Battle of the Strongest by ssjgokux
Here is a new story separate from "when heroes meet" This one will have more action than the other. I hope you enjoy this. Now on with the story!
At the end of time, Gasper, the guru of time was watching two separate time lines. In one was a boy whom he knows well. His name is Crono. A valient boy who sacrificed his own life to save his world from Lavos. In the other was a man that puzzled him. From what Gasper learned, his name is Cloud Strife. He had to go through great pain to save his world from a man called Sephiroth. "These two are clearly the most powerful of their time. I wounder which is stronger?" Gasper raised his hands and did a short chant that created a portal beneath both Crono and Cloud and they both fell in and the portals closed. Gasper smiled to himself. "part one is done. Now I hope the rest fall into place."
Crono awoke in a forest. "Man... Where and when am I?" asked Crono as he took in his surroundings. "I thought all time gates were gone." He got up and started to explore the area. "There must be someone around here." Commented Crono. He then saw a man, older than him across a river. "Hey!" Crono yelled as he started to run toward him.
Cloud was standing where he awoke. "What happened?" He asked himself. "Where did that portal come from?" He looked around to find that he was in a forest, next to a river. "Hey!" Cloud hears a voice behind him. He turns around to see a teenage boy, about 16, running up to him. "Who is this guy?" he woundered as the boy reached him.
Crono reached up to the man. "excuse me. Do you know what land this is?" He asked the man who shruged. "I don't have a clue." He replied. "All I know is that I was minding my own business when a portal..." "A portal?" Crono cut in. he turned from the man. "Are the time gates active again?" He asked himself. "What" The man asked. "Do you know about this?" "Yes I do replied Crono. The man unsheathed his sword which was bigger than himself. "You must have done this!" The man yelled as he charged at Crono, who jumped out of the way as he choped a tree where Crono was. Crono then unsheathed his katana. "Who are you?" "The name is Cloud." That's all he said as he charged at Crono again. He evaded the attack. "My name is Crono."
"Thsi is going to be easy!" Cloud thought as he swung his sword at Crono who brought his to meet Cloud's. For every attack Cloud could think of Crono has dodge, blocked, or parried with great speed. Cloud jumped back a little out of breath. "Man... This guy is good. This might be harder than I thought." Just then Crono's sword started to glow white. "What is this?" Before Cloud could do anything Crono swung his blade and hit Cloud with a bolt of energy causing him to go flying into a tree. Cloud stood himself up. "Oh..... You want to play rough huh?" He copied what Crono did but his attack was more intense that when it hit Crono he fell to his Knees. "Now's my chance!" Cloud thought as he charged at Crono. Crono started to get up but Cloud had reached him sliced his side a few times before Crono got away. "That does it!" Crono yelled as he started to go around Cloud at blinding speed. "Damn it! Stand still!" Cloud screamed as he swung his sword everywhere but couldn't hit Crono, and he gotcut up on many part of his body before Crono stopped.
After a few hours, both were cut, bleeding and almost exhausted. "Now I think it's time we finished this!" Commented Cloud as his hands started to glow a light green. Crono realized this and started to charged charge up something similiar to Clouds. "Alright then! Let's see what you got! ULTIMA!!" Cloud yelled as he fired a blast of energy at Crono. "LUMINIARE!" Crono fired his and both blasts hit head on, neither gaining an advantage on the other. It causes a huge explosion which knock both Cloud and Crono back. They stare at each other in disbelif. "That was my strongest attack and his is as strong as it?" Cloud asked dazed. "Man. This guy's strong." Commented Crono as he shook his head. They both got up and charge at each other again. Just then a blast came out of nowhere and hit the ground between them. They both turned to see a man holding a sword. "What are you doing here? "We both fell through..." Crono tried to explain but Cloud push him to the side. "Who are you?!" Demanded Cloud. "The name is Jarin Dreamsinger, and I'm the bringer of your death!" He waved his hand and Crono and Cloud were frozen in place. Jarin grined as he started to walk toward them, ready to kill. Just then a blast comes out and seals Jarin in a barrier. "What is this?" Jarin yelled as the spell on Cloud and Crono stopped. A portal appears and Gasper comes out. He creates two portals under Crono and Cloud and they fall in. "Not again!" Yelled Cloud as he went in. Crono tried to say something but he fell in also. "I knew it was you." Jarin growled. "They're not ready yet. Commented Gasper as he returned to the end of time and the barrier around Jarin dissapeared. "but I'm ready now!" Jarin laughed as he created his own portal and vanished without a trace.
