Crono and Frog have entered Door #3...they have been walking in the dark for a very long time. nothing happened...until..
"!!!" crono is surprised.
they found the center or the heart of the Dark Ship...there are huge windows by the wall and very little light..
"[CLAP...CLAP..]"
"!!!!!!" crono turns around, take his sword out, very alert. Frog joins him.
Artemis appears..., "[clap..] well done, crono. i almost underestimated you..you are strong. but not enought to beat the Dark Ship and our Lord!!!"
"ARTEMIS!!! LOWER THOU WEAPON AND GIVE UP THY EVIL WHILE THOU CAN!!" croaks Frog
"GIVE IT UP NOW, ARTEMIS!!! THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN RUN. GIVE UP YOUR EVIL AND I'M SURE YOU CAN BECOME GOOD AGAIN.." said crono
"good..? aahhh...the prince speaks..or should i say, KING crono??" said Artemis, "you are wrong, humans. you do not understand evil, that's why you oppose it. evil gives you unlimited power...and immortality."
"immortality??" whisper a voice, from the shadows..
[magus theme (IT ROCKS!!! :)]
magus appears...
"MAGUS!!!!" smiles crono and frog
"you're...??" blinks Artemis..then he gasps, "I REMEMBER YOU!!! YOU'RE THAT LITTLE KID, JANUS!!!!"
"..." magus lowers his head, "so..you remembered."
"HMM!!!!! i don't care if you're my sister's childhood friend, i kill whoever gets in my way!!!" said Artemis, "ONCE I GOT IMMORTALITY, ME AND MY QUEEN WILL RULE FOREVER!!!"
"tsk..tsk.." magus interrupts him.., "you still don't get it do you..?? you silly people never gets it..nothing..NOTHING lasts forever. you are duped by the evil sister as my mother...no..Queen Zeal once was." then he pushes his cape aside, "history won't repeat again while I'M here!!!"
"what can you do, Janus?? you're still weak." laughs Artemis
"WE CAN!!!" shouts another voice
Lucca, Robo, and Ayla appears.
"ALL RIGHT GUYS!!! YOU MADE IT!!!" smiles crono
"grrr.." artemis gets upset
then crono stares at artemis, "YOU'RE OUTNUMBERED, ARTEMIS!!! GIVE UP NOW, OR NEVER!!!"
"..." magus takes his scythe out, "if a fight you want, even to death, that's what you'll get!!!"
artemis hesitates..then he grins evilly, "COME MY QUEEN!!!"
"queen...?? marle??" gasps crono
marle appears...her beauty even at the dark shadows make her glow like a golden flower..
"marle..!!!" said crono
"THEM AGAIN???" murmurs marle, "let's just kill them before the Lord wakes up!!"
"MARLE!!! DO YOU REMEMBER US???" shouts lucca
"ME AND US FRIENDS!!!" shouts ayla
marle ignores them, "I DON'T HAVE FRIENDS!!! AND I AM NOT MARLE...OH NO...NOT THE 'OLD' AND 'BORING' MARLE...I AM QUEEN OF EVIL!!!"
"MARLE..!!!" shouts crono..frog stopped him, "don't waste thou time. marle was brainwashed by the evil!!"
crono lowers his head, "but there's gotta be a way to bring her back..."
"MARLE...FINISH THEM OFF!!!" orders artemis, and disappears..
they all stood there, face to face against their friend, marle..
"let's rumble.." whisper magus..about to attack
"NO!!!" crono stopped him, "this one is mine."
"..." magus backs off, "you better finish her...or i will!!"
they all back off..leaving crono and marle..
"WHAT DO YOU WANT, SPIKy???" shouts marle
"..." crono step up to her, "marle...it's me, crono..remember?"
"yeah, sure..YOU'RE THAT CRONO THAT SLY TOLD ME ABOUT!!! HOW COULD YOU!!!!" then she touches her scar on her face..very noticable, "[cries] my face...my beauty...it's..it's..gone." then she take her sword out, "YOU!!!! YOU MEN ARE SO SELFISH!! YOU LOVE WOMEN BY THEIR BEAUTY, NOT BY THEIR HEART!!!!! HOW COULD YOU???"
and she attacks..!!!
"MARLE..!!! WAIT..!!!" crono gasped, as she attacks him with her sword..!!!
he grab his sword, and wrestles with hers...!!
"STOP IT MARLE!!!! WE SHOULDN'T FIGHT!!!"
"YOU DID THIS TO ME!!! YOU GAVE ME GRIEF..DESPAIR..PAIN...!!!! I'LL TERMINATE ALL MEN!!!!" then she pushes crono away, real hard..!!
"NO!!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!" shouts crono, avoiding her attacks..!!
"I DO!! I DO NOW. ARTEMIS IS THE ONLY MAN THAT UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN..AND SLY.." then she swings her sword at him..!!!
[SLASH..!!!!!]
"CRONO!!!!" gasps lucca, about to help him...robo stopped her..

"[breathing]" crono kneels down...holding his bleeding arm..
"YAAAAAHHH!!!" marle slashes again..!!!

[SLASH...!!!]
"CRONO!!!" shouts ayla
"CRONO!!!!! STOP IT MARLE!!!" shouts lucca
crono got injured real bad...bleeding every where..!!
"..." marle is real angry, "die..crono..DIE."
crono just stood there..staring at his own love..about to kill him.

"MARLE STOP!!!!!" shouts lucca, "IF YOU REALLY FORGOT ALL ABOUT US, I DON'T CARE. BUT YOU COULDN'T HAVE FORGOTTEN CRONO..???? YOU SAY YOU LOVE HIM WITH YOUR WHOLE LIFE, REMEMBER????"
"lucca.." said robo, trying to stop her saying threatening stuff..
"CRONO LOVES YOU A LOT!!!! I CAN TELL..." cries lucca, "IF YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM, KILL US TOO!!!!"
"..." marle hesitates, and turns upset, "YOU'RE A GIRL YOURSELF LUCCA!!! WHY ARE YOU GOING AGAINST ME??? ALL MEN ARE SELFISH!!!"
"NOT ALL OF THEM!!! i'm a girl myself..i know love. and i know crono." said lucca, "he's different from any boys i've met. he understands true love..!!"
marle stares at crono...
"marle.." crono whispers, "if you want to kill me, go ahead. i won't stop you. but...i'll never hurt you in any way."
"..." marle trembles..
"kill me with your sword...and promise me you will pierce my heart with it.." said crono, ready to die.
marle hesitates...very scared..
Artemis stares at them not far away...
"..." marle drops her sword..!! her eyes are fill with tears..
crono shows her his pendant, "remember this?? you gave it to me so i can hold onto it for you..THIS is what brought us together, the whole adventure."
"..." marle cries, and hugs him.., "OH CRONO..!!!!"
lucca smiles, "she's back..!!!"
"MARLE GOOD AGAIN!!!" shouts ayla
"..." magus gasps, "this feeling..." he look at marle and crono, then lucca and her friends, cheering for their two friends.., "..can it be??! are they destined to be together..?? and marle..she's seem to have some connection to the Entity..??"
Artemis appears....
"[gasps] ARTEMIS!!!" shouts crono, gets up, ready to fight..
"so it's true.." Artemis lowers his head, "you can't change fate..you two do belong together."
"artemis..i'm sorry." whisper marle, then she cries, "i'm sorry crono..i have to leave you..i made a pact with Artemis that i must be with him FOREVER.."
"..." artmemis lower his head, and tears the contract..!!
"ARTEMIS, WHY..???"
he smiles, "you two belong together..no matter how i hard i try to change the past..how hard i try to win your love, you're heart is with crono..always."
