Disclaimer: Sonic goes to SEGA and RWBY goes to Rooster Teeth and Monty Oum!
The scene shows the fairgrounds in chaos as civilians run away from the hordes of Grimm. Atlesian Knight-200s are seen firing at the dark creatures, and a vendor hides behind his booth when a group of Ursai run past. Blake Belladonna, Tails Prower-Uzumaki, Shadow Donovan, and Weiss Schnee are then shown watching in horror of everything going on around them. Civilians continue to flee as Grimm continue to run amok, and a dead Creep on the ground starts to dissipate.
Weiss' eyes widened in fear. "I don't believe this…"
Blake pulled out her scroll. "Yang. Knuckles. Are you two okay?"
With Knuckles Geb and Yang Xiao Long running in the hallways of the dorms with Zwei.
"I'm fine. Is Ruby and Sonic with you? She's not answering her Scroll." The Buxom Blond said in worry.
"No. Yang, I'm sure they're fine. She's our leader, Sonic is the boys' leader. She can take care of herself, so can Sonic." Blake said from her Scroll.
Yang closes her eyes and curls her fist into a ball. "Right."
"Yang. Let's kick some ass!" Knuckles said spinning his sais.
Yang smirks and nods as they continues forward with Zwei and turns the next corner of the hallways. With Blake, Tails, Shadow, and Weiss at the fairgrounds.
"This can't be happening." The Ice Queen pauses for a moment remembering a certain android. "Penny…"
"Me and Knuckles are headed to the docks near the courtyard. The White Fang are releasing Grimm into the school!" Yang said through Blake's scroll which made four eye's widen in shock.
Blake looked alarmed. "The White Fang is here!?" Then through her scroll, Blake hears the sounds of Grimm growling, and her expression grows ever more worried. "Yang!"
"Ugh! Gotta go! Be careful!" The transmission ends.
"Blake, what are we going to do?" Weiss asked her.
"We're going to the docks, and we're doing our job." Shadow said unsheathing Arondight but then he felt something powerful as he clutched his chest. "Gah! D-Damn!"
Tails clutched his stomach as he pants and feels an excruciating pain at where his stomach was. "W-What as that?!"
Then his question answered as a large dome of darkness loomed over them and the light of the moon was cut off as they saw nothing but darkness. Then the black energy bursts into a pillar shot to the heavens as the dome receded and the pillar disappeared. The four looked like that they seen a ghost after what happened, Shadow stood up glancing at the pillar of black energy in horror as he realized this feeling.
"T-This feeling… I-It feels familiar…" His eyes widened more as it was clear to him.
"It's the same darkness that warped my mind when I met Sonic and his friends! But this felt stronger! But who is emanating it? Could it be?" Shadow thought as he balled his fist.
"W-What was that?! So much negative energy!" The Faunus/Jinchuuriki Hybrid said in shock.
"What in Oum's name was that?!" Weiss cried trying to stand from the temporarily eclipsed darkness.
"Get it together! Silver and Blaze warned us, now all that we can do is protect the citizens! Now, let's move!" Shadow said seriously glancing at the pillar. "Weiss, you're with me! Tails go with Blake! Like Sonic said to us, watch each other's backs! Move!"
Blake uses her scroll to call upon her rocket locker, which lands behind her and opens up to reveal Gambol Shroud and Tails unsheathed his Kaminari no Seiken (Regime of Thunder), Weiss gives one last look at Blake and Tails before nodding in agreement.
Back at Amity Colosseum, the Nevermore screeches as it continues to weaken the force field that's keeping it from getting in. As civilians run past her in a panic, Ruby Rose stays kneeling on the ground with her eyes glancing at the figure of darkness who was her beloved lover. Sonic Maruti. She couldn't move as her eyes saw the loving and caring boy turn into a dark and malicious monster, then she gasped as the being Dark Super Sonic glanced at her, from all that has happened, she fainted. As the Nevermore circles around the Colosseum, Pyrrha Nikos struggles to stand as she looks in shock at the torn apart Penny Polendina and then freezes in fear at the sight of the dark figure.
Jaune who was in the stands with the remaining members of Team JNPR. "PYRRHA! Pyrrha, that thing's going to break in! You've gotta move!" But then he didn't notice her terrified expression.
Jaune, Ren, and Nora look up and see the force field flash as the Nevermore rises back up before diving back in. Wasting no time, the leader of Team JNPR jumps from the stands into the arena.
"Jaune!" Nora cried to her leader.
Jaune ran towards Pyrrha. "Pyrrha, please snap out of it!"
Suddenly, the Nevermore completely breaks through the holographic barrier, and the force of it landing on the arena floor knocks back Jaune, Pyrrha, and the pieces of Penny. The Nevermore screeches and lunges towards Pyrrha. Suddenly, the Nevermore is beheaded by a black blur in a flash
Pyrrha couldn't breath seeing face of the dark figure. Her green irises shrank seeing the shape of Dark Super Sonic. "S-Sonic?!"
Jaune looked at Pyrrha like she grew two heads. "That's Sonic?!"
Dark Super Sonic glances at Ruby's unconscious figure. He points to her body. "You four… Take her out of here…" The dark powered Faunus looked up.
The lockers then open up, revealing the weapons of various students, including Crocea Mors, StormFlower, Magnhild, and Yatsuhashi Daichi's large sword. The respective owner of the sword pulls it out from his locker, and is shown alongside Scarlet David gripping his cutlass and flintlock pistol, Sage Ayana with his own sword, and Neptune Vasilias with his gun in hand. The camera continues to pan over showing Sun Wukong with Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang in its staff form, Ren and Nora carrying their respective weapons, and the remaining members of Team CFVY, the members of Team ABRN, as well as Flynt Coal and Neon Katt of Team FNKI, all gripping their respective weapons as they came into the scene in awe and some were in fear of Dark Super Sonic appearance.
"Who is that?! He looks scary as hell!" Neptune asked in horror.
"Pyrrha said that was Sonic! I am still in disbelief that is him!" The Blond Knight said looking at the Dark Faunus.
"It's my fault! I didn't mean to d-do it!" The Red Gladiator Girl sobbed in her hands.
Jaune took a knee as he placed his hands on Pyrrha's shoulders. "It's not your fault Pyrrha. The person who started this is the one responsible! We'll save Beacon! We'll do it together, and you got the others to help you. Now… Will you join us?" He gave her his hand.
She takes it as Pyrrha stands back up and takes her weapons back from Jaune, the two of them exchanging determined expressions. Their moment is cut short when they notice hippogriff-like Grimm land on top of the colosseum. They fly towards the group of students as Ren calls the Grimm species out by their formal name.
"Griffons." Ren said appearing back from getting Ruby to a safe place.
Neptune looked at everyone. "Anybody got a plan of attack?"
-Music: Confession (What's Inside My Head) (Red)-
As the Griffons came down at the students, Dark Super Sonic's black aura formed as he rose his hand forming a black ball of energy.
"Jeneshisugasuto arashi(Genesis Gust Storm)." Dark Super Sonic muttered.
As all the students leave, Coco gets distracted by the flash of Velvet Scarlatina's camera. She stops to look at the photograph she took but is interrupted when her leader calls out to her.
"Velvet!"
With the students clear of the arena, a loud roar shook the air as everything silenced as a black dragon shot from the stadium killing the Griffons. Then the attack tore one of Eggman's flag ships in half in a large explosion as the students and even Cinder Fall watched in marvelous surprise. She glanced at Mercury and Emerald who nodded running towards the stadium.
Silver eyes that belonged to Ruby opened as she saw the starless night sky but then seen everything red as she sees a red full moon. She sat up looking around that is laying on a bench; then saw her Crescent Rose. She grabbed it as the young girl turned into a blur as flurry of roses appeared in her wake.
"I got to find Sonic… I gotta save him!" Ruby said in determination. Her eyes glowed slightly.
Civilians continue to run and flee in panic as they reach the docking bays of the Colosseum. Atlas Soldiers are seen directing civilians to calmly step into the Air Buses. A female student is seen breaking down in tears as another person tries to comfort her. Suddenly, White Fang Bullheads are seen dropping off more Grimm at the docking bay. Two Atlesian Knights escorting General James Ironwood effortlessly gun down an Ursa. As they proceed forward, the Knights are suddenly brutally ripped apart by a much larger, armored Beowolf variant. The Beowolf then notices Ironwood as the General starts to run towards it, gradually picking up speed as he nears the charging Beowolf. He gives a scream of effort as he pulls out his revolver from his coat. Ironwood ducks and slides under the Beowolf's swipe and shoots at it a couple times. The Beowolf then charges at Ironwood again, who fires his revolver a few more times before having to duck under another swipe. The Beowolf attempts to swipe at him again with its left claw, but Ironwood effortlessly stops it with his own right hand. The General then fires at the Beowolf's feet, the explosion causing it to get airborne, and still gripping it's claw, Ironwood proceeds to swing it back down to the ground with his own brute strength. Ironwood then picks up the Beowolf, aims the revolver at its skull, and shoots it, causing black blood to splatter from it. Ironwood then watches the body of the Beowolf dissipate before leaving. The students are then shown exiting the arena entrance and gather together in front of Ironwood.
Ruby ran into the scene. "What's going on!?"
"Grimm are crawling all over the city. The White Fang's invaded Beacon, and to make matters worse, some... vagabond has seized one of my ships. Until we regain command, the skies are out of our control. So I'm…" Ironwood is interrupted by a sneak attack from a Creep, which is swiftly dealt with from a bullet to its head. "...going to take it back."
"What shall we do?" Jaune asked looking at Ironwood for the answer.
As Ironwood turns for his ship, he is stopped when Jaune asked the question. "You have two choices. Defend your Kingdom and your school... or save yourselves. No one will fault you if you 's move out!"
"Wait! Ironwood sir! L-Leave Sonic to me…" Ruby said sternly as everyone looked at her.
"Are you mad Red?! Sonic turned into this black monster and… S-Stuff! How can you handle him?!" Sun asked Ruby in shock.
Ruby looked at Sun with a fierce expression which made him back off. "I got to stop him! B-Because… I love him! He needs me! I'll do whatever it takes to save him, he's a part of me and I'm a part of him! I'll never abandon Sonic. He's in pain, I'm in pain. Now he saved me a bunch of times, but now it is my turn." Her silver eyes glowed slightly in the dark of her hood.
As Ironwood smiles as he leaves, the students look at each other and murmur before a certain monkey Faunus speaks up.
"I mean... come on!" The Monkey Faunus groaned in annoyance.
"We can take a ship to Beacon!" Jaune said in a firm tone.
While the students head to the nearest airship, Roman Torchwick is seen giddily fidgeting around with the controls of the Atlesian Airship, callsign "Blue-2", like a child in a candy store.
"Hmm... let's see, what does... this button do?" Roman pressed the button, the airship suddenly empties its cargo of Atlesian Knights, all on standby, as they fall to the ground with a massive thud. "Hm. Alright, nothing."
Neopolitan, still wearing her Atlesian military disguise, hands Roman a Scroll with the Black Queen insignia, as he inserts it in the console.
"Oh-ho-ho! Now this one, this one's gonna be fun!" Roman grinned.
As a squadron of Knights shoot down Grimm, they suddenly stop as their visors and LEDs turn a dark crimson, and turn around, pointing their guns at Glynda Goodwitch and Qrow Branwen as they continue to fight the Grimm, the realization shocking them as they see the Knights now turned against two of their now former masters.
Goodwitch grits her teeth in frustration. "What!?"
On the courtyards of Beacon, Weiss and Shadow are nearly caught off-guard by the local Knights also succumbing to the virus and turning towards them, forcing the duo to duck from the volley of fire.
"Look out Weiss!" The Black Knight cried.
The two manage to dodge incoming fire, but the Knights surround them, forcing the Schnee and the Faunus to draw their weapons. Meanwhile, the oblivious general, still en route to the Airship, gets a nasty surprise when the Knights on his dropship suddenly activate and turn on him.
"No!" The General cried in horror.
As Ironwood reaches out, the dropship suddenly loses altitude, plummeting from the ground as two flashes can be seen from the cockpit. The students watch in horror as they see dropship fall from the sky. Ruby decides to run to the bay doors of their Air Bus.
-Music Ends-
Sun reaches his hand out to her. "Ruby! What are you doing!?"
"Don't worry Sonic… I'm on my way to save you!" Ruby thought as she looked at her dark and violent boyfriend.
Ruby then jumps off the Air Bus as it barely takes off, using her Semblance of speed to safely land on the runway after freefalling in the sky. As she runs to the stadium, she finds it nearly empty and full of brown dirt, where she sees a locker. She punches in the code, latches on with Crescent Rose, and immediately takes to the skies, landing on top Roman's stolen airship with a thud.
"Ugh... go see what that is." Roman said to Neo in irritation till a screen appeared with Eggman's face on it. "Hey Doc! About time I've seen you!"
"That Ruby brat is heading your way! Make her suffer along with Sonic!" The Mad Scientist said with a evil grin.
Neo simply nods at Eggman's command, and leaves the control room.
-Music: Edge of the Earth (30 Seconds to Mars)-
Back at Beacon, the hacked Knights continue to fire, but they are cut up by flurry of slashes. Weiss is seen taking down a few knights using a combination of Myrtenaster's strikes as well as her using her Glyph Semblance, while Shadow fights off a group of White Fang soldiers, before using his Semblance to destroy a dual sword-wielding soldier before getting overwhelmed by more White Fang members, but they are all suddenly knocked back by Weiss. Afterwards, Weiss and Shadow stand back-to-back, but notice a group of human Atlas Soldiers fighting off an Atlesian Paladin, which has also been affected by the virus and turned rogue. The Paladin easily beats down the soldiers.
Weiss groaned. "Come on!"
Before Weiss and Shadow could assist the soldiers, they notice a Bullhead about to crash land. An armored Beowolf is seen jumping out of it before it could crash with the aircraft. The Beowolf lands on the ground and starts to chase after fleeing civilians. Weiss and Shadow exchange one last look with each other before parting ways.
"Be safe." Weiss thought as she charges forward.
Tails and Blake is seen running just outside the dining hall. However, she stops when the Beowolf from earlier latches onto the side of the building above her. Her attention is then drawn away from the Beowolf when Tails slayed it, then they hear a wounded scream inside the burning interior of the dining hall. She then gives a look of horror when she sees a familiar figure throw an Atlas soldier.
Blake shook her head. "No... Adam?"
Adam grinned creepily. "Hello, my darling."
Tails looked at her terror stricken face. He remembered what Blake said back at Mount Glenn. "This is Adam… Blake's mentor. I'm scared and yet excited to fight him but he looks like he can kill an army with one slash… I got to make no mistakes around him." He thought as he looked at Adam as he stood in front of her with his sword in hand.
All across Beacon Academy, various students battle the many Creatures of Grimm: Jaune is seen slashing at an Ursa, while Neon rollerblades away from a Boarbatusk. Coco opens fire on a Griffon, while Arslan is seen fighting an Ursa Major before it runs off to attack Nora, who fires at it with her grenade launcher. Ren is seen firing his guns at a retreating Beowolf before it drops dead. The camera then dynamically zooms under an archway before panning up a building, slowing down until it reveals Cinder Fall, Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black standing on the rooftop, the latter filming the chaos with his Scroll.
Cinder smiled in approval. "Beautiful."
Emerald had a sorrowful expression on her face. "It's almost sad."
"It's horrendous. Focus on the Atlesian Knights." Cinder mused.
Mercury grinned. "Oh, I'm getting all of it."
"Good. Continue the broadcast until the end." Cinder felt a dark presence coming towards them. Suddenly, a tremor rocks the three of them.
"CINDER FALL!" A demonic voice roared her name as she stops voyage as she turns to Dark Super Sonic with an annoyed expression.
"I'll handle him, you two keep going with the broadcast in another spot." The Evil Woman said.
The two nods as they left her as the Dark Faunus stands in front of her as his black aura simmered a bit as he lands glaring at her with his killing intent leaking out. Cinder had a dark smirk as she looks at him.
"I am impressed. I didn't know heroes like you had such a dark power, no wonder Dr. Eggman had a hard time with you Sonic Maruti." Cinder mused as a fiery aura formed around her.
Dark Super Sonic tched as he balled his fist. "You… You're the cause of all this… I'll kill you nice and slow! Your reign of terror is over when your head is removed from your body! I'll make you pay for what you did to my friends witch! Once I'm done with you, I'll kill the White Fang and Eggman! THIS ENDS NOW!" His aura exploded to life as the ground shook and expanded clashing with Cinder's fire aura as her eye glowed yellow.
Inside his office, Ozpin watches the battle on three video feeds, one showing some buildings, the middle showing a group of Atlas soldiers struggling a against a Deathstalker on Beacon's main avenue, and the last showing civilians stuck on a rooftop waving for help, while an Ursa slowly crawls up the side of the building. Ozpin then starts to walk away from his desk, grabbing his cane in the process, before proceeding to the elevator. However, he is stopped in his tracks when a sudden tremor shakes the ground. Back in the city, Glynda and Qrow continue fighting, before they too are shaken by another tremor. Qrow stabs his sword into the ground to keep himself standing.
Goodwitch's eyes widened in horror. "No…"
Another tremor shakes Jaune and Silver as they battle an Ursa Major, with Sage and Scarlet piggyback riding on it with worried expressions on their faces. Elsewhere, a mountain starts to violently shake and crumble, as various body parts of a monstrous-looking Grimm are revealed, before the mountain completely breaks apart, releasing a titanic Dragon-like Grimm. The Dragon roars and flies over the abandoned Mountain Glenn, heading towards Beacon. As it flies, it exudes a black, tar-like substance which drops to the ground in the city of Vale and spawns various Grimm. Ozpin approaches the window of his office, noticing the Dragon getting closer. The massive Grimm excretes more of the black substance, which drops to the ground and spawns more Grimm near the base of the CCT. As the Grimm charge forward, the camera pans across the members of Team SSSN and Team JNPR in a lineup as they prepare to battle the incoming enemies, with Jaune and Pyrrha exchanging a smile with each other. Before they could go forward, Pyrrha notices Ozpin standing the entrance of the tower, while Team SSSN runs off to fight off their enemies. Pyrrha then walks towards her headmaster without saying a word to her teammates, much to their confusion.
Nora rose an eyebrow in confusion. "Where's she going?"
"I'll go find out. You three stay here and keep fighting." Jaune said following Pyrrha.
Silver nods. "Protect Pyrrha! Protect her with your life!"
Jaune nods as he goes to follow Pyrrha, the camera then zooms in to a building in the background, back to the battle of Dark Super Sonic and Cinder Fall as the two were sizing each other till they charged clashing as the scene turns black.
To Be Continued…
The Evil Maiden of the Flames and the Dark Knight of the Wind clash at last…
Who will prevail…?
Who will die…?
Will the Huntsmen and Huntress liberate us to freedom…?
