Oscar screwed up. What was meant to be a quick shopping trip to find something to eat turned into him accidentally stepping on some bandits boots, and then getting his arm almost cleaved off. Oscar had just gotten off the train that took him to Mistral, and he had been looking for this man named Qrow, but he got a bit sidetracked when he spotted a potato stand that also happened to be selling some grapefruits that he didn't need.
"I got two big grapefruit trees that grow more than I know what to do with, so I sell them alongside my potatoes," said the old man as he asked how much one grapefruit, "that'll be 5 lien."
Oscar began to search through his pockets for what little lien he had left, when he felt someone poking into his back pocket. "Huh?" Oscar turned around to see a man that sorta looked like a pirate. And he was trying to pickpocket him.
Oscar immediately slapped his hand out of his pocket.
"Hey!" the pirate bandit exclaimed, "Watch where yer slapping lass. Ye need to be taught a lesson!" The pirate then brandished a hook that replaced his left hand. Suddenly three more people walked up.
"What's going on here?"asked a light-skinned man with a scar on his cheek.
"This little rat here is a-blaming me for a crime I didn't commit, now do you think I would pickpocket this lass here, Bob?" The pirate asked the bandit who was named Bob, while smirking.
Bob took on a scary looking-smile, and replied with a cold voice, "Really? Tattle Telling now, are we little boy? The man then pulled out a sword from his belt, "maybe we should cut him up like a butcher would a cow."
"Aye," agreed the pirate.
As they kept conversing about what they were going to do to him, two more bandits had come as well, having heard the entire conversation.
"Butcher him up? Bah! I skin him and hang him on a flagpole!" said a man with a eyepatch
"No, we should do better than that!" said another, smaller man
"Um, excuse me, but if you would please take this nasty business of yours somewhere else, I have a-," the seller started before the pirate bandit punched him hard in the jaw and sent the seller sprawling.
"Shut your gob old man!" shouted the bandit
"Now looks like a time when I would be of good assistance, it seems," said a voice in Oscar's head that was named Professor Ozpin.
"Yeah, no kidding," Oscar replied.
"Huh? What was that lassie?" questioned the pirate bandit
Oscar suddenly felt his body move on his own, and he stomped on the pirates foot, and did an uppercut to his chin, knocking him off balance, then did a forward kick to his stomach and knocked him flat on his bottom.
"Oomph!" he grunted as he fell down, but he quickly got up, albeit pissed off.
"Ye made a mistake dirtying me new boots, mate," The pirate bandit said as he charged at Oscar
Oscar chuckled a bit as he simply sidestepped the charge, stuck his foot out, and tripped the pirate, and sent him into the ground eating dirt.
Oscar was about to finish him when someone bashed his head from the side, however thanks to his Aura, he didn't feel any pain, but just the force of the punch sent him flying a few feet, and he hit the ground and rolled a few centimeters before the smaller man grabbed him by his neck and held him up high enough to where his feet didn't touch the ground.
The smaller man pulled out a dagger and shouted, "I'm gonna kill you, you brat!" Oscar then kicked out at his stomach until the man let go, and then he followed up with a jab at the man's nose.
Suddenly, something cracked against Oscar's head, and Oscar was sent onto his knees. He looked behind him to see Bob, holding a wooden club, which cracked in half. Bob dropped the club, pulled out a knife, and said, "You're a tough kid, but you messed with the wrong people."
Oscar then turned to see the rest of the bandits brandish their weapons.
"Well, if you had my cane, they would have certainly been no problem, but right now, it seems as if where're in a tight spot,"said Ozpin
"Uh, I hope you got some magic that I could use," Oscar said
"I do, get ready," Ozpin said
Oscar got up and was about to charge again when he felt a chill go down his spine. He felt as if some kind of darkness, some kind of monster that he couldn't see had come to grab him, drag him down to some black void, and eternally torment him. It felt almost as if death himself had come.
The bandits turned around to see a man in a black hooded cloak,but his face was obscured by the hood. However, they could see his eyes crystal clear. Those red, glowing eyes. The dark feeling Oscar felt was coming from this man, and it felt as if this man was a manifestation of darkness itself.
"Well, this is rather interesting," said Ozpin
"What do you mean? Is he another one of your enemies or something?" asked Oscar
"No, I think not, I have never even seen or felt something like this. The only explanation that could be that he is working with my enemy. But this could be his semblance, albeit it could attract plenty of grimm," Ozpin observed.
Oscar watched as the man easily beat the four bandits with ease, and watched as he easily killed one of the bandits ruthlessly.
"Well, whoever this man is, it seems as if he is very much experienced in combat," Ozpin had observed
"Wow, wouldn't want to be on this guy's bad side," Oscar said to himself
"Are you alright?" said the man as he took his hood off to reveal a very handsome face, and his black haired was styled like a raven, although his eyes weren't glowing red anymore, but instead were an obsidian black color.
"Yeah, nothing but a couple of scratches, nothing to worry about, but thanks for the help," Oscar replied, "But I could've handled that, but still, thanks for the help."
"Ok, disregard my observation earlier about that negative emotion being his semblance, but I'm starting to think that those glowing eyes of his make the cut," Ozpin said, "But whether we want this man to be friend or foe, well I would rather prefer friend. We need to stay on his good side until we find out more about him."
"So, what are you saying we do?" Oscar asked
"I am saying that we should get to know this man a little more before we label him as an enemy. For all we know, he could just be a huntsman," Ozpin said.
Oscar looked at the man before him
Did he really want to get to know this guy more? A normal person would have probably run from this guy screaming once they felt that dark aura radiating from him. But then again, Oscar was no longer a normal person. Why, he literally had the soul of the headmaster of Beacon inside him!
Oscar held out his hand, and said, "And by the way, names Oscar."
Sasuke hesitated for a moment before he shook Oscar's hand
"Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha," the stranger said
Meanwhile, at Haven Academy `
"Damn it!" Qrow shouted as they left Lionheart's office
"What are we gonna go now?" Jaune asked as they left
"You kids go home, I'm gonna got get a drink," Qrow said as they exited Haven Academy
Ruby was not in a good mood. What was Lionheart so hesitant about! They didn't have to face the tribe head on! All they simply had to do was sneak in, bop Raven silly, get the Spring maiden, and -poof- get outta there!
As they got home, Jaune asked, "Did any of you notice something a bit odd? I mean, Lionheart may not be a fighter, but I know we would have still gotten the Spring Maiden out of there, and he was letting everything keep us from getting the Spring Maiden."
"I know, but Qrow said that we are to go home, and that is what we will do," Ren said, "If we are to try to get the Spring maiden without Qrow, our chances of succeeding are even slimmer."
Ruby turned towards Jaune, and said, "Jaune, I know how you feel, but right now, there's nothing we can do until Qrow comes up with something."
"I know, but still, it feels…wrong, like, we're just standing here when we could do something," Jaune replied
Ruby sighed, "I know Jaune, I know,"
"Well, while we're waiting, you guys wanna watch something?" Nora said as she pulled out her scroll, as they walked inside, and she sat on the couch, and Ren alongside her
"Naw, I'm just gonna go read some comics," Ruby said
Somewhere in Mistral
"So this man you're looking for, his name is Qrow?" Sasuke asked Oscar
"Yeah, he's got red eyes, black hair, and carries liquor around with him," Oscar replied, "He's most likely in a bar somewhere right now."
Sasuke had noticed many things during his short time here. One, no one had chakra. Two, this world, or Remnant, had so much more Nature Chakra than the Five Elemental Shinobi Nations. Three, (he noticed this during his fight against the bandits) these people's cores were separated. The Yin half of their soul was separated from their Yang half, with the Yin part being their aura, and their Yang part being their semblance.
Sasuke wondered what would happen if he merged the cor- no, there was probably a reason why the brother gods left it like that. And even if he did, they would die in a short amount of time because they don't have the eight inner gates. Sasuke immediately banished the thought from his mind
As Sasuke and Oscar neared a saloon, Sasuke asked, "Why do you want to meet this man again?"
Sasuke followed Oscar mainly because Sasuke had used the Sharingan to analyze Oscar, and found something interesting. There was another soul inside Oscar, and the soul's aura was synchronized with Oscar's, kind of like how Naruto's chakra had been when the Nine tails finally cooperated with him
If Oscar was like a Jinchuuriki, then Sasuke imagined how powerful he could be in the future, but right now, he isn't much. So Sasuke decided to keep an eye on this boy. Who knows, maybe he will become even more powerful than Sasuke in the future.
Maybe
Hmm. Funny how Sasuke just thought of Oscar becoming more powerful than him, Sasuke was leagues above this stranger.
"He may become more powerful than my current level, but once I have my Rinnegon, he will never even stand a chance," Sasuke thought
"I think that's him," Oscar said as they looked inside the saloon
There stood a man with what looked like a red cape, black, unruly hair, and a rather large sword on his waist. It was quite obvious that he was starting to get drunk. Sasuke and Oscar looked at each other as they both walked in, but Sasuke stayed back and took a seat.

Oscar, on the other hand, walked right up to him.
Qrow sensed someone was behind him, and looked to see Oscar.
"Hey pipsqueak, I don't think they allow kids in here," Qrow told the kid.
"Tell him that I would like my cane back," Ozpin told Oscar
"Ok, I'm doing it, just hold on," Oscar said
Qrow raised an eyebrow at him
Oscar looked up at the man and said, "um, I'm supposed to tell you….may I have my cane back?"
Qrow gave a look as if surprised, but then nodded and got off the seat he was sitting on, then pulled out what looked like a small piece of metal, sorta like a handle.
He then hands it to Oscar and says, "It's good to see ya again Ozpin."
Oscar took the handle, and it almost felt familiar in his hand, as if it was glad to be held by him. As if he already knew, he pressed a small button, and immediately a a small metal pole slid out of one end, making it look much more like a cane.
It felt balanced in his hand, as if it were made for him.
Later that day
Jaune heard a knock on the door, and he looked at his friends, Nora and Ren. They both had expressionless faces, and Ren nodded at him
Jaune made sure that his sword was strapped onto his waist, and grabbed the handle and slowly opened the door.
He saw a dark-skinned boy with freckles, a white shirt, orange gloves, and brown overalls. He seemed, nervous
"Uh, can I help you?" Jaune asked
"Uhh, is there a Ruby Rose here?" the boy asked
"Why do you want to know?" Jaune asked in a slightly more strict tone
Suddenly, Qrow same stumbling from out of nowhere, and wrapped his arm around the boy and patted his head
"Ha! I found him!" Qrow shouted
He kept saying the same thing as he stumbled in and collapsed on the couch
"I did it! I found him!" Qrow shouted
Suddenly Ruby came storming in from her room
"Ugh, come on, can't a girl read her comics in PEACE?!" Ruby asked before noticing the boy and Qrow, who was on the couch
Suddenly, another person, a man, who looked quite handsome, and his black hair was styled in a way to where it looked like a raven, and was dressed in a black cloak
The raven-haired man looked at Qrow and said in a bored tone, "Drunkard, did you have to order that last bottle?"
Ruby suddenly noticed that other boy, a dark-skinned kid with brown hair and freckles, was looking rather quizzically at her.
"You have silver eyes," the boy observed
"Uh, okay," Ruby replied
Qrow piped up from the couch, "now just wait for it… aaaaaand,"
The boy started to say something. "My name is Oscar Pine, but you may know me as…Professor Ozpin?"
Everyone gasped
Qrow laughed, "see, I told ya I found him!" and then he fell off the couch and his face went splat into the hardwood floor.
The raven-haired boy sighed and said, "That dobe."
