sends individuals from one station to another throughout this age La Voz continues to feast upon their sin ergy below the surface and most people are completely unaware of this existence the only ones who suggest otherwise are the inhabitants of Medina descendants of the Mystics who allege that La Voz will eventually come and destroy the world many centuries pass and humans make technological

inside when he reaches the Queen's room he sees her again and the Queen admits to be morrow just as she thanks chrono for coming to rescue her she panics and suddenly disappears as Corona leaves the castle he finds Luca who ventured through the gate to reach the same timeframe she explains that marl is actually princess Nadia of Guardian and that queen lien of 600 AD is one of her ancestors according to Luca the people of Gardea must have mistaken marl for the queen of their time due to her assemblance because queen lien has been kidnapped and endangered in the Middle Ages maro has simply ceased to exist to rectify this and save morrow chrono and Luca must also save Queen lien from current predicament chrono and Luca head west to the Cathedral where they find some nuts after

realizes her true identity has been exposed she apologizes to chrono for misleading him saying she only did so because she thought chronal wouldn't have shown her around the fair otherwise the three agree to head back to their own age so they head out of the castle on the way Queen Lina admits that morrow could really be her twin frog professes that it was his fault that the Queen went missing but compliments chrono skill as a swordsman heading back to truce Canyon the group reaches the portal that sent them to the Middle Ages Luca reveals that she's created a gate key which allows the team

as Chronos lawyer the Chancellor purports that chronal kidnapped Nadia and endangered the kingdom however Pierre can test this and claims Crona was only attempting to help the princess after being presented with a series of events that transpired as chrono and marl met the jurors are to determine Chronos fate depending on the player series of actions and answers to questions Crona will be judged guilty or not guilty even if a not guilty verdict is returned it is determined that Corona will be thrown into solitary confinement the Chancellor takes chrono to Gardea prison where he tells

sky destroying most life on the planet and the team realizes that la voz is the force that is destroying the world marl can barely come to grips with the reality that the three are in the future however she urges Luca and chrono to do whatever possible to change history to prevent the catastrophe much like they did in the Middle Ages after the three friends agree Lucas suggests doing research on la voz in the present by way of the game in the proto dome as they return to the upper level the human swarm the group impressed that they made it back even though they found no food marl explains

four go through the previously sealed door and used the gate key to enter the gate however instead of throwing them back to 1080 they end up at the end of time an area where time has no effect there they find an old man near a light post he explains that all travelers lost to time end up there and that recent space-time disturbances have led many to arrive at the end of time going forward only

seek Melchior out when they returned to Melchior in 1080 he has shown the broken Masamune when asked why his name is engraved upon it he confesses that it's a long story however he says that it might

ila doesn't seem to understand nonetheless she invites the party to her nearby village of Ayoka where she says they will eat and celebrate when Lucas says they're looking for dream stone she implies that it can be found in Nyoka after arriving there ila brings the group to a tribal party following a brief dance session ila explains that the humans of Ayoka and laruby are engaged in a war with the rep types who are led by as Allah she then shows chronal the dream stone which she possesses as a strongest human of her village if chronal can beat her in a race to drink the most Jurassic pork soup

sword when it is finished Luka hoisted into the air Melchior comments on the considerable power of the blade saying it may either save or destroy life the group travels back to 680 and hands the legendary sword to frog although he is absolutely stunned to see the recraft and Masamune frog is still reluctant to use it as he ponders doing so during the night he reflects upon his past where he and Cyrus ventured to the den adoro mountains to find the blade ten years ago he relives the memory of Cyrus's death at the hands of Magus and it caused his inability to challenge the sorcerer the
