Rosette: BC?...? BC????

Chrono: What's wrong Rosette?
Rosette: BC HAS GONE MISSING!!!

Chrono: How much do you want to bet?

Rosette: Anything I cant find her anywhere.

Chrono: She is here Rosette…She's just taking a coffee break.

Rosette: And she didn't invite me?

Aion: No but she invited me

BC: Did not! Anywho I do not own CC and I am sorry about that. I wish I did -disappears in a poof of pink depressing smoke.-

­­Rosette

She ran and kept running. Sticks, branches, stones, and other inanimate objects determined to stop her only managed to make her bleed. Other then the moon and stars she seemed to be completely no where, anywhere, or even somewhere. Time seemed to flow differently while she ran. Each second that ticked by seemed like and hour, and each hour became a second. The trees, creeks, boulders, and other landforms blended together in the night creating a set for a horror movie that never seemed to end. She heard her pursuers and began to tear up again. Her eyes were letting the water fall at an extrodinary rate and even then she felt her hope, dreams, and future fall apart.

"Have you caught her?" Rosette heard from somewhere behind her. She kept running despretly hoping that this nightmare she was trapped in would end.

"No," another voice answered the first, "I haven't seen her for at least ten minutes."

"Ten minutes?" Rosette heard the fury in the voice clearly as if the demon was right beside her, "You haven't seen her for that long? You have lost our only chance of resurrecting pandemonium?"

"No sir!" the voice yelled back, "I will find her!"

"You better!"

Rosette tripped over a root and gasped. She looked down at where she had tripped and saw how beat up she was. Her legs had gashes as long as her arm and many scraches that looked as if a cat had mauled her. Her ankle was what caught her sad eyes and frightened her. She could tell just by the large bruise under some ripped skin that she had done something bad to it. It hurt, bad. It seemed as if hellfire and ice had gathered together to stop her getaway.

She glanced around quickly hoping to find some sort of hiding place nearby. The only thing that caught her eye was a rotten log. She prayed despretly that she had A.) enough strength to get over to it, B.) that it would somehow protect and shield her from the demons and C.) that she wouldn't fate before she got there.

She slowly and painfully army crawled over to where the log was and hoped that she was well enough hidden that the devils would pass.

Chrono

Chrono stared at the watch it seemed as if time itself was being unwound. He shook his head thinking of what the girl had said, "Chrono did you or did you not bring me here to resurrect Pandemonium?"

"Yes, I did."

Why had he felt as if he had let the world collapse? Why was he still pondering over the girl?
Why was everything so confusing?

Because this is what you asked for.

"It isn't!" Chrono yelled at whoever had spoken, "I didn't ask to be confused! I didn't ask for Rose to be the Holy Woman!"

No but you did ask for another chance.

"For what?" Chrono growled at the wind, "Why would I need another chance?"

For something that happened long ago remember?
"No I do not!" Chrono shouted his anger growing and powering his demonic powers.

Then you don't deserve her.

Chrono stopped and looked up at the sky. His anger began to fade and as it did the depths of fire in his amber eyes began to ebb away. The silver light of the stars shone in his eyes now and he blinked thinking over what the voice had said and answered it as truthfully as he could muster, "Why? Why are you letting this happen? Why am I here at this time? Why is she the one?"

Chrono, I do not know the answers only God knows. I am just your guardian, nothing more, nothing less.

"Argh! Why? What?"

You love her still.

"I never did."

So you don't recall?

"Nothing!"
So I guess you failed a second time.

"Failed?" asked Chrono his eyes growing dimmer, "How did I fail?"

A laugh sounded behind him and he spun to face Aion, at least he thought it was Aion, but the look on Aion's face was foreign to Chrono. For all of Aion's cruelty he never looked like this, he never looked like a psychotic murdering feind. But now there was the look, the exact look as the last time.

"So Chrono?" Aion chuckled making Chrono flinch, "Have you finally realized?"
"Realized what?" Chrono answered cautiously circling Aion wondering what Aion was thinking.

"Oh you didn't? Well that just makes my job easier." Aion laughed cruely.

"Easier?" Chrono watched Aion's face grow cold and calculating.

"Yes," Aion touched his horns, "I need to kill you."

Rosette

Rosette sighed as the devils passed her and wondered how she could possibly handle all of this at the same time. Her eyes closed as she thought out the whole event. She felt the sting of her cuts and inhaled sharpley.

Rosette?

Rosette glanced around her eyes scanning and her hand reaching for the gun she had lost.

Rosette, It's me.

Rosette calmed when the voice spoke again. She had recognized who it was.

"Mary," she whispered her throat dry, "Why are you here?"
Rosette, Chrono is in danger of dying. He is fighting Aion. You must go help him.

"Must?" asked Rosette coldly, "He didn't help me. In fact he sold me out."

Chrono doesn't remember you. Chrono didn't remember anything about your past. It is all Aion's fault he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Please Rosette!

Rosette turned away from Mary wondering what she should do.

Chrono

Chrono dodged the attacks Aion threw at him as quick as he could and still was hit. He felt the blood gush from his shoulder and took a hesitant breath.

"Why Aion?" Chrono inquired while fighting.

"Because you are in my way you always are."

"How?" Chrono pushed Aion's blade away.

"Because you are always on the wrong side!" Aion hit Chrono's shoulder a second time.

Chrono fought the battle as hard and as fast as he could. His arms were tiered, his heart was heavy, and his eyes were blurring. He looked up at Aion and realized for all the blood Aion was loosing he seemed in a much better condition then Chrono. Aion hit him again as Chrono fell almost completely unconscious to the ground. He barely felt Aion's attacks now. He barely felt as the sword cut off his arm. His legion weren't healing fast enough and he knew it. He was dying and he only had one regret about it.

"Aion!!!" A sound of a gunshot rang through the night.

The voice cut through the darkness of unconsciousness. Chrono opened his eyes. They were blurry and they itched. He slowly sat up and saw the one thing he regretted and the one thing he wanted to protect, Protecting him and fighting.

Then something hit him, Rosette Mary Christopher was fighting Aion, for a second time.

Rosette and Chrono

She would save him even at the cost of her own life. Even if she died he wouldn't remember and if she died that meant that Aion wouldn't be able to use her to summon pandemonium. She shot her gun and threw crosses, holy water and grenades.

"So a final stand Rosette?" asked Aion a sadistic smile across his face, "That is just like you."

"A taunt?" Rosette replied coldly, "Is that all you can do Aion?"

The two enemies stared at each other, both knowing the many ways this could end if they messed up. Finally Aion attacked full throttle. Lights flashed, many gunshots were heard, and finally a sickening thud.

When the smoke from the weapons Rosette had used cleared Chrono stood staring at the limp form of Rosette and the devil behind her only one phrase came to Chrono's mind.

Not again.

Something raced through Chrono's body making every amend to his physic and his sanity. Strength flooded through him and even though a few seconds before he was almost completely unconscious he was standing looking as kick ass as ever. His amber eyes glowed and his purple hair seemed suspended by time hanging in the air. His eyes looked upon the pale face of the beaten Rosette and grew soft. He walked over slowly and picked up the girl gently.

"Oh Rosette," Chrono kissed the top of the blonds head, gently carrying her and laying her by a large boulder out of the way, "I am sorry it took so long."
Aion watched smirking, "So whatever is the matter Chrono?"

Chrono didn't answer, he turned almost painfully slowly and looked at Aion anger, fear, pity, and sadness on his face. Then his eyes suddenly glared at the devil, "How dare you? Aion, this time there will not be a sad ending!"

Two voices echoed through the darkness that clouded Chrono's mind, one was of the fallen Rosette and the other a lover from another time.

The words they said in harmony were, You remembered.

BC: -POOF- I'm back is it done?

Chrono: Yep

BC: Went to fast huh?

Rosette: Yep

BC; Should I put this up then redo it? So they can see where I am going with this?

Chrono: Yeah I think you should but lets ask the readers!

Rosette: That way they can tell you what they think!
BC: Good Idea! So readers! It's your turn! Did this chapter cover too much in too little time? Or did I do good? Please read and review telling me, BC, what you think!
