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?
         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.

                    Stole a Tonic!


 [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.

   A memo is attached to it.

   What's going on?!

Lucca: Marle!

   Let's go!

Marle: Phew!

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.

   My husband...he's...he's...gone...

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

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!

Marle: Robo!
   Crono, Robo's getting

Robo: No, stop!
   These are my brothers!

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
   intruders...


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!

OLD MAN: Come see me anytime.
   Think of me as your guide.


Marle: Take me too!!
      Yes.
      No.

Marle: OKAY!

Marle: Aw, come on!

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.

 [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.

 [System]
   Go to «Guardia Forest»
   1000 A.D.?
         Yes.
         No.

 [System]
   Go to «Bangor Dome»
   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?
         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]
   Crono!

Woman: You strong.
   What name?

Lucca: I think she likes you,
   Crono...

Ayla: You strong too.
   Ayla respect strong people.
   Men and women.

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.
   Dance! Eat!

Marle: Thank you but we can't.
   We're looking for a Dreamstone.

Lucca: We'd love to go, but we've
   got to look for the Dreamstone now.


Ayla: Stone?
   Plenty stones!
   Here, there, at village.
   You take plenty.

Lucca: Buurp!

Lucca: Hey? You're not a wimp, are

   Don't know where village is.
   Always hide.

   Azala want to destroy Ioka AND

   Only when Ayla dead, give up!


Ayla: Enough.

Lucca: Phew...

   Liar!
   I was a perfect lady last night!
   But why does my tummy hurt so...?

Robo: G...good morning.
   That soup seems to affect humans.


Marle: Wh...who made these
   footprints?!

Lucca: Hey!
   Who made these footprints?!

Marle: It, it's gone!

Lucca: It's gone!

Marle: Oh no!
   The Gate Key is gone!

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!

Robo: It's too risky to use the Gate
   without it.

Marle: Crono!
   Let's go find Ayla!

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


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

   Hmm.
   You're nothing like Ayla...

   Tell Azala about the key?
         Yes.
         No.

AZALA: Liars!

   You strong too!

 [Woman]
   Admire Crono!
   Strong!

 [Man]
   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.


 [Frog's Flashback, Guardia Castle, 590 A.D.]

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.]

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

CYRUS: Prepare yourself, polywog!
   En guarde!

   Nirvana Strike!

 [Frog King]
   GRAAAACK...!
   How dare you pick on a helpless
   amphibian!

   Filthy medal!
   I won't forget this!


 [Frog's Flashback, Denadoro Mts, 590 A.D.]

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
   master swordsman!

MOM: It TALKS...
