Chrono Cross ~ Waves of Time
Part 5
Lina stared at Serge and Schala with worry. She had a bad feeling like this was going to happen. She couldn't allow them to know what she was and what she couldn't go through. For she is actually their true enemy if they were to know what she really was. They would surely want to cast her away, perhaps ditch her behind, or cast her away into the changing sea. She was responsible for the absurdity behind it, the distance and the change formation of the land. How can she get herself out of this mess? Perhaps she would tell them to go on without her and she'll wait for them in the boat. An excuse could be that someone needs to watch over the boat or else they wouldn't be able to come back. Lina replaced her expression of anxiety and fury with a bright smile, and then she told them the excuses she had in her mind. Trying to avoid Schala's eyes at the same time. Schala must've been trying to read Lina's true identity during the whole duration after her little outburst.
Serge had simply thought that she was probably feeling sick or something, and maybe having her go out on an adventure would be too dangerous and make her feel worse. Serge would agree to that idea, but still was curious about her sudden outburst. If she was scared to go, why didn't she just say so. Serge wouldn't think anything bad about that. Then again, Serge had second thoughts of her staying here by herself. What if danger was to come to her, and she would be all by herself to take on anything. Serge would feel better knowing that Lina was safe, and he knew that she would be safe with him. Before Serge said anything about it, Schala spoke out.
"You're coming with us Lina. We cannot leave you behind, or else we won't be seeing you ever again unless we meet again by luck. We won't be coming back by this boat anyways. So you'll be watching over it for nothing. What's wrong? You don't need to be frightened of the dangers that lie within the changing of Time, Serge and I are here to take care of anything. So I see no problem. Now let's go."
Serge was glad Schala said this before he did. It was better hearing a clear response from her, rather than a jumbled up and awkward supporting from him. So hopefully it was decided, but then Serge could still see that Lina was uneasy about this. To him, it looked as if Lina wanted to just fade away. Did she want to fade away from them and the Time that they were turning back? Serge was starting to feel guility now...Maybe they shouldn't have taken such an innocent and beautiful girl like her. He was almost thinking of turning back, and taking her to the destination she needed to go to. Without any words spoken for a few moments, Lina was thinking hard and deep of things to say to the actions that needed to be taken. Then she finally spoke.
"If..If...I was to go with you two to the past, I might not be with you, and that scares me, I can be lost in time, or sliced and my parts can be separated and scattered throughtout time. Isn't it a huge risk to travel back in time? I know you two are special beings, and perhaps you're used to traveling through time...but as for myself..."
Schala now felt like giving up on Lina, her plans would fail if Lina didn't come, but maybe this was Fate, and Fate couldn't be fought, or else more things than just plans can be messed around with.
"Fine! You don't have to come with us if you really don't want to.You're on your own though, and you'll have to take the boat to wherever you are suppose to go to. It was nice knowing you Lina, and good luck with your future, we're heading to the past to save two people who are close to us. Let's go Serge."
Lina was surprised and apalled after hearing this from Schala. How could she say something like that and let Lina go out on her own. Lina didn't even know where she was and how to head back to the location she had to be at. She was looking towards Serge for some help. Hopefully he would do or say something to change their plans and take another route to save those that needed to be rescued. Serge was just as speechless as Lina. He didn't know what to say, but he didn't want Lina to just go away. Finally Serge managed to speak out something on his opinion of what should be done.
"Schala...we can't just let Lina go, if she doesn't want to travel through time, I'm sure there's some other ways to save Kid and Janus. I don't want to leave Lina behind, no matter what, she's just as important to us now, so letting her go is like we are releasing a part of our own selves. So let's find another way around this...please?"
Schala simply nodded with a sigh. Serge already had his mind set, but who would be more important to him in the end? Lina or Kid? He couldn't have them both, because surely, she could tell that Serge was falling in love with Lina. Maybe she would have to force him away from her, she wasn't going to be any help being with them in the end. In fact, it may have been better if she explained to Serge why they had to travel back in time. This would convince him to continue like this, and if Lina can't accept and come with them, then there would be no choice.
"I think it is now time for me to explain to you why we must take all these following actions to find my brother and Janus. Listen to me Serge, and you shall understand and accept. After I explain this, then there will be no other choice, unless you wish to choose against this, but that would be making a bad choice..."
