General Information

Another Timeline is the continuation of Keystone T-2 into 1020 A.D.

Chronology

*** by a point means that a footnote is provided at the end of the timeline.
'-' means that an event succeeds everything above it, while a series of
'*'s mean that it is unknown which event occurred before the other.
'-U-' means that this event is dated according to Ultimania, a flawed guide for
Chrono Cross written in Japan that may nonetheless have some credibility.

=>1010 A.D.

-Serge is killed by Wazuki.
*Mel is born.
*Kiki's father becomes an occultist, and places Mojo on a shrine in his room.
*Marge passes away.

=>1011 A.D.

-U-Fargo and Zelbess attempt to flee from General Viper.
-U-Luccia tries to help, but ends up helping the children only.
-U-Marcy is born.
-U-Zelbess dies.
-U-Fargo entrusts Nikki to a traveler.
-U-Fargo changes his ship to the S.S. Invincible and hides it as a ghost ship.
-U-Fargo begins attacking boats under General Viper's command.

=>1014 A.D.

-Leah is born.***

***There is common speculation that Leah came to Gaia's Navel by some warp in
time. This is not altogether out of the question, considering Gaia's Navel was
always present in the sea of El Nido, and not one of the terraformed islands
created by Chronopolis; also, two gates existed in 65000000 B.C. in Chrono
Trigger, and Kino was found atop Mystic Mountain as a baby. Perhaps Leah went
back to that era and then mothered Ayla; however, remember that this would
have had to happen before the actions of Crono as well, as they depend on
Ayla's existence, meaning if the theory is true, Leah had to return to
65000000 B.C. in the Lavos timeline or not visit Gaia's Navel at all.

=>1015 A.D.

-NeoFio is planted.
*It is believed that during 1015 A.D., Lynx attacks Lucca's orphanage and
abducts Lucca in a vain attempt to release the lock on the Frozen Flame.
-Kid becomes trapped in her memory of this experience in 1020 A.D.
-Serge's party comes here thanks to the power of Masa, Mune, Doreen, and Kid's
Astral Amulet.
-Serge's party saves children and assists Kid's escape.***
-Kid escapes, vowing to seek vengeance for Lucca.

***Note that Kid escaped originally, even before Serge intervened to bring Kid
out of this memory. Otherwise, this would be a causal loop - that is, Kid's
meeting Serge depends on his saving her, which depends on his meeting her, and
so on.

=>1016 A.D.

-Dario inherits the Einlanzer.
-Radius presumably retires from the Dragoons.
-Radius comes to live in Hermit's Hideaway.
-U-Lynx first approaches General Viper about the Frozen Flame.

=>1017 A.D.

*Luccia loses her brother in a freak accident in a Porre lab, prompting her
to come to El Nido. Note that this accident could be an explosion set by
Norris to destroy Grobyc's level seven tech, the StrongArm. However, this may
have taken place in either dimension as well, which would explain how an
intact arm resides at Chronopolis.
-Dario and Riddel pledge to marry.
-The Acacia Dragoons set out to explore the Isle of the Damned.
-Dario dies at the Isle of the Damned due to his corruption by the Masamune.

=>1017 A.D. to 1020 A.D.

-Luccia begins using Dragonian robots from Fort Dragonia to guard Viper Manor.
*Starky's UFO crashes in El Nido Triangle.
*Lynx approaches Porre about the Frozen Flame.
-Norris becomes a spy inside Viper Manor.
*Orcha goes to work for Viper Manor.
-The Dragon Tear is stolen from Guldove by Hell's Cook, Orcha.
*An envoy from Porre arrives at Viper Manor about the Frozen Flame.
*Belthasar arrives and takes up the position of researcher at Viper Manor.

*** There is an overarching plot line that did not totally make it into Chrono
Cross. It suggested that if Serge did not stop the Time Devourer, he would
inevitably merge with it too, and that this would complete the being and result
in the death of spacetime. Lynx's calling him the "Assassin of Time" is very
suited for describing this outcome. For more on this plot line, read:
