A short period of time has passed since then and Rize meets up with John in the New Gotham Arena, it is night as they stand in the middle of the arena with their Espers.
"What's up? It's pretty late man," said Rize.
"It is time to redeem my favor," said John.
"Oh, so what do you want?" asked Rize.
"Well, I think you know what I want. We were interrupted last time we were here," said John.
"Oh, I see. Do you want to fight me? Well, that is a language I like speaking," said Rize.
They saw the lights turn on in the arena as someone was controlling them.
"What is going on?" asked Rize.
In a room above them was Cyrus on a computer controlling the arena. He even manages to open the roof up for them.
"I just hope we do not get in trouble for this," said Cyrus.
He would not see Judas teleport in the room.
"Well, what do we have here?" questioned Judas.
This spooked Cyrus and falls back in the chair he was sitting in.
"What the hell?" questioned Cyrus.
"You boys could get some serious trouble for this," said Judas.
Cyrus gets back up and places the chair up.
"Yeah, but the boss insists on this," said Cyrus.
"Well, at least we will make this a spectacle then," said Judas.
He grabs a chair and starts to type on a computer near Cyrus' work area.
"What are you doing?" asked Cyrus.
"Oh, nothing just taking control of the cameras as we are going to televise this to the whole city," said Judas.
"What you are just getting us in more trouble," said Cyrus.
"Don't worry. You are lucky your big brother knows some high-up people," said Judas.
Raze was at home making coffee in his kitchen as Drazel and Nightingale came for a visit.
"Well, I did not expect you to visit Father," said Raze.
"Of course, and I am sorry. I did not want to leave my only son and your mother," said Drazel.
"No worries. It not like you had a choice when I was told about it," said Raze.
"It alright. Raze and his wife will tell you what you missed," said Nightingale.
"And I guess I have to get used to you talking as well," said Raze.
They see the Television in the room turn on and they see Rize and John in the arena.
"What this?" asked Drazel.
"Wait this is live?" questioned Raze.
They would be more shocked when they heard Judas' voice commenting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. We come here to an exciting match between two men from the new upcoming guild Qliphoth. A special rematch to find the true champion of the Celestial Tree Tournament. The Devil of New Gotham, Rize Alistair Versus the Angel of New Gotham, John Ripply, said Judas on the television. "What you have to my fellow commentator."
"This should be a good and entertaining battle," said Cyrus on the television.
Raze faced palms with his left hand as he figured out what going on.
"Wait? They are fighting right now?" questioned Drazel.
Nightingale gets a text on her phone from Judas begging her to use her leverage to make sure they don't get in trouble with the DHO from this.
"These boys are going to give me a heart attack one day," said Nightingale.
Rize stretches a bit and gets ready as Anna and Alexis transform into their weapon forms.
"I think we both waited long enough for this fight," said Rize.
John sticks his right hand out and Kacy turns into her weapon form. The wind starts to howl above them.
"Yes, it time we settle who truly is Qliphoth top dog is," said John.
They both lunge at each other and clash with their blades and their battle begins. John goes in for a slash and Rize blocks it with his sword. Rize tries to attack Ragnarok, but John can swiftly dodge it as if he were floating in the air. He would counter and land a blow and cut Rize's right shoulder. Rize goes in with his counter and kicks John in the head with his right foot when he did not expect it. They both would jump back.
"I did not expect you to kick me like that," said John.
"What? I thought we were going all out?" asked Rize.
"Oh, we are. I was just unexpected I guess," said John.
They were both smiling as they both enjoyed fighting each other. They lunge at each other once more and this time John surprised Rize by swinging his blade and a green blast comes out and hits Rize as he knew it was Judas' technique or Drazel's since he invented it. Rize jumps back up and swings both Excalibur and Ragnarok to create a cross-slashed blast which John counters with his blade blast to counter it. Rize prepares for his next attack as he engulfs himself in flames and charges at John. He turns into a giant firebird. John flies up to Dodge since he knows Rize cannot fly like him. John slashes down and creates an enormous blade blast that hits Rize. John looked down from the air as it was full of dust looking around to see where Rize would pop out. He would appear again as he leaped up at John. He swings his sword and creates another blade blast which goes toward Rize.
"Change Ragnarok!" yelled Rize,
Ragnarok changes into her shield form and he reflects the blast back at John and hits him. They both fell down to the ground and they both started laughing.
