Author's Note: Well… I've made a crossover about Sonic already, but I don't have any RWBY stories! Time to change that!

The New Heartbeats

Chapter 1: Unknown Territory

It started off as a peaceful day in Sonic's world. Everything was normal, everybody was doing their own thing, and it seemed like nothing could go wrong. Alas, that is never the case, and as we transfer to the current hour, that point will be proven. Sonic and Knuckles were on the wings of the legendary plane, the Tornado. Tails was obviously the pilot, but he couldn't even focus correctly because Sonic and Knuckles were too busy arguing.

"You're the worst guardian ever! You lost the Master Emerald again?!" Sonic shouted, making Knuckles enraged.

"Guarding that thing is harder than it looks, you know!"

"Guys, guys! Is this really the time to argue?!" Tails exclaimed, sighing afterwards. "We just have to stay focused and get it back! Eggman might already be prepared for us coming, but it's nothing we haven't dealt with before."

Tails was speaking with logic and reasoning. This made Sonic and Knuckles look at each other, both crossing their arms with a, "Hmph." sound. Though, they wouldn't have much time to keep up their attitudes, as the Tornado was now being shot at since they were now in Eggman's territory.

"Fasten your seatbelts!" Tails told them, with Sonic and Knuckles shouting back, "We don't have seatbelts!"

Ignoring that comment, Tails would maneuver the Tornado masterfully, avoiding all of the gunshots and rockets with a variety of turns and spins.

Luckily for Sonic and Knuckles, this wasn't the first time they've been on an intense flight on the Tornado. Thinking quick on his feet, Knuckles jumped off, extending his fist so he could smash his way into Eggman's base.

"EGGMAAAAAN!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, smashing his way into the base, and started running from hallway to hallway. While doing so, he was punching the crap out of Eggman's robots, clearly being determined to get his Master Emerald back as he was trying to find the room where Eggman was at.

Not too far behind him would be Sonic, blasting inside the base at the speed of sound and ultimately decided to take an alternate route. This would prove to be beneficial for the blue blur, crashing into a room that had exactly who he wanted to see.

"Eggman!"

"Oh, ho ho ho ho! Glad you could find me, Sonic!" Eggman had a mischievous grin on his face, as Sonic could only roll his eyes. Doing this, he would also quickly analyze where the Master Emerald was, seeing that it was being held by two metal claws.

"Alright, Eggman! How about we just make this short and sweet? You can give us the Master Emerald back and we can all get on with our lives."

"I'm afraid that it won't be that simple, my arch nemesis!" Being near a control panel, Eggman started to push a lot of buttons, clearly being the only one that knows whatever combination he's putting in. It only took a few seconds for the Master Emerald to start glowing, and Eggman could now be seen having the biggest smirk on his face.

"With the Master Emerald being able to power my base, I'll be unstoppable!"

"'I've heard that more than a billion times…" Sonic muttered under his breath, this time trying to think of how he wanted to handle this.

Though, he wouldn't be the one to handle it.

As each second passed, the Master Emerald started to glow brighter and brighter, but something felt… off. In mere moments, the Master Emerald was glowing as bright as it could, chaotic looking electricity now being around it.

Eggman continued to check what was happening, and by the look on his face, this wasn't a positive development. "It's… It's not stabilizing! The energy levels are going through the roof! The base can't handle this much power!"

"Then make it stop!" Sonic shouted.

"I can't!"

Gritting his teeth, Sonic looked at the Master Emerald, and in his mind, there was only one thing he could do. He had to stop it himself, because if he doesn't do it, then who will?

Charging up, he would spindash his way to the Master Emerald, directly hitting it, but now it was like he couldn't get away from it. It was like a moth to the flame, and as his spindash kept attacking the Master Emerald, cracks could now be seen. Eggman realized what he was doing, and yelled, "Fool! You're destroying the Master Emerald!"

"Got any better ideas?!" Sonic replied, still in his spindash form, but it wouldn't be too long before the Master Emerald would violently respond to Sonic's attack. There would be huge bright lights coming from the cracks.

"What have you done?!" Eggman was shocked to see this, the light getting brighter and brighter as it covered the room.

Then, it would cover the entire base, and it would keep on growing. Knuckles looked to see what was happening, but he could recognize that type of light from anywhere.

"Here we go...again…"

Tails, who was still piloting the Tornado, his eyes were completely wide as he got ready for another Chaos Control.

XXXXX

Everything was light for a moment, but then there was darkness. Imagine going to Heaven, but then you suddenly end up blind. It was nighttime, and all that could be heard were crickets.

This was a certain someone's situation right now.

"Hey, uh, excuse me! Are you okay?"

There was a voice. It sounded young, and it made the person slightly wake up. Groaning in frustration, he held his head, looking around.

"Ugh… where am I?"

"Man, you must've been knocked out pretty hard if you forgot where you were." The girl replied, smiling.

"I guess so." He started to look around, trying to remember if he's seen this area before.

"What's your name? I don't think I've ever seen you here at Beacon before." added the girl. She had silver eyes, black neck length hair that was dark red at the tips, and her attire consisted of a long sleeved black blouse with combat boots. "My name is Ruby Rose."

The last name Rose brought back flashbacks for the male, both good and bad. Though, he would shrug it off, saying, "I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. Nice to meet you, Ruby." He gave her his signature thumbs up while saying this. Ruby giggled a bit, wondering why Sonic would call himself a hedgehog.

"Nice to meet you too, Sonic. Though, I don't know why you call yourself a hedgehog. You look nothing like one."

This made Sonic raise his eyebrow.

Wait, he has eyebrows?

"What are you talking about?"

"Okay, I'll play along with your joke, Mr. Sonic The Hedgehog." She laughed after that comment. "Even though you're clearly human. That blue spiky hair, blue shirt, blue jacket, blue pants, red shoes that apparently say SOAP on the side, and green eyes." She looked at how dumbfounded Sonic was, but didn't even notice it as she kept going.

"Man, you sure like the color blue, huh?"

All of this finally made Sonic check out things for himself. He came over to a nearby fountain and looked at his reflection in the water. You would think that Sonic had gotten the most vicious flashback anyone could have, seeing his face, his hair, his clothes, everything.

Why was he a human?

"What in the name of-"

"So, don't you have like a room? It's kinda getting late."

Sonic tried to listen to Ruby, but he was still in deep shock, his eyes being as wide as they could be. He wondered how this could possibly happen, but then past events started to play out in his mind. The last thing he remembered was spindashing into the Master Emerald.

Well, that could certainly be the leading cause.

"Hey, Sonic? You there?"

This is when he finally snapped out of it. "Oh, uh… No, I don't have a room." He tried to think quick on his feet. This was a place where he would have no clue on what's going on.

"I'm… uh…"

"Think, Sonic! Think! What did she just call this place?!"

"I'm… actually new to… Beacon… but the people haven't given me a room yet, so I'm just kinda roaming around."

Ruby looked sad for Sonic. "Really? They usually get that handled pretty quickly." She held her chin, thinking about something. "If you want a place to sleep that isn't outdoors, you can come into my room. I have a few other friends in there, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind."

Sonic was surprised at how nice this girl was. They just met and she was already offering him a place to stay for at least one night. He gave a nod and a smirk.

"Lead the way."

Afterwards, Ruby would lead Sonic to her room, opening it and seeing who was in there. There was a blonde haired girl who wasn't yet sleep, looking at the two and taking note of Sonic.

"Hey, Yang! Where's Weiss and Blake?"

"I have no idea." She gave a shrug, looking at Ruby and then at Sonic. "Who's he?"

"Oh! This is Sonic. He's new here to Beacon, but they haven't given him a room yet. From what I could tell, he's been pretty tired all day, so I said he could sleep in here." Ruby replied, looking back at Sonic.

"Sonic, meet my sister Yang."

Sonic looked up at the bed Yang was sleeping in, giving a smile and a peace sign. Yang would smile back at him.

"Nice to meet you, Yang."

"Likewise, Sonic. Welcome to Beacon. Cool name, by the way."

"Thanks." he smirked, looking over at one of the open beds and got in the sheets. He would close his eyes, soon drifting off. Ruby would soon do the same, going up to her bed and falling asleep.

Yang looked at the two trail off, her eyes now looking up at the ceiling.

"The new guy is actually kinda cute."

Those were Yang's last thoughts, before going to sleep as well.
