Chapter 2
Krono was sure that he died for real after blowing that nova bomb on the wizard, so seeing a elder looking human throwing a staff, no, not throwing, extending a staff directly to the face of a teen was not his guessed version of the life beyond death, and there's also the matter that both of them had monkey tails, the old man having one of reddish brown fur and the boy of blonde fur, mutation maybe? well, he knew enough to discern that they were not human at all.
"…now how about you introduce yourself mr. or do you prefer to lay there feigning to be still dormant"
Well, that's interesting…its the first time that his supposed control over his body gave him away toward someone else, but he was anything but sharp, so he concluded that maybe the elder had some sense way more developed than a normal human given the animal traits, still there was some pain coming from his chest and so far his ghost was still K.O. for the time being; so better try to greet the man, now if his throat didn't feel like sand paper…
"…how…long…?"
damn, he really felt like when a fellow warlock tried to make a beer following a very suspicious recipe from a hive codex, in short: never drink anything green. he stopped his musings when a glass of water rested on his gloved hands.
"Drink first, you must be thirsty behind that helmet young man"
Hmm, drink it or not drink it? he's thirsty and he assumed that they (whatever they were) didn't drag him from wherever he ended just to poison him, leaving the vase for a moment in the nightstand, guiding his hand toward the safety locks on his Dire Ahmankira Helmet, hearing the soft hiss of air when the safety came loose, still a bit tender from the ordeal of the wounds he slowly take off the exotic helmet leaving it on his lap, his messy silver hair curtaining part of his face shadowing his eyes, not that the natural glow coming from then revealed their color: golden with slitted pupils.
the blond teen looked surprised for a moment before a smug expression filled his face
"well you are not human thats for sure…but still you're pale as fuck"
he could have thrower an axion bolt at the boy if not for the staff that hit him on the face again, a ghost of a smile appeared for a few seconds before the man addressed him with the "doom stick" twirling in his hands, making him sat a bit more straighter and on guard.
"Sorry 'bout my student, he often thinks with his tongue instead of his head, name's Wukong, and that little urchin you saw was Sun...and who or what you are…?"
Ok, no harm done yet, and he couldn't loose anything more after all, so maybe introducing would be the best course of action…he hoped that his ghost wake up soon though.
"…Krono Voidwalker…Awoken"
Time-skip 1 year.
Living with the monkey faunus was an experience for the stranded guardian, after explaining what he was and what was his duty, Wukong told him all what he knew, about the planet which was called Remnant, the shattered moon ( which send shivers down his spine thinking if there was a hive up there) the creatures of the Grimm with left him somewhat interested on the creatures of darkness, the fact that humanity was divided in two: the normal humans and the faunus, persons with animal traits that can vary from person to person; he scoffed at the stupid mind of the humans here discriminating a whole race based on appearances; even if his world was far from perfect at least humans, exos, and awoken worked together for a common goal.
It took him some time before he could stand on his feet again, and strange enough his ghost still laid inactive but his light felt…different for the lack of better word, like there was a change on it; the elder faunus was intrigued by his abilities or as he called it 'Aura', and his descriptions of the super made the faunus talk about unique semblances, so 'Offering' (demanding) a spar he became surprised by the fact that his abilities had improved to the grade that he could switch between his void walker and sun singer skill with a though, also the was a change in his Radiance and Nova bomb. For exemple the Nova now can use the lance, shatter and vortex in one single attack, making it a deadly technique however there was a drawback on it, it left him weak for 5 minutes; the radiance was the same deal but it had the same drawback, only that it took longer to recharge. The small comfort was that at least he can resurrect himself until his ghost go back online.
Another thing that got all his attention was these mecha-shift weapons, and lucky him the old man knew how to make them even if he didn't use them so much, however in exchange of the teachings of how to make them he had to work under him and learn with monkey boy. Traveler those months were a pain, not for the exercise because all the guardians (except Exos) are naturally fit for combat on their own way; no, the pain was to try and not throw Sun in the deepest of a Grimm nest covered in honey, lets see now who's laughing now…
When he searched for materials to make his new weapons, the faunus surprised him by handing him the blade of Crota, that take him by surprise thinking that the blade should had vanished somewhere else or stay on the Temple,; not being one to look down any opportunity he chose to melt down the blade (however it was very difficult, the needed heat to even melt the blade was extremely high). in the end was worth it, by disassembling the "Thorn" and remaking it in a bastard sword/blade, and the metal had the property to channel his power toward it so he in theory would made the edge covered in dark energy (which he noticed was very effective against aura shielding) or in solar energy for obvious effects, and still he had enough material to reforge his trusty pulse rifle the Bad Juju, this time in a scythe gun; he still got material for more guns but chose to leave his remaining loot as it were.
Almost after a year Krono decided to went on his way toward the world, his teacher understood and so did Sun, who with time started to view him as a good friend, he even asked if he wanted to go with him to Haven Academy, a good hunter school in Atlas; he had to decline however, saying that he technically had more experience than most of these hunters and didn't like to work in groups unless necessary, so with that said Krono took the next flight to Vale, last thing he heard someone named Hei Xiong was hiring muscle, well he might not be a titan but after spending time with a crazy bo master and a monkey boy with shotgun-chakus he was sure that it would be easy…mostly.
Time-skip 7 months latter.
Turns out, it was a nice job…once you ignore the I.Q. of the "security" that 'Junior' or Hei often hired, so far the ones he tolerated were the Malachite twins, Melanie for her no-nonsense attitude and Miltiades for her tranquil personality. Junior was ok most of the times but there was times were he wondered if someone would mind if he made him a lobotomy warlock style. For traveler sake serving drink to minors? Really?
But what made him stay if only for a bit more was Junior resources, often getting jobs that these "hunters" ignored or outright frowned, for him it was a nice source of income, so far he made himself a reputation as a man that get the jobs done, however he still had ethics, something that Roman Torchwick had to learn the bad way when he refused to work for him.
'Pfft, maybe now he will use that cane of him other than to shot firecrackers'
He though amusedly from a private balcony on the club, downing his mix in an instant, another perk of being a sunsinger was that he can burn the alcohol and any other substance on his body anytime he wants, so drinks+radiance=no hangovers…damn that should had come in handy that time he accepted that green thing.
"Hey K, I got something for you!"
turning his gaze from the patrons toward his employer he throw his empty bottle to a guy that was getting to close to the red twin, receiving an appreciative glance from Miltiades and a scoff from Melanie that was the closest thing he got to a "thank you", then Blinked from the balcony to the bar startling Junior
"Damn…never going to get used to that, anyway some contract came into my hands and guess what? they need a guy who can watch over some Schnee train"
Behind his skull themed helmet, a frown started to form in Krono's face; In the past he made a few jobs for the Schnee company and that was enough for him to hate them, as they practically made legal slavery, a concept too barbaric to him.
"Theres always another side of the coin with Schnee company, what else can you tell me?"
Junior shrugged as he served the part time mercenary another drink, amused by the sight of his 12th drink of the night.
"Dunno…but there's rumors of the White Fang being more active lately, maybe you can sort out something"
This time the frown changed from a simple frown into a dark scowl; one thing of remnant that Krono hate most than grim were these terrorist: the white fang, his master Wukong said that once it was a peace organization between faunus and humans, but somewhere among the lines someone decided that it was better to attack humans than to seek coexistence. Now Krono tried to see the reasons from their behavior but after one incident lets just said that he became a big thorn at their sides.
"Thanks for the info, take care of yourself Hei, tell the twins Im going for a time"
"Yeah yeah just get going already K, sometimes I wonder what the twins saw in you"
"For one thing…common sense and my skills"
Krono put his helmet back in its place and took the clock that Miltiades gave him, making him blend far more easy in the crowd, however just when he was crossing the entrance a blond haired girl, maybe a bit younger than him stumbled with his frame
"Sorry I didnt saw you there"
He raised a non visible eyebrow at her cheery voice and…chose of attire for the matter, meh he had seen better.
"There's no problem miss" thanks the Traveler for spare parts to make a voice distorting mic for the helmet.
Yang Xiao Long raised a eyebrow at the synthetic voice and the clothes of the person who she bumped.
'well thats not creepy at all…'"can you tell me where can i find someone called Junior?"
the strange guy looked her over, either in perversion or suspicion she couldn't guess behind that cloak of him, there was no face showing at all. After a few seconds she started to grew impatient before the guy raised a gloved finger in direction toward the back from where he came from, Yang looked at where he signaled seeing the guy that had the description of the one she was looking for.
"Oh thats him! Thank…you?"
The stranger was no longer there, as if he just vanished…
'What a creepy guy, but damn that cloak did hide some muscles'
She tough with a sly grin before going back to business, and maybe a Strawberry Sunrise.
Outside
"What a strange girl…somehow I felt pity for Junior already…somewhat"
Krono mumbled as he went to the rather private part of the parking lot, and making sure that no-one saw him he 'summoned' for the lack of better term his Timebreaker Sparrow, going at high velocity where he was supposed to see his contract, not seeing the camera that focused on him for a few moments; in another part a grey haired man drinker his tea calmly studying the images taken by the security cameras on the city.
'Mmm, this is going to be interesting…'
End of chapter 2, next time on Chapter 3 - Train Battle
