(FLASHBACK!)
As the partially shattered moon shines its reflection of the sun over the beautiful dust-red leaves of the trees in Forever Fall Forest, and even the grass is red. And as usual, the creatures of Grimm are on the move, hoping to find any poor unfortunate souls that are wandering the forest. But unfortunately for the Grimm, tonight is not their night.
But otherwise, deep inside the forest is Faunus boy, a kitsune Faunus boy to be precise. He sleeps peacefully while tied safely to the base of one of the forest's famous red-leaved trees with his legs resting on a strong branch and his back against the tree. He wore a pair of slightly torn sand-green shorts with a leather belt, brown sneakers, a white T-shirt, a brown hoodie with the sleeves torn off and a small amulet hanging from his neck. His skin tone was pale white, he had brown hair that was 'almost blonde', he was around 3 feet tall, he had a slightly average build, a tattoo of the White Fang's symbol on the back of his neck that is gradually fading away; on his right shoulder, crossing down to under left arm was a dark grey shoulder pouch, bearing the symbol of Beacon academy; but his most notable and surprising feature was that of his Faunus heritage: twin fox tails.
It's been three weeks since he left his family and the White Fang and Menagerie and entered this beautiful forest. But he still hasn't found a way out of this beautiful - but starting to get annoying - red forest.
"Hah!" the voice of a female cried followed by some Grimm howling, gunshots and slashing sounds throughout the forest making the Kitsune Faunus stir in his sleep. The lids of his eyes fluttered open, revealing his sky-blue eyes. He groaned in frustration and yawned. After rubbing the sleep from his tired eyes, he opened them again. He began to take in his surroundings, trying to see who or what had made that sound. Then he heard the sounds of slashing, gunshots, and Beowolves howling. "What in the hell is going on around here?" he thought as he works to untie himself from the tree. Once freeing himself, the young kitsune Faunus coiled the rope around his arm but it was revealed to be a bullwhip. Taking the whip off from where it hung around his arm and clipping it to his belt, he jumped from the branch taking flight into the air and towards the sounds resonating through the forest.
He soon came upon the source of the comotion. A woman in a white hooded cloak was combating some of the local Grimm. He had never seen such a battle in his short life, the lady in white was wielding what was - if not - thee most dangerous weapon ever designed. A double bladed scythe, "Wow!" he thought in amazement "I've only read about those in books, their supposed to be far more dangerous than a regular scythe, and only the most skilled of huntsmen and huntresses are able to...! Wait a minute..." he realized "that means..." he looks up wide-eyed with a small smile creeping upon the kitsune Faunus' face in excitement "SHE'S A HUNTRESS!" his excitement rising way off the charts.
His tails suddenly twitch at the faint sound of a twig snapping behind him and his attention is drawn away from the Huntress to this new sound. Turning around ever-so-carefully, once he sees what it was, he didn't like it.
Not.
One.
Bit.
An Ursa Major, thanks to his self-taught survival training only one word enters his mind. "Fly!" and he does just that as he spins his twin tails at speeds too fast for the naked eye, and takes off into the air and lands on one of the highest branches on the tree next to him. He looks down towards the grounded Grimm and is about to laugh at it in a mocking manner but has second thoughts as he realizes that this is one bigger than the average Ursa. It brings up its arm and slashes at the tree in the boy's direction. "Big mistake!" he exclaims in fear berating himself as he jumps from the tree to evade its attack, not realizing that he had just caught the attention of the Huntress.
"*Smash!*" its clawed paw collides into the tree, turning the once beautiful tree to twigs, splinters, and chunks of wood. The Ursai reers on its hind legs and lets out a roar before charging at the boy. Landing on the ground he does a barrel roll to dodge a some flying debris not to mention the Grimm's paw smashing down into the ground where he just was previously. Standing up he realizes that he was in the area that the Huntress he had been watching for a brief second was in and quickly looks down to avoid eye contact, for fear of getting in trouble, and then there's the fact that he doesn't like being stared at, for obvious reasons of course.
She had just finished off a Beowolf before she heard this boy who had just landed in front of her after evading the Ursa's attack and the debris, she was impressed by his skill at his age, he had to be like by 3 by the looks of things. But was mostly surprised that this Faunus boy had two fox tails.
She noticed that on the back of his neck was a near completely faded tattoo of the White Fang's emblem, "That explains it." she thought smiling a bit she shrugged and whipped around, delivering slashes at the large Ursa as it tries to attack again.
It backed away from the Huntress and it stared into her silver eyes. It roared and charged at her then stood up as it neared her bringing its arm back about to swing at her. She grinned and sliced the Grimm's head CLEAN OFF! As the head fell from its perch, she held her weapon behind her in a way that made her seem intimidating but cool at the same time.
"Wow." he thought again in amazement.
The Huntress turned to him smiling, and once again the young boy became nervous. Though he was well known while in the White Fang for his high IQ he was also very skittish and got nervous very easily. The Huntress noticed his nervousness and chuckled, "It's alright I'm not going to hurt you, I am a Huntress after all." hearing this seemed to calm him down a bit more. She walked over to him putting her weapon into its storage mode and patted him on the head gently, "I'm Summer Rose." she said kneeling down shaking his hand. He almost geeked out when he saw that she had silver eyes - after all he had spent most of his time when he was still apart of the White Fang and living on Menagerie in a library reading books, his main favorite legends/fairy tales being 'the Silver Eyed Warriors' - but he had self control and calmed his excitement before it could show itself. Shaking her hand he replied nervously "Miles Prower, but most just call me 'Tails'."

12 years later
Miles "Tails" Prower was aboard the Airship along with his sister Ruby waiting for their older sister Yang.
12 years ago Ruby's mother Summer had met Tails and along with Yang and Ruby's dad Taiyang, they adopted the young kitsune Faunus.
He has grown to the same size as Ruby was which wasn't surprising considering they were the same age; he had an almost average build, his hair - which he has been told feels more like fur than hair - was now orange which suited him well, and his tails were much more stronger and had grown to suit his size; he now wore an orange sleeveless hoodie with white trim, and on its right side it bore his emblem: a tornado and two fox tails; a white long sleeved shirt, with the sleeves rolled halfway up his arms; a pair of light beige pants, and a belt holding his weapons in their storage modes: two war-arm-blades which he called "Tornado" and "Twister" but combined they are "Tempest" their colours were orange and white with some silver; platinum and brown combat boots with his emblem on the sides; he had a pair of aviator goggles with blue lenses which he wore atop his head, Tai had told him they looked good on the fox boy; and he still sported his Beacon shoulder pouch he had since he was a kid. He has grown to like his nickname though, and to his surprise, yesterday both he and Ruby had been accepted into Beacon academy. Under normal conditions they would have had to wait 2 more years before applying to Beacon academy. As much as he was he was excited about this Tails was beginning to wonder why Ozpin let them in 2 years earlier. "Maybe it's because of my mutation or Ruby's silver eyes? After all the legends of Silver Eyed Warriors are awesome and almost realistic - not to mention my favourite!"
"Ruby? Tails?" a voice behind the them asked. Turning around Tails and Ruby saw their older sister Yang running towards them, "What are you two doing here?" the blonde haired powerhouse had an eyebrow raised upwards in surprise and confusion "Well... um... uh... you see-" Ruby tried but Tails saw this was going to take to long put his hand up saying "Hey Ruby? You've had a hard night, let me explain." and took over for her as he turned to Yang "Heh. Well you see, we..."
After Tails finished telling her what happened and being sure not to leave out any details. "Wait, wait, wait, hold on." Yang said waving her hands in front of them trying to make this clear "Professor Ozpin accepted the both of you into Beacon for showing your scythe wielding skills while fighting a bunch of goons?" "Um... actually I use a double bladed scythe, plus I believe it's more than just- oof!" Tails was interrupted as Yang hugged the two 15 year olds.
"Oh no! Not the bear hugs! Ahhhh!" his mind screamed as Yang crushed the air out of him and Ruby "Oh, I can't believe both my baby sister and brother are going to Beacon with me! This is the best day ever!" Yang exclaimed her voice full of joy. "Please stop." Ruby says gasping for air, Tails nodded his head in agreement. Yang stopped and stepped back "Freedom!" Tails' mind exclaimed as his sister and him were released from their sister's hug "But I'm so proud of you!" "Really Sis, it was nothing." Ruby said "What do you mean? It was incredible!" "Yeah, I guess it was pretty awesome." Tails said silently being a little too proud of his skills with Tempest. "Everyone at Beacon's going to think you're the Bee's knees!" "I don't want to be the "bee's knees", okay? I don't want to be any kind of knees!" Ruby says not wanting to draw any special attention to herself "I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees." Tails just kept quiet and looked back out the window and realized that while he was telling Yang about last night, the ship they were on had already taken off.
He had been hoping to see be able to see the way it took off and began berating himself for not paying attention. Sighing he walked around the area and noticed a hatch on the ceiling that was big enough for an Alpha Beowolf to fit through. Grinning he began a short run and jumped towards it using his namesakes to help him fly up to it, he grabbed the handle of it and swung his body forward opening the hatch in the process and landed on the roof of the airship and closed the hatch. Then as he began walking he heard the 2D animated news broadcasts on the projections inside the ship, he jumped off the edge, taking flight and flew up to one of the windows. The man on the screen named Cyril said:
"The robbery was led by nefarious criminal Roman Torchwick, who continues to evade authorities. If you have any information on his whereabouts, please contact the Vale Police Department."
It then showed an image of the man from last night that he and Ruby had fought against with the help of Glynda Goodwitch. He recalled about to chase after the Bulkhead that Roman and his accomplice had escaped in but Gynda had told him not to, and since she was a Huntress he knew he had to follow her orders. He still didn't like how the thief had called him a "freak". He scowled at the photo angrily, he hated being called "freak". "Different", "Tails", and "fox boy" he could handle but call him freak and he takes it as an insult.
Cyril continued "Back to you Lisa." the scene changed to a lady with light grey hair and yellow eyes and a black suit and purple dress shirt, "Thank you Ceril. In other news, this Saturday's Faunus Civil Rights Protest turned dark, when members of the White Fang disrupted the ceremony." a photo of a bunch of Faunus protesters holding up signs saying 'WE ARE NOT ANIMALS!' appeared behind Lisa; which Tails started to scan for any familiar faces. "The once peaceful organization has now disrupted-" she was stopped short as the broadcast disappeared much to Tails' disappointment. He was hoping he'd see some old friends in the photo but sadly he didn't.
He then saw a hologram of Glynda Goodwitch appear, and he became interested again. The hologram began "Hello, and welcome to Beacon! My name is Glynda Goodwitch. You are among a privileged few who have received the honour to attend this prestigious academy! Our world is experiencing an incredible time of peace, and future Huntsmen and Huntresses, it is your duty to uphold it. You have demonstrated the courage needed for such a task, and now it is our turn to provide you with the training to protect our world." Tails figured that it was just a recorded hologram, but as she disappears he realizes that the ship has began picking up speed and the people inside were moving to the windows to look outside.
He picks up speed as well so that he could be next to it the whole time, then all of a sudden. "Hey! What's that no good Faunus doing out there?" He heard the voice of a young lady demanding as he passed a window. "I think, what you should be asking is how I am flying." Tails jokes as he flies to the top of the airship and runs to the hatch he came out of, opening it and jumping through and closing it at the same time. He chuckles as he walks over to his sisters.
Once he is next to them they hear a passenger hunched over nearby groaning and runs away from the window covering his mouth. "Motion sickness" he thinks rolling his eyes as he takes a few steps back when the boy nears and then passes them. That's when he notices something on Yang's shoe.
Sweating he asks "Um Yang?" "Well... I guess the view isn't for everyone." Yang says rolling her eyes "Um... Yang?" he tries again. "It was a nice moment while it lasted." "Um... Yang?" Tails says tapping her on the shoulder. "Yes?" "Um... there's puke on your shoe." he states, Yang looks down and sure enough there's puke on it. "I wonder who were going to meet?" Ruby wonders outloud.
"Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross!" Yang exclaims suddenly getting Ruby's attention and Tails takes flight towards the ceiling to avoid getting puke on his namesakes. "I just hope they're better than vomit boy." Tails states as he looks down watching the scene before him. "Get-Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me! Get away from me!" Ruby exclaims as she tries to avoid Yang as she tries kicking the vomit off her shoe. Tails can't help but look away and he spots someone through the window who looks familiar in a window on another airship but shrugs when he sees its a bow on her head. He shakes his head and sighs "Miles... she's not here, so stop thinking about her... the more you think about it, the more you wish you never left." he thought to himself both angrily and sadly missing the family that had raised him until he ran away for reasons he still didn't know why. Focusing on the scene below him, and he yelps as Yang kicks the vomit off her shoe and in his direction. Reacting quickly he opens the hatch and gets out of the way, it flies out the airship and into the sky. He then closes it and sets himself back down. "Hope it doesn't hit anyone..." he thinks feeling bad for the poor soul who gets hit by the launched puke.
As they approach Beacon academy he says to his sisters. "Welp... here we go, 'Welcome to Beacon' I guess." "Nice one bro." Yang says giving him a fist bump.

A/N - Finally! I finished it! Wooo! Phew! Man that was harder than I thought it would be but I finally did it. Welcome to my newest series:
Tails of Dimensions 1: RWBY VOL1
I hope you enjoyed it cause I have some explaining to do, now first of all Tails had originally called his weapons "Tornado" and "Twister" and when they combined "Tempest". He originally had been white and orange but later on you'll understand why he became black and orange. Plus his life kindof reset and he forgot everything from his world but he will regain it of course later on hopefully in volume 6. Also a shoulder pouch is like what Indiana Jones wears. As for the amulet, the link to the amulet is on my profile page.
Now don't forget to Fav/Rev/Fol/or all if you'd like your choice.
I will be doing the other chapters for my other stories of course and when I complete 1 of these stories I won't make the next one of that series until I have completed all the ones I already started and haven't finished.
See you next time and have a great day!
