The technological rise of Porre

[Magus_Brokenhart]

Lynx was influenced by FATE, which had vast knowledge of everything that happened. FATE came from the future, and was the one that indirectly killed Lucca.

[Thought]

It isn't confirmed that Lucca was killed by FATE or Lynx... or anyone, for that matter.

Admittedly, she probably was, but Kato left himself enough room to justifiably use her in a future game.

[IAmSerge]

Its kinda like the Final Dragon.  You killed it's plasma-being, but it's true self was absorbed by the TD a long while ago.
If the CC split Schala from the TD, then why cant the Dragons have been separated from the TD some form or another as well? eh?

Edit: I mean its kinda like it in a "Not probably but theres just enough room to change that in the future"

[Acacia Sgt]

Maybe because of being absorbed. Different case than Schala's, who is part of the being, but not absorbed into it.

So in short, there was no hope for the Dragon God in being freed.

[IAmSerge]

absorbed, merged... I would use these 2 interchangably... who actually knows how the Final Dragon was morphed in with the TD...  if it was absorbed (destructively) then its destruction would be immenent and there would be no ability for it to create "Plasma beings" of itself....

on the contrast if it was interjoined with the TD in a similar was as Schala... then maybe it is still out there?
or what about all the other stuff the TD took in?

[Dark Serge]

When did the Dragon God get absorbed by the TD? Wasn't it just split up and sealed away by FATE?

[Acacia Sgt]

Yes, FATE did seal them, though they weren't the real ones, as Belthasar tells in Terra Tower, as well that they were absorbed long ago.

[Thought]

They were the real ones, but they'd also already been absorbed. Either this was a bit of an oversight, Kato wasn't entirely clear on what he meant, or it was because of a discarded timeline. Don't forget that there was a future now ruined in which Dragonopolis was never brought to the keystone dimension. Thus, a timeline in which the Dragon God was never brought over. When it was, its could-have-been future was destroyed.

[IAmSerge]

...thusly sending its "could-have-been" future Dragon God to the DBT...

...weather or not the TD absorbs all that comes into the DBT or not...

[Magus_Brokenhart]

You could say assimilated...Like eaten and digested for the use of energy. When you eat some ham, it becomes a part of you in a way. Sucks for the Dragon God.

[IAmSerge]

...one way or another, what I want to truly know is:

A: when truly was the Final Dragon actually consumed or conjoined with the TD, and

B: How the Final Dragon still exists even as a plasma semi-existant being after being absorbed/conjoined?

[Thought]

Well if my wild speculation is correct, the Dragon God that we saw in the game and the Dragon God assimilated by the TD were totally separate things, in the same way that the Lavos in the DBT was totally different than the Lavos Crono & Co defeated (that TD-Lavos being the discarded future Lavos, not the defeated lavos).

But the key phrase there is "wild speculation"

[IAmSerge]

But the key phrase there is "wild speculation"

im preeetttty sure thats what this entire forum is about =D

[Acacia Sgt]

Though not this thread. I think there is a thread for this somewhere.

But anyway, I never thought of it that way, that the TD Lavos and CT Lavos were different ones, but now that I think about it, it makes sense, and so obvious...

I prefer to stay away from thinking of it like that...

I prefer to think of the TD lavos and the CT lavos being 1 and the same...

... otherwise it makes me wonder: Why is there only one?  Has there not been an innummerable amount of futures and dimensions sent to the DBT, and thusly an innumerable amount of schalas and Lavos's sent there too?

...unless the DBT is not the collection of erased dimensions and futures, but merely:
Each dimension has its own DBT... and it collects all the things from lost futures cumulatively... and say if one object is sent to the DBT in one future it isnt sent again, just erased....  and then under that circumstance,

oh wait... completely contradicts the whole CC dimension travel.
