Ryo - :::Looks around suspiciously for any unwanted Foreign Leaders Hell-bent on exterminating any slight form of Terrorism::: Welcome back to the CTRW! Last time, Crono was on trial for kidnapping the Princess. Even though he was innocent, he was thrown in prison anyway. What does the Chancellor have in store for him? Will he ever get out? Well, let's get back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Crono - :::Wakes up and looks around the cell:::
Guy - Hey, look! The boy woke up!
Girl - Well, its about damn time! He has been out for over an hour.
Girl 2 - Ohh! He’s cute!
Guy - Shut up, Selphie!
Selphie - Awww...
Crono - Where am I? And who the hell are you guys?
Girl - We are in a dungeon. What the hell does it look like?
Guy - Calm down! Anyway, I’m Zell Dinct. The bitchy one here is Quistis Trepe.
Quistis - Watch what you say Zell... I may just have to kill you.
Zell - EEP!
Selphie - Hello! I’m Selphie Tilmett. Who are you?
Crono - I’m Crono!
Zell - Nice to meet you. What are you in this hellhole for?
Crono - I was wrongly accused of kidnapping the Princess. What about you guys?
Selphie - Oh, we just tried to kill the Sorceress. That’s all. I still don’t see what the big problem was...
Quistis - THATS ALL??? This is a SERIOUS crime! And we didn’t even accomplish our mission!
:::Footsteps are heard down the hallway. A guard walks in:::
Guard - :::Reading off a list::: Zell Dinct, Quistis Trepe, and Selphie Tilmett. Please come with me.
Zell - Are we out?
Guard - Out? Heh, Hehe, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh! That's funny! Out! HA! No. You aren’t out. You are being... How do you say... Relocated. :::They walk out. The guard comes back::: Oh! You, Crono. Your execution is scheduled for this evening.
Crono - WHAT??? EXECUTED????
Guard - Yup! By order of the Chancellor of Guardia Himself! Have a nice day! :::Walks out and closes the cell again:::
Crono - But... but... but... EXECUTED???
Guy - It seems that you are in it rather deep, kid.
Crono - Erh? :::Looks around, sees a figure in the corner::: Oh! I never noticed you there before! Who are you?
Guy - Yea, well... I was kinda asleep. The name's Lupin. Lupin the Third.
Crono - Ah. And what are you in for?
Lupin - Inspector Zenigata of Interpol caught up with me as I was passing through. I was rather careless. Pops was rather elated though. I've been wanted for numerous heists. I’m in line to be executed as well.
Crono - How are you gonna get by?
Lupin - Oh, I have my ways. After all, this isn’t the first time I’ve been caught. Zenigata is as dumb as a rock anyway. He forgot that my partners got away. Guess he was too caught up with the moment of catching me... They should be by in about a half an hour or so.
Crono - So, I guess we wait till then. :::Goes over and sits down:::
:::A half an hour passes:::
Lupin - :::Looking at his watch::: Five, four, three, two, one... now.
Crono - Huh?
:::An explosion can be heard not far away:::
Lupin - Hey! They are actually on time!
:::Footsteps can be heard running down the hall:::
Crono - Heh, sounds like a nice entrance!
:::A guy with a strange looking, gravity defying beard, and a large hat that covers his eyes rather suspiciously, runs up to the cell:::
Guy - Come on Lupin!! We gotta get out of here!
Lupin - Well, that’s nice, Jigan, but there is that small matter of these metal bars... It appears that, with out them, I would have been out of here a long time ago...
Jigan - Oh yea huh... Smart-ass. I kind of forgot about that. Goemon is down the hall, he will be here soon.
Lupin - Well, that’s good. He is probably our only safe way out of here...
Jigan - Hey! What the hell do you mean by that???
:::A man fully dressed in a traditional Kendo Gi runs up to the cell:::
Jigan - Oh! There you are, Goemon! Poor Lupin here needs an exit.
Goemon - Do you now? What’s the matter? The Master Thief can’t break out of a simple dungeon on his own?
Lupin - Come on Goemon! Give me a break here! I’m only human!
Goemon - Alright. Step back.
:::Lupin steps back. Goemon grabs the handle of his Katana, slashes a couple times over the bars extremely quickly, then returns the blade to its sheath:::
Crono - Huh? Nothing happened.
Lupin - Just watch. Goemon is VERY skilled with a sword.
:::As Crono watches, several slits form in the bars, and the cell door falls to pieces:::
Goemon - Ok, lets go now. We need to get out of here. We have wasted too much time already.
Lupin - Alright. :::Looks around::: Hey! Where's Fujiko?
Jigan - She is waiting for us in the car, so lets go!
Lupin - Ok, ok! Hold on! :::Turns to Crono::: Well kid, we have to run again. We got the cell open for you, but you need to get out yourself. So, good luck kid! And I'm pretty sure we will meet again.
Jigan - Dammit, Lupin! Stop wasting our time! LET’S GO!
Lupin - Alright, I’m coming! GEEZ! :::Runs out of the cell and follows Jigan and Goemon down the hall:::
Crono - Erh? I guess I'm alone now... :::walks out of the cell and looks down the hall::: Well, at least I'm free... :::Grabs Bokken and goes walking aimlessly down the hall:::
