Their dominance was uncontested for years until a newly risen [[Guardian]] was sighted attempting to escape the Fallen's territory. The Devils alerted their presence to Riksis after they had killed [[Rahn, Devil Captain]] and stole a [[Jumpship]] meant for scrap in [[Dock 13]]. The young Guardian quickly escapes the [[Cosmodrome]] and the Archon's reach just as his troops fire their [[Wire Rifle]]s at them and miss.<ref name="Rises">'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]'', ''PlayStation 4'', ''Activision Blizzard'', ''[[A Guardian Rises]]''</ref> Later, Riksis acquired the [[NLS Drive]] to bait the Guardian's return and engages them in battle as they try to secure it.
