Beat searches for more clues but he only finds proofs that are useless. They all said the same, a werewolf killed the owner. But then he finds something that could lead to Chase. A little bell. He knows that it'll help because he gave it to Chase in order to find him in the forest. But it could be used to find any werewolf, that bell did a sound that no werewolf could avoid to follow. Beat is sad. He'll have to kill his old companion, Chase. Erina arrives.
-Erina: Beat, you won't like this...
-Beat: Chase is the bad guy, no?
-Erina: Yeah... How did you know?
-Beat: I found a present I gave him. It's the way to find him.
-Erina: Of what you know Chase?
-Beat: He helped me in a case. A vampire was killing people in the forest where the Blue Clan is. If Chase didn't help me, I wouldn't have caught him.
-Erina: So he's one of the few companions that survived.
-Beat: The only one. The others changed of job or died.
-Erina: You still have me near you! It isn't so bad!
-Beat: Thanks.
Beat looks the bell and inside of it there's a paper. It said: Beat, I won't finish the job. I know what Ceasar wants. He wants a war. But with what I did, the procontrol pill won't be made anymore. Now humans will take it out. They won't risk to have another Werewolf killing. And they'll do it in the peaceful way. A war wouldn't help those old bags of meat. Find me where it all started. Do your job.
Beat was truly sad. Yeah, no more killing for Chase. But he had to kill Chase.
-Erina: Now what we do?
-Beat: Return to the forest. Time to finish the job.
-Erina: What!? You know where he is!?
-Beat: Yeah. Thanks to this paper and this bell.

Beat and Erina leave and let the police do their job and they go to the forest where the Blue Clan is and walk to a shrine that was in a cave. Beat uses the bell to call Chase and a big werewolf in its wolf form appears. Erina is afraid.
-Chase: Beat.
-Beat: I know that you were used.
-Chase: You know the price I have to pay. I used Ceasar Winggates for my objective.
-Beat: Then, a 1vs1 it'll be...
-Chase: Why are you sad? I did wrong things, so why to be so sad?
-Beat: Because you were used... I would love to not to have to kill you.
-Chase: It's for the best. And I ain't going to die that easily!
Chase charges to where Beat is, Erina quickly grabs her gun to shoot but Beat pushes her.
-Beat: It's between me and him! You watch the door! If you see a rich guy, stop him!
-Erina: Don't get killed Beat!
-Beat: Not going to die so soon.
Erina goes to the entrance of the cave and Beat is attacked by Chase, who bites the neck of Beat and throws him to a wall. Beat gets up like nothing happened and grabs his gun and starts shooting explosive bullets to the shrine that was behind Chase but also aiming to Chase, he avoids all the shots.
-Chase: Are you trying to kill me or what!? Because I'm still alive!
-Beat: Heh... A hunter never fails.
The explosive bullets explode and Chase is hit by a giant piece of the shrine and damages his back making him almost unable to move. Chase falls to the ground, but then he crawls to get a little bottle that was filled with a liquid. Beat recognizes it, it's a drug that tries to resemble to Beat's power of being unable to die. You cannot die for a pair of minutes but also its said that this drug makes a monster capable to kill things that have high regeneration power.
-Beat: I'm a monster. A true monster. You aren't. If you dare to drink that, you won't see the light of the day anymore. Only a truly person can try to kill me. If you can't is that you aren't enough strong yet.
-Chase: With this, I'll send you to hell! I always wanted to be you! Always! That way I could protect my people better!
-Beat: I warn you. If you drink that, I'll shoot to kill you in the worst way. Stop this nonsense and die. Have some decency.
-Chase: (Laughs) I'LL FIGHT UNTIL I KILL YOU!

Chase drinks the liquid and starts shaping into a wolf without fur but has larger claws.
-Beat: You crossed the line. No regrets for doing this.
Beat grabs from his jacket a grenade and throws it to Chase. It explodes and Chase loses control of his form and a grotesque form of meat is created and Beat shoots a bullet and Chase explodes.
Beat covered in blood goes to the entrance of the cave.
-Erina: He's dead?
-Beat: Dead and no one will recognize him. Never try to have my power, no drink and no relic will give you my power. And with a puny copy of my power, you'll only get me angry. I have my own countermeasures against those who try to turn into a true monster like me. And Chase died knowing that.
-Erina: Beat. You want to rest? Killing someone close must be tiring and painful.
-Beat: Thanks for your concern but I won't be able to rest well until I find Ceasar Winggates for what he has done. He has pissed off the wrong guy.
-Erina: I'll help you to find him! It's unforgivable what he has done!
-Beat: You will be able?
-Erina: I'm a newbie but I'm still alive!
-Beat: Heh! True! And that's something to brag about when you are my companion! But you have to do better.
-Erina: Then give me a chance!
-Beat: All in due time.
Beat and Erina leave to White Hope building.
