“	The last of my pendant's power will send you to safety. I know you will not be able to forgive her, but… Please, do not hate my mother, or our kingdom. I'm so sorry! Now, quickly—to the surface!	„
	~ Schala’s last words before transporting Marle and co. to the surface

“	Let all that was once fade into oblivion! I welcome the end of existence. Embrace your destruction! It is inevitable!	„
	~ Schala corrupted talking through Dream Devourer Lavos

“	It is no doubt but a matter of time before Lavos consumes the whole of my awareness. It was I, after all, who wished it—wished from the depths of my sadness and despair that all that was would be erased. The strength you wield now cannot free me. No, perhaps it is better said that no strength can. So as long as you lean upon the crutch of power, this world's sorrow can know no true end. Return to your own time now. Dwell not on this. Janus… thank you. But I am the girl I was no more. Live, and be strong. Farewell....	„
	~ Schala fused with Lavos to Magus

“	In order to survive, all living things in this world, fight desperately and devour those they defeat... Must one kill other living things in order to survive? Must one destroy another world in order to allow one's own world to continue? The wounded in turn wound and torment those weaker than they themselves are. There are only the killers and the killed... The sinners who are judged, and the victims that do the judging... What meaning is there to such a world?	„
	~ Lavos speaking through the Frozen Flame and Dragon God

“	I have been waiting an eternity... just for this very moment...~ Meaninglessly hurting one another... The disappearing life-forms... The words that become deleted... The thoughts that become buried... The pool of cells that slowly evaporate... The echoes of consciousness that slowly fade... Love to hate... Hate to love... Why are we born? Why do we die? Evolution? The '"survival of the fittest?"' What is there to be achieved from harming one another... killing one another... The '"eggs"' that we call planets... And the innumerable '"spermatozoa"' which gather around these that we call life-forms... When one of those countless seeds inseminates a planet, a new universe is born. But until that occurs, hundreds of millions of years will pass, and innumerable life-forms will be born, then die... That is the be-all and end-all. Everything exists for that one moment. All so that the universe can evolve into the next dimension... Does that make us all just pawns? Are each of our short lives nothing but a cheap sacrifice just so the one chosen life-form can be born? No. That is not the case! Each and every one of us has a chance of becoming that one chosen life-form which inseminates a planet. Yes, it could be '"you"'... Genes and environment... Each of us tries to do his best under the limited conditions we are each dealt. Each life-form that attempts to eke out a decent life for itself forms a link in the golden chain that leads to the creation of a new universe. If one link is missing, there will be no future. There is no such thing as a useless life-form... No such thing as a pawn! Every single thing in the whole of nature is perhaps just dreaming a dream of '"life"'... All of them are also perhaps nothing more than a dream dreamt by the planet before it is born. Oh, but yes... Eventually all dreams will return to Zurvan... to the sea of dreams... Serge...! Don't go yet, Serge...!!! It's alright. Everything is alright now. Time, which has been divided, will be unified again now. The time for farewells has come... You will lose all memory of this whole adventure and return to your own time. But this time, you will be able to live your own life! We alone do not have the power to heal the world's woes, or to solve all its mysteries. And yet, even then... It was bloody good knowing ya, mate! Thanks for being born '"you,"' Serge! I guess now's the time to say, '"see ya later, mate!"' But... I'll find ya... Sometime, somewhere... I'm bloody sure of it! No matter the time period, no matter the world ya live in, I'll find ya! I'm sure... I am sure I will find you...	„

Background

Schala is the gentle, meek, and beautiful princess of Zeal, and a major character in Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. She is mentioned, in Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki, only in passing. Daughter of the Queen and King of Zeal during Antiquity, Schala is the sister of Janus, also known as Magus. Schala plays a pivotal role in the destruction of the King of Zeal; her mother and Gurus force her to magically manipulate the Mammon Machine of the Ocean Palace in an attempt to harness the power of Lavos and use it as an alternative energy source to the Sun Stone.

After teleporting Crono and his friends out of The Ocean Palace, Schala is extracted from Zeal and the entire timeline, residing in the Darkness Beyond Time with the extraterrestrial parasite. Stricken by grief, her younger brother traveled through time in an attempt to locate her. Consumed with hatred for herself for subjugating herself to the whims of her mother, Schala erases her memories and sends an incarnation of herself into another time and universe as the swashbuckling pirates Kid.

This dropdown contains the synopsis of Schala Zeal’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise!

Schala is the princess of Zeal, and is the last wavy blue-haired woman to ever carry that title. Born into royalty, she was immediately identified as having a penchant for magic. Some speculated her ability surpassed Queen Zeal's. When the Mammon Machine was constructed, she was given a special Pendant to control it and other Sealed Doors. Her brother Janus was said to have gotten along well with Schala. She deeply cared for her younger sibling and looked out for him. Perhaps only she and Melchior knew of Janus' true power as well, for Janus expressed feeling the Black Wind to her at times. Schala also visited Algetty, where she entertained the children there and convened with the Elder. The people of Algetty later remarked that only Schala treated them as equals. After Crono's team was captured in her era, she mercifully released them in hope that they would in turn free Melchior from The Mountain of Woe. Unfortunately, The Prophet forced her to seal the Gate from which they arrived after they went back through. After Melchior was freed and the party regrouped among the Earthbound Ones, Schala noted that she had refused to help bring the Ocean Palace to full speed. Dalton soon kidnapped her, threatening to kill her if action were taken against him. There, she was forced to use the Pendant to unlock the Mammon Machine's full potential, which caused the Ocean Palace Incident. Aghast at the wild energies and dark auras erupting from the Machine, she attempted to stop it but was shocked into submission by her mother. In her last gesture, she transported Magus and the remaining party members away after Crono was killed in his attempt to save her and stop Lavos. This was her final appearance; she remained behind amid the collapsing palace. The only solace concerning her demise came at the ending of Chrono Trigger, when Magus noted that he would search for Schala in 12000 BC without fail. After defeating Lavos, it would become his life's objective. One of the unexplained mysteries of Chrono Trigger is what occurred regarding Schala in the Lavos Timeline during the original Ocean Palace Incident. Since her pendant was passed down to Marle, it is generally accepted that Schala was able to transport herself and possibly her mother out of the Palace before its collapse (her mother's absence tidily explaining why the Black Omen never originally arose). She also makes an appearance in the DS version of Chrono Trigger as part of the Dream Devourer, the secret final boss and the Time Devourer's unevolved form. She and the being were somehow bound both physically and mentally. After "defeating" the Dream Devourer she has a conversation with the Magus. She regains control of herself for a limited time and teleports Crono's team away. She then tells Magus he cannot hope to save her as long as people lean on the crutch of power. The other Magus then becomes angry and erases his memories in an attempt to do as Schala asks and save her without "power". He finds he is in the woods with no memories except that he is in search of something. Radical Dreamers Although never mentioned by name in Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki, Schala is referenced indirectly as a "girl from a far-off kingdom" who destroyed that Kingdom (Zeal) and was transported to a temporal dimension. Filled with loathing at what she had done, she could not continue living. So she made a duplicate of herself and sent it to be born into a new era. This attempted to loosely explain the fate of Schala and the identity of Kid as her incarnation before the advent of Chrono Cross. A vision reflected on the Mirror of Whispers depicts Schala and Janus playing in the courtyards of Zeal Palace. Janus whispers to Schala and her demeanor turns grave, before the vision fades. Gil reacts strongly to the vision, evincing the identity of the two children. Upon inspecting the Ballroom, Serge and the others discover a painting of a young girl that strongly resembles Kid, implying that the subject of the portrait is Schala. Chrono Cross Schala's fate at the end of Chrono Trigger was finally revealed. In the Ocean Palace, Schala was consumed in a dimensional vortex that brought her to the Darkness Beyond Time with the ruined Mammon Machine. There, where Lavos sat defeated by Crono, she was cruelly absorbed by the monster, resulting in the Dream Devourer (apparently, her fusion enabled Lavos the ability to consume time by having a way back into time or boosting his magical ability). The pure hatred and enmity of Lavos filled her mind, and she became split in wanting to destroy all existence and save the world and herself. This being was not complete, however, but eventually, the Dream Devourer would mature and begin destroying the universe. However, as Schala remained bound to Lavos, she heard Serge crying from being wounded by a panther demon, and struggled with all her might to make contact with the time period 1006 A.D. This caused the magnetic storm that nullified the power systems of Chronopolis and allowed Serge to touch the Frozen Flame and become its Arbiter. Before the hatred in her mind took over, she also cloned herself in the form of Kid and sent the baby to Lucca at an unspecified time (though the cloning had to take place in 1004 A.D.). Given to Kid as well was her ancient pendant, for protection. Thanks to Project Kid, Serge and his group were able to utilize the Time Egg and defeat the Time Devourer; using the Chrono Cross, they restored the dimensions into one and seamlessly separated Schala from the evil entity binding her. She then delivered an oration on the struggle of lifeforms to truly achieve "life" and evolve into something beautiful and new entirely. Before Serge returned to his own time, she noted that she would find him someday. The last appearance of Schala in the Chrono series is, like her disappearance in Chrono Trigger, painfully without stable ground. It is unknown where she goes after she is freed, or why finding Serge would be such an impossible task considering she knows that he is in 1020 A.D. Odd enough as well is the fact that she makes no mention of Magus, a brother who has devoted his life to finding her. However, the most enigmatic aspect of the ending is her deliverance of a few lines in Kid's manner of speaking and her signing the ending journal entry as Schala "Kid" Zeal. This raises the question of whether the two were fused together, but considering that Kid had declared her independence on Opassa Beach, and that we never see such a fusion, it is unlikely. Additionally, the issue of Schala giving her pendant to Kid and therefore not allowing Marle to receive it by way of Guardian heirloom is an old one. Additionally, it is worth noting that Harle bears a strong resemblance to Kid in facial and physical features. She also shares the same fortune as given by the Fortune Teller of Termina. Many attribute this to the fact that if the Dragon God were to create a human being, the closest set of genetics would be Schala trapped within the Time Devourer. Kid and Harle could thus conceivably come from Schala's genotype.

The inside of Lavos' body far extends beyond the outside of his body, hosting it's own time gate and the pod warping all of space-time within it), Aura (His presence made Frog comment on what the energy in the air was), Magic (Lavos is the very thing that created magic in the Chrono verse, making the ancient kingdom of zeal flourish in magic through using his energy, characters like Ayla who pre-date Lavos arriving on the planet have no ability to use magic along with Lavos being the very thing that powered the ancient magical Kingdom of Zeal), Elemental Manipulation (As he created magic it would extend to the types of magic: fire, water, light, and shadow. It is further noted that everything is made up of these four elements), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 6, 8, & 9. Has been around far before 65 million BC, and still exists even in the future. Can remove his head destroying the head does nothing to him. Due to Lavos evolving into the Time Devourer all subsequent Lavos’ of each timeline will all return back to the darkness beyond time with the Time Devourer, essentially making them all avatars of the Time Devourer. Can summon itself from parallel timelines to fight with it. Even if one kills Lavos he will just be sent back to the Darkness Beyond Time where there is no beginning nor end and can either be summoned back by another Lavos or evolve into the Dream Devourer. Even if Serge defeats Lavos in the Darkness Beyond Time he will not have defeated Lavos for good with the only way being able to kill him was to remove Schala from him then merge the entirety of the cosmology into one.

Is unbound by the causality loop of fate that attempts to force a cycle to continue), Mimicry (Physiology Mimicry, Stat Mimicry, Skill Mimicry, Power Mimicry & Technique Mimicry) & Cosmic Awareness (Can look through time and copy the powers of all the bosses Crono and co. have faced even if they haven’t faced them yet nor if the enemy exists yet, he can still power mimic them. As the Frozen Flame is a piece of Lavos, he has a complete perspective of the infinite timelines of the multiverse, perceiving every time period and alternate selves there are in a plane beyond space-time), Reactive Adaptation (Lavos is an evolved parasite that will continue to evolve and adapt to previous scenarios. Lavos stored and analyzed all the genetic coding of every creature on the planet, aiming to use it to induce self-evolution into the ultimate life form. His mere energy causes others to rapidly abnormally evolve, Absorbed Schala turning him into the Dream Devourer and then eventually evolving into the time devourer.

Is the very reason for all human evolution, along with feeding off of it. Further stated even by scientists abnormal development was due to Lavos’ biological contamination. Stated it possesses the DNA of every organism on the planet. As he manipulated everyone's DNA it's implied he manipulated the information of those who do not even originate from the planet), Passive Space-Time Manipulation & Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Merely awakening and summoning Lavos caused space-time to distort and Crono, Magus, and the rest of the party to be temporally sent to 23 million BC, Lavos causes events to happen all across space-time), Time Manipulation (Lavos landing caused a time gate to appear. The Frozen flame gives the user the ability to bend space-time, allowing them to re-shape history. The immense energy that Lavos radiates alters time creating time gates. Magus can control the time gates to open. Schala’s pendant protected Kid via rewinding time and sending her back to an immediate past where she was safe), Causality Manipulation (Lavos’ death causes all points in time to close altogether and if you do not return to your time period upon his death you will be lost in the flow of time), Portal Creation (The immense energy that Lavos radiates alters time creating time gates which are portals in time), Time Travel (Has a time gate within him.

Masa & Mune through focusing on the time egg can send Serge and his party back in time, though after a while they'll have a limit to how long they can keep Serge in said time period. Schala’s pendant protected Kid via rewinding time and sending her back to an immediate past where she was safe, removing all wounds from her Due to the power and strength of Lavos' control over space-time however it is likely he doesn't have this limitation), Absorption (Lavos absorbs the energy of the earth to grow stronger and stronger. The Masamune can absorb energy. Absorbs the lifeforce of the planet while sleeping. Was going to absorb Crono and co. if Schala didn’t teleport them out in time. Zeal makes note that the Mammon Machine would've absorbed the Crono and co. if they lost, intergrating them with Lavos), Power Absorption (Sapped Magus of his powers, can absorb one’s MP. Absorbs the planet while sleeping causing him to grow ever more powerful. Mammon Machine can sap all MP with MP buster. It's an insta-Counter to any physical/non-magical/energy attack. Drains all the magical energy from the target. When it changes phase as seen here it passively absorbs all Magic and Energy attacks as well as usable elements in the game, which include Light, Lightning, Dark, Fire and Water - so they heal it instead of damaging. Would've absorbed Serge along with the Chrono Cross if not stopped), Fusionism (Can unify himself with another to evolve himself into a more powerful and deadly entity. Fused together Masa and Mune can fuse together.

Fighting Lavos sends you into his vortex pocket dimension, Lavos has been having a power effect on the very fabric of space and time sending many to the End of Time, upon merely being summoned he temporally sent the entire party and Magus to 23 million BC, sent Magus as Janus and the Gurus to different time periods, including the end of time, which is infinite. The frozen flame was capable of sending Serge into the dimensional vortex a place that is rare for a physical being to wander in with spatially flat beings, Sprigg notes that returning the real world, it is a world with substance, where even the water and air is different. Sent Princess Schala in a dimensional vortex sending her to the Darkness Beyond Time.

When cast a massive triangular prism appears attacking all of the enemies with devastating shadow magic), Memory Manipulation (Magus erased his own memories after learning his journey to save Schala was ultimately pointless), Empathic Manipulation (Magus touched the back of Kid and Serge’s neck and instantly calmed them down), Non-Physical Interaction (Magus and Crono can harm spectors & shadows through the use of magic. Said spectors and shadows can’t be harmed by guns or blades), Telekinesis (Via psychokinesis), Teleportation (Can summon forth a boulder to attack the enemy, Masa and Mune can teleport), Curtain Fire (His rains of destruction could extend across the entire planet), Technological Manipulation (Can mimic and create technological weapons far before they even existed), Gravity Manipulation (The Black Omen caused a massive shift in gravity allowing it to bend space-time and appear in all 3 eras, with Robo even making note that Lavos has a natural gravitational pull upon his awakening. With Gravity Sphere), Statistics Reduction (Has the powers of the Masamune, which can reduce magical defenses and resistances, along with force fields and attack absorptions), Matter Manipulation (Robo states that Lavos would destroy their molecular structure if they’re pulled in his energy field), Conceptual Manipulation, Truth Manipulation Memory Manipulation & Morality Manipulation (Lavos is the source of the dreamstone, which created concepts beyond human comprehension such as love and hate, the black omen holds destiny in it's "Essential form". Everyone in existence is born from a dream and returns to dreams, with them borrowing the power of Lavos to materialize those dreams, dreams are a the manifestation of reality itself and every single thing is dreaing the dream of "life" itself and those things are just a dream of the dream of the planet where all things return to Zuran, the sea of dreams. Feasts upon thoughts, dreams, and memories, it is stated by Schala that dreams make up all of existence, with nightmares being beings that make up no form or substance, being completely incapable of being interacted with, even by characters that can interact with incorporeal enemies. Queen Zeal even notes all forms are an extension and are made up of dreams. Along with concepts such as truth existing within dreams. Schala states Lavos will consume the whole of her awareness, to where she wishes for the destruction of all of existence), Erasure (Space-Time Erasure; Lavos’ defeat caused the entire timeline to cease to exist), Power Bestowal (Touching the frozen flame makes one link with Lavos giving them extraordinary powers, along with bestowing eternal life), Blood Manipulation (Zombor can absorb the blood out of his opponent), Water Manipulation (Can hit with water magic), Radiation Manipulation (Lavos' attack caused massive radiation in the future transforming all of the monsters into powerful mutants that were considered so powerful people of both domes were shocked to see Crono and co. were able to fight them), Fate Manipulation (Lavos can cause the future itself to refuse change no matter what Crono and coc. do, this is likely similar to how Lavos can have fate join it's side and cause Serge to be fated to no longer exist. The Black Omen holds destiny in it's essential form, showing the future of the entire Crono cast if they failed to defeat Zeal and stop the Black Omen. Lavos can divert one's stream of time, making them die when they are not supposed to die), Dream Manipulation (The black omen holds the dreams of all, which concepts such as truth exist within dreams. Devourers dreams from an alternate dimension), Wish Granting (The Frozen Flame has the power to grant wishes), Law Manipulation & Erasure (Space-Time Erasure & Conceptual Erasure; During the adventure of Chrono Cross Lavos has made it where if Serge at all dies he will be completely erased, not even being allowed to be born within reality, along with having FATE join his side. FATE used it’s powers to erase a nonexistent timeline beyond the dimensions), Subjective Reality & Observation (Type 2; In the world of Chrono Cross the world is stabilized by the observations of the one who views it with each world having it's own observer, along with this in one's dream exists truth, the observation of many made supercomputer's such as FATE once they sealed away the dragon gods become literal gods of fate in the world), Dreaming Existence (Everyone in existence is born from a dream and returns to dreams, with them borrowing the power of Lavos to materialize those dreams, dreams are a the manifestation of reality itself and every single thing is dreaing the dream of "life" itself and those things are just a dream of the dream of the planet where all things return to Zuran, the sea of dreams).

Instead it corrupted the Masamune making it a blade of evil until Serge and co. purified it), Darkness Manipulation (Shadow magic heals him), Sealing (Should be able to break through seals through sheer strength like Serge did. His mere energy can negate seals), Reality Warping, Time Manipulation, Nothingness Manipulation (Can move, fight, and act within the Darkness Beyond Time, where there is no beginning or end, a place where all timelines, existent or non-existent go to feed Lavos’ strength. Should be able to move in the Bend of Time), Black Hole Creation (Survives being around Black Holes), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Like others in verse, can dodge his soul being taken out of him when the enemy uses hell soul), Fate Manipulation (After Serge killed FATE, Kid makes mention that destiny and fate itself is dead, with all characters having to make their own destiny), Subjective Reality, Probability Manipulation, & Quantum Manipulation (Lavos exists in the nonexistent timelines and can interact with the current timelines, which puts him outside of the worlds is stabilized by the observations of the one who views it, with Chrono Cross' explanation of how nothing is absolute and everything falls under possibilities and potentialities which all collapse under one observation, Chrono Cross falls under wave particle duality, making Lavos able to exist in the collapsed states of probabilities and making him unaffected by quantum probability)

All previous powers and abilities to a far greater extent, Enhanced Space-Time Manipulation & BFR (The Dragon God is an extension of Lavos who can send one through different pocket dimensions or timelines during the fight), The Dragon God is innately all elements thus can swap itself to any element, Light Manipulation (Harle is a dragon god and thus an extension of Lavos, giving him her ability to create moon light beams, moon shine uses lunar energy in order to create a shield that defends everyone), Cosmic Energy Manipulation (With Lunairetic, Harle will swing her right arm across her chest once, raising herself up into the air. While floating in mid-air, she swivels round to face a crimson-colored moon, with a shadow slowly passing over it. When the moon is completely obscured by this shadow, a lunar eclipse is formed, which blurs out and disappears. The camera will then shift its focus onto the enemies, whereupon the eclipse is observed to form on the ground they are standing on. As the eclipse fades away, thick swirls of light engulf the foes, forming rainbows as the light is reflected in different directions. As the colorful light fades away, a scaly orb is observed to collect the foes into its middle. Purple-colored rings of light are observed to rush continuously into the middle of the orb, until the orb explodes in a vein of black-colored lines against a white-colored backdrop. The field then reverts back to normal, whereupon the foes are dropped from the sky and sustain damage accordingly, along with inflicting any status types onto its targets), Dimensional Travel & Lower Dimensional Manipulation (Harle is able to enter into the temporal vortex and is the only way for Serge to escape the temporal vortex as she knows how to leave and enter said space), Creation (The Six Dragon Gods in their weakened state created Harle).

Merged Schala and Kid back into one), Sound Manipulation & Healing (The Chrono Cross can combine the sounds of the planet that the six types of elements produce, creating a “song of life” that can heal Schala of her suffering. The ghost of Crono goes on to note that it could cross space and time and unify people's thoughts and feelings; transfer memories; draw on the sounds of the six colored Elements to produce a healing harmony, and combine the sounds of the world into one melody), Dimensional Travel (Can travel into lower dimensional areas outside of reality), Summoning (Serge can summon all of his party members from another dimension with the Chrono Cross), Resurrection Negation, Regeneration Negation & Immortality Negation (Types 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9. True-Godly), Reactive Adaptation Negation, Nonexistent Physiology Negation (Separated Schala from Lavos and killed him once and for all, negating all of his survival abilities and making him unable to regenerate or resurrect back, nor was it something he could adapt too)

Standard Tactics:

Schala has never really fought but her common method of using her powering is BFRing the opponent to another area.

Dream Devourer instantly opens up with devouring dreams from an alternate dimension and will attempt to absorb the opponent. If attacked it passively drains MP or HP. It also wishes to destroy all of existence so it will lead with complete destruction.

The Time Devourer will have the Dragon God fight for it first where the Dragon God will be using all of it’s elements and swapping between different timelines and changing it’s innate element, if it’s defeated then one must journey beyond time and space to face Time Devourer Lavos where he will use the strongest element attacks such as Omega Green. The Time Devourer’s wish is to also erase everything so it will lead with this too.

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Note: There has been some questioning on the validity of whether Lavos summoned alternate versions of himself or just revived parts of himself as the official bs Chrono Trigger character library notes the pod on the right as the "true form" of Lavos along with his ability to to revive parts of him being shown during his first phase. However this misses some key points regarding the way he revives the pods back. The way he revives his helpers is them simply coming back from nothing and continuing the fight, however the way Lavos "revives" the pods is opening up a time gate bringing them back, along with this the entire fight is based off the center shifting through time itself, with this what "Lavos true form" moreso likely means is that this is the true Lavos of the timeline and the others are alternative timeline Lavos'.

Note 2: Lavos' rains of destruction feat that reaches across the entire planet isn't considered High 6-A as the feat no only didn't life wipe as there's humans still around but also, 2300 A. D. shows a lot of the planet wasn't destroyed in the conventional sense. A lot of vehicles and technology still work and the overall landscape while very bleak, isn't fully destroyed, thus there's no way to say he significantly affected the overall planet enough to warrant a High 6-A rating.

Note 3: There has also been questioning on Lavos creating the time gates due to a scene where Robo makes note that he thinks them saying Lavos creating the time gates is wrong, this is however contradicted by the scene of Lavos landing and a time gate appearing from where he landed and a time gate existing in him, along with this it's a purely theoretical idea posed by Robo never further expanded upon while Lavos has tangible evidence and has full control over space-time. Thus we have disregarded Robo's statement.
