Rize was at the Ripply estate he sees caution tape in front of them.

"damn this sucks," said Rize. It begins to rain. He then sees Judas coming out looking upset.

"Judas," said Rize. Judas sees him.

"Rize I see you heard the bad news," said Judas.

"yeah what the hell happened while we been gone," said Rize.

"This happened last night when we got back he was a good man he was my mentor when I came into the Knights," said Judas.

"is John here?" asked Rize.

"yeah sad he seems void of life so is a dad who grew up with Jack," said Judas.

"hey I see you finally come." said a familiar voice. They look and see King Drazel.

"gramps you're here too," said Rize.

"yeah, I heard the news from Joseph. Jack was my godson after all I disappeared and Joesph took care of Raze for me since he is Raze's godfather," said Drazel. They see Joseph walk out with Cyrus.

"Rize is good to see you again," said Joseph.

"yes Commander you as well," said Rize.

"Since we are here he has assigned us a job," said Cyrus.

"What a job," said Rize.

"Yes, while investigating the scene we saw that Ripply Heaven Scroll is missing so it was stolen. I figured whoever did this is after the Ripple Cutter, one of the strongest swords in the world who once wielded by our family founder Josuke Ripple," said Joseph.

"so you want us to get the Sword before whoever took the scroll gets it," said Rize.

"yes I know where it is located in the Platinum Heights in the mountain where the great Ripply Library is hidden," said Joseph.

"alright we will head out as soon as we can," said Rize.

"I am coming too," said John coming out of the estate.

"ah John…" said Joseph.

"no," said Rize.

"what you let me go," said John.

"yeah this is no revenge mission John it's better you stay here," said Rize. John then comes up and grabs Rize's collar with his right.

"I'm coming even if you say no," said John.

"you think this is what your father wanted," said Rize.

"what the hell do you know what he…" said John before Rize headbutts him in the nose to get him off.

"hey there's no reason for a fight here," said Cyrus trying to break them up. John had blood coming out of his nose.

"you see John revenge is already clouding your judgment you would see that coming," said Rize.

"like I said I don't care if you say no Rize I'm coming like or not," said John. They glared at each other.

"fine then just don't get yourself killed then," said Rize.

"I won't. you worry too much maybe having kids made you soft," said John.

"you leave my kids out of your mouth unless you want me to get violent," said Rize. They both then walk away from each other before a fight broke out.

"jeez things almost got ugly there but Rize is right." thinks Judas.

Rize was at home getting Anna and Alexis up from bed.

"what the big deal it's a Saturday," said Alexis.

"get up alright we got a job," said Rize.

"alright (yawn)," said Anna. They then got dressed while Rize was talking to Lydia.

"I can't believe Jack is gone," said Lydia who is sad,

"yeah I was surprised too," said Rize who looks ticked off.

"what's wrong with you," said Lydia.

"I and John almost got in a fight," said Rize.

"what for real," said Lydia.

"yeah things weren't looking good I was ready to kick his ass once he said my kids made me soft," said Rize.

"John just having a rough time what would you do if Raze would have been killed," said Lydia.

"your right I would be the same I just hope it doesn't eat him up," said Rize.

"you just have to watch him he's still your friends after all," said Lydia.

"yeah I don't want to lose my friend I already went through that and I don't want to go through that again." said Rize.

"you also be safe out there I'll tell Ellie you had something come up but who knows she could be busy helping with Kairi." said Lydia.
