Watching the Multiversal Theater

Gathering the Audience

Beacon Academy

It was a bright, sunny, Saturday afternoon at Beacon Academy in the city of Vale.

Most of the Huntsmen and Huntress students and staff were enjoying their day off. Come Monday, the Vytal Festival would officially begin.

Ruby Rose kicked her dorm door open. "I'M BORED!" she shouted before turning to her partner and BFF, no matter what she said otherwise, Weiss Schnee. "Entertain me." she commanded.

"I'm busy studying, Ruby," Weiss said, not looking up from her desk. Ruby looked down sadly before turning her gaze to her sister's partner, Blake Belladonna. The black haired Cat Faunus in disguise was reading a questionable book on her bed.

"Blake, entertain me." Ruby said. In response, Blake reached to the book shelf next to her and held out a book. "Nooo," Ruby whined. She turned to her sister Yang Xiao Long who was doing push ups on the floor. Before she could say anything, her Scroll buzzed. Followed by everyone else's Scrolls buzzing.

Ruby pulled hers out first. "Hey, guys, what does it mean by do you want to watch the Multiverse, yes or no?" she asked after reading the text.

Weiss and the rest of Team RWBY pulled their scrolls out and saw the same text that Ruby got.

Across the hall, Team JNPR were receiving the same message. As did Teams CFVY, SSSN and CNEM were receiving anonymous calls and Professors Goodwitch, Port, Dr. Oobleck and Headmasters Ozpin and Ironwood.

Fox Alistair handed his Scroll to Yatsuhashi Daichi since he was blind.

Atlas,

Winter Schnee, Willow Schnee, Whitley Schnee, Jacques Schnee and Klein Sieben's Scrolls buzzed all at once. The same happened with the Ace-Ops and Robyn Hill.

One year in the future. . .

Oscar laid on his back on the floor of his cell in the Grimm Whale Monstra. His chest burned in agony from the beam Salem hit him with and the punches and kicks given by Hazel Rainart.

"Oz, are you there?" he asked quietly. Yes, I'm here, Oscar. Ozpin said in Oscar's head reassuringly. I never left since this morning.

Oscar chuckled drily. "Has it really been that long?" he asked before coughing. He wiped his mouth and felt something wet on the back of his hand. He looked at his hand and saw blood.

"That's not a good sign," he remarked with a wheeze. No, definitely not. Ozpin said in agreement. As Oscar laid his head back, he saw a Scroll buzzing on the ground next to him. "Huh?" he exclaimed, sitting up in surprise only to immediately regret it. Gritting his teeth, he reached over to grab it. He opened it up and saw a message on it. "What?"

Saphron Cotta-Arc lightly sang a song to her son Adrian while her wife, Terra was washing the dishes. Adrian giggled in amusement before Terra's Scroll buzzed. Terra sighed. "Could you get that, Saph?" she asked.

"Sure, Ter," Saphron replied and picked the Scroll up from the counter. She furrowed her brow in confusion. Adrian cooed in confusion.

"Watts, did you send this message to us?" Salem asked the scientist sitting at the table with her, Hazel and Tyrian Callows.
