I promised I'd do it and now I intend to.

Welcom to One's Many Paths!

Here we will explore the many paths the story could have taken if things went differently.

Different routes Kron could've taken if he made different decisions, or if other characters made different decisions, or if things were a bit different from the actual RWBY show will take place in this series of what ifs.

I'm excited to write the OOP multiverse! Hope u r to.

Alright so guys this is a thank you for all who read and supported my story! This is my gift to u!

What if Kron Never Met Kali Part 1

An image appeared up close to a young man with a ponytail, purple skin, and pointy ears.

"This thing on, can you hear me?" He asked the camera. "Oh, there we go, and we live!"

The purple man stepped back and waved.

"Heyo!" He yelled. "Names Fu, Demon Time Traveler scientist extraordinaire! Nice to meet you all!"

The demon bowed like he was a showman and stood up.

"So I've been traveling to various timelines that are more different than what I'm used to and I stumbled onto this one, where a Saiyan that isn't Goku came to a planet called Remnant in an attempt to conquer it only to change after a series of events." He said smiling. "And then I thought wow, this is cool, I wonder what other timelines of this universe are?"

"I just had to see what other paths this universe could have been, and I recorded so many, this one in particular.

Fu held up a scroll.

Titled: What if Kron never met Kali?

"I think it's obvious that Kali had been the catalyst to change Kron the monster, into something a bit different. Now let's find out what if he never met her, would he still have changed? Or was Remnant doomed? Ahahahaha one way to find out!"

Fu walked over to a screen and gestured to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my Time Window, it lets me look through any of the timelines I recorded!" He placed the scroll in the right bottom corner, he then looked at the camera and smiled.

"Show time, let's see how this goes, fingers crossed for Remnant." He pressed a button on the Time Window.

A black screen with the title "What if Kron Never Met Kali came to life.

And showed an image.

Anima Island near Menagerie

Raven had Kron in her arms unconscious, he was covered in his own blood with a broken arm.

A sad look came to her face, she had orchestrated this. She didn't want to but it had to be done. This way he can have a chance to survive.

"I hope you will listen to me when you wake up," Raven said as she turned to the bullhead.

In this reality we all know Raven would take Kron to Menagerie where he would heal and meet Kali. Where he would change from the monster he used to be.

Here, Raven had a different plan.

She pulled out her sword while holding Kron with one arm and slashed a portal.

The woman walked into the portal.

And so Kron will not meet Kali when he was in need, in this reality.

That was the beginning of the end for Remnant.

Kron became conscious but his eyes were closed, he was in a huge amount of pain. He opened his eyes slowly adjusting to the light. When he opens his eyes he sees he's in a bed inside a small room. He looked down to see his arms wrapped in even more bandages as well as his chest. Funny he didn't remember bleeding there. He moved his arms but grunted when he did so, it hurt to simply move them. "Where am I what happened?" He asked shortly he recalled everything last night.

The Alpha Grimm, Team CRRD, and- Raven!

He got up and searched around the room expecting to see her. But then he regretted it when his entire body started cracking. He bent down yelling in pain, his body mainly hurt his chest and arms.

The door opened.

On guard, Kron glared at whoever walked in.

It was a man wearing a white lab coat with turquoise colored hair.

"You're awake excellent." The doctor said as he looked at his chart and back at the Saiyan.

Moving would be useless, he might as well ask since he seemed to be stuck here. "Who are you and where am I?"

"My name is Dr. Turquoise, the best medical doctor you will ever meet, as for where you are, somewhere away from the law I assure you." He said in a way that made it sound like it was rehearsed.

Kron just glared at the doctor and looked at his arm, his new nameless technique had messed up his arm.

"I have looked at your injuries." He said looking over the chart in his hands. "You'll be bedridden for a while, not the worst injuries I worked on but the worst I've seen on a child." He admitted. "You're hardier than most your age, you should be proud."

Of course he is, he's not some fragile earthling. Or Remnantian, or whatever they call themselves. He remembered how the people don't call it Earth.

"Anyway," The doctor started walking away. "You have a visitor, she paid for your treatment."

Kron watched the doctor go and someone else got in the room.

The Saiyan growled at the sight, he tried to get up but cringed.

"Relax" Raven instructed. "I'm not here to fight you." She explained.

Kron didn't say anything he only stared at her and thought hard about the situation. Why had she saved him and brought him here? What could she gain? She doesn't play with her prey.

"Fine, talk."

Raven had explained why she had saved Kron, about how she only forced him out of the tribe and was planning to save him if he couldn't survive on his own.

Once Kron had heard this and asked.

Kron looked up at the woman. "So what happens now?"

Raven fought not to smile, she seemed to have gotten through to him. "First, you will stay and recover until you're on your feet."

The Saiyan growled trying to get up.

She frowned and her eyes glowed with her Maiden abilities.

Kron would love a chance to fight her, but he knew he couldn't take her, especially now. Besides she was trying to get him to heal, it'd be better to rest.

Raven's eyes stopped glowing and continued. "After your recovery, what happens next is up to you." She said truthfully. " But first."

The black-haired woman sat down next to Kron and looked at her.

"I will be staying here to make sure you don't leave Dr. Turqouise's treatment."

Kron growled, it made sense she would do that, he always hated staying in one spot, it actually made the tribe pack up and leave whenever Kron had got bored of an area.

Raven chuckled. "Calm down, we both know you'd try to leave before your treatments are finished, you might die to a common beowolf."

The Saiyan said nothing to that not having anything to say to that.

Raven can see that she got her point across. Once he's recovered, she'll take him to the Golden Daggers Arena and offer Daim to make him a champion once he agrees to go back to the tribe.

Her plan seemed to be working, he seemed to not mind being with her.

Soon she will have the power he has, and together with him, the Branwen Tribe will be the mightiest on Remnant.

At least that was what she thought.

Like in the timeline we all know. Raven had brought Kron to the Golden Knives Arena where he killed every fighter he could.

And just like the original Timeline Kron had thought about Raven's Semblance and put together everything that happened.

And now a similar event to the story we all know is occurring, with slight differences.

Kron was standing before Raven enraged, but also happy to know that she made him stronger. And now it was time to be free of her.

The Saiyan chuckled as he took a fighting stance.

"You almost had me, Raven, your little stunt with the Crown was clever." He grinned.

Raven shook her head and tried to convince him otherwise." Listen to me! I don't know what you're talking about."

Kron laughed. "Oh don't worry I'm not that angry, your little stunt made me stronger, not to mention it was fun fighting my first Alpha." He said smiling.

The bandit leader looked strangely at him. That wasn't the reaction she expected from him. He didn't seem that upset at her, she could sense some anger from him but not as much as she would have thought. It's almost like he cared for power to the point where he didn't care how he got it as long as he had fun.

"Fine, you got me," Raven admitted seeing no reason to hide it. "But if you really aren't that angry with what I did, then why are you doing this? Didn't I help you?"

She did and that was her mistake. Kron was truly grateful for what she did, in this reality he had no reason to be angry. She didn't ruin anything for him, she onl made him stronger. But he was angry that he got played by her, he actually thought she had helped him but she tried to make him her puppet. This pathetic human tried to make him her tool!

"Oh I am grateful for what you've done," Kron smirked. "And now I'm going to show you how grateful I am by giving you a warrior's death!"

The Saiyan charged forward intending to kill his former teacher.

Everything played out as it did in the main timeline, the only real difference was that Kron had been much less angry than he was in the timeline we all know.

It also ended the same way.

Kron had used Ursa Claw to even the playing field.

And have sent her running back to her tribe through her portal.

Kron sat by his campfire and thought of how Raven got away.

That was fine, he'll become much stronger for their rematch. It will make their next clash all the more meaningful, fighting her at full strength with his own matching hers would be way preferable to just killing her even if it was a decent tactic he could.

Now, though, he was free, free of Raven.

And free to prepare for his mission properly.

Nothing can stop him now, not Raven, not anyone.

But he'll need time in case there are others like Raven out there. He was lucky that she insisted on wanting to use his power, if it wasn't for that he'd definitely be dead now.

"Alright, first the Golden Knives Arena." He smirked. "Then, in time I will finally. Ready to follow the path I always wanted to."

An evil smirk decorated his face.

8 Years Later, Golden Knives Arena

Daim had mixed feelings about this, on the one hand, he was going to lose his most promising fighter. On the other, he was going to have a good farewell match for his champion, the Scourge of Anima. He looked out to see his cage arena.

A 17-year-old Kron stood tall, wearing a different outfit than what he would wear in our timeline.

It looked like a replica of his original armor. Green armor with a red abdomen and shoulders, black pants, green gauntlets and red lines, along with boots with the same striped red.

No mask like in the Prime Timeline.

"Attention all, the Scourge of Anima, the Golden Knives Arena champion is retiring!" Many booed hearing that their favorite fighter was leaving.

Kron was flattered hearing that, he smiled almost sad that he was going to leave this behind.

Leave everything behind.

"Now, be ready for his farewell match, a battle against our current champion and all the fighters on my roster!"

All the new fighters he gathered up, Kron always went for the kill in this reality. Without the Belladonna family in his life, he remained the cold-blooded killer he was. He had no reason not to kill.

The arena was filled with fighters all ready to gang up on Kron to claim the title of champion.

"Now let this farewell match begin!"

The fighters surrounded Kron and charged at him.

Kron smirked and with a quick motion, raised his hand in a spear position and pierced one fighter's throat, making him bleed through it. He then kicked another behind him across the head, twisting their head and breaking their neck.

One charged him with a knife.

The Saiyan grabbed another fighter and used him as a shield getting him pierced.

Kron then grabbed the face of the knife wielder and headbutted him making him bleed and lose teeth. He then fired a Ki blast at his face shattering his Aura and breaking his face.

Once all that was done only Kron and one fighter was remaining.

This one fighter shook looking at Kron while the crowd cheered to see him go for his final kill.

The final combatant threw his weapon on the ground and raised his hands.

"I- I give u-"

Kron appeared in front and kicked straight into his neck, piercing his throat and sending him flying.

Once he hit the wall he left a trail of blood and coughed up before dying.

"And that ladies and gentlemen is the final fight of our undefeated champion. Thank you Scourge of Anima! What a glorious end to your career!"

Daim was a bit angry he didn't leave one fighter alive, but he knew better than to complain to Kron, it was literally a death sentence. He waited expecting him to leave.

But Kron had other plans he looked at all the crowd cheering him for all his kills.

It was nice hearing them all cheer for him.

Now it was time, time to start his main performance.

"Thank you all for your attention!" Kron shouted to the crowd. "Now to thank you all I like to give you one last show!"

The crowd cheered looking forward to what their favorite fighter will do next.

But Daim was confused, there was nothing planned. Did Kron do something without him knowing? What could he possibly be doing?

Kron smiled.

"For the final show, I will be involving, the audience." He said to them all.

The crowd was confused when he said that, what could he possibly mean?

Kron raised his hands and formed many energy spheres that floated behind his back.

"Guided Swarm!" Kron fired ten energy shots all around him at random, ten people in the crowd took the attacks and died instantly lacking Aura.

The crowd was confused and terrified.

Daim had a look of horror on his face.

"My time with you is over, now, prepare for the end, you weaklings!" Kron yelled laughing going into the crowd firing energy shots and attacking random people while the audience ran away.

In the Golden Knives Arena, many screamed and ran for their lives as the psychotic Saiyan laughed murdering everyone in sight.

Kron appeared out of the bar that the Golden Knives Arena was under.

In his outfit, he was covered in the blood of the fighters and the audience of the arena.

He was also holding the bald manager Daim in his right arm.

"K-kid, what are you doing? Stop!"

Kron chuckled as he aimed a hand at his face.

"You were a good manager Daim." He fired Ki in his face, ending the life of his employer.

The Saiyan looked around Kuchinashi and smiled.

People around him looked at him and seemed terrified.

They were right to.

"Die, weaklings!" Kron yelled charging at random civilians.

He broke bones, fired Ki shots, and destroyed buildings.

One huntsman tried to stop him only for Kron to end his life with an axe kick.

No one was safe, men, women, children, no one was.

The city was coated in flames, scattered with dead bodies.

Kron had waited for so long for this kind of strength, the strength that cannot be overcome by Raven or anyone on this planet.

Once it was over, buildings were destroyed, and corpses were scattered in the streets.

Kuchinashi was now filled with dead, officially destroyed.

Kron stood on top of the tallest building in the city and looked down at it. He took off his mask and looked down at his handiwork.

He then looked at his hand opening and closing it smiling.

Yes, this was the kind of strength. After twelve long years, he was ready, nothing and no one could stop him.

He looked at Kuchinashi and his surroundings.

In the reality we knew, Kali had given Kron a new point of view, a new life far better than he could have on Planet Vegeta. In this reality without Kali not only did Kron change and ultimately abandon his mission, he now had a new view of the natives of the planet, and was able to restrain himself from killing thinking of how Kali would see him.

Here though, Kron didn't just remain the same, he had gotten worse. So much worse. Not only did he keep his need to kill but now he no longer just targeted huntsmen. He targeted everyone, civilians and huntsmen alike. No one is safe from this variation of Kron.

Kron thought of Raven and how she tried to trick him. Soon he will find her, but there's no need to rush. He was going to start cleansing the planet, he's willing to save her for last.

He'll have fun with the natives.

He looked at the sky and had a bloodthirsty smile.

"First Anima, then all of Remnant!" Kron laughed looking forward to the widespread carnage he will cause. "I will no longer be the Scourge of Anima! It's time to be the Scourge of Remnant!" He laughed loudly.

Kron then left the burning city behind.

A little later a man with black hair, red eyes, and a five o'clock shadow made it to Kuchinashi, just as he did in our timeline.

He looked distraught at what he saw. All of Kuchinashi was destroyed, so many died.

There was no doubt who was responsible.

Qrow turned on his scroll and spoke.

"Oz, the kid.." He looked at the carnage reminding him of the Grimm. "He's a way bigger problem than we thought."

Remnant will now suffer at the hands of this version of Kron.

Fu's Temporal Hideout

Fu looked at his time window and shook.

"Man, all this because Raven decided not to take him to Menagerie." He sighed. "Funny how things can be different just from one decision, crazy huh?" He asked the camera.

"Well I don't know about you, but I think this timeline's a real bummer. I'd love to take a break from it and look at something else."

He took out several different time scrolls and showed three of them.

"Alright, guys, you get to choose what we watch next!"

"So Option A: What if Kron never met Kali part 2!" Fu offered. "I may want to move on to another timeline but, I'm willing to keep watching if u guys are! While it does me out, it is fascinating to see Kron keep and embrace his Saiyan roots!"

The Demon scientist pulled another.

"Option B: What if Kron stayed with the Belladonnas!" The scientist said. "Here, Raven does something different and arranges to have Kron stay with the Belladonna family, a much happier timeline I believe, Maybe this can put you in a better mood than this timeline."

And another.

"Option C: What if Kron joined the White Fang!" He smiled. "This one is what if Kron decided it was better to join the White Fang, how would this Kron turn out? Would he meet Kali and Blake? Or would he remain the same?"

A fourth one.

"And finally Option D: What if Kron stayed in the Branwen Tribe!" He said proudly. "You heard right, things play out differently here, Raven succeeds in keeping Kron on her side, but the question is how and would she get everything she wanted?"

Fu placed the scrolls on the table and looked at the camera.

"Like I said, you the audience get to decide what timeline we view next, it's up to you!" Fu said smiling. "And what if you find none of these interesting? Well, let me know if u can think of a better scenario, got a lot of scrolls here, and I'm sure I can find whatever you looking for! Just let me know!"

Fu then looked at his watch.

"Oh! Look at the time, I'm late for a meeting with a certain Time Patroller!" He waved at the camera. "See ya in the next episode! Remember to vote for your suggestions! Laters!"

He then vanished going to be a pain for the Supreme Kai of Time, like usual.

Alright guys, I know this chapter was short, but it was to set up the current what if. What if Kron Never Met Kali Part 2 will have a better length maybe as long as the chapters are in the actual story.

I decided to have the first what if be of Kron staying evil and he won't be the only one.

There will be other evil Kron's with different goals.

Though they may not be as evil as this Kron, even Kali or Blake will not be safe since he never met them when he is in need.

I thought it'd be good to start off with a version of Kron that's evil for all those who wished Kron can remain evil.

Sadly even Team RWBY will not survive this version of Kron.

There's also a neutral Kron and other good versions of Kron.

Oh I'm also thinking of trying to give each Kron a technique unique to them as well as share many with the original, so look forward to that!

I hope this was a good start and u guys enjoy the journey of One's Many Paths.

Like Fu said, you can choose what What if we see next, I will count the votes and do the what if accordingly.

But I can't promise when this will be updated, this is a bonus story.

And I hope this will become a worhty gift for those who supported me in One's Own Path.

Let me know what u guys want to see next and if u like the first chapter of the first what if.

See u guys then.

Have an Awesome day! :)
