Man, this one was a hassle. I apologize for getting it out so late, it's just that I wanted to add Winter Schnee, and the day the episode that featured her was supposed to air was taken up by Rooster Teeth doing a 24 live stream for Extra Life. It's pretty weird seeing Jack Patillo with no beard. Anyways, I wanted to get a good look at Winter's personality before I actually added her. Love how they casted Elizabeth Maxwell for the role of Winter. I've been watching a bit of Ghost in the Shell, and Elizabeth makes a great Winter.

Also, I love how they did Qrow. Vic Mignogna was a good choice for him. I feel like Achievement Hunter's Geoff Ramsey would get along great with Qrow, especially since both of them are in a semi-permanent drunken state. Judging by the animosity between Winter and Qrow, I'm guessing that they either had a relationship or will have a relationship.

By the way, I heard a few interesting Legend of Zelda news. Apparently, Hyrule Warriors is coming to the 3DS, and they have a new character- Linkle, Link's female counterpart. Personally, I like the idea, just not the name. Also, Twilight Princess HD is coming to Wii U. I think I might finally get one now, lol.

I don't own RWBY or Sonic. Enjoy!

Ogygia, 2:30 p.m. Vale Time

"Well… the moon looks pretty bleak from up here," commented Sonic.

The Ogygia skimmed over the surface of the moon, homing in on the energy signature emitted by the Chaos Emerald. Koki, piloting the ship with Aeromi's assistance, looked back at the hedgehog with his mismatched eyes. "What did you expect? Those Arachnids aren't going to be on the surface all the time."

Amara glanced at him. "'Arachnids'?"

"Why not? They gotta have an official name. The scientists back home will never go with the name 'Bugs'. They have to make the name as complicated as possible to make them sound smarter."

"Who, the Grimm or the scientists?" quipped Tails.

"Maybe both," answered Koki, chuckling at the small joke.

Ruby cleared her throat. "I hate to interrupt, but why aren't you guys excited that we're ON THE MOON?!"

"Do we need to remind you about the giant Grimm bugs?" asked Blake.

"Arachnids!" corrected Koki.

"But we're, like, among the first few people to be here!" Ruby persisted, ignoring him. "Don't you guys feel anything from that?"

Weiss shook her head. "Sorry, but the sensations haven't kicked in yet. Maybe when we're on the ground, I'll feel something."

"I, for one, feel excited!" shouted Yang. The blonde thrillseeker was in heaven right now. She always wanted to have a lot of crazy adventures, and this one would certainly qualify.

Shadow glanced out a window, then turned to the crew. "Let's land here." He pulled up a map of the moon and tapped a location, marking the map for the pilots.

Aeromi checked the surroundings. "No obstructions within 100 meters, level ground, and we're within walking distance to the Emerald. It's as perfect as it's going to get."

Tails nodded and flipped a few switches, and the Ogygia slowed down as the power to the engines tapered off. The front thrusters fired off, slowing them even more. The landing gear was lowered as the ship slowly descended, landing softly on the lunar surface. "Touchdown. Better contact the Headmaster and tell him that we've landed safely."

Koki nodded and turned on the communications. "This is Ogygia, calling for Beacon Academy Control, come in Control."

While Koki was contacting Beacon, Amara passed the Mobians a small collar. "Put these on your throat. You may be able to live in a vacuum, but I don't think we'll be able to hear you. These throat microphones should pick up what you're saying and allow us to hear what you're saying."

Shadow nodded as he attached his microphone. "Good call."

"We're receiving you, Ogygia," answered the voice of Ozpin. "What's your mission status?"

"We've successfully landed on the moon. We will begin the retrieval mission shortly." Koki gazed at the lunar landscape. "Anybody want souvenirs while we're here?"

"The only souvenir we should be focused on is the Chaos Emerald," Shadow said harshly. "All other concerns should be secondary."

Ozpin, hearing what Shadow said, coughed lightly. "Though the delivery needs work, he does make a good point. That being said, the Ogygia can carry up to 400 pounds if you feel the need to leave the Spider Droids behind. Also, the general has a special request."

"What is it?" asked Sonic, getting a little anxious from being in an enclosed ship for a long period of time.

Ozpin's tone was somber. "He wants you to bring the badges of his former crew home."

The crew of the Ogygia stood in an uncomfortable silence for a few seconds. "In that case, putting Ironwood's ghosts to rest should be our second priority, but no less important," said Amara.

"We'll make it happen, Professor," promised Ruby. The others agreed with the request.

"Excellent, I know the General will be at ease. Good luck. Oh, before I forget, there's something I needed to talk to Miss Schnee about."

"What is it, Professor?" asked Weiss, getting close to the radio so she could be heard better.

"Your sister called earlier, asking where you were."

The heiress's face turned pale, which in retrospect was pretty impressive. "Winter? What did she want?"

"She just wanted to know where you were, and why you've never contacted her or your father."

"I don't believe this…" Weiss shook her head aggravated. "Well, I can't really talk right now, obviously. Tell her that I'll contact her later."

"I'm afraid that isn't an option, dear sister," a female voice full of authority replied from the radio.

Weiss paled even more, her face matching her suit. "Winter?! Professor, why'd you allow her to contact me?! This isn't a great time for this!"

"I apologize, Miss Schnee. Your sister was very… persuasive."

The other voice, now identified as Weiss's sister Winter, cleared her throat. "Let's not go into the details. How about you tell me what you've been doing with those miscreants?"

"The who?" asked Ruby.

"If you're referring to MY FRIENDS," Weiss ground out irritably, "We've been helping to make Remnant a better place. That's my duty as a Huntress."

"Oh, really? You mean galavanting off with… animals? It's bad enough that you're going to a school that accepts Faunus, but this is too much. Our father is not happy about this at all."

"When is he ever?" retorted the younger Schnee. She turned to the others, her face now red from embarrassment. "Guys, I'm really sorry about this."

Sonic shrugged. "Meh, at least insults don't shoot at us. I will admit, I was expecting a reaction like this from someone a lot sooner."

"You'll be taking up the responsibility of the company, Weiss," continued Winter, ignoring the hedgehog. "You can't risk your life for subhumans!"

Silver flinched and held his chest as if he was shot. "Ouch! I felt that one!"

The Schnee sisters continued this back and forth argument for about five minutes until Amara, getting bored from listening to the conversation, glanced at the radar. Her eyes widened. "Enemy contact, 11 o'clock!"

Winter stopped mid-rant. "What was that? 'Enemy contact?!' Weiss, what are you doing?!"

"My job. Sorry, Winter, this is more important! I'll see you when I get back, bye!" Weiss quickly turned the radio off.

"Chaos, I thought she would never shut up," groaned Shadow as he took out Crimson Dusk and put a round in the firing chamber. The others readied their own weapons. "What have we got, Tails?"

"It's a group of 20 Arachnids. Probably a scouting party." The kitsune pulled up a camera feed and zoomed in on the approaching Grimm. "About 500 meters away and closing."

Sonic took out his swords, Cobalt Shard on his right hand and King Mogar's diamond sword on his left. "Well, they were kind enough to send us a greeting. Let's not keep our hosts waiting."

The girls put on their helmets and walked to the airlock. "It's a shame that our first steps on the moon are into battle," said Blake.

Ruby loaded a round into Crescent Rose. "Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way."

"The gravity here is one-sixth that of Remnant, so we'll be floating around quite a bit," cautioned Weiss.

"400 meters. Better get out there."

Team RWBY and the hedgehogs took Tails' advice and made their way to the airlock. The inside door closed, and a red light in front of the outer door started blinking red. "Equalizing interior pressure with exterior atmosphere," reported Aeromi. "Like there even IS an atmosphere."

"That just means there's none of that pesky air to get in the way of my punches!" whooped Yang.

"300 meters and closing. Pressure has been equalized. Opening outer hatch." The light on the door blinked green, and it opened up to an alien landscape. The light gray surface was littered with small craters made from meteorites, and it was a very surreal feeling for Ruby to look up and see her home planet.

Sonic nudged her. "Save the daydreaming for later, Ruby!" he shouted, his coming through clearly despite the vacuum. "Those Grimm are getting closer!"

"150 meters. Should have a visual on them soon," reported Aeromi through the suit radios.

A screech drew their attention to a large crater, where the first of the Arachnids appeared. It snapped its jaws and skittered towards them, followed by nineteen more of its kind.

Ruby shifted Crescent Rose to sniper rifle form. "Time to see if these things can be killed!" She aimed at the leader of the swarm and fired. The bullet, unimpeded by air in the vacuum, sped to the Grimm at a faster velocity than usual. Not only did it kill the Arachnid in a spectacular manner, it also killed four Grimm behind it.

"Whoa…" The young girl gazed at her weapon. "I only meant to kill one, not five!"

"That's great, but can you get the others?" asked Shadow testily.

She nodded and fired again, killing another five with one bullet. The remaining ten Arachnids realized the obvious error of straight lines and scattered into two groups of five.

"Nice job, Ruby." Sonic grinned as he took out his swords. "Now it's my turn." He sped off towards one group, the reduced gravity barely slowing him down. The hedgehog jumped up about 20 feet, then reversed the grip on one of his swords as he held one in front and the other behind. He then spun around quickly, turning into a deadly top. He slashed through the Grimm easily, landing behind them as their bodies fell to the ground and started dissolving. "Piece of cake!"

"Whatever. Quit showing off, Faker." Shadow aimed at the other group with Crimson Dusk and fired, killing an Arachnid. The others fired their weapons, making short work of the Grimm.

"Well, that was interesting," said Yang. "I kinda wish that we had more of a role, though."

Weiss turned her faceplate to the blonde girl. "Unfortunately, I've got a feeling that all of us will have to fight soon. This was just a probe."

Movement caught Silver's eye as he turned to the Ogygia. The central hatch opened up, and the two huge Spider Droids walked out of the cargo bay. "Um, how come those weren't brought out sooner?"

Amara's voice answered over the radio. "Because the cargo bay took a long time to empty of air, and we needed to recapture as much of it as we could. The oxygen recycler can only do so much."

The hedgehog shrugged. "Fair point."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time up here," said Blake. "We need to get that Chaos Emerald."

Tails' voice became heard over the radio. "I'll stay here and provide logistical support with Koki and Amara. If you guys run into trouble, they can be there with the Paladins quickly."

"Affirmative," droned Omega. "Let us make haste. Sensor readings indicate that our arrival has not gone unnoticed."

What an understatement that would turn out to be.

In case you're wondering, yes, Sonic totally pulled off a move made by Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan. And bullets fired in a vacuum really do go faster. The Mythbusters tested it, and it was confirmed.

Anyways, the next update will be on my Zelda story since I've REALLY put it off for too long. However, for the next chapter of this story, I might finally have all of Team SSSN. I can't believe that Gavin Free is Scarlet.

By the way, shoutout to Noitaerc, who made the 300th review of this story! WOO! I can't believe I would get this many reviews with most of them positive. You guys are amazing!

Like? Dislike? Leave me a review! Thanks for reading!
