Before The Battles
The Mole goes after them with its huge claws. Mugetsu turns his sword into a giant black scythe and goes for a slash. Rize would go up for a slash as well. The Mole gets cut by both attacks. Mugetsu creates another weapon, a black katana sword, and tosses it over to John.
"Ah, so thoughtful," said John.
He enters the fight and attacks the Mole with a stab attack which makes the Mole step back in pain.
"Finish it!" yells Mugetsu.
Rize leaps up and goes for a plunge attack on the Mole, impaling it in the head and finishing it off. He Jumps down at the finishing blow.
"Good work," said Cyrus.
"It is no demon, just a creature," said Judas.
"At least Mugetsu will be fed for a while," said Mugetsu.
"Hey, why are you in this cave anyway?" asked Rize.
"Mugetsu was getting tired of the bed. So, I came to this cave which I have made my Human Realm Home," said Mugetsu. "This is where the portal brought me when I came here."
"I see, that's how you got here," said Rize.
"Too bad it has moles. It's probably why this place was abandoned," said Judas.
"I found a lot of ores while I had down here and even smelt them down," said Mugetsu.
"Wait, you know how to do that?" questioned Cyrus.
"Of course, Mugetsu's father was a famous blacksmith in his hay day and even taught Mugetsu how to be a blacksmith," said Mugetsu.
"Yeah, I remember a few times I helped with you," said Rize.
"We could use this talent for our guild," said John.
"Hey, that could be a great idea," said Judas.
"Mugetsu accepts this invitation," said Mugetsu.
"Well, it will be a bit, but we welcome you," said Rize.
"Thank you, brother," said Mugetsu.
"Has Lord Azazel spoken with you?" asked Rize.
"Not in a bit. It's really hard to communicate with him from a different realm," said Mugetsu.
"I see," said Rize.
"It will be a while before a portal opens up. I have to go back at some point," said Mugetsu.
"I understand," said Rize.
"If only we can help you," said Cyrus.
"I also wish to join you when the time comes to enter the Celestial Realm," said Mugetsu.
"We cannot stop you. We could be risking our lives here," said John.
"I feel Lord Azazel would want Mugetsu to help Rize no matter what. We Devil are not just legendary demons, we are family," said Mugetsu.
"Fine by me, you already made up your mind," said Rize.
"Thank you, brother," said Mugetsu.
Rize would return to his apartment with Cyrus.
"Man, what a day," said Cyrus.
"Well, nothing like a little adventure," said Rize.
"Yeah, it was like old times when we were kids," said Cyrus.
"I guess we should enjoy every moment we have left before we go. It could be our last time," said Rize.
"Well, I think we got this," said Cyrus.
"Confidence, we going to need it," said Rize.
Rize would go out for a walk, it was the day before he and his companions headed out to the Celestial Realm to fight Chaos not just to save their realm but all the realms the world of Luto holds.
Rize makes it to what his old local arcade was and looks at it.
"It feels like it was yesterday, I was skipping school to come here," said Rize.
"Rize?" asked a Familiar Voice.
He turns to see who asked for him and he sees Azure.
"Great Gramps, I guess you will stay in town for a little while?" questioned Rize.
"Yes, I heard how it has been and hear you be fighting a very powerful foe," said Azure.
"Yes, Tomorrow we leave," said Rize.
"Let's go I want to show you something," said Azure.
Rize would follow Azure where he would take him outside the city where they can see the view of it.
"This was Patrick's favorite spot to come and view the city and would help what to do next," said Azure. "You know Rize out of all of your brothers you are the one who seemed to be the most like Lord Patrick. He was never afraid of any fight against him. He even protects those he never knew."
"Gramps was an amazing person," said Rize.
"I still remember the day he passed as if it was yesterday. Even when he had all of his loved ones around him, he still had this big smile on his face. But it was his last words to me that I could never figure until he was gone, and a few years would go by," said Azure.
"Oh, what was his last words to you?" asked Rize.
"Protect our Legacy," said Azure. "I was so puzzled about what he meant by that but then I realized, he wanted me to protect his children and of course you boys. Someone who took in a lost boy who did not share his blood wanted me to protect his children and their children. I've never been so honored."
"I see in the end, he still viewed you as his father," said Rize.
"Yes, I also wish that one day you would do the same," said Azure.
"Of course," said Rize.
The next day, Rize and the others get ready for their departure to the Celestial Realm. Rize shows up with both Anna and Alexis. Anna was wearing a red dress with black leggings and red shoes. Alexis wore a blue hoody with black leggings with white shoes. They meet everyone at John's Squad office.
"We are here," said Rize.
"Good, we all accounted for," said John.
"Alright, guys. We are going to be viewed as invaders once we get in," said Judas. "So, we will be targeted first thing."
"We also will be separated and that way we have a better chance to reach the Commander," said Cyrus.
"Nightingale has written all of us a letter, we all only get one," said John.
"Hey, Cyrus?" asked Rize.
"Yeah? What's up?" asked Cyrus.
"You take my letter. I am going to lose it if you don't," said Rize.
"Really? Fine at least I will have two," said Cyrus.
"Why am I doing this?" questioned Ion.
"Having second thoughts?" asked Lizius.
"No, maybe one of these celestial bastards knows what happened to my dad," said Ion.
"Just remember our mission is to get to commander and after that, we will fight Chaos," said John.
"What happens if I beat him before we get to the commander?" questioned Rize.
"I guess we would win too," said Mugetsu.
"I would rather have an army to fight him first," said Judas.
Cyrus hands out everyone their letters before they head out to the Celestial Realms. All their Espers transform into their weapon forms. Judas gets out a strange amulet and raises it.
"I hope I see you boys after this," said Judas. The Amulet would begin to glow, and they would be teleported to the Celestial Realm.
