Young Frankenstein: It's Alive

"Hey, Archie, we're ready to go," said Yang.

Arnold looked to them all, and saw everyone assembled and ready to watch. He placed the crystal in te teater, and the lights dimmed…

The wind blew, and the rain fell hard. In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, a body with a burlap sack over the head swung back and forth on the noose like a pendulum, before being taken down.

"Well, this is a rather macabre beginning," commented Ozpin.

Two men were burying the body, when the constable cleared his throat.

"Alright, alright," he announced, "That's good enough for the likes of him!"

The man got a cross as the men that buried him made way. The officer handed one of the diggers the grave marker, who planted it in the ground, before his partner tapped it with his shovel as the first held it in place. As they did this, two figures watched in the distance: Ren and Nora.

"Hey, it's us!" said Nora.

"What are you two wearing?" gagged Coco.

Ren wore an ordinary trench coat and a hat, with a cape for the rain. Nora wore a black shroud over her body. Of the two though, Nora stood out the most. There was a large hunch on her right shoulder as she slouched, and she had wide eyes, one of which was lazy.

Coco found Ren's outfit dreadfully ordinary, while Nora's was… horrifying.

"We look awesome Ren!" said Nora defending her other self's choice in clothes, "What do you think we are? Detectives?"

"I doubt that a black shroud is used by detectives," said Ren, who was merely content to just watch things play out for the moment.

Nora made to stand up, but Ren grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Get down," he whispered, and Nora obeyed.

As the two diggers walked away, Nora looked back to Ren, who waited a moment before he gave Nora the signal. Nora opened the gate, and the two snuck in, and began to exhume the body.

"Grave robbers?" Ren balked, flatly somehow.

"Ooh, do you think there's a clue to the mystery?" asked Nora.

"Mystery?" asked Pyrrha.

"Duh," said Nora, "This has to be a mystery story! The atmosphere, the setting, how we look."

"Perhaps…" said Glynda, who sounded a little skeptical, "If this version of you is anything like you, you must have a purpose of some kind for you actions, Mr. Ren."

"I… hope so," said Ren, uncertain.

After some time, the two jumped into the hole, and after much effort, brought the simple wooden box to the surface, and the two took a moment to breath.

"What a filthy job," muttered Ren.

"Could be worse," said Nora.

"How?" asked Ren.

"Could be raining," she replied.

Thunder tore apart the silence, as lightning sliced through the darkness. The rain began to fall again that night. Ren slowly turned to Nora, a frown on his face. Nora shifted awkwardly.

"Lame," said Yang.

"Nah… cliché is more like it," said Qrow.

"It was pretty funny though," said Ruby.
