Got Grammarly the chapter's more enjoyable.
Purpose in Battle
Though he didn't feel it, Hazel can tell that kick was hard. He never thought a child could hit that hard. He pulled out two Dust crystals, fire, and lightning.
Kron saw the crystals and realized what they were. 'Fire and lightning Dust crystals' He then quickly looked at the boring man. 'No weapons? What's he going to do with-'
Hazel then stabbed the crystals into his own forearms.
The Saiyan's eyes widened. Ok, that was unexpected. "Um, are you killing yourself so I don't do it?" Funny the large man didn't seem scared of him at all.
Salem's minion said nothing, yellow and red veins showed in his veins. Lightning danced across his arms and fire showed at his fingertips.
Now this man looked intimidating. "Well, this is an improvement." He smiled, maybe he won't be a pushover after all.
Without replying Hazel threw a fist down at the boy.
Quickly the child sidestepped the punch, he sees lightning and fire on the ground when it made contact. He looked at the brute surprised. "Are you going to fight bare ha-Oh!"
Hazel backhanded the boy, it sent him skidding across the ground a few feet away. Kron lifted himself up, he had the same shocked expression on his face.
He hit him with his bare hands, he really intends to fight him with no weapon. And it hurt.
The man then swung his hand releasing lightning from his palm.
Focused Kron jumped out of the way and sees the lightning explode where he was. Really invested he looked back at the hulking man.
He uses his body to fight and can fire projectiles out of his hand. Kind of like a Saiyan. This made him smile.
Hazel looked puzzled, he expected this to scare the boy, for him to see reason. But from the look on his face, all he can see is…. excitement?
"You know what, I'm sorry for thinking you were some boring weakling." Kron apologized almost sincerely. "Because you're turning out to be the funnest opponent I've had!" He truly meant it, fighting huntsmen with different weapons was interesting, but a fight real Saiyans enjoyed was very simple. Fists and explosions!
The burly man growled, he hated to see a child so young have a taste for violence. The same violence that took Gretchen.
"Now, let's have some fun!" The Saiyan growled and dashed towards his opponent.
Hazel was surprised, he was faster than Tyrian reported.
Kron jumped up and threw a punch at Hazel's face.
But Hazel quickly rose his arm and blocked it.
Though he can't feel the pain, he can tell the punch had more force than the kick he received earlier. Clearly, he will have to take the boy seriously to complete his mission.
Kron got on the ground and threw a punch at the man's abdomen, it made Hazel stumble but he didn't groan. Good, he preferred his opponents to have a high pain tolerance.
Hazel then kicked the boy up his chin sending his body upward, he then threw an electric and fire-powered punch at his get sending him away.
The Saiyan flew backward and caught himself on his feet. He sees the human charging at him.
He rose his arms to block another punch, he managed to stay on his feet but he feels fire and electricity in his arms. Quickly he pushed his arm up and swept kicked Hazel, he fell on his back, he then grabbed one of his legs and lifted him up, and slammed him on the ground on his face.
He was going to do it again, but Hazel kicked him away with his other foot.
As Kron looked at him he sees Hazel already charging at him as if he wasn't in pain.
Hazel through a fist only for Kron to block it with one arm.
Not stopping the behemoth threw multiple punches and Kron blocked or caught them until he was about to block another punch it stopped, suddenly he sees Hazel's other hand coming down on his head. He realized that he fell for a feint punch.
The child was hit on top of his head, his face hit the ground, then he was kicked up his chin sending him in the air again, and this time Hazel grabbed his small leg into his giant hand. He then slammed him on the ground.
Kron's mouth let out some spittle, the force of his attacks hurt him so much. But not enough to deter him, he sat himself up and fired a Ki blast.
Hazel was hit on the face, the impact forced him to let go of Kron's leg and stumble backward.
Immediately the Saiyan stood back and flew up to the burly man's face. He threw a punch across his face then another, he then thrust his elbow straight into his face then made him fall on his back a second time. He then flew down and kicked his stomach. He then rose his arms and prepared a Ki ball the size of a beach ball, but to his surprise, Hazel grabbed his face making him toss his Ki ball away.
Hazel got up still gripping the boy's face and slammed him on the ground. He rose a fist, he hesitated, but then he reasoned that he cannot afford to show the child mercy no matter how much he wanted to. He threw a punch into the boy's stomach, then another.
Kron coughed as he was punched there, his last meal was threatening to come up, on top of it he felt both burning and shocking sensations go through his body. He focused his Ki and pushed himself to fly up as Hazel's hand still gripped his face. He then kicked his arm and the force made the large man let go.
Now seeing his enemy Kron threw a kick only for Hazel to block it with his arm.
Hazel recognized that the boy was faster, stronger without his Dust supplements, and he was able to read the child's savage fighting style.
Kron threw a punch only for the man to block it, he then tried to kick across his face.
Hazel quickly ducked and rose with his arms spread apart. He caught the boy in a bear hug.
The Saiyan was surprised by this tactic and ashamed that he let himself get caught in it.
Hazel looked down at the child he ensnared, he was squirming doing all his might to escape, and he might actually succeed. So he started to squeeze his arms.
"Ahhhh!" Kron screamed in pain as he felt like he was getting crushed.
Hazel hated this, he's killed and torture plenty as Salem ordered. But he never dreamed he'd do it to a child. But nonetheless, he has his mission and he can't do it with this boy's conscious, so he kept squeezing.
Kron kept trying to push the giant arms away but the man's hold on him was good and his strength is either equal or not too far below his own. He kept trying to force his way out but to no avail. His bones will keep breaking if he kept this up. He'd blast his face with Ki but his arms are useless. No choice he'll have to try something else.
Hazel looked at the boy as he squeezed and noticed that he stopped resisting. That's odd. Was he giving up?
Kron opened his mouth and white light started coming out.
The man's eyes widened with surprise as a Ki ball from the boy's mouth hit his face making him take steps back and letting the boy go.
Kron fell to the ground and grabbed his jaw. "Ah!" His mouth hurt more than the rest of his body, no wonder most Saiyans preferred not to fire Ki out of their mouths. He may have hurt his teeth with that maneuver. He shook his head he needed to focus.
Hazel quickly recovered, he thought trapping his arms would keep him from using his 'semblance' but apparently, he can fire from his mouth.
Kran ran between his legs and to go behind Hazel, he jumped up and slammed his fists on the back of his head, he then kicked at his back making him stumble.
The boy was about to slam into his back, but Hazel quickly backhanded him sending him flying away.
Wanting to end this now Hazel waved his hand and fired lightning.
Kron sees the lightning coming but is unable to dodge, it struck him and he screamed in pain.
Hazel closed his eyes hating what he was doing. When the screaming and zapping stopped, he opened them to see the child on the ground. His armor was still in tack, his left pant leg was in tatters and there were bruises across his skin. With a heavy sigh, he began to walk but sees the child moving, although in pain.
He was shaking, hiding his face, and making noises. Was the child crying?
The man felt even more guilty, but perhaps now he will see reason. "Child, please, no more of this. Let's go and-" He stopped when the noises were getting louder and it didn't sound like crying but, laughter.
"Hahaha" Kron laughed loudly and smiled like a child being told he'd be getting a new toy. "No more of this? Are you kidding I want nothing but this!" He continued to laugh as if Hazel told the funniest joke anyone's ever heard.
Hazel looked astonished at the child, he hit him with no mercy at all, he fired lightning at him for god's sake. And he wanted more? Did he also possess an ability that numbs pain? He remembered his fellow associate, was this how Tyrian was when he was this boy's age?
Kron stretched his limbs seeing the look on his opponent's face. "Don't be so surprised, it's not the first time I've been struck by lightning." He remembered the day Raven tried to kill him, normally thinking of that soured his mood but now was different. "A month ago it might have knocked me out or even kill me." Now he feels like he can see his growth, maybe Raven's lightning was more potent or whatever but he knows that he's gotten stronger.
So this boy has been through more than plenty of fighting. It was no wonder that he gave Tyrian trouble and from the looks of it defeated Sienna a high-ranking member of the White Fang. He's even more vicious than he imagined. Perhaps he can use that.
After Kron stretched his other arm he took his fighting stance. "Alright ready?"
Hazel needed his Aura time to recharge in order to continue fighting. "You love fighting this much?"
"Course I do." He thought that was obvious.
His aura was almost recharged and he continued. "If you come with me you'll be able to f-" He swayed an energy blast aimed at his head.
Kron looked really annoyed. "You people are sounding like a broken record." Seriously! Blah, blah bla! 'Do what I say and I'll give you what you want!' What does it take for the natives to understand that he will obey no one! And he was starting to enjoy the man too.
Hazel's Aura successfully recharged; he was ready to fight but he wanted to try one last effort at talking the boy down. "Boy, is that really all you desire to fight and nothing else?"
"Duh," Kron replied rolling his eyes.
"Is that truly your only purpose to fight nonstop, do you not have a goal, something else to strive for?"
Kron looked surprised and then angry. That question brought up thoughts he wanted to stay buried until he took out Raven. "That's it, you're done talking!"
Such an angry response, Hazel concluded that he touched a nerve.
The Saiyan charged at him.
Hazel threw a punch, Kron used his tail to wrap around his larger wrist and used it to pull himself over the arm kicked across his face, he then chopped at the man's neck.
The large man turned to the boy as if nothing happened and threw a punch, fire, and lightning appeared on his fist.
Kron blocked it with his arms, the giant fist batted him away and he felt burning and shocking go through him.
The boy landed on the ground and looked at his arms. There were burns across his arms and shocking pain were felt in his arms. He smiled, the rush he was feeling was better than he expected.
Hazel reached into his pouch and pulled out more fire and lightning Dust crystals, along with a glowing white one.
Kron sees what he's doing. He's putting more into his body. Well, this fight was going to be even better.
Salem's minion stabbed himself in the arms and focused on his target. He then ran towards him as he did before.
"Tch" Kron flew at him and threw a punch when he was within striking distance.
But the brute vanished leaving a trail of lightning.
The boy was caught off guard by Hazel's sudden increase in speed.
Hazel was standing behind him with his arms raised, he slammed them on his back and made Kron it the ground.
The Saiyan looked up and sees Hazel raise a boot. He rolled out of the way as he stomped the ground. He then jumped and threw a punch at his stomach.
But Hazel blocked it with his elbow and backhanded the boy.
This sent the Saiyan rolling his back hit a boulder he opened his eyes to see a fireball headed his way. The boy jumped as the fire exploded and destroyed the boulder.
Kron aimed his hands forward but sees the brute running at him. His specialty is clearly wide and heavy blows. With those Dust crystals, his strength and speed are greater than before. He'll need to gain some distance.
The Saiyan then quickly jumped back as Hazel threw a fast hard punch on the ground.
The Dust user looked up to see Kron flying away. Is he escaping?
Kron stopped when he was at a point, he knew he couldn't reach. Now he can prepare a counterattack. He let his hands out creating two large energy balls. His Beringel Burst should be enough to-
Hazel pulled out some white crystals, wind Dust, and slammed the ground and it propelled him in the air.
The Saiyan was not expecting that.
Quickly Hazel reached into his pouches and pulled out two more dust crystals. He slammed them together to form a giant rock with spiked crystals.
"Oh, crap baskets! "
The brute slammed the massive spiked boulder on top of Kron sending him downward with the ball of rock on top of him.
A few seconds later Kron hit the ground with the rock on top of him, it smashed into pieces and turned the spiked boulder into rubble around him. He put his hands on the hard ground and pushed himself up. He looked around to see that he wasn't at his training grounds, there's an ocean and, surrounding the rocky plain he was sitting on. He was at a rocky shore.
He looked up to see Hazel coming down towards him.
And he found an opening since he can't dodge mid-air. Kron aimed his hand and fired an energy wave.
Hazel used the Heavy Light Dust in his body and crossed his arms to create a shield that looked like a green web.
The blast hit the shield and it didn't slow Hazel down at all.
"Tch!" Kron tried to move but before he could Hazel landed and threw a punch at his stomach.
The boy coughed as he was punched in the stomach.
Hazel had a blank face looking at the child's suffering. He hated what he was doing. He pulled back his arm and stood. He looked down at the boy giving an intimidating look.
And it worked to some degree, Kron was feeling fear of the gargantuan man.
He hoped this would work. "Surely you recognize that fighting isn't fun and games now. Surrender so we can stop." It almost sounded like he begged.
Kron roared as he jumped up to throw a punch only for Hazel to grab the back of the boy's head. The boy reached for his giant fingers, but the brute threw a punch into his gut.
Hazel sees he'll need to do more for the child to see reason. He then slammed him on the ground with his face against the rock.
The Saiyan yelled in pain, his nose might have been broken and his jaw was in even more pain since his mouth blast.
"The fear in you" Hazel slammed Kron's head into the ground again. "the pain I cause you" He slammed his head down again. "is why I detest fighting." Hazel slammed him again as if trying to drill in his skull that he needed to surrender. He let go of the boy and stood to his height and watched. Hoping that when he got up, he would agree to come with him.
The man hears his conscience telling him to stop, but he reminded himself why he was doing this. His goal is to help Salem create a world free of huntsmen, with no more children being sent to their deaths. A world where Gretchen would have been allowed to live. With this child, their goals would be reached so much faster. He looked down to see the boy raising himself up against his gargantuan hand, he slipped through and jumped away from him.
He broke away from his thoughts when he sees the boy getting up.
Kron breathed in and out looking at the brute. "Shut…. Up" He seethed. "What is it with you bastards, you have power but don't want to fight? How stupid is that?" He was starting not to like Hazel again.
Hazel glared at the boy but was willing to talk, perhaps he can talk him down. "Fighting should be a means to an end, boy. You fight without purpose other than your own enjoyment, which will get you needlessly killed. But if you come with me, you will find purpose, a reason to battle and I can ensure your safety."
That damn word again. Purpose.
Waves crashed at the shore as he glared at the man.
Kron just wiped his mouth of blood. "Hazel right?" The man nodded. "You know I was starting to like you, but all this garbage coming out of your mouth is feeling me with unyielding rage!" He took a fighting stance. " I was thinking of letting you live because I enjoy the way you fight, but all your nonsense cost you that chance! Now your dead!"
Hazel closed his eyes and sighed. So be it, he will do what needs to be done. He only hoped what Salem had in store for him would be quick to make him understand his defiance is futile. He calmly walked forward prepared to run if the boy thought he could flee.
Many thoughts ran through Kron's head, how would can he win this? Hazel's fighting style was simple, it relied on wide heavy swings mostly with his arms. Kron's style was more rapid throwing attacks and blocking, suited for trading blows. But that won't work on him because he sees no reacting from the pain at all. That's likely his semblance given how he stabs himself with Dust crystals like it's nothing.
He'll need to do something different if he wanted to win.
Kron charged at Hazel once again.
Salem's minion sees the desperate look in Kron's eyes as he's charging. Now he knows that he's won. He threw a punch aimed at the boy's head, lightning Dust increased his speed.
Kron sees the strike he fought his instinct to block it. 'Move like she did!' He thought of Sienna, how he lost to her in their first fight. And turned his head so that the punch would miss and kicked his arm to the side.
Hazel was caught off guard for a moment but then proceeded to punch with his other arm.
The Saiyan swayed the punch and grabbed his arm. He then turned, lifted the large man, and threw him over his shoulder.
Hazel hit the rocky shore on his back, he didn't feel it but he still felt not as confident as before. He tried to get up only for Kron to fly above the man's abdomen. Hazel swung his arm only for the Saiyan to float over it and elbow his stomach. The agile Saiyan then floated back and stood a few feet away from the brute.
Slowly the juggernaut got up and looked at Kron critically. He's fighting differently so suddenly, he's using agility dodging, hitting his limbs then striking. A moment ago he was attacking, blocking then retaliating. And he's doing it so effortlessly while even veteran huntsmen would have trouble changing their tactics mid-fight.
Kron grinned, it worked. Using Sienna's more agile fighting style is helping. He remembered when she grabbed his arm and tossed him away and kicked his limbs as he was striking. All he has to do is dodge until he gets his opening, then he can win, though with his pain-numbing semblance he might run out of energy before he can tire out his Aura.
Hazel then brought his hands out and fired a fire and lightning blast.
The Saiyan wanted to use his Beringel Burst to counter but knew it would take too much time. Instead, he dodged out of the way, as the lightning-fire projectile exploded next to him he sees Hazel running at him leaving a trail of lightning.
Salem's minion threw multiple punches without slowing down.
Kron dodged them all and countered with plenty of punches and kicks. But again no reaction and he was running out of energy. He'll need to put everything into one attack to bring him down.
Hazel threw a punch and Kron backflipped away.
The Saiyan thought of Guided Swarm, he'd definitely be able to do some damage but it's not powerful enough on it's own, plus he can shield himself with hard light Dust. Beringel Burst could definitely do the job but again the shield and it takes too much time. But if he could bring it up close.
He stopped his train in thought when Hazel was in front of him, he side-stepped a strike and backhanded only for Kron to duck.
Kron realized that if he wanted to fire his Beringel Burst up close, he'll have to charge it during the fight. Well, it might be his only option. As he jumped back from another mighty swing he put his arms at his sides. Large red energy balls formed in his hands.
Hazel came and threw a punch across his face.
The Saiyan fell back, still holding the Ki orbs in his hands. Focusing on this attack made it harder for him to dodge. He jumped back up and started condensing the orbs in his hand, shrinking them.
Seeing the red light at the child's hands made Hazel wary, this may be more dangerous than the previous attacks he endured. He ran at him.
Kron squeezed his fists around the tiny orbs, red electricity danced across his arms. He just needs to put more power into it and it'll be ready.
Hazel came behind him with lightning speed and grabbed the child's arms, avoiding his hands.
The child gave a panicked look. 'Idiot!' He thought to himself his arms were trapped in the man's massive hands. He was too busy focusing on it.
Salem's minion lifted the child up until the back of his head was eye level with him. "I'm sorry but you have proven that this needs to be done." He then squeezed his hands on the boy's arms as hard as he could.
"Ahhh!" He screamed loudly as cracking noises were heard.
The brute closed his eyes, hoping that this will teach him not to be so difficult when he was brought to Salem. Bloodthirsty or not this was still a child, younger than Gretchen was when she lost her life.
Kron was in immense pain his arms were being squeezed.
He thought of his options. He can release the Beringel Burst now and hope it hits him. Bad idea, his hands were out of the goliath's hands and pointed upward. His attack wouldn't hit him anywhere and he'd just waste energy then he'd be really helpless.
His legs couldn't kick him, he can't fire a mouth blast because he was smart enough to do this from behind. Is he going to lose?
No! No! He can't he won't! He's already been humiliated by two natives; he'll make sure that there is no third time! But what can he do against an opponent who feels no pain? He swayed his tail back and forth trying to figure out a way out of this. Then he thought of something.
Hazel hated that this was taking so long, whatever this power is also made the child more durable like Aura. So, breaking his arms would take too long for his liking, not that he wanted to in the first place. Perhaps he should try to offer him one last chance to surrender? He has to know there's nothing he can-
The brute then felt pressure on his neck, and air couldn't fill his lungs. He looked down to see the monkey Faunus's tail wrapped around his neck.
Kron chuckled as he felt the pressure on his arms ease up. Invulnerable or not, if you need to breathe you can't handle being strangled.
The brute began to choke, he tried to force his arms forward but the tail had a tight grip on him, the pain he didn't feel, but he still needed air. With no choice, the man let go of the boy and reached for the tail only for it to vanish. He then looked down and sees the child with his fists aimed at his stomach. His eyes widened.
Kron grinned as he opened his hands towards his stomach. "Beringel Burst!" The red energy wave hit the man's torso and pushed him away.
Hazel could feel his Aura draining from this immense power, he crashed into a tree and the blast exploded blowing up a couple of trees and rocks.
The Saiyan fell on his knees and laughed. "How's that?" Though he was laughing he hoped that it did the job.
He breathed hard watching the spot where he blasted him. He thought after Sienna no lone native can make him this ragged. That's fine, it only means he'll be getting stronger, plus he didn't exactly mind not being the strongest yet. More fun for him.
A few minutes have passed and Kron didn't see or hear anything from where he blasted Hazel. Having gotten some stamina back he reasoned that it was safe to look for a body, he walked over to the trees.
He felt conflicted, on the one hand, he wanted him to be able to continue fighting. On the other he wanted him to be unconscious as he didn't know how much more energy he can use. When he made it to where his attack landed. And to his surprise, there was nothing, just ashes.
'Did I distintigrate him?' Kron thought hopefully, he's never fully destroyed a human body but he shook his head. ' No, I didn't, he had some Aura left, he had to have survived and left.' He squeezed his fists in anguish. He was ok with letting Sienna live, but this bastard all his nonsense about hating fighting, and talking drivel. No, he will find him.
He heard a noise, it sounded familiar. The boy looked up to see a bullhead the same bullhead Hazel used to find him. "What, that coward!" The boy watched as the bullhead was flying away. Coming to capture him and then running away? Oh hell no.
In the bullhead, Hazel was piloting it. His shirt was destroyed and he had scars, scratches, and bruises all over. He had little Aura. He knew the folly of failing his mistress, however, he knew when to retreat if they continued their battle either he or the child would have died and though he would die for his goal, he knew that dying by the child's hand would accomplish nothing. He will see to it that he is brought to Salem alive.
He needed to find a place to heal and then track him once again. Just as he finished pondering his next move, the bullhead jostled. He turned to see the boy entering through the side.
Kron grabbed the side of the bullhead and stood himself up inside. "You bastard, you think I'm letting you get away after the annoying nonsense you put me through!"
Hazel knew it was dangerous to fight in the bullhead, he was low on Aura, if something could go wrong, they could both be in danger. He thought of tilting the bullhead to make him fall out but sees theirs over the ocean. No, he might be low on Aur- whatever he has. He realized that there's an island near here, he quickly thought of a plan. He set coordinates and pressed the AutoPilot. The brute of the man got up and walked over.
Kron realized that this was idiotic, he wasted a bit of energy getting here but he didn't care. He wanted to no, needed to kill him.
The brute looked down. "Boy, you let your anger guide you, that can be costly."
The boy grinned. "Don't worry I can pay with your blood."
Without warning, Kron jumped and punched him across the face.
Hazel grunted as he staggered back a bit.
Kron noticed this and grinned. 'He can feel that.'
The brute then returned a right hook, Kron jumped over it and threw a kick only for the man to raise an elbow.
As the two fought in close quarters the bullhead began to jostle. Hazel took noticed of this and looked briefly out the entrance of the bullhead. They made it to the coordinates he sent.
Kron took advantage of the distraction and kicked across the man's face.
Hazel stumbled he fell in between the front seats. He turned to the controls and tilted it turning the bullhead.
Caught off guard the boy fell out of the ship, he tried to focus fly but realized that he only had enough energy to slow down the fall, the Saiyan glared at the bullhead not wishing to let this man run away. He eventually hit the ground which was softer than he expected. He looked around where he fell, there were tropical trees and sand everywhere overlooking an ocean. He looked ahead to see a large landmass, probably Anima, he must be on an island away from the continent.
He looked back up at the bullhead, he sees Hazel standing at the entrance. "I'll come back to for you just wait here, I believe that this island is uninhabited. You'll be safe here boy." He turned away. Of course, what he didn't tell him is that he will bring some assistance, perhaps Watts can provide a useful tool in capturing him, or maybe find some mercenaries as Tyrian did.
Kron aimed his hand and screamed. "Get back here!" He tried to focus Ki but only a small weak ball was formed and slowly made its way only to pop out of existence. He looked at his hand and growled. 'Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!'
This man was set on killing him and he hated how he let him escape. All that bull about not liking battle, the bull about surrendering, the bull about purpose and him running away! Sienna was one thing, but this man needed to be sent to the next dimension.
Realizing that getting angry wasn't getting anything done, Kron breathed in and out. Once he had calmed himself, he considered his situation. He was hurt, badly, he needed to recover. The boy growled and looked around the area, he needed to find a place where nothing can find him. Grimm, huntsman, anything is capable of killing him now.
As soon as he's rested, he'll just wait here. If Hazel is coming back, then he'll be sure to be here to finish him. And if he doesn't, well he's earned a permanent spot on his shit list. He'll make him learn the meaning of pain. The boy lied down on the sand and closed his eyes. Hopefully when he wakes he'll be strong enough to fly at least.
On a tree near him was a black little bird, a raven specifically. Its red eyes seemed to be focused on Kron.
Well, guess we can call this fight a draw.
Originally I was going to have Hazel stab himself with five different dust crystals like he did against Salem but thought, why didn't he do this when he was trying to take the relic of knowledge? So I figured that it was a desperate max power move that Hazel will only use if he sees his current goal is within reach likely cause it's life-risking.
Btw, how did u guys feel about Hazel's last fight against Salem? Personally, I was disappointed, I loved how he fought and had high hopes for him but thought his last fight was kinda meh. I liked that he changed sides and he still looked really cool with all the dust crystals though.
But that's just my opinion, how bout you guys? If u want tell me how it was for you along with how u felt about the chapter.
Review Responces.
Guest: Fair question, I'll try to provide some insight. Kron doesn't just want to live a life of fighting like any Saiyan, he wants freedom, to choose his life instead of having it decided for him, he wants to make his own path, hence the name of my fic and it's how I'm trying to have him be relatable, we all want to choose a life that makes us happy, not just settle for something just because we feel it's our only option. Kron could've stayed on Planet Vegeta as a worker because it was his only option, but instead, he made an effort to take a risk and change his life into something fulfilling. Right now why u should care for Kron is he's actually questioning his original goal and we should want him to keep questioning it as we don't want him to become a mass murderer, we also don't want him to go back to his life at Planet Vegeta and explore other options. Of course, right now he's avoiding thinking about the downside of his mission and is using his grudge on Raven as a distraction. And whenever it's brought up like in this chapter he gets angry and more vicious, to show he doesn't know what to do. I hope all this helped you at least understand what I'm trying to do and if you still don't have a reason to care for my OC I hope u stick around because in a couple of chapters I think you will. I'm certain you'll at least be more invested. That being said if u have any advice on how my execution can be better I'd be happy to read it.
SSJKiryu: Thx! We'll be getting more after our final time skip. I will definitely use your idea but it may not be his next move, you'll see. Cinder and Kron is going to be an interesting meeting, he may like how merciless she is but that might be the only quality he finds likable, also like Raven she can be quite the opportunist and backstab anyone. As for Ruby, well she may have trouble with Kron after their first meeting might be when he's older, which means stronger, so sadly if Ruby is at the same strength as canon she'll likely not be able to interest Kron, so let's hope he's changed a bit by then. But anything's possible! I appreciate all ideas, and I'm glad you understand if I choose not to use them. Feel free to give me more, if I can't come up with something I like more then I may include it! Hope you're still enjoying it!
klinglerasd123ad: I understand, ya I see how my pacing can be better. I'm going to try to improve it from now on, thanks for pointing that out.
Teehee: RWBY house train with Kron? You mean RWBY train with Kron. Well, Kron has to have a reason to train them, right now given his personality he wouldn't bother training them. Especially the daughter of the woman who betrayed him. But hey, we're far from the meeting, so who knows. Anything can happen.
ThatSaiyaguy: Thx! Fun fact a couple of those flashbacks were parts of whole chapters of Kron's time in the Branwen Tribe before we had the time skip and he turned 9, at the time it felt like I was dragging the story so I scrapped them and just did the time skip, I felt it was a better choice for the story but now I feel like we didn't really get to see enough of Kron being raised by Raven so I took pieces of those scrapped chapters and put them in this chapter, to show what kind of relationship they had.
You're not wrong about the T-800 comparison. Lol dude we're all nerds here it's fanfiction. There's actually another reason Kron spared Sienna that will be further explained later, it wasn't exactly out of the kindness of his heart, but not killing her is definitely an improvement. But anyway your comparison isn't far off because the T-800 learned about being human and to an extent family, so did Kron, he somewhat learned what it's like to have a mother since Planet Vegeta Saiyans don't have a concept on family, while Raven (as messed up as it is) has an idea on a family. Kinda sad to think that Raven of all people is a better parent than most Saiyans on Planet Vegeta. But he has an attachment for Raven, yes he wants to kill her but that's due to her betraying him, but at the end of the day his techniques, his strength was thanks to her training and he knows that. Plus he learned how to read and he can enjoy learning Remnant's history. This is why he can't 100% hate her and unlike most Saiyans has an attachment.
True he's still thinking about ending Remnant but he's thinking about the pros and cons, that's a step up at least and what I imagine a Saiyan child raised on Planet Vegeta would think. Lol, poor Kron Jr, he was so young. I'm glad you're enjoying Kron's time on Remnant, hopefully, I can still make it interesting.
Dude, I am looking forward to when I write Kron meeting Yang, I have huge plans for that, it's one of the things I've been wanting to get to since I started this story. Lol. Glad you think that, I'll keep going. Eh u know they got their opinion I got mine.
I don't mind if they keep coming back. You kinda have to expect people to disagree with u every now and then when writing fanfiction, sometimes it helps a writer improve. It's best not to take it personally, they don't mean me or my story any harm their only trying to help me improve it in what they think is best and I'm actually grateful for it, they're just trying to help. Either they gave up or simply haven't noticed that I updated. If they did give up then oh well. Can't please everybody.
suppes1: Their first meeting will be something alright.
BallisticPanda45: Thx! Glad u enjoyed it!
Tarble eh? Well, I'll be honest right now I don't have a set and stone plan of what happens after Kron's adventures on Remnant. I have a couple of ideas but not 100% certain yet on which one I want to do yet, so far they all seem like they'd be fun to write. And I honestly haven't thought of using Tarble but I get what u mean. Alright I'll think about it, a mellow prince so weak he was banished and an aggressive Saiyan that was so weak he wasn't sent to conquer, that's a pretty good dynamic I haven't thought of, so I'll seriously think about it. Hope u stick around to find out my decision, we do have a couple of arcs before it's time to choose. One thing is for sure though I won't just do a copy and paste of the Sagas with Kron instead of Goku and RWBY instead of the rest of the Z fighters. And of course, the humans here will be more useful than they were in DBZ which is why they will have Aura and Ki while other races like Kron won't.
I'm glad you're enjoying Kron! Hopefully, I can keep it that way.
Alright, guess that's it. Just so u know I may have decided to do four more chapters after this instead of three. Because I want to make sure this Saga is wrapped up nicely. Either way, hope u guys enjoyed it.
Have an awesome day! :)
