A/N: I've decided to use the text between ** as flashbacks as well as dreams, for an explanation on why this chapter is late read until the end.
As they walked into the arena Chase noticed a match was already going on so he watched it while waiting for Team RWBY got ready.A girl with long red hair and a spear was fighting a blonde boy in a hoodie with a sword and shield. From what he could tell the fight was already decided that the redhead would win but it was more to allow the blonde boy to practice.
After a while she finished the fight and they both walked into the preparation room. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?" asked the blonde. "Well, Chase might be joining beacon at the end of the break so we are testing how well he can fight" Weiss explained. "Well if that's the case then I'd like to fight him" The redhead said. "But Pyrrha you are the strongest here it'd be a little unfair if you were the first to fight him" Blake said. Chase, sensing a challenge, spoke up "Well I'm probably going to lose anyway, I'd prefer to lose to the strongest one".
Chase stepped into the arena looking at Pyrrha to try and determine her fighting style, he didn't get much from her fight with Jaune. A bell sounded telling him the fight has begun, Pyrrha waited watching him. He drew his daggers and ran towards her. She pulled out her spear and shield blocking his attack. With his other dagger he tried to swipe to the side of the shield but felt a tug on his hand and missed.
*Semblance is an ability that your aura creates, after activation of the aura it creates a Semblance based on who you are which skilled Hunters and Huntresses are able to use in combat, it can be used in a more advanced way by applying dust to the weapon allowing the user to alter their aura slightly. For you chosen candidates we will be applying dust to you in hopes of having a greater effect*.
The flashback caused Chase to lose focus for a moment allowing Pyrrha to get a hit onto him, his aura was able to block most of the damage and he countered by parrying the spear and jabbing her with the other dagger. Yet again he felt a tug causing him to miss. She bashed him with her shield and stabbed with her spear. Chase noticed that she wasn't aiming for him and turned to see a boy with light blue, almost white, hair and pale skin in the exact same clothing as his. He recognised it as himself though more transparent.
*It would appear that your semblance is the ability to alter what a person sees creating an illusion while you are able to see the illusions you create you will be able to distinguish whether or not they are real. This can be used to make the victim think you are elsewhere to making them think they are asleep, depending on what you need*.
The illusion of himself was quickly broke when it was stabbed but it shocked Pyrrha giving him time to land a hit. The force brought her back to her sense as Chase backed away giving him space to think of an illusion to use. He sent a copy of himself to charge Pyrrha while he moved to the side switching his daggers into pistol form and firing at Pyrrha from behind her then sent one towards her and one to circle her while he switched his weapons back to daggers and charged her, hoping she'd take the bait. He felt a slight tug on his daggers and Pyrrha turned to him slamming her shield on his face knocking his aura into the red, ending the match.
As he walked into the preparation room team RWBY greeted him with shocked looks. "What was that" Weiss asked. "Whenever I was attacking Pyrrha I felt my daggers get pulled away from her which triggered some flashbacks and I remembered my semblance, illusions" Chase explained. "Why would that trigger your memory?" Blake asked while Ruby, Weiss and Pyrrha looked at her knowingly. "My semblance is polarity, when I used it to deflect his daggers his aura must've remembered how to use his semblance" Pyrrha explained, further shocking Yang, Blake and Jaune. "How come you never told us?" Jaune asked. "Well I only use it subtly to deflect attacks and if my opponent knew they would be able to counter it. So I didn't want anyone to find out" Pyrrha replied.
"Well Chase is the first person to land a hit on Pyrrha so I think he's able to fight well enough for Beacon" Yang said and everyone agreed with her. "So …. did you decide on a name for your weapons?" Ruby asked impatiently. Chase thought a moment before replying "Frozen mirage, I also remembered why I was infused with dust...".
This time it was Pyrrha's turn to be shocked. "We may have forgot to mention that before you fought him" Ruby said. "Why would someone infuse a person with dust?" Jaune said confused. Weiss tried to explain it to Jaune "Some people believe that it will allow the to use dust more efficiently if they make it a part of them though none have ever succeeded-" "Until now, the people who did this to me believed that they'd be able to evolve my basic semblance with the appliance of dust to the body as Hunters and Huntresses apply it to their weapon" Chase cut Weiss off.
"I'm not sure it seemed like that was your original semblance to me, the way you were using it appeared to be second nature to you." Pyrrha responded. "I don't think that I was using the dust inside of me, there's some sort of block in my mind which I've ignored up until now but it might be my memories of using the dust inside of me" Chase said. "Either way we should report this to Professor Ozpin" Weiss said.
They sat outside Professor Ozpin's office waiting for him to call them in. Suddenly the door opened and a man in a white suit left the office looking at Chase. "Come in" Ozpin called. Chase walked in with Pyrrha, he told them it would be weird if all of them came up to see Ozpin but Chase didn't know the school so they elected Pyrrha to go with Chase as she was ahead in her studies and the most skilled warrior in their year so she didn't need to train as much as the others. They entered and were greeted by Ozpin. "Chase, how are you finding Beacon?". "Great, sir, but that's not why we're here" Chase said. "Straight to business, why is it you're here then?" Ozpin asked. "I've been having flashbacks, the reason I was infused with dust was to enhance no … evolve my semblance to make me more combat efficient" Chase explained. "Does that mean that you have control over the dust inside you?" Ozpin asked his face showing concern for the students if he couldn't. "Well … in a way, the part of me that knows how to use the dust is blocked by the dust so it couldn't be activated even if I wanted to". Ozpin was silent as he thought about Chase's response, "Is that all?". "Well I've also been able to remember my Semblance, the ability to create illusions" Chased responded. "That is great news, you will be able to go through initiation next week" Ozpin said. Chase and Pyrrha left and when they were out of hearing distance he asked Pyrrha "So, how big is this initiation?". "Don't worry they'll just be testing how you work in a combat situation" Pyrrha told him.
Pyrrha brought Chase to team RWBY's dorm and entered the opposite room. As he entered he was greeted by four expecting faces. "Sooo how'd it go?" Ruby asked, breaking the silence. "I'll be going through initiation next week" Chase told them.
They were happy with this news as it meant he would be able to join them after the break as a student. He made his way to a sofa which he assumed would be where he slept. He was stopped by Weiss and stared at her to get her to move. "We still have to get you up to date on class work so you aren't stumped in classes." She told him. The next week was spent cramming everything about Remnant into Chase's head.
A/N: I know this should've been out on Monday but I was stumped on which memory to give him in the fight and couldn't decide what his semblance should be, next chapter will be released on Monday and hopefully chapters will be longer from now on.
