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
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?

We've sharpened up the guillotine...
Any last words?
[Soldier]
Who the heck are YOU?
Lucca: Get outta my way!!

Pretty cool, huh?

It contains a shield that prevents
damage by Lightning and Fire.
Unless the Head can be defeated, the
Tank is unbeatable.

Lucca: What was that?
CHANCELLOR: Forward, Dragon Tank!
Crush those rebels!
CHANCELLOR: They got the Dragon Tank!!

Just because I have a title doesn't

It's called «common sense!»

Lucca: The civilization here seems

It's sealed by some kind of power.

You'll find some food at Arris Dome to

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

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!

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

Lucca: ......
Marle: Crono...
Marle: There's only one thing we

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

Marle: Crono!

Together we can do this!
Lucca: Let's take a second and do
some more research on Lavos'

Marle: This is all we could get...
DOAN: Seeds...?

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

DOAN: Heal-thy?
Got a nice ring to it!
We'll try growing the seeds...

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

Take care, and stay...healthy!

Marle: But the door to the inner

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,

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

But not to worry.
All time periods connect here...
You can visit your friends whenever
you wish! But you can never travel in

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!

SPEKKIO: Hi!
Looking for some practice?
Yes.
No.

Remember, I'M the Master of War!
SPEKKIO: GRRRR...
That was most embarrassing!
SPEKKIO: Wait a sec!

The Village of Magic
[Medina Residence, 1000 A.D.]
[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.
[Medina Market, 1000 A.D.]
[Omnicrone]
No human's gonna talk to ME!
[Hench]
Nothing here to sell to humans!
Get out of here!
Give up.
Plead.
You know-it-all humans!
Teach 'em a lesson, boss!
They got the boss?!
Beasts!
All right.
I'll sell something to you.
Hah! You think I'm gonna cut my prices
for a HUMAN?!
[Medina Inn, 1000 A.D.]
[Diablos]
You're spoilin' my meal!
Scram!
[Diablos]
Hah! I hope those humans get what
they deserve from Heckran!
[Hench]
No room here for humans.

Plead with them.
Awww!

Get' em!

Not enough cash, huh?
[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]

Yes.

You saved my skin back there.
FRITZ: Man, was I up the creek!
I went off on a buying trip, and

The officials planned to execute me

What has gotten into them?

Thank you, again!

[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...

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?
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

Aaagh!

Y, you'd best run away while you
can!

Yes
No

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!

Marle: Oh, brother...
Lucca: Where have they been

Robo: Y, yes?
Ayla: You different, but strong

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.

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.

Hmm.

Where Azala run?
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.
[End of Time]
OLD MAN: What luster!
The Masa...Mune, correct?
A...person in the Middle Ages wants to
take down Magus with that.
[Cursed Woods, 600 A.D.]
Frog: 'Tis thee again.
Frog: This sword...
'Tis the Masamune?
Frog: I must ponder this turn of
events.
Remain'eth here the night.

LEENE: Cyrus!
Are you leaving?
CYRUS: Yes, it's time we took back the
Medal from the Frog King.
And I'd like to see that mythical
sword for myself.
GUARDIA: But Cyrus, the kingdom needs
you!
And Leene and I need you.
You must return to us!
CYRUS: As long as there is life in these
bones, I shall return!
By your leave...
SOLDIER: Sir Cyrus!!
SOLDIER: We, the Knights of the Square
Table, wish you a safe journey!
CYRUS: Listen well, my friends...
CYRUS: I now entrust the safety of the
kingdom to you!
CYRUS: Pardon the delay.
Shall we be off?
LEENE: Glenn, you be careful too!
GLENN: Be of sound health, your
Majesty!
[Frog's Flashback, Unknown Forest, 590 A.D.]

So! You want the Badge of Courage,
dear knight of the kingdom?
Well come and take it...if you can!!!

En guarde!

GRAAAACK...!
How dare you pick on a helpless
amphibian!
Filthy medal!
I won't forget this!

GLENN: Aaah!
CYRUS: Beware Glenn!!
GLENN: Cyrus!
The sword...
The Masamune!
OZZIE: Gyah ha ha...
Is THAT the best you can do?!
Without your sword, you're nothing!
CYRUS: Arrgh!
You haven't beaten me yet!
GLENN: C, Cyrus...
I'm a g...goner.
CYRUS: Glenn, escape while I keep them
at bay.
GLENN: B, but...!
CYRUS: If you stay, they'll get us both.
Go on, Glenn!
Magus: You'd better worry more
about yourself, Cyrus!
CYRUS: Come on, Glenn!
GO!!
CYRUS: Aaahhh...!
GLENN: C, Cyrus!
CYRUS: R...run...Glenn...
The Queen.
Take care...of...Leene...
.........
GLENN: C, Cyrus!?
Cyruuus!!
Magus: Harumph!
What's the matter?
Aren't you going to try your luck?
GLENN: Err...!
OZZIE: Gyah, ha ha...
Cat got your tongue kid?
OZZIE: How about it, Magus?
Can't you give him a more fitting
form?
Magus: All right, why not?
There's always time for a little fun.
GLENN: !!
GLENN: A...augh!!
GLENN: Aaaaack!
OZZIE: Gyah ha ha...!
You spineless wimp!
[Cursed Woods, 600 A.D.]
Frog: 10 years hath passed...
Can I do it?
I've changed so much.
Alas, poor Cyrus...!
Frog: Awaketh, Crono.
Frog: Though we may fail...
...let us go to Magus's lair.
Frog: Thou knowest his power?
Lucca: Nothing can beat science!
Marle: We won't be beaten by a
bad guy!
Robo: We must do it to save our
future!

MOM: Dear me...!
Crono!
How many times have I told you to
keep your pets outside!!
Frog: M, madam...!
I am NOT a pet!
Though I am...odd of figure, I am a

MOM: It TALKS...
