3F. Script Disc 2: The Final Battle
[They head to Opassa Beach, where the 3 ghost children are.]
Lucca: So you finally made it, Serge... When did this sorry tale all begin...? Was it
10 years ago, when you almost drowned here? Or was it 14 years ago, when you were wounded
by that panther demon that attacked you... ...resulting in you being carried to Chronopolis
where you came into contact with FATE and the Frozen Flame...? Or perhaps it was even 2,400
years in the future, when the Time Crash hurled Chronopolis back to prehistoric times?
Or even it could have been 12,000 B.C., when an ancient magical kingdom met its end after
trying to use Lavos...? Each is close to being correct... And yet at the same time, so far
from the right answer! The true beginning was during the destruction of the ancient Kingdom
of Zeal! As the palace collapsed around her, Schala was sucked into a dimensional vortex
along with the Lavos Mammon Machine. Schala and Lavos became unified into one even more
powerful entity that would evolve into the Devourer of Time. Filled with the hatred
and sadness of Lavos, half of Schala's mind became set on destroying all of existence. Yet
at the same time, the other half of her mind desired to save the universe and to be
rescued herself. As Schala fell through the time gate in this condition, she heard your
crying echoeing through time... That is when her story and yours began to intertwine...
It is also when the past and the future began to intersect, and when the world became
divided into two... Led by the pitiful crying the young Serge made as the panther demon's
poison took hold of him... Princess Schala traveled ten thousand years in time to try and
make contact with this dimension! This caused a raging magnetic storm that resulted in
FATE's system malfunction, which led Serge to the Frozen Flame. Yes, Serge... The sound of
your crying touched the heart of Princess Schala... Before the destructive mind-set could
become dominant, she cloned herself and sent her copy into this dimension. Schala left her baby
daughter-clone with her ancient pendant, possessing magical powers. This was to safeguard her
daughter-clone in life-and-death situations. The pendant would rewind time a little, sending
her daughter-clone into a safer point in the immediate past. That's right... Kid is Schala's
daughter-clone!
Kid: You're wrong! I'm me! I ain't no Schala's daughter or clone!
