Heyo, Thrawn here. I hope you guys saw the premiere of RWBY Volume 2 last Thursday, because I am bringing in two characters from the new season! Unfortunately, one of them isn't the blue haired guy voiced by Kerry Shawcross. If you haven't seen it, let me sum it up for you:
Best. Food fight. Ever.
Of all time.
I don't own RWBY or Sonic, they are owned by Roosterteeth and Sega, respectively.
Egg Ark, midnight
"So what's this big plan of yours, almighty Doctor?" asked Roman Torchwick sarcastically. Eggman was walking down the halls of his base with Roman, showing off his base and his robot factories. Roman was slightly impressed by his acquisition of the Creatures of Grimm, but he wanted to see something better than that before he reported back to Cinder.
"Ho, ho, it's just down here. I have been keeping him powered off because he has a tendency to betray me when he has enough power. It's quite annoying, really."
'Gee, I wonder why,' thought Roman.
They finally arrived at the right room when Eggman suddenly went pale. The entrance to the room was blown apart outwards, like something got out. He rushed in the room and found scorch marks everywhere, but no sign of the pile of junk that was critical to his plans.
"Okaaaayy… What could have caused this mess?" asked Roman.
Eggman ignored him and went to a microphone on the wall. "Orbot, what happened in storeroom Meta?"
"Checking tapes… Oh, boy. You aren't going to like this, Doctor."
"Just show me what happened!" yelled Eggman, who was now sweating profusely. A screen unfolded itself out of the wall, and the video playback began.
The footage showed a pile of parts shoot out wires to the wall, and said pile began to take the form of a hedgehog. Roman watched in fascination as the hedgehog looked around and crushed a small part with one hand. It then seemed to notice the camera, and it held out its hand. A wave of energy erupted from it, causing the recording to switch to a screen filled with static.
Roman was shocked by what he just saw. "What. Was. That."
"That was a creation of mine that went rogue a few years ago, posing as me. It took that blasted hedgehog and his friends to defeat him, and even then, it was not looking good for them during some moments."
Roman was getting fed up with the evasive answering. "But who is it?!"
Eggman looked at him with fear in his eyes. "Metal Sonic."
Forest of Forever Fall, 3:00 a.m.
Despite the scheming of Eggman, it was an unusually peaceful night in Forever Fall. The silence was disturbed only by the footsteps of a very large scorpion making its way to a nearby river. The Deathstalker's runes on its carapace glowed in its reflection as it drank from the river. This one woke up from a long hibernation, and it wanted to quench its thirst before it terrorized a nearby village.
Suddenly, it sensed a disturbance nearby. The Deathstalker whirled around to face the source. A metallic creature that resembled a hedgehog was facing it.
The Deathstalker was very intrigued by this being, but it was mostly annoyed that its drink was interrupted. The scorpion roared and lunged towards the robot, all thoughts of caution abandoned. It thrust a claw, intending to crush it, but the robot just caught it and threw the scorpion behind him.
'Stupid bug… What did it think it could do to a being like me?' thought Metal Sonic.
The Deathstalker was infuriated by this embarrassment. It let out a roar that was heard for miles, and then threw itself at the robot. Metal Sonic blocked the claws again, but this time, he was knocked back by the stinger. He wasn't affected by the poison, of course, but he was knocked to the ground a fair distance away. The Deathstalker eagerly ran forward for the kill.
However, Metal Sonic wasn't out of tricks yet. As the giant mouth filled his vision, he thrust a clawed hand into the scorpion's underside. A black cloud seemed to flow from the scorpion to Metal Sonic. The Deathstalker suddenly felt weaker, as if its energy was being drained. It backed away from the robot, but was too late. The scorpion swayed back and forth, and then finally collapsed.
Metal Sonic stood up, but he had a different look. On his arms and legs was white armor that had glowing runes, not unlike the Deathstalker's. He looked at himself, pleased with the results of his little experiment.
"Deathstalker data- has been copied!" he proclaimed dramatically.
Somewhere above the ocean, 7:30 a.m.
"This is the Captain speaking. We are on approach to the Vale Airport. Please fasten your seatbelts."
"Finally, we're here," sighed a girl in relief. She had bright green hair, red eyes, and dark skin. She was wearing a shirt that showed off her midriff and was pretty low-cut. However, she gave off a vibe that said, "Don't mess with me", so that discouraged a lot of guys who might ask her out. Plus, it could also have been the person she was sitting next to. He had purple eyes, a vest and shirt that matched his silver hair, and black pants.
The guy sitting next to her shifted in his seat. "What, did the flight attendant not have much on her this time?"
Emerald shifted her eyes to the speaker. "First of all, Mercury, the flight attendant had a lot of Lien. Second, you snore like an Ursa with a cold."
"Well, excuse me, Miss Thief, I didn't know you had such low tolerances."
Emerald rolled her eyes.
"So, what does the boss lady want us to do while in Vale?"
"We're here to assist in the neutralization of several key targets. Cinder didn't say who they were; she just requested our presence in dealing with this matter."
The conversation was cut short as the airship glided down the runway for a landing. The duo quickly got off before the flight attendant noticed her missing wallet. They walked down to the docks and entered the warehouse where Roman had the Dust stockpiled.
"Emerald, Mercury, I'm glad you came," Cinder greeted warmly (AN: pun intended).
"And just who are these intruders?"
The two newcomers turned around and saw Eggman. "Watch your tongue, Doctor. These two are my associates, and they can be quite deadly."
"Cinder, may I address my concern, as your associate?" asked Mercury.
"Go ahead."
"Why are we involving this outsider? He isn't part of the White Fang, and it's bad enough that we are working with Torchwick."
"I heard that!" shouted Roman from the other side of the warehouse.
"You were supposed to," countered Mercury.
Cinder explained Eggman's credentials and his new role in the organization.
"So, you're from another world?" asked Emerald. "Clearly, obesity is a universal problem."
"Argh, it's bad enough that Sonic and his friends make fun of me, but now you?!" shouted Eggman. Orbot and Cubot rolled up to either side of him and popped up.
"Well, Doctor, maybe if you would do your daily exercises, you wouldn't be the target of so many fat jokes," stated Orbot.
Cubot completed ignored them and rolled straight for Emerald. "Howdy, little lady. My name is Cubot, and if ya don't mind me sayin', you're purtier than a sunset on a painted desert."
"Uh-um, thanks?" Emerald stammered. She was kind of surprised at the sudden appearance of the robots, let alone one of them flirting with her.
Eggman sighed at Cubot's antics. "Just ignore him. He may be annoying, but trust me, this is an improvement."
"I'll… take your word for it," said Emerald
"Anyway, who do you want us to kill?" asked Mercury, getting down to business.
"Doctor Eggman here isn't the only being from another world to arrive on Remnant." Cinder took out a scroll and displayed the Mobians. "Your job is to eliminate these beings. I don't care how you do it, just don't draw too much attention to yourselves."
Emerald looked at the photo of Rouge. "I'll take the bat. It says she is a thief?"
"That's right, and one of the best in my world," said Eggman. "Make no mistake, though, she is also one of the top agents in the Guardian Unit of Nations, or G.U.N."
Emerald donned an evil smirk. "We'll see how good she is compared to me."
"What makes you so special, ya little twerp?" demanded Eggman.
"Uh, Doctor? You seem to be missing your goggles," said Orbot.
Eggman felt his forehead, and his goggles were indeed missing. Emerald reached in her pants and pulled them out while grinning. Needless to say, Eggman was very impressed.
"Ok, I take back the twerp remark. Can I have my goggles back?"
Afterwards, Roman walked up to Eggman with a worried look on his face. "How come you didn't tell Cinder about that Metal Sonic freak?"
Eggman, looking equally worried, replied, "Believe me, I don't like having that doppelganger loose any more than you do, but one of the core programs I installed is an insatiable hatred of Sonic. He may end up destroying Sonic for us!" he finished with a manic grin.
"But from what I have heard, you have never beaten Sonic. At least, not for very long. What makes you think you could destroy something that could be even more powerful than him?"
Eggman gulped.
Well, expect an awesome fight between the thieves. Personally, I thought I did a pretty good job in depicting Emerald's personality. Tell me what you think, though.
By the way, tell me what you think about the jokes I write in. In real life, I am actually pretty reserved. I don't usually bring in this much comedy, lol.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please leave a review.
