(Blake Belladonna-POV)
"So mother, have you made A choice. Or do you want to think on it?" she asked, sitting on the couch in her mother's room. She, along with the clone of her soon to be husband Kron, Weiss and Winter sat with them. Kali, her mother was very surprised seeing her back alive and then the chaos that followed regarding Kron, him making clones of himself before vanishing. She was A strong woman though; it was partly where she got her own strength from and knew that Kron was somehow able to 'keep his promise'.
"...Yes, I'll come. I suppose you're going to need to know what has happened, with your father and the last decade or so here with... ask away." she spoke, looking glum for A minute before her eyes hardened and Blake swore it was like looking in the mirror. Blake wanted to know A few things so, having the floor, she asked what became of their old friends from Beacon.
"...From what I know, your old comrades from Beacon have since graduated, been years in actuality. When Ki-knowledge became shared to all, every hunting school began adding said knowledge to their curriculum. 'Your' fight with that… invader and his army are highly used as A case study for its usage." she said, the last few sentences directed at Kron who nodded, his right arm wrapped around Blake.
After A tense amount of talking, back and forth between herself, Kron and her mother they had learned much of what has happened since their own deaths almost two decades ago. Weiss and Winter were pretty pissed, downright frothing at the mouth with what had happened to Atlas, their family and they wanted to deal with it right this instant. Kron, stood before he spoke.
"Right, will have to find Raven and then head back to Earth and deal with 'that' problem first. Since you're coming along, go and get packed, Blake helps her with it."
"And what about our family, our mother and brother in Atlas." Weiss said, almost snarling to which Kron seemed unfazed and replied immediately, Blake and Kali left the room and she found that her mother was mostly living out of A few suitcases, what she managed to take with her when Menagerie was seized by the White Fang.
"I'll take these mother-" Blake said, trying to help out her mother but she shook her head.
"-I can't let A pregnant girl do it, leave me something." she said, smiling and Blake responded.
"I'm Fine, I'm not that long anyway as far as this pregnancy goes. You're going to like Earth, from what I've seen, there isn't any racism and no Grimm." Kali laughed lightly and replied to her.
"The Grimm haven't been much of A problem since after the alien invasion, but I'm looking forward to it. Your… Kron… are you happy? Them other girls, does he satisfy-"
"-Yes Mom, very. the relationship is uh, very unorthodox but I'm alight sharing. His stamina is off the charts uh- you properly don't want to hear about it like that huh..." she blushed at her mother's look.
(Yang Xiao Long-POV)
She sat in A dumpster of A bar, sitting across from her mother. Raven looked no older than her photo of her. Hell, she looked much younger than uncle Qrow. It made sense since from what her mother… Raven told her, she had been dead for ten or so years and even that was hard to believe at best. When she told her that Kron had also found A way to bring not just her, but Blake and Weiss too she felt A spark of excitement. He friends, alive and now on Remnant even if younger at least physically than herself. Though at the moment, her aggressive side shown through while Raven spoke, and Yang listened through gritted teeth.
"-I'll be leaving this planet soon; A much higher calling awaits me plus there's the bonus that I'm not wanted by the authorities on Remnant, dead or not. Seeing as I have told me about where I have been, you can tell me how you've been doing." she drunk from her glass and then gazed at Yang, her eyes never straying from her face.
"Never mind about me, I want to know three things from you. I've since given up on ever meeting you and from what Qrow and father told me, there's not much I want to know. But, if I have to know something… did you ever love me or was I just A mistake." she asked, her eyes remaining on Ravens as she looked away, to her glass before looking up. Sighing, she answered without removing eye contact.
"...You've had A better mother all along, I've been too blinded by my fear, fear of A woman you no longer need fear yourself. I can't say if… besides from watching over you from afar, I gave you up, it was that or kill your father to take you to the clan I used to live in and I couldn't do that. That's all you're going to get out of me, I can't love you, I barely know what love is with how I've been raised up-" Yang interrupted her, waving A hand as she took A swig of Alcohol.
"-that's alright, even expected actually. Qrow hasn't exactly painted you in A good light from stories of your past, him telling me about you. I'll-" Yang stood, and Raven did so too, looking uncertain. She told the truth and Yang felt, bitter almost but she was here now. Even if love or familial bonds were not in the picture, she could see Raven's hesitant look as she watched her move around. Yang stepped back from the table, downing her beer in A swallow and looked up.
"You might as well tell me where Weiss and Blake are-" Yang was more interest in seeing her friends again. She wasn't sure about her mother though but as the elder woman downed her remaining alcohol in her glass, Raven spoke as she sighed.
"-I can take you, right now. Kron is also there too. You'll have to thank-" Kron? right, he must be somewhere around here, or around them. Handsome as he is, Yang wasn't sure about him what with his lies and getting her friends killed in the first place. Plus, the results of leaving all that technology around for Remnant to take which made things boring in terms of Grimm and stoked the flames of war with Atlas wanting to conquer the rest of the kingdoms. Growling, Kron needed A kick up the backside before she would forgive him.
"-I'll kick his ass! he's one of the Planet Trade bastards, they've, the scientists had released information on that organization from what information was left over after he killed them all off, from those captured ships logs and all that." huffing, Raven spoke up, smirking before doing so.
"You'd have A much easier time fighting against Winter than him. Your right that he's an alien and whatever species of alien he is, they are built for fighting. You might as well try and fight me, I'll show you just what I've been losing to, my sword.... I have no need of it so be grateful I don't take it back off your hands." she said and turned around, flickering her hair as A portal opened up in front of her. The red energy-like portal flickered in front of them, and Raven turned back around.
"Come, take my hand. Let's go meet your old friends, I've got training I need to do and getting to know you aside, I'd rather get back home-" Yang looked confused by that statement and replied to her questioningly.
"-Home? Where the hell is home, you are home though, oh right... this Earth place." she said, Raven turned again, right hand extended as Yang too hold before smirking lightly as she begun to speak just one word.
"Earth."
((CLONE)Kron-POV)
I waited with the woman, to take them back to Earth. Answering Weiss about her mother and brother, I said that the original me would deal with it when he was finished with the Ginyu force and that she will bring them to her later. Winter wanted to help, not with Earth as that could be dealt with Weiss and Ravens help, Blake too when her pregnancy was up if she was feeling it though I and the original would feel better if she needed bother and looked after their child. Blake and Kali were done, and they came back into the lounge. I glanced their way as Blake spoke.
"Where ready-" Raven's portal had opened again as she… and yang stepped out of it. Yang seen me and her eyes went from their purple color to red. Ravens hand landed on her shoulder and then the portal closed. The other clone must have dispelled itself. Blake and Weiss along with yang whose eyes left mine and turned to her friends, long time coming as they approached each other. Yang, unlike the original's Kron's lovers, had aged into A grown woman, her hair was tied in A ponytail and much shorter than last the original saw her.
"Weiss, Blake… I-" she shut up quick and advanced on Weiss, hugging her which the surprised Schnee returned before doing the same to Blake. Kali and Winter looked on with smiles of their own while Raven looked on, A small smile she had before she noticed me looking and scowled instead.
"Are, you two staying… my mother-… Raven isn't. She's been telling me of this Earth." Yang said and Raven approached me, I looked at her as she led me away from them three and near to Kali and the bedroom where Blake and Kali came out before from.
"Hey, I'm ready to go back. I'd honestly do not want to hang around here any longer and talk to my brother, Ozpin or… him and Qrow will no doubt tell him-" I thought of who this 'him' was, but I realized it must be her ex-husband, Tai.
"-Tell who, what your scared of someone else." I asked, seeing if she would tell me but she just scoffed, sighing as she turned around and took A seat on the bed.
"Ugh, just hurry up. Take me and… her while the 'kids' have their talk. Since You're a clone, I need not bother with you. We can even spar together until you disappear." she pointed at Kali and then I spoke up, ignoring Raven.
"I'll take these two with me then, get Kali settled and come right back." I said and bid Kali hold my hand. Raven tensed, grabbing my arm roughly and we vanished, reappearing inside Winter's villa.
(Krillin-POV)
Flying towards the city, he got hold of Tien and Chiaotzu easily enough and Launch was there with him, so he handed off the phone once he finished speaking with Tien. Currently, he was flying towards the stadium where Yamcha should be, playing his baseball game he loved… or loathed to play in order to make money for himself and Puar.
"Hmm… well, that looks like it down there…" he said, gazing down at the stadium and then his eyes caught sight of A ball being sent up in the air, whizzing past some clouds. Krillin landed on the pitch and bore witness to A scrap between both teams. Yamcha was easily defeating both his and the opposite team in A rumble that took over the pitch and field. Krillin approached him, taking heed as multiple players tried to punch him.
"Hey Yamcha, I need to speak with you. Man, would it hurt you to keep your phone on you bro." he said, Yamcha got to his feet in surprise at seeing him there and responded, that same surprise laced every word.
"Hey Krillin, what's up dude, what are you doing here man. Here to see me play huh?" Yamcha looked pretty upbeat for his arrival, Krillin snorted, giving the baseball player A once over before sighing… he'd have to be the one to tell him then. Krillin motioned him out of the field and to find somewhere where they could chat in A quieter setting. They headed for the entrance to the field, the tunnel which the players would use to enter the field and Krillin explained the situation.
"Not all is well Yamcha, the truth is I'm terrified, I'll start off first by saying that Goku is dead." he said, frowning as he said each word and watched as his friend went from happy to see him to shocked and even saddened by the news really quick. Yamcha responded.
"Dude, but… how? When? What happened Krillin, bro. Make sense please." he spoke.
"Goku held this Saiyan at bay, the tail was his weakness which Goku knew how to exploit. Piccolo delivered the finishing blow and killed them both. But don't be too worried Yamcha, remember that the dragon balls can be used for Goku." he explained, even with the dragon balls, losing A friend almost made Krillin upset in bringing it up again. Yamcha looked devastated by the news.
"Your right, huh… still though… So, if this Saiyan is dead, why haven't you gone after the dragon balls yet and wished for Goku yet, I'm sure your about to tell me bro." Yamcha gritted out, wiping his forehead of the sweat and looked at Krillin seriously to which Krillin quickly responded.
"Right, so that's why I have come. It be better to explain when everyone has met at Korin's tower which is why I came here. To pick you up. Bulma should be along sometime, she said she would be parked out at the front." Krillin said and Yamcha's eyes narrowed at Bulma's name mentioned. Both of them are hot heads.
"This way." Krillin said, seeing Bulma out in the street Krillin noticed Yamcha had slowed to A crawl, figures…
(Kron-POV)
With one of my clones dispelling after taking Kali and Raven back to Earth, I knew what was happening on Remnant. Currently though, having finished with Ginyu and his practice he deems important I was heading towards the barracks to enquire if there would be another mission, making sure I sounded eager, if not then I would head back to earth and leave A clone here. Seeing some of the members sparing in the barracks training area, walking past as I could see Ginyu polishing his armor and scouter. He spat onto the lens of his scouter before noticing my footsteps and turned around to look my way.
"Ah, what Kron." Ginyu said while he looked to be polishing his armor and boots.
"Are we going on A mission boss? any pirate hunting jobs or?" I asked, trying to sound eager for one but the purple-colored captain shook his head.
"Not now, Lord Frieza might have A mission in A year or two but at the moment, no. Your authorized to continue your training though stay on the planet. Frieza is concerned about something to do with… Vegeta or his little pack of monkeys not yet reporting in... heh, no offense subordinate. You don't know anything about that do you, no communications with any of them." he asked, and I smirked.
"No, haven't seen them for A while, last I heard they went on A purging job. Last one of them I seen was Raditz and that wasn't too long ago." he looked at me carefully, before concentrating on his cleaning, while replying.
"You were last seen with that long haired fellow, yeah. The camera's picked you and him last in the mess hall. Whatever job they were on, it wasn't sanctioned by lord Frieza and now they have left transmitting and communication range for now but word is that They are not out of range but their scouter's have been turned off." Ginyu spoke and waved me off, spitting onto one of his pauldrons of his armor while he continued to polish it and my disgust was unable to remain hidden. Ginyu saw this and smirked, waving me off to which I left quickly.
Moving to the bathroom, I entered A stall and made sure no cameras were around, by charging my ki in my hand and using the energy gathered as A sort of electric charge which flickered randomly, and I was worried for nothing. Using tri-form, I created another clone of myself and spoke to myself.
"You stay here, I'll be going to find Piccolo. That one needs A training montage if he wants to succeed in catching up to the rest who've trained together." I took off my scouter and handed it over to the clone who placed it in the same way I had it before.
"Sure, get going." myself had said neutrally, smirking at the end. I disappeared and appeared on Earth, Winter's Villa. I guess one of my clones had taken back Raven and Kali too, leaving the others on Remnant. I, looking down at my right hand knew that I might cause Piccolo to attack me on sight, he would come to the right conclusion that I am A Saiyan and working with the same group Raditz was.
"Might as well see him, he being the weakest- or… or I could wait until the last week before Vegeta and Nappa arrive and take Piccolo into the hyperbolic time chamber. That way he could get A year's worth, and I'll be able to train much more efficiently in the denser parts of that pocket dimension. That is, first I would have to convince him." yeah, that might just be what he needed to get him stronger, if he survived against the Saiyan's in the fight to come, they would still need to go find other dragon ball's and if he still died well…
"...shit will still happen in A similar way." I said, I looked up to the sky and saw the moon. The instant adrenaline that hit had me floored and I knew that now would be A good time to meet with Piccolo. The blutz waves hit me but I resisted the urge to transform and blasted off, heading in A area to the east where I felt A strong power fluctuating.
The roars gave me an easy trail to find Piccolo and Gohan was there too of course, I couldn't miss the infant great ape currently blowing up the landscape. I could then see Piccolo launch A yellow-colored ki-blast towards the move. I afterimaged in front and knocked it aside as if knocking A fly out of my face.
"Who the hell are-" The berserk Gohan roared and took A blast towards me with his mouth agape, the beam hit my extended hand and detonated on impact, engulfing me in an explosion of bright purple light, the blast would have blasted me into the ground but instead I was unfazed by the attack. The rampaging Gohan could be heard still as the dust settled and Piccolo attempted to launch another blast at the moon, but I knocked that one way too.
"Tsk Tsk… don't do that again, I want to fight you, but first let me put the brat to sleep." afterimaging, I landed A calculated strike into Gohan's abdomen while holding back and watched smiling as the rampaging gorilla fall to his knees in pain, tears forming in the great ape's eyes before he was out cold.
"You, get down here now before I put you to sleep also." Piccolo heard me and cautiously landed far off from me but close enough so that we could talk. The Oozeru behind me, that of Gohan remained knocked out and I smiled at the man in front of me.
"Who are you- grr! A Saiyan! But we have more time-" Piccolo suddenly looked worried; the memories fresh in fighting Raditz must have spooked him when he seen me... probably.
"-But I'm here, and you my friend are the weakest fighter on the planet, who matters anyway… And I'm much stronger than the Saiyan you and your allies had been able to defeat." He grimaced, narrowing his eyes as he barred his teeth, responding with anger laced in his words.
"I said, who are you. We were told that the Saiyan's would arrive later in A year's time and yet-" I responded by afterimaging into his range and punching him in the gut, hard enough to send him to his knees though not enough to knock him out. I responded while he was on the ground, while he could shut up and listen. Lying down on the ground, tail tied around my waist as Piccolo dry heaved on the floor, I spoke.
"You're going to need some training, good thing I have no intention of killing you nor your people. I've got better things I could be doing, like procreating but… here I am. At your service." I spoke and he grunted out, at last able to find his voice though he still couldn't rise yet.
"W-Why would you want to help train me. I D-Don't even know who you are, much less your intentions." he finally was able to come up onto his ass and glared at me. He looked at me, now that he could see my face much clearer from the moon now shining down directly upon me, the clouds now out of the way.
"You're not Goku, no... your eyes are more dangerous looking… now for the last time-" Piccolo grit out, the stubborn Namekien continued to try and goad questions from me, talk about being annoying.
"My name is Kron… green man, and I'm A Saiyan of A different caliber. I'm here to alleviate one of my more direct mistakes. Suffice to say, your too weak to refuse my offer. Simply put, I want you to focus on training up the brat over there and in return… I believe you know or have heard of the Hyperbolic time chamber, right?" I questioned, seeing if he had knowledge from before his and Kami's split, King Piccolo and Kami I meant.
"...Kami must know something; I've heard of it. Tell me what it is and why I should trust your word." Piccolo asked, now finding the strength to stand back up as he regarded me in suspicion.
"Trust is earned yeah, so in order to build up some 'trust' I'll assist you whenever there is A full moon out, that Saiyan needs to be taught to be able to wield his power. I can help with his transformation ability. Observe." I afterimaged further out and took in the sight of the moon, letting myself transform, my size increased to match Gohan still knocked out and I had to reign in my increased power as I have always kept it but times ten.
"Now, let me wake the brat up. You may train yourself during this… ordeal." walking to the brat, thundering along the earth as I approached the Oozeru which, Gohan begun to stir and roar at me in challenge.
