I hope everyone new and old here enjoys this chapter.
Out of the Frying Pan Into the Fire
In an abandoned shack in Anima.
Hazel had finished reporting to Salem, thankfully she wasn't displeased or at least appeared so. Likely because she was too intrigued by the boy's abilities and understood that the difficulty of his task.
He looked down at his bandaged wounds. It will be a day or two before he's up to fighting shape again. Hopefully, the child will stay put on that island, during their fight he noticed there was some limit to his flying otherwise he would've done it throughout the whole fight. Whatever energy source he has it's limited just like Aura and he won't be able to just fly off that island.
If he does find a way off the island it will not matter, he will find him.
Salem's minion thought back to his actions, he attacked a young child, such horrible irony that he would do so. Gretchen would not approve of what he has done. But she would also be alive if he didn't have to.
He shook his head he did no more than necessary. And moreover the boy seemed to have enjoyed their skirmish. Such is the curse of youth; children are not aware of the danger looming over them in battle.
Seeing that joy on his face as he bled made Hazel sick to his stomach. Fighting should never be something to enjoy, it should be a means to an end and nothing more. That kind of eagerness gets children killed.
Now that Hazel knows how the boy is, he will know to show no mercy from the start, he will bring him to Salem no matter how much pain he must inflict. And perhaps teach him that fighting is not a game, for his sake.
Hazel closed his eyes and rested hoping that his recovery would be fast.
Little did he know there are others who had an interest in the boy.
On the island a day after the fight against Hazel. Kron was standing at the beach looking at the ocean.
The boy lifted his arms up, trying to make sure they're not as sore as yesterday. That fight with Hazel took a lot out of him, thankfully it wasn't anything rest wouldn't fix. Now that he was at 100%, he can resume training.
Kron breathed in and out. He threw multiple punches and kicks thinking about how the fight went yesterday.
Hazel was like a tank, he brushed off his attacks like they were nothing. They may have impacted him, but he didn't hesitate to counterattack. There was no doubt that he had a pain numbing semblance with shrugging off his attacks and stabbing himself with dust crystals.
It was such a fun fight, one Kron would look forward to having again.
At least until the brute started talking.
Kron stopped mid punch thinking about what the man had said.
"Is that truly your only purpose to fight nonstop, do you not have a goal, something to strive for?"
An angry look formed on Kron's face. That question was repeated multiple times in his head almost like the Saiyan himself was asking that. But he has a goal, and he will get to it. But first his only goal is Raven, that traitor needs to die for that surprise attack.
He threw another punch imagining Raven's face, a kick imagining it hitting her stomach. Multiple viscous strikes imagining hitting his 'teacher', he was going to enjoy making her pay for that day.
Yes, that is his goal, nothing else. And once he completes it, he'll be back on track for his original mission, to wipe out all life on this planet and then-
Before he could finish his thought, he stopped mid-punch. He would have to submit to people he would have to refer to as his superiors like his mother had. Be cannon fodder for the enemy not allowed to fight his way. Or learn about anything about the planet, he won't be allowed to read their history like he was here.
Kron growled and clenched his fists. Why? Why did he have to have such thoughts in his head? He had a goal to strive for and now he can't help but hesitate towards that goal? Why? Sienna? She was the one who asked the question the first time, and he's been thinking ever since. He then remembered what he referred to as practice for the planet trade organization, the Branwen Tribe.
His time in the Branwen Tribe was good, he enjoyed the battles he fought with them. But he remembered how he was never allowed to fight how he wanted, always punished for fighting on his own. Granted it was likely better than the treatment he would receive as a low-class soldier, still though it would've been nice if Raven hadn't kept nagging him to stick to whatever plan she had on every damned raid. The Branwen Tribe showed him the downside of being in the Saiyan army.
The child's eyes widened when he realized. It was her fault, Raven. She was the one who put this seed of doubt in his mind. She showed him the downside of his goal. It's her fault that he's been asking all these questions. Well no more! Once he finds her and destroys her, he will have no doubt in his mind that his goal is clearly the only option.
Kron squeezed his hands. Yes, Raven will pay. The boy then smelled a scent and looked up to see a bird on a tree. It was a raven to be specific, this would be some much-needed therapy.
Immediately he flew after it and reached for it.
The raven immediately flew up to avoid the boy's fingers.
"Come here!" The boy yelled and fired an energy blast.
But the bird avoided it and flew through the bushes.
Kron floated there, for a few seconds. "Did that bird just dodge?" He's hunted birds before, it looked as if this raven was smarter than most of it's species, kind of like the human Raven. He shook his head; he wasn't letting his meal get away especially a raven! "Get back here!" He chased through the island's forest searching for the bird.
With a sniff he followed the scent he treaded through the forest. But then at one point the trail the scent stopped at a certain point. "What?" The Saiyan sighed. "Just like the human, can't find the bird." Whatever. He'll just have to find and cook whatever animals are here and if not find fish.
Just then a scent filled his nostrils, an awful one. He turned to see three beowolves, they growled seeing the boy. "Oh please." He rolled his eyes and did quick work of these common creatures.
He had killed two of them and placed a boot on the last one's neck. "You know I don't really understand why this planet sees you as a threat, so far only huntsmen have given me trouble but you?" The beast tried to claw at Kron but his Ki was too strong. Kron then aimed his hand at the creature's mouth. "Even the weakest creatures on my planet would make quick work of you." He fired his Ki destroying the creature's head.
Kron breathed in and out. He smiled, that made him feel better. He went searching through the woods looking for whatever animal he could find on the island. He found what looked like a boar, not a boarbatusk but a regular boar. Funny, how this planet has two sets of wildlife. Though the Grimm are technically not alive since they don't eat only destroy.
The boy devoured the boar with great vigor. Fighting and eating seemed to be the only things that calmed him down. The anger and stress seemed to be melting away. The only other thing that can calm him down is reading, sadly he's yet to find a book to read. He should've grabbed at least one when that Tyrian guy tried to 'rescue' him. Oh well, he'll make do.
After he had finished his boar he looked up at the night sky. He decided now was not the time to repeat those damn thoughts in his head and think of his next move. Is staying on the island really the only option? The island is pretty far from Anima, he can't fly there all the way he'd have to swim halfway maybe less. And he may have the misfortune of bumping into a leviathan.
That sounded fun, but he knew couldn't face such a creature at his current state. Those things may be bigger than Oozaru from what he read, though he doubts as powerful as even the weakest Oozaru.
Staying here would mean waiting for Hazel. And while that would be fun it also runs the risk of him scheming. Especially this man since he hated fighting despite being good at it. So annoying. Guess he can hide in the forest to make sure he doesn't try anything like Tyrian with his goons.
He thought of the people that have tried to capture him. First, it was Raven who succeeded, then Sienna who succeeded but he escaped soon enough, then Tyrian who failed, and of course Hazel who failed but will come back. The Branwen Tribe really did shelter him from others who would abduct him.
Though fun it's not ideal. What would Hazel try?
"Hello there." Someone said with a graceful voice.
Kron jumped and turn to aim a Ki blast.
The figure jumped out of the way and rose his hands up. "Hold on there I am not your enemy I promise."
The Saiyan took a look at the man he had long red hair and wore a red cloak with yellow pads on the shoulders. "Who're you?"
The man looked offended. "You don't remember me? I supposed we weren't introduced."
Kron looked confused they met before? Strange he didn't recognize him. He looked up and down at the man, a long blade at his hip. He looked at him for a few seconds but he couldn't recognize him. He tilted his head trying hard to remember this human.
He looked irritated but he sighed. "Understandable, you were occupied with other things when we tried to rescue you."
"Rescue?" The Saiyan glared at the man and remembered back at the White Fang base that Tyrian guy had more than one man. "Wait I remember you; you were with that group that came to the White Fang's base with that scorpion Faunus."
A grin showed on his face as he bowed politely. "Ah finally, well let's do some introductions. My name is Creed, pleasure to meet you." He said with a polite smile. "And your name I believe was Kron correct?" He didn't get an answer just a glare. "Would that name be Valian?" He tried to make small talk.
Not amused the Saiyan looked around not really concerning himself with the mercenary. Though he looked reserved he was trying not to panic. "Where's Hazel?"
"Who?" Creed asked.
Annoyed he snarled. "Hazel! Big guy, stabs himself before a fight?" Kron described and remembered the man who hired him. "And Tyrian, is he here to?" Hazel alone he can fight but if he teamed up with the scorpion and this guy's team he would definitely be in trouble.
Creed was confused for a minute but realized. "Oh, I see you think we work for them well no, we were hired to capture you for Tyrian." He sees the child aiming his hand, he quickly continued. "But we've all but lost contact with him after our failure at the White Fang base."
Kron doubted him, it's probably another trick. But he is curious and wanted to know what else he had to say. Then afterward he would be taking his weapon as a trophy as well as his lackeys. "If you're really not with them, then how did you know where I was, Hazel was the only one who knew where I was and it's been a day since I've seen him."
That was surprising, it looks like everyone wants this boy for their own purposes. All the more reason to take him now. "We have our ways." No need to tell him, in case he gets away again.
Kron was unsatisfied with that answer, oh well he can just beat it out of him. "You had two others with you." He remembered killing that short fat guy. "Where are they?"
Creed smiled this young boy was perceptive. "They're around."
Likely hiding in the forest somewhere waiting to strike should he act.
Kron was confident he can take on Creed alone. But three of them might be trouble. He might have to resort to hiding in the forest and separate them like he did with that duo a month back. We'll maybe, he didn't get impressed much in their first encounter. "Why are you here? I already killed one of your members and your client gave up on you. Why not cut your losses?"
Oh, the arrogance from this brat was making Creed's blood boil. But he calmed himself, if all goes well, he will be properly disciplined.
"Well, you see, my organization has taken an interest in you for your unique powerful semblance." Creed began. "It would be useful for our cause, and you would be treated-" He was interrupted by a Ki blast hitting his chest and forced him on his back.
Kron rolled his eyes at the human. "I swear, you people practice this speech together." Raven, Sienna, Hazel how many organizations were after him, and how many used fancy speeches to try to sway him?
Creed sat up growling at him.
That amused Kron he crossed his arms. "Sorry about that, it's just I've heard this bit so many times that it's not even worth listening to anymore." He explained. "Now, hope you're ready to die." He sniffed trying to find the scent of anyone else.
The redhead sighed in great annoyance but smiled. "Forgive me, I like to try to solve things diplomatically before resorting to violence."
He pulled out his red jagged blade and ran towards the boy.
Kron chuckled and ran towards him.
Creed's eyes widened. 'He's faster than I remembered.'
The Saiyan punched across the man's face, it caused Creed to stumble back. With a laugh the child continued throwing punches to his gut, then he jumped to knee the huntsman's chin which sent him off the ground and landed on his back.
With some difficulty, Creed got up and sees Kron just standing there chuckling. He took a breath and breathed out, he put his hand up and placed the sword's blade on his hand, he stabbed it letting it leak blood.
Kron rose an eyebrow. "I'm starting to think stabbing yourself is custom before fighting around here."
"Joke while you can." He then swung his blade and a bloody slash appeared.
Quickly the boy side stopped and watched it cut a tree in two. 'D-did he just use his blood to slice?' He looked back at the man who smiled. "Ok, I'll admit this is a new one."
Creed smiled as he fired another bloody slash.
Creed's Semblance: Blood Shot- He can turn his blood into a solid projectile, it's especially effective with a sword and turns into a wide effective slash.
Kron swiftly swayed the slashes, it's interesting but not at all challenging. He was wondering if he should end this now or later. His thoughts were interrupted when a fire dust bullet hit his head. His head tilted back and there was a burn mark on his forehead, he looked down at the man not expecting a gun.
Now Creed held a rifle now that was probably his sword before.
The Saiyan didn't say anything and just dashed at him.
Creed tried to make another bloody slash but was immediately punched in the face.
Kron then bent down and swept kicked him to make him fall on the ground.
Before the huntsman could get up his legs were grabbed in the child's arms.
With a smile Kron swung around multiple times and then let go. He threw the Creed, the man crashed through a tree and rolled until he hit a boulder.
Kron walked casually towards him but stopped when he was a few feet away from him, he looked around to find the man's other teammates. He decided to just focus on him now. "Look, your good, maybe as good as Sienna, but that level isn't much compared to me now." He became stronger than Sienna after just one fight and has trained since then for a couple weeks. "So, get your partners so I can actually have some fun."
The man chuckled as he stood up. "I'll do you one better." He whistled.
Better what did that mean? Kron heard a noise and looked up. It was a large bullhead with a crate beneath it attached to a wire. And the crate was moving, and roars can be heard from it.
"Boss!" A woman with a long pink ponytail and a pink dress yelled from the bullhead. "Is it time?"
"Yes Razz, release it!"
Razz confirmed it and the wire let go of the crate dropping it on the ground creating a loud noise.
Kron looked at the crate and sees it roll as whatever was inside was desperate to get out. He turned his head back to Creed who grabbed a ladder from the bullhead.
"I'll be back once this creature does its job, don't worry we'll make sure your only half dead." The bullhead flew away with him hanging at the bottom.
Kron was tempted to blast him but didn't want to waste any energy since he was outnumbered. He'll play along with his game and then tend to them. He turned back around to face the container, it was still moving and breaking. No doubt it was a Grimm and if so he shouldn't have any trouble if it's just one. Still by the size of it will be bigger than most Grimm he's fought.
The container was forced opened and a giant arm came out of a hole. It was larger than any arm Kron has seen. The hole was made bigger, and a large shadowy beast jumped out of the container and landed in front of Kron.
The Saiyan covered his eyes as sand got to his face, he looked up with astonishment.
It was an Ursa but it wasn't normal. It was close to the size of two cars, it had large spikes on its back and more bone armor on its body, its skull mask was cracked and plenty of the bone armor was covered in cracks.
Before Kron could admire the monster more it threw a backhand. Out of his daze, the Saiyan jumped and kicked across the beast's face.
The monster only roared and threw a claw at Kron's face sending him rolling away.
Kron hit a boulder and it cracked from the force. His vision was swimming he shook his head to shake off the feeling and put a hand on his face. Blood, it's been a while since Grimm could make him bleed, at least a single one. He looked ahead to see the beast charging at him. Immediately he jumped as the creature slammed its massive claw on the boulder turning it into rubble.
The Saiyan landed a few feet away from him. It was bigger, faster, and stronger than any Grimm he's fought.
He thought back to when he learned of this from Raven.
"Remember Kron, Alpha Grimm are too strong for even experience huntsman, if you see a Grimm larger than its average breed then stay out of it and let me handle it."
No doubt it's an alpha. Looks like he'll get to see why this creature is to be feared. Kron smiled ready to take the beast on, he always wanted to fight one of them.
The ursa charged again after the boy.
Kron threw himself at the creature. The boy dodged a punch and retaliated with a punch to its face.
The creature rose a hand and blocked it with its larger arm
Kron's eyes widened. Did… did it just block his punch?
The monster slammed him on the ground then pounced on him with its massive jaw while holding the Saiyan down with its paw.
Kron grabbed the jaws with both hands pushing with all his might. The mouth started closing despite the boy's strength. He remembered something he did in his fight with Hazel. He opened his own mouth and fired Ki out his mouth into the ursa's mouth.
The creature's eyes widened feeling the sensation of pain in its body and stepped back with smoke leaving its mouth from the explosion.
Kron stood up holding his throat. Damn it! It still hurt to do mouth blasts; it was something he'll have to learn to get used to. He focused on the Grimm; it was surprising he never thought there would be Grimm capable of harming him. He looked at the beast.
It wasn't doing anything; it was looking at Kron while growling. The Saiyan took a stance and scanned the creature. It just kept staring and growling, it looked wary almost as if it was studying him.
'That's probably what it's doing.' It wants to see what he can do before continuing the attack. He looked at the cracks in its bone armor, no doubt it's learned from plenty of experience for centuries. "So, you Alpha's are smart to huh?" This fight he was enjoying just like with Hazel only this came with a bonus. It doesn't talk! How relieving. "I'm going to enjoy eviscerating you!"
During the fight Team, CCR_ were watching from above safe in their bullhead.
Cedar a large man with short brown hair, wore a green shirt, black pants, and brown shoes. "Man, this kid really can fight, this thing was tough to haul here. I really hope they weaken each other but man if the kid can kill him that'd be scary."
"Indeed" Creed responded. He hoped that the boy could weaken the monstrosity and win, he didn't want to face the Grimm himself.
Kron lifted his hands showing two Ki balls, they floated behind him, and it repeated the process until there were ten Ki orbs floating behind him.
The ursa just growled while it slowly walked to the side and watched the boy.
The Saiyan then spread his arms apart, five Ki orbs went to the right the other five went to the left. He then dashed at the ursa.
Kron kicked up the creature's chin and slammed his elbow on its throat. The creature swiped at the boy. He descended under its strike and tried to sweep kick. But the ursa slammed its claw on the ground to block the kick.
The ursa roared and backhanded the boy sending him rolling again.
He placed a hand on the ground and stood back up to see the creature was about to charge at him again, and it was in between the ten ki orbs. With a small, he brought his arms together.
"Guided Swarm!"
The five blasts on both sides were sent at the creature, a cloud of smoke appeared where the creature stood.
Kron eyed it cautiously, in most recorded battles he read on planet Vegeta a cloud of smoke usually meant nothing.
When the smoke cleared it did mean nothing, but Kron looked surprised. Not because it survived but because of what it was doing.
It was on the ground its arms on its sides and its face on the ground. It was using its bone armor as a shield to minimize the damage!
The creature started getting up and growled. Then it turned into a roar and glared at Kron.
The child didn't do anything he merely stared at the creature. He imagined fighting an alpha Grimm for a while, but he never thought it'd be this difficult to take on.
The Ursa then slammed its claws into the ground, then he quickly lifted them up tossing large rocks at the Saiyan.
Kron flew over the rocks and sees that it's still digging and tossing large amounts of rock at him. He couldn't dodge in time and so punched the boulder into rubble and once he did the creature was behind the boulder he punched!
The grimm had slammed its paws at the boy.
Kron caught the arms in his much smaller hands and growled from the pressure of the monster's paws.
It then tossed the child aside making him roll.
The Saiyan smashed against a tree making it fall behind him. One eye was swollen shut and there were claw marks on his right arm. He slowly got up watching the beast scanning him. It's slower but just as strong as he is and had a tough hide and bone armor.
It was almost like the fight against Hazel, Guided Swarm is useless, he'll need Beringel Burst. He put his arms aside ready to charge it.
The creature quickly ran at him.
Kron quickly jumped as the creature slammed his paws on the ground. He then floated and decided to get some distance. He hated doing that, but he needed some distance to power his attack, he flew higher and higher as the creature dug its claws into the ground and threw a large rock at him.
"Heh, stupid creature now I-" His back suddenly exploded. "Ah!" Kron yelled as he fell from the attack. "Where did-!" He stopped and looked up to see the bullhead.
Creed aimed his rifle at him, it turned into a sword, and he put it back in its sheath. He smiled. "Apologies but we prefer to keep you grounded, it's only fair right?"
Talking about fair when he wants to use a Grimm to weaken him to capture him with three people. "Bastards!" He aimed a hand, but side stepped the creature's lunge at him. He glared at the bullhead of idiots that crippled his flying. 'Later' He thought with bitterness, he focused on the Grimm.
The creature charged at him again and made a swipe with its claw.
Kron caught the beast's arm and shoulder threw it on the ground. Once it landed on the ground the Saiyan kicked its throat, then he aimed a hand at its opened mouth and forward an energy wave.
The ursa roared as it backhanded, the Saiyan jumped back.
Kron looked at the beast, he sees smoke coming out of its mouth and it was getting up like nothing happened. 'Ok, can't charge Beringel Burst, also can't fly right now.' He glared up at the bullhead. 'What now?'
The beast roared as it dug its claws into the ground and tossed boulders at him.
'Tch' Kron sidestepped the rock as it crashed through multiple trees behind him.
The ursa charged at him again and swung a claw.
Kron jumped over the creature's arm and punched the thing in its face only for it to retaliate by biting on his arm. His eyes widened. "Ahhh!" His arm was trapped in its jaws and being ripped by its teeth.
The ursa then slammed into the ground and placed a paw on Kron's chest to keep him down.
The Saiayn punched it's head over and over but it just kept gnawing at his flesh.
In the air Creed watched as the creature was playing with Kron like he was a chew toy.
"Eh boss" Cedar said. "Should we stop it now?"
"Not yet."
Razz looked at the duo while she was flying the bullhead. "Creed you know that our bosses want him alive right?"
"Yes, but he's a difficult brat better to make sure that his Aura is down before taking him." He glared down. "Also, he needs to pay for Den's death, don't you agree?"
The other to looked away remembering their comrade the D in Team CCRD(Creed). Somehow his semblance didn't work and so was taken out by this boy during his rescue. Though he is a child they believe he has this coming.
Kron kept punching and punching trying to get the beast to let go of his arm, but he couldn't it's hide was too strong. It was going to tear his arm off. He needed to do something now.
Guess now he should try making that new technique. He closed his eyes trying to ignore the pain in his arm. He had to think fast, he concentrated Ki into his free left arm and started punching with it. The creature budged but kept chewing his arm.
He screamed from the pain as its teeth met bone.
'Just focus more power into your arm!' He thought and put more energy into his arm it began to glow red. He roared and threw another punch, and this time the creature's mask broke and was forced to let go. As he did Kron kicked up its chin and backed away. The creature roared in pain from Kron's attack.
Kron breathed in and out, his new attack drained him more than he thought. He looked at his right arm, it had large teeth marks on it and was bleeding out very bad. He looked back at the creature and it growled. It had a hole in it's mask, his new technique can pierce it's body!
Quickly Kron began focusing Ki into his right arm, a surge of crimson energy surrounded it.
The ursa roared in anger and attacked. Not thinking due to the pain.
Kron ran forward his chewed right arm was dangling while his right was surging with blood red energy. The creature rose it's claws ready to pounce at the Saiyan and Kron thrusted his new unnamed attack into its bone armored chest.
Kron's red covered fist penetrated its armor and hide, he succeeded in landing a killing blow. However, he felt his arm being pulled apart from the energy he flooded it with. The Saiyan screamed from the pain, hoping his arm wasn't destroyed.
For the ursa, after being impaled by Kron's arm red energy filled the beast, it roared in agony and glowed with red energy, then it fell forward and forced Kron on the ground.
The Saiyan thought it would start biting his arm but then he sees it begin to fade, with excitement brimming his eyes he laughed. "I did it I killed an alpha!" Even a team of huntsman would have trouble killing this monster and he did it on his own. Yes, he's getting stronger.
But then Kron sat up and looked at the arm he used his new nameless attack. It was riddled with holes, some show bone, then he looked at his other arm that was bitten by the alpha, it actually hurt less than his other arm. Right now, he's lost the use of both arms in an awful situation. Kron looked up at the bullhead containing the three rogue huntsmen.
As the alpha faded, he sees the bullhead landing. Knowing what to expect he stood up with his arms numb at his sides.
Once the bullhead stopped three members of CCR_ stepped out. Creed the leader in red, Razz a woman wearing a pink jacket and Cedar the large man wearing a green shirt wielding a hatchet.
Creed clapped with a smile. "Cong angulations boy! I didn't think you can do it I thought we'd have to step in!" He looked at the disintegrating ursa. "To be so young and kill an alpha on your own, why that's unheard of! We struggled quite a bit to capture this thing for you!"
Kron growled looking at the trio. He was running on fumes; most of his energy was spent just to kill the ursa, on top of it his arms are useless.
"Oh, The Crown is going to love you." Creed explained. "Now come on with us, you are aware your'e outmatched and outnumbered, aren't you?" He eyed his arms for a few seconds. "Not to mention you need a doctor.
Kron looked at the situation, low on Ki, outnumbered, and useless limbs. Yup, he was definitely helpless right now. But he'll be damned if he was going to be captured again! He can't think of what to do, he'll need to come up with a plan, he'll need to keep him talking. "At least tell me what The Crown is."
Creed didn't talk for a moment but shrugged. Why not tell him? He couldn't escape anyway. "Well The Crown is an organization based in Vacuo, our goal is to restore its monarchy. " He explained. "To do this we look for individuals with powerful semblances like yours, to create a mighty army to start our revolution."
'Another organization that either wants him to join or dead.' The Saiyan thought. "Vacuo? That's far away, what are you doing in Anima?"
"To find new recruits of course." The man explained. "After all, if we recruit exclusively from Vacuo, we'd be caught easily."
Kron didn't say anything for a few moments, he couldn't come up with a strategy and he was bleeding out his arm. The only reason he's not grabbed is that he loves to hear himself talk.
"Now enough stalling, let's go." Creed stated.
The Saiyan looked at his options again, his best choice was obvious. But he hated the idea of being caged like a pet by these inferiors. With a yell, he ran towards them with his arms limping.
"Really?" Creed asked annoyed, he looked at Cedar.
Kron aimed a kick for Creed's head only to be grabbed by Cedar's large hand.
Cedar looked down at the helpless boy. "Come on kid, sometimes you just gotta with the flow, you might like it at the Crown."
With more anger, Kron kick's the brute in the face forcing him to let go.
The large man was actually knocked back a bit. "Wow, no arms and the kid's still fighting."
Kron charged at the brute and kicked at his chest only for his leg to get through him as he liquified. He growled as he forgot about his damned semblance.
"Kid you need to calm down, your bleeding out." Cedar pointed at all the blood on the ground.
He didn't care he was so angry at his helpless position and wanted to win no matter what. The boy ran towards them planning to kick them and bite them only for him to find himself unable to move his legs. He looked down to see quicksand. He remembered this, he turned his head to see the woman with the long pink ponytail.
Razz giggled. "Sorry but if let you fight anymore you might bleed out."
Kron aimed his mouth down and tried to fire Ki at the ground. But nothing came out, it was true he is out of energy.
"See the truth now?" Creed asked as he grabbed one of the boy's arms.
The child screamed in agony as his arm was twisted.
"Boss, aren't you going too far?" Cedar asked.
Creed turned to his subordinate. "Because of this brat we lost respect in The Crown, they almost threw us aside and we lost Den! He has this coming." He explained and turned back to Kron. "Now, boy are you sorry for what you've done?"
Kron didn't talk he only responded with a glare. But Creed was angry, this brat acted like he wasn't afraid.
"Stupid child!" Creed yelled as he smashed his knee into the boy's face.
The boy's nose was broken, blood was going out his nose.
"This is what defiance gets you, you little brat!" The red head growled.
Kron fell over in pain barely conscious, he started wondering what was going to happen. In truth he was afraid, he didn't know exactly how the Crown operated. The White Fang treated him well despite being their prisoner, what would The Crown do? And would he get lucky and be able to escape.
The Crown member scoffed. "Know when you're beaten." He advised and turned to his subordinates. "Alright grab the boy we're finally going home to Vacuo." Then when he walked away from Kron's ruined body.
As Cedar walked forward, to grab the body. He flinched looking at the boy. He knew his boss can be cruel when people don't cooperate, but this was a bit cruel. Then again their teammate was murdered by him.
When he was about to grab the boy he heard thunder, he was surprised and looked up. "Odd we could see the stars just a minute ago."
Creed glanced at his subordinate. "Who cares, Cedar just grab the boy and-"
Lightning struck down and hit Razz.
The woman screamed and her aura shattered from the strike. She fell down with her face in the ground.
"Razz!" Creed yelled and ran to her. He checked her pulse and didn't feel anything. "No" He looked up, what were the chances?
Cedar couldn't believe it either, lightning striking out of nowhere. He then sees something coming out of the woods, he rose his hatchet. "Boss!" He ran to him.
The leader turned to his comrade and sees a black blade aimed at his head. It was blocked by Cedar's hatchet.
Kron barely conscious tried to sit up, he lost a lot of blood, many bones were broken. They haven't grabbed him yet why? When he finally was able to see was shocked at the answer.
A woman dressed in black with red armor on her upper body as well as a Grimm-looking helmet, the Branwen Helm. He couldn't believe it, he thought he was seeing things, this was the last thing he expected to see. "R-Raven?!"
The bandit leader turned to see the boy still conscious she turned back to her prey.
Creed looked at her shocked as well. "What? You b-"
Raven immediately kicked across his face sending him away from his dead comrade.
His living subordinate ran at her from behind with his hatchet.
The bandit lady rose her blade to block the weapon and kicked across his chest. She then tried to slice at his neck, but the brute's body liquified and her blade missed.
Cedar chuckled and threw a punch only for her to sway it.
A semblance that can liquify the body? Well, there's an easy solution to that. The woman quickly put Omen back into its sheath and pulled it out showing a yellow-colored blade. She slashed again.
The large man began to chuckle as his body began to liquefy but then electricity started flowing through his liquified body. He screamed in pain as he was being zapped from the inside out, his semblance gave out and turned solid. The blade was now piercing through his heart. His aura shattered and blood left his mouth. She discovered his weakness after just seeing his semblance once. "D-damn"
Raven pulled out her blade and let the massive body fall back. She turned over to Kron who looked surprised at her. Good he sees what she's doing. She turned around to see where she kicked their leader and ran after him.
Creed grabbed his head and looked to see the dead body of Cedar. He sees Raven charging at him with her blade.
The former leader rose his own sword to block the blade. "W-what is this why are you h-" He was kicked in the stomach and was slashed across his chest, his Aura protected him but barely, he felt lightning coursing through his body. He looked at Raven who continued her onslaught.
"Get away!" He yelled as he got some space and his sword turned into a rifle. He fired many dust bullets but Raven either dodged or deflected the bullets with her blade. Creed then turned his rifle back into a sword and slashed at his palm to let blood flow. Then he put the blood on his blade and slashed.
The blood turned into a projected slash.
Raven would have sidestepped but knew Kron was behind her and he couldn't take anymore. She slashed upward to create a lightning slash it caught the blood slash and destroyed it.
Creed desperately slashed with blood multiple times, he knew he was outmatched and so panicked. He desperately wanted to get out of this alive. But Raven blocked every slash and walked towards him casually.
His red Aura shattered, and he was exhausted at the amount of blood he lost with his semblance. He fell to his knees exhausted, he looked up to see Raven standing over him wearing that mask. "I don't understand, we, we had a de-Gah!"
The bandit leader slashed at his throat and let the blood flow. She turned around as Creed's body fell over dead.
Kron saw her take them all down effortlessly. Even at full health, he knew he wouldn't have been able to win against them as easily as she did. She probably would've killed that Alpha Ursa with less trouble too. He shook as he sees her walking towards him wondering what she was doing here.
She stopped when she was just in front of him. She knelt down; she didn't say a word just looked at his injuries.
The Saiyan was both angry and terrified that the woman who tried to kill him was here. But she just saved him. He had so many questions but since he was losing consciousness he needed to ask. "W-why?"
"Quiet" Raven instructed as she pulled out some bandage wrappings.
Kron sees her wrapping the bandages around one of his arms. What was going on? She tried to kill him. Why was she helping him?
The woman looked at his face. "I'm sure you have questions, when you wake up I'll answer them." She explained and looked at his face. "For now, just rest."
What the hell? No, he needed answers now damn it, she needed to pay now! He started moving trying to attack her, but he could barely jostle.
Raven sees him jostling, she looks at him. "Kron if I was here to hurt you wouldn't I have done so?" Hopefully, he would calm him down.
"Shut… up!" Kron didn't care the old hag tried to kill him before and was now saving him for some plan he wanted no part of. Maybe she wanted him back but no, that won't happen, he would rather die than get back to working for her.
The bandit kind of expected this, she can understand given their history. But she needed to save him, if he keeps moving, he'll bleed out. "I said rest." She did a hand chop at his neck.
With that hit Kron slowly lost consciousness, he looked at her trying to glare. But his vision went black wondering what was going to happen to him now.
Raven got back to work on his injuries gently wrapping the bandages around everywhere he was bleeding. This reminded her of old times when she used to fix him up from his injuries of course nowhere near as severe as it is now.
After bandaging all his wounds, she realizes that Kron would need a hospital, luckily this island is near a place that will heal him no questions asked.
She turned to the bullhead that was owned by team CCRD, she knelt down and picked up the boy in her arms. She looked at Kron's face. Seeing him hurt wasn't comforting, hopefully, after this it will be the last time, she sees it.
"I hope you will listen to me when you wake up." Raven said as she walked to the bullhead. The easy part was over, hopefully, everything else will fall into place.
Looks like Kron got lucky.
I decided to have an alpha Grimm fight Kron because I realized that he's never fought a Grimm that was very challenging for him before he becomes too strong for them.
Btw, what name do you have for Kron's new attack? I was thinking Ursa Claw, anyone else got any ideas? Let me know in reviews.
Review Responses.
WingNut48: Sadly accurate. I hope he learns how to take no for an answer. The best? Wow, thank u lol. But I still think this story has a long way to go. In my opinion, The Boy With the Monkey Tail by Vinglot the Flying Ship, is the best crossover, a shame he never continued the story:( oh well life goes on. Took a bit of time making Kron's character glad he works for u. The funny thing is my biggest worry for the story was that no one would like the story without Team RWBY, glad I was wrong, though I'm sure there are plenty that is waiting for Team RWBY to meet him. It's been fun writing his adventures, but I can't wait for when it's time for him to meet the RWBY cast, we still have a bit to go before then. I appreciate the advice about power scaling reviews, but I prefer to listen to what everyone has to say, after all they may point out something I overlooked and if I disagree I'll explain my case and keep doing what I'm doing if not I'll change it accordingly. Even if I have to do it a ridiculous amount of times as I did with the guest above u. I do kinda agree with u though, Kron was already strong enough to fight huntsman at 9 and now he can fight top-tier characters like Hazel in just a month so imagine when he's older, for that I think his strength is reasonable so far. But anyway thanks for the kind words and advice. Hope you'll continue to enjoy it. :)
JManM: Thought about it, I'm going to rewrite the chapter a bit. Thx for pointing that out. I did that because his father represents how Kron most likely would've grew up to be if he had remained on Planet Vegeta which is his worst nightmare. So hearing it from his dream father is really him hearing it from his future self. But I think you have a solid point I'll change the chapter soon, hopefully tomorrow. Thx for the advice.
diamondteel4: Lol glad u enjoyed.
BalisiticPanda45: Thx! No prob, hope ur still enjoying it.
ThatSaiyaGuy: Thanks. Ya, I enjoyed writing that fight a lot very simple but satisfying, it was definitely the easiest for me to write. Especially since I'm still learning how to write fights with weapons. It's a shame too because Kron was really enjoying Hazel too, but the guy never liked fighting or hurting children so hearing him talk was definitley not his facorite. U weren't wrong but it ended differently than u probably expected.
Ok guys like I said please before go check out Alex-kellar look at his stuff and maybe consider commissioning him to make art for your stories or other stories you may like. I know I'm planning to commission him for more art for One's Own Path myself in the future after SSJ Golden commissioned A Surrogate Child for my story.
And once again thank you so much ssj golden I hope you enjoyed this chapter and more chapters to come.
And thank you Alex kellar for linking my story in your commission and doing the commission to if your reading this I hope u enjoyed the story.
Have an awesome day! :)
