After that part, I will take my usual break and when I come back I will add until it is time for our next hiatus.
So till then expect nonstop updates unless something happens in my personal life. If something does happen check the reviews, I will appear as a guest with my name to let u know if that is the case like usual.
BTW is anyone receiving Email notifications? I'm not I have to refresh my reviews and my PMs to see anything new. I looked it up and it's still an issue, so until it's solved I am going to start putting scheduled updates in my Story Summary as well as my latest chapter until it's done.

Next update will be NOV 11.
Hope u enjoy the chapter!
A New Rift
Yang was in a panic trying to go after where she saw Kron run from Qrow and her father. No not run lure. Did he even try to talk to them?
They wouldn't listen if they knew who Kron was, on top of that whether they listened or not, Kron loved fighting, maybe even more than she did. And knowing his appreciation for people who use their fists he'll have one with her dad.
Damn it, she needs to stop this fight before it's too late. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her scroll, she called the number Ozpin had given her.
"Miss Xiao Long?" Ozpin questioned. "What is the matter is it about Kron?"
"Yes! I mean, no but" She was so surprised by what happened she couldn't answer right away. "Look, Ozpin, my dad and uncle, they came back."
"What?" He asked surprised. "Did they find Kron?"
"Yeah, they did! They just got me out of the way and now they're fighting somewhere!"
"Miss Xiao Long do what you can to stop the fight, I am on my way to their location!"
"Right!" Yang yelled as she was running using her Ki for faster speed. Then she started to levitate and began using her Ki to fly but not too far from the ground.
How far would Kron take the fight? He wouldn't hurt them too bad right? And then, are they going to try to kill him? She's sure that Kron will hold back for a good fight, she's experienced that herself. And maybe her for her and Ruby as well.
All this because she kept such an important secret from her family.
She never should have agreed to hide this from her family. She knew it was wrong but did it anyway because she didn't know if it would do anyone any good. Ozpin had told her that they had a mission that they couldn't be distracted from and that keeping their deal with Kron a secret was for the best of everyone. She should've at least asked what mission was so important that she had to keep secrets from her family.
Not like her father and uncle didn't keep secrets from her about her mother either.
Whatever the case she had to stop the fight now who knows what kinda damage they're doing?
Empty Warehouse
Kron looked at his opponents, a scythe wielder and a fist fighter.
The brother Raven wouldn't show up but he's not too sure of Yang's father. So he'll need to be careful at the very least with the blonde, he's not even sure if she'd show up for Yang.
"It's only fair to warn you, whenever I meet opponents strong enough to hurt me I usually give them opportunities to hit me, to make the fight last as long and fun as possible." He said to them. "That's the only reason you have landed as many attacks as you have, keep that in mind as we fight."
Qrow and Taiyang said nothing only watching him and waiting for him to attack. Neither of them thought he was bluffing he did defeat Winter Schnee after she became a Maiden and she had said that he held back until the end.
While he would like to have his long-anticipated rematch with Raven, he wanted it to be at Dead End Arena now that it was available. Where he is surrounded by an audience and for all to witness his greatest win. Not to mention he preferred to keep the agreement he made with Ozpin and Yang and allow Yang her two months like he said he would.
So he'll just have some fun with them, tire them out before knocking them out.
Kron chuckled at the two. "My turn." He dashed at both of them.
Kron appeared between the two huntsman.
He threw a fist aimed at Taiyang's gut and an elbow up Qrow's jaw.
And Taiyang blocked with his forearm while Qrow blocked with his scythe.
That wasn't too bad they reacted with quicker speed than a Maiden should be able to perceive.
Qrow pulled back his scythe pressed a button to shift it back to a longsword and tried to swipe at his legs.
Kron jumped before it was able to connect.
But as he did Taiyang threw a punch aiming for his face, but before it could land he swayed the punch and kicked at his side.
The taller man blocked it with his forearm.
Qrow swiped Harbinger in its long sword form while the Saiyan avoided direct hits but not without his shirt becoming cut and reduced to tatters.
While he was distracted Taiyang took advantage of his evasion and grabbed Kron's right arm, kicked the back of his knee forcing him to kneel, and pinned him to the ground with his knee at his back.
Kron was surprised by this, Yang had never shown any grappling like this.
While he was pinned Qrow pointed his longsword in front of his eye.
"Kid" The huntsman began. "Talk, tell us exactly what're you doing with Yang?" He asked him.
Taiyang then spoke. "If you don't talk, I'll be breaking your arm," He said while pulling his arm to his side. "first!" Indicating he was planning to do even more damage.
While Kron was on the ground he wasn't angry or embarrassed he was actually impressed. This man knew what he was doing, when he first met Yang she wasn't bad hand-to-hand but being pinned by her father shows that he's on another level. Even after Ozpin's training.
He looked up at Qrow who had his blade near his eye, and this one. Last time they met he was nowhere near this good. Not only has his strength gotten up but his speed has notably gotten better too. If only he was this way when they first met.
"If you want to know that badly," Kron grunted as he bit the end of Qrow's long sword.
It surprised the former bandit and he tried to pull it back and Taiyang started to bend Kron's arm.
And Kron merely levitated with his Ki and spun forcing Taiyang to let go, he then slammed a kick into Qrow's side forcing the huntsman to let go and slam into the wall behind him.
Kron spat the sword out, grabbed its hilt, and tossed it, it impaled the wall beside Qrow who was just getting up.
"Ask her yourself when we're done."
From behind him, Taiyang had gotten up from being tossed and was about to throw another punch behind Kron's head.
And the Saiyan saw it coming so he turned and was about to throw a punch of his own.
But Taiyang immediately caught it and punched his gut.
Kron was surprised once again by the hit, not too damaged from the impact of course.
And the huntsman threw a vicious left hook.
And it landed forcing him to turn his head.
Taiyang was about to strike again but immediately raised an arm.
Kron slammed a vicious elbow aimed at his face. With a chuckle, he then threw a spear hand for his neck.
Once it connected caused the huntsman to cough.
And just before the Saiyan was about to throw another attack Qrow with Harbinger in its scythe form swung actually aiming for his neck.
The Saiyan smelt the scent of booze and ducked underneath it. He then slammed a kick into Qrow's stomach, forcing him to keel over.
Taiyang was about to throw a punch.
But with quicker speed, Kron uppercut the blonde's chin before he could throw his attack.
The Saiyan then got on the ground, and swept kick Qrow forcing him to fall, he then grabbed his leg and swung it across Taiyang, sending the two huntsman away from him and through a few shelves making them tumble over.
Kron moved his arms and was smiling. He was enjoying this, neither was as strong as Bertilak but definitely more skilled. If either of them fought him even with that woman helping him he's willing to bet that either could pull off a win if only barely.
That makes fighting two of them even more fun.
Taiyang recovered quickly and slammed his elbow behind the wall out of Kron's view.
And below the Saiyan, it glowed yellow.
"Whoa!" Kron dashed upwards avoiding the explosion. But the explosion created a smokescreen that covered a good chunk of the warehouse.
Qrow immediately got off of Tai and dashed into the smokescreen.
Kron who couldn't see anything looked around trying to rely on his nose. But couldn't all he could smell was smoke, he was definitely blind.
That sword can definitely cut him so best to cover his vitals.
And just as he did he was slashed across his chest, his back, legs, and his face.
"Tch!" Kron was really starting to get annoyed but then he smiled enjoying this. "You're way faster than before." He said in a genuine tone.
Just then the smoke was starting to clear and Kron could finally see something.
With a grin, he raised a hand and caught a blade's handle with his hand. He pulled in to see Qrow and smirked.
The reaper smiled back.
Taiyang jumped up and threw a fist into the occupied Kron's stomach. And it caused another yellow explosion and sent him flying.
As Kron slammed into the wall he glanced to see Qrow already gunning for him. He immediately kicked Harbinger up, stood back up, and threw a straight punch into his face forcing him to roll away.
And Taiyang dashed for him again.
Which excited Kron wanting to go through another exchange of fists.
Both started to throw a fist aimed at each other's faces.
And just then part of the roof shattered.
Making the two and Qrow stop what they were doing and look up at who joined their skirmish.
It was Yang who looked tired from trying to catch up to the three.
"Finally!" She said panting a bit more than Taiyang who had struggled to catch up to Qrow.
Taiyang looked terrified and immediately grabbed Kron in a stranglehold. "Run Yang!" He yelled to his daughter.
"Dad stop!" She dashed forward to stop him.
But Qrow stood in front of Yang with his weapon stabbed into the ground.
"Uncle Qrow!" She yelled surprised that she could barely see his movements.
"Do what your father says kiddo." He said in a serious voice.
Kron grabbed the arm that ensnared his neck and pried it off, he then spun and tossed a left hook across his face.
Qrow immediately turned and swung harbinger towards his neck area.
And the Saiyan threw an elbow towards Qrow and kicked Taiyang's stomach.
"I said stop!"
But just before impact an explosion came in between the three of them.
All three stopped what they were doing and stared at Yang.
Both Taiyang and Qrow looked surprised, that didn't look like a bullet from Ember Celica.
"Qrow! Dad! Please stop!" She yelled. "You got this all wrong! You're attacking my friend!"
Kron looked at her while glancing at the two.
Taiyang glanced at Kron who seemed to be staring at her instead of taking advantage of the confusion and finally tried to explain.
Qrow had gotten pale at the sight of his niece adamant about defending him.
Taiyang was in disbelief seeing her daughter perform the same power and glared at Kron.
Kron didn't say anything and just looked at Yang as if he was waiting for her to talk. While he did want to fight them he thought she should talk to them at least.
"Yang listen, this boy, I don't know what your… relationship is with this guy is but he isn't who he says he is." He explained while eyeing Kron for when he attacked.
"You're wrong, I know him!" She yelled at him.
Taiyang wanted to explain but he kept looking at Kron and expected him to attack thankfully he didn't. Both he and Qrow were on edge unsure of what to do.
Yang gave him a look hinting him to let her do the talking.
He obliged, after fighting the urge to continue.
"It's true Dad I know who he is, and listen he's not a bad guy, trust me I've been with him for two months and I know he's not!"
When she said that the duo were silent for a few seconds before turning to Kron.
"With him?" Qrow asked with gritted teeth.
"You!" Taiyang yelled his eyes glowing red like Yangs. "What have you been doing with my daughter!"
Kron raised an eyebrow unsure why they seemed even angrier with him. He was puzzled wondering what in her words could trigger a reaction.
Yang realized her blunder and again tried to explain. "Wait a sec that wasn't what I-"
Before she could even finish her sentence Taiyang had then tackled the distracted Kron.
The Saiyan looked surprised as he saw Taiyang's face. He looked like a possessed demon, kinda like Yang does when he made her angry.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the look, she definitely took more from him than Raven.
The huntsman then threw a knee against Kron's chin making his head rear back.
He then threw multiple body shots and kicked at his side sending him crashing against the wall.
Qrow turned to their skirmish with an angry look on his face. This kid was sure that he wasn't that evil when he first met him, he was willing to let him go despite being Raven's brother. Yes, he was willing to kill him suspecting his Semblance activated on purpose but at least he didn't go too far against him.
Yang tried to intervene between her father and Kron.
But Qrow grabbed her arm and held firm as she tried to escape his grip.
"Uncle Qrow!" She shouted trying to escape his grip but he was strong enough to keep her in place. "Let me go, listen! I didn't mean what I said before just let me explain damn it!"
Qrow looked at Yang with a saddened face, this kid has been tricking her. Probably using her in an attempt to get to Raven. He could forgive him for trying to kill him.
But dating his niece, tricking her into thinking he was someone else was something low, even Raven wouldn't stoop that low.
"Uncle Qrow I-"
Before she could finish Qrow hit her neck with the back of Harbinger.
Despite having Aura as well as Ki, Yang had let her guard down thinking that he wouldn't have done anything to her, it was enough to make Yang lose consciousness and fall, but Qrow caught her.
"Sorry firecracker, I'll have to explain everything after I help your old man." He said to her as he gently put her on the ground with a saddened look.
Once Kron was against the wall he saw an angry Taiyang charging at him, he tilted his head as the punch crushed the wall behind him and he slammed his head against his.
The huntsman stumbled back.
Kron then threw a punch against Taiyang's gut making him keel over. Then he threw jumped and uppercut making him look up. Kron then spun like a boarbatusk and slammed his kick down on top of Taiyang's forehead.
The blonde huntsman hit the ground from the strike, he glanced up expecting to see another strike.
But instead to his surprise, Kron stood in front of him despite having another clear opening.
"As fun as this is, you should hear what your kid has to say bef-"
He stopped talking as he felt a fire dust bullet on his back, it wasn't enough to really damage him but it distracted him enough to turn and see Qrow aiming harbinger at him.
Taiyang took advantage of it got to his feet slammed a fist straight into his back, and caused a yellow explosion.
The impact was enough to make him stumble forward.
And Qrow took advantage of this and cut across his legs.
The front of Kron's legs was cut letting out blood and making the Saiyan fall forward.
Taiyang slammed his fist down on top of Kron's head again forcing him on the ground.
Once he was on the ground he chuckled and pushed himself off the ground as Qrow was about to stab into his back.
Kron landed a few feet away from them.
He held his arms up showing a small Ki ball at the end of each finger. The Ki orbs started to float behind his back and by moving his fingers he released.
"Guided Swarm!" He yelled releasing his Ki orbs.
Qrow and Taiyang were alarmed as these small but surely lethal attacks were thrust at them.
But Qrow being the more agile of the two avoided five of them in different directions, while Taiyang was only able to avoid two of them but three of them were too close for him to dodge. With no other option, he cross-blocked as the attacks hit him with his wristbands combining together.
Kron looked at the cloud of smoke wondering and hoping if at least Tai could still fight.
And to his delight, Taiyang wasn't deterred he ran forward still holding his arms in a cross block with his wrist bands forming a larger golden shield.
Kron cocked back a fist once he was within reach.
But a dust bullet hit his arm which distracted him.
Taiyang immediately threw a left hook across his face, but the Saiyan threw a fist of his own.
The huntsman immediately raised an arm his left wrist band forming a small shield catching it.
And the Saiyan threw a vicious combo.
A barrage of straight punches and kicks at his side.
Taiyang being a master martial artist blocked most of these strikes, but every time he blocked he would get more unpredictable.
Kron threw a spear hand aiming for Tai's throat.
Seeing it coming Taiyang raised an arm to block.
But it was a feint as he threw a punch for his abdomen without a guard.
Taiyang was shocked at how this young man landed an attack on him in unarmed combat being that he definitely had more combat experience especially bare-handed.
Kron with a smile was happy to see that he had gained an advantage, he slammed his forearm against the huntsman's to get it out of the way and headbutted Taiyang's head and kicked across his face.
This was when the Xaio-Long patriarch understood how Kron's fighting style worked. Its greatest strength was that it had flexible combos with feints, breaking down the opponent's defenses and catching the victim off guard.
The Saiyan threw a spear hand to his throat making him cough again, it reminded the blonde of a deathstalker stinger, then Kron did a front flip which reminded him of a boarbatusk's spin, once he flipped he let his leg out and axe kick aimed for the to top of his head, Taiyang brought his arms up to block the blow but he was barely fast enough. That one reminded him of a Sphinx slamming its tail with a flip.
This fighting style, it was of imitating the movements of Grimm.
Kron threw a knee into his chin forcing him to look up, then he got on the ground threw a fist into his abdomen and he delivered an uppercut up his chin.
As he looked up Taiyang grinned as he saw him about to toss another fist.
The blonde swung a kick for his right side.
And it connected forcing him to stumble.
Veteran huntsman can understand that his fighting style's greatest weakness is that it leaves openings and creates opportunities to strike back. A large flaw that is practically a sin in hand-to-hand combat.
As the Saiyan was forced to stumble backward, Qrow appeared and swung his scythe across Kron's back.
This led to a long cut across his back.
He then slammed a kick into his back where he cut, definitely it caused enough pain for him to notice.
Taiyang then threw another punch straight to his face.
And Kron threw a punch aimed at Taiyang's face.
Being faster the Saiyan's fist reached the blonde's first making him struggle to stand his ground.
Qrow tried to stab into his back.
But Kron saw it coming, he jumped avoiding the strike, and spun with an elbow strike into his face.
He then threw a kick across Taiyang's face.
And the huntsman blocked it but grimaced at the amount of force. His Aura started to crack, and he grabbed onto the leg with one arm and threw a punch with the other.
And of course, lacking good defense the punch landed and forced his head to rear back.
Qrow then swung Harbinger in its scythe form and slashed into Kron's abdomen, but not enough to do serious damage.
Having had enough of being treated like a rag doll, Kron pulled himself up and threw a vicious punch across his face.
Being an expert fighter Taiyang of course was able to block it but not without being propelled back.
Kron chuckled as he landed on the ground and smiled, this guy was still fun. Sure it was good that Qrow had gotten strong too, but fighting a martial artist with this kind of strength was way more fun than any he had.
With a grunt, Taiyang slammed his fist into the ground.
Knowing how his semblance worked Kron glanced at the ground and saw that it glowed yellow and he jumped as it exploded seeing it coming after it already happened.
Once he was up Qrow appeared above and swung his scythe downward.
And Kron knowing that the blade was sharp enough to threaten him grabbed the blade between his hands.
Qrow swung a kick straight into his stomach.
The kick landed but Kron was able to brace himself and pulled the scythe forward and punched across his face.
And while he was still in the air Taiyang jumped in front of him with a fist cocked back.
Kron swayed his head seeing the fist thrown.
But it was a feint as he stopped short and threw an elbow into Kron's abdomen.
The Saiyan felt that and started to descend.
Taiyang wasn't done as he slammed a knee into his abdomen and another punch into his face.
This forced him to descend, but once he reached the ground he threw his arms down did a handstand and backflipped.
Taiyang landed on the ground with his fist into the ground causing a small crater into the ground.
Kron looked down not showing his face, he looked up showing blood on his face. He wiped his face with his hand and looked at his hand.
These two were only Maiden level. Strong enough to make him bleed but they still shouldn't have done this much to him.
It just goes with what Raven said, it takes more than brute force to win a fight.
The Saiyan was really starting to enjoy the fight. Not only does he get a fist fight but he gets to fight a powered-up Qrow who was impressive in his own right but didn't have enough power to even hurt him.
He looked ahead at the two in combat stances. Both of them were determined to fight him to the end despite the power difference that was clear for all to see.
He looked at Taiyang he was especially impressed by him, Yang's fighting style had improved but Taiyang was still at another level. Also, he can see the rage in his eyes, he admires it, and it's almost like looking at another Saiyan's eyes.
Now that he thought of that he had to ask.
"Hey, you!" He pointed at Yang's father. "I got to ask, why did someone like you end up reproducing with the old hag?"
Taiyang paused upon hearing that. "Old hag?" He asked.
"Raven" Kron said as if it was obvious. "How did you end up making a brat with her of all people?" He asked. "I've known you for a few minutes and I feel like you could've done way better." He continued. "Then again I guess you did make a kid with someone else." He said thinking of Ruby. "Did Raven show her true colors and reveal what a real coward she is? She's pretty good at pretending that she's this warrior who cares for 'the strong live, and the weak die.'"
Taiyang was a little confused, it sounded like he was complimenting him. But he grits his teeth and glares at him.
"Listen to me, I don't know why you want to kill Raven so badly but leave my daughter out of it!" He yelled. "Why are you doing this to her, fooling her into" he was getting angry but he was keeping control at least better control than Yang does. "In a relationship with her?"
Kron was confused hearing that. Was that why he had gotten so angry all of a sudden? "I haven't tricked her into anything, I don't manipulate people that's Raven's schtick, not mine. She said it herself she knows who I am."
The black-haired huntsman scowled as he rose Harbinger ready to defend himself. "We both know you're not fond of anyone related to Raven."
Kron glanced at Qrow and remembered the last time they met. And what he tried to do, he likely made it alive because of his misfortune.
"I remember that," Kron said to him. "I am sorry, I thought that-"
"Save it!" Qrow yelled as he dashed forward with his scythe cocked back. "You don't get to talk for involving my niece!"
Looks like Yang really couldn't talk them down. Oh well, at least the fun can continue.
Carefully once the huntsman was just about to be within striking range he activated his Misfortune.
Kron swung his leg in an attempt to kick.
Just before he did a lightbulb behind him fell, making him turn and look at it, unlucky for it to take his attention.
The slight misfortune led to Qrow swinging his scythe slashed multiple times against his chest. If it wasn't for his Ki he would've been fatally cut.
Taiyang came to his side and swung across his face making him turn.
Then Qrow slashed at his side but Kron blocked the flat of his blade and pushed it up.
And Taiyang threw a backhand across his face and he swung his other straight into his face.
While Qrow tried to stab into his gut.
Kron chuckled as he kicked straight into Taiyang's stomach forcing him away and punched across Qrow's cheek before his blade could land on him.
"Ok, you two," The Saiyan said as he formed two red Ki orbs. "You've earned the right to try my newest move-out." He said excitingly as his Ki orbs began to take shape.
"Scourge Grimm!" He yelled as his Ki orbs took shape and formed two beowolves.
Qrow and Taiyang looked surprised at that. It reminded them of the Schnee summonings. Just what is this strange power?
With a smile Kron held his hands up, this was the first time he could try using two Scourge Grimm, and considering his fighting two Maiden-level opponents instead of weakling slavers, he'd have fun testing his technique a little further.
Now he can test it on actual opponents, though he hoped that it wouldn't attract the hag's attention, he was just too excited not to try it.
Kron moved his fingers making his Ki-eowolves move as if they were actual Grimm instead of Ki constructs.
One beowolf swung its claw but was blocked by Qrow's Harbinger in its longsword form.
Another tried to bite Taiyang's shoulder but he grabbed the jaw and held it up.
Qrow stabbed into the Ki Grimm's gut.
While Taiyang threw a punch into his own Grimm's stomach.
Kron chuckled seeing his Scourge Grimm failing against their targets. "Good news this shouldn't damage you too much." He said smiling.
The two looked at him strangely, and just then his Ki Grimm exploded.
This created huge columns of smoke in those spots.
The Saiyan smiled seeing his attack in action and chuckled. But then he stopped when he thought of something. Even if Raven doesn't show up, Yang will probably not like that he had beaten down Qrow and her father.
"Damn, gonna have to apologize again." He sighed really annoyed not liking the feeling of apologizing.
At his side, Qrow appeared covered in scratches from the explosion dealing with his own Scourge Grimm and cocked back his longsword.
"This again?" Kron asked annoyed as he turned and was about to intercept.
But this time Qrow ducked and behind him, a familiar fist came and struck straight into his face.
Kron again reared back and it barely missed his face. That little trick almost got him.
And Qrow thrust his bladed intent to stab into his shoulder and make his arm immovable.
But Kron noticed and weaved under the peirce and punched into Qrow's stomach.
And Taiyang elbowed across his cheek.
After that Kron quickly axe kicked down Taiyang's head and punched it across Qrow's face.
The blonde hit the ground and Qrow was sent flying.
Kron stepped back in his combat stance with a smile.
"Have to say, Taiyang, you did a great job with Yang, despite having her mother's blood I can see how she ended up the warrior she is today." He complimented me with a smile that seemed genuine. "Also you're way more fun than most fighters around your level, considering you fight hand to hand."
Taiyang growled as he stood up and was about to swing another punch.
"That's enough!"
Before the fight could continue an explosion appeared at the ceiling.
Kron stopped and so did the duo.
It was Yang again holding up a hand with an open palm, making it clear that she wasn't using Ember Celica. To make it clear what she was doing she prepped a golden Ki ball floating over her hand.
Both huntsmen were shocked at what they were looking at. That ball of light it looked too much like what the Scourge had wielded.
"What is this?" Taiyang asked. "What's going on?" He asked. "Yang, how are you doing that?" And then he turned to Kron. "Why is she able to do that!"
"Dad, Uncle Qrow, please actually listen to me!" She yelled at them. "Look, I know Kron he isn't who you think he is."
Both of them glared at Kron thinking that he had brainwashed her.
Qrow turned to Yang and tried to explain. "Listen Firecracker, it's not what it looks like, whoever he says he is, he's lying, the truth is he's"
"The Scourge of Anima." Yang finished before she finished her sentence.
Both Taiyang and Qrow looked confused and stared at Kron.
The Saiyan shrugged at their expressions. "I told you, didn't I? I'm no threat to her." He said calmly disappointed that the fight seemed to be ending when he was just having fun.
"Kron!" Yang yelled glaring at him. "Let me do the talking! Just keep quiet!"
Kron groaned annoyed that his fun was interrupted but reluctantly obeyed.
The stunned father and uncle stared at the blonde. "Yang, do you know who he's after?"
"Yeah he's looking for Raven, I know."
Taiyang was surprised when she said that and looked at Kron.
"You, she knows about you?"
"Duh," He said in a disappointed tone. " I tried to tell you."
"It's true Dad I know who he is, we're not together like you think we are," Yang said. "I've known who he is for two months and know that he's after Raven."
Taiyang was shaking his head looking at Kron, he wasn't attacking them he was letting her talk.
"Wait, you know he's after Raven?" He asked. "Then why? Why are you friends with him? Why can you do what he can?"
Yang closed her eyes and looked away guiltily. She hated this, she knew that keeping the situation a secret from her dad and uncle was a bad idea. And now she was going to have to dig her way out of the pile of lies.
"It's a long story." She stated. "See Kron's been teaching his power for the past few months." She explained holding up her golden ball of Ki. "He's been making me stronger."
This seemed to further confuse the two.
Qrow aimed his blade at Kron to his throat.
"What's your game? Why did you do this?"
Kron stared at Qrow and shrugged.
"I wanted a strong opponent." He explained. "I thought of finding and teaching someone my power, when I found Yang I knew she was perfect for my power so I started training her."
"But why? You want to kill Raven." Qrow said confused and looked to Yang. "And, don't you care that she wants to kill your mother?"
When he said that Yang flinched a bit hearing that, she felt terrible thinking that she had befriended someone willing to kill her birth mother. But looking at Kron and thinking of all things she's done she had a determined look on her face.
"Summer was my mom, not Raven."
This surprised the duo, they knew that it was true. Raven was never her mother, she was only the woman that had given birth to her.
"Yang, look" Taiyang began. "I know I haven't told you anything about her, whatever he's told you, you have to understand it's complicated, I know you can't have a relationship with her but he doesn't know her like we do."
"Yeah?" Yang asked as she dissipated her Ki and crossed her arms. "Like mom's Semblance?"
Taiyang's eyes widened upon hearing that and looked away.
"Or what about that she was a bandit that raided villages?" She asked further.
Qrow sighed hearing that thinking of his youth in the Branwen Tribe.
"He told me a lot, but listen he isn't tricking me I know what he wants and agreed to a deal he made with me."
This was a lot for both of them to progress. While they were away she had learned a bit about her mother and had gotten to know the Scourge of Anima.
"What was this deal?" He asked and stared at Kron. "What is she talking about?"
Kron was starting to get annoyed with how they kept looking at him to explain when she was already doing it.
"Dad please," Yang said. "What happened was-"
"Wait a moment Miss Xiao Long."
Again someone else came to the picture.
Kron silently grumbled his Saiyan battle lust was displeased that their fight may have stopped now that their leader was here.
Ozpin had arrived looking a bit winded, though not as winded as Kron would expect.
"Oz?" Qrow asked looking at him he was shocked that he of all people was here and turned to Kron and back to him.
Taiyang was just as confused first Yang and now Ozpin of all people. He was unsure of what to say and just stared between Ozpin and Kron.
"Taiyang, Qrow" Ozpin said to them. "I sent Glynda after your scroll signals, I'm happy to see that you arrived in one piece." He meant that genuinely, he didn't know what went on with them after their scroll's signals broke. Though he wished that he would have contacted them, if he had known that they were coming he could have called them. And maybe explain the situation better.
The duo looked at Ozpin and at Yang.
Both had faces of a mixture of confusion and disappointment.
"Ozpin" Taiyang began. "Tell me you don't know who he is." He pointed at Kron. "Tell us, that you don't know why he's with Yang." He said with a face that showed that he was trying to hide his anger.
"Oz" Qrow began. "Listen, he's the Scourge of Anima, the kid who Raven trained, and somehow." He hesitated and looked at Yang. "He's been training Yang under your nose." He finished. "Right? You didn't know what was happening right?"
Kron was a little confused did they not know what was going on? Strangely, he didn't take Ozpin to be one who hides anything from those he leads.
With a guilt-riddled expression, Ozpin sighed. He made his choices, and now it was time to pay the consequences.
"Taiyang, Qrow" He began. "I, am sorry. A lot has happened while you two have been away."
Qrow had shook his head. "A lot happened?" He asked. "You sent us away, a lot happened and you didn't tell us?"
Taiyang had started shaking as he glared at Ozpin.
Yang looked surprised at his face, she's seen her father angry before but not to this degree, she didn't remember his anger being so terrifying.
Though silent Kron's excitement for battle had seemed to reignite at the sight of his rage but he did not act. It was best to see how this played out, from the looks on their faces and not knowing if Ozpin was on the same level or not, he knew that at least he would have to fight one of them.
And he hoped it would be Yang's father, like father like daughter he was fun to fight despite being in a different league than him.
Taiyang growled as he glared at Ozpin. "What is this? What has been going on? And were me and Qrow being held in the dark about this?" He asked squeezing his fists. "Tell me now Ozpin."
With a look of shame, Ozpin began to explain the situation. "While you were away, without us knowing Kron, the Scourge of Anima had come to Vale without anyone knowing." He began." After the first month of Beacon's year, he had made himself known, had defeated Glynda, and was about to knock out Yang to lure out Raven."
He remembered the night it happened when he brought Glynda and casually tossed her toward them.
"But instead he made us a proposal, one that I couldn't see a way to avoid," Ozpin said further. "Allow him to train Yang to harness his ability for four months, for a chance to stop him from luring Raven, in exchange during that time he would protect Vale and give us information of plans Salem's underlings have made to destroy Vale," Ozpin explained.
The duo was shocked after that explanation, Qrow's disappointed face formed a scowl, and shook his head as if trying to see if this was some dream.
"You" Taiyang began and he gritted his teeth as if fighting not to release a monster he was holding back. "So for two months, you had made this deal behind our back, without telling us? You sent us to find Raven, to convince her to rejoin our cause, you've been letting the Scourge around my daughter?!"
That last sentence got Kron's attention. Sent to find Raven? Ozpin didn't mention that to him. He glanced to Ozpin who kept his saddened look.
Yang was also surprised to hear that and couldn't help but stare at Ozpin. He wanted Raven to rejoin their side. And he made the deal with Kron without telling them? She knew they were on a mission but she didn't expect them to go after Raven!
"I know" Ozpin sighed. "I know, but you have to understand, we were not in a position to refuse, if we had, he would have simply lured Raven, killed her, and left us to fend for ourselves dealing with Salem's forces, even with Glynda and you two here, Beacon likely would have fallen after finding out about their plans before they could enact them."
Taiyang seemed to get angrier and angrier hearing that.
"Ozpin.." He said looking down his hands releasing small sparks showing that his Semblance was starting to activate. "None of that explains why you kept it from us, tell us why! Why did you withhold something this important something concerning my family?!"
Both of them were angry at this and were shocked that Raven seemed to have proven right. That Ozpin sees them all as pawns to lie to and throw away.
"Because I knew that if I had, you would have abandoned the mission and returned no matter what." He said to them. "I didn't know at the time if Kron would end our deal if you had interrupted it, so I kept it from you because I did not understand the kind of man the Scourge of Anima was, and with Salem crafting Sould Dust we needed as much power as we can get and learning his ability would ensure we could defend ourselves for the day she unleashes an army of multiple Semblance users."
"Ozpin" Qrow spoke this time. "You remember when he tried to kill me? You're telling me that I couldn't know if my niece was around someone like that?"
Yang was surprised to hear that and looked at Kron. She didn't believe that, but it wasn't true. Was it? Her uncle wouldn't lie. As she looked at Kron she was hoping that he would say that he didn't.
The Saiyan didn't look at her, he only closed his eyes and looked down, thinking about that made him feel this guilt all over again.
He remembered Qrow's encounter with Kron, how he tried to kill him thinking that he was trying to trick him. It was then he thought it was best to avoid him while observing him as much as possible and recreate the Void Vault, something he vowed to never do again. But if they were to encounter Raven or the Scourge it was required.
He also remembered his fight against Hazel. No doubt these Soul Dust crystals provide a sacrifice as the Void Vault does however unlike him Salem does not care how many times she tests it, she will do It over and over again until it is perfected.
And then when Kron had made his offer, he could see a possibility of solving all their problems.
And once it is, she will one day possess an army of that. And perhaps even worse, a Maiden with multiple Semblances.
"I'm sorry" Ozpin stated. "I only did the best I could at the moment I did not have the means to provide an alternative."
When he finished this he looked at the two and could see the rage, disappointment, and betrayal they felt. Perhaps they understand why, but even so they felt stabbed in the back, and rightfully so.
Ozpin wondered how many times he did this and tried to justify it being for the greater good.
Taiyang seemed to be in a trance, he saw another vision only this one was different. It wasn't showing one that happened in the past, it was showing the Scourge standing over not only Raven's dead body but Yang's as well.
All because he couldn't stop it.
All because Ozpin did not tell him about it.
Similar to what happened to Glynda the effects of the Void Vault took their toll and he acted.
Qrow had spoken in a disappointed tone. "Oz, Raven was right about you."
Ozpin was hurt to hear that coming from who was one of, if not his greatest supporters.
Taiyang dashed towards his target faster than the eye could track.
But not towards Kron.
Taiyang was already in front of Ozpin with a fist cocked back and his face raging mad. He didn't seem to care for Kron he wanted the man he held responsible for all of this.
Ozpin could barely follow and raised a hand in an attempt to defend himself as best he could, wondering if his Ki, Aura and little magic could keep him alive.
The huntsman threw his fist at full force.
*Crash!*
Ozpin looked surprised at what he was seeing.
Kron stood in front with an arm raised blocking the punch.
Yang didn't see any of this coming either, she didn't think that her father would attack Ozpin. Nor that Kron would be the one defending him.
Kron stared into Taiyang's face who snarled at the sight of him like he was possessed.
"Part of the deal is I have Vale under my protection, including its people," Kron explained still holding back his punch with his forearm. "That includes Ozpin, so if you want to take a crack at Ozpin you'll need to wait two more months or get past me."
Ozpin wasn't surprised hearing that, Kron had made it clear that he wanted to honor the agreement.
"So I've had fun but I think I'll be ending this fight now." Kron said to Taiyang.
The huntsman yelled as he tried to throw a kick at his side.
And the Saiyan grabbed his leg and punched straight into his face.
It sent the huntsman back. Who had a glare at them?
"Kron wait, stop!" Yang yelled, putting aside what she heard for now. "Let me talk to them." She said and looked at her family. "Please just stop! You have to-"
Before she could finish both Qrow and Taiyang charged towards Kron with faces full of rage.
Qrow slashed his scythe for his face while Taiyang threw a fist at his head.
This time Kron threw a fist into Taiyang's gut and kicked the side of Qrow.
The duo stumbled back and glared at him.
Kron can see the look in their eyes and glance at Ozpin. "They remind me of Glynda, they are not themselves right now right?"
Ozpin could see them and wondered if that was true. In his youth, Taiyang had anger issues similar to his daughter.
And Qrow, always expected the worst to happen and is likely seeing the worst outcome of his deal with Kron.
Whether this was due to the Void Vault or not, he was going to have to pay the consequences for keeping them in the dark.
"And Yang" Kron stated. "I'll hold back, I'll make sure they're alright."
The worried Yang wanted to stop the fight but she could see the look on their faces they weren't going to stop until either Kron or Ozpin were down, they wouldn't listen to her. Though her thoughts drifted to what Qrow had said. He tried to kill her uncle. It made her doubt it and brace herself to intervene.
Now wasn't the time, she'll ask when this was over.
She nodded reluctantly, angry that she wasn't strong enough to intervene.
Kron turned to them and dashed forward at a quicker speed than usual.
Qrow and Taiyang stood their ground determined to defend themselves, but Kron threw punches toward them using one arm for each of them.
The duo had to defend themselves as best as they could, but his punches were getting through.
"Qrow, your greatest misfortune was thinking you could beat me."
Kron had struck with a flattened hand to Qrow's throat.
It was hard enough to make him cough and his Aura actually shattered. Once that was done, Kron had thrown a chop at the back of his neck while still punching Taiyang with his other arm.
The strike was enough force to bring Qrow face first on the ground.
Taiyang looked down at his partner while he had his guard up.
With a roar, the huntsman threw a punch that was explosive.
But rather than take the hit Kron had grabbed onto Taiyang's striking arm, pulled him, and kicked the back of his knee making him kneel.
The huntsman tried to punch the ground to activate his semblance, but the Saiyan used his tail to wrap around his other arm.
With both of Taiyang's arms gripped in his tail and right arm. Kron gripped the back of Taiyang's neck with his left arm.
"This should put you to sleep," Kron said to him as he gripped his neck.
He used a technique he hadn't for a while, the Taijitu Bite Grip. Two fingers at the man's throat and his thumb on a pressure point on the back of his neck.
With a squeeze, Taiyang can see his vision fading. He looked towards Yang and couldn't unsee her dead.
"Yang… run." He said before he began to lose consciousness.
And the father lost consciousness, his body went limp.
Kron let go of his neck, unwrapped his tail on the blonde's left arm, and pulled back his right arm releasing his right arm.
Taiyang wasn't faking and hit the ground unconscious.
Yang ran forward and went to check on his father and uncle.
As she did Kron looked at her. "There alright." He said to her. "I only tapped your uncle and your father will be able to wake up soon."
Yang could see that there still breathing and sighed, she then looked at Ozpin who walked forward.
"They will need these," Ozpin said hesitantly revealing two Aura Suppressant Cuffs.
Yang saw that, looked at her family members, and glared at him. "I told you we shouldn't have been hiding the deal from them."
"I know" He admitted, he should've thought of something to say to them but couldn't for the life of them.
"And Ozpin" Kron began. "What was that about you having them recruit Raven to your side?" He asked. "What the hell was that supposed to mean? Did you forget what will happen if Yang loses in two months?"
Ozpin looked at Kron with a calm expression. "I sent them on this mission before Beacon had even begun its year before I met you." He said to him. "I couldn't just call off the mission without explaining our… situation."
"Tch" Kron was annoyed at that response. "That doesn't explain why you hid that from me." He said to him. "If they managed to recruit her, what were you planning to do about our deal?"
Yang stood up and looked confused. "You never told me that either, why didn't you tell me they were looking for her?" She almost sounded like she was on Kron's side.
Ozpin really was going to have trouble explaining everything.
"I can explain everything, but please, allow me to restrain them if they get up they will try again and it may lure Raven by mistake." He explained and looked at Kron. "You wouldn't want that would you?"
Kron wanted to take down Ozpin right then and there. His instincts told him that he was plotting to betray him. His plan all along was to convince Raven to their side while he taught one of his students Ki and attempt to gang up on and kill him.
He squeezed his knuckles, he was about ready to take him down for manipulating him.
But then he glanced down at Qrow, remembering how he jumped the gun against him. He almost ended him because he thought he was tricking him. He looked at Yang who had an unsure expression on her face, she seemed to not know about Ozpin's plan.
Or is good at acting like her mother?
The Menagerie incident came to mind where he assumed that Kali had tried to trick him.
And how she had proven that she was nothing like her mother and was willing to fight him on her own.
He remembered that video Ozpin had shown him and how he almost made a mistake that almost cost him.
Whatever the case at least Yang was honoring their agreement. No, she has more than proven that she was not a trickster, not a manipulator like her mother.
He then looked back at Ozpin, he wanted to knock him out
But he also vowed to never jump the gun again, since it never really gotten him anything in the past.
"Whatever you have to say better be good Ozpin." He said to him and turned away.
"Kron?" Yang asked. "Wait," She said in an angry tone.
Kron turned to her and saw that she seemed angrier than usual.
"My uncle" She began as she stood within arm's length of him. "What he said, was it true? Did you try to kill him?"
The Saiyan looked down when she said that and sighed.
"Yes, I did." He admitted though it wasn't anything he was proud of. "I thought he was tryi-"
Yang slammed a fist across his face not caring at all for whatever he was trying to say next.
Ozpin was surprised at what he saw and pulled out his cane. Ready to assist her depending on how Kron would react to that strike.
Kron was caught off guard by it and so did not think to sway it.
She glared at him with a mix of anger and disappointment. "Never threaten my family again."
Normally Kron would find that appealing but in this case, he felt saddened seeing that look on her face. It looked like she was betrayed, that he like her mother stabbed her in the back.
"Leave" She demanded and walked towards her father and uncle.
Kron wanted to explain himself to her, but he felt uncomfortable hearing that tone. Feelings of shame resurfaced again similar to when he reunited with Blake thinking that she wanted revenge.
But what's the use? Whatever reason he had were just excuses. He turned away and used superspeed to vanish from sight.
The headmaster was surprised at the exchange, he expected him to react in anger. But that face, he made, it seemed to be one of sadness, that he lost a friend he had gained after spending most of his life alone. He thought he never said anything about his encounter with Qrow to either her or Ruby.
He also made note of his reaction to knowing he kept so much hidden from him about Raven, in the past, he would have beaten or maybe even killed him for seemingly breaking the deal. He hasn't but it's easy to mistake that he did given the context.
He looked at Yang who seemed to be giving him a hesitant look.
"You never told me he tried to kill my uncle," Yang said to him sadly, disappointed in him for keeping something so important from him. "Why?
The Scourge wasn't the only one who felt guilt at his actions. She had a right to know and shouldn't have kept this detail hidden from her either Especially after he asked her to keep this secret from her father and uncle.
He thought that if he told her, she wouldn't have accepted the deal and try to take him down. She likely would have if she didn't truly understand how strong he is.
"Miss Xaio-Long, I am sorry that I kept all this from you, but it was not without reason." He said. "Go to your dorm, you can see me tomorrow and I will explain everything."
Yang watched as Ozpin placed the Aura suppressors on Taiyang's arms.
"Fine but let me help my family.."
"Of course." He said to her as he walked to Qrow.
Yang grabbed her father and held him in her arms.
"Sorry Dad, I hope we can clear things up tomorrow." Hard to say how she was going to have a hard time trying to explain why Kron wasn't as bad as many made him out to be. And she needed to find out why he was going after Raven without telling her. Summer was her mom but she had a right to know about her birth mother too. She shouldn't have had to hear about her from someone else.
She looked at Ozpin wondering if he really did plan to betray Kron. He didn't did he?
She was so angry at Kron for trying to take away someone she loved and kept it to himself when she thought they were becoming friends.
Raven was one thing, she'd done so much wrong that she couldn't justify her actions even if she wanted to.
But her uncle? Her uncle was a huntsman and trained her and her sister to do their best.
And knowing that she and Kron seemed to becoming friends all the while he kept this secret from her. It made her feel stupid to think that she could see any good in him at all.
But she stopped and thought of Blake and Weiss. He could have left them to die, but he didn't. No there was good in him.
And yet she still can't accept that he tried to kill her uncle and that she kept it from her.
It made her wonder if she could really trust Kron after all. What if Raven doesn't show up? Will she kill her and then go for her uncle and father?
She sighed and shook her head.
She can figure out all this tomorrow she better get her father to the Beacon infirmary, she'll get her answers tomorrow.
And then she can decide if she can trust Kron or not after all.
If not, will she even have a choice in what to do about him?
Kron's Home
Kron landed in front of his home and walked inside.
As he did he glanced back toward where Ozpin was, the urge to go there and teach him the follies of tricking him was as strong as ever. Just like when he fought Team RWBY thinking Yang had tried to trick him and use Blake as a shield.
Though this felt closer to the truth.
But wait, he thought of something else.
When Glynda tried to kill him. Of course, if Ozpin's plan was to kill him by teaming up with Raven, then he would've accomplished his goal right there. He hadn't taught Yang how to fly yet or about focusing her Ki into a true attack but still, it was enough to understand the basics. If he was going to kill him then that would have been his opportunity.
Ok, so the plan wasn't to kill him. But still, he was lying to his subordinates, about their family. So what could he be keeping from him?
He squeezed his fists all these questions he can ask tomorrow, it makes no sense to answer tomorrow.
He walked into his house and sighed mentally exhausted at the surprises.
Once he removed his ruined jacket and shirt he laid down in bed.
Mentally exhausted at everything.
And on top of what Ozpin was doing behind his back, his thoughts drifted to Yang. That look she gave him, he always thought Blake or Kali would give him that look back before he met Blake again.
Though part of Kron, was glad that she seemed to hate him, it would motivate her to get stronger.
Still, somehow he still had that same uncomfortable feeling he held for years when he thought of what he did to the Belladonna family and how they would look at him if he ever came back.
Though from what Blake had said, and Yang had pointed out Kali had wanted to see him again and did not fear him.
Now though after somehow growing fond of Yang of all people it felt like Menagerie all over again where his choices cost him people he developed to care for.
He was wondering if Yang would even want to continue their deal.
If that happens and she refuses their deal as promised he'll knock her out and take out Raven then and there.
Though thinking of that look she had given him made him wonder if he had the heart to do it anymore.
After thinking of all this he drifted to sleep deciding that these were problems to solve the next day.
A rift seems to be growing after two months of Kron and Yang forming a bond.
What will this mean for the future of their deal.
And will Raven find Vernal before their deal concludes?
Find out next time on One's Own Path!
Just when Kron was starting to make friends his actions come back to haunt him again.
It was gonna happen sooner or later, the fact that Kron was willing to kill Qrow over a misunderstanding was going to come up sooner or later, we'll see how this goes.
It was fun writing Kron's fight and I used suggestions from a couple of you guys who I will thank and give credit to in the review responces.
Anyway, again like I said above, expect more week to week updates until we reach a certain part, then I will take my usual two weeks off and then add until we reach the end of the arc and have a hiatus until the next.
Hope u look forward to it!
Review Responces
Yang ideaz: I had my own ideas how to evolve Yang's Semblance but I gotta admit this was cooler than I was thinking of.
I will definitely consider doing this in the future, and give you credit for it thank u so much for the ideas and hope your enjoying the story.
yesandnocause: It has been explained throughout the story why he get's hit a lot I will summarize it here.
1. Kron's fighting style has very little defense and leaves openings. It was established in Ch 27 and has remained constant.
2. Kron has always held back, its how he makes the fights as fun as he can even though none are his equal.
3. Kron has had a non stop winstreak, it makes him feel less motivated to try so hard in a fight and not show his true skill. To make the fight feel even.
I hope you understand why Kron gets hit a lot now. To discuss it further I'd be willing to through Private Messaging if your up for it.
halo 69: Hope u enjoyed the fight.
That would be quite the twist, have Raven lose her power Kron fights her but doesn't get the fight he wants and might lose his motivation to contine the fight. It's not a bad side effect and could explain why Ozpin didn't trap Salem with it. Good theory.
As for removing Aura it's still not a bad guess either, Aura and Ki are somewhat related their different forms of energy but there are a few differences between the two that will be further explored in this story. If Raven loses both Aura and Ki, Kron would probably be bored beyond belief, ironically that might save her if that were the case which is weird to think about.
ThatSaiyaguy: Thank you, Yang wanted to and would have but she was too suprised and having trouble processing everything. Ad for Glynda let's hope she doesn't encounter Eclipse, otherwise she might not survive that.
The visions do come and go it depends how long you've been in the void vault and the regrets you have. They may come and go but it'll be awhile before their comepletely gone. As for them getting stronger after overcoming the trauma possibly, Ozpin did design the Void Vault to push huntsman to be strong enough to keep up with magic users in his time not just Maiden level but his magic at his prime but it might take time.
Interesting theory, thing to remember is think of the Artifacts as weaker versions of the Relics. The artifacts are strong and arguably more usable than the Relics but they cannot undo whatever magic the gods can do nor out do the abilites of the Relics. That includes Ozma's 'Gift' to reincarnate so it can't kill him permanately but your other theories are interesting and possible.
As for a monster already sealed inside it, that'd be crazy, like some kind of Grimm monster that got even stronger than Salem. That'd be funny if Raven went through the trouble to use it on Kron only to release another monster that's actually a monster.
It was one reason I was looking forward to writing Kron meeting Yang, their both victims of Raven in one way or another and both have surrogate mothers that cared for them more than their actual mothers. Technically Raven had the chance twice to be mother with Kron but got too scared and too greddy of Kron's power.
All I'm gonna say is were close to Raven finding Vernal and when that happens shit is going to hit the fan.
Hope this chapter was worth the wait!
Bashleyz: Thank you, I have PM'd you but it's been established that in this story Aura is Remnantian exclusive power to give them something unique to other species.
Eddyg125: Saw this coming? And yeah, Kron's issue with training is he doesn't have motivation since no one can really beat him in a fair fight, don't worry though he will get motivation at some point. As for coming back to bight him, well, we'll see.
Kensanders: They were going to make it home at some point.
Since Raven showed up for Yang when Neo was about to kill her I would say that her Semblance can only active when her links are either nearly dead or in danger. Kron has learned to be a bit more chill over his time with team RWBY lucky for them.
Ozpin might not have done his best move with this one but at the same time, he didn't have many options when Kron offered it.
And yeah, Taiyang and even Qrow have a soft spot for Raven despite what she's done. And Yang hasn't even met her and she keeps hearing different stories of her mother. Poor girl all this could've been avoided if Raven ever used her Semblance to visit her at least once.
Guest: I actually forgot that detail, I watched V9 to. Thank u for reminding me. And don't worry I'm pretty committed to not do any transformations before we go to space. We're not going to Super Saiyan for awhile. Thank u for giving your two cents.
keybladelight: Rest assured Kron is just having fun. And yeah you called it Kron can appreciate anyone that can show that they got warrior spirit like he did with Yang who couldn't even make him bleed.
Lelouch of Zero: The Void Vault can wear off over time though no one lived long enough to make it happen the first time Ozpin used it. Hopefully this time it'll happen. Kron is finally having friends, it only took 12 years lol. I'm glad your enjoying their interactions.
Lol, I mean Vernal had done her share of wrong, not as much as Raven but still she has this coming.
Well Kron's mother was a low class warrior and so her power level would be in the hundreds maybe a couple thousand, so Kron definitely can't compete with her just yet.
His father Neab on the other hand maybe. He didn't do much training, he's supposed to be what if Kron stayed on Planet Vegeta. While he didn't do any training he did endure 10x earth's gravity for decades, so he might still be stronger than Kron. That's up for debate really.
Yang's the type to interfere if anyone she cares about are going through a tough time, she's kinda the mom of the group. Due to her not wanting to be like Raven.
Kron could not resist a good game of fisticuffs, especially if their strong enough to make him bleed. Thank u for reviewing as usual.
Ruenion: Possibly, though if Ozpin can use it he'd probably just reincarnate. As for the power up for the last chapter, aw man, I knew I forgot something lol.
Hope you enjoyed their reaction. Lol your idea was too funny to pass on that, funny thing is Tai already suspected that hope I did it right. And thank u for the idea your ideas are always appreciated.
AlejandroDiaz: Ooh, maybe, thx for the idea, I'll see if I can make that happen, who knows.
Guest: I guess u can see it that way, hope uenjoyed this at least half as much as that fight. This is basically a warm up before the end of this long arc, I hope it will be worth the wait.
Oh hey, good to see your still here. U can always make a name when u review, unless your reviewing from your phone to make it easier to identify you. But if u do get an account fill free to send private messages to me if u got any ideas or concerns for my story, I like to listen to everyone's ideas to make the story better.
Kamencolin: Lol! I didn't think of that, that's so true! Good job pointing that out.
triscythe59: Loved for the idea hope u liked it.
Alright guys that is everything, hope u guys liked the chapter let me know if u got any suggestions a lot of ideas in this story were not my own and I'm open to see if I can add your ideas in my story.
Have an awesome day! :)
