Intermission #1

2hrs after last chapter...


Team RWBY location: Armory


"Wow! This is place is so cool! There's a lot of different weapons Yang!" Ruby fan girls and runs around before spotting a musket in the back.


"Slow down, you dunce" Weiss says picking up a m4 from the rack.


Ruby picks up a musket and aims it towards the door.


"I wonder how this works?" Ruby asks trying to find the loading mechanism.


Suddenly a Saber clone appears.


"Its called a musket, and it loads a lot similarly to how dust is used on your prototype guns before the great war" Saber clone explains, while loading the musket with a cartridge.


"Please don't fire anything. Its hard getting the stains out, and the fires, and the explosions" the Saber clone pleads before disappearing.


"Well. That just happened..." Yang says.


"I wonder if Saber will let us use it?" Blake says twirling ninja stars on her finger.


"Yeah, let's ask later" Yang says grabbing a gauntlet from the pedestal.


"C'mon, let's go and check out the dorm rooms" Ruby says, dragging her partner with her.


"Well. They. Look good together?" Blake says before walking out of the armory with Yang.


Roman, Mercury, Emerald, and Neo location: Sauna, Second floor


"Well kids, Neo. This is the life" Roman says, kicking back.


"Meh. Not really my thing, but sure" Mercury shrugs.


"Well, I think we could do a little bit of relaxing after Cinder bosses us around all day" Roman points out, pops open a can of beer.


'Quite. We really needed a break from her and her nefarious schemes' Neo signs, and giggles.


"Well, boys we'll leave you to it, play nice." Emerald says, and leaves the sauna with Neo.


Emerald and Neo continue walking towards the door leading inside the manor, before being met by a Saber clone in a maid outfit.


"Did you both enjoy your time at the sauna, Ms. Sustrai?" The clone asked.


"Yes, it was quite relaxing best experience I've had in... Well, ever" Emerald laughs.


"That's good to hear, Miss" the clone responds politely, before opening the door inside.


"Come on, Neo I'm starving. Wonder if they have ice cream?" Emerald says, looking at the ice cream girl.


'Come on, let's go' Neo signs, before excitedly pulling Emerald to the cafeteria.


Summer Rose and Raven Branwen location: Girls Dorm


Summer lays down on the bed across from Raven, finishing up from braiding the latter's hair.


"And done. You can see it now Rae" Summer tells the dark haired bandit cheerfully.


"T-Thanks, Sum" Raven says, looking at the mirror.


Summer hums, and looks at the ceiling before speaking up.


"Ruby and Yang have grown quite well, don't you think?"


"Perhaps, but they are still too weak" Raven says, at the older Rose.


"They have grown into fine young women without us. Yang apparently, practically raised them both while Tai was still grieving. And in my opinion surviving on their own, even with Tai's help. Is plenty strong to me." Summer says to her raven haired partner.


"I guess you're right, you always are Sum." Raven admits, before getting hugged by Summer.


"I missed you, I miss our team Raven. And I'm sorry for leaving you all the way I did" Summer says, hugging her partner.


"We missed you too, so much" Raven pats her leaders head.


"Say, Rae want to catch some sleep, before dinner?" Summer asks.


"Alright, I'm not really in the mood to socialize anyways" Raven says, before laying on the bed next to her team leader before drifting off to sleep.


Taiyang and Ironwood location: Boys Dorm


Ironwood paces the room restless, trying to think of something to do.


"Would you quit, pacing around. Your throwing off my game!" Tai says, leaning forward with his controller.


"I just... Can't help worrying how we're all trapped here" Ironwood says, studying the layout of the room.


"I don't know what what your talking about, this place is paradise, I mean look unlimited pizza" Taiyang says, taking a bite off the slice.


"You know, just because this place provides for us, doesn't mean we shouldn't be worrying" Ironwood states, before sitting on the couch.


"Well. Yeah, but not like we can do anything. Plus, I can be with my family and team again, so its not so bad" Tai points out.


"But-" Ironwood tries to argue.


"But. Nothing, maybe we can finally find a way to end this conflict during our stay here"Tai assures the Atlesian general and hands him a controller.


Tai smirks and challenges him to a game.


"I'll have you know I'm a master at this." Tai boasts to Ironwood.


"We'll see." Ironwood replies and selects a character.


The two play and hang out with one another, while waiting to be called to the cafeteria.


Ozpin and Salem location: Grand Library


Salem sits down on the corner with Ozpin while reading a book about the CRSN Universe, while Ozpin watches her curiously, before a Saber clone in a guard outfit brings them tea and coffee.


"Your orders, sir" the clone says, setting down the tray on the table.


"Ah, yes thank you. But if you don't mind us asking, how big is this library?" Ozpin asks the clone politely.


"Well professor the entire library encompasses by my estimate the entire Beacon Academy dorms" The guard clone answers.


"And, how much is available for us to read?" Ozpin asks.


"As of today, the CRSN Universe and a portion of Earth's history is available for you all to browse, more will be unlocked for you once you have reacted to their universes" the clone answered.


"Thank you, dear you may go do your duties now" Salem speaks up, while she takes the cup in her hand.


The clone bids farewell and disappears, leaving Salem and Ozpin alone on the table.


"Green tea. Did you order this, Ozma?" Salem breaks the silence, drinking her tea.


"Yes. I figured you would want some, these are after all your favorite, I believe" Ozpin says looking up from his book.


"You... Remembered?" Salem says surprised at her... Husband? Ex?


"I never forgot, Salem" Ozpin smiles at her.


They both sighed, and turned back to their books in silence, seemingly forgetting their eternity long fight and centuries of animosity towards each other.


3 hours later...


Everyone location: Cafeteria


Saber looks at everyone and where they're seating. Before sitting on one of the tables.


"Ladies, Gentlemen... Ice Queen." Saber begins, earning a 'hey' from the Schnee sisters.


"I have an announcement, to all of you before you all start eating. As you know you all were brought here to react to the many universes that feature you all in it" Saber says.


"Just get on with it." Qrow groans, drinking from his newly found beer.


"There has been a slight, change of plans..." Saber continues.


"What changes?" Ozpin asks the raven haired woman.


"Well, I'm going to bring in just a few more people to join you" Saber says.


"And. Who are these people that will join us?" Summer asks.


"I... Don't know, yet. I'll know tommorow... So for now, enjoy your meals and your stay" Saber finishes with her opening remarks and leaves the room.


team RWBY, JNPR, and SSSN. All look towards each other.


"So... Who do you think those new guys will be?" Sun asks the Beacon students.


"Perhaps, someone we know?" Pyrrha suggests.


"I hope its not my father..." Weiss whispers.


"Maybe, someone from the White Fang?" Yang says.


"A family member maybe?" Jaune says, earning a few nods from team RWBY and Pyrrha.


Meanwhile, Cinder and Salem's inner circle.


"Anyone have any idea who could possibly join us later?" Cinder starts.


"Maybe, Junior and the malachite twins?" Roman suggests.


"Maybe someone from the White Fang." Emerald says, looking over to Cinder.


The group nod in agreement, except for Tyrian.


"Please, like we need anymore people already. Right my goddess?" Tyrian says, turning towards an absentminded Salem.


"Mistress? Are you all right?" Cinder asks the absentminded witch.


Surprised Salem responds "Hm? Oh, yes do whatever you want." Before standing up.


"If you're all done. I will be resting now..." Salem says before walking off.


Salem's inner circle and Cinder's allies put on a bewildered face as their leader walks away seemingly fazed.


"What. Just happened?" Roman whispers to Cinder.


"No... Idea. Hey scorpion brains, any idea?" Cinder points to Tyrian.


"Hell if I know!" Tyrian says in distress.


Saber quips into their discussion "Perhaps, she's missing a little snu snu from her dear husband~".


Everyone looks at each other, seemingly surprised before bursting out in laughter.


"HAHAHAHAH...... My Oum, that's hilarious... HAAHAHAHAHAHA" Roman wheezes, before getting smacked by Neo and Cinder.


"Funny, as it is. I highly doubt that ma'am" Watts says to Saber.


"Well. You never know, doctor." Saber says, before bidding farewell to the group.


Saber walks away towards Ozpin's group.


"Ladies and gentlemen, how are you all enjoying this evening?" Saber asks the group.


"Meh" Qrow responds taking a swig of his beer, earning a glare from Summer and Winter.


"So, being transported to another plane of existence aside. What have you all been up to?" Saber asks the group.


"Oh, you know reconnecting and all that jazz" Tai says, winking at Summer and Raven.


"Annoying Ice Queen over there" Qrow says pointing to Winter.


"Confiscating his alcohol." Winter deadpanned.


"Trying. And failing to take my alcohol" Qrow corrects Winter.


Saber goes to Ozpin and whispers into his ear.


"I gave you nad your waifu a different room, if you want to go see her early I'll cover for you... This wasn't a request by the way." Saber quietly whispers to Ozpin.


"No, I don't. I'll spends some more time here before retiring to my room." Ozpin responds.


"Meh. Suit yourself Ozzy" Saber responds and bids everyone farewell before she leaves to greet the students.


Saber walks over to team RWBY and JNPR's table and sits with them.


"Oh, hey Saber! Fo you need something?" Pyrrha asks their host.


"Not really, just making sure you're all comfortable and all that stuff hosts do" Saber says


"Eh. We we're just talking about how to improve Jaune's skills while we're here." Pyrrha replies, and  takes a bite off her food.


"If you want when you all have free time you can use the arena." Saber offers.


"Wow! Really, we can use your arena?" Nora says excitedly, while trying to scarf down her pancakes.


"Sure, its no problem." Saber says to team JNPR.


"Yow! Team RWBY, anything you want to do when we have free time?"


"Nothing right now.We do have a slight question though" Weiss answers for her team.


"What would that be ice princess?" Saber says, getting a glare from Weiss.


"Those muskets you call it? They use these black powder to operate, right?" Weiss asks.


"Yeah, what's your point?" Saber asks, and begins worrying about the armory.


"If we use dust will we get the same result as our weapons or will the gun explode" Ruby interrupts the discussion.


Saber taken aback by the sudden question composes herself, "I honestly never tried that... So to answer your question, I don't know."


"Wanna find out, my dear mysterious host?" Yang nudges the raven haired woman.


Saber laughs and uses her abilities to create a crate of assorted dust and a musket and grins at the students, "Shall we, kids?.


"Aw, heck yeah!" Coco, Ruby, Yang, and Sun exclaim raising their fists.


"Kids no playing with guns while eating!" Glynda chastises the students from across the room.


"Ye-Yes, Ms. Goodwitch" the students say to their teacher.


Ozpin pats Glynda's back and tell her, "Let it go Glynda, its not everyday you get to see an Otherworldly weapon after all".


"Fine..." Glynda grumbles at her superior.


The students try to suppress their giggles at watching professor Goodwitch and professor Ozpin.


Soon dinner quieted down and everyone decided to get some rest for today.


That night everyone finally got some decent sleep in a long while... And woke up the next day ready for what the multiverse would throw at them.


A/N: This intermission took a slightly different turn, partly because I've yet to see any reaction fics that address the fact that the characters were suddenly thrusted into a different world and suddenly seeing a few old friends and family amongst the living would kinda bring a few old wounds back, so I kinda tried to address that as best as I could.


So anyway I'll have an actual chapter up by Friday or Saturday.
They'll reacting to the scene in Cromwell (1970) where King Charles storms parliament.


So that all guys, have a nice day/evening/night.
