The party has just landed on Lunar. As their travel capsule begins to disappear, they take a look around at their once beautiful planet. Their city of culture and excitement, Meribia, is now a city of crumbling buildings and pillage and looting. The citizens run around in chaotic fashion and fear, clinging to what is left of their possessions.
Jessica looks toward the northeast end of town.
"Ahhhh! Father!!", she shrieks in terror as she sees the great Mel del Alkirk's palace raized to nothingness. She falls to her knees and begins to cry uncontrollably, "F..f...f.father. Where are you? FATHERRRRRRR!"
Kyle notices and goes over to her and puts his arms around her, secretly swearing off Ghaleon for such evil. He stares up at the mechanical demon that is not but a few hundred yards away.
Mia now realizes the possible reality of her vision and looks toward the skies. Nothing but dark clouds cover them. "Where's Vane?! Oh no, mother!", she speaks in terror. She starts to run off toward the Grindery to settle the score.
Nash quickly grabs her by the arm and brings her toward him, encircling her with his arms to prevent her from doing anything foolish. He then drops to the ground, bringing her with him and both lay Indian style. She then takes one of his hands and interlocks it with one of hers, allowing tears to fall upon their unified appendages.
"GHALEON...SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!" Alex looks toward the top of the Grindery with his sword ready to dance. He points it toward the zenith of it, allowing the glimmer of a dying sun reflect off its shiny hilt.
"HA HA HA HA! So, the little boy and his ragtag party of misfits dare challenge me?", speaks Ghaleon with contempt as he appears in battle armor, "What could possibly have brought you back from your demise? Hmmmmm..."
Looking around he sees nothing unusual or special to take notice to. However, Laike has hid himself away amongst the plant life, waiting for the right moment to appear.
"It's probably that damn Goddess.", analyzing to himself, "She must've figured out my plan before I took complete control of her. Outloud, "Oh well, no matter, I'll just have to kill you.....huh??"
As he turns around feeling a strange presence, he sees a pair of teenagers bumrushing him. The exact pair he was looking for.
"Well, well?", levitating to the side, easily avoiding their blunt attack method, "Looks like you two saved me a wild goose chase..." and at that instant casts a lightning spell at them. They avoid it and gather near the rest of the group.
"Milady, queen Leene?" How hast thou gotten entagled in such a mess?" frog asks as he bows to his look-alike queen.
"Who, who are you talking about. I'm Marle. I don't know of this 'Leene' you speak of." Looking rather shocked that a half human-frog would be bowing to her.
"Milady?! Of what do you speak of. Am I not thy sworn protector of your bloodline?" Looking confused now, as if amnesia has come over her.
Ghaleon looks on at the rather pathetic chivalry, "Oh, cut the crap. She is not a queen, you green freak!"
Releasing his sword and embracing a fierce stance, "Watch thy tongue, infidel. Of what lineage and authority dost thou possess to insut my liege?"
Marle can't help but laugh and feel embarrassed that someone would stand up for her so much.
Jess looks at Kyle, hoping he would catch on. All he does is look at this situation and scratch his head. She then drops her head and mumbles, "Never mind." Mia looks over to Nash and hopes he would pick up on it, but he gives her a "don't even think about it" look before she had a chance to express herself.
"Enough with this, now you die!", commands Ghaleon.
"Wait!"
All eyes turn in reverse. Another mysterious capsule appears, and out comes their caped devil from before.
"Magus, thou shalt die as well.", frog states as he readies himself for the real battle now.
"Hmmm..Ghaleon, are you ready?", Magus asks as he raises his hand and starts chanting a spell.
"Yes. And how ready I have been.", Ghaleon replies as he too begins a spell chant.
"I don't like the looks of this.", Kyle tells everyone.
As all prepare to attack, Alex, Kyle, frog and Crono have their swords in hand, with arms tensed and legs straddled for balance; Mia, Nash and Marle start spell casting. Jessica begins some her own litany spells, knowing this will not be easy. Magus on one end of the group continues his chanting while encased in a protective barrier while Ghaleon does the same, only he is on the ground with a full body armor covering.
Laike watches all this and counts down to his part to play. The two partners of evil near their end of casting and the group tightens its borders, half facing the floating demon and the other half, a madman.
Just as Ghaleon extends his hand to spellcast Laike sees his opportunity, "Now......."
