~ The Queen is Gone ~
Manoria Cathedral
|
#1: We want nothing but world peace… Or a piece of the world,
tee, hee…
#2: You might like to stick around for the organ recital. It’s a real killer!
#3: People wouldn’t know what to do with themselves in a truly
peaceful world! My, what delicious, er…… #4: Oh dear! It looks like you could use some food and a place to…rest! |
|
(Crono investigates object on ground)
What did you find? (picks it up) A hair pin. That’s Guardia’s royal crest! (nuns transform into Naga-ettes and attack) Phew! That was close! (another Naga-ette appears and hits Lucca) Aack! |
|
(appears and vanquishes enemy)
Lower thine guard and thou’rt allowing the enemy in. Thou’rt
here to save the Queen? The lair is deep within. |
|
A…a frog!? Crono, it’s a talk FROG! I hate frogs! |
|
My guise doth not incur thy trust… Very well, do as thee please. But I shall save the Queen. |
|
W,wait! You don’t seem like a bad… …uh,
person-frog-thing… I mean… Crono! What should we do? • Go with the frog. » I’ll just have to handle it! I mean…deal with…him! • Refuse. » It may be risky going alone… (choice repeats) What’s your name? (input Frog’s name) |
|
Frog will do. |
|
All right… Nice to meet you Frog. |
|
Mayhap a hidden door lurks nigh? Let us search the environs. |
Cathedral (room 1)
|
Buurp! Hey what’s with the disguise? No need for them here! It’s almost my shift. I hate pretending to be human… it’s so repulsive. |
|
Burrp! The ones we ate recently weren’t SO bad. And those 2 soldiers we caught look rather plump and juicy… |
|
Yakra’s so smart! His plan to capture the Chancellor and take his place worked perfectly! Now the Queen’s captive, and the castle’s in an uproar. This is rich! |
|
I’ll look in on Magus’s statue before my shift. (leaves) |
Cathedral (room 2)
|
A…are you here to save Queen Leene?! Oh, what a relief! |
|
How nice of you to come. I’m sure Yakra will be just as pleased. Why not rest in here until he’s available? |
|
There was no need for you to come rescue me! The master, Yakra is very
kind! I’ve decided to stay here. Now why don’t you make yourselves
at home, too!
(upon Crono's trying to leave) Don’t be in such a hurry… Enjoy yourselves, first…Hee hee. (transform into Gnashers) |
Cathedral (statue room)
|
Oh…dearest Magus…
Your flashing eyes…like stars…
And flowing hair…
Like waves atop the sea…
No sad sunny day nor any frightful
bright place can get us down
as long as you’re near…
There’s nothing to fear…
Magus, oh Magus
Our Hero, Magus (upon being interrupted) Come join us in singing your funeral dirge! Gyah hah ha! |
Cathedral (room 3)
|
(Crono finds the secret Naga-ette Bromide; Henches
enter)
Hey everyone! Humans! They’re after the Bromide! Get them! |
Cathedral (prisoner room)
|
Y,you’re humans? They’re hiding the Queen in the back. Please rescue her! |
|
Inside this building, there’s a room dedicated to Magus… Heard something about a treasure there. |
Cathedral (room 4)
|
Snooore…szzzzzz… Nooo, stop it! I SAID that you can’t… (wakes up) Huh?! I’ll say this! You know what you’re doing! |
Cathedral (innermost room)
|
Prepare yourself, Queen Leene.
(Crono approaches) YOU! How did you get in here? |
|
Frog! |
|
Majesty, stand back and allow us the honor! |
|
Be careful! |
|
Gyah, ha, ha… It’s useless to fight! No one will leave here
alive! Stupid frog! It’s time you jumped off this mortal coil!
True-form…CHANGE!
*Reverts to Yakra!!* |
|
(after Yakra's defeat) You came to rescue me! Thank you Frog. |
|
The King awaits. Let us return to the castle. I thank thee Crono, and Lucca. |
|
Yes, thank you so much. Please join us. |
|
(rescued from within a chest when Crono
opens it) Phew, thank you! That monster stuffed me in there. Oh! Your Highness! As you can see, I am undamaged! |
|
Let’s return to the castle! |
|
(if not already resuced) W, wait!! What about me? |
Guardia Castle
|
You had me worried, Leene. |
|
That no good Yakra! Impersonating me and kidnapping the Queen! We MUST create a criminal justice system in this Kingdom to do away with such fiends. |
|
I failed to protect Queen Leene. I hath disgraced thee. |
|
Frog!
(Frog bows and exits) (speaking to Crono) Your timing was perfect. Who knows what would have happened had you not saved me! By the way, where is the girl who was mistaken for me? |
|
Oh, yeah! I forgot all about Princess Nadia! Crono! Where did Princess Nadia disappear? She may still be there! |
|
Thank you, Crono. But…who was that girl we found in the canyon? |
|
#1: So… she wasn’t Leene after all.
#2: The King and Queen make such a great couple! |
Queen's Chambers
|
(reappears) Huh? What happened? |
|
Princess Nadia! |
|
Crono! It was awful… I can’t recall it all… I was somewhere cold, dark…and lonely. Is that what it’s like to…die? |
|
Welcome back, Princess Nadia! |
|
You risked your life to help me, too?! "Princess…Nadia…?!" Uh oh…
I guess you guys figured it out, huh? Sorry, Crono. I didn’t mean to
deceive you. I’m Princess Nadia. My father’s King Guardia the XXXIII.
I really enjoyed being with you at the fair. But if you had known my
identity… Crono, you wouldn’t have shown me around the fair,
right! |
|
But you’re a dead ringer for her. (following line added after recovering Marle) You guys leaving? Wherever you’re heading, be careful! |
|
Which means the real Leene was somewhere else. It’s exactly as I thought. |
Castle Throne Room
|
You’re the real Queen Leene, huh?! |
|
You really could be my twin. |
|
Well, you two better get along… or I’ll be in big trouble. I’ll keep my fingers crossed! |
|
Excuse me? |
|
Um...never mind! I guess it’s time to go! |
|
You seem like one of the family, now! |
|
Thank goodness, you’re safe!! You may resemble Leene, but you sure don’t act like her! Anyway, you’ve really helped me. Let me know how I can repay you. |
|
Wow, you could be Leene’s twin! |
Castle Entrance
|
‘Twas a fault of mine, which endangered the Queen. I shall depart for good. |
|
Eeeek! |
|
Indeed, your resemblance to the Queen is uncanny. Crono, you hath potential to be a good swordsman! (leaves) |
|
…Froggy, you weren’t such a bad guy either. |
|
#1: This ought to relieve the King.
#2: Leene’s presence always brightens things up. #3: You can come and go as you please from now on. #4: You sure were lucky, defeating Yakra and all. |
King's Chambers
|
#1: Didn’t know that a frog could be so brave.
#2: Hmm. I still think there’s a conspiracy going on here! |
|
A beast was posing as the Chancellor? Well, the fake one had much better taste. |
Knight's Quarters
|
I guess Magus’s troops kidnapped Leene. |
|
#1: We must crush Magus’s troops!
#2: Heard that Magus’s troops put Yakra up to it all. #3: (same statement as previous chapter) #4: Can’t believe the cathedral was their hideout. |
|
So! That cathedral was at the heart of it all. That Frog’s done a fine job. But since Magus’s troops failed to kidnap Leene, they’ll probably be back soon. If only Cyrus were here! |
Dining Hall
|
Now the Knight Captain can concentrate on battling Magus’s troops. |
|
Hard to believe she wasn’t Leene… |
|
#1: Well, Leene would never snack before meals like that other
girl did!
#2: I THOUGHT she ate too much to be our Queen. |
|
The REAL Leene? Wonderful! Let’s prepare a feast! |
|
What?! That wasn’t Queen Leene?! And I wasted my time whipping up a batch of that "Eyes Cream" dish she wanted so badly! Yuck! |
Zenan Bridge
|
That frog made it across by swimming to the other side. |
Truce Canyon
|
How do we get home? |
|
Your Highness, er, Princess…we… |
|
Please call me Marle! |
|
Well then, Marle… Observe!
(opens Gate) |
|
Wow! Lucca! You’re amazing! |
|
Ain’t it the truth! Oh, um…I mean… |
|
Enough with the false modesty! You have a real gift! I would trade my royal ancestry for your genius in a heartbeat! |
|
Well, if you say so… Anyway, I call this thing a "Gate." It’s a kind of portal, that takes you to the same location in a different era. Gates are very unstable, so I used the principle behind my Telepod device… …to create a "Gate Key." Now we can use them as we please. |
|
But why did this Gate suddenly appear? |
|
Either the Telepod had something to do with it, or…something else made it. |
|
This is getting pretty weird. Let’s at least head back to our own time! |
|
All right! Coming, Crono?
(everyone enters the Gate) |
