Horace shouts at Rize which unleashes a shock wave towards him. Rize felt a huge gust of wind which pushed him back a bit and he stabbed both his blades, so he was unable to be blown back again. Horace lunges at Rize and goes in for a punch which Rize tries to block with his blades, but he is still hit and gets flown back into a nearby boulder and breaks through it. Rize gets up only to see Horace now faster without his armor and axes go and slam his right foot down on Rize. But Horace was shocked when he saw Rize starting to pick up his foot with his bare strength. Rize throws him up so he can get out of the crater made by Horace's foot. Rize gets ready for the next attack. Horace tries to grab him with his left hand, but Rize stabs him with Ragnarok which appears to seal Horace's magic. Horace looks at his right hand and sees a timer counting down.
"Have fun using your magic now," said Rize.
Horace starts to laugh and begins to attack Rize with his fists again. Rize gets hit and flies back into another boulder.
"I do not need magic to fight my battles," said Horace.
He walked closer but saw Rize get up and noticed he was laughing as he got closer.
"I cannot remember the last time, I got my ass kicked this hard," said Rize with a smile.
"Your warrior's blood is finally showing," said Horace,
"Yeah, I got to admit. I have to think outside the box to beat your large ass," said Rize.
Rize switches Ragnarok with the demon sword as he thinks of going all out to defeat Horace. Horace leaps into the air to give Rize a double-foot stomp. Rize gets ready, leaps up in the air at Horace's right foot, and grabs onto it, which makes Horace surprised and makes him fall to his back. Rize runs up his leg leaps up and unleashes a crossed-shaped blast from his sword at his chest which creates a huge explosion. Horace gets back up and grabs Rize before he lands on the ground with his right hand, but he is in pain as Rize bites his right hand. Rize was able to get out and attacked Horace's face with a slash of flames from Excalibur. Horace was blinded by this attack.
"It's time I show you how we do things downtown," said Rize.
He switches the demon sword with Ragnarok. He lands on the ground right under Horace's as he wipes his eyes so he can see again. Rize starts to charge up for his last attack against Horace. He finished and could see again but before he could do anything. Rize leaps in the air where he is engulfed by fire and hits Horace in the stomach. He was out of breath from that attack which made him fall back down.
John and Cyrus were able to infiltrate and were near the Yggdrasil Tree where they had a huge house that was protected by a gate and guards. But the one thing that caught John's eye was a symbol on the gate which was his family crest.
"Who goes there?" asked one of the guards.
"We have come to report to the commander," said Cyrus.
"Sorry, but the commander is busy," said The Guard.
"They are with me," said a voice from behind them
Cyrus and John turn to look and see Azure who is walking up to them.
"Oh, Master Azure. What a surprise," said The Guard.
"Yes, I came to see an old friend and these two were my guides here," said Azure.
"Very well," said The Guard.
They open the gates for them, and they walk through and walk in the house.
They go to the entrance hall and both Cyrus and John unmask.
"Great Grandpa, did you know it was us?" asked Cyrus.
"Yes, I heard you both, and the others have come to stop Chaos," said Azure. "Plus, I am friends with the commander here as well as Lord Patrick was."
"I think it's time we end this fighting. I can feel the others fighting the Celestial Knights and we must prepare to fight the real threat," said John.
They would walk to the commander's office.
Judas was walking a back way to the commanders as he was near the Yggdrasil at its base.
"We should be almost there," said Yumi.
But before he said anything he stuck his right hand out which told her to transform which she did. Judas stood ready with Ultima in hand.
"I see you have failed your mission, Judas Alistair," said A voice.
He saw a black mist form in front of him. He saw a man who did not look human. His skin was pale as a ghost. His hair was a dark purple and spiky. He had black colored eyes, and he wore makeup on his lips and above his eyes which matched his hair. He wore a white suit which had a gold design throughout with black shoes. This man was one of King Drazel's Royal Guard, Chaos.
"Ah, the one man I have been looking for," said Judas.
"You have failed your mission to kill Rize Alistair," said Chaos. "I told you that if you fail, I will take matters into my own hands."
"Sorry, but I no longer work for King Drazel or you. I have come to defeat you," said Judas.
"Then you shall die with him then," said Chaos.
