#2 — An Actual Final Boss— Not Really

JJK fandom is the only community where have I witness people were inhaling copium to the point of nyada-nyada, it's so ridiculous that's it's sadly hillarious.

_______

"Yuta Okkotsu had been neutralized." Suguru said on the opposite side of Tendō, his ever smiling visual granted him the full ire of the younger Gojo, as he coats his fist in a red aura of his Cursed Energy in response of his rising anger towards the defected Sorcerer.

"Suguru Geto-", "I didn't kill him, just put him out of commission to the point that the Queen of Curse won't appear." Suguru cuts him off and clarify, knowing that it would be wise to not fight Satoru's son even when he was enraged, if anything it will only make it more difficult. "If I had killed him, then this conversation wouldn't have been happening due to you being consumed in your rage."

The explanation serves to defuse some of the boiling emotion inside him, but the fact that Yuta was now tethering between the line of life and death puts him in a high-state of frenzy, he lowers the dark shades to between the bridge of his nose as his red crystals glare hotly at the corrupt monk.

"Most typical shounen would have their rogue rival explain their reasoning of revenge and what not," Suguru chuckled as he referenced a random trope in the middle of an intense standoff, "But honestly, I don't really have any much reasoning to explain.."

"....." Tendō just stood silent.

"Hehe.. Can you imagine the feeling I felt, of killing those non-sorcerers? The way they beg for mercy, to whatever fictional deities that they had worshipped, to beg forgiveness to the two childrens they so CLEARLY about to murder, out of fear and irrationality they couldn't comprehend. That's why the world only needs Jujutsu Sorcerers, we are the only TRUE HUMANITY!" Tendō wheezed at Suguru's resolute expression, the man's relaxed look causing a wrench to turn in the blonde's heart. "I finally realized that I wasn't prepared to just give my everything to these people. They don't care about the lives that are lost in their wake, they just keep on moving every day."

"Thinking only about what others are thinking."

"Speaking like them."

"Just copying the next human."

"In the end," Suguru said. "They're all just FILTHY monkeys," he grinned brightly and brilliantly.

It made Tendō sick that this was his true feelings on the matter. "...Your family as well?"

"I have more than just non-sorcerer parents. It'd be hypocritical of me to not kill them."

Suguru then cupped his mouth from yawning, his eyes opened revealing uninterested-looking onyx irises, "I don't really care for such philosophy play, Tendō. So don't bother trying to lecture me."

"So, what did you feel when you did?" Tendō asked him, eye shaded by his bangs but his gaze locking onto Suguru's frown. "Did you feel right? Did it feel good to just kill people for no reason."

"There is A reason."

"WHAT REASON?! WHAT!"

"Tell me, Tendō, if faced with the choices between saving.... No, siding with those monkeys or fellow sorcerers, would you really be able to choose?"

"Yes."

"... Hmph, I knew your true answer," Suguru sat up and leaned forward, eyes searching the blonde's visible one for something. "You believe in the good in people. You don't believe in bloodshed that, in your eyes, is avoidable. You want to right the wrongs without having to go too far... but I can't," he told him with a small, sad, smile. "Tendō... the world has shown me that its full of flaws and I need to fix what's broken."

Tik

Suguru brought his hand up, seeing that it's surface

Was it sweat?

Was it tears?

No. It is rain, the sky is raining. Dropping down countless of droplet upon them, it was as if the heaven itself was crying in sorrow at their tragic fate. Of how a mentor and their student had finally come face to face, after years of separation.. not for a warm greeting nor a friendly spar... But a fight to the death.

And who ever wins shall emerged as a former shell of their self.

"It.. It must be more than that! You wouldn't just do all of this because of.. I CAN'T ACCEPT IT, WHY SUGURU!?-"

"You."

"You are the one who finally driven me onto this path.", Suguru point at him as he shows a content smile.

"That's why, thank you. Tendō.. For being the one that gives me the enlightenment in my darkest hour." The young man himself stares wide eyed at the corrupt monk, his words impacted him straight to his soul as the implication that HE was the reason for the man he had look up to fell from his grace, that he's responsible as the catalyst of this war.

"I realized now... I finally realized it all!" Suguru laughed hysterically with open arms, at that moment, Tendō felt a massive surge of Cursed Energy from the monk.

Suguru then clasp his palms together, as he directed a deranged smile mixed with bloodlust to the younger Sorcerer.

"So as I say... Let us curse each other for eternity!"

Tendō grits his teeth as his surroundings turned dark in response of a barrier closing in around them, innumerable eyes with varying shapes and colour opened, staring at him from various angles and corner with only one visible emotion within them; Malice, there can only be one explanation for this phenomenon and it is-

"Domain Expansion."

Suguru gave him a one last look before the plane around them manifested the monk's culminated power..

"Night Parade of Thousands Demon."

.

The bright amber eyes belonging to Stelle snapped open with the amnesiac bursting up from her leaning on the wall.

Her breathing was deep and ragged, with a sheen of sweat covering her forehead. Her body shook as her left hand came up and gently patted her frantic chest, trying to regain control over her breathing. Her free hand runs across her smooth grey mane as she felt the adrenaline begin to leave her body.

"T- Ten- Tendō! Tendō!!!!"

The ashen-haired girl frantically tries to find the missing man, her lips quiver as she blurrily remembers a memory of a woman - Kafka! - talking with another person before leaving, which she was sure of was Tendō.

"B- Big.. brother.. Big brother!"

"I told you, Moona is the only one who holds a special place in my heart."A familiar dual-haired disguised Gojo enters while playing with the small fragments of a Baryon shell, accompanying him was a girl a with light pink hair and pink and blue eyes.

She wore a white top with gold buttons that clips to a black choker, as well as a loose pink and blue overcoat, additionally she wore a blue and white pleated skirt with a black vest around her waist, a blue camera attached at the hip, as well as black and blue boots and a glove specifically for archery on her right hand.

"Yes, yes. Satoru. You and your... Moona..." The bright pink-haired girl said besides him, she gave him a deadpan stare before she look forward and her eyes brighten at the sight of Stelle whipping frantically like a lost cub.

"Satoru, look!" She exclaimed and then let out a small whine when she saw Stelle's teary facial , "Aww~"

"Hm-" He follows her gaze and just let out a small 'o' at Stelle, "So, she finally woke up huh."

"You know her?" The pink haired girl gave him a questioning stare, to which Tendō then appears to be contemplating deeply-

"Nope, enggak, nggak, gak, tak, nada, nyet, tidak. never heard nor seen her in my whole life." The man said with a poker face that would make even the most stoic person look like a frowning toddler.

Sadly-

"So you do know her~" The girl, named March 7th, seen through the (Obvious) lie, she teases him and thought that maybe the man was a tsundere.

"Big brother!" Stelle cried as she crashed onto his body, wrapping her arms around him with a tight bound worthy of a little sister. She looks up to him with her tearful eyes creeping the older man out, "W- Where were you!? Stelle... Stelle had been looking for you.. Why did you abandon Stelle! Stupid, nincompoop, idiot! What would mother think of this!"

'...What does Kafka's opinion had to do with it?' Tendō sighed while March was just watching with pure amusement shoning from her eyes.

"Stelle, eh? Such a nice name. Nice to meet you~ March 7th at your service (≡^∇^≡)~♡, you can just call me March~ ♡'･ᴗ･'♡" The pink-haired girl introduced herself with a cheery twirl, while Y/N was left scratching his head confused by something.

Unfortunately for March, Stelle was too busy with the sole male In the room, nuzzling into the latter's chest as he tried to unlatch her to no avail.

"...So you both are truly siblings?" March asked, looking at how clingy Stelle is to her companion as March stared in surprise.

"No, I told you I didn't know her." Tendō retorted as he tried to do his best making Stelle let go-

Ck-Click!

"...What are you doing?" Tendō then demanded, looking at the camera in March's hands.

"Can't miss taking a photo of this adorb moment!" The girl replied cheerfully.

"Delete it"

"Nuh uh!"

"You will delete it this instant right now, March 7th. I will have-"

"Stelle~"

"Stelle- No wait!" Que a tight hug from the grey haired girl, "Urgh.."

"A- Nyway~! This space station was and is being attacked by the Antimatter Legion. Me and your Onii-chwan~ (Tendō: Tsk..) came to help with the rescue with the request of the Lead Researcher Asta."

"Antimatter Legion? Asta? Onii... Chan?" Stelle tilts her head cutely in perplexed.

"The legion are Just some small goons owned by the Destruction. You're lucky that the most dangerous Lord Ravanger isn't around, just some EZ small exp farms." March answered with a casual and dismissing wave, "We'll take out those invaders soon enough, so don't worry much."

"Who is Asta?" Stelle asked again, remembering one of the mentioned name.

For some reason her mind wandered for a brief second, of a boy screaming to the heaven something along the lines of becoming a Wizard King... And also of a blond-haired orange clad ninja, which radiates the same energy and vibe as the previous one, if not older.

"A petite cutie with pink hair, just like me! Surely you must at least know or heard- (Stelle: Nope), O- Okay... Madam Herta appointed her to be the acting Lead Researcher of this Space Station (Stelle: Ok). " March gave Stelle a small disbelieving look that translated to 'Did you live under a meteor?', to which Stelle just look back with a blank look and cementing her truth about not knowing zero shit.

"...Dayum, that gal really needs to step up, I can't believe her own employee doesn't even know her name... Or you were truly living under a space rock... That's kinda sad on another level." March stated with a small sweat, dumbfounded on how Stelle didn't know Asta since she was always seen in the center of Master Control, overseeing and giving out orders to Researchers alike when necessary.

"Then where should we go?" Stelle asked her, her form still latching to the only male.

"Back to the master control zone. Asta and the others surely have gathered there." This time, it was Tendō who answered with a small grunt.

He glance to March and gives her a stern look, which "I trust that you have the access key... Right."

"A- ahahaha.. Sp- speaking of which, I still don't know how did you figure it our that I have it with me.." March gave him a curious yet suspicious stare, her blue eyes searches for any sign of from those blasted stoic, perfect, handsome..—

'Gaaahhh!! What's wrong with me!?' The pink head screamed internally for bearing that line of thought, so what if the man has an otherworldly beauty, it's not like he's.. Good, right!?

'This must be a witch craft!'

"The same way I know your panties are strip pink." Tendō nonchalantly dismiss her probe, he then raises a finger as if to tell stop; "Before you ask, no. I'm not a pervert, you're just too careless."

The man walks first, passing the embarassed red and fuming archer while Stelle appear to be silent before quickly snapping out of her reverie to catch up to her brother. On the way he stopped and throws an object behind him, with fast reflex she caught the long and hard with her soft hands and then looks back up at Tendō who's giving her a one last glance before resuming his trek.

"Take it." She looks at his retreating figure as he continues to walk without slowing down, she opens her mouth but the white haired man was already talking by the time she was about to say something, "You will need it in the future to come than I do."

Stelle looks to be contemplating his words for a moment, before she shooks her head and quickly catch up to him, leaving the only occupant alone to stares with blank look.

"....They just forgot about me, didn't they." The pink haired archer muttered.

Change of Scene:

________

The trio walked through the corridor which virtually looked the same no matter where they went but they soon entered a large room with multiple pedestals displaying objects within them.

While Tendō appears disinterested, Stelle remained stubborn clunging onto his arm.

"This is where Madam Herta usually stores her fancy little gadgets as a collection." March explained wh, "Kind of a waste if you asked me when you see them just sitting here without being use."

"Better in her hands then a person with greeds...?" He commented before trailing off.

"I guess you're right, never really thought about it much... Satoru? What's wrong?" The archer then asked, noticing the man was staring at a display.

Unlike every other items floating on the pedestal, the object floating in front of Tendō looks the most unordinary compared to the others, it was a dagger with a jitte-shaped blade. It has a hammer-head shaped circular hand guard that points out on the side of the longer blade. Additionally, the weapon has a black handle with a circular link at the end. It appears a third blade may have been located on the front of the weapon but it has evidently been broken off.

Without any warning his Six Eyes activated itself, memories of buried past came rushing to the forefront of his mind like a broken dam, his eyes shut behind the dark glass and his molar grinding to their hardest at the sudden pain of countless images and experiences being

"...天逆鉾 (Inverted Spear of Heaven)" Tendō muttered with small reminiscent, as he then uttered the name of the greatest Assassin that once was the bane of Sorcerer. "Toji... Zen'in..."

"Tendō?" Stelle said, pulling on the man's arm which immediately broke his thoughts.

"You okay? Seems like you're familiar with it?" March inquired albeit with small concern at his visibly tenseness.

"No.. I just felt... Nostalgic." He answered vaguely, his eyes trailing over the dagger with small distaste.

"Nostalgic?" Stelle repeated with confusion at her 'brother', wondering how could a simple random weapon.. Okay maybe not so simple with the branch-like design, but how?

"....It's nothing special, we should move on." Tendō said as the group continued walking with the man sparing the legendary Cursed Tool a one last glance.

They soon approached another locked door which March then walked up to the terminal besides it, with its screen in flashing red, the pink-haired girl tapped a few buttons on the small monitor attached to her wrist, turning the terminal green which opened the door.

Both of them followed March only for Tendō suddenly grabbed March and Stelle by their hems before leaping back just as a Voidranger: Reaver slashed down at where they stood.

"Great." The sorcerer releases them as he sighed in annoyance at the re-appearance of another Legion, "Just what I need, weak vermins."

"I forgot we're still in the tutorial!" March exclaimed indignantly before nocking an arrow, "Eat this and rethink your life decision, you wanker."

Ptchu~!

Stelle wasn't idle as she quickly dashed forward towards the enemy with March's arrows shooting past her which provided an optimal distraction and pain for the Voidranger, allowing the ashen haired girl to smash her bat right onto its chest first.

The Voidranger was launched back from the force, before it was grabbed by the back of their head, zooming back it was Tendō as he raises them into the air easily.

"Pathetic." Creak! Krak!

He drops the beheaded piece onto the floor, the headless body then stumbled before it lifelessly collapsed and fizzles out.

He then turn back as his ears picked up the sound of something flying through the air and fast and straight towards March's head, he merely point his palms up and shots an invisible repelling pressure that deflect an incoming violet arrow which could have killed March there and there.

"Repel."

{Narrator: Cursed Technique Reversal - Repel, is the application of the concept of the inverse force where it pushes away objects and mass, additionally this abillity was also generated from reverse cursed technique as opposed to negative cursed energy just like it's predecessor technique. Alongside that, it used the aspect of Divergence - Red without summoning the orb itself, producing a strong repelling force with a mere open gesture.}

Before any of them realised what just happened, Tendō caught a pair of hooves of a giant creature with his hands, which he then pushed off with ease as he took his time to look at the new attacker in front of them.

Unlike the previous Reavers, Baryons and Distorters, this new Antimatter Legion foe was one that appeared to grossly mimic that of a centaur with spiralling horns jutting out all over its body and a large shield-like protrusion growing out from one of its forelimbs.

"Hoho... Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle atleast will not be boring!" Tendō cracks his knuckle in anticipation.

"That's the Antimatter Legion's Trampler, one of their elite troops." March warned as she appears weary.

"That so? Then you take care of the Reavers, I'll take it on." Tendō stated with a growing serrated grin, prompting his companion (Minus Stelle) to stare at him in disbelief.

"It's a boss, B-O-S-S, I get that you're super crazy strong just like when I found you. But what could you could even do alo-"

Just as March was about to finish her sentence, she stopped when she felt it.... Silence. Pure silence, as if dreading to look back yet due to curiosity she dare herself and-

Death.

"This is one of their elites?" Tendō inspects the Trampler's head on his hand, he crush it by between his palms. "Ants are more entertaining to play with than this losers."

As if that wasn't enough, multiple Distorters shows up around them in the air, completely surrounding them with their vast numbers.

"There's too many of them!" March nocked her bow, but just as she was about to launch an ice arrow she was forced to once again, be speechless as all of the Legions simultaneously fell down. Having been decapitated in one single brief moment.

And the culprit seems more like he's dissapointed rather than being proud! What the fu—

"A- Uhugh!" She felt a harsh pat on her back, she glanced and saw Stelle looking smug as if she was proud of what her brother just done.

"I- I.. I'm so done with this shit, let's just go to the Master Control.." March sulk and then walks sluggishly with the

Line Break

"Hi-me-koooo~!" When the view of a red haired woman appears to greet them, the pink archer wasted no time to instantly jump and hugs her as if her life depends on it, all the while tears were flying out of her eyes.

"What is it, March?" The woman - Himeko - cradled the girl, as she attempts to console the archer's distress. Noticing the extra guests she then looks at Tendō and Stelle.

"I can't take it anymooore~! The author is just trying to make us irrelevant to the story!" March buried her face to the older woman's voluptuous chest as she let's out her frustration, she then looks up to Himeko with watermarks staining her youthful features; "It's like.. It's like... W- I- I'm- No! We are side characters!!"

A bit confused, the redhead then looks to Tendō, her vermillion orbs conveyed it's message in asking for context.

"You can guess yourself, No trouble." Tendō answered with crossed arms which was enough implication as the red-haired woman sighed.

"March, you'll need to be more careful, I've already lost count of how many times I said this to you." Himeko chided the younger girl as the archer just pouted.

"Hey! It's not my fault that the new guy came out crazily strong, what must I do as a guide to be sidelined, i'm supposed to be cooler right?!" March bounced to her normal self and exclaimed, ignoring Tendō's unimpressed look as she pouted and looked at the other tagalong.

"Nah." Stelle stated bluntly.

Meanwhile, the sole male quietly gazed at Himeko with a indescribable expression on his face.

The moment his eyes laid sight on the woman, his vision swirled yet there was no tears to be shed for he knew not of the situation behind his missing memories, his mind raced with multiple images flickering by yet he remembers nothing still except for the present emotions.

The most he felt was nostalgia, and sense of camaraderie...? But most importantly, pain.. Pain.. Pain.. PAIN!!!!

It got to the point his vision was all washed in red, literally.

'There's something wrong with me... Objects of the past I could understand.", Tendō rubbed his bleeding eyes under the glasses with his sleeve, not noticing that a certain girl was staring at him with obvious concern, 'Yet who is she.. Why is the Six Eyes violently giving me these memories, I know for sure that i've never meet her in my life..? '

"Let it go, March. As long as you're not hurt... but speaking of which, who are these two lovely little ones?" Himeko asked, turning to Tendō and Stelle.

Tendō, feeling affronted and slight at his pride being called 'Little One' opens his mouth to say, but he was tad late in that course as Stelle already

"He's my onii-chan. And he's onii-chan."

"A- Ahahaa!" March laughed awkwardly as she then immediately took control, "Stelle's brocon aside, his name is Satoru Sugawara, he's Stelle... Apparently the grey haired cutie's big brother, and he works as.... The only Janitor in this station."

"Is that so..." The older woman hummed, she took a step and inches her face closer to 'observe' him secretly hoping for some reaction, unfortunately for her the man instinctively retract back as he gave her a strange look.

"Gh. Weird tomato." Himeko's eyebrows twitched briefly at his statement, she then pulls back with a frown.

"You know, it's rude to insult a lady."

"It is. But unless you're a Knight of Beauty then chivalries are dead anyway."

"...Clever boy." She filed this small banter, the fact that he mentions the faction of Beauty pique her interest, no ordinary person, especially a Janitor from Earth could know about the vast parties across the cosmos.

Then there's the fact that March mentioned that the other - Stelle! - name calling of him, Tendō. There's only one man who bear that name, and he is the only universal criminal with the highest bounty, surpassing all the bounties even the other Hunters, if all of the wanted criminals were gathered into one room and all their head price were combined into one.

Then they couldn't even compare to a tenth of Y/N Gojo's bounty.

'Satoru Sugawara... Or is it... Tendō Gojo?'

Unknown to to the resident albino, his true identity had just -Inadvertently- been slowly exposed, albeit not due to him. And as the journey progress... Can he still kept such secret?

So much for just a second chapter.

"Umm.. Himeko?" The woman in question direct her gaze to the younger girl, the archer was for once was looking shy as she appears to

"They both got nowhere to go, and I doubt they will much help, more like annoyances to the researchers onboard this space station so can we please take them??" March pleaded.

Meanwhile, the sibling in question;

"...Onii-chan, are we lost?" Stelle questioned beside him.

"No Stelle, we are not. Also don't call me Onii-chan." Tendō interjected with a deadpan.

"Big brother?"

"No."

"Kakak?"

"Tidak."

"Hubby?"

"...Are you trying to give me severe aneurysm?"

"Daddy?"

"That's even worse!"

"....Nii-chan."

"...You won't stop even if I asked you huh. "

Shake, shake

"Fine. Call me whatever you want... Just not Daddy or.. Or that hubby thing! I forbid it."

"Okey~" Wiggle, wiggle.

"Ara, look at you two adorable siblings, such closeness."Himeko voiced out, her tone laced with visible amusement before it died down and replaced by more serious one. "But unfortunately, let's not stay here and risk attracting the legion, come now. Asta was quite worried for all of you."

"As for your question, March, I believe it depends on their own choices." She added, her tone was laced with knowing as if she knew what the outcome will be.

The group then made their way towards the Master Control Zone where most of the higher authority figures stood in shelter with a lady with bright peach-coloured hair donned in an elegant dress staring at the huge sphere covering the station with a layer of orange hexagonal lines.

"Projectile radar tracking, normal! Telemetry signal frequency unusually high! Everyone, maintain it at normal levels! Our measurements predict that the Legion is about to unleash over ten waves of continuous attacks! Damn it all! Everyone, prepare!!" Asta announced.

"Asta! We're back~!" March 7th called out to her, as Tendō merely stood on the backline while Stelle gazed around the area with wonder at the technological advancements.

"Glad to hear you're safe- Oh, you must be Satoru Sugawara right?" She noticed the (Fake) janitor "Arlan had told me what happens at the storage zone and how you had escort him, I'm grateful at you for your help." Asta said with a tired yet sincere smile.

"Even if you're complete strangers who've woke up in the wrong place and time, for you both to make the effort to help us, you have my gratitude." She added, looking at both Tendō and Stelle.

"Sadly, in times of disaster, I realise more and more that the space station's researchers are its most valuable assets... alas, we were ill-prepared for such emergencies... we should have built up our securities and combat departments." She added quite dejectedly.

"What's the current situation on the space station?" Himeko inquired as the Lead Researcher answered back immediately.

"Everything is under control for now, thanks to you all. The damage to our security system was minor and the intruders only managed to alter a small amount of data so fixing it was nothing."

"However, the real problems lies with the researchers, they trust Madam Herta wholeheartedly and never thought that the space station could, let alone be breached by the legion... a broken spirit is far worse than a broken body." Asta added again.

"Then let's go speak with the researchers. Right now, this space station cannot afford any more unexpected turns and twists, especially from within. Have you tried contacting Herta?"

Himeko asked but only received a despondent sigh from Asta who replied back.

"I've sent multiple letters, all met with silence. You know her, Himeko, this entire space station is but a mere warehouse for followers and rare items. She doesn't really care about it."

"I knew it. No matter, I'll also send a letter to Herta and inform her that we've brought the rare items she seeks, at best that might garner her attention." Himeko responded.

Suddenly and abruptly, countless holographic screens appeared with

warning signs on them as a titanic monstrous claw slammed onto the forcefield surrounding the space station which gradually ruptured its way through with violent tremors shaking the whole foundation.

The screen in front of Asta flickered on to revealed gigantic draconic creature attacking the forcefield around the space station which prompted the former to turn the Nameless.

"Take the Express and leave, now!" Asta ordered.

"I'll stay." The Lead Researcher stared at the screen with her firm stance.

"But..!" March 7th began but only for Himeko to place her hand on the archer's shoulder with a shake of her head as she grabbed Stelle's hand as well before running off.

"Let's go!" She said as March regained her composure, glancing at the place one more time before catching up with her team.

"You. Are a noble woman, Asta." The albino janitor who stays briefly suddenly complements her, surprising the head researcher as she could feel his tone being sincere, feeling a bit flustered she could only responded to such statement with gratitude and also confusion.

"I-.. Thank you?" Tendō nodded before he turns around and follow his group's trail.

Change of Scene

_______

The group are now standing outside a door, having evacuated the area upon Asta's orders while getting rid of any stray Antimatter Legion troops, Himeko then stood in front of the group as the de facto leader for the small team.

"...We've lost communications." She said as the comms blared out statics endlessly, she then turns to the group and grimly concluded.

"Going back there is out of the question especially with that thing attacking, that's the Antimatter Legion's celestial devourer and we can't really spare any time right now." Himeko said with a cold tone.

'If I didn't see it myself, I would have thought it was just a bluff due to their smaller stature compares to the celestial bodies..' Tendō recalled his experience while in the hunters, witnessing just how deadly the hooligans of Nanook could be when they're crazy... Which they always were.

Kontgryylo, or TYTYD-69 was an example of their 'Devastation'.

"Woah?" Stelle just tilt her head to the side, a bit confused.

"This space station is Herta's, so.. As long as a Lord Ravager doesn't directly or even indirectly act then we should be able to manage but in the worst possible case scenario, we will be forced to leave the Station before we're caught in the crossfire." Himeko explain to her with a grave filled tone.

"H- Himeko... how can we just leave like that..?" March questioned with conflict, "A- Aren't we here to help..?"

"Little March, as much as it pains me to say this.. The Doomsday Beast can easily tear through the barrier surrounding this place like paper, that's not an easy feat considering WHO designed such thing. Even worse; Herta is not here, the station's defences right now are too weak to handle the Invasion."

"Bu-" March attempted to reason.

"March 7th. The Astral Express aren't meant to participate in a war." She laid the harsh reality, crushing the poor girl's hope of aiding the Station.

"Are you sure?" Tendō asked, getting Himeko's attention on him, surprisingly the man's gaze held a veiled tint of disgust though it was concealed behind those dark glasses, so one could only guess he's upset from his tone, "You would really abandoned everyone here just like that?"

The red haired face him with a blank visahe, and the atmosphere was enveloped dense with tension, the onlookers could only watch as they

"We must hurry and get out of here. I'll explain it to you two later." Himeko finally said, soon turning around and began to run.

The entire group had decided to head forward to leave the supply zone. However, the Legion was there, so as they ran, they fought the Legion, with Tendō helping out the most. Soon they reached the door leading to the Railway station and they then proceeded to arrive at their designated location with the scenery of outer space greeting them as they looked around for signs of the Astral Express only to find nothing,

"There's nothing here." The albino said as he surveys the whole station.

March suddenly ran ahead of the rest of the team before turning back

"The Express has to be nearby! Let me take a peek with my sharp eyes." March said, running to the platform.

"C'mon, slowpokes!" She shouted as Tendō's senses went haywire causing him to shout.

"MARCH, GET THE F***- WHA- JUST GET BACK HERE!"

"Eh?" The pink-haired archer uttered out before a massive gust of wind suddenly pushed her forward, almost knocking forward as she turned around.

Only for them all to see the Doomsday Beast itself flying around them in circle, like a predator encroaching their prey, cornering them.

"The Doomsday Beast..." Himeko muttered as she grips the handle of her drone/weapon suitcase.

Everyone started to prepare to fight the Doomsday Beast as it came crashing down and when it did so, it let out a big roar.

"We're too late-" Himeko began but the irate archer cut her off as she nocked her bow back in irritation.

"Hey! You stupid lizard, get over here!" March yelled as she aims it at the flying beast.

The Ender beast of Antimatter Legion roars in retaliation as it flew towards the group, landing in front of them as it smashed its titanic claws into the platform which kicked up a massive cloud of dust and wind before roaring at them.

"Wait a second, March!" Himeko yelled out, gaining March's attention before she could get close more as a claw swipe almost tears her inches when she stopped.

"What an unsightly vermin.." Tendō mutters with distaste.

Nipping his palm until it bleed, everyone's focus drawn up towards him as he then runs towards the dragon with a red stick.

{Ratio Technique}

Tendō's eyes gleamed sinisterly as his blood stick shown a sign of fracture, but he kept stabilizing it with more output and then-

{Cleave!}

{Narrator: By combining the two different Cursed Techniques in one single aspect, Ratio to generate instant weak point from the ratio point of seven to three, aided with Cleave ability to adjust it's strength to the objects it's targeted the results were instantaneous.}

The giant multiple wings on the beast's back was instantly severed from its root, and the 'Core' floating in the middle of the Doomsday beast's body suffered a giant slash that leaves it cracked on the outer cube shell.

March: Whoa!?

Normally, combining two different Cursed Techniques into singular attack are downright impossible however, one can sacrifice something in a strict binding vow to enact the unthinkable, but as always the price of such thing tends to be.. Severe, even for Tendō's calibre.

"Gurk....." The albino sorcerer grunted as his vision blurred for a brief instant, shaking the irritating pain he then descends full force to continue his next follow up.

"Phase." With an unending force, Tendō drops down with an axe kick that shatters the armor that makes up on the beast's right arm, "Paramita.", red light starts to formulate into a singular small ball on the tip of his finger, "Pillars of Light!."

"Divergence."

He then point a finger at the ender bringing dragon's limb, "Red." Bang! The tiny red orb explodes, causing a shattering-like sound to ranged loudly and it then limply hang from its socket.

Just as the Doomsday Beast was howling painfully- preoccupied with Tendō's attack, Himeko lunged forward and slices into the monster's arm repetitively with her case-turned saw, dealing enough damage on one spot to cut through the beast's shell.

"Niceu, you two! Now, why don't ya check out this awesome move!" March shouted as her bow condensed with an misty hue.

Tendō then leapt back as he avoided the other arm slamming down at where he stood, flinging another Red, Himeko orders him to regroup as they then retreated back to allow March to jump up into the air before releasing a hail of ice and crystals in the shape of miniature humanoid bunny, smashing onto the Doomsday Beast with fracture started to spread even more across its body.

All the while Stelle wasn't idle either as she then dash and took the weakened limb, the grey haired amnesiac reeled back both her arms and then smash her bat with all her might onto her target.

Crash!

The team's simultaneous assault on their adversary had caused the Doomsday Beast to suddenly break and then lean against the railway platform in a daze and pain, something which Himeko took the opportunity to have the rest retreat once again.

"What's she going to do? Rain fire from above?" Stelle asked, remembering how Himeko's attacks somehow had flames accompanying them.

"Uhh...." March began, pointing Stelle to the said woman.

"Fufu.. Why don't i show it to you~" The redhead chuckled at the girl lucky guess, glancing back as she snapped her fingers.

...

..

.

Tendō: ....Was something supposed to happ-

The Sorcerer snaps his back to the sky, where he saw a floating object- Satellite, opening up it's body and slowly turning towards them- The Doomsday Beast- who was none the wiser of what's about to come.

Tendō: ...Is that..

Stelle went starry eyed as she gaze at the doom-bringing object, her mind conjuring up a certain thoughts;

[Stelle's Imagination]

It was a beautiful day outside.

The stars are shining.

And there's a huge armies of Antimatter Legion marching toward Stelle, the girl was standing proudly with her elegant dress billowing from the wind.

"With this sacred treasure..." She intoned lowly.

"Rules...ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN! ! !" The gray-haired girl, who self-proclaimed as the Galactic Batter, initiated orbital strikes toward the enemies while blasting the volume of the background song called 'Wildfire' up to eleven!

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[Imagination Ends]

"Mankind never conceals its true desire to dominate the heavens and beyond....." The center of the satellite began to charge up its energy, building up the appropriate power for an orbital strike.

"And I. Am no exception to it." She declared proudly as the satellite shot a beam of pure laser that slams upon the Doomsday Beast's back.

A gigantic explosion rocked the platform as Himeko's orbital laser blasted its target, tearing through its defences but unfortunately not killing it but the damage was still significant.

"....That went from 100 to 1000 real quick." Tendō commented the destruction with a deadpan and small sweat, "How the Station still survived.. Game logic."

Both amnesiacs' attacks pushed the Doomsday Beast's claws apart which fully exposed the core floating in front of its chest and completely unguarded, which Tendō instantly seize the chance to chant out verse of incantation as behind him two orbs of opposite spectrum starts to manifest from right to left.

"{Nine Ropes.} {Polarized Light}. {Crow and Declaration}. {Between Front and Back}..." Tendō began to recite the incantations required for the amped ultimate technique of Gojo clan, the attack that could erase technically almost anything as it brings the concept of motion and reversal into reality, thus creating an imaginary mass that neither pulls nor attracts.

Why would he just decided to use an ultimate attack this early in the story? Simple, he's not Satoru Gojo.

If Satoru Gojo was renowned for being to love playing with his (Unfortunate) foe, then Tendō Gojo was for his swift and instantaneous execution with brutality and also overkill short of work.

It released another roar, this time even more than before which caused the whole group sans Tendō to grip their heads in slight pain as their ears rang from the sheer volume of the roar as its soundwave blew them back several steps.

The central core in front of the Doomsday Beast started to glow vibrant with power, thrumming heavily as they felt a surge of energy converging around it before it then shots out to the ground, nearing closer towards the silent man.

March: What is he doing standing there!? Y/N GET OUT OF THERE!

Tendō didn't moved, even as Stelle's was but a mere moments from him.

"Tendō!!!" She shouted, seeing the beam of pure energy about to hit the man, she took a quick act and leapt at him, her hand pushing Tendō away from the blast, at that moment a spark of relief briefly sooths her mind before her sensed are assaulted by pain wracking her entire body as the lasers tore into her, losing her consciousness as the light on her eyes dimmed.

'Where am I..'

{{I must go now... And this.. Is what we call, farewell.}}

She heard a voice, a collective of them, yet she recognized it very clearly as Kafka's as she drifted amidst the void with nothing but the distant specks of light.

{{Now.. You and your brother must go through this trial}}

She felt a spark, a flicker before a golden light filled up his vision and the stars seemingly darkened to accentuate the upcoming light, as it formed into a giant male towering even the biggest planet.

{{But.. There will come a time where ***** will not be there for you.}}

The giant has long white hair with brown skin and golden eyes. A giant scar, along with multiple smaller ones, is seen on their chest as golden liquid seeps out, a quarter of their arms are floating, and that half their lower body is golden flames and black vapors.

{{The day where you must overcome the obstacles without anyone's helping}}

'Kafka' said, the voice spoke almost soothingly even as she felt the infernal gaze of the giant male drilling onto her pathetic existence. The girl trembled as various image of memories flooding her brain coupled with the immeasurable searing hot pain filling her body.

{{Where you must rise to the top so as to prove that.. You're worthy of it.}}

The Ruin Author didn't said anything, for there was no words to be spoken, she felt something entering her core, the Stellaron residing within her.

{{Prove to me....}}

Her body burns even more yet this time there was no pain, she felt the heat instead being absorbed and the Stellaron within her integrate with another power unknown to her.

{{..To everyone...}}

As quickly as it had happened, the Ruin Author's gaze had ceased their brief glance onto her, just as quick as she felt the world around her started to fade away slowly.

{{Remember.. You.. Y- You.. Must...}}

'Kafka's' voice distorted even more and stuttering as if something was preventing them back.

{{..Run.....}}

But at that final sacred moment, another voice instantly interrupted as this time, even The Destruction itself now stare at the newest guest.

{{{ S̸̻̦̬͍̏̈́̇͘ţ̴̠̻͚̳̝͊͆̆̅̉è̸̥̯̖͈l̴̮̥̲̗̣͚̙̞̄͠ľ̷̝̘̱̪̖̔͒̑͌̒̚͠e̵̮͎̙͉̝̖͌̕ }}}

Although she couldn't 'see' who or what the one who had talked, she could feel an overwhelming sense of dread and chill creeping up her spine at that growing void, the stars around them starts to slowly died down one by one, as if something was devouring them like nothing.

{{{T̶h̸e̶ ̵D̷e̴s̴t̶r̸u̶c̴t̷i̸o̶n̴.̵.̶ .̸.̵R̸e̵.̴.̶ ̵.̶.̷m̴e̴m̶b̷r̵.̴.̵ ̸a̵n̵c̵e̸.̷.̶ ̸.̴.̷H̷a̴r̶.̷.̷m̸o̵n̵y̸.̷.̷.̸ ̴ ̶.̸.̶E̵l̵a̴t̴i̷.̷.̵.̶ ̶ ̸A̷-̷ ̷A̵a̵a̷l̸l̸l̸l̸.̵.̷ ̸L̷l̶l̷.̶.̶ ̸}}}

To Stelle, the darkness of the space never seems so horrifying till now, deep within that endless abyss she could feel, see, sense that something was staring intensely at her, and for the first time since her short birth.

She felt fear.

{{{̸W̶i̷l̴l̶.̴.̴ ̷}}}

Pure and unaldurated primal fear.

{{{̵.̷.̷B̵e̵.̴.̸ ̴ }}}

Of something that is completely unknown.

Tendō's eyes impassively gaze at Stelle being forced back into consciousness, the beam being entirely absorbed within her body but now golden light emanated from her chest which only grew in size and intensity.

'As the script said, there will be someone coming to surpress Stelle's outburst in this moment.'

Suddenly, it shot out and violently erupted into an explosion which was aimed right at the unexpecting Doomsday Beast, killing it almost instantly as the light continued blinding their eyes which forced them all to shield themselves from the swirl of energies.

"Scales, Dividing, Distances." The white haired sorcerer muttered calmly, clashing with the intense scene as he weave through various handsigns while chanting.

Unknown to them, except Tendō who already knew of the knowledge beforehand in his 'script', a certain bespectacled figure was walking from behind them and steadily approaching to the growing bright spectacle.

"Cursed Technique: Infinity." Tendō invoke as March and Himeko attempted to get closer but only ended up trying to not get blown away.

"Gift, Reverse, Surpress." The sorcerer finished his incantation, the pressure being emitted from Stelle's Stelaron had slowly quelled, but still it did nothing except to protect the platform and themselves from Stelle's ticking outburst.

'Now!' Tendō chanted and purposely weakened the given Infinity, as a sudden arrival of a tall brown-haired man wearing glasses and holding a rather antique cane which he then tapped the end of it gently onto Stelle's forehead, bypassing the barrier that Tendō had set up and completely nullifying the ticking time bomb.

"That's enough for now." The man said as he adjusted his glasses and stares at the result.

"Even now your powers are impressive as ever, but considering what we've all been through together, I shouldn't have been surprised." Welt Yang continued only to notice the very intense look from the white haired man.

"Mr. Yang! You're finally here!!" March shouted in cheer.

"And just in the nick of time, had you not supressed the Stellaron then everything would have gone for the worst." Himeko release a sigh.

"I would not praise such honor, considering that Tendō practically could handle it easily but choose to wait for me." Welt adjusted his glass and wait for the confirmation, when he didn't get a response he turns to the other male and was quite surprised.

"Tendō?" The man asked as the man was barely responding, even his eyes were wide to the point it looked like it would pop off from how big they are.

'Who is he.. What is he.. Why were my brain being flooded with this memory.. The script didn't tell me about any of this, Kafka lied.. Elio why.. Why.. Why. Whywjywwhwyhwywhywhywhwywhwywhwy-'

Just as he was about to explain further about himself... the albino's red eyes were leaking streams of blood, and before anyone could even react-

Pop!

The man stumbles back with an explosion of red and wide bloodshot eyes, if it wasn't for Himeko's quick reaction then he would have hit his head onto the cold floor.

"Satoru!!!" March shrieked as she appears instantly besides the red head, her arms still tightly cradling Stelle's motionless form.

"...He's fine.. Just.. His corneas, most importantly; His retinas. it seems like for some reason it imploded." Himeko laid her ground analysis, she used her dress to wipe the bleeding sockets not caring of it being dirtied. "But.. The only thing I could think of for such thing to occur was for when the muscle was straining too much but imploding...?That's when Satoru look at... Welt..?"

The red haired woman paused when she saw that the bespectacled man stares into nothing, not even appearing to heard her words as the colour of his body seemingly died into a deathly pale.

'The Kaslana are going to kill me.. No, the whole world's gonna kill me.' Welt visibly shook as he recalled a certain house of albino warriors infamous overprotective tendencies towards their Shaman Captain, imagining the thought of him being subjected to Kevin's Utu, Kiana's Shamash or even his successor's Star of Eden caused him to pale, then the former Herrscher too fell backward and fainted, shocking the two woman.

"Eh! EHHHHHH!?!?!?"

"Yare-yare daze.."
