Reddish White

As I piloted my flying saucer-slash-mobile lab to Vale after seeing Arthur Watts, I organized what events were supposed to happen in the original canon timeline in my head. The first would probably be Pyrrha's last tournament at the Mistral Regional Cup, along with Ruby's big showdown with a massive pack of Beowolfs that was shown during the Red trailer for RWBY. Although I doubt Willow will put Weiss through the same test as Jacques by pitting her against the Arma Gigas, it could still happen since Winter confirmed that her little sister still wants to attend Beacon for whatever reason if fate or plot is not an actual existence that causes certain things to happen.

Then there is Cinder's meeting with Adam after getting her posse together to hunt the Fall Maiden, which may still happen since Salem is going to let the fiery woman off the leash to gather the Four Maiden powers just to spite Ozma. Thankfully the witch had zero intentions of collecting the Relics to cause doomsday since it would only make her situation worse. Blake is still with the White Fang for now, but my few recent visits to her to give her parents' letters to her have given me the impression that she is somewhat aware of Adam's true character so that she may desert soon.

Yang does not have any reason I know of to go to Junior's Club since she has reconnected with Raven and no longer has a reason to search for her. Although considering the blonde's track record from what the former bandit chief told me in passing, Yang could still go to the club for whatever reason and start a fight like a hothead she is. After that, there should be no Dust heist for Ruby to interfere with and cause her to give Ozpin an excuse to have her attend Beacon earlier than she should.

Only time can tell, and I have to be patient and observant for the time being. As my mind considered what-ifs to pass the time, Electra, my Artificial Intelligence Assistant, alerted me.

[ Creator, we will be entering Vale airspace soon.]

" Thanks, Electra. Activate the stealth systems. I rather not show up on the radar."

[Activating The Foreigner's stealth system.]

The Foreigner is the name of my flying saucer. Since the idea doesn't exist in this world, I thought it was appropriate while not being cheesy or cringe-worthy. Although I did abduct a few people and cows to prank them into thinking little green men are real, fun fact Remnant does not have tabloids, so the news spread by word of mouth and social media. What happened next almost made me die of laughter; James "Tindick" Ironwood released a public statement where he declared that no little green men shall ever abduct another person for experiments as he will be bolstering Atlas' anti-aircraft systems.

I did let some people take pictures of my alien spaceship and show them I could leave Remnant's orbit along with the little green men that were just robots in disguise. They looked like green Minions from the Despicable Me-Verse while speaking the same Minion gibberish. Arthur also got some chuckles out of the joke when I told him although I have not done it recently, I am thinking of doing one more alien abduction before attending Beacon to throw Tindick into a tizzy; he is on my shortlist of who to abduct.

As I considered who I would prank next with my alien abductions, I saw my Forever Fall manor and got ready to land in my secret hangar. The backyard opened up as I landed with my invisible spaceship. After entering my secret hangar, I got out of my ship and went to take a shower. I passed by the other things stored in my secret hangar and got in the elevator to the manor. A short elevator ride later, I found myself on the ground floor of my home near the main hall. Before I could head up the steps to take a shower, I heard.

" Welcome back, dad."

I turned to see the female digital idol I created in her mobile platform, Lilith. Lilith resembled Lucifer in a lot of aspects, with her pale complexion and white hair with black highlights and mask. The female digital idol had a cute petite form with hip-length white hair and black highlights. Her eyes were a multicolored crystalline color, like a prism, and unlike Lucifer, her dial-covered mask did not display a sound meter stock but red lips that moved as she spoke. I admired my handiwork on her holographic mobile platform, which showed her digital appearance with perfect accuracy. I returned a greeting to my sort-of daughter.

" Hello, Lilith. How have you been?"

" Alright, what about you?"

" Well, I need a shower, but overall, I'm good."

" Luci said you were not going to spread the communication array you set up for the time being despite its superiority over the CCTS."

I nodded in reply to Lilith's non-question and she hummed in return before turning around and leaving to do her own thing. I went back to trying to get a shower in my room, and as I entered my room, I heard running water. Someone was using my shower despite the large Mistral ( Japanese) bath on the ground floor that everyone enjoys, so I went to see who was borrowing my shower. I stripped off my dirty clothes and put on a towel around my waist, then opened the door to my bathroom to see Emerald using my walk-in shower.

" Em, why are you using my shower?"

She looked like a deer caught in lights at seeing me, and after a few moments, she covered herself with a nearby towel with a blush adorning her cheeks as she said.

" Silva, your back..."

" Try not to sound too excited, Em."

I said with a bit of sarcasm before repeating my question.

" Again, why are you using my shower?"

" I just wanted a bit of privacy; that's all."

" Anything the matter?"

" No, there's nothing, don't worry."

The mint-haired girl assured me, and I mentally shrugged, as everyone wants a bit of me-time every now and then. I then asked.

" Mind if I get a shower? Cause I stink to high heaven since The Foreigner doesn't have a shower."

" Ah, sure, I was just enjoying a hot shower since you were away doing what you were doing. Speaking of which, what were you up to?"

Emerald asked me while looking curious, and I replied.

" I'll show you the pictures later since you got to see it to believe it."

" Oh? Now you have me curious, Silva, but anyway, welcome back and enjoy your shower."

The mint-haired girl walked past me and pulled herself up on my shoulder to give me a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. I am looking forward to her reactions to seeing the pictures of Remnant from orbit, but for now a quick shower to wash off the grime.

Pyrrha took a deep breath as she went out to the arena for the fourth time in her life. The crowd cheered for their two-time, going three, champion of the Mistral Regional Cup and she saw her opponent for the finals, Neopolitan. The master of ceremonies called out to the crowd and said.

" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HERE WE ARE AGAIN FOR THE FINALS OF THE REGIONAL CUP. ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE OUR UNTOUCHABLE YOUNG GODDESS OF VICTORY HERE TO WIN FOR A THIRD TIME!"

The crowd went wild as they adored Pyrrha and the polite spartan gave a polite wave to the public despite her bubbling discomfort at being put on a pedestal. The announcer then called out to further the crowd's excitement.

" ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE HAVE PYRRHA NIKO'S DE FACTO RIVAL, NEOPOLITAN! THE TRIPLE THREAT IN A SMALL PACKAGE!"

The tri-colored girl had her own solid fan base, as a fair number of people cheered for her as well, and she gave a theatrical bow with a confident smirk. Pyrrha then spoke to Neopolitan with a slight smile at a familiar face.

" Hello, Neo; how have you been?"

The tri-colored girl shrugged as if to express herself.

" As well as I can be."

She then gestured to the polite spartan to return the question.

" I'm... Well enough, but I am looking forward to attending Beacon with Silva. What about you? Still no interest in being a Huntress?"

Neopolitan pretends to gag at the idea of being a Huntress since she finds being a goody two shoes disgusting since she gets her kicks out of doing bad things. Silva is aware of the tri-colored girl's criminal activities but does not stop her, as he knows it's a source of expressing her freedom to her, and so long as she does not cross some lines that the snow leopard man won't tolerate, she can do as she pleases. Neopolitan points her parasol at Pyrrha with a confident smile, and the announcer calls out.

" LET THE FINALS OF THE MISTRAL REGIONAL CUP BEGIN!"
