"HISSS!!!! I'LL GET YOU THIS TIME LITTLE CRONUS!!!!" hisses Sly..

Cronus trembles...

"give us the pendant, little boy. you're too young handle its powers..." said Artemis, staring at Cronus by the eye...

crono shakes his head, and very angry, and took his sword out, "YOU'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING FROM HIM!!!!!"

"...huh?" Artemis is surprised. they all take their weapons out, and joins crono..

"so..you want a fight?" said Artemis, "you don't stand a chance." then he took his sword out, "let's finish you nosy brats off!!!!"

"MY PLEASURE!!!!" roars Rash..

"CRONO!!!! TAKE CRONUS AWAY FROM HERE!!!!" shouts Magus

"YES WE'RE SURE, IDIOT!!!! LET'S MOVE IT..NOW!!!!" shouts magus, as he attacks Rash..

"..." crono runs to cronus, and take him away..

"WHERE'S MARLE???" shouts lucca, as she shoots at Sly..

"....whatever you say..BROTHER.."

"HEY?? CUT THE DRAMA AND TO THE FIGHTING, HUH???" shouts Sly

"NOT THAT FAST, YOU F*CKER!!!!! (oh yeah..it's rated 13..kinda??)" shouts crono, and step up to them..cronus is hiding..

"CRONO!!!! WHERE'S CRONUS??" said Frog

"he's safe..." said crono, and take his sword out, "you're not hurting anyone else..!!!"

"OH YEAH??? SAYS WHO???" laughs Rash 

"oh great timing!!!" laughs Artemis, "come here, my queen!!"

"queen?" blinks Uranus

marle appears...but she's different. she wears dark and purple dress..

"marle..?" whisper crono

"I'M NOT MARLE. I'M QUEEN NADIA, OF ALL EVIL!!!!" said marle

"she's now mine, crono!!!!" laughs artemis

"your face...it's scarred?"

"so you did noticed??" said marle, "all these times you love me by my beauty, wasn't it???"

"NO MARLE!! THAT'S NOT..!!!"

"KILL THEM, ARTEMIS!!!" said marle

artemis throws the ball of energy to them..!!!

"let's go now dear.." laughs artemis..and disappears. Sly, Rash, and marle joins him...

"USE YOUR PENDANT, CRONO!!!!" shouts the king..

crono raises his pendant...it glows..!!!

"PLEASE PENDANT...GIVE ME THE POWER TO DESTROY THIS ENERGY BALL!!!!!"

the power from the pendant shoots straight at the ball of energy..!!!

"IT'S TOO WEAK!!! WE NEED MORE POWER!!!" shouts robo

cronus nods, "PENDANT...GIVE ME POWER!!!!!"

"CRONUS!!" gasps everyone..

"cronus.." smiles crono

but it's still too weak...

"FALCON WIND ATTACK!!!!!!" shouts Uranus, and her falcon, like a comet, shoots straight at the energy..!!!

"PENDANT....GIVE US POWER!!!" shouts crono, as the pendant gets stronger...!!!

....

[KAAAARRRRRRRRRBRRRRROOOMMMMMMMMMMM]


crono and his friends lay on their knees..breathing..

"we did it.." whisper lucca

"..yeah..we did, didn't we..?" smiles crono, and stare at cronus, "we destroy the energy..and saved our butts, huh??"

cronus smiles..

"you did great, warriors." smiles the queen

"..warriors??" blinks lucca, "i like the ring of that...WARRIORS."

"i know we can have faith in you, crono, and always will.." said the king, and stare at cronus, "..you too, my son.."

"so they were the ones you will have to face..?" said the queen, "they look tough..but remember, no matter how difficult times can come..NEVER GIVE UP.  even if emotions are in the way.."

"you have proven that you are the chosen one to the legendary Star Ruby." said the king, "it's been centuries or thousands of years since it was touched...but it's time.  here..take these.."

they give crono a Aquamarine (blue crystal) and a Diamond (what do you think??)..

"use these crystals in front of the Star Ruby's gate..and your pendant." said the king, "we wish to help you in battle against these monsters..but we couldn't. now the world depends on you, crono.."

and they disappears....

"MOM!!! DAD!!!!" shouts cronus..crying. but they're gone..

"cronus.." whisper crono..he turns around, tears rolling from his cheeks..and hugs him.!!!

"it's okay..cronus. we'll protect you.." smiles crono

"they sure get along FAST!!" laughs lucca

Uranus stood there, and walks away...

"WAIT!!!" calls Frog, "thou art...SHADE???"

"..." uranus turns into her true form..

"!!!!" freaks everyone..magus gasps

"yes, i am, Frog. i am Shade, princess of evil, sister of Artemis..and prisoner of the Lord.." whisper uranus, "....long ago, after the Great Lavos is destroyed..the sister created another lavos..THAT same lavos is our Lord..or that's what we call her..she is the mother of all lavos...including the lavos in your planet, Earth."

then uranus lower her head, "IT WAS TERRIBLE!!! remember the battle you had against lavos in the year 1999??? that's where me and my brother lived...THAT'S OUR TIME."

"WHAAAA???!!!"

"after lavos is gone..we were suddenly sucked into a time gate by the evil sister..and to the year 12000 B.C., where lavos's power is draining away in the Mammon machine...i was still little, not knowing what's going on...but all this time, my brother knows everything about lavos's power!!! he wishes to rule all, HE WANTS POWER!!! that time period..that Dark Age, taught Artemis about lavos..about his power..and influenced him as to Janus' mother. later, we joined the evil and swore to help the new Great Lavos to grow..by using life energy!!! IT WAS HORRIFYING!!! I COULDN'T DO IT!!!! but i had to stand by my own brother...but he's changing..i know it." then she turns to crono, "i lied to Artemis that i disquised myself as Uranus, so i can get your Star Ruby and pendant, crono!! but that was LIE. all i want..no..WISH, is to destroy the Great Lavos, and get my life back.  i didn't know this will happen..that my own brother affect the future greatly to this innocent world..by helping the Great Lavos and the sister.."

"so it was nothing but a lie.." whisper magus

"..." uranus walks away, "but no matter what happens, i swore my life to my brother..side by side.  i can't go against him.."

"BUT YOU CAN HELP US!!!"

"sorry..he's still my brother.." said uranus..

"that's what my sister said.." whisper magus, "but she's gone. because of our mother..duped by Lavos as you're own brother!!"

"..." uranus, "sorry.."

and she's disappears..
