Hey guys!
I gotta say, I was kinda disappointed by the lack of reviews for the last chapter. As of this moment, only Child at Heart Forever reviewed it. I'm hoping that'll change soon. Hint hint.
Changing the subject, I just found out that the Lego games are available to download from Steam, so I've started playing Lego Marvel Superheroes. Man, those Lego games are fun, but I was even more surprised that Stanley Leiber himself is in the game- in fact, Stan Lee is the person in peril you have to save in the various levels and the hub, much like the citizens and students from the Lego Batman and Lego Harry Potter games. And Nolan North as Deadpool, like from his video game!
What I thought was pretty funny was a "Snakes on a Plane" reference on the Hellcarrier. You pretty much had to, and I quote, "Get these mother-freakin' snakes off this gosh-darned helicarrier" for Nick Fury. Considering that Samuel L. Jackson played Director Fury in the latest Marvel movies, I actually had to pause it, I couldn't stop laughing. XD
I don't own RWBY or Sonic. Enjoy!
Beacon Academy, 4:30 p.m.
"Man, I am beat," said Yang as they finally arrived back in front of Team RWBY's dorm. The gang had finished getting their gear from the airship, and were looking forward to taking it easy for the rest of the day.
"I wonder how Penny and Sun are doing," said Blaze.
"Well, let's call them after we unpack," said Ruby as she opened the door.
It turns out they didn't need to worry about Sun Wukong, because he was sitting on Yang's bunk, reading a comic book. "Hey guys, how was the trip?"
"Oh, it was nice. We saw the sights, found the Chaos Emerald, fought a bunch of robots, and Silver and Blaze got together," summarized Sonic.
"Cool. Hey, I have to introduce someone to you." Sun walked up to the window and reached for something out of sight. He pulled in a very tall person with gray pants, a red jacket, blue hair, and yellow goggles on his forehead. "Sup?" he said nonchalantly, as if hanging outside the window was a common occurence.
"Sun, who is this?" asked Blake, eyeing the stranger.
"This is my friend, Neptune. Neptune, these are the people I told you about." Sun introduced Team RWBY and the Mobians to him.
"Nice to meet you all."
"Why were you outside our window?" asked Weiss.
"I have my ways," Neptune responded with a wink. This caught the heiress off-guard, and she blushed furiously.
"Hey, look," said Tails. "Yang, Ruby, you got a package." The fox pointed at a small box on the desk.
"Oo, something from home!" squealed Ruby as she rushed to the desk, rose petals flying. She grabbed Knuckles, activated his Clan Blade, and used it to slice the box open, leaving the echidna very confused and with a sore arm.
Ruby pulled out what looked like a gray towel. However, that notion was dispelled when it quivered a few times, then gained the shape of a medium sized dog. It woofed happily upon seeing Ruby.
"AAAHHH!" Ruby yelled with joy. "ZWEI!"
Omega eyed the box, which was about half the size of the dog. "That canine was sent in the mail via this box? Cannot compute, does not seem physically possible," he droned, making a few computer noises before collapsing.
Tails pulled out a cord from his Miles Electric and connected it to a port on the robot. "Don't worry, Shadow. Omega's currently unconscious, or at least the robotic equivalent. He'll come around in a minute."
"That doesn't seem physically possible," commented Blaze, who was standing on top of the bookshelf, eyeing the dog with something like fear.
"The dog fitting in a small space, or a fainting robot?" asked Blake from her vantage point on Ruby's bunk with a similar expression.
Ruby put Zwei down and let the dog get acquainted with everyone in the room. Sonic bent down and petted him. "So why was the dog in a box?" he asked.
Yang picked up a letter in the box. "It looks like our dad had to go away on a trip to Vacuo, so he sent Zwei over so we could take care of him."
"Your dad sends pets in boxes?" asked Shadow with a raised eyebrow.
Zwei walked up to Omega, sniffing the robot as he started booting back up. Rouge carefully directed the dog away from Omega, fearful of what Zwei might do, and how the robot might react.
"Systems functional. Cause of shutdown, unknown."
"Let's just say you thought about something a little too hard," said Sun. "Well, you guys wanna hang out?"
"Sure, let's go!" answered Sonic. Zwei yipped in agreement. They asked Team JNPR to come along, but they opted out, saying that Jaune needed time to recover from the flight home. Apparently he forgot to take his ginger pills, and he still had a bad case of motion sickness, judging by the vomiting noises from the bathroom.
Streets of Vale, two hours later
The gang, with the addition of Neptune and Sun, had a great time walking along the streets of Vale. Shadow was unsurprisingly able to find a gun store, so he restocked everyone's ammunition. Yang and Ruby found a pet store and got some food for Zwei. The dog in question was happily following them, being his cute self.
"So, where should we eat?" asked Amy.
"I hope you don't mind Yarrgarita's," said Sun. "They have a special on steak dinner tonight."
"Do they allow animals?" asked Neptune, who was holding Zwei.
"Ah, don't worry about it," reassured Sonic. "We've been there before, and they let us Mobians in. So why not let in Zwei?" The dog barked in agreement.
The gang walked to the nightclub, and were admitted by the doorman. They sat at a large table and relaxed a bit, enjoying the music and the conversation.
Rouge, however, was still a little annoyed that she didn't get Silver and Blaze together. She got an idea and sent a text message to Sonic.
Sonic, since Blaze and Silver are now a couple, I think that a C40-06 is appropriate for this. Get up on stage when you're ready!
-Rouge
The blue hedgehog smiled and nodded at the white bat.
Dinner was indeed steak, and everyone enjoyed it in their own way. For some reason, Omega also got steak, but since he was physically incapable of eating anything, he cut his steak with his claws and kindly gave the slices to Zwei.
Sun was telling everyone about what Tali was doing. "Apparently, she's infiltrated the White Fang."
"Why would she do that?" asked Knuckles. "Isn't she marrying a human?"
The monkey Faunus nodded. "Yeah, but they don't know that. So, considering the crazy things you guys get into, there is a chance you may have to fight Tali. She isn't looking forward to that encounter any more than you, but she told me to tell you not to hold back. She doesn't want to blow her cover, after all."
"Let's hope it won't come to that," said a voice from the table, which had holographic decorations on it. Those decorations flashed a few times before Aeromi's avatar blinked into existence. "Sup, guys?"
"Um, who's the blue lady?" asked Neptune.
"That's one of Tali's gifts before she left," said Tails. "This is Aeromi, the A.I. of the Tornado X. Although I kinda wish you would give us more warning before you jump appliances."
"My bad."
"Aeromi, just out of curiosity, 'where' are you specifically?" asked Sun. "I know I helped install you in the Tornado X, but I don't remember you being able to do that."
"My core programs are in the Tornado X, but Tails thought it might be good if I was able to be anywhere. He was concerned that in the unlikely event of the Tornado X crashing or-" Aeromi suppressed a shudder- "being destroyed by enemy fire, I would be damaged, or even completely wiped out. To counteract this possibility, he thought that I should have the ability to move myself from various devices, so there would be less risk to me."
"Hey, where did Sonic go?" interrupted Amy. Everyone looked around, and not only was the blue hedgehog gone, they noticed that Team RWBY was also gone.
Zwei barked in the direction of the stage, and they saw their missing friends. Sonic and Ruby were setting up electric guitars, Weiss a microphone, Blake a bass guitar, and Yang a drum kit.
"What are they doing?" wondered Silver. His thoughts were interrupted as Rouge dragged him and Blaze onto the dance floor.
"Have fun, you two," Rouge said with a wink.
Ruby started out with a slow guitar riff, then Yang joined with the drums. Then, Sonic joined in with a sweet guitar solo as he started singing.
Crush 40- Fire Woman
Sonic: Shake, shake, shake,
Shake it, yeah!
Silver and Blaze didn't really know how to react to this, but they looked at each other, shrugged, and started to dance to the song.
Wound up, can't sleep
Can't do anything right, little honey,
Since I set my eyes on you.
I'll tell you the truth.
At this point, Weiss joined Sonic, finally getting her wish to sing. Aeromi, wanting to get in on the action, modified the holographic decorations on the tables in the club to display flames, which would say later was a nice touch.
Weiss and Sonic: T-t-twisting like a flame
In a slow dance baby,
You're drivin' me crazy,
Come on, little honey,
Come on down!
Fire, smoke, she is a-rising!
Fire!
Oh, smoke on the horizon, well
Fire, smoke, she is a-rising!
Fire!
Oh, smokestack lightning,
Smokestack lightning.
Sonic did another short guitar solo, then yelled, "Sing it, Ice Queen!"
Weiss: Shake it up, you're to blame,
Got me sweatin', little honey,
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame.
Oh, yes it is, uh!
On the dance floor, Silver and Blaze were drawing a crowd. They cheered the new couple on, but the two from the future were lost in the music and each other's eyes.
Sonic and Weiss: Tracin' like a cat on a hot tin shack,
Lord! Have mercy,
Come on, little sister,
Come one and shake it!
Fire, smoke, she is a-rising!
Fire!
Oh, smoke on the horizon, yeah!
Fire, smoke she is a-rising!
Fire!
Oh, smokestack lightnin', baby!
Ruby went into another solo here, drawing cheers from the Mobians, Sun and Neptune, and a few barks from Zwei. The impromptu band suddenly quieted things down.
Sonic: I was thinkin',
Weiss: What I've been missin',
Sonic and Weiss: I'll tell you truthfully, well.
Silver and Blaze separated briefly as the pyrokinetic cat summoned flames around her. Silver used his powers to levitate her. Slowly, he brought Blaze closer.
She's comin' close now,
Oh, I can feel her,
She's getting close to me,
YEAH!
Blaze and Silver kissed as the blue blur went into yet another guitar solo at this point in the song, freeing one hand to high-five Weiss as they resumed singing.
Sonc and Weiss: Fire, smoke, she is a-risin,
Fire!
Yeah, smoke on the horizon, yeah!
Fire, smoke, she is a-risin-risin,
Fire!
Oh, smokestack lightnin'.
Yeah!
Burn it out, shake it baby,
Gotta have money,
Stand down in front of me,
Say, stand down in front me,
Say stand down in front of me, yeah.
Fire woman,
You're to blame,
Fire woman, you're to blame,
Stand down in front of me,
Say, stand down in front of me,
Stand down, stand down,
Fire woman!
As the song winded down, Blaze and Silver kissed again, bringing more cheers. The Corpirate, who was watching from a distance, smiled at the scene.
Weiss looked at Sonic. "Thanks for letting me sing something for once."
"I had a feeling you were feeling left out after not singing twice," the hedgehog responded.
Zwei walked up to Ruby. She lifted the dog in her arms. "Come on, let's go home, guys."
As the gang left the club, Blaze and Silver were holding hands, feeling like nothing could disturb them from their peace. That would change as they adjusted back into their daily routine, but for now, they just enjoyed the moment.
Elsewhere in the club, Emerald looked at Rouge, barely restraining her fury at the bat. 'Our time will come, Rouge,' she thought. 'And when it does, only one of us will be walking away.'
Before you guys say anything, I am aware that my little introduction of Zwei does copy the episode slightly, but I thought I would add my own little tweaks to it. Hope you don't mind.
Well, you guys asked for a Crush 40 song, and I have delivered. Probably might get some hate for it, based on the comments of the youtube video I got the lyrics from. Oh well, can't please everyone. Besides, this is something that's been in the works pretty much since I started writing this in... *checks publish date* Really? I started writing this back in February? Wow.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and please leave a review!
