1.) Release information
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the latest and greatest release of the CT scripts in text files. It's
made possible by the Chrono Trigger Retranslation, undertaken by KWhazit and
assisted by ZeaLitY and JLukas regarding formatting and script extraction
respectively. By all means, if you'd like to see the whole thing -- the NA,
Japanese, and retranslated versions all contrasted side by side -- head over
to http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Retranslation. Also worth checking
out is http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Translation_Differences. I'd put
the Japanese and retranslated versions here, but the Japanese unicode has a
hard time getting through the Gamefaqs filter.

Please note that this edition still only uses lines once, regardless of how
many times they appear in-game. This will make certain endings and other
areas (that rely on stock lines, such as "Not enough cash") seem to be empty.

Since this is the one that will appear on Gamefaqs, it is important to note
that Square Enix has copyrighted Chrono Trigger and that this script can only
be posted on the Chrono Compendium, Gamefaqs, and any other site given the
expression permission of ZeaLitY.

The Millennial Fair

 [Crono's House, 1000 A.D.]

 [Crono's Mom]
   Crono...

   Crono!

   Good morning, Crono!

MOM: Come on, sleepy head!
   Get up!

MOM: Ah, Leene's Bell makes such
   beautiful music!

MOM: You were so excited about the
   Millennial Fair that you didn't sleep
   well, did you...?

   I want you to behave yourself today!

MOM: Let's get moving, now!

MOM: Finally!
   By the way, that inventor friend of
   yours...

   Uh...you know...!
   Oh, dear, I've forgotten her name!

MOM: That's right, Lucca!
   Don't forget that she invited you to
   see her new invention!

MOM: Run along now, and be back
   before dinner.

MOM: Oh, I almost forgot!
   Here's your allowance, dear!
   Have fun at the fair!

               Received 200 G!

 [System]
   How about a snooze?
      Yes.
      No.

 [Truce Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   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?!

 [Young Man]
   That brat, Lucca, says she's made
   the discovery of a lifetime.

 [Young Woman]
   I'm so happy I could scream!

 [Truce Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [Waitress]
   Come on in!
   Take your bloody time...!
   I'd rather serve you than go to the
   fair, anyway...

 [Inn Keeper]
   Lodging is 10 G.
         Check in?
         No, thanks.

 [Innkeeper]
   Seeya around.

 [Young Man]
   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!»

 [Young Woman]
   Are you buying?
         Sure.
         Sorry.

 [Young Woman]
   Thanks!
   I'll play you a song!

 [Young Man]
   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!

 [Woman]
   This box has been in the family for
   generations.
   Open it, and you may have what's
   inside.

 [System]
          Sealed by a mysterious force...

 [Truce Market, 1000 A.D.]

 [Poyozo Doll]
   Visit our stall in Leene Square!

 [Mayor's Manor, Truce, 1000 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Young Man]
   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!

 [Little Boy]
  You can walk while reading messages.
  But go too far, and you can miss them!

 [Little Girl]
   Use the Y Button to move the
   Message/Battle window up or down.

 [Old Woman]
   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.

 [Soldier]
   All right, I'll teach you about skills. Are
   you willing to learn?
         Yes.

   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.

   That's about it.
   Feel more confident?

 [Mayor]
   Want my advice?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Mayor]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   Want to learn about damage in
   battle?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Ticket Office, Truce, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Sometimes a mysterious whirlpool
   appears in the ocean near here.
   What could cause that?

 [Ticket Clerk]
   It's 10 G to Porre.
   Hop aboard?
         Yes.
         No.

ELAINE: If only Fritz would return.
   I'd ask for nothing more!

ELAINE: I guess he's forgotten me.

 [Lucca's House]

LARA: Oh, hi Crono.
   Lucca's off at Leene Square with
   her father, Taban, unveiling her new
   invention.

TABAN: You're Lucca's friend right?

 [Guardia Forest, 1000 A.D.]

 [Sign]
   The forest leads north, to Guardia
   Castle.

 [Sign]
   Approaching Guardia Castle.
   No trespassing.

 [Sign]
   An open field lies ahead.

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

SOLDIER: Who's there!

SOLDIER: Can't let you through.
   Go check out the festival!

Marle: C'mon, let's check out the
   fair!

 [Zenan Bridge, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Going to the fair!

 [Old Man]
   Always wanted to go to a 1000th
   Anniversary!

 [Little Girl]
   Yea!
   A festival!
   Let's get crazy!

 [Merchant]
   I'm opening a  stall at the fairgrounds.
   Why don't you drop by!?

 [Man]
   All right, everyone!
   Let's have some fun!

 [Porre Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [Innkeeper]
   20G in advance...
   Well?
         Yes
         No

   Very well!

   Come again soon.

 [Mayor's Manor, Porre, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   The person I hate most?
   My dad, of course.

 [Little Boy]
   Dad loves money more than he loves
   me...

 [Little Girl]
   Everyone says Daddy's greedy.
   They're lying, right?

 [Woman]
   The children are slipping away from us.
   It's so sad...

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!

 [Porre Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Grandpa & Grandma went to the 1000th
   Anniversary in Truce.
   We're keeping an eye on things here!

 [Young Woman]
   I wanna go to the festival, too!

 [Snail Stop, Porre, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
  Some monsters coexist with humans.
  Like that piano player.

 [Man]
   Everyone's over at the festival.
   What fools!

 [Young Man]
   400 years ago a woman named Fiona
   died trying to save the great forest
   that once flourished to the north.
   How sad...

 [Shop Keeper]
   The piano man's got talent.
     Stop by and check...it...out!

 [Poyozo]
  I'm the piano man [musicsymbol]
        Play a sad one, Joe!
        Something upbeat, please!

 [Shop Keeper]
  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...

 [Ticket Office, Porre, 1000 A.D.]

 [Ticket Clerk]
   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.

 [Woman]
   I take the ferry every chance I get!

 [Little Boy]
   Nothing like a ferry ride!

 [Leene Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Old Man]
   Welcome to the Millennial Fair!
   Have fun!

 [Little Girl]
   Those runners are busy racing, so they
   won't talk to you.

 [Man]
   Press the A Button while facing the
   bell. Judge your distance carefully, and
   press the A Button again!

   Impressive!
   I'll put 1 Silver Point on your card!

 [System]
   Can't carry any more Silver Points.

 [Old Woman]
   This Kingdom's been through a lot,
   like the war against Magus,
   400 years ago.

   Thank goodness things are so peaceful
   now.

 [Young Woman]
   I heard this guy pays big bucks for
   charms, weapons, pendants, and other
   rarities.

 [Little Boy]
   What's the big deal?
   So what if we won a war against a
   Wizard hundreds of years ago!

 [Young Man]
   Guess the winner?
         Sure!
         No thanks.

         A. Steel Runner!
         B. Green Ambler!
         C. Catalack!
         D. G. I. Jogger!

 [Young Man]
   The race is on.
   Be quiet and watch!

 [Old Man]
   The Steel Runner might try something.

   I knew it!
   It's the Green Ambler!

   Catalack, you're a sure bet!

   Can't anyone beat G. I. Jogger?

 [Young Man]
   Last round's winner: ...

   Steel Runner!

   Last round's winner: ...

   Green Ambler.

   Last round's winner: ...

   Catalack.

   Last round's winner: ...

   G. I. Jogger.

 [Young Man]
   That's great!
   I'll put your 20 Silver Points on the
   card!

 [Young Man]
   You can't earn any more points!

 [Old Woman]
   This is the renowned
   «Tent of Horrors!»
   Spend your  [num8] Silver Points here!
   Parental discretion advised.

 [Norstein]
   Welcome to Norstein Bekkler's lab.
   The spine tingling show is about to
   start!

   How many silver points would you
   like to pay?

         10 points.
         40 points.
         80 points.
         Cancel

   You can't play this game alone.
   Go and bring your friends.

   You don't have enough points.

 [Vicks]
   I'm Vicks.

 [Wedge]
   I'm Wedge.

 [Piette]
   I'm Piette.

 [Norstein]
   Find Vicks.

   Find Wedge?

   Find Piette?

 [Vicks/Wedge/Piette]
   Is it THAT obvious?

 [Norstein]
   It's a Poyozo doll.
   It'll spruce up your room!

 [Norstein]
   Mimic what you see!
   L...Left Arm   R...Right Arm
   Y...Laugh        A...Surprise!

   Start when you hear the signal.

   And...action!

   Excellent!

   The Clone will be at  [member1]'s house.

 [Norstein]
   Monsters are closing in!
   Throw your pack against them and
   push them back into the cage!

   A hostage will be slowly lowered into
   the flames! To save the day, you must
   hit the blue light, to raise the rope.

   Defeat all monsters before the
   hostage's goose is cooked!

   Well done!
   Take this cat!

   Cat food...
   I'll leave it at Crono's house, so his
   cat won't run away.

 [Young Man]
   Keep going if you want to demo
   Lucca's robot battle trainer!
   Collect Silver Points if you win!

 [Gato]
   They call me Gato [musicsymbol]
   I have metal joints [musicsymbol]
   Beat me up [musicsymbol]
   And earn 15 Silver Points [musicsymbol]

 [Gato]
   You're so weak [musicsymbol]
   And I'm so strong [musicsymbol]
   I punched your lights out [musicsymbol]
   Now run along [musicsymbol] [musicsymbol]

 [Gato]
   I lost [musicsymbol] You won [musicsymbol]
   Here's 15 Points [musicsymbol]
   Now wasn't that fun!? [musicsymbol]

 [Old Woman]
   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!

 [Little Girl]
   After pressing the B Button and
   dashing here and there, I'm pooped!
   But this dance has rejuvenated me!

 [Young Woman]
   A prehistoric dance.
   How enchanting!

 [Musician]
   Jurassic rhythm

 [Little Boy]
  Catchy rhythm!
  Use the X, Y, L, and R buttons to dance!

 [Little Girl]
   Ladeedadeeda!
   Got some spending money from the
   Elder!

GIRL: Hey!!

GIRL: Ouch, that hurt!

GIRL: I'm so sorry!
   Are you okay?

GIRL: Uh oh...
   My pendant!

GIRL: Oh, no!
   Don't tell me I lost it!

GIRL: Oh, thank goodness!
   My pendant!
   It has a lot of sentimental value!

   May I have it back?
      Yes.
      No.

   I came to see the Festival!
   You...live in this town, don't you?!
   I feel a little out of place here.

   Would you mind if I walked around
   with you for a while?
      Sure.
      Sorry.

GIRL: Oh, come on! I don't know anyone
   around here! Please!
      Ok.
      No.

GIRL: You're a true gentleman!

GIRL: Oh, by the way...
   My name is, er...

GIRL: ...um, Marle!
   And you're?

Marle: Crono?
   What a nice name!
   Pleased to meet you!
   Now, lead on!

 [Crono's House, Truce, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: My, how nice!
   I've only seen you with Lucca!
   Who's your pretty new friend?

Marle: Hi, I'm Marle!

MOM: Eh?! Marle?
   ...?
   I'm sure I've seen you before, dear!
   Now, where was that...?

 [System]
    [num8] ounces of cat food.

 [Leene Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Man]
   You have {value 8} Silver Points.{full break}
   Want to exchange 10 Silver Points
   for 50 G?
      Yes.
      No.

   Not enough Silver Points.

   Come again.

 [Young Man]
   They're still setting up.
   Why don't you come back in a while?

 [Old Man]
   No time to talk.
   I'm just sitting down for my lunch.

 [System]
          Yum!
      Tastes like chicken!

Marle: Hee, hee.
   You're such a pig, Crono!

 [Little Girl]
   Wahhh!
   Where's my cat?!!

 [Little Girl]
   You brought back my cat!
   Thank you!

Marle: You're so sweet, Crono!

 [Man]
   It's a soda guzzling contest!
   Press the A Button as fast as you can!

   Ready?
   Set?
   Go!

 [Man]
   Only  [num8] cans?
   Is that the best you can do?!

 [Man]
   Not too shabby!

 [Man]
   You're too much, kid!

 [Man]
   Not bad!
   I'll put 5 Silver Points on your card.

Marle: You're awfully competitive,
   aren't you, Crono?

 [System]
   Buy something from Melchior,
   the swordsmith?

         Sure.
         No thanks.

 [Melchior]
   By the way...

   Could you talk that young lady into
   selling her pendant?
         I'll try.
         No.

 [Melchior]
   Oh, my!
   It's...the pendant...!

   Er, sorry, but I can't buy that!
   It's...far too special!
   Keep it safe!

MELCHIOR: I live on the continent to the
   east.
   Come see me sometime...

 [Little Girl]
   This is Leene Square. They say people
   who hear Leene's Bell ring will have
   interesting and happy lives!

Marle: Crono...
   I'm having a great time!

 [Little Girl]
   Lucca's device is all set up.
   She's at the north end of the Square.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

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!

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.

 [Little Boy]
   Check out that girl's glasses!

 [Old Man]
   She could probably see the back side of
   the moon with those.

 [Young Woman]
   Lucca's inventions never work
   right.

TABAN: Give it a try, kid?
   ...Oh, it's you, Crono!

Lucca: Crono!

Lucca: Where have you been!?
   No one wants to try the Telepod!

   How about you?

Marle: It looks like fun!
   I'll watch while you try it out!

Lucca: Just hop onto the left pod!

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: All systems on!

Lucca: Begin energy transfer!

ALL: Oh wow.
   That was GREAT!

Lucca: So, how was it?
   Want to try it again?

TABAN: It...WORKED?!
   I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

   Uh, er, a thrilling display of science at
   its best, ladies and gentlemen!

 [Young Woman]
   I guess even HER inventions have to
   work, sometimes.

 [Old Man]
   Wow!

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!

Marle: What's happening?
   My pendant...it's...

Lucca: Huh?

TABAN: Lucca!
   Where is she?!

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: She's so familiar!
   I KNOW I've seen her somewhere...

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!

The Queen Returns

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   A Millennial Fair? Here?
   What ARE you talking about?
   It's the year 600, and the 21st King of
   Guardia reigns.

 [Young Man]
   We've been at war for years.
   When will it end?

 [Truce Inn, 600 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   That'll be 10 G.
   Register?
         Yes.
         No.

   Welcome!

 [Soldier]
   «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...

 [Man]
   Millennial Fair?
   What?
   Are you crazy?!
   What nonsense!

 [Young Man]
   The Magus's army destroyed Zenan
   Bridge, so the south continent is
   inaccessible.

 [Soldier]
   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.

 [Soldier]
   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]
   Cider please!

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…

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Banta]
   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

   But now it's back to business as usual!

 [Young Woman]
   My husband wants a daughter who is
   as intelligent as she is beautiful.

 [Truce Market, 600 A.D.]

 [Man]
   No window shoppers!
   Whaddaya want?

   Thanks.
   See ya.

 [Knight]
   You're going to fight Magus's army?
   Wonderful! But remember to equip
   yourself with the weapons you buy!

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Soldier]
   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!

 [Guardia Forest, 600 A.D.]

 [System]
          The monster dropped a Shelter!

 [Sign]
      Dead end ahead.

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

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!

 [Queen Leene]
   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...

 [Soldier]
   Please pardon us!
   We revere our Queen's guests!

 [Soldier]
   I envy you, whom the Queen calls
   friend!

 [Soldier]
   King Guardia the XXI is in the throne
   room.

 [Soldier]
   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: What do you want?
   Get out of my face!

 [Knight]
   The King's room is upstairs.
   The Knights' quarters are downstairs,
   to the left.

 [Knight]
   Just between us, the Chancellor's been
   acting VERY strange lately.
   He's been sneakin' out at night...

 [Knight]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Knight]
   The Queen seems to be waiting for you
   upstairs in her room.

 [Knight]
   The Queen awaits.

 [Young Woman]
   YOU saved our Queen?
   You don't look that tough.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Knight]
   ...

   I grow so tired of the gossip around
   here!

 [Lucca]
   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]
   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!

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!

The Queen is Gone

CHANCELLOR: She escaped?!
   But how?
   She was in a secured room!

 [Soldier]
   Go downstairs if you want to rest.

 [Soldier]
   The Knight's quarters is downstairs.

 [Knight Captian]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   Take a snooze?
         Yes.
         No.

   Refreshed?

 [Soldier]
   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?

 [Soldier]
   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.

 [Soldier]
   Long ago, a beast called Yakra lurked in
   the western forest. But after the
   cathedral was built, Yakra disappeared.
   We're thankful for that.

 [Soldier]
   What a relief, the Queen's been found.
   Now we can concentrate on the war!

 [Wounded Soldier]
   Oooohhh...

 [Soldier]
   Magus's troops are strangely
   quiet...
   Something's about to happen.

 [Soldier]
   The dining room's below.

 [Soldier]
   The chef's got a nasty temper, so don't
   get in his way!

 [Soldier]
   This dining room is for us soldiers.
   Feel free to grab a bite.

 [Soldier]
   Magus's troops had better
   watch out for us!

 [Soldier]
   The chef's food is great.
   I give it 3 stars.

 [Soldier]
   I...

   I'm hungry...

MAID: Here's your food!

SOLDIER: All right!

 [Soldier]
   This is great!

 [Young Woman]
   Hungry? Sit down at the upper left
   corner of the left table.

 [Young Woman]
   This place is a mini war zone!

 [Chef]
   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 you 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!!

 [Chef]
   That fool...he thinks HE'S the boss!

 [Knight]
   The Knight Captain is normally very
   kind.
   The chef just rubs him the wrong way.

 [Knight]
   The Knight Captain is trying hard to fill
   the shoes of his predecessor, Sir Cyrus,
   Commander of the Knights.

 [Young Woman]
   Those two are brothers. You've heard
   the expression, «sibling rivalry,» right?

 [Young Woman]
   My husband chose this life because he's
   a pacifist.

 [Young Woman]
   What will you have?
         Refresh Salad
         Power Stew
         Hyper Kabob

   Just a sec, okay?

   Here you go!

 [System]
             MP recovered!

             HP recovered!

             HP and MP recovered!

 [Young Woman]
   The chef's stubborn, but he's a good
   man.

 [Young Woman]
   So!
   YOU saved Queen Leene!

 [Cathedral, 600 A.D.]

 [Nun]
   We want nothing but world peace...
   Or a piece of the world, tee, hee...

 [Nun]
   People wouldn't know what to do with
   themselves in a truly peaceful world!
   My, what delicious, er......

   I mean, delightful looking humans!

 [Nun]
   You might like to stick around for the
   organ recital.
   It's a real killer!

 [Nun]
   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!

 [Frog]
   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!

 [Frog]
   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.

 [Soldier]
   Y, you're humans?

   They're hiding the Queen in the back.
   Please rescue her!

 [Soldier]
   Inside this building, there's a room
   dedicated to Magus...
   Heard something about a treasure
   there...

 [System]
   Found the secret Naga-ette Bromide!

 [Hench]
   Hey everyone!
   Humans!

 [Hench]
   They're after the Bromide!

 [Hench]
   Get them!

 [Naga-ette]
   Buurp!
   Hey what's with the disguise?

   No need for them here!

 [Diablos]
   It's almost my shift.
   I hate pretending to be human...
   it's so repulsive.

 [Diablos]
   I'll look in on Magus's statue
   before my shift.

 [Naga-ette]
   Burrp!
   The ones we ate recently weren't SO
   bad.

   And those 2 soldiers we caught look
   rather plump and juicy...

 [Hench]
   Yakra's so smart!
   His plan to capture the Chancellor and
   take his place worked perfectly!

   Now the Queen's captive, and the
   castle's in an uproar.
   This is rich!

 [King]
   How nice of you to come.
   I'm sure Yakra will be just as pleased.

   Why not rest in here until he's
   available?

 [Queen]
   There was no need for you to come
   rescue me!

   The master, Yakra is very kind! I've
   decided to stay here.
   Now why don't you make yourselves at
   home, too!

 [Soldier]
   A...are you here to save Queen Leene?!

   Oh, what a relief!

 [Mystics]
   Don't be in such a hurry...
   Enjoy yourselves first...Hee hee.

 [Mystics]
   Oh...dearest Magus... [musicsymbol]
   Your flashing eyes...like stars... [musicsymbol]
   And flowing hair... [musicsymbol]
   Like waves atop the sea... [musicsymbol]

   No sad sunny day nor any frightful [musicsymbol]
   bright place can get us down [musicsymbol]
   as long as you're near... [musicsymbol]
   There's nothing to fear... [musicsymbol]

CHORUS: Magus, oh Magus [musicsymbol]
   Our Hero, Magus [musicsymbol]

 [Mystics]
   Come join us in singing your funeral
   dirge!
   Gyah hah ha!

 [Mystics]
   Stop!
   Intruders!
   Gack!!!

NOTE: No entry.

NOTE: Try hard enough and you will
   find a way in.

 [Hench]
   Snooore...szzzzzz...

   Nooo, stop it!
   I SAID that you can't...

   Huh?!

   I'll say this!
   You know what you're doing!

 [Chancellor]
   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!

 [System]
   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!

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

KING GUARDIA: You had me worried,
   Leene.

Frog: I failed to protect
   Queen Leene.
   I hath disgraced thee.

LEENE: Frog!

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.

 [King]
   Thank you, Crono.
   But...who was that girl we found in the
   canyon?

LEENE: Your timing was perfect.
   Who knows what would have
   happened had you not saved me!

Lucca: Oh, yeah!
   I forgot all about Princess Nadia!

Lucca: Crono!
   Where did Princess Nadia
   disappear?
   She may still be there!

 [Young Woman]
   Which means the real Leene was
   somewhere else.
   It's exactly as I thought.

 [Young Woman]
   But you're a dead ringer for her.

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!

 [Knight]
   Hmmm.  The more I look at you, the
   stronger the resemblance...uncanny!

 [Young Woman]
   You guys leaving?
   Wherever you're heading, be careful!

 [Knight]
   Now the Knight Captain can
   concentrate on battling Magus's
   troops.

 [Chancellor]
   Wow, you could be Leene's twin!

 [King]
   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!

 [Queen]
   You seem like one of the family, now!

 [Knight]
   The King and Queen make such a great
   couple!

 [Knight]
   So... she wasn't Leene after all.

 [Knight]
   Hard to believe she really wasn't
   Leene...

 [Knight]
   Didn't know that a frog could be so
   brave.

 [Knight]
   Hmm. I still think there's a conspiracy
   going on here!

 [Young Woman]
   A beast was posing as the Chancellor?
   Well, the fake one had much better
   taste.

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.

 [Soldier]
   You can come and go as you please
   from now on.

 [Soldier]
   You sure were lucky, defeating Yakra
   and all.

 [Soldier]
   This ought to relieve the King.

 [Soldier]
   Leene's presence always brightens
   things up.

 [Knight Captain]
   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!

 [Soldier]
   We must crush Magus's troops!

 [Soldier]
   Heard that Magus's troops put
   Yakra up to it all.

 [Soldier]
   Can't believe the cathedral was  their
   hideout.

 [Soldier]
   I guess Magus's troops kidnapped
   Leene.

 [Woman]
   The REAL Leene?
   Wonderful!
   Let's prepare a feast!

 [Chef]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   Well, Leene would never snack before
   meals like that other girl did!

 [Young Woman]
   I THOUGHT she ate too much to be our
   Queen.

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Soldier]
   That frog made it across by swimming
   to the other side.

 [Truce Canyon, 600 A.D.]

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?

We're Back!

 [Leene Square, 1000 A.D.]

Marle: Phew!
   We're back!

Marle: Crono, Lucca, why
   don't you 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?

 [Young Woman]
   I heard the Princess ran away from
   home again!

 [Man]
   The merchants went back to their
   warehouse to stock up on more goods.

 [Crono's House, Truce, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: Hello, Crono!

 [Truce Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   There used to be a cathedral in the
   woods to the west.

   I wonder what became of it?

 [Truce Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Heh, heh...you're never too old to
   collect Silver Points!

 [Truce Market, 1000 A.D.]

 [Man]
   Elaine's down at the pier again?
   That Fritz!
   Where could he be?

 [Man]
   Oh!
   Hello!
   What can I do for you?

   Not enough cash!

   Thank you very much.

 [Lucca's House, 1000 A.D.]

LARA: Lucca and Taban only care
   about their silly toys!

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.

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

 [Chancellor]
   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!!

 [Pierre]
   I'm the lawyer, Pierre.

 [Chancellor]
   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.

 [Little Girl]
   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!

 [Little Girl]
   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 thief.

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.

 [Old Man]
   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</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   He can't fool me, I saw him with my
   own eyes!

   Dear me!
   I'm so nervous!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   He tried to sell it to the merchant,
   Melchior.

CHANCELLOR: And this person's final bit
   of testimony will prove our case!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Juror]
   Guilty.

 [Juror]
   Not guilty.

 [Judge]
   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!

 [Judge]
   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!!!

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!

The Trial

 [System]
       3 day(s) until the execution...

       And finally, the day arrived...

 [System]
                               HP and MP recovered!

 [Guard]
   Some sympathizers brought that stuff
   for you, you lousy felon.

 [System]
                     Got 1 Ether!

 [Guard]
   Pipe down!

 [Guard]
   Knock it off!
   Ooh!
   I'll show him.

 [Guard]
   Open it up!

 [Guard]
   That's what you get for misbehaving.

 [Guard]
   Where do you think you're going?!

 [Guards]
   The prisoner's escaping!

 [Guard]
   What are you up to?!

 [Omnicrone]
   So YOU'RE the escaped con!

 [Omnicrone]
   They don't pay me enough for this!

 [Fritz]
   H, Help me!

 [System]
   Save him?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Fritz]
   You're a life saver!

   I'm Fritz.
   My dad runs a store in Truce village.
   Stop by if you're in the area.

SUPERVISOR: H...Help!!!

Lucca: Crono!
   I've come to save you!

Lucca: Gee, it looks like you didn't
   need my help, after all!

Lucca: Let's blow this joint!

 [System]
                   He passed out!

 [System]
              Received a Mid Tonic!

       Amazing! You found 5 of them!!

 [Soldier]
   We're here to take you to your place
   of execution.

 [Soldier]
   Come along.

 [Soldier]
   We've sharpened up the guillotine...

   Any last words?

 [Soldier]
   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: This is what happens to
   fools who challenge the mighty
   Lucca!

                  Ha-hahaha!

 [System]
   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

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!

 [Soldier]
   They're escaping!

Lucca: This doesn't look good!

Lucca: We have no choice but to
   break through!

 [Soldier]
   Stop!

SOLDIER: Princess Nadia!

Marle: This is my friend!
   Show him your respect!

SOLDIER: B, but...

Marle: Can't you take orders?

SOLDIER: Of course!

 [Chancellor]
   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...

 [Guardia Forest, 1000 A.D.]

SOLDIER: There they are!
   Don't lose 'em!!

SOLDIER: There's no escape!

SOLDIER: Silence!

Marle: Looks like a dead end!

Lucca: A Gate!

Marle: Come on!

Lucca: But we don't know where
   it'll take us!

Marle: Who cares?!
   This place stinks, anyway!

CHANCELLOR: Princess Nadia!

Lucca: This is completely irrational.

Marle: Hurry, Crono!

CHANCELLOR: Princess, move away from
   that hoodlum!

CHANCELLOR: They...disappeared!!

Beyond the Ruins

 [Bangor Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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.

 [System]
   A strange crest is engraved here.
   It's sealed by some kind of power.

 [Trann Dome, 2300 A.D.]

 [Man]
   If you're looking for food, you lose!

 [Man]
   Truce Dome?
   Never heard of it.
   This is Trann Dome.

 [Man]
   You light up my life...no, really!

 [Woman]
   Kingdom...?
   Whaddaya talking about...?

 [Man]
   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.

 [Man]
   This is an Enertron.
   You get a full night's sleep in a few
   seconds, but it still leaves you hungry.

 [System]
   Will you rest in the Enertron?
         Yes.
         No.

                  HP/MP restored!

              But you're still hungry.

 [Man]
   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.

 [Arris Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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!

 [Woman]
   Say again!?

 [Man]
   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.

 [Child]
   Who are you?

 [Woman]
   My husband went down to the food
   storage area below.

   I haven't seen him since...

 [Child]
   Daddy's gonna bring us some food!

 [Man]
   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!

 [Man]
   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.

 [Woman]
   You can reach the continent to the
   south through the Sewer Access,
   but stay off of «Death Peak.

 [Man]
   The door with the crest?
   Dynamite won't budge it.

 [Man]
   There's an old man living in a dome
   near «Death Peak.»
   Talk about crackpots!

 [Child]
   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.

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.

Lucca: This console controls the
   passageway.
   We need a password to get through.

   Looks like a statue.

   A memo is attached to it.

   Warning.
   Anyone within the vicinity of the stock

Marle: Crono!
   What's going on?!

Lucca: Marle!

   Let's go!

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?

 [System]
   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!

Marle: There!
   There it is!

Lucca: Shhh!
   It might run away.

   Dash with the B Button, catch him
   with the A button!

 [System]
   Got it!

 [Rat]
   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!

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!

 [Man]
   Thanks a lot...
   You've given me hope.

 [Woman]
   My husband...he's...he's...gone...

   But he left me precious gifts!
   The seeds...and our child.

   Daddy's sure taking his time.

Marle: The door won't budge.

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 you?

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 your «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 you, 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...

Robo: Wh, what are you doing?!

R-64Y: You are defective.
R-67Y: You have been tainted.

Robo: Pardon?

R-69Y: Have you forgotten our
   mission?
   All intruders must be eliminated!

Robo: THAT was my purpose?

Robo: I'm...malfunctioning?
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!

Robo: No, stop!

Lucca: But they'll destroy you!

Marle: You'll break down!

Robo: Please stop.

 [Lucca, Marle]
   Robo!

R-64Y: Now to take care of the

Lucca: No!
   Let's take care of YOU!

Marle: You cocky boxes of bolts!
   You'll never get away with this!

 [Lucca, Marle]
   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...

Marle: Wahh...!
   What should we do?!
   Robo just got creamed!

Marle: Crono, let's take him
   back to Lucca!

 [Proto Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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!

The End of Time

 [End of 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 you 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.

 [System]
   Go to «Day of Lavos»
   1999 A.D.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
   It's locked shut...

OLD MAN: Hey.

OLD MAN: Don't be in such a rush!
   Before you go, take a peek inside the
   room behind me!

 [Spekkio]
   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!

 [System]
       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!!

   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...

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!

 [Blue Imp]
   Hey! Did you people just come out of
   the closet?
   Get outta here!

 [Brown Imp]
   Who do you think you are?
   Coming and going out of our closet at
   all hours.
   Scram!

 [Brown Imp]
   Wait a sec.

 [Brown Imp]
   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...

 [Blue Imp]
   Hey, wait a minute.

 [Blue Imp]
   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!

Marle: Why are you being so nice?
   Mystics aren't supposed to get along
   with humans.

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.

 [Blue Imp]
   Humans fought the Mystics over 400
   years ago.

   My motto is «forgive and forget» but
   not many seem to agree with me.

 [Blue Imp]
   You folks hungry?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Blue Imp]
   You can use magic?!
   Magic-using humans supposedly
   perished long ago.

 [Elder's House, Medina, 1000 A.D.]

 [Ozzie VIII]
   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?

 [Green Imp]
   This work is brutal.

 [Blue Imp]
   Ozzie VIII uses his ancestors' fame to
   boss us around!

 [Green Imp]
   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.

 [Medina Square, 1000 A.D.]

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?

 [Mystics]
   Hut!
   Sir Magus

 [Mystics]
   As soon as Magus's creation, the
   mighty Lavos, awakens from his long
   sleep, the human race is doomed.

 [Mystics]
   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!

 [Mystics]
   Long ago, the all mighty Magus
   brought forth the all-powerful Lavos.

 [Melchior's Hut, 1000 A.D.]

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.

 [Heckran Cave, 1000 A.D.]

 [Hench]
   Death to the Mystics' enemies!

 [Heckran]
   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!

 [System]
   Jump in?
         Yes.
         No.

The Hero Appears

 [Lucca's House, 1000 A.D.]

 [Taban]
   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.

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

 [Soldier]
   You're not going anywhere!

 [System]
   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?!

 [Truce Market, 1000 A.D.]

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!

 [Man]
   Huh, hey!

FRITZ: D, Dad!

 [Man]
   Working hard?

FRITZ: But, of course!
   R, right?

ELAINE: Y, yes.

 [Man]
   Well, all right...

 [Man]
   Crono...
   I'm in your debt.

FRITZ: Now Crono, down to
   business.
   Please, buy whatever you like!

FRITZ: Welcome,  [member1]!

FRITZ: Thanks!

 [Crono's House, Truce, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: Crono!

MOM: Crono!
   You had me so worried!
   I heard you were to be executed,
   dear.

MOM: Stop scaring me like that!

Lucca: Hi!

MOM: Lucca!
   We hardly see you these days!

Lucca: I've been kinda busy...

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.

 [End of Time]

 [System]
   Go to «Leene Square»
   1000 A.D.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
   Go to «Truce Canyon»
   600 A.D.?
         Yes.
         No.

   2300 A.D.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Wearing the «Hero Medal,» the chosen
   one has appeared!
   We're saved!

 [Woman]
   I heard Magus's army is at the
   bridge.
   We're in trouble now!

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Man]
   Have you heard?!
   The legendary Hero has appeared!

   He went to see the King.
   Now Magus's army hasn't a chance!

 [Young Man]
   They say the King has been wounded!
   Is this the end?

 [Young Man]
   No, the Hero has appeared!
   He'll save us!

 [Man]
   Is it true? I heard Magus's army
   has taken the bridge!

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Man]
   I had almost completed the bell when
   Magus's army wounded our King.
   I've lost the will to work.

 [Young Woman]
   I hope this bell will ring in a new world
   of peace.

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Knight]
   Magus's army is awfully well
   trained!

KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Our rations have run
   out!
   Have the supplies from Guardia
   Castle arrived yet?!

 [Knight]
   Forming a protective ring around the
   Hero, the best knights of the Kingdom
   kicked off the offensive.

 [Knight]
   It appears our knights and Magus's
   troops are locked in battle, at the
   center of the bridge.
   May we emerge victorious!

 [Knight]
   Does the Hero alone have the power to
   take on Magus's army?

 [Knight]
   We cannot defeat Magus's army by
   ourselves.
   Our only hope is the Hero.

 [Knight]
   I never believed those stories about
   the Hero and his legendary medal...
   Now it turns out he's our only hope.

 [Knight]
   Our food supplies have run out.

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

SOLDIER: Oh, it's you again.

 [Soldier]
   Magus's troops had us cornered
   but the appearance of the Hero, saved
   us.

 [Soldier]
   Hero?
   He just went to see the King a moment
   ago.

 [Soldier]
   The Knight Captain has gone to Zenan
   Bridge. Many of the wounded from
   there, are resting below.

 [Woman]
   I'm sorry, the beds are all taken.

 [Wounded Soldier]
   Even the Knight Captain went to the
   front lines...

 [Wounded Soldier]
   Magus has already defeated 3
   fierce warriors.

 [Wounded Soldier]
   There's a food shortage on the front
   lines.

 [Wounded Soldier]
   Heard something 'bout a hero showing
   up.

 [Wounded Soldier]
   Argh...

 [Woman]
   The King's trying his best, too.
   So snap out of it!

 [Soldier]
   The chef's in a snit, trying to get food
   to the front lines while keeping the
   King healthy.

 [Woman]
   Hey you, is this food good enough for
   the King?

 [Woman]
   We've got to nurse the King back to
   good health!

 [Woman]
   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?!

 [Woman]
   Men are such fools!

 [Woman]
   He acts that way, but the chef always
   worries about the Knight Captain.

 [Woman]
   Those two are really looking for a way
   to make up.

 [Chef]
   Hey, hey, come on now!!

 [Chef]
   Wait!

CHEF: ...

   Take this with you!

CHEF: And, this is for you guys.
   Take it, will ya.

CHEF: And tell that fool...

   He had better come back alive!

 [Chancellor]
   Sir Crono!
   The legendary Hero has finally
   appeared!

   He just arrived a moment ago, to meet
   the King.

 [Knight]
   The King was injured, and is
   recuperating in bed.

 [Knight]
   Queen Leene has been at his side all
   night.

 [Knight]
   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!

 [Knight]
   I'm so ashamed...

   I treated him badly, thinking he was
   just some brat.

   Luckily, he forgave me.
   A hero, HE IS.

 [Woman]
   At this rate, Queen Leene will also
   succumb.

 [King]
   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.

 [Queen]
   Cyrus must have sent the boy to us.

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Knight]
   Mere mortals can never expect to beat
   Magus's troops.

 [Knight]
   The Hero has made it across the bridge
   somehow, but our troops have
   suffered heavy losses.

 [Knight]
   Aaagh!

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?!

 [Knight]
   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!

 [Knight]
   But, we are far outnumbered!

KNIGHT CAPTAIN: This is our last line of
   defense.
   We must let no one through!

 [Knight]
   Understood!

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!

 [Ozzie]
   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.

Marle: Wait up, already!

Lucca: He's pretty swift when it
   comes to running away.

Robo: We've got him.

OZZIE: Seems I misjudged you.
   But I won't do that twice!

OZZIE: Grrrr!
   You're through!

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!

KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Thanks to Sir
   Crono, we held the bridge! But,
   unless we defeat Magus, this is an
   empty victory.

 [Knight]
   We held Zenan Bridge with Sir
   Crono's help.

 [Dorino Market, 600 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   Welcome, what can I do for you?

   Thanks a lot!

 [Woman]
   The Hero has appeared?

   That means the epic battle will begin!

 [Dorino Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Little Boy]
   Mom said I can't play outside 'cause of
   the monsters.

   I'm so bored!

 [Woman]
   I heard Magus knows arcane magic
   which the monsters can't match.

 [Young Woman]
   Oh!
   Where could Sir Cyrus be?

   Surely he hasn't deserted the kingdom?

Frog: ......

 [Old Man]
   Is it true that the King was injured?

   What's going to happen to us, and to
   our country...?

 [System]
                  It's locked!

 [Old Man]
   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...

 [Old Man]
   Don't tell Grannie.
   Hee, hee, my very own Naga-ette pet.

 [Elder's House, Dorino, 600 A.D.]

HEADMAN: I want you to find the
   mythical «Rainbow Shell.»

   Here's some front money.
   We're counting on you Toma!

TOMA: Hey, no problem!
   'cause, like, I'm the mythical
   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?

 [Little Girl]
   The Hero has come!

   He's strong and he's gonna thrash
   those monsters!

 [Young Woman]
   Only the ancient sword, «Masamune,»
   can defeat him.
   And only the Hero can wield it!

 [Woman]
   Magus has 3 fearsome henchmen,
   Ozzie, Flea, and Slash.

   They're tone-deaf, evil fiends!

 [Old Woman]
   The chief of Sandorino Village lives
   here.

   Are you foreigners?
   Did you flee from Magus's troops?

 [Young Man]
   Magus's lair is on an island to the
   east.
   Sheer cliffs make it inaccessible.

 [Dorino Inn, 600 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   Are Magus's armies really closing
   in?

   Well, the mythical Hero has appeared
   so we'll be all right!

 [Man]
   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...

 [Young Man]
   Did you know? They say the mythical
   Masamune lies deep within the
   Denadoro mountains.

   But it's guarded by terrible beasts.

 [Nun]
   Clear your conscience, the end of the
   world is coming.

 [Young Man]
   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!

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.

 [Old Man]
   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.

OWNER: You're looking for the Hero?
   Go south, to the village of Porre,
   where they say he's from.

 [Woman]
   Helloooo there!
   This is the R & R hotel.
   It'll cost you 50 G!
   Well?

   Will you stay?</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
         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...

 [Woman]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Fiona's Villa, 600 A.D.]

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.

 [Porre Market, 600 A.D.]

 [Little Boy]
   I'm gonna put on this armor and fight
   that stupid Magus!

   Yeeeoooww!
   It's heavy!

 [Little Girl]
   Don't overdo it!

 [Porre Cafe, 600 A.D.]

MISTRESS: Little Tata must be away...
   We haven't seen him in awhile.

   But things are a lot quieter without
   that brat around.

 [Old Man]
   A strange monster came by the other
   day, mumbling about Queen Leene and
   the Masamune...

   That shore were an ugly frog!
   Hardy har!

 [Man]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   I can't believe the legendary Hero is
   that naughty runt, Tata!

 [Man]
   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!

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!

 [Tata's House, 600 A.D.]

 [Tata's Father]
   My son's the legendary Hero!
   It must have been all that oatmeal!
   And to think that I'm his father...!

 [Old Man]
   My grandson's a brave Hero!
   That's from my side of the family!
   Heeheehee...

 [Elder's House, Porre, 600 A.D.]

 [Little Girl]
   I'm gonna marry Tata!

 [Woman]
   If only I had some Jerky...
   What a great meal I could make...

 [Young Man]
   Next to the bed is a treasure box.
   Open it, and the contents are yours.

VILLAGE CHIEF: The «Magic Cave» lies
   under a mountain east of Denadoro.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

Tata and the Frog

 [Denadoro Mts]

 [Tata]
      Aaagh!

BOY: Th, this is a terrible place!
   Y, you'd best run away while you
   can!

 [FreeLancer]
   Shut up!
   Get lost!

 [Kilwala]
   Mountains're nice.

 [Kilwala]
   This's the life.

 [Kilwala]
   Mountains're nice.

 [Kilwala]
   Man, you're nosy.
   Here, take this.

KID: I'm the wind!
   Whoosh!

KID: Stop!

KID: Are you here for the Masamune?
      Yes
      No

KID: You're not?
   Then you should leave quickly.

KID: Thought so...
   Wait a second, okay?

KID: Oh big broooother...
   Where are you, Masa?!

MASA: What is it, Mune?

MASA: Not again!?

MASA: So! You want to get a name for
   yourself by grabbing the Masamune?
   What a buffoon!

MUNE: Humans are so...silly!
   It's how you USE the sword that's
   important...not who owns it!

MASA: You can't even understand
   something as simple as that.
   That's why you're human.

MUNE: What should we do?

MASA: The usual...test them.
   You can entertain us for awhile.

MUNE: All right!
   Here we go!!!
   Whooosh!

MUNE: Hey they're pretty tough.

MASA: Only Cyrus made it this far.

MASA: This time it's for real!

MUNE: All right, this is it...
MASA: Yeah.
   We mean business!

 [System]
   With Masa's bravery and...

   ...Mune's knowledge!

   Two become one!!

MUNE: They beat us, big brother...

MASA: That was fun!

MUNE: Will they fix us?

   Will they find us an owner?

MASA: Yeah, it'll be all right.

Lucca: So this is the Masamune...
   But it looks like it's been broken for
   ages.

Robo: So!
   The Masamune is not just a myth...

   But it has long been broken.

 [System]
       You got the broken Masamune!

MASA: Allow me! We'll ride the wind to
   the base of the mountain!

MUNE: Good luck to you.

 [System]
   Ride the wind?
         Yes
         No

 [Dorino Inn, 600 A.D.]

OWNER: Last I heard, the Hero went to
   the Denadoro Mountains to find a
   sword.

   I hope he's okay!

 [Melchior's Hut, 1000 A.D.]

 [Note]
   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!

 [Cursed Woods, 600 A.D.]

 [Nu]
   Stop it you dog!

SIGN: Private Property.
   No trespassing...GRIBBIT

 [Frog]
   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.

 [Tata's House, 600 A.D.]

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!

 [Tata's Father]
   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?!

 [Old Man]
   Oh, my grandson!

   He secretly told me, «My next goal is to
   command the Super Legendary Space
   Ship, XR-RX!»

 [Porre Cafe, 600 A.D.]

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...

 [Man]
   And I thought the Hero was from here.
   What a let down...

 [Young Woman]
   So Tata was a fake after all!

   Then where's the real Hero?

 [Porre Elder's House, 600 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   Oh, that Tata!
   He's just too loveable.

 [Cursed Woods, 600 A.D.]

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...

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: Nary a soul remains to
   mend'eth the Masamune.

 [Melchior's Hut, 1000 A.D.]

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.

The Rare Red Rock

 [End of Time]

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.

 [Mystic Mts, 65000000 B.C.]

Marle: Wh...what are those?

Lucca: They're all green and scaly!

Robo: Half human, half dinosaur...
   An unlikely life form.

Marle: What should we do,
   Crono?!

Lucca: We're outnumbered!

Marle: Goodness!
   She is tough!

Lucca: Who IS that woman?!

Robo: Her fighting capabilities far
   exceed those of humans!

Marle: Uh oh...they're coming our
   way!

Robo: Now they're after us!

Marle: Wh...what do you want?

Lucca: What the...!

Robo: Do not upset her.
   She's rather agitated right now.

Marle: Ack!

Lucca: We're not looking for a
   fight!

 [Party]

Woman: You strong.

Marle: Oh, brother...

Lucca: Where have they been
   keeping her?

Robo: Y, yes?

Ayla: You different, but strong
   too.

Robo: It's because I'm a robot.

Ayla: «Rawboot?» What that?
   Ayla don't know.

Robo: It's a machine that looks like
   a man.

Ayla: What you say?!
   No rubbish or Ayla, head go
   boom!

Ayla: Crono, where from?

Marle: Uh, how can we explain?

Robo: It is beyond her grasp.

Lucca: We're from way after the
   day after tomorrow.

Marle: We're from many days
   ahead of tomorrow.

Ayla: Ha ha, you funny.
   Ayla like funny people.

Lucca: It's no use...

Ayla: Come to village!
   We talk and eat.

   got to look for the Dreamstone now.

   Here, there, at village.
   You take plenty.

Marle: It, it's gone!

Lucca: It's gone!

Marle: Oh no!

Lucca: The Gate Key's been taken!

Lucca: These prints were left by
   the thief!

Robo: Whomever left these prints
   took the Gate Key!

Lucca: Without it, we're stuck here
   forever!

   without it.

Marle: Crono!
   Let's go find Ayla!

Lucca: This isn't funny!
   Let's go see Ayla!

   Hmm.
   You're nothing like Ayla...

   Tell me what this is, at once!

   Tell Azala about the key?
         Yes.
         No.

AZALA: Liars!

   This should loosen your tongues.

The Masamune!

 [End of Time]

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.

 [Lucca's House, 1000 A.D.]

TABAN: Oh you're just in time.

TABAN: It's my finest work!
   The ultimate in defense for my,
   daughter!

 [Melchior's Hut, 1000 A.D.]

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.

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: Take a good look!
   THIS is the Masamune!

Marle: Awesome!
   What a weapon!

Lucca: The Masamune...
   It's mystic powers might just force
   me to believe in the supernatural...

Robo: How strange.
   My sensors are picking up...spiritual
   energy emanating from the
   Masamune.

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.

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.

Frog: Awaketh, Crono.

Frog: Though we may fail...
   ...let us go to Magus's lair.

Frog: Thou knowest his power?

   A note written in blood!

 [Note]
   «The Juggler in Magus's castle...
   strengthens his guard when attacked.
   Beware!»

 [Magus's Lair, 600 A.D.]

Frog: This can only be...

Frog: Magus's castle...!

 [Young Woman]
   Ha, ha...

 [Young Man]
   ......

 [Children]
   Wanna play...

 [Little Boy]
   Our treasure...

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...!

 [Omnicrone]
   Dance, DANCE!!
   For tonight our leader is to be born!

   Ah!
   Here comes the sacrifice!

 [Decedent]
   Please let me go...

 [Decedent]
   Put me out of my misery...

 [Decedent]
   Oh...

 [Decedent]
   Please, put a stop to this...!

 [Omnicrone]
   Only a moron would try to kill
   something that's already dead!

   H...humans!

 [Decedent]
   Please help...

   Relieve us of this misery!

 [Slash]
   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...!

 [Shadow]
   Do you want our treasure...?
         Yes.
         No.

   It's good stuff...

   In that case, will you...

   Play with us!
   Please!
   Pretty please!

 [Fake Crono's Mom]
   Crono! So THIS is where you've
   been since the Festival!
   You had me worried sick!

   Children THIS naughty...

   ...deserve to be punished!

 [Fake King Guardia]
   Princess Nadia...

   I was wrong!
   Please return to the castle...

   ...as road kill, my dear...!

 [Fake Taban]
   Well, if it isn't Lucca!

   You're STILL alive, my dear?!

 [Fake Lucca]
   Robo, don't waste your strength!

   No matter what you do, I'll break you!

 [Fake Queen Leene]
   Frog, you're safe!

   I guess we'd better do something
   about that!

Frog: The magician, Flea, I
   presume?

Frog: Wait!
   That isn't Flea...
   Where's the REAL Flea?!

 [Flea]
   Mwa ha...
   Here, over here...

 [Flea]
   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...

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!

 [Magus]
   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 you'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...!!

Forward to the Past

 [Crono's Dream]
Marle: Honey...you'll be late for
   work!

Marle: I'd forgotten how beautiful
   Leene's Bell could sound!

Marle: Crono!
   We can't keep sponging off my dad!
   Go out and get a job!

 [Ayla]
   Crono!

   Crono! Crono!
   Crono! Crono!
   Crono! Crono!
   Crono! Crono!!

 [Chief's Hut, 65000000 B.C.]

Ayla: Crono awake?!

Marle: Ayla!

Lucca: Ayla?!

Robo: Ms. Ayla!
   Which means we're...

Ayla: Ayla had strange
   dream.
   Went to Mystic Mountains.
   Everyone lie there, hurt.

   I carry back to hut.

Frog: Magus!

Ayla: Yummy frog!
   For Ayla eat?

Frog: P, perish the thought, lass!
   By the way, whither the blue-haired
   one?

Ayla: Only find you there.
   Blue-hair one more tasty?

Frog: We hath lost him...

Ayla: Lavos?
   Not worry now.
   You rest.
   Hurt bad.

Marle: But if Magus didn't create
   Lavos, where did...it...come from?

Robo: If Magus didn't create
   Lavos, then in what era was
   it...born?

Lucca: Magus said that Lavos
   was born in the distant past...

KINO: Crono, ok now?
   Ayla busy, look for Laruba
   village.

   Fight Reptites together.
   Destroy Reptites or we no survive.

 [Man]

 [Laruba Ruins, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Child]
   Reptites take Kino!
   Reptites hurt all who fight!
   What do now?!

 [Child]
   Reptites come!
   Burn village!!

 [Woman]
   Those who fight, killed!

 [Man]
   Reptites follow Ayla.
   Ayla bad luck!

 [Man]
   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!

OLD MAN: You!
   Take care Ayla.

 [Dactyl Nest, 65000000 B.C.]

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!

Unnatural Selection?

 [Tyrano Lair, 65000000 B.C.]

JAILER: Thanks for bringing, er, being
   the main course!

GUARD: It's the apes!!!

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!

NIZBEL: Well, well!

   Out for a little stroll, are we?

NIZBEL: Azala's in the back.

NIZBEL: Hold it.

   This is a special place.
   The great Nizbel was defeated here!

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: Hear that lovely voice?

   You'll soon become the best of
   friends!

AZALA: Red star...

   Fall!!!!!

   Stain the earth...RED!

AZALA: Though it may be our fate to
   perish, we will not simply hand this
   world over to you!

AZALA: Mwa ha ha! With this Black
   Tyrano I can finally exterminate
   those filthy apes!

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...

 [Kino]
   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...

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!

 [Lair Ruins, 65000000 B.C.]

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?

 [Laruba Ruins, 65000000 B.C.]

OLD MAN: Reptites gone.
   Thank Ayla...

 [Man]
   You strong.
   I strong now too.

 [Woman]
   Reptites burned.
   Good!

 [Man]
   No more fear.
   No more run away!

 [Child]
   Reptites gone!

 [Meeting Site, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   Reptites gone!

 [Woman]
   Praise strong chief, and Crono!

 [Ioka Hut, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Woman]
   Red star fall...bad omen.
   But Reptites gone!
   Happy!

 [Man]
   No more Reptites!
   Happy happy, joy joy.

 [Child]
   Red Star!
   Me saw!
   Big fire where Lavos fall.
   Me scared!

 [Man]
   Reptites gone!
   Happy happy!

 [Woman]
   All relieved.
   Peace good.
   Everyone happy.

 [End of Time]

 [System]
   Go to «Tyran Fortress»
   65,000,000 B. C.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
   Go to «Earthbound Island»
   12,000 B. C.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Crono's House, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: Gracious!
   Who're you?

Ayla: Me Ayla.

MOM: Ayla...
   A young lady doesn't dress like that,
   dear!

Ayla: But, Ayla like...

MOM: Say «Yes, ma'am!»

Ayla: Crono strong...

   Crono mother strong, too!

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

STRANGE CREATURE: Please, do not
   disturb my slumber.

The Magic Kingdom

 [Cave, 12000 B.C.]

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?!

 [Enhasa, 12,000 B.C.]

 [Young Man]
   Welcome to Enhasa, in the magical
   kingdom of Zeal.

   We find truth in the bliss of sleep.

   Dear me!
   And who might you be?

 [Doreen]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   Welcome, what can I do for you?

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Young Man]
   The door to the north palace is sealed
   with a mysterious energy.
   Even we, the Enlightened Ones, cannot
   open it.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   The Queen has given us everything!

   After the King died, she nurtured
   magic, which has advanced the
   kingdom.
   Zzzz...

 [Young Woman]
   This is a Spring of Recovery.
   Heal your mind and body here.

 [Young Man]
   The Queen's palace is at the center of
   Zeal.
   From there she protects the entire
   world.

   That's why we can sleep our days
   away.
   Yawn...

 [Young Man]
   I wonder what's inside the north
   palace...

   I bet there's a key to it in the palace.
   But entry is strictly forbidden.

 [Poyozo Doll]
   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!

   ......

 [Young Woman]
   The city of Kajar, where they study
   magic, lies on the edge of the western
   continent.

   The airship, «Blackbird,» is kept there.
   Zzz...

 [Young man]
   Zzz...zzz...
   Truths exist in dreams...
   Herbal tea...zzz...crystals...zzz...

BOY: ......

Marle: What's wrong with him?
   What a weird kid...

Lucca: Hey, what's wrong?
   You have something to say?

Robo: How may I help you?

Frog: 'Tis a sullen lad...

Ayla: What wrong?
   That animal good food?

BOY: The black wind howls...

BOY: One among you...
   ...will shortly perish.

Marle: What?!
   And out of the blue, like that?

Lucca: H, hey!
   Explain yourself!

Robo: Is, is it true?
   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.

 [Nu]
   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......

 [Book]
   «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.

 [Blackbird, 12000 B.C.]

 [Guard]
   Who're you guys?!

 [Dalton]
   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!

 [Guard]
   The Blackbird's a symbol of how
   advanced Zeal's culture is.

 [Guard]
   Never thought somethin' so big could
   fly, huh?

 [Kajar, 12000 B.C.]

 [Young Man]
   This is the magical city of Kajar.

   We do experiments for the Queen.

 [Young Woman]
   Your power differs from ours...

   In you I sense a strange aura
   of...kindness...

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   We've been seeing a lot of Janus lately.
   He appears upset and paces around.

 [Young Man]
   His only friend, other than his sister, is
   that stupid cat.

   What tempest rages in his head?

 [Young Man]
   Queen Zeal has two heirs, Schala and
   Janus.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
   Schala's an incredible child who has
   extraordinary magical powers.

   Being so gifted, she'll breeze through
   life.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Young Man]
   How did we come by our skills?

   And why do others lack them?
   Who cares!

 [Young Woman]
   Those lacking magic have always lived
   beneath the clouds, as the «Earthbound
   Ones.»

   After all, they lack what we have...

 [Nu]
   ......

   ......

   I've got Lode Shields, but I cannot sell
   them unless the Queen says it's okay.

 [Nu]
   ......

   Is that Schala's Pendant?
         Yes.
         No.

   ......

   I hate liars.

 [Nu]
      ......

      Welcome.

      Come again.

 [Old Man]
   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!

 [Young Man]
   Indeed!
   That great aeroplane «Blackbird,»
   which Belthasar built.

   When it soars in the sky, it looks alive!
   Belthasar is truly a genius!

 [Young Man]
   The Earthbound Ones are being allowed
   to work on the construction of the
   Palace.

   So they do have a purpose after all.

 [Young Woman]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   The Gurus of Life, Time, and Reason,
   live in Zeal.
   Their skill and knowledge is supreme.

 [Young Man]
   Zeal's advances stem from a new
   energy source. Its power surpasses
   that of the elements.

 [Young Man]
   I heard a strange prophet has come to
   the palace.

   I don't know the details...but I heard he
   has uncanny powers.

 [Old Man]
   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?

 [Old Man]
   Oops, that's a defective item.

   Too bad, huh?
   Ha ha ha.

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   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.

 [Nu]
   Scratch, scratch...

   Oooh...

   Phew...!

   Tee hee...!

   ......

 [Nu]
   Water summons wind...
   ...wind makes fire dance.

 [System]
          You've found something strange!

          But a «Black Rock» is inside!

 [Book]
   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.

 [Zeal Palace, 12,000 B.C.]

 [Young Man]
   This is the Queen's Palace, the center
   of Zeal Kingdom.

   Which makes THIS, the center of the
   universe.

 [Old Man]
   The source of our energy lies deep
   below the sea.

   Now that its exact location has been
   found, the Ocean Palace will be built.

 [Young Man]
   Use the Queen's hall to get to the Ocean
   Palace, which is under construction.

 [Old Man]
   The wandering prophet is amazing!
   All his prophecies have come true.

   It's as if he knows the future!
   How eerie...

 [Young Woman]
   My, what strange clothes!
   You must be travelers from afar?

   Use the Spring of Recovery to
   recuperate from your journey.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   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...

 [Young Man]
   Did you know that Belthasar, the Guru
   of Reason, has secret rooms in Enhasa
   and Kajar?

 [Young Woman]
   The Queen's two heirs, Schala and
   Janus, get along so well.

   If only Janus would open up to
   others...

 [Young Woman]
   That pendant of yours...

   It looks like Schala's, but it doesn't
   glow.

 [Mune]
   I wanna be the wind, Masa!

 [Masa]
   Oh, you will some day.

 [Mune]
   Big sister Doreen's at Enhasa again

 [Masa]
   Yeah...
   That's 'cause she likes dreams.

 [Mune]
   I like the wind better!
   Whoosh!

 [Masa]
   I wonder how ol' man Melchior is...
   Humans are so odd...

 [Nu]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   Beings that are born of dreams, must
   return to them...

   The power of Lavos can make hopes
   and dreams come true...

 [Old Man]
   Even Belthasar is gone, after designing
   the Blackbird and the Ocean Palace.

   How strange that the 3 Gurus who
   guide Zeal have all disappeared.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Nu]
   This leads to the hall of the Mammon
   Machine.

 [Young Woman]
   The prophet's aura is full of hatred and
   sorrow.

   He'll destroy himself, and those he
   loves.

 [Old Man]
   Beyond is the hall of the Mammon
   Machine. The incredible energy of
   Lavos pervades it!

 [Young Woman]
   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.

   Oh, but you MUST feel them!
   The last of the great Lavos's
   emanations!

 [Young Man]
   THIS is the source of Zeal's strength.
   The Mammon Machine...it draws and
   magnifies the infinite power of Lavos.

 [Young Woman]
   Magic strong enough to control the
   extraction of energy, is needed to
   control the Mammon Machine.

 [Young Man]
   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...

 [Old Man]
   Melchior, who opposed the Queen's
   plans, has vanished.
   You're not thinking what I am, are
   you?

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   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!

 [Young Man]
   The completion of the Ocean Palace will
   allow Zeal to last forever!

   And there will be no fear or sadness,
   just eternal peace.

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   The Queen must have borne pain and
   sorrow in silence.

   No pain, no gain...
   Zeal, too, was born out of much
   sacrifice and work.

 [Nu]
   This will take you to the bedroom.

 [Young Man]
   Schala's pendant was made from the
   same red rock as the Mammon
   Machine.

   When she chants, the pendant glows.

 [Janus]
   Schala!!

 [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 you.

   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.

 [Young Woman]
   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?

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   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.

 [Nu]
   This connects to the Queen's hall.

 [Young Woman]
   To open the door from outside, an item
   like Schala's pendant is needed to
   break the seal.

 [Young Woman]
   No one may enter while the Queen is
   away at the Ocean Palace.

   Y...your pendant!!
   It looks just like Schala's!

   I heard that when Schala communes
   with the Mammon Machine, her
   pendant starts to glow.

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!

 [Old Man]
   That pendant...
   It looks like Schala's.

   When she chants to the Mammon
   Machine, the pendant glows...

   As if they were in union.

 [Old Man, Young Man]
   That glow...?!

   That's the pendant the Gurus made for
   Schala!!
   How did you get it?

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!

 [Young Woman]
   That glow...!?
   Is that Schala's pendant?

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!

 [Prophet]
   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.

 [Cave, 12000 B.C.]

PROPHET: Hmm...so you came in through
   here.

PROPHET: Now Schala!
   After I throw them in, I want you 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...

Break the Seal!

 [Lair Ruins, 65000000 B.C.]

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?!

 [End of Time]

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 you 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.

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,  [crononick]!

Ayla: Take Ayla,
    [member1]!

 [Guardia Forest, 1000 A.D.]

 [System]
             Got a Power Ring!

 [Guardia Forest, 600 A.D.]

 [System]
             Got a Speed Tab!

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

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.

 [System]
   It's locked.

 [Soldier]
   Since it IS our 1000th Anniversary,
   The King has, for the time being,
   ordered probation for Crono.

 [Soldier]
   The King awaits the return of his
   daughter.

 [Soldier]
   Due to the King's orders, the court is
   adjourned.

 [Soldier]
   We're about to begin celebrating, but
   with the King like that...

 [Soldier]
   Due to the King's orders, the court is
   adjourned.

 [Soldier]
   Getting ready for the Millennial Fair.

 [Soldier]
   What? You want to be put on trial
   again or something?

 [Soldier]
   The chef's ancestor had a cook-off
   with Magus's troops.

 [Soldier]
   Hey!!

   Leave it!

   Oh, dear!
   I didn't recognize you, Princess Nadia!

 [Young Woman]
   Hey, don't come in here without
   permission!

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   I'm in charge of the Princess'
   education!

 [Man]
   I'm in charge of her physical education!

 [Nun]
   I'm in charge of discipline.
   And she's missed almost every lesson
   this year!

 [Soldier]
   Mr. Pierre awaits downstairs.

 [Soldier]
   The Chancellor lost it right around the
   time he ordered that Dragon Tank to
   be built!

 [Soldier]
   The Chancellor hired all those soldiers
   that work in the jail.

 [Soldier]
   Those jail guardians were an odd
   bunch.

   We got cold stares from them.
   It's like they weren't even human!

 [Soldier]
   I heard the Chancellor really gave it to
   the King in court.

 [Pierre]
   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...

 [Soldier]
   Only the Chancellor thought Crono
   was guilty.

 [Soldier]
   Without Princess Nadia, this castle's
   dead.

 [Soldier]
   I, too, hope Princess Nadia returns.

 [Soldier]
   Princess Nadia's a dead ringer for
   her mother. That's why the King's so
   strict with her.

 [Soldier]
   The King is deeply concerned about
   Princess Nadia.

 [Soldier]
   But being a King, he keeps it all locked
   up inside.

 [Young Woman]
   After his wife's death, he only lived for
   Princess Nadia.

 [Chancellor]
   Urgh...!

   You'll see, you'll be put on ice!

 [King Guardia]
   It's you!

   Where's Princess Nadia?

   Tell her to return to the castle, please.

 [Chancellor]
   Come, Princess Nadia...

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 your
   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: ......

 [Chancellor]
   Oh, woe is me...

 [King Guardia]
   All right, forget it!
   Beat it, you guys!!

 [King Guardia]
   ......

   I've got nothing to say!

 [Chancellor]
   Why not give the King a present?

   He's been known to love jerky...

 [Young Woman]
   Jerky?

   Seems one of his ancestors first made
   it, but I don't know the recipe.

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

 [Chef]
   Yo!

   What?
   You want some Jerky?

   Sorry, I'm out of the ingredients right
   now. Besides, it's a tad spicy for most
   people.

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

 [Chancellor]
   Oh, my...

   That Crono, he'll be strung up!

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!!

 [Soldier]
   The King does not wish to see anybody.

 [Soldier]
   If you must know, he's been bedridden
   since then.
   He's emotionally drained.

 [Heckran Cave, 1000 A.D.]

 [System]
   It's sealed with a mysterious energy...

 [System]
                          Huh?

          There's something else in here.

           Wh...what in the world...!

 [Magic Cave, 600 A.D.]

 [System]
            Sealed by a mysterious force…

 [Bangor/Arris/Trann Dome, 2300 A.D.]

 [System]
   A curious crest is engraved here.
   Some unknown power keeps it sealed.

   The pendant shimmers...!

   The pendant begins to glow…

 [Arris Dome, 2300 A.D.]

 [Child]
   Hey!
   It's those people again!

 [Child]
   Hey!
   It's them!

 [Child]
   Daddy's on a trip.

 [Woman]
   But I haven't given up.
   This child, and this seed are
   still growing.

 [Man]
   Wonder what kind of fruit this is going
   to bear?

 [Man]
   Since you've come, we've gained the
   courage to live.

DOAN: Hey fellas!
   Look!
   The seed's sprouted!

 [Trann Dome, 2300 A.D.]

 [Man]
   So, there are people in Arris Dome, too!

 [Man]
   This edible?...

 [Man]
   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...

 [Man]
   What's this?

   A plant?
   What's that?

 [Woman]
   Never seen anything like this...

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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...

 [Party]
   Huh...?

 [Belthasar]
   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?

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 you...

BELTHASAR: ...name my time machine!

BELTHASAR: Hop aboard!

   No dozing off, now!

STRANGE CREATURE: I will now deliver a
   message from the professor.

STRANGE CREATURE: Instructions for the
   time machine are as follows.

   The Y Button displays the time gauge.

   Use the L & 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.

STRANGE CREATURE: Mumble, mumble?
      Take off.
      Get off.

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!!!

 [Party]
   Epoch's capable of THIS?!

 [End of Time]

Marle: We're outta here!

Lucca: Let's go, Epoch!

Robo: Forward, Epoch!

Frog: Hi ho, Epoch!!

Ayla: Epoch, GO!

Magus: We're off.

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!

 [System]
      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.

 [Land Bridge, 12000 B.C.]

 [System]
             The power is sealed...

 [Terra Cave, 12000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   This is Algetty, the village of the
   Earthbound Ones.

 [Woman]
   Many inhabitants of this land were
   taken to build the Ocean Palace, and
   were never seen again.

 [Man]
   Wanna buy something?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Man]
   We Earthbound Ones lack magical
   powers. That's why we were banished
   from Zeal.

 [Man]
   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...

 [Woman]
   Long ago, the Enlightened Ones and the
   Earthbound Ones lived as one.

 [Woman]
   Now, only the 3 Gurus and Miss Schala
   treat us as equals.

 [Little Boy]
   I wonder when Miss Schala's gonna
   come and play with us?

 [Little Boy]
   The Beast's nest is dangerous.
   Better stay away, okay?

 [Man]
   Spend the night?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Woman]
   Our Hero, the Guru of Life, rejected the
   Queen's plan, so he was banished to the
   Mountain of Woe.

 [Man]
   This hole leads to the Beast's nest.
   Through the nest you'll reach the place
   of chains, which anchors the Mountain
   of Woe.

 [Mud Imp]
   You can't pass through here!

The Guru on Mt.Woe

 [Mt. Woe, 12000 B.C.]

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!

 [Terra Cave, 12000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   Elder! The Mountain of Woe is about to
   crumble!!

 [Little Boy]
   Mommy, the mountain's gonna fall!

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!

 [Man]
   Elder!
   Schala is here!

MELCHIOR: What?
   Schala's here?

 [Dalton]
   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!

What Lies Beyond?

[Terra Cave, 12000 B.C.]

ELDER: Schala's been abducted.
   But without sorcery, we can't do a
   thing.

 [Woman]
   So it was the Enlightened Ones!

 [Little Boy]
   Miss Schala, where have you gone?

 [Little Boy]
   Aaaahhh, Schala...Schala...!!

 [Woman]
   How could something like this happen?

 [Man]
   Use the Skyway to chase Dalton.
   And please hurry, for Schala's sake!

 [Woman]
   It's likely that Dalton came here using
   the Skyway that Schala created.

 [Man]
   Sir Janus is headed toward the Skyway
   to save Miss Schala!

 [Woman]
   The Gurus of Time and Reason are
   missing, along with Miss Schala.
   Can no one stop the Queen?

 [Man]
   Is Miss Schala alive?

 [Kajar, 12000 B.C.]

 [Young Man]
   The Palace is finished!
   This heralds the dawn of the eternal
   kingdom of Zeal!!

 [Zeal Palace, 12000  B.C.]

 [Young Woman]
   The Queen took Schala with her to the
   Ocean Palace.

   We Enlightened Ones will finally attain
   immortality.

 [Young Man]
   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.

 [Old Man]
   The Ocean Palace is complete.
   Zeal will rule forever!!

 [Young Man]
   Our kingdom is shrouded in eternal
   light.

   There is no sadness or fear, only
   eternal peace.

 [Old Man]
   The hall of the Mammon Machine is
   beyond.
   But the power is gone...

 [Young Woman]
   Just as I thought!
   Unfortunately, the Mammon Machine
   has been moved.

   Tragic...I can no longer feel the last
   waves of energy.

 [Old Man]
   The Mammon Machine was moved to
   the Ocean Palace to obtain the raw
   energy of Lavos.

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!

Lavos Beckons

 [Ocean Palace, 12000 B.C.]

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: ......

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!

QUEEN: Ahh, I can feel it!
   The pulse of eternal life!!!
   Ha, ha, ha...!

SCHALA: D...dark...force...wild energy...!
   Aughhh!

PROPHET: ......!!

 [Young Man]
   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...!

DALTON: You made it THIS far.
   Maybe I underestimated you...

DALTON: But this is the end!
   THEY will take care of you!

DALTON: Come, GolemTwins!

DALTON: They beat the GolemTwins!?
   All right, this calls for the GolemBoss.

DALTON: W, what's this strange force?

   Could this be...Lavos's energy?!

DALTON: ...
   I've got a bad feeling about this...

   All my work will be in vain if I expire
   before I'm immortal!

DALTON: This is your lucky day!

   Bye-bye!

 [Nu]
   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!

 [Prophet]
   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!!

 [Queen]
   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!

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 you 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!!

 [Party]
   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......

 [Terra Cave, 12000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   A tidal wave!

 [Last Village, 12000 B.C.]

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: Crono!!

Lucca: Crono!

Robo: Crono!

Frog: Crono!

Ayla: Crono!

ELDER: Um!
   Your'e awake!

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?

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.

 [System]
   Will you stay?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Woman]
   A few «Enlightened Ones» did survive.
   But no distinctions remain between the
   «Enlightened» and the «Earthbound»
   anymore.

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Young Woman]
   We grew too dependent on a
   dangerous force.

 [Young Man]
   How can I survive in this land without
   my magic?

 [Man]
   You don't need magic to survive.
   Besides, you're not alone!

 [Young Man]
   You're absolutely right!
   We're alive, and there's always hope.

 [Man]
   Gotta seize the day!

 [Man]
   Everything and everyone sank to the
   bottom.

 [Woman]
   The sea of clouds has parted and the
   blizzard has finally abated.
   Could the long winter finally be over?

 [Little Boy]
   Zzz...

 [Woman]
   Must have cried himself to sleep.
   Let him be.

ELDER: All rested up?

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!

The New King

 [Blackbird, 12000 B.C.]

Marle: Uhh...

Lucca: Unghh...

Robo: ...?!

Frog: Huh...?

Ayla: Fuga!

Marle: Where are we?

Lucca: Where is this?

Robo: Unfamiliar...scenery.

Frog: Where are we?

Ayla: Where this?

 [member3]: !?

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!

 [Party]
   ...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...

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!

GUARD: Serves 'em right.
   Without weapons they're powerless.

Marle: What should we do,
    [member1]?
      Act sick.
      Think of a plan.

Lucca: What now,  [member1]?
      Act sick.
      Think of a plan.

Robo: What shall we do,  [member1]?
      Act sick.
      Think of a plan.

Frog: What shall we do,  [member1]?
      Act sick.
      Think of a plan.

Ayla: What we do,  [member1]?!
      Act sick.
      Think of a plan.

GUARD: Yeah, right!
   Nice try.

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!

    [member1] 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...

 [Guard]
   H, how did you guys get out?!

 [Guard]
   Hey you!?

 [Guard]
   Freeze!

    [member1] is escaping!
    [member1] is escaping!

 [Dalton]
   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!

 [member1]: 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

 [System]
                 Got money back!

                   Got items back!

          Got  [member1]'s equipment back!

          Got  [member2]'s equipment back!

          Got  [member3]'s equipment back!

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!!

 [Dalton]
   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!
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
   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!!

 [member2]: Look!

Robo: Th, that's!

Frog: What in the...!

 [member1]: 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...!

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 thief!

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!

Marle:  [member1]!
   Hit the Y Button, quick!

Lucca:  [member1]!
   Hit the Y Button, quick!

Robo:  [member1]!
   Please press the Y Button!

Frog:  [member1]!
   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!

 [Last Village Commons, 12000 B.C.]

 [Last Villagers]
   Yea!
   Justice!
   Dalton got what he deserved!

ELDER: Whoa!
   That ship can fly!

 [Epoch, 12000 B.C.]

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!!

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!!

 [Last Village, 12000 B.C.]

 [Young Man]
   He's got more goods.

 [Commons, 12000 B.C.]

 [Woman]
   I saw a suspicious looking person up
   north, on the cape.

 [Man]
   Gee, seeing you has really made my
   day!

 [Little Boy]
   Hurray!
   Hurray!

 [Young Man]
   A stranger trying to locate someone,
   passed by after you left.

 [Young Woman]
   No one had ever seen the person who
   came looking for you.
   Could he be a friend of yours?

 [Woman]
   Glad to see you've all recovered!

ELDER: We're slowly recovering.
   We've got to start from scratch.

 [North Cape, 12000 B.C.]

Magus: So, it's you...

Marle: Magus...

Lucca: Magus...

Frog: Magus!

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.

 [Ocean Palace, 12000 B.C., Lavos Timeline (Flashback)]

GASPAR: Hmm...!
   A dimensional warp!

BELTHASAR: This power is beyond
   human control!

MELCHIOR: No...!
   We'll be dragged into the warp!

 [Janus]
   SCHALA!!

SCHALA: No Janus!!
   Stay away!

JANUS: B, but!?

MELCHIOR: It, it's a...!!

GASPAR: A Timegate!?

BELTHASAR: No!!

JANUS: S, Schalaaa!!

SCHALA: Janus!!!

 [End of Time, Lavos Timeline Flashback]

GURU GASPAR: Th, this is...

   Hey.

   Nothing here...
   This must be...

   ...the End of Time...

 [North Cape, 12000 B.C.]

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 you, 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.

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!

   If... you want...
   to bring Crono back...

   find Gaspar, th...the Guru of Time...

 [System]
               You got the Amulet.

The Time Egg

 [Last Village Commons, 12000 B.C.]

 [Little Boy]
   Hey mister, is this your cat?

 [Epoch, 12000 B.C.]

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...!

 [Last Village Commons, 12000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   What the heck is that?

 [Man]
   It can't be!
   Is it the Ocean Palace!?

 [Woman]
   I sense strong magic, like Lavos's,
   emanating from that ship.

 [Elder]
   What happened?

 [Woman]
   I've never seen anything so ominous.

 [Woman]
   Don't tell me something else is gonna
   happen!

 [Little Boy]
   What a massive ship!

 [Guard]
   Dalton doesn't have what it takes to be
   a king.

 [Guard]
   Mr. Dalton was rough on his employees
   and the pay wasn't great either.

 [Woman]
   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?!

 [Laruba Ruins, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Nu]
   Who disturbs my slumber?
   Nu...!
   Just trying to get some shut eye.

   I'll change  [member1]'s name, so let me
   get some rest, nu...!

      Sleep well.

 [Nu]
   I Forget.
   No need for this stone, so I give to you.

 [Chief's Hut, 65000000 B.C.]

KINO: Did good!
   Take time, rest.

KINO: Ayla!!
   Ayla ok?
   Kino ok!

KINO: Lavos fall.
   Reptites gone. Good!
   But get cold now.
   Hunting bad...

   But Kino not give up!
   Ayla no worry, leave to Kino!

 [Meeting Site, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Woman]
   Many cloud in sky.
   No can see sun.

 [Man]
   White, cold stuff fall from sky.
   What that?

 [Child]
   Brr!
   Cold!

 [Chief]
   Thankful for Ioka.
   When village burn, they take us in.

 [Man]
   I peek inside trader shop.
   New item there!

 [Ioka Hut, 65000000 B.C.]

 [Man]
   Found strange rock!
   But feel icky when touch, so throw
   away.

 [Man]
   Ayla quit chief.
   Kino now chief.

 [Woman]
   Bright fire, Lavos, fall.
   Get cold now.

 [Woman]
   No more Sweet Water.
   Never happen before.

 [Woman]
   Less monster, now cold.
   Less animal too.

 [Trader]
   Made armor from many rubies.
   10 each of «Petal,» «Fang,» «Horn,» and
   «Feather» for trade.

   You want trade?
         Yes.
         No.

   You want more?
         Yes.
         No.

          You got a Ruby Armor!

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

STRANGE CREATURE: Caution.
   The Time Axis is out of order.

 [End of Time]

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 you 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...

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...

SPEKKIO: All right!
   Sweetheart!

   Unfortunately, you were born before
   magic existed! But you seem to have
   other skills that will get you by.

 [System]
   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.

Magus: Going my way?
      Yes.
      No.

Magus: Now we've got a winning
   team!

Magus: The weak always strive to
   be weaker...

 [Lab 32, 2300 A.D.]

 [Jonny]
   JOHNNY: Where's spike head?
   I only ride with him.

 [Crono's House, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: A, are you one of Crono's
   friends?

Magus: ...

MOM: Another quiet one?!
   Don't be shy, dear!

MOM: What a beautiful day!
   The Black Omen sure sparkles in the
   sun!

   What a great day for laundry!

 [Melchior's Hut, 1000 A.D.]

MELCHIOR: The Black Omen which floats
   in the sky.
   ...made by neither the Mystics nor
   humans...

   What does it portend...?

 [Medina Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Imp]
   Oh, the Black Omen, the Black Omen [note] [note]
   We will smile on the Black Omen [note] [note]
   Always [note]

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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: 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!

 [Leene Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Norstein Bekkler]
   So! You want a Crono Clone?
   Normally I'd never do this, but today
   I'll make an exception.

   Challenge me, and I'll give you a Clone.
   The longer you stay in the game, the
   lower my price will be.

         Take the challenge!
         It's not my lucky day.

   You're out of cash.
   Play longer, spend less!

   I'll take 60,000 G.

   I'll take 30,000 G.

   I'll take 10,000 G.

   I'll take 5,000 G.

   I'll take 2000 G.

   I'll take 1000 G.

   The Clone will be at Crono's house.

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

BELTHASAR: Without the Clone, there's
   no point in going to «Death Peak!»
   Now, scram!

 [Crono's House, 1000 A.D.]

MOM: Oh, hello!
      Is Crono okay?

Marle: Uh, he's ok.

   Fine actually.

Lucca: Yeah...

   ...

   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: ...

 [Crono's Mom]
   Yes dear?

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.

          You got the Clone!

Crono's Mom: Stay out of trouble,
   now!

 [Keeper's Dome, 2300 A.D.]

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.

 [Poyozo Doll]
   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.

 [System]
   Switch the creature off?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
   This creature sleeps beyond the flow
   of time.

 [Death Peak, 2300 A.D.]

 [Poyozo Doll]
   Walk when the wind dies and hide
   behind trees when it blows.

 [Poyozo Doll]
   Be careful!
   It's slippery.
   Fall, and you'll have to start over.

 [Poyozo Doll]
   Push the shell...
   Climb the shell...

 [Party]
   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!

 [Party]
   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.

 [Ocean Palace, 12000 B.C.]

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?

 [Party]
   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.

 [Death Peak, 2300 A.D.]

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!

The Fated Hour

 [End of Time]

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...

 [Gaspar]
   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...

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.

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...

 [System]
   Will you take Crono?
         Yes.
         No.

SPEKKIO: Hey!
   Punk head!
   Where ya been?

 [Forest Ruins, 1000 A.D.]

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?

 [Nu]
   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...

 [Truce Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   My dream has come true.
   Peace is ours!

 [Young Man]
   Let's wage peace from now on!

 [Banta]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   Now we'll have peace and prosperity.

 [Cathedral, 600 A.D.]

 [Nun]
   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...

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

 [Soldier]
   We've been expecting you!
   To the King's chamber, please!

 [Soldier]
   What a stroke of luck for you guys.
   Defeated Magus, huh?

 [Soldier]
   The injured soldiers have all
   recovered.

 [Maid]
   See, they're all better!

 [Injured Knight]
   Please...be

   ...gentle...

 [Soldier]
   The Knight Captain and chef have
   finally made up!

 [Maid]
   Sorry, I don't have time right now.

 [Maid]
   The chef's experimenting on a great
   dish.

 [Maid]
   It's so complicated, who knows when
   he'll be done!

 [Maid]
   A great dish needs a great name!

 [Knight Captain]
   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...

 [Chef]
   Nonesense!
   YOU saved the day.
   I just cooked!

   I'm whipping up a victory meal!
   Something real fancy!

 [Knight]
   If they had broken through at Zenan
   Bridge, this castle would've been
   destroyed.

 [Knight]
   Since you didn't come out of
   Magus's castle, I simply thought...

 [Chancellor]
   Crono, my thanks extend for
   generations to come.

 [Queen Leene]
   I don't know how to thank you...

   Frog!
   Where's Frog?

 [Queen Leene]
   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.

Frog: ...

   My heart is glad...thank you,
   my Liege!

 [King Guardia]
   Y...you're ALIVE!

   Although we did sustain major
   casualties, we wouldn't have made it
   without you!

   Anyway, we all must work together to
   rebuild the Kingdom of Guardia!

   We're all in this together!

 [Queen Leene]
   Frog, thanks again.
   You deserve the title, Knight!

Frog: Waste not, such precious
   words on me.

 [System]
       Sealed with a mysterious energy...

   Something inside is reacting to the
   pendant. Take out what's inside?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Truce Inn, 600 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Yahoooo!!
   Somebody STOP me!!!
   Hurrah to the Hero and Guardia!

 [Soldier]
   They've built a Town Square to
   celebrate peace.

 [Soldier]
   And they've named it after Queen
   Leene.

 [Man]
   What a happy occasion!
   Let's get crazy!

 [System]
   Something is reacting to the pendant.
   Take the item inside?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Truce Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [System]
                 Blue Vest powers up!
                  Found Blue Mail!

                  Found Blue Vest!

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Knight]
   Magus's troops are pretty tame
   when he's not leading them!

 [Dorino Market, 600 A.D.]

 [Woman]
   Peace at last, thanks to the Hero!

   Hurrah for the Hero!
   Hurrah for Guardia!

 [Dorino Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Little Boy]
   The Hero has beaten the evil monsters!
   Yea!

 [Young Woman]
   I heard the Hero was Sir Cyrus's friend.

   He must be a handsome knight.
   Sigh...

Frog: ......

   ......

Frog: Uwa, ha!
   What irony!

 [Woman]
   Magus survived, and is in hiding.

   We can't let him escape!
   Think of all the soldiers that fell...

 [Dorino Elder's House, 600 A.D.]

 [Old Woman]
   The chief of Sandorino lives here.
   Finally, we'll have some peace!

 [Woman]
   Magus's 3 henchmen ran off and
   are hiding on some island.

   Will we never get rid of those
   evildoers?

 [Young Woman]
   Behold...!

   The legendary Hero, with sword in
   hand!

   Just once, I wish I could be in the
   Hero's shoes!

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!

 [Dorino Inn, 600 A.D.]

 [Old Man]
   The famous Denadoro Mountain winds
   have grown mild.

 [Nun]
   We're saved!
   At least for now...

OWNER: Hah!
   Magus is gone!

   Now there's nothing to fear!
   Let's have a party!

 [Young Man]
   They stopped Magus.

   Now that it's safe I'm enjoying my
   lemonade!
   Vitamin C builds strong bodies!

 [Porre Café, 600 A.D.]

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.

 [Mistress]
   Tata's been working hard lately.
   Maybe he's growing up.

 [Man]
   A slimy frog man beat Magus?

   If I knew it was gonna be so easy, I'd
   have done it myself!
   Geez!

 [Old Man]
   Yeah, he sure was weird.
   Ahem...

   Oh, I meant, such a magnificent frog!
   He'll be a hero or a chancellor...!

 [Fiona's Villa, 600 A.D.]

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.

 [Sunken Desert, 600 A.D.]

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!

 [Fiona's Villa, 600 A.D.]

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?

 [Snail Stop, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   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.

 [Fiona's Shrine, 1000 A.D.]

 [Nun]
   This is Fiona's Shrine.
   Here we give thanks to Fiona &
   Robo for replanting the forest 400
   years ago!

 [Nun]
   The remains of the lofty Robo are
   enshrined in the inner sanctum.

 [Nun]
   Here's a hat made from a magical
   bough filled with mystical forest
   powers.

Robo: Systems reactivated.
      Wh, where am I?

Robo: Ahh...

    [member1], 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.

 [Fiona's Forest, 1000 A.D.]
   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?

 [Lucca's House, 990 A.D.]

Lucca: Did I make it back...to that
   moment?

 [Diary]
   «6/24/990A.D.
   Dad promised to go hiking with me, but
   blew me off again, due to his work. I
   hate science! I loathe it!»

LARA: Lucca... Lucca...

 [Note]
   The password is...
   The name of my lovely wife.
   Use it in an emergency.
                       -Taban

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!!

 [Diary]
   7/1/990 A.D.
   I wish I hadn't heard what the doctor
   told dad.

   Mommie's legs...they're...

 [Diary]
   7/15/990 A.D.
   If only I knew more about machines.
   Then mom would still be okay.
   If only I...

 [System]
   Enter password.

Lucca: Thank goodness, mommie.

 [Diary]
   7/2/990 A.D.
   I feel like I've learned something!
   I'll study machines now. There'll be no
   more accidents around here.

 [Fiona's Forest, 1000 A.D.]

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's House, 1000 A.D.]

LARA: What a beautiful day!
   I'll finish the housework and take a
   walk.

 [Medina Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Mystics]
   Oh, great Ozzie [note] Ozzie the great [note]
   He shall rule all [note]

   Oh, great Ozzie [note] Ozzie the great [note]
   Ozzie fills our days and nights with joy [note]

 [Imp]
   Hut!
   Sir Ozzie...

   Tut!

 [Medina Elder's House, 1000 A.D.]

OZZIE VIII: They still worship Ozzie's
   statue in the village square.

 [Ozzie's Fort, 600 A.D.]

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
   thieves!

   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 you 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 you want the treasure
   box?

 [Imp]
   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.

 [Zenan Bridge, 600 A.D.]

 [Knight]
   When Magus left, his troops ran
   away.

 [Medina Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Imp]
   Yeah!
   Race ya!

 [Imp]
   Hey, wait up!

 [Imp]
   Groovin' on life...

 [Hench]
   Why do I always get stuck doing this?

 [Medina Elder's House]

OZZIE VIII: Yes sir!
   I take pride in cleaning up.
   No, I'm not slacking off!

 [Bandeau]
   The name's Bandeau.
   Here to build the ferry between Medina
   and Truce.

 [Elder]
   I'm the leader of Medina.
   Make yourself at home.

 [Medina Residence]

 [Imp]
   Hey guys, long time no see!
   What's up?

 [Imp]
   Gonna run a ferry between Truce and
   Medina soon.

 [Medina Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [Imp]
   Hey there!
   How can I help you?

 [Imp]
   It's so peaceful.

 [Old Man]
   Hey, this stuff's mighty tasty!

 [Imp]
   10G per night. Care to stay?
         Yes.
         No.

 [Geno Dome, 2300 A.D.]

Robo: Analysis complete.

   Please follow me.

 [Mother Brain]
   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?

 [System]
   Enter the «Dust Chute?»
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
      Found a Power Tab!

 [System]
      Found a Magic Tab!

 [System]
      Found a Speed Tab!

 [Mother Brain]
   300 yrs. ago the Lavos disaster greatly
   changed the planet.
   At this rate, humans will die out from
   pure despair.

   Don't you understand?
   This planet would be peaceful if there
   were no humans around.

   And yet you still want to fight?
   Why?

Robo: This computer can give us
   data about the Geno Dome.

      Door
      Conveyor Belt
      Guard Machine
      Doll

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.

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...

 [System]
   Atropos' Ribbon ups Robo's Speed
   by 3 and Magic Defense by 10.

 [Mother Brain]
   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...

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: !!

 [Mother Brain]
   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 your 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.

 [Mother Brain]
   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.

 [Mother Brain]
   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: 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...!

 [System]
   Got the Terra Arm and the Crisis Arm!

 [System]
            All functions are down...

 [Sun Palace, 2300 A.D.]

 [System]
         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?

 [Sun Keep, 65000000 B.C.]

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.

 [System]
   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.

 [Sun Keep, 2300 A.D.]

Lucca: It's gone!!
   The Moon Stone is gone!

   It looks like it's been gone for ages.
   Let's try another time period.

Marle: It's not here!
   The Moon Stone is gone!

   It's been gone for ages.
   Let's check out another time.

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.

Frog: The Moon Stone, 'tis gone!

   Yet it hast not been taken recently.
   Let us return in time.

Ayla: ...
   Gone...rock not here?

   But plenty dust.
   Someone take long time ago.

Magus: ...
   The Moon Stone is gone.

   ...

   Seems it's been gone for 1300 years
   or so.
   Let's get back to the present.

 [Sun Keep, 1000 A.D.]

Lucca: It isn't here either.

   I wonder if someone from this time
   period has taken it?

Marle: Not here either...

   Did someone from this age take it?

Robo: Doesn't look like it's here
   either.

   Has someone from this era taken it?

Frog: Not here either...

   Hast someone from this time taken
   it?

Ayla: Not here too.

   Someone take!
   We find!

Magus: It hasn't been gone for long.
   Let's take a look around.

 [Porre Mayor's Manor, 1000 A.D.]

 [Mayor]
   Moon Stone?
   Never heard of it!

 [Porre Mayor's Manor, 600 A.D.]

 [Elder's Wife]
   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!

                 Got a Black Vest!

 [Porre Mayor's Manor, 1000 A.D.]

 [Mayor]
   You're interested in the Moon Stone?
   Well, someone simply left it here.

   Seems important to you folks.
   Why don't you take it!

 [Mayor]
   Share and share alike!
   Help the needy!
   Thinkin' about makin' THAT the town

   My dad, of course!

 [Little Boy]
   I love my daddy!

 [Mayor's Wife]

   generous.

 [Little Girl]
   Everyone thinks DAD.'s generous.
   Does that mean they think he's cool?
   Who knows.

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?

 [Lucca's House, 1000 A.D.]

Lucca: I'll modify the Sun Stone to
   extract its energy...

Lucca: ...then, we'll just vacuum
   pack it into a cartridge...

Lucca: ...and it's finished!

Lucca: Sometimes I amaze myself!

TABAN: Take a look Lucca!
   I borrowed a bit of the Sun Stone to
   create something nifty!

 [Northern Ruins, 1000 A.D.]

Ayla: It's like rock!

Lucca: What kind of shield IS THAT?!

Frog: My sword hath no effect!

Marle: Nothing can touch it!

 [Choras Mayor's Manor, 1000 A.D.]

 [Mayor]
   There's an old structure to the north.
   It's been in ruins for ages.

 [Woman]
   Ghosts lurk in the ruins.

 [Maid]
   They say some brain-dead ghost hangs
   out in the ruins to the north.

 [Woman]
   Scary!

 [Maid]
   Spirits, still attached to the real world,
   live in places like that.

 [Old Woman]
   The anguish of tormented spirits has
   created a negative energy that
   surrounds the ruins.

 [Maid]
   I'd stay away from the ruins!
   The structural damage is severe.

 [Old Man]
   The Black Omen sparkles in the sun!
   Tomorrow should be clear, too.

   Not enough money.

   Come on in!

   All the young 'uns went to the Millennial
   Fair.
   Kids are just gluttons for fun.

 [Old Man]
   The adventurer Toma's grave is on the
   western cape.
   He only failed to find the Rainbow Shell.

 [Young Man]
   Not a single sale!
   And I came all the way from Porre.

   You, will you please buy something ?

 [Young Woman]
   Heard about the ghost?
         Yes.
         No.

   Oh?
   Then beat it!

   A Ghost Knight roams the Northern
   Ruins!

   Isn't that a trip?

 [Man]
   Hey, bring some more soda!

 [Bartender]
   Sir, I think you've had enough sugar
   today.

 [Man]
   Pipe down!
   I'll tell you when I've had enough!
   Can't you see I love soda pop?

   Nothing like soda pop to quench your

   I'm gonna show him who's BOSS.
   Next time, POW, right in the kisser!

 [Choras Residence, 600 A.D.]

   There's something eerie about the
   Northern Ruins.

 [Choras Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Young Men]
   We're only trainees.

   The boss is at his favorite cafe.

 [Choras Cafe, 600 A.D.]

 [Boss]
   My tools have been stolen!
   I can't get any work done now.

 [Maid]
   I wish Toma would stay put for a
   change.

 [Maid]
   Toma's off to find the Rainbow Shell.

 [Young Woman]
   10 years ago a beast was seen carrying
   something into the Northern Ruins.
   Treasure, perhaps?!

TOMA: Hey  [member1], 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?

 [Maid]
   I wonder where Toma's off to now?

 [Choras Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [Boss]
   You wanna borrow my tools?

   Be my guest!
   I'm busy here, so go get them from my

   His tools?
   Oh, hold on, they're right here.

   Careful with 'em.

   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...

 [Choras Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Boss]
   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!

 [Young Men]
   Whatever you say boss!

 [Northern Ruins, 600 A.D.]

 [Boss]
   We're done for now.

   We can't repair the spots where the
   monsters hide.
   Call us after you get rid of them.
   We'll do the rest.

 [Choras Residence, 600 A.D.]

 [Boss]
   You want the Northern Ruins repaired?
   It'll cost you 2000 G.

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...!

CYRUS: The Queen...
   Look after Queen Leene.

   Alas, and...farewell...G...le...n...n...

Frog: I'm so sorry, Cyrus.

Frog: !?

Frog: The Masamune?!

Frog: 'Tis flowing with strength
   and vigor.

 [Masamune]
   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!

   You can find the Shell there.

TOMA: But beware!
   There are many beasts about!

   «Those holes! What if I jump into them
   on purpose? Yes!
   I'll start back at the beginning, and...»

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?

 [Guardia Castle, 600 A.D.]

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  [member1].
   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!

 [Giant's Claw, 600 A.D.]

SOLDIER: It's heavy...
   But we'll manage!

KNIGHT CAPTAIN: Okay, everyone!
   Lift!!!

 [Choras Café, 600 A.D.]

TOMA: So,  [member1], 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!

 [Truce Inn, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Woman]
   Why is there a different guard on duty
   at the castle every time I go there?

 [Young Man]
   The soldiers say the Chancellor's been
   acting funny.

 [Truce Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Young Man]
   Hmm...
   It's taking forever for the King's
   parade to begin.
   I wonder if something's wrong?

 [Guardia Castle, 1000 A.D.]

 [System]
       Sealed with a mysterious power...

   Reacting to the pendant, something
   inside begins to glow. Remove it?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
          Level up for the Red Vest!
              Got the Red Mail!

 [Soldier]
   They say the King sold off the royal
   treasures.

 [Soldier]
   The trial of the century is about to
   begin.
   Who's, you ask?

   King Guardia's, of course!

 [Young Woman]
   I can't get anything done, with you
   standing around!

 [Soldier]
   Cut the foolishness!

 [Young Woman]
   Jeez, I ain't gonna poison the
   Chancellor.

 [Soldier]
   The King ordered that the court be
   locked until the trial's over.

 [Soldier]
   Same thing on the left...

   But weren't there some stairs, over
   there?

 [Soldier]
   No entry allowed!

Marle: Let me through!!

CHANCELLOR: Had any of you heard of
   the «Rainbow Shell?»

   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!

 [Soldier]
   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 A.D., 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 A.D.!
   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
   A.D.?

 [Soldier]
   The decision is about to be handed
   down.
   The King requests that no one enter or
   leave.

 [Soldier]
   This is the treasury.
   No entry permitted!

 [Soldier]
   Ouch!
   A rat bit me!

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!

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!

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!

JUDGE: Members of the jury...
   If he is guilty, stand to the left.
   If innocent, stand to the right.

 [Juror]
   Guilty.

Marle: You won't reconsider?

SOLDIER: No, Princess.

Marle: There is one way...
   It's a bit rough, but just follow me!

JUDGE: The verdict is in!
   Guilty!!!

CHANCELLOR: The Guardia line ends
   here.
   This domain shall be mine!

   Take him away!

 [Marle]
   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 you 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.

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!

 [Melchior]
   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!

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!

 [Soldier]
   So!
   The Chancellor was a beast!

 [Soldier]
   The King's finally feeling better.

 [Soldier]
   No one could tell that the Chancellor
   was a beast...

 [Soldier]
   Now THIS is what I call a 1000th
   Anniversary.

 [Soldier]
   The soldiers hired by the fake
   Chancellor were all monsters.

 [Pierre]
   I'm Pierre, the lawyer.

   So, like, where's the real chancellor?

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!

 [Chancellor]
   Princess Nadia!
   At the moonlight parade, you shall
   receive a lovely present from me!

 [Pierre]
   I'm Pierre, the lawyer.

   I've been planning the Millennial Parade
   with the Chancellor.

 [Chancellor]
   Enjoy yourselves at the moonlight
   parade!

 [Soldier]
   Now we can go on with the moonlight
   parade.

 [Soldier]
   Gonna be a great night.

 [Soldier]
   The parade's the grand finale.

 [Soldier]
   It's the kind of parade that brings out
   the kid in all of us.

 [Maid]
   That's great to hear...!

 [King]
   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!

 [Man]
   Princess, let's start with P.
   E.!

 [Old Man]
   It's no game, now !

 [Nun]
   No, we MUST start with discipline!

 [Waiter]
   Please have a seat over here.

 [Waiter]
   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!

 [Young Woman]
   Come on, now!!

 [Young Man]
   We owe it all to you!
   Eat all you want.

 [Black Omen, 2300 A.D.]

 [Queen Zeal]
   Know this!
   The mighty Lavos reigns here!

 [Queen Zeal]
   Relax, poor creatures...
   The Mighty Lavos has already
   consumed this world's life energy!

 [System]
               It's shut tight...

 [System]
   Return to Epoch?
         Yes
         No

 [Black Omen, 12000 B.C.]

 [Queen Zeal]
   Fools!
   Haven't you learned your lesson?!

   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.

 [Black Omen, 600 A.D.]

 [Queen Zeal]
   Within 1,400 years he will emerge to
   become ruler of this world!

 [Black Omen, 1000 A.D.]

 [Queen Zeal]
   Within 999 years he'll become the ruler
   of this world.

 [Black Omen, 12000 B.C.]

 [Queen Zeal]
   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!

 [Nu]
   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.

 [Nu]
   Hey!
   We've got a customer!

 [Nu]
   What will you do?
         Shop!
         Just chat.

   Got a lot of great stuff!

   Come again!

   These just don't sell too well, ho, ho!!

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!

UNDERLING: Get on, ribbit!

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!

 [Queen Zeal]
   You cretins...

   I plan to live with Lavos, and control
   the universe forever.
   You will not get in my way!

Magus: Idiots...
   Nothing can live forever.

Magus: Zeal...
   A pitiful woman, duped by Lavos!

Magus: I, myself, will bring an end
   to all of this!

 [Queen Zeal]
   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!

   Mwa, ha, ha...

   At last, Lavos awakens!

   Compared with him, you are like
   germs.
   But, I...I shall obtain immortality!

   Indulge in such regrets in the next life!

The Final Battle

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!

 [Medina Square, 1000 A.D.]

 [Imp]
   Great weather.

 [Choras Residence, 1000 A.D.]

 [Old Man]
   Great weather today.

 [Lavos Battle, 1999 A.D. (Without Winged Epoch)]

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:  [member1]! What do we do?
      Fight!
      Run away for now!

Lucca: Are we REALLY going on?
      Fight!
      Run away for now!

Robo:  [member1], shall we go on?
      Fight!
      Run away for now!

Frog:  [member1]! 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 youth!

Robo: Let us go!!

Frog: Cometh, Masamune!

Ayla: Ayla not run!
   Ayla fight!!

Magus: Finally, I shall destroy you!

 [Party]
   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...

 [Lavos Battle, 1999 A.D. (With Epoch)]

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?

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.

 [Lavos Shell]

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 your 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.

   (absent or absorbed into the above)

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  [member1]!
   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!

 [Ending: Beyond Time (With Epoch)]

 [Soldier]
   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 your
   sentence.

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 your 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!

KING GUARDIA: Now Marle, go out
   and enjoy the last night of the fair!

 [System]
   Come along with Crono, our Hero.

   Princess Nadia is finally home!
   At last, Guardia is back to normal!

         It's a moonlight parade!

 [Elaine]
   This is fantastic!

 [Fritz]
   The princess is gorgeous! Don't get
   me wrong, of course you are
   too.

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!

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.

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...

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...

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?!

Marle: Lucca, don't turn off
   your brain, yet!

Lucca: I forgot!
   We have a Time Machine!

                  Nya ha ha!

SOLDIER: Oh, Princess, the King asks for
   your presence.

KING: I'm so happy!
   Now there's no reason for you to go
   away anymore.

KING: I have a gift for you,
   to commemorate this day,
   Princess Nadia.

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?

Marle: Daddy...
   I hate to say this but…

   I can't sit around doing nothing!

TABAN: Phew!
   Made it just in time!
   Shall I fire one off?

KING: Uh, no Taban.
   Actually, I could really use your help...

 [Ending: Beyond Time (Without Epoch)]

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!

 [Ending: Beyond Time (Without Fiona's Forest)]

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.

 [Ending: Reunion]

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 you 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...

 [System]
   Come on!
   It's the last night of the fair!

MOM: Have you seen Crono?
   He was really looking forward to this
   fair!
   Where do you suppose he is?

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?

 [Frog]
   That «Time Egg» of his can bring HIM
   back!

Lucca: Bring who back?
You mean Crono?

 [Frog]
   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?

 [Ending: Reunion (Without Epoch)]

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 you stay here
   with your dad?

Marle: But...

Lucca: Don't worry!
   I'll bring the idiot back!

Lucca: Trust me!

Marle: ?!
   H, help!!

 [Ending: The Dream Project]

 [Gaspar]
   Good job! You finished the hardest
   version of the game! This is the
   development room for the Chrono
   Trigger game.

   team has to say...

Ken Narita: Love was in the air...
   But then...the boat sank.
   Sigh...

Hiroyuki Ito: Heh heh... the Tyrano Lair?
   Yup, it was my bright idea to put the
   switch in the mouth!

Kazuo Suzuki: Hey that's me, the
   merchant-maker!

   ROM for 24 hrs! Aaah!! Someone save
   me...I'm getting sucked in!

Masanori Hoshino: Hey, they promised
   to name the game Hoshino Trigger!

Mami Kawai: Oops!

   costume you got on there, kid!
   Wait!
   It's really YOU, isn't it?!

Fumi Nakashima: Someone kiss me!

Yasuhiko Kamata: Isn't 32 megs great?
   The graphics become incredible. It
   was painful at times, but it sure was
   fun!

Keita Eto: It'll cost you 10,000,000G to
   fix a broken map!

Haruyuki Nishida: Want to see a
   Chrono Trigger 2?
      Yes.
      No.

   That'd be nice huh?

Kato: Every night will have a day.
   Even forever has to come to an end.
   ...I think...

Keisuke Matsuhara: Thank you, thank
   you, no applause necessary, just
   send money...

Yasuyuki Honne: Phew, what a relief
   it's over!

   on when you challenge Lavos.

Yusuke Naora: Well are we having fun
   yet?

Takayuki Ohtachi: Mission complete!

Kezuka: Better find the switch soon or
   it'll all go up in flames!

 [Gaspar]

   Hey are you guys watching?
   Isn't this great?!

Yuji Horii: One of these things is not
   like the others...
   A Stapler, Mothra, and the Olympics.
   SO...which one is it?

Hironobu Sakaguchi: Boy, it used to be
   that I'd get thinner after each game.
   Now I'm gaining weight instead.
   Ack! I must be getting old.

Kazuhiko Aoki: Guess what!
   I hit the 100,000 yen jackpot!

Nobuo Uematsu: siht daer naht od ot

 [Ending: The Successor of Guardia]

 [Various People]
   Princess!
   Wearing our disguise again, are we?

 [Man]
   My, your majesty, you look splendid!

 [Little Girl]
   Princess!
   I see you're dressing...normally again!

Marle: Something doesn't look
   right...

Marle: Let's return to the castle!

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!!

 [Ending: Legendary Hero]

HERO TATA: Magus!!

 [Ending: The Oath]

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!

 [Marle]
   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...

 [Slash]
   Grow up...!

   Finally, we've got someone who wants</pre><pre id="faqspan-7">

 [Flea]
   Harhar, this is hilarious...!

   So, you think YOU can take us on?

 [Ozzie]
   Y, you're...!!

 [Magus]
   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...

 [Ending: Dino Age]

 [Crono's Mom]
   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!

MOM: You were so excited about the
   Millennial Fair that you didn't sleep
   well, did you...?

   I want you to behave yourself today!

MOM: Now, get out of that bed!

 [Ending: What the Prophet Seeks]

 [Magus]
   If history is to change, let it change! If
   the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

   If my fate is to be destroyed...
   I must simply laugh!!

   I'm coming, Lavos!

 [Ending: A Slide Show?]

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» ?!

KWhazit translated the Japanese script of Chrono Trigger.

JLukas extracted the Japanese script so that it could be translated.

ZeaLitY edited, arranged, and presented the scripts in the four-column format
with the aid of the springtime of youth.

Vehek and Kyronea provided last minute lost line assistance.

whatev and doulifee for ancient lost line assistance.

A hearty thanks goes out to all those who love the Chrono series and have
waited as long as we have for a new translation of Chrono Trigger.

Thanks also goes out to Ted Woolsey for doing a cool job the first time
around and making Chrono Trigger a fun, well-rounded game.

Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone who has contributed or hung around the
Chrono Compendium. Whether you're a tomato, pirate, Guru, or just a
plain old awesome ROM hacker, you've come together with many other fans to
make the site the true center of the universe.
