Anyone within the vicinity of the stock room will be attacked! Marle: There! There it is! Lucca: Shhh! It might run away. Dash with the B Button, catch him with the A button! Got it! Squeek!! I give up. I'll tell you everything, squeek. Press and hold the L&R Buttons and then press the A button to access the secret passage, squeek. Don't make any mistakes, or you'll be sorry! Marle: Phew! Something reeks! Lucca: Everything's completely rotten. The refrigeration must have failed... Marle: Crono, look!! ... ... Passed away long ago, I suppose... Marle: He's holding something. What do you suppose this is? Lucca: It looks like some kind of seed. Marle: A seed? Do you suppose it could grow in a place like this? The following is written on a soiled sheet of paper... The rat is more than just a statue! It knows the secret of this dome. Catch it! Executing program... Marle: Crono! What's going on?! Lucca: Marle! Let's go! OLD MAN: ...... OLD MAN: NO! You MUST NOT climb Death Peak! Wouldn't make it very far, anyway! It has to be the right time... ...and...THEY...have to show you the way! OLD MAN: Schala...I've missed you so... OLD MAN: Say! Did you see my masterpieces? The Ocean Palace and the Blackbird? I designed and built them both. STRANGE CREATURE: I am pleased you think me worthy, O wise one! I await your final program code! OLD MAN: Now, don't go getting all emotional on me, critter! Back to work, now! Huh...? To those who opened the door... I am Belthasar, the Guru of Reason. I once lived in the kingdom of Zeal. A great disaster in Zeal somehow threw me into this era. To my surprise, Lavos exists here, and, I suspect, in other periods as well. Aeons ago, Lavos descended from the heavens. Burrowing deep into the the world's core, he began to consume our planet's energy, and grow stronger. Lavos disappeared briefly when he was summoned away by a mighty wizard who lived in Guardia, in the year 600. In 1999, Lavos claims this area, and reigns from high atop Death Peak. Lavos continues to replicate...... like a giant parasite, he is consuming our world. Forced to live here, I continued to conduct research on Lavos. But I am growing old. And it's impossible to keep sane in such trying times. So before I lose it completely, I shall safeguard my data, and my ultimate creation... How I long to return home... But I have grown frail... So you...YOU, who have opened the door! I leave things in your hands. Only by mastering time, itself, do you stand a chance against Lavos. The odds will be against you... But you are true heros. The world is in your hands. Open, now, the last door, and take what you find there. My last invention... My "Wings of Time"... Marle: Wow...this is amazing... How do you tell the front from the back? Lucca: This must be the invention Belthasar spoke of. Robo: The Wings of Time... I believe I have heard of this device. Frog: This...moves through time? Ayla: !! What this thing? A curious crest is engraved here. Some unknown power keeps it sealed. The pendant shimmers...! STRANGE CREATURE: The professor's programming was, in a sense, his own eulogy. Soon, I, too, will be able to sleep forever. But first... There is one thing I must do. ...... ...... ...... Program error... ...my memory banks have failed... STRANGE CREATURE: Please, do not disturb my slumber. STRANGE CREATURE: Caution. The Time Axis is out of order. STRANGE CREATURE: Scared you, didn't I? It's me......BELTHASAR I copied my memory into this thing. What do you think? Anyway, there's something I need to explain. Namely, how to transcend time! Press the Y Button for the time gauge. Then use the L&R Buttons to select an era. BELTHASAR: Oh, yeah! Before you go, why don't it... BELTHASAR: ...name my time machine! BELTHASAR: Hop aboard! No dozing off, now! STRANGE CREATURE: Instructions for the time machine are as follows. The Y Button displays the time gauge. Use the L <$E4> R Buttons and Control Pad to select a destination in time. Press the A Button to board and get off the device, and to warp through time. End Professor's message. STRANGE CREATURE: Enter name of time machine. GUARD: Bandits! Must report to Sir Krawlie! UNDERLING: There was a bridge here! I SAW it, rrrribit! BOSS: Fool! Grribbit! There's nothing here! UNDERLING: B...but it's true, ribbit... BOSS: Someone's coming! Let's scram, grribbit! Marle: This is a tad on the spooky side... Lucca: This is an eerie place. I've got a bad feeling about this... Ayla: Bad place! Much danger. Notice Go around back and press the switch! GUARD: The 3 of them are almost here! SIR KRAWLIE: Coming through the sewer like they own it! They must have a death wish! We shall teach them a lesson! GUARD: Let's show 'em. HEE HEE! SIR KRAWLIE: Just let them come through here! They'll be chopped liver! SIR KRAWLIE: Hahahahahaha! GUARD: Heeheeheeheehee! SIR KRAWLIE: Harharharhar! GUARD: HAHAHAHAHA! SIR KRAWLIE: HEEEEHEEEEEHEEE! GUARD: ! SIR KRAWLIE: Huh? Shut up! Get lost! Mountains're nice. This's the life. Mountains're nice. Man, you're nosy. Here, take this. AZALA: Hear that lovely voice? You'll soon become the best of friends! AZALA: Red star... Fall!!!!! Stain the earth...RED! AZALA: Mwa ha ha! With this Black Tyrano I can finally exterminate those filthy apes! AZALA: So...you are here at last. This is it, then. The showdown. Today there shall be a conclusion. Will it be the Reptites, or you silly apes who end up ruling the world? Ayla: Strong survive. Ayla strong. Ayla fight! AZALA: Though it may be our fate to perish, we will not simply hand this world over to you! AZALA: No...It can't be...! Could the heavens truly have sided with the apes? Listen, primates, and let it be known. We Reptites fought bravely to the bitter end! Ayla: Ayla understand... Ayla: !? AZALA: Soon, stones of fire will rain down. Flames shall scorch the land. The burned out plains will slowly freeze, ushering in a long, cruel ice age. Mwa, ha ha...what a treat! You will wish you went along with us! Mwa ha! Ayla: Lavos... Marle: Pardon? Lucca: La...Lavos!? Robo: Lavos...Impossible! Ayla: Ayla's word. "La" mean fire. "Vos" mean big... Ayla! Ayla: Kino! Ayla: Hurry! Lavos come soon! Ayla: All ride Dactyl! Ayla: Kino! Hurry!! KINO: Ayla! What you do?! Ayla: Come! Azala! Come! AZALA: Absolutely not! The powers that be have spoken. Ayla: ... KINO: Ayla! Hurry!!! Ayla: Azala... ...me not forget... AZALA: The future... Ayla: Future? What about future? AZALA: We...have no future... NIZBEL: Azala's in the back. NIZBEL: Hold it. This is a special place. The great Nizbel was defeated here! NIZBEL: Well, well! Out for a little stroll, are we? UNDERLING: Press the switch, and the bridge opens, ribbit! BOSS: So, switch on, gribbit! UNDERLING: Riiiiiiiiibit! It's out of reach, ribbit! BOSS: And you call yourself a frog, ribbit, GRIBBIT! There's a diary. Here's the last page. It's all over. The fishmen attack if I make even the slightest noise. I'd rather have my gums scraped than have to fight these fiends. STRANGE CREATURE: Mumble, mumble? Take off. Get off. Marle: We're outta here! Lucca: Let's go, Epoch! Robo: Forward, Epoch! Frog: Hi ho, Epoch!! Ayla: Epoch, GO! Magus: We're off. STRANGE CREATURE: I will now deliver a message from the professor. BELTHASAR: On "Death Peak" you will find the power to restore life. But to activate this power, the deceased must be important to the space-time continuum. And you MUST have a clone identical to that person. Only then, can a Chrono Trigger work its magic... BELTHASAR: Enough. The time has come for you to attempt "Death Peak." It's the only chance you have of reviving your friend. The last program I've implanted in this creature's memory banks will help you up the mountain. Stand back. BELTHASAR: Without the Clone, there's no point in going to "Death Peak!" Now, scram! BELTHASAR: Need a Clone? The magician, Nolstein Bekkler could whip one up in the wink of an eye. Bekkler loves festivals. Find a festival, and there, too, you shall find Bekkler! Executing program! BELTHASAR: The 3 entities you saw will help you climb "Death Peak." This ends my message. Now I must ask you for a favor. This creature has executed its program. Please let him sleep. The switch is on his stomach. Switch the creature off? Yes. No. This creature sleeps beyond the flow of time. 3 of you! And in a place like THIS! You've got a long journey ahead of you so please rest awhile. And if you wish to awaken from this dream, there probably is a way... What will you do? Wake up. Stay. Hey! We've got a customer! UNDERLING: Get on, ribbit! What will you do? Shop! Just chat. Got a lot of great stuff! Come again! These just don't sell too well, ho, ho!! See ya around! UNDERLING: You're starting to bug me! How long do I have to put up with your drivel, ribbit? BOSS: Just shut up and push, will ya, GRIBBIT! UNDERLING: Hey, Boss. What's your life's dream, ribbit? BOSS: My personal dream? To be King of the Sewer! Gribbit! BOSS: Oh, all right...! What's your little dream? Gribbit. UNDERLING: I just want to keep being your apprentice, ribbit. BOSS: Sheesh! You're making me cry, here. I'm gonna tell Krawlie what you just said!! UNDERLING: Ribbit...ribbit, ribbit! BOSS: Gribbit, gribbit, GRIBBIT! Marle: What! This's ending already? Lucca: That's what that word usually means! Marle: But things were just starting to get interesting! Lucca: Well, come on folks, let's do the `ending' thing. Marle: ROLL THE CREDITS! But first, let's remember all the fun things we did! Lucca: Okay! Let the ultimate slide show begin! Marle: First, let's see a close up of Leene Square! Lucca: There's the Steel Runner. Marle: I've never understood why anyone would want to run for 3 hours at a stretch... Lucca: Forget that! Can you imagine what the inside of that armor must smell like? Marle: What a lovely thought, Lucca. Let's get on with the show, OKAY?! Lucca: Next let's visit Guardia Castle, your home. Marle: Goodness! VERY nice scenery! Lucca: But of course, my dear! Marle: I guess you never took a shot at him, right? Say, didn't he just wink at you? Lucca: RELAX, Marle!! Marle: Hey! It's Pierre! Lucca: Wouldn't want anything to do with someone like HIM. Too shifty... He should be put on trial! Marle: Come on, Lucca! Live it up a little! Let your hair down! Get Crazy!!! Lucca: Yeah, thanks PRINCESS. I'll take that under advisement!! Marle: There's the seed. Hope it grows... Lucca: Theeeeere's Johnny... Mr. Speed himself! Marle: Someone ought to tell him to take a permanent pit stop. Look at that hair! Lucca: Hey, check it out! He's really a tricycle! Pass him! Marle: Try again when you learn to RIDE. Lucca: There's that stuffed-shirt, Cyrus! Marle: He IS pretty handsome, though... Lucca: But WHERE does he buy his clothes? Marle: Hey, did you hear? He plucks his eyebrows! Lucca: You've GOT to be joking! But...he's still a hunk! Marle: Hi, Toma! Now HE'S definitely my type! Lucca: Aw, he's just a flake. Marle: Probably has a dozen girlfriends. Lucca: Actually, I see him as more of an intellectual! Marle: What about him? That Kino guy? Lucca: Total Neanderthal! Throw him a bone! Marle: But he's honest. That's kind of attractive. Lucca: He walks like a DUCK!! Marle: Well, he'll never hurt anyone. Lucca: He's really very gentle, isn't he? Lucca: Crono!!! Crono: What ARE you two doing?! I thought you said something about a nice little slide show? Marle: So, we got a little carried away! Lucca: Where do you want to go next?! Marle: Some place fun!! Crono: How about into the "now"?! Lucca: Now, as in the present? Marle: Okay! Back to the present! Lucca: So I guess we don't need a Gate Key anymore, right? Lucca: Hey!

Lucca: This is completely irrational. Marle: Hurry, Crono! CHANCELLOR: They...disappeared!! SOLDIER: There's no escape! SOLDIER: Silence! CHANCELLOR: Princess, move away from that hoodlum! 20G in advance... Well? Yes No Very well! Come again soon. A one-way ticket is 10G. Want one? Yes. No. Here you go. Have a nice day! But you'd love the trip! I guarantee it! Not enough cash. I take the ferry every chance I get! Nothing like a ferry ride! ELDER: Ha! I run this town! And I'm so rich I don't know what to do with it all!! Give you 10G if you act like a chicken! Yes. No. ELDER: Bo-oring! ELDER: HAAAHAHA! Here ya go, 10G! Share and share alike! Help the needy! Thinkin' about makin' THAT the town motto. The person I hate most? My dad, of course. The person I like most? My dad, of course! Dad loves money more than he loves me... I love my daddy! The children are slipping away from us. It's so sad... I wish my husband were a little less generous. Everyone says Daddy's greedy. They're lying, right? Everyone thinks DAD's generous. Does that mean they think he's cool? Who knows. Grandpa & Grandma went to the 1000th Anniversary in Truce. We're keeping an eye on things here! I wanna go to the festival, too! Some monsters coexist with humans. Like that piano player. Everyone's over at the festival. What fools! 400 years ago a woman named Fiona died trying to save the great forest that once flourished to the north. How sad... 400 years ago a strange metal creature helped a woman named Fiona revive the forest to the north. The creature was placed in a shrine within the forest. I'm the piano man[nota] Play a sad one, Joe! Something upbeat, please! I'm gonna put on this armor and fight that stupid Magus! Yeeeoooww! It's heavy! Don't overdo it! It was Magus who killed off the forest up north. VILLAGE CHIEF: The "Magic Cave' lies under a mountain east of Denadoro. Next to the bed is a treasure box. Open it, and the contents are yours. Fiona loves nature. She's got a noble heart. I hope her dreams come true. Tata received the Hero Medal! At first I thought it was fake! He must have done something very brave! He's probably up north, looking for the legendary sword. Oh, that Tata! He's just too loveable. I'm gonna marry Tata! Door lock system "Zabie" operational. Enter password. Emergency elevator shut off. Robo: Emergency! Security system has gone haywire. Must escape immediately! Robo: Hurry! Now!!! After pressing the B Button and dashing here and there, I'm pooped! But this dance has rejuvenated me! A prehistoric dance. How enchanting! Catchy rhythm! Use the X, Y, L, and R buttons to dance! Ladeedadeeda! Got some spending money from the Elder! Marle, that is, Princess Nadia, is a descendant of Queen Leene! Queen Leene has been kidnapped. As I recall, someone was supposed to have saved her. But history has been changed! Marle looks so much like Leene, that they probably called off their search when she appeared here. But if the real Queen is killed... ... Marle will simply disappear. There might still be time! If we can save Leene, history as we know it should remain unchanged! My son's the legendary Hero! It must have been all that oatmeal! And to think that I'm his father...! TATA: I...I'm sorry everyone. Some frog guy dropped this in a cafe. I thought I'd sell it, but then everyone started calling me a "Hero." I couldn't bear to get rid of it! I just can't fake it any longer. I'm no Hero...! I'm so ashamed! Here. Please take this! TATA'S FATHER: Scoundrel! I knew this was all a sham! How could I have fallen for that? For my dear departed wife's sake, I vow to keep my feet on the ground! TATA: Listen to YOU! Who was going around telling everyone that you raised a Hero, huh?! My grandson's a brave Hero! That's from my side of the family! Heeheehee... Oh, my grandson! He secretly told me, "My next goal is to command the Super Legendary Space Ship, XR-RX!" Hahahahaha!! Stole 500G! Stole a Tonic! Aaahhhh! Hey you! It's Cyrus! Run for your lives! Sniffle...thanks, Cyrus...Hic...! CYRUS: Glenn, there're times when people simply have to grit their teeth! GLENN: But...it hurts when I get hit. They... CYRUS: You're a marshmallow, Glenn... The forest leads north, to Guardia Castle. Approaching Guardia Castle. No trespassing. Dead end ahead. An open field lies ahead. Can't carry any more Silver Points. The piano man's got talent. Stop by and check...it...out! I've got the best Jerky in town, but I'm saving it. I might let some go for, say, 9900G. How about it? Yes. No. You must be really hungry! Here you go! Didn't think so... You strong! Here! Take! Got 3 each of the following: Petals, Fangs, Horns, and Feathers !! You plenty strong! Take! Got a "Third Eye!" Got a Power Ring! Sealed with a mysterious energy... Something inside is reacting to the pendant. Remove the object? Yes. No. Got a White Vest! White Vest's power up! Received White Mail! Got a Black Vest! Black Vest's power up! Received Black Mail! If only I had some Jerky... What a great meal I could make... I see you have some Jerky! Will you sell it for 10,000 G? Yes. I'll give it to you. Not interested. All right. Here's 10,000 G! You're giving it away? I thought there were no kind people left in this world! You can bet MY children are going to learn the value of sharing! Oh, well... Okay! Let's do some cooking! You're interested in the Moon Stone? Well, someone simply left it here. Seems important to you folks. Why don't it take it! Moon Stone? Never heard of it! Marle: Is this the Tyrano Lair? Lucca: Is this the Tyrano Lair? Robo: Looks like the Reptites' castle. Frog: The Tyrano Lair? Ayla: What!! Why Reptites' castle here? Magus: A prehistoric castle? Marle: This must have been pushed underground when Lavos fell to earth. Lucca: When Lavos fell, this became buried beneath the earth. Robo: This must have been pushed underground when Lavos fell to earth. Frog: When Lavos came hither, this place was buried beneath the land! Ayla: Lavos fall and Tyrano Lair buried underground forever! Magus: Prehistoric castle... Marle: THIS's the Rainbow Shell! Lucca: The Rainbow Shell! Robo: The Rainbow Shell. Frog: Behold! The Rainbow Shell! Ayla: Pretty! Big! This Rainbow Shell? Can eat? Magus: Rather drab, isn't it? Marle: It's heavy! We won't be able to carry it. Better get some help at the castle! Lucca: It's too heavy. Let's get some help at Guardia Castle. Robo: It weighs a ton! We must get help from Guardia Castle. Frog: Heavy, it be! Let's seek the King's counsel! Ayla: Heavy heavy! Can't carry. Castle people help? Magus: Who's going to carry this for us? SOLDIER: It's heavy... But we'll manage! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Okay, everyone! Lift!!! The monster dropped a Shelter! Got a Speed Tab! Toma's crumpled note: "Those holes! What if I jump into them on purpose? Yes! I'll start back at the beginning, and..." 5) ******************************************************************************************** LARA: Oh, hi Crono. Lucca's off at Leene Square with her father, Taban, unveiling her new invention. LARA: Lucca and Taban only care about their silly toys! LARA: What a beautiful day! I'll finish the housework and take a walk. Lucca: Hmmm, two-legged, walking humanoid robots are virtually impossible to create. Oh! Crono! Hurry up and escort the Princess to the castle! TABAN: Here's what we earned today! LARA: You're so thoughtful. TABAN: You're Lucca's friend right? If you see Lucca, tell her to drop by! TABAN: Hey, Lucca! TABAN: I'd like to see more of her. I've been making items she'd like. TABAN: Oh you're just in time. TABAN: It's my finest work! The ultimate in defense for my, daughter! Lucca: Did I make it back...to that moment? "6/24/990AD Dad promised to go hiking with me, but blew me off again, due to his work. I hate science! I loathe it!" LARA: What IS this thing? Taban says to keep away from it, but it's so dusty. I'll just... LARA: Dear me! My skirt...it's...I'm STUCK! Lucca! Lucca, HELP! Lucca: I can't pull it out. LARA: !! Lucca! Enter the password! Stop this machine! Lucca: But I don't know it, mommie! LARA: Oh no...! Help!! 7/1/990 AD I wish I hadn't heard what the doctor told dad. Mommie's legs...they're... 7/15/990 AD If only I knew more about machines. Then mom would still be okay. If only I... 7/2/990 AD I feel like I've learned something! I'll study machines now. There'll be no more accidents around here. Enter password. Lucca: Thank goodness, mommie. LARA: Lucca... Lucca... The password is... The name of my lovely wife. Use it in an emergency. -Taban Lucca: I'll modify the Sun Stone to extract its energy... Lucca: ...then, we'll just vacuum pack it into a cartridge...

R-64Y: Affirmative. Robo: A defect...I'm a defect... R-64Y: You shame us! You must be destroyed. Lucca: Wh, what are you doing! Marle: Robo! Crono, Robo's getting whipped! Robo: No, stop! These are my brothers! Lucca: But they'll destroy you! Marle: You'll break down! Robo: Please stop. Pl...ease... Robo! R-64Y: Now to take care of the intruders... Lucca: No! Let's take care of YOU! Marle: You cocky boxes of bolts! You'll never get away with this! They trashed him! Lucca: He's in bad shape... I'm not sure I can fix him. Lucca: Let's get him back to Proto Dome for now...

I too, had no idea until I found this... CHANCELLOR: It's an ancestral will. It says, "Unveil the Rainbow Shell to the people at the Millienal Fair." KING: What are you talking about?! We have no family heirlooms here! CHANCELLOR: So this is a forgery? Why does the defendant deny the people a glimpse of the "Rainbow Shell?" Because he no longer HAS it!! He sold the heirloom for cash! Witness, please! CHANCELLOR: Wh, what is it, Nadia? We are conducting a trial here. Marle: Father! KING: Nadia! The Chancellor is trying to frame me! CHANCELLOR: He hurls insults! Confirm your innocence with proof! Marle: Proof? CHANCELLOR: Yes. If he hasn't sold the heirloom, it should be in the castle. Show me the "Rainbow Shell," and I'll accept his innocence, heh, heh... KING: Chancellor! What kind of trickery is this?! CHANCELLOR: Remove them! MERCHANT: I confess. I bought it from the king. He said he needed the cash. KING: Liar!! I've never even seen you before! JUDGE: Order in the court! MERCHANT: Heh heh. Was I convincing? CHANCELLOR: Perfect! JUDGE: Members of the jury... If he is guilty, stand to the left. If innocent, stand to the right. Guilty. Not guilty. JUDGE: The verdict is in! Guilty!!! CHANCELLOR: The Guardia line ends here. This domain shall be mine! Take him away! Wait!!! CHANCELLOR: Who is it?! Marle: FATHER!!! KING: Nadia! CHANCELLOR: Princess! Control yourself! CHANCELLOR: You're too late! The King has been found guilty. Even kings are subject to our laws. Marle: No, this was a set up! CHANCELLOR: Nonsense! The King's a crook! Marle: But the treasure is right here! CHANCELLOR: IMPOSSIBLE!! Marle: Your little scheme is over, Chancellor! CHANCELLOR: Grrr...I mean...uh... Marle: Huh? CHANCELLOR: Hee hee hee! It's not the plot it think! I'm here to avenge my ancestors! CHANCELLOR: Super, ultra, presto... TRANSFORM-O!!!!!! Marle: Father... I... KING: No, don't say it. I was wrong to be so stubborn. Marle: No, I didn't even think about how you felt. Um... I know it in my heart, but the words just come out wrong. KING: I too, have that problem. I thought you left me, but realized that it was I, who abandoned you. Marle: But I'm here now. We'll talk about everything that's happened. About Crono, and mother, and... KING: Your mother... How sad! It has taken me so long to understand what Aliza meant with her last words. "Someday when Nadia grows up, she will bring her beloved to meet you. Welcome him warmly. It will be a day you remember forever." Marle: You...heard her last words? KING: Of course! You were so young! You ran around saying "Daddy, it's fun having all my favorite people here!" Seeing you so happy, she felt reassured, and she left us quite peacefully. Marle: So that's how it was... KING: Yes, why? Marle: I used to call you "Daddy?" KING: You did. Marle: I'm sorry...Daddy. I'm really sorry for doubting you. 6) ******************************************************************************************* ELDER: Lavos is gone, so the Gate will shut. Return now, or you'll be lost in time. Marle: Let's go back in time and save Crono! Marle: Don't it care? Marle: Come on! Frog: 'Tis necessary that I return and protect Queen Leene. Ayla: Kino wait for me. Robo: This really is the last we will see of each other. Ayla: Ayla go home now. Good luck all! Frog: Fare thee well! Robo: Goodbye...everyone. Marle: You're all so heartless! Lucca: It's a fate we can't escape. Someday we will all pass away. Marle...... ELDER: Hey there! ELDER: They've all... Have they all left? ELDER: I forgot to give them this. ... ...Oh well. ELDER: They dropped this! ... ...Oh well... KING: We've been looking for you, Crono. Where did you take my daughter? Marle: Father! Stop this! Marle: Daddy, don't! Marle: Crono hasn't done a thing! KING: She says Crono has been a perfect gentleman, but... KING: What do you think, Chancellor? CHANCELLOR: Crono's deeds have had an enormous impact on the kingdom! KING: Pierre, what do you think? PIERRE: I think Crono's been keeping himself...rather busy! Marle: Chancellor, how could you?! Marle: And just WHAT are you saying, Pierre! Marle: Please! Just listen to me! We had to... KING: ...save the future, right? Marle: Huh?? DOAN: You saved the future, and gave us hope. KING GUARDIA: You fought Magus's troops, and brought peace to the kingdom in the year 600. KINO: Crono beat Reptites! Marle: Wh, what's going on here? Marle: Lucca! You brought them here, didn't you? KING GUARDIA: Our kinsmen told me all about itr incredible mission. Marle: Kinsmen?! You mean these're MY ancestors...and descendants? KING: Here I was fussing about my kingdom, and my daughter, and you were saving past, present and future! KING: Now, for a true victory parade! Tonight we celebrate...you! CHANCELLOR: B, but your majesty, what victory? We have never fought anyone! KING GUARDIA: Do you have any children, Chancellor? CHANCELLOR: Y, yes, of course. KING GUARDIA: Then our victory is their freedom! Your children, and theirs as well, now live in a world that knows hope. CHANCELLOR: Ow, oww! KING GUARDIA XXI: Yes, he's real. KING GUARDIA: Now Marle, go out and enjoy the last night of the fair! Marle: Father! What's wrong with the townspeople!? KING: Where have you been, Nadia? First, calm down. And why those clothes? Marle: Everybody keeps saying that! What do you mean? KING: What ARE you babbling about? You needn't keep dressing that way! KING: You're just in time! We found this 400 year old wedding album in the treasury. Marle: ??? Garble...gurgle...choke...hack... Lucca: Marle! No! Tell me you didn't... Marle: Nooo! This can't be!! Come along with Crono, our Hero. Come on! It's the last night of the fair! Princess Nadia is finally home! At last, Guardia is back to normal! It's a moonlight parade! This is fantastic! The princess is gorgeous! Don't get me wrong, of course you are too. LARA: What a dreamy night... Thank you darling. LARA: Honey, don't just be a sack of potatoes! Dance with me! LARA: Crono, the King says YOU saved the future! Wait 'till I tell my friends! TABAN: Yum! Lemonade sure tastes great outdoors! TABAN: Crono, have a sip! You're the Hero today. MOM: Have you seen Crono? He was really looking forward to this fair! Where do you suppose he is? MOM: YOU saved us all?! That's nice, dear, but I wish you spent more time around the house. It's a real problem when the person who's in charge of the cat is gone! MELCHIOR: Not much business in weapons anymore. But I like it that way. Lucca: Well everyone, this is it. Frog: Each to thine time. Robo: The Gate has grown weak... Lucca: We've got to say our goodbyes before the Gate closes. Marle: You're all leaving? Ayla: Crono was strong! Marle too! Ayla have fun!! Marle: You're my distant ancestor. So you'd better have tough kids or I'll be in trouble! KINO: Heh, heh! No worry. Ayla VERY strong! Marle: Right! Marle: Hey...what do you mean by that? Ayla: Kino dummie! We go now! Frog: 'Tis a feisty crowd! But they are thine kin, and 'tis of consequence. Queen Leene awaits. Your Majesty, we too shall take our leave. Marle: Mr. Frog... Frog: ... Long farewells ne'er were necessary. Marle: Right! Besides, actions speak louder than words! Lucca: Yeah. Don't these things end with the princess kissing the frog? Marle: So...you're going to search for Schala? Robo: Lucca, I will miss you. Marle: What's wrong Lucca? Aren't you going to say goodbye to Robo? Robo: She knows. Marle: Knows...what? Lucca: ...... Robo was born in a bleak future. When we defeated Lavos, we changed history. Robo...may not exist in the future. Robo: Ha ha. Please relax. The new future has a place for me! Lucca: Darn it, Robo! Don't pretend you don't care when you're really sad! It just makes things worse! Robo: ...... Lucca, YOU have taught me these emotions. Thank you. Marle: Tears don't become you, Lucca! Robo'll be there in the new future! Robo: Good...bye. Robo: Caution! Oil has washed over my sight sensors. Sight diminished... Marle: I guess this wraps things up. SOLDIER: Oh, Princess, the King asks for your presence. Marle: Time travel...how exhausting! Lucca: We should dismantle the Epoch. Its job is finished. MOM: You naughty thing, come back here! MOM: Look, Crono! Your cat's running away because you haven't been feeding it! MOM: Hey, come back here! Marle: Oh, great! Crono, that Gate will never open again! Lucca: Well it looks like we have no choice but to go after them! Marle: Go after them?! But the Gate's... Marle: Lucca, don't turn off your brain, yet! Lucca: I forgot! We have a Time Machine! Nya ha ha! Lucca: Do you remember that talk we had? Marle: You mean about whether our lives flash by before we die? Lucca: Yeah. I get the feeling that the "Entity"is finally at rest. Marle: Yes, I feel that too... Lucca: I thought Lavos made the Gates... But I guess I was wrong. Marle: What do you mean? Lucca: I think a greater force wanted us to experience those events. Marle: What's up?! How did everyone get here? The Gate's been shut! Lucca: Heh heh, I tinkered with the Telepod. Marle: And made it into a time machine? Marle: You're the guy from the End of Time! GASPAR: You forgot the "Time Egg!" The "Time Egg" is used for... blah, blah, blah... etc, etc, etc... etc, etc, etc... etc, etc, etc... ... You got that? Marle: You mean we can get Crono back? GASPAR: Yes, that's possible. Marle: Th, that's why you're all here? Marle: Let's get Crono! Lucca: Why don't it stay here with your dad? Marle: But... Lucca: Don't worry! I'll bring the idiot back! Lucca: Trust me! Marle: I wonder how everyone is doing. Ayla: Give me "Time Egg!" GASPAR: Calm down. Rushing won't bring him back! Ayla: Ok, understand. Now hurry, give! Robo: Hey! He is escaping! Marle: What's going on, everyone? That "Time Egg" of his can bring HIM back! Lucca: Bring who back? You mean Crono? Yes. Marle: By the way, who...are you? Marle: He just took off. Lucca: Could that have been... Frog? Lucca: H, he's handsome! Lucca: Let's catch up with him! Lucca: Hey Frog! Why didn't you tell us you were a dish? KING: I have a gift for you, to commemorate this day, Princess Nadia. Marle: It's... KING: It's Nadia's Bell, which will replace the 400 year old Leene Bell. Henceforth, Nadia's Bell will proudly ring for lasting peace. Marle: It's beautiful! KING: Now, you can do the honors. Marle: Done! Marle: Huh?! H, hey Crono, help me! Marle: ?! H, help!! TABAN: Phew! Made it just in time! Shall I fire one off? KING: Uh, no Taban. Actually, I could really use your help... KING: I'm so happy! Now there's no reason for you to go away anymore. Marle: Daddy... I hate to say this but... I can't sit around doing nothing! KING: This is Nadia's Bell. It will ring out across the land. KING: Marle...where did you go? Could someone please lend me a hand? 7) ******************************************************************************************* Crono... ... Crono! Wake up, Crono! MOM: It's time to rise and shine! Dreams are for sleepers, son! MOM: Dear me! I'd forgotten how beautiful Leene's Bell sounds!

Just fine. Frog: Uh...aye! He be in fine health! Robo: Madam... Crono is...quite well. Ayla: ... Crono... okay. MOM: I hope he's behaving. Tell him to be good, all right? Marle: ... Listen, um... Lucca: ... Um, listen, I...um, I mean... Frog: ... Madam... Ayla: ... Marle: We'll just borrow this doll, okay? Lucca: We'd like to borrow this doll for a bit. Frog: By thy leave, mayhap we taketh this doll? Ayla: This, Crono's doll! Ayla borrow! Okay? Crono's Mom: Go right ahead, dear. Crono's Mom: Stay out of trouble, now! MOM: Crono! MOM: Crono!

MOM: Don't let life pass you by, dear! And say `Hi' to your parents! MOM: Goodness...! Lucca, is THIS one of your inventions? Robo: Greetings. I am Robo. Crono is my friend. MOM: My, how polite! Strange looking, but well behaved! Crono, you could learn a thing or two. MOM: Dear me...! Crono! How many times have I told you to keep your pets outside!! Frog: M, madam...! I am NOT a pet! Though I am...odd of figure, I am a master swordsman! MOM: It TALKS...! Er...I just thought, I mean... I'm terribly sorry, uh, Mr. Toad! Frog: NO! Mine name is... MOM: Yes, dear?

We can't keep sponging off my dad! Go out and get a job! Mwa, ha, ha... It's complete! I've done it! <$0D> ounces of cat food. Hard to believe Guardia is now 1000 years old, and our King is the XXXIII descendant to the throne! But how can he rule a kingdom when he can't even control his own daughter?! There used to be a cathedral in the woods to the west. I wonder what became of it? ELAINE: If only Fritz would return. I'd ask for nothing more! ELAINE: I guess he's forgotten me. Sometimes a mysterious whirlpool appears in the ocean near here. What could cause that? It's 10 G to Porre. Hop aboard? Yes. No. Lodging is 10 G. Check in? No, thanks. Been to the fair yet? Yes. No. Well get going, then!! You'll have to wait a thousand years for another Millennial Fair! Wasn't that a trip?! I spent all my Silver Points at the `Tent of Horrors!' Are you buying? Sure. Sorry. Remember the earthquake we just had? Yes. No. No? Airhead, huh? Well, never mind. We've been having too many. Something's wrong... Hope the `Big One' isn't coming! The soldiers say the Chancellor's been acting funny. Thanks! I'll play you a song. See ya around. Come on in! Take your bloody time...! I'd rather serve you than go to the fair, anyway... Why is there a different guard on duty at the castle every time I go there? Hi! Do you know about our establishment? No. Yes. This is the Mayor's Education Center. Think of it as a workshop for beginners! You can take the things you find here! Scattered throughout this world are places where you can save your game. Save whenever you can, especially in unfamiliar or dangerous areas! That's just a replica. Record your journey whenever you find the real McCoy! You'll find more of them in riskier areas. Also, remember that you can log in anywhere on the World Map! Need a brief Weapons and Items seminar? Yes. No. Weapons include swords, bows, and guns. Some weapons can only be used by specific party members. You'll find a variety of armor for the head and body. Finally, there are numerous accessories with unique properties and effects. As you gain Power, swords will inflict greater damage. Bows and guns get more powerful as your Hit rate increases. You can walk while reading messages. But go too far, and you can miss them! Use the Y Button to move the Message/Battle window up or down. Want my advice? Yes. No. Ask the Mayor first. All right, I'll teach you about skills. Are you willing to learn? Yes. No. That's about it. Feel more confident? You've got potential! You'll learn a number of "Techniques" as you progress! "Techniques" are magic attacks that also utilize your weapons. You'll acquire them with discipline. My, my! You're so enthusiastic! Use this to help you get started! A gift of 300 G! Want to learn about damage in battle? Yes. No. Do you know about `Shelters?' They're quite useful! Yes. No. Use `Shelters' at Save Points, or on the World Map, to completely restore HP and MP. Some monsters have special attacks. Poison HP slowly decreases. Your attacks are weakened. Slow Increases the time between attacks. Sleep Lowers your guard. A good hit will wake you up again! Chaos Confuses you into attacking allies! A little tough on friendships! Blind You can't see too well... It's hard to hit enemies! Lock Can't use any "Techniques." Stop Immobilizes and disables you. In these situations your guard is down, and you'll sustain more damage. Use "Heal," or wait until the battle ends to heal automatically. Would you like to hear more? Yes. No. When your HP hits 0, you'll be disabled. Use "Revive" to restore yourself, but if everyone goes down, you're through. Be careful! Hold down the L and R Buttons to escape from battle! Know when to run! But you need to fight to grow strong! Now, about the Equip menu... Numbers next to the Sword and Shield icons indicate Attack and Defense power. The higher the number, the greater the power. "M. Def." indicates your ability to block magic attacks. If it's 10, then magic damage will be reduced by 10%. A star after any characteristic means it's at maximum strength. Huh, hey! FRITZ: D, Dad! Working hard? FRITZ: But, of course! R, right? ELAINE: Y, yes. Well, all right... Crono... I'm in your debt. FRITZ: Now Crono, down to business. Please, buy whatever you like! FRITZ: Welcome, <$1B>! FRITZ: Thanks! Oh! Hello! What can I do for you? Visit our stall in Leene Square! Elaine's down at the pier again? That Fritz! Where could he be? FRITZ: Come on in!! FRITZ: Crono!! I owe you one! You saved my skin back there. FRITZ: Man, was I up the creek! I went off on a buying trip, and ended up getting jailed with a bunch of thieves! The officials planned to execute me without a trial! What has gotten into them? ELAINE: We're forever in your debt! Thank you, again! FRITZ: Hope my Dad never hears about this. Get 10 Mid Ethers! Not enough cash! Thank you very much. Millennial Fair? What? Are you crazy?! What nonsense! `Where am I?' Are you stupid? THIS is the kingdom of Guardia! We're battling Magus's army. You DID know that, right? Of course. No. Then shut your pie hole! Lovely... We NEED more ignorant strangers around here... The Magus's army destroyed Zenan Bridge, so the south continent is inaccessible. What a relief! They finally found Queen Leene wandering up in the mountains! She must be glad to be home! The Queen has been through a lot! She's babbling about the oddest thing. Everyone was worried! The King freaked when the Queen took off. We all thought Magus had grabbed her. Thank goodness she's safe! TOMA: Are you a stranger here, too? I'm Toma, the explorer. If you're buying, I'll tell you a story. How about it? Sure. No. TOMA: Thanks! It's about the missing Queen. She disappeared while visiting that cathedral to the west, and... Beg your pardon? WHAT?! They FOUND her? Never mind... TOMA: I was sure there was something fishy about that cathedral... TOMA: So, you think I'm a beggar, huh?! Well, scram! TOMA: How rude... That'll be 10 G. Register? Yes. No. Welcome! A Millennial Fair? Here? What ARE you talking about? It's the year 600, and the 21st King of Guardia reigns. We've been at war for years. When will it end? I'm Banta, the blacksmith. I'm forging a bell for the King to present to his beloved Queen Leene! I lost it when the Queen disappeared. I just couldn't keep working on the bell. But now it's back to business as usual! My husband wants a daughter who is as intelligent as she is beautiful. I had almost completed the bell when Magus's army wounded our King. I've lost the will to work. I hope this bell will ring in a new world of peace. No window shoppers! Whaddaya want? Thanks. See ya. You're going to fight Magus's army? Wonderful! But remember to equip yourself with the weapons you buy! Marle: How do we get home? Lucca: Your Highness, er, Princess...we... Marle: Please call me Marle! Lucca: Well then, Marle... Observe! Marle: Wow! Marle: Lucca! You're amazing! Lucca: Ain't it the truth! Lucca: Oh, um...I mean... Marle: Enough with the false modesty! You have a real gift! I would trade my royal ancestry for your genius in a heartbeat! Lucca: Well, if you say so... Lucca: Anyway, I call this thing a `Gate.' It's a kind of portal, that takes you to the same location in a different era. Gates are very unstable, so I used the principal behind my Telepod device... Lucca: ...to create a "Gate Key." Now we can use them as we please. Marle: But why did this Gate suddenly appear? Lucca: Either the Telepod had something to do with it, or...something else made it. Marle: This is getting pretty weird. Let's at least head back to our own time! Lucca: All right! Coming, Crono? Is it true? I heard Magus's army has taken the bridge! They say the King has been wounded! Is this the end? No, the Hero has appeared! He'll save us! Have you heard?! The legendary Hero has appeared! He went to see the King. Now Magus's army hasn't a chance! Wearing the `Hero Medal,' the chosen one has appeared! We're saved! I heard Magus's army is at the bridge. We're in trouble now! Frog: Awake'th, Crono! Cider please! The Hero has brought us peace, and I have delivered the bell to the King. What more could we ask for? Hurrah for Guardia!!! Let's toast our land! Now we'll have peace and prosperity. Yahoooo!! Somebody STOP me!!! Hurrah to the Hero and Guardia! They've built a Town Square to celebrate peace. And they've named it after Queen Leene. What a happy occasion! Let's get crazy! Let's wage peace from now on! My dream has come true. Peace is ours! Crono!! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono!! Marle: Hmm... Uh... Crono... Crono...! Lucca: Hold it, Crono! Crono...! Robo: It's too dangerous, Crono. Crono! Frog: N...nooooo! Crono..., Crono...! Ayla: Crono! Nooo!!! Crono! Marle: Uhh... Lucca: Unghh... Robo: ...?! Frog: Huh...? Ayla: Fuga! Something is reacting to the pendant. Take the item inside? Yes. No. This box has been in the family for generations. Open it, and you may have what's inside. Blue Vest powers up! Found Blue Mail! Found a Blue Vest! Sealed by a mysterious force... Crono... Crono! Crono!!! SOLDIER: It's time to rise and shine! We have a little surprise for you! SOLDIER: Your stay of execution has been cancelled. We must now carry out itr sentence. Hold it right there! ROBOTS: Hey it's...! ROBOTS: ...the MAN! THE MAN: Like, thanks for the intro, babe! THE MAN: You lowlifes can call me Johnny. Now listen up. Part of an old highway leads through these ruins. Think you can beat me in a bike race? JOHNNY: Use that "Jet Bike" and... don't chicken out, babe! ROBOT: The Man rides like a roller coaster! ROBOT: Winning does that to Johnny's hair. ROBOT: You're worthless! ROBOT: Give it up! Go home! ROBOT: J...Johnny lost! ROBOT: Hey, you're not half bad! JOHNNY: ... Do you know how to ride? Yes. No. JOHNNY: Need some pointers? Yes. No. JOHNNY: All right, listen up. The gas is on auto, so there's only one speed...FAST! Use the Control Pad to steer. Press the B Button for a Turbo Boost. I'll give you 3 of them, but it takes a moment to recharge between boosts! Check your position at the bottom of the screen. Now show me what you got, babe! JOHNNY: YOU beat me? I don't get it! You can challenge me anytime. We'll ride the wind, babe! JOHNNY: My grannie rides faster than that! Hop on again, if you think you can handle it, babe. JOHNNY: Where's spike head? I only ride with him. JOHNNY: Ha! What losers! You CAN walk your way across but that's monster city! Ride again, if you think you can handle it, chump. JOHNNY: Hey! Looks like you have a neat gadget there! Ask Rx-xR how to use it. RX-XR: Greetings, lifeforms! I am Rx-xR, the Log Keeper. I'll record your 3 fastest times. There are two ways to race Johnny. Which do you prefer? RX-XR: That's a new High Score!! Impressive! 1 <$0E> 2 <$0E> 3 <$0E> RX-XR: Unbelievable! You broke the 1500 point barrier!! This is for you! You got a PowerTab! RX-XR: Amazing! Take this! Receive a Full Tonic! Received an Ether!

RX-XR: Beautiful! Over 1300 points! Let me slap some of these on ya! Receive 5 Mid Ethers. Marle: Wh, what's this? Lucca: It's in bad shape... ...but it appears to be a humanoid robot! Incredible! Lucca: ... I think I can fix it. Marle: What?! It might attack us! Lucca: I'll make sure it won't. Machines aren't capable of evil... ...humans make them that way. Marle: Lucca, you...pity them don't it? Lucca: Let me get to work now, okay? Lucca: Right, that does it! I'm going to give it some juice! ROBOT: ...... Marle: Good morning! ROBOT: Mo...... Good morning, mistress. What is your command? Marle: I'm not itr `mistress.' I'm Marle! ...and this is Crono... ...and Lucca, here, fixed you! ROBOT: Understood. Madam Lucca fixed me. Lucca: Just Lucca will do. ROBOT: Impossible. That would be rude. Lucca: Look, I hate formal titles! Don't it, Marle? Marle: Hate 'em! ROBOT: I understand, Lucca. Lucca: All right! Now what's your name? ROBOT: Name? Ah, my serial number. It is R66-Y. Lucca: R66-Y? Cool! Marle: No! That won't do at all! Marle: Come on Crono, let's give him a better name! Marle: Robo... Robo...that's perfect! Marle: Your new name is Robo, okay? ROBOT: I am... Robo. Data storage complete. Lucca: Hey Robo, why aren't there any people here? Robo: ...... What... What has happened here? Robo: There WERE many humans and others of my kind in this dome. Lucca: I think something awful happened here... Robo: ...... It would appear so... Robo: But how is it that you survived? Lucca: We came through a time warp from the year 1000. Marle: While exploring Arris Dome we learned there was a Gate here. Lucca: We found you when we came looking for the Gate! Marle: But the door to the inner chambers is locked, so we're out of luck... Robo: The power is off. Robo: If we go to the factory up north, I can pass through security and activate this dome's generator. Marle: You'd do that for us? Robo: You repaired me. Now it's my turn to help you. But the generator won't run for long, so someone must stay behind to open the door while the power's on. Lucca: Then Marle or I will stay. Who will stay behind? Marle Lucca Marle: Okay. Please be careful, Crono! Lucca: Right! I'll handle things here! Marle: Hi! I was getting SO bored. May I take Lucca's place? Yes. No. Lucca: Looks like you need my genius after all! Yes. No. Marle: Okay, I'll wait here. Lucca: Oh, all right... Marle: The door won't budge. Robo: C...can you r...repair...me? Lucca: Shh, don't talk. Robo: You...are trying to save our world? Lucca: I don't know how far we'll get, but that's the plan. Anyway Robo, what are you going to do when you're repaired? Robo: What am I...going to do? Lucca: Yeah. I mean, what plans do you have for the future? Robo: Lucca, no one has ever asked me that before! Robo: Good morning. Marle: Robo! You're all right!! Marle: Lucca, you're incredible! Lucca: I hope I never have to do that again... Robo: Lucca, I have made up my mind. I want to go with you... Marle: Pardon? Robo: There is nothing left for me here. Together, maybe we can give this planet of ours a chance. Lucca: Then let's go! The Gate's up ahead!! Lucca: Hang on to your shorts! Use the Enertron? Yes. No. HP/MP restored! But you're still hungry! RX-XR: Change race mode? Yes. No. RX-XR: Well shut me down! You made over 2300 pts. This calls for a prize! Oh yeaahh!!! 5 Full Ethers!!! Which do you prefer? Mode 1 with Turbo boost. Mode 2 without boost. L & R change perspective. Mode 1 with Turbo boost. Mode 2 without boost. L & R change perspective. Marle: Wow, sunlight! This must be the sun's favorite spot. Lucca: It's never dark in here. Robo: The sun shines 24 hrs. a day here. Frog: This be the spot. 'Tis warm. Ayla: Is cozy! Sunshine good! Magus: The Sun Keep... Where the sun never sets. Leave the "Moon Stone?" Yes. No. Marle: Now, let's hop aboard Epoch! Lucca: Well, back to Epoch. Robo: Let's return to my era in Epoch. Frog: How long shall we leave it hither? Ayla: ... No change. Magus: Now, let us go. Lucca: It's gone!! The Moon Stone is gone! It looks like it's been gone for ages. Let's try another time period. Lucca: It isn't here either. I wonder if someone from this time period has taken it? Marle: It's not here! The Moon Stone is gone! It's been gone for ages. Let's check out another time. Marle: Not here either... Did someone from this age take it? Robo: It isn't here!! The Moon Stone isn't anywhere. It wasn't taken recently, though. Let's go back in time a bit. Robo: Doesn't look like it's here either. Has someone from this era taken it? Frog: The Moon Stone, 'tis gone! Yet it hast not been taken recently. Let us return in time. Frog: Not here either... Hast someone from this time taken it? Ayla: ... Gone...rock not here? But plenty dust. Someone take long time ago. Ayla: Not here too. Someone take! We find! Magus: ... The Moon Stone is gone. ... Seems it's been gone for 1300 years or so. Let's get back to the present. Magus: It hasn't been gone for long. Let's take a look around. Lucca: Amazing! With THIS much energy I can make a powerful weapon! Let's go back to my house now! Lucca: This really is the Sun Stone! With this energy, I can make an incredible weapon! Let's get back to my house quickly! Marle: Acck! This is amazing! Lucca can surely put this to good use! Let's show it to her! Robo: My sensors read high energy levels. Lucca may be able to use this. Let us show it to her. Frog: T, 'tis amazing...! What might Lucca create with it? She must see this! Ayla: Wow! The sun! Lucca maybe use? Bring Lucca here! Magus: The Sun Stone has regained its luster but... How might we harness its energy? Robo: Analysis complete. Please follow me. Who enters here unbidden? Oh... Welcome home R-66Y. Or should I say, Prometheus?! You dare to defile this place with humans? I haven't seen them in ages. Let me...welcome them. Come closer... Let's see just what you can do... Not bad...for humans. But can you find your way to me? 300 yrs. ago the Lavos disaster greatly changed the planet. At this rate, humans will die out from pure despair. Don't it understand? This planet would be peaceful if there were no humans around. And yet you still want to fight? Why? Listen well, humans. Lavos's children will one day have to leave to seek new planets, and prey. This world COULD sustain them...if humans were not around... We robots will create a new order... A nation of steel, and pure logic. A true paradise! Our "Species" will replace you... So stop your foolish struggle, and succumb to the sleep of eternity... You did well to come this far. I am the Mother Brain of the R-Y series factory. Come Prometheus, you must once again join us. I'll reset itr circuitry and erase your memories. Then we'll dispose of these filthy humans. Robo: ...... Robo: I'm sorry but... I cannot afford to lose anything else... Not my precious memories, or my irreplaceable friends. You would betray ME, to stay with these humans? You would turn against the family of robots? Robo: Humans have taught me much. Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, and Ayla... I will not betray my friends. Ho...! Fu, hu, hu... This is rich...! Don't make me laugh! YOU, have emotions?! I'll show you just how "human" you've become! P...Pro...me...theus... W...why...? Robo: This computer can give us data about the Geno Dome. Door Conveyor Belt Guard Machine Doll Enter the "Dust Chute?" Yes. No. Found a Power Tab! Found a Magic Tab! Robo: What shall we examine first? To open locked doors, simply charge the energy pods beside them. Energize first, in the pod to your left, then enter the pod next to a locked door. The robot guarding the figurine will block anyone that tries to pass. But if you place 2 guards in front of each other, they will short circuit. Return the broken guard to the room upstairs. The belt conveyor to the right can be reversed with a switch above it. You must obtain the 2 figurines on this floor to fight the Mother Brain. Do not leave with them. Robo: Anything else? Yes. No. Robo: It's too well guarded. We have to destroy the central computer. Marle: What IS this?! We have to do something! Lucca: Wh, what the...?! Let's help them!! Frog: What be this?! We must rescue them! Ayla: !! People there! We help! Magus: Hmm... A human processing plant? Robo: Let us stop the machine! Marle: Aaa! Lucca: Aack! Frog: Arrgh! Ayla: !! Robo: All machines in the factory have been shut off for good. Marle: Robo...... Lucca: Robo...... Frog: Robo...... Ayla: Robo?? Magus: Hmph! We're leaving! Robo: Let's go...! ROBOT: Welcome home, Prometheus. Robo: ... ... Atropos...? ATROPOS: Yes, it's been awhile Prometheus. You can stop pretending now and join us. Marle: Pretending? Lucca: Pretending? Frog: This has been a guise? Ayla: ?? Magus: ...... ATROPOS: Mwa, ha... Unlike the other R-series, Prometheus had a special task. To live with humans and study them as a species... Marle: No...! Lucca: That's a lie! Frog: Impossible...! Ayla: What you say?! Ayla no understand. Magus: I see... ATROPOS: Tell them, Prometheus... Robo: ...... ATROPOS: Now step back Prometheus. We'll get rid of these humans, then go see Mother... Ayla: ...... ATROPOS: What are you doing Prometheus? Robo: I won't allow you to hurt them! ATROPOS: ...... You are indeed defective. They have tampered with you. I'll destroy them, then fix you. Robo: Atropos... you've changed. ATROPOS: Indeed. Mother remade me to eliminate humans more efficiently! Step back, Prometheus! Robo: My name is Robo. ATROPOS: Prometheus!! Robo: Wait! Stand back and leave this to me. System down... Delete program... ATROPOS: P, Prometheus...? It's been...ages...! Robo: Atropos...? ATROPOS: I'm damaged? What happened? Robo: Atropos!! ATROPOS: My memory bank... Mother must have done something nasty when she reprogrammed me... Partial memory...restored... I'm sorry...Prometheus... Lucca: Save your strength! I'll patch you up. ATROPOS: It isn't possi...ble... Vital functions are do...wn... M...memory bank damaged... Robo: Atropos...! ATROPOS: This...is for you... You can...plug this...into your circuits... Please...take care...of it... Good...bye...Pro...metheus... Atropos' Ribbon ups Robo's Speed by 3 and Magic Defense by 10. All functions are down... Got the Terra Arm and the Crisis Arm! Found a Speed Tab! 8) ******************************************************************************************* The pendant begins to glow...! Marle: Eeeek! Lucca: Yeoouch...! Marle: There's no way the Chancellor can reach us here. Marle: But, where are we...? Lucca: The civilization here seems so...advanced... Marle: Like we're in another world. A strange crest is engraved here. It's sealed by some kind of power. If you're looking for food, you lose! You light up my life...no, really! Truce Dome? Never heard of it. This is Trann Dome. What's this? A plant? What's that? Kingdom...? Whaddaya talking about...? Never seen anything like this... You'll find some food at Arris Dome to the northeast. But only if you get past Lab 16... The beasts there don't react to weapons, like guns and swords. So, there are people in Arris Dome, too! This is an Enertron. You get a full night's sleep in a few seconds, but it still leaves you hungry. This edible?... Wheeze...pant... Finally got through the ruins. I brought the sapling that sprang from the seed! Amazing what you can do when you think you're gonna expire... Will you rest in the Enertron? Yes. No. HP/MP restored! But you're still hungry. OLD MAN: You there, where're you from?... Lucca: We came from the laboratories to the west. OLD MAN: W, what?! OLD MAN: Hey, we've got people who crossed the ruins! Say again!? You're joking!? OLD MAN: So there ARE people who can beat up those freaky mutants... OLD MAN: Pardon me. I'm Doan. I'm the descendant of the Director of this Info center. In the basement, there's a huge computer and a storage center for food. But we can't get through 'cause of the robot guards. It's a pity. DOAN: Are you going down below? Marle: Of course! DOAN: But no one's ever returned from there. Lucca: Gotta try, right? DOAN: ...... It's nice to see such spirited young people for a change. DOAN: Careful, now. And come back alive. DOAN: Hey fellas! Look! The seed's sprouted! The door with the crest? Dynamite won't budge it. There's an old factory site called Proto Dome to the east. Can't get near it 'cause there's a bunch of lunatic robots in the area. Since you've come, we've gained the courage to live. You can reach the continent to the south through the Sewer Access, but stay off of "Death Peak." There's an old man living in a dome near "Death Peak." Talk about crackpots! Did you really come from the dome to the west?... Yes. No. I see... Not that I really care... A time portal? What in the...? Well, guess we can get our own information using our computer! Thanks a lot... You've given me hope. Wonder what kind of fruit this is going to bear? Daddy's gonna bring us some food! Daddy's on a trip. My husband went down to the food storage area below. I haven't seen him since... But I haven't given up. This child, and this seed are still growing. Who are you? Hey! It's those people again! Hey! It's them! Lucca: So this is the info center! Lucca: Good! The computer's still operational! If we run a search on time warps, we might find our Gate! Lucca: Here! Got it! Lucca: East of Arris Dome... Lucca: That would be Proto Dome, I believe. Marle: Leave it to Lucca! I'm beginning to think you could find anything with this device! Marle: Say, what does this button do? Lucca: 1999 A.D.? Visual record of The Day of Lavos... Marle: Wh, what...IS that? Lucca: Lavos?... Is that what's destroying our world?! Marle: We must truly be in the future... Marle: No! NO WAY! I refuse to believe it!! Marle: This... Marle: ...this can't be the way the world ends... Lucca: ...... Marle: Crono... Marle: There's only one thing we can do! We must change history! Just like Crono did when he saved me! Marle: Okay, Lucca? Marle: Okay, Crono?!! Lucca: I...guess so... Lucca: We can't just go back to our world and live comfortably after seeing this... Lucca: It was a stroke of luck that we were sent here through that Gate. Lucca: Crono, let's go! Okay! No... Lucca: Come on! Show Marle what you're made of! Marle: Crono! Lucca! Together we can do this! Lucca: Let's take a second and do some more research on Lavos' activities back in our time period! Lucca: Next stop, Proto Dome! DOAN: You're back! DOAN: Well? What did you discover? Marle: This is...our future! DOAN: ??? MAN: Who cares, where's the food?! Marle: This is all we could get... DOAN: Seeds...? Lucca: You don't know how long the Enertron'll hold out. Those seeds might be your only hope. Marle: You have to stay alive! And so do we! DOAN: Huh... You're strange... You're different from us... Marle: I think it's because we're healthy! DOAN: Heal-thy? Got a nice ring to it! We'll try growing the seeds... KID: What're those? DOAN: They just might be our future... DOAN: Heading for Proto Dome? Go by way of Laboratory 32, and take this with ya. DOAN: It's a key to the Jet Bike in lab 32. I used to ride it when I was young. Hope it still works... DOAN: They've got more powerful robots over there. Take care, and stay...healthy! My husband...he's...he's...gone... But he left me precious gifts! The seeds...and our child. Daddy's sure taking his time. Robo: Where are we? OLD MAN: Ah, more guests...! Marle: Say...where are we? Lucca: What do you mean, "guest"...? And, WHERE are we? OLD MAN: Why, this is "The End of Time," of course! All lost travelers in time wind up here! Now, where are you from? Lucca: We're from Guardia Kingdom, circa 1000 A.D. Robo: I come from 2300 A.D... OLD MAN: When 4 or more beings step into a time warp, the Conservation of Time theorem states that they will turn up... ...at the space-time coordinates of least resistance. Here. Disturbances in the space-time continuum have increased recently. Far too many folks are just popping in here... I fear something is having a powerful effect on the very fabric of time... Lucca: Which means one of us has to remain here. Marle: Stay HERE? ALONE? OLD MAN: It is pretty bleak here... But not to worry. All time periods connect here... You can visit your friends whenever you wish! But you can never travel in groups greater than 3... Robo: So, one of us must stay. Lucca: Who'll it be, Crono? Marle: Decide, Crono! Lucca: Now don't it go getting any ideas, mister! Robo: Please come for me whenever you need me. OLD MAN: You can instantly bring any person here into your party, should the need arise. OLD MAN: ...So there you have it. Don't forget. Press the Y Button to switch party members. Marle: How do we get back to our time? OLD MAN: You see those lovely pillars of light? Those hook you up to different eras. Once you've been through a Gate, you can always use it to come here. To use a Gate from here, step into the light and press the A Button. But beware the Gate which leads from that bucket... OLD MAN: That Gate leads to 1999 A.D... It leads to the "Day of Lavos"... Go there only if you're looking to achieve a shorter life span... Lavos will help you leave this mortal coil. OLD MAN: Hey. OLD MAN: Don't be in such a rush! Before you go, take a peek inside the room behind me! It's locked shut... OLD MAN: Well, well! People who lived long ago ALL enjoyed such powers... Now, I know you are itching to go ripping back and forth through time, but first you need to return to your era. And you must hurry. The longer you remain here, the harder it will be to change that which must be changed... Stop by whenever you're in the area! OLD MAN: Come see me anytime. Think of me as your guide. Will you take Crono? Yes. No. Marle: Take me too!! Yes. No. Marle: OKAY! Marle: Aw, come on! Lucca: Don't it need my brain power? Yes. No. Lucca: See! You DO need me! Lucca: Oh, get outta here! Robo: May I be of assistance? Yes. No. Robo: I'm ready, <$1B>! Robo: I shall be waiting for you. Frog: Need you not a swordsman?! Yes. No. Frog: OK, let's get going! Frog: Mine blade and skill may rust... Ayla: Ayla go. Big yawn here! Yes. No. Ayla: Ayla fight for world! Ayla: Take Ayla, Crono! Ayla: Take Ayla, <$1B>! Magus: Going my way? Yes. No. Magus: Now we've got a winning team! Magus: The weak always strive to be weaker... Go to "Day of Lavos" 1999 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Proto Dome" 2300 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Medina Village" 1000 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Mystic Mountain" 65,000,000 B. C.? Yes. No. Go to "Leene Square" 1000 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Truce Canyon" 600 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Guardia Forest" 1000 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Bangor Dome" 2300 A.D.? Yes. No. Go to "Tyran Fortress" 65,000,000 B. C.? Yes. No. Go to "Earthbound Island" 12,000 B. C.? Yes. No. Full speed ahead! Disembark Marle: Let's go! Lucca: Time for action, Epoch! Robo: Epoch ready for takeoff! Frog: High ho, Epoch!! Ayla: Epoch! Go!! Magus: Forward... Board the Epoch? Yes. No. Got any cash? Yes. No. You call this money? Oh well, I have some good stuff. Got nothing for you fools. Save money. It'll do ya good. That's my motto. Have any money? Yes. No. You sure this is money...? Oh, well, I have to lighten my inventory anyway. I hate wise guys! Save money, it'll do you good. It's what that guy who walked to the other dome used to say. OLD MAN: Hey, where's that healthy kid with the radical haircut? OLD MAN: ... This is terrible news... I have nothing to give you but this song. It's called ... "Memories of Crono" OLD MAN: I wish I could lend a hand... Marle: We're looking for the Guru of Time... Magus: Only the Guru of Time can help us now... Ayla: Ayla need Guru of Time. Search now! Robo: We are looking for the Guru of Time... OLD MAN: Hey, where have you been? OLD MAN: So that's your story... And just LOOK at you now... You've become quite formidable! Magus: Heh?... OLD MAN: The Guru of Time, eh...? Heard of him, of course, but what do you want with him? Marle: He knows how to bring Crono back... Frog: We've heard he might be the one to bring our Crono back... Ayla: He bring Crono back to life! He strong. Lucca: We believe he knows how to bring Crono back to life. OLD MAN: To bring back lost loved ones... It's what everyone wants... Crono must be proud... ...to have friends like you... OLD MAN: Here. Take this with you. Ayla: Egg! Ayla hungry, want eat! Frog: What be this? Me thinks...an egg? Robo: This is... an egg of some sort? Lucca: An egg? Is it hardboiled or 3-minute? OLD MAN: Let us call that the Chrono Trigger. It is pure potential. By unleashing a specific course of events, it can have a powerful effect on time. Ask the one who made the Epoch, your Wings of Time, how to hatch it... Like any egg, it represents a possibility... It may or may not...hatch. But the Chrono Trigger gives you the potential to get your friend back... The egg will have an effect equal to the effort it put into your search. No more, and no less. Don't forget that. As long as you keep Crono in your heart, the day you are dreaming of shall arrive... Magus: I get it...it's you, isn't it...? Marle: Wait a sec... Are YOU Gaspar, the Guru of Time? Lucca: It's you, isn't it?!... You're Gaspar, the Guru of Time! Robo: This can only mean... ...you are the Guru of Time... Mr. Gaspar, I presume?! Frog: Wh...what? So...... Thee art Gaspar, the Guru of Time! OLD MAN: Um...well... ...I believe that's what they used to call me... ...ages ago... Lucca: This console controls the passageway. We need a password to get through. Marle: Crono! Let's go get Crono! Lucca: ... He was a pain, but now that he's gone... Now don't go getting any stupid ideas! He was like a brother to me! Robo: Without Crono, everyone is depressed... Frog: That fool... No one that young is supposed to leave this mortal coil... Ayla: Crono strong! Not gone yet! Ayla find Crono!! Magus: Doesn't matter if HE's here or not. My attention is focused elsewhere... Marle: I can't believe this! I'm so happy! Lucca: Don't put us through that again! Robo: Now that Crono's here, everyone's cheerful! Frog: Look at you... Ladies weeping over you right and left... Ayla: Crono! Crono!! Crono!! Magus: ... You got whacked, 'cuz you're weak. OLD MAN: So! Looks like you were successful! No, don't thank me. I didn't do a thing. I just gave you a place to begin... If you really want to thank me, make me a member of your team! By the way, the Wings of Time has come looking for you. It seems to have a heart and mind of it's own... OLD MAN: You wish to fight Lavos, correct? Many paths lay open to you. You may use that bucket. Or fly the Wings of Time to "The Day of Lavos"... Or there's the Black Omen, which floats in the sky above your world. Lavos is somehow connected with it. It's up to you to decide when and where to fight Lavos. By now you must realize you are the only ones who stand a chance against him... However, you will not be alone. I have had vague glimpses of events, people and places that will empower you... In the Middle Ages, a woman's sheer determination brings a forest back to life... A fugitive in the Middle Ages, Ozzie, maintains an evil hideout... There's a task to be done in the Future, where machinery originated. And there's a very special stone that can shine its light on each generation, from the distant past to the far future... There's the ghost of a lofty knight, slain by Magus in the Middle Ages, who haunts the present... There's an object in the Middle Ages that sparkles like a rainbow... OLD MAN: One of you is close to someone who needs help... Find this person...fast. Just as you touch the lives of every life form you meet, so, too, will their energy strengthen you. Fail to live up to your potential, and you will never win... I am sorry that I must simply witness the coming spectacle from my vantage point here... OLD MAN: That poor woman can finally rest, now that the Black Omen is gone. She's reverted back to a human... Now it is time for you to access the Gate contained within that bucket! You fight not just for yourselves, but for all living things... This is a battle between Lavos and the entire world! OLD MAN: Aha! So you've been to the Land of Magic... Now that the pillar of light is sealed, you'll be needing something that will transport it through time. I recall someone working on such a device. The Wings of Time, I believe he called it. I'm afraid he became a tad psychotic spending so much of his time doing research. OLD MAN: Interesting. So he actually finished the Wings of Time. In fact, gave his life for it! Why not put that device to good use? Take it to the ancient Land of Magic! OLD MAN: Dreamstone?... I've heard of it, of course. It's a prehistoric mineral... You might find it way back in the prehistoric era. OLD MAN: You found a Dreamstone! I'd forgotten how beautiful they are. You'll need to find someone that can process that mineral. You'll probably find him in Medina, a village near the Mystic Mountains. OLD MAN: What luster! The Masa...Mune, correct? A...person in the Middle Ages wants to take down Magus with that. OLD MAN: What a strange new guest! Are YOU from the Middle Ages? GURU GASPAR: Th, this is... Hey. Nothing here... This must be... ...the End of Time... Magus: ...... Cretins! And they're still alive!? By the way, Ozzie had a hideout much like my castle... Marle: Whatcha up to... Father... Robo: The origin of machines...? You mean to tell me I have a birthplace? Frog: The knight spirit which wanders... It can't be... Ayla: Fight Lavos! Ayla village have strong defense item! Go see!! Lucca: Solar energy was used aeons ago, well before Lavos Energy existed... It might be just the thing we need to defeat Lavos... Frog: This can only be... Frog: Magus's castle...! Frog: Ozzie! OZZIE: Welcome, Glenn! Or should I say, Sir Froggy! Mwa, ha! Say, looks like you got some replacements for Cyrus! Magus is a tad busy right now. You'll have to take up your business with me... ...the swordsman, Slash, and Flea, the magician... And...! OZZIE: You'll have to defeat all 100 of the beasts in Magus's castle...! Please help... Relieve us of this misery! ...... Ha, ha... Wanna play... Our treasure... Do you want our treasure...? Yes. No. It's good stuff... In that case, will you... Play with us! Please! Pretty please! Hmmm... How did you get past my...cadaver pals? Frog: It's been ages, Sir Slush!... SLASH: That's SLASH, you slimy dolt! Still playing the comedian, eh Glenn? You'd be singing a different tune if Cyrus hadn't been there with you last time! SLASH: You'd have fit right in with those boney fellows you just busted up! SLASH: Now, let's get to business. This is going to do me a world of good! SLASH: And with no Cyrus to protect you, you're mine! SLASH: You dare to oppose me?! SLASH: Unbelievable...! But falling in the line of duty for Magus... SLASH: ...leaves me with few regrets...! Frog: The magician, Flea, I presume? Frog: Wait! That isn't Flea... Where's the REAL Flea?! Mwa ha... Here, over here... Giving up, little tadpole?! Marle: Who IS this person? Lucca: Hey! Who ARE you?! Robo: Who is this fiend? Frog: Keep your guard up! This is no ordinary woman! Meet Flea, the magician! FLEA: What the...?! Hey, I'm a GUY! Marle: THAT is a GUY?! Lucca: Say what?! That's a guy?! Robo: But its exterior is that of a female... FLEA: Male...female......what's the difference? Power is beautiful, and I've got the power! FLEA: Poor little Froggie! You must be lonely now that Cyrus is gone. And to be turned into something so hideous! Dreadful! FLEA: But since you've brought your new friends over to play... FLEA: ...I'll show you all a good time! FLEA: How can this be... Sir Magus... Crono! So THIS is where you've been since the Festival! You had me worried sick! Children THIS naughty... ...deserve to be punished! Princess Nadia... I was wrong! Please return to the castle... ...as road kill, my dear...! Well, if it isn't Lucca! You're STILL alive, my dear?! Robo, don't waste your strength! No matter what you do, I'll break you! Frog, you're safe! I guess we'd better do something about that! Dance, DANCE!! For tonight our leader is to be born! Ah! Here comes the sacrifice! Only a moron would try to kill something that's already dead! H...humans! Please let me go... Put me out of my misery... Oh... Please, put a stop to this...! OZZIE: I grow tired of this! OZZIE: Flea! OZZIE: Slash!! Frog: Sorry, Ozzie, but they can't help you now... OZZIE: You fly eating, tongue flicking...! OZZIE: Oz... Ozzie's in...a jam!! Frog: Thou can'st not run! OZZIE: Welcome...! OZZIE: Mwa, ha... How's this ? OZZIE: Urghhhhhh... OZZIE: What the...?! Impossible...! OZZIE: Grr...This takes the cake! Frog: Thy time hath cometh, Ozzie. OZZIE: Harharhar... I'm sure Sir Magus has already called for reinforcements...! Wait until Lavos arrives!! OZZIE: I shan't be defeated! No form of attack will break MY barrier! OZZIE: Hahahahahaha!! OZZIE: Watch where you're aiming! Guwa, ha, ha... OZZIE: Mwee, hee, hee... OZZIE: Eh?! Marle: That was a breeze! Lucca: That guy was totally bent... Robo: What was that guy's problem? That Ozzie... Frog: We must hurry to Magus's place! Neuga, ziena, zieber, zom... Now the chosen time has come... Exchange this world for...! Frog: Magus!! Magus: I...it's that stupid frog! Kissed any princesses lately?! Frog: I rather enjoy this form. And I oweth it all to you! Frog: I have something for you! Magus: Ah...! The Masamune!!! I bet it're just dying to use it! Magus: The black wind begins to blow... Okay...give me your best shot... Magus: If you're prepared for the void! Magus: W...what have you done to the Masamune...? Marle: What the...?! Lucca: What's happening! Robo: It's a large-scale energy reaction! Frog: Could it be...Lavos?! Magus: Bad timing...! Don't wake up on me now...! Marle: Wake up? YOU'RE the one who CREATED him! Lucca: What do you mean?! Didn't you CREATE him?! Robo: What do you mean? According to my records, Lavos was born here, at THIS precise moment... Magus: You fools! I only "summoned" him! He lives in the inner earth, absorbing the land's power and growing ever stronger! Marle: What?! Lucca: So, he wasn't born in this period... Robo: Then my data must be incorrect... Frog: What's going on?! Marle: Th, the Gate?! Lucca: A g, Gate?! It's huge...! Robo: Impossible! A Gate this large should not exist! Magus: You! If you hadn't shown up...! Marle: Crono!! Lucca: We're being drawn in! Robo: It's an enormous gravity well! Frog: Whoa...!! Lucca: Phew... You're pretty stubborn. Robo: My apologies, Lucca... Lucca: It's not your fault. We're the one's who created weapons... Lucca: Man, that fool sleeps a lot. We should make him help us! No! Marle: Let him sleep He fought long and hard. Frog:...... Lucca: Phew...all right. Marle: Where're you going? We just got cozy. Frog: Gotta take care of some business... Marle: Tee, hee...<$04> Grow up...! Finally, we've got someone who wants to die young! Harhar, this is hilarious...! So, you think YOU can take us on? Y, you're...!! Neuga, ziena, zieber, zom... Now the chosen time has come... Exchange this world for...! Magus: So, you came... Magus: We Wizards and humans have brought about our own ruin... Except for you and I, this world is populated by cretins... The one who wins this battle... ...will rule the world... No, make that RULE THE FUTURE... Frog: So that's the story... But who cares. Frog: But there is some merit to fighting you! ... Magus: Hmmmm... You have the Masamune... Let's see if you know how to use it... What're you lookin' at? I'm Spekkio. The Master of War! I've seen all kinds of battles from here. SPEKKIO: How do I look to you guys? Strong! Weak! SPEKKIO: I see. Let's put it this way. If you're strong, I look strong. If you're weak, I look weak. SPEKKIO: You are strong of will...! That's why the Old One let you through. Long before you were born... ...there was a kingdom where magic flourished. Everyone there could use it! But in time, people began to abuse their powers. It got so bad that no one was allowed to use magic except wizards. But you have it...determination, I mean! Magic needs power of the heart. It needs inner strength. Magic is divided into 4 types: Lightning, Fire, Water, & Shadow. SPEKKIO: You, with the punk hairdo! You're "Lightning." SPEKKIO: The one with the ponytail is "Water." SPEKKIO: The one with goofy glasses is "Fire." SPEKKIO: That's the biggest toy I've ever seen... Hey, you're not alive, are you?! You've got great strength, however, since I can't measure your inner character, I can't give any magic to you. But your laser weapons will suffice. They can inflict "Shadow" type damage. SPEKKIO: Not just magic, but EVERYTHING is based on the balance of these 4 powers. SPEKKIO: Think "MAGIC," and, starting from the door, walk clockwise along the walls of my room 3 times. Don't lose track, now. SPEKKIO: No cheating! I'm watching! Do it over! From the door, clockwise along the wall, 3 times! SPEKKIO: Very good! SPEKKIO: Ipso facto, meeny moe... MAGICO! Crono learns to use magic! Marle learns to use magic! Lucca learns to use magic! Robo can't use magic! SPEKKIO: So! Fortified with magic! Wanna try it out? Yes. No. SPEKKIO: All right! SPEKKIO: Hi! Looking for some practice? Yes. No. SPEKKIO: Any time, friends. Remember, I'M the Master of War! SPEKKIO: GRRRR... That was most embarrassing! SPEKKIO: Wait a sec! I'M the Master of War! SPEKKIO: See, I AM the Master of War! Uwahahaha! SPEKKIO: Harrumph... Don't make a habit of this. Here, this is for you. SPEKKIO: I AM the Master of War! Whew! Sometimes I scare myself! SPEKKIO: HEHEHEHE!! I WIN! SPEKKIO: You guys are too much! Bring newcomers to meet me! SPEKKIO: What a weird fellow. Being a frog, let's give him "Water!" Frog learned to use magic! SPEKKIO: All right! Sweetheart! Unfortunately, you were born before magic existed! But you seem to have other skills that will get you by. Ayla can't use magic! SPEKKIO: ...Phew...!! You hauled in a marlin here, kids! He can use "Shadow"... And he could probably teach me a thing or two! SPEKKIO: Hey? That punk rocker hasn't been coming around, lately. SPEKKIO: Hey! Punk head! Where ya been? Spekkio special refresher set! Got 1 Magic Tab and 5 Ethers! Spekkio choice set! Got 1 Magic Tab and 5 Mid Ethers! SPEKKIO Healthy choice set! Got 1 Magic Tab and 5 Full Ethers! SPEKKIO Graceful set! Got 1 Magic Tab 1 Speed Tab 1 Power Tab and 10 Elixirs! SPEKKIO Cheerful set! Got 10 Magical Tabs 10 Speed Tabs 10 Power Tabs and 10 MegaElixirs! Received enough of Spekkio's praise to last a year! SPEKKIO: Cut it out, fellas! I'm empty!! SPEKKIO: What're you laughin' at... Don't judge a book by it's cover... Empty! Marle: What!? Lucca: This is... Robo: Energy value at 100! 200...! And increasing! Frog: What be happening!? Ayla: !! Magus: It's coming... Marle: It's coming out?! Lucca: No way! Robo: A.D. 1999! At 1:24! Data confirmed! Frog: Lavos...!? Ayla: Strong guy! Much, MUCH strong guy!! Magus: Come on out, now...! Marle: This is... Lucca: Oh, my...... Robo: Unable to calculate attack level value!? Frog: Stunning...it's HUGE! Ayla: Uoooo... Magus: I've been waiting for this! Lavos... Marle: <$1B>! What do we do? Fight! Run away for now! Lucca: Are we REALLY going on? Fight! Run away for now! Robo: <$1B>, shall we go on? Fight! Run away for now! Frog: <$1B>! Be thee certain? Fight! Run away for now! Ayla: Fight now? Fight! Run away for now! Magus: Hm, how frightened are we? Fight! Run away for now! Marle: You're right! For Doan and the others too! Lucca: Ours...was a short itth! Robo: Let us go!! Frog: Cometh, Masamune! Ayla: Ayla not run! Ayla fight!! Magus: Finally, I shall destroy you! Did we do it?! Marle: Unbelievable...! Lucca: It's finally over... Robo: We were successful!! Frog: Can it be over?! Ayla: Lavos down! Ayla No1!! Magus: It's over? Marle: Look, a hole! Lucca: Did we do that?... Robo: A...hole... Did WE do that?! Frog: That hole... Did we do that?? Ayla: Lavos has hole! Magus: The exterior's slain... Marle: But THIS couldn't have done him in...! Lucca: I wish it were over... Robo: I sense a powerful life force within Lavos. Frog: Will there never be an end...? Ayla: This Lavos's shell! Inside still strong!! Magus: It ain't over yet... Marle: L...let's go inside! Lucca: I guess we have no choice. But... Robo: We must invade the interior and attack its...core! Frog: This be only armor! 'Tis what's inside that must be destroyed! Ayla: Ayla no give up!! Magus: We'll get to the bottom of this, Lavos... OPERATOR: Direct attack on Truce!! SUPERVISOR: Calm down! How does it look down there? OPERATOR: Porre...Choras...Medina...! Everything's been destroyed!! DIRECTOR: ... OPERATOR: Director! We're under attack! DIRECTOR: Take cover in the ShelterDome! OPERATOR: Director! Sir, you must come with us! DIRECTOR: We're out of time! Get moving!! OPERATOR: Y, yes sir! DIRECTOR: ... Lavos... Marle: Eeeeeek! Lucca: We're all right, aren't we?! Robo: Unbelievable energy! As if the sum total of all the human spiritual power that has ever existed were somehow being amplified... Frog: What's happening?! Ayla: Epoch alive? Marle: Awesome! Lucca: Traveling at warp speed! Robo: Even in my time, we did not have such devices! Frog: Whoa! Ayla: It great! It fast!!! Epoch's capable of THIS?! Marle: Crono's gotta be somewhere! I'll find him!! Lucca: Crono might be on this island... Robo: Let us find Crono! Frog: Dead or alive, let's go find Crono... Ayla: Find Crono! Crono still alive!! Marle: What's that?! Lucca: We're getting some interference from an enormous Gate! It can't be! Lavos!!?? Robo: The Epoch's space-time compass has gone haywire! Frog: !? Magus: That's...! Marle: I think they're calling us... Lucca: It feels like we're gonna get sucked in there. Robo: It's enormous! I'm picking up a tremendous amount of spiritual power! Frog: The Ocean Palace hath risen? Surely, it doth beckon us! Ayla: Me hate! Ayla not like boat!! Magus: ...The Undersea Palace? This is impossible...! Magus: We'll break our way through. Ayla: Okay, carry on! Epoch!! Frog: This battle leadeth nowhere. We must use the Epoch to break through! Marle: Let's just burst through Lavos with the Epoch! Robo: This will have no effect on Lavos. How about invading the interior with the Epoch? Lucca: Think we can burst through Lavos with the Epoch? Lucca: We might wreck the Epoch! But...we really don't have a choice... Robo: The Epoch's strong enough to penetrate Lavos's armor...but we may not be strong enough to survive the shock... Marle: What?! That means we'll ALL perish... Frog: If we err, we're done for... Ayla: It Okay?! Epoch not die! Magus: You really think this is going to work? Magus: This is a losing proposition... Marle: Let's put our trust in the Epoch! Lucca: The Epoch'll get us through... Robo: The odds are not good... Perhaps if Epoch's energy and our own vitality are combined... Frog: We haveth no choice! We must break through...! Ayla: Epoch win! Ayla win! Magus: Very well... Marle: Countin' on ya, Epoch! Lucca: Sorry, Epoch... Robo: We're fresh out of options. Frog: It's either one or the other... Ayla: All right! Ayla try! Epoch try hard too!! Marle: Everyone, hold on! Lucca: We believe in you, Epoch! Robo: Everyone, get ready for the initial impact! Frog: Cyrus! Please protect us... Ayla: Ayla not give up! Epoch not give up too!! Magus: I'm waiting for you, Lavos. Marle: C'mon, everyone! Lucca: Epoch, don't let us down! Robo: The Epoch's moving! Frog: Go forth, Epoch! Ayla: Go! Epoch!! Magus: Here we come, Lavos! Marle: Hmmmmm... Lucca: Everyone OK?... Robo: ...... Frog: Owwww...... Ayla: Ayla...alive...! Magus: You can open your eyes. We're inside! Frog: We beat the odds... Robo: Epoch is...in pieces. Marle: Thank you, Epoch... Lucca: I'm sorry, Epoch... Ayla: Epoch... Me proud! Magus: ...No turning back now. Marle: We're in pretty deep... Lucca: We're okay...right? Robo: According to my sensors, we are close to the center! Frog: This is creepy. It's worse than Magus's place... Ayla: !! Lavos smell...STRONGER!! Marle: This...is...Lavos! Lucca: This's the REAL thing?! Robo: Amazing... It houses all the DNA of every creature that ever lived...! Frog: Cyrus, this be our finest battle... Ayla: Ayla not give up!! Magus: Finally... You have met itr match, Lavos!... Marle: It's...humanoid... It seems like it has collected all of the vitality from the creatures who have lived on this planet. Lucca: Now I understand... It lives on a planet for as long as possible, stealing away the most vital resources... It combined the DNA it found here with its own, and gave birth to those creatures up on Death Peak. Eventually the young must migrate to other planets...to repeat the cycle... Robo: This was Lavos's goal...! Using the DNA of every organism... And achieving the ultimate in evolution! Frog: This be evil! Indeed! This thing possesseth the vitality of all living creatures... It hath harvested DNA from animals, only to further its own evolution! And whilst sleeping, to boot! Magus: ...... So...since the dawn of time, it has slept underground, controlling evolution on this world for his own purpose... Ayla: This smell like Ayla's land! Reptites, Ptero, Nizbel. Ayla, and <$1B>! Smell like all people I know!!... Smell of all living things!! Robo: Attack value is... ...off the scale! It's shorting out my sensors! Marle: Are you saying IT'S the reason we're all here? Magus: We were created only to be harvested. All people... ...and all living things... Lucca: Grown like farm animals, waiting to be slaughtered... All of our history... our art and science... All to meet the needs of that... beast... Frog: It...is too much to bear... We have been reared like animals...! Our lives hath been for naught... Ayla: Me no run! Ayla no run away! Worse than losing!! Marle: This is Crono's and ours... Leene's and Doan's...everyone's...! Marle: This is Crono's and our's... Everyone's...! ...and I mean, EVERYONE's world!! Lucca: Impossible... You CAN'T expect to toy with an entire world and get away with it! Robo: Human hands created me... Which means I am a product of that thing...I am no different than Lucca and the others... I am a part of all living things!! Frog: My life retain'eth its meaning...! We haveth our own will!! Ayla: Ayla strong! Ayla and world good! You outsider. Not part of planet's life!! Magus: ...... It's over for you... Your life ends here! Lavos enters attack mode! Lavos changes attack mode! Got money back! Got items back! Got <$1B>'s equipment back! Got <$1C>'s equipment back! Got <$1D>'s equipment back! Who're you guys?! The Blackbird's a symbol of how advanced Zeal's culture is. Never thought somethin' so big could fly, huh? Everything okay with the Blackbird? SOLDIER: Everything's A-okay, Sir Dalton! DALTON: Of course it is, you idiot! Hey you! What're you doing there! DALTON: Aha...it was true then...! You're the ones the Prophet said would come and cause trouble! DALTON: Let's see how you handle THIS little situation. DALTON: I didn't think they'd make it so easy on me! HA! Marle: Where are we? Lucca: Where is this? Robo: Unfamiliar...scenery. Frog: Where are we? Ayla: Where this? <$1D>: !? Marle: Our equipment's gone! Lucca: Our equipment's gone! Robo: Our equipment's gone! Frog: The equipment hath evanesced! Ayla: Weapons! All gone! Marle: Our items too...! Lucca: Our items too...! Robo: Items are missing, too! Frog: The items too! Ayla: All stuff, GONE! Marle: Even the money... Lucca: Even the money... Robo: The money has also been stolen! Frog: Confound it! The money, too!! Ayla: What you buy stuff with, "money" gone too. Marle: What do we do?... Lucca: This's depressing... Robo: Must think of a way to escape. Frog: Now, what? Ayla: Ayla fight! Get all weapons back! Destroy bad man!! Marle: Eeeeeeek! Lucca: Wh, what! Robo: We're airborne! Frog: We're going up! Ayla: !! Marle: The sky! So we're inside... Lucca: Sky?! Then we're inside... Robo: This must be... Frog: The sky! We're in the belly of...! Ayla: Sky! Sky! This sky! ...The Blackbird?! Ayla: !! Lucca: !? Robo: Please wait! Frog: What?! Ayla: Breeze come in here. Lucca: There's an airduct. Robo: It seems like an airduct. Frog: We can get up there... GUARD: Serves 'em right. Without weapons they're powerless. Marle: What should we do, <$1B>? Act sick. Think of a plan. Lucca: What now, <$1B>? Act sick. Think of a plan. Robo: What shall we do, <$1B>? Act sick. Think of a plan. Frog: What shall we do, <$1B>? Act sick. Think of a plan. Ayla: What we do, <$1B>?! Act sick. Think of a plan. GUARD: Yeah, right! Nice try. H, how did you guys get out?! Hey you!? Freeze! <$1B> is escaping! <$1B> is escaping! Lucca: I see. We're gonna trick the guard. Robo: I see. Keep the guard OFF GUARD. Frog: Oh, I get it... Get the guard in here... Ayla: Ayla healthy! <$1B> want sick, then sick. Lucca: ...Owww! The pain...THE PAIN!!! Robo: Total system overload! Irreparable! Please help! Frog: Owww! Belly button...pain...ohhh...! Ayla: Uooo...! Ayla...hurt bad! GUARD: What's wrong?! Lucca: Mission accomplished! Robo: Seems we have succeeded. Frog: You fool. Frogs haven't belly buttons! Ayla: ...... Ayla don't like lie... Lucca: We can check out the lower deck from here. Robo: We can observe the enemy from this point. Frog: Let us watch our captors from here... Ayla: Down there, can see! Hey you!! DALTON: Pay close attention to what you're doing! This will be my royal "Airthrone!" DALTON: The world now belongs to me! DALTON: Mwa, ha, hahahaha! Lucca: Look! He's messing around with the Epoch! Robo: It seems he's modifying Epoch. Frog: Me thinks he CAN'T just tinker with another's possession! Ayla: They change Epoch! <$1B>: Shhhhh... Lucca: But we haven't got our stuff back yet! Don't care Return Robo: There are still some missing items. Don't care Return Frog: We still have some missing articles. Don't care Return Ayla: Still missing stuff! Don't care Return Marle: W, what's going on? Lucca: He's...! Robo: It's a massive magic energy reaction! Frog: Something cometh! Lucca: Phew... Frog: How annoying. Ayla: Ayla don't give up!! At last...! We did it! It's done!! DALTON: See these beautiful wings! Now THIS is a King's throne. I now name it... DALTON: The Aero-Dalton Imperial! And THEY'RE gonna be my first victims! DALTON: Aero-Dalton Imperial, engage! DALTON: No, no, no, no...! DALTON: Stop the music! DALTON: Ha! There we go! DALTON: Ready for takeoff! DALTON: The Aero-Dalton Imperial! We have lift-off, Houston!! <$1C>: Look! Robo: Th, that's! Frog: What in the...! <$1B>: Epoch's... Ayla: Epoch fly...? It's flying?! DALTON: It's not Epoch! It's the Aero-Dalton Imperial! DALTON: Mwa, ha, haha!! You are excess baggage! DALTON: Make like the wind and blow outta here...! Marle: Help! Lucca: What's going on! Robo: Danger! Frog: Oh, no! DALTON: Mwa ha! You are like insects to me! Lucca: There... Robo: We must retrieve Epoch! Frog: Filth! A lesson he shall learn this day! Ayla: Epoch...go...now! Marle: It's all your fault!... Crono... Give back Crono!! Lucca: Dalton! Robo: I am on my way!! Frog: Cheerio...! Ayla: Grrrrrr...! DALTON: You, you...! Marle: Pant...wheeze... Lucca: Is Epoch okay?! Robo: Success! Frog: That groundling stief! Ayla: Epoch, okay? Lucca: More importantly, did he change the controls? Robo: More importantly, did he change the controls? Ayla: Epoch...steer okay? Marle: Is everything okay?! Lucca: What's that lever for?! Robo: These instruments are unfamiliar. Frog: I am at a loss! Ayla: Epoch, wake up! Marle: <$1B>! Hit the Y Button, quick! Lucca: <$1B>! Hit the Y Button, quick! Robo: <$1B>! Please press the Y Button! Frog: <$1B>! Me thinketh, 'tis the Y Button! Marle: Oh...then try the X Button! Lucca: Well, then try the X Button! Robo: Then try the X Button! Frog: Then hit the X Button! Lucca: Phew, now I get it! Robo: I should have linked my CPU... Frog: Fantastic! We are actually in his debt! Ayla: Epoch in good shape! Epoch...become bird!! Robo: We were lucky! If we had pressed the wrong control devices... Lucca: It needed a remodel anyway! Lucca: !! There's something in here! Robo: !! Our items! Ayla: !! Found Ayla stuff!! Lucca: He was going to steal it all! Robo: So! Dalton was stealing everything! Frog: A dog of a man, if there ever was one! Lucca: Our money isn't here!... Robo: Our money isn't here! Frog: But, where is our money! Robo: Probably back in the Blackbird... Frog: Oh! What a tragic thought! Ayla: What's wrong, everyone? Marle: Crono... Lucca: Marle... Robo: If Epoch is intact... I'm sure that Crono is too... Frog: That poor lad... Ayla: Crono strong! Crono won't die!! Empty! SOLDIER: Halt! Who goes there! SOLDIER: Check out that hair! Where're you from, son? Are you one of Magus's troopers? SOLDIER: Hardly! This kid never would have made the cut! Show us your stamp collection, son! SOLDIER: Har, har! Now beat it, shrimp! Stop that at once! SOLDIER: Queen Leene! QUEEN: Show your manners! This is a friend of mine! SOLDIER: But there's something odd about him! QUEEN: You refuse to obey my orders?! SOLDIER: Forgive me, my lady! Please enter, Sir! QUEEN: Giggle... Please pardon us! We revere our Queen's guests! I envy you, whom the Queen calls friend! King Guardia the XXI is in the throne room. Mind your manners! KING: Sir! I understand that you are the one who saved my dear wife, the Queen! But can you tell me what happened? Leene's acting rather odd. And she seems to have lost her coral pin, which is something she guarded with her life... Forgive me! You must be tired. We can talk about this later. Please rest in the Knights quarters, downstairs, to the left. CHANCELLOR: Hmmm... CHANCELLOR: She escaped?! But how? She was in a secured room! CHANCELLOR: What do you want? Get out of my face! The King's room is upstairs. The Knights' quarters are downstairs, to the left. The Queen seems to be waiting for you upstairs in her room. The Queen awaits. YOU saved our Queen? You don't look that tough. The Queen married into the family 10 years ago. She still looks so youthful! In fact, she looks even younger now than on her wedding day... QUEEN: Ah! There you are. QUEEN: Please leave us. I need to talk to this individual. ATTENDANTS: Certainly, your Highness. QUEEN: Come nearer, Sir. QUEEN: Giggle... QUEEN: Fooled you, didn't I, Crono? Marle: It's me! But everyone calls me, Leene! Marle: I'm so relieved you're here! Marle: We barely know each other, but somehow, I knew you'd come for me... Marle: Thank you, Crono! Marle: S, something's wrong!!! Marle: W, what's happening?! It feels like...I'm being torn apart! Marle: Help me, Crono! I'm scared!!! Please... Crono ...h, help me! ... I grow so tired of the gossip around here! Did you notice anything odd about the Queen? Yes. No. Just as I thought! She claims she's not Leene! There's something...different about her. Don't mention this to anyone! Okay, if you say so. Has she dismissed you already? You were polite, of course? You didn't do anything...funny, did you? Of course not! Well...yes. Are you sure? Oooh! We can't let this juicy tidbit out of the castle! Go downstairs if you want to rest. The Knight's quarters is downstairs. The dining room's below. The chef's got a nasty temper, so don't get in his way! This dining room is for us soldiers. Feel free to grab a bite. Magus's troops had better watch out for us! The chef's food is great. I give it 3 stars. I... I'm hungry... MAID: Here's your food! SOLDIER: All right! This is great! Hungry? Sit down at the upper left corner of the left table. This place is a mini war zone! This is no place for kids! Wait! Maybe you'd know! What's this "Eyes Cream" stuff that Queen Leene wants so badly? KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Where's supper? WAITRESS: Oh, Captain! I'm sorry... KNIGHT CAPTAIN: We're fighting a war out there! Can't it even keep us fed? CHEF: What are you fussing about? You're not the only one who's fighting out there! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Hey, I don't have time for this. Just feed my men, okay? CHEF: Shut your trap! I'll decide who's going to get fed, and when!! That fool...he thinks HE'S the boss! The Knight Captain is normally very kind. The chef just rubs him the wrong way. The Knight Captain is trying hard to fill the shoes of his predecessor, Sir Cyrus, Commander of the Knights. Those two are brothers. You've heard the expression, "sibling rivalry," right? My husband chose this life because he's a pacifist. Zenan Bridge is our last line of defense! We MUST guard it with our lives! So you're the one who helped the Queen. Talk to the maid if you need to rest. Take a snooze? Yes. No. Refreshed? Oh! If only Sir Cyrus were here! You've heard of him, haven't you? Yes. No. If HE were here, this whole mess with the Queen would never have happened. You don't know of Sir Cyrus?! From which land do you come? Or are you simply a fool? Sir Cyrus was the Commander of the Knights. His mission was to protect the King and Queen. He and a friend left on a journey 10 years ago. No one has heard from them since. Long ago, a beast called Yakra lurked in the western forest. But after the cathedral was built, Yakra disappeared. We're thankful for that. What a relief, the Queen's been found. Now we can concentrate on the war! Oooohhh... Magus's troops are strangely quiet... Something's about to happen. Just between us, the Chancellor's been acting VERY strange lately. He's been sneakin' out at night... Speaking of nut cases, I haven't seen the Queen's guard, that frog-thing, recently. Heard a spell turned him into a frog. Do you believe that? I think he's a spy! People say the Chancellor's gone crazy, but I don't believe it. The Chancellor's a decent man. Why, he goes to the cathedral everyday. Crono! Lucca: Huff, puff...you're okay! Did you find the girl? Lucca: GONE?! Whadd'ya mean she's gone?! Lucca: Hmm...it's just as I thought. Lucca: I knew I recognized her! Lucca: And this looks identical to the castle in OUR time! Lucca: I'll bet they mistook that girl for her ancestor... You see, she's a member of the royal family in OUR time! Lucca: She's Princess Nadia! Lucca: Something must have happened to the Queen in this era. As a result, Princess Nadia ceases to exists! Lucca: Hurry! We have to find the real Queen! KING GUARDIA: You had me worried, Leene. Frog: I failed to protect Queen Leene. I hath disgraced thee. LEENE: Frog! LEENE: Your timing was perfect. Who knows what would have happened had you not saved me! By the way, where is the girl who was mistaken for me? Lucca: Oh, yeah! I forgot all about Princess Nadia! Lucca: Crono! Where did Princess Nadia disappear? She may still be there! Lucca: Princess Nadia! Marle: Huh? What happened? Marle: Crono! Marle: It was awful... I can't recall it all... I was somewhere cold, dark...and lonely. Is that what it's like to...die? Lucca: Welcome back, Princess Nadia! Marle: You risked your life to help me, too?! "Princess...Nadia...?!' Uh oh... Marle: I guess you guys figured it out, huh? Marle: Sorry, Crono. I didn't mean to deceive you. Marle: I'm Princess Nadia. My father's King Guardia the XXXIII. I really enjoyed being with you at the fair. But if you had known my identity... Marle: Crono, you wouldn't have shown me around the fair, right! Right. Wrong! Marle: See? I like Marle better than "Princess,' anyway! Marle: Oh, Crono! That's why I like you! Marle: The real Queen's safe, right? So let's go home, Crono! CHANCELLOR: That no good Yakra! Impersonating me and kidnapping the Queen! We MUST create a criminal justice system in this Kingdom to do away with such fiends. Wow, you could be Leene's twin! Thank you, Crono. But...who was that girl we found in the canyon? Thank goodness, you're safe!! You may resemble Leene, but you sure don't act like her! Anyway, you've really helped me. Let me know how I can repay you. Marle: You're the real Queen Leene, huh?! LEENE: You really could be my twin. Marle: Well, you two better get along... or I'll be in big trouble. I'll keep my fingers crossed! LEENE: Excuse me? Marle: Um...never mind! I guess it's time to go! You seem like one of the family, now! Frog: 'Twas a fault of mine, which endangered the Queen. I shall depart for good. Marle: Eeeek! Frog: Indeed, your resemblance to the Queen is uncanny. Frog: Crono, you hath potential to be a good swordsman! Lucca: ... Froggy, you weren't such a bad guy either. KING: Hello! You're always welcome here. What can I do for you? Marle: Well... Lucca: Um, well, it's... Robo: We would like to ask a favor... Frog: We asketh a favor... Ayla: Ayla have favor. KING: I get it. You want me to keep that huge shell safe here until the next century, right? LEENE: I ask for the sake of <$1B>. Please carry out their request. KING: Done! I shall obtain the shell and store it in the castle, as a national treasure. Knight Captain! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Yes, Majesty! KING: Go and obtain the Rainbow Shell, and bring it back in one piece! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: At once, Sire! Marle: Thank you, your Majesty! And Queen Leene too, of course! Lucca: Thank you very much! Robo: Thank you very much! Frog: Thanks to thee, from one so humble. Ayla: You, good man! Strong! Ayla like! SOLDIER: Oh, it's you again. Magus's troops had us cornered but the appearance of the Hero, saved us. Hero? He just went to see the King a moment ago. Sir Crono! The legendary Hero has finally appeared! He just arrived a moment ago, to meet the King. The King was injured, and is recuperating in bed. Queen Leene has been at his side all night. The King fought bravely against Magus's troops. Had he not heard of the arrival of the Hero, he might have fought to the death! I'm so ashamed... I treated him badly, thinking he was just some brat. Luckily, he forgave me. A hero, HE IS. At this rate, Queen Leene will also succumb. Oh, Crono... I've let down my kingdom. Since we cannot locate Cyrus, our sole hope rests on the boy who has the hero medal... He searches the southern continent, for the sword that can defeat Magus. Cyrus must have sent the boy to us. The Knight Captain has gone to Zenan Bridge. Many of the wounded from there, are resting below. The chef's in a snit, trying to get food to the front lines while keeping the King healthy. I'm sorry, the beds are all taken. Even the Knight Captain went to the front lines... Magus has already defeated 3 fierce warriors. There's a food shortage on the front lines. Heard something 'bout a hero showing up. Argh... The King's trying his best, too. So snap out of it! The wounded just keep piling up. Hey, hey, come on now!! Hey you, is this food good enough for the King? Chef, hurry with the food that goes to Zenan Bridge! CHEF: What? My brother?! He's... CHEF: That's what you get for thinkin' that you're the only ones fighting for your country! MAID: Hey! MAID: Stop bickering! Grow up! CHEF: ... Pipe down! What do you know?! Men are such fools! He acts that way, but the chef always worries about the Knight Captain. Wait! CHEF: ... Take this with you! CHEF: And tell that fool... He had better come back alive! You can come and go as you please from now on. You sure were lucky, defeating Yakra and all. This ought to relieve the King. Leene's presence always brightens things up. The King and Queen make such a great couple! So... she wasn't Leene after all. Which means the real Leene was somewhere else. It's exactly as I thought. But you're a dead ringer for her. Hmmm. The more I look at you, the stronger the resemblance...uncanny! You guys leaving? Wherever you're heading, be careful! The REAL Leene? Wonderful! Let's prepare a feast! What?! That wasn't Queen Leene?! And I wasted my time whipping up a batch of that "Eyes Cream' dish she wanted so badly! Yuck! Now the Knight Captain can concentrate on battling Magus's troops. Hard to believe she really wasn't Leene... Well, Leene would never snack before meals like that other girl did! So! That cathedral was at the heart of it all. That Frog's done a fine job. But since Magus's troops failed to kidnap Leene, they'll probably be back soon. If only Cyrus were here! We must crush Magus's troops! Heard that Magus's troops put Yakra up to it all. Can't believe the cathedral was their hideout. I guess Magus's troops kidnapped Leene. Didn't know that a frog could be so brave. Hmm. I still think there's a conspiracy going on here! A beast was posing as the Chancellor? Well, the fake one had much better taste. What will you have? Refresh Salad Power Stew Hyper Kabob Just a sec, okay? Here you go! MP recovered! HP recovered! HP/MP recovered! The chef's stubborn, but he's a good man. So! YOU saved Queen Leene! I THOUGHT she ate too much to be our Queen. Those two are really looking for a way to make up. We've got to nurse the King back to good health! Sorry, I don't have time right now. Yo! What? You want some Jerky? Sorry, I'm out of the ingredients right now. Besides, it's a tad spicy for most people. Y...you're ALIVE! Although we did sustain major casualties, we wouldn't have made it without it! Anyway, we all must work together to rebuild the Kingdom of Guardia! We're all in this together! Frog! So, you've teamed up with Crono and the others! You've done a fine job. Please remain with us as long as you wish. Crono, my thanks extend for generations to come. Nonesense! YOU saved the day. I just cooked! I'm whipping up a victory meal! Something real fancy! We destroyed Magus's troops and we owe it all to Crono. Frog, you're magnificent...! I knew you'd do it... I was thinking 'bout making you "Knight Captain!" Frog: I'm afraid 'tis not for me... Frog: ... My heart is glad...thank you, my Liege! I don't know how to thank you... Frog! Where's Frog? We've been expecting you! To the King's chamber, please! What a stroke of luck for you guys. Defeated Magus, huh? Since you didn't come out of Magus's castle, I simply thought... If they had broken through at Zenan Bridge, this castle would've been destroyed. The injured soldiers have all recovered. See, they're all better! Please...be ...gentle... I was one of the people you saved at Zenan. I'm sure Cyrus is smiling, wherever he is. The chef's experimenting on a great dish. It's so complicated, who knows when he'll be done! A great dish needs a great name! The Knight Captain and chef have finally made up! Frog, thanks again. You deserve the title, Knight! Frog: Waste not, such precious words on me. CHEF: And, this is for you guys. Take it, will ya. Sealed with a mysterious energy... Something inside is reacting to the pendant. Take out what's inside? Yes. No. SOLDIER: Who's there! SOLDIER: Can't let you through. Go check out the festival! Princess Nadia! CHANCELLOR: Are you all right? Where have you been?! I heard you were abducted! We had soldiers searching for you! CHANCELLOR: Scoundrel! You're the one, huh? Kidnapping Princess Nadia! Marle: No! Crono's... CHANCELLOR: Admit it! You confused her and tried to take over the throne! Terrorist!! Marle: S, stop it! Marle: Stop this at once!! CHANCELLOR: What are you doing! SOLDIER: But Princess Nadia said to... CHANCELLOR: Idiots! Detain him!! Marle: Crono!! They're escaping! Lucca: This doesn't look good! Lucca: We have no choice but to break through! Stop! SOLDIER: Princess Nadia! Marle: This is my friend! Show him your respect! SOLDIER: B, but... Marle: Can't it take orders? SOLDIER: Of course! Hold it right there! CHANCELLOR: Do as King Guardia XXXIII says! Marle: Father... KING: Silence, Princess Nadia! The throne comes before your personal wishes! Marle: What!? Just because I have a title doesn't mean I'm not a person! KING: You pick up strange ideas venturing outside! Marle: I didn't "pick up" anything! It's called "common sense!" KING: Princess Nadia! Marle: I despise you! I'm leaving! CHANCELLOR: Princess Nadia! Marle: Come on, Crono!! CHANCELLOR: Don't just stand there! After them! KING: Princess Nadia... You're not going anywhere! It's locked tight... Marle: Come on, Crono! I don't wanna see that bullheaded fool! SOLDIER: !! T, Terrorists!! Lucca: This is NOT good. Robo: What is going on?! Frog: Who, what? Terrorists?! CHANCELLOR: I've been worried, Princess! I understand your pain. But the king really only cares about his realm... Yes, even when your mother, Queen Aliza passed away, he worked all day! Marle: No one could do that! It's inhuman! CHANCELLOR: Oh, child, it's ancient history now... Marle: Tell me more! CHANCELLOR: This may be difficult... Well, Queen Aliza's condition suddenly changed for the worst. She desperately wanted to see the king one last time, but he couldn't find the time to drop by... CHANCELLOR: Said he had some work to do... But knowing nothing about death, you waited faithfully by your mother's side... CHANCELLOR: Aliza passed away in sorrow... It's as if the king indirectly killed her... Such a shame... Marle: WHAT...!! Father KILLED? ...MY MOTHER...?!! CHANCELLOR: But what do I know! There are reasons for everything, right dear? CHANCELLOR: Now...so glad to see you back again. Please go and visit the king. KING: Oh! Nadia... KING: W, what do you want! I'm not giving in to your demands! Marle: ...... KING: It's your fault for leaving the castle! And letting these...hoodlums in here. You might as well beg for bread on the street corner! Marle: Stop it! They're my friends! KING: They're a disgrace to this family! Marle: Father, you, you... Marle: You care more about itr country than me...or mother!! KING: What...? Marle: You, ...you killed mother! KING: !! KING: Get... OUT OF HERE this instant!!! I never want to see your face again! Marle: Good riddance! KING: We're no longer family! Do as you wish!! CHANCELLOR: ...... Marle: C'mon, let's check out the fair! Hey, don't come in here without permission! Hey, sorry 'bout that. The old lady's handlin' the kitchen. Gotta tread softly around here! The gist of this is that she can cook...but she can yell, too. Getting ready for the Millennial Fair. The chef's ancestor had a cook-off with Magus's troops. Hey!! Leave it! Oh, dear! I didn't recognize you, Princess Nadia! I'm in charge of the Princess' education! I'm in charge of her physical education! I'm in charge of discipline. And she's missed almost every lesson this year! It's you! Where's Princess Nadia? Tell her to return to the castle, please. Since it IS our 1000th Anniversary, The King has, for the time being, ordered probation for Crono. The King awaits the return of his daughter. Only the Chancellor thought Crono was guilty. Without Princess Nadia, this castle's dead. I, too, hope Princess Nadia returns. Princess Nadia's a dead ringer for her mother. That's why the King's so strict with her. We're about to begin celebrating, but with the King like that... Due to the King's orders, the court is adjourned. Due to the King's orders, the court is adjourned. Mr. Pierre awaits downstairs. I'm your lawyer, Pierre. The King has been so gloomy since Princess Nadia's disappearance... Listening to my story, he has concluded that it was NOT a kidnapping... It's taken time, but I think he understands. Still, the Chancellor's acting weird. He may give us some trouble... The Chancellor lost it right around the time he ordered that Dragon Tank to be built! The Chancellor hired all those soldiers that work in the jail. Those jail guardians were an odd bunch. We got cold stares from them. It's like they weren't even human! I heard the Chancellor really gave it to the King in court. Come, Princess Nadia... Oh, woe is me... All right, forget it! Beat it, you guys!! ...... I've got nothing to say! KING: W, what's that? Marle: Your... favorite. KING: ...... For me? KING: Let's see... SERVANT: What is it, sir?! KING: What...!! KING: How dare you...?! Giving me something this rich when you KNOW I have high cholesterol...! Marle: But...it's your favorite! KING: This is the last straw! Now I know how you REALLY feel! Marle: Father, NO...! KING: Leave! NOW!!!! Never show your face here again!! Marle: Father!! The King does not wish to see anybody. If you must know, he's been bedridden since then. He's emotionally drained. Why not give the King a present? He's been known to love jerky... Jerky? Seems one of his ancestors first made it, but I don't know the recipe. Urgh...! You'll see, you'll be put on ice! Oh, my... That Crono, he'll be strung up! The King is deeply concerned about Princess Nadia. But being a King, he keeps it all locked up inside. After his wife's death, he only lived for Princess Nadia. Cut the foolishness! Jeez, I ain't gonna poison the Chancellor. I can't get anything done, with you standing around! The trial of the century is about to begin. Who's, you ask? King Guardia's, of course! They say the King sold off the royal treasures. The King ordered that the court be locked until the trial's over. Same thing on the left... But weren't there some stairs, over there? The decision is about to be handed down. The King requests that no one enter or leave. It's locked. CHANCELLOR: Phew, finally! That beast, keepin' me locked up in here...! CHANCELLOR: Princess Nadia! Your friends, I presume? CHANCELLOR: Wait, I don't have time for this. I must prepare for the Moonlight Parade! Sorry, fellas. I'm terribly embarrassed... Take care of Princess Nadia, OK? The real Chancellor's okay. He took off to the Knight's room sayin' he was gettin' ready for the parade! Princess Nadia! At the moonlight parade, you shall receive a lovely present from me! Enjoy yourselves at the moonlight parade! I'm Pierre, the lawyer. So, like, where's the real chancellor? I'm Pierre, the lawyer. I've been planning the Millennial Parade with the Chancellor. Now we can go on with the moonlight parade. Gonna be a great night. The parade's the grand finale. It's the kind of parade that brings out the kid in all of us. Princess, let's start with P. E.! It's no game, now ! No, we MUST start with discipline! The soldiers hired by the fake Chancellor were all monsters. Now THIS is what I call a 1000th Anniversary. No one could tell that the Chancellor was a beast... The King's finally feeling better. That's great to hear...! Come on, now!! We owe it all to you! Eat all you want. Please have a seat over here. What will you have? Refresh bread. Power roast. Crono special. Coming right up. A fine choice This dish is named after a hero from the past. Here you are. MP recovered! HP recovered! HP/MP recovered! KING: I'll let you exit the castle, BUT! ...you be careful, now. Take care of her! Lucca: ...Yessir! Robo: You can count on us! Frog: Indeed, Sir. Ayla: You no worry! Ayla protect Marle! It's my turn, now... Marle: Melchior! Lucca: Melchior! Robo: Mr. Melchior! Frog: Melchior! Ayla: Melchior! MELCHIOR: Can't let you run the whole show. Let me make some weapons from the Rainbow Shell! Finally time for me to do somethin'. Watch and learn! Sealed with a mysterious power... Reacting to the pendant, something inside begins to glow. Remove it? Yes. No. Level up for the Red Vest! Got the Red Mail! 9) ******************************************************************************************* <$0D> day(s) until the execution... And finally, the day arrived... CHANCELLOR: This terrorist has tried to overthrow our kingdom! CHANCELLOR: He has been found guilty, and you must now carry out his sentence. SUPERVISOR: So THIS is the monster who kidnapped the princess! CHANCELLOR: The execution is 3 days away. Do NOT let him out of your sight! SUPERVISOR: Yes Sir! SUPERVISOR: Execution?! Strange, but I don't seem to recall hearing anything about an execution. CHANCELLOR: WHAT!!! How DARE you question ME! The paperwork's probably just been held up in the system! SUPERVISOR: Understood, Sir! SUPERVISOR: Guards! SUPERVISOR: Take the prisoner away! What are you up to?! Some sympathizers brought that stuff for you, you lousy felon. Got 1 Ether! Pipe down! Knock it off! Ooh! I'll show him. Open it up! That's what you get for misbehaving. Where do you think you're going?! The prisoner's escaping! So YOU'RE the escaped con! He passed out! Received a Mid Tonic! Amazing! You found 5 of them!! HP and MP recovered! We're here to take you to your place of execution. Come along. We've sharpened up the guillotine... Any last words? Lucca: Crono! I've come to save you! Who the heck are YOU? Lucca: Get outta my way!! Lucca: Take 5, you mugs! Lucca: So, what do you think of my Zonker-38? Pretty cool, huh? Lucca: Let's blow this joint! SUPERVISOR: H...Help!!! They don't pay me enough for this! Lucca: Gee, it looks like you didn't need my help, after all! Lucca: This is what happens to fools who challenge the mighty Lucca! Ha-hahaha! Lucca: What was that? CHANCELLOR: Forward, Dragon Tank! Crush those rebels! CHANCELLOR: They got the Dragon Tank!! Fix it! Quickly! CHANCELLOR: Don't fool yourselves into thinking you've gotten away with this! A top secret document has been left behind the floor... Care to read it? Yes. No. To the Prison Supervisor "Dragon Tank Owner's Manual" The Tank Head repairs body damage. It contains a shield that prevents damage by Lightning and Fire. Unless the Head can be defeated, the Tank is unbeatable. Guardia R & D H, Help me! Save him? Yes. No. You're a life saver! I'm Fritz. My dad runs a store in Truce village. Stop by if you're in the area. Going to the fair! Always wanted to go to a 1000th Anniversary! Yea! A festival! Let's get crazy! I'm opening a stall at the fairgrounds. Why don't it drop by!? All right, everyone! Let's have some fun! This bridge is being fixed because Magus's Army trashed it. But until Sir Cyrus returns, we'll fight Magus's Army, tooth and nail! That frog made it across by swimming to the other side. Our food supplies have run out. Magus's army is awfully well trained! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Our rations have run out! Have the supplies from Guardia Castle arrived yet?! Forming a protective ring around the Hero, the best knights of the Kingdom kicked off the offensive. It appears our knights and Magus's troops are locked in battle, at the center of the bridge. May we emerge victorious! Does the Hero alone have the power to take on Magus's army? We cannot defeat Magus's army by ourselves. Our only hope is the Hero. I never believed those stories about the Hero and his legendary medal... Now it turns out he's our only hope. KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Magus's army has the advantage now. Keep back! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Sir Crono! Is that for us? Yes. No. KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Food rations! The cook...he has saved us all! KNIGHT CAPTIAN: Sir Crono, if I do not make it back... ...give my brother my thanks... KNIGHT CAPTAIN: WHAT is going on here?! Magus's troops have launched an attack! They're breaking through our defenses!!! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Stop sniveling! It shames the Knights of the Square Table! We shall DESTROY Magus's troops and bring honor to our King! But, we are far outnumbered! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: This is our last line of defense. We must let no one through! Understood! Aaagh! The Hero has made it across the bridge somehow, but our troops have suffered heavy losses. Mere mortals can never expect to beat Magus's troops. KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Our troops are suffering greatly. Sir Crono, will you assist us? Yes. No. KNIGHT CAPTAIN: We are eternally in your debt! You will find Magus's troops across the bridge! Take this with you! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Magus's troops are highly trained. Please be on your guard. KNIGHT CAPTAIN: I see... We Knights of the Square Table cannot surrender. We shall hold this position to the last man! KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Thanks to Sir Crono, we held the bridge! But, unless we defeat Magus, this is an empty victory. We held Zenan Bridge with Sir Crono's help. Magus's troops are pretty tame when he's not leading them! When Magus left, his troops ran away. Marle: Wait up, already! Lucca: He's pretty swift when it comes to running away. Robo: We've got him. OZZIE: Grrrr! You're through! I'm Ozzie, Magus's top general! Those who dare defy Magus have to answer to me! OZZIE: Yes my children... Give 'em a taste of doom! OZZIE: Those wimps're stronger than I thought. OZZIE: Seems I misjudged you. But I won't do that twice! OZZIE: Drat! OZZIE: That's IT! Now you're finished! Marle: Don't mess with Crono, or you'll really be sorry! Lucca: Poor sport, huh? Robo: You cannot win. You had best surrender. OZZIE: Go Zombor! Crush Sir Magus's enemies! CYRUS: Hey Glenn... I've been thinking about becoming a Knight... GLENN: I knew you were going to enlist! You'll make a great warrior! CYRUS: Why don't it join, too? GLENN: I...don't think I'd make the cut. CYRUS: But, why? You're better with a sword than I am! GLENN: I don't know... I think I'd really lose it if I had to hurt someone. MELCHIOR: Ah, hello! Could I interest you in a weapon? Yes, I'd like to buy one. No, I'm not interested. MELCHIOR: Weapons... If there weren't evil in this world, there would be no need for weapons. What a sad state of affairs... MELCHIOR: Really? Well, you know where to find me should the need arise. MELCHIOR: That sword is an invention of mine. It's lightweight and handles superbly. MELCHIOR: Should you desire to return to Truce village, use the shortcut through the cave in the mountains to the north. Sorry, but I'm out on the road peddling my wares. Please come back some other time. Melchior Lucca: Say, where's Melchior? Lucca: There's a note? What does it say? Lucca: What!! The geezer's gone when we need him the most! Marle: Hey, looks like Mr. Melchior isn't home! Marle: I wonder what this is? Let's see here... Marle: He's gone when we need him the most! MELCHIOR: You're back again? Come to see my collection? MELCHIOR: Th, this sword...it's the Masamune! How did you get it? Marle: Why would YOUR name be on that sword? Lucca: Why would your name be engraved on the sword? MELCHIOR: ... It's a...long story. MELCHIOR: You do want to hear this story, right? Marle: Yes! Tell us about the Masamune! Lucca: Of course! Tell us about the Masamune! Marle: Can you fix it somehow? Lucca: Is it possible to reforge it? MELCHIOR: Hmmmm... It might be possible if we could get our hands on some Dreamstone, which the sword is made of. Marle: Dreamstone? Where can we get that? Robo: Dreamstone...? No data in my memory banks of such a rock. MELCHIOR: You can't find it anymore. It was a red stone that was once used as money. Unfortunately, it hasn't been available for a very long time. MELCHIOR: I doubt that you'll ever find the red stone, but if you bring some to me, I will fix the Masamune. Keep the sword with you until then. Would you like to buy something? Yes. No. MELCHIOR: You found some Dreamstone?! Then I'll repair the Masamune! MELCHIOR: HOW on earth did you get the Masamune... ...and the Dreamstone? MELCHIOR: No, don't tell me. I don't think my heart could take it. It'll take a little while to fix this... Lucca: I'll lend a hand!! Robo: I shall help also. MELCHIOR: Take a good look! THIS is the Masamune! Marle: Awesome! What a weapon! Robo: How strange. My sensors are picking up...spiritual energy emanating from the Masamune. MELCHIOR: This weapon represents considerable power... Your actions may either save or destroy life. Wield your sword with full knowledge of the consequences! Would you like to buy something? Yes. No. Marle: Crono! Where are you going? The Masamune isn't fixed yet! Lucca: Hey, Crono! Are you just gonna leave the Masamune here?! Robo: Mr. Crono, the Masamune has not been fully repaired. MELCHIOR: All right, then! Lucca: How are you gonna fix it? Robo: These repairs seem quite difficult. MELCHIOR: Don't interrupt me while I'm conducting research! MELCHIOR: At any rate, leave this to me! MELCHIOR: To repair the Masamune, we must process the Dreamstone, and activate the sword. You work on the Dreamstone, and I'll work on the sword. Lucca: OK! Leave it to Lucca the Great! Robo: Understood. Lucca: Gonna be mighty busy! Robo: First, the tools... Lucca: This's pretty complicated... You're breaking my concentration, so would you find somewhere else to go for awhile? Robo: Without the proper facilities, refining the Dreamstone could take some time. MELCHIOR: To energize this sword, we must first rejuvenate the broken sword... MELCHIOR: The spell to energize the sword takes immense concentration. Could you leave us alone for awhile? MELCHIOR: All right, it's done! Now, bring me the Dreamstone. Lucca: I'm done here too. MELCHIOR: All right, let's get started. MELCHIOR: Sorry to keep you waiting. MELCHIOR: Well, I think that's everything. Marle: Ok Crono, let's take the Masamune to Frog. Robo: Crono, let us take the Masamune to Frog. Lucca: Okay, Crono, let's get this back to Frog. Lucca: The Masamune... It's mystic powers might just force me to believe in the supernatural... Hey! Did you people just come out of the closet? Get outta here! You can use magic?! Magic-using humans supposedly perished long ago. Who do you think you are? Coming and going out of our closet at all hours. Scram! Medina village was founded by the ancestors of the Mystics, who lost a war to human beings. Most Mystics hold a grudge against humans. Be careful... You folks hungry? Yes. No. Wait a sec. Hey, wait a minute. Humans fought the Mystics over 400 years ago. My motto is `forgive and forget' but not many seem to agree with me. There's an odd man who lives near the cave in the mountains to the west. You might enjoy a chat with him. Marle: Thanks! Lucca: Thanks a lot! Say. We were told that Mystics hate humans. Why are you being so kind? Robo: Thank you for your help. Robo: But why are you being so kind? The Mystics supposedly despise humans. Marle: Why are you being so nice? Mystics aren't supposed to get along with humans. 10G per night. Care to stay? Yes. No. Not enough cash, huh? No room here for humans. Scat! Give up and walk away. Plead with them. Awww! Pipe down, okay!! Get' em! 200G per night. Wouldn't you like to rest? Yes. No. Shriek!!! Help! No human's gonna talk to ME! You're spoilin' my meal! Scram! Nothing here to sell to humans! Get out of here! Give up. Plead. You know-it-all humans! Teach 'em a lesson, boss! They got the boss?! Beasts! All right. I'll sell something to you. Hah! You think I'm gonna cut my prices for a HUMAN?! Marle: Crono, what's that weird chanting? Lucca: That chanting's pretty creepy! What do you make of it? Robo: From where does this eerie chanting originate? Oh, great Ozzie[nota] Ozzie the great[nota] He shall rule all[nota] Oh, great Ozzie[nota] Ozzie the great[nota] Ozzie fills our days and nights with joy[nota] As soon as Magus's creation, the mighty Lavos, awakens from his long sleep, the human race is doomed. 400 years have passed since Magus commanded the Mystics, and waged war against the humans. When Lavos is awakened, all humans are DOOMED! Mwa ha! Long ago, the all mighty Magus brought forth the all powerful Lavos. A beast lives in a cave on the mountain to the west. Only magic attacks can harm it. Those who do not possess magic will find it difficult sneak by. Well, I better get back to work and tidy up before Ozzie VIII finds me. This work is brutal. Hut! Sir Magus Hut! Sir Ozzie... Tut! Yeah! Race ya! Hey, wait up! Great weather. Groovin' on life... Hey guys, long time no see! What's up? Gonna run a ferry between Truce and Medina soon. Hey there! How can I help you? It's so peaceful. Hah! I hope those humans get what they deserve from Heckran! Ha ha ha. I'm Ozzie VIII, Medina village's leader! My ancestors served the great Magus. Oh, great Magus...why didn't you simply exterminate the human race 400 years ago? OZZIE VIII: They still worship Ozzie's statue in the village square. OZZIE VIII: Yes sir! I take pride in cleaning up. No, I'm not slacking off! The name's Bandeau. Here to build the ferry between Medina and Truce. I'm the leader of Medina. Make yourself at home. Hey, this stuff's mighty tasty! Why do I always get stuck doing this? Ozzie VIII uses his ancestors' fame to boss us around! Death to the Mystics' enemies! Marle: My pendant...? Lucca: Your pendant...it's glowing! Robo: This glow! What is it? Frog: A torch comes from the pendant?! Ayla: It shine like star! Magus: ...Pendant? The seal has been broken. I will give you the treasure of the Guru of Reason. To the right is a weapon which increases strength. To the left is protective gear which will guard your life. Choose whichever you feel you need, and take it with you. 13,000 years was a long time. Belthasar, I shall see you shortly... It's sealed with a mysterious energy... Jump in? Yes. No. If only the great Magus who brought forth Lavos 400 years ago, had destroyed the human race! The world would've belonged to us Mystics! GRRRRRR! Lucca: In the Middle Ages, Magus created Lavos, the destroyer of this planet's future! Marle: In the Middle Ages, Magus created Lavos, who is responsible for destroying this planet's future. Marle: If we go to the Middle Ages and take out Magus, can we change history? Robo: If we go to the Middle Ages and destroy Magus, can we change history? Lucca: We could use the Gate at the Fairgrounds! Marle: Hey, Crono, we could use the Gate at the Fairgrounds! MELCHIOR: The Black Omen which floats in the sky. ...made by neither the Mystics nor humans... What does it portend...? Oh, the Black Omen, the Black Omen[nota] We will smile on the Black Omen[nota] Always[nota] Huh? There's something else in here. Wh...what in the world...! Ayla: Kino! What you do?! Ayla: Say NOW! KINO: Ayla... Kino take Crono stuff. Ayla: Why take?! KINO: Kino like Ayla best. Ayla like Crono, but Kino not like... Marle: Ayla! Mellow out! Lucca: Wow, talk about strict! Robo: Miss Ayla, please do not promote violence. Ayla: Kino! You know why I punish? KINO: Ayla no like Kino... Ayla: No! Ayla like Kino BEST! No more do bad stuff, okay?! That wrong! KINO: Ayla... KINO: Sorry Ayla! KINO: Sorry Crono! Ayla: Give back stuff to Crono! KINO: ...No have... Reptites take! Ayla: Reptites!! Where they go?! KINO: Run into trees...there! Ayla: Ayla go too. Kino go back village. Kino protect village when Ayla not there. KINO: Okay, Ayla! Ayla: Kino is man... so if Ayla die, Kino chief then. Marle: Ayla... Lucca: Ayla's one tough cookie. Robo: Ayla, you are gentle at heart. Ayla: Chase Reptites! Get back Crono stuff!! Reptites come! Burn village!! Those who fight, killed! Reptites follow Ayla. Ayla bad luck! You disobey, so Reptites mad! OLD MAN: Ayla...This your fault! Look at mess... OLD MAN: Reptites followed you! So village now ruined! Ayla: ... Ayla feel bad. OLD MAN: Reptites strong! They live long time before us, they smart so we hide. But Ayla say fight together... Ayla still fight?! Ayla: Ayla fight while alive! Win and live. Lose and die. Rule of life. No change rule. Old man breathe, but dead on inside. OLD MAN: Ayla, you strong, can make big talk. We no have power... Ayla: No! Have power! We fight, gain more power! Ayla help you, but need Dactyl. Give Dactyl. OLD MAN: Need Dactyl? OLD MAN: Go to Tyrano lair?! That Reptite's place. Dangerous! Ayla want die? Ayla: Want to live, so go there! Ayla be OK. Give Dactyl! OLD MAN: ...OK. Go to Dactyl's nest and keeper will help. Careful, Ayla! Ayla: Thank you, Old man! Big ball of fire suddenly appear and burn Reptite's castle. Reptites gone! We happy! Reptites burned. Good! No more fear. No more run away! You strong. I strong now too. OLD MAN: You! Take care Ayla. OLD MAN: Reptites gone. Thank Ayla... Reptites take Kino! Reptites hurt all who fight! What do now?! I Forget. No need for this stone, so I give to you. Who disturbs my slumber? Nu...! Just trying to get some shut eye. I'll change <$1B>'s name, so let me get some rest, nu...! Sleep well. Spend the night? Yes. No. We Earthbound Ones lack magical powers. That's why we were banished from Zeal. Our Hero, the Guru of Life, rejected the Queen's plan, so he was banished to the Mountain of Woe. It's likely that Dalton came here using the Skyway that Schala created. Many inhabitants of this land were taken to build the Ocean Palace, and were never seen again. The Gurus of Time and Reason are missing, along with Miss Schala. Can no one stop the Queen? The Beast's nest is dangerous. Better stay away, okay? Aaaahhh, Schala...Schala...!! This hole leads to the Beast's nest. Through the nest you'll reach the place of chains, which anchors the Mountain of Woe. This is Algetty, the village of the Earthbound Ones. The Queen put the Mammon Machine in the Ocean Palace to absorb Lavos's energy. Is that safe? She locked the Guru of Life up on the Mountain of Woe for opposing her. The situation's hopeless. OLD MAN: The Guru of Life said that Sir Janus has stronger powers than even Miss Schala! Janus must be using her and the Queen to get to Lavos... Long ago, the Enlightened Ones and the Earthbound Ones lived as one. Now, only the 3 Gurus and Miss Schala treat us as equals. I wonder when Miss Schala's gonna come and play with us? Wanna buy something? Yes. No. You can't pass through here! Marle: The Guru of Life's trapped in here. Lucca: The Guru of Life's trapped in here. Robo: Here we will find the Guru of Life! Frog: Ah, 'tis where the Guru of Life remains imprisoned. Ayla: This big cage? Marle: Look! It's disappearing! Lucca: It's disappearing! Robo: What's happening?! Frog: 'Tis disappearing! Ayla: Crono! Look!! Marle: M, Melchior?! Lucca: Melchior?! Robo: Mr. Melchior? Frog: Old man Melchior!? Ayla: Melchior? MELCHIOR: Indeed, I am Melchior. Have we...met before? More importantly, can you tell me anything about the Ocean Palace? MELCHIOR: I see...the Queen has degenerated to that degree... MELCHIOR: The more energy the Mammon Machine absorbs, the further the Queen degenerates. Her spirit has been stolen by the infamous immortal, Lavos. MELCHIOR: We must flee! The seal has been broken! The mountain will collapse! MELCHIOR: Lavos sleeps deep underground, while consuming the energy of this planet. If the Mammon Machine is brought closer to him, he may awaken! MELCHIOR: We must hurry before it's too late! Elder! Schala is here! MELCHIOR: What? Schala's here? Why don't we keep it right there... JANUS: What a filthy hovel. ELDER: Miss Schala...why have you come to such a miserable place? SCHALA: Stop degrading yourselves! We Enlightened Ones were once the same as you. The only difference is that we are under Lavos's control... SCHALA: Melchior... After the Mountain of Woe fell, I thought I would find you here! MELCHIOR: Is it safe for you to leave the palace? SCHALA: That no longer matters! The Ocean Palace is now operational! MELCHIOR: Then all is lost! SCHALA: But without me, the Mammon Machine won't work. I have turned my back on that evil device! SCHALA: I've kept the Skyway open. Hurry! You must stop...my mother! SCHALA: Dalton! DALTON: Tisk, tisk my dear. Your presence is required elsewhere! MELCHIOR: Dalton! Leave her alone! DALTON: Ah! The geezer speaks! DALTON: Silence, old man! MELCHIOR: Argh! DALTON: You'll come to the Ocean Palace with me. Do anything funny, and Schala's dust. Got it? JANUS: Schala! DALTON: The Queen's children all seem to have a problem with authority, don't they? DALTON: Stay back. The life of this woman means nothing to me! DALTON: Shall we get going, Schala, dear? Your mother awaits! Marle: Melchior! Lucca: Melchior! Robo: Mr. Melchior! Frog: Melchior! Ayla: Old man. Okay?! MELCHIOR: I'm all right. MELCHIOR: But we must save Schala, or else... OLD MAN: Impossible! Even though it's coming from YOU, Melchior... MELCHIOR: If the Queen is allowed to fulfill her scheme, all life as we know it, is doomed! MELCHIOR: You're willing to challenge the Queen? MELCHIOR: You've done so much for us... ...and I don't even know your names! Marle: You'll find out soon enough! Lucca: That's OK. Someday, maybe we'll need your help! Robo: You've already helped us. Let us return the favor. Frog: Worry not thine head. Thou hath fixed the Masamune! Ayla: Gramps use red stone. Help Crono. Now, Ayla help you. MELCHIOR: What ARE you talking about? Marle: Crono! Let's get going! Lucca: Come on, Crono! Robo: Crono, let us hurry! Frog: Crono, let us be on our way! Ayla: Crono! We go now. MELCHIOR: Wait, take this with you. MELCHIOR: It's made from the same red stone as the Mammon Machine. With it, you can destroy the Machine! Elder! The Mountain of Woe is about to crumble!! Mommy, the mountain's gonna fall! ELDER: Schala's been abducted. But without sorcery, we can't do a thing. Sir Janus is headed toward the Skyway to save Miss Schala! Is Miss Schala alive? Use the Skyway to chase Dalton. And please hurry, for Schala's sake! How could something like this happen? So it was the Enlightened Ones! Miss Schala, where have you gone? A tidal wave! OZZIE: Come on in! This's the Great Ozzie's place. What the...! OZZIE: Whoa!! OZZIE: You...you're the great Magus! OZZIE: Oh, and you again! OZZIE: Outta here! Magus: You're doing well, Ozzie! OZZIE: The nerve! Deserting your fellow Mystics to serve these humans! You're a traitor! You're not our King! OZZIE: Why did you desert us? FLEA: Oh great Ozzie, stand back, and let ME take care of these cretins. OZZIE: Howdy! OZZIE: You're nothing but common stieves! Anyone who tries to steal my treasure is looking for a VERY cruel death! OZZIE: And away we go! OZZIE: Oz... Ozzie's in a pickle!!! OZZIE: You pesky, low down, good for nothings! Ooh! I'll have you begging for mercy. OZZIE: Flea! OZZIE: Slash!! FLEA: You sent for me? FLEA: Well, if it isn't Sir Magus. Who'd you bribe to get in here? Traitors like you deserve a beating. FLEA: Long time no see. You know, I REALLY don't like you. OZZIE: I'm counting on you, Flea! FLEA: Get ready for a SLAPPING good time...get it?! FLEA: OH! Just it wait! We'll teach you a lesson! SLASH: Yooouuu rang? OZZIE: You STILL haven't given up? Well, how about a good thrashing! OZZIE: Slash, don't let me down! OZZIE: What in the...! Ozzie's stumped! SLASH: Beat me once, shame on you! Beat me twice, shame on me. Grrr... SLASH: At first I really didn't want to slice and dice ya, but now it sounds kind of fun! SLASH: Ready? SLASH: Ouch! OZZIE: Come on, sweethearts! OZZIE: Mwa ha!! Gotcha! OZZIE: Don't it want the treasure box? Found the treasure!! Probably filled with goodies! OZZIE: Heh heh. Not so fast, friends. I'm not going to make it that easy for you. OZZIE: Ozzie Pants! FLEA: Flea Vest! SLASH: Slasher 2! OZZIE: These unique items make us INVINCIBLE! OZZIE: I can't lose! What would become of my Mystics? I MUST win! OZZIE: Magus! You lied when you said you wanted to create a world of evil! You used me! Magus: Oh, how dreadful. Say, can you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper... Magus: The past is dead. It was all just a dream... OZZIE: NEVER! You will NEVER defeat me! OZZIE: Adios, amigos! OZZIE: N...no! Not THAT switch!! Marle: He never gives up, does he? Lucca: What was he trying to do? Robo: What was he trying to accomplish? Frog: The stupid fool... Ayla: What he want? Ayla no understand. HERO TATA: Magus!! Got 1 <$1F>! Got 1 <$1F>! Kali Blade level up! Got 1 <$1F>! Level Up for Siren! Got 1 <$1F>! Nova Armor level up! Got 1 <$1F>! Something is reacting to the pendant. Take out the contents? Yes. No. ...len... Gl... G...le...nn... Glenn! Grrrrrrr! Cyrus, the fool who challenged Magus rests here. Cyrus sleeps here, avenged by his friend Glenn. Robo: He is resisting my attacks! Ayla: It's like rock! Lucca: What kind of shield IS THAT?! Frog: My sword hath no effect! Marle: Nothing can touch it! Frog: Cyrus... Magus: ... Frog: Cyrus?! 'Tis me, Glenn!! ...Wh...what G...l...e...n...n? Frog: Cyrus. I hath returned. I shall honor my promise to thee! CYRUS: Glenn... Thank you...for making the journey here. Frog: Dear Cyrus... Thou must...think ill of me. CYRUS: On the contrary! You have come far, my friend. When Magus defeated me, I thought of all those whom I had left behind. King Guardia, Queen Leene, and of course, you... CYRUS: Your skill and dedication is superior! I can rest now, knowing that everyone is in good hands. Good bye, my friend! Frog: Cyrus, wait! I... I...! CYRUS: The Queen... Look after Queen Leene. Alas, and...farewell...G...le...n...n... Frog: Cyyyruuus!!! Frog: I'm so sorry, Cyrus. Frog: !? Frog: The Masamune?! Frog: 'Tis flowing with strength and vigor. Heh heh That's it! MUNE: That was special! MASA: Quite. I guess it means that a Hero's power comes from within. MUNE: Mucho metaphysical, man. MASA: Like, MIND over matter, Mune! Frog: My... mind? MUNE: Now for a yummy, full-on test! MASA: It's thrashin' time! Frog: Ahh! 'Tis the true identity of the Masamune!! Frog: Cyrus, I promise to fulfill your wishes! Frog: 'Tis a sad farewell! Frog: Onward, all! There's an old structure to the north. It's been in ruins for ages. A Hero's grave is to the north. 400 years ago, the knight Cyrus fell while protecting our Kingdom from Magus. I'd stay away from the ruins! The structural damage is severe. The tale of Glenn, Cyrus and Magus is known to all. Ghosts lurk in the ruins. I'm bored... Maybe I'll check out the Millennial Fair! They say some brain-dead ghost hangs out in the ruins to the north. Scary! Spirits, still attached to the real world, live in places like that. A peaceful world is a boring world... The anguish of tormented spirits has created a negative energy that surrounds the ruins. Cyrus, our town's guardian angel, rests in a grave to the north. Toma's off to find the Rainbow Shell. The adventurer Toma's grave is on the western cape. He only failed to find the Rainbow Shell. 10G a night. Will you stay? Yes No Not enough money. Come on in! Not a single sale! And I came all the way from Porre. You, will you please buy something ? All the young 'uns went to the Millennial Fair. Kids are just gluttons for fun. 10 years ago a beast was seen carrying something into the Northern Ruins. Treasure, perhaps?! There's something eerie about the Northern Ruins. Sir Cyrus, a Knight of the Square Table, is buried north of here. Cyrus's grave is up north. It's a great place for a picnic! Heard about the ghost? Yes. No. Oh? Then beat it! A Ghost Knight roams the Northern Ruins! Isn't that a trip? Hey, do you know the story about Cyrus and his best friend? Yes. No. Cyrus's best friend, Glenn, used a legendary sword to beat the Magus's troops. I wish Toma would stay put for a change. I wonder where Toma's off to now? Hey, bring some more soda! Sir, I think you've had enough sugar today. Pipe down! I'll tell you when I've had enough! Can't it see I love soda pop? Nothing like soda pop to quench your stirst! You wanna borrow my tools? Be my guest! I'm busy here, so go get them from my wife. Huh? When do I work? That's none of your business! When I grow up, I'm gonna be a carpenter, just like daddy! My husband's never around! I'm gonna show him who's BOSS. Next time, POW, right in the kisser! What? His tools? Oh, hold on, they're right here. Careful with 'em. My tools have been stolen! I can't get any work done now. You've got some tools there. Will you lend them to a buddy? Yes. No. Thanks a lot. Now I can get to work! Sigh... Thanks for lending me those tools. Now I can finally get to work! I guess I'll start with the ruins! C'mon, you lazy blokes! Whatever you say boss! You want the Northern Ruins repaired? It'll cost you 2000 G. Yes No It ain't gonna happen without the cash. We can't repair the spots where the monsters hide. Call us after you get rid of them. We'll do the rest. That's it for now. We're done for now. We're only trainees. The boss is at his favorite cafe. TOMA: Hey <$1B>, I've finally got a lead on the Rainbow Shell. But there's something odd going on... Oh, can you hang on to this for me? TOMA: If I don't return, come to my grave and pour this on my headstone. Gee, isn't this morbid? The Great Adventurer Toma Levine rests here... 3/6/634 TOMA: <$1B>, long time no see. I've located the Rainbow Shell. TOMA: To the northwest of this cape is a large island called the Giant's Claw. You can find the Shell there. TOMA: But beware! There are many beasts about! TOMA: Time to shove off. TOMA: You guys are a riot a minute! See ya! TOMA: So, <$1B>, you beat me to the Rainbow Shell? Nah, I'm not sour about it. I probably couldn't have handled the monsters... But I WILL find the Sun Stone first! TOMA XIII: Ancient scrolls tell us that if you combine the Rainbow Shell with a Sun Stone, you can make a fearsome weapon! FIONA: My husband Marco hasn't returned from the war. But these woods mean a lot to us, so I'll guard them until he returns. FIONA: Many trees were destroyed in the war with the Magus's Army. I try to maintain the forest by replanting trees, but they all die. FIONA: The desert monsters are draining the life out of the soil here. FIONA: This Mystic seedling could revive the forest, but I can't plant it. Too many hungry monsters lurking about. FIONA: My husband Marco is finally home! I...I'm so relieved! MARCO: Don't worry. I'm home for good. MARCO: The monsters in the desert cave hate water. But I can't defeat them by myself. MARCO: You killed the monsters?! How can I ever thank you? MARCO: The war with the Mystics is over, but the battle to revive the forest is just beginning. FIONA: Thank you for routing the beasts! Unfortunately, it'll take centuries to revive the forest. I wish I could live long enough to see my wish come true! Robo: You can come for me when the job is done. May I stay behind and help Fiona? Alright No FIONA: With Robo's help, it seems my dream may finally come true. How can I ever thank you? This is Fiona's Shrine. Here we give thanks to Fiona & Robo for replanting the forest 400 years ago! The remains of the lofty Robo are enshrined in the inner sanctum. Robo: Systems reactivated. Wh, where am I? Robo: Ahh... <$1B>, how nice to see you. For you, it was a quick hop, but for me 400 long years have passed. The effort was worth it! The forest has grown back! Now, let us celebrate our 400th year reunion. Marle: What was that? Lucca: Some tremor? Robo: An unforeseen earthquake perhaps? Frog: What, be this? Ayla: Ground shaking! Magus: ...? Marle: So that's the monster responsible for this desert! Lucca: The monsters are creating a desert here. Robo: The monsters are causing the desertification here. Frog: So, THEY changeth the forest into the desert! Ayla: They make forest into desert! Magus: Retinite... He's behind this new desert. Marle: But how can one find a monster that roams the inner earth? Lucca: It will be hard to defeat a monster that travels underground! Robo: But monsters that travel underground are impossible to find! Frog: How to slayeth monsters within the earth... 'Tis a very difficult task. Ayla: Hard to find monster in earth! Magus: ...What a pain... Marle: At least Fiona will be happy! Lucca: We've neutralized the source of this desert. We should tell Fiona. Robo: Now, the desertification should stop. Let us inform Fiona. Frog: It be settled then. Let us inform Fiona. Ayla: Bad bones gone. Fiona happy now. Magus: Hmph! Here's a hat made from a magical bough filled with mystical forest powers. We are immortal! We shall live forever with Lavos, who devours this planet even as he sleeps. Draining this planet's power, Lavos will rule the world in a mere 14,000 years. Within 1,400 years he will emerge to become ruler of this world! Within 999 years he'll become the ruler of this world. Know this! The mighty Lavos reigns here! The Black Omen is a path which leads to Lavos. It is a shrine which provides us with limitless power. As long as the mighty one reigns, your dreams are hopeless! You should sacrifice yourself to the mighty Lavos! HAAhahahaha! Fools! Haven't you learned your lesson?! Return to Epoch? Yes No You cretins... I plan to live with Lavos, and control the universe forever. You will not get in my way! Magus: Zeal... A pitiful woman, duped by Lavos! Magus: I, myself, will bring an end to all of this! Indulge in such regrets in the next life! Mwa, ha, ha... At last, Lavos awakens! Compared with him, you are like germs. But, I...I shall obtain immortality! Prophet! You are doomed. I haven't forgotten what you did at the Ocean Palace. You will now forfeit your life. How dare you insects come after ME! Oh almighty Lavos, lend me your power! Magus: Idiots... Nothing can live forever. Relax, poor creatures... The Mighty Lavos has already consumed this world's life energy! It's shut tight... Great weather today. The Black Omen sparkles in the sun! Tomorrow should be clear, too. 10) ****************************************************************************************** We want nothing but world peace... Or a piece of the world, tee, hee... People wouldn't know what to do with themselves in a truly peaceful world! My, what delicious, er...... I mean, delightful looking humans! You might like to stick around for the organ recital. It's a real killer! Oh dear! It looks like you could use some food and a place to...rest! Lucca: What did you find? Lucca: A hair pin. Lucca: That's Guardia's royal crest! Lucca: Phew! That was close! Lucca: Aack! Lower thine guard and thou'rt allowing the enemy in. Thou'rt here to save the Queen? The lair is deep within. Will thee accompany me? Lucca: A...a FROG!? Crono, it's a talking FROG! I hate frogs! My guise doth not incur thy trust... Very well, do as thee please. But I shall save the Queen. Lucca: W, wait! Lucca: You don't seem like a bad... ...uh, person-frog-thing... I mean... Lucca: Crono! What should we do? Go with the frog. Refuse. Lucca: It may be risky going alone... Lucca: I'll just have to handle it! I mean...deal with...him! Lucca: What's your name? Frog: Frog will do. Lucca: All right... Nice to meet you Frog. Frog: Mayhap a hidden door lurks nigh? Let us search the environs. In our world, every storm has an end. Every night, brings a new morning. What's important is to trust those you love, and never give up...... We must all keep hope alive... Stop! Intruders! Gack!!! NOTE: No entry. NOTE: Try hard enough and you will find a way in. Snooore...szzzzzz... Nooo, stop it! I SAID that you can't... Huh?! I'll say this! You know what you're doing! Prepare yourself, Queen Leene. CHANCELLOR: YOU! How did you get in here? LEENE: Frog! Frog: Majesty, stand back and allow us the honor! LEENE: Be careful! CHANCELLOR: Gyah, ha, ha... It's useless to fight! No one will leave here alive! CHANCELLOR: Stupid frog! It's time you jumped off this mortal coil! CHANCELLOR: True-form...CHANGE! Reverts to Yakra!! LEENE: You came to rescue me! Thank you Frog. Frog: The King awaits. Let us return to the castle. Frog: I thank thee Crono, and Lucca. LEENE: Yes, thank you so much. Please join us. LEENE: Let's return to the castle! REAL CHANCELLOR: W, wait!! What about me? REAL CHANCELLOR: Phew, thank you! That monster stuffed me in there. REAL CHANCELLOR: Oh! Your Highness! As you can see, I am undamaged! Welcome, what can I do for you? Thanks a lot! The Hero has appeared? That means the epic battle will begin! Peace at last, thanks to the Hero! Hurrah for the Hero! Hurrah for Guardia! The Hero has beaten the evil monsters! Yea! Is it true that the King was injured? What's going to happen to us, and to our country...? Oh! Where could Sir Cyrus be? Surely he hasn't deserted the kingdom? Frog: ...... I heard the Hero was Sir Cyrus's friend. He must be a handsome knight. Sigh... Frog: ...... ...... Frog: Uwa, ha! What irony! Mom said I can't play outside 'cause of the monsters. I'm so bored! I heard Magus knows arcane magic which the monsters can't match. Magus survived, and is in hiding. We can't let him escape! Think of all the soldiers that fell... The chief of Sandorino Village lives here. Are you foreigners? Did you flee from Magus's troops? The chief of Sandorino lives here. Finally, we'll have some peace! Magus has 3 fearsome henchmen, Ozzie, Flea, and Slash. They're tone-deaf, evil fiends! Magus's 3 henchmen ran off and are hiding on some island. Will we never get rid of those evildoers? Magus's lair is on an island to the east. Sheer cliffs make it inaccessible. Only the ancient sword, `Masamune,' can defeat him. And only the Hero can wield it! Behold...! The legendary Hero, with sword in hand! Just once, I wish I could be in the Hero's shoes! The Hero has come! He's strong and he's gonna thrash those monsters! HEADMAN: I want it to find the mystical `Rainbow Shell.' Here's some front money. We're counting on you Toma! TOMA: Hey, no problem! 'cause, like, I'm the mystical explorer. Good match, eh chief. HEADMAN: Hmm... I'll be waiting for good news. TOMA: With that settled, I'll grab a bite before I go. TOMA: I'm busy right now. Let's talk later. CHIEF: We can use the `Rainbow Shell' to make some reflective armor. It'll be strong against magic! But that guy's a little flakey... Was it a mistake to trust him? CHIEF: That liar! He's a no good, useless... He took the money but can't find what I asked for! I've been duped! Helloooo there! This is the R <$E4> R hotel. It'll cost you 50 G! Well? Will you stay? Yes. No. Oh yes! Well then rest and relax! Huh? You don't have enough! What a shame! I'll wait for you to come back... Are Magus's armies really closing in? Well, the mystical Hero has appeared so we'll be all right! Did you know? They say the mystical Masamune lies deep within the Denadoro mountains. But it's guarded by terrible beasts. Want to hear my tale? Yes. No. Goblins with huge hammers, roam the Denadoro Mountains to the east. But burn their weapons, and they're pussycats. Well...I'll tell someone else... The famous Denadoro Mountain winds have grown mild. Have you met the Hero already? Yes. No. Wow! I wish I could just get a glimpse of him... I've got butterflies! I haven't met him either. I wonder what the champion of the world looks like? I'm so excited! Clear your conscience, the end of the world is coming. We're saved! At least for now... A sword called the `something-or-other mune' was made hundreds of years ago. No one has the skill to make a sword like that anymore. OWNER: You're looking for the Hero? Go south, to the village of Porre, where they say he's from. OWNER: Last I heard, the Hero went to the Denadoro Mountains to find a sword. I hope he's okay! OWNER: Hah! Magus is gone! Now there's nothing to fear! Let's have a party! Many people go to the inn. If you seek someone, ask there. By the way, EnergyWhirls will dissipate if you use your `Slash' attack. There's balance in nature. Magus is trying to bring forth an immense evil... If he succeeds, there will be nowhere to run. We'll all perish! That's why I'm living it up now! They stopped Magus. Now that it's safe I'm enjoying my lemonade! Vitamin C builds strong bodies! TOMA: Hey, how have you been? You pay my tab and I'll let you in on some stuff. How about it? Sure. No way. TOMA: Thanks a bunch! TOMA: Tsk! Not enough money! TOMA: Hey, one more, please! TOMA: Some creepy, dangerous frogs have taken over the southern woods. TOMA: Fine! Go away, I don't have time for you. TOMA: Now for that "Rainbow Shell"... I guess Porre would be the first place to look. TOMA: How have you been, <$1B>? I kept my promise and found it! TOMA: When next we meet, I'll have some good news for you. Heh heh... Stop it you dog! SIGN: Private Property. No trespassing...GRIBBIT Who's there!? Frog: 'Tis thee, Crono! Thou art here to practice thy skill in swordplay? Frog: What?! The King hast been injured? Frog: ...... I see... Frog: 'Tis nary a thing I canst do... Please be on thy way. Frog: The Hero, I am not. I can do naught. Frog: Thee hath returned? Th, the Hero Medal! Frog: You hath done well to find this locale. Th, the Hero Badge! Frog: Aye... Then thou hast seen the lad. Yet there's nary a thing I canst do against Magus. Frog: The legendary Masamune is required to fight Magus. And I've no right to wield it. Frog: Please leave now... Frog: Nary a soul remains to mend'eth the Masamune. Lucca: A broken sword... It's part of the Masamune! Robo: A broken sword... A part of the Masamune! Lucca: It's engraved with archaic letters. I think I can read it. Um...mm... Lucca: ...M...e...l...c...h...i...o...r! Lucca: `Melchior?!' That guy in Medina Village? Robo: Something is written in archaic script. I will translate... Robo: ......... R...o...i...h...c...l...e...m? Robo: Roihclem? Robo: System error! I reversed it! It says `Melchior!' Marle: Melchior? That guy in Medina Village? What does this mean, Crono? Frog: 'Tis thee again. Frog: This sword... 'Tis the Masamune? Frog: I must ponder this turn of events. Remain'eth here the night. GLENN: Aaah! CYRUS: Beware Glenn!! GLENN: Cyrus! The sword... The Masamune! OZZIE: Gyah ha ha... Is THAT the best you can do?! Without itr sword, you're nothing! CYRUS: Arrgh! You haven't beaten me yet! GLENN: C, Cyrus... I'm a g...goner. CYRUS: Glenn, escape while I keep them at bay. GLENN: B, but...! CYRUS: If you stay, they'll get us both. Go on, Glenn! Magus: You'd better worry more about itrself, Cyrus! CYRUS: Come on, Glenn! GO!! CYRUS: Aaahhh...! GLENN: C, Cyrus! CYRUS: R...run...Glenn... The Queen. Take care...of...Leene... ......... GLENN: C, Cyrus!? Cyruuus!! Magus: Harumph! What's the matter? Aren't you going to try your luck? GLENN: Err...! OZZIE: Gyah, ha ha... Cat got itr tongue kid? OZZIE: How about it, Magus? Can't it give him a more fitting form? Magus: All right, why not? There's always time for a little fun. GLENN: !! GLENN: A...augh!! GLENN: Aaaaack! OZZIE: Gyah ha ha...! You spineless wimp! Frog: 10 years hath passed... Can I do it? I've changed so much. Alas, poor Cyrus...! Frog: Awaketh, Crono. Frog: Though we may fail... ...let us go to Magus's lair. Frog: Thou knowest his power? Lucca: Nothing can beat science! Marle: We won't be beaten by a bad guy! Robo: We must do it to save our future! A strange monster came by the other day, mumbling about Queen Leene and the Masamune... That shore were an ugly frog! Hardy har! Yeah, he sure was weird. Ahem... Oh, I meant, such a magnificent frog! He'll be a hero or a chancellor...! MISTRESS: Little Tata must be away... We haven't seen him in awhile. But things are a lot quieter without that brat around. MISTRESS: I guess Tata's home now. It was so quiet without him... But I'm glad he's back. It was a bit TOO quiet around here... MISTRESS: And I have plans of my own... Now that the boy's back, it's time to set my sights on his father, hee hee. I can't believe the legendary Hero is that naughty runt, Tata! So Tata was a fake after all! Then where's the real Hero? Tata's been working hard lately. Maybe he's growing up. I can't believe the legendary Hero was a boy from this village! Did you hear the latest? Yes. No. Everyone's talking about him! I bet his old man is proud! Well, remember that the legendary Hero is from this village then! And I thought the Hero was from here. What a let down... Have you heard about the magical cave? The one east of the Denadoro Mountains? I saw a rock wall there pop open, and a gaggle of ghouls just walked right in! Best to leave Magus and his cronies alone, though! A slimy frog man beat Magus? If I knew it was gonna be so easy, I'd have done it myself! Geez! TOMA: Hey, you again! How 'bout buying me a soda? Sure. No way. TOMA: Thanks! I'll wish you a safe journey. TOMA: I tracked down the Rainbow Shell that the chief wanted. It's on some small island... Only thing is...I don't know WHICH island. And the money he gave me is gone. What should I do? TOMA: What a miser! I don't even have enough for grub! It's locked! Hey! Is that a Naga-ette Bromide you've got there?! I'll trade you something good for it. How about it? Let's trade! I don't want the geezer's loot. Hmph! Fine then, suit yourself. Really, you mean it? Yahoo! Now just hold your horses and I'll be back in a jiffy! It's unlocked so you're free to take it. And I'll be taking this. Hee hee... Don't tell Grannie. Hee, hee, my very own Naga-ette pet. Empty! This is the Queen's Palace, the center of Zeal Kingdom. Which makes THIS, the center of the universe. No one may enter while the Queen is away at the Ocean Palace. To open the door from outside, an item like Schala's pendant is needed to break the seal. Y...your pendant!! It looks just like Schala's! I heard that when Schala communes with the Mammon Machine, her pendant starts to glow. My, what strange clothes! You must be travelers from afar? Use the Spring of Recovery to recuperate from your journey. Visitors, do you like plants? Yes. No. I see... You're like the Queen. Oh, you're just like me! But the Queen ordered me to burn this sapling I received from the Guru of Life. He said it was a magical sapling, with powers to cure the environment. What shall I do? Burn it. Secretly plant it. You're right... I must obey the Queen's command. You're right! Even if it IS the Queen's command, the Guru of Life gave it to me. I can't burn it... I'm going to grow it with love. Someday it may save the environment. If I'm reborn, I hope it'll be in a land full of green forests. The Queen's two heirs, Schala and Janus, get along so well. If only Janus would open up to others... Did you know that Belthasar, the Guru of Reason, has secret rooms in Enhasa and Kajar? The Queen's aide, Dalton, was in charge of the Ocean Palace, until some traveling prophet took over. He's in a bad mood so you should avoid him. That man's a newcomer but his accurate prophecies earned the Queen's trust. He's a drifter... He's not one of us Enlightened Ones, nor of the Earthbound Ones either. Hmmm... The completion of the Ocean Palace will allow Zeal to last forever! And there will be no fear or sadness, just eternal peace. The source of our energy lies deep below the sea. Now that its exact location has been found, the Ocean Palace will be built. Use the Queen's hall to get to the Ocean Palace, which is under construction. The Queen must have borne pain and sorrow in silence. No pain, no gain... Zeal, too, was born out of much sacrifice and work. The wandering prophet is amazing! All his prophecies have come true. It's as if he knows the future! How eerie... They say that Gaspar, the Guru of Time, continues his work on some deserted island. He's making a "Chrono Trigger" or "Time Egg," or something. But no one has seen him for ages. Even Belthasar is gone, after designing the Blackbird and the Ocean Palace. How strange that the 3 Gurus who guide Zeal have all disappeared. Beings that are born of dreams, must return to them... The power of Lavos can make hopes and dreams come true... Ask the Queen or the Gurus if you want to know about the Mammon Machine and the Ocean Palace. But just between us, she probably won't give you the time of day. The Earth is alive, and it has changed over the aeons. From flat lands into mountains... From mountains into oceans... You may find THE WAY... That is, if you could pass aeons of time at the forbidden palace, or the Sun Keep. I wanna be the wind, Masa! Oh, you will some day. Big sister Doreen's at Enhasa again Yeah... That's 'cause she likes dreams. I like the wind better! Whoosh! I wonder how ol' man Melchior is... Humans are so odd... Could you... Scratch my back? Sure! No way! ...... How cruel! Umm! Thanks! Uhh... You got it... Phew... Phew... Thank you! You discovered the Nu's scratch-point! That pendant of yours... It looks like Schala's, but it doesn't glow. Schala's pendant was made from the same red rock as the Mammon Machine. When she chants, the pendant glows. Beyond is the hall of the Mammon Machine. The incredible energy of Lavos pervades it! The hall of the Mammon Machine is beyond. But the power is gone... The Mammon Machine? You came to see it? Yes. No. I thought so! Feel the flow of the mighty Lavos's power? Oh...I feel faint. Just as I thought! Unfortunately, the Mammon Machine has been moved. Oh, but you MUST feel them! The last of the great Lavos's emanations! Tragic...I can no longer feel the last waves of energy. The prophet's aura is full of hatred and sorrow. He'll destroy himself, and those he loves. This leads to the hall of the Mammon Machine. This connects to the Queen's hall. This will take you to the bedroom. THIS is the source of Zeal's strength. The Mammon Machine...it draws and magnifies the infinite power of Lavos. That pendant... It looks like Schala's. When she chants to the Mammon Machine, the pendant glows... As if they were in union. The 3 Gurus made the Mammon Machine from the royal family's red rock. Melchior, who has studied much about Lavos, was in charge of the plans. But then he disappeared... Magic strong enough to control the extraction of energy, is needed to control the Mammon Machine. When the Mammon Machine was finished, the Queen changed almost over night. Just between us, I heard that ANYONE who opposes her, and not just the Earthbound Ones, vanishes. Melchior, who opposed the Queen's plans, has vanished. You're not thinking what I am, are you? If the Mammon Machine is moved to the Ocean Palace, we can extract even more energy from Lavos. The ultimate dream of eternal youth and life, is now possible! Oh, almighty Queen, our kingdom of Zeal will reign forever! That glow...?! That's the pendant the Gurus made for Schala!! How did you get it? That glow...!? Is that Schala's pendant? Marle: Hmm... Just as we thought, it won't budge. Ayla: Strange. How come? Robo: This door has a strong defense mechanism. Lucca: Hmm... There's something to this pendant. Frog: 'Tis a mere DOOR that keeps us bound, hand, foot...and tongue! Marle: Yea, we did it! Lucca: Heh, heh... Even a door of this caliber can't keep science at bay! Robo: There is no doubt. Marle's pendant is made of the "Guru's Rock." Frog: What doth challenge us now? Ayla: Ayla go! No fear, Crono! Schala!! Oh, you're back Janus! Is something wrong? JANUS: The black wind... SCHALA: You feel it too? Don't worry, it'll be alright. SCHALA: Now, hold onto this. JANUS: What is it? SCHALA: It's a kind of amulet. If something should happen, it'll protect it. I wish I could be with you always... But mother has other plans. JANUS: She's NOT our mother! She looks like mother, but inside she has changed. SCHALA: ...... Still I can't... Janus, I'm sorry. Excuse me, Highness. The Queen asks for your immediate presence at the Ocean Palace. SCHALA: All right. SCHALA: Well, Janus... I'll be going. SCHALA: Oh! Who might you be? Miss Schala, please hurry. If you're late, I'll be punished! SCHALA: Oh yes, I'm sorry. JANUS: ...... Go away. JANUS: Don't waste your time. Alfador only likes me. PROPHET: !? DALTON: Oh! So it's you! QUEEN: Who are you!? How did you get in here? PROPHET: Your majesty... They are the evildoers I warned you of. QUEEN: How DARE you think you could oppose me, you...foreigners! You're worse than the Gurus! QUEEN: Fools! Dalton, take them away! Dalton: Yes ma'am! By your leave... DALTON: Golem! DALTON: My poor Golem! That was inexcusable! QUEEN: Mwa, ha, ha... Fear not! You won't die...immediately, that is! But by the time we're through with you, you'll be begging us to end your suffering. What a delicious diversion! JANUS: Hmph! Idiots... What will you do, Schala? SCHALA: Let us rescue them. JANUS: I think it's useless. Besides, if they escape, you'll be in trouble. SCHALA: Don't worry about me. They just might be able to rescue the Gurus. JANUS: Schala... SCHALA: Are you all right? Quickly, escape from the palace! And if you can, please rescue Melchior! SCHALA: He was sent to the Mountain of Woe for opposing the Queen. Please! You have to help him! I'm afraid I can't allow that... PROPHET: Your meddling tires me. You'll...just have to disappear! SCHALA: You mustn't! PROPHET: ......! JANUS: Stop! PROPHET: Okay...I'll spare them. But in return, you WILL cooperate, Schala! PROPHET: Now, show me how you came here. The Mammon Machine was moved to the Ocean Palace to obtain the raw energy of Lavos. The Ocean Palace is complete. Zeal will rule forever!! Our kingdom is shrouded in eternal light. There is no sadness or fear, only eternal peace. The Queen took Schala with her to the Ocean Palace. We Enlightened Ones will finally attain immortality. The way to the Ocean Palace is through the Queen's hall. A day will come when all may see the shining new Mammon Machine. DALTON: Phooey! Why is the Prophet allowed inside while I'm stuck with guard duty? DALTON: Ha! There you are... DALTON: I let the Prophet go, knowing he'd mess up sooner or later. But I've no use for you anymore. DALTON: You're history! DALTON: N...nooooo! I'm going to be immortal! I CAN'T be beaten now! MUNE: The black energy grows... Something scary is waking up! QUEEN: Schala, raise the power of the Mammon Machine to its limit! SCHALA: ...... QUEEN: Schala! You dare to disobey me?! SCHALA: All right, mother... PROPHET: ...... QUEEN: Oh...what bright splendor! The incredible power of Lavos!!! SCHALA: Aagh... PROPHET: ...... QUEEN: Ahh, I can feel it! The pulse of eternal life!!! Ha, ha, ha...! SCHALA: D...dark...force...wild energy...! Aughhh! PROPHET: ......!! Th, the Mammon Machine! Your majesty, it's too dangerous! SCHALA: Mother...! QUEEN: Don't stop Schala! We're almost there... Immortality will be ours! Zeal will have the glory it deserves! QUEEN: Mwa, ha, ha... Too long have I waited...! This is the hall of the Mammon Machine... Now is the time to turn back, nu... Marle: Schala! We're here to save you, c'mon!! Lucca: We just made it in time! It's a pity, but I'll have to turn this machine off! Robo: A gravitational pull!? I sense a dimensional warp! Frog: We shan't allow thee to meddle with Lavos, Queen! Ayla: Ayla come! Where strong beast?! SCHALA: You're...! SCHALA: Help!! PROPHET: Schala...! QUEEN: What are you doing Schala?! I need your help here! Marle: Crono...! The Red Knife! Lucca: Quickly Crono! There's no time! Robo: Use the knife from Melchior to stop the Mammon Machine. Frog: Crono, use the old man's knife to stop the Machine! Ayla: Crono! Use Red Knife!! MASA: Here we go Mune! MUNE: Ready, big brother! Frog: T, 'tis... ...the Masamune?! Lucca: The Machine's energy changed the knife into a sword? Marle: Whoa...! It turned into the Masamune!? Robo: The knife used the Machine's power to become a sword? QUEEN: Th, the Mammon Machine!? PROPHET: It's coming...! SCHALA: N, no stop! That sword alone can't stop it! I've waited for this... Magus: I've been waiting for you, Lavos. Magus: I swore long ago... that I'd destroy you! No matter what the price! It is time to fulfill that vow. Feel my wrath, Lavos!! What do you think you can do? QUEEN: Hmph! A false prophet... You'll be a snack for the great Lavos! SCHALA: Mother, please stop! This power can only end in ruin! QUEEN: Get away from there, Schala! The almighty life force of Lavos lives in all of us... You are a part of it! You cannot change fate now! Oppose me and I will destroy you also! Aaaah! Nooo! SCHALA: Heeelp! Magus: Uh oh... QUEEN: Come Prophet, feel the power of Lavos! Magus: Ungh! Magus: Aaah!! My powers are being drained! Magus: Unghh... I won't...be beaten! I survived the darkness to defeat you, Lavos! Magus: Take this, Lavos! Aaugh!! Magus: Wh, what...? It doesn't work?! Aughhh!! QUEEN: Foolish one! Your measly power can't touch Lavos! QUEEN: This is from me to you! You shall enjoy eternal life... ...as part of Lavos! Uwa, ha, ha, ha...! Marle: Can you move, Crono? Please help Schala! Lucca: A...are you all right? At this rate we'll all... Uooo! Frog: Magus! Thou art mine to defeat! Ayla: Stand up, Crono! Ayla no like lose! Robo: The dimensional warp is getting bigger! We cannot stay! Marle: Crono... We can't leave Schala here. Frog: Aack...! Halt... Magus! Lucca: Science has finally failed me. Robo: If we're caught in that energy field, our molecular structure will be disrupted! Ayla: Errgh...! Ayla no lose! Start fight now! SCHALA: P...please escape... Crono! Humans can't hope to defeat it. QUEEN: So! You are Crono. Why don't it do as Schala says, and run away, yelping in terror? Isn't your life precious to you? Mwa, ha, ha! Magus: S, Schala... Are you all right? QUEEN: Haven't given up yet? What do you hope to do? You challenge Lavos with that battered body of yours? QUEEN: Mwa, ha, ha... See the power of Lavos and feel his wrath! Marle: Crono!! Lucca: Stop, Crono! Robo: Crono! Frog: Desist Crono!! Ayla: Crono! Magus: Lavos!! Crono...?! Crono...! Marle: Crono? Where's Crono...!? NOOOO!!! Lucca: Crono...! There was nothing I could do! Robo: The Palace is collapsing! We must escape now! Frog: Argh...! We must plan our escape! The Palace crumbles! Ayla: This bottom of ocean! What can do? Magus: I can't...beat him. Lavos...! SCHALA: The last of my pendant's power will send you to safety. SCHALA: I know you can't forgive her but... ...please don't hate mother, or our kingdom. SCHALA: I'm so sorry! Now, off you go! Magus: ......! SCHALA: ...... Crono...... Marle: Crono...! Lucca: The Chrono Trigger... ...the Guru's Time Egg...! And there we all are! We're back at that instant! Robo: It appears that time has been suspended! Magus: A time freeze... I never thought it possible. Frog: Like stone statues. 'Tis eerie... Ayla: Only us move? We'll just exchange the Clone for Crono. Marle: Crono? It's Crono...! Crono?! You're alive!!!! Lucca: We've got to hurry! Robo: What a relief! Crono, you're all right! Frog: 'Tis an eerie place. Let us withdraw quickly. Ayla: Hurry! We take Crono! Magus: Save the hellos for later! We've got work to do. Magus: ...... Magus: What a pity... We weren't able to change a thing. QUEEN: So Melchior? You see, the Mammon Machine functions perfectly. Your worries were for naught. QUEEN: The Guru of Reason, Belthasar. QUEEN: And the Guru of Time, Gaspar... QUEEN: Foolish ones, watch closely. Lavos awakens! The sun will never set on Zeal! GASPAR: Hmm...! A dimensional warp! BELTHASAR: This power is beyond human control! MELCHIOR: No...! We'll be dragged into the warp! SCHALA!! SCHALA: No Janus!! Stay away! JANUS: B, but!? MELCHIOR: It, it's a...!! GASPAR: A Timegate!? BELTHASAR: No!! SCHALA: Gurus! JANUS: S, Schalaaa!! SCHALA: Janus!!! 11) ****************************************************************************************** 11 1G version Sealed by a mysterious force...... Princess!

I heard the Princess ran away from home again! This is the renowned "Tent of Horrors!" Spend your <$0D> Silver Points here! Parental discretion advised. No time to talk. I'm just sitting down for my lunch. Those runners are busy racing, so they won't talk to you. This Kingdom's been through a lot, like the war against Magus, 400 years ago. Thank goodness things are so peaceful now. I heard this guy pays big bucks for charms, weapons, pendants, and other rarities. Keep going if you want to demo Lucca's robot battle trainer! Collect Silver Points if you win! This is Leene Square. They say people who hear Leene's Bell ring will have interesting and happy lives! What's the big deal? So what if we won a war against a Wizard hundreds of years ago! They're still setting up. Why don't it come back in a while? I heard Lucca and her dad have made another crazy invention. Hope it doesn't blow up like all the others! They ought to be ready now. Make for the far side of the Square. Marle: This is going to be fun! Come on, Crono! Lucca's device is all set up. She's at the north end of the Square. Marle: Hold your horses! I want to get some candy. Marle: Give me just a second! Marle: There's no need to drag me by the arm like some kidnapper! Marle: Hi! I'd like some of this. LADY: Sure, young lady. Marle: Thanks for waiting! Marle: Hee, hee. You're such a pig, Crono! Marle: You're so sweet, Crono! Marle: You're awfully competitive, aren't you, Crono? Marle: Crono... I'm having a great time! The merchants went back to their warehouse to stock up on more goods. You have <$0D> Silver Points. Want to exchange 10 Silver Points for 50 G? Yes. No. Not enough Silver Points. Come again. I hate fairs! Say, do you know the latest gossip? Yes. No. Then scram! Just between us, I heard that the King is distressed over his tomboy of a daughter! Just once, I would like to see how wild she really is! TABAN: Step right on up, any of you who have the time and the courage! Our `Super Dimension Warp' is the invention of the century! TABAN: To use it, jump up here... TABAN: ...and you'll get teleported here! It's the masterwork of my beautiful daughter, Lucca. TABAN: Give it a try, kid? ...Oh, it's you, Crono! TABAN: Don't worry, we tried it on our pets! There's no reason why it shouldn't work as well on humans! So, step right up! TABAN: It...WORKED?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! Uh, er, a thrilling display of science at its best, ladies and gentlemen! Lucca: Crono! Lucca: Where have you been!? No one wants to try the Telepod! How about it? Lucca: Just hop onto the left pod! Lucca: So, how was it? Want to try it again? Marle: It looks like fun! I'll watch while you try it out! Marle: What a kick! I want to try it, too! Lucca: Huh? Lucca: Hey Crono, how did you pick up a cutie like her? Marle: Hang on, Crono! I'll be right there! TABAN: Behold, ladies and gentlemen, as this vision of loveliness steps aboard the machine! Marle: Don't go away. I'll be right back! TABAN: You're sure about this...? There's still time to change your mind! Marle: No way! Throw the switch! TABAN: Okay, everyone, let's give her a great big hand when she reappears! TABAN: All systems on! Lucca: Begin energy transfer! Marle: What's happening? My pendant...it's... Lucca: She's so familiar! I KNOW I've seen her somewhere... Lucca: Huh? ALL: Oh wow. That was GREAT! TABAN: Hmm? TABAN: Lucca! Where is she?! Lucca: ...... TABAN: Show's over, folks! Let's head along now! TABAN: What's going on Lucca? WHERE IS SHE? Lucca: The way she disappeared... It couldn't have been the Telepod! The warp field seemed to be affected by her pendant... TABAN: What are we going to do now? Lucca: Crono! You brought her here, YOU get her back! Lucca: Crono! TABAN: You're actually going to do it?! What a fine lad! Lucca: Listen! I don't know where this machine is going to send you, but we haven't any other choice. TABAN: Won't they both be lost? Lucca: This is our only hope! That pendant seems to be the key, so hang on to it Crono, and brace yourself! Lucca: Power to full! TABAN: Roger! Lucca: More! Give me more power! Lucca: There! We did it! Lucca: I'll follow you after I know what went wrong. Good luck, Crono! Marle: Phew! We're back! Marle: Crono, Lucca, why don't it come home with me to the castle? I'd like you to come over for dinner! Lucca: Sorry for putting you through all that, Marle. Marle: Are you joking? That's the most fun I've had in months! And I have some new friends, too! Lucca: Crono, be a gentleman and take her home. I've got some work to do. Marle: See you soon, Lucca! Marle: Will you escort me home, Crono? Check out that girl's glasses! She could probably see the back side of the moon with those. Wow! Lucca's inventions never work right. I guess even HER inventions have to work, sometimes. I'm the lawyer, Pierre. I'm the Chancellor, the prosecutor! CHANCELLOR: Members of the court. We now bring forth the defendant, Crono, who is charged with abducting Princess Nadia. CHANCELLOR: What shall we do with him? Fire, perhaps? Hang him upside down for a few years? Or...shall we employ the guillotine? CHANCELLOR: You, the jury, shall decide his fate. Now, let us begin. JUDGE: Crono, you are hereby ordered to tell the truth! PIERRE: Crono is charged with "Premeditated Abduction of Royalty." The question is, did he kidnap Princess Nadia? The answer? No, he did not. In fact, no `abduction' took place! PIERRE: The two met completely by accident. In fact, the Princess ASKED Crono if SHE could join HIM! CHANCELLOR: Is this true? Who actually started this whole mess? I did. Marle did. CHANCELLOR: Just as I suspected! The defendant deliberately tried to get near the Princess! CHANCELLOR: Are you sure? We have witnesses who'll say YOU were the one that bumped into the princess. CHANCELLOR: The Princess then innocently followed you to Lucca's little sideshow. Whereupon you both disappeared! If that wasn't criminal abduction, I don't know WHAT is! CHANCELLOR: And I have facts that throw the defendant's character into question! PIERRE: Objection! This can't have any relevance whatsoever to this case! JUDGE: Care to respond, Chancellor? CHANCELLOR: Crono's character is at the very core of this case! PIERRE: We have nothing to hide. PIERRE: We have a witness. A little girl who will vouch for the character of the defendant. This nice man... He brought me my kitty. Thank you for being so kind! PIERRE: How about that? Doesn't this young man deserve a medal? PIERRE: Whew... Looks like they're buying it. CHANCELLOR: The defendant's cruelty is quite evident. CHANCELLOR: You remember HER, don't you? The poor little girl who lost her cat? You wouldn't even listen to her! You ignored me! CHANCELLOR: Oh you poor dear! Thank you. CHANCELLOR: As you can see, no further proof is necessary here. CHANCELLOR: Have you ever stolen anything? Well...yes. No! I've never been a stief. CHANCELLOR: See! He lacks morals! This should be on the record! He's crying out for help! CHANCELLOR: DO NOT feign ignorance! We have a witness. Him! He ate my lunch right off the table! CHANCELLOR: Let the record show that he stole from a poor, helpless man! PIERRE: The issue here is MOTIVE. Was there any motive for this fine citizen to kidnap Princess Nadia? No! There was none. CHANCELLOR: What about ransom? Crono, her fortune DID tempt you, did it not? No. Yes. CHANCELLOR: So, you admit it! CHANCELLOR: Nothing more your honor. The prosecution rests. CHANCELLOR: Are you sure? You really weren't tempted? Not at all. Just a bit. CHANCELLOR: That's enough. I have no more questions. PIERRE: It is evident that my client is a fine, noble young man! Your honor, the defense rests. CHANCELLOR: Please keep in mind that he just said he had NO interest in her fortune. Witness please! He can't fool me, I saw him with my own eyes! Dear me! I'm so nervous! That man grabbed the pendant even before he checked to see if the Princess was okay! He didn't seem to want to return it, either. He tried to sell it to the merchant, Melchior. CHANCELLOR: And this person's final bit of testimony will prove our case! I heard it clearly. I heard her cry out with my own ears! Is that it? Can I go?! JUDGE: Members of the jury... If he is guilty, stand to the left. If innocent, stand to the right. Guilty. Not guilty. Order in the court! A verdict has been reached! We have a majority! The verdict is...guilty! The sentence? Solitary confinement, pending execution in 3 days! The verdict is...not guilty! But the fact remains that even if he did not kidnap her, he ran off with her. 3 days solitary confinement as punishment. CHANCELLOR: Take him away! Marle: Now just a darn minute... CHANCELLOR: Princess! KING: That's enough, my dear! Marle: But Father...! KING: All I asked was for you to behave like a princess. Even royalty must obey rules. Leave the rest up to the Chancellor and forget about the events in town. KING: We're leaving! Marle: Crono!!! Aaagh! BOY: Th, this is a terrible place! Y, you'd best run away while you can! The...Medal. ...The Hero's...Medal... Frog: Hand'eth over the Masamune! Frog: Mine name is Glenn! Cyrus's hopes and dreams... And now the Masamune... Frog: Forthwith I shall slay Magus and restore honor! A note written in blood! `The Juggler in Magus's castle... strengthens his guard when attacked. Beware!' Frog: Be that magic you use? I hath heard only magicians wield it now. Travel to the End of Time, and you, too, may learn to use magic. Robo: Travel to the End of Time, and you may gain the use of magic. It's closed tightly. Walk when the wind dies and hide behind trees when it blows. Be careful! It's slippery. Fall, and you'll have to start over. Push the shell... Climb the shell... So! You want a Crono Clone?

DUMB: The boss is itching to avenge the grudge that's been in the family for 13 generations! Gee hee! DUMBER: He's gonna frame the king! Ga haw! Marle: So there IS a plot! Let's hurry! This is the treasury. No entry permitted! Ouch! A rat bit me! No entry allowed! So! The Chancellor was a beast! Marle: Let me through!! Princess, not even you may enter. Marle: What ARE you saying!? It's a lie! There IS no heirloom! Marle: Aha! The "Rainbow Shell" we gave to my ancestor 400 years ago is still here. Marle: It's probably in the basement! Lucca: Find the "Rainbow Shell," and we'll be able to prove the King's innocence! Lucca: We changed history back in 600 AD, so the "Rainbow Shell" should still be in the castle! Robo: The "Rainbow Shell" will prove the King's innocence. Robo: We altered history in 600 AD! The "Rainbow Shell" should be here in the castle. Frog: 'Tis the "Rainbow Shell" that shall prove his innocence. Frog: Hast thou forgotten? History hath been changed, and the shell is within the castle. Ayla: Take `Rainbow Shell!' Save Marle's father!! Ayla: Remember Marle?! We ask old king save shell! "Rainbow Shell" here now! Magus: Taking the "Rainbow Shell" to them will solve this problem. Magus: Idiot! Have you forgotten our trip to 600 AD? Marle: You won't reconsider? SOLDIER: No, Princess. Marle: There is one way... It's a bit rough, but just follow me! What? You want to be put on trial again or something? Pierre's, he's in the soldier's quarters. Marle: The Rainbow Shell!! Lucca: What's this...a letter? Robo: There is a letter? Frog: Why, 'tis a letter? Ayla: Something here! Paper here, paper! Magus: There's a letter here. Shall we burn it? Marle: To Marle...? "Dearest Marle, I know things are tough between you and your father. But nothing can break your bond of blood. Neither words of anger, nor great distances. Someday, when you have children, you will understand. This special bond is part of a family tree which links us together. -Queen Guardia XXI, Leene." Lucca: Boy, can she tell it like it is!! Robo: Although I have no emotions, there is something warm and cozy about this letter. Frog: Dear Queen Leene...! Let us now make haste and fulfill our quest! Ayla: Ayla know about leaving nest! Time pass, grow big, leave nest! Ayla leave nest! Dactyl leave nest too. Marle leave too? Big change! Ayla: Leave nest! Have baby! Baby grow big! Leave nest too! Ayla: Sure you ready leave nest? Not too big yet. Magus: Perhaps we could have this conversation later...? Marle: Father! Hang in there, we're coming! You got the Rainbow Shell! MELCHIOR: This is a very rare! As armor, it deflects magic! I can make you 1 Prism Dress, featuring maximum defense. Or I can make 3 less-effective Prism Helms. Which would you prefer? 1 Prism Dress 3 Prism Helms MELCHIOR: The Prism Dress? Only females may equip it. I want the Prism Dress. I've changed my mind. MELCHIOR: You want Prism Helms? You're sure? Yes No MELCHIOR: All right, you just wait there! MELCHIOR: Finished! Off you go, now! MELCHIOR: I finally feel like I'm doing something worthwhile! MELCHIOR: Interesting substance! I could make some great stuff with an alloy of it! MELCHIOR: Ahh! A Sun Stone! I'll create an alloy out of it! MELCHIOR: Heh heh! Don't think that's the last of my bag of tricks!

GUARD: It's the apes!!! JAILER: Thanks for bringing, er, being the main course! KINO: Ayla! Ayla: Kino get back! Ayla save you! Marle: Wow! Lucca: What are you doing in there?! Robo: That method does not appear to be rational. Frog: Hmmph. KINO: Sorry Ayla. All Kino's fault. Ayla: No matter. Kino escape with Laruba villagers! Kino: What Ayla do? Ayla: Put end to this! KINO: Kino go too! Ayla: Kino no come. If Ayla dead, Kino new chief of Ioka! KINO: Ayla... Ayla: Ayla strong. No lose! KINO: Kino understand. And show you something! You strong, me weak. Ayla good chief! Lucca: So Lavos arrived in this period. Robo: So Lavos was `born' here... Marle: So! Lavos descended in this era! Frog: Through no fault of Magus does Lavos live! Lavos hath fallen from the sky in ancient times. Ayla: Lavos huge! Crono fight it? Ayla: Crono! We go where Lavos fall! Lucca: We may be able to do something now! Let's go find out! Robo: Lavos should be weaker now. Perhaps we can put an end to him?! Marle: It just arrived so there may be something we can do! Let's go see! Frog: Left unscathed, it will burrow deep within the earth. Best to defeat it now! Marle: Th, there's a Gate! Lucca: Why is there a Gate here?! Robo: A Gate has formed! Frog: 'Tis a Gate? Ayla: Lavos very fast! Deep under earth already. Marle: This Gate was made by Lavos. Maybe Lavos is the source of all Gates? Lucca: Now I understand! The immense energy that Lavos gives off alters time and creates Gates. Robo: It appears that the immense energy that Lavos radiates alters time and creates Gates. Frog: M, mayhap Lavos be the cause of this warp? The one in Magus's Castle was immense. Ayla: What wrong, Crono? Fight Lavos! Go in here. Yes? Marle: Boy, this is exciting! Lucca: Well it IS the Gate nearest to Lavos. We have no idea as to where it leads. Robo: The Time Gyro says... What!? 12,000 years in the past?! That was some trip! Frog: Wh, where art we? 'Tis strange...! Ayla: Where this, Crono?! The power is sealed... PROPHET: Hmm...so you came in through here. PROPHET: Now Schala! After I throw them in, I want it to seal the portal shut. SCHALA: N, no! You can't make me! PROPHET: Obey me! Their lives are at stake! SCHALA: I...oh, all right... SCHALA: Please forgive me... Marle: Why did the Prophet let us go? Lucca: The Prophet could have just done away with us. Robo: Why would the Prophet spare us? Frog: 'Tis true, he hath spared us. But something is amiss. Lucca: The key to defeating Lavos must exist in that period. Robo: The key to defeating Lavos must exist in that era. Frog: Where hast Magus gone? I shan't allow him to get away. Ayla: They take energy from Lavos. Lavos not get weak? Marle: But we can't get back to that time. What can we do? Lucca: But the Gate to that time has been sealed. Is there another way back? Robo: But the Gate has been shut. Frog: Yet Schala hast sealed the Gate. 'Tis not possible to returneth. Ayla: Door gone. No can return. Marle: Wait a minute. I've seen the design on the doors this pendant opens, somewhere else... Lucca: The crest on those sealed doors... We've seen it elsewhere, haven't we?! Robo: Wait. The crest on the doors that the pendant opens... I have seen them in my own time! Frog: Thou hast seen elsewhere the crest on the doors that the pendant opens, correct? Marle: Let's check it out, Crono! Lucca: We may yet find our way back to that era! Let's get cracking, Crono! Robo: Let us return to my time! Frog: 'Tis time to depart, eh, Crono?! So, this is the summit of Death Peak! Marle: All who fear the night and stand against the darkness... Please give us strength! Lucca: You who fear the night and fight the coming of darkness... Give us strength! Robo: You who fight the onslaught of night and darkness... Please lend us your power. Frog: We ask for your strength... Thee who fear'eth the night and stand 'gainst the darkness. Lucca: Crono! Robo: Crono! Frog: Crono! Ayla: Crono! The pendant's reacting! It, it shattered!! Marle: But... We've come so far! Marle: Please answer me! Don't leave me!!! Crono--!! Lucca: It can't be! What use was it to come so far? Lucca: Crono! Say something! Don't ignore us! Frog: 'Tis folly... To hath travelled so far. Frog: Crono! Giveth an answer! Robo: That can't be it! We've worked so hard. Robo: Crono! Please answer us! Lucca: Don't be sad. It was silly to think we could get him back... Robo: Do not dispair. We placed too much hope in bringing Crono back. Frog: Despair not... Fate be not malleable. Ayla: No sadness! Ayla lonely too! Sad Crono not come back. Marle: Crono! Welcome back Crono!! Lucca: Crono! It's about time!! Frog: Crono! 'Tis good of you to return, Crono. Robo: Crono! Welcome back!! Lucca: I'm so glad you're back, Crono! Frog: How art thou feeling, Crono? Robo: Oh... Crono! What a relief to have you with us again. Ayla: Crono back!! Crono okay? Marle: We... We knew this day would come. Marle: You mustn't... You can't do that ever again! Lucca: You dummy! You wouldn't believe what we had to go through for you! Lucca: You mess up again... And we won't save you! Frog: Thou art a lucky lad. Thy friends be loyal and true! Robo: We have all been waiting for you! Marle and Lucca and... Well, all of us! Magus: Hmph! Enough of this sappy stuff! Marle: While you were away... A lot of things happened. First, we...and then... And after that we..., but... Crono! Are you even listening?! There's so much you have to know. Lucca: While you were gone we had a terrible time! Marle had to......, and... So then we...and I had to... Hey! You listening, Crono? You can be so irritating sometimes! You got 3 Prism Helms! 12) ***************************************************************************************** Cheers! You made it to one of the endings!

Robo: After 400 years of experience, I have come to think that Lavos may not be responsible for the Gates. Marle: What do you mean? Robo: I have come to think that someone, or something wanted us to see all this. The different events over time, that we have witnessed. It is almost as if some entity wanted to relive its past. Ayla: Ayla know! When people die, elders say, see whole life pass by! Frog: 'Tis true that mortals do relive their most profound memories before death claimeth them. Yet those memories most often are sad ones. Robo: Thinking things like, "If only I had done this," or, "I shouldn't have done that..." triggers unpleasant, old memories. Marle: Will that happen when our time comes? Lucca: Probably...who knows? Marle: Is there a point in time you'd want to return to, Lucca? Lucca: No...not really... Marle: I'm sorry, was that something I shouldn't have asked? Lucca: It's ok, it's just something I don't like to think about too much. Frog: Lavos playeth an integral role in the fortunes of this Entity... Magus: ...so who is this Entity? Robo: It is unknown, whose memories these are. It may be something beyond our comprehension. Our journey may come to an end when we finally discover the identity of the Entity. ... ...shall we turn in for the night? Robo: I'll give you my legs! They're lightweight and well balanced. You could mount some treads on me instead. Robo: Don't be so sad Lucca! Lucca: Thanks, you're such a good friend. Robo: A...friend? Me, a robot? You called me your friend? Robo: Lucca, you've got a kind heart. You're always thinking of others. Robo: This is for you. It's a piece of amber I created using the sap from a tree in my forest. It took 400 years and a lot of pressure to make! I hope you'll find it useful. Lucca: Robo... you're so sweet. Lucca: Robo... you're so sweet. 13) ****************************************************************************************** Welcome to Enhasa, in the magical kingdom of Zeal. We find truth in the bliss of sleep. Dear me! And who might you be? This is the eternal kingdom of Zeal, where dreams can come true. But at what price? Am I a butterfly dreaming I'm a man... Or a bowling ball dreaming I'm a plate of sashimi? Never assume that what you see and feel is real! I'm Doreen. Seek the hidden path, and open the doors of knowledge, each in turn. Welcome, what can I do for you? The Queen has sealed the Elemental Weapons in the north palace. You can see its entrance on the northern continent, but no one is allowed there. The door to the north palace is sealed with a mysterious energy. Even we, the Enlightened Ones, cannot open it. What strange visitors! Welcome to Zeal! Is this part of a dream? Queen Zeal rules our magical kingdom. She is without peer in beauty and greatness. The Queen has given us everything! After the King died, she nurtured magic, which has advanced the kingdom. Zzzz...

I bet there's a key to it in the palace. But entry is strictly forbidden. Do you believe in Fate? Which means our lives are all predetermined? Well? Yes, of course. No such thing as Fate. I don't have time for this! So! You're a believer! Yes, it is useless for us to fight destiny! You're right! We're the masters of our own destinies! Speaking of which... I believe there may be a doorway of destiny somewhere around here! ...... The city of Kajar, where they study magic, lies on the edge of the western continent. The airship, "Blackbird," is kept there. Zzz... Zzz...zzz... Truths exist in dreams... Herbal tea...zzz...crystals...zzz... This is a Spring of Recovery. Heal your mind and body here. BOY: ......

What are the percentages? Frog: Urchin! Halt! Ayla: ??? Marle: Crono... This is kinda creepy. Lucca: It's only a bad joke! It's unscientific. Robo: Why did he say such a thing? Frog: I knoweth not what this portends. What an unpleasant lad. Ayla: Strange one... But not bad boy. The Guru of Reason, is gone. Challenge me? Yes. No. Ok, here we go. Oh, okay... You're strong! Take this. Weaklings. Nu... You got a Magic Tab! You got a Speed Tab! Nu...... "The Mystery of Life" Vol. 841, Ch. 26 All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu... This is the truth! This is my belief! ...at least for now. ...... ...... I've got Lode Shields, but I cannot sell them unless the Queen says it's okay. ...... Is that Schala's Pendant? Yes. No. ...... I hate liars. ...... Welcome. Come again. The Ocean Palace lies deep beneath the waves. It's a symbol of the Queen's power! The Palace is the source of light which sustains all living things. Queen Zeal, the great! The construction of the Ocean Palace is behind schedule. Eternal Palace, beneath the waves... It'll be a sight to see when it's done! The Earthbound Ones are being allowed to work on the construction of the Palace. So they do have a purpose after all. The Palace is finished! This heralds the dawn of the eternal kingdom of Zeal!! This is the magical city of Kajar. We do experiments for the Queen. My, you've got an unusual aura! So, you must possess the skill, too! It must be very primitive compared to ours! You poor things! Those lacking magic have always lived beneath the clouds, as the `Earthbound Ones.' After all, they lack what we have... How did we come by our skills? And why do others lack them? Who cares! We've been seeing a lot of Janus lately. He appears upset and paces around. His only friend, other than his sister, is that stupid cat. What tempest rages in his head? The Gurus of Life, Time, and Reason, live in Zeal. Their skill and knowledge is supreme. Zeal's advances stem from a new energy source. Its power surpasses that of the elements. Your power differs from ours... In you I sense a strange aura of...kindness... I'm working on a tab that will boost magical skill. But my precious products have been disappearing lately... Must be the naughty Nu that hid them. They love pranks... What can I do? Oops, that's a defective item. Too bad, huh? Ha ha ha. I heard a strange prophet has come to the palace. I don't know the details...but I heard he has uncanny powers. Indeed! That great aeroplane `Blackbird,' which Belthasar built. When it soars in the sky, it looks alive! Belthasar is truly a genius! Queen Zeal has two heirs, Schala and Janus. Schala's an incredible child who has extraordinary magical powers. Being so gifted, she'll breeze through life. I heard Schala's powers far exceed those of her mother. Then there's her step-brother, Janus. He's of royal blood, but he doesn't seem to have a speck of magic. That's the Sun Keep you see on the southern continent. A Sun Stone, once the source of this world's power, was kept there. But when we began using our new energy source, it was sealed up just like the north palace. They claim we don't need the energy of this tired, old planet. A Guru once told me that the Sun Stone could store the almost infinite energy of our sun. But if its energy were used up, it would lose its glow and change into a Moon Stone. Did you know a Moon Stone can be recharged if you leave it in the sun? But it takes aeons, so it's unlikely for us to see that gorgeous glow again. Scratch, scratch... Oooh... Phew...! Tee hee...! ...... Water summons wind... ...wind makes fire dance. You've found something strange! But a "Black Rock" is inside! It all began aeons ago, when man's ancestors picked up a shard of a strange red rock... Its power, which was beyond human comprehension, cultivated dreams... In turn, love and hate were born... Only time will see how it all ends. You got 1 <$1F>! You found 1 <$1F>! Combine the ancient Rainbow Shell and the Sun Stone to create incredible weapons and items. But now, only the Guru of Life has the skill. Elemental power usage is forbidden. Ah! Plants are so content! I wish I could be, too. ed. Marle: A seed? Do you suppose it could grow in a place like this? 14) ******************************************************************************************* Ayla: Crono!! Lucca: You can't be serious about going alone! Marle: Don't even THINK about leaving us behind! Frog: Thou goest forth alone? I know not thine quest, but a comrade of Crono's is also mine. I will not allow thee to meet thy demise alone. Ayla: No! Tyrano lair dangerous! Maybe all perish! Lucca: Listen, we owe you one! Lucca: Right, Crono? Marle: We can't let you go alone! Ayla, you saved us. Now it's payback time! Marle: Right Crono? Frog: You desire to perish? I refuseth to be party to yet another demise! Frog: Let us proceed, Crono. Ayla: Ayla have strong friends! Lucca: We're all going to the Tyrano Lair! Marle: Ayla, let's go! Next stop, the Tyrano Lair! Robo: Let us proceed to the Tyrano Lair! MASA: The ancient Red Rock has been passed down through the ages. From it, a magic pendant and a knife were made. We embody Melchior's dreams, sealed, within the knife... MASA: Now hurry, if you plan to confront the Queen. We're counting on you! ELDER: Um! Your'e awake! Marle: Crono!! Lucca: Crono! Robo: Crono! Frog: Crono! Ayla: Crono! ELDER: You were delirious. Marle: Crono!!! Where's Crono? Lucca: Crono!! Where's Crono? Robo: Crono!! Where's Crono? Frog: Crono! What hast thou done with Crono? Ayla: Crono! Where Crono?! ELDER: We found no one else... Marle: So it wasn't a dream. Lucca: So it wasn't a dream... Robo: I had hoped that was a memory error... Frog: First Cyrus, and now Crono... Ayla: No! That not true! Crono strong! Crono not gone! Lucca: Where are we? Is this the Earthbound Village? Robo: Is this the Earthbound Village? Frog: Be this the Earthbound Village? Ayla: Where this? This Earthbound Village? ELDER: This island was the only refuge left, after the Ocean Palace disaster. Lucca: This is so depressing. No era is safe, and there isn't much of a future to look forward to. Robo: We have failed... This era, too, has fallen into ruin. Frog: 'Tis a pity... Ayla: Metal bird? Place that float in sky? All gone? Lucca: Melchior! Where's Melchior? Robo: Is Sir Melchior here? Frog: Whither hath old man Melchior gone? Ayla: Melchior! Where Melchior!? ELDER: When the disaster struck, an eerie, black portal materialized. Melchior tried to save Janus, but he was also dragged in. Lucca: A "black portal?" A GATE!!! Robo: A "black portal?" No doubt, a Gate made by Lavos! Frog: A "black portal?" A GATE!!! Ayla: A "black portal?" Like one we step thru? Lucca: ... What about Schala? Robo: And what of Ms. Schala? Frog: That maiden, Schala... Whither hath she gone? Ayla: Where Schala? What happen? ELDER: I don't know. No one has seen her since. Lucca: Epoch! What happened to it? Robo: Epoch! Is it intact? Frog: Epoch! What fate hast befallen it? Ayla: Where Epoch? Epoch alive? ELDER: Your ship is quite sturdy and safe. It's almost as if it followed you here... Lucca: Marle... Robo: Marle... Frog: Marle... Ayla: Marle... Marle: Crono... Lucca: If Epoch is okay, my gut tells me that Crono is, too!!! Robo: Please calm down. This isn't like you at all. Frog: Thou hast lost thy friend before thine eyes. No words can comfort thee... Ayla: Marle cry, make Crono sad. Ayla no cry! Marle: ... ELDER: Oh, this must be yours. Marle: My... pendant. The one Crono held for me. Lucca: Marle's pendant... ...the one that Crono kept for her. Robo: The pendant from Crono's pocket. It's Marle's, right? Frog: 'Tis the pendant Crono kept. Ayla: Look! Pendant that Crono had! ELDER: Young lady, I found it on your shoulder, almost as if it were guarding you. ELDER: It was at your side, like a guardian... Lucca: Crono... Robo: Crono... Frog: Crono... Ayla: Crono...! ELDER: Take all the time you need to rest. I will be in the commons. Buy? A few `Enlightened Ones' did survive. But no distinctions remain between the `Enlightened' and the `Earthbound' anymore. How can I survive in this land without my magic? You don't need magic to survive. Besides, you're not alone! Gotta seize the day! You're absolutely right! We're alive, and there's always hope. A stranger trying to locate someone, passed by after you left. It can't be! Is it the Ocean Palace!? Everything and everyone sank to the bottom. Gee, seeing you has really made my day! What the heck is that? The sea of clouds has parted and the blizzard has finally abated. Could the long winter finally be over? I saw a suspicious looking person up north, on the cape. Don't tell me something else is gonna happen! We grew too dependent on a dangerous force. No one had ever seen the person who came looking for you. Could he be a friend of yours? A Moon Stone left in a sunlit spot for millennia, becomes a Sun Stone! The Sun Keep of Zeal had such a Stone! Very old stones are required to harvest useful amounts of power. I sense strong magic, like Lavos's, emanating from that ship. Zzz... Hurray! Hurray! What a massive ship! Hey mister, is this your cat? Must have cried himself to sleep. Let him be. Glad to see you've all recovered! I've never seen anything so ominous. ELDER: All rested up? ELDER: We're slowly recovering. We've got to start from scratch. What happened? Yea! Justice! Dalton got what he deserved! ELDER: Whoa! That ship can fly! SOLDIER: Bow, and pay homage to our new liege, King Dalton! DALTON: You there! What's wrong?! You're lucky to be alive! DALTON: The old crone and the pesky Gurus are gone. I now rename Zeal, the Kingdom of Dalton! DALTON: YOU! You're alive!? Ah! That vehicle outside must be yours! It's just like the one Belthasar was building... DALTON: I've decided you don't deserve such a splendid toy! Henceforth it shall be my personal chariot! Marle: Hey, you can't do that! Lucca: You've got to be joking! Robo: Impossible! Frog: Come again, Sir?! Ayla: Epoch! It Ayla friend! DALTON: You'll have to come with me! You might start a rebellion or something! DALTON: And now, as a token of my esteem for you... ...take this!! DALTON: What!? DALTON: Grrrr. DALTON: Ha! DALTON: How's this?! DALTON: Mwa, ha, ha! Enjoy a little taste of my true power! Magus: So, it's you... Marle: Magus... Lucca: Magus... Frog: Magus! Marle: You're... ...Janus, aren't you? Lucca: You...! You're...Janus? Frog: So! Thou art... ...thou art that filthy urchin! Magus: ... Magus: Ever since Lavos's time portal stranded me in the Middle Ages... I have waited to even the score. You interrupted me just when I had summoned Lavos to my castle. How ironic that, having been drawn into yet another portal, I would end up in this age. Being from the future, my knowledge of the past enabled me to convince the Queen that I was a mighty oracle. But no history book could have prepared me for what happened here. Unimaginable is the power of Lavos. Anyone who dares to oppose...it...meets certain doom. At this rate, you too, will meet a hideous fate. Just like that poor fool, Crono! Marle: How dare you! It's because of you that Crono's gone! Lucca: ...! It's your fault that Crono isn't here! Frog: ...! You dare to insult him?! Magus: He's history! Play with fire and you get burned. Marle: What an arrogant pig! Lucca: Pig!! Frog: Magus!! Hold thy tongue! Magus: You wish to fight me? Yes. No. Marle: Even if we defeat it, it won't bring Crono back. Lucca: Poor Crono. Fighting you won't bring him back. Frog: Vanquishing thee will neither return Crono nor Cyrus. Magus: Wait. Magus: I'll come with you. Marle: Say what? Lucca: Pardon?! Frog: Treachery!! Magus: You know, there just might be a way to bring him back. Marle: Y...you're joking?! Lucca: You're joking!? Frog: Nonsense...!? Magus: Gaspar, the Guru of Time, knows how to restore lost or misplaced time streams... Magus: Very well then... But you shall not defeat me easily! Magus: Defeat me, and you will break the curse on Frog. If... you want... to bring Crono back... find Gaspar, th...the Guru of Time... You got the Amulet. Frog: Stand back. Magus: ... I never imagined that we would settle our score in this dusty old era. Come, let us finish this charade! Frog: Cyrus, I hath avenged thee! Check back with him, because his wares vary from time to time. He's got more goods. You found a Magic Tab! Magus: Behold. Everything's at the bottom of the sea. Gone is the magical kingdom of Zeal, and all the dreams and ambitions of its people. Magus: I once lived there... But I was another person then. Magus: The lost Kingdom of Dreams. Sigh... To have gained so much, and then have lost it again... Come again. Will you stay? Yes. No. ... Dalton doesn't have what it takes to be a king. Mr. Dalton was rough on his employees and the pay wasn't great either. The Guru of Time gave me this sapling, but is there any place for it in this desolate new world? What shall I do? Burn it, it's just trash. Plant it, with hope. You're right, it has no place here... All right, I'll take good care of it. Who knows? Maybe someday it will save our environment. This mysterious sapling... Maybe someday it will help change our environment?! e's dream, ribbit? BOSS: My personal dream, huh...? Well...to be King of the Sewer! 15) ****************************************************************************************** During combat, the effect of each attack can vary. First, some of your attacks will damage more than one enemy. For example, target this critter... ...and your attack will hit another monster in the area. But if you target this one... ...you can get all three at once! Use this fact to your advantage! Next, you can hit enemies in your direct line of sight. There are two attack patterns. The first one... ...allows you to attack all the enemies oriented on a straight line from you. You may place the cursor on any one of them on the line. The other pattern... ...allows you to hit only the enemies in a straight line between you and the target. As in the previous example, all 3 creatures are targeted here, but... ...select this one, and that's all you'll get! Next, use an enemy to establish a line, and any others on it will also be hit. They're lined up horizontally here... The final pattern puts you at the center of the attack zone. You can't use an attack like this if your enemies are outside of the zone. However, your attack will hit all enemies inside the active zone! ...so you may target any of them. QUEEN: Behold, my pretties! Destiny, in its most brutal form. All the dreams that might have been. All the happiness, and sorrow, you might have experienced. Gone forever!!! For you there will be no tomorrow! QUEEN: The Dark Omen transcends time and space, waiting for Lavos to awaken! Destiny has led you here. And here you shall rest forever, unless you can defeat me, and smash the Omen! QUEEN: Come, dear friends. Perhaps I can persuade Lavos to share his dreams with you! Did I say dreams? I meant his eternal nightmare! QUEEN: Argh! My powers don't seem to work here! Wait! I'll simply toss you into the Mammon Machine! You'll be one with the Omen, Lavos...and me! You got the Moon Stone! Lucca: This is the ancient Sun Stone? It doesn't seem to have an ounce of energy left in it. We could probably recharge it with sunlight, but that would take aeons. Robo: This is the ancient Sun Stone? The years must have robbed it of its sparkle. But if we expose it to sunlight for approximately 65.2167 million years we just might be able to recharge it. Magus: So this is the Sun Stone. Its power has been lost over time. With the sun's energy, it could be recharged. But it'll take over 65 million years. Marle: Isn't this the ancient Sun Stone? But it no longer glows... Maybe it will regain its glow if we keep it in the sunlight! Might take a while, though. Frog: 'Tis the ancient Sun Stone! But it lacketh luster. Perhaps the sun can rekindle it! But how long will that take? That brat, Lucca, says she's made the discovery of a lifetime. Heh, heh...you're never too old to collect Silver Points! Hmm... It's taking forever for the King's parade to begin. I wonder if something's wrong? I'm so happy I could scream!
