Hi guys! So I just posted a chapter for the main story!
At the same time I posted this so feel free to look after looking reading this chapter.
Hope you guys enjoy the chapters!
Well that is all, read on!
The camera turned on and we can see the lab.
"Heyooo!" Fu appeared with a smile. "Hey folks! Welcome to our unregularly scheduled program, stared by me your favorite demon!"
The purple man pulled up a tablet. "Now let's see who you voted for."
A:11
B: 9
C:3
D:1
"And the winner is Option A! What if Kron's pod landed near Salem's castle!"
Fu's eyes widened and looked at the screen.
"What! Come on guys, why do you want the evil options." He sighed. "Oh well, can't get any worse than the Scourge Timeline."
He pulled up the winning scroll.
"Well if it's a horror show you want, a horror show you'll get!" He placed the scroll in the slote.
The monitor changed and showed the video.
What if Kron's pod landed near Salem's Castle
Salem was sitting on her throne looking through an eyeball with black tentacles.
The witch was watching her potential recruits, she had found four of interest and had to give each a test to ensure they were worth her time.
On the eye there was a large bulky man battling hordes of Ursa.
The eye blinked showing a different person.
A young Scorpion Faunus crouched and struck an unsuspecting manticore.
There were two more showing a man and a woman both dead.
Two out of four had survived her test so far, not bad.
Still, it was a shame that woman died, she hoped she would be worthy of being her Maiden.
But it was of no consequence, time is on her side, if she can't find worthy warriors for her cause she can always wait, in time she will find her ideal warrior to help deliver her goal.
Still, she wouldn't mind if it happened soon, hopefully she won't have to wait another century.
On the dragon shaped continent, what looked like a meteor was descending.
It was a pod with a red window carrying a spikey black-haired boy that we all know.
Slowly it opened and spoke. "Destination reached, welcome to Planet Earth."
Kron stepped out of the pod and floated out of it, he looked up seeing the black sky, it was darker than the night sky of his own planet.
"First things first, bury the pod and search for my first kill." He said to himself before burying the pod.
Once he was done, he looked around the rocky terrain, first he should search for any towns or cities and plan to take one of them.
As he traveled, he stopped and looked around noticing canines that stood on their back legs surround him.
He jumped up and landed a few feet away behind the creatures.
Kron looked at the monsters and grinned.
"Low gravity" He looked at his prey the scouter beeped and calculated their power levels. "I chose the right planet to start."
Kron ran forward and kicked a beowolf's head.
The Saiyan would begin slaughtering the Grimm unknown to him, away from him was a floating eyeball with tentacles, one of Salem's Seers that she has all over the continent.
A Seer came to Salem and opened its eye to her.
An intruder? Odd, Ozpin knew better than to attack her here. Perhaps a huntsman ventured here not understanding the danger.
Once it showed the image Salem saw something peculiar.
This was no huntsman, not even a man.
It was a boy with spikey black hair, strange red and green armor, fur pants and a brown tail.
He was fighting with his bare hands as well as red light that he was blasting them like she does with magic.
But was it magic?
Did Ozpin reincarnate in this boy? No, this was no magic, it shouldn't be.
A Semblance perhaps?
There are too many abilities to be a Semblance.
Whoever this boy is, he isn't with Ozpin, he would have put him to use in his cause and not waste him on a suicide mission in her domain.
Which means he was on his own and just wandered into her home.
Salem smiled and stood up from her throne.
She wanted to see this boy for herself.
Kron ripped the head of the last canine. He watched as it faded away.
He tilted his head, what kind of creature just fades away after death? Such strange life forms.
Just then his scouter picked up a new power level, though this one was less than the creatures he killed.
He turned to see what came here expecting a small animal or an insect.
But instead, it was a woman that was ghostly white with black veins across her face and had white hair and dressed in a black robe.
Salem looked at the small boy and smiled.
"Hello little one." She said in a sweet tone. "May I ask who you are and why have you arrived on my land?"
Kron looked at her up and down. This is what the inhabitants look like? Strange, though to be fair he must look strange to the inhabitants to.
Anyway, this woman had a low power level, no need to pay her much mind.
He tossed a red Ki blast.
Salem watched it head for her wondering what it feels like.
The blast connected against her head and exploded. She fell to the ground headless.
Kron looked at the body surprised how easy that was, but he shouldn't be her power level wasn't even double digits. He shrugged his shoulders and started walking away to look for some food.
Behind him Salem's body began to move.
"That was impolite."
Surprised, Kron turned only to see a fire ball too close to avoid.
It exploded and sent him flying into a tree.
The Saiyan grimaced and looked down to see burn marks on his shoulders.
That hurt. More than it should have.
He looked ahead expecting someone new only to see the same pale woman.
She had her hand forward indicating that she blasted him.
"What?" Kron was shocked. "How, that's-"
"Impossible?" Salem asked as she put her hand down. "My dear boy you have no inkling of what is possible." She then frowned. "That attack was a warning I won't be so gentle if you attack again, now I will ask again who you are and why are you on my land?"
The Saiyan growled and ran forward intending to destroy this infuriating woman and jumped to throw a fist across her face.
The fist was strong enough to launch her head off her body.
Kron smiled seeing that happen but then he felt a grip on his arm. He turned and saw the woman's beheaded body grab his arm he looked up at where her head was.
And to his surprise and horror her body had grown a new head, and she wore a stern expression.
Regeneration? Nothing had said that this planet's inhabitants able to do that/
"I warned you." Salem's hand then generated lightning.
Kron felt a surge of electricity coursing through his body and screamed.
"Aaaaahhhh!" Once it stopped the Saiyan went limp while his wrist was still in the witch's grip.
Salem then let the boy go.
The Saiyan fell on his knees and his hands were on the ground, he was groaning in pain.
"Hmm" Salem smiled down at her prey. "Impressive, I expected you to be unconscious."
Kron was shaking as he looked up still on his knees.
The woman wasn't afraid and merely knelt down to get a closer look at his face.
"You are not normal, what are you?"
Kron growled and slammed a hand on her stomach, he fired a red Ki blast, and it sent her flying. She slammed into a boulder, her neck looked crooked, and she had a hole in her stomach.
The Saiyan barely got up but looked at the woman's body, his scouter read that it was now zero.
So the scouter does work? It keeps making this reading whenever he does what should be a fatal blow.
Then the woman's starting to wake up and her head was now right side up, the hole in her stomach was starting to close.
"Not this time!" Kron stubbornly fired multiple energy shots forward, if this woman, this thing can regenerate then he will blast her in so many pieces that she won't be able to.
He kept blasting and blasting creating a collum of smoke, of course he can't see the woman so he can only hope that this was working.
As he kept blasting a few red circles appeared at his sides, and black hands grabbed his arms.
"Huh?" Kron's arms were spread apart making him stop firing his Ki blasts. His legs were grabbed as well and spread apart. He began to shake trying to break free of this restrains.
"I think I took the wrong approach."
Kron looked ahead as the woman walked through the cloud of smoke.
Salem stood tall with her body riddled in holes, a smile was still on her face.
The Saiyan shook trying to break free and continue his attack.
Salem's body began regenerating and she continued. "It's been a long time since I had the pleasure of children being under my care, you can't help but use up all that energy you have to run around and play like all young ones do, my apologies." She rose a hand.
*Snap*
She snapped her fingers.
Kron wondered what the purpose of that was but he heard something from multiple directions, like animals rushing on him.
He looked around him and saw it was herds of creatures like those canines he killed and others varying in shapes and sizes.
Salem smiled at the boy. "I hope they make suitable playmates, please enjoy yourself and don't worry I can always make more." She then waved her hand.
The red circles surrounding Kron vanished and so did the black arms, he fell to his knees and looked around at the monsters attacking him, he let out a roar and ran for them, first he'll destroy them and then this pale woman!
Salem watched the boy attack the Grimm with ferocity, it was a sight to see, he was a toddler and yet he was determined to fight even fatigued.
And it was with energy that she knew wasn't Aura, it felt off, more compact.
As the boy was fighting the horde she summoned she observed how the boy fought.
He had no fighting style, he just relied on brute strength and his energy blasts.
This clearly wasn't Aura or magic.
This power was something knew.
It could be useful for her cause.
But there was something else, Salem was experiencing an old feeling she never thought she'd feel again.
Curiosity, Salem can't remember the last time she felt this way, it was strange, but it wasn't unpleasant, there was something that she couldn't understand and that was more than a rarity.
She heard the noise stopped and rose into the air again landed on its edge.
Kron was now on his knees clearly exhausted, he couldn't move, that was all the energy he had, he looked around there was still a countless number of creatures and they all stopped.
Salem walked in front of the boy, and he looked up at her.
"Have you had your fill now?"
Kron's breathing fastened and he was filled with rage, he stood and he through a fist.
Only this time he stopped and was about to fall over.
Salem caught him with one arm and lifted him until he was held like a mother holding her child.
The witch smiled at the boy in her arms. The armor, the device on his face and his power.
There were so many questions, and she wanted the answers.
"Now, what will I do with you?" Salem played with the boy's spikey hair as if she had found this boy precious.
Kron grunted as he started to wake, he grabbed his face as he tried to remember what had happened.
He remembered fighting those monsters and of course that woman.
The Saiyan looked around realizing that he was in a bed, more comfortable than his own on Planet Vegeta.
He stood up and looked around to see a room that was dark and had decorations all over.
Did that woman bring him here? For what purpose? And what should he do?
He fought her with all his might, but despite the puny power level her attacks were lethal, he was defenseless against this strange power, he was completely helpless even though he beheaded her twice.
It was his first native and she proved capable of ending him, she toyed with him.
He grit his teeth and punched the ground it was pathetic! But he knew that he could prove his worth, he will find her and he will kill her!
This version of Kron is only five and so he hasn't learned when to truly know when he's outmatched.
She may have power but she's a glass cannon, all he must do is blast her limbs off and blast her until there is nothing left to regenerate!
Yes, that must be it!
Kron walked through the halls of wherever he is, it was filled with decorations, paintings of a woman with long blonde hair along with a man with black hair.
He sees a large double door and opened it.
Once it was, he sees a long table with chairs, and at the end was what looked like a dark throne with one woman sitting at the end.
Salem smiled at the boy.
"I take it you rested well?"
Kron growled and flew over the table in attempt to attack.
Salem waved her hand and a red circle appeared underneath, black hands grabbed his limbs and forced him to stay on the ground.
Kron yelled trying to break free while the witch slowly walked towards him.
He looked up at her shadow surrounded him.
Salem glared down at Kron with a stern expression.
"That is enough, you are outmatched and must behave yourself." She demanded and rose a hand close to his face a purple ball with black electricity appeared in front of him.
Kron looked at the ball of energy wondering if it was Ki, but it wasn't, it was a ball of concentrated magic, he looked afraid, more afraid than his counterparts were when they realized they couldn't fight Raven.
"Starting now, you will behave yourself and be civil." Salem instructed. "Do you understand?" Her eyes glowed a terrifying red.
Kron truly was scared, this woman is no match for any Saiyan he knew on Planet Vegeta. But him? He was weak, he'd be torn apart.
If he was going to complete his mission he'll have to swallow his pride.
"Y-yes" He said in a hushed tone. "I understand."
Salem looked down at the boy, it took more effort to terrify him than most men. She smiled and her ball of magic faded away.
"Excellent, keep this behavior and we will get along famously."
She then turned and walked away.
Just then the arms faded away and dropped Kron to the ground.
The Saiyan pushed himself to stand and look at the woman walking away from him.
He felt the urge to attack her while his back was turned, but he knew it would be futile. He'll have no choice but to go along with what she wants, hopefully until he was ready.
Salem made it to the throne and sat in it.
"Come closer, child."
Kron squeezed his fists not liking the way she spoke to him but walked forward.
Salem can easily see the anguish on the boy's face but didn't mind it, she had proven his position here.
"Now my questions, who are you?"
"Kron" He didn't see the point in lying about his name.
That was a strange name, she has never heard that name in any culture, not the four kingdoms or the tribes that consider themselves independent.
Already she was getting something new.
"Where did you come from?" She asked. "Most that arrive in my Grimm lands don't last long on the shore."
Shore, so they were on an island or a small continent, he can work with that.
"I was on a boat and came here for training." It wasn't too far off so this lady wouldn't be able to tell.
Salem frowned at that, it was clearly a lie, but then she smiled.
"I have more questions." She felt no need to interrogate the boy. "Let's save this for another time."
Kron was confused hearing that, she accepted that really quickly and then he wondered something else.
"I can tell you have a question, go on ask." Salem said looking at the young boy.
The Saiyan was suprised and went ahead and asked.
"How come your so powerful, but your, fragile? I broke you over and over."
Simple question.
"Sweet child, I have great power, but I do not use it to increase my physical abilites, I never felt the need to." Unlike the Maidens today who use their magic to amplify their Aura. If only she had Aura, she probably would have bested Ozpin by now.
She doesn't use her power to increase her durability and power? An odd choice, it makes her like a glass cannon, glass that can rebuild itself.
"And" Kron hesitated not wanting to anger the woman. "How did you keep coming back?" He kicked her head off.
The woman looked down at him.
"That's a question for another day, give it time, perhaps I'll be comfortable to tell you then."
Kron should have known that she'd kept quite, she had to be careful while he was in front of her.
He actually hoped that it wouldn't be for long.
Salem smiled and stood up before walking closer to him.
The Saiyan didn't respond as he watched her walk to him.
The woman knelt to his level and lifted his face to look at her.
"You are just filled with intrigue." She said to him. "You young man, will be staying with me, I'd like to learn more about you."
Kron was confused wondering why she stopped asking questions now.
"I know everything there is to know about this world." Salem began. "Every forgotten language, every war waged, every kingdom lost to time, but you, I don't know what you are or where you're from." She explained. "You not only have a strange power I cannot identify, but you are a source of knowledge that I do not know and that is exciting to me."
Kron said nothing not knowing what to say, disturbed to see her with a new emotion after only seeing a cold expression.
"While I would love to ask you more questions, I wish to savor what you know like a fine wine." Salem smiled at his confused face. "I've learned to be good at reading people's expressions."
Kron found that to be bad news, it was going to be hard to hide anything from her.
"I will provide you with food, a home, and whatever else you may ask." She explained with a smile. "Does this sound acceptable?"
The Saiyan looked at her strangely, he expected to be a prisonor she was basically offering him time to get stronger and destroy her along with the planet.
"Whatever I want? Training? Books?"
Salem thought of a certain Scorpion who was likely to pass his exam and a brute that would be an excellent sparring partner for him and her private library.
"Yes of course, but this arrangement doesn't come free, understand?"
"What do you mean?" He wondered what she would have him do.
"First, I want respect, I do not appreciate how you were acting earlier, you are living in my home so you will follow my rules, do you understand child?"
Kron nodded though with hesitation.
"Second, one day when you are old enough, I may need your help in acquiring some Relics."
The Saiyan wasn't sure what she meant but nodded, sounded like his father who was a collector, only somehow scarier even though he's sure that she was weaker than him.
Salem smiled and put a hand top of his head.
"I look forward to getting to know you, welcome home Kron." She said with a sweet looking smile that was off putting for Kron.
This version of Kron would be raised by the monster Raven had always feared.
And many on Remnant will suffer for it.
Fu's Hideout
"For a bit I thought she was gonna kill him." He wiped the sweat off of his brow. "I guess that's not a bad start, but he is going to be one of Remnant's biggest problems."
He thought of all his favorite people on Remnant.
But then he shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh well! That's showbiz for ya, some versions of Kron's are good others are evil that's just how it goes."
He then drew up the options.
"Alright people here are this weeks options!"
A: What if Kron's pod landed near Salem's Castle Part 2
B: What if Kron was female.
C: What if Kron joined the White Fang
D: What if Kron stayed in the Branwen Tribe.
"Alrighty you guys know the rules, most votes will be the next chapter, any option that reaches 0 will be swapped out for another option."
He looked at the options and smiled.
"Good or bad, I am fascinated on what reality we'll see! Bye!"
He vanished leaving the four time scrolls to choose from.
Alright guys, here's the first chapter, good thing Salem finds Kron so interesting, otherwise she would have murdered him.
Now we have a new evil Kron, we were due for one since most Kron's have been good recently.
Now a couple responds.
Lelouch of Zero: Lol, well Ironwood may not be perfect but at the very least he does think of his subordinate's interest like with Winter, sad it didn't stay that way in canon. Raven will always think of her loved ones as tools, the last Spring Maiden is prood of that.
Shrine: I think I like Oraki, feel free to offer more ideas but don't stress about it, I appreciate the effort though thank you, means a lot!
Btw now that the main story is continuing, pretty soon some old options will be available again because they will not be spoiled.
Hope you look forward to that.
Have an awesome day! :)
