What is up people of the world! Welcome back to a new chapter of RWBY WATCHES THE MULTIVERSE. Thank you all again for reading and liking my story. Next scene will continue from where we left off and then Ren (Danny) will meet Ozpin (Sam) in the antiques warehouse. So let's do this!

Chapter 5: Tuning Piano's

(In the theatre)

"Ok everyone, before I start the next scene I feel the need to inform you that one of your counterparts will be appearing but I won't say who it is, I want you to be surprised." saidEthan to the students and professors.

Curious to who it would be the two teams and teachers sat down in their seats and prepared to see either themselves or one of the others. The screen came to life and they all focused on the next scene.

"Don't you ever leave my sight again!" roared Roman in anger at Georgie who was standing guard by the car and had no idea that his boss and colleague were just beaten by thugs.

"You said stay by the car." He replied back looking confusedly at their bloody faces and clothes.

"Shut the fuck up!" was answered back.

Nora wore an amused smile at the memory of the ginger haired criminal getting beaten to a pulp, "Ha! Serves you right for what you did to Renny."

"They should have suffered more" said Jaune, who was not normally a person who enjoyed seeing others suffer but his friend (even if it was a different version of him) was raised and treated cruelly by a greedy pig of a man and the blonde knight in training would admit he felt a bit a glee at seeing Ren's 'owners' get roughed up.

"I don't believe this! He just stood there and watched them kick the crap out of us. Even a dog with half a brain would know to come his masters aid!" an angered and frustrated Roman spoke as he applied band aids to his open wounds.

Lefty, after kicking Ren into the backseat of the car while calling him a bitch noticed his boss's beaten face and says "wow boss you don't look so too good."

Looking at his subordinate in disbelief Roman could only comment "another original thinker." "So what's next?" asked the boss, referring to the next debt to collect.

"It's the antiques place," answered Georgie.

Thinking it over Roman decided to collect the debt despite his injured state but told Georgie to find a decent bar for a drink.
"Stupid dog" was his last angered comment before they drove off in search of a bar.

(30 min later)

After having a few drinks in a bar a calmer Roman and his men with Ren entered an old antiques warehouse with Roman carrying what appeared to be a red light and remote button. Turning to Ren and his men Roman started to explain the plan.

"Now I'm going try and settle this in a peaceful and professional manner" Roman explained. "If that doesn't work I'm gonna hit this button on the remote and this red light will turn on" he said while gesturing the red light in his arms. "And when that happens you're going to run through that door quicker than a field mouse in a fire, you understand?"

Ren however was focused on what was in the warehouse, piano's, and a lot of them, he had only seen a piano in his book and was curious to what they did.

Seeing his detracted state Roman frustratingly explained the plan a few more times until he was sure Ren understood the plan, after hanging the light the crime boss instructed the boy to keep looking at the light and not to move. Satisfied him and his two men left Ren alone and went to collect their debt.

Now alone Ren nervously looked around the warehouse and saw the old piano's even though he knew not to his curiosity got the better of him and he decided to inspect the musical instruments.

"Those pianos' sure are very old, I wonder if they still work?" Questioned Ruby in a curious tone.

"Of course they still work! Pianos are made from very strong materials and if they are properly maintained and tuned regularly they will last a long time" explained Weiss.

"Of course you would know about these things Weiss" said Yang.

"Well I had a piano of my own when I was younger. I am after all the only musically inclined person here" replied the ice queen with a hint of smugness in her voice.

"Well not everyone can have the voice of an angel" said Blake in monotone.

"You mean 'snow angel' hehe"

"Don't call me that! It's bad enough Arc calls me that and I don't want to hear that infernal nickname again."

"Can we please continue to watch; it would seem one of our counterparts has arrived" spoke the headmaster.

Everyone quieted down at hearing that and turned their attention to the screen.

After walking slowly towards one of the pianos Ren cautiously put one of his fingers on a key lightly pressed down and a soft *ping came from the instrument.

"It's out of tune" said Weiss after hearing the sound.

"You can tell from just that small sound?" asked Ruby in disbelief.

"Of course I can" replied Weiss, this time with a smile that was full of smugness.

(back on screen)

"Ay ay ay ay ay!" spoke a voice from the doorway that startled Ren who looked like a deer caught in headlights.

"Sounds like someone in here could use my help!" said the voice again, and when the figure came into the light it was revealed to be an elderly man with greying hair wearing a winter coat, green trousers with black dress shoes, a black tie and a hat and dark shades and finishing his look was a cup of coffee in his one hand and a cane in the other.

"Professor Ozpin!" was the surprised shouts of the students who recognized the headmaster immediately.

"So it's my counterpart who appeared, I wonder what role I will play in this," thought Ozpin to himself.

"Well Oz, it seems you'll be getting some screen time" spoke the drunk huntsman known as Qrow.

"It would seem so" replied Ozpin while taking in his 'others' appearance and quickly notice the cane he was carrying had red and white stripes on the shaft and came to the conclusion that he was blind.

Glynda, who came to the same conclusion glanced at her friend and colleague in concern and she got a reassuring nod in return.

Walking into the warehouse Ozpin called out a greeting "Hi! How you doing?" Getting no response, he went on anyway, "I'm just gonna tune these pianos, probably be a couple of hours, if you don't mind.

Ren didn't answer back and instead went back to his corner and looked back at the red light that was still off. Glancing back at the man he saw him sit down at the piano he was just at.

Sitting down Ozpin continued speaking while taking out tuning tools from his bag. "You like pianos?" (no answer) "Yeah me too" "This whole place is like a big…treasure chest. Probably gonna be whole month to get these ladies back into health." "You know tuning pianos is really hard work and my back isn't what it used to be." "Are you doing anything important right now? I could really use a hand right now, please."

Ren who was still unsure on how to answer the stranger kept silent.

"Are you still there?" asked Ozpin.

Confused at the question since he was clearly visible Ren raised his hand and waved but the old man didn't react and Ren concluded that he was blind.

"Woah hold on a minute, professor Ozpin is blind?" asked the young Rose in surprise while the others mirrored her reaction excluding Glynda and Qrow as they were more observant and noticed the on screens disability the moment he entered the warehouse.

"It would appear so miss Rose, just because I cannot see doesn't mean I cannot live normally, I've met countless people who've lost their sight or other sense and live completely normal lives, even though they do face challenges they are not helpless. Even huntsman and huntresses who cannot see or hear can still perform their duties with no problems.

(Meanwhile in a ship on its way to Atlas an elderly woman with prosthetic eyes let out a sneeze which alerted the guards who took notice of the cashews she tried to keep hidden. "Ma'am I'm afraid those are not allowed" said the guard. "Dammit so close, curse whoever talked about me and made me sneeze! It was probably Cordovin, that she-devil!")

After Ozpin finished speaking everyone looked at the headmaster with new found respect at how he spoke of those with disabilities and how they managed to keep living even though they lost part of themselves. Yang especially felt moved and for some reason clutched her arm in worry but quickly shook it off, "Ok let's get back to the scene" she said."

"You are, aren't you?" questioned the old man as sensing he wasn't alone.

Deciding to answer Ren muttered "Yes".

Happy at getting a response Ozpin invited the collard boy to sit next to him at the piano and explained that most people believed that a piano being as big as it is automatically made it strong and that they could pound on it and nothing will happen. He continued and also explained that pianos are a lot like people and that if you keep pounding on a person-.

His explanation was halted as he pressed down on a few keys and the sound produced was not good at all.

"Listen to that, sad as a baby crying" sighed the old man after hearing the out of tune melody.

"No matter what world you're in you still give sage like advice huh Oz?" chuckled Qrow.

"Of course, I'll always give advice to those who seek it" answered the headmaster while giving a meaningful glance at Ruby while remembering the advice and pep talk he gave her when she doubted her skills as a leader on the first day.

Speaking of the red rose she was remembering the same day and couldn't thank the headmaster enough in her mind for alleviating her fears and doubts and for giving her the confidence to continue her role as the leader of team RWBY. Glancing at the headmaster and seeing his gaze at herself Ruby gave a thankful nod at the man who just smiled back in return with a nod of his own, before turning back to the screen and watched further.

With his explanation complete Ozpin decided to enlist Ren's help in tuning the piano.

"I'll tell you what I want you to do now. When I say press I want you to push this key, starting with this one and going to the right, one, then two, then three. You think you can do that?" asked the blind man to the collard boy.

Nodding yes and Ozpin who felt the gesture continued his instruction, "ok, put your hand here, just like that, right here and… oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"

While placing Ren's fingers on the proper keys Ozpin could feel how stiff and tense the boy's fingers were and quickly rubbed took Ren's hands and massaged and rubbed them to loosen them up. After a minute Ren's hands finally loosened and relaxed allowing Ozpin to place his fingers on the proper keys while he went behind the piano to access the strings inside with his tuning tool.

"Ok when I say press I want you to push the key, do you understand?" asked Ozpin.

"Yes" was the quick reply"

"Alright are you ready? And press" said Ozpin.

(ping)

"A little harder"

(ping)

"Ok, and press!

(Ping)

(Press!)

"Come on! Feel it popping!"

"Press! Press! Press!)

Ren getting a little excited at pressing the keys started pressing them at random in his own rhythm which got a laugh from the blind man who stopped the boy and asked if he wanted to hear what they just did which got an eager yes from Ren.

"He really is just like a puppy!" Exclaimed Nora who found the excited Ren on screen simply adorable.

Everyone gave a light chuckle at Nora who at the moment was telling Ren to act like a puppy, while said boy could only sigh at his best friends behaviour and with the patience he built up from years of living with her he answered "maybe later" which got a pout from Nora but quickly smiled when he promised pancakes later as well.

After sitting back down in front of the piano Ozpin felt for the right keys and simultaneously pressed them down and a beautiful sound emerged.

"That the sweetest sound or what?" asked the happy old man.

"Yes" was the equally happy response.

"It truly is a beautiful sound, maybe I ask Klein to dust off the old piano and send it over so I could start playing again," thought Weiss to herself.

"Want to give it a try? Questioned Ozpin who got enthuastic nods for an answer.

Smiling to himself Ozpin directed Ren on where to place his fingers and told him to "hit it!"

While not as perfect as the previous sound, Ren's attempt still produced a lovely melody which got him smiling widely and Ozpin cheering "next stop is Carnegie Hall".

"What's Carnegie Hall?" asked Yang with her sister also looking curious at hearing the name.

As she was familiar with the topic Weiss answered "Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious venues of performing arts and only the best and most talented artists have had the privilege and honour of performing there. At one point in my life I would've loved to have the chance to sing and perform there."

"Really? What happened? Why not pursue you dream?" asked her red hooded partner.

"My priorities changed and I decided to further my career as a huntress," explained the snow themed girl but left out the one of the reasons being her father and his need to control her life.

"Well I for one am glad you decided to attend Beacon Academy instead of singing on stage, miss Schnee otherwise we would have missed a great potential huntress," praised professor Goodwitch which caused the heiress to beam in happiness before she was glomped by Ruby which would've normally caused Weiss to be annoyed decided to hug back which caused Ruby to cheer on the inside that her 'bestie' was finally returning her affections.

(back on screen)

"You know about Carnegie Hall? It's this big place in Atlas, all the great musicians want to play Carnegie Hall, I did too. When I was young it was my great ambition, but I was never a great musician."

"You were a musician Professor?" asked Pyrrha in surprise.

"There was a time when I played a few instruments, but I was never going to make a career of it." Answered Ozpin while thinking of his days playing instruments or rather one of his past lives who was a musician.

Now that they were more comfortable with each other's presence Ozpin tried to get some information about the young man next to him. "So what's your name young man?" but Ren who was still very cautious and skittish just shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"Ok, alright, alright, mister no name," was Ozpin's response who sensed the young man's uneasiness.

Deciding to make him more comfortable he introduced himself instead. "My name is Ozpin, pleased to meet you" he introduced while holding out his hand to shake.

Slowly Ren took the older man's hand into his own and shook.

"Me too."

"Good. That's good" said a pleased Ozpin while they shook hands.

"So tell me something Mr No Name, I've been hearing this sort of clicking sound? Do you here it? Or is it…."

The audience could feel their stomachs drop as they realised they were all so caught up with Ren and Ozpin's conversation that they completely forgot about the red light Ren was supposed to be watching.

"Oh no! we completely forgot about the light!" exclaimed Jaune frantically.

"This is bad; this is really bad. Roman is not going to be and he might punish the poor boy horribly," thought Glynda to herself as her worry for her student grew.

"Renny's gonna be ok, won't he?" asked Nora pleadingly and was immediately wrapped in a group hug from her team which helped calm her nerves.

"Let's watch and find out, I'm sure he'll be ok," said Jaune to while hugging his teammate and was rewarded with a shaky but determined smile from the girl, who nodded and watched as the scene continued.

As if struck by lightning Ren turned on his seat and found the light he was supposed to be watching flashing red. Ren immediately ran at full speed towards the door Roman and his men went through and when he entered he found the whole section of the warehouse damaged and broken as if a massive fight had broken out which was exactly what happened as Roman, Lefty and Georgie were bloodied and beaten as they stood over the dead bodies of the men who they were collecting from.

Roman, who noticed Ren standing in the doorway angrily screamed "I'M GONNA SELL YOU, IS WHAT I'M GONNA DO!"

Seeing his master angry, Ren could only bow his head in submission and instinctively dodge the remote thrown at him by Roman.

The scene ended and the screen faded back to black which caused a few shouts from the audience who wanted to know the fate of their friend but before things got out of hand Ethan appeared once again.

"I know you are all worried but I assure you'll know his future soon enough." This calmed everyone down but a question from Glynda stopped their host from leaving.

"Before you leave I wanted to know, why does it take so much energy for you to show us these universes? I thought a being of your calibre would be able to show us different worlds quite easily."

Seeing that her question had some good points he decided to answer, "while yes it can be easy at times to show you small pieces of a different world, showing a large piece is a different matter entirely." Seeing that his guests were still confused he continued, "allow me to explain, when I say small piece I'm referring to maybe just one or two scenes for you to view, for example if I just showed you the first scene of Ren fighting and then allow you to view a different world and show you one scene of that world and move on to the next, would not take a lot of my mystical energy but I'm showing you a larger piece of a world so you don't have questions that are left unanswered.

I want to make sure you all get as much as can from each different world you view, I hope I answered all your questions."

Glynda who was satisfied with the explanation nodded in acceptance.

"Ok time for another break and if you have more questions feel free to ask."

End.

Authors notes: Another chapter bites the dust and boy did this one take time to write. To all the fanfiction authors who have written stories with a ton of chapters as well as multiple stories, you have my respect because HOLY CRAP writing a story is so much harder than I thought! I mean I knew it wouldn't be easy but damm. You guys and girls who write well thought out stories really inspire people like me to try and put themselves out there and hope people enjoy what I've written.

Anyway I'm glad my story has been getting positive reviews so far and hope it stays that way. Sorry for the lack of action in this chapter but I really wanted to meeting of Ozpin and Ren in this scene, I promise more action next chapter and did you guys enjoy the Maria cameo? Cause I really enjoyed writing that part hehe. Just to clear things up I will be writing the full 'Unleashed' movie and then will right another with a different RWBY character as the main focus. I've already got the next one planned but would like suggestions from you guys on which movie/series etc and character to use.
