Sorry guys couldn't keep up with the schedule, college started and my assignments were harder than predicted, hope you understand.
Hope this chapter was worth the wait.
A True Beast
Kron eyed his opponents, three on one. He looked at Ghira who wielded no weapon, but he had claws. So that's his Faunus trait. Probably specializes in wide and heavy strikes similar to Hazel, likely with swiping his claws too. Since he was High Leader of the White Fang he must be the strongest out of these three. He looked at Sienna, he remembered her very vividly. She was the first native other than Raven to have beaten him. Ironically thanks to that fight he learned to take his time training instead of going from one place to the next. Though he may not spare her a second time. She's the second strongest here no doubt even with that strength enhancement semblance. He looked over to the final one, Adam. He wasn't as tall as he expected but he can tell from his stance that he has seen real combat. If what Blake said was true then he was a prodigy for a Faunus, he hoped that he can live up to the hype.
He smiled it was time to test his new power.
Kron dashed towards them and in an instant, he was floating to match Ghira at eye level.
The trio looked surprised at him, they didn't expect this kind of speed.
The Saiyan threw a punch.
Only for the Panther Faunus to sway the punch but barely. He got over his surprise and swiped at him with his right claw.
Kron quickly leaned back as the claw barely missed his head and he kicked up Ghira's chin.
And he felt it, he took a step back from the hit, he felt rattled from it. That kick hurt a lot more than he expected.
Quickly the boy threw another punch aimed at the large man's throat.
But then a chain wrapped around his arm and was pulled to the side. He turned to see Sienna pulling her chain whip tied to his arm.
Before he could do anything, Ghira recovered and swiped his claw at the boy.
Kron was hit in the chest and it sent him back on the ground only for him to catch himself and backflip. He then aimed his hands forward-firing two energy waves aimed at Ghira's aids.
Adam and Sienna were quick to avoid the blasts.
Ghira looked at the boy, he wasn't as winded as he thought he'd be. He hit him full force, even with Aura he shouldn't have been able to quickly counterattack. He felt something from his lip, he wiped it and looked at his hand. This is going to be harder than he thought it would be.
Adam was surprised at the reaction the boy had. He grunted and charged after him with his sword out.
"Adam wait!" Ghira yelled for him.
But it was too late the hot head was within striking distance he swung his blade up.
Only for Kron to sidestep the blade.
Adam then swung his blade in different directions each aimed at weak points he could find, but the boy just kept swaying blow after blow.
And then his blade connected, but Adam had a panicked boy who had blocked the blade with his forearm! Even with Aura that shouldn't be possible without an endurance semblance. It should've at least penetrated the skin.
Kron was torn about this. On the one hand, he wanted to see the blade break, well it is only his second zenkai boost so he shouldn't expect THAT much of an increase. On the other hand, though it meant that he definitely has an appropriate challenge against these three. He looked at the masked boy's mouth, he can tell that he was shocked.
With a smile, he threw a chop at his neck.
Only for Kron to be kicked across the head, it made him stumble to the side, it didn't hurt much but it caught him by surprise.
Adam recovered from his stupor took his sheathe out and aimed it at his chest.
For a second the Saiyan was confused then he heard a clicking sound. 'Oh.'
A shotgun blast hit his chest and it made him take steps back again. His shirt was practically destroyed from it.
Then Ghira came from the side and swiped at his chest and that sent him skidding across the ground.
But as expected Kron caught himself and stood back up with a smile. He was ready for more.
This made his three opponents worried. The fight just started and already they felt like they couldn't win.
But Ghira remained calm. "Listen, do not hold back, attack all at once, Sienna avoid close combat until you are at your max, Adam, be defensive until it's time."
Adam and Sienna understood right away. Sienna's semblance lets her gather strength and stamina over time until she becomes as strong as her body can allow. For Adam, he was to try to block Kron's attacks with his sword until he received an adequate amount of force to reflect at him. As for Ghira, he would be the one to lead the attack.
Ghira looked at the boy, the face he had seemed so vicious like he wanted to tear them all apart. Perhaps Kron wasn't the monster he made him out to be, not after he explained how he was 'tricked' by Kali. But he couldn't let him loose no matter what, even if it meant his death. He took off his purple robe and got into his beast stance.
Kron chuckled as he took his stance.
The large man ran forward ready to fight the child with all his might.
Kron jumped and kicked him across his face, he then punched across the other side, and he was about to sledgehammer his head.
But a red blade got in the way and blocked it much to the Saiyan's frustration.
The Panther Faunus struck a blow into the Saiyan's stomach. It actually knocked a bit of air out of his lungs. Ghira then quickly struck across the boy's head and hit him across the chest and it sent him skidding across the ground, he put a hand on the ground to catch himself.
Right when he stopped Sienna saw an opening and swung her chain whip releasing a blade with a blue crystal in its center at his feet.
Before Kron could react it exploded and his feet were encased in ice on the ground. "Tch" Irritated Kron punched the iced ground releasing his feet.
As he did Ghira was in front of him and he kicked at the boy's chest forcing him on the ground with his boot on his chest. "Give up, Kron."
Kron looked up at him and chuckled. He thrust his hands forward to fire energy blasts. Ghira quickly got off the boy and swayed the attack by a hair.
The Saiyan then swept kicked Ghira, it took him by surprise and he landed on his back. Once he did Kron jumped up and flew down with an elbow out to slam it down in the High Leader's gut. Now Ghira felt the air escape his lungs from that attack. Kron then pushed himself off and slammed his feet on his chest making the large man cough some spittle. He then threw a punch only for Ghira to grab his arm in his giant arm. Kron then used his other arm to punch only for Ghira to catch it as well. He looked at the boy, he was so young, but the monstrous strength behind his attacks reminded him not to hold back. He slammed his giant knee into Kron's entire upper body. He then backhanded him sending him rolling across the field.
Kron crashed his back against a boulder. He looked ahead and pushed himself upward as Ghira slammed a clawed hand into the boulder, it broke in two from the amount of force. Once Kron landed Adam slashed his sword behind him, he rose one hand and grabbed the blade before it could reach his arm. Fool, he can smell him from behind. He then pulled the blade forward over his shoulder forcing Adam forward and slammed his elbow backward into his gut. The redhead coughed and his vision swam from the amount of force. And swung around to backhand him a few feet away, his red Aura appeared and looked cracked.
The Saiyan turned back to Ghira who was already in front of him, he swung a claw down at him. He narrowly dodged but was kicked across the face and made him reel back. Ghira then grabbed his head and threw him against a tree, the boy went through it and hit another tree behind it. He got up rubbing his head and looked ahead to see Ghira already running at him. He aimed his hand forward.
Sienna sees this and swings her chain up releasing another small blade in his direction this time with a fire dust crystal.
The blade struck Kron's shoulder and made a small fiery explosion. It didn't penetrate the skin but it burned! He looked up to see Ghira in front of him.
The panther man threw multiple punches across the boy's face and then he threw a kick, but Kron managed to raise an arm to block the foot that was almost as large as his arm. He pushed it away from him and jumped to throw another punch, only for Ghira to throw his own. The punches met each other and Ghira was slightly pushed back from the force. And his arm stung from the blow. Kron then grabbed the large man's hairy arm and turned around and pulled. Ghira looked surprised as his feet left the ground! Kron then shoulder threw the beast-man, making his back slam on the ground, it made him let loose spittle from the force.
Kron chuckled as he let go of the arm and slammed an elbow down aimed at his face.
But the large panther man rolled out of the way as Kron's elbow cracked the ground it hit. He looked up at the large man in surprise, he didn't think he'd still be able to move that well. He pushed himself off the ground and threw a punch only for the beast-man to catch it in his much larger hand. Before the boy could react Ghira took this opportunity to uppercut the boy's chin. The boy felt that it hurt, not too much but it was far from pleasant.
While still in mid-air the Panther Faunus grabbed his tail, Kron glared at that, yes he no longer had the weakness but still having his tail grabbed was far from pleasant. Ghira then pulled and slammed him much as Kron did moments ago. Ghira looked down at the boy hoping he would surrender. He may be ready to do what it takes to stop him from roaming free but he'd rather just take him back to his cage and avoid fatal wounds. Still, this boy might be physically stronger than him which is why he is fighting with help and putting all he can into his attacks.
Kron felt the wind out of his sails for a moment, he looked at the large man's hand grabbing his tail. He growled and jumped to elbow the man forcing him to let go of his tail. He looked at his tail for a bet as it wrapped around his waist like a belt. 'Thank the Legendary Super Saiyan I got that weakness taken care of.' Though he knew who he actually owed thanks to. He looked ahead not surprised to see Ghira already up and running at him for more.
Ghira threw a punch only for Kron to avoid it.
'He hasn't lost any speed or strength since this fight started, this his semblance?' He was punched in the face while contemplating.
The large man then threw another punch, only for Kron to block it with a cross black and it sent him back a bit. But he caught himself before he could hit the ground again, he looked to see Ghira running at him like a raging beast.
Ghira's semblance: Relentless: Ghira gets unlimited stamina as long as he has aura this allows him to fight for longer periods of time than normal, hours or even a whole day and he would still be capable of fighting at top shape.
Kron aimed his hand forward but jumped for a second as a blade was shot at him from Sienna, he grinned at her he was ready for that one. He looked at Ghira as he threw swipe at him only for the boy to fly further in the air. Kron inhaled and let out his hands, yellow energy came from them and it released ten energy balls and they floated into a circle behind him. He looked at all three of them, they didn't have anything great with long-range, so this should be able to hurt them a bit. He pushed his hands forward. "Guided Swarm!" His energy blasts scattered, after practicing this move he now has much better precision than before.
The majority of his blasts, hit Ghira making him scream.
One of his blasts hit Adam and made him too.
Then a couple hit Sienna which also caused her to yell.
This caused a large amount of smoke to appear.
Kron panted, he might've put too much energy into that, he descended and looked around him. 'This Zenkai really is better than the first, it's not that much of an improvement but my Guided Swarm shouldn't have done this much.' When the smoke cleared he sees Ghira on one knee panting. The boy smirked at the hulking man.
Ghira can feel that he was low on Aura, he needed to wait for it to recharge and be able to use his semblance if he wanted to fight another round with Kron.
The Saiyan chuckled, he too was also getting tired but he did his best not to show it. "Your not bad, Ghira, but still not as good as the last brute I fought." He thought of Hazel. "Still he had to stab himself with dust crystals to keep with me so I guess it's nothing to be asham-gah!" He was then kicked across the ahead and sent rolling. He stopped with his face in the ground, that hit hurt more than it should have. Blood left his nose and he wiped it off, he looked ahead and was astonished.
It was Sienna, and she looked very, very angry. It might be more vicious than the Alpha Ursa's.
Ghira looked at Sienna, it looked like her semblance had affected her mind. That could be bad. "Sienna listen, be careful don't-
But Sienna didn't listen and just ran at Kron with a blood-thirsty growl and she swung her chain whip at her side at a greater speed than Kron has seen from her.
Kron immediately rolled out of the way and sees her coming at him.
"Damn it!" Ghira yelled, Sienna, pushed herself too far. Well, he couldn't really do anything right now, he had to wait for his Aura to recharge before fighting again. Hopefully, Sienna can tire him out or even defeat him. He only hoped she would be able to stop herself from killing if it can be avoided.
Sienna threw a kick only for Kron to raise his arm to block it.
He was amazed by the amount of power behind that strike. She was definitely pushing her semblance to new levels since it was greater power and speed than it was in their last fight.
The tigress then swung her chain whip forcing Kron to duck.
He then threw a punch into her stomach but Sienna also kneed his face. The amount of force behind their attacks made the two stumble.
But Sienna was quick to recover and tossed her chain whip and it wrapped around Kron's leg.
The Saiyan felt pulled by his foot and dragged towards the Tiger Faunus, then to his surprise she slammed her hand on his throat and began squeezing. She rose a hand holding the blade at the end of her chain whip and struck for his eye. But he grabbed it in his hand and aimed his hand at her face and fired a Ki blast making her fall on her back. He then backflipped and took his stance again. "Alright Sienna, let's see how you do against me now."
But then he felt something at his back. "Forgetting someone?"
Kron turned to see Adam with tattered clothes aiming his shotgun sheathe at his back. "Ada-!"
Adam pulled the trigger releasing fire dust rounds at his back causing a fiery explosion that pushed him forward.
And Sienna was more than happy to take advantage of the opening. She kicked his shin, struck her palm up against his chin, and sent him upward before he could go far chain wrapped around the stomach and he was pulled down hitting a boulder.
Quickly Kron jumped and dashed not at Sienna but Adam, he slammed a kick only for Adam to block it with his sword, still, the impact pushed him back and he hit a boulder that cracked from the pressure. He sees an energy blast coming at him, carefully he brought his sword up and used it to block it as well, the impact pushed him further into the boulder and it hurt like hell. He eyed his blade which glowed red. The pain would be worth it.
Kron was about to blast that sucker-punching weakling again but he sees Sienna coming at him again with her arms raised and looked ready to scratch. He rose his arms to catch them by their wrists and was surprised to be pushed back by the angry Faunus.
"Why?!" She yelled ferociously.
The Saiyan was a bit dumbstruck from the amount of anger behind that, her voice sounded feral like Grimm.
Still enraged Sienna kicked across his face forcing him to let go and she punched his stomach and face. She then did a handstand and kicked up his face sending him flying. "Why?!" She swung her chain whip to release another blade. The blade hit Kron's chest and it exploded in the fire again but non surprisingly proved ineffective. "All this power and you waste it! Why don't you use it for the White Fang!?"
"Tch" Kron was not in the mood to answer this question again, he flew down and threw a punch across her face. He then threw another into her stomach and swept kicked her to the ground.
And she answered by sweep kicking to forcing him to the ground, she then jumped on him and threw a powerful punch at his face but Kron was quicker and uppercut her forcing her up and to land on the ground again. He stood up and rose a hand ready to try to finish her with a powerful Ki blast.
But she quickly got back up on all fours like a real beast and performed a handstand. One foot kicked on top of Kron's head the other one hit it again and made his face crash into the ground. She then quickly grabbed him from under his belly and slammed him on the ground. "You waste this power on some childish fantasy!" She then grabbed lifted it and slammed his face further into the ground. "Why not use it to help your own kind!" She lifted it again and tossed him upwards.
Sienna's semblance Grudge was being pushed to the absolute limit, not only was it increasing her strength and speed, but it was also affecting her mind, she was moving and fighting like a wild beast, never in her life had she felt so angry.
Kron coughed a bit of blood this time as he was mid-air, Sienna then jumped using her enhanced strength and slashed at him with her claws and blood with speed and ferocity multiple times from different directions. She then jumped up above the boy and slammed her feet on his back making him fall back to the ground.
Sienna landed in front of the boy and stood up. She glared down at him and wanted to attack again. But then something happened, her muscles started to rip, she bent down on one knee, quickly she stopped her semblance all the power went away but at least the pain stopped. She pushed her semblance to levels she didn't think were possible but it clouded her reasoning and made her fight like a wild beast. She was going to make sure she doesn't do that again any time soon. She looked down at Kron. At least she managed to beat him.
He moved and looked up with blood coming down his lip. "That all?"
Sienna's eyes widened, he's still conscious after her gamble, she stood up but flinched. Her semblance had torn her body apart.
Kron got up with some difficulty, he had blood leaking from his mouth and arms but he wasn't too injured. "Too bad, I was hoping you'd be able to fight like that a little longer." She tried to move but was unable. "Now to answer your question, hear me this time." He punched her across the face which made her fall to the ground. He then grabbed her leg and pulled her whole body over him and slammed her on the ground face first. "Both Faunus and humans are beneath me!" He yelled as he rose his other arm to prep a Ki blast.
Before he could finish her he felt his arm grabbed by a familiar feeling. Kron turned to see Ghira had gotten up and was willing to fight again. "Oh, you're here. Good."
Ghira didn't say anything but backhanded him away a few feet. He looked down at Sienna who looked the worse for wear. "Adam takes Sienna back, she's in no shape for the fight."
Adam hated the idea of retreating but knew in this fight he wasn't much use and Sienna was in terrible shape. He nodded and was ready to take her back.
"N-no," Sienna said getting up.
Ghira was going to argue. "Sienna you need to"
"No, forgive me High Leader but" She looked ahead where he sent Kron. "I can still fight and he's proven far too dangerous to fight alone."
Ghira wanted to argue more but he turned to see Kron still smiling, clearly enjoying himself and he was walking without a care in the world. Even after Sienna's semblance he still wants more. "I understand but avoid using your semblance, you can't take much more."
"I know" She smiled and looked to Adam. "But we still have our trump card."
Adam nodded and smiled, glad that he wasn't out of this fight.
Ghira looked at the boy still walking towards them, he was smiling but he was also panting. A good sign, they tired him out. "All right all together this time, ready?"
His back up nodded.
Ghira yelled as he ran towards him using his semblance to attack.
Kron chuckled and ran towards them. "That's right White Fang all at once!"
First, the boy went after Sienna and punched her across her face. Ghira threw a punch from behind but he saw it coming and jumped over him as it hit nothing but air. He then appeared in front of Adam and threw a kick only to be blocked by Adam's sword but again he was sent rolling from the impact.
Ghira turned around to backhand Kron only for him to raise his arm to block it.
Kron grinned, he was still fast and strong as usual. He then ducked another strike and punched against his face multiple times. Ghira roared from the pain and tried to retaliate with a punch but Kron was able to avoid it and kicked across his face. Ghira's semblance may allow him nearly infinite stamina but his body was still damaged from the earlier skirmish. He then spun a kick across his face launching him a good distance away.
He then felt a chain wrap around his arm, he turned to see Sienna clearly in pain trying to pull him, which she did but only made him tumble forward. Kron stood his ground pulled with the chain wrapped around his hand.
Now Sienna was pulled to him, and Kron smashed his fist into her gut, he pulled it back and let her fall on the ground. He smelled a certain scent and turned around to see Adam aimed his shotgun sheathe at his head. He quickly jumped over him as he pulled the trigger and kicked the back of his head making him fall on the ground. He turned around and grinned down at the boy.
Adam stood up slowly in pain from Kron's abuse and readied his sword.
He threw a couple of punches at Adam's face and abdomen most of them landed, some of them hit his sword. What he found strange was that blade wasn't breaking, perhaps he was protecting it with his Aura not that it mattered. The Saiyan landed a punch into his stomach making him keel over. He pulled back his hand kicked him across the face sending him skidding across the ground. "Come on Adam! You're not living up to all of Blake's talk!" He yelled sounding disappointed.
The Bull's black shades fell to the ground and broke. He looked at him revealing what he was hiding.
Kron sees that he's missing an eye, and it had some interesting letters. "S-D-C," He said aloud. "Oh, so you were the Schnee family's slave that the White Fang keep whining about." He only knew them from the books Sienna had given him during his time trapped in her base.
Adam clenched his teeth in rage. "Shut up!"
"Make me, steak."
Adam glared at that insult as he fought through the pain. He just needed a bit more damage before he's ready.
Kron aimed his hands forward and fired a few energy blasts.
Adam smiled as he rose his blade to block most of the shots since Kron wasn't taking him seriously.
Kron stopped firing for a second, that sword should be broken by now. It looked like it could take plenty of his Ki blasts. 'Let's add a bit more.' He created a larger ball of energy this time and fired it into an energy wave. Not as powerful as his Berringel Burst but definitely more than what Adam can take.
Adam's eyes widened as he tried to block the blast but it exploded and sent him flying with a flickering aura and he landed with his shades broken much to his shame. He looked at his hand to see his sword was intact, good it was all that mattered. Now he just needed to wait and hope for an opening.
Kron looked at Adam far away on the ground, should he go after him or wait for Ghira? He didn't have to wait long, he rose his arms to block a punch from Ghira and a kick from Sienna at his sides. His arms cracked from the weight of their strikes but they weren't as damaged as they were after the fight with the Ursa. "Was wondering where you two went, thought I sent you into a coma." He chuckled.
Ghira and Sienna were actually frightened, this boy is still able to take on both of them and Adam who is as strong as a huntsman on his own. And it was evident that he was also tired.
"Alright let's end this shall we?" Kron laughed as he pushed both of them away and kicked across Sienna's head and sent her a few feet away. And her aura shattered, finally she was out of Aura. Before it could recharge Kron aimed his hand at Sienna with a prepped red Ki blast. "Die"
Ghira ran in an attempt to stop him.
Sienna still conscious tried to move out of the way.
Kron fired his red Ki blast.
Ghira didn't make it in time and looked horrified.
Sienna had moved and Kron's blast had missed her heart where Kron was aiming. But she wasn't able to move away unscathed.
The Saiyan looked at his target, he missed the kill but this wasn't completely unpleasant.
Blood dripped on the ground.
Sienna with widened eyes looked at her left leg. Her knee and foot were missing, blood was leaving her mutilated limb. She fell and grabbed her ruined leg and screamed.
Kron looked down at her screaming from the agony of the blood dripping, Aura wouldn't be able to heal that.
"You! What have you done?!" Ghira yelled from behind, the boy didn't even look phased at what he had done.
He turned his head to see Ghira who looked really infuriated. "Shocked? It's not the first time I destroyed a limb."
Ghira enraged had forgotten what Kali had said and slammed a fist on top of Kron's head. But Kron caught it with both arms, he was panting from all the exhaustion he needed to end this now. He quickly pushed aside his arm and flew a knee straight into the large man's abdomen making him keel over from the pain. He then pulled back and flew up with his knee out hitting the Belladonna patriarch up his chin. And Kron finished it with a kick down his face making the giant fall on his back and his Aura shattered in purple.
Kron floated panting, all the fighting today definitely tested his new abilities. He was very pleased, he's reached a level of strength. That Alpha Ursa would be child's play now.
The Panther was still angry at the merciless boy, he knew that this would be it, he wasn't just concerned with his own life but his comrades as well, Sienna and the younger Adam. "K-Kron, please"
The Saiyan looked down at the Panther Faunus.
"P-please, stop, your not doing yourself any good." Ghira pleaded to Kron, hoping that he did have some amount of good in him as Kali had said.
Kron looked at the man and scoffed. The husband of the woman who got him imprisoned. How fitting would it be if he killed Ghira? He wasted a lot of energy but he can definitely pull it off. He aimed his hand at him, he was ready to do it. He could do it. Easily. At least that's what he told himself. But nothing happened for the longest time, he just wouldn't do it for some reason. "Tch, what I do is my buisness Ghira. I'll let you live tell the rest of the White Fang what I did to their leader."
"Kron wait, please! It's not too late-"
"Shut up" Kron interrupted not interested in this. He looked down at the one-legged Sienna on the ground and smirked. He landed in front of her and grabbed her by her collar and she awoke to see him holding her by her neck, still grunting from the pain of her missing leg. "Good your awake I want you to see what's coming."
Sienna's eyes widened, her life was in his hands again.
"Sorry Sienna, but I've already spared you once." He tossed her.
Sienna screamed as she landed on her back, she opened her eyes and looked ahead to see Kron getting into a stance
Kron held up his hands and formed two red Ki orbs, they then condensed seeming small and he clenched his fists. Red lightning-like energy surrounded his arms as he brought them down and aimed his fists at him.
The Tiger Faunus wanted to move but her missing leg and blood loss made her on the verge of passing out.
The Saiyan knew that this was overkill, he could simply kill her with no effort but he wanted to see how powerful his Beringel Burst would be now. Before it could destroy a house, how strong would it be now? How much of the forest behind Sienna would it destroy?
Sienna's eyes widened terrified of her imminent death.
"Stop!" Ghira yelled.
Kron ignored him and was ready to fire. "Ber-!"
"Hey!"
The Saiyan stopped and turned his head to see Adam, the older boy who had just been a gnat in this fight, he let go of Sienna and let her fall on the ground. "Fine, I'll blast you away instead."
Adam looked at the boy's arms had red lightning surrounding them, he likely had charged his semblance into a powerful wave of energy, but then he looked down at Sienna, his mentor. Her left leg was gone and she looked like she was in so much pain, his anger grew to a level he never felt before. He wanted to charge at him but knew he wasn't a match for the evil little brat. No choice, it was now or never, he grabbed his sword, Wilt and Blush, and it began to glow within his sheathe.
Kron looked at the unimpressive Bull Faunus and sees the red cracking energy. "What?" This is his semblance?
"Rah!" Adam yelled as he slashed his glowing red sword upward and it projected a red slash of energy.
Kron's eyes widened as the energy slash came at him, he roared and aimed his fists at the coming slash, he yelled his attack's name. "Berringel Burst!" He fired his signature energy wave and it clashed against the energy slash that was sent his way and it managed to stop it from going any further, but it did manage to push him, his feet dragged the ground as he protected himself from the incoming attack.
Adam's eyes widened. There's no way, it's not possible.
The Saiyan gritted his teeth as the slash pushed his Berringel Burst further, he had to put more and more energy into his attack until the slash was pushed away.
The Bull Faunus got out of the way as the slash flew to the forest and slashed plenty of trees. He couldn't believe it, he had pushed away all the stockpiled power away from that Kron had thrown at him, and he managed to push it away.
"Adam"
The redhead turned to see the shorter boy standing in front of him looking exhausted then he felt his horns being grabbed.
Kron had grabbed his horns. "Not bad, for a steak." He yanked his horns and slammed his head against Adam's.
Adam felt overwhelming pain, his Aura shattered in red and he fell on his back.
Kron looked down at the boy, whatever his semblance was managed to push him. It'd be good to leave him alive see if he can make it stronger later to give him something to look forward to. He looked over at Ghira who looked like he was trying to get up but he was exhausted, and then over at Sienna who was still holding what was left of her leg.
No deaths but a permanent injury. He can call that a win.
"You three remember this." Kron began. "Find me again, and I'll kill you."
Ghira watched the boy left, he looked over to Sienna who was grabbing her lost leg, while Adam tended to him.
Slowly the large Panther man got up and walked over to the duo. He knelt to the student and teacher duo. "Sienna, I'm sorry."
Sienna looked up at the High Leader while clutching her amputation. "D-don't be. Y- you were right, he, he's a monster."
Ghira didn't say anything, he only thought of his wife. She had begged him to let her see him, to prove that Kron did have decency in him. But after this, she will be crushed. "Rest, Sienna, help is on the way." He pulled out his scroll and contacted help.
Kron had gotten far away from his pursuers, he was deep in the forest.
The boy had fallen on his back and panted. The fight against the three of them was more exhausting than he thought. Ghira was stronger than most huntsman, Sienna was also above average and she had pushed her semblance beyond their last fight, and then there was Adam, he was about as strong as a regular huntsman while it was impressive for someone of the Bull Fanus's age and species still wasn't a factor throughout most of the fight, but his semblance whatever it was was something to behold as it forced him to use his new strength at it's maximum.
He had mixed feelings. On the one hand, he likely can have more fun on this planet as fighting three of them at once wasn't effortless, but on the other, he wished he had gotten a bigger zenkai given the amount of time he had to wait to heal.
Kron sat up and looked down. 'Now what?' He escaped the prison, is too exhausted to do any fighting and he now had no refuge on this island. Not to mention Sienna's injury didn't help. Clearly, he needed to leave this island, now. Should he go wait by the boats and smuggle onboard? He should be able to do it quick enough.
In the middle of his thinking, he heard a slashing noise. He looked ahead at the source of the noise.
A familiar red and black portal opened in front of him.
"Raven?" Kron asked as he stood up refusing to look weak in front of her.
She didn't walk out of the portal, her hand came out of it with a red bracer and motioned him to come to it.
The Saiyan thought for a second. He was just thinking it was time to leave Menagerie, but did he really want to meet up with Raven now? He thought of his options and realized that he didn't have any, he hesitantly walked, just a step before the portal he turned around and looked over Menagerie. He saw images of Kali and Blake, his antics with Blake, he didn't think they were too bad even if she was annoying. Then there was Kali, the way she constantly treated him wasn't bad either.
But he steeled himself, she tricked him. It was all an act, plain and simple. The Saiyan scowled and walked through the portal leaving Managarie behind.
Raven stepped back and waited in front of the portal she just opened, she had her hand on her weapon in case Kron happened to not have been alone. She was relieved when she saw the boy walked through the portal.
"Welcome Kron"
The Saiyan looked at the woman who had saved her, he looked around at the familiar forest. "Are we in Anima?"
"That's right."
He turned to her not saying anything for a moment. The sight of her still made him angry, but still, at least she didn't use deception as Kali did.
"Now that you're here." Raven began. "I wanted to apologize, I have no idea how Ghira found out. I and some of our tribe have been raiding supplies of the White Fang to keep him occupied."
Kron squeezed his fists. "I do"
She rose an eyebrow at this. "How's that?"
"Kali, Ghira's wife tricked me, she told him where I was."
Raven put a hand to her chin. "Is that so? I knew you staying in Ghira's home would be risky, but I thought with him looking for you in Anima, being distracted by the tribe, and that you were not on any wanted posters would make it a safe place." She explained.
Kron thought it was stupid to stay at that house at first. But he felt the same, maybe Sienna had a picture of him, he was imprisoned for a couple of days in her base. Either way, he had escaped and had beaten her husband, and crippled Sienna. So he'll call that a win.
"She's quite a good actress, while I watched over you and her I thought she genuinely didn't recognize you, the White Fang has been building up a nasty reputation lately."
The Saiyan didn't say anything but agreed.
Raven looked down at the boy for a few seconds, she can tell from his face that he was angry and hurt. He really did seem to believe that Kali had stabbed him in the back. She walked over to him and knelt to his level, she placed his hand on his head as she did during their time together. She formed a small smile at her former student.
"Kron, don't sulk at being deceived, take it as a lesson." She explained she herself had been tricked and learned from it.
He looked into Raven's eyes and nodded. He shouldn't feel anything, he should be surprised he didn't see it coming.
Raven had a tiny smile, he was listening to her as he did back then, maybe even better now. "Now you should rest."
"What?"
"Come on, I can see you're exhausted, I'll keep watch for a bit and kill any Grimm you might attract." She may have taught him to control any negativity, but given the situation, he might have trouble with that and was unable to fight back.
Kron wasn't sure if he should, but given how much Raven has done for him she likely wouldn't kill him in his sleep or leave him to die by Grimm. And he really needed to sleep. The boy closed his eyes and quickly drifted to sleep.
As he did Raven ruffled his hair, he had been through a lot away from the tribe. Now hopefully they can go back to the old days, them fighting side by side only this time she would make sure that he would be willing to fight with the rest of the tribe. She hoped with all her heart that after all this he'll agree to come back.
Well I think that went as well as we all expected.
Now originally I was going to have Kron just beat them and escape, no one dies or is crippled.
But a certain reviewer made me think that it would be too easy and too much plot magic, know what I mean? I thought maybe we needed to see a glimpse Kron being a vicous monster that he started as, and I didn't want to affect the original timeline too much. So Sienna has lost a leg and now Kron has made it less likely for him to be able to redeem himself in certain people's eyes, maybe permanently for pretty good reason.
This pretty much makes him on the White Fang's shit list.
But hey, I think we all know it could've been worse.
And now he's back with Raven, nothing can go wrong there.
Right?
Lol, anyway let me know if you guys would've rather have Kron just beat the three of them and leave or have him even kill one of them. I hope you guys enjoyed either way.
RedLanternReader: Well thanks to you, I believe that doing something permanent would be better for the story. So appreciate the suggestion, I hope your satisfied. I can see why you'd want Sienna dead the most, hope this satisfies you. :)
Kaji: Thank you, well he's going to be learning the limits of his new power very soon.
I've been wanting to continue human absolution I just got busy with work and stuff, I'll be sure to finally give your second a chapter a read and give it a review. I'll try to make time soon!
epantoja521: Good to hear, ya I know which is why if I do it will be during hiatus of this fic. And hiatus will happen at the end of every arc and we're close to hitting our first one. You were right he did handle all three. Well if you want my estimate for Ghira, he's above average huntsman and below Qrow. And you called it! Adam was pateintly gathering energy for his Moonslice and it did a number on our Saiyan.
Well he was pretty close, and he has crippled Sienna, hopefully that won't permanently destroy the relationship but she means a lot to Adam and Ghira hopefully it's still possible for him to redeem himself in their eyes . I did think about having him kill off Sienna or maybe Adam but I want the RWBY timeline to continue mostly normal until Kron's fully grown. Lucklily nothing happened to Ghira, or there would definitely be nothing to save.
ThatSaiyaGuy: Thank you! Hope the fight was good. Alright, I'll definitely consider it the more think the more I wanna write it. Writers block gets us all man lol.
Runeion: Interesting theory, but it was already hinted Adam has his SDC scar. I did think about having Kron be the cause of it but decided to let Adam keep his scar as it does give us a hint as to why he hates humans. Even though RoosterTeeth hasn't didn't give us one. But Sienna is now missing a leg, so he's likely going to be permanently on the White Fang's shitlist.
jnatuking: Lol that's embarrassing, thank u their fixed. Hope nothing that bad's in this one.
davidvillafranca99: Thank u. Well Kron's conflict with genocide isn't that it's wrong it's that he'd live a life of servitude, he also wasn't raised to be a warrior and is a child so he's more emotional. Seems plenty Saiyan to me. Thank u for not asking me to change him but don't be afraid to suggest changes as long as u explain why u think they're needed if I agree with them I'll do it. Thank u for the honest criticism.
Alright guys, so as I said now that I'm back in college my chapters will be slower, I will do my best to add at least once a month, but if I have to choose between school assignments and writing a chapter I'll have to choose the assignment, I hope you guys understand. College blows!
But anyway, as usual in the review, give me any criticism, questions, concerns or ideas. Always appreciate it.
And if I disagree and you think it's not good for the story remember I am open to a debate. If you don't have an account, then get one and PM me, if not well I won't have long debates anywhere else, we'll have to agree to disagree, I'm sure you understand. :)
And remember if you didn't like the chapter, let me know, I'm willing to change it if I agree and appreciate any help in making this a better story.
Ok, that's it for today.
Have an awesome day! :)
