Kronos the Revenant

I have a great grandfather who was actually President of the Philippines for a few years. My mom said that since she immigrated to America first, her sisters got to go with him in his motorcades to and from school. That and she also said that there were people that attempted to assassinate him in broad daylight. Apparently, some delinquent ran up to him and shot him once in the chest and once in the face and ran off. He didnt get far when locals heard the shots and tackled him. Even more miraculous, my great grandfather SURVIVED A POINT BLANK SHOT TO THE FACE. And that incident only strengthened his political campaign. He proceeded to serve only one term, however, as his son-in-law ran against him next election and won.

”Well, from what I remember,” Kronos explained as Trilby and Tempest looked towards him, “I believe Samurai was supposed to be this town’s champion, however, over the past few days, ever since the aftermath of the kart race, Samurai has been all riled up and worried about some strange creature known as the Origami Shinobi. Something i remember that paper creature mention is something about a war with no survivors. I still kind of remember my rambling murmurs of the future incident and Samurai said he planned on taking care of it. I didnt want to assume the worst, however, it took quite the effort of just me and Samurai to take out one of them. Initially, i didnt plan on staying for long, but after seeing this town and its culture for what it is, I’ve grown quite attached to this place and im thinking of settling in here. Perhaps to continue my diplomatic mission for my kingdom, i could mould avatars to perform diplomatic missions from here while i remain a fellow guard of the town.”

Just now, Toshigami Equine said:

Yep. Check the RP. Tempest was talking to you and Trilby. 

Just saw it and just responded. 

@Toshigami Equine

Kronos was a little befuddled as the broken-horned unicorn came up behind him and Trilby. When she mentioned “Mr. Handsome”, he at first assumed she meant Trilby, until Trilby responded to her calling him an idiot. To Kronos, this was a rather confusing scenario. You see, Kronos doesnt see himself as particularly attractive by any means and he’s actually rather socially inept and usually depends on his personalities to come up with solutions to his social awkwardness. 
 

Handsome? Me? Kronos asked himself. 
 

Maybe you should humor this fine mare, a voice suggested, She does find you handsome, after all. 
 

He turned towards Tempest and humored her request, “Well, unfortunately, my business with Mayor Black is strictly confidential. But, i may or may not have been responsible for a few...chaotic events as of recently, and said incidents may or may not have been sanctioned by certain someponies around these parts. But, hey, you didnt hear it from me, sweet cheeks.” He gave Tempest a wink followed by a low chuckle as he looked around for anything else to do besides helping out his friends. 

@Toshigami Equine

You did?

Simple. Call of Duty Mobile. Run around with a SMRS rocket launcher and shoot at my feet around a bunch of enemies, blow everyone up. Repeat until end of game. Repeat for every game. 

Anything that gets my adrenaline pumping. Roller coasters, sky diving, jumping off high places and landing safely on my feet where no one expects me to be coming from. Im a junkie, and adrenaline junkie. 

Just found what i think is probably the most epic and fitting theme for Kronos considering his allegiance

And if you’re wondering, the kanji on Daimyo Vader’s plate says “war devil”. It apparently reads “sensou akuma”

@Samurai Equine

As far as I know, Im done task wise for the day and im just assisting in Mayor White’s medical care. I could have some internal dialogue, if anyone wants. 

Fallout 4?

”If you dare say ‘that’s gotta hurt’, I’ll kill you.”

@Samurai Equine

Despite being given orders from his employer, he couldnt help but hesitate slightly as he is ordered to extract his client away from his ill brother. Kronos himself has a sibling he disagrees with to the point of hatred as well, but even he would do anything to help her out. Hell, he even retrofitted her with her own custom prosthetics in her time of desperate need.
 

Shaking his head to rid himself of his self loathing, he reads the new coordinates and proceeded to deploy smokescreen from vents in his samurai suit. The smoke deployed wasnt particularly fatal to respiratory systems, so it wouldnt cause or aggravate any health problems the denizens may have. 

Soon enough, Kronos manages to drop off his client at his destination. He gave a salute and a bow to Mayor Black and he proceeded to turn back to the town square. 
 

I know i work for him, Kronos thought to himself, But i cant help but feel very uneasy about Mayor Black after THAT display. I mean, that was his brother for crying out loud. I know i can be a ruthless bastard at times myself, but even i draw the line at cruelty towards family. Knowing what he’s currently capable of and only imagining what else he is capable of makes me reluctant to simply turn tail and leave him, but still, I cant just stand idly by while that poor old stallion suffers. 
 

Kronos proceeded to return to where he initially was at with Mayor White and the others. He went over and offered his assistance. 
 

“Do you guys need any help with him?” Kronos proceeded to ask Trilby and Shadow.

Major character plot point revealed!?!? Dun-dun-DUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!

@Samurai Equine

Kronos felt like he was about to fall as he staggered in his armor back into the real world. 
 

“Huh, that was...enlightening,” Kronos said to himself, “Right guys?”

Kaiser is missing, his voices tell him.

Wait, Kronos replied in a panic, You mean to tell me that Kaiser, the most dangerous and destructive warlord of Ragnarok that possessed me, is no longer with you guys!?

We dont know what happened, they reply, One minute he was here, next thing we know, when we come to in the real world, he’s not with us anymore. 
 

This cannot be good, Kronos replied, What are the chances that he can possess another body here?

As long as their heart thirsts for more power, they explain, Kaiser is able to tap into their desperation and use them as a vessel as we all did with you, granting them tremendous strength and willpower that can rival all of us. 
 

Wait, what!?

That’s right, you may be a near unstoppable killing machine with Krux, the Devourer, but Kaiser the Conqueror is what gave you your willpower to keep fighting against unstoppable odds. 
 

How did he escape!?

Your willful surrender to what he otherwise saw as inferior warriors. Because you surrendered, Kaiser saw you as worthy of being his vessel no longer. He will search for a new vessel, though considering the culture and the massive amounts of citizens, any one of them could become worthy vessels for Kaiser. We have to keep a lookout for his influence on any of these ponies. He could be possessing any of them. 
 

The only way to find that out is a trial by combat, Kronos reminded his spirits, But i cant just challenge random citizens to a fight to draw him out, we’ll lose our credibility as soldiers. 
 

If I recall correctly, one spirit chimed in, There is what appears to be an arena of sorts, and according to the towns festivities, a fighting tournament is planned for the future. We could draw out Kaiser there. In the meantime, we must remain vigilant. 

@Dynamo Pad

“Allow me, friend,” Kronos told Dynamo before turning towards the Dark King, aka, Mayor Black, “Hey, Dark King, this seems way too easy for it to be over. You’re withholding some information from us, aren’t you, Boss?”

Annihilation—A Perfect Circle

Just listen to the lyrics and you’ll hear why this is rather unnerving. 

As the group got into the Dark King’s throne room, he was raring for a fight; however, as soon as they enter the throne room, the Dark King just...surrenders?? 
 

That was easy, a voice in Kronos’ head says.

Too easy, Kronos replied to himself through suspicious squinted eyes. 
 

He turned towards Dynamo, who seemed worn out, but also aware of his same exact suspicion. 
 

He knelt towards Dynamo and whispered, “This seems way too easy for Mayor Black to simply surrender like this. Something’s up, i can feel it in my gut.”

@C. Thunder Dash @Samurai Equine

”You’d, spare me?” Kronos asked, “Thank you. My shackles have been released. I am in your debt.” Suddenly, Kronos starts snapping his head side to side, then a green aura in the shape of a huge suit of armor came out of Kronos’ body. 
 

“YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE LAST OF KAISER THE CONQUEROR!!!” The green spirit yelled before disappearing. 
 

“Well,” Kronos said, “Now that his influence is no longer dominant on me in this game, I’d be honored to assist you.” Kronos went up to his original giant mech suit and kicked the door down to the Dark King’s chambers. “KNOCK KNOCK, DARK KING!!!”

@Dynamo Pad @Pastel Heart @Samurai Equine @C. Thunder Dash @PawelS @Windy Breeze @ExplosionMare @GeneralDirection

Kronos gets absolutely floored by the onslaught the heroes suddenly charge at him with. His small mech gets tossed around like a ragdoll in the mass group attack. His mech suit is losing its durability, and the generator is breaking down. It can’t sustain this state any longer. The generator overloads. Suddenly, the heroes return to the main boss chamber, floor reassembled, and Kronos on his knees and palms gasping for air at their mercy. The deterrence field around the door behind him fizzles out and dissipates. 
 

“Alright,” Kronos said in defeat, “You...*gasp*...win. My Lord...*gasp*...I have...*gasp*...failed you. Spare me or strike me down...*gasp*...either way...*gasp*...I’m no longer a threat to you...*gasp*...Make your choice.”

SPARE

EXECUTE

RECRUIT

You guys have ultimately defeated Kronos in a hard-fought battle, but im waiting for all the heroes to have their input on the final heroic onslaught against him. My reply is ready, but im want to see every heroes action in this moment of triumph. 

@Samurai Equine

Oh yeah, i forgot. I got so into the subplot that i forgot this was about Dynamo. Okay, I’ll give this to him, but they still need to try to wreck the small stealth mech. 

@Dynamo Pad

Kronos turned around in shock as his maze was uprooted and his creatures revealed. 
 

“The hell!?” Kronos exclaimed “All that hard work for this, seriously??  This isn’t over!!!!”

He proceeded to fire his thermal lasers at the heroes. These weapons had considerable distance and accuracy, so the heroes had better be careful lest they want to get burned or disintegrated. 

@Dynamo Pad

Yeah, and i had a Dungeon Worm, Labyrinth Tank and Wall Shadow in the maze as well as Strength from House of the Dead 2 in the maze. And you just uprooted all of it. What the hell!? 😂😂😂

@Dynamo Pad

Kronos stared slack jawed and in awe as the unicorn somehow managed to pull off some sort of magic spell that redirected his missile flurry.
 

“NANI!? BAKANA!! I made sure you shouldn’t be able to do that!! What’s happening!?!?” Kronos yelled in bewilderment. All the missiles started to go towards him. In a panic, Kronos tried to put a shield around his mech; this, however, left the generator on his back vulnerable, and the missiles ultimately blew up the second generator. The deterrence field was closer to shorting out. Looks like the second phase came to a swift but chaotic and near-lethal end. 
 

“THAT’S IT!!!” Kronos growled, “LET’S DO THIS!!!” He lifted one of his mech’s legs like a sumo wrestler and slammed the ground with tremendous force, enough to break the ground beneath everyone. No one would take fall damage as this was a transitional cutscene, but the heroes would find themselves in a dimly-lit labyrinth. The stout mech digitally deconstructed itself and was replaced with a small but agile mech equipped with thermal particle beam cannons. He fired a line in front of the heroes with his thermal lasers to show off the power of his new weapons. He fled into the maze. It was mostly dark in there with only torches barely lighting up the way for them. As he went further into the maze, Kronos taunted the heroes “If you want to get to the Dark King, you’re gonna have to find me and deactivate this last generator to get to his chambers. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

The heroes would hear screeches and mechanical noises coming from the various creatures in the labyrinth. Perhaps a hero that had experience with said creatures could provide some insight on the creatures that inhabit the maze? And maybe a hero with ways to track things down could figure out ways to find Kronos and avoid the dangerous creatures?

@Dynamo Pad

It’s all good. We just started the second phase.
