When the blast cleared Rize was walking through the wreck of the woods. Judas walked toward him and was starting to remove his armor until he had nothing but his under armor on as they got close they clashed once more and this time the shock wave was able to knock down nearby trees. They kept slashing each other until Rize was able to kick him back by surprise with his left leg into a rock. Rize goes in for a cross slash with his swords but Judas back flips over the rock and Rize slashes through the rock.
"That's nuts," said Judas with shock. Rize goes in and tries to attack with the demon sword and Judas goes for a slash with Ultima and when the blades hit each other the Demon Sword shatter only leaving the hilt and guard with a little of the blade. Rize would then get a cut across his chest.
"Damn it," said Rize.
"It's over," said Judas.
Judas goes for another slash but Rize can tackle him before he hits and they both fall down a hill right at the entrance of Lord Patrick's Abandoned Manor.
"When we get here?" questioned Rize.
Judas gets up and tries to go for a jump attack and Rize dodges it.
"There's no way you can win this Rize," said Judas.
"You underestimate me and Anna. We have become stronger than ever before and I will prove it to you," said Rize.
They see Excalibur start to glow like when she changed before. They are both blinded by a bright light. When the light disappeared Rize was holding a new sword in his left hand. It was a blue sword that looked almost like Excalibur.
"What this? Excalibur became two weapons?" questioned Judas.
Rize would hear a voice in his head which told him what going on.
"No, this is not Excalibur, This is my new Esper Ragnarok," said Rize.
"A second Esper? That is impossible," said Judas.
"Believe it or not but with this new Esper, I have won this battle," said Rize.
Rize lunges at Judas going for a slash with Ragnarok. Judas goes and tries to block it with Ultima, but something strange happens as Ragnarok phases through Ultima.
"What?" questioned Judas.
Ultima would strangely transform back into her human form.
"Ah, what is going on?" questioned Yumi.
"Ragnarok, is it a runic sword?" questioned Judas.
He goes and picks up Yumi and runs into the Manor.
Judas runs through the halls carrying Yumi.
"Hey, look for a timer on you," said Judas.
Yumi looks and finds what looks like a black number counting down to zero.
"What this?" questioned Yumi.
"Ragnarok is a runic weapon. So it can attack our magical attacks. So, in other words, Rize just got an Esper that can deal with our magic," said Judas. "I guess we have one option left once you're free of that seal."
They keep running till the number hits zero and Yumi turns back into her weapon form and Rize catches up to him.
"You had me going there. But it's time I start playing for real," said Judas.
He takes Ultima and stabs the blade into the ground and the scales on the blade start to fall to the ground.
"So, you are going to use Ultima's petals," said Rize.
"That's right," said Judas. "I'm surprised you remembered I had barely showed to you."
"Well, you said was your ace in the hole when your back is against the wall. It must mean I must be too much for you," said Rize.
"Yeah, you are," said Judas with a smile.
The Scales start floating around them and start shooting laser beams at Rize. He starts dodging them with ease as Judas watches and he starts to remember what happened before he and the other knights came to execute Rize.
The knights were in a room and Judas was there with Jack, Raze, Issac, and The Lion Knight. Where they see a hologram of a man who looks cut out and can barely see him.
"Sir Chaos, you have summoned us?" asked Jack.
"Yes, it seems a Devil has entered New Gotham, your order is to execute Rize Alistair," said Chaos.
They all looked shocked when they heard that but the Lion Knight did.
"You can't be serious, sir?" asked Jack.
"You heard what I said. Rize Alistair is to be executed with no objections," said Chaos.
"He my son sir?" questioned Raze.
"This for the greater good," said Chaos. "He will be a menace to society one day when he loses control. He must be taken care of before that happens."
"You piece of shit you want me to kill my little brother," said Judas, who was angry at what he heard.
"Sir Judas," said The Lion Knight.
"What your tone, Judas. This King Drazel's Royal Guard," said Issac.
"You will be the one," said Chaos. "You will be the one who kills him."
Judas nearly lost it when he heard that and had to be held back by The Lion Knight and Issac.
"Sir Judas, if you don't compile then I will have to deal with the Devil and I don't care who gets in my way," said Chaos.
The hologram turns off and they let go of Judas.
"Judas," said Raze.
"He out of his mind. Rize needs to be executed. He my little brother that was dead and he just came back," said Judas.
"What can we do, we are powerless to him," said Issac.
"I don't like it as much as you," said Jack.
Judas starts to storm off and on his way out he punches a nearby pillar and it shatters into pieces.
Judas watches as Rize dodges and uses Ragnarok to disable some petals.
"He gotten stronger," thinks Judas. "What am I doing? When I became a knight I promised to protect my loved one and now I'm fighting my brother, this is not honor."
He snaps out of thought when he sees a red blade beam coming at him and he dodges it.
"You think you have time to space off," said Rize.
"Sorry," said Judas.
