AN: DahakStaz: Heyo! Nice double review/comment, thanks for taking the time to do so it means a lot! I replied to your reviews at the end of this chapter as the reply ended up getting really lengthy.

Next day, Professor Ports Class

'Why did I attend this class again?' I thought as I listened to another of Ports stories of his adventurous youth. Even Weiss looked bored out of her mind damn it! Although that could be partially Jaune's fault, still pestering Weiss even now… He needs to notice Pyrrha already. Finally the bell rang stopping Professor Port in his tracks.

"Oh.. Uh. I timed that one wrong, the stunning conclusion to the story will have to wait till next time." Professor Port said as the class began chattering away now that class was over. I merely groaned at the thought of another story. Today was the day team RWBY should be investigating Roman and the White Fang, which means my team is free to do whatever we like now. We quickly made our way back to our dorm before I willed a portal to open near the window.

"Well team, in ya go." I said gesturing to the tear in the very fabric of the RWBY dimension.

"Geronimo!" Knight hollered as he leapt into the portal, Icarus used her wings to fly in and Elizabeta simply walked calmly in, with my team through I stepped past the portal threshold allowing it to shut behind me.

"I like what you've done with the place. It's very you." Knight said from where he floated doing flips and spins.

"What? Empty and devoid of life? I get that a lot." I replied before willing a flat silver surface to materialize below us before adjusting the gravity, a small trick I picked up while practicing with the probes. Knight promptly fell face first onto the ground causing Icarus to laugh and Elizabeta to sigh.

"Little warning next time Silver…" Knight said as he picked himself up.

"My bad." I admitted before willing two new portals to open, one to Knights base, and another to my own. "See you in a few hours, just call me if you want to return early." I said to Knight and Elizabeta before gesturing to the portal that lead to their base. Once they stepped through I took Icarus through the other portal, the first thing I noticed was the completed Purifier segment of the base.

"Alright Icarus, I have some work to do. I'll work on the Protoss side, you're free to do as you wish." I told Icarus who nodded and headed for the Starport, seems she had an idea or two. As I walked towards the Purifier structures I had the system display our current production options for Purifier tech.

Gateway

- Sentinel (Purifier Zealot) 100 minerals

- Adept (Purifier Ranged Specialist) 100 minerals

- Instigator (Purifier Stalker) 125 minerals 50 vespene

- Energizer (Purifier Sentry) 100 mineral 150 vespene

Robotics Facility

- Disruptor (Purifier Heavy Artillery) 150 minerals 150 vespene

- Colossus 300 minerals 200 vespene

- Immortal 250 minerals 100 vespene

- Observer 25 minerals 75 vespene

Stargate

- Scout 200 minerals 150 vespene

- Tempest 200 minerals 250 vespene (locked, requires fleet beacon)

- Void Ray 250 minerals 150 vespene

'Hmm… until we construct more facilities I'll have to focus on one or two types from each category.' I organized my thoughts.

"System, begin production of Sentinels from the Gateway, Observers from the Robotics Facility, and finally produce Void Rays from the Stargate." I ordered.

"Confirmed." The System responded. With that done I pulled out my scroll and contacted Athena.

"Athena, I need your exact coordinates on my map, can you provide them?" I requested.

"Oh commander Silver! Hello! I can send those right away!" Athena's chipper voice responded.

"Coordinates received, updating map with new data." The System announced.

"Thank you Athena, see you soon." I said before ending the call. Now to test another theory of mine.

'Just a few hundred thousand miles, what could go wrong…' I thought before materializing a portal back in the void and stepping through, once there I used the map data from before along with my memory of Athena's ship to materialize a new portal to her battlecruiser, I stepped through the portal and prayed I didn't end up in space.

"Commander on deck!" I heard a reassuring shout of a marine and let out a breath of air in relief. I had landed just where I wanted to, directly on the bridge. However it seems I depleted my aura making that jump, obviously distance along with my memory of the location factor into the cost, perhaps I could find alternative ways to lock in where I want to arrive.

"At ease men, Athena, are you with us?" I dismissed the marines before turning to the main console.

"Welcome aboard the Dawn!" Athena's small holographic image appeared on the center console and said.

"The Dawn huh? I like it. So did you get the task done?" I asked.

"Of course, we've even begun replicating it repeatedly as asked. I'll open the bridge blast shutters so you can see with your own eyes." Athena reported before suddenly the shutters around the bridge began opening, I gazed outwards from the main window upon a massive structure in space hanging in orbit around Remnants broken moon. Within the scaffolds of the structure was a massive ship, another minotaur-class Battlecruiser nearly completed by the looks of it. Defending the structure were two more minotaur-class battlecruiser, clearly they had been completed before I had the chance to check on the shipyard. Patrolling around the Battlecruisers and the shipyard were numerous wraith and viking fighter wings, granted there wasn't much to defend from. A constant stream of Medivacs and Hercules dropships could be seen traveling to and from the moon to the shipyard most likely funneling more resources to the construction.

"I'll admit, I'm impressed. Damn good job Athena." I commended Athena, gotta give praise where praise is due after all.

"Thank you Commander Silver." Athena's avatar did a small bow before smiling brightly. "However I would like to ask why we need so much firepower? Will we be destroying Remnant?" She asked curiously.

"No, not quite, exterminatus should be reserved for truly lost worlds. I believe our journey won't simply end here." I answered. "Now please bring us back to Remnant, I'd like your ship to be stationed in orbit from now on." I ordered.

"It shall be done, plotting course, aligning, engaging warp." Athena replied before setting to her task. In a flash of green light we were now holding position in orbit above Remnant, gotta love short range jumps.

"What's your current fighter compliment aboard the Dawn?" I asked as I'll need plenty of aircraft for the coming battles.

"We currently have one hundred Vikings, fifty Wraiths, fifty Banshees, one hundred Medivacs and twenty hercules dropships." Athena reported.

"Excellent have fighters on standby, I'll contact you with additional orders soon. For now maintain position." I ordered as I began to leave the bridge.

"As you wish Commander Silver." Athena replied as I left. I quickly made my way to the Dawn's on-board research lab, I found the facilities to be pristine however they were lacking the Protoss element of my forces. I quickly materialized a pylon in the center of the lab along with a purifier probe to complement it.

"System, create a personality partition along with a body possessing the following characteristics. Ensure they have access to the entire database." I ordered.

Confirm?

Name: Sia

Gender: Female

Aura: No

Semblance: N/A (Requires Aura)

Psionic: Yes

Appearance: Synthetic Protoss Adept

"Confirm" I said before a flash of light blinded me, when my vision cleared I gazed upon a stunning Protoss adept. She lacked the normal weaponry but wore the lighter speed focused armor of her class and possessed the pride and poise of a Protoss officer.

"Sia?" I probed.

'Yes Executor?' Sia replied through the psionic link we shared, seems the purifier data web really does mimic the khala.

"I'm tasking you with research into new blends of terran-protoss technology, I'm giving you free reign over what you want to work on specifically, simply contact me for approval before implementing your designs across our forces." I explained.

'It will be done.' Sia replied before immediately having the nearby probe begin warping in various pieces and equipment to supplement the lab. With my job here done and my aura recharged I materialized a portal and stepped back into the void. I quickly reopened another portal back to my base and stepped through, a quick system check showed nothing to be wrong so I headed for the starport to check on Icarus.

"Icarus, whatcha working on?" I asked when i finally found her in the hanger of one of the starports, she seemed to be modifying her Banshee once more.

"Ah Silver! I could use some help, wanna pass me that khaydarin crystal core over there?" Icarus asked from her position near where there used to be the main engine for the Banshee. Wanting to see where this is going I did as asked and watched as she installed the crystal into a waiting slot, this seemingly was a power source for whatever modification she had added into her Banshee.

"So, what did you do this time Icarus?" I asked my second in command as she was hard at work testing various linkages.

"Well l noticed some designs in the database, apparently the Protoss used psi-field generators to mimic an old ability to form plasma shields using focused psionic energy. I decided to repurpose the method to upgrade my Banshee once more, I ran her through a protoss fabricator installing a new engine based off protoss designs that I'm powering with that khaydarin crystal, this should provide ample power for the shields and ship systems. Now, if i just turn this on…" Icarus explained before hopping into and pressing a button in the cockpit, immediately after the Banshee came to life hovering just above the ground with a soft blue glow emitting from it's silhouette.

"Pretty nice, any downsides so far?" I asked.

"Not that I can see, oh and good news! I used yours to test it, so you get the upgrade too!" Icarus explained as she powered down the Banshee and exited the cockpit.

"I like the way you spin things, but that still sounds bad." I said patting her on the head before checking the time, seems I still have some time left. "Icarus, can you upload your Banshee design to the system and task the fleet with upgrading to the new variant?" I asked after a moment.

"Of course! Just let meeeeeee….. And done! Athena reported that she would begin to retrofit all of the fleet with the new engine and psi-field generators." Icarus said.

"Thank you Icarus, I think we're done here for today. Let's go pick up our teammates." I said before I pulled out my scroll and gave Knight a call to tell him I'll be picking him up, with that done i once more began materializing a portal, only this time I tried arriving at my destination rather than the void first, stepping through it with Icarus I was pleasantly surprised to arrive at Knight's location. Although it was rather different from what i remembered, large Geth fortifications had taken place where once a scrapyard stood, from the tell tale sounds of gunfire and explosions it seems I arrived at a wonderful time. Grimm, countless Grimm were flooding in towards the base.

"Let's kill some Grimm Icarus." I said to my second in command, she quickly removed her spear from her back and took to the skies raining death down upon the Grimm horde with her mechashifted rail gun. Personally I removed my scythe from my inventory and channeled psionic energy into the focusers I had placed near the blade, effectively forming a psionic scythe similar to the dark templar. I quickly charged while channeling aura into the gravity dust lining my stealth suit causing it to lighten giving me extra speed to sprint through the Grimm horde slicing Grimm in half left and right. However, it seemed the Grimm were unending, for every one sliced apart another two would take its place, at this rate I would be surrounded. Mentally releasing my throwing knives from my inventory I psionically commanded them to mechashift into little flying ion cannons before giving them a general shoot to kill order, this bought me enough time to reach the fortifications and use my blink ability to scale the main wall, I quickly located Knight where he had been providing supporting fire along with his Geth.

"Knight! What the fuck is happening?!" I yelled over the constant sound of gunfire as I took position next to Knight and began firing the aircraft grade ion cannon I had installed in my scythe.

"Welcome to the desert Silver! You came at a good time!" Knight yelled back as he kicked down a Grimm that had attempted to scale the wall. "We found out that hordes of Grimm tend to migrate the desert! You just arrived right when the mother of all hordes was passing through!" Knight explained before tossing a fragmentation grenade into the swarming Grimm. "We could use some air support though, wouldn't happen to have that Banshee of yours would you?" Knight asked now using our personal comms to hear each other.

"Fuck, I'll check." I cursed as a large Grimm smashed against the base wall shaking my aim.

"Athena, priority 1 mission, I want Banshees hot dropped on my position immediately!" I called in a request to Athena in orbit.

"Standby, releasing all teams, arrival in three minutes." Athena confirmed before I exited the channel. We held the line as best we could, but the Grimm were relentless in their assault.

"Hey Silver! Check it out, shooting stars." Knight suddenly pointed to the sky and said. Looking I noticed what appeared to be a meteor shower, it only took me a moment to realize these must be the reinforcements.

"Cavalry's arrived!" I laughed joyfully before returning to firing into the Grimm. Moments later the fireballs in the night sky were close enough to make out their silhouettes, fifty Banshees flying in loose formation were closing in rapidly.

"Light em up boys!" I yelled through the comms to my incoming Banshees. That was all they needed to hear before unleashing missiles into the ranks of Grimm as they went screaming over the base to come around for another pass. As the first missiles impacted, the Grimm roared in defiance and attempted to renew their assault but the second pass of my Banshees started to make the more intelligent of the Grimm become hesitant.

"All units charge! Show them what you're made of!" Knight called out before leaping off the wall alongside his army of Geth into close quarters combat ripping through the front-lines of the Grimm. I continued to fire into the remaining Grimm, with Knight's forces and my own combined the horde was soon cut down and dispersed. I had my Banshees cloak and return to the island base as they are incapable of achieving escape velocity to return to the Dawn, Athena could bring her ship into the atmosphere to pick them up later. Leaping off the wall I quickly recovered my throwing knives before heading over to where I spotted Knight, Icarus, and Elizabeta.

"Wooh! That was some damn good timing Silver, we need to do this more often!" Knight joyfully laughed before Elizabeta hit him over the head for his comment.

"I most certainly don't want to do this more often, although… it was a little fun." Elizabeta said.

"I for one am ready for some sleep, all that flying around has me exhausted." Icarus chimed in.

"Well team, it's been fun but we really have to get back to Beacon, we do still have classes tomorrow regardless of how much I'd like to skip them." I said before opening a portal to the dorm, my team stepped through and I followed before it shut behind us leaving the Geth to clean up and repair the base.

Reply to DahakStaz: Starting with the chapter 12 review: I realize I have a sort of multi-relationship going on with Silver and I'm not entirely sure if I'll add more to that to make a true harem, for now I'm sure Silver has his hands full with these two (Ruby, Icarus). Additionally on the topic of Winter I'll give you a little backstory into how the story is being written, currently I write alongside a friend who is the inspiration for Knight Celeste, so when I say player 2 they're not just some made up character but rather a real person who I talk with and use their input for how Knight would act along with his goals. Okay so backstory done, how that relates is that my friend definitely wants a harem for his character and he has brought up Winter a few times as one of his potentials, we're not sure how that would work right now as he already has two other candidates for his little harem if not more.

Continuing with chapter 13 review: Yeah it's OP as hell, but I like to think of it as a utility semblance with high aura and concentration cost to make it impractical in combat situations. On the topic of psionic blades I realize that only other psionic energy blades should be able to block them but I am considering bending the rules to allow aura to block yet require a lot of energy in order to not just steamroll all opponents with psionic weapons. The black crescent rose will use standard psionic blades until Silver delves into the void and learns how to use it on his own. He will definitely start upgrading his units, as I set the foundation to do so in this chapter. My idea towards additional units is that he will have to use his research lab modify/upgrade his current designs to the point where he will have more options. Now on the topic of energy tech I thought for awhile on this one and decided he can't really just force infrastructure for all that power into the kingdoms without going through the council (Which he would prefer not to deal with) so he will save bigger projects like that for if he builds a kingdom, using protoss-terran tech rather than dust tech to build the "Silver City" as I am currently dubbing it, once that is in place he can begin trading with the other kingdoms. On the topic of Jacques Schnee, assuming they don't do a serious redemption episode in the canon I will definitely target him for some "Fun" chapters. As for zerg starter kit and what he'll get I'm still sorta deciding on that one, I have some interesting ideas that might make wings a possibility though... and finally expect me to upgrade my armor sometime soon(tm)
