Rize and his Allies plan to head to the Celestial Realm in one week, giving Nightingale enough time to write her letter to The Commander of The Celestial Knight.
Rize was meeting up with Judas, John, and Cyrus in Patrick's abandoned Manor which was the fighting ground of Rize and Judas. He finds them in the entrance area.
"Yo, finally made it," said Judas.
"Sorry, I had to deal with both my Espers," said Rize.
"It got to be rough to have two now," said Cyrus.
"Yeah, it's rare even to get one," said John.
"It's the new one who is a real pain in the ass," said Rize.
"I would say something, but I have watched, and you were the same way. She inherited your rebel spirit when you were younger," said Judas.
"Yeah, I can see how it was for Dad now," said Rize.
"Ah, full circle," said Cyrus.
"So, why do you call us here?" asked Rize.
"Well, since I have quit The Celestial Knights and you guys are probably tired of the DHO after hearing how much crap on the inside, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in creating a guild," said Judas.
"A guild? We still be with the DHO, but we have to put more work into it," said Cyrus.
"That's why we got the best bread winners right here," said Judas.
He points at both John and Rize.
"Plus, they are more popular than ever as they are both co-champions of Celestial Tree," said Judas.
"Well, that's because you interrupted our finals," said Rize.
"Agreed," said John. "But I have to admit, running a guild could be a way we do not have to deal with taxes in the DHO for weapons or men as we can hire independent hunters instead of dealing with full-time DHO Hunter."
"You have a point or worry about insurance for injuries hunters in our squad," said Cyrus.
"It would be a good change of pace and if it fails, we could be dead at the end of the week. When we head to fight Chaos," said Rize.
"I guess we're in then," said Cyrus.
"Sweet, now we have to think of the most important part. What would be called?" questioned Judas.
"Great, it can't be something stupid now," said Cyrus.
Rize rubs his chin with his right hand as he thinks about what they have all been through since he got back.
"How about Qliphoth?" asked Rize.
"Qliphoth?" questioned Judas.
"Well, we are heading for the Celestial Realm where the Yggdrasil is. Why not be called a Tree that is the opposite of a Qliphoth, it's a demon tree that can even grow on the ceiling of caves," said Rize.
"Now that I have context I like it," said John.
"It also why I think this place would make a good headquarters for us and place is not like gramps is going to care if we use it," said Judas.
"Too bad we blew the roof off," said Rize.
"Hey, don't worry about it. She just needs some elbow grease, and she's brand new," said Judas.
Rize hears his cell phone ring in his pocket, so he goes to see his father, Raze. He answers.
"Yeah Dad?" asked Rize.
"We might have a problem. Mugetsu is not here," said Raze on the phone.
"For real? I have no idea where he would go," said Rize.
"Well, he is not in the city as the alarms would be going off," said Raze on the phone.
Rize closes his eyes and tries to sense Mugetsu and feels that he is not far from them.
"I think maybe I have found him," said Rize.
"All right, be safe," said Raze before he hung up.
"You guys want to go on a small trip to see what the hell Mugetsu is doing?" asked Rize.
"Got nothing better to do at the moment," said Judas.
"It has been a while since we explored the property," said Cyrus.
"Since we were kids," said John.
"I guess we will go check out what my demonic brother is doing," said Rize.
They walk and follow Rize so, they can find Mugetsu where ever he is on Lord Patrick's estate.
They would reach what looked like a cave that was not here before and it seems it was just dug up by someone.
"I do not remember this place?" questioned Rize.
"Yeah, it's pretty new," said Judas.
"Why would Mugetsu make this hole?" questioned Cyrus.
"Well, he is in there, so we better go ask why," said Rize.
They head inside the cave to see where it brings them and to find Mugetsu.
They enter Mugetsu's cave which was an old abandoned mine that was there before him.
"To think there was a mine under Gramps property?" questioned Cyrus.
"Yeah, this has been here before our friend made his hole," said John as he looked around.
"He is this way," said Rize.
They start to walk down the mines following Rize.
"So, what do we do when we encounter something that is not Mugetsu?" questioned Judas.
"Rize can manage it," said Cyrus.
"Thanks, brother. It's good to feel needed," said Rize.
They would appear in a place where Mugetsu has been staying as it seems he made a camp. But they do not see him. Rize looks up at the ceiling of the cave and he sees Mugetsu sleeping standing upside down like a bat.
"The Hell?" questioned Judas.
"I guess he likes sleeping in this cave," said Rize.
"I think why is he sleeping like that?" asked Cyrus.
"Mugetsu's species are kind of like bats, and he sleeps like one," said Rize.
"Man, well at least we know, he is not causing people grief," said John.
"I guess we can go tell Dad what going on," said Judas.
But before they could head their way back, they felt the ground shaking.
"Huh? What going on?" questioned Cyrus.
"Trouble," said Rize.
He summons the demon sword in his left hand. They see the wall break open and they see a giant mole creature come out.
"Great," said Judas.
Mugetsu wakes up and sees what is going on jumps down right next to Rize and summons his strange black sword.
"Ah, good morning," said Rize.
"I see you found my cave brother," said Mugetsu.
"Sadly, we have an uninvited guest," said Rize.
"Then Let's show him some hospitality then," said Mugetsu.
They get ready to fight the mole creature.
