Hello everyone! Thrawn here, with a chapter and an apology. I am sorry for being super later with this chapter. There was a combination of being lazy, work, and playing Paper Mario Sticker Star.

Anyway, it's finally here! the showcase of the weapons! Once again, big shoutout to ParadoxalMindElla for the names and designs of half the weapons. I will make sure to tell you the inspiration for the weapons I did design at the end of the chapter.

There was lots of excitement in the atmosphere of Beacon Academy. It turned out that most of the student body was attending the revealing of the weapons of the newcomers. As a result, it was treated as a pep rally, except that this was probably going to be more entertaining.

On the main stage were several targets made out of bales of hay. Of course, some of the Mobians (mostly Shadow and Omega, though) had expressed distaste at the target choice. To compromise, Tails set up a few androids for the ones who would find the destruction of robots satisfying.

Speaking of Tails, the child prodigy had gone to great lengths to conceal what the weapons were. All of the weapons were brought out by Knuckles in large rectangular cases. The only differences between them were the symbols and colors on the cases.

Glynda Goodwitch stepped up to the microphone and addressed the students. "Good evening, and welcome to a special presentation led by our esteemed guests from Mobius. These weapons about to be showcased were created by the technical genius of the group, Miles Prower!" There was a polite applause while Tails waved. He took the microphone from the stand.

"Alright, before I start giving these weapons to my friends, I would like to thank Miss Glynda for allowing me to use the machine shop to craft them. Also, I don't think I could have gotten very far if it weren't for Teams RWBY and JNPR. Thank you, guys!"

Said teams waved from the front row.

"All right, enough with the speeches, I want to shoot something," grumbled Shadow.

"Very well, I hope this weapon will please you, Shadow. Please don't kill me if you don't like it." Tails handed the hedgehog a black and red case that had the symbol of the Black Arms on it, signifying Shadow's alien heritage. There was a tense pause as Shadow opened the case.

The weapon that Shadow acquired had a very familiar look to it. "I take it you based this baby off of the Shadow Rifle from the Black Arms crisis, right?" Indeed, the weapon looked like a carbon copy of the Shadow Rifle, with one exception: the gray parts were now red. Shadow fired the gun at a robot, and said robot disintegrated.

"Press that button on the side of the trigger," instructed Tails. Shadow did so, and the rifle quickly formed into a black and red katana with a very menacing serrated edge on the blade. He took a few experimental swings of it, and then looked at the fox. "Tails…"

*Gulp* "Yeah?" asked Tails nervously.

"What do you call it?"

"Uh… I dubbed it 'Crimson Dusk'."

There was a long pause. Shadow held out a fist, and then raised his thumb upwards, smiling. Everyone cheered in relief at the approval of the weapon. If hard to please Shadow liked his weapon, it was pretty likely the others would too.

"Rouge? Could you come here, please?"

"Sure, small fry. Let's see what you got."

Rouge opened up her case, and there were hearts in her eyes as she revealed four pistols covered in jewels. "Oh, baby! Now these are much better than those pistols that GUN gives us. But how can I possibly fire four at the same time?"

"Well, do to that, I will need to borrow your heels."

Rouge was skeptical, but she honored Tails' request. The fox installed small latches onto them, and Rouge put them back on. "Now put two of those onto those latches, with the barrel facing down."

"I still don't see how that will help, Fox Boy."

"Then point your feet at a target and push a button near the toe of your heel."

Rouge obliged, and was rewarded with the sound of a gun going off, and a hole in the target.

"Whoa. Now I could get used to this," said Rouge approvingly. "If you don't have a name, I think I will call them 'Lovac'.

"That's fine with me, I couldn't come up with a good name for them anyway," said Tails. "Okay, Knuckles, let me introduce you to your weapons, which I call the Clan Blade."

Tails revealed two golden gauntlets. The red echidna put them on, and when he clenched his fists, two blades came out of each gauntlet above where his spurs would be.

Knuckles whistled at the blades. "Not bad, certainly looks better than my old Shovel Claws. What does this button do?"

Before Tails could do or say anything, Knuckles pushed a button on his gauntlet. There was a loud bang, and one of the bulletproof windows the front row of the audience was hiding behind suddenly had quite a bit of spiderwebbing. Ruby made a note to herself to give the inventor of the glass a hefty donation.

"Okay, clearly that was a shotgun. Could you have pointed it at the target?!" demanded Weiss.

"Sorry! Sheesh, you press one button…" muttered an embarrassed Knuckles.

"… Anyway, when using the shotgun, point it at the enemy," said Tails. "Anyway, come on up, Silver!"

The hedgehog opened up his case and pulled out two silver guns that looked very futuristic. "Nice touch with the lights, but what does it shoot?" he asked.

"It shoots out superheated plasma. Don't ask me how, I have a feeling nobody would listen to me. But if you want to see something really interesting, press the switch on the top half of the guns," instructed Tails.

Silver did so, and the guns transformed into boomerangs. "I figured you might not be so skilled at the boomerang, but I did take into account your powers. If you miss, you could TK it."

"Thank you, Tails. I am certainly going to enjoy using these. I think I'll call them Shume."

"Very well. Amy, could you come up please?"

The pink hedgehog skipped over to Tails and opened a pink case he presented her. She pulled out a hammer similar to her Piko-Piko hammer and a pair of red boots. "What's this supposed to be?"

"Well, you were by far the most difficult to make a weapon for," explained Tails sheepishly. "You already have a weapon that you use regularly, and I didn't want to make a clone of Nora's Magnhild."

(In audience)

"HIII!"

"Nora, be quiet, please," said Ren, with his head in his hand.

(Back to the stage)

"Anyway, I added guns to a pair of boots that you would wear, but they would only activate when you jump using your hammer, and pressing a button on the handle." Tails pointed out the button.

"Oh, okay then!" Amy brightened when she understood how her weapon worked. "Shinkai shall be the name!"

"What is my weapon?" asked Omega impatiently.

Tails looked nervously at the robot. "Well, you already have an arsenal built into you, and I really couldn't think of a way to improve upon it."

"Answer not satisfactory." Omega raised his arms and revealed his rocket launcher. "Prepare for annihilation."

"What, seriously?!"

There was a tense pause. Omega broke it when he retracted his guns and said, "That was a joke. However, I am still not satisfied with your answer."

"Okay, ignoring the fact that you nearly gave me a heart attack, I did produce some Dust-enhanced ammunition and blueprints for grenade launchers." Tails handed a black case to Omega. "I think you should be able to scan the blueprints to form the launchers and integrate the ammunition into your weapons systems."

"Correct."

"Blaze, could you come up?"

The Mobian cat walked up to Tails and received her case. Inside was a rapier with a very interesting guard.

"Very nice, Tails. But why a rapier?"

"That was my recommendation," said Sonic. "When I was in the world of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, your knight persona was skilled in using a rapier."

"You know I still don't believe you, right?" muttered Amy. "You would say anything to get out of a date with me."

Blaze, ignoring the argument between the hedgehogs, flipped a switch on the handle, and the blade reverse-telescoped and rotated with the handle. When that happened, the guard extended two protrusions. The end result was a very elegant bow. Sonic whistled approvingly.

"Silver mentioned that you were into archery, so I figured that would be a good weapon for you," explained Tails.

"He was right," confirmed Blaze as she smiled at a blushing Silver. "What do I use for arrows?"

"I wasn't able to make any…"

"No, wait a minute!" interrupted Blaze, who just had an idea. She concentrated hard and was rewarded with the formation of a flaming arrow in the bow. She pulled the monofilament bowstring and let the arrow loose. The hay bale that was the target was incinerated in a matter of seconds.

"Okibi shall be your name," said Blaze approvingly.

"So what's your weapon, Tails? Did you not have time to make one for yourself?" asked Blake from the audience.

"My friend, I did make a weapon. I call it the Techie Bro!" Tails exclaimed while revealing two metal wrist bands from under his gloves. When he activated them, the left one transformed into an arm cannon, while the right one turned into a glove. He punched a button on the glove, and a transparent orange shield made of hexagonal tiles appeared.

"If you think that's cool, watch this!" Tails aimed the cannon at a hay bale and pulled a trigger. It fired a small ball that embedded itself in the hay. For five seconds nothing happened, and people were wondering if it was a dud. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning arced from the cannon to the ball bearing, and the hay started to catch on fire from the intense electricity.

"Whoa. That's shocking," quipped Pyrrha.

"Very impressive, Bro. I knew you would make great weapons."

"Thanks, Sonic! Don't go away yet, though." Tails pulled out the final case. This one was dark blue and had a buzzsaw-like emblem on it, representing Sonic.

"Oh, Tails, you know I don't really need a weapon. Besides, I don't like guns."

"Just open it, you won't be disappointed," insisted Tails. Sonic reluctantly opened his case.

Inside was a sheath with a sword. The sheath had blue and yellow designs on it, while the handle was gold. Sonic grabbed it and pulled the sword out slowly. After a dramatic time, the blue blur finally got the full look of the weapon.

It really had the shape of a simple sword. However, that's where the similarities ended. The blade itself was a really beautiful sapphire color.

"Unlike Amy, I did believe you when you said you went to the world of King Arthur. Especially when you appeared out of nowhere in front of me!" exclaimed Tails. "I know it doesn't talk, but I hope this sword will remind you of your companion."

Sonic smiled fondly at the memory of his friend Caliburn. "Thank you. Did you come up with a name for this beauty?" He swung the sword a few times.

"I wanted to leave that to you, bro."

Sonic grinned. "I call this the Cobalt Shard!"

Any further comment about the sword was interrupted by a loud voice saying "Knock knock!", followed by a loud bang. However, instead of the wall breaking, there was the sound of metal striking metal, followed by a few seconds of cursing. Apparently, the reinforcing of the arena paid off, but not in the way anyone expected.

"What is going on?!" shouted Glynda.

The voice of Professor Ozpin suddenly rang out through loudspeakers. "All students listen up. We have a heavily armed intruder attempting to enter the arena. Prepare to fight."

"Don't tell me Torchwick is back!" groaned Ruby.

"After that thrashing we gave him, I seriously doubt he would show up here. At least not for a month or two," remarked Sonic.

"Then who is attacking us?" wondered Blaze.

Finally, a section of wall was forced open, and a figure that was very familiar to the Mobians appeared.

"Somehow, I am not surprised at this." Shadow loaded Crimson Dusk with a fresh magazine.

Hovering over the students was a large pod was someone unknown to the Remnant natives, but to the Mobians, he was a hated enemy.

"Who is this guy, Sonic?" asked Weiss, who seemed to notice that the Mobians were looking at the new arrival with anger.

Sonic snarled and answered with one word:

"Eggman."

Okay, for Rouge's pistols, those were based off of the game called "Bayonetta", in which the main chick uses four pistols, with one on each limb.

For Silver's guns, think of silver Plasma Rifles from the Halo series.

Knuckles' blades are based off of the Yautja's wrist blades. For those who don't know, Yautja is the name of the race of aliens in the Predator movies.

I hope I am forgiven for taking so long. and in the next chapter, we will see why Eggman was collecting Creatures of Grimm, and see how the Mobians fight using their new weapons! Hopefully in a shorter amount of time between chapters.

PEACE!
