Hello everyone, I hope you have already realized that this fanfic is not following what was presented in Volume 4 of RWBY. Here, Mistral is not very big as they claim to be. The time of events written here is not the same as in vol. 4 and other things are different, like the blade that Tyrian put on the tail.

I will not write here chapters based on vol. 5.

Again, sorry for the mistakes in English.

Warning: This chapter contains blood, violence, unimportant deaths.

A little earlier, Qrow was in a bar when a boy came looking for Ozpin's cane. Understanding the situation, the man handed it to the boy.

"Hey, can you tell me what's going on?" the boy asked. "This person is in my head... I don't understand! Why is this happening to me?"

"You'll have to ask him." Qrow said, taking a sip of his drink. "So, what's your name?"

"Oscar Pine," he said looking shy. "And... your name is Qrow, right?"

"Yes." The man said as he finished drinking his drink and, placing the empty glass on the bar counter, said "Well, I think we'd better talk somewhere else... Do you live around here?"

"No, I live in a house on the farm. I came on a train." Oscar said.

"I see... Come with me!" Qrow took Oscar to the inn where he and the RNJR team would be staying that night.

When they arrived at the inn Qrow called the group, but only Jaune and Ruby came. "Where are the other two?" He asked.

"Nora and Ren were walking around, but they must be coming back because the sky is getting dark." Ruby said. "But... Uncle Qrow, who is this?" She asked looking at the boy who was accompanying the man.

"His name is Oscar, but he's Ozpin too."

"Ozpin?!" Jaune and Ruby said in amazement.

"Yes it's Ozpin! I think only he can explain it better to you." Qrow said patting Oscar's back because the boy seemed to be shy and didn't move to enter the room. "Well, I'll go find the other two. And I don't want you leaving the inn until I come back!".

Jaune and Ruby started talking to Oscar while Qrow was leaving.

The man walked down several streets and couldn't find them. He began to worry, as the sky grew darker and darker, and people were almost all in their homes. Qrow knew that if he spent too much time searching and Ren and Nora didn't return to the inn, Ruby would end up walking in town to look for them and she would be attacked again.

Qrow walked for a while and reached a street near the end of town. There was no one walking there. He walked a little more, but Ren and Nora could not be around, all the shops and houses were closed. As soon as the man turned to return to the search, he heard a voice that was not unknown to him.

"I honestly admire how advanced the medicine of this region is to have healed you of my poison..." It was Tyrian, who spoke in a mocking manner as he walked slowly out of the darkness at the end of the street, but not approaching Qrow. "If I'm not mistaken, the kisses of true love or something stupid of that kind were not antidotes to my previous victims..." he said in a theatrical way.

"You..." Qrow said turning to the man. "I thought you had run off to your queen's feet."

"I failed to complete my queen's request that day, but I will not repeat the same mistake!" Tyrian said smiling in a macabre way, and at an incredible speed, he jumped in the direction of Qrow trying to hit him with his wrist blades. Qrow dodged the attack and took his sword to fight the faunus. He wasn't completely cured of the faunus scorpion venom, but he would fight anyway.

Tyrian was determined to kill the opponent, his attacks were much stronger and certain than in the fight in Oniyuri. He managed to make several cuts for Qrow's outfit, each cut larger than the previous one.

Qrow wouldn't let the scorpion take his niece. He was fighting as hard as he could at the moment. In one of the attacks, the two men moved away from each other. Qrow, who was on the side of the dark end of the street, thought for a moment and ran through the darkness, but stumbled upon something big on the floor. It was Ren's body.

Qrow shuddered. He was so focused on fighting Tyrian that he forgot the real reason he got there. Right in front of Ren's body was Nora's, the two were dead, covered in blood. A pool of blood had formed beneath Ren's body, and there was a huge cut in his neck.

"Oh, did you find something there?" Tyrian asked, smiling. "It was funny watching them get desperate like that, you know..." he said, watching Qrow carefully get up from the floor, his clothes stained with the dead boy's blood.

"They were just kids!" Qrow yelled angrily as he ran back toward the faunus. He turned the sword into a scythe and tried to hit Tyrian, but the scorpion man dodged. And he counterattacked with his tail, hurling Qrow at a shop window in one of the shops on the street.

The windowpane broke, and the noise was strong enough to attract two guards patrolling a nearby street. They both rushed over to see what was happening.

Qrow got up a little dizzy, he had fallen into the store and was without his scythe. His vision spun for a few seconds, maybe it was because he was not fully healed of the poison.

Tyrian jumped into the building through the hole in the destroyed window. He was trying to hit Qrow with his wrist blades again. They began to fight inside the store, destroying several shelves and goods. The scorpion faunus was attacking even stronger than before. The aura of Qrow was no longer able to heal him completely anymore, after the fight on Oniyuri his aura had become somewhat unstable for some reason and seemed to be getting even weaker in the current fight.

Qrow slammed his back on a shelf as he tried to dodge Tyrian's attacks. Several boxes fell off the shelf over the faunus.

Taking advantage of the misfortune of the scorpion, Qrow left the store and found his scythe in the sidewalk next to the glass shards. He could not continue that fight, his body could not take it anymore. Qrow was determined to flee from there, but the two guards, who had heard the crash of glass breaking, arrived at the scene and misinterpreted the situation. They pointed their guns at the man on the street. "Hands up!" They shouted as they came running to the damaged shop.

"No! You are in danger!" The man shouted, but there was no time to leave. Tyrian jumped out of the shop and with the blade of his tail he cut the body of the first guard he saw in two pieces and kicked the other guard in the direction of Qrow that fell to the ground with the man on top of him.

Tyrian smiled, watching a look of fear on Qrow's face that came out from under the young guard who had been kicked on top of him. The guard at once picked up his communicator and asked "Send reinforcements! I repeat, I need reinforcements! There is a dead guard, a murderer, a suspicious individual and a damaged shop!".

"Now the two guards are dead!" Tyrian said laughing through the communicator, thrusting the wrist blade into the guard's neck, killing him. Qrow tried to flee by becoming a crow, but as soon as he flapped his wings to fly, he was struck by an umbrella of a girl who jumped from a house and fell on him that fell to the ground.

Neo stepped on the crow, crushing it against the ground, then Qrow returned to his human form. The girl kicked the man and walked to Tyrian's side. "So you have friends..." the man said from the floor.

"We both have similar goals." The faunus smiled. Neo smiled too.

"I see..." Qrow said trying to get up off the floor, sighing. Two against one would be no big deal if he was well, which was not the case. He had only left the inn to drink and to look for Nora and Ren. He did not expect to have to fight Tyrian again and this time the faunus was not alone. The man had already fought with all the strength he could and his body was starting to fail, but he couldn't lose. Qrow hadn't traveled so far to protect Ruby and end up failing in the end. He needed to stand and defeat the two individuals.

"Okay, enough rest! Neo, go!" Tyrian said jumping up and the girl ran toward Qrow. When trying to defend himself from the girl, the man was caught off guard by the faunus, which hit him with a kick over his head and Neo kicked him in the leg, knocking down Qrow who rolled on the ground and stood up quickly. But he was again overthrown by the scorpion man and Neo pierced Qrow's hand with the umbrella blade, pinning him to the ground.

The man screamed in pain as Neo and Tyrian smiled satisfactorily. Tyrian took the hunter's scythe and cut off Qrow's hand that was caught by the umbrella's blade, making him scream even more. The scorpion faunus wanted to see the man suffer, after all, it was also his fault of what happened on Oniyuri. "If I cut off your entire arm, will you be able to fly with your crow shape?" the faunus laughed.

Qrow got up quickly holding his bloodied arm and tried to move away from the two opponents, but Tyrian kicked him in the belly and Neo hit him with the umbrella blade, cutting off his red cape and leaving a painful cut in the hunter's back.

Tyrian took him by the hair and dragged him to a corner of the street where he began to beat the man. Qrow could not move, his body was shaking, not of fear, but of weakness. He tried to resist as much as he could, but it was not enough. The pain in his body was strong, but knowing that those two guys could hurt his niece and her friends was worse. Just thinking about those who were dead made him feel guilty and the pain even more intense.

"I really do not have time..." the faunus said stepping on Qrow's head. "Tell me where the girl is and I'll give you a quick death!".

"I will not say! You can do what you want with me, but I will not tell you!" The man shouted as he could, his face crushed to the ground and blood flowed from his mouth.

"Don't play the hero right now!" Tyrian put the scythe over Qrow's head. "If you say it or not, we'll end up finding her anyway!" He chuckled.

"You two! Hands up!" A troop of guards came running down the street, firing with their guns at Tyrian and Neo. The girl used her umbrella as a shield against the shots.

"Oh, great ... More people for our party!" Tyrian said distractedly with the guards, then Qrow took one of the glass shards on the floor and stuck it in the Scorpion man's leg that screamed in pain and kicked the head of the man who fainted. "Grrr ... Crap!" Tyrian screamed, removing the piece of glass from his leg. And at that moment, a high-speed motorcycle came down the street without running over the guards and heading toward Neo and Tyrian.

Seeing the delay that the situation would cause to himself, Tyrian took Neo, the scythe and the severed hand of Qrow. Holding it all, he jumped to the roof of a house where they disappeared into the darkness.

The motorcycle stopped near the man who had passed out on the street corner. He was covered in cuts, bruises, and a lot of blood. "Uncle Qrow?!"
