"she's so beautiful..but why does Crono ignores her? what fool." then Artemis smiles, "wait..if this lasts..and they broke up forever...the Crystal Age never exists!! and that little brat won't exist either...[laughing]"
then Artemis shows a vision of a beautiful queen, looks a lot like Marle as an adult in a white silk dress, "hmm...if this works, i'll get everything i want...and Queen Nadia will finally be mine!!"
they finally found the Temple of Water..
the bricks and the whole temple is made from blue clay and color..a symbol of a Sapphire (blue crystal..)..
"let me guess...this Sapphire is the power of the god or goddess?" said Crono
"bingo." said Uranus, "let's go."
"you mean..YOU'RE going to help us for the whole journey?" said Lucca
"yeah...you'll need my help. there are alot of dangerous monsters and labyrinths in this world." lies Uranus.
they enter the temple...
"?" Crono saw the same small spy spying on them..it ran deep inside the temple.
"hmm.." they look around..
Frog saw carved pictures telling a story, "[croak] 'tis mountain looks like Denadoro Mt. in our world! and 'tis sword...the MasaMune? what temple does this tell?"
"don't know..but it's sure express 'water'." said Robo
they found the altar..
"this is the same writing from the Temple of Fire...This temple is built for 'the god of water and loyalty'. only the 'one wore the power' can reveal its truth.." beeps Robo
"[crying sound]" Crono went to see who is it...
a small boy with brown spiky hair with blue eyes sits there, by himself, "uncle Glenn, please help me..! this bad guys are coming to get me too..."
"uncle..Glenn?" blinked Frog
"hey little boy.." smiles Crono, and went up to him..the boy gasps and stands up, alert. he pull out his small knife from his pocket, "STAY AWAY!!!"
a pendant that looks just like Crono's is hanging on the boy's neck..!
"crono..he have the same pendant as you are!" freaks Lucca
"please...we're not here to hurt you. we came to help." whisper Crono. the boy hesitates, "that's what the bad people from Lavos say!! you all lie to me..even my parents.."
"no way! trust us, kid." said Marle
"..." he stare at Crono, he have the same pendant..., "daddy.." then the boy run and hug Crono..!!
"CRONO!!!" shouts Ayla
"..!" Crono blinks, "who are you? where are you from?"
".." the boy suddenly backs off, "you're not him..not my dad...i am Cronus."
"Cronus? whoa! this world have some WEIRD names!!" said Lucca
"oh shut up, goofy. i am named after the great king of this Crystal Age..my dad!!" murmurs the stubborn boy
"OH I OUGHTA!!!" shouts Marle
"i'm Crono..these are my friends." smiles Crono..
the pendant begins to glow..!!
Frog freakes out as light shines on his whole body..!!
a soul of a handsome man appears..!!
"UNCLE GLENN!!" smiles Cronus.
"Glenn..? then thou art..!!" croaks Frog
"yes, i am YOU." said the soul, "i am the god of water and loyalty. Crono, is so good to see you again lad!!"
"[blinks] ALL RIGHT!!! NOW I'M REALLY CONFUSED!!" blinked Crono
"[laughing] thou'll understand...thanks for freeing me. now it's time to prove your worthyness!!" said the soul, and turns into a monstrous swordman!!
"ICE SWORD!!!!"
"WATER!!!"
"i'll analyze it." beeps Robo..
"this time..HURRY UP ROBO!!!!" shouts Crono, as he wrestles the swordman.., protecting Cronus.
"doing it..!!" beeps Robo
"FIRE KICK!!!!!!" shouts Lucca and Ayla
the swordman push Crono away real hard by his huge arm..and goes after Cronus..!!
"getting it.." beeps Robo
Cronus gasps, don't know what to do..!! the swordman attacks..!!!!
"CRONUS!!!!!!" shouts Crono, and push the small away..
[BOOOMMM!!!!!!]
"CRONO!!!!" gasps Marle
Crono is holding Cronus by his arms, as the swordman attack his back..!!
"..." Cronus was surprised, "crono..!!"
"...[groan] you okay..kid..??" whisper Crono
Cronus's eyes have tears..
"I GOT IT!!!!" beeps Robo, "it's power: 350. weakness: fire."
"THEN LET'S KICK SOME BUTT!!!!" shouts Lucca
"FLARE!!!"
"FIRE 2" said Magus, and attacks
"FIRE KICK!!!!"
the swordman is not harmed much... it leaves Crono and Cronus, and concentrates on Lucca..!!
"stay here, okay?" whisper Crono, and went to help Lucca
"READY LUCCA??!!!"
"ALWAYS, CRONO!!!"
"FIRE......SWORD....20!!!!!!!" shouts both of them...the pendant glows!!!
Lucca blows strong fire on Crono, as he turn into a fire falcon, and hits through the swordman's stomach..!!!!!
the swordman falls down, and dies..
"WE DID IT!!!! WHOO HOO!!!" shouts Lucca
everyone stare at her...
"i mean, hmm...we did it. yeah..?" said Lucca
they all laugh..
"crono.." whisper Cronus, and went to hug him..
"hey, i'm okay..?" smiles Crono..
"..." Marle stare at them, "that boy looks so familiar.."
the swordman turns into Glenn again.., "you're done well as usual, Crono. i guess your fighting skills have become stronger...each of you will gain and learn more stronger attacks as your journey continues...these attacks helps you alot."
"but why? and why does the pendant glows?" blinks Frog
"it is Crono." said the soul
"me?" blinks Crono
"yes. the pendant you're wearing is not just any ordinary object. as you have courage and confident in your heart, your pendant will give you and you can truimph over anything!!"
"but...this pendant?" said Crono, "can you tell me more?"
"no. now the time has come for you accept my power...SAPPHIRE!!!!" shouts the soul, and give crono a Sapphire crystal...
"what happened that makes me back to human??" asks Frog
"you'll find out soon..." said the soul..., "good luck, Crono..and please protect Cronus for me..." and disappears..
"UNCLE GLENN!!!!!" cries Cronus, but he's gone.
"we go now?" said Ayla
they all got out of the temple...
at night, they camped right outside of the temple..
"oh damn bugs!!" murmurs Uranus, as mosquitoes flies everywhere.
"..." Crono turn around, and stare at Cronus, sleeping innocently..
"i wonder where he came from..?" whisper Lucca
"he said he's the son of the king in this time...Cronus must be a prince!" said Frog
"but why is he here? something must've happened in his home..and his parents.." whisper Uranus
"i got that feeling too..and uncle Glenn? that soul is your future self, right Frog?" beeps Robo
"i guess so.." answers Frog, "but thy don't know that lad.."
"whatever it is, are we going to keep him until we find his parents?" said Magus
"..." Crono gets up, "yeah. we are."
"but we hardly know about this kid! he might be one of those Dark Ship spies.." said Marle
"i don't think so...somehow, when we hug, i felt as if i knew him..and i have to protect him no matter what.." whisper Crono
later at night, everyone's asleep, all except Crono...
["my love" from Sailormoon]
he stood there, thinking, "that dream...i can't sleep. it's gonna haunt me again...and what happened here?? what is this 'thing' that cause the time to flow in this world?...[sigh]..and who's my dad..? huh?"
Marle appears, "crono.."
"hey, you're awake?"
"we have to talk."
"again?"
"you don't get it do you??" said Marle, "it's not just a TALK, it's more like..."
"?"
"crono, how much do you love me HONEST?"
"i...love you with all my heart.." Crono is hiding something in his pocket, it's a crystal wedding ring..!, "and i want to know the same thing from you too.."
"i love you alot..even my life. but somehow..i felt as if we're..breaking up."
"what..?"
"is saving world really mean SO MUCH to you??"
"OF COURSE!! both worlds means alot to me. i can't just leave it dead!"
"then what about me, crono???"
"marle.."
"i know that saving the world is important, but what about me?? you hardly take any notice of me anymore..." cries Marle, "ever since the battle we fought against Lavos, we realized we liked each other. but for 2 YEARS, crono, we hardly spend any time together..you have problems, and never talk to me about it..we haven't dated or even kissed or anything...you never said 'i love you' to me at all..or anymore...when something happened to me, you just..go...if you love me, you wouldn't do that, would you??"
"marle, YOU'RE TALKING CRAZY!!"
"you know what you're right...it's just crazy..but crazy enough to be true. maybe we're not suppose to be together. i thought you were the one for me, crono. but i was wrong...all these times this must be just a stupid silly teenager crush.."
"BUT..MARLE.!!!" said Crono, "IT'S MORE THAN A CRUSH!!! MAYBE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO THINK IT IS!!! YOU CAN'T BE SELFISH, MARLE!!"
"I KNOW I CAN'T!!! but if the world means so much to you...that means leaving your own love behind in the darkness...perhaps we should forget all about this....
GOODBYE CRONO."
said Marle, crying. then she runs away..
"FINE BY ME!!!!!" shouts Crono, very upset. he stare at the crystal wedding ring, "she's not the one i thought she is.." then he threw it away..
