Gate Open

Entering Shibuya

On November 31, at 07:00 PM, a large curtain was cast around Shibuya and many sorcerers are called to the scene. Professionals and jujutsu high students are broken into four teams and briefed on the situation. Meanwhile, the civilians trapped inside Shibuya are forced to call for Satoru Gojo. Eventually, their pleads were met and Gojo Satoru arrives at the scene.

Hours earlier.....

Aki's pov

Ok this wierd ! I clearly showed that I have techniques that could unseale gojo easily, using prison realm would be such a waste of a strong cursed object.

Kenjaku isn't dumb.

He is definitely scheming for something else, maybe another attack rather than the cursed object? MEH, come on ! does he thinks that he can take Gojo in a fight or something ? This is making me anxious, not knowing what would happen next, no wonder the future devil exists. This fear of the unknown is unbearable.

Anyway, I have to go with him at least and spoil him about the sealing, the only reason I didn't so far was because I thought Kenjaku would abandon the Shibuya plan and move into the Culling games.

By the way, I didn't completely watch that arc, it's another story for later.

I made may way to meet with gojo, Yaga's office, where he should be now receiving the news about the incident.

"Next station Shibuya! " as I flunged the door open, only to meet the annoyed face of Yaga and the amused one of Gojo.

"Aki Kamo what did I tell about this kind of barbaric entrance ?.."He sighed as he rubbed his forehead.

"Yoo Aki ~ what are ya doing here ?" Satoru asked, he was sitting while spreading his long ass legs.

I smirked "I'll tag alone !"

--

"You knew about the attack? "Satoru asked, while we're on our way to the scene, suprised from the fact that I was aware of what is going to happen.

"Yes, well I suspect to happen because.....*exhale* they want to seal you using the Prison Realm, also known as Gokumonkyo, is a special-grade cursed object containing a barrier that can seal absolutely anything and anyone in a pocket dimension. I repeat, anything and anyone." I explained.

"Ehh.. don't worry I won't let them seal me, remember I'm the strongest " He replied cockily.

"Augh..no, you would and you're Satoru, not the strongest in this case, since the one behind the plan is a guy named kenjaku, and he is currently using the body of .....Geto Suguru " I said, waiting for his reaction.

The usually happy and sure sorcerer seemed unsure, his vibe changing from being sure to a storm of feelings. At first, he didn't believe it, seen in his frown and his shaky hands. The news seemed not real, too bad to be true. As he realized it, the surprise became a deep sadness that even I felt it.

It was a strong reaction, one that told of the depth of his bond with his friend and the size of the hurt he now felt.

Fuck he was so worked up, no wonder he got sealed, Kenjaku needs one minute of time to pass in gojo's mind, but Satoru seeing his dead best friend flooded his mind with memories of 3 years.

We kept quiet on our way.....

--

The moment we stepped in the train, I felt it. Immense cursed energy hung over Shibuya, thickening the air. The crowd was dense, it was bad, I totally forgot about the importance of clearing the place, talk about a bad start.

"Looks like we're right on time," Gojo said beside me, his voice casual. His sunglasses hid his eyes, but I could sense the tension beneath his calm exterior. Today, he was going to face an old 'dead ' friend. I had to admit, even knowing that, he was handling it better than I expected, or at least so I thought.

The streets were crowded, making it hard to navigate. I took a deep breath, it was time to clear the area.

"Everyone, leave now! That's an order.." I shouted, the effect was immediate. People began to disperse like puppets on strings.

With the area now deserted, the tension grew palpable. "Stay sharp," Gojo warned. "They're close."

Suddenly, the squad made their presence known. Four figures of : Mahito, Jogo, Hanami, and dragon. How tf is Hanami here ? Didn't I exorcise him in the goodwill event? As for jogo, apparently Kenjaku summoned him with Geto's technique after absorbing him.

"Surprised to see us?" Mahito taunted, smirking. "You're not as smart as you'd like to think."

Jogo used his technique [Cursed flames] launching flames in gojo's direction, a useless attack against someone untouchable, I got my share from it. Gojo's reaction to seeing how I got burned to ashes and then healed like nothing happened was one of amusement.

Gojo didn't waste any time. He launched himself at Hanami, his Infinity technique making the space around him expand endlessly. The pressure was immense, the curse's body crumpling under the force until it shattered into nothingness. Just like in the original series, except for the molesting part.

"One down," Gojo muttered, turning to face the others.

I didn't have time to admire his abilities. Mahito and the dragon cursed spirit lunged at me simultaneously. I dodged to the side, my fist connecting with Mahito's jaw, sending him flying. The dragon spat bunch of cursed fishes, but I countered with a mere use of my finger [Bang]

"We have just started" Mahito snarled, recovering quickly. He twisted his body, his arm morphing into a blade aimed at my chest, I parried with a kick. The dragon circled, looking for an opening, but he just got [Bang].

The fight was easy, each blow dripping with cursed energy. I traded strikes with Mahito. We were literally playing with them waiting for Kenjaku to show up.

"Is that all you've got?" I taunted, slamming my elbow into Mahito's ribs. He grunted, stumbling back. The dragon roared, lunging at me with its jaws wide open. I sidestepped, delivering a powerful uppercut that sent it crashing into a nearby building.

In the midst of our game, I heard a distant rumble. A train was approaching, its headlights cutting through the darkness. Mahito's lips curved into a sinister smile. "Perfect timing," he said.

The train screeched to a halt, its doors sliding open. What spilled out was a nightmare. Transfigured humans, but also with normal ones, they were a step ahead and ready my interfering to clear the space.

Smart evil move.

"Gojo, we've got company!" I shouted.

Gojo glanced over, his expression unreadable. "I'll handle the curses. You focus on getting the people out of here."

I nodded "Everyone, move to the exits now!" Untouchable chains that connects between my waist and the heads of others.

They obeyed, they moved as they stumbled toward safety. The transfigured curses were another matter. They shrieked and lunged, their forms nightmarish in the flickering light.

The only viable escape route is now blocked by Hanami's roots and many civilians are pushed onto the railway. The curses begin slaughtering the non-sorcerers, wanting to create a blind spot for us. Jogo and Hanami get closer and activate Domain Amplification in order to get past Gojo's infinity. The strongest sorcerer dodges in time, realizing what the spirits' plan is.

Mahito was relentless, his twisted laughter ringing in my ears. "You can't save them all, Aki!" he taunted "This is their end!"

"Fuck it" I stepped back, there were now additional cursed spirits rather than Mahito squad, two special grade ones.

The train was emptying out now, the last of the humans stumbling out. The transfigured curses were even more. I took a moment to catch my breath, ready to fight the new party.

"Do it" I said, turning to Gojo. He nodded, his expression grim.

The human curse joins the battle, using [Body Repel] alongside dragon Supernova to crush and kill a large number of people. Jogo feints an attack, knowing that our personal limit is to avoid killing civilians with our own hands.

I stepped even further, trying to not get caught in what's going to happen, at the same time trying to locate the additional party.

Satoru activates his [Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void]. He did so for a mere 0.2 seconds, just enough to briefly incapacitate every being on the platform. Within the next 299 seconds, the strongest sorcerer alive had annihilated all the transfigured humans that were released on Platform B5F. Immediately after, Geto activates the Prison Realm.

Now it's my time to shine !

[Cursed technique: Jacob's Ladder]

As I pointed at Satoru, Jacob's Ladder produced a massive pillar of all-purifying light that supposedly completely engulfed prison realm. Once the light faded, my eyes widened in shock upon seeing the cursed object still working.

Suddenly I felt something pierce through my neck, turned to see another version of Mahito. I quickly used [bang] blowing him in half. I stumbled back as blood kept dripping and spilling like a fountain.

The pain was immense and I was even suprised to see myself unable to properly regenerate.

"It runs amoke in you, it'll take a lot of time to heal" kenjaku said. "Do you know that you can make binding vows with cursed objects? " smirking he added.

Fuck fuck fuck... this is fucked up !

"I made one that make it impossible for your cursed energy to effect the object, nor can any technique extinguishment " he paused then said " I expected you going out of your way to evacuate the humans, prepare Satoru for meeting me and your technique extinguishment. Thus, I used another cursed object or rather a talisman "Thabat", it can hold still any entity no matter how strong it is for a whole minute "

I couldn't help laugh in disbelief with wide eyes "I really underestimated you, KENJAKU !" I shouted.

He laughed before adding "Right now Shinjiku is under attack from different curse users and spirits, so you can stay here and fight me for your sealed teacher or go save your people from what Sukuna is going to make "

Gojo Satoru was sealed
