lower my price will be." Bekkler said. The rules where simple, Frog had to mimic the exact movements of the clone, one mistake and he lost. The game started and the clone was brought out, the clone either laughed, acted surprised, raised it's left arm, or raised it's right arm. The clone randomly did these four movements at an ever-quickening pace until the game was over and they got the clone for free. "The clone will be at Crono's house."
The group walked in Crono's house, a cat walked up to Magus and rubbed against his leg. The three ran upstairs, a green haired woman was making the bed, probably Crono's mother. Frog walked over to the woman, "Oh, hello! Is Crono okay?" Crono's mother asked. "Uh... aye! He be fine in health!" Frog lied. "I hope he's behaving. Tell him to be good, all right?" Crono's mother said. "... Madam..." Frog asked. "Yes, dear?" Crono's mother asked not turning around. Frog was about to talk about Crono's death put Ayla placed her hand over his large mouth and shook her head. "By thy leave, mayhap we taketh this doll?" Frog asked. "Go right ahead dear." Crono's mother replied. The group began to walk out the door, "Stay out of trouble, now!" Crono's mother said as they walked down the stairs. Magus thought how nice it would have been to have a sweet caring mother like her. The three carried the clone out to the Epoch and returned to Keeper's Dome in 2300 A.D.
"Enough. The time has come for you to attempt Death Peak. It's the only chance you have of reviving your friend. The last program I've implanted in this creature's memory banks will help you up the mountain. Stand back." The Nu said. The Nu went into the room behind him, out of the door, one at a time, came three blue Poyozo dolls. "Executing Program!" The first doll said and disappeared. "Executing Program!" The second doll said and disappeared. "Executing Program!" The third doll said and disappeared. The Nu came back out, "The three entities you saw will help you climb Death Peak. This ends my message. Now I must ask you for a favor. This creature has executed it's program. Please let him sleep. The switch is on it's stomach." The Nu said. Frog pushed the button on it's stomach and the creature shut down.
Death Peak was a long journey, there where three Lavos spawns on the mountain that had to be defeated. But finally the summit was reached. "So, this is the summit of Death's Peak!" Frog said presenting the time egg. "We ask for your strength... Thee who fear'eth the night and stand against the darkness." Frog said. "Crono!" Ayla said. Suddenly Marle's pendant that Ayla wore around her neck began to glow. The time egg reacted with the pendent and the time egg flew up into the air, it glowed brightly and shattered. "It, it is shattered!! 'Tis folly... To hath traveled so far." Frog said staring down at the ground. "No sadness! Ayla lonely too! Sad Crono not come back." Ayla said placing a hand on Frog's shoulder. "Crono! Giveth me an answer!" Frog said. Suddenly the sun that was clearly visible on top of the mountain eclipsed. Suddenly Frog, Ayla, and Magus where standing at the exact moment Crono died, they where in the room in the ocean palace, time was frozen. "Like stone statues. 'Tis eerie..." Frog said touching the frozen version of himself. "A time freeze... I never thought it possible." Magus said looking around. "Only us move?" Ayla asked. "We'll just exchange the clone for Crono." Frog said walking towards the still version of Crono. Frog pulled the frozen Crono down and placed the clone in his place. "'Tis and eerie place. Let us withdraw quickly." Frog said holding the frozen Crono. "Hurry! We take Crono!' Ayla said and hoisted the boy over her muscular shoulders. "Save the hellos for later! We've got work to do." Magus said. Suddenly they where back on Death's Peak, Crono was leaning against a tree. "'Tis good of you to return, Crono." Frog said. "Crono back!! Crono okay?" Ayla asked, Crono nodded. "Thou art a lucky lad. Thy friends be loyal and true!" Frog said. Suddenly they where all at the end of time.
Chapter 5: Crono's Return
Magus, Frog, Crono, and Ayla approached Gaspar. "So! Looks like you were successful! No, don't thank me. I didn't do a thing. I just gave you a place to begin... If you really want to thank me, make me a member of your team! By the way, the Wings of Time has come looking for you. It seems to have a heart and mind of it's own... You wish to fight Lavos, correct? Many paths lay open to you. You may use that bucket. Or fly the Wings of Time to the "Day of Lavos"... Or there's the Black Omen, which floats in the sky above your world. Lavos is somehow connected with it. It's up to you to decide when and where to fight Lavos. By now you must realize you are the only ones who stand a chance against him... However you will not be alone. I have had vague glimpses of events, people and places that will empower you... In the middle ages, a woman's sheer determination brings a forest back to life... a fugitive in the middle ages, Ozzie, maintains an evil hideout... There's a task to be done in the future, where machinery originated. And there's a very special stone that can shine it's light on each generation from the distant past to the far future... There's the ghost of a lofty knight, slain by Magus in the middle ages, who haunts the present... There's an object in the middle ages that sparkles like a rainbow... One of you is close to someone who needs help... find that person... fast. Just as you touch the lives of every life form you met, so, too will their energy strengthen you. Fail to live up to your potential, and you will never win... I am sorry that I must simply witness the coming spectacle from my vantage point here..." Gaspar said. (Long wasn't it? You weren't the one who had to copy this all from the game at three in the morning so you could put it in the story, so shut your hole!)
Magus, Frog, and Ayla, as well as Robo and Marle at certain points did several quests. The woman Fiona's forest was planted opening up a shrine and a large forest in 1000 A.D. courtesy of Robo. The moonstone was taken and put in the sun keep for 1000 years, but the greedy mayor of a town in 1000 A.D. stole it, so they had to go to the middle ages and change his history so he would be kind and giving. The explorer Toma found the rainbow shell, but died in the pursuit, his ghost told the explorers to go to giants claw which was ironically enough the Tyrano Lair from 650,000,000 B.C. the rainbow shell caused more trouble though, Marle's father was put on trial by the emperor who was actually the crooked descendent of Yakra in disguise, the rainbow shell proved the kings innocence. Magus, Ayla, and Frog had to defeat Ozzie once and for all in his new fortress. Cyrus' ghost was put to rest and the Masamune became even stronger. Robot's in the future where killing humans and Magus, Robo, and Ayla stopped their Leader Queen Brain, and a pawn of them, Robo's love Atropos XL. Finally the time came to enter the Black Omen.
Chapter 6: The Black Omen
Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked to the door on the Black Omen in 230,000 B.C. They had to fight the turrets but then entered the door. Inside Queen Zeal stood right in front of them and said, "Fools! Haven't you learned your lesson?! We are immortal! We shall live forever with Lavos, who devours this planet even as he sleeps. Draining this planets power, Lavos will rule the world in a mere 14,000 years. The Black Omen is a path, which leads to Lavos. It is a shrine, which provides us with limitless power. As long as the mighty one reigns, your dreams are hopeless! You should sacrifice yourself to the mighty Lavos! Ha hahahahaha!" Zeal disappeared and a giant monster called a Mega Mutant appeared. Magus cast Dark Matter, Ayla used Triple Kick, Frog used Frog Smash and the Mega Mutant died.
Magus, Ayla, and Frog went through several battles and even reached a room where the decorative panels one the wall attacked. After several more battles they reached a small metal circle on the floor with a shaft of orange light emitting from it, the teleported too them to another room, beyond the room was an elevator just like the one that had been in the Ocean Palace. There where many monster battles on the elevator, but finally it reached it's destination and the group continued on battling monsters until they reached a room with two Nus in it. One Nu sold items, the other said, "Three of you in a place like this? Would you like to leave?" "Nay." Frog said. The three continued on past the break room until they reached another teleported, they entered it.
The teleporter resurface in a large room, they continued on until they ran into another mutant, this one was called a Giga Mutant. Magus was tired and running out of strength so he cast Dark Mist, Ayla used Rock Throw, Frog used leap slash. The mutant attacked Ayla and knocked her down, Magus cast another Dark Mist, Ayla used Rock throw again, and Frog used Frog Smash. The bottom half of the mutant disappeared. Magus cast a third Dark Mist, completely exhausting his power supply, Ayla used Dino Tail, and Frog used Frog Smash. The top half of the mutant disappeared and Magus, Ayla, and Frog went through the door behind it and continued.
More and more battles followed the heroes, they found another teleporter that led to another elevator with several more monster battles. After more running through the maze of a fortress and fighting every monster to come their way, they reached a third mutant. This mutant was called the Terra mutant. Magus used a Mega Elixir and all three where fully restored. Ayla used a Triple Kick, Magus used Dark Matter, and Frog used his Leap Slash. The mutant used a powerful attack that did a lot of damage to the three, Magus used Dark Matter Again, Ayla used Triple Kick again, and Frog used Cure 2 on everyone. The Terra Mutant's top half was destroyed, but strangely enough the bottom half lived. The bottom half knocked Frog across the room, Ayla used Tail Spin, and Magus used Dark Bomb. The bottom half was destroyed and they went through the door behind it and went on.
After more and more battles Magus, Ayla, and Frog reached an empty room and set up a shelter, after resting they went for the door, but a time portal appeared before them and a Lavos spawn came out. This Lavos Spawn was almost fifty times stronger than all three of the Lavos Spawns on Death Peak. But after about four Dark Matter's from Magus, three Triple Kicks from Ayla, and four Leap Slashes and a Frog Squash from Frog, the Lavos Spawn fell. The three continued on for several more battles with monsters.
Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked into a long hallway. Along the sides of the hall where six shafts of light. In each shaft one of the time travelers, Lucca, Crono, Marle, Frog, Robo, and Ayla (Why no Magus, nobody knows) Magus, Frog, and Ayla walked to the end of the hall and found Queen Zeal. "Behold, my pretties! Destiny, in its most brutal form. All the dreams that might have been. All the happiness, the sorrow you might have experienced. Gone Forever!!! For you there will be no tomorrow! The Dark Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken. And here you shall rest forever, unless you can defeat me, and smash the Omen!" Queen Zeal said. Everyone got in battle stances around the queen. "Come, dear friends. Perhaps I can persuade Lavos to share his dreams with you! Did I say dreams? I meant his eternal nightmare!" Queen Zeal laughed. Despite Zeal's threats, she was very weak and only a couple of Dark Matters and a Triple Kick stopped her.
"Argh! My powers don't seem to work here! Wait! I'll simply toss you into the Mammon Machine! You'll be one with the Omen, Lavos... and me!" The ground turned blue and wavy just like when Lavos appeared in the Ocean Palace. The Mammon Machine was a very powerful boss, and Magus, Ayla, and Frog fully depleted their power sources fighting it, but it fell in the end. Magus used a Mega Elixir and everyone was back at full strength.
Suddenly, Magus, Ayla, Frog, and Queen Zeal where on top of the Black Omen. "You cretins... I plan to live with Lavos, and control the universe forever. You will not get in the way!" Queen Zeal barked at the time travelers. "Idiots... Nothing can live forever. Zeal... A pitiful woman, duped by Lavos! I myself, will bring an end to all of this!" Magus said back to his mother. "Prophet! You are doomed. I haven't forgotten what you did at the Ocean Palace. You will never forfeit life." Zeal said angrily, Zeal began to glow and suddenly she turned into a giant mask and two hands. This form of Queen Zeal was very powerful and hard to beat. Magus maxed out his magic taking out both hands and simply began slashing at the face with the Death Scythe he had found in Ozzie's Fort. Ayla Triple kicked at the head until she could no more, and then she began to use Cat Attack, Frog used Leap Slash and Cure2 because Zeal had very powerful attacks. Finally Zeal was defeated and turned back to her normal form.
"How dare you insects come after ME! Oh almighty Lavos, lend me your power! Mwa, ha, ha... At last Lavos awakens! Compared to him you are like germs. But, I... I shall obtain immortality!" Queen Zeal said and then laughed. The Black Omen and Queen Zeal disintegrated and Lavos appeared. Lavos flashed an image of what power he was using. Lavos flashed a picture of a dragon tank and two mutants appeared at his sides. A Dark Matter attack and a Triple Kick took care of that. Lavos then assumed the form of some sort of Gaurdian Robot, Magus used Dark Matter and the two mutants at Lavos side where destroyed. Frog used his Frog Squash and it was weakened to little power, Ayla punched Lavos and it flashed a new image of a creature that Ozzie had told Magus about, it was a purple beast called a Heckran, and only magic could harm it. Magus began to cast Dark Matter, Frog used Water2, and Ayla used her healing powers. Lavos flashed a new picture of the monster Zombor that Ozzie had created. Magus and Frog used Water/Ice2 on the top half and Ayla used Triple Kick on the bottom. After so many hits, Lavos flashed a picture of the creatures Masa and Mune fused together, the same strategy for the Heckran was applied and then Lavos flashed a picture of a giant tree horned lizard creature, "Nizbel!" Ayla said. Magus cast Lightning2, Frog used Leap Slash, and Ayla used Triple Kick, then Lavos would used Lightning2 and the cycle had to be repeated, after several times of this, Lavos flashed a picture of Magus. Magus casted a spell corresponding to the element of what Lavos had cast, Frog attacked with the Masamune, and Ayla healed everyone. Lavos then flashed an image of a little lizard man and a large lizard with razor sharp teeth. "Azala!" was all Ayla said. Dark Matter, Triple Kick, and Frog Squash took care of that. Lavos flashed an image of a creature that Magus had only heard of, the Giga Gaia. After several Dark Matter, Water2, and Triple Kick attacks that was ended. Finally Lavos fought with his own techniques, he used Rain of Destruction, which did great damage, but it was defeated easily. The beak/eye on Lavos shell disappeared and he was an empty shell. "It's over?" Magus asked. "This Lavos' shell! Inside still strong!!" Ayla said. "This be only armor! 'Tis what's inside that must be destroyed!" Frog, Magus, and Ayla entered the shell.
Inside the shell was a thin cave like corridor with an eerie green glow, a small stream poured through it, and to the left was a time gate. "This is creepy. It's worse than Magus' place..." Frog said, but Magus ignored him. "!! Lavos smell... STRONGER!!" Ayla said. "...No turning back now." Magus said. The group walked down the corridor and into a big room, a large humanoid green creature that took up the entire chamber and had nothing below the waist sat in the chamber. "Finally... You have met your match, Lavos!..." Magus said. "Cyrus, this be our finest battle..." Frog said drawing the Masamune from it's sheath. "Ayla not give up!!" Ayla said jumping up and down. The battle started and Lavos opened up two doors on it's chest and laser beams shot out, doing a great deal of damage. Frog used a Mega Elixir. Magus used Dark Matter and Ayla used Triple Kick and the right arm was destroyed, the left arm healed the body, and Ayla used Triple Kick on the left arm on it. Lavos used Obstacle. Frog and Ayla where confused, but Magus' amulet protected him. Lavos' defense went very low, Magus used Dark Matter, Ayla snapped out of confusion and used Triple Kick, and Frog did the same and used Frog Squash. Lavos was destroyed and a creature only two heads taller than Magus, which was humanoid and sort of looked like a chicken stood where the giant body had been. '...... So... Since the dawn of time, it has slept underground, controlling evolution on this world for his own purpose..." Magus said. "It is too much to bear... We have been reared like animals...! Our lives hath been for naught..." Frog said. "Me no run! Ayla no run away! Worse than losing!!" Ayla said jumping up and down. "We were created only to be harvested. All people... ...and all living things..." Magus said. "My life retain'eth it's meaning...! We haveth our own will!" Frog said. The Lavos Core let out a screech and released two bits, it then entered the time stream. Ayla Triple kicked the left bit and it disintegrated, Magus cast Dark Matter, and Frog used Frog Squash. The Lavos core was destroyed but the right bit remained. "The core's a fake, attack the right bit!" Magus said. The right bit turned the defenses off and Ayla used Triple Kick, Magus used Dark Matter, and Frog used Water2. The right bit used Active Life and brought the left bit and Lavos Core back to life. The Lavos core used Crying Heavens/ Hidden Blow. A lightning bolt hit Magus, and it hurt him greatly. Ayla took out the left bit again, Magus cast Dark Matter, and Frog used Cure2 on Magus. The Lavos Core died again, Magus used Dark Matter as the right bit turned off the defense. Ayla used Triple Kick and Frog used Water2. Magus cast seven more Dark Matter's, Ayla used five more triple kicks, Frog used Frog Squash two more times, Water2 three times, and Cure2 eight times, over six Mega Elixirs where used. Finally the right bit died and Lavos was gone. The times flashed before Magus, Frog, and Ayla's eyes. Lavos was dead.
Epilogue: The Moonlight Parade
The next night Frog, Magus, Robo, and Ayla waited at Leene Square where Lucca's Telepods where. Lucca waited with them, "Where are they?" Lucca said looking at her watch. Magus smiled, of course no one saw it because he had his cape up over his mouth like a vampire. Suddenly Crono and Marle walked into the area. "Well everyone, this is it." Lucca said adjusting her glasses. "Each to thine own time." Frog said. "The gate has grown weaker." Robo stated. "We've got to say our goodbye's before the gate closes." Lucca says. "You're all leaving?" Marle asked. Suddenly Ayla's boyfriend Kino walked in. "Crono was strong! Marle too! Ayla have fun!!" Ayla said ecstatically prepared to leave. "You're my distant ancestor. So you'd better have tough kids or I'll be in trouble!" Marle said. "Heh heh! No worry. Ayla VERY strong!" Kino replied. "Right! Hey... what do you mean by that?" Marle asked. "Kino dummy! We go now!" Ayla hit Kino on the head, Magus was very tempted to laugh at that point, but decided not to. Ayla stopped by the time gate and blew everyone a kiss, then she ran in after Kino.
Frog stepped forward and the king with him, "'Tis a feisty crowd! But they are thine kin, and 'tis of consequence. Queen Leene awaits your Majesty, we too shall take our leave" Frog said, the king walked through the gate and Frog was most of the way there, "Mr. Frog..." Marle said. Frog turned around, "...Long farewells ne'er were necessary." Frog said. Marle walked right up next to Frog, "Right! Besides, actions speak louder than words!" Marle said and kissed Frog, Frog jumped in surprise, Lucca began laughing loudly, Magus was tempted to do the same and had to bite his cheeks to avoid a smile. "Yeah. Don't these things usually end with the princess kissing the frog?" Lucca said laughing. Frog walked through the gate and Marle giggled. Magus flew forward to the gate and stopped. "So... you're going to search for Schala?" Marle asked. Magus wanted to turn around and say good-bye to everyone, but something inside him wouldn't let him. Magus turned around and took one last gaze at Lucca and went through the gate. Magus came to the end of time and went into his time portal.
It was several months later and Magus was still trying to find Schala, he had fully regained all of his powers and his magic barrier. He had also gained the power to fly. Magus flew threw the air at a high speed and suddenly stopped, there in the distance, a little sparkle flew across the sky. "Farewell. I will miss you." Magus said and flew on.
The End
Okay, I know that was basically the entire game revised and very little of this story was original work but it opens up for parts two and three, why did I do all that work you ask? Because I felt like doing a lot of work so that this wouldn't be too short. Plus for those who never intend to play Chrono Trigger but would like to know the story have some help. The character patterns were based on the ones that I used, as you can tell I mostly used Magus, Frog, and Ayla. So thank you and Squaresoft please don't sue. Till next time... -MasklessDuckman
