As their Bullhead approached Vale Chase could see another one landing in the centre of town. He looked over to Ruby, Pyrrha and Jaune and signalled the Landing Zone to the pilot.

"When we get there I need you to cover me while I try and stop them from going bat shit crazy"

Pyrrha and Jaune nodded while Chase could see Ruby was grinning at the chance to kill grimm, when they landed the mercenaries had cleared an area of grimm which made landing a lot easier.

"Guys fall back"

"We've got this, why are you guys here you need to be back at Beacon" Shu responded

"No, the dust inside you could take over due to the stress of a fight"

"The what? Dust doesn't have a mind of it's own"

Chase looked back to Ruby, Jaune and Pyrrha and nodded at them signaling for them to take over

"Trust me on this, the reason you get another semblance is because the dust inside you develops it's own aura"

"And how do you know about this?" Otior looked at him intrigued

"Because I've been through it, that's why I went rogue in Beacon"

"So we all have another aura surrounding us?"

"Yes, it takes on the traits of the dust you are infused with, it may be so subtle that you don't even notice"

"That would explain a lot" Shu said calmly

"Anyway you can't use your aura unless you are certain that it is yours or else you give more power to the dust, this also happens when you use your weapon"

"That would explain why it affected you the most, you basically used your weapon all the time"

"I also used the dust aura's semblance all the time as well"

"What is your dust's semblance, we never got to see it?"

"Illusions, my semblance is sensing and to an extent manipulating auras"

"So wouldn't you be able to tell if we weren't using our aura"

"Technically yes, though I don't know how close you are to going insane which is why you shouldn't fight here"

"Alright, but you're helping us with this when you get back"

"I'm helping everyone go through this when I get back, just keep an eye on them"

They ran back to their Bullhead and Chase ran towards the grimm activating his gauntlets and punching a Beowulf, knocking it back. After fending off a pack of Beowulves he searched for the rest. He made his way to Ruby who was slicing everything around her. Once he got close enough to get her attention she stopped.

"We need a plan to get the civilians out of here"

"Pyrrha and Jaune are rounding up civilians, you go clear a landing zone for evacuation while I try to stop them from getting in"

"Alright, good luck"

Ruby grinned and returned to slicing everything around her. Chase though of areas that he could use as an evacuation point and made his way over to the city centre, to the plaza where the first train crashed.

As soon as he got there a horde of grimm turned towards him and howled. Chase simply activated his gauntlets and released his frozen tail and ran towards them. He swung around and punched an ursa activating his fire dust which caused an explosion, killing the nearby Beowulves. He then switched to his ice dust and slammed his hand on the ground, causing ice spikes to erupt and impale most of the grimm. All that remained was two deathstalkers and a nevermore. Chase climbed one of the buildings and jumped onto the nevermore, it tried to shake him off but he stabbed it with his tail to stay on, after which he stabbed his fingers into the nevermore and caused it to explode from the inside. While it descended he tried to aim it at one of the deathstalkers and succeeded, taking down both. As he got off the nevermore the deathstalker swung at him with it's claw, Chase grabbed the claw with his gauntlet, stopping it dead in it's tracks. The beast swung with his other claw but Chase grabbed that one as well, pulling back he ripped off both claws in time to avoid the stinger, he threw one of the claws at the deathstalker while he ran in and dug his claws into the eyes, causing the beast to scream in pain. Chase decided to finish it off by creating and ice spike underneath it sharp enough to pierce the tough underbelly.

-Great, so how do I signal that this is the evacuation zone to the others, they could be anywhere- I might have an idea for that, take out some of fire and water dust Chase did as he said and followed his instructions Right, that should make steam if you channel your aura into it add more fire I would've made a flare but it's the middle of the day. Chase channeled his aura and a red smoke began floating upwards letting Pyrrha and Jaune know where he was. -Ok, you've got to teach me more about dust, that was awesome- There's a lot your people don't know, I guess I can teach you some of the basics.

Pyrrha and Jaune arrived with a crowd of civilians behind them hiding to make sure the grimm couldn't find them.

"Ok guys this area is clear, is that all the survivors?"

"That's everyone who got to safety within the houses….. there were a lot who didn't make it"

"Why the hell would he do this! If he only wanted to take over Beacon then why attack the city, why the civilians?"

"To make it look like we weren't good enough anymore, like they needed him"

"I'll find Ruby, she might need your help Pyrrha to clog up the holes the grimm are getting in through"

As Chase activated his senses he was overwhelmed by the fear of the people around him. -That's just going to attract more of them, I have an idea that might help- he focused more and found Ruby getting overwhelmed by a pack of ursas. Chase regained his vision and looked to Pyrrha

"She's two blocks down and getting over-run, you need to get there quickly"

"Alright, keep these people safe"

Chase turned his attention to the civilians and created some illusions at the other side of a building. He then walked towards them to try and cheer them up to make it harder for grimm to find them.

"What are you guys so afraid of, grimm aren't as scary as they are in the stories"

The crowd looked at him confused and then he made his illusions run walk out into the view of the crowd, they all stood back as they saw a wave of grimm and Jaune prepared for a fight. Chase placed his hand on Jaune's shoulder and whispered into his ear

"Don't worry, they aren't real"

He then stood in front of his fake horde of grimm and punched one causing it to disappear. As he turned back the crowd had got a little less afraid.

"See, they are easy to take down, anyone here could do it"

One of the members of the crowd stepped forward and hit a fake Beowulf causing it to disappear. Then slowly others joined in and soon he was out of illusions and the crowd looked relieved. The airship got there to collect the civilians, Chase shook his head at the pilot as he had to help out with Ruby and Pyrrha.
