(nobody's POV)
In the vast darkness of nowhere, peaceful and silent, a door appeared and it opened revealing a middle aged Caucasian man with a tall, thin physique, pale skin, a prominent widow's peak, black hair styled in a crew cut, pale green eyes, he wears a blue-gray suit and seemingly carrying a briefcase.
Then he spoke.
???: Hello, I supposed you weren't expecting me to be here talking to you even if it is against their will... but for the sake of my time and my... "employers" I will give this proper introduction for you.
He clears his throat and begins the intro.
???: The Multiverse... an infinite branch of universes. Each with its own reality and story, beauty and dangers. But What if I tell you that there are other universes different to AUs. Now I'm sure there is confusion in your head but hear us out. What if the Multiverse does not only contain Alternate Universes but also Separate Universes. It may have "some" similarities but, the difference is that some SUs are based of your pop-culture like video games that you played and series that you watched on either traditional TVs or others like YouTube, Anime sites, or even Netflix perhaps. Remember the Multiverse has lots of possibilities. Interesting... Right? But the Multiverse is in *straightens his tie* grave danger from the hands of a unified army.
Images suddenly flashes showing armies each with their own color: White, Purple, Grey, and Golden Yellow.
???: These… people, wreak havoc across the multiverse like a disease on the human body and strikes fear on all the people who opposed them like a myth that they're afraid of. Yet manipulative like a luxurious item on a store.
???: But worry not, my "friend" knows about the threat, so he created ah... let's say an organization of people from different universes. Now they fight against this new army for the safety of the multiverse... which by the way will not end well (but that will be soon). As the war continues, a group of "unfortunate" heroes are going to be affected by this war, with one of them acquiring a device that can put the multiverse at risk shall it fall into the wrong hands.
Then Images starts flashing showing a reaper with Silver Eyes, a Catgirl with a Brown "fedora" hat, a Mythical girl with White hair, a Soldier with a Dark Grey helmet, an assassin with a White jacket, an Infected with Blood Red aura, a Squid Girl with Magenta stripes in front of her outfit, and a Guardian with a Violet shield.
???: These heroes will work together with this organization to fight this war and return home. They will face dangers and obstacles, meet new people and familiar faces, fight enemies, discover universes, and learn each other in this thrilling journey of their lives.
*he check his watch*
???: *straightens his tie* My time is up. I have to go now, this is not my story to be told.
He leaves not before fixing his tie, the door disappears making the space filled with darkness.

(Somewhere in the Multiverse).
In the middle of a hot day at a desert planet with two suns, lies a market blissful with life. People on all shapes and sizes roaming around either buying goods or trading like the small robed people with glowing eyes selling droids to others and those people with colored skins and twintails on their heads talking to one another. It IS mostly peaceful…
Until these people showed up.
A squad of soldiers wearing white and black armor were engaging an intense chase with a robed man, their primary objective was the device that the man possesses, while their secondary is that he knows the location of the rebels.
The man continued to maneuver throughout the market while avoiding near accurate blaster fire which occasionally hitting an unlucky civilian dumb enough to be in the "kill lane". He looks behind only to duck a sniper shot meant for his head.
???: *panting* 'I need to shake them off me. They must not know the location of the Redemptionist'
*blaster fire*
Trooper #1: STOP right there rebel scum!
???: 'How the hell did they manage to track me down?'
Following from behind were both the squad and the leader himself. He glances at an alien beside him and notifies.
General: You!
???: 'They must have secretly placed something on my equipment'
Alien trooper: Tag confirmation sir?
General: Yes, tag him!
The alien trooper grins, aims its weapon and fires a single red projectile that stick the targets back.
???: Crap.
The alien pulls the trigger as a stream of energy projectiles chasses the runner.
???: 'Not today'
Thankfully, with quick reflexes, he slams something to the ground deploying an energy barrier which blocks the projectiles. He then continued and made a left turn. The leader grunts and commands another trooper.
General: You, shoot him through the wall.
Another slightly bigger alien trooper who has metal visor on their head and carries an advance weapon aims through the wall then shoots at the runner. The balls of plasma energy ignored the walls and went right in front of the runner which he successfully dodges.
The general swore and called another unit through the radio.
As he runs, he tried to find the tracker on his equipment, but the constant fire of the enemy plus the adrenaline rush makes it harder for him to remove it.
General: Do you have your sights on him?
Alien sniper: Yes, any permission to engaged general?
General: Wait...
???: 'Gotta use my M.T.D to escape this mess and remove the tracker later.'
??? and General: Do it in...
Without hesitation, he starts making coordinates for the universe he's about to travel. This in turn exposes him in plain sight, making him vulnerable to a sniper that had just sets its sights on him.
Soon, he finishes making coordinates to travel in the other universe and starts counting down the same as the general.
??? and general: 3...
The sniper readies his violet and blue colored sniper rifle.
??? and general: 2...
He breathes in.
??? and general: 1...
And he is ready for the kill.
??? and general: NOW!
*In slowmo*
Then a loud energy bang was heard. By the time the squad catches up, he's gone.
General: Did you got him.
Sniper: Negative sir.
General: DAMMIT!... He got away.
Trooper #2: Shall we... find him?
General: Sure, he's still haven't removed his tracker.
Trooper #3: Why are we chasing him again sir?
General: It's because he is the only key on finding this "FUTURE" resistance. And so we can change the past of course.
Trooper #3: Okay sir.
General: Good, we must move now. As long as he had the tracker we can still find him.
Trooper: Yes, sir. Squad, move out!
The troopers starts teleporting to the next universe. The general glances at the spot where the guy disappeared and says:
General: You cannot run forever Daniel and if I get my hands on you... Your Resistance will and WILL perished.
The unknown general then disappeared in light particles.

Mistral City, Remnant 10:00 AM(Ruby's POV)
Ruby walks out of her room in their new home near Mistral. As she walks to the living room she met her other team mates: Jaune Arc, Nora Valkyrie and Lie Ren, sitting on the couch with her Uncle, Qrow Branwen. Right now, their about to visit one of the people Qrow knows, the headmaster of Haven Academy.
Jaune: Oh hey Ruby.
Nora and Ren: Hey Ruby.
Qrow Branwen: Good morning kid. So are you guys ready to go to Haven Academy?
Nora: We're ready as always
Qrow: Good, let's go.
20 minutes later.
Team JNRR and Qrow were walking in a medieval style hallway with lanterns to light up the path. It's all quiet when Qrow broke the silence.
Qrow: The City of Mistral.
Nora: Ugh! It's about time! Who's idea was it to walk again?
Ren: Well we did face many obstacles. Broken airships, destroyed settlements…
Jaune: Oh, and you know, all those people and monsters that tried to MURDER us.
Jaune emphasizes.
Ruby: Pfft! We were fine. Only one of us almost died.
Qrow: Hey.
Ren: Ey.
Nora: *giggling*
Jaune glances at Qrow and ask.
Jaune: So how much far to Haven Academy?
Qrow glances back and answers.
Qrow: Almost there. Kind of figured I'd take you kids on the scenic route.
As they stop in front of a door, Qrow steps in and opens it, engulfing them with light. After that, Ruby quickly runs out and gazes at the beautiful scenery of Mistral.
Ruby: Wooow.
Buildings on every mountain with cities bustling with people, waterfalls and huge elevators on some places. Including the very platform they're standing on.
Ruby: This. Is. AWESOME!
Qrow: Let's say me something.
Ruby: Oh my gosh, Look at all the weapons!
Qrow: Vendors here will sell you just about anything, whether they should or not.
Jaune: They really made the most out of these mountains.
Qrow: Every inch.
He continued...
Qrow: And stay away from the lower levels, but the higher up you go, the nicer it gets.
Nora: And we are going up!
She said as she points up towards the higher levels.
A few minutes later.
They finally reached Haven as they stop in front of it. The buildings exterior aesthetic looks similar to old Japanese Architectures with the main one having the logo of the Academy.
Ruby couldn't help but wipe a tear on her eye while Jaune puts his hand over her shoulder to show his relief.
Ruby: We made it.
Suddenly a man in robed clothing happens to ruin the moment by accidentally barging on the group.
Time seems to slow down for Ruby as glances at the man while falling. At first she couldn't recognize him because his hood was covering his face but as she grabbed him by the wrist to prevent her from falling, she grabbed something instead and revealed some part of his arm. Her eyes widen in surprise for it is not human, it was blocky for a human being.
Ruby: What the...
Then time went back on as Ruby and Jaune fell butts first while the man nearly tripped.
Qrow: Hey!
Qrow tried to stopped him by grabbing him from his shoulder but he quickly broke loose from his grip and ran off like there's no tomorrow, he followed him though he returned knowing he lost track of the guy.
Qrow: I lost him. You alright Ruby?
Ruby: Yeah, I'm fine uncle Qrow.
Nora: What is that?!
She asked, pointing at the device. At first it was blocky then to their surprise, it transforms into a more smoother version.
From what they could tell about the device it looks like a white gauntlet or armor piece that measures from the wrist and ends near the elbow, it has a collection of blue strips of light adorned in a futuristic style pattern that also connects to what seems to be a generator of some sorts that glows blue and has a few touch screens displays showing stats and a planet they've never seen before and other stuff.
Ren: I'm very sure that wasn't from Atlas.
Qrow: Whatever it is. It's owner is gone now. It will take days to find that guy, which we don't have. Salem is probably already making a move against us. So keep it for now. Save Haven now, search for him later. Got it.
They all nodded in agreement, so she wore it. To her amazement it automatically adjust itself to fit her arm. She smiled and continued on…
With the exception of Qrow, who glances at his surroundings for a minute getting a feeling they were being watched. When there's nobody around, he shrugged that thought thinking it was just it's imagination.
This day sure gets interesting…

Meanwhile… 1:00 PM(Somebody's POV)
In one of the abandoned storage buildings was the man from earlier, panting as he try to regain his breathing. He sits down beside a pile of crates at a hidden spot while he open his holo-inventory and grab an energy drink, he open the lid and drink until its empty. Once done, he throw the can somewhere. He sighs and closed his holo-inventory.
When he pull his left sleeve, to his horror, his M.T.D was gone. His head gone full panic mode as he tried to search the device, thinking he dropped it nearby.
???: What the hell?! I have it in my arm!
He continued to searched the building only to fail. He stopped searching and tries to remember the last time he saw it.
???: How the hell did I lose it?!
Suddenly, the image of the girl entered his mind. How didn't he realized this sooner?! He instantaneously slap his forehead from the realization. Of course, she grab him by the left arm were the device was. She probably had it still, so he still had time to get it, he just hoping that nothing bad happens to her. The worst case scenario:
She'll get captured by the enemy with her homeworld being invaded or worst.
Annihilation…
He shakes that thought off his head and quickly head off…

At their temporary shelter…2:47 PM(Ruby's POV)
After the meeting with Lionheart, Qrow went somewhere to let off steam while team JNR rest at the living room. With nothing else to do, she goes to her bedroom, she set aside her equipment except her weapon and the device and grabs her favourite comic.
While she was reading, curiosity started to fill her head as her eyes set upon the device. She tried to set it aside but her temptation starts to grow. Until finally she had no choice but to follow her curiosity.
So she grabs the device, inspecting it at first before wearing. When she touch one of the panels, a hologram of a planet appeared. The planet was way different to Remnant, it's barren and desolate with a large "crack" filled with pink energy and a complete non-fractured moon orbiting around it. There were also what seemed to be multiple spaceships floating in the background.
Ruby: Woah… Was this person an alien?
She then swiped the hologram, showing a more Remnant like planet, it has a little more water and some of the continents seems to be separated. Another panel appeared showing the information about the planet…Total population: 15,563,981,129Races: Humans.Terrain: Large-scale Cities and Forest.Seasons: Summer, Autumn, Winter and SpringPlanet Description:Aartis was the second home planet for the people after Earth was overrun by a disease and one of the planets that Humanity managed to occupy. The planet was 44% covered by cities with 38% being forest and other terrain and the rest being covered with water.Most of the people here are living a normal life with some past tech still being used like some of the vehicles and 21st Century weaponry, despite having advance technology.The planet itself was first named Kepler 187b when it was discovered by astronomers with the Kepler Telescope Satellite.
She was mesmerized by the fact that there were people that managed to achieve colonizing planets, though she's not sure how these people did it. Whoever this guy was, he sure explores stuff beyond Remnant.
Then she noticed one of the panels are blinking. The said panel, shows a digital button which were glowing blue and the words "Warp Ready" at center of it. Curiosity gets the better of her as she pushed the button, not thinking of the consequences that will happen. The events that happened next caught her off-guard as she was instantly engulfed by blue light, her loud yelp cut-off by a loud warp bang.
This wasn't go unnoticed however as Jaune, Nora and Ren also heard the noise and immediately run to her room. Once they open the door the room was nearly filled with blue sooth though none of the room were badly damaged. The only problem is her weapon, comic and Ruby herself was nowhere to be found.
Before they could respond they were interrupted by the door knocking at the living room. They quickly closed the room and head to the entrance door. Jaune opened the door only to be greeted by a young boy with a tan skin, black hair and hazel eyes and wears a dirty and scuffed white shirt that laces across the chest. The sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, and there is a pocket on the left tricep. His olive pants are held up by orange suspenders and are tucked into worn, brown boots. The pants are patched over the knee, and a quilted cloth hangs loosely out of his left pocket. His hands are covered by orange gloves, with green straps overlapping across the back of the hand in an "X" shape, and around the wrist. His neck is wrapped with a torn bandage, though it is noted to not be covering a wound.
There was silence for moment before Jaune spoke…
Jaune: Uhh... May I help you?
???: Um… yeah, is there a Ruby Rose here?
The three glances at each other, trying to find anything to say. Suddenly, Qrow appeared out of nowhere.
Qrow: I found him!
He lazily lay down on the sofa and raised his hands pointing towards the boy.
Qrow: Found him…
Jaune glances at him, asking...
Jaune: Who are you?
???: Uhh… The names Oscar Pine. You probably know me as Professor Ozpin…
Nora: Okay...
Oscar: So where's Ruby?
Jaune: Eh...
Oscar: Was she with you?
Jaune: Well yeah… but…
Qrow: Is there something wrong kids?
He questioned, having a bad feeling that something bad happened.
Ren: Well I don't know how to explain this but…
Suddenly, Nora screams…
Nora: SHE DISAPPEARED!!
Jaune and Ren cringe-ly facepalmed while Nora quickly covered her mouth. Qrow and Oscar glance at each other in disbelief so Qrow ask them…
Qrow: What do you mean, she disappeared?
Ren: Well, it's really hard to explain. You have to take a look for yourselves.
So Ren guided the two to Ruby's room. Once there, he hesitantly opened the door and the results weren't pretty…
Qrow: WHAT THE FU…
He immediately faints in shock while Oscar stares at the room in horror, thinking…
Oscar/Ozpin: This. Is bad…

Aartis, 12:00 PM(Ruby's POV)
After a few moments of seeing blue lights. It finally stop as she fell to the ground butt first.
Ruby: Ow!
It took some time for her vision to become clear, but once she do. The surroundings changed all that she could see are ruined buildings, destroyed cars and... Blood?
Ruby: Uhhh... What just... happened? Guys?
She realized that she's not in Mistral anymore. She stands up and shouts...
Ruby: Nora? Jaune? Ren? Uncle Qrow? *sigh* What have I done?

Thank you for reading :).Who will Ruby encounters next?--
In the large plains of the rice fields was a girl, 15 years in age, tan skin, blue hair, brown clothing and blue scarf. Playing the wheat as they flow with the breeze of the air.
Suddenly, she stopped in front of a stranger on blocky futuristic armor, it's glowing eyes staring at her cat ones.
The breeze of the wind flows once more in silence.
The girl took a step back, nervous, fearing of what the stranger might do. The stranger noticed this so it kneels to her height and spoke in a masculine voice…
Stranger: Don't be afraid my dear. I won't hurt you.
The girl was baffled at first but then she asked…
Girl: You won't?
Stranger: I won't.
He lift up his arm and open his "fist", a glyph formed and a ball of lightning appeared, then it transformed into a living butterfly. She was amazed by the fact this guy can perform magic, ACTUAL magic. The stranger smiles as he gently pet her head…
Stranger: Amazing isn't it?
The girl nodded in agreement…
Stranger: In fact…
He grabs one of his pocket and gives her a special gadget that was as big as half of an adults arm (wrist to elbow). He continued…
Stranger: This is is my special gift. It can make your dreams come true as you travel through worlds that you never seen before.
Girl: Really?
Stranger: Yes.
She looks hesitant at first as she glances to both him and the device, tempted.
Stranger: Come on try it.
Finally, she wears the device, to her surprise it adjust itself to fit her arm size.
Stranger: In fact you can try it right now.
Then her doubts started to enter her head, isn't she going to leave her mother in the process?
Girl: Uhh… sorry sir. I-i can't, I don't wanna leave my mother, she'll be worried.
Silence...
Stranger: Hmm… That's disappointing.
Suddenly, he tapped one of the panels and she disappeared in a blue flash. He stand up and stares at somebody. It was revealed, that "somebody" was her mother all along, crying at the loss of her daughter. She's been already behind them a few minutes ago but she can't get any close to them because they're inside a energy bubble.
Stranger: Every prophecy goes at a rough start.
A portal appeared behind him as he enters it, cackling like a madman. The portal and the energy bubble dissipates afterwards, leaving a crying mother behind…
