A/N: that's right Final Chapter, no cuts no glory. I hope I can make this one at least 3000 long or close to it. Here is where we shall see Legend come to live and trust me, as I said, you won't be let down. I hope…
Dis: I do now own CT. but I own the Lineage Brotherhood and Legend.
Legend wakes up in a daze, his vision blurred. He can hear a gasp coming from near his right. He rubs his eyes and looks to his right and there is the women who saved him.
"are you alright? You were hurt badly"
"who are you…where is Lucca?"
"you weren't with anyone. Is this person that much to you?"
"I need to find her. Out of my way" Legend steps up off the bed he lay on only to fall back on it.
"you are hurt. Your leg hath been broke"
"my luck"
"what is you name?"
"I adapted the name Hakura, but my true name is Legend Kerouses (core'ru'sis) Lineage"
"you're the one that had stolen the Princess"
"by accident, but it turned out to be a blessing, she was being hunted by a rival country and was going to be killed"
"we know" the women and her attendants throw off their disguises and reveal their true self.
"I should have known, I had no recall of braking my leg"
"smarter then I thought to bad, you still can't fight"
"au contraire" Legend snaps his leg back onto one piece and gets up. "smarter still am I?"
"get him!" the head commands. The other women attack Legend. A simple bat of his sword does them in. after he cleaves through her army of attendants Legend leans close to the head.
"and by the way Miss Averdain. We cut our link with you years ago" Legend raises his sword and swings it down with force. The blood smears across the wall and Legend moves on. Miss Averdain's Body lay motionless still in a standing position. A large wound across her right arm bleed horribly.
"no, he is back. Then, then…where is the child?…" she grips her arm to try and stop the blood and goes to get the Med. Case. She wraps her arm up and rest on the bed.
"I'll be safe for a while, but I know he'll come back" she closes her eyes then slowly sleeps.
Legend walks through the town, all of the villagers hide and cower in fear as he watches them.
"hm, my reputation never dies down. I may have to leave this place yet again, and hopefully I won't return" Legend walks on out of the village. All of the town folk emerge and watch as Legend walks away. And just when they thought all was save. Legend turns and blasts the town with a huge amount of Dark Energy. No one left, not even Miss Averdain. Their bodies lay on the ground falling from the sky as though rain. Soon the blood comes down in rains fashion. Legend just laughs evilly as he sees his power grow.
"this is what I've become, I am no longer bound. Forgive me Lucca, you can not love me now…"
At The Capital…
"Lucca?" Rose spoke up for the first time since she had awoken.
"yes, what is it Princess?"
"about Legend, how did you come into his life? How did you become involved?"
"I don't know what to say, I can't tell her the truth or she may be crushed. I mean I think she loves him" Lucca tries to avoid speaking the obvious. "well, in our world I was testing a transporter system. I had made a small miscalculation and all of us had become lost in time. Before we came here we had been to our close past and far future. Now we are here"
"interesting. But how is it you got here, there is no record of you have a dimension link?"
"that I can't explain"
a new Brother returns with Marle in his arms. "hey girl you got more company, I hope one of ya knows how to help her stay amongst the living" Wollf chuckles.
"you monster" He tosses in Marle and locks the door back up.
"Marle? Marle? Marle wake up!" Lucca shakes her but nothing works.
"she'll be fine" a new voice calls from the edge of the darkened hallway.
"who are you?" Rose demands.
"I am Kerok" he steps forth revealing his form. He wears a cape lined with fur, and a clock under it. A small amount of his armor can be seen from the gap in the cloak but that is about all they can see.
"Kerok?" Lucca's memory seems to strike her.
"yes, Father of that boy who saved you once before. I am glad he brought you here to me"
"you lie!" Rose fumes. "he would never do such a thing!"
"not under his own will, but it's that blood of mine that flows through him that made him do it. A fine son indeed, three women, and one he loves, he'll be here. And he'll fight, soon the portal will open again, and I will, become a god again!"
"that's it!" Lucca snaps her fingers. "Kerok the God of Chaos in the Andareé (on'dar'ie) Realm. You had lost your god given powers on the fifth encounter with your son Legend. After your death you had created Tyrany, an exact copy of your self to go and revive you. You then seek pure maidens to open the portal to the realm where the god's hold your power. And the purest maidens are the ones that look past your son's difference"
"smart girl, to bad we may only need you to open it"
"oops" Lucca's face goes to a pale white.
"Father! Legend is here. He is at the gate of the Capital!" Caos informs Kerok.
"good. You hold him off as the front line, then Legacy will be the second line, then Wollf, and Tyrany last, do not die, if on the edge of defeat retreat to the next line and recover. None of you are cowards for doing so, I just don't want him gaining any more strength, it would be wise to avoid that blade having anymore blood to feast on. Now go!"
"yes father!" he salutes and runs off to the town.
"your still afraid Kerok, I thought better of you" Lucca chuckles.
"not at all. Have you never played a game before. The end boss always holds off for time. To weaken his opponent. Legend will see through this and play no games, they have only a slim chance at being able to run"
"so you'd kill your own kin just to try and fool Legend"
"not at all. Just sit back and watch" a monitor appears from nowhere and shows Legend on the screen, he is blasting away at the capital. There are body parts everywhere and the blood raining down on him. His beautiful white hair has been stained red. Lucca gasps.
"no, Hakura fight it. You can beat this!" Lucca's tears well up again and flow down her face. "this can't be him!"
"it is, and I pity you for ever thinking he could be conquered will simple human emotions"
"enough!" she cries out. A blast of fire energy knocks Kerok back a bit.
"is that it, perhaps you'd be more of a challenge when you see more innocents die"
Down with Legend…
"father I am coming for you. And I will free Lucca and the Rest. And I hope your soul may never rest. Knowing that you can't beat me" he blasts another section of the Capital and moves on. A lone baby lay on the streets crying, wrap in a blood soaked blanket, it's mother dead right by it. Legend points his hand at the child and summons up more dark energy. He is about to blast the child when Lucca's cry echoed through the air.
"enough!"
"What? Lucca?" he stops the attack and looks around. He can't find anyone.
"over here brother!" Caos calls.
Legend turns around to see Caos with the baby in his arms. Sword pointed at it's throat.
"put it down"
"why, I'd rather fight Legend, my brother, not the "assumed Hakura" your way to soft" (forgive fans I don't want to be this cruel but I must for the sake of Lucca) Caos thrust the blade through the child's neck and drops it on the ground. The child let's out a blood filled cry then lay motionless.
"you………Monster!" Legend's aura returns and he pulls out his Blade. The black flames engulf it as he stare coldly at Caos.
"your mine Brother, you won't walk when I am done with you"
"bring it on!"
Caos rushes at Legend and slashes his shield arm. Legend growls with anger and thrusts his Blade into Caos' leg, he then swings his sword to the ground dragging Caos with it. Then stomping on his chest then pulling out the sword. Caos hacks at Legend's Knee and quickly gets back to his feet. He launches a small ball of energy at Legend but it just gets deflected. Legend Swings again at Caos catching his hip this time. He then throws him into the air and piles the Sword through his central body, then on the way down he thrusts the blade into the ground standing atop it. Thrusting it through his body. Caos barely gets up. He stands weakened badly.
"this is not over brother" Caos quickly retreats.
Legend stand there his evil grins still on his face. He stand there alone. Fighting a battle inside his own mind. He is losing his control, soon Hakura will be no more.
At the Second Line…
Caos limps over to Legacy. Holding his many wounds.
"Brother heal me"
"no, Father said recover, you're a Verial. Go kill some towners and bathe in the blood. I'll hold Legend off"
"alright, I will come back when I am better" Caos limps off to a part of town to go on a Blood bath well Legacy holds his ground.
"not even a single hit on Brother, Caos you are the weakest of us all. Next to you is Wollf. Then me, and Tyrany the strongest. But I have the smarts to beat brother, Father didn't give that half wit even a small amount of brain"
Legends evident arrival was getting closer and closer. The buildings in the distance falling down in a dark blaze. The screams of pain where Caos heals. Legacy just waits. His knightly armor shines even on such a clouded day. The Ankh Symbol on his cloth shows his power of energy. And the Family Crest on his necklace shows his ferocity. Soon Legend arrives on the scene. Legacy opens his eyes and greets his brother.
"hello Brother. I see you still have no control over your better half"
"quiet! Words mean nothing!"
"ah, such a brute. You really need to talk things over. But if I must speak with my blade I shall"
Legend darts in and attacks. But before he could even raise his blade Legacy disappeared. Legend looks around and can't even sense his energy. Then an attack from the back throws Legend to his knees. Legacy then thrust his sword repeatedly through his back and laughs.
"never were fast were you, ha!" at his laugh, Legend swings his blade barely catching Legacy. Legacy then jumps back and wipes of non existent dust.
"how dare you" he runs and attacks with a wide swing. Legend Blocks by putting his blade vertically in front of him. Then with the force of the attack uses it to counter. A large wound across Legacy's face hinders his vision. Legend then thrusts his sword for a final strike when Caos bats it away. Legend jumps back and looks at both of his brothers.
"thank you, Caos. I'll refrain from saying your there when not needed a little less often"
"thanks, but I'll still call you a brown noser" the two close in for the attack. Legend jumps to the air and summon a large mass of dark energy. (the attack is like the Spirit Bomb From DBZ)
"don't worry Brother I got this one" Caos steps forward and focuses his power on the ball of energy, using his power over law, he forces the attack to become unstable. The attack then explodes at close range to Legend. Legend falls heavily wounded from the attack and lands hard on the streets. Legacy and Caos approach Legend.
"that was easy" Caos laughs.
"look again Brother" Legacy points to the blade. Small traces of blood ooze forth from it and become absorbed by Legend. He soon gets back up to his feet, with that evil grin still pasted on his face.
"no way, why'd he get that sword!"
"father's legacy, he was the first born, so until he dies he keeps it. Then if he does not have any children it will be past on to the next son. You would have it"
"yeah alright, let's kill him then!" Caos rushes in to finish him but in a flash as quick as light Caos is soon reduced to nothing but the blood that ran through him. The blade then absorbs that.
"hm, comatose. He'll be there for a while, I should report to father"
"no need" Kerok emerges from behind a building. "let us halt this, you and the remaining Brothers come back to the castle. We have a problem here"
"yes father"
Back in the Cell…
"Lucca, I think Marle is coming to"
Marle moans and groins, tosses and turns, then opens her eyes to see the two other girls looking down on her.
"Lucca!" Marle gets up and embraces her. "I missed you, where is Crono?"
"about 7000 years ahead of us"
"what?"
"we're captured, and locked up in some place referred to as "the Capital"" Rose speaks.
"and who are you?"
"I am Lady Rose. Princess to these lands. You are princess Marle"
"yes, how'd you know?"
"Lucca told me"
Marle just sighs. "so we are locked up and no way out?"
"Hakura…Rather Legend, is coming to save us. But then it could be for the worse"
"how so?"
"I have learnt that, Legend is that alternate form of Hakura, and with every transformation he losses control of it. Reports from his brothers say that he has already destroyed three towns-"
"and half the Capital" Legacy walks to the door and opens it. "we are taking you to a safer place, we can let you be awake for the transportation or we can get physical…"
"we will cooperate" Rose says. The others follow suit.
They are taken deep underground were any misfired blasts won't effect them much. Then locked away in a slightly roomier and comfortable cell.
"now stay quiet" the brothers leave and go to set up the counter attack.
"how well do you think Hakura is holding up?" Marle wonders aloud.
"Hakura, why can't you here me. I love you, and I always will, your in there somewhere, please come out" Lucca prays.
And as if heard Legend awakes from his coma, he looks about the place and sees all the pestilence and death. He quivers at the sight, knowing full well he did this. Several happy couple dead, hand in hand still. All of the children motionless with blood soaked faces. And the babies, he couldn't stand to watch.
"good bye Lucca. May you live well without me" he holds out his hands and summons all the energy he can. It bends and twist between them. Until finally it form into a time rip. He throws it up in the air and it moves toward the Capital center. There it makes it's way down to Lucca and Marle.
"Lucca, look it's a time rip, we can get out of here!"
"no, we can't leave Hakura out there"
"go, I'll make sure he arrives back with you" Rose commands them. "you never told me but your actions speak clearly. Lucca I know you love him and so I will swear to let you and him unite or so be it I'll take my life for his"
"Rose, don't do this" Lucca didn't know weather she really wanted this.
"go now!" Rose pushes them into the time rip and it closes. Rose then collapses. As Does Hakura from the energy usage.
And Kerok watches on fiendishly. "you stupid fool, oh well. I am sure she will return for you, until then I will have Rose"
