Man, Pyrrha never seems to get a rest. But it´s inda fun to imagine all the mindf*ck scenarios how she could return to the show. I mean, the most obvious idea would be that Ruby accidentally absorbed her soul when she died, and that Pyrrha could take control any moment now, but with no memories of her death and stuff. Like, she´d mentally still be in the middle of her fight against Cinder, so if Pyrrha would take control of Ruby, she´d act as if she was under attack. Yep, bad.However, there is another idea I´ve been working on recently. Let me explain in form of a fanfiction (well, a short bit of it, otherwise I´d be sitting here all week):Pyrrha felt a burning sting, follwed by immense heat and, finally, emptiness. She shot up and, breathig heavily, looked around. The room she found herself in looked almost unreal. The walls were black, with red, deformed windows. The bed she was lying in was black as well, with a white blanket that had a mysterious symbol woven into it in red yarn, and on a chair to her left, Pyrrha saw her clothes. "Hello!", she called. After a while, and a few more attempts, she got up and dressed herself. Moving felt strange, almost unnatural, and her ankle itched a little. "Right, the battle..." Pyrrha suddenly remembered her battle with Cinder atop Beacon Tower. "Wait, if that really happened, how am I alive?", she thought. "You can thank me for that." The sudden voice, that seemed to come out of nowhere, startled Pyrrha, and she asked: "Where are you? Show yourself!" The voice said: "I don´t think you´ll like me." Pyrrha noticed how aggressive she had sounded, calmed down and said: "Of course I´ll like you. You saved my life." The voice asked: "Promise not to hurt me?" Pyrrha answered: "Promise." The voice said: "Alright, then. Go to the mirror. Around the corner." Pyrrha walked around the corner, where she found a short hallway, with a few hooks for cloaks on the left side, a mirror on the right and a door right in front of her. The hooks looked like the claws of a Beowulf, and both the mirror and the door were framed by white, bone-like objects. Pyrrha stepped in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Her hair suddenly began moving, swung over her left shoulder and turned black, with a series of razor-sharp teeth connecting the black blob to her head. Pyrrha´s faint smile froze for a second, then turned into an expression of pure terror, before she began screaming. The voice tried to calm her down, but only the sound when the mirror was shattered into thousands of pieces pulled her back into reality. "What are you? What am I? How is this possible? What are you doing on my head? Where am I?" Pyrrha´s mind was racing as she tried to process all this information. The voice said: "Your kind calls me a Grimm Leech. You are still a human, I suppose. I admit, I´m not good with distinguishing humans and faunus. We latch onto other beings and make them more powerful, since we ourselves are very weak." The door was slammed open, and the Grimm Leech quickly took on a red color again, pretending to be Pyrrha´s hair. Pyrrha felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up. She had fallen on her knees, and the mirror´splitters were scattered all across the hallway. Pyrrha stood up and asked: "Mercury? What are you doing here?" Mercury answered: "Honestly, my feet dragged me here. Literally." Pyrrha said: "I´m sorry." Mercury asked: "It´s fine. But why´d you scream like that, anyway?" Pyrrha answered: "There´s a Grimm on my head, and it looks like my hair for some reason." Mercury said: "Yeah, about that. Sit down, I´ve got some stuff to tell you. I mean, someone else could tell you as well, but I´m here already, and having you wander around on your own and not knowing a thing or two about this place could get you in trouble. And that, in turn, could get me in trouble."Mercury sat down on the chair next to Pyrrha´s bed, and Pyrrha sat down on her bed. "So, why, and how is there a Grimm on my head?", Pyrrha asked. Mercury answered: "How many species of Grimm do you know?" Pyrrha asked: "Beowulves, Ursai, Boarbertusks, King Taijitu, Creepers, Beringel, this dragon-looking thing, Geist, and perhaps a few more. Why?" Mercury answered: "Well, there is one type of Grimm that is unlike any other. Granted, they´re all unlike each other, but the one on your head is pretty special, even for Grimm standarts. It´s called the Grimm Leech, and it is kind of a parasite." Pyrrha asked: "Wait. That thing isn´t stealing my aura or anything, right?" Mercury answered: "No, of course not. It´s actually more of a symbiote, so both of you benefit from one another." Pyrrha asked: "It said it makes me more powerful. Is that right?" Mercury answered: "Yep. You´re stronger, faster, heal faster, your semblance is more powerful than before, all that nice stuff. By the way, the increased healing is also why you´re not dead." Pyrrha asked: "So, what does it get out of this?" Mercury answered: "It survives. You see, Grimm Leech are among the weakest Grimm there are. Their only chance of survival is if they make other Grimm, animals or people more powerful, who then protect them." Pyrrha asked: "Wait a second. Weren´t you with Cinder?" She made a backflip across the room and lifted Mercury´s legs into the air, pinning them to the room´s ceiling and turning him upside down. Mercury answered: "Well, yeah. I admit, we didn´t make the best first impression, but we had our reasons." Pyrrha said: "You destroyed Vale! What reason could you have had?" Mercury answered: "You." Pyrrha was a little bit confused and asked: "What do you mean?" Mercury answered: "Your semblance, Ozpin deemed it too powerful in this age, so he looked for a way to get rid of it. Had Cinder not interfered, Amber´s soul would´ve fought with yours, and in the end, none of you would´ve survived. All that would´ve been left would be a hollow shell, Cinder would still gain the Fall Maiden´s powers and Ozpin would´ve won." Pyrrha asked: "What are you talking about? Ozpin would never do something like this!" Mercury asked: "Really? Then why did he put you into a machine to ransfer someone´s sould into your body? Why didn´t Cinder kill you, but instead send you here? And why did we save you?" Pyrrha let Mercury fall and sank to the ground. "But I... I thought Ozpin wanted to protect Remnant." Mercury got up and said: "He wanted. He wanted to protect Remnant from anyone but himself. Why, do you think, did he stay behind? He is far more powerful than you think. Cinder fled from him, which was when she encountered you. She was about to kill the Grimm Dragon." Pyrrha asked: "What? Then that means that I..." Mercury said: "Kind of, yeah. But you didn´t know." Pyrrha asked: "Wait, Ozpin is still out there? I have to ask him." Mercury said: "Great idea. Let´s just go tell the man who sacrificed an entire kingdom to get rid of you that you´re still alive. He´ll be so happy, Remnant might just lose another kingdom." Pyrrha got up and asked: "What happened after my fight with Cinder?" Mercury answered: "Ruby found out that she had the inborn abbility to petrify Grimm with her freaky eye-lasers. We´re currently trying to find her so she doesn´t end up like you. Or worse." Pyrrha asked: "What freaky eye-lasers?" Mercury answered: "Those born with silver eyes can turn Grimm to stone. If Ozpin wanted, he could teach her how to do it. But instead, he waited until it was too late. Not the definition of a good leader, am I right?" Pyrrha asked: "Perhaps he didn´t know about it. Ever thought of that?" Mercury answered: "At first, yes. But, to be honest, someone who knows about the maidens, and even can fight off one of them, doesn´t strike me as the kind of guy who wouldn´t know about this stuff. Now, it was kind of nice talking to you, but I´ve got to go."Oops, I may have gone overboard again here. Sorry.
