This is a super cool thing I found out while playing this game
FIRST part of business you need to have completed the Sun/Moonstone
side-quest and the rainbow shell side-quest done (explained here)

SUN\MOONSTONE Part 1
when you get the EPOCH( Wings of Time) and the old man at the end of time give you the message of all those quests that need to be done( Lofty Knight In ruins, woman's sheer determination brings a forest back to life, etcetera, etcetera Go to the year 2300 and fly until you see an island with a cave AND an Empire State Building like structure in ruins Go in the cave to see an Orb like creature. Approach it. (you will need ether good eye coordination or lots of mid/full tonics to beat this guy. He creates 5 fire balls around him for protection. The key here is to NOT EVER attack the Son of Sun (orb) but to attack the right fireball. if you attack the right fireball you will do 213-216 damage to the Orb. BEWARE the fireballs do spin and if you have good eye coordination you will see the right fireball after the spin. if you hit a wrong fireball you will suffer due to its flame counterattack.
After beating the son of sun chase it up to the altar and it will turn into the moonstone.
 
SUN/MOONSTONE part 2
After obtaining the moonstone go fly to the year 65,000,000 BC and search for the island with a cave. If you arrive at the sun keep you have gotten to the right area. place the moonstone in the sunlight.
leave and go to the year 1000 AD. At the sun keep there you will find out that someone stole the sun stone (evil persons)! Go fly around and in one of the towns you will see a Glimmering house. Go in there And if you've been here before you will know that this is the house of the money hungry mayor of that town. To get it back from the mayor stay in the town until you find the guy with the jerky. buy it, leave and then on fly to 600 AD and go in that same house as the mayor lives in (only this house is in 600 AD. Talk to the lady that needs jerky and will buy it for 10000 gp. Instead say you will give it to her for free. She then says all of her children will learn your kind ways. (the mayor in the 1000 AD town is a descendent of that lady). Fly back to 1000 AD and Discover that the mayor is now super generous the mayor just gives the moonstone just like that!  Return to the sun keep and place the moonstone in the sun for its final years of energizing. Fly to the year 2300 to the sun keep( Not the sun palace where you fought the son of sun) and Grab the orb.

SUN/MOONSTONE part 3
Return to 1000 AD with Lucca in the party. Go to lucca's house to extract all the energy from the stone. you get an item from Taban, too


Now you have to do the Rainbow shell side-quest now

RAINBOW SHELL part 1
to get the rainbow shell you must first go to the year 600 and fly to the town with the northern ruins. find the bar where Toma the adventurer( guy with the red headband on. He tells you if he doesn't return from finding the Rainbow Shell pour this pop on his grave. You get Toma's Pop. Fly back to the year 1000 and in that same town look for the tombstone. go to it and pour the pop on it. his ghost appears and tells you you can find the rainbow shell in the Giants Claw (this area will now open up to you).

RAINBOW SHELL part 2
fly back to the year 600 and find the giants claw. If you now have noticed this is the Tyranno Lair ruins from 65,000,000 BC. I am not going to go through all the details but I will explain the boss.
The Rust Tyranno
this prehistoric beast you should have met before. he was the boss of the Tyranno Lair. Being quite easier than before he should be a cincher.
Just use Crono's Luminare allot and you should be fine. After his final defeat. go get the rainbow shell. Unfortunately for you it is far to heavy.
As you run back out of the cave you are warped to the castle of Guardia. the king promises he will store it as a national treasure.


now having completed both tasks lets move on to a big scene where you should meet some friends of the past.

FALSE CHARGES part1
Return to the year 1000 with Marle in the party. go to the Guardia castle and you will find that the Chancellor has now accepted Crono as no threat BUT the king is being accused of Stealing a Royal Treasure (Rainbow shell) and selling it. you will now see a room you haven't seen before. the basement. Unfortunately a guard is there for the time being. Go up the stairs to find Guards standing in front of a door. Marle yells at them to move it. you go through the doors you will enter the courtroom (as before) and find the king being accused of stealing a treasure from the castle. HELP PROVE HE IS INNOCENT!!! Go downstairs. you can do that now.

FALSE CHARGES part 2
When you are downstairs you see the guard laying down saying he was bitten by a rat. advance further in the basement and will meet some old friends from the 600 AD cathedral. The Nagettes and the Gnashers. fight them and continue on into the Rainbow Shell room. Marle grabs a shard of the shell to prove that it wasn't stolen. return to the courtroom doors only to find the doors are now guarded by more persistent guards and will not let you through. BIG SCENE TIME!

FALSE CHARGES part 3
I have no idea how she did it but just as the courtroom was about to place the king under arrest Marle jumps through the stain glass window along with the rest of the party. they show the shard to the judge and he changes the verdict to NOT GUILTY. But that doesn't stop the FAKE chancellor from overthrowing the king. he reveals himself as...
YAKRA VIII?! This guy is a lot harder than YAKRA I. Same attacks, More Powerful and Way More HP.  Not really any attack changes. Defeat him and that is the last time you will see him again.

Now about the real Chancellor. Go back to the courtroom and look for the YAKRA key. then look for a locked chest. HAHA! chancellor in the Chest.

Now about the sword...
Go down to the basement again and to the Shell room. You will find MELCHOIR there Give him the Extracted Energy from the Sunstone. He will then make you the Rainbow Sword
INFO ----
Attack.... I think around 230 but I'm not sure
Special...70% Critical hit rate.

As well Melchoir will also make you ether 3 prism Helms or 1 prism dress. ( I suggest the dress because nothing can surpass the defense of the dress while some thing surpass the helms).
