Chapter 1: The Last day of school! Maybe The Last Day of Their Lives
"Crono. Crono. Wake up" Crono heard a voice calling his name.
"Crono....CRONO WAKE UP! You're gonna be late for school!"
He then knew it was Lucca coming to get him for the last day of school.
"Go on without me, I'm sick" He lied. He was tired.
"You are not. Wake up or...I'll cut your hair!" she said.
He lay there trying to go back to sleep. Then Lucca said in a teasing voice,
"You won't be able to pull that big prank that the whole class is pulling on Mr..."
When she said that Crono jumped up.
"Why didn't you say so!?" I yelled, "Get out so I can get dressed!"
10 Minutes later I headed down stairs. Crono's mom was getting breakfast ready.
"Hurry up and eat Crono. And don't slurp your food either." She said.
Crono sat down and slurped his cereal anyway just to make her mad. He didn't even notice Lucca eating right next to him. They both finished and Crono grabbed 4 eggs from the refrigerator for the prank they were gonna pull on the teacher. Well you can't really call it a prank. They we're just gonna throw a bunch of slimy stuff at him at once to get back at him, then they were gonna tie him up and leave him until someone else found him to get back at him for being a stupid son of a bitch. Even Lucca hated him and she's... well she's obsessed with school and science and... well...ok, she's a nerd.
"Let's go" Crono said and they ran off to school.
When they got there everyone was waiting outside for them.
"It's about time you got here!" said Max, the class clown.
They all went over the plan. When the bell rang they were to all stand up and throw everything we had at him, then knock his glasses off since he's almost blind without them. After that, half of the class grabs him, and bound and gags him. Then they leave him there wet and rotting until some one else finds him... or at least until he has to use the bathroom and pisses on himself.
During the day they had a lot of work. Crono just copied off of Lucca.
"It's stupid that he gives us this much work on the last day of school!" Lucca said.
3 Hours later...
The teacher was rambling on about graduation in 2 days. The class was all too busy staring at the clock.
Crono thought: "Why should we listen to an old, bald, fat man."
All of a sudden the bell rung loudly. They all reached in their bags and tossed everything they had at the teacher. He started sputtering and coughing because something went in his mouth. All of the boys grabbed him while he tried to scream for help. They stuck some duct tape over his mouth and the girls tied some really tough wire that Lucca made. Normally her inventions don't work.
They all ran out quickly but when we got outside everyone was scattering.
"What's going on!?" said Lucca.
"It might be the principal, Hide!" Crono told here.
"Wait! That's not the principal! Look!" Lucca said.
Crono looked dead ahead to see the last person he expected to see. Wearing red pants, a black shirt, covered in clanky brass armor, and a long red cape that looked like a vampire's...
"Magus!?" Crono said.
Magus was someone who helped Crono and his friends 1 year ago when they fought the evil being from space that crash-landed into the planet to absorb the life out of it 65 Billion years ago. He used to be evil but only because he used the evil mystic troops to wreak havoc on the people of our Kingdom, Guardia in the year 600 A.D. while he waited for the chance to get powerful enough to beat Lavos. He wanted revenge on Lavos for corrupting his mom and hurting his sister 12,000 years ago. Lavos sent Magus, along with the 3 Guru's of Life, Time, and Reason through separate time portals to different periods of time.
He stared directly at Crono with that creepy look he always has on his face.
"I've been looking for you" Magus said. "I need you to do me a favor."
Crono looked at Lucca and she looked back at him. Then they both looked at Magus. Confused at why Magus would ask him for a favor, Crono asked him.
"What kind of favor?"
" I have been having weird dreams. In those dreams I see my sister, Schala." He said.
Schala was Magus' sister who disappeared after the ocean palace disaster. After his mom tried to draw in too much power from Lavos, she began to degenerate and became evil. She used Schala to activate the machine that drew the power from Lavos. After fighting him and losing, Schala helped Crono's friends escape from the Ocean Palace but disappeared. Magus has been searching for her ever since. Crono listened on, even though Magus is the last person he would do anything for.
"I don't think it's just a dream, I think it's a premonition" he continued, " Schala is alive somewhere... and I want you guys to help me find her."
"I had a strange dream last night too." Lucca said. "In them a wall is closing in on me and some other people, I could have sworn they looked like you guys."
"I had one too." Crono blurted out, surprised that he wasn't the only one with a strange dream. "We're running down the hall and we finally reach a door and then everything starts flashing really fast. It probably would have went on but Lucca busted in this morning and woke me up!"
"I thought I was the only one" came a voice out of nowhere. It was Marle coming from the castle. "In mine I'm fighting with some woman that I know I've seen before" she continued. "I saw Crono & Magus there out of the corner of my eye." "If you leave to look for her I'm coming too!" She finished.
"Me too!" Lucca said.
"Then lets get going!" Magus said. "We can travel quickly if we take the epoch"
He was talking about the time machine created by Belthasar the Guru of life.
"But I/Lucca dismantled it!" Marle, Lucca and Crono said at once.
Magus looked angry. Like the time Crono fought him in his castle.
"We can use the time gates, but that will still take time." Lucca said, talking about the time gates that they used to travel through time.
"Well what are we waiting for!? We should start in the year 65 billion BC" Magus said.
"We can visit Ayla!" Marle said.
"Let's go get our weapons and stuff." Crono said.
They all got their stuff ready and told their parents that they we're staying over each other's house. It was hard for Marle, being Princess of the entire Kingdom of Guardia. She thought of something but she wouldn't tell what. They headed for Leene's Square where the time gate was. Lucca held out the gate Key needed to open the time gate.
"Here we go!" she said.
The time gate opened and they all jumped inside, knowing they would end up at the End of Time if more than 3 people went through a gate at once.
