Same as it ever was...


I guess "saving the world" doesn't count as a "Get out of jail free" card.



Let's get this over with...
















Our allies from across time show up to help Crono outta this jam.










Crono's off the hook, and all loose ends are tied up. Nothing to do now but to celebrate our victory.

The final night of the Millenial Fair.






Time to kick things off with some jovial music!


Crono and Marle do a celebratory lap around the perimeter of the main fairgrounds.

And once again we get control. We can't leave, but we can chat up a few people...


Truly a mother to the end.



And since we saved Lara...



We've chatted everyone up here.

The next screen has Lucca running off-screen, and since there's nothing else of interest here...

For the final time, the gang's all here.







All good things must come to an end, and our friends have their own times to return to.

First up is Ayla.








Farewell, Ayla. You hit hard and got me some good loot.



King Guardia departs, and just as Frog is about to do the same...







Farewell, Frog. You were a solid jack-of-all-trades with a bad-ass mountain-cutting scene.



ok bye












Doan chooses this semi-awkward moment to take his leave.



No emotions indeed.



Farewell, Robo. Another solid jack-of-all-trades. You were built before the destruction of Lavos since you clearly remembered a peaceful time when we reactivated you, so you should be fine.
Probably.



And so the three plucky teenagers we started our adventure with are the three we end it with.




I'm sure the Entity's feeling much better after the magnificent feat our heroes have accomplished.

You're telling me, do you know how much time it took me to document all this!?

Seems like a good waste of a time machine, but honestly it's probably for the best.





Uh...uh-oh!


Crono's reaction here is priceless.





Yeah, the translation kinda muffed it there. Ah well.


We've got all the time in the world, so might as well check it out.



Leene's Bell was what started this crazy adventure, ringing when Crono and Marle first met. Seems fitting it ends with the christening of a new bell named after our heroine.

Crono and Lucca take this cue to exit.



Marle runs off, and the incredibly great ending music starts playing. Please give it a listen.






Taban had a bit too much lemonade however and gives his freaking king no mind, opting instead for explosions.


There's a lot of variations to this ending, the main one depending on whether you use the Epoch to reach Lavos. I'll cover that in a future update, however. We aren't done yet!

This version starts off with a nice overhead view of the Moonlight Parade fireworks.



Before focusing on the Epoch flying across 1000AD.


Gotta show those Mode 7 effects, after all!
After that, we get glimpses on the new lives of our own comrades...

Robo lives in a peaceful future, where Atropos's fate doesn't end in tragedy.

Ayla and Kino resume their roles in leading their peoples through a coming Ice Age, all the stronger.

Frog, now serving as the personal guard of the king and queen, takes a moment to watch his comrades fly by.

Magus can fly apparently.

After one last sweep...

...we zoom out to the planet, now free of any threat.



The End...for now!
We've still got more endings to check out, and the return of JERK to come!
