With Weiss's help as the heiress of a dust company Chase had learned to shape Dust as he released it from the crystal, though he couldn't keep control as he did in the forest. Weiss had told him such a thing was impossible because dust is volatile so he had spent the past week trying to stabilize a dust crystal. While he was having no luck his dust teacher told him that if was able to he would add it to his grade which gave him even more incentive. Beep beep. He looked down at the message on his scroll.

Ren and Blake are at it again in the arena. We need you to come down before they kill each other.

-Nora

While Chase was thankful to Professor Ozpin for bringing him to Beacon and letting him meet team RWBY and JNPR he cursed the man for giving him the responsibility of keeping the two teams from killing each other…..-Wait what!- he slapped himself and looked through the message again.- Ren and Blake are usually stopping a fight, and Nora asking me to stop it rather than joining in, shit- He put away his scroll and ran to the arena to find what he had feared.

"So nice of you to join us" he turned his attention towards a masked woman with black hair who he instantly recognised as Cinder Fall, she had adapted to the dust infused with her the best. He cursed silently, he should've stopped to get his weapons first. However he needed to remain calm, she loved it when her victim was afraid, she used to prolong matches in the arena simply to play with her opponent. As he looked behind her he saw the rest of the experiments. Each looking maliciously at Chase. He knew he wouldn't win in a direct fight, but he may be able to use their anger. He stepped forward and was about to speak when he saw a few of them back away slightly. He grinned remembering what Neo said-They are afraid of me, if only I knew what I did-

"It seems like you're the only one willing to fight me Cinder" He said walking slowly but confidently towards them. "Well I was hoping you'd come willingly and I wouldn't have to embarrass you in front of everyone" She said sarcastically. She knew he lost his memory, but if he could make it look like he hadn't… He slipped a hand into his pocket knocking a crystal of ice dust to the ground -Now's as good a time to test it as any- he created illusions of ice spikes coming from the ground. While most of them dodged the illusions Cinder walked into them "It's just a hollow threat, he doesn't know how to do much else" she said turning to her allies. As soon as she said that one Chase placed a foot over the crystal he dropped focusing enough aura into it to activate it.

Still making illusions he used the dust to create a spike where one of his illusions was causing one of them to scream. "I wouldn't be so sure of them being hollow threats" Chase said, glad that Neo had been excluded from this attempted capture otherwise his plan would've failed. CInder was visibly irritated and used some of the dust on her clothes to create an outburst of flames, burning all the ice Chase had. He was running out of ideas, he knew he couldn't win but if he could stall for long enough someone might come.

"Hows about we make it a fair fight" said a man walking towards him from behind everyone. From what vague memories he had he recognised the voice as one of the lead scientists.-Why risk coming out here just to kill me… unless he needs to be in range for the rest to do what he says, I just need to get someone out of range- "Finally someone realises that you need more people" Chase said sarcastically. "I wouldn't be so sure about that, to me it seemed like you were trying to prevent the inevitable" He said producing something from behind him. "You remember this, don't you" Chase looked closely and saw a piece of clothing, his combat suit. It was made with black leather and looked similar to what Cinder used. It was Woven with dust at certain points giving him a secondary source and was much more practical in battle than crystals. However the difference between his and Cinder's was that he had woven sockets in places around it for hidden weapons and areas on the arms and legs which acted as a blade allowing for close-quarters combat without a weapon.

The scientist handed him the combat suit and four of the experiments led him into the prep room where he changed into the suit, while in there he tested his theory by attempting to leave forcing on of them to move farther from the scientist. For a moment his eyes changed from cold to scared -It's hard to think what they've been put through because I left, maybe it would've been better to try and get everyone out, or at least take more with me-. His friend quickly brought him aside, looking at him anxiously while another pushed Chase towards the exit.-They're afraid I'll do what I did to Cyril- He walked out only to be greeted with Cinder, Neo and someone else that he didn't recognise-So she wasn't excluded-.

"I am a fair man" The scientist said revealing him and the rest watching from the crowd seats "If you can beat these three I will let you go free without bothering you. But if you lose then you come with me". -He still has other people who could take me out if I become tired from the fight, I need to end it fast, I need to deal with Neo first, then I can use illusions to help against the rest-

He ran for Cinder creating an illusion towards the end then switching to attack Neo, while it dissipated in moments it bought him enough time to focus on Neo. He rapidly attacked not letting her take out her umbrella. He couldn't hit her because of her insane ability to dodge and felt something hit him with a devastating force, knocking him to the other side of the arena. He rolled to the side immediately to dodge Cinder's follow up attack putting him on the defensive. He dodged Cinder while trying to figure out what hit him. Beside Neo was the other person who he was meant to fight, he was covered in a sort of rock armour. -If that's what I'm up against he could beat me alone. I don't think I'll be able to even scratch his armour- Chase took out some throwing knives and flung them at Cinder causing her to back up slightly to dodge them. It didn't buy him much time as the rock charged him head first. Chase used some dust to make a wall of ice but it only slowed him down. Chase rolled out of the way but still got grabbed. Pain shot through him as he was slammed into the wall, with the armour still holding on to his neck.

Chase reached into another pocket to pull out some small explosives, he threw them and then braced. It caused the rock to retreat slightly but barely caused a dent in the armour. He brought himself up to see that all three were prepared to attack him. -Desperate times- Reluctantly he accessed the dust within him and allowed it to take over. As he felt a shivering sensation he started remembering his fights in the arena, they had forced them to learn how to use dust to create weapons. As predicted everyone changed, Cinder became aggressive and started enjoying the matches while Chase, he became psychotic, he stopped caring about what he was doing to his opponent and enjoyed their screams of pain. He started acting cold to everyone and forgot his dreams of becoming a hunter. He just wanted to kill people, as slowly and painfully as possible.

His serious expression was gone, what replaced it would give most people nightmares. He was smiling, a wide, toothy and completely insane smile bordering on demonic. Then it was gone, he gave his three victims a mock scared face. "Three against one, that seems a little unfair" Then his face became cold and calculating "How about I make it fair, first hit for free" He leant his face out waiting for a punch. The rock took this opportunity to punch him but his fist went straight through, it was just an illusion. Neo watched in surprise but then noticed something cold behind her. "What's the matter, performance issues?" She turned around to see that insane grin and was able to parry his tail just on time, but her umbrella went right through it, she couldn't tell illusion from reality. That is until she felt something hit her from behind, she was launched to the other side of the arena, knocking her out.

He jerked his arm grabbing the knife as it fell out of a pocket on his arm and blocked Cinder's attack with it. He then grabbed her arm and threw her. While in mid-air she created a bow shooting an explosive tip arrow and landed on her feet. Chase blocked the arrow with his tail but then something grabbed onto it, smashing it.

The pain was too much and Chase began to lose consciousness. he pulled out a throwing knife with an explosive tip and threw it at the boulder-like hand causing him to stagger back. He focussed his aura to try and heal himself faster so he could continue. Using the dust in him was no longer an option but he had done enough to be able to do without. While he couldn't do much to the rock he was able to dodge him easily and looked for a soft spot. He threw a few explosive tipped daggers and which caused his opponent's right arm stopped moving, it just swung limply. He ran in ignoring the arm he took out and took out an energy crystal to try and break the armour by using it like a shotgun. His opponent tilted to the left and the limp arm smashed into Chase who took the full force of the attack without any aura to block it with. Finally he was taken down.

He was lifted and brought to a Bullhead which took off for what he assumed was their base of operations. Just before Beacon was out of sight Chase could see people finally entering the arena -Bit Late for helping me but just on time to watch me leave- He didn't have the energy to even attempt a jump and live, he was doing all he could just to stay awake, making sure he knew his way back, if he ever escaped.

From what he could tell they had left Vale and were in one of the ruined cities that had scattered Remnant. -What better a place to set up your evil organisation than somewhere no one is likely to go-. To make escape even more unlikely they had went deep below the city to what he assumed was an old subway station. Just like above ruined buildings were everywhere, only down here he could see various White Fang members loading up a train. As soon as they landed Chase was dragged towards where the labs were set up. He was strapped to a chair in an isolated room and just left.

While he was in no state to leave right now he spent his time alone plotting how he could. He knew he had a fire dust crystal, 3 throwing knives and a couple flashbangs left in his pockets. If he could regain his aura getting out of the chair would be easy, but where to go from there. His train of thought was interrupted by a man in a lab coat walking into the room. "You lost quite a bit of dust in the fight, while some of us are hesitant about giving you more it will make you more useful for us" The man walked towards Chase and jabbed something sharp into his arm, looking down he saw a syringe filled with a light blue solution.

I'm gonna kill that over-sized lump of shit when I see him again. Chase heard another voice in his head, it must be the psychotic side of him. -If you want another shot at him we're gonna need to get out of here- Pfft, escaping is easy, been there done that, what I want is revenge, you're too weak to ever stand up to these guys. -Maybe to you but, this is my body, here you are the weak one- Don't make me laugh, taking control is easy, tell me, how many fights have you won without my help?. He had a point. -Even so, it'll take more than just you to get out of here, you have no self control. If you didn't lose control in taking down Cinder you would've noticed the guy stomping behind us- Pfft, sorry for enjoying myself. But for now we need to remember the night we left. Our evolved semblance should get us out easily. Chase talked with himself for hours trying to find some way to remember that night, but nothing worked.

A few days of isolation later someone finally came to him. "I'm guessing you've already seen our new invention" The man said pointing towards and earplug, the same one he saw on most of his fellow experiments. "The unfortunate side-effect is that the candidate using it doesn't fight as efficiently, we only use it in cases where we have no alternative. I've been given two weeks to make you obedient or else this goes in" Chase looked at the man in shock. No no no, we are not giving in that easily. -I never planned on it, we just have to be gone in two weeks- I'm starting to like the way you think, we should have enough aura to get out within a week.
