Crono follows her shortly after, followed by Lucca. Upon reaching 600 A.D., Crono finds Marle has been mistaken for her ancestor and identified as [[Queen Leene]]. The real Queen, having been kidnapped by [[Magus]]' troops, is still being held captive. Crono speaks with Marle just before she vanishes from existance. After Lucca arrives, she explains to Crono that unless the true queen is rescued, that Marle will cease to exist in the future, thus explaining her disappearance.
