Act 0-4: Initiation day- Players and Pieces
In the Beacon locker room, the new students were preparing for their initiation. Jawsome didn't know what initiation involved presumably heavy combat, but it was probably here, since he knew of someone exploding by sneeze, girls wielding scythes larger than they are, and something to do with powerful stones that were not Chaos or Sol Emeralds. On the subject, he checked to make sure the Emerald he'd found was still safe. It was, and he left it in his hammerspace. Shoving the memory aside again, he checked his gear, and walked over to where Ruby and Yang were.
"So, you ready?" Yang asked Ruby.
"Yeah! Now I don't need to talk! My baby will be doing all the talking for me!" Ruby said.
"Yeah, cause we're getting teamed up today." Yang replied.
"Oh, well, can't I just be on your team?" Ruby said. Teams?
"I…. Don't believe it works that way." Yang said. Jawsome headed off, and bumped into….
"How could you not know who she is? She's won the Mistral regional tournament four times!" Weiss was on point today, it seems.
"Um, it's fine…" The fire red-haired girl behind her said. It seemed Weiss had found a new punching bag- Jaune.
"Weiss, really?" Jawsome said.
"Do you know her either?" Weiss immediatly retorted.
"No." Jawsome said. "If he doesn't know either, leave him be. Why is it so important he knows Miss…."
"Pyrrha. Pyrrha Nikos." She helpfully said.
"Pyrrha over here?" Jawsome finished.
"Ugh! I am surrounded by idiots!" Weiss went off again, thankfully away.
"I swear to Chaos, she needs to loosen up!" Jawsome said.
They were standing on a cliff. What.
"Today, you must prove your worth, and that our selection was indeed a wise one. You must make your way through this forest to the ruins in the north, retrieve the relic, and return here. On the subject of teams," Ozpin adjusted his glasses, taking a sip of… coffee? "Whoever you make eye contact with first will be your partner." To Jawsome's left, Ruby looked like she'd been hit by a truck. "They will be your partner for the rest of the year." From how she looked, the truck had backed up, driven back over, and another truck had run Ruby over. She looked like her brain had melted. "But, now I would focus on landing." Ozpin said. On cue, a student to the far left of Jawsome was launched into the sky, with the rest assuming ready poses. When Yang's turn came, she slid her new aviators on, smiled at Ruby, and launched. Ruby looked ready and terrified at the same time, she was away, and then there were two.
"Um, sir?" Jaune said, sounding like he was going to have a nervous breakdown. "What do you mean landIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG…" He had been launched midsentence. Jawsome pulled his sunglasses down over his eyes, and he was launched.
Elsewhere over the forest….
"You sure this is the right place?" Sonic the Hedgehog said.
"Positive." Miles 'Tails' Prower said. "The Tornado X-2 is picking up his energy signature ahead."
"Good." Knuckles the Echidna said. "That alternate Mobius must not be a very nice place."
"Let's not ask." Sonic said. A very large, bird-shaped shadow fell over the biplane. "Uh, who turned out the lights?" He asked, looking up…. And wished he hadn't.
Back with Jawsome….
Alright, landing. Try to lower velocity. Nope. Don't land on your head again. Right. Jawsome curled into a ball as the ground approached. He hit the ground, burrowing a ditch, slicing the lower half of a tree, and coming to rest in a clearing. As he uncurled, groaning from the landing, he noticed a black wolf-like creature. It seemed to have rocks in it's arm.
"Say, you wouldn't happen to know where the temple to the north is, would you?" Jawsome asked. It's answer was a swipe at him. Jumping back, he remarked, "Hey! If you aren't friendly, just walk away!" as he drew his Pyrobuster.
Savage Grimm- Unshakeable Gilrant
Party: Jawsome- Pyrocity
Reserve:
Jawsome ran towards it in a zigzag, attempting to throw it off, faking left and going right. It easily countered, and moved in for some attacks of it's own. Jawsome blocked it's attacks, Pyrobuster crackling with energy. Summoning a Flame Shard, he threw it. The shard hit the monster's hand, which lit on fire, though it barely phased the creature.
"Hey, maybe speed it up a bit?" Jawsome said. He still had the Emerald in case things got dicey, and it was looking so. However, it suddenly jerked back. Jawsome took the opportunity and raced in. With a nice cleaving slash, he split it neatly in half. Panting, Jawsome put his Pyrobuster up. He had to say, he expected more. Either way, he was fine with the outcome. Walking through the forest again, he saw Ruby, looking like a sad puppy.
"Ruby!" She looked up when she heard his voice, and cheered up when she saw him.
"Jawsome!"
"So, I guess you and me are partners, right?" Jawsome said, not mentioning the monster.
"Yeah, about that…" Ruby trailed off. "Did you kill a Savage Grimm?" A what?
"A Savage Whatnow?" Jawsome asked, thoroughly confused.
" A Grimm! They're everywhere outside the cities!" Ruby said. Suddenly Weiss walked up, and without losing pace grabbed Ruby's hood,
"By no means does this make us friends." She said.
"You came back!" Ruby squealed.
"Hey!" Jawsome said, zooming in front of Weiss. "I'm sorry, Ice Queen, but I was talking to her."
"So? You didn't prove yourself." Weiss retorted.
"He killed a Savage Grimm by himself!" Ruby said helpfully.
"Anyone can do that!" Weiss said.
"Fine. What's the strongest monster you can think of?" Jawsome asked, irritated.
"A Nevermore. Why?" Weiss asked.
"We'll be eating Nevermore tonight boys." Jawsome muttered as he ran off.
"Helloooooo? Anyone there?" Yang said. Seeing a bush rustle, She investigated, saying "Ruby?". She quickly jumped back, as two Ursai emerged from the brush. "You aren't Ruby…." She muttered, then asked them, "Hey, you seen a girl in a red cloak, scythe bigger than her?" She said jokingly, then, she saw it. A strand of blonde hair. "You… YOU MONSTERS!" She yelled, Semblance activating. The Ursai, looked at each other, confused, and the split second hesitation allowed Yang to hammer one with a powerful strike. The other reared up…. And flopped over. A familiar Blake popped out from behind it.
"I had them." Yang said, Semblance deactivating. "I guess we're partners now."
"I guess." Blake replied. Just then, they heard clapping. Jawsome was leaning against a tree.
"Nice. Never knew you could go Super whenever." He said.
"Super? What are you on about?" Yang asked.
"Y'know! What you just did!" Jawsome said.
"You mean my Semblance?"
"What in the NAME of Chaos is a Semblance?" He asked, and it was a serious question.
"A Semblance is a reflection of our inner selves, that manifests under certain conditions. You did know that, right?" Blake said.
"Anyway, have either of you seen a Nevermore around here?" Jawsome said.
"A Nevermore? Why?" Yang asked.
"I want to kill it." To them, it was the most casual suicide admission ever.
"Why?" Yang said so incredulously, Jawsome could've swore she was being hyperbolic.
"You know, just wanna show Weiss just what I'm made of." He winced. "I mean, what I can do. I think I'd rather stay in one piece."
"...Fine, but I'm coming." Yang said.
"Why?" Jawsome asked.
"I don't want you resting in pieces." She said.
Jawsome facepalmed, and accidentally set the bush on fire. "Whoops." He said, quickly absorbing the flame. Pyrokinesis isn't so bad when you aren't hurt by it, right?
"But we have our initiation." Blake pointed out.
"We can kill two birds with one stone." Jawsome said.
"I like that one. It's got my yang of approval!" Yang said.
"Just… stop. Please." Jawsome said. Just then, he heard a biplane, and the screams and swears of a certain blue hedgehog. Jawsome's eyes got extremely wide, and he turned towards the direction they'd been going.
"What was that?" Blake asked, in a defensive stance.
"My brother and my friends!" Jawsome yelled.
"Your what?" Yang ased. Jawsome didn't answer, as he had already run off at top speed.
With Sonic and friends….
"Tails! Get this goddamn bird off of us!" Sonic yelled, struggling to keep balance.
"I can't! It's too big!" Tails replied, the giant bird behind them still chasing after. Sonic's shoes began to slip off the Tornado X-2's wing. He lost his footing, but was barely able to hold on. "Sonic!" Tails yelled, trying to correct the plane, but his fingers were losing their grip, and then he couldn't hold on…. But he was still there.
"Just in time!" A familiar voice said. Sonic opened his eyes, closed in preparation for the fall, and saw Jawsome holding his arm. "Good to see you again!" He yelled over the wind.
"Yeah! Good timing!" Sonic yelled right back. Jawsome hauled him back up onto the plane, just in time to see the Nevermore.
"Hmmmmm…. Not a problem." He muttered. "Tails! Engage combat mode!" He called to the pilot. Looking confused, he did so, Sonic hopping on the gun, Jawsome staying above where the rotor had transformed into a jet intake. "I'll distract it with my Shards! Aim for the mouth!" Jawsome yelled back to Sonic, who nodded in affirmation. "Hey! It's good to be back together again, huh?!"
"Oh, yeah!" Sonic yelled back, as the Nevermore came around.
Boss Battle!: The Giant Nevermore
Party: Tornado X-2
Reserve:
Th Nevermore circled above them, before diving from the left. Jawsome fired a shard into it's eye, and when it let out a shriek of agony, Sonic began hammering the inside of it's mouth with the Tornado X-2's energy cannon. The energy burned the flesh inside, but the giant bird Grimm shut it's mouth and flew off. Flying roughly besides them on the right, with caws every time it did, it threw clusters of feathers ahead of them. Sonic and Jawsome destroyed them with a hailstorm of fire. As it circled around them, this time coming from the right, Jawsome threw a shard at it's wing, then another one at it's eye. In dodging the one aimed at the wing, the other shard hit it's eye again. Shrieking in pain again, Sonic shot an energy bomb, which rolled into the Nevermore's stomach, and exploded. The Grimm was very clearly showing damage, flapping erratic, occasionally dipping below their altitude, before flying high up and ahead of them.
"It's going to charge!" Sure, enough, it did. Throwing enough shards to stop it in it's tracks, the Nevermore shrieked one last time, before Sonic silenced it with the cannon. As it's corpse began to fall to the ground, Jawsome noticed a large feather, and familiar red figure trapped by it. He also noticed a giant scorpion approaching.
On the ground….
"Come on, come onnn.."Ruby muttered as her cape refused to get unstuck from the feather. She saw the Deathstalker, but her cloak wouldn't. Come. loose! As the stinger raised, she shut her eyes, heard the crackle of ice forming… and her own breathing. She opened her eyes, seeing a wall of ice, trapping the scorpion Grimm in place. In front of her was Weiss.
"I suppose, I haven't been the best teammate. But I suppose if you become more responsible, I'll be… nicer." She said.
"INCOMING!" A voice yelled from above. They looked up and saw Jawsome and a blue hedgehog who kinda looked like him, had just jumped off the odd plane thing. Shrugging her cloak off, Ruby and Weiss quickly got out of the way. As they fell, Jawsome activated his Pyrobuster, and slashed through the ice. Sonic followed up with a Slam Kick on the scorpion's head, and the two landed, in fighting stances. The Deathstalker roared, swinging it's stinger over towards the hedgehogs, who easily dodged it. Jawsome stabbed it in the eye, and quickly jumped away from it's retaliation, while Sonic cut off the stinger with his Horizontal Spin Jump. The stinger impacted on it's head. The two hedgehogs delivered one last kick, and the beast collapsed.
"Good to be back together, eh?" Sonic said.
The ruins….
Back at the ruins, everyone including two new ones Jawsome hadn't met before. One, Nora, reminded him of Amy in all the wrong ways. The other, Ren, seemed like a constantly tired version of Espio. While everyone was getting acquainted, Tails was showing Ruby the Tornado X-2, which she seemed to have taken a liking to.
"...And over there is Miles Prower, but we just call him Tails." Sonic said. The two-tailed fox waved.
"So, I guess you and me are partners then." Jawsome said to Sonic.
"What?"
"I was kinda in the middle of initiation when you flew over me being chased by that Nevermore. I win, by the way." He tossed at Weiss. "And whoever I make eye contact with who doesn't have a partner are teamed up. On the subject, where are the relics Ozpin sent us for?" He said, looking at the ruins, where chess pieces were arranged on pedestals.
"There, I guess." Yang said. The now six teams of two walked over. Ruby and Yang picked the white knight pieces, Jaune and Nora took the white rook pieces, and Jawsome and Tails, who was now partnered with Knuckles, took the white king pieces. Some pieces were missing, suggesting that other teams had beaten them there, but they hadn't experienced what they had.
"So, how are we going to get back?" Weiss asked.
"We'll take the Tornado X-2!" Tails said.
"Uh, there's only two seats." Blake said.
"You can stand on the wings." Sonic said.
"I don't think that can carry us all." Yang offered. All the Mobians began laughing.
"It may not look it, but the Tornado X-2 is so advanced, you'd swear it wasn't a biplane!" Sonic laughed.
"But it is a biplane." Ruby said. "An outdated biplane."
"Nope. You wanna see outdated? Take a look at the original Tornado sometime. It doesn't work now, but Sonic did use it way back when." Knuckles said.
"Wait. That's Sonic's plane?" Pyrrha asked.
"No, every Tornado after the original is Tails's. He just keeps mine since I never use it anymore." Sonic said. "So, let's go!"
Later…
"So, how's first-class feel?" Jawsome asked them. He was currently above the rotor, but Tails could still see due to the pilot seat being lower. Sonic and Blake were standing on the left back wing, Ruby and Yang were on the back right, Weiss and Pyrrha were to his right, and Nora and Ren to his left. Knuckles was on the firing platform. Jaune had elected to nap in the passenger seat, due to his motion sickness.
"Hey, do you have the Sol Emeralds?" Sonic asked Jawsome.
"No! I lost em when Eggface sent me here!" Jawsome called back. "What about the Chaos Emeralds?"
"No dice." Sonic shook his head.
"Sol Emeralds? Chaos Emeralds? Am I missing something?" Yang asked. Jawsome pulled out his Sol Emerald.
"This is a Sol Emerald, a gem holding near-infinite power. The Chaos Emeralds are like this, but shaped differently. There's seven of each. Collect them all, and you'd have a ridiculous amount of power!" He said. "That's where I got the whole Super thing from earlier." He said to Yang.
"Wait, you can turn Super?" Sonic asked.
"No, it's my Semblance. That's just Dust!" Yang said.
"Hold on." Jawsome said. Flipping the Emerald over, he yelled, "PYRO CONTROL!" and disappeared. Almost a second later, he reappeared right next to Yang.
"Alright, I believe you now." A spooked Yang said.
"So, now we've gotta look for both sets of Emeralds?" Knuckles said. Jawsome nodded.
"And fast. I think Eggman's here." He said. But first, let's finish this initiation chaos, huh?"
Beacon Combat Hall…
"Russel Thrush. Cardin Winchester. Dove Bronzewing. Sky Lark. You retrieved the black bishop pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team CRDL. Led by… Cardin Winchester." There was a smattering of applause as the new team left the stage, with Jaune, Nora, Pyrrha, and Ren walking onstage. "Jaune Arc. Lie. Ren. Pyrrha Nikos. Nora Valkyrie. The four of you retrieved the white rook pieces. From this day forward you will work together as Team JNPR." There was some more applause. "Led by Jaune Arc." They left the stage as Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang walked up.
"Blake Belladonna. Ruby Rose. Weiss Schnee. Yang Xiao Long. You four retrieved the white knight pieces. From this day forward, you will work together as Team RWBY. Led by Ruby Rose." More applause, and Yang squashed Ruby for a second before descending off the stage. "Lastly, our… oddest ones out, Jawsome the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles 'Tails' Prower, and Knuckles the Echidna. You retrieved the white king pieces. From now on, you will work together as Team JAKT. Led by Jawsome the Hedgehog." Jawsome grinned sheepishly as Sonic pushed him in the arm. "I get the feeling this will be an interesting year." Ozpin remarked.
Elsewhere….
A man in a white trenchcoat and a large man in a red jacket stood studying a map. Another in a gray mask and hood came in, wheeling a trolley with crates stacked on top of it.
"Do you have them?" Roman Torchwick asked. The grunt handed over a crowbar, and Roman pried open a crate. Rows of Dust crystals glowed faintly. Roman nodded and handed over a large pouch of Lien.
"You're sure this Dust will be enough to power my war machines? I'm running out of stored Chaos Energy." Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik asked Roman.
"Oh, it's enough. We have nearly all the Dust in Vale. Your robots are going to work for a long time." He said, taking a puff on his cigar.
"You won't say that when they come after you." Eggman muttered.

A Note from Jawsome:
So Act Zero is complete, meaning we can move past the tutorial crap. This is even longer than Twilight Tutorial! For me. For you, it's however fast you read. Anyway, I've included a list of character themes and music that was supposed to play at a certain point. However Fanfiction's formatting is not that good, so the link don't work, hence the list. Next, as mentioned, the party is now fully customizable, meaning crazy combinations you guys can suggest. Just allow processing and writing. Heh.
The one who keeps on… trucking, I guess?
