| NOTATION EXPLANATIONS |
|
| [1], [2], [3],...        Used to show interchangable speech, in which
|                          one line is said by whoever's in one party
|                          member. Different party combinations needed
|                          to get some of the dialogue, so, in essence,
|                          the bracketed numbers represent the possible
|                          reactions to a given action. Because, say,
|                          one person is listed multiple times does not
|                          mean they have speech there repeatedly -- it
|                          all depends on the order and the characters.
|
| [*]                      An asterisk by someone's name means they 
|                          will say text if they are present. It's not
|                          the same as above in that the asterisk'd
|                          parts represent speech that will _always_
|                          occur when present, as opposed to the varied
|                          party lineups that are needed to get the
|                          above.
|
| NOTE: Some people just simply don't have dialogue on some options,
|       either because it's out of character (Magus never seems to say
|       anything in sappy thank-you scenes, for instance) or because
|       they weren't involved with an aspect/didn't experience a part
|       of the game that would elicit a response from them. Ayla and
|       Frog, being of the olden days, sometimes lack dialogue in this
|       respect.

 \___/  |_|  |________________________________________________________|

[Fireworks and balloons come from the nearby fairgrounds. The main
character is asleep in his room nearby, and is woken up by his mother.]

Mom: "Crono... Crono! Good morning, Crono! Come on, sleepyhead! Get up!
     Ah, Leene's Bell makes such beautiful music! You were so excited
     about the Millennial Fair that you didn't sleep well, did you...?
     I want you to behave yourself today! Let's get moving, now!"

[Crono follows his mother downstairs after waking up.]

Mom: "Finally! By the way, that inventor friend of yours... Uh...you
     know! Oh, dear, I've forgotten her name!"

[Crono can name his inventor friend, default: Lucca.]

Mom: "That's right, Lucca! Don't forget that she invited you to see
     her new invention! Run along now, and be back before dinner."

[Crono leaves his house and heads to the festivities at Leene Square.
He bumps into a girl there.]

Girl: "Hey!! Ouch, that hurt! I'm so sorry! Are you okay? Uh oh... My
      pendant!"

[Crono recovers it for her.]

Girl: "Oh, thank goodness! My pendant! It has a lot of sentimental
      value! May I have it back?"
      R1 --> Yes.
      R2 --> No.

      R1: [See below.]
      R2: [Crono withholds it.]

[He hands the pendant over.]

Girl: "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?
      R1 --> Sure.
      R2 --> Sorry.

      R1: "You're a true gentleman! Oh, by the way... My name is,
          er..." [Default: Marle] "...um, Marle! And you're? Crono?
          What a nice name! Pleased to meet you! Now, lead on!"
      R2: "Oh, come on! I don't know anyone around here! Please!"
          R3 --> Ok.
          R4 --> No.
      R3: [Same as R1.]
      R4: [She repeats R2.]

[Crono and Marle play some games and booths for awhile. They go to
Lucca's lot after awhile, but Marle drags Crono to a candy vendor.]

Marle: "Hold your horses! I want to get some candy. Hi! I'd like some
       of this!"

Lady: "Sure, young lady."

Marle: "Thanks for waiting!"

[They go to see Luca's invention. She's there with her father and a
few spectators.]

Taban: "Step right on up, any of you who have the time and the courage!
       Our 'Super Dimensional Warp' is the invention of the century! To
       use it, jump up here... ...and you'll get teleported here! It's
       the masterwork of my beautiful daughter, Lucca."

[Crono goes to Lucca.]

Lucca: "Crono! Where have you been!? No one wants to try the Telepod!
       How about you?"

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

Lucca: "Just hop onto the left pod!"

[Crono does.]

Taban: "All systems on!"

Lucca: "Begin energy transfer!"

[Crono warps to the right pod.]

All: "Oh wow. That was GREAT!"

Marle: "What a kick! I want to try it, too!"

Lucca: "Huh? 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! All systems on!"

Lucca: "Begin energy transfer!"

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

Lucca: "Huh?

[Marle's pendant reacts with the machine and she disappears into some
kind of time warp, disappearing before everyone's eyes.]

Taban: "Lucca! Where is she?! Show's over, folks! Let's head along
       now!"

[The spectators leave.]

Taban: "What's going on Lucca? WHERE IS SHE?"

Lucca: "The way she disappeared... It couldn't have been the Telepod! 
       The warp field seems 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..."

[Crono picks up the pendant on the left pod.]

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!"

Taban: "All systems on!"

Lucca: "Begin energy transfer! Power to full!"

Taban: "Roger!"

Lucca: "More! Give me more power!"

Taban: "Roger!"

Lucca: "There! We did it!"

[Crono gets sucked into the warp, but not before Lucca says--]

Lucca: "I'll follow you after I know what went wrong. Good luck, 
       Crono!"

[Crono disappears.]

[Crono lands in Truce Canyon after the time warp and heads to the large
castle nearby via Guardia Forest. He's immediately accosted by guards.]

Soldier: "Halt! Who goes there! Check out that hair! Where're you
         from, son? Are you one of Magus's troopers?"

Soldier 2: "Hardly! That kid never would have made the cut! Show us
           your stamp collection, son! Har, har! Now beat it, shrimp!"

Voice: "Stop that at once!"

Soldier: "Queen Leene!"

[The queen appears.]

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..."

[Crono runs to the queen's chambers, blocked by a guard.]

Guard: "The Queen awaits."

[Crono enters.]

Queen: "Ah! There you are. Please leave us. I need to talk to this
       individual."

Attendants: "Certainly, your Highness."

[The attendants leave.]

Queen: "Come nearer, Sir. Giggle... Fooled you, didn't I, Crono? It's
       me! But everyone calls me, Leene! I'm so relieved you're here!
       We barely know each other, but somehow, I knew you'd come for
       me... Thank you, Crono! S, something's wrong!!!"

[Crono looks around.]

Marle: "W, what's happening?! It feels like...I'm being torn apart!
       Help me, Crono! I'm scared!!! Please...Crono...h, help me!"

[Marle disappears and Crono heads downstairs. Just then--]

Voice: "Crono!"

[Lucca appears.]

Lucca: "Huff, puff...you're okay! Did you find the girl? GONE?! 
       Whaddaya mean she's gone?! Hmm...it's just as I thought. I knew
       I recognized her! And this looks identical to the castle in OUR
       time! I'll bet they mistook that girl for her ancestor... You
       see, she's a member of the royal family in OUR time! She's
       Princess Nadia! 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! Something must have happened to the
       Queen in this era. As a result, Princess Nadia ceases to exist!
       Hurry! We have to find the real Queen!"

[Lucca joins up, and they head to the closest place to begin their
search...]

[Lucca and Crono search the cathedral and find something shining on
the ground towards the front.]

Lucca: "What did you find? A hair pin. That's Guardia's royal crest!"

[The nuns change into Naga-Ettes and attack, but get repelled.]

Lucca: "Phew! That was close!"

[Another Naga-Ette appears behind Lucca and pushes her down.]

Lucca: "Aack!"

[A frog-man descends and cuts it down.]

Man: "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!"

Man: "My guise doth not incur thy trust... Very well, do as thee
     please. But I shall save the Queen."

Lucca: "W, wait! You don't seem like a bad... ...uh, person-frog-
       -thing... I mean... Crono! What should we do?"
       R1 --> Go with the frog.
       R2 --> Refuse.

       R1: [See below.]
       R2: "It might be risky going alone..." [She re-asks question]

[After choosing to accompany the frog-man:]

Lucca: "I'll just have to handle it! I mean...deal with...him! What's 
       your name?"

[Default name for him is 'Frog.']

Frog: "Frog will do."

Lucca: "All right... Nice to meet you Frog."

Frog: "Mayhap a hidden door lurks nigh? Let us search the environs."

[Crono goes to the organ. Playing it opens a hidden door. The party
progresses until a voice yells:]

Voice: "Stop! Intruders! Gack!!!"

[Some monsters gang up on the party, but the party fights past them.
At the end of the dungeon is a well-lit room. The three stumble upon
someone talking to the Queen.]

Voice: "Prepare yourself, Queen Leene."

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! Stupid frog! It's time you jumped off this
            mortal coil! True-form...CHANGE!"

[The fake Chancellor morphs into Yakra.]

Narrative: Reverts to Yakra!!

[The party reverts Yakra to dust.]

Leene: "You came to rescue me! Thank you Frog."

Frog: "The King awaits. Let us return to the castle. I thank thee
      Crono, and Lucca."

Leene: "Yes, thank you so much. Please join us. Let's return to the
       castle!"

[If you didn't open the left chest:]

Real Chancellor: "W, wait!! What about me?"

[He'll run after them.]

[The newly-found Queen and her rescuers stand before the king.]

King Guardia: "You had me worried, Leene."

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."

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

Leene: "Frog!"

[Frog bows and leaves. Crono and Lucca chase after him.]

Frog: "'Twas a fault of mine, which endangered the Queen. I shall 
      depart for good. Crono, you hath potential to be a good
      swordsman!"

[Frog leaves the castle.]

Lucca: "... Froggy, you weren't such a bad guy either."

[After Frog exits, Lucca and Crono rush up to the queen's bedchambers.
Marle reappears.]

Marle: "Huh? What happened?"

Lucca: "Princess Nadia!"

Marle: "Crono! 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... I guess you guys figured it out, huh? Sorry, Crono. I
       didn't mean to decieve you. 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... Crono, you wouldn't have
       shown me around the fair, right?
       R1 --> Right.
       R2 --> Wrong!

       R1: "See? I like Marle better than 'Princess,' anyway! The real
           Queen's safe, right? So let's go home, Crono!"
       R2: "Oh, Crono! That's why I like you! The real Queen's safe,
           right? So let's go home, Crono!"

[The party returns to Truce Canyon once Marle is saved.]

Marle: "How do we get home?"

Lucca: "Your Highness, er, Princess...we..."

Marle: "Please call me Marle!"

Lucca: "Well then, Marle... Observe!"

[Lucca takes out an object and a warp gate opens.]

Marle: "Wow! Lucca! You're amazing!"

Lucca: "Ain't it the truth! 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... 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 principle
       behind my Telepod device... ...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?"

[They all jump in the gate and arrive back at the fair.]

Marle: "Phew! We're back! 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."

[Lucca splits.]

Marle: "See you soon, Lucca! Will you escort me home, Crono?"

[The party walks into the castle.]

Voice: "Princess Nadia!"

[The Chancellor scoots down the stairs.]

Chancellor: "Are you all right? Where have you been?! I heard you were
            abducted! We had soldiers searching for you! 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!"

[Soldiers flood into the room.]

Marle: "Stop this at once!!"

[The soldiers kneel obediantly.]

Chancellor: "What are you doing!"

Soldier: "But Princess Nadia said to..."

Chancellor: "Idiots! Detain him!!"

[They clobber Crono and knock him out.]

Marle: "Crono!!"

[Later on, a court session is set.]

Chancellor: "I'm the Chancellor, the prosecutor!"

Pierre: "I'm the lawyer, Pierre."

Chancellor: "Members of the court. We now bring forth the defendant,
            Crono, who is charged with abducting Princess Nadia."

[Crono is brought in.]

Chancellor: "What shall we do with him? Fire, perhaps? Hang him upside
            down for a few years? Or...shall we employ the guillotine?
            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! 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?"
            R1 --> I did.
            R2 --> Marle did.

            R1: "Just as I suspected! The defendant deliberately tried
                to get near the Princess!"
            R2: "Are you sure? We have witnesses who'll say YOU were
                the one who bumped into the princess."

[The scene where the two bumped into each other at the fair is shown.]

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! 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."

[If Crono returned the girl's cat:]

Pierre: "We have a little girl who will vouch for the character of 
        the defendant."

[A little girl comes in.]

Girl: "This nice man... He brought me my kitty. Thank you for being so
      kind!"

[The girl leaves.]

Pierre: "How about that? Doesn't this young man deserve a medal?
        Whew... Looks like they're buying it. The issue here is MOTIVE.
        Was there any motive for this fine citizen to kidnap Princess
        Nadia? No! There was none."

[If Crono stole the old man's lunch, the Chancellor will ask instead
of the girl/cat scene:]

Chancellor: "Have you stolen anything?"
            R1 --> Well...yes.
            R2 --> No! I've never been a thief.

            R1: "See! He lacks morals! This should be on the record!
                He's crying out for help!"

            R2: "DO NOT feign ignorance! We have a witness."

[The old man comes in.]

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?"
            R1 --> No.
            R2 --> Yes.

            R1: "Are you sure? You really weren't tempted?"
                R3 --> Not at all.
                R4 --> Just a bit.
            R2: "So, you admit it! Nothing more your honor. The
                prosecution rests."
            R3: "That's enough. I have no more questions."
                -OR-
                "Please keep in mind that he just said he had NO
                interest in her fortune. Witness please!"

                [A woman comes in.]

                "He can't fool me, I saw him with my own eyes!
                Dear me! I'm so nervous! That man grabbed the
                pendant even before he checked to see if the
                Princess was okay! He tried to sell it to the
                merchant, Melchoir."

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

                Woman: "I heard it clearly. I heard her cry out
                       with my own ears!"

                [If Crono moved around while Marle picked out
                candy, the part where she called him a kidnapper
                will be shown.]

                Woman: "Is that it? Can I go?!"

                Chancellor: "Nothing more your honor. The 
                            prosecution rests."
            R4: "Nothing more your honor. The prosecution rests."

Pierre: "It is evident that my client is a fine, noble young man! 
        Your honor, the defense rests."

Judge: "Members of the jury... If he is guilty, stand to the left. If
       he is innocent, stand to the right."

[The jury walks in, saying 'Not guilty.' or 'Guilty.' If the jury is
predominantly 'innocent':]

Judge: "Order in the court! A verdict has been reached! The verdict
       is...not guilty! But the fact remains that even if he did not
       kidnap her, he ran off with her. 3 days in solitary confinement
       as punishment."

[If the jury is predominantly '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!"

Chancellor: "Take him away!"

[Marle runs in.]

Marle: "Now just a darn minute..."

Chancellor: "Princess!"

[King Guardia XXXIII walks in.]

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. We're leaving!"

[Crono is dragged away by some bailiffs.]

Marle: "Crono!!!"

[Crono is led to a darkly-lit prison tower. They enter a room with a
man and a desk.]

Chancellor: "This terrorist has tried to overthrow our kingdom! 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!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------
[If Crono was found innocent:]
Supervisor: "Execution?! Strange, but I don't seem to remember 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! Guards! Take this prisoner away!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Supervisor: "Yes Sir! Guards! Take the prisoner away!"

[Crono wakes up behind bars after a guard knocks him out. He shakes the
door in protest. Crono does it thrice, the guard saying each time:]

Guard: "Pipe down!"
Guard: "Pipe down!"
Guard: "Knock it off! Ooh! I'll show him. Open it up!"

[The guard opens the door and knocks Crono against the wall. ]

Guard: "That's what you get for misbehaving."

[Crono railroads him with his sword, knocking him out.]

Guard 2: "Where do you think you're going?!"

[Crono breezes past the guard and runs out onto a walkway.]

Guard: "The prisoner's escaping!"

[Crono slays the guards and continues, finding another guard.]

Guard: "What are you up to?!"

[Another guard appears after Crono makes his way up.]

Guard: "The prisoner's escaping!"

[Finally, Crono makes it to the supervisor's room.]

Supervisor: "H...Help!!!"

[He tries to flee, but runs into Lucca on the stairwell, and she knocks
him out with ease.]

Lucca: "Crono! I've come to save you! Gee, it looks like you didn't
       need my help, after all! Let's blow this joint!"

[The two run to the last walkway when an odd shaking is heard.]

Lucca: "What was that?"

[A Dragon Tank appears.]

Chancellor: "Forward, Dragon Tank! Crush those rebels!"

[Crono and Lucca crush it instead. Crono deals a finishing stab.]

Chancellor: "They got the Dragon Tank!! Fix it! Quickly!"

[The Chancellor and his two cohorts attempt to fix it, but the bridge
falls and they barely cling onto each other, forming a body bridge.
Crono and Lucca walk right over them.]

Chancellor: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you've gotten away with
            this!"

[Crono and Lucca run downstairs

Soldier: "They're escaping!"
Lucca: "We have no choice but to break through!"

[The two run through the mobs of soldiers--]

Soldier: "They're escaping!"

[--and run to the castle door.]

Voice: "Stop!"

Soldier: "Princess Nadia!"

[Marle appears in a fancy gown.]

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

Soldier: "B, but..."

Marle: "Can't you take orders?"

Soldier: "Of course!"

Voice: "Hold it right there!"

[The chancellor appears.]

Chancellor: "Do as King Guardia XXXIII says!"

[The king appears.]

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!"

[Marle changes into her normal clothes.]

Chancellor: "Princess Nadia!"

Marle: "Come on, Crono!!"

[The three leave.]

Chancellor: "Don't just stand there! After them!"

[The soldiers give chase.]

King: "Princess Nadia..."

[The guards chase them to Guardia Forest.]

Soldier: "There they are! Don't lose 'em!!! There's no escape!"

[The soldiers block the path out, so the party runs to a dead end. A
time gate is there.]

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!"

[The chancellor and the soldiers run into the screen.]

Lucca: "This is completely irrational."

Marle: "Hurry, Crono!"

[The party jumps into the gate and vanishes into thin air.]

Chancellor: "They...disappeared!!"

 \___/  |_|  |________________________________________________________|

[The party finds some crestfallen people in the dome.]

Old Man: "You there, where're you from?"

Lucca: "We come from the laboratories to the west."

Old Man: "W, what?! Hey, we've got people who crossed the ruins!"

Man: "Say again?! You're joking!?"

Old Man: "So there ARE people who can beat up those freaky mutants..."

[The old man (addressed as Doan) talks to the party when they come by
a ladder heading below the metal structure.]

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 people for a change.
      Careful, now. And come back alive."

[The three go down and head for the stock room. An alarm triggers and
a large robotic sentinel descends.]

Enemy: "Executing program..."

Marle: "Crono! What's going on?!"

Lucca: "Marle! Let's go!"

[The party defeats the Guardian and heads into the stock room. A man
is there against the wall.]

Marle: "Phew! Something reeks!"

Lucca: "Everything's completely rotten. The refrigeration must have
       failed..."

Marle: "Crono, look!! ... ... Passed away long ago, I suppose... He's
       holding something. What do you suppose this is?"

[They all go over to the corpse.]

Lucca: "It looks like some kind of seed."

Marle: "A seed? Do you suppose it could grow in a place like this?"

[On the way back, the rat statue they had seen was relocated and now
moving around.]

Marle: "There! There it is!"

Lucca: "Shhh! It might run away."

Narrative: Dash with the O button, catch him with the X button!"

[Crono catches it.]

Narrative: Got it!

Rat: "Squeak!! I give up. I'll tell you everything, Squeak. Press and
     hold the L1 & R1 buttons and then press X button to access the
     secret passage, squeak. Don't make any mistakes or you'll be
     sorry!"

[The party goes into the secret passage and finds computer monitors.]

Lucca: "So this is the info center! Good! The computer's still
       operational! If we run a search on time warps, we might find
       our Gate! Here! Got it! East of Arris Dome... That would be
       Proto Dome, I believe."

Marle: "Leave it to Lucca! I'm beginning to think you could find
       anything with this device! Say, what does this button do?"

[Something comes up on the monitor.]

Lucca: "1999 A.D.? Visual record of The Day of Lavos..."

[It shows the world in 1999 A.D. Something breaks through the crust
of the planet and rains destruction down on everything.]

Marle: "Wh, what...IS that?"

Lucca: "Lavos? Is that what's destroying our world?!"

Marle: "We must truly be in the future... No! NO WAY! I refuse to
       believe it!! This... ...This can't be the way the world ends..."

Lucca: "......"

Marle: "Crono... There's only one thing we can do! We must change
       history! Just like Crono did when he saved me! Okay, Lucca?
       Okay, Crono?!!"

Lucca: "I...guess so... It was a stroke of luck that we were sent here
       through that Gate. Crono, let's go!"
       R1 --> Okay!
       R2 --> No...

       R1: [Skip to Marle's next line.]
       R2: "...... 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! Next stop, Proto Dome!"

[The party runs back up the ladder they used to descend.]

Doan: "You're back! 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... Heading for Proto Dome? Go by
      way of Laboratory 32, and take this with ya." [Obtain: Bike Key]
      "It's a key to the Jet Bike in Lab 32. I used to ride it when I
      was young. Hope it still works... They've got more powerful 
      robots over there. Take care, and stay...healthy!"

[The party leaves Doan's group and heads to the laboratory nearby.]

[The party finds the Jet Bike right where Doan said it would be, but a
few robots flood in when they try to start it up.]

Voice: "Hold it right there!"

[A robot that can change into a motorcycle rolls in.]

Robots: "Hey it's...! ...the MAN!"

The Man: "Like, thanks for the intro, babe!"

Robots: "...the MAN!"

The Man: "You lowlifes can call me Johnny. Now listen up. Part of an
         old highway leads through these ruins. Think you can beat me
         in a bike race? Use that 'Jet Bike' and...don't chicken out,
         babe! ... Do you know how to ride?"
         R1 --> Yes.
         R2 --> No.

         R1: [Nothing is said.]
         R2: "All right, listen up. The gas is on auto, so there's only
             one speed...FAST! Use the controller to steer. Press the O
             button for a Turbo Boost. I'll give you 3 of them, but it
             takes a moment to recharge between boosts! Check your 
             position at the bottom of the screen. Now show me what you
             got, babe!"

[Crono finishes the bike race in the lead.]

Johnny: "YOU beat me? I don't get it! You can challenge me anytime.
        We'll ride like the wind, babe!"

[Putting the highway ruins behind them, everyone heads to Proto Dome.]

[At the back of the first room, the party finds a nonfunctional robot.]

Marle: "Wh, what's this?"

[A video plays where the the three find the robot. Lucca fishes out a
screwdriver and beams.]

Lucca: "It's in bad shape... ...but it appears to be a humanoid robot!
       Incredible! ... 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 fixes the robot up after awhile.]

Marle: "The door won't budge."

Lucca: "Right, that does it! I'm going to give it some juice!"

[The robot clamors to life.]

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 R-66Y."

Lucca: "R-66Y? Cool!"

Marle: "No! That won't do at all! Come on Crono, let's give him a
       better name!"

[The robot's default name is...Robo.]

Marle: "Robo... Robo...that's perfect! 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? There WERE many humans and
      others of my kind in this dome."

Lucca: "I think something awful happened here..."

Robo: "......It would appear so... 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 inspects the door.]

Robo: "The power is off. 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: "Your 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."

Narrative: "Who will stay behind?"
           R1 --> Marle
           R2 --> Lucca

           R1 (Marle): "Okay. Please be careful, Crono!"
           R2 (Lucca): "Right! I'll handle things here!"

[With their new robot friend with, the party of three heads to the
northern factory.]

[Once in, Robo goes to a machine panel.]

Robo: "Override Security System 00."

[With the security taken out, Robo finds a panel on the lower level.]

Robo: "All systems down. Defense lasers are off.'

[On the third level, the party comes to another monitor.]

Computer: Door lock system "Zabie" operational. Enter password.

[The party enters the password and turns on the generator. An alarm
goes off.]

Robo: "Emergency! Security system has gone haywire! Must escape
      immediately!"

[Divisions on the corridor start to close. Robo stays one from closing
on them.]

Robo: "Hurry! Now!!!"

[Everyone gets through safely. On the way back, the party encounters
several blue robots being deployed, all who look like Robo.]

Robo: "Th...these are my friends! R-64Y, R-67Y, and R-69Y! Good to see
      you!"

[One of the robots punches Robo.]

Robo: "Wh, what are you doing?!"

R-64Y: "You are defective."

R-67Y: "You have been tainted."

Robo: "Pardon? I'm...malfunctioning?"

R-64Y: "Affirmative."

Robo: "A defect...I'm a defect..."

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

Robo: "THAT was my purpose?"

R-64Y: "You shame us! You must be destroyed."

[The robots start to beat up Robo.]

[1] Lucca: "Wh, what are you doing!"
[2] Marle: "Robo! Crono, Robo's getting whipped!"

Robo: "Please stop. Pl...ease..."

[They shove the broken Robo into a compartment.]

[1] Lucca: "Robo!"
[2] Marle: "Robo!"

R-64Y: "Now to take care of the intruders..."

[1] Lucca: "No! Let's take care of YOU!"
[2] Marle: "You cocky boxes of bolts! You'll never get away with this!"

[The party defeats the R-Series robots. Lucca retrieves Robo.]

[1] Lucca: "Robo! They trashed him! He's in bad shape... I'm not sure
           I can fix him. Let's get him back to Proto Dome for now..."
[2] Marle: "Robo! They trashed him! Wahh...! What should we do?! Robo
           just got creamed! Crono, let's take him back to Lucca!"

[Crono and his companion get Robo back to Proto Dome.]

[Lucca works while the others rest.]

Robo: "C...can your...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!"

[The next morning, Robo's as good as new.]

Robo: "Good morning."

Marle: "Robo! You're all right!! 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!!"

[In the room beyond:]

Lucca: "Hang on to your shorts!"

[The four friends jump into the Gate, this time ending up in an odd
place that doesn't look like anywhere they've been before...]

[A walkway floats in empty space. The party arrives all right.]

Robo: "Where are we?"

[They wake up an old man snoozing nearby.]

Old Man: "Ah, more guests...!"

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?"

[Crono chooses who'll stay behind. S/he will say:]

[1] Robo: "Please come for me whenever you need me."
[2] Marle: "See you around."
[3] Lucca: "Now don't you go getting any ideas, mister!"

Old Man: "...So there you have it. Don't forget. Press the [] button
         to switch party members."

Marle: "How do we get back to our own 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 X button. But beware the Gate
         which leads from that bucket..."

[The party starts to leave.]

Old Man: "Hey. Don't be in such a rush! Before you go, take a peek 
         inside that room behind me!"

[They go into the room and find a creature.]

Creature: "What're you lookin' at? I'm Spekkio. The Master of War! 
          I've seen all kinds of battles from here. How do I look to
          you guys?"
          R1 --> Strong!
          R2 --> Weak!

          R1: "I see. Let's put it this way. If you're strong, I look
              strong. If you're weak, I look weak. 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."
          R2: [Same as R1]

[He looks at Crono:]

Spekkio: "You, with the punk hairdo! You're 'Lightning.'"

[If Lucca's with:]

Spekkio: "The one with goofy glasses is 'Fire.'"

[If Marle's with:]

Spekkio: "The one with the ponytail is 'Water.'

[If Robo's with:]

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 continues.]

Spekkio: "Not just magic, but EVERYTHING is based on the balance of 
         these 4 powers. Think 'MAGIC', and, starting from the door, 
         walk clockwise along the walls of my room 3 times. Don't lose 
         track, now."

[Crono's crew walks clockwise.]

Spekkio: "Very good! Ipso facto, meeny moe...MAGICO! So! Fortified
         with magic! Wanna try it out?"
         R1 --> Yes.
         R2 --> No.

         R1: "All right!" [They fight Spekkio.]
         R2: "You guys are too much! Bring newcomes to meet me!"

[They leave Spekkio's room.]

Old Man: "Hey. 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!"

sending them to Medina Village.]

a family's cabinet. They start to leave.]

Imp: "Wait a sec. 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..."

Imp 2: "There's an odd man who lives near the cave in the mountains
       to the west. You might enjoy a chat with him."

[1] Robo: "Thank you for your help. But why are you being so kind? The
          Mystics supposedly despised humans."
[2] Marle: "Thanks! Why are you being so nice? Mystics aren't supposed
           to get along with humans."
[3] Lucca: "Thanks a lot! Say. We were told that Mystics hate humans.
           Why are you being so kind?"

Imp: "Humans fought the Mystics over 400 years ago. My motto is
     'forgive and forget,' but not many seem to agree with me."

[The party heads west to the odd man's house (Melchoir's Hut).]

Melchoir: "Ah, hello! Could I interest you in a weapon?"
          R1 --> Yes, I'd like to buy one.
          R2 --> No, I'm not interested.

          R1: [Weapon inventory is shown. After browsing/buying:]
              "Weapons... If there weren't evil in this world, there
              would be no need for weapons. What a sad state of
              affairs..."
          R2: "Really? Well, you know where to find me should the need
              arise."

Melchoir: "Should you desire to return to Truce Village, use the
          shortcut through the in the mountains to the north.

Henches: "Death to the Mystics' enemies!"

[The Hench pair falls easily. At the back of the cave, a voice yells:]

Voice: "Death to the Mystics' enemies!"

[The Heckran attacks but is felled with some tough magicking.]

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: "If we go to the Middle Ages and take out Magus, can we 
          change history?"

Lucca: "We could use the Gate at the Fairgrounds!"

      guys. Take it, will ya." [Obtain: Power Tab] "And tell that
      fool... He had better come back alive!"

[Crono and company return to Zenan Bridge with the Jerky.]

Knight Captain: "Sir Crono! Is that for us?"
                R1 --> Yes.
                R2 --> No.
 
                R1: "Food rations! The cook...he has saved us all! Sir
                    Crono, if I do not make it back... ...give my 
                    brother my thanks..."
                R2: "Magus's army has the advantage now. Keep back!"

[An odd noise comes from further down the bridge (after R1):]

Knight Captain: "WHAT is going on here?!"

[A soldier retreats back.]

Soldier: "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!"

Soldier: "But, we are far outnumbered!"

Knight Captain: "This is our last line of defense. We must let no one
                through!"

Soldier: "Understood!"

[Crono heads west down the bridge and sees the soldiers massacred by
some skeletons. A big, green Mystic walks down to them.]

Ozzie: "I'm Ozzie, Magus's top general! Those who defy Magus have to
       answer to me! Yes my children... Give 'em a taste of doom!"

[The skeletons get killed and Ozzie's in everyone's sights.]

Ozzie: "Those wimps're stronger than I thought."

[Ozzie flees.]

[1] Robo: "We've got him."
[2] Marle: "Wait up, already!"
[3] Lucca: "He's pretty swift when it comes to running away."

[They meet him at the bridge's midsection.]

Ozzie: "Seems like I misjudged you. But I won't do that twice! Grrrr!
       You're through!"

[He sics some skeletons on them, but they don't make a dent.]

Ozzie: "Drat!"

[They chase Ozzie to the south end of the bridge.]

Ozzie: "That's IT! Now you're finished!"

[1] Robo: "You cannot win. You had best surrender."
[2] Marle: "Don't mess with Crono, or you'll really be sorry!"
[3] Lucca: "Poor sport, huh?"

[Ozzie makes a bunch of skeletons band together and form Zombone.]

Ozzie: "Go Zombor! Crush Sir Magus's enemies!"

[The party defeats Zombor and heads to enlist Frog.]

[In the Cursed Woods, they find an underground home.]

Voice: "Who's there!?"

[Frog drops down from the ceiling.]

Frog: "'Tis thee, Crono! Thou art here to practice thy skill in
      swordplay? What?! The King hast been injured? ...... I see... 
      'Tis nary a thing I canst do... Please be on thy way."

[The party heads to the Denadoro Mountains and barely misses running
into a kid running back.]

Voice: "Aaagh!"

[A goblin meant for the boy attacks the party.]

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

[In the back of a cavern, the party finds a sword. A kid walking
around yells at them.]

Kid: "Stop! Are you here for the Masamune?"
     R1 --> Yes.
     R2 --> No.

     R1: "Thought so... Wait a second, okay? Oh big broooother... 
         Where are you, Masa?!"
     R2: "You're not? Then you should leave quickly."
     
[Masa, another boy, appears from behind/in the sword (on R1).]

Masa: "What is it, Mune? Not again!? 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!!! Whoosh!"

[The two kids change forms and attack. One of them gets defeated.]

Mune: "Hey they're pretty though."

Masa: "Only Cyrus made it this far."

Mune: "What should we do?"

Masa: "This time it's for real!"

Mune: "All right, this is it..."

Masa: "Yeah. We mean business!"

Narrative: With Masa's bravery and... ...Mune's knowledge! Two become
           one!!

[They change into a big, muscle monster but get defeated again.]

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."

[The two kids walk into the sword, and Crono gets the Masamune's hilt-
-less blade.]

[1] Robo: "So! The Masamune is not just a myth... But it has been long
          broken."
[2] Lucca: "So this is the Masamune... But it looks like it has been
           broken for ages."

Narrative: You got the broken Masamune!

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

Mune: "Good luck to you."

[The wind current takes the party back to the mountain base, and they
head back to the house of the kid who fled the mountain.]

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!"

[The party leaves and heads back to Frog's House.]

Frog: "Thee hath returned? Th, the Hero Medal! Aye... Then thou hast
      seen the lad. Yet there's nary a thing I canst do against Magus.
      The legendary Masamune is required to fight Magus. And I've no
      right to wield it. Please leave now..."

[The party sees a shiny piece of metal in basket. They fish it out. If
Lucca and Robo are with:]

Lucca: "A broken sword... It's part of the Masamune!"

Robo: "Something is written in archaic script. I will translate...
      ...... R...o...i...h...c...l...e...m? Roihclem? System error! I
      reversed it! It says 'Melchoir'!

Lucca: "'Melchoir'?! That guy in Medina Village?"

[If Marle is with, the conversation will go like so:]

[1] Lucca: "A broken sword... It's part of the Masamune! It's engraved
           with archaic letters. I think I can read it. Um...mm...
           ...M...e...l...c...h...o...i...r!
[2] Robo: "A broken sword... A part of the Masamune! Something is 
          written in archaic script. I will translate... ......
          R...o...i...h...c...l...e...m? Roihclem? System error! I
          reversed it! It says 'Melchoir'!"

Marle: "Melchoir? That guy in Medina Village? What does this mean,
       Crono?"

[Melchoir's in Medina Village in a different age, so they head back
to see if the Masamune is repairable.]

[The party enters the swordsmith's house.]

Melchoir: "You're back again? Come to see my collection? Th, this
          sword...it's the Masamune! How did you get it?"

[1] Lucca: "Why would your name be engraved on the sword?"
[2] Marle: "Why would YOUR name be on that sword?"

Melchoir: "... It's a...long story. You do want to hear this story,
          right?"

[1] Marle: "Yes! Tell us about the Masamune! Can you fix it somehow?"
[2] Lucca: "Of course! Tell us about the Masamune! Is it possible to 
           reforge it?"

Melchoir: "Hmmmm... It might be possible if we could get our hands on
          some Dreamstone, which the sword is made of."

[1] Robo: "Dreamstone...? No data in my memory banks of such a rock."
[2] Marle: "Dreamstone? Where can we get that?"

Melchoir: "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."

[The party finds out that Dreamstone is from a prehistoric age at the
End of Time, so they head to the Mystic Mountain Gate.]

[The party warps to the mountain and falls out of the air to the bottom
of the cliff. A multitude of reptilian creatures are running around.
The two party members with will say (out of the following):]

[*] Lucca: "They're all green and scaly!"
[*] Marle: "Wh...what are those?"
[*] Robo: "Half human, half dinosaur... An unlikely life form."

[The party beats up 'em up, but more come.]

[*] Lucca: "We're outnumbered!"
[*] Marle: "What should we do, Crono?!"

[A video plays where a woman with a club starts to beat them up, and
then leads them away, while leaving everyone mystified.]

[*] Marle: "Goodness! She is tough!"
[*] Lucca: "Who IS that woman?!"
[*] Robo: "Her fighting capabilities far exceed those of humans!"

[1] Robo: "Now they're after us!"
[2] Marle: "Uh oh...they're coming our way!"

[The party beats up the rest of the Reptites. The woman comes over.]

[1] Marle: "Wh...what do you want?"
[2] Lucca: "What the...!"

[*] Robo: "Do not upset her. She's rather agitated right now."

[1] Lucca: "We're not looking for a fight!"
[2] Marle: "Ack!"

[She goes up real close to Crono and pins him to a wall.]

Marle: "Crono!"

Woman: "You strong. What name? Crono, huh? Good name. Me? Me..."

[Default name for the woman is Ayla.]

Ayla: "Me Ayla. Ayla like strong people. So Ayla like Crono!"

[*] Marle: "Get away from her, Crono!"
[*] 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?"

--------------------------------------------------------
[If Robo's with, Ayla will walk around him:]

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."

[1] Marle: "We're from many days ahead of tomorrow."
[2] Lucca: "We're from way after the day after 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! Fun!!"

[1] Marle: "Thank you but we can't. We're looking for a Dreamstone."
[2] 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.
      Crono come, Ioka Village this way."

[The party follows Ayla to the Chief's Hut.]

Ayla: "Good, Crono come. Night soon and ready for party. Come Crono!"

[That night, at the Meeting Site, a party is going on.]

Ayla: "Listen all! New friends here! Strong man, Crono! Friends of
      Crono. ____, ______!"

All: "Unngaaa!"

Ayla: "Now, we dance!"

[Crono talks to his comrades.]

[*] Lucca: "They're twisting my arm!"
[*] Marle: "C'mon Crono, let's party!"
[*] Robo: "This is no time to celebrate!"

[He goes back to Ayla.]

Ayla: "Crono you try?! Special Jurassic pork soup! Good stuff!! Ayla
      fight Reptites. Their leader Azala. Very smart. All in Ioka 
      Village fight. No fight, go to Laruba Village. Don't know where
      Village is. Always hide. Azala want to destroy Ioka AND Laruba.
      But Ayla no lose. Only when Ayla dead, give up! Enough. Meet 
      Crono today. Good day! Eat, party, sing, dance!"

[Crono talks to his friends once more.]

[*] Robo: "What an unpleasant substance. And so many bugs in it!"
[*] Marle: "This is fantastic! I want to dance, too!"
[*] Lucca: "Yumm. Crono you've got to try some poi!"
           R1 --> Spoon it up!
           R2 --> No, thanks.

           R1: "Are you a man or a mouse?! Do it in one gulp! Gyah
               ha ha! Buurp!"
           R2: "Hey? You're not a wimp, are you?! C'mon eat up!"
               R3 --> Ok.
               R4 --> No.
           R3: [Same as R1]
           R4: [She repeats R2]

[He goes back to Ayla.]

Ayla: "Crono, you look for red rock? Rare, red rock sign of power. Ayla
      strongest in Ioka Village. So Ayla's rock! You want, challenge
      Ayla! You win, then Ayla give to you. Challenge Ayla?
      R1 --> Yes.
      R2 --> No.

      R1: [See below.]
      R2: "Crono scared?! Crono strong. Ayla strong. We battle!" 
          [She repeats question.]

[Ayla won't let Crono go until he says he'll 'do battle' with her.]

Ayla: "Bring plenty soup! Party now, so eat! Crono and Ayla have soup
      race! We start now. Push X button much times!"

[They race. If Crono loses:]

Ayla: "Burp! Stop already? You strong, but no can eat much. What?!
      Crono give up?
      R1 --> Yes.
      R2 --> No way!

      R1: "Crono scared?! Crono strong. Ayla strong. We battle!" [Soup
          race restarts.]
      R2: [Soup race restarts.]

[If Crono wins:]

Ayla: "Burp! Enough, Crono! You wish, I give you rock! Crono eat 
      plenty! Eat last bowl for health! Ok, eat. Maybe eat too much!"

[After a long night of partying, the group wakes up at the empty site.]

[*] Marle: "Morning Crono! Wasn't that fun last night?!
[*] Robo: "G...good morning. That soup seems to affect humans."
[*] Lucca: "Phew... What? Liar! I was a perfect lady last night! But why does
           my tummy hurt so...?

[The party looks around at the ground.]

[1] Lucca: "Hey! Who made those footprints?! It's gone! The Gate Key's 
           been taken! These prints were left by the thief! Without it, 
           we're stuck here forever! This isn't funny! Let's go see 
           Ayla!"

[If Lucca isn't with:]

Marle: "Wh...who made these footprints?! It, it's gone! Oh no! The
       Gate Key is gone!"    
Robo: "Whoever left these prints took the Gate Key! It's too risky
      to use the Gate without it."
Marle: "Crono! Let's go find Ayla!"

[At the Chief's Hut, Ayla snoozes.]

Ayla: "Snort...zzzz...zzzz..."

[They wake her up.]

Ayla: "Huh... Crono, you up already? Yaaawn... Too much soup! Sleep
      like stone. Burrp..."

[1] Lucca: "Sorry to wake you, but we've been robbed!"
[2] Marle: "We'd let you sleep, but a valuable item has been stolen."

Ayla: "Wh, what? Must be Reptites! Crono come with Ayla! We settle
      with Reptites! Who else come?"

[A third party member is chosen.]

Ayla: "Someone from village see. We go ask. Crono come!"

[The party learns the culprit went to the Forest Maze, so they quickly
hightail it to there.]

[The party finds a man by some Reptite tracks at the entrance.]

Ayla: "Kino! What you do?! Say NOW!"

Kino: "Ayla... Kino take Crono stuff."

Ayla: "Why take?!"

Kino: "Kino like Ayla best. Ayla like Crono, but Kino not like..."

[Ayla knocks him on the head.]

[1] Marle: "Ayla! Mellow out!"
[2] Lucca: "Wow, talk about strict!"
[3] Robo: "Miss Ayla, please do not promote violence."

Ayla: "Kino! You know why I punish?"

Kino: "Ayla no like Kino..."

Ayla: "No! Ayla like Kino BEST! No more do bad stuff, okay?! That
      wrong!"

Kino: "Ayla... Sorry Ayla! Sorry Crono!"

Ayla: "Give back stuff to Crono!"

Kino: "...No have... Reptites take!"

Ayla: "Reptites!! Where they go?!"

Kino: "Run into trees...there!"

Ayla: "Ayla go too. Kino go back village. Kino protect village when
      Ayla not there."

Kino: "Okay, Ayla!"

[Kino leaves.]

Ayla: "Kino is man...so if Ayla die, Kino chief, then."

[1] Marle: "Ayla..."

[In the bowels of the lair, the party stumbles upon someone talking.]

Voice: "What's this?! Could those apes have made something THIS
       advanced?"

Ayla: "Azala!!"

Azala: "Ah, the apes have arrived! Hmm. You're nothing like Ayla...
       Tell me what this is, at once!"

Narrative: Tell Azala about the Key?
           R1 --> Yes.
           R2 --> No.

           R1: "Liars! No one would talk that easily. This should
               loosen your tongues. Come, Nizbel!"
           R2: "I guess you need some...motivation. Come, Nizbel!"

[A giant tricerotops-type dinosaur walks out to fight the party, but
only gets beaten anyway.]

Azala: "Th...the apes beat Nizbel!"

Ayla: "Give thing back to Crono. NOW!"

Azala: "But remember, WE reptites will rule the world! Your days are
       numbered!"

[Azala leaves the Gate Key and flees.]

[1] Robo: "I do not detect any damage."
[2] Lucca: "Is the Gate Key okay? No problem!"
[3] Marle: "Is the Gate Key okay? Thank goodness! It looks all right."

Ayla: "I fight anytime, Azala! Ayla no lose! Bbburp!"

[Ayla collapses and they bring her back to Ioka.]

Ayla: "You leave, Crono? No fun for Ayla!"

[1] Marle: "I'll never forget you! Thanks!"
[2] Lucca: "Thanks Ayla. I learned a lot from you."

Kino: "Sorry, Crono. I try be strong now. Just like Crono!"

Ayla: "Come again, Crono! Party! Eat! Dance! Fight! Fun!"

[The party turns to leave.]

Ayla: "Come again, Crono! ____ and ____ too!"

Melchoir: "You found some Dreamstone?! Then I'll repair the Masamune!
          HOW on earth did you get the Masamune... ...and the 
          Dreamstone? No, don't tell me. I don't think my heart could
          take it. It'll take a little while to fix this..."

[1] Robo: "I shall help also."
[2] Lucca: "I'll lend a hand!!"

[The two go downstairs. Crono and the other party member follow.]

Melchoir: "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."

[1] Robo: "Understood."
[2] Lucca: "OK! Leave it to Lucca the Great!"

[After awhile:]

Melchoir: "All right, it's done! Now, bring me the Dreamstone."

[1] Robo: "Understood."
[2] Lucca: "I'm done here too."

Melchoir: "All right, let's get started."

[MUCH LATER, upstairs:]

Melchoir: "Sorry to keep you waiting. Take a good look! THIS is the
          Masamune!"

[1] Marle: "Awesome! What a weapon!"
[2] Robo: "How strange. My sensors are picking up...spiritual energy
          emanating from the Masamune.

Melchoir: "Well, I think that's everything."

Marle: "Ok Crono, let's take the Masamune to Frog."

Leene: "Cyrus? Are you leaving?

Cyrus: "Yes, it's tiem we took back the Medal from the Frog King. And
       I'd like to see that mystical 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..."

[Cyrus leaves and meets with soldiers at the castle entrance.]

Soldier: "Sir Cyrus!!"

Soldier: "We, the Knights of the Square Table, wish you a safe
         journey!"

Cyrus: "Listen well, my friends... I now entrust the safety of the
       kingdom to you!"

[Cyrus walks to a man with green hair, waiting for him.]

Cyrus: "Pardon the delay. Shall we be off?"

[Leene runs into view.]

Leene: "Glenn, you be careful too!"

Glenn: "Be of sound health, your Majesty!"

[In a forest somewhere (Guardia Forest?), the Frog King is found.]

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, polliwog! En garde! Nirvana Strike!"

[Cyrus attacks quickly.]

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

[The Frog King throws the Badge of Courage on the ground and leaves.
The flashback turns to the Denadoro Mountains at nighttime.]

Glenn: "Aaah!"

Cyrus: "Beware Glenn!!

Glenn: "Cyrus! The sword... The Masamune!"

[The two are shown fighting Ozzie. Nearby, Magus stands.]

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 best worry more about yourself, Cyrus!"

Cyrus: "Come on, Glenn! GO!! Aaahhh...!"

[Cyrus rushes at Magus, who whips him back with dark magic. Cyrus is
at death's door.]

Glenn: "C, Cyrus!"

Cyrus: "R...run...Glenn... The Queen. Take care...of...Leene...
       ........."

[Cyrus' armored body breaks out in flames.]

Glenn: "C, Cyrus!? Cyruuus!!" 

[Cyrus disappears.]

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? 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: "!!"

[Magus hits him with a body-changing spell.]

Glenn: "A...augh!! Aaaaack!"

[Glenn falls of a cliff by the waterfall.]

Ozzie: "Gyah ha ha...! You spineless wimp!"

[The flashback ends and it shows Frog's abode again. While everyone
sleeps, Frog looks at the Masamune.]

Frog: "10 years hath passed... Can I do it? I've changed so much. Alas,
      poor Cyrus...!"

[The next morning, Frog wakes the party up.]

Frog: "Awake'th, Crono! Though we may fail... ...let us go to Magus's
      lair. Thou knowest his power?"

[*] Lucca: "Nothing can beat science!"
[*] Marle: "We won't be beaten by a bad guy!"
[*] Robo: "We must do it to save our future!"

[A third member is chosen to accompany Frog and Crono. Next stop:
Magic Cave!]

 \___/  |_|  |________________________________________________________|

[The cave's entrance is around a bluff, but there seems to be no way
into it... Frog has a flashback where some kids are teasing him in
Guardia Forest and Cyrus runs to help him. Everyone is pretty young.]

Glenn: "Aaahhhh!"

Cyrus: "Hey you--!"

Kids: "It's Cyrus! Run for your lives!"

[The mean kids split.]

Glenn: "Sniffle...thanks, Cyrus...Hic...!"

Cyrus: "Glenn, there are times when people simply have to grit their
       teeth!"

Glenn: "But...it hurts when I get hit. They..."

Cyrus: "You're a marshmallow, Glenn..."

[Years later, Glenn meets Cyrus on Zenan Bridge.]

Cyrus: "Hey Glenn... I've been thinking about becoming a Knight..."

Glenn: "I knew you were going to enlist! You'll make a great warrior!"

Cyrus: "Why don't you join, too?"

Glenn: "I...don't think I'd make the cut."

Cyrus: "But, why? You're better with a sword than I am!"

Glenn: "I don't know... I think I'd really lose it if I had to hurt
       someone."

[Glenn recalls the scene where he got hit by Magus' spell.]

Glenn: "!! A...augh!!"

[After the fall, Glenn wakes up by the water....as Frog. The Hero
Medal floats down the water to him.]

Glenn: "The...Medal. ...The Hero's...Medal..."

[The flashback ends.]

Frog: "Hand'eth over the Masamune!"

[Crono sticks it in the ground.]

Frog: "Mine name is Glenn! Cyrus's hopes and dreams... And now the
      Masamune... Forthwith I shall slay Magus and restore honor!"

[A video plays of Frog taking the Masamune, drawing out the power 
inside of it. With a single slash from the Masamune's powerful beam,
he cuts the bluff in twain and reveals the Magic Cave's entrance. They
all rush in and, on the other side, come to an island where Magus' Lair
stands in the distance.]

[The party walks up to the dark citadel.]

Frog: "This can only be... Magus's castle...!"

[After running into two dead ends, the party finds Ozzie in the hall.]

Frog: "Ozzie!"

Ozzie: "Welcome, Glenn! Or should I say, Sir Froggy! Mwa, ha! Say,
       looks like you got some replacements for Cyrus! Magus is a tad
       busy right now. You'll have to take up your business with me...
       ...the swordsman, Slash, and Flea, the magician... And... You'll
       have to defeat all 100 of the beasts in Magus's castle...!"

[Ozzie leaves some baddies to fight the party, but they go down easy.
The party finds back to the left fork, killing undead enemies.]

Voice: "Hmmm... How did you get past my...cadaver pals?"

[A man appears.]

Frog: "It's been ages, Sir Slush!"

Slash: "That's SLASH, you slimy dolt! Still playing the comedian, eh
       Glenn? You'd be singing a different tune if Cyrus hadn't been
       there with you last time! You'd have fit right in with those
       boney fellows you just busted up!"

[The party takes down a weaponless Slash with ease.]

Slash: "Now, let's get to business. This is going to do me a world of
       good! And with no Cyrus to protect you, you're mine! You dare
       oppose me?!

[Slash takes the sword off the wall and attacks, but still gets beaten
as much as a pack mule.]

Slash: "Unbelievable...! But falling in the line of duty for Magus...
       ...leaves me with few regrets...!"

[Slash disappears. After beating up all the baddies in the right fork,
the party arrives at the last room. A weird monster floats on the
throne.]

Frog: "The magician, Flea, I presume?"

[The party defeats 'Flea?'.]

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

Voice: "Mwa ha... Here, over here..."

[The bat that had been following them the entire journey through the
Magic Cave changes form...into Flea.]

Flea: "Giving up, little tadpole?!"

[1] Robo: "Who is this fiend?"
[2] Lucca: "Hey! Who ARE you?!"
[3] Marle: "Who IS this person?"

Frog: "Keep your guard up! This is no ordinary woman! Meet Flea, the
      magician!"

Flea: "What the...?! Hey, I'm a GUY!"

[1] Marle: "THAT is a GUY?!"
[2] Lucca: "Say what?! That's a guy?!"
[3] Robo: "But its exterior is that of a female..."

Flea: "Male...female......what's the difference? Power is beautiful,
      and I've got the power! Poor little Froggie! You must lonely now
      that Cyrus is gone. And to be turned into something so hideous!
      Dreadful! But since you've brought your new friends over to 
      play... ...I'll show you all a good time!"

[The party defeats Flea no matter his gender.]

Flea: "How can this be... Sir Magus..."

[Flea disappears. At the main hall, the party finds a teleportation
device. The party runs into Ozzie down the way.]

Ozzie: "I grow tired of this! Slash!! Flea!"

Frog: "Sorry, Ozzie, but they can't help you now..."

Ozzie: "You fly eating, tongue flicking...! Oz... Ozzie's in...a jam!!"

[He runs away.]

Frog: "Thou can'st not run!"

[In the next room, guillotine blades drop onto conveyor belts.]

Ozzie: "Welcome...! Mwa, ha... How's this?"

[The party makes it through easy as pie, to the platform Ozzie's at.]

Ozzie: "Urghhhhhh... What the...? Impossible...!"

[Ozzie flees again, but they catch up to him.]

Ozzie: "Urghhhhhh... What the...?! Impossible...!"

[The party catches up to Ozzie once again after he sends enemies at
them.]

Ozzie: "What the...?! Impossible...! Urghhhhhh... Grr...This takes the
       cake!"

[Ozzie is _finally_ cornered in a dead-end room.]

Ozzie: "Urghhhhhh..."

Frog: "Thy time hath cometh, Ozzie."

Ozzie: "Harharhar... I'm sure Sir Magus has already called for
       reinforcements...! Wait until Lavos arrives!! I shan't be
       defeated! No form of attack will break MY barrier!"

[And indeed nothing can. Someone attacks a crank nearby and a chain
starts to move.]

Ozzie: "Hahahahahaha!!"

[Another crank-chain is set off.]

Ozzie: "Watch where you're aiming! Guwa, ha, ha..."

[The third crank-chain unwinds.]

Ozzie: "Hahahahahaha!!"

[The last chain comes undone.]

Ozzie: "Mwee, hee, hee... Eh?!"

[The last spot opened on the floor is under Ozzie, and he and his
unbreakable barrier fall through the hole and crash far below.]

[1] Marle: "That was a breeze!"
[2] Lucca: "That guy was totally bent..."
[3] Robo: "What was that guy's problem? That Ozzie..."

Frog: "We must hurry to Magus's place!"

[The teleporter nearby leads to Magus' inner sanctum. The party can
hear him chanting as they enter the lightless place.]

Voice: "Neuga, ziena, zieber, zom... Now the chosen time has come...
       Exchange this world for...!"

[A video of Frog, Masamune in hand, walking toward the center of the
room plays. Lights on the floor encircle Magus and illuminate him as
he is in the middle of the spell.]

Frog: "Magus!!"

Magus: "I...it's that stupid frog! Kissed any princesses lately?!"

Frog: "I rather enjoy this form. And I oweth it all to you! I have
      something for you!"

Magus: "Ah...! The Masamune!!! I bet you're just dying to use it!
       The black wind begins to blow... Okay...give me your best 
       shot... If you're prepared for the void!"

[The party defeats Magus.]

Magus: "W...what have you done to the Masamune...?"

[The ground rumbles.]

[1] Marle: "What the...?!"
[2] Lucca: "What's happening!"
[3] Robo: "It's a large-scale energy reaction!"

Frog: "Could it be...Lavos?!"

Magus: "Bad timing...! Don't wake up on me now...!"

[1] Marle: "Wake up? YOU'RE the one who CREATED him!"
[2] Lucca: "What do you mean?! Didn't you CREATE him?!"
[3] Robo: "What do you mean? According to my records, Lavos was born
          here, at THIS precise moment..."

Magus: "You fools! I only 'summoned' him! He lives in the inner earth,
       absorbing the land's power and growing ever stronger!"

[1] Marle: "What?!"
[2] Lucca: "So, he wasn't born in this period..."
[3] Robo: "Then my data must be incorrect..."

Frog: "What's going on?!"

[1] Lucca: "A g, Gate?! It's huge...!"
[2] Robo: "Impossible! A Gate this large should not exist!"

Magus: "You! If you hadn't shown up...!"

[1] Marle: "Th, the Gate?!"
[2] Lucca: "We're being drawn in!"
[3] Robo: "It's an enormous gravity well!"

Frog: "Whoa...!!"

[A large Gate sucks up the party and Magus and they all disappear.]

[Leene's Bell rings in the distance.] 

Voice: "Crono...... Crono! Wake up, Crono!"

[The opening scene of the game replays, this time with Marle instead
of Crono's mother.]

Marle: "Honey...you'll be late for work! I'd forgotten how beautiful 
       Leene's Bell could sound! Crono! We can't keep sponging off my 
       dad! Go out and get a job! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! Crono! 
       Crono! Crono! Crono!!"

[Everyone wakes up in Ayla's tent. Magus is not there.]

Ayla: "Crono awake?!"

[1] Marle: "Ayla!"
[2] Lucca: "Ayla?!"
[3] Robo: "Ms. Ayla! Which means we're..."

Ayla: "Ayla had strange dream. Went to Mystic Mountains. Everyone lie
      there, hurt. I carry back to hut."

Frog: "Magus!"

Ayla: "Yummy frog! For Ayla eat?"

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

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

Frog: "We hath lost him..."

[1] Lucca: "Magus said that Lavos was born in the distant past..."
[2] Marle: "But if Magus didn't create Lavos, where did...it...come 
           from?"
[3] Robo: "If Magus didn't create Lavos, then in what era was it...
          born?"

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

[The party rests for awhile. Kino enters.]

Kino: "Crono, okay now? Ayla busy, look for Laruba Village. Fight
      Reptites together. Destroy Reptites or we no survive."

Voice: "Kiiiiiiiiino!"

[A villager walks in.]

Kino: "What happen? Quiet! Crono rest."

Villager: "North wood burning!!!"

[Everyone heads to Laruba Village ruins.]

[When the party gets there, they find the town smoldering. A villager
runs over to Crono.]

Villager: "Reptites take Kino! Reptites hurt all who fight! What do
          now?!"

[They find Ayla talking with an elder.]

Old Man: "Ayla...This your fault! Look at mess... Reptites followed
         you! So village now ruined!"

Ayla: "...Ayla feel bad."

Old Man: "Reptites strong! They live long time before us, they smart
         so we hide. But Ayla says fight together... Ayla still
         fight?!"

Ayla: "Ayla fight while alive! Win and live. Lose and die. Rule of
      life. No change rule. Old man breathe, but dead on inside."

Old Man: "Ayla, you strong, can make big talk. We no have power..."

Ayla: "No! Have power! We fight, gain more power! Ayla help you, but
      need Dactyl. Give Dactyl."

Old Man: "Need Dactyl? Go to Tyrano Lair?! That Reptite's place. 
         Dangerous! Ayla want die?"

Ayla: "Want to live, so go there! Ayla be OK. Give Dactyl!"

Old Man: "...OK. Go to Dactyl's Nest and keeper will help. Careful,
         Ayla!"

Ayla: "Thank you, old man!"

[Ayla heads for the Dactyl's Nest.]

[The party finds Ayla at the top of the cliffs, beckoning to a Dactyl.]

Ayla: "Crono!!"

[1] Lucca: "You can't be serious about going alone!"
[2] Marle: "Don't even THINK about leaving us behind!"
[3] Frog: "Thou goest forth alone? I know not thine quest, but a 
          comrade of Crono's is also mine. I will not allow to meet 
          thy demise alone."

Ayla: "No! Tyrano Lair dangerous! Maybe all perish!"

[1] Lucca: "Listen, we owe you one! Right, Crono?"
[2] Marle: "We can't let you go alone! Ayla, you saved us. Now it's
           payback time! Right Crono?"
[3] Frog: "You desire to perish? I refuseth to be party to yet another
           demise! Let us proceed, Crono."

Ayla: "Ayla have strong friends!"

[1] Robo: "Let us proceed to the Tyrano Lair!"
[2] Lucca: "We're all going to the Tyrano Lair!"
[3] Marle: "Ayla, let's go! Next stop, the Tyrano Lair!"

[More Dactyls come for the party. A video plays where Ayla and her
friends jump on some Dactyls and take flight. Now outfitted with the
ability to fly, the Tyrano Lair is within reach.]

[The party invades Tyrano Lair and finds a jail cell first, upon
which they free the Larukans inside. As they get to the next cell,
they see some Reptites in front of Kino.]

Jailer: "Thanks for bringing, er, being the main course! It's the
        apes!!!"

[The 'apes' take down the Reptites. They see Kino through the bars.]

Kino: "Ayla!"

Ayla: "Kino get back! Ayla save you!"

[Ayla climbs over the bars and enters the locked cell.]

[1] Marle: "Wow!"
[2] Frog: "Hmmph."
[3] Lucca: "What are you doing in there?!"
[4] Robo: "That method does not appear to be rational."

Kino: "Sorry Ayla. All Kino's fault."

Ayla: "No matter. Kino escape with Laruba villagers!"

Kino: "What Ayla do?"

Ayla: "Put end to this!"

Kino: "Kino go too!"

Ayla: "Kino no come. If Ayla dead, Kino new chief of Ioka!"

Kino: "Ayla..."

[Ayla bursts out of the cell, unlocking the door the hard way.]

Ayla: "Ayla strong! No lose!"

Kino: "Kino understand. And show you something!"

[They follow Kino to the first room, and he unlocks a door for them.]

Kino: "You strong, me weak. Ayla good chief!"

[Kino runs off and leaves the party to their own devices. The party
runs into Nizbel, who tells them Azala's in the back and lets them
proceed before coming over.]

Nizbel: "Hold it. This is a special place. The great Nizbel was
        defeated here!"

[The party defeats Nizbel II and continues until they get to Azala,
sitting upon a throne.]

Azala: "So...you are here at last. This is it, then. The showdown.
       Today there shall be a conclusion. Will it be the Reptites, or
       you silly apes who end up ruling the world?"

Ayla: "Strong survive. Ayla strong. Ayla fight!"

[Something roars from the room behind Azala.]

Azala: "Hear that lovely voice? You'll soon become the best of
       friends!"

[Azala exits into that room, a path that leads to a tower...and a 
gigantic pet t-rex-type dinosaur. Azala stands on its shoulder.]

Azala: "Red star... Fall!!!!! Stain the earth...RED! Though it may be
       our fate to perish, we will not simply hand this world over to
       you! Mwa ha ha! With this Black Tyrano I can finally exterminate
       those filthy apes!"

[The party defeats Azala and his Black Tyrano.]

Azala: "No... It can't be...! Could the heavens truly have sided with
       the apes? Listen, primates, and let it be known. We Reptites
       fought bravely to the bitter end!"

Ayla: "Ayla understand..."

[A red light flashes.]

Ayla: "!?"

[The party looks over the side of the walkway.]

Azala: "Soon, stones of fire will rain down. Flames shall scorch the
       land. The burned out plains will slowly freeze, ushering in a
       long, cruel ice age. Mwa, ha ha...what a treat! You will wish
       you went along with us! Mwa ha!"

Ayla: "Lavos..."

[1] Marle: "Pardon?"
[2] Lucca: "La...Lavos!?"
[3] Robo: "Lavos... Impossible!"

[Lavos is shown barreling through space until it falls into the
atmosphere of the planet.]

Ayla: "Ayla's word. 'La' mean fire. 'Vos' mean big..."

Voice: "Ayla!"

Ayla: "Kino!"

[Kino and some Dactyls fly to the party.]

Ayla: "Hurry! Lavos come soon! All ride Dactyl! Kino! Hurry!!"

[Ayla gets on, then jumps off and runs to Azala.]

Kino: "Ayla! What you do?!"

Ayla: "Come! Azala! Come!"

Azala: "Absolutely not! The powers that be have spoken."

Ayla: "..."

Kino: "Ayla! Hurry!!!"

Ayla: "Azala... ...me not forget..."

Azala: "The future..."

Ayla: "Future? What about future?"

Azala: "We...have no future..."

[The dactyls fly away as Lavos falls to earth, decimating the plateau
the Tyrano Lair was on. The party lands on a cliffside.]

[1] Robo: "So Lavos was 'born' here..."
[2] Lucca: "So Lavos arrived in this period."
[3] Marle: "So! Lavos descended in this era!"
[4] Frog: "Through no fault of Magus does Lavos live! Lavos hath fallen
          from the sky in ancient times."

Ayla: "Lavos huge! Crono fight it? Crono! We go where Lavos fall!"

[1] Lucca: "We may be able to do something now! Let's go find out!"
[2] Robo: "Lavos should be weaker now. Perhaps we can put an end to
          him?!"
[3] Marle: "It just arrived so there may be something we can do! Let's
           go see!"
[4] Frog: "Left unscatched, it will burrow deep within the eart. Best
          to defeat it now!"

[The party heads to the remnants of the Reptite cidadel, the Lair
Ruins.]

[In the crater, the party finds a Gate.]

[1] Frog: "'Tis a Gate?"
[2] Robo: "A Gate has formed!"
[3] Marle: "Th, there's a Gate!"
[4] Lucca: "Why is there a Gate here?!"

Ayla: "Lavos very fast! Deep under earth already."

[1] Marle: "This Gate was made by Lavos. Maybe Lavos is the source of all
           Gates?"
[2] Frog: "M, mayhap Lavos be the cause of this warp? The one in 
          Magus's Castle was immense."
[3] Robo: "It appears that the immense energy that Lavos radiates 
          alters time and creates Gates."
[4] Lucca: "Now I understand! The immense energy that Lavos gives off
           alters time and creates Gates."

Ayla: "What wrong, Crono? Fight Lavos! Go in here. Yes?"

[The party takes the Gate and comes out in a cave. The wind blows
violently outside.]

[*] Ayla: "Where this, Crono?!"
[*] Marle: "Boy, this is exciting!"
[*] Frog: "Wh, where art we? 'Tis strange...!"
[*] Lucca: "Well it IS the Gate nearest to Lavos. We have no idea as to where
           it leads."
[*] Robo: "The Time Gyro says... What!? 12,000 years in the past?! That was
          some trip!"

[Outside is a winter wonderland. Well, maybe not a wonderland. The 
year: 12000 B.C. Looking for quick shelter, the party runs to the
Skyway nearby and enters. The teleportation device lifts them up into
the clouds, and they arrive at a floating city. The nearest building
is of Enhasa.]

Boy: "......"

[*] Ayla: "What wrong? That animal good food?"
[*] Marle: "What's wrong with him? What a weird kid..."

[*] Frog: "Urchin! Halt!"
[*] Lucca: "H, hey! Explain yourself!"
[*] Robo: "Is, is it true? What are the percentages?"
[*] Marle: "What?! And out of the blue, like that?"

[The boy leaves without another word.]

[*] Robo: "Why did he say such a thing?"
[*] Marle: "Crono... This is kinda creepy."
[*] Ayla: "Strange one... But not bad boy."
[*] Lucca: "It's only a bad joke. It's unscientific."
[*] Frog: "I knoweth not what this portends. What an unpleasant lad."

[Shaken, the party leaves and takes the land-bridge teleportation
system to heads to Zeal Palace, tallest structure in the land.]

 \___/  |_|  |________________________________________________________|

[At the Palace, the party eavesdrops on the kid who said someone would
perish shortly. A woman is with him.]

Boy: "Schala!!"

Schala: "Oh, you're back Janus! Is something wrong?"

Janus: "The black wind..."

Schala: "You feel it too? Don't worry, it'll be alright. Now, hold
        onto this."

Janus: "What is it?"

Schala: "It's a kind of amulet. If something should happen, it'll
        protect you. I wish I could be with you always... But mother
        has other plans."

Janus: "She's NOT our mother! She looks like mother, but inside she has
       changed."

Schala: "...... Still I can't... Janus, I'm sorry."

[Someone calls from the hall.]

Voice: "Excuse me, Highness."

[An attendant walks in.]

Attendant: "The Queen asks for your immediate presence at the Ocean
           Palace."

Schala: "All right. Well, Janus... I'll be going."

[Schala sees Crono's party in the doorway.]

Schala: "Oh! Who might you be?"

Attendant: "Miss Schala, please hurry! If you're late, I'll be
           punished!"

Schala: "Oh yes, I'm sorry."

[Schala leaves. The party follows her to the main hallway, in which
she uses her pendant to unlock a door. She passes through and the door
closes again. Crono tries Marle's pendant.]

[*] Ayla: "Strange. How come?"
[*] Robo: "This door has a strong defense mechanism."
[*] Lucca: "Hmm... There's something to this pendant."
[*] Marle: "Hmm... Just as we thought, it won't budge."
[*] Frog: "'Tis a mere DOOR that keeps us bound, hand, foot, and...tongue!"

[The party gains access to the door after using the Mammon Machine to
power up the pendant.]

[*] Marle: "Yea, we did it!"
[*] Ayla: "Ayla go! No fear, Crono!"
[*] Frog: "What doth challenge us now?"
[*] Robo: "There is no doubt. Marle's pendant is made of the 'Guru's Rock'."
[*] Lucca: "Heh, heh... Even a door of this caliber can't keep science at bay!"

[The party enters the throne room. The queen, Schala, Dalton (who you could
identify if you visited the Blackbird already), and a robed man are there.]

Queen: "Who are you!? How did you get in here?"

Prophet: "Your majesty... They are the evildoers I warned you of."

Queen: "How DARE you think you could oppose me, you...foreigners! You're worse
       than the Gurus! Fools! Dalton, take them away!"

Dalton: "Yes ma'am! By your leave... Golem!"

[A Golem appears to fight the party. If you win:]

Dalton: "My poor Golem! That was inexcusable!"

[Dalton puts them in a forcefield that weakens them. If you lose, you'll be
passed out and the Queen will say anyway:]

Queen: "Mwa, ha, ha... Fear not! You won't die...immediately, that is! But by
       the time we're through with you, you'll be begging us to end your
       suffering. What a delicious diversion!"

[The party floats in stasis in the room where the Mammon Machine was housed.
Janus, Alfador, and Schala walk in and look at them.]

Janus: "Hmph! Idiots... What will you do, Schala?"

Schala: "Let us rescue them."

Janus: "I think it's useless. Besides, if they escape, you'll be in trouble."

Schala: "Don't worry about me. They just might be able to rescue the Gurus."

[She frees the party.]

Schala: "Are you all right? Quickly, escape from the palace! And if you can,
        please rescue Melchoir! He was sent to the Mountain of Woe for opposing
        the Queen. Please! You have to help him!"

Voice: "I'm afraid I can't allow that..."

[The Prophet enters.]

Prophet: "Your meddling tires me. You'll...just have to disappear!"

Schala: "You mustn't!"

Prophet: "......!"

Janus: "Stop!"

Prophet: "Okay...I'll spare them. But in turn, you WILL cooperate, Schala! Now,
         show me how you came here."

[They show the prophet the warp gate down by the first Skyway.]

Prophet: "Hmm...so you came in through here. Now Schala! After I throw them in,
         I want you to seal the portal shut."

Schala: "N, no! You can't make me!"

Prophet: "Obey me! Their lives are at stake!"

Schala: "I...oh, all right..."

[The party goes into the warp gate and Schala seals it. The prophet leaves.]

Schala: "Please forgive me..."

[The party arrives back at the Ruins after being forcefully kicked out of 
12000 B.C.]

[1] Robo: "Why would the Prophet spare us?"
[2] Marle: "Why did the Prophet let us go?"
[3] Lucca: "The Prophet could have just done away with us."
[4] Frog: "'Tis true, he hath spared us. But something is amiss."
 
[1] Ayla: "They take energy from Lavos. Lavos not get weak?"
[2] Robo: "The key to defeating Lavos must exist in that area."
[3] Frog: "Where hast Magus gone? I shan't allow him to get away."
[4] Lucca: "The key to defeating Lavos must exist in that period."

[1] Lucca: "The crest on those sealed doors... We've seen it elsewhere,
           haven't we?!"
[1] Frog: "Thou hast seen elsewhere the crest on the doors that the pendant
          opens, correct?"
[2] Robo: "Wait. The crest on the doors that the pendant opens... I have seen
          them in my own time!"
[3] Marle: "Wait a minute. I've seen the design on the doors this pendant
           opens, somewhere else...

[A place yet unvisited in 2300 A.D. is shown. A man and a Nu are in a lab near
a strange door with 'the crest'.]

Narrative: A curious crest is engraved here. Some unknown power keeps it
           sealed.

[*] Marle: "Let's check it out, Crono!"
[*] Robo: "Let us return to my own time!"
[1] Frog: "'Tis time to depart, eh, Crono?!"
[*] Lucca: "We may yet find our way back to that era! Let's get cracking,
           Crono!"

[Next up: 2300 A.D.]

[The party enters and an ugly flying creature sees them.]

Guard: "Bandits! Must report to Sir Krawlie!"

[The guard runs off and the party soon finds two frog-things conversing.]

Underling: "There was a bridge here! I SAW it, rrrribit!"

Boss: "Fool! Grribbit! There's nothing here!"

Underling: "B...but it's true, ribbit..."

Boss: "Someone's coming! Let's scram, grribbit!"

[A ladder is nearby.]

[*] Ayla: "Bad place! Much danger."
[*] Marle: "This is a tad on the spooky side..."
[*] Lucca: "This is an eerie place. I've got a bad feeling about this..."

[The party finds the two frogs again later.]

Underling: "Press the switch, and the bridge opens, ribbit!"

Boss: "So, switch on, gribbit!"

Underling: "Riiiiiiiiibit! It's out of reach, ribbit!"

Boss: "And you call yourself a frog, ribbit, GRIBBIT! Someone's coming! Let's
      scram, grribbit!"

[After the frogs leave, the party comes upon the guard from the entrance and
an ugly centipede-thing with a stinger.]

Guard: "The 3 of them are almost here!"

Sir Krawlie: "Coming through the sewer like they own it! They must have a 
             death wish! we shall teach them a lesson!"

Guard: "Let's show 'em. HEE HEE!"

Sir Krawlie: "Just let them come through here! They'll be chopped liver!
             Hahahahahaha!"

Guard: "Heeheeheeheehee!"

Sir Krawlie: "Harharharhar!"

Guard: "HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Sir Krawlie: "HEEEEHEEEEEHEEE!"

Guard: "!"

[The guard sees the party and flees.]

Sir Krawlie: "Huh?"

[The party defeats Krawlie and head out of the sewer access. The Keeper's Dome
is nearby, and that's the destination.]

 \___/  |_|  |________________________________________________________|

[The party enters and goes behind a crested door. The ground shines oddly.]S

Narrative: Huh...?

[The first 'shiny' is a recording.]

Voice: "To those who opened the door... I am Belthasar, the Guru of Reason. I
       once lived in the kingdom of Zeal. A great disaster in Zeal somehow
       threw me into this era. To my surprise, Lavos exists here, and, I 
       suspect, in other periods as well. Aeons ago, Lavos descended from the
       heavens. Burrowing deep into the world's core, he began to consume our
       planet's energy, and grow stronger."

[Another recording lies nearby.]

Voice: "Lavos disappeared briefly when he was summoned away by a mighty wizard
       who lived in Guardia, in the year 600. In 1999, Lavos claimed this area,
       and reigns from high atop Death Peak. Lavos continues to replicate...
       like a giang parasite, he is consuming our world."

[A third recording lies on the walkway.]

Voice: "Forced to live here, I continued to conduct research on Lavos. But I am
       growing old. And it's impossible to keep sane in such trying times. So
       before I lose it completely, I shall safeguard my data, and my ultimate
       creation..."

[The fourth recording still works.]

Voice: "How I long to return home... But I have grown frail... So you...YOU,
       who have opened the door! I leave things in your hands. Only by 
       mastering time, itself, do you stand a chance against Lavos."

[The last recording is near a door.]

Voice: "The odds will be against you... But you are true heroes. The world is
       in your hands. Open, now, the last door, and take what you find there.
       My last invention... My 'Wings of Time'..."

[Behind the crested door is a vehicle of some sort.]

[*] Ayla: "!! What this thing?"
[*] Frog: "This...moves through time?"
[*] Lucca: "This must be the invention Belthasar spoke of."
[*] Robo: "The Wings of Time... I believe I have heard of this device."
[*] Marle: "Wow...this is amazing... How do you tell the front from the back?"

[The party turns to leave when a thing comes through the door, pushing a lift
under the vehicle.]

Strange Creature: "Scared you, didn't I? It's me...BELTHASAR! I copied my
                  memory into this thing. What do you think? Anyway, there's
                  something I need to explain. Namely, how to transcend time!
                  Press the [] button for the time gauge. Then use the L1 & R1
                  buttons to select an era. Oh, yeah! Before you go, why don't
                  you... ...name my time machine!"

[Default name is 'Epoch.']

Belthasar: "Hop aboard!"

[The party climbs in via the lift.]

Strange Creature: Mumble, mumble?
                  R1 --> Take off.
                  R2 --> Get off.

                  R1: [The party gets in.]
                  R1: [The party exits.]

[A video plays of the party getting into the Epoch and turning it on. It
takes off down a tunnel and starts to move through time. The party members
are shaken up by the alacrity at which the Epoch moves.]

[1] Marle: "Eeeeek!"
[2] Ayla: "Epoch alive?"
[3] Frog: "What's happening?!"
[4] Lucca: "We're all right, aren't we?!"
[3] Robo: "Unbelievable energy! As if the sum of all the total spiritual power
          that has ever existed were somehow being amplified..."

[1] Frog: "Whoa!"
[2] Marle: "Awesome!"
[3] Ayla: "It great! It fast!!!"
[2] Lucca: "Traveling at warp speed!"
[3] Robo: "Even in my time, we did not have such devices!"

(NOTE: Second Party Member says "Epoch's capable of THIS?!" after 1st line.)

[In 12000 B.C., the Epoch lands without a hitch. The only obstacle between
Mt. Woe and the party is the Terra Cave.]

[At the back of Terra Cave is the Beast's Nest. The party encounters two beasts
and an imp.]

Imp: "You can't pass through here!"

[After defeating the beast and its friend, the party rides the chain up to the
floating mountain.]
