===Story===

[[Kid]] eventually recuperates, and [[Serge]] prepares to journey to [[Fort Dragonia]], an ancient ruin left by Dragonians, a mysterious race gone extinct a hundred years before. There, the [[Acacia Dragoons]] intend to make a stand against an invading continental army of [[Porre]]. While preparing, [[Serge]] gains the ability to travel between the dimensions and secure further assistance and items, including the Water Dragon's breath, capable of freezing lava. He attempts to voyage by boat to the fort's shores, but is interrupted by the pirate [[Fargo]]. Initially imprisoned, [[Serge]] is freed when the ship comes under attack from ghosts. After earning [[Fargo]]'s respect, [[Serge]] enters the fort and ascends to its highest floor. Through the use of a Dragonian artifact called the ''[[Dragon Tear]]'', [[Lynx]] switches bodies with [[Serge]]. Unknowing of the switch, [[Kid]] confides in [[Lynx]]; he stabs her as the real [[Serge]] helplessly watches. [[Lynx]] boasts of his victory and banishes [[Serge]] to a strange realm called the ''Temporal Vortex''. He takes [[Kid]] under his wing, brainwashing her to believe the real [[Serge]] (in Lynx's body) is her enemy.

Serge escapes with help from [[Harle]]. Discovering that his new body prevents him from traveling across the dimensions, he is marooned in ''Home'' world. He sets out to regain his former body and learn more of the universal split that occurred ten years earlier. He speaks with his mother and recruits new members to his cause. Hearing that a Demi-human sage confined on a cruise ship may be able to help him, he journeys to the ''S.S. Zelbess''. He gains the sage's favor, and is given an artifact that allows access to the Dead Sea, a mysterious body of water. While attempting to enter, he discovers the evil sword ''Masamune'' and must counter it with the holy sword ''[[Einlanzer]]''. Once inside the Dead Sea, he finds a wasteland frozen in time, dotted with futuristic ruins. At the center, he locates a man named [[Miguel]] and presumably ''Home'' world's Frozen Flame. Charged with guarding the Dead Sea by an entity named [[FATE]], [[Miguel]] unsuccessfully battles [[Serge]]. To prevent [[Serge]] from obtaining the Frozen Flame, [[FATE]] destroys the Dead Sea. Still in [[Lynx]]'s body, [[Serge]] is rescued by the [[Sky Dragon]], one of six mythical entities that inhabit El Nido.

==Sequels==

There is no planned continuation of the ''Chrono'' series. In 2001, [[Hironobu Sakaguchi]] revealed that the company's staff wanted to develop a new game and were discussing script ideas. Though Kato was interested in a new title, the project had not been greenlighted. Square then registered a trademark for [[Chrono Break]] (Chrono Brake in Japan) in the United States, causing speculation concerning a new sequel. Nothing materialized, and the trademark was dropped in the US on November 13, 2003, though it still stands in Japan. Hope continues for a new game, as Kato recently returned to work on {{w|Dawn of Mana}} and [[wikipedia:Children of Mana|Children of Mana]]. Mitsuda also expressed interest in scoring a new Chrono series game.
