Tiny Synopsis (new)

Last updated: Rexcalibur 06:23, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Phase I
Takes place in Calvin. A mercenary (Will) and his gang are chilling in a bar, getting drunk and having fun... until someone (Chrono) stumbles in, near death. They rush to aid him, later learning that he was ambushed by assassins. (He requests to get escorted back to his village/home in Ferris? When the mercenaries ask him why not order a bodyguard to keep him safe, he says he's too poor.) A girl Chrono has eyes for is massively injured. After contemplation, he goes out of his way to rescue her and escapes from his attackers towards a village in the direction opposite to Calvin.
 * Will one of the mercs go back with him?
 * What about approaching Charade? She's Will's sister, and lives in Ferris. Perhaps Will offers to escort Chrono back so he can check up on something there? But returns to Calvin when Chrono insists that he'll be okay on his own. (He's stubborn. Doesn't like to show weakness/that he needs others' help.)
 * Will another attack send him towards the other direction of the Kingdom of Noir? Hmmm.
 * Save Ferris from being bombed, or keep it?
 * If enough happens in this Phase, I can push Phase II to III.
 * The flashback (originally Phase II) has now been omitted. May return as a brief flashback but not its own Phase.

Phase II
With the dying girl on his back, Chrono is forced to flee to the hidden Kingdom of Noir, where he plans to get aid for her. He is prevented from entering due to exile, however messenger Dante escorts him inside. Surgeons and doctors refuse to aid the exile, and Chrono heads to his old, untouched room, where he plans to perform mechanical surgery (prothstetics) on the girl. On his way he is greeted by his old pet [dragon], Gallium, a pearly-white four-winged giant cougar.

In Luciville, a brown-haired girl (Mariah) and a silvery-blonde (Promise) are hiding within a shielded armoury from hostile villagers. Promising to return, Mariah breaks loose and escapes, and the hostiles follow suit. Instead of waiting for Mariah's return, Promise escapes in a different direction.

[Perhaps have another subplot rolling here?]

After a day or so back at Noir, the girl (now a cyborg) awakens, literally speechless. Dante is nowhere in the room. Before Chrono could get a going conversation with her, the lights go out and the generator fails. Dante begins to attack Chrono, requesting for his necklace - just as Rafael did. Gallium escapes with the girl on his back, during which he is targeted by ballistae and injured during his flee. During Chrono's duel with Dante, his necklace morphs into a shield, then a spear as Chrono figures its powers and use it against Dante to flee through the window and over the rooftops.

Phase III
To be continued.
