Shortly after collecting the crystal Crono left what used to be the mountain and ran back to his home to begin his work on a gift of sorts for his brother, using the strange red crystal. After arriving at his home, Crono quickly walked into his room and quickly set to work, using spare parts and misc. objects that he had gathered over time. . He pulled out a simple screw and screwed it into the crystal at a great requirement of strength on his part, but he did manage to do so. Then as he picked up his little creation he paused for a moment and looked up to the celing. “Mom, do we have any old gold chains that I could have to make a necklace?” he asked and there was another pause as he listened to hear her cry out from another part of the house , yet instead she walked in producing the item he asked for, practically dropping it in his lap. He smiled and looked up and said his thanks, then lacing the thin chain through the eye screw he clasped the chain together, gathered it all up underneath the crystal and made his way to Surge's room.

Stepping into not only the Shogun's aka his brother's quarters while he was gone was probably going to get him in trouble but he just had that urge to do so. He stepped into his room and placed the small, blood red crystal necklace on his pillow and quickly exited. He wasn’t sure if he would be back any time soon, but if he wouldn’t be, this just might be enough to get him to stay long enough for crono to give him his thanks. Those were his last thoughts as he left the

Stepping out of the house, Crono looked around the surroundings and smiled as he turned around and entered the kitchen. Turning to find his mom he asked her “Well mom, it seems I wont be coming back for a while so if Surge returns while I am gone, please direct him to the gift and inform him that I will return home as soon as possible and have gone to get a valuable surprise.” He said as he looked to his mom, kissing her on the cheak before dashing out the door and toward the training grounds to work on some more of the training that he was quickly coming to value. If he didn’t have his allies in the situations that he knew that they would most likely be getting themselves into he wouldn’t have ever been training in the first place.

as he walked around the training grounds, he noticed it was much more packed then earlier, more students and gennin and even chunnin and jonin all gathered. he began attempting to find a clearing where he could actually begin his training. As he made his way though he then decided to head for the treeline and smiled as he explored through the trees, investigating this relatively new area. Soon enough he found a tiny enough of a clearing that he could train in. calmly focusing his chakra into his arms and legs as he built up his focus and began to get ready for full combat training. Smiling he spun into a kick and started to spin into the moves that were used in traditional kung-fu films every so often weaving a quickdraw from his blade causing an explosion of splinters to break off from the tree before resheathing the weapon.. He spun into another flurry of attacks and finally landed with a smile and committed himself into a sweep kick.

Suddenly the smile disappeared and his body committed itself to a volley of attacks. The dead look returned to his eyes and his restrictions steadily lowered more and more until finally his strikes were cobra like. He only moved enough to strike the point he wished and then would snap back and move into another strike. His motions were rapid and untraced, he constantly shifted positions into random strikes and then as an chakra aura covered his body he was suddenly unleashing a wood shattering blows with every punch until he snapped out of his focus. He looked around to find every last one of the trees that had surrounded him were suddenly toppled and laying on the ground. In the moments where he had blacked out he had managed to destroy the entire forest that was surrounding him. Closing his eyes he backed himself up to the nearest fallen tree and sat down for a moment. trying to figure out what had just happened to him and reflect upon it.

As he sat and thought he grabbed the attention of a near by Gennin who obviously did not appreciate what Crono had done and came up to him. The man walked up to him and slowly raised a hand, an obvious challenge. He didn’t speak a word nor would he let a friendly challenge go unanwsered. And yet at the same time he felt this strange urge, one he had been warned about, one that told him to kill the man, told him to completely decimate their body, make sure that they would never challenge him again. Crono began to fight on two fronts, his inner termoil and physiclly. As they dashed to each other Crono quickly grab the man by the face and he slammed them into the wooden beam behind them and before he knew it he slipped into the battle focus that he had before. the gennin quickly slipped into a shifting stance and quickly slammed his hand into the Crono's stomach causing him to double over , the force of the blow pushing the air out of him. Crono twisted around and slammed the side of his hand into the Genin's face and continually spun around them, jabbing them where the kidneys would be.

The Genin grabbed the Crono by the head and kicked him hard in the back and sent him flying forward. in a sudden lunge Crono countered by finally grabbed him by the face slaming him down into the ground, the genin's arms huddled up by his face blocking the barrage of blows. "Okay okay, I give!" suddenly crono shook himself back awake. the strange feeling overcame him once again.. He wanted to be the peaceful person that he once was but instead he was left with what he was quickly becoming, a sadistic little bastard that was quickly being corrupted by power. He kept trying to tell himself that getting the power was only to help his friends but deep down did he just want the power for the sake of being powerful? And no matter what argument he could possibly give he wouldn’t be able to prove otherwise. He needed to meditate. bring order to the chaos that was burning at his mind. Helping the genin back up Crono dismissed himself and dashed into the woods, sitting down in a clearing he closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Crono felt a flame deep within his body, the heat of Chakra building and radiating out, and then as quickly as it had built up it went away. The power that had been within him all this time quickly faded and it was all over. Then just as he thought it was all over the energy rebuild and his power multiplied ten fold. An actual aura of chakra formed tightly over his body, then expanded ever further, causing water in his mind around him to evaporate. The chakra actually took the form of a flame and expanded more and more until he disappeared with it. His pure emotion fueled the chakra as the geyser of energy shot high into the sky, wave after wave, creating a pillar of pure power from the bottom of the ocean, out into space. His eyes glowed and his body steadily built more and more power until it completely faded and everything was over. Where Crono had once been, in his mind, was now a bubble of air, his body had literally transformed into a gas.

Floating there in the ocean he had his own form, no need to breath, no need to even think, his body was completely following any form of instinct. Guided by his chakra he slowly floated though the water and up to the surface until he formed in a bubble and floated away. If he had a face it would be smiling because with this new form he would be able to be freeier than he had ever felt, but more than that. Aand so he refocused his mind and shifted back into a solid state but for some reason was unable to hold it as he burst into yet another form of gas, this time it was Helium.

The purple colored gas floated off through the landscape of his nirvana, testing and probing all of its abilities. He reached out with this new form of energy and carefully manipulated his chakra as his body expanded to cover a ten yard wide bubble of zero gravity and suddenly every thing that had any form of the tiniest of vibrations slowly floated into the air and completely lost control of its actions. The only way to move within this bubble would be to keep in mind that the only down was the way your feet pointed and to always push off where there was a solid wall to bounce off of. he tried to change back into his solid, humanoid body but as he turned human again he once again exploded into yet another gas.

Sighing in anger he looked through the gas form, this time he was actually still in a humanoid shape but his body was a green gas, which meant while he still had full motion control . Smiling at the concept he realized that this form must have its own little specialty too. As his mind steadily shifted to fit to the role of the ability he came acros sit completely on accident. He had knelt down to pet a mental construct and it fell over, stiff as a board. Quickly checking its pulse he made sure that the thing was still alive, and luckily enough it was. He would have been really upset if he had killed the poor little creature like this, as killing something in your mind was akin to killing part of yourself.. What did all this mean, he felt in control, this wasn't a hallucination or a dream, it was still part of his meditation or so he believed.

His body shifted for a fourth time, this time he became an icy blue gas that he could only assume was carbon dioxide. In its natural state it stayed as a much cooler form that worked a lot like liquid nitrogen. Ice crystals formed around his body as he walked and every step he took cause a patch of ice to form. His body melded with the ground with each step and it felt like he was cutting off a limb each time he lifted his foot. was this the pain of regret he began to wonder, regret taken form? trying to refocus his minds energies he attempted to return to a human state.

But his human form didn’t last and to his surprise a fifth form came up this one was completely invisible He started to laugh in his mind as he wandered, there was only one gas that he knew of that had these attributes and that was Carbon Monoxide, appropriately nicknamed the silent killer. This must be his Deadly side, the emotions that took him over when in the heat of battle, when it was kill or be killed. was this feeling the sudden emotion that had run rampant throughout his body. the Feeling that caused him to suddenly blackout without warning in the middle of training? Meditation was ment to help one reveal insight of ones own self, however all this meditation did was give Crono more questions that needed anwsers. He breathed in deeply as he pulled himself away from his inner psyche returning to the reality of the world.
