Beacon Academy was quiet, sunlight pouring through the hall windows as Teams RWBY and JNPR wandered the corridors together. Everything felt normal—at least until Nora spotted a tiny spider skittering across the wall.

Nora: “NOT ON MY WATCH!” she shouted, leaping forward and slamming her hammer straight into the stone.

Ren: “Nora, don't!-”

But it was too late, The wall cracked… then slid open with a deep mechanical grind. A hidden passage revealed itself.

Yang: blinked “Uh… Nora? Did you just unlock a secret dungeon by trying to kill a bug?”

Nora:. beamed “I have many talents.”

Curiosity beat caution, and the eight students stepped inside. The passage led to a vast chamber filled with rows of empty seats facing a massive projector screen. Everything was spotless, untouched, almost waiting for someone.

Ruby: Eyes sparkled “Ooooh… this place looks important!”

Blake: Crossed her arms. “Or dangerous. This is… not on any Beacon map.”

Yang: whistled “It’s like a mini-theater. For who? Ghost students?”

Jaune: stepped closer to the projector console. “Why would Beacon have something like—”

Before he finished, footsteps approached briskly behind them. Glynda entered first, taking the eight students by surprise as they froze

Glynda: “What in the world are you children doing in a sealed wing of the school?” Her glare softened only slightly as she scanned the strange room. “This… shouldn’t be here.”

Ozpin followed, adjusting his glasses. Ozpin: “Fascinating. I was unaware Beacon held such a chamber.”

Weiss: “Professor, what exactly is this place?”

Ozpin: “That is the concerning part, Miss Schnee. I do not recall any such room existing beneath Beacon.”

Glynda: crossed her arms. “And yet it clearly does. Sadly we don't know anything about it either."

Jeanne: “Sir, I think.... you need to read this-” He handed the paper he found near the projector. As Ozpin read it.

Glynda: “... What does it say?”

Note– “This projector is not bound by one world. It can display anything—shows, films, memories, even futures. Beyond that: alternate realities, different timelines, entire universes that exist outside your own.”

Everyone grew silent for a moment*

Weiss: "This.... Just sounds Bizarred and impossible!"

Yang: "Hold on, there are other realities..... Cool!!!"

Ruby: “This is so cool! Look! Buttons!”

Weiss “Ruby, don’t push—”

“But she already clicked it, The projector hummed loudly, lighting up.*

Blake: Sigh “Just great, what now?”

Nora: grinned “This is awesome! Maybe there is a pancake-verse!” Ren just sighed.

Ozpin looked toward the great screen, expression unreadable.

Ozpin: “It appears, students… that Beacon is harboring a mystery far older than any of us realized. Let's watch…..”

After a few more back and forth, everyone took their seats and all gaze forwards towards the large screen, and prepared themselves for what would happen next.
