Disclamer: See part six.

The Shifters, Part 7, Conclusion

Crono, Ayla, and Robo were in Glenn's home, waiting for the others here.

"They take long time," Ayla said frowning, "Ayla no like wait."

"Didn't you expect them to take a long time?" Robo asked.

"Of course, but Ayla still no like wait."

Robo heard something outside. "They might be here."

"Good. Ayla happy now."

A few seconds later, Glenn come in, followed by Marle and Lucca.

Ayla frowned, "Where Swau?"

"He'll come," Lucca said, "Now let's tell King Guardia and Queen Leene they no longer have to worry about the Shifters."

"Shouldn't Swau be with us when we tell them?" Marle said, "He helped a lot."

Crono nodded.

They waited for him, and he arrived shortly with abook.

"What's that?" Lucca asked.

"An English-Shiftaz dictionary," he said as he handed it to Marle, then he spoke to her, "You seemed interested in our language Shiftaz."

"Cool, thank you" she said as she looked through the book. "What are the pages made of, they don't feel like paper."

"Paper? We make it out of a metal called, Reww. I don't think humans discovered the metal yet. It's very deep under the earth."

"Wow," Lucca said as she went to look at the book. "This metal is awesome. After looking at it for a bit too long, she remembered more important matters. "Now we tell King Guardia and Queen Leene the war is no longer a concern."

Crono, Marle, Glenn, Lucca, Robo, Ayla, and Swau explained everything to the King Guardia and Queen Leene.

"I am glad we no longer have to worry," King Guardia said.

"A war," Queen Leene added, "Was the last thing we need." She turned to Swau, "What will the Shifters do now?"

"I don't know how many want to see how it is up above the earth. But I think a few might like what they see and might want to stay."

"They will be welcomed."

Swau gave a nodd of respect, "Thank you."

The team said their good-bye to the king and queen, and left the castle. They headed over to the Epoch, and stood by it for a while before anyone spoke.

"This goodbye?" Ayla said already knowing the answer.

"Yes," Lucca said, "But there is no reason not to see each again."

"Good," Marle said, "That's a very good idea."

Lucca smiled, "I thought so. Lucca the Great always thinks of good ideas."

"One of you will have to take Ayla and me home, and then pick up the others," Robo said.

Crono raised his hand and got into the driver's seat of the Epoch.

"Goodbye everyone!" Ayla said, "Ayla look forward when see you next time." She got into the Epoch.

"Me too," Robo said, "Visit us often and soon. Goodbye."

"Goodbye!" Marle, Glenn, Lucca, and Swau called.

The Epoch lifted up, then jerked forward and disappeared.

"Thank you," Swau said, "For helping to stop Jubf."

"Thank you for helping us stop him," Glenn said.

"And for the book," Marle added.

Lucca laughed then spoke, "Well, goodbye for now. We'll see each other again soon."

"Swau, where should we find you?" Marle asked.

"Well, it sounds strange but I liked the Denadora Mountains. If I move to live on top of the earth I think I'll live there."

The Epoch appeared above them, and then landed. Marle and Lucca climbed in. Everyone either said goodbye or waved or both.

Then the Epoch again lifted and disappeared again

Now in 1000 A.D. Marle climbed out, "I confused about something."

"I sure I can help," Lucca replied.

"Where are the Shifters now? Don't you think some would live here now?"

"I'm sure some do live here. But it's normal now so you don't hear about it."

"Maybe, but I think we would hear about them."

Lucca shrugged her shoulders, "Doesn't matter. I'm going home." She ran off.

"But Lucca-" Marle sighed and turned to Crono, "I was going to invite you both to eat at my home but she ran off. Would you want to?"

Crono nodded and to the castle they went.
