"HISSSS!!!!!" hisses Sly, real angry. she keep throwing stuff around
"hey, calm down Sly!!! you're wrecking the whole ship!!!" freaks Rash
"SO WHAT???!!! NO ONE WANTS ME ANYMORE...EVEN CRONO.." Sly kneels down, and cries, "WHY??? WHY HER?? IT'S SO UNFAIR!!!!!"
"well, if you stop all that make up and try to act nicely, maybe just MAYBE someone will turn to you." laugh Rash
"SHUT UP!!!" hisses sly, "she'll pay for this!! i have to find out what crono wants in a girl...her beauty? or her heart.."
Crono and his friends are walking to the next temple..
"hey, who do you think it's next?" said Lucca
"next what?" blinks crono
"ya know, the 'future' self??" said Marle
"hmm...[croak] i myself was discovered and battled...lucca was too...and robo. that leaves crono, marle, and magus." said Frog
"what about Uranus?" asks Marle
"i don't think so.." said crono, "she's different from us.."
"i agree. where did she learn magic 'Wind'??? i mean, she's more than a normal girl from this land, right?" whisper Lucca
"YOU ALL SO DUMB!!! of course she's different!!! she's not one of us, so she doesn't have a temple!! besides, if she is really from here, why a temple for her??? she's just a normal citizen!!" murmurs Cronus
"WE KNOW, CRONUS. WHY DO WE HAVE TO HEAR FROM YOU EVERY SINGLE MINUTE!!!!" shouts crono
"cuz i'm smart, and you're DUMB."
"YOU'RE DUMBER!!!"
"DUMBEST!!!"
"DUMBEST...UH...DUMBEST-EST!!!!" freaks crono
"? huh?" Cronus wonders, "what's that word?? i never heard of it!!"
"WELL..IT'S NEW!!!" said crono
"ya right, you're so bad in grammar aren't ya?!"
"!!!!!!" freaks crono, "i don't have to take this!!" then he ignores cronus
"HA!!! LOSER..!!" smiles cronus
"ME??? LOSE TO A SMALL TWERT LIKE YOU???" freaks crono, and they continue to argue
"[sigh] how embarrassing..!" sighs Frog
"..." Magus stopped for a minute, and turns around..
"what's wrong, Magus??" asks Robo
"..." Magus know someone or something is out there, following them, "...nothing.."
then he turns back around, and join his allies.
X stood there, staring at them..
"MAN!!! IS THIS IT???" freaks crono
the temple is dark and spooky, colored...black and purple. the picture of a 'Dark-Purple' crystal is carved everywhere...(i don't know the name!!)
"let me guess...this is your temple, Magus?" said crono
"you can tell for sure..it's spooky." trembles marle
"don't worry, marle!! we'll go in TOGETHER." smiles crono. marle blushes
"PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME PUKE!!!!! HELLO??? KID HERE!!!! NO KISSY KISSY???" shouts Cronus, "this is the temple for 'the god of shadow and death'. it is like the guide to the Underworld."
"Magus?? god of death??" blinks Uranus
"well that explains everything." smiles Frog
"..." Magus went in.
inside the altar stood there..
"use your pendant crono." said Marle
"WAIT." said a familiar voice, from the shadows...it's X.
"X??!!! WHAT..??"
"it's no use if you use the pendant in this temple.." said X, then he unmasked himself... IT'S MAGUS!!!! uh...kinda. but this one looks very cool. he have 2 spiky hair that comes down from his forehead, his skin is NOT pale, and his ears...NOT pointy!!
"WHOA!!!!! THAT'S MAGUS????" freaks crono, "BUT THIS ONE LOOKS..SO...HUMAN!!!!"
"WHAT HAPPENED???" freaks Frog
Uranus blushes...X looks as if he grew up, NEVER met Ozzie. he looks just like Janus, as an adult..
"Janus.." whisper Uranus, blushing
"WHOA??!!! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???" freak crono, "NO...let me guess..an alien captured the YOUNG magus and force him into THIS magus, right???"
"[laughing] wrong." smiles X, "i am the future self, Janus...or Magus. i am the god of shadow and death."
"wait..you mean YOU WERE ACTUALLY X???" freaks Marle
"yes.."
"but didn't you tell us earlier???"
"sorry..i have to hide my identity..until now." said X, "before we battle, let me tell a true story..of what really happened to this Golden Land..and its history..
....long ago, you remember the war the king had against the Great Lavos, and the king send his young son to Earth?? later on, the son grew strong and matures..he continues to practice his fighting skills he learned from his dad...and his dad before him. but the sad news is, the boy doesn't remember his past of the Golden Land. his memory was completely erased. The good twin sister of the Entity who pities the king and his son...transform the 'thing' into a Red Rock, and send it all the way through time..in Earth, 65 million B.C. she wants to hide it from her other sister, who wanted it real bad so she can control time and space. as time moves on...the rock which is created into the 'thing' was passed on safely for generations..until the year 1000 A.D. that's when the boy, the son of the king, is strong enough to battle evil...."
"..." Crono thinks for a while..
"...in the future, the young boy and his friends who were destined to help the boy in his journey to peace, came to the Golden Land, and destroy the Great Lavos for revenge. then the boy went after the evil sister, but she escaped...out of the Golden Land..and far away from the galaxy..never to return. later after a few years, the boy grew into a man. he decides to bring peace back to the Golden Land..and to Earth. his friends helped him...they cultivated the land together which brings new life....the goddess of fire and knowledge spreads her knowledge all over the land...the god of water spreads his water and creates rivers, oceans, and seas for life...the god of technology spreads his ideas to life...the goddess of strength gave power to the important life....the god of death spreads the balance of life and death...the goddess of ice and healing spreads her healing and medicine to life...and finally, the god of lightning and life spreads life around the world..and the peace."
"why called god?? are they real?" blinks Ayla
"they were actually human, as you are, but in the future form, where you all will become stronger or TRIPLE as strong as you are now!! because of their deed and cultivated the old Golden Land, to a beautiful new land, they were worshipped for thanks as gods and goddesses." said X, "after life rules, the god of lightning and life, or the leader of the group, marries his girlfriend, the goddess of ice and healing, and together, as king and queen, they rule this new land, or the Crystal Age, because of its prosperous and that the land is revived again..the royal couple was very happy together and were very much in love, so they had a son, named Cronus...or YOU, my prince."
"WHAT???!!!" freaks Crono, "SO IT IS TRUE??? CRONUS IS REALLY A PRINCE???"
"HA!!! DON'T MESS WITH ME, OR I'LL EXECUTE YOU!!" laughs Cronus
"but the happiness and peace did not last...the escaped evil sister came back, for revenge. she created another Great Lavos, but stronger this time...luckily, the monster is still a baby..but it won't be for long. it grows fast, as long as there are life energy around. the sister then went and destroy this kingdom. her power was unimaginable, for she is the Entity, as strong as the 'thing' that the king wears. the battle took many months...and we're losing too many lives each day. the sister's wish is to have the 'thing', and the Star Ruby, which is the most powerful weapon in this universe. she wants to use the ruby to rule time..and the WHOLE UNIVERSE!" explains X.
"THEN WHAT HAPPENED???" said Marle
"i don't know...we, the guardians of the Star Ruby, won't tell that evil sister where the 'thing' is, for we really don't know...all except our leader, the king and the queen. we can't betray them!! so we took the price for it. all of us were imprisoned in our temples..never to be free until the 'thing' shows up, to free us. if we tried to break out, we will die...our souls vanish in thin air.." said X, and stare at Cronus, "i'm so happy to see you my prince!! i thought something happened to you...you're the one who had it!!"
"IT??? YOU MEAN THE PENDANT??" blinks Robo
"so...all these times...this 'thing' must be the pendant, right??" said Lucca
"correct as usual." smiles X, "i didn't know you all will make it this far..i know your true power. we don't need to fight, for that you are strong, crono. i believe in you.....here, take my power!!"
then X give Crono his purple crystal..!!
"so are you going to help us fight this..sister??" asks Crono
"no. i can't.."
"wait a min..you say that if you break out of the temple...you die." said Cronus, "JANUS..!! YOU..!!"
"yes, my prince..i am." nods X, "i was near death..i struggles to stay alive..until the time comes..that i can tell you chosen ones the story.."
"...X.." whisper Crono
X saw Magus, "my old self...it's like staring at a mirror..but i look different then..i know you want to find Schala, right??"
"you..?" said magus, "know where she is??"
"yes...i'll show her to you.." whisper X..then disappears..
[A BRIGHT LIGHT SHINES..!!!!]
"!!!" Magus ignores the light..
"janus.." whisper a soft voice..
"..[gasp]" magus opens his eyes wide, "SCHALA??? IS IT YOU??"
the view became clear.. Schala stood there, next to him..
"SCHALA!!!" magus run to her, and hug her...., "huh?"
but he can't.
her body..is like wind..!!
"schala...no.." whisper magus, "you felt..as cold as death..!! you can't be..!!"
"i'm sorry, Janus.."
"you knew that i was..your brother?"
"of course. everyone know its friend or relative by the first feeling you have for him/her. that first feeling..is always right..and it's true." whisper Schala, and lowers her head, "i know that Lavos and our mother was no good! but i keep lying to my own feelings..."
"schala..what happened?"
"remember the fall of the Ocean Palace?"
"yeah.."
"i was about to make it..i was almost out of that place before it falls on me.."
"but..?"
"it's her."
"who? mother..?" said Magus, very excited
"no...this tall woman..she said that she's the 'mask of the Entity'...she pushed me back...won't let me out..!!" cries Schala, "my magic was no use..! she's too strong. i couldn't get out..."
"no...the evil sister.."
"but luckily, your future self found me before the war in the Crystal Age. he found me..as a ghost. i was so restless those days..i thought something happened!! but now..you're okay. i can finally rests.."
"BUT SCHALA!!! I NEED YOU..!!!"
"no you don't. i know there are more than one reason to live, Janus.."
"then will we meet again??"
"..." smiles Schala, "i lives in your heart, Janus. as long as it beats, i'm there for you..." then she touches his pale arm, "you look so different, Janus..you really suffered alot without me..but you must live, not for me, but for yourself. you must discover life, and the beauty of it. you must never give up.."
"how..? i don't know..sister.."
"my last wish before i die is to find my brother..the REAL you. i want to change you back..before you met Ozzie..before you suffered..before you're Magus." then Schala starts her magic on Magus..!!
[BRIGHT LIGHT..!!!!]
"SCHALA DON'T GO!!!" shouts magus
"i won't..i live in your heart, my little brother..!! please take good care of yourself..and passes the pendant on for generations for me..!!" said Schala, her last words.., "good bye.."
"SCHALA!!!!! NO!!!!!" shouts magus...but she's gone..
"magus..?" whisper Uranus
"..." magus holds Schala's pendant, "i promise, schala.." then he put it away..
he turns around..
"WHOA!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO YA/???" freaks crono
magus looks...very human!! he looks like X, but much younger. his red fiery eyes turns blue..like he was..as Janus.
"YOU...!!! YOU LOOK SO...!!!" freaks Marle
"cool...and handsome." said Lucca
".." blinks Uranus, and blushes, "janus..?"
"whoa..i can't believe Schala was actually killed..not by accident, but that..NO GOOD DAUGHTER OF A...!!!!" shouts crono
"HEY!!! DO YA MIND?? I'M A GROWING AND LEARNING KID!!" shouts Cronus
".." magus stare at himself.., "how strange..?"
"like the new look?" said X, and appears again, "before i die..i have give you the last advice... if you keep going at North, you'll find the Crystal Castle. don't be alarmed. it's not a temple, but that's where the last 2 god and goddess was trapped inside. you can't get in, because of it's powerful barrier made from the sister. you need the pendant.." then X fades away, "good luck heroes...the future depends on you now..."
"X!!! WAIT!!!" shouts crono..but he's gone.
"how sad..he risked his life to help us.." whisper Marle
later at night, they camped near the castle..
[just a memory away--sailormoon]
they're all sleeping...crono sleeping like a pig, take all the space..
[SNORING..]
"no...i wanna.." murmurs crono, sleeping, "i wanna have fun...no work...no fight.."
"..." magus woke up, and walks away.
he stare at the moon, and hold out his amulet..,"all these times...i lived only for my dear sister. but she's just gone.." then he hold on tight in the amulet, real upset, "so what am i living for??!! all these years..i lived for nothing!!" then he throws away his amulet, that he kept for years...as hope.
"no, you lived for something...or someone." whisper a girl voice, as she grab the amulet from the ground, "if you don't believe in hope, you shouldn't live at all..this amulet is your hope." then she shows him a..seed, "this is my hope."
"you're..!!" freakes Magus...as he remembers..
....at the kingdom of zeal (before it collapsed), a small girl cries..."HEY!! YOU DON'T HAVE MAGIC!! WHY DON'T YOU GET OUTTA HERE EARTHBOUND??" shouts the bully. the small girl keep on crying..."LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" shouts Janus, come to her rescue. the bully runs away. Janus stare at the girl, "you don't look like you have magic at all..! are you really an Earthbound?" "i don't know..i was lost from my brother.." whisper the girl. "how sickening!!" said Janus, and walks away...then stopped. he sighs, "ALL RIGHT!! STOP YOUR CRYING!!! i hate seeing a girl cries..you reminds me of Schala. i'll bring you home, okay?" "thanks.." "by the way, i'm Janus, the prince of Zeal!! my sister say i will have magic, WAY STRONGER THAN ANYBODY HERE!!!" "i'm Uranus..that's what everyone calls me most.." said the girl. they wander around...and played for awhile..then Uranus slipped..! Janus too. they fell down.."huh?" Janus picked up a silver key from the dirt..!!(Silver key of Friendship) "THERE YOU ARE!!" said a man." BROTHER!!" smiles Uranus. "you're going, right? are you..coming back to play?" whisper janus. uranus shows him a seed, "as long as this seed grows, so will our friendship!!" then she kisses him in the cheek..and run to her brother....
"..." magus lowers his head, "you're really her, huh?"
"yes..ever since i was home, i was searching for every info about the kingdom and you, but there was no record about it..sadly." then she smiles, "but you're here!! you're alive!! i'm so glad.."
"you mean...you've cared??" said magus, very curious.
"OF COURSE!!" smiles Uranus, "i thought you were dead...i've missed you so much.." then Uranus hugs him..!!
magus was surprised..then he let it go.
"but where were you during those times...? where were you from?" asks Magus..
