Far From The Tree
Three weeks ago...
Yang walked out of the club she destroyed, her dad's probably gonna get mad about property damage. But she made sure to look into this place before she even walked in. Everyone who goes here is either a thug, drug dealer or worse. So she wouldn't be risking any trouble with the law.
This time.
"Yang? Is that you?" A younger girl asked.
Yang looked and smiled. "Oh hey, sis!"
Ruby put her hands on her hips. "What're you doing here?"
Yang sighed and put a hand on her hip. "It's a long story"
"Wanna head home? I just got new Dust for Crescent Rose wanna test it?"
The upbeat blonde smiled happily as she walked to her younger sibling.
"I just got warmed up, so yeah, I can definitely go a round with you sis!"
She playfully ruffled her hair much to her annoyance.
Ruby giggled as the two walked.
"By the way, you didn't cause too much trouble in there right?"
Yang had a toothy grin.
"Nah, the owner got really apologetic after we had a talk about how he messed up my order."
Ruby chuckled, her sister always got rough whenever she didn't have her way, she hope that she didn't have to do time.
Again.
Yang pulled out her scroll and had the screen appear.
After beating up his guards, and his twins, and tanking his rocket launcher. Yang had 'convinced' him to give her something useful.
She sees a screenshot of Junior's security footage.
It was of the crime boss talking to a boy around her age.
Spikey black hair, a black jacket, and a white T-shirt.
Apparently, this guy was asking for a girl with her description. And he asked if she was looking for someone with long black hair and red eyes.
That matches her mother to a T.
It wasn't much but at least she walked away with something she can use.
Now she can ask around for him.
Days Ago...
Yang had officially become a Beacon Academy student and had spent her first couple of days going around in Vale.
She went and asked every shopkeeper in town in hopes of finding him.
Eventually, she found her way into a bookstore.
"Yeah, I've seen him," Tuskon admitted and he looked at Yang a bit but not in a way most would. "Actually he was looking for a blonde girl if I remember right."
The blonde smiled. "That so? Any idea where I can find him?"
Tuskon shrugged. "Sorry, but he hasn't shown up except that one time, he might be going to the other bookstore, Dusty Pages?"
He didn't sound too upset that he lost a customer.
"Dusty Pages, gotcha thanks!" She chirped as she walked out.
Yang glanced at her scroll to look at the guy who was stalking her.
"K, so he knows Raven, he's following me, and he's nerdy." She said knowing that he was going to bookstores. "Ugh, really hope he's not just a creepy stalker."
Well if he was she'll just deal with him the same way she dealt with the others.
A text came on her scroll.
'Yang! Tomorrow is Professor Goodwitch's homework's due, hurry!'
"Aw crap" She sighed, guess her search ends today, better head back to Beacon.
Today, a few hours ago
Yang had put her boots on ready to continue her search.
"Going out again, Yang?"
The blonde turned to her sister and smiled. "Yep, homework's easy right now gotta enjoy the city while we can."
A white heard girl scoffed upon hearing and crossed her arms.
"You finished your assignments right?"
Yang rolled her eyes. "Yes, mom."
"Ugh, shut it, I just don't want anyone on my team slacking off."
The blonde chuckled at Wiess's irritation, she then turned to her partner sleeping on her bed on the lower bunk.
"Hey partner, going to a bookstore want me to look for your erotic novel?"
A pillow hit her face in response.
"Shut it, Yang." A girl with long black hair wearing a black bow replied as she put her book away in embarrassment which was covered in cloth.
Yang put the pillow down and chuckled.
"Come on, we're partners, I just wanna know what your reading, is that so bad?"
The black-haired girl sighed and shook her head.
"Just go"
Yang smiled and stood up. "Alright Blake, just know that I'll find out what you're into sooner or later."
Blake growled and turned her head, waiting for her to leave so she can read her book in relative peace.
The blonde only smiled at her. She felt like she had a boring partner, but she was not so bad. Not to mention she must be pretty fun if she's reading a book she doesn't want her to know about.
"Alright, Blake gotta go."
She walked out of the dorm room of Team RWBY and held up her scroll to see the picture.
Hopefully today she'll find him, that bookstore gotta know something.
Resteraunt in Vale, Now
Yang had finally found the guy just eating a table's worth of food like he hadn't eaten in days. For a bookworm, he sure eats a lot. She was so glad she finally found someone linked to her mother.
"So? Wanna talk? Or do you need convincing like Junior?" She asked seeing that he was silent.
Kron said nothing as he looked at her face, he can see the resemblance and it made his scar burning. He squeezed his knuckles and they cracked.
His audience might be gone, his bait for Raven has found him.
Maybe it's time to just take his revenge now.
Either way with everything going wrong he needed a fight.
"Thing is, I don't feel like talking," Kron spoke to her for the first time. "And I'm going to need a lot more convincing than whatever you dished out at Juniors."
The blonde blinked a couple of times before chuckling.
Kron rose an eyebrow. "What are you laughing at?"
She gave a thumbs up. "Dish out, I got it." She pointed at his table.
He looked at the table and sees piles of dishes.
"Ugh" He put his hand in his face annoyed at that. "That wasn't on purpose."
Yang only shrugged as if she was used to others not getting her sense of humor. That was fine, they're just jealous they can't recognize good comedy.
Kron reached into his pockets and left some lien on the table.
He then stood up in front of Yang.
The two were the same height.
Kron had a frown that showed his frustration.
Yang had a smirk looking forward to a fight with her 'stalker'.
His plan was in shambles, so maybe he should just knock her out and get his revenge now. But what if he can still have an audience.
He'll decide based on her response to this.
"Look, I'm not in a good mood right now, so leave unless you want a beating."
He was glaring fiercely at the daughter of his greatest enemy, anyone who's seen this glare would usually falter.
But she smirked and had a toothy smile.
"That a threat or a promise?"
...
Not even a hint of trepidation.
He faltered for a second, he looked surprised at that reaction.
A smirk came to his face. So be it, she asked for it.
"I like the food here, let's take this outside."
Yang grinned, eager for the action to start.
"Fine by me."
The two left the restaurant.
While they left a woman with white and black hair watched them.
A server walked up to her.
"Your cookies and creme ice cream ma'am."
The woman just smiled at the server as he walked away.
She then pulled out her scroll and texted.
Vale, a bit away from the restaurant.
"So stalker, you got a name?" Yang asked.
Kron glanced at her, there wasn't any reason to tell her, she might run away scared if Raven told her anything about him. Best not tell her.
"Didn't I tell you that I didn't feel like talking, you have to convince me to talk?"
And now she will say that she warned him or something like Raven would.
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
He looked surprised and glanced back at her to see her face.
She only grinned and cracked her knuckles.
...
That was unexpected. This isn't how Raven would act at all. She actually looks like she wants the fight more than the information she requested.
Must be a facade, just like the mother's 'the strong live and the weak die' bullshit.
"It will be for you."
Yang only giggled ready for a fight.
The two walked into a clearing away from any prying eyes that might catch them and a good enough amount of space.
Kron took off his black jacket and tossed it aside.
Now in his white T-shirt, he had his arms at his sides.
And his tail wrapped around his waist looking like a furry belt. He still intended to hide his tail from plain sight, hopefully she won't notice it, so he can remain hidden if he decides to wait for Garnet's deal.
Yang took a fighting stance, her arms raised like a boxer.
"No weapon?"
"Don't need one."
She grinned.
"In that case maybe I'll take mine off." She said reaching for her bracelets.
"No" Kron replied. "You'll need all the help you can get with me."
Yang eyed him, she had never fought someone without their weapon. But hey if they asked for it it's on them. Not to mention he could be dangerous if he was looking for her and had known about her search for Raven.
"If you say so tough guy." She said as she trusted her arms, her bracelets turned into gauntlets with small gun barrels in them. "Ready?"
Kron thought of what to do, he wasn't sure if he should lure Raven just yet. He hasn't fought anyone hand to hand in too long, he'll decide after a held-back fight with her.
"I am, you're not," Kron said honestly not even taking a fighting stance. He's fought actual huntsmen, in teams and their strongest, she's only a Beacon Academy student/
That only made Yang glare and she ran after him intending on making the first move.
She threw a left straight punch aimed at his face.
Which Kron blocked even though he didn't need to.
Undeterred she threw a right elbow at his face which was caught.
Yang then spun a kick with her left leg and this time it connected as he wasn't expecting a kick.
The force didn't hurt but it was enough to tilt Kron's body and lowered his head.
The blonde then smirked as she threw a punch straight down on top of his head.
Which again connected and lowered his head even more.
The girl chuckled as she used her left to throw an uppercut.
And the Saiyan looked up from the hit.
This time the girl was smiling at how it landed, but was surprised. She used enough strength to send him flying in the air but all she did was make him look up.
Kron lowered his head and smirked showing no pain from the combo she threw at him.
"Not a bad combo, here's mine."
Kron lifted his leg and kneed Yang in the stomach.
She was forced to keel over from the impact.
The Saiyan then uppercut her chin forcing her head to look up.
And with his left hand, he forward chops at her throat.
Once it hit Yang's head came forward with a gag from the strike.
And Kron spun kick with his right leg and it sent her flying back.
Yang looked surprised as she was sent flying into the air.
The Saiyan looked up and watched.
He was hoping for some entertainment maybe he should've held back a bit more power.
Yang then threw her fists to the ground, it was enough to force her to trigger her shotgun gauntlets, they fired at the ground to propel her in the air longer.
Kron eyed her face expecting to see some fear, but he was surprised to see something else.
She was smiling.
The blonde then thrust her hands back triggering her gauntlets again and propelling her toward her opponent.
"Recovering in mid-air, not bad."
Once Yang cocked back her right arm a clear sign she was going to throw a right.
"Amature" This was already starting to get boring, he'll knock her out now for Raven, he threw a straight kick aimed up at her head.
But Yang didn't punch forward she punched to her right, firing a shotgun blast and propelling her to the side.
It was just fast enough to avoid Kron's kick.
The Saiyan was caught by surprise at that as she got to the side.
The golden-haired girl then threw her left fist back to get behind Kron with a fist raised up.
Still holding back Kron could only turn around.
Yang then threw a straight punch into Kron's face, and a shotgun also and sent him stumbling backward.
Taking advantage of her opponent's shaking she then threw a couple of punches into his gut.
And then she uppercut his face making him look up and then she grits her teeth and threw a straight punch into his chest.
Kron stumbled back, not hurt, but the force was enough to make him go back.
He looked surprised from getting hit, the speed and strength he used were on average huntsmen. And this Beacon Student not only landed a hit but actually caught him off guard.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
The Saiyan looked at Raven's daughter.
She was smiling, a mixture of smugness and excitement.
"You got more in the tank right? Come on, if your not gonna talk at least make this a good warm up."
Warm-up?
She's still not talking like Raven.
Kron only smirked.
"Trust me, I'm holding back quite a bit of strength right now."
It takes a team of elite huntsmen to actually harm him, and it takes a Maiden to make him bleed. Or apparently someone with multiple semblances.
She has no idea how strong he is.
"Really?" She asked with a shine in her eyes. "Come on! Why not show me what you got?"
Kron rose an eyebrow and clicked his tongue.
Of course, Raven's Daughter would also act like a Saiyan. But he knows it's a facade, she's more like her mother and uncle. Tricksters who like to pretend they're warriors when their just petty weaklings when they lose the upper hand.
"Pfft, I'm only holding back because it's been forever since I fought someone who knows hand-to-hand and I don't want the fight over just yet." Kron then smirked. "Although I noticed those strikes were harder than the last, that must mean you holding back too right?"
It wasn't much harder but still, that was a good sign, maybe he won't knock her out for Raven after all.
At least not yet.
"Maybe," Yang said with a cheeky grin, she was using her Semblance to increase her strength bit by bit. "Does that scare you?"
"No way" Kron replied. "I'm actually hoping that you can punch it up a bit."
Yang's lost her grin hearing that and giggled.
The Saiyan rose an eyebrow.
"Why're you laughing?"
"Sorry, it's just" She started giggling even more. "That was another good one!" The girl kept laughing.
Kron looked confused.
"What now!?"
Yang couldn't stop chuckling but once she calmed down she threw a punch in mid-air.
"The pun you just made, I get it!" Yang giggled, still seeing him confused. "Punch it up, that was really good."
Kron heard that and groaned.
"Going to ignore that."
"What? Come on, don't punch out on me!" Yang said with a smile.
"Grr!" Kron was about to punch the giggling out of her.
*RING!* *RING!
He stopped hearing that horrible noise, he glanced where it was coming from and glared annoyed.
Yang sees that and glanced at her opponent. "You wanna get that? I can wait."
Kron tilted his head.
"Get what?"
"Your scroll, duh." She pointed at his jacket that he tossed aside. "It's coming from your jacket."
His scroll? Oh right, he actually forget Garnet gave him one. She said she could wait, that's not like Raven either, she'd take advantage of the confusion and attack him. He walked to his jacket while eying her wondering if she'll attack. Sure a surprise attack wouldn't do her any good, but she's been tricked enough by her mother and uncle.
Yang rolled her eyes at how he was watching her.
"Come on, don't be so paranoid, I'll wait, hurry and answer it so we can keep going!"
From the sound of her voice, she really wanted to continue the fight, and for it to be fair.
He decided to just go to his jacket and pulled out his scroll.
A holographic screen was showing but then it was pulled into the device holding it. It went back in when Kron pressed a button on it accidentally but it was still ringing.
Kron was annoyed as he tried to make the holographic touch screen appear so he can answer this call. He tapped on it and shook it but it didn't work. As a child, he figured out how to use a space pod and a scouter. But since he came to this planet he's never used any piece of technology so he was a bit out of touch and couldn't figure out how to use what is supposed to be a simple device. He kept tapping the scroll trying to get it to answer the ringing.
Yang watched as he was comedically failing to use his own scroll. She rose an eyebrow, she's never seen anyone struggle with using a scroll, he kept shaking it and tapping it while holding the button that closes the holo touch screen. She giggled and walked forward deciding to help so they can get back to the action.
Kron was frustrated as he kept shaking.
"Hey, caveman."
He glanced to see Yang standing next to him, was he going to attack him now after all?
"Easy there" She can tell he's thinking of hitting her. "You're holding the close button in the middle, let go and swipe it." She used a finger to motion how to do it.
"Tch" Kron rolled his eyed but knew that he wasn't getting anywhere right now. He held his scroll differently and swiped on top of it, nothing was happening.
Yang chuckled which got a glare from the boy. "Oh, give it here!" She took the scroll from his hand and he was caught off guard by how she casually took it from him. She swiped at it on the side showing the holo touch screen with the name 'Garnet' and a green call button. She showed him the scroll.
Kron looked at it with a blank expression, fighting down some embarrassment at how idiotic he looked when she just opened the screen.
"Now you press the green button." She said slowly like he was an idiot.
The Saiyan growled and took it from her. "I knew that shove it!"
"Your welcome~" She giggled seeing his angry face.
Kron turned around and tried to ignore her.
Yang chuckled never seeing how someone can be so out of touch with a scroll, it was like he grew up in the woods, and true to her word she walked back to where she was intending to wait so they can continue their fight.
Kron pressed the green button and held it to his face.
"What is it, Garnet?"
"Kron, we, uh have some bad news." The old woman said on the other side.
During the call, Yang was stretching her arms while watching her stalker answer the call. She was smiling as she did so looking forward to when the call ended. Today wasn't quite what she expected, she thought she'd rough this guy up for whatever info he had on her mother and go about her day.
But, she found out that this guy can really fight! Way better than any student she's fought in Beacon so far, maybe even better than Pyrrha. And that got her blood really pumping, she was going to need to pull all the stops to beat this guy. He looked about her age too, but he's not a student, but he was stronger and faster than anyone her age. She wondered how he'd do against someone like her uncle Qrow.
Yang giggled, man, she can't wait for his scroll call to end! There's very little she gets excited for than a good fight!
Kron heard what Garnet had to say and had a glare on his face.
"Slate's gone missing? How? I thought he was at that black market clinic."
"I don't know, three doctors were killed, the security camera's busted, and he hasn't been seen." Garnet sighed. "I have people looking into it, but as it stands now, I don't think I can afford to go through with our deal, I'm sorry."
Kron didn't argue, it made sense. Days ago she explained that without her champion to make revenue, she can't bribe the right people to look the other way when he would kidnap Yang a Beacon Acaedmy student, and put her arena out of business.
And Kron didn't want that, he enjoyed the underground arenas, and they brought him joy for the past eight years.
He turned to Yang who was stretching. The long-haired girl smiled and waved at him without a care in the world.
His plan has truly gone to shit. It looks like he's better off just getting his revenge now.
"So Kron, what would you like to do?" Garnet asked from his scroll.
He's already decided.
"I'll let you know in a bit." He then pulled his scroll away and pressed the red button on the holo touch screen assuming it hangs up. He was relieved when it did.
He placed his scroll in his jacket pocket and turned to his target.
Yang stretched her arms and took her fighting stance. "Ready to get back to it Caveman?"
"Caveman?" He asked annoyed.
"Well you won't give me your name, you just learned how to use a scroll so until you give me a name, I'm calling you caveman."
This girl really liked getting on his nerves
Also, he was going to have to keep quiet that he lives in a cave in Anima, it'd give her more ammunition that can annoy him.
Somehow it seemed to ease him with how she was antagonizing him, it was something he almost liked.
"Heh, fine, but I'll be calling you, loser once you're knocked out."
"If you can" She replied back with a smile eager to continue the fight.
He will, after warming up with her he'll knock her out once he's bored and have his vengeance now. No reason not to with how things are.
This time Kron threw himself at Yang fighting the urge not to hold back.
Yang smirked as she threw a punch of her own.
The two fists connected.
Yang grimaced as her punch was weaker than her opponent, but she smirked through the pain.
Kron growled at that.
Again she's acting like a Saiyan, but she won't for long.
She'll be running away when she realizes she's outmatched just like her mother.
The two threw a clash of punches at each other.
Kron weaved under one punch and landed one across Yang's face.
Now she'll start running away pretty soon.
But to his surprise, she threw another punch which had more force behind it.
It hit his face, not hurting him but enough to turn his head.
Yang chuckled. "You impressed yet?" And she threw another punch.
Kron caught it and noticed that the punch again increased with force.
"I'm just surprised you haven't run away yet."
"Run away? Wow, for a stalker you don't know much about me!"
She yelled and threw another punch but it was blocked.
Kron looked at her face, he sees no fear, just determination. More than any huntsman he's seen.
He's starting to think this was no act.
"Heh, maybe your right." He said as he blocked another punch. "Also, I have to say your fighting's pretty good, there are not enough people that appreciate hand-to-hand."
"So you not bored anymore?" She asked as she tried to kick at his side.
Kron blocked it and smirked.
"Meh, maybe a little less." This fight was fun, but it'd be better if it wasn't for the huge strength gap he had on her. "I'll say this though, you're fighting's a bit more advanced than what Raven taught me."
Yang's punch missed and her eyes widened.
"Taught?" She asked aloud. "She taught you?" That wasn't what she expected, she thought he might know Raven but that statement seemed to make her confused and a bit angry.
Kron couldn't help but note how she reacted to that and kicked her stomach sending her back.
Yang held her stomach and glared at him losing the smirk she had moments ago.
"Yes, she did."
The blonde heard that and it seemed to have taken some enthusiasm from her making her pause.
"Looks like your done, well you were fun while it lasted, I'll just finish this here."
Time to bring out the old hag.
Kron dashed towards Yang this time and threw a punch at a faster speed than before.
Yang took a hit to the cheek surprised that he was holding back quite a bit.
The Saiyan then threw a punch across the other side of her face.
As he did her hair started to glow brighter.
Kron then swept and kicked.
It forced the girl's feet off the ground and she was about to land on her back.
But Kron grabbed the girl by the boot before she could hit the ground, he then lifted her up and spun kicking her side.
This sent the girl skidding across the ground until she hit the abandoned building behind her and caused a spiderweb crack.
Yang was now sitting, her hair was down covering her face.
Kron looked at her state and wondered if he gave her a bit too much strength. He still wanted to continue the fight but he couldn't resist showing more of his strength after she made a joke out of his words. That accidental pun really annoyed him.
He shrugged.
Oh well, maybe Raven will come out of hiding now, sucks he can't have his audience but at least he can have his revenge. He'll just have to wait for her to noti-
Just then he heard a noise and looked at Yang.
She got up from the cracked wall behind her.
Guess that wasn't enough to lure Raven.
But from the look of it, one more attack should be enough to shatter her Aura and bring out the hag.
"This next one will do the trick." He said as he dashed forward with, a greater speed than he's shown.
Yang showed no reaction her hair still covering her face.
Once he was within range he threw a punch with greater strength knowing that it will be enough to knock her out.
A loud noise can be heard.
Kron's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
His punch was caught in the hand of Yang.
The daughter of Raven looked at him her face revealed to him.
And the Saiyan couldn't turn away from what he was seeing. For some reason, he was actually amused at it.
Her face was giving off a look of rage, her hair glowed like flames, and her eyes were blood red.
"Raven taught you, she trained you right?"
That's why she's making that face?
"Yeah, what about it?"
Yang's eyes shined brighter red and squeezed.
Kron noticed that she had gotten stronger by her tightening grip.
"Start talking." She started sounding threatening. "Where is Raven?"
Most people would be terrified of Yang at this moment and tell her everything she wants to know.
But Kron, a Saiyan, couldn't help but enjoy the tone. The rage was all over her face and in her words.
He grinned, he wanted to see more of it.
"I'm not convinced ye-"
Before he could finish Yang punched straight into his face in the mouth.
This sent Kron rolling away and hitting a wall behind him.
He started getting up and noted that again there was more force in that one.
"So that's it" He remembered how many times he's hit her at this point. "Your semblance lets you absorb the strength from my attacks and add it to your own." He smirked. "That's way better than I imagined from you, I was expecting some other portal semblance or something that involved escaping."
Yang started walking forward glaring at him.
"Who are you to my mom? And where is she?! Talk now!"
Kron was still enjoying the rage coming off of her but at the same time, she was confused. She seemed to have changed from being annoyingly happy to this deadly, literal firey rage.
And his curiosity got the better of him.
Maybe he won't knock her out just yet.
"Who I am to your mom?" He asked wondering why that was important and to test the waters decided to partly answer the question. "Well, I've known her since I was a kid, we met when I was... five years old."
Not the whole story he just wanted to see her reaction before deciding to tell her everything.
"Since you were five!?" She was surprised that he didn't say he was her son. "She raised you? But not her own kid?!"
That last statement piqued Kron's interest even further.
First, she absolutely confirmed that she was Raven's daughter. That was good.
But that last statement.
She didn't raise her.
While she was with the Branwen Tribe more than her brat, he remembered Vernal mentioned that she would leave every now and then. She had him believe that was when she went to her daughter.
But it sounded like the two didn't meet.
Kron was further curious.
But also he was disappointed.
Does that mean knocking her out won't bring Raven out? She went through a lot of trouble to hide the fact she had a daughter though. Records were changed, no one knew what team she was in or her life at Beacon Academy. Maybe it wasn't her that changed anything but whoever the father is. That would make sense.
So was he wasting his time searching for her? He scoffed being really annoyed at that thought.
"Hey!"
Kron was brought out of his thoughts and surprised to see Yang was already in front of him. Guess he thinking so much that he didn't notice how close she walked.
Yang grabbed him by the shirt with both hands and glared into his eyes.
"Did she send you to me? Does she not have the guts to talk to me herself?!"
The Saiyan looked at the crimson eyes as he was being manhandled.
He chuckled, then grabbed her arms and pulled them aside.
Yang snarled as he freed himself from her grasp.
Kron then reared back his head and headbutt her in the face making her head go back.
He then threw a fist into her stomach making her keel over.
The Saiyan chuckled, her hair was still glowing. Did that mean her semblance was still active?
Yang looked up at Kron and answered his unsaid question.
She threw a punch straight into Kron's face again.
And Kron could have dodged it but he wanted to see how strong she had gotten, so he only smiled as it reached his face.
The punch hit him in the face and sent him through the abandoned building behind him, creating a huge dust cloud from the impact.
After that Yang fell to the ground.
She was panting heavily, her firey hair stopped glowing and her eyes turned to normal purple.
Her Aura was at its limit, no one has pushed her this much since her father or uncle Qrow.
Just who was he? When did he and Raven meet?
She pushed herself to stand up exhausted, but she put all the strength that boy gave her into that attack.
The girl started walking barely, but she stopped when she sees a shadow in the dust.
"No way." Yang couldn't believe it, all that and he was still fine?!
Just then Kron appeared right in front of her.
Her eyes widened at the sight.
The Saiyan chuckled. "A rule to follow in the future, if you only see dust, don't assume the enemy is down."
Yang glared and threw another punch.
But before it could land Kron punched her face and sent her flying.
The girl hit a wall again.
And this time yellow glass-like light showed and shattered.
Her Aura had reached its limit and she fell to the ground.
Kron looked at her and sighed. Guess the fight was over this time, too bad he was having quite a bit of fun. Which is weird. This girl couldn't make him use even half of his strength but there was something about her that made him want to savor this fight. The rage, the desire to push herself, and seeing the thrill of the fight itself in an opponent were also refreshing.
Most just wanted to prove they were stronger, revenge, or just justice, but this girl enjoyed the fight itself. And she showed so much rage which he also didn't hate.
It made her more fun than most opponents.
It all felt good to see all those qualities in an opponent.
Kron glanced around the girl.
Still no portal.
This either means Raven really doesn't care about her daughter or...
Yang grunted as she stood up, a bit of blood was on her face from the attack.
Kron was again impressed by the girl. She's out of Aura but she's still able to stand. So she's not knocked out, meaning Raven could still show up for her.
Now though, what will she do?
Surely she'll run now.
She knows she's outmatched and she's out of Aura.
This will be when she reveals how she's like Raven.
But Kron's eyes widened at what she did next.
Yang took a fighting stance and glared.
Ready and willing to fight.
"I'm not done with you yet."
Raven would no doubt try to run at this point or bargain with him.
Even a good number of Saiyans would think of escape in this situation if they were in her position.
Kron tilted his head.
"You still want to keep going? Even after I've proven that I'm way too strong for you? Shouldn't this be the part where you try to run?"
Yang glared even harder. "There you go again! Why do you keep saying that I would run? Do you think I'm some sort of coward?!"
Actually, he did, he assumed that when he found out she had a daughter he imagined someone who'd run if they weren't absolutely sure she could win. If the fight was even and she couldn't predict an easy enough victory she would run.
"Is that what Raven told you?" Yang demanded. "Did she say I was a coward that would run from a fight? Tell her she doesn't even know me!"
Kron actually listened and he looked astonished.
Looking at her in this situation, he remembered something.
His last fight against Raven.
Kron remembered how he was willing to fight her, even though at the time she was stronger than him. But he didn't back down, he had a half-baked plan but he was willing to risk everything just to fight her. He was willing to fight a stronger opponent.
Just like this girl.
He looked at her still panting but still with her arms up ready to continue.
At that moment the burning he felt from his scar started to lessen, and he could barely see any trace of Raven like he did at the start.
He was starting to forget that the old hag was her mother.
But he shook his head and thought of what to do.
Just one more blow would knock her out. And that should attract Raven.
Although her recent rant shows that she has never seen Raven. Meaning that she most likely wouldn't show up.
Well, there's one way to find out.
Kron dashed towards her with faster speed and threw a strike faster than she can see in her face.
But then he looked in her eyes, the fire, the rage. It was still there, the will to fight.
At this point, the stress he felt from his plan falling into shambles had disappeared.
And just before he was going to land the knockout blow, he stopped just an inch before her face.
Yang's eyes widened, she wasn't surprised that he was faster than she can see him, especially with her lack of Aura. But she was surprised that he stopped.
Kron looked at her now purple eyes that she was glaring at him with. He chuckled at her reaction.
The girl then threw a punch against his cheek which didn't make him flinch this time and hurt her more than it hurt him.
The Saiyan noticed that and smiled.
"You really aren't what I imagined."
"Whatever she told you!" Yang began with gritted teeth. "She doesn't know me!" She threw another punch.
Which had missed as the Saiyan vanished before it could land.
Yang looked around for the boy and she saw him.
The boy was grabbing his black jacket and putting it back on.
"Hey! What are you doing? I said I'm not done with you!"
Kron glanced behind him to see the girl still eager for a fight.
He smirked.
"Wanna know something actually funny?" Kron asked the girl who was enjoying his accidental puns.
Yang glared her eyes weren't turning red showing that she can't use her semblance right now.
"What?" The tone she asked was threatening.
Kron smirked at that and looked forward to her response to his next words.
"I can bring Raven here, right now."
Her eyes widened at that, not expecting to hear that.
"What? What do you mean? How?"
By knocking her out, but he's having too much fun to tell her that.
"What does it matter? Make your own conclusion, just know that I am telling the truth when I say I can bring here at any moment."
That's assuming if, Raven does give a damn about her daughter. For all, he knows she might not care to come like when she refused to come for her brother.
Yang growled and gritted her teeth hearing that which only seemed to make his shit-eating grin even wider. If he's telling the truth then it must be some sort of semblance that he can do to bring her here, if that's the case she really couldn't let him go now.
"Bring her here! Now!" Her eyes started fading to red but back to purple showing her Aura was recharging.
Kron only chuckled in response.
"Thing is I was planning to." After Garnet's scroll call, he was intending to knock her out with what he thought was enough strength to knock her out but she kept proving him wrong each time. And she just kept on making their encounter more fun, her aggressive personality made him want to drag their meeting out. And he thought it might be more fun to delay his fight with Raven for now.
Plus he doesn't know for sure if his deal with Garnet can't happen yet. All he knows is Slate is missing, so there's a chance it can still happen and he's willing to see if it can.
Kron continued to speak. "But, I think it'd be more fun not to for a bit longer."
"Fun? What's fun? You like seeing me angry?" Most would be terrified of her.
But he actually did, it was enjoyable. Plenty of Saiyans would.
"Perhaps," Kron said smirking. "Also I think you should try to earn that, I'll bring her to us, if you can give me more fun. Right now, you seemed to have run out of steam."
In other words, if she can entertain him more, he'll knock her out as a 'prize' that's quite the joke.
"I've got more to give right now," Yang said as she started walking, struggling from the pain of his attacks.
Kron merely chuckled, this girl was just way more amusing than he thought she'd be.
"You'll have even more next time I hope, but before I leave a couple of things." He turned to her dressed back in his outfit. "First, huntsman schools assign teams right? While I would like one on one with you, I think it'd be better if you had your team at your back."
Yang looked at him strangely. "My team? You want to fight my team?"
Before she would think this guy was bluffing but after hitting him with everything he threw at her and it didn't even scratch him, then he might be able to take on her and team RWBY.
But she shook her head. There was no way she was going to drag her team, especially her sister into her messes. Not again. She remembered how she almost got her sister killed when she was trying to look for her.
"This is between me, you, and Raven." She seethed, and her eyes were glowing red showing that her Aura was close to being completely recharged. "You're not touching my friends."
He shrugged, this girl really wanted to fight him herself which was also appealing. But he also would like to have as much fun as he can with her and those like her.
"If you want to fight one-on-one again that's up to you, I just thought if you're this strong your Beacon team has to be too." Kron pointed out. "You all might be able to provide me with a warm-up."
A warm-up for his death match with Raven. He doubts that they're physically stronger than the average huntsman like Yang but he's sure that the ones she's partnered with should provide some entertainment.
While his deal with Garnet might be off the table now, there's still a chance it can happen. And with the good mood, he's in he's willing to try. Hopefully, Garnet can find Slate and keep their deal.
Like an opening act. Maybe if the deal is still on he can convince Garnet to allow him to bring four Beacon Academy students to fight in the arena. Before he was just going to knock out Yang in the arena, but fighting a team of Beacon students as a warm-up seemed more appealing.
Yeah, that'd be nice.
But if it turns out the deal can't happen after all, fine, he'll just wait for this girl to find him again. She's eager to fight him and now eager to track her down, similar to how he is with Raven.
"See if this warms you up!" Yang's Aura had recharged and she trusted her arms back using shotgun blasts to propel her forward.
Intending to beat the answers out of him.
But predictably, Kron vanished as her attack missed and appeared a few feet behind her.
"That attack wouldn't have tickled, just so you know."
Yang turned around and glared while clenching her fists.
"And another thing, that semblance." Kron still grinned. "I like it, I think it's my favorite from what I've seen, no tricks, not boring, just pure power, it reminds me of someone else's, only you don't need a weapon so yours is better, taking your opponent's attack and making it your strength? Very interesting, used right it can be quite the equalizer for stronger opponents."
She growled and kept trying to throw punches releasing multiple shotgun blasts.
During so Kron evaded each one, laughing while showing off his speed.
To add insult to injury he continued his advice hoping that she'll get more formidable with it. If she's willing to listen.
"Since Aura recharges very quickly." Most of the time quicker than Ki does, Aura users generally need less time before they can fight again compared to Ki users. That was one of the few advantages Aura had over Ki. "When your hit you should focus on evading and defense until your Aura recharges completely before throwing yourself back at the enemy, if you did that instead of just charging forward all the time, your Semblance could stockpile even greater strength, making you an even bigger force to be reckoned with."
And more fun for him. Maybe she can get as strong as a Maiden, if she's able to endure.
Yang just kept throwing punches, her Ember Cilica blasting shotgun blast after blast. But then she ran out of ammo and growled.
Kron stopped and moved around and chuckled at her frustration.
"And finally, remember these words, it saved me a couple of times." He said appearing right in front of her which made her jump a bit. "It takes more than brute force to win a fight, you should think a bit more strategically in the future." That lesson saved him from Raven in their battle eight years ago.
Kron knew how she was going to react when he says where he picked that up from.
Yang took the chance to swing a fist at him, which he blocked.
This put him in an even better mood.
"Your mother taught me that lesson."
Yang started seeing red and threw another punch.
Which again was blocked.
"My name is Kron." He thought that she earned the right to know his name given how fun and interesting she was.
Yang looked at him strangely, which wasn't surprising considering his name wasn't anything on this planet.
"Kron huh? Finally decided to give me your name." She glared. "How about you bring my mother here? Now!"
He chuckled at her.
"I'll be around Vale for a bit. Come find me again, with or without your team, your call." He said as he smiled. "If you're strong enough to entertain me, maybe I'll bring your mother here to speak."
Before he kills the old hag.
He then vanished with his super speed.
The blonde looked all around for any sign of the boy who Raven had raised. The one she chose over her daughter.
She realized that he wasn't around.
Yang squeezed her fists thinking of how helpless she was during this 'fight', she had mixed emotions.
On the one hand, she wanted to keep fighting him, it was fun. She had to really push herself.
And on the other, she was angry. Angry that her new lead to Raven getting away, angry at Raven for raising someone she wasn't even related to. She thought maybe she didn't want a family. That she wasn't interested in being a parent. But she actually raised a kid!
Then she imagined that smug guy with a shit-eating grin.
Also angry at him for refusing to tell her anything.
Yang punched the ground making a small crater in rage.
She looked up and sighed.
The girl shook her head. He said he was going to be in Vale. That's fine then, she'll find him, and make him talk.
One way or another.
Vale On Top of A Building
Kron landed on top of a building a bit far from his little fight with Yang.
He had his scroll on and remembered Yang showing him how to use it.
"Hey, Garnet I'm willing to wait to see if you can figure out what happened to Slate, let me know if the deal is doable or not."
"Very well, I will update you if anything comes up."
"Also we need to talk about Junior, that idiot sold me out to Raven's brat."
"What?! Ugh, must be for that lost bet when Slate became champion, I should've known he wasn't going to let that go! I'm sorry." She sighed. "Did that girl find you? Does she know you're after her?"
Kinda, but it turned out to be fine.
"Yes, but it's fine it worked out."
"What do you mean?"
She's after him now which doesn't ruin the plan at all.
"I'll explain later, but right now I don't suppose it'll be safe to get some payback. Junior still put the plan at risk"
Even though he had a decent fight, Junior still told Yang without him knowing. If she turned out to be like her mother she could've run away. He would've absolutely murdered Junior for that, for now, he'll settle with giving him and anyone in his way a beating.
"I'll message when his club closes, should be safe for you to teach him the error of his ways."
"Great" Now he'll have to figure how how 'messages' work on scrolls, should be fine. Hopefully. "Alright, we'll talk more later gonna grab some food."
"Have a nice meal."
Kron then pressed the red button as his scroll turned off the holo touch screen. Now he knows how to use his scroll. Another good thing meeting Raven's brat did for him, ven though it was embarrassing.
He'll have to remember not to let her know that he lives in a cave in Anima.
Kron then started walking thinking of where to go to eat, somewhere a little far, as tempting as it was he didn't want to bump into Yang just yet. He wanted to give her time to hopefully remember his advice.
And he couldn't stop grinning, earlier he was upset that his plan was falling apart. But that girl, her drive to fight, exchanging fists with her, and her Semblance.
It was all so appealing to the Saiyan.
Not to mention how she wanted to continue the fight regardless of how strong he was.
The best part is that given what he now knows of her, he doesn't have to worry about her running away.
No, she will be hunting for him, she will want to fight him both for the sake of a fight and to know more about her mother.
Still, that is a problem.
What if Raven doesn't show up after he knocks her out?
Kron growled in annoyance at that, if that were the case then this might've been a waste of time.
But then he thought of Yang, her fighting ability, her Semblance. It was something that with a certain training could prove to be formidable.
If Raven wouldn't come to save her daughter, maybe he can try his little experiment on her. He thought of maybe trying with Adam but she seems more suited to it.
Or maybe he can try it before knocking her out. If it's as successful as he hopes it would make her able to provide a warm if she can progress fast enough.
Though that's a big if, still, something worth thinking about.
So many options to make, and seemingly plenty of time to do it.
He shook his head, that's for later, for now, if his plan with Garnet can go through he might look forward to having a fight not just with Yang but with whoever her teammates are.
He vs beacon students as an opening act for his final battle with Raven.
The crowd would love that.
Sure he's battled huntsman teams, but with a drive to fight like Yang's, it might get interesting.
He smiled as he started walking to jump off the building into an alley.
This really put him in a better mood than before, and she didn't even need to be that strong.
Just looking at the fire in her eyes put him at ease.
Also, it was interesting to find out how she seems to hate Raven almost as much as he does.
Maybe it wasn't so bad that she found out about him after all.
He glared, that being said, he needed to pay Junior a visit, meeting Yang early may have actually helped him relax but still, he was angry at that shades wearing idiot for ratting him out.
Now then the question is will that girl challenge him to be herself again or bring her team?
Fun either way.
Plus after he kills Raven maybe her Spring Maiden powers go to Yang, prepping her to be fun in the future.
Or if Raven doesn't show up, maybe he can try that idea he had.
It would suck if she didn't show after all this.
But even if she doesn't he has a backup plan to have fun and save Raven for later.
Either way, he will have fun in his time in Vale.
"Even your own daughter hates you, Raven, just how many have you backstabbed?" He laughed at how this all turned out.
He got to relieve some stress and find a backup plan if anything goes wrong.
While he waits for any updates on Garnet's champion he'll focus on searching where he got extra Aura and semblances.
Hopefully, he'll find someone else with those enhancements, it's been too long since he had an all-out fight with someone.
That'll kill his time while waiting on Yang and her team.
It wasn't a bad day after all.
Vale Safehouse
The woman with black and white hair was waiting in an elevator.
Once she got out she walked to a room and used her card to open it.
Inside was what looked like a luxurious hotel room.
A man dressed in white wearing a bowler hat was sitting at his desk with a cigar and a glass of whiskey.
"Cookies and cream today?" Roman asked as he smoked.
Pink light fell off the black and white-haired girl.
She had changed into a half-brown half pink haired girl with some shade of white on the pink side. Her left eye was brown and her right eye pink.
"What ya got Neo?"
Neo shrugged and pointed at him.
Roman understood and pulled out his scroll.
He sees a message.
It was a video of the unmasked scourge of Anima fighting some girl, probably a Beacon Academy student.
"This doesn't tell me much." He said once the video played and looked at his assistant.
Neo tilted her head.
Again her boss knew what she was saying.
"I know, I didn't mean you were doing a bad job, I'm just a little frustrated that we're still on borrowed time." He replied as he looked at the video and held it to his ear trying to listen. "Ah, guess you couldn't afford to get too close."
The multi-colored hair girl rose a hand to her lips and opened and closed it.
"Oh right, you read their lips, he says anything about himself."
The girl then made a face that looked, dim, and then threw a play punch. And then nodded with a happy face.
"Reall? Should've figured since he was staying with Garnet. Alright, I think we can work with that." He grinned as if he found something he was looking forward to. "Damn it, I forgot, I also have to get that really fancy wine."
Neo put a hand on her hip and rose an eyebrow.
"Easy, I know your not a gofer Neo, you did your work for the day, I can have someone else get it, just help yourself to the ice cream I restocked."
She smiled and started walking to the kitchen.
Roman meanwhile looked at the video of the scourge fighting the blonde.
"Finally, something to go on." Happy with what Neo 'said' to him that she found out about the scourge. If she read his lips right then he knows just what he needs. "Oh right, Neo, not a word to the misses alright?"
The girl turned to her boss and rose her hands and had an obvious look on her face.
"You know what I mean." Roman lightly chuckled at his second in command and shook his head.
Now he just has to stack the deck in his favor and everything should work out.
Merlot's Island
Piles of black Soul Dust were on the table.
Arthur picked up one crystal and held it up to his ear.
"No screaming" He noted as he held up the Dust. "And It's shining brighter, a good sign."
All these Soul Dust crystals were ripened and ready to be of use.
A Seer can be seen floating close to the table showing Salem in its eye.
"Very good, show what semblances these Soul Dust possess to Jax, he's willing to provide us with two test subjects, let him choose two for each of them." The pale lady instructed.
"Of course your grace," Arthur replied.
The Seer turned to another part of the room.
"Dr. Merlot" Salem got the man's attention. "Has Eclipse finished ripening Tyrian's harvest?"
The doctor nodded.
"Yes your grace, see for yourself I believe you'll notice the improvements."
Salem looked at Dr. Merlot's 'son' and definitely noticed some differences.
Before Eclipse was scrawny, with bones and small glowing green spikes at his back with a human skull for a mask.
Now.
Eclipse was bulkier, with bone armor at his chest, knees, and elbows.
Larger green crystals were at his back than before.
His mask is now not just a human skull.
His skull now looked more like a helmet with three spikes at the top of his head and had saber-sized teeth at the bottom.
"Hmm, he looks to have grown," Salem said and smiled. "And this is only Tyrian's harvest, I'm sure he'll be more capable once he ripens Hazel's harvest."
Eclipse glanced down at his father making a slight noise sounding like a whimper showing that he still had his child-like nature.
Dr. Merlot grabbed his hand.
"Don't be scared Eclipse, I know the ripening was hard, but don't you want to be bigger and stronger?"
Eclipse remembered the pain he was in, but he remembered the Scourge and how he wanted to hurt his father. He nodded excitingly.
"That's my big boy."
Salem smiled while Watts looked away disgusted at the scene.
"I've got an idea, while Hazel finishes his last target, what say we test Eclipse as he is now?"
The scientist looked at her, Merlot looked more worried while Eclipse tilted his head.
"My lady," He said gently. "He isn't ready to fight the scourge, we should wait for Hazel to return."
"Not the boy doctor, someone else," Salem replied while looking at Eclipse. "I think we should see how he does against someone else who's been a thorn in our side, wouldn't you say your son would like to leave the island for a bit?"
Dr. Merlot breathed a sigh of relief, he did not want to have Eclipse see what is likely their biggest problem anytime soon.
He wondered who this other problem she was talking about, likely it was something he can handle as he is.
He looked up at his 'son' with a smile.
"What do you say Eclipse, would you like to have your first mission?"
Eclipse looked down at his father and a green line formed on his face.
The mutant Grimm's back started to grow, and two nevermore-like wings sprouted at his back.
He squealed happily no different from what he did in his prior state.
Finally after all this time on his father's island.
Eclipse get's to play.
And that is Kron's first meeting with Yang. Whew, wanted to write that since I started this story. Even more when I had Raven raise him. Hope u guys liked it.
For me, it was really fun writing Kron to find out that the Apple fell far from the tree. Hence the title. He always assumed she was the same as her mother and would run if given the opportunity.
And Raven's lucky that's the case. Yang's personality put him in such a good mood that he's willing to wait a bit longer to see if he can still have the audience Garnet promised him. After all they only know Slate is missing not dead, so that also bought Raven some more time. Plus he sees no harm in it since Yang will continue to hunt him down, no matter what. Though when they find out what happened to Slate Kron will probably just knock her out since there'd be no point in waiting.
Also, he wants to fight her team, hoping they could warm him up for his final fight with Raven. Which, he might regret if she does because a certain Cat Faunus will see him. We'll have to wait and see how that pans out.
Btw, can anyone guess what Neo was 'saying' when Roman pointed out she read their lips? I'll give you a hint, it's to describe what she knows of Kron. What she 'said' might be explained next chapter.
Anyway, now Eclipse finally gets to have some action. He's not going after Kron right now to test his new strength, he's going after someone else for a little test.
I hope you guys are looking forward to that. Also remember, Eclipse has ripened Tyrian's harvest, not Hazels yet, so he's not at his current full potential yet, but I think a lot of you guys will like what he can do right now.
Now about my break. I think I want to do two weeks this time. Hope you guys are ok with that, I just think I need to focus on other things besides writing and also gives me time to commit to what I want to do for the next chapters.
I already know what I want to do but I like time to decide if there's something else I like to do before committing..
Also, Kron is finally going to meet Team RWBY in the next chapters, and I know a lot of you were looking forward to that, I think you'll really like what I write hope it's worth the wait.
Also, off topic, I keep wanting to ask this but I kept forgetting, but is anyone else hype for Budokai Tenkaichi 4? I know I am!
Review Responses.
Guest: Already have a power up lined up, plus shouldn't Kron be stronger for the Evil Saiyan form and does he really need it right now?
dragonscholar: I'm glad your enjoying it, hope I can continue to entertain you.
The rule I follow with Saiyan men and romance is they have to be pursued. And the woman has to be aggressive and determined. So I can make it happen I just can't have Kron taking the initiative and of course avoid rushing it.
Guest: Roman would jump ship if given the chance. Problem is though, he'd have to figure out something Kron would want. If given enough time he might figure out something to bargain with. Kron wouldn't help him for money that's for sure.
If Cinder ever gets angry enough or if they bump into each other while she's doing something illegal she might try something. Salem was adamant about leaving him alone, but she's disobeyed in canon so who knows.
Shrine: Appreciate the insight I'll think about all this.
Kron was born in what I call the Working Class. Saiyans, that were born with power levels even lower than the minimum for their weakest warriors, they are not meant to fight but to do work other Saiyans don't want to do. And Kron didn't have the training or opponents Goku had, so it also limited his growth.
Also a reply to your Rock Smash Review. Lol! Nice.
arryol: PM'd you.
epantoja521: As u can see Kron is willing to drag this out a bit longer. Whose to say for how long though.
Bobby: That would be ironic. Though in canon Adam might think it's for the cause. Who really knows?
anon545: Possibly
ThatSaiyaGuy: While Kron was asking about her, Yang was asking about Raven, she was gonna find out she was being hunted sooner or later.
Hope u liked it! Got the idea from you to show Yang looking for him. So thank you.
Unfortunately, Yang had no reason to think Kron was someone normal she can fight.
Glad you liked what was going on with Raven, got more planned for her and Cher to.
Trickery is kinda what Raven is infamous for, who knows maybe she'll find a way to convince her, she did say there was one thing she remembered about Cher that she can use to get what she needs.
Yeah, Soul Dust is limiting so Salem found a way to make sure she can keep them around.
Maybe, Salem would want as many defenses on her crystals as much as possible. And Ki is something that she doesn't understand.
Your on the right track, ripening the Soul Dust benefits both Eclipse and those who use the crystals. Let's just say if Slate had used Ripened Soul Dust, he would've stood a better chance.
Oh ya, forgot to say. Congrats on guessing that, it was your guess way back when it was revealed that Dr. Merlot wanted to make a copy of Penny's power core that he would get energy attacks. Also Dr. Gero had decades to create androids with infinite energy, so if Dr. Merlot can survive, maybe he can to later on.
Maybe, Dr. Merlot is really protective of him. Last chapter he hesitated before giving Eclipse Soul Dust to ripen.
I think you'll really like Eclipse's origin, I might put a hint of it in the next chapter, since Eclipse finally gets to have some action.
Bashleyz: Of course he has hormones. It's just Saiyans have no interest in romance, it has to be pushed on them. From what we seen the Saiyans have to be pursued, they usually don't take the iniative with finding a partner. Lol, also that's understandible. Wonder what the Oozaru would like like, probably a lion ape, though admittingly with cat ears it would be hard not to make that look silly.
Runeion: Thank you, hope u enjoyed thier first interaction.
Lelouch of Zero: Well you get to see what it's done with Eclipse so far soon, glad you appreciated what was done with the power core. Cher and Raven's conversations are going to be interesting I think. Well as you can see he had his fun for now, he would've liked to keep it going but he thought it'd be more fun to let her get stronge and try to find him instead. With her entire team. Wonder how that would go lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it, hope you enjoyed this one as well.
Bear925: First: Thank you
Lol! Hope you've enjoyed this chapter to, like I said I've wanted to write this for a long time.
As for Fu, lol, all I'm going to say is, anything's possible!
Gohan: I am going to write a series of What ifs for this story, likely after this arc is finished so you'll probably get your wish.
Guest: Gonna be hard to do right now, Dust can't be used in space. Though in the JL crossover Cyborg made it capable of space travel, maybe he can do it here.
BunkerfreakHD: Sorry bud, we don't always get we want, you know Kron, he likes to play with his opponents, but hey it could still happen. Now he might see all of team RWBY.
Overlord TH: PM'd you but I'll reply here so everyone can know. So Eclipse is not getting semblances, he's increasing his tolerance for Aura making him stronger and more durable, and at the same time making the Soul Dust safer to use with less negative side effects. He can't use Soul Dust because he is mostly Grimm so it would hurt him more than help him even if he could try.
anon9919: Thank you.
Kron's limits will be explained soon. As for Eclipse, read my response to Overlord TH.
Also, thank you for pointing that out, I've been forgetting to post the artist's names. It's done now you should be able to find them.
Sarmadsadiq95: Well we're gonna wait a bit longer for that. I think you'll like it when it's finally time for Raven and Kron's reunion.
Also thank you, I'll enjoy the break.
Ok guys, I'm taking my break, this time I'm intending to take two weeks, hope you guys are ok with that but don't worry. I'll do my best to make the next batch of chapters worth the wait.
Thank you for supporting the story and thank you for supporting me whenever I take my breaks. I hope each time the chapters are worth the wait.
Ok guys, see ya in a bit!
Have an awesome day! :)
