This could explain a lot about Lavos/TD/Schala/Black Omen

[Zaperking]

Yeah lol, I should of mentioned that.

BTW, I kinda get confused.
Whats the difference between Keystone 1, Keystone 2 and the Lavos timeline? Well acctually I understand the Lavos one but what about the Keystones?

[Salvadeiro]

I always thought (please dont criticise me lol) that Queen Zeal merges with Lavos briefly.  They escape to the moon where they breed meteors and send them to earth, ultimately causing Chaos.  A whole bunch of other crap happens, then in a little schism, Queen Zeal falls from Lavos and remains atop the Black Omen in her two forms, her corporeal and her mal-sanctal ( her....hand like form)

[Clowd]

Salvadeiro, how did you manage to arrive at that conclusion, that's a story I'd like to hear about.

Anyway, I'm also getting a little confused with the whole keystone 1 & 2 timelines along with lavos's.

just tell me if I got this straight.

Lavos Timeline - Everything in CT, up until Crono and co. kill Lavos.
Keystone 1 - The timeline that was created when lavos was killed/destroyed
Keystone 2 - Created by the timecrash,CC's timeline.

On topic, Why would Lavos's energy stay within the "vortex/pocket dimensions" when he leaves them (refering to the one time your theory claims he does this).

[Lordchander]

About the Timelines Clowd, u r right so spread the word to those who dont know!



~LC, comin atcha loud and clear!

[Legend of the Past]

No.

Lavos Timeline-Everything that happans before Crono's journey.

Keystone Timeline 1- The timeline created by Crono

Keystone Timeline 2- The Timeline created by the Time Crash.

[Lordchander]

Sorry legend, I missed the Lavos Timeline mistake!



~LC, signing out and apologyzing to Legend...

[Clowd]

No.

Lavos Timeline-Everything that happans before Crono's journey.

Keystone Timeline 1- The timeline created by Crono

Keystone Timeline 2- The Timeline created by the Time Crash.

ok, so the lavos timeline is where Crono does nothing, lavos destroys the world, yadda yadda yadda.   Now, Keystone Timeline 1 is created due to Crono's journey, ending in the destruction of Lavos, creating a new future.

now, to me, it appears that the only difference between the lavos timeline and the Keystone 1 timeline is that Keystone 1 contains the future where Chronopolis is created, while the Lavos timeline contains the destroyed future.  Thus, making the only difference between the two weither or not Lavos is Destroyed, causing Chronopolis to exist.

so... yeah.... please correct me if I'm wrong, as you can see I'm new here.

[Legend of the Past]

Yes, well, you're sort of right. But there are lots of changes in between, that are small changes when looking at the fate of the world, but big in terms of the characters themselves. For example:

Lavos Timeline: No forest in Zenan, Magus is worshiped in Medina Village, humans die of starvation in 2300 AD, etc.

Keystone Timeline 1: Forest is planted in Zenan, Medina Villagers worship no one, the humans live peaceful lives with FATE in the future.  

See? There are differences. But, if you look in a universal point of view, your look is just as accurate.

[Salvadeiro]

So basically, had Crono left everything alone, this would have greatly contradicted his destiny (the second timeline.)

[Legend of the Past]

(the second timeline.)

What do you mean, Keystone Timeline 1 or 2?

[Salvadeiro]

Sorry lol the First Keystone one.

[Legend of the Past]

Yes, if he woulden't go to the fair, or at the very least not meet Marle the Lavos Timeline would still apply.
