"Get those Crates loaded!" "Hurry it up!"

"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous group of criminals here!"

Was heard by around the docks of Beacon.

"Hold on bud...this might be our chance..." a boy muttered as he got up from a metal floor, looking out to see a cat faunas holding a sword to the neck of another human. "Now or never I guess..." the boy muttered, stepping back as he revved up into a ball.

He could hear commotion outside, and wait until he was sure a full on battle was going on before he shot forward, bouncing off the walls of a massive crate until the doors burst open to reveal a blue streak speeding by, knocking White Fang down until it finally stopped moving.

As the dust settled around whatever the blur was, it revealed something...different. A light tanned boy, maybe 16, with messy blue hair stood up as the hair extended back to form six down curved spikes from the back of his head, the spikes stopping at just below shoulder length. He wore a beat up blue jacket with holes in his jeans and red shoes that had bandages to keep them together. As he stood, people also noticed the ears from the top of his head, along with the spikes coming from his shoulder blades and one from the base of his back. He opened his emerald green eyes and smirked, cracking his knuckles. "Alright, let's GO!" He yelled as he burst into a blur, causing confusion and mayhem among the White Fang grunts.

Three goons cornered him. The first one came at him with a sword, but he ducked under it and shot up, kicking the goon in the chin. the second came at him with a bat and quicker than the eye could follow, the blue one swiveled in mid-air and brought down his leg in a axe kick. The final White Fang shot a gun, but the blue one dodged to the side just in time, and dashed forward, doing a somersault and tripping the crook before turning and hitting him with the ball form again, knocking the three out. He clapped his hands together to dust them off, before turning his head to see an orange haired girl shoot down a bullhead. He looked on and raised his fists in excitement as the others came into view.

"Uh...who are you?" The girl in red asked.

The cat faunas tilted her head a little. "Or...what are you? Faunas only have one trait, but you have multiple..."

The boy turned around, putting a thumb on his chest. "My name is Sonic! And thank you for helping me and-OH NO!" Sonic yelled in a panic as he dashed around the docks frantically, as if he were looking for something. He was moving so fast it looked as though he could likely keep up with Oobleck. "Where are you buddy?" He whispered to himself as he came across another crate similar to what he was in. He opened it and walked inside as everyone heard a scared whimper.

As the group looked in the crate, their day got twice as weird when they saw Sonic holding a boy who couldn't be older than 12. He had yellow-orange hair with three big strands coming from the front two fox ears coming from his head, a beat up jacket and pants that were in equally bad condition as Sonic's clothes.

"Hey bud, it's over. I told you we'd get out of this place." Sonic said as he looked up to see the people that helped him. "These folks helped up out a bit, why don't we say thanks?" He asked as the younger boy looked up to show scared light blue eyes as he got up. That's when the others noticed two fox tails. They backed up a bit shocked when they looked at Sonic, his arm around the younger boy in a protective manner as he faced the others with a stern message on his face. "Go easy on him, or we'll have trouble."

"This is Miles, and I already told you my name. Who are you guys?" Sonic asked as everyone introduced themselves. The only one showing no real signs of surprise was the orange haired girl, Penny. That's when they heard the sirens. "Uh oh, we gotta bail. Miles, hold on to-Miles?" Sonic asked as he looked down to see Miles already falling asleep.

"Why run from the police, they can help you." Ruby asked concerned.

Sonic looked back at her. "Or we'd just trade one cell for another. Sorry, but no thanks. Besides, I don't know if you noticed, but we're not exactly normal looking. Think someone wouldn't want a crack at it to find out why?" Sonic asked as he backed up.

Ruby walked up. "But...where do you intend to go? If you run, you'll just be hunted down." She pleaded.

"Or worse" Blake added.

Sonic sighed in defeat, knowing he might not be fully able to keep Miles safe should something happen.

The rest of Team RWBY arrived at the scene with the cops, Sonic explaining as best he could what happened on his account. He introduced himself and Miles to the rest of Team RWBY, with Weiss being careful around them. Sonic brushed it off as he knew he wasn't exactly the picture of a trusty looking person. Or faunas, whatever he was now.

"Look, you'll have to come down to the station with us buddy." A cop told Sonic who gave him a serious look.

"No way pal, I ain't getting locked up again, and neither is my friend here. I'm not going with you." Sonic shot out, looking like he was ready to bail. Blake and Ruby looked at each other, knowing that Sonic would not go quietly or easily, and that if he could run away then he would've done it by now.

"Where else you gonna go?" The cop asked. Sonic looked down in thought, thinking the cop had a point. But he knew exactly what would happen should he go with them, he'd become another experiment. He was a hedgehog, not a rat. Then Ruby piped up an idea that didn't sound all that bad.

"He could come to Beacon with us. You won't be locked up in a cell and you'd have a place for both of you to sleep." Ruby said. This got Sonic thinking. After only just meeting them, Sonic knew he could trust at least Ruby, Blake, and Sun. If they wanted to turn him over, they would have tried by now. Plus, her offer was better than the alternative.

"I happen to agree with that idea." A voice was heard as everyone turned to see a man in a green suit and cane in one hand, coffee mug in the other. He walked towards them, taking a sip of his coffee.

Sonic raised an eyebrow. "And you are...?" He asked.

"My name is Professor Ozpin, Headmaster of Beacon Academy." Ozpin introduced himself.

Sonic looked at him skeptically, weighing his options. He agreed to head to Beacon with Ozpin, figuring he could already trust Ruby and Blake at least.

Ozpin was concerned however as he knew their stay would attract unwanted attention from the council due to his...unique appearance.

Everyone boarded the bullhead and flew off to their own destination. Sonic looked on to see the nightly silhouette of this "Beacon Academy", thinking this could get interesting. Their ship landed as everyone walked up until Ozpin pulled Blake aside, saying he wanted to have a small chat with her first. He also told Ruby, Yang, and Weiss to show Sonic to his dorm which was conveniently down the hall from their own, as well as JNPR's.

Entering the room, Sonic looked around. It was meant for four people, so it was plenty big enough for him and Miles. He set his friend down on a bed and put the blanket over him, Thanking the girls for their help. He then found a bed to call his own and lied down, closing his eyes. He could hardly believe it, he and Miles were safe from the White Fang, at least for now. He drifted to sleep, preparing to explain everything to team RWBY and Ozpin tomorrow.
