    Brushing aside that bastardous end interlude, we continue with our quest. Where were we ?


    [IMG]



    65.000.000 BC !!












    [IMG]












    [IMG]


    [IMG] Magus !

    [IMG] This frog huge. Present ? Can Ayla eat ?

    [IMG] Wh-why you ! ...More importantly, that pale-faced bastard, isn't he here ?!

    [IMG] No, just yous. That one tastier than you ?

    [IMG] ...We've let him get away ?

    [IMG] The records that say Magus created Lavos WERE mistaken. Then, what MIGHT the actual time of Lavos's birth be ?

    [IMG] It is a mystery...


    [IMG]


    We follow Ayla's advice and get back to sleep...

    [IMG]


    ...until Kino decides to wake us up.

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Oh ? You mean that hidden village that tries to avoid the dinomen ?

    [IMG] Join power with Laruba Village, have final battle with Dinomen ! If not destroy Dinomen, Kinos destroyed.


    AND THEN SOMEBODY SHOUTED :

    [IMG]


    [IMG] What wrong ?! Cronos resting. Make quiet !

    [IMG] North wood flaming ! Flaming !!!


    We must investigate ! But first let's buy some new stuff from the stone-age peddlers.

    [IMG] [IMG]


    These some nice new weapons. Now let's see what's going on around here...

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Red star ? What's this all about ?

    [IMG] Red star light keep getting stronger ! Bad sign...

    [IMG] Forget about stars, what about the Dinomen ?

    [IMG] East lava zone. Can year creepy voice... Never heard before animal voice...

    [IMG] Hmm, the lava zone... how do we get there ?

    [IMG] Weird thing made in lava zone. Must be Azala ! But need Pteran cross mountain.


    Pteran huh ? As you can see the lava zone can't be reached by foot.

    [IMG]


    I think it's time we checked that fire in the forest...

    [IMG]


    Uh-oh, the Laruba village doesn't seem to be in good shape.

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Typical Kino incompetence. But what about Ayla ?

    [IMG] Ayla followed by Dinomen. Ayla bringer of death !

    [IMG] You defy them, so DInomen mad ! Those who defy, killed...

    [IMG] For fuck's sake, you're supposed to be wild blood-thirsty barbarians ! Show some spine !


    Finally, we find Ayla !

    [IMG]


    The chief seems mad.

    [IMG]


    [IMG] ... Sorry... Ayla careless...

    [IMG] Opposing Dinomen foolish ! Dinomen on this earth from more long ago than us. That why we were hiding.

    [IMG] But Ayla say fight together... Ayla say fight even if suffer like this ?!


    [IMG]

    :salute: That's my Ayla !

    [IMG] Dinomen too, Aylas too, all living thing no can defy this law !

    [IMG] Tell him sister !

    [IMG] Elder, yous not alive. Just not dead.

    [IMG] Ayla, you strong... That why can say that. We not have power...


    [IMG]


    [IMG] Aylas lend power. That why Pteran ! Need Pteran now. Lend Pteran.

    [IMG] Pteran... ? You want to go in Tyran Castle ?! Over there Dinomen's castle. Danger ! Even if Ayla ! Want to die ?

    [IMG] Wrong, want to live, so go. Ayla fine. Depend on you !

    [IMG] Understand. I tell those who care for Pteran. Go pteran nest. Ayla take care.


    [IMG]


    Ayla sets off for the Pteran nest. The Elder has one final thing to say to us...

    [IMG]


    And that we will ! Next stop, the Pteran nest.

    [IMG]


    Cave Ape Shits invest the hills, but they can't stop us.

    [IMG] [IMG]


    T.Gliders try to kidnap our women, and they pay for it.

    [IMG] [IMG]


    The road is harsh. Strange glitches occur...

    [IMG]


    And finally we reach the summit. (notice the red star shimmering to the right ?)

    [IMG]


    The Pterans appear.

    [IMG]


    And so do we.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    [IMG] You don't think you can ditch us that easily, huh ?

    [IMG] No ! Tyran Castle Danger !! All might die !!

    [IMG] ... We owe you a favor. We won't let you go alone. Right Crono ?

    [IMG] Damn right.

    [IMG] Yous...


    [IMG]


    :yeah:


    It's time to chose the third member of the party, I'll take Marle for her good healing abilities and for fear of future retribution.

    [IMG]


    And up we go !

    [IMG]


    Destination : Tyran Castle.

    [IMG] [IMG]


    Immediately, we're greeted by dinodudes. We pass through the open jaws and head downstairs...

    [IMG]


    Prisoners ! We free them.

    [IMG]


    ANd then we head to the next level.

    [IMG]


    [IMG] I don't think you're going to make it to the banquet, gentlemen.


    [IMG]


    [IMG] Let's make some reptilian boots !!


    We dispose of them with no trouble and then check out the cells... It's Kino. I'm not surprised.

    [IMG]


    The door doesn't budge, but Ayla manages to climb inside. These dino cages have some serious faults.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    [IMG] That stuff fine. More important, Kino escape ahead with Laruba villagers !

    [IMG] What Ayla do ?

    [IMG] Go settle things by Law of Earth.

    [IMG] Kino go together !

    [IMG] Kino come, no good. If Ayla lose, Kino Ioka chief... !

    Translation : Kino you suck at combat, go home.

    [IMG] Ayla... !


    After that, Ayla breaks open the cage from inside. These dino-craftsmen really need to rethink their cage building.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Before he leaves, Kino finds a way to open the left passage. At last, he did something useful.

    [IMG]


    :roll:


    Let's move on !

    [IMG]


    This chamber has two floor switches and two rows of monsters in each side. Guess what the switches do...

    [IMG] [IMG]


    Hah ! It seems we've learned something from Vinnegar. We take the right route and reach a room with treasure... nice !

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    But as we try to grab the treasure...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Yup. The trick is now on us. Oh well, it's killing time.

    [IMG]


    We start ascending the tower. Little volcano creatures try to drown us in lava...

    [IMG]


    Terrasaurs want to ambush us...

    [IMG]


    But eventually we reach... NIZBEL ?!

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Didn't we kill you a couple of chapters ago ?


    [IMG]


    [IMG] He can talk now ?

    [IMG] Apparently.

    [IMG] We must have beaten some sense into him. Let's move on.


    [IMG]


    Huh ?


    [IMG]


    [IMG] Azala is not simply just past here. You must beat me to get to him. ME, the great Nizbel, who has returned !

    [IMG] Your pathetic trolling attempts will be met with extreme moderational prejudice !



    It seems Nizbel is anxious to die a second time. We'll grant his wish.

    [IMG]


    Marle uses haste on herself to be on par with Crono and Ayla, but Nizbel has some tricks under his sleeve...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    His defense increases each time he's attacked. FUCK.
    Marle tries to confuse him, but to no avail...

    [IMG]


    Our best bet is to shock them with lightning, but it lasts for only one turn and then he discharges the energy back...

    [IMG]


    We heal, use lightning again and rely a lot on Ayla's brutal power.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    At last, we manage to get him down.


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    That was a rather hard fight. Let's use a shelter to fully heal and go right into the monster's jaws...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Will it be Dinomen, or you apes that will survive on this earth ?

    [IMG] Law of Earth decide that. Ayla just fight !

    [IMG] That's right. Law of Earth ! Also known as The Chuck Norris law.



    RRRROOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR !!!


    What ?


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    After him !


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    [IMG] ...May you fall. And may you stain the earth red !


    What's with that star anyway ?

    [IMG]


    [IMG] Dude... I've come from the future. Do the math.

    [IMG] Hu, hu, hu. This Black Tyrano will wipe you apes from history permanently !


    The black tyrano puppy seems to agree...

    [IMG]


    But we don't !


    [IMG]


    The tyrano is basically indestructible at this point. The trick here is to focus on Azala. Ayla and Marle hit him with their GlacierToss double-tech and crono with his best single techs.

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Azala replies by teleporting rocks on our heads.

    [IMG]


    But we keep on pounding him and...

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Azala's dead meat !


    [IMG]


    Now only Tyrano remains. But we can't get past his defenses, until...


    [IMG]


    Finally ! He lifted his defenses to start gathering power for a super-attack. Now we can hurt him.


    [IMG]


    WHoops, a countdown has started. We better take him down fast.


    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Dammit, faster !


    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Shit is gonna hit the fan !


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Attack !!!


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    :yeah:


    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Azala seems devastated...


    [IMG]


    [IMG] Kh, apes, listen. And don't forget it. We Dinomen challenged fate to a battle and perished proudly !

    [IMG] We'll remember.


    WHEN SUDDENLY !


    [IMG]


    [IMG]


    [IMG] The scorched earth will begin to cool and a long harsh era of ice will come.

    [IMG] ..!!

    [IMG] Hu, hu, is it not appropriate that we are the ones to bring this era to a close ? Ha, ha, ha, ha... !


    But what's going to scorch the earth ?

    [IMG]


    Lavos...?


    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    Wh-what ? Ayla was the one who named Lavos ?!


    [IMG]


    Damn, things don't look so good here...


    [IMG]

    [IMG]

    [IMG]


    What do you know, Kino comes to the rescue. Ayla doesn't want to let anyone behind...

    [IMG]


    [IMG] No ! This is what the earth has decided !

    [IMG] ...

    [IMG] Ayla ! Quick !!!

    [IMG] Azala, I not forget...

    [IMG] Future...

    [IMG] Future ? What about future ?

    Great job as always, the cave-speak was hard to endure, though.
    Good thing that it shouldn't be a problem from now on. :M

    As much as I dislike the game, I cannot deny my admiration for this LP. You've done a superb job with the structure, the chapter names, the narration... awesome stuff. That I keep coming back for more is the highest praise I can give :salute:

    I almost feel kind of sad for the dinomen, with the "no future" and all.

    Isn't Azala a woman though?

    EDIT: Or, well, female

    I wasn't trying to be ironic. Azala is female, according to the chrono-wikis at least. If I wrote somewhere "he" it's either a translation mistake or simply my mistake.


    Bah, let's just all agree that it's a tranny so everyone can be happy.

    Last time the reign of Dinomen on the earth was ended once and for all. The Illiterate manboons prevailed over the noble reptilians and Lavos's descent came to seal the deal.


    But what if we decided to take on Lavos instead of going after Azala ?


    [IMG]


    Let's see...










    [IMG]










    Hey, It's our old friend :


    [IMG]


    Time to settle this !


    [IMG]


    With the help of the powerful PAR mantra, we win !


    [IMG]


    :yeah:


    [IMG]





    And now, it's time for the credits...





    [IMG]


    Ah, the same old "Crono" thing.


    [IMG]


    Huh ?!


    [IMG]


    :what:


    [IMG]


    MINDFUCK


    [IMG]


    [IMG] You were so exited about today that you didn't get to sleep much last night, did you ? Come on, get up already !


    [IMG]


    Say Hello to reptilian Crono !


    [IMG]


    After we get up we visit the reptilian bar and then head to the reptilian festival...


    [IMG]


    ^ As you can see the near-extinct human has taken the Dinoman's place in the freak-show that races around the square...


    [IMG]


    As for reptile-Crono, he might just meet a reptile-Marle...


    [IMG]


    [IMG]


    [IMG]




    [IMG]




    Azala seems pretty happy... until the END title falls on her head.




    [IMG]




    The future now belongs to the reptiles !




    [IMG]




    DJ Azala Rocks on !
