The barren, desolate world of 2300 A.D. sits in darkness, receiving only a few beams of light that bleed through the cloudy, black atmosphere. Wind howls over cities bereft of most life and gutted hundreds of years ago. Human civilization consists of a scant number of dwellers in self-contained domes who live a monotonous existence without hope. They survive with the Enertron, a device that preserves human health but cannot cure the ever-present feeling of hunger. The most vital forms of life are machines populating Factory and Geno Dome, where the Mother Brain AI conspires to create an order of steel. Robo lies dormant in the Proto Dome, while far away, Johnny races in Lab 32 for his following of fans—the only glimpse of entertainment and fun in a world reigned over by eternal night. The Guru Belthasar also resides in this era, thrown here from the Ocean Palace Incident. The conditions drive him to insanity as he completes the Epoch. He is not the only influence from Zeal—the palace that once housed the Sun Stone has arisen from the bottom of the sea.

Crono, Marle, and Lucca first arrive after escaping the forces of the Chancellor in 1000 A.D. They investigate the lower regions of the Arris Dome, discovering a seed that gives hope to the dome's residents. Doan, leader of the Arris Dome and a descendant of Marle, gives the party his Bike Key for use in Lab 32. Johnny then challenges Crono to a race, and players can earn prizes according to how long he or she spends in front of Johnny. They next find Robo in the Proto Dome, where Lucca reactives him; he helps the party open the door to a Gate. The party later returns to retrieve the Epoch, stored in the Keeper's Dome's hangar by Belthasar's Nu. After the Ocean Palace Incident in the Keystone Timelines, the party returns once more to ascend Death Peak, where Lavos is said to preside over the ruined world. They activate the Chrono Trigger, taking them to the Ocean Palace in 12000 B.C. to extract Crono a split-second before Lavos obliterates him. The party then make two visits for sidequests. They first find the Sun Stone within the Sun Palace (guarded by the Son of Sun) and take it to 65000000 B.C. for recharging. It is then reclaimed from this era's Sun Keep (although the party must get it back from the Porre Mayor first). Lastly, Robo discovers that his parent Mother Brain AI has gone insane and is slaughtering humans to create a machine civilization. The party stops Mother Brain's twisted ambition, and Robo inadvertently kills his brainwashed friend Atropos XR (though she will be fine in the new timeline after Lavos's defeat).
