Anastasia Part 2
10 years later, we see Oscar and Peter Port. Then we meet the amnesia Ruby Rose who goes by the name Rena.
Disclaimers: I own nothing
"Now we move 10 years later, the Rose or Xiao Long Kingdom is still under the control of the CIS", Hakaze said what's going on now.
"And yet the Republic didn't try to take it back", Summer said.
"They wish they could", Hakaze said to her.
"Just where were they during the fall of the Royal Family?" Ozpin wonders.
"I think your about to see later."
We move to the streets of St. Silver 10 years later. People wait in long lines in a gray, cold winter. Then a song plays and people, Human and Faunus alike starts singing.
"Silver is gloomy", a old woman sang.
"Silver is bleak", a younger woman sang next.
"My underwear got frozen standing here all week!" A shivering man sang next which gave some of the audiences a laugh.
"Oh, since the revolution, our lives have been so gray." A group sang next.
"Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day!" All together then.
"Hey!"
"Have you heard there's a rumor in st. Silver?"
"Have you heard what they're saying on the street?"
"Although the Roses and Xiao Longs did not survive One daughter may be still alive" a Newsman sang.
"The Princess Ruby!"
"But please do not repeat!" The newsman said as a B1 Battle Droid on top of AAT is watching.
"It's a rumor, a legend, a mystery!"
"Something whispered in an alleyway or through a crack!"
"It's a rumor that's part of our history!"
"They say her royal grandmama will pay a royal sum."
"To someone who can bring the princess back!" All sang before we move on to another scene.
"So Maria plans to give a reward to anyone who can find and bring Ruby home because she believes she's still alive", Summer said after listening to the tone of the song.
"But some of them are saying it's a rumor and a legend", Ozpin said.
"The reward must be some royal money", Mercury said thinking that.
"Well will have to wait and see", Emerald said to him.
"Also wait until you all get to see Ruby herself", Hakaze said while they keep watching.
We go to a seedy corner of the town, where black marketers ply their wares. Some are selling remnants from the ransacked palace. Here we see Peter Port waits nervously while Oscar Pine, now 20, haggles with a scary looking gangster.
"PSST! Over here! Fell off the truck, Big bargain!" A black marketer said to various people.
"Peter!" Oscar whistle to Peter's attention.
"Oscar, I've got my part done." Peter said to him and the song continues.
"Oh ho, I make an appearances", Peter commented.
"Your Oscar's friend who's helping him get the reward", Hakaze said.
"Wow, Oscar looks handsome being an adult", Ruby said which causes Oscar to blush.
"A ruble for this painting. It's Rose and Xiao Long, I swear!"
"The Count's pajamas! Comrades, buy the pair!"
"I got this from the palace, it's lined with real fur." One said holding a ratty fur coat.
"It could be worth a fortune if it belonged to her!" The Black marketers said thinking if it belonged to Ruby.
Next scene, Oscar rejoins Peter.
"Well Oscar, I got us a theater." Peter said the news he brings and the audiences wonders what that means and what are they planning, Oscar on screen grins.
"Everything's going according to plan. All we need is the girl. Just think, Peter, no more forging papers, no more stolen goods. We'll have three tickets out of here. One for you, one for me and one for Ruby!" Oscar said until he starts singing next.
"If your wondering what are they planning? They plan to get an Ruby imposter just for them to get the reward money", what Hakaze revealed causes Ruby's family and friends to glare at both Oscar and Peter, the it's Oscar who gets more of it.
"You creep!" Yang said to Oscar who cowers in his seat.
"That's a scandal", James commented.
"But in time the girl they will be accompanying would turn out to be Ruby Rose herself", Hakaze tells them and everyone calms themselves although they are still a bit mad at Oscar and Peter for their plan.
"It's the rumor, the legend, the mystery!"
"It's the princess Ruby who will help us fly!"
"You and I, friend, will go down in history!"
"We'll find a girl to play the part, and teach her what to say"
"Dress her up and take her to Vale."
"Imagine the reward her dear old grandmama will pay!"
"Who else could pull it off but you and me?"
"We'll be rich!" Then both singing.
"We'll be rich!"
"We'll be out!"
"We'll be out!"
"And Saint Silver will have some more to talk about!"
"Yaah!"
"Whoo!" They both get down from the roof sliding down using the snow on the roof and get to the streets.
"That was impressive but dangerous", Glynda commented after seeing both of them get down from the roof that way.
Widen away from Oscar and Peter to see they're only one small group in a giant city where all are concerned with one thing.
"Shh! HAVE YOU HEARD? THERE'S A RUMOR IN ST. SILVER! HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ON THE STREET? HEY! HEY! HEY! HAVE YOU HEARD THERE'S A RUMOR IN ST. SILVER! HAVE YOU HEARD", everyone sings.
"COMRADE, WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE?" A Delighted Gossiper sang as Oscar and Peter gets on a street train.
"A FASCINATING MYSTERY!"
"THE BIGGEST CON IN HISTORY!" Oscar sang while on the street train and the crowd sing all together
"THE PRINCESS RUBY! ALIVE OR DEAD …"
"Who knows? Shh!" A window washer said before covering himself as the song finishes with a whole flock of birds fly away.
"Who knows huh? Shh", Nora commented.
"Now we are going to see our friend Ruby as a adult, except her age is 18", Hakaze said to everyone.
"I wonder where Ruby has been anyway after 10 years has passed", Summer wonders about that.
"Oh you'll see."
Next scene goes to an orphanage, here we see Rena 18 year old, bundled up in ragged clothes looking more like a boy is standing with those who knew Caroline Cordovin who is the headmistress, who's pointing down the street.
"Wow, Ruby has been living an orphanage", Blake said after they see again.
"Also why the other orphans are calling her Rena?" Yang only ask because they can all hear the orphans calling Ruby Rena instead of her birth born name.
"That's because Ruby has amnesia after she fell on her head in the beginning and it was a very hard one", Hakaze explains why exactly she's called Rena to begin with.
"The fall must have been very hard", Weiss commented.
"Cordovin as the headmistress of the orphanage huh?" James commented but not thrilled about Cordovin's attitude.
"Also Ruby somewhat resembles her mother", Tai said after seeing the grown up Ruby.
"She does", Summer said smiling.
"That she does", Penny made her comment.
"I got you a job in the Fish Factory. You go straight down this path till you get to the fork in the road, go left are you listening?" Cordovin said and ask Rena if she's listening because she wasn't looking at her, while some in the audiences who don't Cordovin snicker.
"Bye, bye everybody, I'm listening Comrade Cordovin." Rena who was bust saying goodbye to her fellow orphans then turns her attentions to Cordovin.
"You've been a thorn in my side since you were brought here." Cordovin said as she keeps pulling Rena to the gate.
"He-hey." Rena getting really uncomfortable of being pulled like that.
"Acting like the Queen of Atlas, instead of the nameless no account you are. And for the last ten years I've fed you, I've clothed you. I've kept a roof over your head", Cordovin keeps talking while Rena and those the audiences try their best to keep their cool.
"Kept a roof over my head. Oh!" Rena interrupts.
"Well at least Cordovin did what she could to help Ruby while she was staying in the orphanage", Summer said feeling grateful for that.
"How is it you don't have a clue as to who you were before you came to us but you can remember all that?" Well it's not like Cordovin knew what happened to Ruby before she had amnesia.
"I do have a clue to", Rena said pulling the necklace which the audiences recognize from the beginning of the film that was given to her by her grandma Maria 10 years ago.
"Ugh! I know!" Cordovin interrupts and pulls at the necklace.
"Oh don't be grumpy", Clover commented.
"At least she was able to hang on to that necklace that her grandma gave to her 10 years ago, even though she doesn't know her past", Winter speaks her mind.
"Well in time Rena will remember everything, including her real name, Ruby Rose", Hakaze said but that will happen later.
"Together in Vale. So, you want to go to Vale to find your family, huh?" Cordovin said and laughs after getting a close up look in the necklace.
"Mm-hmm."
"Little Miss Rena, it's time to take your place in life." Cordovin said to her and she gasp.
"In life and in line, and be grateful too." Cordovin tells all that to Rena as she steps out from the gate entrance.
"Oh." Laughing, she slams the gate. Rena starts off.
"Together in Vale. Be grateful." Cordovin said laughing and then coughs.
"Yeah be grateful for your old age and attitude Cordovin", James insults her.
"Well, let's just hope Ruby knows what's doing."
"Maybe Yang", Ruby told her.
Next we move to Rena who walking trying to get to the city and find train that will take her to Vale.
"Be grateful, Rena." Rena mimicking Cordovin's voice and speech.
"I am grateful! Grateful to get away", Rena said using her normal voice now as she comes to a fork in the road. She stops. One sign points to
"Fisherman's Village and the other sign points to. Go left, she says. Well, I know what's to the left. I'll be Rena the Orphan forever. But if 1 go right … Maybe I could find…" Rena touches her necklace again.
"Who ever gave me this necklace must have loved me… This is crazy! Me go to Vale … ?" She tilts her head skyward and closes her eyes in prayer.
"Send me a sign, a hint, anything." Rena said while sitting down, then from behind her, a familiar dog comes bounding up to Rena, grabbing her scarf.
"Zwei!" Ruby cheered as Zwei makes an appearance this time.
"Zwei must be a stray dog in this universe before he meets Ruby", Qrow took a guess.
"At least friend Ruby won't be alone on her journey anyway", Penny comment that Ruby alone on her journey to find her family in Vale.
"But it won't just be Zwei who be joining her", Hakaze is talking about Oscar and Peter.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" Zwei prances a few feet away, barks, runs a few steps, turns, barks again. He wants Rena to follow.
"I don't have time to play right now, OK. I'm waiting for a sign." Rena closes her eyes again. Zwei, with scarf in his mouth runs down the right fork. He stops, turns and barks at Rena.
"In would never say that to you Zwei", Ruby said and Zwei licks her face.
"Would you give me that, could you, would you please leave me alone. Stop, give me that back, gi … gi … Oh!" Rena exasperated demanded only for her to fall in the snow and suddenly get it.
"Wow, Zwei has beaten you Ruby", Yang said laughing.
"Yep he did", Ruby makes a smug look.
"But at least you got your scarf back", Blake commented.
"Zwei is still cute", Weiss commented because liked Zwei after meeting for the first time.
"Oh, … Oh, great. A dog wants me to go to St. Silver Okay …" Rena said glancing skyward.
So we cut to the road of St. Silver.
"I can take a hint." Rena takes her first step toward St. Silver and music starts playing.
"Oh Ruby is going to sing", Summer said.
"Let's see how good you are Ruby", Weiss said to her because it could be competing on who's the best singer.
"I sense competing on this", Winter said.
"Come on Winter", Weiss turns to her.
"Let's just listen to Ruby singing." Hakaze said to everyone.
"HEART, DON'T FAIL ME NOW. COURAGE, DON'T DESERT ME! DON'T TURN BACK, NOW THAT WE'RE HERE. PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES."
"NO ONE EVER MENTIONS FEAR! OR HOW THE WORLD CAN SEEK SO VAST."
"MOVING FORWARD… TO THE PAST…" Rena picks the dog up.
"SOMEWHERE DOWN THIS ROAD, I KNOW SOMEONE'S WAITING. YEARS OF DREAMS JUST CAN'T BE WRONG."
"ARMS WILL OPEN WIDE. I'LL BE SAFE AND WANTED, FINALLY HOME WHERE I BELONG. WELL, STARTING NOW, I'M LEARNING FAST ON THIS JOURNEY-TO THE PAST." Rena continues singing as she encounters a family house with children playing and they see her with Zwei.
"Friend Ruby is already a good singer", Penny said liking how Ruby is singing.
"Yeah just like me", Weiss said smiling.
"We all like it Ruby", Pyrrha said liking it.
"Thanks everyone."
"My baby girl is a singer!" Summer said but some part of it embarrasses Ruby.
At the same time time the children parents are working. Plus the children giggles while they are playing.
"Come Mama we'll be late." The father said to his wife.
"Oh look, look at the beautiful PUPPY - - - -" The mom said after seeing Zwei with Rena.
"HOME, LOVE, FAMILY." Rena continues singing and the children continues to giggle.
"Let's go children." The father said to them.
"Bye." The daughter says to goodbye to Rena who waves goodbye to them.
"THERE WAS ONCE A TIME I MUST HAVE HAD THEM, TOO. HOME, LOVE, FAMILY. I WILL NEVER BE COMPLETE UNTIL I FIND YOU ONE STEP AT A TIME."
"ONE HOPE, THEN ANOTHER. WHO KNOWS WHERE THIS ROAD MAY GO. BACK TO WHO I WAS. ON TO FIND MY FUTURE."
"THINGS MY HEART STILL NEEDS TO KNOW YES, LET THIS BE A SIGN! LET THIS ROAD BE MINE! LET IT LEAD ME TO MY PAST AND BRING ME HOME… AT LAST!" Rena finish as she sees the view of the city which is St. Silver.
"That was lovely!" Summer said hugging Ruby while everyone else clap their hands.
"So what now?" Ruby ask what her counterpart will do now after she gets to the city.
"What she needs to do next is find a transport that will get her to Vale", Hakaze said what Ruby/Rena will need to do next.
Before Rena can keep walking toward St. Silver, she looks to the right and sees the wreckage and burned out AT-TE Walkers, TX-130 Saber Tanks, AT-XT Walkers, AT-RT Walkers and HAVW A6 Juggernaut Tank.
"I think we know what happened to the Republic Forces here", Jaune said after they saw all that.
End
Coming up next, Rena/Ruby meets Oscar and Peter.
Notes: Yeah, Ruby will go by the name Rena until she gets her full memory back.
