===Story===
The story of Chrono Cross begins with [[Serge]], who must collect [[Komodo Scale|komodo dragon scales]] on the beach for his friend [[Leena]]. The setting is [[El Nido]], a tropical archipelago inhabited by ancient natives, mainland colonists, and beings called Demi-humans who are often prejudiced against. While meeting his friend, [[Serge]] slips into an alternate dimension in which he drowned on the beach ten years prior. While searching for truth behind his supposed death, [[Serge]] meets a thief from the infamous group called Radical Dreamers, [[Kid]], who is intent on finding the mysterious [[Frozen Flame]]. [[Serge]] joins her search, and they recruit help and infiltrate [[Viper Manor]], rumored to host the artifact. [[Viper Manor]] is home to the [[Acacia Dragoons]]—the combative, affluent, and revered protectors of the island. While in the manor's library, a mysterious old man known as the prophet of time reveals that ten years before the present, the universe split into two dimensions—one in which [[Serge]] lived (''Home'' world), and one in which he perished (''Another'' world). The shadowy antagonist, [[Lynx]] (or Yamaneko in the Japanese version), foils the break-in, poisoning [[Kid]] and causing the would-be thieves to flee.
The story of Chrono Cross begins with [[Serge]], who must collect [[Komodo Scale|komodo dragon scales]] on the beach for his friend [[Leena]]. The setting is [[El Nido]], a tropical archipelago inhabited by ancient natives, mainland colonists, and beings called [[Demi-human]]s who are often prejudiced against. While meeting his friend, [[Serge]] slips into an alternate dimension in which he drowned on the beach ten years prior. While searching for truth behind his supposed death, [[Serge]] meets a thief from the infamous group called Radical Dreamers, [[Kid]], who is intent on finding the mysterious [[Frozen Flame]]. [[Serge]] joins her search, and they recruit help and infiltrate [[Viper Manor]], rumored to host the artifact. [[Viper Manor]] is home to the [[Acacia Dragoons]]—the combative, affluent, and revered protectors of the island. While in the manor's library, a mysterious old man known as the prophet of time reveals that ten years before the present, the universe split into two dimensions—one in which [[Serge]] lived (''Home'' world), and one in which he perished (''Another'' world). The shadowy antagonist, [[Lynx]] (or Yamaneko in the Japanese version), foils the break-in, poisoning [[Kid]] and causing the would-be thieves to flee.


[[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.
