-Summer Rose's POV-

As Souma introduce himself I take a good look at him...he's currently and I believe he's only wearing a brown tattered cloak. His hair is long and disheveled, he looks no older than 4 or 5...one striking feature are most definitely his eyes.

I see a beautiful pair of crimson eyes with 3 strange dots in both of his irises...something tell me his eyes might be his Semblance...but I feel like its more than that. Ah well either way we have better things to do...like getting out.

I hand him a bag of cookies, his pupils starts to resemble that of Ruby as his eyes sparkle when he sees the cookies.

Souma: "Thank you!"

-Chibi Mode-

He took a cookie from the bag and start munching away like a squirrel as his cheeks are puffy and the crumbs scatter around his mouth..seeing this I could hold myself and hug him tightly on how cute he it.

Summer: "CUUUUTTEEE!"

Souma: "Ma'am...I'm trying to eat."

Oz and Qrow chuckle and smile wryly at the sight.

-Normal Mode-

After we took a short break we begin to search for an exit. We left the hall, when Souma points us towards a closer exit.

Throughout the time...Oz remind silence as we walk.

I can see Qrow talking to Souma asking him questions but Souma simply eats his cookies quietly ignoring whatever Qrow is asking causing him to sigh.

Maybe I should help.

Summer: "Hey Souma...I have a few question if you don't mind me asking?"

He stop to look at me and nods

Summer: "What do you remember?..before we came here."

Souma looks towards the ground with a sad expression.

Souma: "When I woke up I was in a chamber alone...that's when my "friend" showed up..."It" kept me company..."It" thought me how to fight and read also gave me food."

Summer: "I see."

The three of us stood there in silence...my hearts starts to break for him since I realized he's been in here alone without any human contact for what I assume...awhile.

Ozpin: "Well anyways young Souma, do you know what those shadow creatures we encountered before we enter the hall?"

Souma looks at Oz looking confused.

Souma: "What creatures?...I've been inside the hall, my bedroom, training room and the library. "It" forbids me to leave those areas...I never seen any shadow creatures."

Summer/Qrow/Ozpin: "Eh!?"

All three of us were surprise by his answer.

Qrow: "Wait kid...you didn't encounter them, how long have you been here?"

As soon as Qrow had said that, Souma looks slightly perturb. He cover his right eye with his hand.

Souma: "Argh..."

Souma starts groaning as if he's in pain.

Summer: "Souma?"

Souma: "I'm fine...just a headache...I don't remember how long I've been here."

Qrow: "Does "It" have a name?"

Souma then shook his head.

Souma"No...I don't know "Its" name..."It" told me that he hates having a name because only humans would name things."

I walk up to him and gently rub his head.

Summer: "Well either way you're not alone now. We're here to bring you out."

Souma eye's starts to sparkle.

Souma: "OUT! I'M GOING TO SEE THE OUTSIDE WORLD!"

Souma starts jumping up and down like a child and smile brightly as he couldn't contain his excitement.

I gently rub his head and smile and he grab my hand and urging us to speed us up because he couldn't wait.

We smile and chuckle lightly and carry on...eventually we reached the exit and let Souma be the first to open the door...at first he was hesitant but after I lightly pat his back and gently push him forward I encourage him.

Summer: "The outside world is a treasure trove waiting to be open. So go forth and see it's beauty."

Souma nods and smile at my words..he slowly take a step forward and pushes the door forward. He felt the gentle brew blowing his hair and hear the sounds of crickets singing. He slowly open his eyes and for the very first time...he must have felt the world was frozen in time.

The dots in Souma's eyes starts to spin and shine brightly into the night, he's capturing the beauty with his eyes for the very first time. He open his mouth and smile towards me.

Souma: "It's beautiful."

I look at him and thought for a moment...his parents are gone...that means he's all alone. I bite my lip feeling restless.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. Qrow is holding it and looks at me with a serious expression.

Qrow: "Can we talk?"

I nod at his request. Oz seeing this act as if he knew what Qrow will be asking...he decided to keep Souma company.

We walked someplace quiet to have our talk.

Summer: "So what is it?"

I ask with a slight tinged of annoyance whatever he's asking I'm sure I'll be annoyed. He looks to see if Souma can hear us. He looks at me and ask.

Qrow: "I known you for long time Summer, I know the look on your face. You plan on adopting the kid aren't you?"

I look down and nod.

Summer: "He's all alone...I mean look at him, he's been alone for awhile now and he's probably never seen another person when he woke up before we met him."

Qrow shook his head.

Qrow: "He's dangerous Summer, I know you feel like you must save everyone but remember you do not owe him anything...and his eyes, it creeps me out. That time in the hall, when he was looking at us. It was as if he was watching our very soul. That ain't no child Summer."

I was surprise by his words and got slightly mad at him

Summer: "He's a child."

Qrow "And a child that possesses strange eyes we know nothing about and a dangerous monster that claims to look after him...I mean as of now that monster could be watching us as we speak. *Sigh* Look, while you were feeding the boy Oz told me something interesting."

My eyes widen by his word.

Summer: "What is it?"

Qrow looks back at Souma talking to Oz as he's asking what animal is that.

Qrow: "Oz told me the boy is the source of burst of Aura...Summer, he's who we're looking for. Oz could see his Aura manifest...it covered the entire hall..but the way he saying it suggest it bigger than that...it appear he lacks control."

I walk pass him and turn my head to face him.

Summer:"Who cares if he has a monstrous Aura all I see is a child in need."

Qrow: "You're blinded by his appearance he could be lying Summer, he's not your child. I thought you of all people would at the very least doubt him."

I look away and continue walking.

Summer: "I believe him."

Qrow sigh and walk alongside her.

Qrow: "If he does anything...I won't hesitate."

Souma: "What are these ?"

Souma crouch down alongside Oz as he's looking at a cricket with stars in his eyes.

Ozpin: "These are crickets ...they're insect that produce sound."

Souma: "WOOOOOW HOW DO THEY DO IT?"

Souma grab Oz shoulder while jumping up and down.

Ozpin: "Ahahaha you'll know it eventually but come now it's best that we leave, the night can be dangerous if don't find shelter."

Souma: "Okay ."

Oz then chuckle lightly and rubs his head.

Ozpin: "It's okay ...you can drop the formality and call me Ozpin or Uncle Oz. We're friends now."

Souma: "OOOOOOO WE'RE FRIENDS!"

Souma start smiling and jumping up and down. He then see Qrow and I walk towards him, he quickly ran to my side smiling.

Souma: "Friend, I've made a new friend."

I rubs his head and smile.

Summer: "Souma...Oz's a headmaster for an academy where he teaches student to be Huntsmen and Huntresses."

Souma looks at me looking confuse as he tilt his head slightly

Souma: "What are those?"

Qrow then walks forward and grin

Qrow: "We're heroes kid, we save the day...everyday from threats that prove dangerous to mankind."

Souma: "OOOOOO THAT'S SO COOL!"

Souma's eyes sparkle yet again at Qrow's words.

Souma: "Can I be a Huntsman!?"

I walk up to him and gently rub his head.

Summer: "Yes, if your heart is in the right place. You could be the strongest Huntsman out there."

Souma: "Yosh! I've decided when I grow up I'll be a Huntsman."

Souma place his hand on his hip then point towards the moon...then he grew silent as he see the shattered moon.

Summer: "Souma...what's wrong."

Souma: "Nothing seeing the moon made me sad for some reason."

I place my hand on his shoulder.

Summer: "Come now...let's move and find shelter. A friend of ours should be here soon and we can go home."

Souma looks at me looking confused.

Souma: "Home?"

Summer: "Yea, home. You'll be staying with me."

Souma: "With you...does that mean that..."

He looks down looking sad.

Souma: "You'll be my mother."

Seeing him with tears slowly appearing at the corner of his eyes..I immediately drop to my knees and hug him.

Summer: "Yes Souma...if you want I can be your mother and we'll be a family."

Souma: "Family..."

Souma hugs me tightly and starts to cry loudly into the night...this poor child I've noticed something during my time with him...despite him looking positive, I've noticed something in his eyes...loneliness.

Qrow look at him feeling lost while Oz simply smile at this development.

-Meanwhile Inside the Bullhead-

-James Ironwood's POV-

Pilot: "General Ironwood we're an hour away from our destination."

While I was checking my scroll for an update of this sudden Aura burst, the pilot inform me of our progress. I nod and continue reading the data that was given to me...honestly the data I'm reading is frankly disturbing...Oum knows what's in store for us if we can't contain it.

*Scroll ringing*

James: 'What's this?'

I smile when I saw the name of the caller's ID.

James: "Ozpin."

-Summer Rose's POV-

I'm currently carrying Souma who's sleeping on my back...I'm guessing all the excitement has finally tucker him out.

Ozpin: "I've contacted James...he has our location and will be here in an hour, so in the meantime let's set up camp."

Oz told us and honestly I'm glad to hear it, I miss my family back at the Patch. Qrow immediately transform himself to that of a crow and flew to find shelter.

Summer: "Alright for now we'll keep walking."

Suddenly I felt Souma holding me tightly.I turn to see Souma's strange eyes staring at me...it looks as if he's staring into my soul. He then jump from my back and look around intensely with his cold eyes.

Summer: "S-Souma..what's wrong?"

I've never seen him looking like this...

Souma: "Something...something is coming at us...I can see them..."

Ozpin: "Grimm."

Oz quickly realized what he's referring to. Hearing the word Grimm I quickly unsheathed my scythe and prepare for combat..why now?..why when Qrow's not around. I can handle a large number of them but...with Souma by my side it could prove hard.

Ozpin: "Doesn't matter...I'll keep him safe."

(Carpenter Brut - Hang'em All)

Souma: "I can hear lots of footsteps coming at us..there's so many of them."

We soon hear the roars of multiple Beowolves heading our way...I recognized that a few of those roars are Alphas.

Ozpin: "Well that looks interesting."

Oz raise his cane and point upward..

I turn to see two giant Nevermores hovering above us.

Summer: "Shit."

I twirl my scythe preparing myself. We soon see the Beowolves emerge from the dark woods, they growl and howl at us. It spotted us and let out a large roar...soon a pack of them are running straight for us.

Ozpin:"Summer I got Souma cover, you do what you must."

Oz quickly took a battle stance and I nod, I quickly turn to face them as my silver eyes glows under the pale moonlight.

Summer: "Alrig-"

As soon as I was about to leave I see Souma running straight for them.

Summer: "WAIT SOUMA!"

My eyes glow bright out of fear for his safety. I quickly ran after him but soon both Oz and I saw something beyond our comprehension.

Souma leaps mid air and preform some sort of hand seals

Souma: "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique)

A large fireball shoot out from his fireball flew towards the pack of Beowolves blowing them away. Oz and I felt the heat from here, we saw the pack blown to smithereens as parts were scatter all over the place...some of the tree were caught on fire...how...this child preform such destruction at a young age?

Ozpin: "Amazing."

Oz was astounded for what he had saw and frankly so was I...how in the world did he did that without the need of Dust?...

Souma: "Mother! Look I killed them! hahahaha! I'm a Huntsman now aren't I!"

I bit my lip and walk towards him...he looks at me with a smile on his face...I immediately raise my hand and

*SLAP*

Slap him.

Souma was surprise by this...he turns to see me.

-Souma Uchiha's POV-

I felt a sharp pain on my cheek...this pain...I'm unfamiliar with this pain. I turn to see who I thought would be my mother...was she..was she upset? Didn't I beat them? They were the enemy were they not?

I turn and my pupil shrunk as I see the look on her face...she's...she's crying.

Souma: "Mother...why are you crying?"

She immediate drop and hug me.

Summer: "You naughty child...how could you be so reckless you could have gotten hurt."

She hugs me tightly...I can feel her warmth.

Souma: "I'm...I'm sorry...I wanted to show you that I can fight."

She then place her forehead onto mine.

Summer: "I know that you're strong...but remember Souma...you're no longer alone. You have us with you, never go into combat alone you hear me...promise me."

Souma: "I-I...I promise."

She then smile with her eyes close and gently rub my cheek.

Summer: "Sorry that I slap you...You nearly gave me a heart attack when you ran straight for them."

Souma: "It's okay...you're worried for me...I never felt that before."

She was caught off guard by my word...we soon hear a loud screech above us.

Ozpin: "While I'm glad that the two of you have grown closer...it seems that we have company heading our way."

Uncle Oz smiles at us but uses his cane and point upward. I look up to see two large creatures coming down on us.

Souma: "Mother...let's fight it together."

Summer: "That's my boy."

We took our stance and leap into combat.

Mother's silver eyes glows brightly

While my Sharingan spin brightly as well.

I won't let them take my mother away...I've finally found someone to love.

Souma: "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Shadow Clone Technique)

*POOF*
