Many weeks, even months had passed since Lavos was defeated, and as far as she knew... Peace resonated throughout all time periods, but even then... Lucca Ashtear did not rest.
Day and night she toiled on new inventions... And theories, especially after Crono returned, with a friend no less... And shared with her the detials of his ventures. He spoke of other Universes that existed other than theirs... The multiverse, so to speak, a theory she had long thought to have been nothing more than science fiction until then.
Ever since that day... Lucca had been working on multiple ways to traverse the boundaries of dimensions, none of which bore any fruit, as much as she tried to base her designs off of the time gates, rifts in time that had occurred when she had first embarked on that adventure with Crono and Marle.
However, as time went on... She began to have nightmares, or perhaos... Visions of the future.
A baby girl with blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes... Marle's pendant, wrapped around it... An orphanage in flames... A great beast residing in a void.
in the end... She abandoned her efforts to traverse dimensions, in hopes of making these nightmares go away... And for a while, it worked, until one fatefull night, when they made a much more vivid return, causing her to toss and turn in bed, unable to wake up as her senses began to fade from her...
Until finally, she awoke, not in her home... But in some kind of desert.
...
Largely, she stayed quiet throughout most of their venture, sinking into the background, and occasionally helping with a few battles, simply observing what was happening... And wondering if it was all a dream.
Out of all the bizarre happenings though, it was the large, muscular man eating monsters that snapped her out of it. Naturally she stayed quiet along with the rest of the group, skirting around him as she headed towards the forest before she finally spoke up.
"Looks like a mirage to me. But I'll take that chance! Better than becoming his meal..." She said, gesturing towards the man they had just barely avoided.
Carefully keeping a grip on her blaster, incase they met any unsavory opposition, she advanced forwards... Trying not to get too close to the front of the group; she was more of a back liner usually anyways...
