Alright back on track. We're back to updating every Saturday.
Not much to say except hope you enjoyed the chapter.
Some Things Never Change
Yang had a frown on her face which was rare. She was seen as the happiest on her team. But right now she just wanted to train, train, get stronger and fight him again.
But right now she was in Vale, not looking for Kron but she was with two of her teammates.
"Come on Yang!" Ruby yelled pointing at a movie theater. "We're going to miss the move! If we don't go now we won't get the best seats!"
Yang sighed and had a fake smile. "Come on Ruby, I told you I needed to go t-"
"No!" The younger sister yelled. "You were banned from using the training room, so leader's orders, you need a vacation! Now come on! We're going to miss the move!"
Then her other teammate spoke.
"What exactly am I doing here then?" Weiss asked and rolled her eyes. "I had plans to go to a spa, why do I have to change plans when I'm not the one training themselves to the bone?!"
Yang rolled her eyes, typical Ice Queen.
"Cause we're besties! Duh! I never leave you out of team fun!"
Weiss groaned and looked at her partner's sister. She remembered this was for her, to get her to relax and maybe confess what's been bothering her.
The things she does for this team.
"Whatever"
Yang then looked around and back at Ruby. "Say, Ruby, how come Blake isn't here, is she not invited to team 'fun'?"
Ruby looked at Weiss and winked which triggered her to roll her eyes. "She uh, had an errand to run, she might join us later!"
The blonde rose an eyebrow at that and shrugged. "Alright I guess, come on, I guess I'll get the popcorn." She walked into the movie theater.
With a smile, the girl in red turned to her partner and winked once again.
Weiss face palmed at how annoying she was with the winking.
Why couldn't she have Blake's job? Sure she's not the stealthiest, but going around investigating where Yang's been going would've been a lot better than being here to cheer up Yang which in reality seems to be just doing whatever Ruby wants.
Blake probably has the easy job, how she wished she could switch places.
Otherside of Vale
Kron had hoped that this girl was just some mercenary hired by Cinder to follow or kill him. Or Adam, Sienna, or even Roman stabbing him in the back. Her bow gave him hope that this wasn't her.
But then she had said his damn name.
She knows him.
Wanting to cling on to any chance that this was not who he thought she was he asked. "Who, who are you?" There's no way it's her, why would she be here this far from Menagerie? It had to be someone else.
The young woman in black looked confused. Either because she didn't expect that question or she didn't expect that confused tone. Either this was a trick or he was conflicted. If he was the latter then her mother may have been right.
"It's me Blake" The disguised Faunus revealed. "Blake Belladonna," She said nervously as if she didn't wish to reveal herself so soon to him.
Damn it.
Kron fought not to grimace at how uncomfortable this situation was. He stared at Blake for a few seconds, feelings of guilt and sadness filled him. Feelings most would think Saiyans shouldn't have. All because of his stay on that damn island.
The Saiyan looked at Blake and noticed that she had a weapon strapped to her back. Her grip was on it, her stance showed she was ready to fight. Is that why she's here? Makes sense, after what he'd done, it would make sense that it would motivate her to train to one day end him.
He knew that feeling all too well.
Maybe he should run. It wouldn't be hard, just vanish, even if she were by some luck a Maiden she wouldn't be able to keep up.
Just when he thought to that he remembered how Raven would always run. And being anything like her made him sick to his stomach. So no he won't run.
So what should he do?
Looking at her eyes he can see that she was looking for one thing to confirm his identity.
Kron did his best to calm himself and finally responded. Though not with words.
With a frown, his tail unwrapped from his waist underneath his shirt.
The tail rose up and swayed side to side for her to see.
Blake looked at the tail and her mouth gaped slightly. Black spikey trident-shaped hair, and a brown tail. She only knew one boy with that description. She finally looked him in the eyes with a frown, not showing if she was happy or not to see him.
Kron's tail wrapped back around his waist hiding in his outfit and he growled slightly.
He would've preferred to be dealing with anything.
Grimm. Huntsmen. Maidens.
Anything would've been better than this.
In front of him was one of the people he betrayed after they had helped him. One he vowed to never see again.
Blake seeing that confirmed a couple of things for him. This was Kron and he wasn't attacking her. She was further eased knowing that.
"Blake" Kron began in a dull tone, he was forcing himself to speak. "I didn't think I'd see you here." He eyed the grip on her weapon. "I never thought I'd see you with a weapon, did you come to swing it at me?" He asked as if it were obvious.
The Cat Faunus's bow twitched at that and eyed him. He wasn't taking any offensive stance at all he just stood there looking at her. "I came to talk. I have questions for you."
Questions? He didn't expect that. Then again Blake was always soft kind of like her mother. But he didn't think she'd be this soft towards someone who harmed their father.
"What questions? What's there to ask?" She was probably going to ask why he betrayed them. And ask why he's attacking the White Fang.
Then she will attack him, he's sure.
Blake now detecting no hostility from him let go of her weapon and slowly lowered her arm. "Just answer some questions." She demanded.
Kron could remember as a child he would've scoffed and beaten her down for talking to him like that. But his days with the Belladonnas seemed to have affected him more than he would've liked.
He looked around and sniffed the air. No one else was around.
And he couldn't bring himself to just ditch the girl, so he'll give into what she wants for now.
Kron turned and started walking.
"Kron?" Blake glared now angry. "Don't just walk away, we need to talk. You owe me, some answers."
The Saiyan turned to her with a frown. "Not here, I have a place we'll talk there."
The Cat Faunus wasn't sure how to feel about that. Years ago she didn't feel safe being anywhere with him but knowing what happened that night and how he's acting now shows that she has no reason not to trust him. For now.
Blake followed behind Kron mentally readying the questions she has for him and hopefully being put at ease at the end.
Kron walked wondering why she even wanted to talk, but he'll do it, he will tell her whatever she wants to know. Though without proof of what happened, she probably won't believe him. He wouldn't either.
Even if she does, she'll probably want revenge for what happened.
Either way after this, he'll hurry up knock out Yang and get out of Vale. He didn't want to stay with her here, he didn't like the feelings he was experiencing.
Far Away
Qrow rose his longsword and held a hand against the flat of the blade.
Hazel's fire Dust enhance fist slammed into it.
The impact forced Qrow to grit his teeth as he was forced back.
He pulled back his long sword as Hazel punched down at the top of his head.
Qrow jumped up as the punch missed and hit the ground. He then kicked on top of Hazel's head forcing him to stumble forward.
With a swing, the former bandit performed multiple slashes across Hazel's back.
That made many large cuts across his back before he flipped and landed a few feet behind him.
From the look of his back, he can see that he was still strong enough to pierce his skin which was good. Meant whatever Hazel did he could still contend with him.
Just then the wounds on his back already started to heal.
"Normal Aura doesn't help heal that many wounds that quickly." Qrow took a stance ready for a counterattack. "So I guess what you have is some sort of Aura Enhancer."
Hazel turned to Qrow. "Not any ordinary one either." With lightning Dust enhancing his speed Hazel charged forward along with his Aura.
Just as he appeared in front of the huntsman he slammed his fist downward.
Again he only hit the ground and somehow Qrow seemed to have vanished.
Hazel wondered how that was possible. Was he that fast now? Just then he noticed a crow fly above his head. He angrily swiped at it only for his arm to miss.
Qrow then shifted back into human form and aimed his longsword downward and fired multiple fire Dust shots.
The brute rose his arms and growled as he was hit.
"Tch" The reaper freefell until he landed on a boulder and looked down at Hazel.
Hazel tossed fire and lightning at him.
But the slimmer man jumped as his attack blew up the boulder and flipped with his sword out at quick speeds.
The brute rose an arm and cringed as the blade managed to go into his arms making a long line of blood across his arms.
Hazel then punched into Qrow's abdomen forcing him to cough and being sent rolling away.
Qrow grimaced as he stabbed his sword into the ground and pushed himself up and he saw lightning being thrown at him.
Again he turned into an actual crow and flew out of the way as the lightning destroyed the rock.
He then shifted back into human form right away and sees Hazel himself charging with a fist cocked back.
Hazel threw a backhand only for Qrow to duck underneath and slashed up across the brute's chest.
With a growl, he brought his arms down where he was.
And once again Qrow proved his agility and backflipped as he slammed into the ground.
Ozpin's subordinate then pressed a button, his long sword shifted into a scythe and swung.
The scythe blade slashed across the brute's face making him turn.
Hazel growled as he turned with a large cut across his cheek and trusted his hands forward firing lightning.
And Qrow jumped to the side and backpedaled to get some distance.
The reaper had an annoyed look on his face.
Damn it, he was going to have to fight Hazel the same way he usually did. Fight at a distance, focus on defense, weave, and counter when he gets close.
It usually worked but if he slipped it would cost him, not to mention if he wanted information he'll need to hold off on that for now.
If only he had kept him from getting those weird Dust crystals then he'd be unconscious and restrained by now.
Hazel grunted knowing what he was doing and waved his hands firing fire shots at him.
Which Qrow would avoid easily enough, he aimed his scythe forward firing shots at him, each bullet made from fire Dust and enhanced with his Aura.
And as predicted Hazel had to resort to blocking these shots, lacking in speed compared to the reaper, his extra Aura shielded his body from damage. Once the shots stopped there was a thick cloud of smoke. Hazel slowly put his hands down and sees a scythe going for his shoulder.
Hazel raised his arm to catch Harbinger by the staff in one hand.
Qrow was seen holding his weapon standing in front of Hazel and glared up at him.
Grunting the brute threw a vicious backhand.
Right away the reaper let go of Harbinger and ducked underneath the strike.
He then swept Hazel's taking him off his feet and falling on his back. He was forced to let go of Qrow's weapon and it spun upward.
Qrow then jumped and rose his hand to catch Harbinger and swung downward.
Caught off guard the strike lands on Hazel's shoulder and the blade buried itself into his shoulder.
With a growl, the brute threw a punch.
But Qrow pulled out Harbinger and stomped into his face and flipped over avoiding the attack and landing a few feet away from him.
Hazel rolled onto his knees and glared at Qrow. He thought the extra Aura would be enough. But clearly not only did his Aura increase but also his skill. This means whatever Ozpin has done must be some form of training that Salem is not aware of.
Ozpin's subordinate took a defensive stance, clearly waiting for him to strike. Long range or close range he will just avoid it as usual.
It can't be helped he'll need to use his extra abilities. Which speeds up the Soul Dust's negative effects. With a sigh, he thought of the Soul Dust he just acquired. They were labeled and he remembered fighting the criminals he had slain.
Qrow seeing that Hazel was taking his time took the offensive and aimed his scythe firing multiple shots as he did last time.
Hazel opened his eyes, his Aura changed to blue as one of his closed fists, strangely bright circles formed around his fists. With a yell, Hazel swung his fist, blue cracks were released from his hand and grew into a wide across him.
The reaper's eyes widened as the cracks Hazel had unleashed made his Dust rounds explode before they could reach their target.
Taking advantage of the confusion, the brute then threw his other arm forward releasing another shockwave that took the form of blue cracks that was too wide for most to dodge.
As he was propelled in the air he pressed a button on his scythe turning Harbinger back into a sword and stabbed into the ground to slow himself down. He grunted and wondered what that was, just then he looked up to see his opponent already in front of him.
Hazel uppercut Qrow, sending him up again.
And Hazel grabbed his face and slammed him into the ground, his new semblance showed again as Hazel began to power up another shockwave this time at close range.
But before that could happen Qrow kicked up the brute's arm holding him down forcing the shockwave to miss and crush a boulder behind him. He then kicked off the ground and backed away from the enhanced Hazel.
Qrow groaned as he felt the back of his head and looked at the man. "What was that? That wasn't normal."
Hazel brought up a hand showing another air bubble containing another shockwave. "As I've said, whatever Ozpin has done, it will not stop what Salem has provided." He trusted his hand forward releasing another burst of air.
Vale
Kron with a blank look on his face as he walked toward the home that Garnet had given him. He turned to Blake who had been following him, she was still there. He was hoping she had run off at this point.
Oh well.
"This is your place?" Blake asked looking at the decent-sized apartment. It wasn't the biggest but it was definitely above average. "How did you afford this?"
The Saiyan opened the door. "I was doing some work for someone, they gave me this so I had a place to stay in the city." He turned around to see her with her arms crossed and glaring.
"What kind of work?"
Kron though felt guilt at the sight of her, still couldn't help but find her annoying. Some things never change, she always judged how he should use his power.
"Nothing so bad." He said as he walked into his safehouse, he looked at her not moving and glaring. Meaning she was demanding he answers her. "Ugh, just get in, I'll tell you in a bit, I'm sure you have other questions to ask right?"
Blake sighed as she followed him inside. Some things never change, he was still an insensitive jerk.
Kron went ahead and sat on a couch and waved his hand gesturing to the other couch in front of him.
The Cat Faunus looked around the apartment and sat across from the young man.
With a sigh, he looked at the Faunus who seemed very timid, which his Saiyan instincts found weak. But he shook them off and waited for her to start.
"Kron, I need to ask." Blake hesitated wondering what answer she will receive. "Are you still with Raven?"
The Saiyan had remembered how Ghira kept asking about Raven and he would deny revealing anything. For some reason at the time he wouldn't share what he knew, in that case, it was her semblance. Her father promised to help him however he could if he would at least tell him how she was able to hide from authorities for so long. And of course, he would refuse and remain imprisoned.
How he wished he would've told him. Perhaps things would've been different.
"No I'm not, in fact, I would rather die than be on her side."
Blake looked at his face scanning for any tells or lies and sees nothing. Either he's that good at lying or he's telling the truth. If he is that makes things easier for her.
"Kron that night." The Cat Faunus began to get nervous. "What happened that night? Why did you do what you did? Why did you hurt my father, Adam, and maimed Sienna?" She listed his sins which the Saiyan showed no physical reaction to. "After my mother did for you, why did you do all that?"
An angry tone came from her words like she wanted to attack him.
Which Kron would normally enjoy when hearing that from potential opponents. But in this case, it pained him to remember the choices he made that night.
Kron kept a blank face as he was genuinely confused. "You should know what happened, your father had to have told you." He wouldn't keep what happened a secret. It wouldn't make sense to.
Blake nodded.
"He did, and I want to hear it from you." She responded. "I want your side of the story."
He would've asked why but he wanted this over. Wanted her to leave so he could continue his business. But again he couldn't bring himself to do it, not to her.
"You may not believe all that you hear."
Blake's bow twitched, if he thinks that then that's a good sign.
"Try me."
"Tch" He closed his eyes and thought about the answer. He knew what to say he just wasn't sure how she would react. Blake always ran and hid behind Kali whenever he said something she didn't like. To get her to pull his ear over 'misbehaving' or whatever.
Will she run? Or will she fight?
Who knows, better just answer.
"Fine" Kron conceded. "The reason I did what I did, was because I thought your mother was trying to get me to lower my guard, to make me easy to capture.
This was the first time Kron was talking about a part of his life that he wasn't proud of.
Far Away
Qrow was on one knee panting heavily covered in bruises with blood leaking down his head.
Hazel stood across from him covered in lightning and fire Dust.
The reaper stood up and held Harbinger up in its longsword form.
Hazel rose his arm as another air bubble came around his fist.
"Tch" Qrow knowing what was coming shifted into an actual crow and he flew up as it was his only chance to get away and regroup.
The brute tossed his Tremor wave forward. Such an attack was so wide that the reaper barely avoided it in his bird form.
And he barely did as he flew up, he couldn't even counterattack like he used to, this new ability, no this new Semblance ruined any strategy he had to fight Hazel, especially since whatever he did make them equals now. Physically at least.
He'll need to remain in bird form and wait for another opening, likely even that semblance as a limit of reach, only thing is it seemed to serve both defense and offense. So he'll have to figure out a new way to fight him.
Not alarmed by his mistake, the brute then closed his eyes, and they glowed purple. He squatted down and jumped upward. And despite his hulking size was able to jump the equivalent of a five-story building.
In an instant, he was already above where Qrow was flowing.
Qrow immediately shifted back into human form and stared at the behemoth that had somehow jumped way higher than he should have.
Hazel roared as he smashed his arms down.
The reaper rose his blade and blocked the strike with the flat of the blade.
The strike connected and forced the huntsman downward again.
He couldn't help but think how he jumped all the way up here so quickly, Hazel can't jump that high.
Suddenly Hazel glowed purple and the man started plummeting down where Qrow is with his fist forward at a fast rate.
Qrow sees this and tried to shift back to his bird form.
But then he stopped and another vision came to his mind. At the worse time!
He sees his younger self, raising his sword over a young child as his father ordered him.
And he came back to reality as he felt a huge pressure into his gut, he looked down.
The brute's fist was in his abdomen, he also glowed purple as the two fell back to the ground even faster.
Both fell to the ground like it was two trucks that landed on the ground instead of two humans.
The smoke cleared and Hazel kneeled over Qrow with his fist still in the stomach of his opponent.
Qrow coughed up some spit as well as blood fell down his mouth. He looked up at the brute, he turned to see Harbinger next to his hand, he reached for it.
Only for the brute to slap the scythe far away with his other hand, now it was away and out of reach.
"Damn Hazel" He chuckled and looked up at the monster holding him down. "Don't wanna throw me a bone? Come on."
Hazel rose his other fist ready to throw Dust enhanced fist into Qrow's face.
Qrow couldn't help but think, that damn vision! It came at the worse time!
The goliath threw a fire Dust-enhanced fist into the huntsman's face, he pulled it back and repeated the action using his other hand to keep the lanky huntsman on the ground.
Burns and bruises came all over his face as the brute's fist hit him over and over again.
Here he was helpless, on the ground, and about to be punching his face in over and over.
There's no doubt about it, those shockwaves he sent, that purple glow that somehow let him jump high and fall harder. They were extra semblances, somehow Salem has created Dust that stores multiple semblances.
The brute stopped and stared down looking at the blood all over Qrow's face. It was impressive that his Aura hasn't shattered yet, he truly improved, but whatever he's done cannot compare to what Salem had provided.
Hazel's Semblances
Original Semblance Numbing Agent: He's able to block out any amount of physical pain. Has a limiter and can be overloaded with constant attacks.
Added Semblance Tremor: Able to send shockwaves in the form of what looks like broken glass in the air, the bigger the shockwaves the more stamina drains the user.
Added Semblance Weight Shift: Able to make the user light or heavy depending on the amount of Aura used. Also able to make anyone or anything the user touches as heavy or light as the user.
Hazel lifted up Qrow who was panting heavily. "You have proven too dangerous I'm sorry, but I cannot take you alive."
Qrow looked down Hazel panting and began chuckling.
The brute had no expression it was over, he may have Aura but his semblances have overwhelmed him, he cannot win.
"Good job Hazel, ya got me." He smiled. "With a handicap."
Hazel looked strangely at him, handicap, what handicap?
Qrow smiled. "What haven't you noticed? Nothing strange been happening this whole fight?" He asked and chuckled. "Nothing unfortunate?" Red sparks appeared all over him showing his Aura was being pushed and activating.
The brute was confused until he heard that and immediately threw another punch.
Just then the rock over the two broke and landed on top of his head, it didn't hurt but it was enough to distract him.
Qrow took advantage of this and kicked on top of a Fire Dust crystal embedded in Hazel's arm.
It was enough to force the crystal further into his arm and make him let the reaper go.
Hazel growled at Qrow who escaped his grip.
Qrow looked at him covered in blood and started walking to his scythe.
The brute pulled back an arm ready to use Tremor again, an air bubble appeared around his fist and he was about to swing.
Just then the Lightning Dust crystal stabbed into his arm that Qrow had kicked started to glow.
Just as Hazel was about to release a shockwave the crystal exploded, bending his arm and releasing the shockwave, the force sent him rolling, he crashed into a boulder and growled. He looked at his arm where the Lightning Dust exploded, there was a hole with dried blood coming out of his arm. No doubt from the Lightning Dust.
Qrow had picked up Harbinger and turned to Hazel who was on the ground. "See, I've learned how to turn off my semblance finally" He explained. "Wanted to see if I could win against you without it, but those extra semblances make up for it."
Hazel growled as he turned to the boulder he was thrown to, it glowed purple, making it lighter. He lifted the boulder the size of a house and tossed it towards Qrow. It glowed purple again and shifted back into its original weight.
The huntsman cut right through the boulder with no trouble. He sees that Hazel wasn't there anymore. He closed his eyes and focused on his Aura sensing that the Void Vault forced him to learn. He jumped back.
Hazel landed on the ground like a meteor landed on the ground which created a small crater beneath his feet.
He growled as one hand wielded fire, the other had an air bubble, getting ready to use Tremor once again.
Qrow sighed as he got ready to fight defensively again. The cliff above him started to crumble, it seemed to have been conveniently fragile enough to be affected by the landing of Hazel with increased gravity. Some would say it was convenient, others that know the situation would call it unfortunate.
Hazel swung a Tremor wave forward, blue cracks spread towards him still giving Qrow no room to dodge.
But just then large boulders fell from above just in front of Qrow.
The shockwaves shattered the boulders but could not reach the huntsman, and in fact, created a dustcloud giving him a smokescreen.
Hazel growled as a dust cloud surrounded the Goliath. This was ridiculous, Qrow's semblance never did this much!
He glanced around looking for where he'd strike.
Just then he glanced up and noticed something. A crow.
Immediately he swung intending to use Tremor again.
Just as he swung his arm seemed to have been stopped in place, and he heard a stabbing sound.
His eyes turned and he turned to see Qrow's scythe's blade stabbed into his arm. His eyes widened as he sees Qrow standing while holding his scythe. "Kinda overkill for a defenseless bird Hazel."
What were the chances? He glanced up to see what he thought was Qrow using his bird form, to be an actual Crow that just happened to be flying over them. Hazel roared as he turned to use his free arm to throw a Fire Dust-enhanced punch.
And Qrow ducked underneath the strike, pulled out his scythe from Hazel's arm, and swung once upward forcing the brute to back away, and he swung it down again cutting through his clothes and making a bloody X across Hazel's chest.
"Raaah!" With an insane roar Hazel threw his arms down with Tremor air bubbles surrounding them intending on firing a shockwave up close.
Qrow panted showing that he was getting exhausted, but he smirked.
Hazel swung his arms across, blue light cracks of energy were released in front of Hazel. But he looked up.
Qrow had jumped, far away these shockwaves were near impossible to dodge, he'd have to back away from their range. But up close to the source one only needs to avoid the direction their released.
The former bandit stomped on Hazel's face and jumped over the brute. He then swung Harbinger again, and the scythe stabbed into Hazel's knee.
It forced the brute to take a knee and roar. His limiter, he was reaching his limiter.
Qrow then stood up with Harbinger up, it was over he'll end it here! He began to swing.
Just then he stopped. Damn it, another one! He stopped as the scythe was about to reach Hazel's chest.
Hazel looked down at the blade and turned to see his opponent was in some kind of trance.
He wondered if this was some kind of trick. No, there's no need for it.
Slowly the brute got up and turned to Qrow.
This was it, he won't get another chance like this! He needed to end the fight now!
Hazel swung a fist aiming to end the life of the legendary Qrow Branwen.
But he stopped. Just then he felt strange, his eyes started glowing light blue, and then purple, and then they changed back to normal. The side effects! The other soulds they were taking control. Why? Why now?!
Just then he looked at Qrow and realized. His semblance really had gotten more powerful. After all what were the chances the side effects would kick in now?
"Well played... Qrow." He fell and landed on his rear. He started twitching his eyes changed to purple.
"W-where am I?!" He yelled and looked around and noticed Qrow. "Hey who-"
His eyes changed to light blue.
The brute looked around angrily. "W-what happened where's my airship, where's my cre-"
Back to Hazel who panted fighting for control. "F-forgive me G-Gretchen" His eyes changed again.
Qrow meanwhile seemed to be living in his own little world.
Decades Ago
Qrow was relieved when he was twelve years old, he stood over a hill overlooking a waterfall.
And in front of him was a twelve-year-old Raven standing in front of him.
"Why did you want to bring me here Raven? Father's going to be upset if we're not home soon."
"Qrow" Raven began and looked away as if she was going over in her head what she was going to say. "Father's away from the tribe right now he doesn't know we're not home yet."
Qrow remembered this, this was the first time she began something that would later become her biggest problem.
"Let's run away!" Raven yelled.
"Run away?" Qrow asked. "What are you saying, Raven? You want to leave Father and the tribe?"
"Yes! I, I hate it, I hate the tribe, I hate how Father treats us!" Raven yelled thinking of all the training Corvus beat into them. "We need to leave! This is our best chance to get away while he's gone! Come on! Let's go!" She yelled pointing towards the horizon.
Yes. This was the first time Raven tried to run away from something. Run away from Father and the Branwen Tribe. Perhaps this was one thing she should have run away. He tried to talk, to agree with her, to just run from the damn tribe. And run away from their wretched father.
But to his regret that wasn't what happened.
"We can't."
"Qrow?" Raven looked at her brother. "Please, we need to. I know your father's favorite but I know you don't want to stay! The things he has us do, the way he beats us if even the smallest things go wrong."
Qrow shook his head.
"We can't just run away, if we do, he'll look for us." Qrow said. "He'll burn down every village just to find us, who would want us?"
The girl closed her mouth upon hearing that and turned away.
"It's too late for us, the Branwen Tribe is our home, we killed so many, if we go to the four kingdoms will be in prison, and if Father finds us he'll do way worse than any beating he's ever given us." Qrow said.
"You just want to stay because Father likes you, he keeps going on about how you'll take over the tribe one day." Raven crossed her arms and turned away from him. "If you want to stay fine, I'm leaving though."
"I want us to stay because I'm scared of what he'll want to do to you."
Raven's eyes widened and she turned to her brother. She really thought that she was going to run away from her father with her brother. She was really disappointed that day. This was where he believed that she was convinced the only place she belonged was in the Branwen Tribe.
The girl took a step forward but shook her head and turned to her brother.
The young Qrow nodded and the twins returned back to the tribe.
Qrow today believes that this was the one time she should have run away, the time they should've run away instead of going back.
To their 'people'.
To their father.
Present Day
Qrow awoke and gripped his head. He panted heavily and growled, he looked around wondering why Hazel didn't interrupt that. But he sees Hazel lying down on the ground.
"Ughhh" Hazel groaned, his eyes glowing different colors.
The reaper sighed, so whatever he took had negative effects. That was good, the only bad news is what can he tell them when he's like this.
The brute was drooling, clearly a vegetable.
Whatever the case they needed to find out what he took that gave him multiple semblances and find out how to stop them from making more.
With a sigh the former bandit took out some Aura Restraining Cuffs, he doubt they would stop against someone like Hazel with these enhancements but it was better than just carrying his body.
As he restrained him he thought of that last vision he saw.
He always criticizes Raven for running away from the fight against Salem, for running away from Tai, for running away from Yang when it was made clear that she will not be raised in the tribe.
But now looking back at the first time she wanted to run away.
He should have ran with her.
Qrow sighed as he lifted the brute using his Aura to make it easy.
"This time when I make you stop running, I'll make sure neither of us regrets it, Raven." He said to himself as he ran while carrying the heavy and restrained Hazel hoping to catch up to Taiyang somehow.
"After thinking of all that I confronted Raven about it, during our last fight she had admitted that it was true when she thought she had the upper hand." When his arms were trapped in ice. "That confirmed all the suspicions I had."
Kron finished talking and stared at Blake waiting for her response.
Blake heard the finished explanation and thought of the story she was told. It all matches, it all makes sense. While she was still angry at him she started to see that Sienna may have been right that it wasn't fair to completely blame him for everything that happened that night. She wanted to tell him that she was told all of this and that she can understand what happened.
But there was one thing that irked her, that she needed to know even more.
"You know Kron, that night you broke out of prison." Blake began. "My mom, she was going to see you."
The Saiyan's eyes widened again upon hearing that. "What?" He had no idea that very night she was going to see him at all.
"Yes," The Cat Faunus explained. "From the night my father's men captured you, my mother begged, no" She shook her head and corrected herself. "demanded that she could see you, my father would keep turning her down, told her that you were dangerous, the crimes you committed with the Branwen Tribe, that you learned from Raven and you were manipulating her." She explained seeing Kron's expression seem to falter. "But that didn't stop her, day after day she would argue with my dad that she should see you, she thought you were being used by Raven and wanted to help you, no matter what horrible things he said you did."
This made Kron look down again and shook his head. That same night when he had thought she had tricked him. She was going to see him, going to help him. Just how much did he screw up that night? She wanted to help him even after finding out about his life in the Branwen Tribe. More guilt weighed down on him hearing that.
"So Kron" Blake continued and sees the boy look her in the. "Why?" She grits her teeth holding back her anger. "Why didn't you trust my mother after she did everything she did for you?"
Kron heard that and looked down again. If only he did, perhaps things would've been different. He knew he didn't and even now the logic still felt sound to him, even though he wasn't a brat anymore.
He looked at Blake's scowl and imagined Kali glaring at him. Wasn't hard given how alike they looked and it seemed to have stung even more.
How? How do people who he remembered being so weak, affect him this way?
Kron looked her in the eye and answered honestly. "Because it would have made sense."
Blake looked angry hearing that. "Made sense? What do you mean it would have made sense? Didn't my mom treat you right, didn't she tell you not to train while injured?" She bared her teeth like a panther threatening to bite his head off. "How would it have made sense for her to try to trick you when she wanted you to get better? Wouldn't it have made more sense to let you train and make your injuries worse? Why would you think that when she did so much to help you!"
The Saiyan growled as these conflicting emotions filled his mind and began. More shame filled him hearing these questions. She was right, those times Kali had interrupted his training while he was supposed to be resting. She always pulled his ear and force him into bed. It was embarrassing remembering, but also it felt strangely good.
"Because your mother had no reason to help me." He said as he stood up.
Blake gripped her blade again, her fear of him was coming out again.
Kron sees this and walks away to look out the window. "Your mother, she had no idea the kind of strength I had, she didn't seem to know what she could have gained if she knew the power I wield." It was how his time with Raven worked, she had acknowledged him for his power. It made sense she would train him, teach him to read, and make sure to help him. All so she can use his power, it made sense, she would fight for him and she would train him and give him a life of battles. "In your mother's eyes, I was just a brat that needed help."
Blake looked at his back and doesn't see any more aggression. She slowly let go of her blade seeing him being vulnerable and wanting to focus on his explanation.
"And I couldn't see what she gained from it. It's how wea-" He stopped himself not being able to bring himself to call Kali that. "how people who can't fight are, they help the strong so they can gain favor from them. Yet your mother only wanted to help me for reasons I couldn't understand." He remembered how she explained that she couldn't bring herself to ignore him while he was in need. At the time he took that as pity, only for her to explain compassion.
"And so when I was locked up, I thought that I figured it out what Kali had gained. I thought that all along she wanted to have me locked away, to maybe force me to join the White Fang or to help Ghira find and capture Raven." Kron turned around to see Blake who had a blank look without her hand on her weapon. "It made more sense to me than helping some brat without anything to gain. I didn't understand why she would do that, why anyone would do that, and I still don't understand it. Why waste time helping some brat when it isn't hers, or her problem?"
He looked at Blake who seemed to have a different expression he couldn't identify. She frowned but didn't seem angry, her eyes weren't glaring, he remembered that this was the look Kali had given him when she practically forced him to talk about his life before meeting Raven. Though he had lied and made up a story that she would accept as plausible than the truth. And she gave a similar expression to that and wrapped her arms around him.
Perhaps that look was of sadness. He hasn't seen much of that emotion in his life. Though he has experienced it.
Kron made his way back to the empty couch and sat to focus on Blake. "So there you have it, that was why I didn't trust your mother." He explained and sighed.
Blake heard all of Kron's expression and looked at her lap again. She remembered Sienna's story, it lined up perfectly with Kron's. Everything made sense to her, plus why would someone as strong as Kron need to lie to her? Especially when she's alone and practically defenseless. A sigh escaped her lips and she looked at the boy.
Kron was anxious, he wasn't sure how she would respond to his answers. Or if she was done with her questions. And how he would respond if she decided to attack thinking he was lying. He couldn't bring himself to beat down White Fang members, that was what Neo was for, and he wasn't sure what he'd do able to do with Blake. He waited for her next question or her next course of action.
The Cat Faunus sighed as if a burden had left her shoulders. It all tracked. She had other things to ask but she wanted this out of the way.
"Kron" Blake began. "Your story, I heard it before, I wasn't sure but hearing it from you I think I believe it now."
Once the Saiyan heard that he looked astonished.
"How?" Kron asked. "Where did you hear it from?"
Blake looked nervous wondering if she should hide anything but braced herself, she can see that Kron has shown no hostility towards her since their meeting and decided it would be safe to continue.
"Years ago Sienna gathered as much information about you as she could, she wanted to hunt you down" She explained and hesitated before she continued. "Adam and I were training to help her on that." She said looking at him to see no look of surprise this time. "Then she told us about how she had a Branwen Tribe member purposely tell one of my father's men about you being at our home, after that, she put the rest together and realized that my father and you were being turned against each other. Raven knew what my father would do, and what you would do."
Anger flashed at his face but not directed at her, she can tell how he looked away.
"I'm glad to see that Sienna was right." Blake continued. "You and my father really were tricked, I really can't completely blame you for what happened.
Kron looked back at her with a frown and sighed.
"So what happens now?" He asked. "I can't imagine that's the only reason you're here." He eyed the sword behind her back. "Not with that weapon, don't you still want a shot at revenge? I still harmed your father after your mother had helped me, I still chose that." He said in anger but not just at Raven at himself for allowing himself to give into his rage and act out.
"It was a precaution, in case my mother was wrong about you," Blake explained. "She still tried to defend you, you know? Even after everything."
Kron growled and squeezed his fists. "Why? She can't be that naive, not after knowing what I've done to her, you, and what I've done back in the Branwen Tribe." Not to mention the kills he got after. "She shouldn't want anything to do with me."
Blake shook her head.
"Honestly, I thought so too." The Cat Faunus replied. "But after talking to you, I think I understand, she always thought there was more to you than the monster you used to be. Especially after getting to know you and imagine how she was when she found out Raven orchestrated everything."
The Saiyan heard that and couldn't help but scoff lightly.
"She's too soft."
Blake glared at him for that. "That's what you have to say about her? Even now you're insulting her?"
"It's not an insult, it's true," Kron responded and sees her glare get more vicious. "Come on Blake, do you have any idea what I almost did that night, what I did to Sienna? You can't tell me that your mother is not too forgiving of someone like me. She should have wished for my death the moment she knew who I was."
She looked down thinking of how her mother was, at first she was quietly angry at her father for what happened. Doing her best to accept what happened. And whenever Blake spoke ill of you, her mother would try to explain that Kron was confused and didn't know how to respond after being locked away suddenly. Actually, even her father would try to have her member that what happened was a result of his actions, that he panicked in fear of what the boy would do to his family, and that he should have responded more peacefully rather than lock him in a cage and interrogate him. Or at the very least allowed Kali to see him.
"The thing is Kron" Blake began to feel more safe around him that he wouldn't attack him. "I feel the same way you do."
The Saiyan didn't look surprised, that made sense, unlike what she said of Kali.
"I think my mom is too hung up that you were a kid at the time, you still hurt my dad, Adam, and maimed Sienna after my mom tried so hard to help you." She listed but she sighed. "But I do realize that it's not fair to blame you for everything."
Kron's expression started to soften but immediately went back to a blank face, his Saiyan mindset though affected by Kali still kept him able to hide any emotions better than the species of either Faunus or Saiyans.
"I want to forgive you, Kron, I do, especially knowing everything," Blake said honestly. "But I can't at least not yet, but thank you for telling me everything, I know you were being honest."
The Saiyan was finally starting to feel at ease talking to her. Hearing all of this, talking to her, at first was uncomfortable. But it's been a mass of guilt and peace at once.
"I'm glad you believe me Blake" Kron began and stared at her. "And you shouldn't forgive me, but I will say." He breathed in and out. He still wasn't used to this. "I, am sorry for everything Blake, I hope you pass that on to your parents. And don't worry I will stay away from your family for the rest of my days."
Blake's mouth was agape and then she shook her head.
"That's not what my mother wants, she still would like to see you, she was always worried about you."
Kron looked at Blake and shook her head. "She shouldn't I'm the strongest in the world. Nothing will take me down."
Blake looked at him and scoffed. But then for the first time since their reunion. Funny, part of her actually missed whenever he would brag about himself.
What she might find hilarious is that Kron's claim can actually be true.
The Cat Faunus frowned again and looked at Kron. "That's not what she meant, she wants to see you."
Kron looked down and sighed. "I won't, she doesn't need to, ever again."
Blake squeezed her fists and sighed.
"Fine, we can talk about that later." She responded. "I have other questions."
Kron growled but nodded willing to hear her talk.
RING!
Just then his scroll rang, indicating a text message was sent to him he looked down at his pocket. And back at Blake.
Blake rose a hand gesturing him to take a look.
Kron pulled out his scroll and looked at the message.
His eyes widened at the sight.
The message was from Junior.
It was a picture of the girl he needed for Raven, with two others. One of them was in red, the other strangely looked like Winter Schnee. Not that it mattered, he only needed Yang.
The three were walking the streets of Vale. Yang seemed to look annoyed, but he didn't care, he only needed to get to her now.
"What is it?" Blake asked looking at his face.
Kron put his scroll in his pocket and stood.
"Kron?"
The Saiyan glanced at Blake, he said nothing but he was thinking of what to say, he decided that she had a right to know.
"Listen, Blake, I got to go." He started. "Either wait here or find me some other time, once I'm done I should have some free time."
Blake had the thought of just letting him go alone, but no, she needed to see what he's been doing. She dobuts he's been murdering like he used to, Sienna confirmed that he's stopped killing for eight years.
"Take me with you."
Kron turned to the girl. "No, It's personal."
"I'm not just letting you go and waiting for you," Blake stated and crossed her arms. "I want to see what 'work' you doing now." She demanded. "I want to know what you're doing."
Kron groaned but sighed.
"Fine, I'll be getting changed," Kron said as he walked into his room. "And I'll explain when we're there, got it?"
He would have liked an audience but having Blake watch his vengeance, their vengeance, it seemed to have made up for it.
Blake for some reason had a bad feeling but she remembered how he made himself vulnerable. Surely he won't be doing anything else to make her regret giving him a chance to talk.
He wouldn't.
Right?
Vale Downtown
Yang sighed as she was walking around with ice cream in her hand. She glanced at her sister who was arguing with the Ice Queen about how they wanted to spend the rest of the day.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled.
"Hey, Weiss Cream! You really need to cool it." She said holding up her ice cream. "You need some of mine?"
Weiss's eye twitched at the sight of her and groaned.
Ruby on the other hand just smiled. "Yay! Yang's telling terrible puns now!" She yelled. "Finally, you don't feel like you when you're not telling your dumb puns, Yang!"
Normally the blonde would try to defend her genius comedy but feeling good for once since she met that guy, her sister and even Weiss were trying to cheer her up, even though she hasn't told them what's been bothering her.
Maybe she can start taking it easy. It was a lesson she thought she learned the last time she haste on her journey to find her mother. Besides Kron said he'd be in Vale a while there's no need to rush her training, she'll take her time and do it right this time.
She'll make sure she'll have all the time she needs before confronting him again.
"Hi, again." A man's voice spoke.
Yang heard that voice and turned to the source of that voice. She ended up dropping her ice cream and didn't care. She only heard that voice.
Wiess turned to the source too and her eyes widened. She glared and put a hand on her sword ready to fight.
Ruby looked surprised, she took out a crescent rose in its compact form.
Floating there above the trio was Kron, dressed in his black tight top, black cloak, white belt, black pants, and boots. With a brown monkey tail swaying from side to side.
And most notably, his Berringel Mask which was repaired, as his gift from Garnet.
The three stopped when they saw something else, the Scourge was holding someone.
Yang didn't recognize him at first, but the height, the voice. It was definitely him, no doubt.
"Hey put me down already!" Blake yelled as Kron was carrying her like a sack of potatoes.
"Tch" Kron placed the girl down and had her stand next to him.
She glared at him angry at the manner she was held.
"What?" Kron asked. "You said you wanted to come, I took you here, what's your problem?"
Blake rolled her eyes infuriated at him for his actions, she then looked at who he landed in front of. Her eyes widened at the sight.
Oh no. She didn't think of this.
"So, here's the thing." He pointed at Yang ignoring their expressions. "The blonde one, Yang, she's the one I need, that's Raven's daughter."
The Cat Faunus's eyes widened and looked at Kron. "Kron, your not serious."
"Blake?" Yang asked the girl's name.
That made Kron's eyes widen behind his mask. Did she just say Blake's name?
Raven's daughter knows Blake?
"Wait a minute." The girl in white interrupted looked at Kron, and back at Blake. "Do you know him?!" She sounded so angry to say that.
"Who is this guy?" The one in the red hood asked.
Kron was frozen, he came here to get his revenge. He only brought Blake because she demanded it and thought she had to right to witness his revenge. Yang she knows Blake.
And wait.
There are three of them not including Blake.
Huntsman teams and Beacon teams are made up of four.
No. What are the chances?
Blake shook her head, she should have asked about Yang first. She looked at her team and back at the Scourge of Anima.
"Kron, listen" She began. "This, is my team, Team RWBY." She explained. "And Yang" She gestured to Raven's daughter. "Yang's my partner."
Kron once again was stunned silent.
After a few seconds, he shook his head.
"What?" He asked. "Your kidding."
Blake shook her head and looked at Yang who seemed too stunned to say anything along with the rest of her team. Though Weiss seemed to be fighting the urge to attack.
While she was trying to think of what to say Kron seemed to have realized something and looked over at Yang. "You!" He yelled feeling angry. "Raven's brat! You, you teamed up with her just because you think it'll stop me from getting to your mother! Didn't you!"
Yang's eyes widened and shook her head. She was going from angry to confused real quick. "What? What are you talking about? I never met my mother, you were the one who said that you can bring my mother here whenever you wanted!"
Ruby seems to have realized something and looked at the Scourge of Anima. He must've been the reason Yang was acting so strange! She got herself ready in case he acted aggressively, but she didn't know what to say or what to do right now.
"Kron!" Blake shouted and put a hand on her blade.
Kron eyed Blake and back at Yang but turned to the disguised Cat Faunus.
"Listen, whatever your doing. Stop, please." Blake practically begged. "I- I didn't know your lead to Raven involved Yang, please stop."
"Blake!" Yang turned to her partner and back to Kron. "How do you know this guy? And why was he carrying you?!"
"I" The Cat Faunus was flabbergasted by all of this. She wanted to see what he was up to, he didn't think it involved her partner. He thought they had a fight and it was the end of it! She had no way of knowing that she was Raven's daughter nor that she was going to use her to get to Raven. She did hate Raven after what happened, but she didn't want to involve Yang. Nor did she want Yang and Ruby to lose their mother! "It's a long story, I didn't even know he was the guy you met, I just found out today." She spoke honestly.
Yang without anything else to say turned to Kron with her fists up. "Hey whatever your here for, your here for me right? Leave the others out of this!"
Kron growled staring at Yang and squeezing his fists. "If that's how you feel, then you shouldn't have tried teaming up with her!" She pointed to Blake. The Saiyan stared at Blake and tried to explain. "Listen, Blake, she's using you, I didn't think she was, I wouldn't have brought you if I did! Leave here now!"
Blake put a hand on her sword and looked at her team.
"Girls!" Weiss shouted and glared at Kron. "This is the Scourge of Anima! He's a member of the White Fang and he's attacked Atlas!" She pulled out her sword and pointed at him. "We should take him down! Now!"
Ruby immediately pressed a switch and her compact weapon turned into a huge crimson scythe that looked too big for Ruby to use. "Hey, you! Scourge of Anima or Kron or whatever your name is!"
Kron scoffed looking at the little girl. He didn't know who this was nor did she care.
"I don't know what's going on but you're after Yang, right? You mess with Team RWBY you mess with all of us!" She shouted as she looked at her teammates. Yang nodded though she frowned, she didn't want to involve her sister but it looks like she didn't have a choice. Even Weiss nodded, only because she was eager to get revenge for what happened to her sister.
"Kron!" Blake yelled getting the Scourge's attention. "Please, listen, don't do this, let's talk again, please."
Kron eyed her, he didn't think of this. He didn't think Raven's daughter would use her against him. He looked over at Yang and glared behind his mask. He thought she wasn't her mother. He thought she was a true warrior and that she was more Saiyan than her mother! But no, she's just like her! She uses whatever she can to win, instead of a real fight!
He looked back at Blake.
"I'm sorry Blake, there's only one way to stop me," Kron said and looked at Yang. "I'm not letting my chance to get to Raven slip away, you should leave Blake, now."
Blake looked at him and shook her head. This wasn't supposed to happen. She didn't think Yang was related to Raven. And now she might as well have put her in danger. She grabbed her weapon from her back one hand was a black sword with a ribbon attached to the other similar to her teacher, Adam, her sheath.
Kron sees this and growled while glaring at Raven's daughter. She tricked him just like her mother and now when he thought maybe he can move on from the Belladonnas this happened. "Fine, but none of you will stop me, not you Blake, and not any of you."
Ruby is ready with her scythe. "We're Team RWBY, your not stopping us!"
Wiess aimed her sword at him. "You're going to pay for what you and the White Fang have done!"
Blake glared at Weiss before focusing on Kron taking a stance with her blade in her right and sheath in her left. "If you don't stop your only going to have more regrets, Kron!"
Yang brought her fists up, her Ember Cilica ready. "This time I'm not only getting my answers, I'll take you down for involving my team!"
Kron growled, looked at Blake, and then focused on Yang more than anyone else.
His revenge is right here. No need to wait, he gains nothing from it.
And she's proven that she's just like her mother. By involving someone he somehow had attachments to.
But how would she know? It's been proven that Raven and Yang never met.
He shook his head. No, it's a trick he's sure it is! He wanted his revenge, he needed it.
Kron took a fighting stance his left arm raised in a block, and his right arm held up with a hand facing forward.
"Fight me, with everything you've got."
He'll make sure Blake's wrong about this. He will not regret this.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Do you guys notice one problem Kron has?
He always makes assumptions.
He assumed Kali tricked him into getting captured. Yes, Raven did plan for him to lose control and go crazy on the White Fang. But he was the one who made the assumption because he couldn't wrap his head around why she did what she did which lead him to do what he did.
Then he assumed Qrow tried to trick him and used his semblance to try to sneak attack him. He was right that his semblance did activate but he didn't know it was always active and Qrow doesn't have a choice. Well until now that is but that was after the Void Vault.
And now he thinks Yang teamed up with Blake to use her to throw him off. It's a shame to, he kind of enjoyed Yang, hopefully he'll find out it wasn't before he does something else he regrets.
Ya kron believes everyone is out to get him in someway it stems from when Raven tried to kill him the first time for following the Branwen philosophy. It kinda damaged him and made him have major trust issues to the point where he will make assumptions that can sometimes be ridiculous.
He says he won't regret doing what he has to do here, let's hope he's right.
Anyway Kron has met Team RWBY finally. Now let's see how this guys. U think he'll finally force Raven to fight him? Or will Blake talk him down? You;ll have to find out next chapter!
Btw about Hazel's extra semblances, Tremor is based on Whitebeard's devil fruit power, I read in a fanfic where someone replaced Hazel's semblance with Whitebeards power and I thought huh, I kinda want to do that so there we are.
Also Weight Shift, it makes Hazel as lighter or heavy depending on how much Aura he uses. That way he can be either faster or add weight to his attacks from above.
And now sadly he may have the same fate as Slate poor bastard. We'll see.
Now for Qrow, he's gotten better control on his semblance and his misforutne is much stronger to, hope u guys liked watching him in action. That fight was fun to fight which I know wasn't most of your guys's priority which is fine, I get why most would be hyped for Kron's reunion with Blake, i was to.
Btw how was it? Did I do it right? Is there anything you wish someone could've shed light on? I've been looking forward to writing their reunion for awhile, hope u enjoyed it as much as i enjoyed writing it.
Now, let's hope he doesn't do anything too bad for Team RWBY while he's assuming Yang is using Blake to get to him.
Oh Kron u and your assumptions. Remember what they say about assumptions kids. It makes an ass out of you and me.
Review Responces.
Guest: I do agree that Cumber looks cool, but no, RWBY and Dragon Ball are on different scales, the only reason Kron can get harm on Remnant is because he was born in the working class, lower power levels than low-class warriors. So he's not a mutant like Cumber or Broly, that being said he will have transformations but we are far, FAR from him needing one. Especially ones as broken as Cumber.
Shrine: Lol, it's hilarious considering the reason he came to Remnant was to wipe out all mankind when he was strong enough. As for Qrow proving to Kron he had bad luck, that would be pretty funny, especially since Qrow's semblance has gotten more powerful. And it would prove that Kron has a bad habit of assuming the worse in everybody.
I headcanon a good amount of the series, it's not perfect, can't even headcanon all of it and sucks that i have to but there's nothing else we can do except hope Ice Queendom reboots it all better.
I hate to say it but I kinda agree with how u feel about how roosterteeth treats Jaune and Male characters as well as bumblebee. I hope to not have u or anyone else feel that way with my story.
Don't worry about it, your free to vent. Just hope u can enjoy the story while u do.
ThatSaiyaGuy: Glad u like Eclipse so far. And good job for noticing, that's one of Eclipse's weaknesses, he doesn't care for personal safety when he fights which can be costly. Know what the scary thing is though? If Eclipse survives he'll have time to grow up, imagine how he'll be by then if he grows up as fast as say Piccolo.
It's pretty similar to Kron's own weakness that he has very little defense so if Eclipse can discover that he can also take advantage of that. Kron can tolerate Neo so long as she's useful and doesn't backstab him. Though since he does like to talk he finds her a bit annoying. Lol.
Interesting idea with the technique, well like u said it is what it is, besides who knows maybe you can try to have her 'talk' in yout next story.
Thank u for addressing all the issues of the previous chapter, I'll try to be more careful from here on out.
Well Cinder will have to torture Adam for that info, we'll see how long it'll take for her to learn about Kali. Adam does want to take Kron out on his own rather than resorting to a hostage, lucky for Kron.
And the Fall might not even happen. Kron has already made Vol 5-9 impossible now. Winter's the Maiden early so Ironwood might be able to get Atlas to float, cause she needed time before switching sides, Raven's become the strongest Maiden and regrets her choices more than ever so she may not help Cinder and put Yang in danger in this timeline, Sienna's gotten stronger and tipped off, so Adam will have a tougher time taking over the White Fang. And other changes I haven't listed yet.
So who knows Kron may or may have already changed the other Volumes by now, he keeps changing the script from doing whatever he wants. Hope u enjoyed the fight and look forward to more!
Qrow's visions are gonna be around for awhile, Ozpin never had anyone use the Void Vault after only trying it on a few people the last time he used it, so he never got to see if anyone can overcome the visions.
If it can make Qrow compete with someone using Soul Dust imagine what it'd do for someone like Cinder, a Maiden or Half Maiden I guess. She might actually be a threat to Kron if she could. But too bad for her, she's got no way of finding out about it or accessing it. But as u said a fun thought.
We'll be seeing Tai's flashbacks at some point I think you'll like it. Glad u liked how Kron and Blake reunited.
Ya, Yang's kinda a mess right now, hard to blame her since she found out not only did Raven leave her, she pretty much raised another kid that wasn't even hers.
As u can see Kron thought of faking it but knew there'd be no point plus he kinda has a sore spot with lying since what Raven did to him.
Glad u feel that way and hope this chapter didn't disappoint.
Lelouch of Zero: Glad you've enjoyed Eclipse so far, when he meets Kron both of them will have a great time. Glad u noticed that parralel, yeah, just because you hate or angry at them doesn't mean what they say is bad advice. Corvus is worse than Weiss's dad? Damn, well that's impressive I guess lol. If Raven had raised Yang it would be a nature vs nurture situation, I think she might be rebellious but a lot like her mother, only she'd live up to it more than she would. Might do a what if for my story where Yang was raised by Raven. Hope it didn't dissapoint! What happened was I saw where I can do a cliffhanger, it had to be done, I just can't resist. Lol! Hope the nettling was worth it! And no problem glad u enjoyed the chapter! :)
SSJGodKenny: It was bound to happen hope it was worth the wait.
Glad your enjoying the story and are continuing to do so in the future. Ya I'm really grateful for all the fanart I've recieved, haven't gotten any potential child fanart but there's a few Yang ships right now, and one Weiss x Kron X Yang right now.
Whatever pairing I decide will be what I think will be the most fun and fitting, hope u can enjoy regaurdless of who it is.
Thank u for letting me know I edited the previous chapter and hope u don't see any mistake like that in this chapter. Sorry u had to read that mistake.
suppes1: Thank u and next chapter u get your wish!
Runeion: Lol, well he's met the whole gang.
: Thank you. At some point we will get to space. Right now he and RWBY characters need time to level up. Right now, everyone, including Kron would be murdered if they try to venture out into space. Well Kron hasn't said that he wasn't a Faunus, just never corrected anyone. At some point he will prove that he is not from Remnant and prove it. Thank u hope u enjoyed this chapter!
epantoja521: Kron is kinda unpredictible, now he's going to fight Team RWBY to get to Raven though we'll see how he is with Blake at their side.
WingNUT48: Lol, no worries I get ya. Well how much do u hate this one? I think I have a problem whenever I see an opportunity to do a cliffhanger I just can't help but put one in. Might be an addiction lol. Anyway I didn't mean to say that it would be a minor part of the chapter just that Hazel vs Qrow would have a good chunk of it.
TheJSmooth: No worries, everyone has their priorities when reading. Well u were wrong, remember Soul Dust especially, Soul Dust that hasn't been ripened have their own side effects, plus the Void Vault can take huntsman to new levels. Hope u enjoyed the interaction!
Alright guys hope you enjoyed Kron's first meeting Team RWBY and look forward to see the next chapter. I think you'll really like it.
Have an awesome day :)
