Chapters Time and Death go hand and hand
“Attention maggots! Wake up and gather in the auditorium for roll call,” A voice said over a speaker josling Crescendo and her siblings awake.
“Come on let's go,” Crescendo said gently nudging Stardust to her hooves,while Cosmic got to his hooves by himself.
Crescendo then walked down halls,with Star and Cosmic following close behind. They soon met up with other foals who were also trying to find the auditorium. They walked in silence until they come across the hallway that was labed Auditorium.
“Well I guess this is it,” A colt around Crescendo age, with a brown coat and white mane, said looking at the sign.
“Maybe we’ll find out why we’re here,” A filly with a blue coat and pinks mane said.
“What do you think?” the colt asked turning to Crescendo.
“M-Me?” Crescendo asked flustered as she took a step back,causing her siblings to squeak and scuttle,Stardust almost falling down, back so they could continue to hide behind her.
“Yes you,so? Do you think we’ll find out why we’re here,” The colt asked getting close to her face.
“Um well I, I d-don’t really know,” She said shyly, now unable to step back for fear of startling her younger siblings again.
“Hey! what's your deal?” The colt asked giving her a glare.
“Back off Stone not everyone is as open as you,” The filly said.
“Yea but she doesn't have to stutter so much Cotten,” The colt said looking frustrated.
“She’s shy and probably scared out of her mind, like we all should be,but you’re just too stupid to realize our situation,” Cotten said returning the glare with one of her own,causing the colt to shrink back a bit.
“Ok sorry sheesh,” the colt said as Crescendo took this opportunity to bolt past them,before scooping up her sister in her mouth by her neck fluff and levitating her brother onto her back.
“Wait hold up!” Stone out to Cress,but she was already down the hall and dashing out into a huge room with hundreds chairs many of them already filled with foals around Cress’s age or younger.
“Look at all the ponies cwensenso!” Cosmic said looking around in shock.
“Yea lets go find seat away from everypony else,” Cress said after gently putting Star back on her hooves.
“Don’t talk to swangers,” Star recited.
“Exactly,” Cress said walking down the rows of seats to a secluded part the auditorium.
“Ok, we shouldn’t be bothered over here,” Cress said sitting down in a chair while Star cuddle up to her,and Cosmic sat in the chair next to her.
After a few minutes one of those monsters in the black armour,this one having gold highlights on his armour, came out on a panel in the wall and was now looking around at all the foals in the chairs.
“Listen up! because I'm only going to say this once,”The monster said, “You now serve Doctor Ivan, in exchange for you meaningless lives you will train you bodies every day so that they will be strong enough for the doctors tests,”
“What are these tests?” a white haired colt with a black coat asked standing up.
“You when know when you need to know,” the monster snapped, “Now you will now head down to the head to the simulation room,if your late you will die, that is all,” The monster said before walking through the wall panel.
“Come on let's go, we don't want to make them mad,” Star said nudging her siblings up and walking back to the hallway and following the group of foals that seemed to know where they were going.
They ended up in a large white room and soon there were ton of foals in the room,but nowhere enough to fill up the room.
“So what are we doing here? What’s a simulation?” one of the foals asked.
None of the foals had an answer and so they sat in silence for a few minutes ,before a large hologram popped where the all the foal could see.
The hologram said, “Test subjects remaining:499”
“It-its keeping count of how many of us there are left!?” Cotton said in shock as she walked next to Cress and her siblings.
“That’s creepy,” Stone said looking unseasy as he joined them.
“Yea,” Cress said looking at the hologram cringing.
Suddenly the white room changed to a large track field,and a voice spoke over the speaker, “You will now proceed to run around this track for the set time,”
The hologram then added a clock that displayed:15:00.
“15 minutes!?” One of foal said in dismay.
“Failure to comply will result in termination,collapsing from exhaustion will end in termination,anything that is not assisting in you continually crossing the starting line until the timer clocks out,will result in termination,” The voice said finishing.
“Anything that doesn't help them pass the starting line huh?” Cress said getting an idea and turning to her siblings, “You two won't be able to run for that long but I can, so hop on my back,”
“Ok cwesenso!” Star said jumping onto her back with Cosmic close behind her.
With her siblings now draped on her back perpendicular to her own body,she took her place at the starting line and waited for the time to start. During the wait she noticed that other eldest siblings had the same idea as her, draping their siblings on their backs so they wouldn’t have to risk them collapsing from exhaustion.
“Ok here we go,” Cress said looking forward in determination as the timer hit zero and everyone was off.
Cress kept a steady pace trying to run the slowest she could and it still be considered a run. All the while,unbeknownst to the foals, the black armoured monster was watching them from a secret perch that looked over the room ,with a smile.
“I see willing to take the extra weight to protect your siblings eh? Respectable, lets see how well that works for you little ponies,” He chuckled before the wall opened up behind him and the doctor stepped out of it with the black cloaked figures behind him.
“I like the purple one,she’ll be quite lovely when she blossoms,” The doctor said referring to Crescendo.
“She was also the first to discover the loophole my lord,” the black armoured being said.
“Oh,is that true Sitou?” The doctor asked in surprise.
“Yes, my lord,” the monster said nodding.
“Hmm perhaps she will be more than a future concubine,” the doctor said walking back where he came from.
“If she doesn’t end up dead first,”The monster said once the doctor left,before returning his attention to the foal and seeing that a few of them have collapsed.
“Oh boy,sniping practice!” the monster laughed before firing his sniper rifle and killing the exhausted foals.
Back with crescendo
Cress.jumped in surprise as three loud bangs were heard and she gave the hologram a quick look it now reading:496 with 13 minutes left. She felt her siblings grip her tightly in fear as she continued to run around the track. For the next 13 minutes five more foals died due to their inability to keep up,and Cress began to feel her legs to give out,but she powered though it barely making it through the last minute and collapsing as the timer ended and the alarm sounded.
As she hit the ground Cosmic and Star quickly jumped of her back and tried their best to get her to her hooves.
“Don't get killedded by the booms!” Star sobbed trying her best to help her exhausted sister.
“Hey its over now they would have killed me by now if it wasn’t” Cress said giving them a weak smile as she laid on the ground panting,her sweat soaking her fur.
“Ok,”Star sniffed as she cuddled up to Cress with Cosmic.
“Attention Maggots you are to head to cafeteria for substance ,failure to comply will result in termination,” the voice commenced again.
“Come on purps let's get out of here,” Stone said walking up and grabbing Cress in his magic and putting her on his back.
“Thanks Stone,my name’s Crescendo by the way,” Cress said blushing in embarrassment.
“Crescendo huh? I’m gonna call ya Cressy,” Stone said as Cosmic ran up to Stone.
“No! I’ll carry big sissy!” Cosmic said puffing up his fur to make himself look bigger.
Stone looked at him in surprise for a second, before laughing and patting his head.
“Sorry kid your to small to carry your big sis,” Stone laughed before walking past him with Star in tow.
“Come on Cosmoc let’s go!” Star said waddling after Stone.
The cafeteria was extremely basic just like the food, just common fruits and vegetables. After that day the foals were set in a routine of jogging on the track,studying several different subjects all of them related to war in someway,such as sabotage and lip reading,and combat training. This carried on for three years and many foals were killed off either by failing a test,refusing to cooperate,or collapsing in one the exercise routines. The current number of foals remaining is four hundred and forty-five.
Cress was talking with Star and Cosmic as they walked down the hallway to the simulation room.
“I still can’t believe we’ve been here for three years it feels so much longer,” Cress said shaking her head sadly.
“Yea it fuckin blows” Cosmic sighed.
“Excuse me? Who taught you to say that?!” Cress said grabbing Cosmics ear in her magic.
“S-sorry sorry! I heard it from Stone, please let go of my ear sis!” Cosmic said trying to pull out of her grip.
“Looks like I'm going to have a talk with Stone,” Cress said storming into the simulation room and towards Stone who realized too late how angry she was as he waved at her before getting slapped.
“Ow what was that for?” Stone asked giving her a confused puppy look.
“You need to watch your mouth around by little brother,” Cress snarled,and even though Cress was much shorter than Stone he still shrunk under her glare.
“What do you mean?” He asked in confusion.
“I just caught him using profanity!” Cress glared.
Stone gave her a look, “Seriously everypony cusses nowadays,”
“Yea sis I’m 11, I can cuss,” Cosmic spoke up ,before folding back his ears as he had earned a silencing glare from Cress.
“I don’t care if everypony is doing it,my siblings are not everypony and we are going to preserve what little dignity we have, if you want cuss then fine,but don't do it in earshot of my little brother ever again or buck your face so hard you wont be able to see straight for a week!” Cress said before walking away with huff.
“Sheesh you sister has become a bit of a bi-” Stone began before Cress turned to him her eyes glowing red and her body surrounded in a demonic aura, “Bi-beautiful and charming young mare,” he said with a big fake smile,which made Cress smirk in satisfaction as Star and Cosmic bounded after her.
“Maggots!” the monster ,that due to their studies they now identify as sangheili, said over the speakers.
“Bitch!” a white haired colt with a black coat said back to it,causing almost everyone present to erupt in laughter,except Crescendo who took out a notebook and added the colt’s name,lighting bolt, to the list.
Suddenly several large metal boxes rose from the ground.
“Today you will be taking a survival exam you will be divided into teams of four,you may choose your team members, you will then select a primary,secondary,and close quarters weapon as well as any projectile based explosives you wish,you may also choose body armour if you wish, you have fifteen minutes to prepare before the mission begins,” The sangheili said.
“And what is the mission,” Stone shouted.
“Kill or be killed, you must kill at least one team other team to survive if you do not you and your entire team will be terminated,” the sangheili said.
“Shit, I'll go get Cotton so we can all be on the same team,you guys go get ready!” Stone said running off.
“We-we’re gonna have to kill somepony!?” Star said looking horrified.
“So that's it,” Cress said sighing, “I suspected it,but this confirms it,”
“Confirms what sis?” Cosmic asked in worriedly.
“They're turning us into a soldiers of some kind,” Cress replied before walking up to one of the boxes which had several weapons on its rack. She grabbed a high tech assault rifle and energy pistol off the rack before grabbing tight fitting body armor putting it on, she then walked over to the melee weapon rack and served the options. A sword with a curved guard caught her eye until she saw a combat scythe.She grabbed it and folded it into its sheathed state,but before she could return to where her siblings were waiting ,they now also armed and ready, one of the sangheili appeared in front of her.
“What? What do you want?” she asked glaring at the warrior.
He then brought out a harness like device and handed it to her, “ A gift from my master,be grateful to have received his favor,”
“What is it?” she asked using her magic to observe the device.
“A energy harness it will create a energy shield to protect you from damage,in fact there is not a single weapon in this room that can damage you as long as you have this device,its state of the artand even better the harnesses honor guards of the covenant prophets,” he said.
“Why all the special treatment?” Cress asked.
“Like I said my master has taken interest in you,if you need anything requests they will be given to you as long as you continue to cooperate,” he said.
“If that's the case I'd like to make request,” Cress said putting on the harness.
“Oh?” the sangheili said in interest.
“I want my siblings to be exempt from this any future exercises that might put their lives in danger, if you do that then you can do as you please with me,” Cress said emotionlessly.
“Oh? So you've already figured it out,” the sangheili said looking impressed.
“I overheard something about the doctor and his concubines from a pair of guards,I've also been receiving risque novels for the past several months,so when you told me that he had taken interest in me, it all fell into place,” Cress said.
“I see,your quite sharp,” he said his mandible taking on what she could only assume was a grin.
“If there is one thing that's hammered into our heads during our studies,its gathered all the information you can when you can and pay attention to every detail,for that is where the answer to any puzzle is,”
“Your request is granted, the doctor will pleased,”the sangheili said disappearing suddenly.
Sundenly the other sanghelian said, “Attention,Stardust and Cosmic are now dismissed from this exercise, furthermore two ponies will terminated at random due the total of survivors no longer being perfectly divisible by four”
“Wait WHAT!!!” Cress said in shock as two shots rang out killing two foals, “No! I-I didn’t know they would…...DAMN IT!” Cress thought in anger.
“Why would they let Star and Cosmic go?” Stone asked coming up to her in full body armor,advanced DMR in his magic, energy pistol on his flank,and a great sword on his back.
“Yea that is weird, well at least you brother and your sister will be safe,” Cotton said,she was wearing camo armour and had high grade advanced sniper rifle on her back,with energy pistol on her flank,and collapsible staff on her belt, “Too bad about those foal’s though,but that's just our life now,”
“Yea I guess,but now we're down a-wait hold on why did you go get Cotton Stone? If you had we would have had five members!” Cress said in confusion.
“Huh what do you mean, it would have been your siblings,cotton,you,and me….oh that is five! My bad,” Stone said face hooving.
The girls giggled before the white haired colt from before walked up to them ,he wore heavy body armour, a tactical assault rifle on his back,he also had double bladed staff that seemed to be able separate into twin swords,.
“Hey you guys got room for one more?” The colt asked.
“Oh hey Lighting, yea sure” Cress said shrugging.
“Cool,thanks cressy,” Lighting said smiling.
“Cressy?.....” Cress asked in confusion, “I didn’t know we’re close enough for nicknames,”
“Were on the same team now,so let’s go out there and have fun!” he laughed.
“F-fun? Were going out there to kill other ponies!” Cress said.
“Oh don't think of like that,think of it like a game!” Lightning laughed.
“Ugh ,you disgusting ,whatever as long as you watch our backs, I don't care how your taking this,” Cress said sighing.
“Times up maggots! Commencing simulation!” The sangheili on the speaker said.
Suddenly the room shifted into a dense forest and the teams were teleported to separate parts of the map.
“Alright we need to find somewhere to lay down and wait,we need the enemy to come to us not the other way around,” Cotton said taking the lead.
“That's it huh? with a single order, ponies we've spent three years with are now are enemies” Cress thought solemnly, “Then let's get this over with,”
“Alright team move out!” Cotton said as they took took flight,but kept below the forest canopy.
Eventually they found a ideal place to set their trap. Lighting and Cress took positions on either side of the forest path,while Stone and Cotton took positions in the trees. Before long a group of four ponies walked down the center of the path.
“Come on Prism! Let's just fly over the canopy, no one would expect that!” one the fillies in the group whined.
“Look we ca-” Prism began before Cotton shot her in the head with her rifle, tears running down her cheeks as she looked down the sight.
“S-sorry Prism, but I have a little sister I need to get back too,” Cotton muttered under her breath.
“PRISM” the filly screamed before Lighting jumped out a crazed look on his face as he gunned her down.
“Die insects,” He laughed maniacally as the other two dashed ,behind the trees using them as cover.
“Sorry, nothing personal,” Cress said flinching as she attacked them from behind and shooting down one of them.
“Damn you assholes were waiting for us? We'll take this,” The last one said throwing a flash grenade blinding cress.
“Damn I can’t see!” she said backpedalling.
“What happened to your no cursing rule,” Stone asked headshotting the colt before he could hitt Cress with his mace.
“This whole thing has shown me that dignity has no place in this tartarus hole,” Cress snapped taking the ammo belt off the colt’s corpse her face downcast.
“That was fun who’s next,” Lighting giggled.
“We only need to kill one of the teams,if you wanna kill more do it yourself,now we just have to wait for the time limit to expire,” Cress snapped.
“Screw that I’m going to get more kills,” Lighting said grabbing the ammo and weapons off the corpses of the ponies and cutting off a piece of hair of the filly he killed, “Good luck losers!”
He flew off laughing madly.
“What a creep,” Cotton said in disgust.
“He’s just like him,” Cress said
“Like who?” Stone asked.
“The Doctor,”Cress growled.
The other nodded solemnly and they all went to hide in the trees. Soon the time was up and the hologram read two hundred and twenty.
“W-wait we lost more then we should have!” Cotton said in shock.
The simulation reverted back to a white room and several robots began taking the bodies out of the room. The trio then saw Lighting,covered in blood,walking towards the disarming station a huge grin on his face and long braid of different colored hair now hanging from his hair.
“Y-you dont think?” Cotton asked in horror.
“You got a better explanation,” Crescendo said glaring at Lightning as he left the room.
“Well let’s go disarm and head to the barracks,I’m sure you siblings are worried,” Stone said sighing, “Seems we can't go a week without somepony dying,”
“Yea I hope my little sis is ok,” Cotton said solmnly
And with that the next few years went by with similar tests,on top of their normal studies.The current remaining number of ponies is fifty and one question plagues the minds of all of them, when will this end and who will survive long enough to reach the finish line.
Author's Note
I've got discord now for those who are interested
A blast of magic streaks through the air of a arid desert and blows a hole in its target head, a young mare with a green mane and pink fur coat. Her attacker stood over her corpse laughing.
“Oh boy another lock of hair for my collection!” Lighting said grinning madly as he ripped a piece of the mare’s hair and entwined it with his braid,which now was so long he had to wrap it around his neck to stop it from dragging on the ground.
“Ugh I hate teaming up with this guy,” Stone said turning to Cotton who was watching Cress with a blush as Cress searched one of the corpses for supplies.
“Huh? Sorry what did you say?” Cotton snapping back to reality as she quickly looked to Stone.
“Ugh you seriously haven’t told her yet? You’ve been crushing on her ever since she saved from that trap in that one test, wait was that last week or last month, I can’t keep time straight in this place,” Stone said rolling his before going into thought.
“Yea this place is sucks,and as for Cress ...well… what do I tell her? What if she doesn’t like me back?” Cotton asked folding her ears back against her skull.
“I don’t know what to tell you,I don't know jack shit about this kinda of thing,” Stone sighed.
“Well your a huge help you are,” Cotton said sarcastically.
“Hey you two love birds let's get going!” Cress laughed as she walked towards a large structure that stuck out of the desert.
“No, I only love you Crescendo-chan,” Cotton whispered.
“Sheesh, I know you sister died but you don’t have be so cling-” Stone said before being slapped.
“Don’t ever fucking mention my sister again,” Cotton growled.
“S-sorry,” Stone said as Cotton galloped after Cress and Lighting.
“Times up maggots,” A voice said over the speakers as the desert faded to a white room.
Once again the robot took off with several corpses, and disappeared into the wall panels.
Cress took a quick look at the hologram,thirty.
“Well isn't that something,when this all stated we had five hundred and now that we’ve slowly lost ponies now we only have thirty, is it wrong that when the number goes down I don't feel anything anymore,” Cress said shaking her head.
“The more you're exposed to something the less you reaction to it is,” A gray furred colt with a black mane said walking up to them.
“Requiem what do you want?” Stone asked glaring at the colt.
“She asked a question I answered it,” Requiem said walking past them.
“So Cress, um how’s your sister doin I haven’t seen her around that much,” Lighting asked with a strange smile.
“Oh yea after you started getting creepy with her,I told her to stay in our bunks,” Cress said glaring at him.
“Hmmm noted,” He said walking off.
“That pervert better stay away from my sister!” Cressy growled.
“Hey forget about him let’s go get something to eat,” Cotton said shooting a glare in Lightings direction as he left the room.
“Can’t the Doctor gave me specific instructions, to meet him in his quarters after this simulation,” Cress said with a shiver.
“Yea he’s been doing that a lot lately ,what's up with that,” Stone asked thinking for a second.
“I’m not really allowed to talk about it,” Cress said obviously uncomfortable as she walked out of the room.
“I guess we should go grab Cosmic and Stardust, before we go to the cafeteria,” Stone said shrugging as Cotton looked after Cress ,worried about what the doctor wanted with her crush.
The next few month went by and several more deaths the count is now fifteen.
“Its coming down to it ain’t it ,Cressy” Lighting said giddly.
“Shut up Lighting,” Cress said glaring at him.
“Fuck you too bitch,” Lighting said smirking not noticing that Stone was holding Cotton back ,from kicking his ass.
Suddenly a platform suddenly extended from the wall, and non other than the doctor himself step on to it his cloaked bodyguards ,as always,standing behind him.
“Attention lab rats,and of course you my lovely Crescendo,” The Doc said winking at Cressedno,causing her to give him a big fake smile ,while screaming internally.
The rest of the ponies,except Lighting who was looking at the doctor stroking his braid of pony hair smiling at him menacingly, gave her sympathetic looks,once they realized how uncomfortable she was.
“I'm so pleased that so many have of you made it this far,the last batch didn’t make its past the last three exercises,” The doctor said looking annoyed for a second, “But no matter I have a small problem that must be solved before you can have your freedom,”
“F-freedom!?” Cress asked in confusion.
“Oh yes,this was just test for future installments, to be honest it was already complete I just like watch these kinds of hunger games esc things,but fear not! You will be properly paid for your work,”
“Payed we don’t want money ,you sick fuck!” Cosmic yelled at him.
“Oh you misunderstand your not being paid in currency,and you don't have a choice, now as for my problem well….perhaps I should pay you first,” the doctor said as the room filled with gas.
“Everyone ho- hold - hold y-your brea-,” Cress tried out before she fell unconscious.
When she woke up her entire body ached and she found herself laying in a pod of sorts.
“Ugh,” She groaned trying to out the pod,it was then that she realized her front hooves had now been replaced by human arms and hands.
She screamed and tried to jump back but she was still stuck in the pod. She then looked over her body to see she now had large breasts and human legs.
“That little pervert somehow turned me into his own kind! And a well endowed one at that,” Cress said in disgust not noticing that she had a tail aswell.
She then heard a female robotic voice say, “Data transfer to subject:Kronos complete,”
“Kronos? Like the titan god of time from greek mythology?” Crescendo asked out loud as she suddenly felt a intense pain in her head causing her to scream in pain.
“Ah, you're finally awake my sweet,” the doctor said helping her out of her pod and caressing her back and causing her to shiver, “ You know I have been looking for a….heir,and with you being single and such well...” He whispered into her ear sweetly causing her heart to skip a beat and her to pull away suddenly.
“Um I have to go um check on my siblings,” Crescendo said backpelledling away from the madman.
“Oh yes I almost forgot to mention, you little brother didn’t survive the procedure,and it appears Lighting got a bit too rough with you baby sister,” The doctor said smirking, “So I suppose your schedule is open ,yes?”
Crescendo looked at him tears in her before running out of the room, she now found she could now sense the energy of other beings and run at blinding speeds.
The doctor watched her run away with a smile, “That’s right Kronos, run to your destiny and gain the power needed to end the alicorns once and for all,.. hail Regith,”
Cress ran searching for her siblings, hoping against hope that the doctor was lying.
She zipped into a room and what greeted her stopped her in her tracks. She found her brother still a pony...lying lifelessly in a pod. She staggered over to him and cradled him in her arms sobbing. She held him for a minute before her sobbing faded and she looked her eyes red with three tomo on a ring around her pupils,after this the whites of her eyes turned black and the red of her eyes spiraled into six pointed shape not unlike black hole or a star, and around her pupil was a shape similar to the star of David.
“Don’t worry little bro ,I'll make them pay for this!I'll make them all pay for this!” Cress hissed standing up and dashing straight towards Lightning's energy signature.
“LIGHTNING! WHERE’S MY SISTER WHERE IS STARDUST!?” Cress screamed at Lighting who seemed to have been waiting for her.
“Oh hey Cress just got done fucking your sister, didn’t expect her to be so….tight, eh she made a good meal afterward too,” He said as picked his teeth with a toothpick, “Ya mad bro?”
Cresscendo hanged her head shadow’s covering her face.
“Oh lemme guess you came to fight me in the name of truth and justice right? Don’t you know in this world….it’s kill or be killed,” He said laughing.
“I'll keep that in mind,” She said darkly before a gold aura exploded around her and her becoming a spiky gold, “WHEN I KILL YOU!”,faster than Lighting could react, she punched him into through several walls.
She ran through the holes she made until she stopped at a security room that had a recording of a certain meeting on its main monitor.
“I trust you had no trouble acquiring this batch, after all its nothing more than low class scum and street urchins,” The king said looking at the Doctor.
“Why yes,and don’t you worry your majesty I have a good feeling about this one,by the way have you named your newborn yet?”
“Not yet but we’re thinking….Celestia,” the king smiling and teleporting away.
“So….our king condemned us to die…..I'll just kill him too,” Crescendo said glaring at the screen as something snapped in her mind, before dashing after Lighting.
“Catch me if you can!” Lighting taunted laughing as he ran through the hallways with Cress hot on his heels.
“Over here!” he sang as he stopped in front of a large circular device.
“Get over here!” she roared charging him.
He then side stopped and slammed a button on a nearby panel ,as Cress found that she was having trouble stopping. Suddenly the device whirred to life and in a flash it made a portal that Cress flew into.
“Later sweet cheeks,” Lighting laughed as he closed the portal and walked out of the room whistling.
Cress fell though portal rolling around her arua now even more intense, “WHY THAT SON OF-” she was then hit with a blast of magic ,that didn’t do anything but piss her off ,as she slowly turned to look at its source,a alicorn in full gold armour slightly taken aback by the ineffectiveness of his attack, but not backing down feeling confident in his comrades that had just joined him.
“Um in the name of the King ,your are hereby under arrest for unlawful practices and terrorism,” The alicorn said reading off a scroll his confidence dwindling quickly as Crescendo approached him.
“Oh really? You and what army?” Crescendo said causing the alicorn to motion to his comrades ,who had already hauled ass.
“Oh sh-” He began but was caught short by Crescendo blowing a hole in his chest.
“Time to taste the fruit of vengeance,” Crescendo said flying into the air to overlook the city of alicorns before blasting it to oblivion in a single attack, “I don’t know what he did to me, but I'm starting to like my new body,”
She closed her eyes and sensed the energy of several more bustling cities, “Time to get to work,”
After several more cities Crescendo was now in front of the capital,where an army of Alicorn warriors were waiting for her.
“Okay let’s see if I can use susanoo,hehe now I know why there was a whole chapter on the uses of dojutsu such a sharingan, good thing I was such a good little school girl,” She said as she was surrounded by a black flames that formed a around her rib cage, “Hmmm not complete yet lemme try adding to it,” more flames that formed into a giant complete skeleton and after a few seconds samurai armour formed around the skeleton and in the giant’s hand was scythe.
“A scythe? How fitting,” Crescendo laughed maddly now hovering at the heart of the giant, “For now I am your goddesses of death, and so I have come to reap your sins,”
She swung scythe the shock waves sending the charging alicorns to ground and splitting the rooftops of the cities building.The alicorns got up and released a battle cry as they launched hundreds of magic blasts at Crescendo and her susanoo.
“I must confess I’m not used to this body yet,but my current sync with it is enough to kill you all,after all ,killing those other cities was just a little warm up,” She said grinning madly as the magic attacks hit the susano but didn’t seem to affect the giant in the slightest.
Alicorns changed tactics targeting the joints of the chakra titan,this seemed to be effective causing one of the legs to disappear toppling the susanoo.
“Crap time to change my plan of attack,” She said sucking the susanoo back into her body before doing several hands signs and firing a ball of flame consuming several of the alicorns causing them to roll around screaming in pain. Several of the alicorns tried to dog pile her,but she summoned her susanoo's scythe(all be it a much smaller version of it) and sliced three of them in half,spling their blood on the ground.
“Dammit get her! It's just one girl ,how can it be this difficult to fucking kill her!” The king said flying down in worn battle armour said grabbing her in his magic and throwing her into the cities wall.
“Oh good for a second ,I thought this wouldn't be any fun,” She giggled dropping out of the crater she had left in the wall.
“If you keep going like this your going to have a bad time,” He growled his right eyes gaining a flame like whips to them.
“Oh no, I'm going to have GREAT time!” She said with a insane smile, “You took everything from me now….I'm taking everything from you!”
“Not likely,” He growled said blasting her with a huge blast of orange magic throwing her threw the wall in though and several buildings.
“Oh yes kingy darling! show me your power,” She laughed picking herself up and doing several hand signs and surrounding her hand in electricity, “Chidori a thousand chirping birds,”
She charged him,her lighting charged ready to hit him as he did the same covered in a thick flaming aura. They hit each other head on sending shockwaves through the city,shaking it to its foundations. Having blocked her chidori successfully with his aura, he took initiative and grabbed her and slammed her into the wall, pressing her to hit him with a fireball just at point blank.
“Fool, I have mastered the art of fire magic and as such I gained the perma perk of heat immunity,your flames will do nothing to me ,she-demon!” The king spat as he buried his sword into her stomach.
“It's your own fault,after all the your one who ordered my creation!” She said grabbing his face close to her own.
“What no your the calamity the Doctor was supposed to- he tricked me,he told me a calamity was coming, to trick me into funding said calamity,” The king said before glaring directly into her eyes,earning a crazed a smirk from his opponent.
“I win!” She laughed as his eyes became the same as hers, “Too bad you didn’t know about the sharingan and its abilities,” she giggled.
“Oh but actually I did,” A voice said from behind her as a blade a jutted out of her chest,causing her to cough up blood.
“Damn it,” She said turning around to try and blast him only for him to slammed her into the ground so hard she fell into a catacomb below.
“That accursed Doctor also recommended ,that I relocate the capital to this exact spot.what was he planning,” The king said gritting his teeth,suddenly he felt a dark presence causing him to quickly follow her down to the catacombs.
He jumped down ,to see it was a sealing chamber commonly used to hide powerful dark magic artifacts,normally those connected to the great betrayer.
“Yes my child come closer ,take the sword from its prison,and you will gain the power to obtain your vengeance,” a dark dragon shaped mist said stroking Crescendo face.
“No wait don’t do it!” The king cried as Crescendo pulled out the sword,while in a trance of some kind. She then screamed in pain as black energy consumed,until her screams suddenly stopped and she suddenly began to laugh a distorted evil laugh,almost like two people talking at the same time.
“Tell me King Sol...are you ready to die?” She said suddenly said suddenly looking up her eyes pitch black.
“Xisis help us,” He gasped.
“Your goddesses will not save now,” She said charging him.
Meanwhile
The alicorns warriors gathered at the entrance of the catacombs preparing to follow after their king,when they heard him scream.
“Sire!” one of the lieutenants flying down only to be cut in half ,before even making it half way.
One of them tried to call out to the lieutenants only for his neck to be cut open causing him to instantly bleed to death. Before they even knew what was happening the warriors were beginning to drop like flies.
“Fall back!” One of the commanders said turning to take flight as he and his unit were decimated.
All they could hear was laughter as that monster tore through them. They then turned their attention to the fleeing citizens.
“Oh now you run? You ponies really are dumb, oh well I have a body now, so I guess I shouldn’t turn down a little target practice,” ‘Crescendo’ laughed.
They began destroying the city slowly as too enjoy it as much as possible.
“ENOUGH,” a voice rang out.
They whipped around to see a young grey unicorn in hat and cape with stars emblazoned on them.
“Star swirl!” ‘Crescendo’ roared.
“I hope you enjoyed your time in that body Regith,because it ends right here and right now,” Star Swirl glared before sighing sadly, “I’m sorry Crescendo,you were such a sweet girl ,its not your fault this world so cruel to good ponies like you, I should have been there for you, what kind of godfather am I,”
“I’ve been waiting for you Star Swirl,time to die!” Regtith said charging.
“Not today, now get the hell out of my goddaughter!” Swirl said using a staff of somekind that opened a portal, “What no they said….DAMN WENDIGOS!”
Later
Crescendo found herself back in her pony body, and in a black void.
“Wow the great Star Swirl fell for the oldest trick in book! Oh well time for some fun!” A voice said in from the void, “We get you for a only two millennia ,better make it count,”
“W-wait no WAIT,” Crescendo said before she started to scream.
It has been two thousand years since Crescendo was taken by the windagoes, and in those years they fed on every ounce of pain and suffering they could squeeze out of her, torturing her mind making her believe she had died thousands of deaths. Eventually her psyche broke under the stress leaving her a husk of her former self,and windagoes without a meal, and so she was reverted to foal once again as they had sealed her power inside to the point where she would have to suffer greatly to reawaken it,but now she was free even if she did not know it yet. She now laid barely breathing in the snow of the frozen north.
“Are you sure we should be following an oracle's advice,that old hag probably can’t even find her hooves,let alone so merchandise,” A Minotaur with a slim build and heavy winter protection said as he and his four companions tracked behind their bruly leader.
“That Oracle has never been wrong in all the years that she has held the position, I see no reason for her to be wrong this time, she said something valuable would be found near the western slope of the frozen north and I intend to find it,” The large Minotaur said gruffly as they powered through the snow,stopping when he spotted Cress laying on her side in the snow unmoving.
“Holy shit it that foal? If it's still alive it might make us a good profit!” The giant said with a greed grin as he ran up and grabbed Cressy and giving her a good looks over.
“Still breathing eh? Oh and it's an Alicorn foal! Oh we could sell this pretty thing for a lot of coin, some perverted noble might want her to fulfill his fantasies of fucking royalty,” The minotaur said turning to his companions who were also grinding with a glint in their eyes, “Id do it myself,but she’s a bit young,hmm perhaps too young to sell quite yet...I know! We’ll raize her to be a slut and sell her to highest bidder!”
“Oh that will mighty fun!” One of them said with glee.
“I say we all take turns with her ,once she’s of age!” Another said eagerly.
“So it's settled then lets- Hey! Who are you? Get lost ya mangy mutt!” The main honcho said catching sight of a anthro female wolf,who had a full winter coat of fur and was wearing modest, but practical leather armour, who was approaching them.
“You stand trial and have been found wanting, Time to die.” She charges and snaps the neck of the first one before he could even blink.
“What the hell? Get that bitch!” One them yelled going for his battle axe on his back.
Letting them come, she takes them out one by one. “May xixis have mercy on your souls.”
All of the minotaurs laid on the ground dead,their blood staining the snow red,as Cress continued to lay motionless in the snow, her breathing getting slower by the minute.
The wolf takes cress in her paws, and starts to let a silver glow cover cress. “Please let me be on time!”
Cress’s breathing returned to normal and she opened her eyes, but her stare was blank and her royal blue eyes unfocused, it was as if she was dead but her chest going up and down, told a different story.
Thinking quickly, The wolf holds cress close to her fur to keep her warm, as she gets somewhere warm. She brought them to a cave that one would most likely not notice if they did not know it was there. Inside the cave was a humble setting, a fire pit in the center, a workbench with several tools,a rack for her weapons,and queen sized bed with animal furs as covers and thick wool as a mattress.
The wolf gets a fire going and sets cress near it to warm her up a bit. “Please work. It is not yet your time to die,”
After a few tense minutes Cress’s breathing was stable,and she seemed to have fallen asleep. The wolf smiles and sets to make some food for herself and her new guest. As she worked she noticed that Cress had stated tossing her sleep and sobbing quietly, she was obviously not enjoying whatever dream she was having.
Setting down the food The wolf heads over to cress and lays close by. “Its ok, your safe now.” She gives cress a hug.
The foal tensed up at first but eventually nuzzled closer,and seemed to relax a bit,and seemed to now be sleeping soundly.
The wolf smiles and lays near her charge like a furry breathing blanket. So they were both asleep. After a few hours Cress began to stir a bit and wiggled out of her grasp before sitting by the fire, with a blank stare.
The wolf wakes not long after and goes over to cress. “It will all be ok your safe. Feel free to take your time to tell me why i found you like that.”
The foal said nothing but looked at her with a blank stare,her eyes lacking the shine that most beings have.
“She can respond quite yet her mind is still to damaged, but I can talk to you,” the foal seeming said her eyes glowing red and a dark aura surrounding, “This body cannot sustain me, so Ill be moving on soon, but I will answer a single question before I leave, child of xisis,”
“What happened to this foal? Why is she in so much pain.” The wolf asked.
“Oh that is a long and wonderful story!” The being cackled before telling her the complete story of what happened to Cress, which took a about an hour.
“That's terrible! Used as a living weapon forced to fight for something she would not have agreed with. That does it! I vow to give this foal the life she deserves or my name is not eris!” The now named eris exclaimed.
“Ugh so noble,it makes me sick, oh well you no longer interest me ta-ta!” The voice said turing into a cloud of dark energy and flying away.
Eris holds cress close and a sliver glow envelopes cress as if to comfort her.
A few weeks later Cress seemed to be aware of her surroundings as she no longer just sat staring at the fire, but seemed to explore the cave, although her memory seemed poor as she would do this once a day, and seemed to be surprised everytime by her surrounding. A few more weeks past and Eris had gone out to check the weather for today, Cress left the cave and trotted up to her.
The foal looked at her and seemed to be struggling to do something, “M-ma-m” She began to say.
“Thats right im your mama.” Eris smiled and picked up cress and held her.
“Mama,” Cress said happily nuzzling Eris’s neck.
The next few years were happy ones, Eris begin to teach Cress many things,such as combat, magic, and the ways of xisis. At the end of her fourth year with Eris, Cress had wandered away from the cave in search of something to due. She was attacked by a huge yeti and in this moment Cress transformed into the state she used to fight the King of the Alicorns and decimated the yeti.
“What, how did I?” Cress said looking her new body over in astonishment.
“This is the power I felt in you that was locked away, How do you feel pup?” Eris asked with a smile.
“I feel-” Suddenly she felt a pain in her head as her memories of before Eris came flooding back, with the exception of her time with the windagoes which were only images flashed here and there but giving her an idea of what they did to her. She broke down sobbing and holding her head in pain.
“My pup! Are you ok!” Eris races to cresses side. “Please take it easy.”
“I remember everything, mom...thank you for not telling me, I didn’t want to remember this,” Cressy sobbed into her adoptive mother shoulder.
“Let it all out, i am here for you.” Eris hugged her tight.
Cress sobbed for about minute before they walked back to the cave. The next few years went by and Cress was a lot more solemen than before and prefered her new form over her alicorn state., and on her eighteenth birthday her mother had a surprise for her.
“My sweet pup. It is time you leave the nest. I will always be here for you, but you need to meet ponies and other beings as well.” Eris shed a few tears. “I give you this cloak, the one my father made for me, and I pass it on to you my pup.”
“Thank you mother,I'll make you proud!” Cress said hugging her before taking the cloak and putting it on. Cress and Eris then worked together to help her prepare for her journey, they packed a modest satchel with necessary supplies and when they were finished,Cress hugged her Mom one last time before flying off to begin her journey.
For the next year she took her time exploring the world, she learned several things some of them the hard way, like how to spot an untrustworthy person or trouble in general,she learned that she like to alcoholic beverages practically whiskey,and she also learned that she could change her gender, which she did to avoid unwanted advances. So one day he when she was passed out drunk for the third time this week,she found herself facing a huge white dragon in her mind scape.
“It is about time we had a chance to talk, my child.” The dragon said. “I’m xixis and I have great plans for your future,”
“Oh great another fucking dragon inside me,okay grandma let's hear it, I don't have anything better to do,” Cress said looking annoyed.
“What if I said my offer comes with some perks? Like multiverse travel?” Xixis smiled. “Bet that will change your tune!”
The Dragon now had Cressy’s full attention, “Multiverse travel eh? That sound interesting,” She said with a grin, what do you want in return?”
“All i ask is that after you arrive in a dimension, that you help spread my word. Other than that. I'm going to give you info on where my sages are as a goodwill gift,” Xixis touched a claw to cresses head and she gets hit with the info.
“I see so what exactly is your word?” Cress asked in curiosity, “Unless you're talking about telling people you exist and your totally fucking awesome,”
“Did eris not teach you my word? Yes tell them im great and regith sucks, There's more to it however.” Xixis smiled. “Just pay it forward what kindness you have been shown to others.”
“Okay but I reserve the right to be the shit out of assholes,” Cress said with a nod.
“Only if they are really assholes, find out way before you judge if possbile.” Xixis said.
“I gotch Grandma, don’t worry about a thing,” Cress said with a smile, “Hmm this calls for a name change, after all I'm practically a completely different person,yeah Crescendo has been dead for the last twelve years, call me Kronos,”
“Go kronos, and do good work.” Xixis starts to fade from his mindscape.
Kronos woke up with a groan, “Well that was something, eh better get to work,” He jumped up and flew to the first location a tower that rose from the ocean thousands of miles south of Equestria. He landed at the top of the tower where a unicorn in a almost regal cloak was waiting with four unicorns standing at attention behind him.
The head unicorn approached him with a welcoming smile. “I welcome you to the retreat of the sages.”
“Yea the grandma dragon,asked me to come here, I assume you have some badass spells I can learns,that will help me not get murdered in another universe,”
“Yea but you’ll have to focus on a particular school,you can learn certain spells from other schools, but the code states that you have to chose one school to pledge to,” One of the Unicorns said from behind the head sage.
“Ok there are the school of time-” One of the other unicorns began.
“Time,” Kronos said interrupting the unicorn.
“At least let us finish, time, elemental,space,the list is long and varied.” The head unicorn said.
“I'm going go with time,cuz it fits my name,” Kronos said explained.
The unicorns nodded and Kronos spent the next few years learning a variety of spells from the unicorns, most of them revolving around time manipulations, but also learned a few handy spells to help with mundane things, like cleaning. Eventually through gruelling study sessions and hundreds of test, Kronos became a respected time mage and gained the blessing of time immunity and reincarnation. After ten years of extensive training in magic, a farewell ceremony was no being held for Kronos who had decided it was time to move on.
“You came to us as a student but now you are a master. In such a short time we have come to admire your drive, Now go and make us proud!” The head unicorn said with a smile.
“Thank you sir, It was been a great honor to study with you all, I will go on to make you all proud I swear,” and with that Kronos was off to meat the next set of sages. Kronos arrived at a volcanic mountain and in side it was a bustling forge run by a short but very confident earth pony.
“Lockjaw but more into your flame we need that metal to be as hot as you can get it!” He yelled at one of the dragon who were melting iron for the forge.
“Master perhaps the dragon need help over pushing him too hard?” The master forger’s assistant said.
“Hmm you may be right,Lockjaw take a break but get your brother to take over,” The earth pony said.
“Master we seem to have a visitor.” the dragon assistant said.
“Huh, ah! I was wonderin when you were gonna stop by, don’t worry the old magic slinger told me all about you, and I’ve got a treat for you,” The pony said grinning leading them to a large circular room with a large group of unicorns sitting by the walls,and two large dragons on either side of everchanging forge mold.
“Now this forge is only allowed to be used by xisis’s most respected follower’s you being one of them we’re gonna make you a weapon worthy of a fella like your self, should serve you well on your travels through the multiverse,” he the old earth pony said as Kronos said walking up to the forge.
“It’ll pick a weapon type that it think fits you, I say think because it’s not always spot on, it's usually pretty close though,” the earth pony said as Kronos looked at the forge which had decided on a sword with curved handle guard.
“Oh a sword. Light and even it shall serve you well.” The assaint said.
“Yea well let's get it made then,” Kronos said
“Which means you need to go git while the dragons,the unicorns,and one of my best metalworkers get to work, hmm I’m thinking mythril with a magic absorption spell and genetic modification in case you need to give your allies some power ups,” The earth pony said.
After several hours the forge master was handing Kronos as black sword that was in black sheath. Kronos half unsheathing it to reveal a white blade.
“Nice the workmanship is amazing, thanks so much for taking the time to make this,” Kronos said giving the forge master a smile.
“Eh I only did it cuz xixis wants you alive to spread her word, and for that you need a reliable weapon,” The forgemaster said, “Anyway have fun and don’t die,”
“Take care old man,”Kronos nodded.
“Oh right almost forgot, you got summons from the oracle, better go see her,she doesn’t summon people unless its important,” the forge master said, “She lives in city called canterlot, here take this map,”
“Right thanks, guess I have one last stop before I can finally explore the rest of the multiverse!” Kronos said with a giddy smile.
Jun, Six, and Kronos were making their way down a narrow ledge on the cliffface making it across the chasm below.
“You know I can fly, right?” Kronos asked as they reached the top of the hill near the edge of the ledge.
“Flying isn’t very stealthy now is it?” Six said, smirking under his helmet.
Jun turned to Kronos and said, “The covies probably have sensors to detect air borne threats, that’s why we aren't using a pelican, and even if it couldn’t pick you up on it, it's not worth the risk,”
“Heh, sorry... didn’t think about any of that,” Kronos blushed as he adjusted the sniper rifle on his back, “although its annoying that HQ has prohibited me from using ki based attack without clearance,”
“Quit whining, it's only for this OP,” Kat said over the comms.
“Hmph,” Kronos said as they climbed a boulder once they were over Jun turned around and handed them each a magazine clip.
“Here, you two will need these, high velocity armour piercing, these babies can take the hat off an elite at two thousand yards,” He said.
Kronos whistled as he and six took a clip each.
The trio slid down the ledge and came up behind an elite who had been looking off into the distance.
“I got him, I want to try something,” Kronos said as his hand was surrounded in a purple glow for a second and he mumbled, “kaolc,” turning invisible, although it was more of a camouflage as you could somewhat see the distortion when he moved ,if you looked closely.
There was silence for a few seconds as the Elite perked up, sensing something before being knocked unconscious by Kronos who had now decloaked. Kronos placed two fingers on the Elite’s forehead, and closed his eyes.
“Err this guy’s mind is hard to read, I can only pick up a few basic things like his language and customs, not much else,” Kronos growled in frustration taking out a dagger and slitting the elites throat.
“What’s wrong, your fancy power not working right?” Six asked smugly.
“Haha,” Kronos said laughing before being shushed by Jun and Six.
“Sorry,” Kronos whispered before perking up, “Five sigs, small, probably grunts coming this way... let's ambush them,”
The trio dashed back to the bushes and laid waiting for the grunts.
A squad of short creatures wearing pointed armour and gas mask like apparatus on their faces waddled into view.
“Sorry boss, Clap had to go to th- Oh he is dead, um maybe we should-” The lead grunt said when they found the dead Elite.
“Surprise mother fucka!” Six said jumping out and gunning them down.
“Aw, they were kinda cute, did we really have to kill them?” Krono asked giving the dead grunts a pitying look.
“Yes,” Jun and Six said in union as they head down the hill.
They came across a small village that was now under the complete control of the Covenant.
“Can we stop being sneaky boi’s now?” Kronos whined.
“No,” Jun scolded.
“Let's go in slow and take them out,” Six said as they sneaked up on a group of sleeping grunts.
“No don’t do it, they're so cute when their asleep, “Kronos whispered.
“The only good covie is a dead covie, now lets make these covie’s good,” Six said taking out his knife, stealthily killing the grunts.
“You’re mean,” Kronos said glaring at him.
Six flipped him off and they made there way through the encampment in silence, until Kronos tripped on a rock and fell onto a box, breaking it.
“You did that on purpose,” Jun said as the alarm was raised.
“Maybe,” Kronos grinned.
“Damn it, Kronos, why can’t you just follow orders,” Carter yelled over the comms.
“But stealth is so boring,” Kronos whined.
“I don’t care, shut up and do what you’re told or you’re going to sit at camp for the rest of your time in this unit,” Carter yelled at him.
“Fine, sheesh,” Kronos taking out a pistol and shooting down five grunts without looking.
Kronos jumped into the air and sniped a few elites,as slowly landed on one of the taller building.
“Hey no flying!” Jun said.
“I didn’t, I just jumped high,” Kronos said as he took out a few more elites.
“Thanks to you we have to fight through entire hordes of these guys,” Six groaned, poking his head out of cover to shoot down a charging elite.
Suddenly a dropship came in, dropping some elites with white armour and preparing drop down.
“Take it down, Kronos,” Jun said.
“Finally,” Kronos said, firing a ki blast and obliterating the ship and its occupants.
“Still can't get over that,” Six said shaking his head.
“Let's get moving,” Jun said as they headed into a forest like area, before reaching a clearing where the bird like skirmishers were being attacked by two giant reptilian like monsters.
“What the fuck is that?” Six asked.
“Thats one big boi,” Kronos whispered.
The creatures quickly killed the skirmishers, before charging them, prompting Kronos to take out his sniper and shoot them down quick with a headshot.
“Kat did you get any of that?” Jun asked.
“Affirmative Recon Bravo, it's an indingious creature called a Guta,” Kat said over the comms.
“Well, guess we should keep going,” Kronos shrugged.
“There’s a trail through the rocks up ahead. Let's take it,” Jun said as they followed it deeper into the woods.
Suddenly, gunfire rang out.
“Gunfire. Magnums, security side arms, standard issue,” Jun said as they ran towards the pump station where the shots were coming from.
“Noble Two, that’s some sort of pump station. Got eyes on civilians, more local militia, they’ve engaged hostiles.
“Move to assist, they may have intel we need,” Kat said.
As they dashed in, one of the militia men said, “Give us a hand! The bastards just keep coming!”
“That’s what she said,” Kronos laughed before taking cover behind some crates.
“Shut up Kronos,” Six said taking cover next to him.
“You guys don't let me have any fun,” Kronos said pretending to pout, before taking a few shots at a the charging covenant forces taking a few out.
Six took out his assault rifle and jumped over the cover, mowing down several units.
“Let’s shoot some lizard boi’s!” Kronos said grabbing a rifle off a downed trooper and charging after Six.
“Can you stop using that meme? This is what I get for introducing you to the internet,” Six sighed.
“Ultra’s inbound!!!” Jun said, pointing to the white armoured aliens as they charged Kronos and Six.
“You got enough ammo?” Six asked.
“Don’t need it,” Krono said dashing forward grabbing one them and using him to slam another into a wall making a crater in the wall.
Kronos took out his sword, threw the elite he was holding to the air and pointed the blade into the air causing the elite to be impaled on the blade.
“The force is strong with this one,” Six snickered.
“Oh is that a reference to that Star Wars movie you told me about? Watch this!” Kronos said outstretching his hand and floating the last ultra into the air. Before making a fist causing the ultra to explode.
“Whoa calm down there Frieza,” Six laughed, “You might make one of them go super saiyan,”
“But they’re not saiyans,” Kronos said in confusion.
“Woosh,” Kat said over the comms.
“Ya know from that one scene in Dragon Ball Z,” Six trying to explain the joke.
“What scene?” Kronos asked giving him a look.
“Where krillin dies, and Goku goes Super Saiyan,” Six specified.
“Goku can go super saiyan, but he’s like twelve!” Kronos said in surprise.
“Huh? Dude have you ever watched Z? He’s like thirty!” Jun said walking up to them.
“Maybe he only saw the original Dragon Ball,” Six offered.
“No, I meant this kid named Goku,I met him while I was verse hopping, he needed a haircut, but other than that he was a good kid,” Kronos said getting confused.
“Wait…..Your telling me, that you actually met Goku,” Six said grabbing Kronos by his soldiers.
“Well um yeah,” Kronos said shrugging.
Six looked at him, and Kronos looked at him, they looked at each other for like five minutes, it was kinda awkward.
“Um no homo?” Kronos asked.
Six stared at him, “Agreed, but you are taking me with you next time you hop,”
“Um ok,” Kronos said walking backward, obviously very weirded out.
“Bravo team be advised, several wraiths inbound,” Kat said over the comms.
“Ready to show off your fancy moves, seven?” Six taunted.
Kronos grinned and goes Super Saiyan.
“This makes way more sense than I am comfortable with,” Jun said, shaking his head and running for cover.
“Kronos… smash,” Six said pointing to the wraths.
“With pleasure,” Kronos said, blasting two of the wraiths away with a one handed ki blast.
“Honestly, I'm ashamed I didn’t know what those were before now,” Six said looking a tad bit depressed.
“To be fair, nowadays it's all Final flash or Kamehameha,so normal ki blasts. aren't as common,” Jun said as he chucked a blue ball of light onto on of the wraiths blowing it away.
“Hey stop stealing my kills with your lucky shots!” Kronos glared at Jun. Unfortunately for Kronos it only took out the driver so the wraith slammed into Kronos at full speed, as he was sent flying over the heads of the two spartans and into a pool of water.
“Not a word Six,” Jun said.
“Looks like he’s all washed up,” Six laughed.
“God damnit Six,” Jun face palmed.
A flash of light came from the pond, and a few seconds later Kronos found himself in a strange hallway.
“Fuck, I botched that teleport trying to get away from that fucking water,” Kronos said shaking the water off him.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming down the hall. Kronos quickly cast his cloaking spell and stood out of the way, as a blue armored elite walked by.
“Hmmm,” Kronos thought, firing a spell while chanting, “Peels,”
“Really sucks not being able to use unicorn magic in this form,” Kronos cursed under his breath.
He bent down and placed a hand on the sanghelian’s head, memories flooded Kronos’s head, he quickly suppressed as many as he could so as to not be overwhelmed by the sudden info dump, in the end all he knew from this was that he was on a covenant flagship.
“Okay now for my next spell,” Kronos said sitting down in lotus position, “Threads of time rewind now, duo minuta redire,” and with that a purple hex seal appeared below him and the elite got up rapidly and ran backwards back down the hall.
Kronos wiped the sweat off his face, and took a few seconds to catch his breath, “Okay now for my changeling spell, this is gonna hurt,” He gritted his teeth as green flames consumed his body and burned his skin and organs, and a few seconds later he was the red armoured elite he encountered at the start of his mission with Six and Jun.
“Okay, time to make Grandma happy and see what these lizard bois have to say for themselves, well... what their computers have to say anyway,” Kronos said in the language of the elites.
“Okay, gotta be carefull, no magic, no sharingan, and most certainly no ki or super saiyan ,in this form,so if I get snuck up on Im screwed” Kronos thought to himself as he walked past the blue.
“Ah Major! Thel Vadumee was looking for you, it's time for your promotion ceremony, best of luck brother,” The blue said as he turned and jogged back the way he came.
“Oh yeah, his memories did say something about that,” Kronos thought to himself.
Kronos walked into the bridge and was met with most of the Elites (which he now knew as sanghelian’s) wait for him.
“We have come here today to honor the deeds of this one’s soul.” a bright gold armoured elite stated. “Myrta naz. Your time has come, take this blade, and grow in your place in the great journey!”
Kronos took the blade, and said, “It will be an honor to use this blade to fight for the great journey,” as he silently thanked what little memories he got from both of those elites.
“Now go and do even greater work for the journey, and the covenant!” The elite walked off.
Kronos looked at the hilt he had received and ignited its transparent blue tinted energy blade. “Its beautiful, “ He mumbled still making sure to use the sanagheilian’s language. He turned the blade off and placed it on his left hip while adjusting his sword on his right. Kronos then walked down the hall and stopped.
“Shit I don’t know where my bunk is,” Kronos face palmed.
“Second on the left boss,” A grunt said walking past.
“Thanks little buddy,” Kronos said after him.
“Little buddy?” A blue armored a elite said coming up behind him.
“We’re all on the same side, best to treat each other with respect eh?” Kronos replied,hoping he hadn't blown his cover already..
The blue elite looked put off by this but shrugged and walked off, the gold armoured one from before however seemed to have taken interest in Kronos’s remark.
“Oh really myrta? What made you change your mind about that?” He asked walking up to kronos’ elite form.
“I’m trying to keep a more open mind, we are all on this journey together, there is no need to push others down in order to elevate yourself,” Kronos shrugged.
“That is a very open view. Say at some point would you like to clash blades? I need some practice.” The gold one said.
“Clash blades? With a warrior of your standing? What a fool I would be to refuse such a honor!” Kronos said trying to hide his excitement to fight someone he assumed to be quite strong.
“Alright, follow me.” He said leading Kronos, Kronos placing a small device on a computer without the snagheilian noticing ,before they reached a wide open room.
“I will take it slow at first so as not to overwhelm you, then we pick up the pace. Got it?” He said igniting his energy sword.
Kronos nodded and ignited his blade. At first as he said, the gold warrior took it easy on Kronos. Kronos used this time to adjust to his new form. At first, barely blocking the gold warrior’s strikes, but soon over taking him and going on the offensive.
“Must be as the heretics call it a ‘quick study’, well time to cut lose.” The gold warrior speeds up quite a bit.
Now, they were blurs of red and gold as the two clashed in the center of the room, Kronos found himself unable to push his advantage, not that he had one to begin with. He then got an idea. As the gold warrior went in to clash with his blade, Kronos deactivated his energy sword at the last possible second, narrowly dodging the blade and punching the gold warrior in the face knocking him to the ground before reactivating his blade and holding it close to his face.
Only for the gold warrior to sweep kronos’ legs from under him and aim his own blade at kronos’ throat. “That was not a honorable move.”
“It worked did it not, well almost,” Kronos grinned,well as close as he could get with his mandibles.
“You are not Myrta, Myrta would have never used such a move, Plus I bet you don’t even know my name,” The gold warrior said.
Kronos remained silent for a second trying to think of a to get out of his situation that didn’t involve shifting back into his saiyan form. It was then that the device he put on the computer dinged and his HUD was flooded with info.
“You are Thel Vadumee,” Kronos grinned.
“You found that much out. I however still know you're not Myrta, show me what you really are!” Thel practically roared in anger.
“Sheesh fine,” Kronos said as a burst of green flame consumed him causing Thel to step back as several more elites ran into room.
“Vadumee what is going on?” A white armoured one asked running to the side.
“I have no idea how, but we have a heretic in our midsts.” Thel sighed.
The flames dissipated and Kronos stood with his cloak draped around his neck and shoulders, now in his saiyan form, his tail flowing free.
“Well I was hoping to stay hidden a bit longer, maybe get a better feel for how you guys operate,” Kronos said shaking his head and twirling the energy sword on his finger.
“Why should I believe anything you say, heretic!” Thel shouted.
“You know you really should be more aware of what’s going on around you, that was mytra’s mistake,” Kronos smirked ignoring the question.
“You killed him, Why should I not kill you in return!” Thel said.
“You know buddy, I made a promise to god dragon awhile back in return for some power, that promise being I wouldn’t kill without reason, and if it wasn’t for that promise...you’d be dead where you stand,” Kronos said darkness eclipsing his eyes for a few second as a darkly shaded red aura encased them for those few seconds.
“So you say you can kill me anytime?” Thel shouted.
Suddenly the elite next to him dropped dead with several gashes in his armour.
“That will be you in a few seconds if you don’t watch your tone,” Kronos said coldly.
“Again all your doing is making me want to try and kill you, give me a reason i shouldn’t try!?” Thel said.
“How about this, you raise that blade against me, and I'll kill the rest of your little friends, you want that?” Kronos asked getting irritated.
Thel sighes and drops his blade and his rifle. “Kill me if you must, but spare them, I'm the one that angered you.”
“I have no interest in dulling my blade on you armour, but I will like to double check your data banks to make sure my bug didn’t miss anything, oh and I'm gonna need to pilot this ship to where ever I need to be, teleporting takes to much energy to be worth it in verse jumps,”
“You have a deal. What do you mean I’m not worth dulling your blade though?” Thel frowns.
“Oh no, you misunderstand, my blade is stupidly hard to sharpen once the blade has been dulled, so I wished to avoid going through that process , having it forged from near indestructible metal does that to a sword,” Kronos said shaking his head.
“Near indestructible?! That's not possible!” Thel’s eyes go wide.
“Nothing is impossible, not even raising the dead,” Kronos said snapping his finger causing purple chains to appear around the white elite and shatter, causing him to jump up gasping.
“What are you, some kind of god?” Thel asked in awe.
“Nope, you see Thely, there was no blood on the ground, therefore I did not cut his skin, instead I knocked him out and froze him in time for a hot second, so basically the only damage done was to his amour, but make no mistake... that was only a warning, next time he’s not getting up,” Kronos said.
“I already dropped my weapons, what else could you want!” Thel groaned a bit
“I wanted to make sure you didn't see this as a sign of weak will,” Kronos reiterated.
“Now what do you wish, master.” Thel said.
“Master huh? I like that, anyway lemme check the log books and such real quick,” Kronos said going to the main computer and rapidly shifted through all the pages.
Thel is quick to give the order that the human like creature is not to be harmed.
“Hmm interesting…” Kronos said before stopping at a file marked “for the prophets eyes only”, “OOOOOOOOOO, lemme give it a looksie.”
Kronos then watched a short clip before bursting out laughing.
“You guys got played!” Kronos giggled madly.
“What have you found?” Thel asked with raised eyes.
“Look at this, “ Kronos said putting up on screen big enough for the entire bridge to see.
The clip showed Jackals and Grunts attacking a poorly defended station and wiping out all the civilians.
“What!? So humans were never a threat to the great journey in the first place!? Not only that but so much dishonor has been done by us to fight in this war.” Thel raged a bit in anger.
“Like a fiddle,” Kronos mused.
“We must not act rash, the prophets could end us at any time if they found out wecknew the truth,” Thel said.
“Okay so, for now you go about your normal routine.l, Any large deviation could put our operation at risk, I'll need to get into contact with the UNSC, hopefully we can get them on our side,” Kronos said.
“If you can get the humans to see reason behind this, I will gladly pledge my fleet to their war effort.” Thel promised.
“I'll hold you to that, see ya later Thely,” Kronos smirked, teleporting away.
Kronos flew around the area he had fell into the water, before but due to his poor sense of direction he somehow ended back at the same spot. At this point he was pretty frustrated when he heard a loud ‘boom’. Kronos looked up to see a covenant ship blew apart.
“Shit!” Kronos said in shock before laughing,” Looks like someone hit the self destruct button instead of the invade the hooman’s button!”
“Kronos!” Kronos heard over his comm making him jerk his head in surprise.
“Thank you for calling Wendy’s how can I help you!” Kronos asked with a snicker through the comms.
“Shut up, seven we just lost jorge, get your ass over so you can do something for once,” Kat said over the comms.
“Wait what, What do you mean Jorge is gone?” Kronos asked.
“Jorge was on that ship,” Kat said solemnly.
Kronos remained silent.
“Kronos?” Kat asked after a few seconds.
“I'll be there in second,” Kronos said his eyes glowing red with three tommo.
Kronos blasted off at full speed sensing the energy of the covenant encampment.
“Sup bitches, you killed by buddy, he owed me some money, so now your gonna pay for it in blood,” Kronos said with a glare as the a bunch of jackals fired on him. He held out his hand and blasts several to oblivion.
“You know whatever you guys are getting paid to fight me,well ... it's not enough,” Kronos said with a smirk as a squad of jackals surrounded him. They looked at each other for second and ran away.
“Heh smarter than they look,” Kronos laughed as blue elite tried to run up and punch him in the face.
“Thel’s record told me that most of his units weren’t blue’s like you, meaning killing you won’t break my promise, although I'd still like to break a few things,” Kronos grinned sadistically wiping a bit of blood of his mouth, before dodging the rest elites attacks quickly and kicking his arm, breaking the blues arm and before taking out his sword and slicing his attackers arm,cutting through the armor and shields.
The blue staggered back holding his arm in pain, purple blood dripping out of it. Kronos walked up to him slowly and slammed his blade through the top of its skull and through his torso. Then he turned around quickly as he was fired on by a few red elites. Kronos brought his blade up absorbing the energy into the blade, coating it in a white energy.
“You really want to do this?” Kronos asked with a glare, “I’m pissed off right now, but technically I’m still under a promise to give you a second chance,”
“We have to make it look convincing.” One of the reds says not a ounce of fear in his eyes.
“Oh I see,” Kronos said wiping the alien blood off his blade as the energy dissipated, before teleporting behind them as they fell down unconscious.
“Now then I've played with these guys long enough, time to go looking for noble team,” Kronos sighed, “Yo where are you guys, I just fucked up a bunch a mooks,”
“New Alexandria, hurry up we’ve got civilians,” Kat said over the comms.
“Um where is that?” Kronos asked looking around for a giant city but not seeing any in the distance.
“Oh my… just use the teleport thing you do!” Kat yelled at him over the comms.
“Oh yea...forgot about that,” Kronos blushed putting his finger to his head and vanishing.
He reappeared in front of Kat and Six as they were run.
“Where have you been!?” Six demanded grabbing Kronos by his shirt.
“Long story short, lost concentration with a teleportation met some lizard bois and then became best frens with lizard bois,” Kronos said.
Six dashed forward and put his pistol up against the bottom of his chin, “One reason, asshole, one,”
“Because I made them my bitch, so they have to listen to me now,” Kronos said calmly with a cold stare.
Six and Kronos started at each other for a solid minute.
“Stand down ,six,” Kat said.
Six and Kronos continued to stare each other down.
“So we gonna kiss or what?” Kronos asked with a shit eating grin.
Six slapped him with his pistol and stormed off.
Kronos laughed as Kat shook her head as she walked past him.
“This area is compromised we ne-” Kat said before a shot rang out that her in the shoulder sending her to the ground.
“Kat!” Six said rushing to her side.
(** is for private comms only kronos can hear, m’kay?)
**”this is kin, just make it look convincing for now.”**
Kronos said nothing cuz,as that would defeat the purpose of a private comm. He watched as Six helped Kat to her feet.
“I almost go sniped that was close,” Kat said shaken up a bit.
“Yea would have been a bull shity way for a spartan to die,” Kronos laughed as they ran to the exist.
“By the way what happened to those civilians?” Kronos asked as they took the elevator.
“Already dead, we didn’t make it in time,” Kat said looking at him before looking away.
“No thanks to you,” Six muttered.
Kronos said nothing as they left the elevator and jumped on the awaiting pelicans as a covenant drop ship fired on them. Kronos turned around blasting away as they jumped on to the pelican.
“That would have been useful before went dicking around with the enemy, would made Jorge and mine mission a lot easier,” Six snapped as sat down next to Kat ,glaring at Kronos under his helmet.
Kronos once again said nothing but just watched as a nearby building fell the ground.
“The covenant really don’t care about collateral damage do they?” Kronos muttered.
“They're not here to take the planet, just kill the people on it,” Kat asked as they flew away from the burning city.
Much later.
“Why are you guys on a tank?” Kronos asked as he hovered next to them.
“Bitches love cannons,” Six said replied as he manned the cannon.
“Wait can you even pick up girls in a tank?” Jon asked.
“Not sure but worth a shot,” Emile said.
“Idiots, I'm surrounded by idiots,” Kat facepalmed.
“You and me both sister,” Carter laughed. When they approached like thirtysomething torrents fired at them.
“Time some shoot some bitches!” Six say blowing up a bunch of the turrets.
“I'll get the hover tanks things, you get the shooty bois,” Kronos says blast a bunch of wraths as they made their way towards them.
They found themselves in sword base fairly quickly. A trigger happy Six and blast crazy Kronos are not things one would want to face in battle.
“So what are we doing here again?” Kronos asked looking around the white lobby they found themselves in, with obvious curiosity.
“We’re here to pick something up for HQ before we leave planet,” Kat said as she found a hidden panel in the wall the opened up to a elevator.
“Omg its the batcave!” Six said excitedly.
“Omg can we drive the batmobile?” Kronos asked jumping down looking at with childlike joy Kat.
“Note too self try and seprete Six and Kronos as soon as possible,” Kat muttered.
When they reached the bottom Kronos and Six glared at Kat.
“What?” Kat asked.
“This isn’t the batcave Kat, you lied to us,” Kronos said.
“I never said it was!” Kat said looking at them in shock.
“How could you do this to us Kat?” Six said shaking his head.
“I can’t believe you’ve done this,” Carter said shaking his head as they all one by one passed a very frustrated Kat shaking their head.
“You have betrayed us Kat I can’t believe you,” Jon said shaking his head.
“This isn’t very cash money,” Emile said shaking his head as he too left the elevator.
Kat glared at them as they left before following them inside the bunker.
They walked into a room where a woman was taking out a cylinder with a blue ball of energy in it.
“He- oh you brought him, good I have something for you,” The woman said taking out a helmet and throwing it to him.
“Upload this AI to this spare ONI trooper helmet ,she’s safest with someone of your caliber, make sure you get her to the autumn,” The woman said.
“Sure thing,” Kronos said putting on the helmet and grabbing the cylinder before looking at her.
“What?” She asked.
“How do I-?” Kronos asked motioning to the device with a blush.
“Ugh let me see,” She said shaking her head and hooked a cable from the device the helmet and taking of his cloak roughly to but on a power backpack for the helmet.
“Hey!” Kronos said making a grab for the cloak.
“You get it back when you finish your mission,” The woman said yanking it away.
“Fine,” Kronos said before getting distracted by a loading screen on his new HUD.
“Hello,” A woman said in his helmet.
“Sup,” Kronos said.
“My names Cortana, what’s yours?” Cortana asked.
“Kronos,” Kronos said.
“You heart rate says you lying buddy,” Cortana said.
“Hmph, well then just call me whatever you want,” Kronos said getting annoyed already.
“Sure thing Bob,” Cortana snickered.
“Bitch,” Kronos said with a glare.
“Faggot,” Cortana snapped back.
They remained silent for a few seconds.
“Wanna be best friends?” Kronos asked.
“Sure,” Cortana said.
“Okie dokie,” Kronos said flying out of the cave thing.
“So you AI’s how long do you guys last? Or do you just live forever like nokia phones?” Kronos asked with a chuckle they flew into the sky.
“About seven years before we go crazy on second note did you just reference the nokia phone meme, its like fifty years old or something let it die dude,” Cortana said.
“NEVER, as for the you lifespan thing, if I ever find something to help you with that, Ill let ya know,” Kronos said.
“Really why?,” Cortana said.
“Well I wouldn’t have any use for it,would I?” Kronos asked with smile.
“Fair enough,” Cortana said as they landed inside the hanger of a giant strangely shaped spaceship.
“Good, your here with the A.I,” A man in a white military uniform and several marks of decoration showing his high rank.
“Yep here ya go,” Kronos said taking the helmet of before disappearing. Leaving the man standing there awkwardly.
Kronos appeared in front of the woman who took his cloak and grabbing it before putting it back on, “Okay, I gotta go, bye!” suddenly disappearing before reappearing on a mountain.
“Know what, being a boy was exciting at first, but now I just wanna be a girl again, this just kinda feels weird,” Kronos said as green flames turned him into a she, now wearing a royale purple top, and black leather pants, and purple boots. She let her hair flow freely down her back ,nearing her waist but not quite reaching it.
“Ah that’s better,” She sighs before smiling and using the instant transmission.
She popped in front of Thel who was polishing his armor in his chambers, giving the warrior a start by her sudden appearance.
“Hi, Thelly!” Kronos said with grin.
“Who the heck are you?!” Thel muttered quite loudly.
“I'll give you three guesses, dumb ass,” Kronos deadpanned.
“So its you, the one that nearly kicked my ass as humans would say.” Thel sighed.
“Ding ding ding! We have a winner, you get dis!” Kronos said spinning around before a hex seal flew around Thel’s wrist and changed into a sentence in language Thel couldn’t read.
“What the!? More magic!?” Thel sighed in annoyance.
“Yep its a commutation spell, level two I think, I linked it to my mind, so just say Apeta Channel! And bam you can talk to me, oh and Prope Channel, and it will go invisible,” Kronos said before thinking for a second, “Hey you want somethin, really good?”
“Uh sure?” Thel said not sure at all.
“Okay hold your breath this is gonna hurt like a bitch!” Kronos said with a grin, “And I should know, I am one!” She took out her sword and cut her hand the blood soaking into the blade, she muttered several incantations under her breath, and grunted in pain as her hand was consumed in blue fire, the fire flew of her hand leaving it heavily burned and forming to a ball of energy, the ball flew into Thel causing him to grunt in pain as a white light surrounded him.
“Let see if it worked,” Kronos said taking out a pair of gloves and putting them on with a grimace, “That’s going to hurt for awhile, okay now show mama those pretty gold eyes of yours,”
Thel opens his eyes, then gives a deadpan. “What was that supposed to do?” Thel asked.
“Level five, genetic transfer, it's pretty advanced, and I wasn’t able to perfectly master it, so not only did I have to take a genetic sample, but your gonna be woosy, maybe a bit nauseous, oh and the pain thing is something a professional user of this spell would laugh at me for giving by accident,” Kronos sighed, “Anyway here take a portion of my chakra, it’ll get your chakra network going,” She put a hand on his head and suddenly she felt his chakra surge.
“No way, his body took it so quickly, it only took a few seconds but he’s already got a full function chakra network,” Kronos thought to herself in shock, “This guy’s like some kind of prodigy, just who the fuck are Thel?”
“What's wrong? What's with that look?” Thel asked.
“N-nothing, its nothing, I have to go now, call me if you need my help for that plan or whatever you going do in the future,” Kronos said shaking a bit before saying, “So that little power up will hopefully keep you alive, if the prophet guys try and kill ya with a army and stuff, cuz I think you too intresting to die quickly, that and Im starting to think I suck at saving people,”
Kronos appeared in front a tall guy with long hair, Bulma,a flying cat, and a talking pig who ran past him in hurry.
“Hey where you guys off too in such a hurry!” Kronos laughed before something huge slammed her into the ground.
Kronos got up slowly grabbing the large hairy fist as it tried to hit him again.
“No,” She said her eyes cold with rage turning to see that she was locked in combat with a giant monkey.
“Whoa that girl is strong!” Bulma said in shock before saying, “Hey she looks familiar,”
“Sup Bulma, Its me Kronos, I got bored of being a boy so I went back to being a girl,” Kronos said waving at her with a smile.
Everyone except her and the monkey suddenly fell over in shock.
“Well in any case, be careful Goku transformed into a giant monkey when he looked at the full moon!” Bulma said pointing to the full moon, which prompted Kronos to look at said moon.
“Oh wow it look re-” Kronos suddenly stopped in her tracks, her heart began to beat wilding, her eyes began to glow red, and she got bigger and bigger until she too was a huge golden oozaru.
“Oh my money,” Bulma said in shock.
“Don’t you mean god?” The man next to her asked.
“You worship your thing I'll worship mine,” Bulma snapped.
The two giant apes roared at the small people, but before Goku could attack them the Kronos accidentally stepped on his tail. This cause the Goku to turn on his adoptive sister in a rage biting her arm. Kronos roared and punched him away. Goku roared back and charged grappling onto Kronos and biting down on her shoulder. Kronos roared in pain grabbing Goku and throwing him back,”
“Kronos please remember! I may not know you that well, but seeing you with Goku, the way you smiled when you were with him, I know that you would never hurt him, so are you going to let yourself rampage like some stupid monkey ,or are you gonna stand up and put end to this!?” Bulma yelled out.
Kronos looked at her, baring her teeth, before stopping and cocking her head, her eyes widening before looking back to the moon in the sky, and stretching her arms out to it letting out a cry. Kronos roared as her body began to shrink her fur receding to her back and sides, keeping her chest uncovered except for her nipple as it turned into a blood red color , her purple hair became a spiky mess as three of her long banks covered her right eye, her eyes were now yellow with red underliner. She then arched back and howled at the moon as her orange aura exploded around her.
“Oh wow, this feels pretty good,” Kronos said in deeper voice, licking her lips in suggestive way.
Goku roared and charged her head on. Kronos jumped onto his head and grabbed his tail. She held it patiently until blue lightning like energy began to spike from it and Goku began to revert. Kronos turned to a naked Goku picking him up and wrapping him in her cloak, before cradling him in her arms.
“Sleep tight little tike,” Kronos whispered lovingly as she reverted back to normal, “Sorry baby bro, maybe if I had been here sooner this wouldn’t have happened, damn I’m useless,” She muttered.
“Wow Kronos you really popped in at shitty time you know that! If it wasn’t for my sensational talking skills we’d all be dead right now!” Bulma scolded.
“Yea sorry, I should have checked in first, but I forgot to give you a way to contact me,” Kronos said with a blush.
“Well there goes my wish for the perfect boyfriend,” Bulma sighed.
“And there goes my wish to be able to talk to girls,” The man next to her sighed.
They stopped and looked at each other before looking at each other all lovey dovey, and doing a ridiculous little duo dance thing.
“Bleck,” Kronos said rolling her eyes, the cat and the pig nodding in agreement, “Anyways I'm going to take Goku,and skedaddle that ok with you guys?”
“Sure,” Bulma and the guy said in union.
Kronos rolled her eyes and flew off still cradling Goku in her arms.
The next day Goku woke up with a yawn and looked around the cave he was in before spotting Kronos who was still sleeping. Goku walked up to her and patted he on the face.
Kronos woke up with a groan and give a Goku a fake pout.
“Hi, what’s your name?” Goku asked happily.
“Its me Ka, Kronos, I got bored of being a boy so I went back to being a girl,” Kronos laughed.
“Oh hi big bro- wait that’s not right, Hi big sis! Oh also you must have forgotten my name ,its Goku!” Goku said with a big smile.
Kronos burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?” Goku asked cocking his head in confusion.
“It's a nickname, Ka,” Kronos laughed.
“What’s a nickname?” Goku asked with his eyes full of curiosity.
“It's a name you give someone either cuz their name is too long, or as little name you give to people you like,” Kronos said.
“But my name only has six letters in it,” Goku said in confusion.
“Baby you name only has four letters,” Kronos said with a giggle.
“My names is not baby,” Goku said in confusion, “My name is Goku, but my nickname is Ka, neither of those are baby, you must have forgotten again,”
Kronos burst into a fit of giggles, “Baby, Sweety, Darling, Sweetheart,”
“None of those words are my name,” Goku pouted cutting her off.
“I call you those things cuz your a cute wittle baby!” Kronos said giggling maddly.
“I'm not a baby,” Goku pouted.
“Aw, is da baby hungry,” Kronos teased.
“Yes!” Goku said getting up excitedly.
“You eat solid food right?” Kronos asked slyly.
“There’s liquid food,” Goku asked in shock.
Kronos face palmed, “Alright let’s go get something to eat,”
“Yay! What are we gonna go hunting for?” Goku asked.
“Anything that's not a human,” Kronos said with a smirk as they both jumped into the forest.
About half hour later.
Kronos and Goku were munching down on a T-Rex they just happened upon in this forest and cooked over a flame that Kronos had conjured up.
“Wow big sis, you killed this big lizard really quick!” Goku laughed as he took another bite out of his cut of the meat, which was larger than Kronos’s by a fair amount.
“Yep,” Kronos said munching on rib.
“So while you were gone we found those Dragon Balls things, and then I accidentally looked at the moon and then I woke up in the-” Goku rattled on before Kronos said stopped him.
“Ka, I know this part,” Kronos laughed.
“Oh right,” Goku laughed scratching the back of his head.
“Anywho, what do plan to do next,” Kronos asked Goku.
“I was gonna train with this guy called Master Roshi, but maybe you could train me instead,You must really strong if you could move so fast, right big sis!?” Goku said excitedly.
Kronos thought about it for a second before saying, “No your not quite strong enough for my training yet, train with this Roshi guy then ask me again, in fact I'll go with you, but first I'm going to store this for later, you remember what I taught you about flying right?”
“Yea!” Goku said flying into the air happily.
“Okay go to Master Roshi’s and wait for me,” Kronos said opening up a portal and levitating the food with her.
“Okay!” Goku said flying off.
A few minutes later Goku zipped back with a pant.
“Back so soon?” Kronos laughed.
“Master Roshi told me he would only bring a pretty girl or he wouldn’t train me!” Goku said with look.
“Aw, you think I'm pretty, Ka?” Kronos said with flattered smile.
Goku nodded happily.
“Alright let's go I guess,” Kronos shrugged.
They were soon on a very small island with a pink shack that “kame house” on the side.
“We’re here,” Goku said happily.
“Goku is that you? Did- OH SWEET MERCY LOOK AT THOSE CANNONS!” A old man with a white goatee esc beard and mustache, and sunglasses, he was bald and wore a purple turtle shell, with a purple wood staff.
Roshi began to bleed out of his nose profusely.
“What cannons?” Goku asked in confusion.
“He’s talking about my girls, Ka,” Kronos sighed in annoyance.
“Your what?” Goku asked.
Kronos simply pointed at her double D tits, in annoyance.
“Why is he excited by those?” Goku asked coking his head in confusion.
“I'll explain when you older,” Kronos said shaking her head in disgust.
“Heh, heh, sorry about that you caught me by surprise, I sent Goku to find a girl not a woman!” Roshi said dialing up the charm to eleven.
“Eyes up here gramps,” Kronos said with a dirty look.
“Crap she can see through the glasses?” Roshi muttered.
“No, It's just obvious where your eyes are fixed,” Kronos said giving him a disapproving glare.
“Sheesh Goku you really did grabee quite a spitfire, not gonna lie, you have excellent taste in women ma boy! Heh heh heh!” Roshi laughed.
“Whatever old man,” Kronos said turning around to hide her blush with a pout.
“I think my charms are working Goku, heh heh!” Roshi said as Goku looked on in confusion.
“Master Roshi,” A voice said getting everyone’s attention.
Everyone turned to see a small bald boy who was holding several magazines.
“I have come to receive you training here is my offering,” The young boy said dropping the magazines, which Roshi and Kronos immediately recognized as porn.
Kronos’s face became a deep tomato red, as it contorted into rage, “YOU LITTLE PERVERT!” She screamed preparing to slap him. Fortunately for the young boy he had expected this reaction and quickly explained.
“I'm only doing this because it's the only way to get Master Roshi to train me,” The young boy said matter factly.
This seemed to calmed her down quite a bit, but she still gave the young boy a glare as she grabbed Goku away from the magazines when he went to investigate them.
“No Ka, we don’t look at girls when they aren't wearing clothes it's not nice,” Kronos scolded.
“Oh ok,” Goku said giving her big puppy dog eyes.
Kronos gave him a nod, before saying, “Welp I'm going to go train, I've haven’t had the chance lately, so have fun I guess,”
“Wait! I won’t train the boy unless you stay,” Roshi said slyly.
Kronos frozen up before turning and giving him a death glare, before looking over to Goku who giving him sad puppy dog eyes.
“Please don’t leave big sis, I really wanna train under him,” Goku said whimpering a bit.
Kronos looked at him for a second before sighing and saying, “Alright fine, I’ll just train tonight or something,”
“Very well then, before we begin, I find it a shame that a woman of your obvious physical strength would not wear a martial arts uniform to fit you level of strength,” Roshi said his glasses shining brightly for a second.
“How did you-” Kronos said turning back to him in shock.
“Now listen here young lady, I've lived a long time, and trained both myself and others during that time, and that has allowed me to spot a student of martial arts with a single glance,” Roshi said with a smirk aweing everyone present.
“Wow that's amazing old man!” Kronos said her eyes sparkling in awe.
“Indeed I made sure to keep a martial art uniform on my couch just for you, hope it fits,” Roshis said his smile growing huge as she entered his house before turning to Goku and saying, “Say you want your big sis to train with us right?”
Goku nodded excitedly.
“Well then I can’t allow her to do so without wearing her uniform, hear that? You’ll disappoint poor sweet Goku if you don't wear it,” Roshi said grinning Kronos walked out her face tomato red.
She was now wearing one of those sexy bunny costumes, with the ears and the black spandex that showed a huge amount of her cleage and a bit of side boob.
Roshi laughed madly as Kronos shot a death glare at him.
“That’s a weird looking gi,” Goku said tilting his head in confusion, why krillin blushed profusely unable to take his eyes of the older woman.
“I’ve never been so embarrassed in my entire life,” She said gritting her teeth, “I’m fine with a but of cleavage, but these bunny ears are ridiculous!”
Roshi continued to laughed before turning to Goku and Krillin, “Alright now, Im going to go move my house to where we will be training, lets go now boys, and you too of course lady! Heh heh!” Roshis said grinning at her again very pleased with himself.
Kronos continued to glare at Roshis as he pressed a button on the side of the house turing it into a small capsule with a poof of smoke, causing Kronos to jump back in surprise.
“What’s wrong sweet cheeks never seen a capsule before?” Roshi laughed.
“My name is Kronos and no this is a first,” She said picking it up in curiosity, unfortunately this allowed Roshi to sneak behind and obsererve her back side with a grin.
Kronos blushed when she realized what he was doing and turned to glare at him with a pout.
“This gonna be a long day,” Kronos muttered.
“More like a long eight months,” Roshi grinned.
“What?” Kronos asked in confusion.
“I plan to enter Goku and Krillin in the world martial tournament in eight months, if they are strong enough by then,” Roshi explained, when the boys heard this they got very excited.
“A tournament, hmm sound interesting,” Kronos said thinking for a second.
“Do you plan on entering the tournament yourself,” Roshi asked.
“Hmm maybe, depends on how strong the contestants are,” Kronos shrugged.
“Hmm fair,” Roshi asking, “Um could I have my house back?”
“Oh right sorry,” Kronos said tossing the capsule to Roshi.
“Right then, I suppose we should get going,” Roshi said with a nod.
They left for a larger island that had a huge forest, a large lake, and several cities around the island.
Roshi then wrote something on a stone while, as Kronos leaned up on the house (she had just finished changing back to her old clothes saying that since she wasn’t train with them it would be silly of her to wear a gi, to displasure of Roshi, who then noticed that her original outfit was revealing enough for him so he was fine with it,).
“Alright boys, I'm going to throw this stone into the forest, last one back with it doesn’t get the dinner that Kronos has so graciously agreed to cook,” Roshi said grinning as Kronos jumped in surprise.
“Wait what?” She asked in shock and anger.
“Surely you don’t mind, I mean you don’t even have to wear your uniform, or do really anything,” Roshi laughed.
Kronos sighed and said, “Sure I actually like cooking you should have just asked,”
“Where’s the fun in that?” Roshi chuckled.
Kronos rolled her eyes and walked inside, walking over to the fridge and opening it,only to find that it was empty.
Kronos grumbled in annoyance exiting the house and flying of in search of some animal or something she could cook. She came back with a huge fish, and took a few minutes cutting of what she wanted to cook,before frying it bit by bit in Roshi's kitchen. She then searched the cupboards for some kind of seasoning, finding what she wanted and a plastic bag of rice. She face palmed at her stupidity, as she had not thought to search the cupboard for anything worth cooking before going on her little hunting trip.She began boiling the rice, hoping she had enough time to finish it and the fish by the time the boys got back. She decided that it might be a good idea to bring in some of the grilled T-Rex meat she had been storing, just for some variety. A sizable bit of time later Kronos wiped the sweat off her brow with pride, she carefully picked up the giant plate of rice, fish,and T-Rex steak(It honestly didn’t look like anything fancy as she had just thrown it all on a huge plater) and placed it on the table in the small living room.
“Okay,” She said perking up a bit,and walking outside, “Boys dinner’s ready!”
“Ah just in time!” Roshi said as Krillin and him walked inside Krillin wearing a smug grin.
Goku came running up looking devastated.
“I can’t believe I lost,” Goku said sadly.
“Alright let's eat,” Kronos said with a sigh as they all sat down except Goku who had to stand up and wait.
Kronos looked at the food before saying, “Know what I'm not hungry, see you guys late I guess,”
Everyone looked at her in shock as she left the house and flew off.
“Wait big sis I'm coming too!” Goku said but Kronos didn’t hear him as she was deep in thought as she flew, not even noticing the young boy following her close behind.
She touched down in rocky wasteland like area, and took a deep breath, not noticing Goku who had decided to hide behind a nearby rock.
“Alright guess I should train in that gold haired form, Its ki control is pretty bad right now,” Kronos said as she began to power up her purple aura flaring around her. Her aura turned gold as her hair began to flash gold. Goku watched with big eyes full of awe as he watched her power up even more, until her hair was brilliant gold. She then began to float as she meditated.
Goku toddled over to her grabbing her tail to get her attention. She jumped up in shock.
“Goku what the fuck are you doing?” Kronos said before clapping her hands over her mouth realizing her mistake way too late.
“I don’t know what the fuck are you doing,” Goku said not skipping the beat not realizing that he probably shouldn’t say ‘fuck’.
“Welp too late now,” Kronos muttered, “Training, kinda, I'm trying to see if I could decrease the ki cost with meditation,”
“Oh ok,” Goku nodding, “Wanna fight?”
“I told you Ka I do-” Kronos said before Goku cut her off by punching her in the face, “Ok you really wanna do this?”
Goku nodded with a smirk as he got into a fighting pose.
“Alright don’t hold back baby bro,” Kronos smirked crossing her arms,as her hair returned to it normal purple.
Goku charged forward and tried to punch Kronos again, only for her to dodge effortlessly out the way.
Goku gritted his teeth and tried again, and again, and again. He stopped for a second before getting an idea. He charged again and punched Kronos went to dodge, only for Goku to suddenly turn mid air and hit her dead on with a kick. It didn’t do anything except surprise Kronos.
“Not bad, you learn quickly,” Kronos laughed.
“Alright, take this Ka-Me-Ha-Me-HA!” Goku said as he charged a blue sphere of energy before blasting a beam of energy as he pushed the sphere forward. The blast parted around Kronos before it even got within a foot of her.
“Eh not bad, i'll give it a solid four out of ten,” Kronos said looking her nails, having lost interest a while ago.
Goku looked disappointed before powering up like Kronos was earlier.
“Whatcha doing Ka,” Kronos asked gently.
“I'm going to turn my hair gold, so I can win,” Goku said his white arua flaring around but not changing color in the slightest.
“Silly Ka, you can’t go gold, your too wittle,” Kronos cooed.
“I'm not little, I'm a big boy!” Goku pouted now trying even harder to go gold, before stopping and looking up at Kronos asking, “How did you turn your hair gold big sis?”
Kronos stood and though for a second before saying, “No idea!”
“What, seriously?” Goku asked in shock.
“Maybe you just need to get strong enough,” Kronos shrugged.
“Oh okay,” Goku said suddenly yawning.
“Tired?” Kronos asked crouching down it his level with a gentle smile.
“No, Im going to go train so I can turn gold,” Goku said with another yawn.
“Your not gonna be able train if your too tired Ka,” Kronos said gently.
Goku nodded and yawned again, Kronos picked him up and cradled him in her arms before flying back to Roshi’s house.
Roshi walked to her and whispered, “You and Goku can have the room upstairs, good night, Kronos,”
Kronos gave him a thankful smile before walking up stairs. She placed him on the large matt on the floor and pulled a white T-Shirt she had packed in her hammer space, She stripped down to her panties and slipped into the large T-Shirt before slipping under the covers with Goku, pulling him close prompting the sleeping boy to curl up into a ball, Kronos doing the same, there tails wrapping around each other.
Author's Note
Id like apologize,the last time I posted this chap it didnt post the whole thing,its all here so again sorry
“Goku wake up it's time for training!” Roshi yelled from downstairs.
Kronos woke up with yawn, her hair an absolute mess. As she tried to get up Goku snuggled up even closer,with a slight whine his tail wrapping around her tail harder.
Kronos giggled and then whispered into the young boy’s ear, “Goku breakfast if ready,”
Goku shot up and looked around drooling, “W-where!?”
Kronos burst into a fit of giggles, falling over laughing for a bit before getting up her legs in lotus position and saying, “No where, tell you what you get your mourning training done, and big sis will have a big breakfast ready, for you, especially since you don’t get anything to eat last night,” She said with a grin.
Goku dashed down stairs and Kronos could hear him begging to start training.
Kronos shook her head and got dressed before walking down stairs, and going into the bathroom ,she looked into the mirror and sighed, she got undressed and started up the shower stepping and took a short shower, wrapping herself up in a towel, assuming that she would be alone in the house giving her time to dry off, before she got breakfast ready. Unfortunately Master Roshi had heard the shower being started and was waiting for her like the pervert he was.
“Enjoy yourself?” Roshi said his glasses shining white ,scaring the shit out of Kronos and causing her to drop the towel she was covering herself with.
Roshi took a quick picture and booked it before Kronos realized what happened.
“ROSHI!!!” Kronos said wrapping the towel around herself again, grabbing a frying pan from the kitchen and chasing the old pervert outside, her face a redder than a tomato.
Roshi caclked madly as he dashed away into the distance.
Kronos grumbled in annoyance, not wanting to chase after for fear someone would see her. She walked back in and decided just power up to her gold haired form to heat herself up, she then got dressed and went hunting for breakfast. She just ended up making what she did yesterday, but with more meat,as she didn’t have anything else to cook.A couple of hours later, Goku dashed through door smelling the food and sitting down at the table,where the food was waiting, in excitement. He made a grab for a piece of meat with the chopsticks on the table, only to get a firm slap on the hand from Kronos.
“We have to wait for Krill, and the pervert,” Kronos scolded.
Goku pouted as Krillin and Roshi walked in, Roshi grinning at Kronos. As Roshi sat down he looked straight at Kronos with a shit eating grin.
“Good to know the curtains match the drapes,” Roshi cackled.
Kronos looked at him in a rage ,”Motherfucker,”
Goku perked up and asked, “Motherfucker can you pass the salt?”
Everyone looked at Goku in shock.
“What that’s his nickname right?” Goku asked in confusion.
“No sweetie, that was a insult,” Kronos said glaring at Roshi.
“Don’t glare at me, your the one who taught it to him,” Roshi shrugged.
Kronos shot him a look and stormed out of the house in frustration.
“Wait aren't you going to ea-” Roshi aske Kronos slamming the door cutting him off. He then noticed that Goku was glaring at him.
“What?” Roshi asked.
“You upset big sis,” Goku said giving him a dirty look before starting to eat.
Roshi shook his head, before he too began to eat, Krillin had been silent this entire time he finished eating his fill and jumped up running outside.
“Where are you going Krillin?” Roshi asked the young boy.
“There’s something I need to do,” Krillin said determined look.
Krillin dashed away and found Kronos punching into a slab of rock that shattered under her blows, She looked pissed as she began to kick and punch the air rapidly.
“Um Miss Kronos,” Krillin piped up holding a piece of a paper up to her.
She turned to the boy in a rage, calming down when she saw him.
“Oh hey Krill, what are doing here sweetie, shouldn’t you be eating?” Kronos asked looking worried.
“I already finished, I just wanted to give you this, I took it off Master Roshi when he wasn’t looking,” Krillin said holding it out.
Kronos cocked her in curiosity, and took the paper, she took the paper and looked at before looking at the young boy who was blushing a bit, Kronos gave him a little kiss on his forehead before ripping up the picture.
“Thanks for getting back from him Krill,” Kronos said with a warm smile.
“Y-your welcome,” Krillin said his face now a deep shade of red.
Kronos giggled, knowing exactly why he was blushing, “Now then you get back to training, and so will I m’kay?”
Krillin nodded furiously dashing away. Kronos shook her head and went back to training. For the next eight months,Kronos trained between cooking meals and meditating, she hadn’t yet broken through the wall to the next level, that she knew in her gut existed. And then one morning Goku woke up before her and shook her awake.
“Sis today's the day!” Goku said with excitement as she woke up with a groan, he put on the fifty pound purple turtle shell he had been instructed to wear everyday,as well as his orange gi.
“What day, what are we doing,” Kronos groaned as she got up groggily, her shirt falling of left shoulder, almost completely revealing her left breast.
“The tournament is today!” Goku squealed.
“Oh cool, I’m gonna take a shower so you guys go on ahead of me,” Kronos yawned.
Goku nodded headed down stairs. After making sure they were gone, Kronos walked downstairs and took a quick shower, she powered up to dry off and got dressed. She waited till Goku’s ki signature had stopped moving,this took several hours, to instant transmission right in front of them. Everyone jumped back in surprise and Goku looked her after she took her fingers off her forehead. Goku frowned and put two fingers to his head as everyone else recovered.
“I was expecting you to fly here, but if you can teleport that works too,” Roshi said with a nod.
“Yea I just concentrate on someone's ki signature and bam I can teleport to them,” Kronos said with a shrug as Goku suddenly appeared behind her.
“Hey I figured it out!” Goku said with a big smile.
“Whoa that was fast,”Kronos said looking very impressed.
“It wasn’t that hard,” Goku shrugged.
“Yes I've noticed that Goku is quite the fast learner,” Roshi said with thoughtful nod.
“Welp guess we should head to the tournament stage,” Kronos said giving Goku a curious look.
Goku was currently enjoying his new move, teleporting all over the place.
Goku than suddenly said happily, “BULMA!” He disappeared suddenly and Kronos grabbed Roshi and Krillin before disappearing awell.
They reappeared in front Goku who was giving Bulma a hug, with the pigman watching near them. He caught sight of Kronos and walked up to her.
“Hi, um we weren’t formly introduced when you saved us from Goku,” He said with a friendly smile holding his hand out.
“Oh right ,that was a long time ago, names Kronos, yours?” Kronos asked shaking his hand.
“Oolong! Nice to meet you!” Oolong said with a nod.
“Cool,” Kronos said looking around and feeling the ki of everyone there, before sighing in disappointment.
“What’s wrong?” Oolong asked giving her a worried look.
“I was hoping there would be someone here strong enough to challenge me,but everyone here is too weak, oh well at least I can watch Ka fight, wonder how strong he’s gotten,” Kronos said shaking her head.
“Ka?” Oolong asked.
“Ya?” Goku asked turning to Oolong.
“Wait why does she calls you Ka Goku?” Oolong asked giving Goku a look that said”that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard”.
“Its my nickname,” Goku said happily.
“Ok but why though?” Oolong asked.
“Because Ku sounds too much like coo, so I was like ‘why not just call him ka?’” Kronos said with a nod.
“Ok then,” Oolong said with shrug.
“Hey Kronos you pop in and you don’t so much as give me a hello, come on sister throw me a bone here,” Bulma laughed as she walked up to Kronos.
Kronos rolled her eyes before saying, “Hey Bulma you look like your doing good for yourself,”
Bulma nodded and said, “Yea I forgot to ask you how you do that verse hopping thing,”
“Magic,” Kronos shrugged.
Bulma didn’t to seem like that answer but accepted it with a pout.
“Anyways I'm going to go find some seats or something,” Kronos said walking off.
She flew off and sat down in the stands, before taking a book out and waiting for the event to start. It took awhile but eventually the main matches began. Kronos looked on in boredom as several of the matches were just normal fighters. Eventually it was Krillin's turn, and he was up against a giant who didn’t like he knew what hygiene was. Krillin tried to defend against the giant’s attack but his opponent but his hand in his armpit, and threw a punch. The smell caused Krillian to drop his guard in disgust, before being thrown back.
Kronos jumped up and shouted, “Krillin you don’t have a nose it’s all in your head,”
Krillin looked up at her, his eyes widening with the realization.
He gave Kronos a confident smile and said, “Thanks Ms. Kronos!” Krillin then quickly defeated him by drop kicking him out of the ring. Krillin looked up Kronos with a big smile. Kronos gave him a nod of approval. Next up was a old man with white hair and a black gi, with the young man, Bulma had gone off with eight months ago. The young man unleashed a flurry of blow on the old man, who dodged each blow effortlessly. Kronos looked on now very intrested.
“Huh strong for and old man,” Kronos muttered.
“There you are!” Bulma said as she and Oolong sat next to Kronos, the flying cat from eight month sat next to them as well.
“Oh your the lady that turned into a giant ape with Goku, awhile back,Im Puar, what’s your name,” The cat asked floating up to Kronos.
“Kronos,” The purple haired woman said without taking her eyes off the fight.
“Whoa, looks like Yamcha’s having a tough time with that old man,” Bulma said looking worried.
“Hmph, yea Roshi is stronger than I gave him credit him for,” Kronos nodded.
“ROSHI!?” They all said in shock.
“He must have joined the tournament to test Goku and Krillin,” Kronos said with a sigh.
“That makes sense,” Bulma said thoughtfully, “They might hold back if if they know it's Roshi,”
“Yea too bad Goku has already figured it out,” Kronos said pointing to Goku who was talking to Krilian excitedly from the sidelines, prompting Krillin to look at Roshi in shock as the old man hit the air with a enough force to kick Yamcha out of the ring. Yamcha looked at the old man in shock before walking to where he had spotted Bulma and gang waiting.
“Hey Kronos, your a fighter right?” Yamcha asked.
Kronos nodded, “I assume you figured it out as well,”
“So it is Master Roshi, whoa he’s really strong!” Yamcha said looking impressed.
“For a human,” Kronos shrugged.
“Yea I bet your a lot stronger than any of us, that’s why your not in the tournament right?” Yamcha asked.
Kronos nodded and watched as a tall man and a purple haired woman walked onto the arena, Kronos immediately lost interest.
“So what have you been doing lately?” Yamcha asked noticing that Kronos looked bored, and being the friendly guy he is decided to make some small talk.
“Cooking meals for Roshi, and his students ,when I'm not training,” Kronos said nonchalantly.
“The path of training never ends!” Yamcha laughed.
“Yep,” Kronos said with a nod and a chuckle.
“Well the next fight is starting soon,” Yamcha noted.
“I can’t believe that woman tried to use stripping to giver her the win!” Bulma said with a disgusted look.
“Looks like Goku is up next,” Kronos said as the young boy walked up onto the stage, and a large dragon man with a blue smooth skin on its back, and a green underbelly.
“Who do you think is gonna win?” Yamcha asked.
“Goku obviously,” Kronos said watching as Goku dodged the Dragon’s blue energy which tried to form a big pink goo around him, but failed as he flew up into the air.
“Whoa he can fly?” Yamcha said in surprise.
“Yea I'll show you later if you’d like,” Kronos offered.
“Oh thanks,” Yamcha said with nod.
“Don’t mention it,” Kronos said shrugging it off as Goku knocked the dragon man out of the ring with a single punch.
“Whoa Goku’s gotten a lot stronger eh?” Yamcha asked.
“Yea, guess that training with Master Roshi is paying off,” Kronos nodded.
“Yea that would do it,” Yamcha said with a laugh.
“I wonder how strong Goku really is?” Bulma asked.
“Eh I'd say around the same level as Roshi, maybe a bit weaker, but still power isn’t everything,” Kronos said looking at Goku with interest, Goku looked up to his big sister with hopeful eyes that asked “Did I do good?”
Kronos gave him a silent nod, putting a smile on the young boys face, as he walked back to the sidelines. It was Krillin’s turn as he walked up to face a disguised Master Roshi. Krillin charged forward unleashing a flurry of blows, which Roshi dodged quickly.
“Hmm I actually had to dodge those,” Roshi said looking impressed, before unleashing a barrage of his own, catching Krilian off guard.
Krillin got hit in the face sending him sliding away almost to the edge, Krillin looked surprised, but hardened his face with determination and the both clashed rapidly around the stage.
“Whoa, I can’t even keep up with them!” Yamcha said in shock.
“Wait you can’t see them?” Kronos asked in surprise.
“You can?” Yamcha asked.
Kronos nodded and was about to say something when the announcer, a tall man with blonde hair, sunglasses, and a black tuxedo, said, “Um what just happened?”
“Ah yes, I assume we were too fast for you to see us,” Roshi said nodding in understanding.
They then recreated their clash but slower, so the audience would be out of the loop.
“Okay now we will continue the fight!” Roshi said.
“I guess that means it's time for my secret weapon!” Krillin said making everyone look at him in surprise, Krillian then took out a pair of black panites and threw out the ring, “Jackie Chan I want you to have those!”
“Wait where did he get those” Yamcha asked before noticing that Kronos was surrounded in a dark aura.
“Those...are mine,” Kronos said in a dark tone.
“Kronos don’t do anything stupid, I’m sure he didn’t mean to embarrass you like that! I mean no one even knows it's yours!” Bulma said looking a bit panicked.
“Oh don’t worry I going to give him a piece of my mind when this fight is over!” Kronos growled.
Everyone scooted away from her as she glared down at Krillin as Roshi managed to stop himself from touching the ground, by using the kamehameha to propel himself back onto the stage. Everyone ,except Bulma and company, were completely caught off guard by this, looking on in amazement.
“So you can use that move too,” Krillin said.
“Indeed, I trained with Master Roshi a long time ago,and now I will end this fight” Roshi lied convincingly.
This made Krillin angry so he charged forward and threw a punch at Roshi, but Roshi had moved so fast he had left a afterimage that Krillin punched through it without realizing it was a after image, his surprise gave Roshi the opening he needed to punch him out of the ring.
“Jackie Chan is the victor,” The announcer shouted causing the crowd to cheer.
Krillin walked dejectedly over to where Bulma and company where waiting.
“Chin up, kid you did good, you can’t blame yourself for losing to Master Roshi,” Yamcha said giving Krillin a pat.
Krillin looked at Yamcha in surprise, “Wait that was Master Roshi but he sa-”
“He lied, obviously I think he’s doing this to test you two,” Kronos said cutting him off.
Krillin’s eyes widened in surprise before he looked down dejectedly, “Guess I failed huh?”
“Can’t say,” Kronos said shaking her head, “Oh and by the way,”
Krillin looked up at her expectantly, before Kronos smacked him upside his head.
“Ow!” Krillin said holding his head in pain.
“THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TAKING MY UNDERWEAR YOU LITTlE SHIT!!!” Kronos shouted at him.
“S-sorry, I thought they might be useful if I were to fight a pervy fighter,” Krillin said, “When Goku told me It was master Roshi I decided to use them against him,”
Kronos glared at him, turning around with a huff, before seeing Roshi stashing the panites into his pocket, looking straight at Kronos with a shit eating grin, that made her blood boil.
The next fight was Goku versus the tall man from before. They began trading blows, the man being able to keep Goku at bay with his superior skill, Goku then spinned into a tornado trying to knock the man out of the ring. The man however dodged his attacks nimbly, and when Goku became dizzy from the attack, he then jumped up into the high into the air and cross arms as the charged downward straight towards Goku, hitting him in his neck and sending him to the ground.
The man stood up and declared, “No man can awake sooner than ten days after that attack, start the count,”
The announcer looked at him in surprise before stampering out, “One, Two, Thr- He’s getting up!”
The man looks over to Goku, who is standing up grinning ear to ear.
“Very well then once more!” The man said jumpin into the air.
Goku laughed and flew into the air before punching him out the ring with several rapid blows.
“Goku wins!” The announcer declares.
The man gets up and with a heavy heart says, “Well done Son Goku, I wish you best of luck,”
“Thanks, your pretty strong, I hope to fight you again someday,” Goku said with a big grin.
“Thank you for you kindness, I bid you farewell,” The man said leaving the ring, and walking off.
Goku then walked off the ring to wait for the last match.
“We’re going to take a commercial break before the final match!” The announcer said prompting the audience to start talking among themselves.
“I wonder if Goku could beat Roshi?” Krillin asked.
“Probably not,” Kronos said with a shrug.
“Well aren’t you just a ball of sunshine, have some faith would you?” Bulma said glaring at her.
“You go on with your faith, I'll look at the facts,” Kronos said bluntly, “Roshi is about the same strength as Goku, but is by far a more skilled and experienced fighter,”
“She has a point,” Yamcha said Krillin also nodding.
“Hmph well I believe in Goku,” Bulma said shooting Kronos a glare.
Kronos and watched as Goku and Roshi taunted each other before they both fired a Kamehameha attack, the beams colliding for a minutes before they both fizzled, Goku then charged forward, Roshi quickly made two afterimages, he hit both not realizing that Roshi had sneaked up behind him and being kicked into the wall. Goku jumped back up and made three afterimages, Roshi attacked both of the quickly and then the third expecting it to be Goku, but was caught off guard when Goku attacked him from above slamming him to the ground.
“Very well then, I'll have to use the drunken fist!” Roshi said suddenly acting very drunk.
This caught Goku off guard, but he charged forward anyways Roshi wide motion dodging him easily. Goku growls and suddenly grows a big grin, as he started acting like a monkey, they dodged each other attacks as they danced around each other, Goku eventual was able to trip Roshi up with his tail, and slam him into the ground. Goku dashed to capitalize on this opening, but Roshi jumped back and seemed to be preparing a kamehameha, but suddenly he started using several hand motions muttering something, Goku suddenly fell asleep and plopped onto the stage.
“Start the count,” Roshi said calmly turning back to the sleeping boy.
The Announcer nodded said, “one...two...three,”
“Come on wake up Ka,” Kronos muttered gritting her teeth.
“Four...Five...Six-”
Goku suddenly jumped up and yelled, “Paper!” While balling up his fist.
Roshi punched forward with the hand motion for scissors, but was shocked when Goku punched him in the face hurting his eyes with the blow.
“That was dirty! Calling out Paper, when you we’re using Rock, you made a fool out of me!” Roshi said getting angry before launching a beam of elastic energy, that froze Goku place.
“Only your grandfather ,Gohan, was ever able to break out of this attack, give up Goku,” Roshi said with a determined look.
Goku struggled in the grasp of the attack, for about a minute before he looked like he was about to give, he looked up the sky was darkened as it was getting closer to night, but what caught his attention was the full moon above, his eyes glowed red as he let out a snarl, growing into a giant ape and letting out a roar that sent the audience running and screaming. Kronos flared up her purple aura and charged at Goku, taking him out with a solid punch to gut and reverting him to his base form.
“Wow an amazing victory for are surprise challenger,” The announcer said, “Who would have seen this coming!”
The crowd cheered as they returned to their seats in suspense.
Kronos looked annoyed by the attention she was getting and started to walk toward the edge of the stage.
“Wait,at least give them a show, after all you took out my opponent,you might as well treat me to a fight,” Roshi called out to her.
Kronos stopped and looked over her shoulder at him, sighing and turned to him, taking a fighting pose, prompting the crowd to cheer.
Roshi suddenly buffed and charged a kamehameha, he launched a much bigger beam of blue energy right at Kronos, prompting her to fire a yellow beam of energy cutting through the attack and almost hitting Roshi.Roshi dashed forward and attacked Kronos hitting her afterimage, she then appeared behind him and kicked him out of the ring. By this time Goku had woken up and charged his big sister, not noticing he was completely naked. She sidestepped his attack and with a chop to the neck knocked him out again. She brought out her cloak, that she had been keeping in her hammerspace, and wrapped Goku in it.
“Hmph well done your quite strong,” Rosh said walking up to her.
“And the winner of the twenty first world martial arts tournament is,” The announcer then leaned in to and asked, “Um what’s your name Ma’am,”
“Kronos,” She said as she rocked Goku in her arms,causing the young to cuddle up to her happily.
“Son Kronos!” The announcer shouted.
“Son?” Kronos asked raising an eyebrow.
“Goku’s your son right?” The announcer asked.
“What!? No that's weird,” Kronos said taking a step back.
“It would be weird if he wasn’t ,I mean you are carrying him like he’s you kid,” The announcer said raising an eyebrow.
“Im his sister,” Kronos said clarified.
“Oh okay,” The announcer said nodding in understanding and handing her the check for the prize money..
“Anyways I'm leaving, bye,” Kronos said flying off with Goku, and heading to where the group was waiting.
“Kronos over here!” Krillin said waving her down.
Kronos touched down and said holding up the check, “Let’s go get some dinner, my treat,”
Goku suddenly woke up excitedly and grabbed onto Kronos saying, “I'm so hungry, lets go now!”
Everyone laughed, Roshi having left to change not knowing that everyone knows who he really was.
They waited for Roshi to come back. And as the old man walked up to them Kronos walked up to him with a smirk.
“Sorry about stealing the win from you Jackie Chun, oh Im sorry ,Roshi,” Kronos said with a big grin.
Roshi laughed and said, “I suppose it wasn’t that good of a disguise, anyways I did what I planned to,”
“To test Goku and Krillin,” Kronos said with a smirk.
“Not even close,” Roshi said shaking his head.
“WHAT!?” Everyone asked in shock.
“I had no doubt in my students ability to win the tournament, in fact that’s what I was afraid off, I did this to teach them that there is alway a bigger fish, and you must always train to prepare for a the eventually fight with a stronger opponent,” Roshi said.
Kronos thought about what he said for a second before nodding and saying, “Funny I thought with the power I've gotten, I would be able to take it easy on my training,but you made a good point, thanks Roshi,”
“Your very welcome,” Roshi said with a nod and a smile.
“Oh and I almost forgot,” Kronos said suddenly with a sweet smile, handing Goku a spare Gi she had packed for him and giving Bulma that check she had one. She suddenly turned to Roshi with a glare.
“Give me back my panites you pervert!” Kronos yelled chasing after Roshi who had saw this coming and had booked it.
“Run Master Roshi, big sis is gonna kill you!” Goku said watching as Kronos chased after the old man, Roshi laughing his head off as they ran.
There was once a kingdom inhabited largely by unicorns with wings,which were commonly known as alicorns. These alicorn's society was built around the belief that one’s ability with magic and the how much power you have with int it, shows one’s place in the world. It was for this reason that the lower class alicorn's, whose magic ability is on par with their unicorn cousins at best, were forced to serve the high class ,and the high class the royals. The royals were the caretakers of the celestial bodies,and the two leaders of the royals (and the entire Alicorn race by extent) were trusted with the task of raising the sun and moon. This power was also passed on from generation to generation ,to the eldest born of the lunar and solaris lines, and so it came that the these lines crossed by the marriage of the two leaders of the time.And the birth of two fillies ,that would one day become the leaders of all of pony kind, but this is not their story. No this story starts on a small farm on the edge of the Alicorn Kingdom.
This farm was run by a male alicorn by the name of Green Apple, with lime green fur,a messy blonde mane,and sparkling emerald eyes.He tended to his farm largely by himself.While his wife, a beautiful alicorn mare,who was known as Violet Comet, with dazzling sapphire eyes,a sleek lavender coat,and a violet mane that came down to her neck in curls, took care of their foals.
The eldest was a 10 year old filly,who was named Crescendo, with sparkling royal blue eyes that sparkled with life,her mane was dark purple and was often in a ponytail,her coat was a light purple and her she was also the only one of her siblings with a cutie mark(a mark that symbolized ones special talent) ,which was a flute with a musical note in the background. Her siblings were 4 year old fraternal twins,her sister,Stardust Shine was practically the same has her elder sister except she had purple eyes and a magenta stripe in her hair.While her brother,named Cosmic Storm,was exactly like his dad other than his storm grey hair and purple eyes.
Currently the family was sitting down for dinner. Violet walked to the table the family was sitting and levitating several platters of vegetables,fruits,and pie onto the table.
“PIE!” Crescendo said making a grab for the pie with her magic ,only for her father to give her horn a gentle slap with his hoof.
“Real food first,pie later,” He scolded.
“Yes papa….” Cressedo pouted.
“Alright I'll get the foals their food,” Green said grabbing one of platters and a couple of plates in his magic as he put suitable portions for the little one onto said plates. He then to turned to the foals who were giggling at each other,as they used their magic ,to barely levitate a ball between each other.
“Momma why is magic different colors?” Stardust asked suddenly,turning to her mother expectantly.
Violet signed patiently and said, “Because dear, everypony’s magic unique from one another that's why one ponies magic look different from another ponies, now eat your lettuce,”
“No! I don’t like lettuce it's icky!” Stardust said pushing her plate away from here.
“If you don’t eat your lettuce I'm going to have to give Crescendo your part of the pie,” Violet said with a knowing smirk.
Stardust eyes became as small as pinpricks as she looked to Crescendo who was devouring the good on her plate in hope of getting a piece of pie.
“No mama!I'll eat it, don't give it to sissy!” Stardust said panicking and shoveling her food into her mouth,while her brother laughed at her.
“Hey, stop laughing and eat,” Green Apple scolded Cosmic.
“Yes papa,” Cosmic said as he started eating.
“Is something wrong honey? you seem on edge,” Violet asked worriedly.
“The elites just passed another tax on the lower classes,” Green sighed.
“Again!? What is it this time?” Violet asked in frustration.
“Their taxing fruit sales now, so I’ve got to make double the produce this year so I can lower the price on my produce,or I won't make enough money to may for our ‘protection’ money,” Green sighed.
“Protection from what papa?” Cosmic asked.
“You'll understand when your older Cosmic,” Green sighed.
“But-” Cosmic began before being cut off.
“When your older Cosmic!” Green shouted.
The room went silent,and no one said a word for a few minutes,while Cosmic whimpered as he ate his food. The silence was broken by a loud knock on the door.
“Crap,” Green sighed, “Just keep eating Ill deal with it,”
Green went open the door and said to whoever was outside,”I'll be right there,”
Green opened and a door and said, “ Look I already paid for our protection last we-”
He was then suddenly decapitated before falling to the floor his blood pooling onto the floor.
“GREEN!” VIolet said running to her husband's corpse sobbing,as a cloaked bipedal figure stepped into the room and grabbed her by the throat.
“W-Why?” She choked.
“My master requires fresh meat,” the man said his face still obscured by the cloak,suddenly he stabbed his blade though her stomach area, before tossing her onto the floor.
“M-mamma?” Crescendo whispered in shock before running to her mother's side,while her siblings were frozen in fear their eyes on locked on the intruder.
“Crescendo r-run h-hurry take you siblings and run!” Violet said coughing up blood as her bled out on the floor.
“Fool it's too late for that,” The man said as he took cloth ,walked past the fear stricken Crescendo ,and pressed the cloth against the squirming face of Stardust knocking her conscience before turning to do the same ot Cosmic who tried to fly away only to be snatched mid flight.
“S-stop,” Crescendo shivering in fear said grabbing a fork off the table with her magic and pointing at the man.
The man turned and laughed at her.
“What are you going to do with that?” He said knocking Cosmic and dropping the foal, “You know you could probably make it out the door and fly away,of course then you’d be abandoning your little siblings to save your own skin,”
Crescendo looked at the open door and for a second thought about running away, and saving her own life, she had relatives not too far from here that would take her in. She could leave and continue to live her life ,maybe she could become a famous musician like she’s alway dreamed ,with hundreds of adoring fans. She could buy a big house and live the rest of her life playing the music she loved so much,but she knew she’d couldn’t abandon her family ,she knew she couldn’t leave them alone to whatever fate this man had in mind.
She gritted her teeth and screamed charging the man,to his utter shock,and jamming the fork into his leg. Unfortunately the man had some kind of energy shield around his armour,that stopped the fork before it was even a inch away from the armour plating beneath.
The man howled in laughter, “You have spirit! I would have killed you if you had tried to run ,my master has no need for cowards,”
He then grabbed her by her throat and hoisted her up,as he pulled back the hood of his cloak. Revealing some kind of monster with mandible and dragon-like head.
Cressedo couldn't even scream as the monster choked her out.
After a unknown amount of time in a unknown location
Crescendo woke up slowly, she now found herself in a large dark room, she couldn’t see a thing,but she could feel cold metal under hooves,she could smell several other foals including her siblings, and she heard the sobbing of other foals. Suddenly she felt two small fluffy things huddle up close to her.
“Cwsenso? I’m scared! Cwsenso!” she heard her sister say as the little filly huddled even closer.
“Hey um it’ll be ok if they wanted to hurt us they would have already, right?” Crescendo said thinking quickly hoping to calm her sister.
Crescendo couldn't see her sister's face but she seemed to relax a bit more and Cosmic’s whimpering seemed to lessen.For the next several minutes the only sound that could be heard was the foals crying and calling for their parents,but soon everything went silent when the room was flooded with light,temporarily blinding all the foals. Soon Cressedo’s eyes regained focus and she what she saw shocked her.
All around her were dozens of foals her age or youngers, some could barely walk straight due to being too young,and others were dirty and malnourished most likely due to living off the streets,but that's not what shocked her, no what shocked her was the beings standing above them on a elevated platform. Standing on these platforms were ten monsters ,like the one that had kidnapped her and killed her parents, wearing jet black armour and a strange emblem on their shoulder guards, in front of them were four beings wearing black cloaks and whose details Crescendo couldn’t make out, but the one in front of all of them, the one who Cressedo assumed was in charge of all of this was….. A elderly man in a lab coat.
“Greetings and salutations, I am Doctor Ivan Seingburg,” The elderly man said smiling ,his eyes hiding behind his black tinted glasses, “And you are my new test subjects!”
“Test subject!” Crescendo thought in horror,as her siblings cowered behind her.
“Screw you old man I'm not going to be your lab rat!” a colt shouted stepping out of the crowd.
“Oh? That's too bad….kill him,” The Dr.Ivan said indifferently.
One of the monsters smirked taking pointing the long device he was holding and pointing it at the colt before a beam of light hit the colt in the head,blasting a smoldering hole through his skull.
The some of the young foal began crying and a few even started running around hoping against hope that there was a way out.
“Now then, Does anyone else have any objections?” The doctor asked looking around the room, “No? Well then we can move on now, just do as your told from here on out and you’ll won’t end up like our brash friend here,” he said before pressing a button on his watch.
Suddenly a wall opened up,and several of the foal ran through though it.
“Oh eagar I see!” The doctor laughed before saying, “Good! Now Vadum could you feed that corpse to the hounds, it’s annoying me,”
“At once my lord,” the one of the monsters said jumping down causing the rest of the foals,including Crescendo who grabbed her siblings onto her back, ran out of the room.
The doctor snorted, “Predictable,” before walking through the door behind him the four cloaked figures following him.
The next room was actually connected to several hallways with signs on each one. One lead to a cafeteria,another the bunks,and one even lead to a bathhouse.
“Big sissy what are we gonna do?” Cosmic asked as Crescendo took him off her back with her magic.
“I don’t know,” Crescendo said still shaking from all that had happen.
“We’re gonna get out of here!” a filly said confidently.
“Did you see what happened to that colt? If we try to escape they'll kill us!” Another filly said. The two then got into a heated argument.
“Come on let's go explore,it'll take our mind of-of,” Crescendo said tears in her eyes trying not to cry.
Unfortunately her siblings weren’t as strong willed as her, and immediately broke down crying.
“Hey Hey, it's gonna alright don't cry,” Crescendo said pulling them into a hug as tears flew down her cheeks, her siblings turned and bawled into her fur,and after a few minutes they cried themselves to sleep,and Crescendo up curled up around them falling asleep sobbing.
Meanwhile the Doctor was having a meeting with his main supplier,as far money went, none other than the king of the alicorns King Cosmos! He had a flame colored mane that flowed in a invisible wind ,as well as having a milk white coat and a violet eyes,he wore a purple fur cape and dazzling gold crown with emeralds surrounding a giant ruby.
“Ah your majesty,it's good to see you again!” The doctor said with a smile as he sat down across from the alicorn stallion at a large table.
“Yes indeed,I trust you were successful and collecting those low class foals, I’m sure killing the parents was easy feat,as well as picking up the street urchins,” The King asked.
“Yes, and don't you worry I have a good feeling about this batch!” The doctor said grinning.
“Indeed soon equestria will have warriors strong enough to stop the coming clamity, now if you excuse me, I promised my wife Id spend time with her and our daughter,” The king said getting up.
“Oh yes! did you finally think of a name for the infant?” The doctor said faking interest.
“Yes we’re thinking ,Celestia,” The king said before teleporting away for with a smile.
The doctor looked at the spot the king had vanished form and started laughing.
“Ponies! They are honestly much to easy to manipulate! Soon my latest project will be complete and I can turn this whole planet nay! The whole universe into my test site!” He cackled madly.

The Multiverse awaits my freinds
Kronos had found himself walking up to a small hut not too far along the outskirts of the dazzling city of Canterlot. Taking a look inside the hutt, he laid eyes upon an old zebra. She wore several gold bands on her neck and was garbed in a white robe.
“Enter, Crescendo...” The zebra said sagely.
Kronos did as he was told, rather put off by this old mare’s insight. “So old mare, what do you want with me?”
“You are not finished in this world… not yet. There is a man, an ancient warrior fallen from grace... You will find him in the wastelands. He shall teach you that which will be imperative to you're survival,” The zebra said, solid eyes of the purest white seemingly staring into his soul.
“Fine, but I do have a question for you,” Kronos said looking at her with a blank stare.
“Speak my child,” The zebra replied, already knowing of his question.
-The Wasteland-
Kronos walked the desert in silence, the answer to his question circulating in his head the same way the harsh winds spun and danced around him.
“Honestly what was I expecting,” He cursed under his breath, pulling his cloak higher so as to shield his face from a rather vicious oncoming sandstorm.
He trudged onward as the torrential sands whirled around him. Senses dulled and flayed, he perservered and kept his path. He knew full well that he couldn’t sense his targets ki seeing as he had already tried, so his only choice was to look for him the old fashion way.
For hours he traced the wastes, the sandstorm already having past. It was then he saw a the blurred visage of a man leaning on a walking stick, covered in a tattered cloak that hid only the bare minimum of his features. Though, truth be told, he wasn’t quite sure it was a ‘he’.
“Crescendo, or do you prefer Kronos?” The man mocked, “I have kept watch for hours as you have struggled to find me. For what purpose do you seek me? Do you actually think you can endure my training?”
“I’ve endured more than any simple training,” Kronos replied confidently.
“We shall see, that pesky dragon Xisis has already asked me to train you, but know that if you fall behind, the deal is off. I have no time to waste with talentless weaklings, now come!” Upon the man’s proclamation, a set of ornate double doors appeared behind him, the duo entering as they opened.
Once inside, Kronos found himself within what seemed to be an aged temple.
“What is this place?” Kronos asked taking it all in.
“This is my home, my “hammerspace” if you will,” The man replied, removing his tattered cloak revealing that he was an anthro turtle.
“I see, so what do you have in mind for my training?” Kronos asked.
“I suppose we should start with strengthening that pudgy meat bag you call a body,” The old man replied as he hobbled forward, leaning heavily onto his walking stick as he made his way forward.
They walked into a small, cave like, room with the barest of light filtering from above and a pillar of stone rising from the room’s centerfold.
“Stand on the pilliar,” The turtle instructed.
Kronos compiled and suddenly was forced to catch a huge block of metal.
“How...is this...so…heavy?” Kronos huffed.
“The metal is enchanted to double its weight every thirty seconds, it starts with the weight of four hundred tons,”
Stroking his chin, the turtle snapped his fingers. “Let us see… ah I'll let you sit there for two minutes,” The turtle said before sitting down and watching Kronos, a wide smirk forming on his face.
Once his two minutes were over, Kronos was very close to being crushed under the weight of the metal square, gasping for air as it suddenly disappeared.
“Come, let us go to the meditation room,” The turtle said.
Over the next few years, Kronos’ power and skill was built up until the turtle, who Kronos now knew as Tekea, deemed it satisfactory.
“I see that now it is time for the next step of your your training,” The turtle said as he locked eyes with Kronos. “You must learn the art of the destroyer.” Eyes cold and emotionless, Tekea’s stoic gaze was almost unnerving.
“The what?” Kronos asked in confusion.
“The art of a God of Destruction, or at least as much as Im allowed to teach you... that, being giving you god ki and the basic hakai,” Tekea said with a sigh, “I used to hold this power long ago, but I was defeated by a younger warrior and stripped of my title, I am not allowed to teach you the full range of a destroyer’s abilities, but a simple hakai should be fine.”
He slammed the bottom of his cane upon the floor. “Make no mistake, this will be the hardest technique you will ever learn,in fact it will be impossible without first gaining god ki. Should you fail, you will never be strong enough to survive the opponents that you have yet to face...”
And so, for the next several years, Kronos was pushed to his limits. Desperately trying to gain and grasp the knowledge of this power. It was a painful process, his master had to slowly insert god ki into Kronos’s body bit by bit, and each instance he did so, Kronos was rendered paralyzed for a full day by the intense pain of the overwhelming power from being added to his own.
Through this cycle, he eventually gained a form he named Saiyan God, a form that gave him red hair and a flaming orange aura. With this form now unlocked, he was finally able to learn the hakai technique, albeit with the offset of massive energy consumption.
“You have a long way to go if you wish to become a God of destruction, as you are now, even the weakest of my former peers would crush you in an instant, but you are finally ready for the next step of your journey, I am forbidden from teaching you any further as only an Angel can do so,” Tekea said sadly,
“I will miss you my student…” Tekea looked away, a forlorn gaze upon his face. “It was nice to finally have some company,perhaps you could stay, if only for one more year so I may teach you to create your own hammerspace, of course you will have to build it yourself. I will only teach you to make the dimension itself,”
“Sure it’d be nice to have a place like this,” Kronos said with a smile.
A year later in the wastelands
Kronos walked out of the hammerspace and flew off to a bar he used to frequent before his training journey, he then got flat out drunk, as was customary. What Kronos barely noticed in his intoxicated state however, was that a familiar face had come into the pub looking for him.
“Pup, I am so saddened, Why do you make such a fool of yourself.” The voice said with a sigh.
“Mama? Why... You are your here!?” He asked in inebriated surprise. “Ah, It don’t matter... come have drinks with me! This stuff is great!” Kronos said giggling drunkenly.
“My pup, you need to stop this.” Eris picks up Kronos and takes him home with her. “Drinking is bad for you.”
“Says you,” Kronos said flaying one of his arms.
With a silver glow on his eyes, Eris shows kronos the results of his drinking on his body. “Your hurting yourself by drinking so much,”
“Hmph,” Kronos grunted, his hair glowing red for a second before healing completely from the effect of the drink.
“Just because you can heal, doesn’t make it ok.” Eris frowned.
“Helps drown the memories so it's ok in my book,” Kronos replied with a shrug.
“Please pup, let momma help you.” Eris begged.
“Look mom, I’m a grown woman and or man... I can handle myself! Besides, if what that orcales says is true, looks like I'm going to get the ending all saiyans wish for,” Kronos said with a sigh.
“Death in battle? I'm sorry I was hardly there for you.” Eris started to cry.
“What are you talking about? if it wasn’t for you I’d be some sex slave, I’m grateful, but I need to forge my own path now,” Kronos said looking bit disheartened.
“Alright pup, just make sure you remember I’m here for you if you need me.” Eris left with a heavy heart.
“Thanks mom… for everything,” Kronos said as he was enveloped in a portal of blue light.
In a forest in another universe.
Kronos suddenly appeared… in the air above a lake, before plunging into the lake.
“AGH!” He screamed flying out of the water in a panic.
“Whoa! You can fly, that’s cool mister!” a young cheerful voice said from behind him.
Kronos turned to see a young boy with spiky black hair and wearing a blueish purple gi, a red pole in a holster on his back. The boy was leaning forward, looking at him with wonder.
“Um, yeah I guess it is,so what’s your name little guy?” Kronos said flying down to the boy and giving him a smile.
“My name’s Goku! What’s your name mister?” Goku asked excitedly.
“Kronos, now what’s a little guy like you doing out here by yourself?” Kronos asked looking around for the kids parents.
“My Grandpa was killed by a monster so I'm all by myself,” Goku said.
“Oh… Man Im sorry kid…” Kronos said his smile falling of his face.
“It's fine, It happened a long time ago,” Goku said not skipping a beat.
“Sheesh, your pretty upbeat aintcha?” Kronos said a bit taken back by his optimism.
“Yea I don’t let stuff like that get me down, I've gotta focus on getting strong,” Goku said suddenly getting excited, “Hey mister you look super strong wanna fight?”
Kronos laughed, “Ah no thanks kid, I’m not about to pick on a five year old,”
“I’m not five, I'm twelve!” Goku said puffing up his cheeks as he pouted.
“Oh, my bad... sorry,” Kronos said scratching the back of his head.
“Whoa you do that too?” Goku asked in amazement.
“Oh yea, sometimes,” Kronos shrugged.
“You have a tail too!” Goku said pointing at his tail.
“Um yeah I do, wait that means you might be…. No that’s crazy, those guys are much too cruel for you to be a part of them.” Kronos said thinking for a bit.
“Are you my big brother?” Goku asked.
“What? No,” Kronos said in shock.
“Oh ok… It’s just I always wanted a big brother,” Goku said with getting those sad puppy dog eyes.
“Damn it, so cute !” Kronos thought, taken aback by this. “Hey if you want to pretend I’m your big bro, I won’t mind. Come on, let’s go get something to eat?”
Goku jumped up in excitement, “Food? Yay! Lets go!”
Kronos laughed, “Alright let's go see what… hey were you expecting company?”
“No why?” Goku asked.
“Hmm, come here I'll pick you up so we can go check it out,” Kronos said before Goku raised his arms up preparing to be picked up.
Kronos cradled Goku as he flew off to their visitor. What they found was a blue haired girl who was walking out of a Chinese style house with a giddy smile.
“Hehe, I got the four star ball, I wasn’t expecting it to be so easy!” The blue haired girl said, smirking as she brought up an orange sphere with four red stars on it.
“GRANDPA!!!” Goku said jumping out of Kronos’s grasp and charging the young girl.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up little buddy.” Krono said grabbing Goku by the neck of his gi before he punched the girl.
The blue girl screamed and took out an assault rifle and unloaded a entire clip onto Kronos, not doing a scratch of damage.
“Put the gun down,we’re not gonna hurt you,” Kronos said.
“Speak for yourself,” Goku growled.
“Ok, I won’t hurt you, now please just calm down and tell us why you want his… your grandpa is a crystal ball?” Kronos said looking at Goku in confusion.
“No that’s my grandpa’s most treasured possession,” Goku said, “I use it to talk to Grandpa, he doesn’t talk back but I know he hears me!”
“Oh I didn’t know it was so important to you, sorry… but I need it so I have all seven. Its so I can wish for the perfect boyfriend! Or a lifetime supply of strawberries,I haven’t decided yet...” The blue haired girl said.
“Why not wish for more wishes?” Kronos asked.
“Are you kidding? I'm not going to risk angering a wish granting dragon!” The girl said, giving Kronos a sharp look.
“Eh, good point I guess,better safe than sorry,” Kronos shrugged.
“Yep, exactly! Anyway if you don’t mind I'll be on my way,” the girl said.
“Wait! Take me with you! I wanna meet the dragon!” Goku said squirming out of Kronos’ grasp.
“Um, sure... why not I guess, I mean this is your dragon ball. By the way, I'm Bulma what’s your name?” Bulma asked.
“Im Goku and this is my big bro, Krenas!” Goku said happily.
“Kronos,” Kronos corrected.
“Oh right, sorry,” Goku laughed,
“Well It would be nice to have someone to protect me while I'm looking for the dragon balls,” Bulma said thinking quickly.
“Alright!” Goku said happily.
“Well I gotta go do my own thing, here tap this part of your arm if you need me to help you fight something, or something like that” Kronos said touching Goku’s arm causing a japanese character to flash on it for a second before disappearing.
“Oh, do you really have to go?” Goku asked sadly.
“Yea sorry little guy, I got a lot stuff to do, and there aren't any evil guys out there stronger than you, so you should be fine as long as you keep training,” Kronos said before walking into a newly created portal,” Later Goku, I'll come check up on you sometime ok?”
“Okay! Bye Kronos!” Goku said waving.
“Have a safe trip, when you get back you've gotta tell me how you made an interdimensional portal!” Bulma said waving.
“Bye,” He said walking through the portal as it disappeared.
A few minutes on a rather green planet near a small military camp.
Kronos stepped out of the portal only to be surrounded by six people in power armour and a bunch of marines in standard military equipment. All of them were aiming their rifles at Kronos,one of them had a mini gun.
“Hold it! You are currently on the grounds of an UNSC encampment, vacate the premises immediately or you will leave us no choice but to use lethal force,” The one in dark blue armor commanded.
Kronos laughed, “Yeah no, thanks this place is interesting, I'm gonna take look around,”
“Open fire!” The man said as he and his allies fired their weapons. The bullets bounced off him harmlessly.
“W-what are you?” The blue armoured man said, shaken but holding his ground. His comrades doing the same.
“Hmm that’s… complicated I suppose a Saiyan should do,” Kronos said looking around the camp curiously.
“Sir, what are we going to do, our weapons didn’t do anything to this man,” Another in light blue armour said keeping her cool.
“He doesn’t seem to be with the covenant, he’s just curious I guess, for now we keep an eye on him, and hope he doesn’t decided to turn on us,” The dark blue armoured soldier said grimly.
“You guys gotta lotta intristen’ stuff,” Kronos said messing with one of the main computers in the main tent.
“Hey! Don’t mess with that!” The man said angrily.
Kronos rolled his eyes,” Fine sheesh, someone’s up tight ,eh soldier boy?”
“We don’t have time for this, Noble Team we’re moving out,” The man said going up to a pair of green helicopter like flying vehicles as the rest of his team split up. Half the team going to one, and the other half to the other.
“Six, I read your report, Impressive but we’re a team, that lone wolf stuff? You leave that behind,” The man said.
“Yes sir,” Six ,a purple armoured soldier with red accents, nodded.
“Hey wait for me!” Kronos said as they took off.
“We’ll deal with you later, right now we have a mission!” The commanding officer said as they took of into sky.
“Oh hell no, I gotta see this!” Kronos grinned flying into the air.
The soldiers were shocked.
“He can fly too? I really hope that guy doesn't decide to turn on us,” One of the power armour clad warriors with a skull on his orange visor said.
“He seems harmless, well as far as he hasn’t tried anything yet, he’s just curious, Emile,” A large yellow and black armoured soldier said.
“Yeah, guess your right Jorge, but Im still gonna keep an eye on him. It might be a trick, he did try and mess with our computers after all,” Emile said.
“What do you think Kat?” Jorge asked the armour clad woman.
“He seems harmless enough, but I think Emile has the right idea, we don’t know anything about him other than he has superhuman abilities and therefore he is threat, we should try and keep him friendly as there is no knowing what he could do if we tick him off,” Kat replied calmly.
“Makes sense to me,” A man in green power armour nodded.
“Alright Noble, we’re looking at a downed relay outpost fifty klicks from Visegrad. We’re going to introduce ourselves to whoever took it out, and then Kat is gonna get it back online,” the man in dark blue armour said.
“Sir, why would rebel’s want to cut off communications with the rest of the colonies?” Jorge asked.
“You get a chance, maybe you can ask them, Jorge” the commander replied.
“Commander, we just lost communications with HQ,” Kat said over the comms.
“Back up channels?” Caratar asked.
“Checking… Nada. Can’t say what’s jamming us,” Kat said.
“You heard her, Dead zone confirmed, command will not be keeping us company this trip,”
“Im lonely already,” Emile quipped.
A few minutes later they were hovering above a their target area.
“Shootdown attempts likely, so keep your distance,” Carter said referring to the pilot.
“Yes sir,” The pilot responded.
“Let’s stay focused, watch you sectors!” Carter commanded as a large compound came into sight.
“There’s the communications outpost,” Jorge said looking the compound up and down.
“Reading a distress beacon,” Kat said over the comms.
“Could be missing troopers, put us down on the bluff,” Carter said, “Jun, I want your eyes in the sky,”
“Sir,” A green armoured man nodded,
“Let’s go six,” Carter said as they prepared to jump off the flying vehicle.
“Alright Noble team, spread out,watch the approach… That goes for you too newbie,” Carter said pointing at Kronos.
As most of the team and Kronos ran down the hill, Emile climbed a rock and checked a nearby structure.
“Structure point Three-four looks clear from this angle,” Emile said though his comm before jumping down, his energy shield flickering for a second before re-energizing and becoming invisible once again.
“Distress beacon is coming from just south of here, we’re close,” Kat said as they moved down the path.
“Roger that, eyes peeled,” Carter said.
“Wow just look at this mess,” Kronos said when they found the end of the path where a still burning truck was flipped on its top.
“You got that right,” Six said looking around.
Emile flipped the truck over to get to a small device that was hidden below it.
“I found the beacon,” Emile said giving the device to Kat who looked it over,while SIx and Kronos looked around the area.
“Any ID?” Carter asked.
“Negative, but it’s military,” Kat replied before dropping the device on the ground.
“So where are the troopers?” Jorge asked over the comms.
“And why are we not seeing explosive residue?” Kat asked.
“Noble Three, can you confirm any EX residue in the area?” Carter asked.
“Hmm… negative, sir,” Jun replied over the comms.
“Plasma maybe?” Emile asked.
“Can’t be, not on Reach,” Jorge said in disbelief.
“There’s a lot of blood on the ground,” Emile noted.
“Which would point against it being Plasma, as it burns instead of causing you to bleed,” Kronos said.
“Alright, Noble, and whoever you are, looks like there’s nothing here,let’s move on,”
“Smoke in the next structure, boss,” Jun said over the coms.
“Alright, let's move out,” Carter said as they jogged over to said structures.
“Six, move into the house right behind you,” Six nodded and walked inside giving Carter the chance to turn to Kronos.
“Okay, I want to make this one hundred percent clear, If you want to run with us, you follow my orders, we’re a team, and this is MY team, and I'm not gonna let you get them killed by doing something stupid, from now on your code name is Noble Seven, er what’s your name again?” Carter said.
“Kronos,” The warrior replied.
“Alright, Kronos do we understand ourselves?” Carter said getting up in Kronos face.
“Yes, sir,” Kronos said with a nod.
“Good, alright let's move out,” Carter said as they walked after Six.
“Noble leader, heat-sigs in the structure ahead!” Jun said over the comms.
The team runs through the building towards the next structure as the flying vehicle flew down long enough to drop off Jorge.
“En nem csinaltam semmit!” a man said coming out of the house, his friends behind him still in the house.
“On your knees, now!” Emile shouted, aiming his rifle at the man.
“No lojon! Ne lojon!” The man said panicking.
“Their not rebels, look at them their farmers,” Jorge said calming his friend.
“Ask them what their doing here,” Carter said.
“Mit keresteck itt,” The man said cowering and rambling on in his language.
“Nos, akkor talan fegyveres katonan valo kazvetlan futas nem a legjobb olet,” Kronos snorted.
“Shut up Seven, Hiding sir,Neighbors were attacked last night, He heard gunfire… screams, it stopped around sunrise,” Jorge said glaring at Kronos for a second.
The man then said, “Rendban,igaza volt, hoggy meggondoltan volt tolem,” The man said giving a nod to Kronos, before saying, “Valami megolte a fiamat,” pointing at the feilds sadly.
“Something in the fields, killed his son,” Jorge said.
“Something ?” Carter asked now on guard.
“Commander, be advised I'm reading heat-sigs in the structure directly east of your position,over,” Jun said over the comms.
“Copy that,get them back inside,” Carter said to Jorge.
Jorge compiled and the rest of the team made their way to the structure.
They opened the door to find bodies of several civilians piled on the left side of the room.
“Looks like we found where those troopers went,” Kronos said grimacing when he saw them hanging by meat hooks on the north wall.
“Damn,” Carter said shaking his head.
“Fill me in commander, what do you see, Over” Jun asked over the comms.
“We’ve got military casualties, looks like they were interrogated… it’s messy,” Carter said.
“Let's go, we’ll send a clean team to deal with this once the long range coms are back up,” Kronos said.
“He’s right, let’s go and watch your movement trackers” Carter said as they ran out of the room and up a flight of stairs that lead to a platform that had a open window on the left and a door on the right. The ceiling shook under the weight something as it ran across the roof.
“What the hell was that?” Emile asked.
“Jun, you see anything?” Carter asked.
“Negative, thermals clean,” Jun replied.
“Some kind of lizard thing, judging by its ki signature,” Kronos said as they ran to the next building, and as they ran by one of the open windows, a bipedal lizard bird thing spotted and started squawking as it raised the alarm.
“Looks like our new friend was spot on eh?” Jorge said as most of them ran out side. Kronos staying behind to blow a hole in the lizard’s head before jumping out of the window and activating his sharingan, creating a large legless samurai esc giant made of black energy. The Giant stood firm blocking all of the oncoming waves of short dwarves with weird packs and lizardmen firing their weapons.
“What the hell...” Jorge said in bewilderment.
“Go ahead ‘n shoot, this big boi can take a shit ton of damage,” Kronos said, smirking at the enemies before the giant formed it’s scythe and cut through the aliens with ease.
“Shit, Well I guess that kinda solidifies him being on our side,” Emile said.
“Alright Six, Jorge, the new guy, and I, will take care of the contacts in this valley and recover the marines, Emile, Kat regroup with Jun and continue onto the objective,” Carter ordered.
“Yes sir,” Kat said as she and Emile ran back to the building to wait for Jun and the pelican.
“Noble! Banshees and dropships inbound, Falcon moving to assist,” Jun said over the comms. As the falcon took out flying vehicles dubbed as ‘banshees’, one of the mentioned dropships tried to fly away, only for Kronos to blast it apart with a ki blast.
“Stand down, Noble, stand down... contacts neutralized,” Carter said.
“Contacts? It's the damn covenant,” Jorge growled.
“Cheer up big man, this whole valley just became a free fire zone,” Emile said walking up obviously happy with the turn of events.
“Alright then, welcome to the team, um what’s your name again?” Jorge said walking up to Kronos.
“Kronos,” The warrior said with a smile.
“Well then Kronos, I look forward to fighting beside you,” Jorge said giving Kronos a pat on the back making him stagger forward a bit.
“Alright, enough chit chat, let’s move out, Kronos you’re with Jorge, Six and me,” Carter said sternly.
“Yes sir,” Kronos said with a nod.
“Excellent, Kat we need to warn Holland, I need you at that outpost now!” Carter said turning to Kat.
“Boss, I’m showing more activity to the east!” Jun said over the comms.
“Copy that, six you’ve go point,” Carter said as they ran up the hill.
Three large lizardmen in white armour charged them with a bunch of short guys in armour. Only for Kronos to blast them all into oblivion.
“Hey newbie, save some for me!” Emile said slapping Kronos upside his head.
“Ow! Sheesh, try and help someone out,” Kronos said glaring at Emile.
“Commander, I’m seeing more hostile activity to the northeast,” Jun said over the coms.
“Emile, Seven, you’re with Kat. Six, Jorge and I will run interference on the ground, we’ll meet you at the outpost,”
“Noble three, requesting air-lift, Over,” Kat said.
One of the flying vehicles landed and Kat and co. jumped on board. Later Noble regrouped in the air and touched down at the outpost, they were greeted by a large group of covenant warriors.
“Put us down pilot,” Carter said.
“The LZ’s still hot sir!” the pilot protested.
“Not for much longer, Seven clear them out,” Carter ordered
“With pleasure!” Kronos said with a grin, unsheathing his blade and disappeared for a split second before the covenant troop all hit the ground, blood gushing from wounds that appeared out of nowhere, and Kronos re-appearing at the entrance of the compound.
“I'm starting to like having him around,” Jorge chuckled.
“Naw he’s stealing all the good kills,” Emile laughed, jumping down from the vehicle and heading over to Kronos.
“Alright Kat, break though that-” Carter began before Kronos blew the blast door to smithereens.
“God dammit, Kronos I needed that!” Carter yelled.
“But I thought you wanted-” Kronos began.
“Yea I also wanted to close it so the enemy can’t chase us inside!” Carter scolded.
“Oh yea… that makes much more sense,” Kronos said with a blush.
“Whatever, lets just get inside,” Carter said in annoyance.
Once inside, they went through another heavy door locking it behind them.
“We need to find the control room. From there, Kat can get the relay back online. Emile, post up here, if we flush any hostiles, they’re yours,” Carter ordered as they headed into a dark room.
“Don’t worry seven, I'll save some for you, just like you did for me buddy,” Emile said grinning under his helmet at Kronos.
“Fuck you too ,Emile,” Kronos laughed as he followed the rest of the team inside.
“Can’t see anything, turn on you night vision,” Carter ordered.
“Oh man I’m regretting not packing my nightvison eyeballs now,” Kronos said sarcastically.
“Quit whining, I’ll get the lights on quickly,” Kat said walking up to a control panel in the control room and flicking the lights on. Now revealing several corpses around the ground.
“Six search that body for ID,” Kat said as she searched one of the dead scientist.
It was then Carter found an injured trooper, “Where’s the rest of your unit,” He asked.
“We got split up, I don't think they...it sounded bad on the comms,” the trooper coughed.
“Alright, Corporel, stay put, we’ll get you a combat surgeon,” Carter said as Kat continued to look the controls over as Six grabbed something off one of the scientists.
“Damn, plasma damage,” Kat said in annoyance.
“Found something,” Six said raising it up.
“I'll take that, not your domain ,Six,” Kat said.
“Hey we’ve got a live one,” Kronos said coming to a view pulling a young teenage girl with him, who was cursing him in her language and hitting him repeatedly.
“Hey lemme deal with this,” Jorge said dropping his weapon and grabbing her hand, “We’re not going to hurt you,”
“Jorge…” Carter said getting up.
“I’ve got her,” Jorge said waving his hand, “I'll release you,”
“Meg… Itt vaanak,” She whimpered.
“Who’s still here?” Kronos asked before three large covent warriors in maroon armour charged through one of them, taking Six to the ground, prompting Kronos to vaporize him with a ki blast.
“What’s your status, Over?” Emile asked over the comms.
“We’ve been engaged!” Carter replied as one of the aliens grabbed the injured trooper and pressed a dagger to his neck as he backed towards the exit of the room.
Kronos suddenly disappeared again and the two aliens dropped dead, their blood spewing on the ground as Kronos repressed sitting down and cleaning his sword.
“Nicely done, Seven,” Carter said.
“I try,” Kronos said with a smile.
Jorge gave Kronos a nod of respect before kneeling down to the girl as Emile clambered in and saw the mess before looking at Kronos.
“Really dude? You couldn’t even leave one?” Emile asked with a scoff.
“Nope,” Kronos grinned evilly.
“Okay I see how it is, well just you wait, when this is all over I'll have more kills then you!” Emile said.
“Loser buy the winner a drink,” Kronos said with a smirk.
“Deal,” Emile laughed.
The girl had her back turned to Jorge, who then gently tapped her shoulder only for his hand to be swatted away, causing Emile to chuckle a bit.
“What’s your name, do you live around here?” Jorge asked.
The girl said nothing. So Jorge took of his helmet, and said “A Nevem Jorge,”
The girl turned to him and reluctantly said, “Sara,”
“Sara… szep hatarozott nev, Your accent sounds familiar, sopron?” He asked.
“Tengari,” She replied looking at one of the corpse of the scientist solemnly.
“Friend of yours?” Jorge asked.
“Father,” She said tearing up a bit.
“Sajnalom, Im sorry,” Jorge said shaking his head.
“Why would you be?” She asked bitterly.
“Big man forgets what he is sometimes,” Emile chuckled.
“She just lost her father,” Jorge said glaring at Emile, before turning to Carter, “She is going to need a full psychiatric workup,”
“She’s not the only one,” Emile snarked causing Jorge to jump in anger and Kronos to grab Emile by the neck in rage.
“Lock it down all of you!” Carter pulling Kronos of Emile.
“You better watch your mouth ,Emile,” Kronos said menacingly.
“Sheesh what I do to piss you off?” Emile asked backing off a bit.
“Oh I don't know, maybe it was when you made light of a young girl losing her father, glad to see some of us have hearts,” Jorge said, giving Kronos a grateful pat on his back, before shooting a glare at Emile and helping Sara up.
“Commander, the signal’s up, its patchy but it'll work,” Kat said.
“I'll take it,” Carter said walking up to the panel.
“...I’m barely getting you what’s your situation?” the man on the other end asked.
“Colonel? This is Noble One, There are no rebels, the Covenant are on Reach, acknowledge?”
“Come again Noble One? Did you say Covenant,” the colonel asked in shock.
“Arrimative, its the winter contingency,” Carter said.
“May God help us all…” the colonel said.
Carter turned to Kronos who was talking with Jorge and said, “I think he sent us some back up sir,”
“Explain Spartan,” The colonel demanded. It was then Carter knew it was gonna be a long work week.
