In the original timeline, Schala was able to escape the Ocean Palace disaster, but, when time was rewritten by Crono and the gang, the situation changed. Apparently, Schala was thrown through a Gate and also wound up in the Darkness Beyond Time, where she merged with Lavos to become a new, more powerful entity known as the Time Devourer. Before losing all control to the Time Devourer, Schala managed to send a clone of herself, Kid, through to the world, in the hopes that Kid might one day help save her from her fate, and the world from the Time Devourer. Kid was discovered by Lucca, who had opened the orphanage. Later on, the Time Devourer would also engulf the Dragon God, essentially a biological machine built by the Reptites (who evolved to the Dragonians) in their Timeline.

Marle does make a brief appearance in CC; an apparition of her appears before Serge and company take on the Time Devourer in the Darkness Beyond Time.

I'll try to write a summary of CC later; I don't have time at the moment.
Ah yes Ive downloaded FMVs of the Time devourer and Schala and Squall of SeeD answered a few of my questions about her in a pm. Thats given me a good idea of the plot of CC, thanks.
