Crono: Difference between revisions

In [[Present]], [[Crono's Mother]] wakes Crono up and mentions that [[Lucca]] is waiting for him at [[Leene Square]] where the [[Millennial Fair]] is taking place. Crono heads over there where he bumps into a girl named [[Marle]]. He helps her up and gives her back her [[pendant]], where they then participate in some of the fair's activities. Soon, it is announced that [[Lucca]]'s invention is complete, so they go to see what it is.  

Crono comes out of the portal and appears in [[Truce Canyon]] and confronts a variety of enemies. He eventually comes out of the canyon and finds himself in Truce with different residents and buildings. He makes his way to [[Guardia Forest]] and reaches [[Guardia Castle]]. At the castle, he is confronted by some soldiers who tease him about his clothes and build, though they are stopped by [[Queen Leene]] who says Crono is her friend. She goes to the top of the castle where Crono meets her and finds out that "Queen Leene" is actually Marle. She says that she is glad Crono came for her, but then something happens to her. She feels as though she's being "torn apart" and that it is like she is dying. As Crono tries to save her, she disappears.  

Crono and Lucca exit the castle and head through Guardia Forest and make their way to [[Manolia Cathedral]]. Nuns are praying in the cathedral. Crono finds a hairpin one the floor, which Lucca recognizes as Guardia's royal crest. The nuns then turn into [[Naga]]s and fight Crono and Lucca, which the duo defeat. However, another Naga appears and attacks Lucca, at which a frog appears out of nowhere and slays the Naga. The frog explains that the fiends' lair is ahead and that he would like them to accompany him to save the Queen. They decide to go with the frog, and when Lucca asks his name, he says [[Frog]] will suffice.  

Some time later, Crono is put on trial in the castle's courtroom. The Chancellor serves as prosecutor, while [[Pierre (Chrono Trigger)|Pierre]] represents the defense. Crono is charged with the abduction of Princess Nadia. People are brought in from the fair who interacted with Crono and Marle as well as people hired by the Chancellor to falsely testify against Crono. Eventually, Crono is guilty or not guilty depending on what he did at the fair, though if he is found not guilty he is sentenced three days of solitary confinement as punishment for aiding Marle in her flight from the castle.  

The three come out of the Gate in an steel room, which Lucca comments the civilization they are in seems pretty advanced. They exit the room and are outside in a destroyed world with a fierce wind always blowing in the year [[2300 AD]]. They explore the nearby [[Trann Dome]] which hosts a small community of humans. They then go north through [[Site 16]] fighting various monsters and eventually reach the [[Arris Dome]].  

At the Arris Dome, they meet an old man surprised to hear they went through Site 16, who says his name is [[Doan]]. The three enter the dome's basement, which Doan says they have tried previously but have always met with failure. In the basement, a large machine known as [[Guardian]] and two [[Pod]]s. They defeat the machine and find a room full of rotten food due to a failure in the refrigeration. They find a dead body holding a seed, which they take. They go back a room and catch a rat that tells them how to activate a swtich. They activate the switch and enter a new passageway that opened. Inside is a supercomputer which Lucca activates. A map appears which points to the next destination, the [[Proto Dome]]. Marle presses a button nearby which shows brief footage of the "Day of [[Lavos]]" in [[1999 AD]]. In the video, a large creature comes out of the ground, resulting in destruction raining all across the world.  

Upon seeing the video, they realize that Lavos destroyed the world in 1999 AD and what they see in 2300 AD is what remains of it. Marle, Lucca, and Crono vow to change history and prevent the world from being destroyed.  

The four arrive at odd location, standing on top of a pillar of light. They walk through it and find an old man. Lucca asks where they are, to which the old man says that it is not a question of where so much as when. He says that they are at the [[End of Time]] where Travelers lost in time's flow turn up. He goes on to say that when four or more entities of varying origins enter a temporal rift together, the torsion exerted on time's flow pushes them to the point of least resistance, which is the End of Time. He says that there have been a number of folks turning up here unintended recently like yourselves and fears that something is having a powerful effect on the very fabric of time. He goes on to say that there are roads at the End of Time to any time they could ever wish to visit, allowing them to call upon their friends at any time. However, they cannot travel in groups of more than three. So Crono leaves behind either Robo, Marle, or Lucca and carries on with the other two.  

*In the FMVs for the Chrono Trigger remake on the Playstation, Crono is noted by fans to resemble [[wikipedia: Son Goku|Goku]] from [[wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]]. This is because Crono is designed by Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragonball Z.
