OOC: Chrono Crusade crew "getting on the same page" pow-wow time.
If you're not in the Chrono Crusade crew, feel free to ignore this! I'm just sorting out canon/fanon with everyone. <3
Okay, so here's what I'm thinking for Chrono's restart:
Chrono and Aion fight, with Shader watching. Chrono has an edge since he has his horns and Aion's were destroyed, but Aion's still a difficult opponent. After a long battle, Chrono manages to get past Aion and towards the core. Once there, he tries to control Pandaemonium and manages to get it at the above Earth's atmosphere (or...around there--however far he'd need to get it to the point that it'd just cause a ring around the Earth). But Aion manages to get back over to where Chrono is and they struggle over the controls--eventually one of them (Chrono won't know who) sets off something that causes the explosion that Shader mentioned to him.
The explosion is going to be the point where Chrono gets taken back to the City. Because he'll be taken RIGHT at that moment, he has no idea whether Aion survived or not. (And he might wonder if the Shader from "his time" survived, too.) The blast is also what'll cause Chrono to lose his right arm. He'll have some other wounds from the battle and the explosion, as well, but since he'll be coming here to the City right afterwards, he'll be able to heal them as he normally would with a day or two of rest. His arm, however, will still have corrupted legion, so he'll be unable to recover that wound.
His appearance in his true form will be pretty much the same as seen in the final volume, minus his right arm. When he turns into his "humanesque" form, the changes to that form will be:
-Some discoloration on the skin of his right shoulder and left ear.
-His blind eye (left) will be discolored. Not to an extreme, but probably to the point that he'll appear to have heterochromia. Maybe his left eye will appear reddish-brown instead of the bright red it naturally looks?
-Scars on his face--one stretching from the left corner of his mouth up towards his ear, and another, much less noticeable one under his right eye. (And probably a few small ones scattered around his body--it looks like he has a small scar on his right arm in the epilogue.)
And, of course, the missing arm. Otherwise, he'll seem mostly normal after his wounds heal.
Sooooo, what do you guys think? Does that work OK? Am I going too overboard with the physical changes to his disguised form? And does the outcome of the battle work out OK, too? You guys are all going to have to deal with the changes, sooo...let me know if there's anything you don't like or want clarification on!
