Episode 5

(The episode opens after Sonic and the gang explains their situation to Team RWBY and Team JNPR)

SONIC: And that's our story. Any questions?

NORA: (Snores loudly)

REN: Nora! Wake up!

NORA: Nnnggh- wh- What? What happened? Where's the giant pancakes?

SONIC: Uhhhhh…what?

REN: Don't ask. Please continue.

(Everyone looks confused, but Yang keeps things moving)

YANG: Okay, let me get this straight… You guys came from some different world where you guys are animals, you were sent here thanks to that Chaos thing, and you fight that guy, Eggman, who has those robots and tries to take over the world?

SHADOW: Yes, that's basically what we just told you.

SONIC: (turns to the camera) Trust me, you heard all this stuff before.

SILVER: Sonic, who are you talking to?

SONIC: Uh…anyway, I think before we continue, we should probably get some introductions out of the way. Might make things easier if we were all on a first name basis.

WEISS: Fair enough. It gets tiring referring to you all as "those weird people."

ROUGE: Who're you calling weird, princess?

RUBY: Hey, be nice, you two. Clearly they don't hate us now, so let's avoid that, okay?

(The two step back, grumbling under their breaths)

BLAKE: Nice to see we're getting along well enough.

YANG: So anyway, who are you guys, anyway?

SONIC: I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Well, I mean, I was a hedgehog, but I'm sticking with that name.

SHADOW: I'm Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Life Form!

YANG: Some Ultimate Life Form if he still can't handle a shot to the groin.

SHADOW: Piss off!

SILVER: My name is Silver the Hedgehog. I came from the future to help protect the past!

PYHRRA: You were a hedgehog? I thought you were a mink or something…

SILVER: Believe me, you aren't the first to make that mistake…

ROUGE: My name is Rouge the Bat, but you can call me Rouge. I'm a government agent by trade, but my passion is jewels.

JAUNE: Wait, why would you tell us you're a secret agent? Don't they do things to people who give that away?

ROUGE: I'm not in my world anymore, sweetheart. Try to remember that.

JAUNE: Oh…

BLAZE: I am Blaze the Cat. I reign as the queen of the Sol Dimension, but the Chaos Emeralds called out to my own Emeralds for my help.

BLAKE: Wait, you're a cat?

BLAZE: Yes, I am. Why?

BLAKE: Nothing, I'll explain later.

AMY: I'm Amy Rose! I was also a hedgehog just like Sonic!

YANG: Is that it?

AMY: Well, I mean… I have a hammer? I honestly never get a chance to do anything…

SONIC: Because I don't need you tackling me and slowing me down…

AMY: Hey!

SHADOW: ANYWAY… What shall we call you?

RUBY: Oh, right. I'm Ruby. Ruby Rose. It's my dream to become a great huntress, and leading team RWBY is a great start.

AMY: Your last name is Rose, too? That's so cool! Maybe we're long lost sisters!

ROUGE: Amy, are you sure you didn't hit your head on anything? That sounded more ridiculous than mistaking Metal for Sonic for the twentieth time.

RUBY: Rouge, be nice. It was a sweet thing to think of anyway. Besides, I think we sound alike…

YANG: Well, I'm Yang Xiao Long. I'm Ruby's older half-sister, and apparently, I'm stronger than the Ultimate Life Form.

SHADOW: I told you to SHUT YOUR TRAP!

YANG: Chill out, I'm just playing around. Don't get your tail in a twist.

SHADOW: Tch… I'm starting to regret saving you earlier.

SONIC: Shadow, knock it off. Anyway, what else you guys got?

WEISS: My name is Weiss Schnee. My dad runs the biggest producer of Dust in all of Remnant.

SONIC: Uh, so the business is dead?

WEISS: Excuse me?

SONIC: You just said it collects dust, right?

SILVER: I think she said it makes dust.

WEISS: Right. It makes Dust for everyone to purchase and use.

SONIC: And you guys sell dust too? Sheesh, you guys are weird.

WEISS: No, not that kind of- forget it…

BLAKE: Well, uh, I'm Blake Belladonna. I'm a Faunus as well. A cat Faunus.

SONIC: There you go again with talking about Faucets.

SHADOW: Sonic, she said Faunus.

RUBY: Yeah, I told you about them before, remember?

SONIC: Oh, right. Yeah, that joke wasn't funny two episodes ago either. (They look at him with a strange look) What?

JAUNE: (clears throat to obtain attention) I-I'm Jaune. Jaune Arc. Simple, short, rolls off the tongue. Ladies love it.

SONIC: Really?

JAUNE: Well, I mean… not yet they don't… But hey I'll get there soon. After all I lead team JNPR, so that's gotta mean something, right?

SHADOW: Seriously? You're a leader? You look more like a towel boy to me.

JAUNE: Hey, I don't wanna hear it. I've been getting better with all the training I've been doing with Pyhrra.

SHADOW: Must really be helping…

PYHRRA: He really has improved. Oh, and, I'm Pyhrra Nikos.

BLAZE: You seem like the level headed one on the team. At least the level headed girl, anyway.

PYHRRA: Yeah, and once I noticed Jaune needed help with his combat and such, I took to being his mentor.

BLAZE: That sounds familiar. (Turns to Silver) Right, Silver?

SILVER: (Looks nervous) I have no idea what you're talking about…

NORA: And I'm Nora Valkyrie, and this quiet one here is Lie Ren.

REN: (Slowly waves) H-hello.

SONIC: Is there something going on with you two? I can tell there's something between you guys… (smirks)

REN: Uh-

NORA: Uh, we-we're not… together together…

SONIC: Right, and I'm Super Mario.

NORA: I thought you said your name was Sonic…

REN: Nora…ugh, never mind

YANG: Okay then, now we're all friends officially. So what are we gonna do now?

SHADOW: You guys aren't gonna do anything! We're gonna find the Chaos Emeralds and find a way back to our world somehow.

SONIC: Shadow, don't you think they could possibly, I dunno, help us?

SHADOW: And why would I even consider allowing that?

SILVER: Covering ground? More people means more searching done quicker, right?

SHADOW: And?

ROUGE: Well they definitely can hold their own when fighting. Besides, what if Eggman gets them and they aren't prepared for it?

SHADOW: I'm sure you could think of a better reason than that.

SONIC: What about the monsters around here?

SHADOW: Now you're just being stupid! Why would there be-?

SONIC: I'm not making this up, Shadow. I saw two of them myself. They almost had me, but then Ruby showed up and cut them to the quick.

RUBY: That's right. You don't understand how horrible the Grimm are. They're monstrous animal-like beasts that are attracted to anger and sadness of anyone's heart. They're so dangerous to the people of Vale. They once wiped out an entire city and made it their home. If they were to get out, or if there was a dangerous crime, that's where the Hunters and Huntresses come in. In order to keep things quiet, there's a barrier to protect the city from the Grimm's whereabouts.

YANG: And the subway terminal they were trapped in. Don't forget that one.

SONIC: Uh…

WEISS: You blue idiot! Didn't you listen to what they just said?

SONIC: I did, sorta…*yawns* but I only really last about 30 seconds for being serious. I just kinda zoned out.

WEISS: Why you!

SILVER: Weiss, you told me that the Grimm are evil creatures around here, right?

YANG: Uh…that's actually it in a very, very small nutshell, Silvs…

SILVER: Um, thanks?

SHADOW: So what you're saying is that this world is infested with these creatures like some kind of disease?

(Both teams nod)

BLAZE: It's impressive that you all are able to handle yourselves against such powerful foes.

AMY: Yeah! How do you manage to do it?

JAUNE: Oh! I remember this! It's our Aura!

THE SONIC GANG: Aura?

JAUNE: Pyhrra, you explain it. It's how I learned.

PYHRRA: Uh, okay then. Aura is a powerful force that comes from our very life force. Depending on how strong we are, our Aura is just as strong. There are many things it does for us. It gives us our strength, our ability to use our Semblance, a protective field, and the ability to heal minor wounds.

THE SONIC GANG: (All look confused) Uh…

JAUNE: Uh, it's our power source that gives us a shield and heals us.

THE SONIC GANG: Oh…

SONIC: See, why did you not just say that?

PYHRRA: What? You don't have anything like that?

SONIC: We have gold Rings, but I don't think they work the same way.

RUBY: Huh... anyway, what should we do? We can't just leave them here.

WEISS: What we should do about this is get them to Beacon and have them see Ozpin.

SONIC: Who's that? Some wizard who plays bowling?

RUBY: Sonic!

SONIC: What? You screwed up Eggman, I can't screw that up?

WEISS Not when he's our headmaster!

YANG: Yeah, he's kind of a big deal

SONIC: Okay, sorry. Sheesh.

SHADOW: Fine, we'll go with it.

SONIC: Alright! Let's do it!

RUBY, YANG, JAUNE, NORA, AMY: Yeah!

(Everyone begins to walk to Beacon, the Sonic gang following the lead of RWBY and JNPR)

SHADOW: I imagine this meeting is so we can let your headmaster know about the situation so you can stay out of our way.

JAUNE: I think it was meant to have us help you guys out. (Shadow shoots him a nasty look)

PYHRRA: Jaune, it's probably best for you not to say anything.

NORA: (Zips close to Shadow) Come on, why can't we help you guys out anyway? You nervous around girls or something? Weird condition? Odd smell? Something must be up if you don't want us helping you. What is it, huh? Huh? What is it, Shadow?

SONIC: (chuckles) And I thought I was annoying him.

REN: Nora, back off from him.

NORA: Okay… (She slumps back)

SHADOW: I'm having a hard time finding a reason to want to be around any one of you…

SONIC: Shadow… You don't get it. This is bigger than you, bigger than us, bigger than them, even.

SHADOW: I don't need you to tell me that, idiot!

SONIC: Geez! Sorry about that, Smiles.

(About an hour passes and everyone found someone to have a conversation with)

NORA: Your hammer is so cool!

AMY; Hey, yours can shoot missiles. All mine can do is have a trail of hearts and smash things with it.

NORA: Well it's really big! Where do you keep it, anyway?

AMY: I'll never tell.

SONIC: Trust me, no one knows.

NORA: Well it's still super awesome and really strong. It must be great to scare people with it, right?

AMY: Oh, you have no idea… (Her gaze goes to Sonic walking in front of her. He begins to sweat)

(They laugh a bit at Sonic's intimidation. Camera cuts to Silver and Jaune)

JAUNE: Why is Shadow acting like that? He's insane!

SILVER: Trust me, you get used to it. I used to be the whipping boy for him.

JAUNE: No kidding!

SILVER: Yeah. Somehow, I have this recurring dream that Shadow slows time down and roundhouses me in the back of the head. Just over and over with it.

JAUNE: Whoa…sounds like he's dangerous.

SHADOW: You guys know I can hear you two, right?

(Jaune and Silver shut up and walk forward with more tension. Camera cuts to Blaze, Blake, and Pyhrra)

BLAZE: Your leader struggles with fighting, so you have to mentor him? Sounds odd, but familiar.

PYHRRA: Yeah. Jaune was, uh… let's just say he was very lucky to get into Beacon at all, and I'm happy for him

BLAZE; At least you're happy for him, and that's all that matters, right?

BLAKE: And you're a cat Faunus too?

BLAZE: I was a cat and I turned into a human, but I still have my cat ears, claws, and tail. I suppose that makes me what you're talking about.

BLAKE: Yeah. It's honestly a relief to see another Faunus like me. It's nice to be able to be myself around new people.

BLAZE: Agreed.

(Camera cuts to Rouge and Weiss)

ROUGE: So, Snow White, what's your story? You said your dad owns the biggest company for whatever it was, and you left?

WEISS: I wasn't about to be stuck in some boring job for my father where I'd constantly be under his thumb. I'd much rather make my own future that won't be ruled by him.

ROUGE: Okay, but what about his money? You still are loaded, right?

WEISS: Hey, rude! That's none of your business.

ROUGE: Aw, that's too bad… Say…you wouldn't happen to-

SHADOW: Rouge, stop. You aren't going to rob her.

ROUGE: Dang it! Caught me again…

WEISS: Wait, what did he mean by-

ROUGE: Don't worry about it, hun.

(Weiss eyes Rouge suspiciously as the camera cuts to Shadow, Yang and Ren)

YANG: Well hey, judging by that attitude alone, you wouldn't have guessed you would have saved me

SHADOW: Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't try to save you. I just didn't want to have you get in my way.

YANG: Yeah, sure. I can understand why you saved me, and I appreciate it. (She smirks) You sly devil, you.

SHADOW: What's that supposed to mean?

YANG: Oh, I'm sure you'll figure it out. (winks at Shadow)

SHADOW(blushes for a sec) Ugh…hey, are you gonna add anything to this conversation?

REN: I'm strategically choosing to stay quiet during this whole thing.

SHADOW: Thanks for the help…

(Camera cuts to Sonic and Ruby)

RUBY: No kidding! You've saved your world how many times?

SONIC: Way too many to count. I can't even choose my favorite adventure!

RUBY: You sound like you have a lot of fun when fighting Eggman, Sonic.

SONIC: You never feel more alive than when you risk your life on the battlefield.

SHADOW: Where the hell did you pull that out of?

SONIC: I think I heard that from a snake or something, but that's not the point. It's just that rush of adrenaline you get when blasting around and busting Badniks. You must get that feeling when you fight the Grimm sometimes, right?

YANG: Actually, that's more my thing.

SONIC: And you're cool like that! (Thumbs up to Yang, who returns the favor)

RUBY: But, seriously, how long have you been doing this?

SONIC: For years now! I mean, it feels like I've been doing my thing for almost 25 years almost.

RUBY: What? How old are you?

SONIC: That's the thing! I'm only 17! Or was I 18? I forget sometimes.

RUBY: …Okay then… That's still pretty cool though!

SONIC: Heh, you bet it is! Can't wait to see what kind of adventures we can have here!

SHADOW: Don't get your hopes up, Sonic. Once we get the Chaos Emeralds, we're headed straight home.

SONIC: (Stops and turns to Shadow) Oh, come on! Can't ya just drop the whole serious routine for once and just have a little fun for once?

SILVER: Uh, guys?

SHADOW: Maybe you should actually understand the problem that you caused!

SONIC: I was nowhere near the Emeralds! That robot just has terrible aim!

RUBY: Guys? Hey!

SHADOW: Don't try to make up excuses for yourself! You're lucky the Emeralds didn't hurt anyone!

SONIC: Says the guy who uses the Emerald's power like it's his plaything and tool for war!

YANG: GUYS!

SONIC AND SHADOW: WHAT?!

RUBY: We're here!

(Sonic and Shadow walk forward to the top of a hill and they see Beacon Academy just over the top)

SHADOW: That's your school?

YANG: Yep. Beacon Academy. Best place to become a Hunter or Huntress bar none.

SONIC: Okay!

(The Sonic Gang look excited as they look upon the magnificence of Beacon)

SONIC: Hope you're ready for us, Beacon Academy! Sonic and the gang are comin' at ya!

(Points outward to the school in a confident, almost action movie, fashion)
