The End of Time & Back Home

Apparently we had landed in some kind of location where nothing worked. We stepped out of the portal and looked around for any signs of life. Robo pointed over to a faint light then hung up whereupon an old man was.

"I suggest we go ask that kind man where exactly we are."

We went over to him where he would introduce himself as Gaspar the Guru of Time.

"Ah more guests." He said. "Now where are all of you from?"

I stepped forward and said, "The three of us, Marle, Lucca, and I are from 1000ad."

"I'm from 2300ad." Robo mumbled.

Marle didn't seem a bit excited about it, "Tell us where we are you creepy old guy!"

"Why this is the end of time!" he exclaimed. "When four or more beings step into a time portal the coordinates will take them to the least of resistance…here. I know it sounds bleak, but too many people are appearing here. I have a deep fear that something is having a terrible effect on the very fabric of time itself!"

"So what you're saying is that…one of us has to stay here?" lucca asked.

"That's right; you may not travel in groups greater then three, but don't worry all points of time hook up here, so if you ever wish to visit them then you may come here and switch up. Anyways you see those lovely pillars of light where you came from? If you wish to get back to your time periods then you may take those back."

We thanked him and started to head out when he stopped us.

"What's your hurry? Why don't you take a peak in that room behind me?"

We took his advice and went inside to find a small room with a huge blue beast like creature standing in the middle.

"What are you looking at!" he roared. "Just because the old man let you in doesn't mean you're special! I've seen many great battles from up here between the mystics and the humans, and all over the use of magic! Do YOU want magic!"

I felt unease by his size and charisma, "Sure we'll give in, what we have to do?"

"Ha, you got spunk kid. Start thinking about magic and walk around the room in a counterclockwise motion three times!"

I already wanted to get back that I had trouble walking, felt dizzy, and fell over.

"Ha-ha that's funny!" he yelled.

I managed to do it, but I felt sick afterwards.

"Alright, innie Minnie, mighny mo!"

He waved his hands around and announced, "You the kid with the punk hair, you got lightning. The girl with the big glasses will be fire. Hmmm you, the girl jumping up and down, since I'm so nice you'll have the best power of all, water! Hey you the big toy, you're not alive are you? I can't really determine what you would be, but your inner strength serves you well. Now go out into the world, but keep in mind that not everyone will be too fond of your powers, so use them to your knowledge and wisdom!"

We thanked him and headed out towards Gaspar, "Well it looks like you all succeeded. I bet you're just itching to rip through time using your powers. However, the mystics aren't too fond of you, which I'm sure spekkio back there told you about. Take the time portal that goes to Medina Village. You will find a way back to your home town through there."

Soon we stepped back into the portals and we were flung through time, suddenly we burst through a pair of closet doors.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing in my house!" a voice called out.

We got up to see two impish creatures sitting at a table.

"Where…are we? I asked.

"Why this is medina village, center of magic! The great Magus had a great battle here against the mystic enemies, but unfortunately lost. If I were you I would be careful, they still hold a grudge against them. Oh by the way if you're looking to get back home, there's a nice man who lives by the mountains. Stop by on your way out and have a chat with him, he could use the company."

We thanked him and went to the sword dealer. When we arrived he looked like he had a great deal of wisdom and knowledge.

"If you wish to get to the fairgrounds, you may use the entrance from the cave. My name is melchoir."

We talked for a few brief minutes before finally heading out. The cave was a big change from the weather outside.

"Ah gees crono, I got my new sandals wet and it's freezing in here!" marle complained.

A few bats fluttered around the roof as we progressed along. A few pot like animals got in our way every so often. Then we reached a point where the trails lead into the water.

"Oh no, no way is I getting in there! I just had my nails done!"

As we got to what looked like an exit a huge creature with claws came charging at us and yelling, "Death to the mystics!"

We got out our weapons when we realized that we had magic now.

"Quick, if this guy is made of water then uses what goes against that, lightning!"

They both looked at me because that was my job.

I stood there waiting for it when marle nudged my shoulder signaling they were waiting for me.

"Oh yes duh, I'll get rid of this guy no need to worry!"

Marle and Lucca attacked with their weapons, but it had very little effect on him. And after each hit he would toss a water attack at us which was very powerful, one hit nearly killed lucca.

I let a few lightning attacks until it fell to the ground and roared, "If only the great magus had defeated the humans four hundred years ago!" And he faded into the darkness.

Alright so Magus is responsible for lavos, if we can go back and destroy lavos, what will become of time?" Lucca questioned herself.

We were arriving early back at the fairgrounds; no one else was at the site.

"Well we should all get some sleep and decide what to do later on." I said.

They agreed and headed back to their houses. When I arrived my mom was sitting at the table with her fingers tapping the table nervously.

"Oh my god Crono where were you! I heard you were to be executed!" she cried

I know she had a good reason to do it, but I felt as if she was overreacting just a bit!

"Ok um nice to see you too mom, now I'm going to get some sleep. Oh by the way I made some new friends, you'll get to meet them later on."

She didn't look a bit happy.
