Chapter 4: Tsunusko - The Master of the Shadow Storm and Crono's Worst Nightmare
Crono and Lucca shot through the gate. Something was different this time. They could feel that they were moving very slow. The colors of the portal and the space and time look a distorted maroon, brown, and white.
"Crono, do you notice anything weird about the gate?" Lucca asked.
"If you mean the mixed up colors and the slow motion, Yes." Crono answered. "What's going on?"
"I have no Idea!" Lucca said. "I'm worried. Something bad is going on."
"You think we'll be able to head back?" Crono asked.
"Heh heh heh!" a strange voice rang out. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET OUT!"
"Wh-who's that!?" Lucca asked scared.
"Show yourself!" Crono asked.
The outer edges of the time gate stopped in an instant...Time stopped. There was an eerie silence that sent shivers down Lucca's back. Crono didn't want to show it, but he was scared too.
Just then there were two bursts of light from the far end of the gate. They shot at Crono and Lucca. They looked like a string of bullets out of a gun. They were less than three feet in front of Crono and Lucca when:
"EEEEEEEEK!" Lucca shrieked.
"AHHHHHHH!" Crono screamed.
Right before they crashed into Crono and Lucca they swerved up.
Hanging in mid air, Crono and Lucca, who had their eyes closed, slowly opened them. They looked up. Both of their eyes grew as big as melons. What they saw was unbelievable. There was a huge dragon floating in front of them. The horns of the dragons were as long as skyscrapers and the wings spread out, expanding around the space-time vortex. It breathed a heavy electrical mist. Its golden scales almost blinded Crono and Lucca. Then the scales, one by one, turned black.
"Did I scare you with my little show?" said a taunting, malicious voice. " If you were scared by that, how can you be the great Crono, the one that defeated Lavos and saved the future!?"
Crono and Lucca looked up. There was a man wearing a dark blue shirt and silver pants standing on top of the dragon. Over his shoulders draped a long, silver and blue cape. At his waist was a long Katana.
"Who are you?" Crono asked. "I demand to know."
"I don't think you're in any position to demand." Lucca whispered as she trembled."
"You're nerdy friend is right!" the man said. "I can murder you quickly and you'll disappear from time without a trace. But I will tell you my name. I am Tsunusko! Master of the Shadow Storm!"
