I was reading some people's theories on Schala... I'm sure there's a hole in this one somewhere but here's what first struck me when I beat Chrono Cross. See what you think.
We know Schala was immensely powerful... More so than Zeal herself. (And we know what a pain in the butt Zeal was!) It's also been asserted that time doesn't flow inside Lavos' pocket dimension, but only time-error... Thus, Schala didn't age. But what really hit me was the simple fact that she was still alive in 1020 AD!
Think about it... Lavos couldn't have merged with her without a fight. And according to CC, "half of her mind" was corrupted by Lavos while the other half remained pure and intact. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it makes Schala seem almost godlike. See, my thought is that as a result of Lavos being woken up in 12000 BC, he would have destroyed the world right then. But when Crono and the others left, there was nothing left for Schala to do but fight. It kind of makes me think Lavos was preoccupied by fighting Schala...and that he didn't actually finish overtaking her until 1999 AD, when she finally gave in and died.
Anyway, I just found it interesting to think of Lavos and Schala going at it for 13000 years, until eventually it came to a near stalemate as they couldn't even attack each other, but simply press their wills against one another. I'm sure there's a hole in this somewhere, but what are your thoughts and reactions to this?
