The Forgotten Branch of a Family Tree Chapter 3 author's note Crono's Japanese name is Chrono but in the US they took out the 'h' because in the game each charactor can have only five letters in there name.

Chrono and Lucca started running again until they came to Lucca's garage that was behind her house. This is where she stored Epoch. Epoch had gathered a very thin blancket of dust just from being unused for a week. Chrono and Lucca jumped in,buckled in, (incase something is where they are when they travel through the timestream) and pressed a combo of buttons.

"Um... where are we going?" Lucca asked a sweatdrop forming on her head.
"Well here's what I figure. We know four of Marle's ansestors. 1)Kino, 2)Ayla, 3)Leene, and 4)King from 600 AD. So we just need to visit these timelines to find out who disappeared and where," Chrono said beaming.
"So we start in?" Lucca asked.
"65,000,000 BC," Chrono replied as Epoch finally arrived there.

They then flew to the Ioka Village to ask the villagers questions. So they got out of Epoch and first went to find Ayla. They searched for about an hour when they saw Kino who had bruises on himself and had many small cuts on him.

"Kino, where's Ayla?" Chrono asked the caveman.
"Ayla gone. Badman take her. Kino fight. Kino lose," Kino said as tears swelled up in his eyes.
"Gone? Where?" Lucca asked as she hoped Kino knew.
" Kino no know where badman take Ayla. Kino thinks Ayla in mountains. Good place to hide." Kino said as he took in a deep breath and let it out slowly.

Lucca then walked back to Epoch and got in.

"What are you doing Lucca?" Chrono asked.
"You heard the man, best place to hide is in the mountains," Lucca replied in a matter-of-factly way.

Chrono then jumped in and started the engine up so they could fly.

"Kino come to!" Kino said as he grabbed a poorly crafted spear and jumped on Epoch just as Chrono and Lucca left for the mountains.

To be contined...
