Zeal, 12000 B.C. - The Mammon Machine
Magus crouches beside the fallen Frog, and says into his amphibious ear,
³Having fun?² Magus sure was.
Frog glares at him coldly, and curses something in his medieval tongue.
Everyone, Frog, Crono, Ayla, and even his sister, Schala, are slowly being
dragged across the whirpool-energy nexus towards the monstrous space beast
Lavos. Upon Lavosı spikey back rides the queen of Zeal, his own mother, laughing
maniacally. All except Magus were effected by the blast of gravitational energy
Lavos unleashed.
Schala floats past him, bent double with pain, her eyes screaming for help. It
almost drives the Dark Mage to tears. He picks up his scythe.
He charges at Lavos, using the only attack he knows can hurt the beast,
charging his scythe with all the magics he knows. He slashes once, upon reaching
the horrible, demon-esque head. The scytheıs blade is jammed all the way into
Lavos, and energy is unleashed all through the beast, tearing it apart. His
mother is thrown to the ground, terrible dark magics of her own creation
devouring her, because of her seperation from Lavos.
Lavos screams a scream that could only be emitted by whatever huge, high
pitched vocal cords are within it. It bites at Magus, but he spins aside, his
black cloak tearing off in the creatureıs muzzle.
He grabs the handle of the scythe.
Itıs blade is lodged in the neck of the beast, and he tears at it forcefully,
his blue-black raven hair falling over his eyes. Crono rises shakily to his
left, and Magus smashes him over with a Dark Bomb before he is hit with a blast
of lightning. Magus shrugs off the attack, and Crono falls to the ground, stiff.
Marle and Lucca rise somewhere behind him, and he scenses their weapons being
loaded. Frog and Ayla rise near Crono, and Frog draws that dreaded sword of his.
An arrow stabs into Lavos beside Magus, and he knows Marle has taken his side in
fighting the alien entity. Robo charges behind him, utilising amazing stealth,
and grabs Magus around the chest in a metallic bear hug.
A single shot is fired, and Lucca gasps in terror.
It hits Robo in the back of the head, and huge amounts of electricity are
unleashed, smashing through him, then Magus, then into the scythe, then to
Lavos, then back into Magus again.
Magusıs entire bodyıs muscles all go tense, and he tears from the robotıs
grasp. Robo falls to the ground, all in a heap, a sound like whirring telling of
the loss of power.
Magus glances at Frog, who was charging at him from the left, the red blade
Masamune twirling expertly, and sends the amphibian smashing into Ayla, who was
also creeping at him. He feels like a god. An arrow strikes him in the shoulder,
and he feels the warm blood running down the inside of his armor. Nothing else.
³No Pain!² he thinks, and tears the feathered arrow out effortlessly. A Wonder
Shot hits him in the side, and smashes him into Schala, who was at last shakily
rising. She in turn hits the monstrous spiked hulk of Lavos, which has finally
gone still. She doesnıt get up. Magus gasps in terror, and puts his hand over
his mouth, tears rolling down his face. He is struck in the back, from someone
using fists.
Magus turns, and smashes Ayla across the face with the handle of his scythe,
and she is knocked down, but rises quickly, and uses her dinosaur summoning
powers on him. He is smashed into Lavosı gaping maw from one sweep of a giant
tail, and feels a huge, metallic quill stab into his back. He doesnıt care. He
raises his mail-covered arms, and Ayla goes screaming across the battle field,
and goes still.
Magus tires of the battle. Schala is still laying there, against Lavos, maybe
dead. The same goes for Crono. He doesnıt seem to be breathing, and Marle is
holding him, crying, and kissing his face. Roboıs limbs twirl in circles, and
Lucca is upon him, attempting to repair him. The Dark Mage glances at his
mother, the Queen. She is standing now, facing Lavos. She looks half dead, most
of her face eaten away, and replaced by something dark and terrible. She glances
at him, and her eyes narrow with anger. She dissapears in a heat wave that tells
of teleportation.
He looks around himself once again. Frog is now standing beside Ayla, and
helping her rise shakily to her feet. Marle has risen above Cronoıs lifeless
body, a terrible killing lust etched in her eyes and her face. She holds her
crossbow steadily, aimed at him.
Magus stares into her eyes. Cronoıs dead. He can tell.
He looks at Lucca. Roboıs quit moving, and she is propped against him, crying.
Magus raises his Scythe, and everyone is gone, but he and his sister. He walks
to her, and pickes her up. She is still breathing, and he leaves this
god-forsaken place for his old home, back in Zeal.
