The Last Stretch

As Matsu laughed to himself proudly he pulled out, what seemed to be a wind-up solar radio. He then said, "Before I joined the organisation, I was a bit of a mechanic you see. I was able to modify this to radio to be able to send and receive electromagnetic waves. It's currently receiving the electromagnetic waves from an incredibly small microphone that I attached to that 10 Billion Yen boy."

As he pressed the play button, live feedback of the conversation, that the group was having played. Botan heard everything that they had talked about up till now, Taoris and Urushis tragic past, and soon they would discover the location of EDEN.

Urushi said, "I hid EDEN in an abandoned construction site, in the east-south corner of Izumo. It's inside a large wooden container that has lots of construction beams on top of it."

As the news then played, Botan began to laugh maniacally, "FINALLY. THE GREATEST POWER WILL SOON BE MINE. ONCE I GET THIS, THE DAIHATSU WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE."

As Matsu began to celebrate together with Botan the two engaged in an awkward dance. Then suddenly, Matsu dropped the device, causing an ear-piercing white noise to fill the room.

Matsu quickly began to frantically smash on the device with his foot, trying to stop the noise. He was successful, however this mistake would now result in the downfall of the whole Daihatsu.

Matsu then said, "Boss, I think we may have a problem..."

Meanwhile in the Izumo hospital

Once Urushi told Akumu and the others the location of EDEN, he felt a wonderous burden lift off his chest. Just as that happened, he and Omo flinched all of a sudden.

Omo then asked, "Can any of you guys hear that?"

Urushi responded, "Someone here has a radio transmitter on them!"

As they panicked to figure out who it was Kenji shouted, "Akmu what's that black thing under your shirt?

Just as he said that, Omo quickly turned him around, while ripping off a piece of the lower half of his shirt. He handed Urushi a black box-like device that was attached to a piece of it.

As Urushi inspected the device he smashed it with just his grip before shouting, "Dammit. That Hulk had faster fingers than his size let on. He put a miniature radio device on Akumu, they probably know where EDEN is now!"

As he said that Omo shouted, "I need to contact nearby Jujutsu sorcerers, as well as the school itself. They need to find out what's going on here."

Akumu shouted, "We don't have time for all that. If we take too long then we will give them a head start."

Urushi then suggested, "We have to go get EDEN back immediately. We need to form a plan of action while disabling their movement."

Taori then asked, "Kenji are you fit to move?"

He responded, "YES MA'AM!"

She then said, "Since Akumu is the fastest of all of us here, he should go to collect EDEN. We still need to figure out who put the bounty on his head too, so me and the others will go and raid their base. We will then find their server room which should contain, all the contracts that they take."

Urushi asked Akumu, "Do you have space for another passenger?"

He replied, "I should be able to fit a third person in my arms. Why do you ask?"

Urushi then declared, "I'm going with you. I need to see the choice that you will make with these eyes. Only then will Hasashis soul finally be able to rest in peace."

Omo didn't like this plan. However, it was their best bet at coming out of this unscathed. He then asked, "Can you even still fight Old Man?"

"My body may have gotten weaker, but my skills from that day haven't dulled one bit. Besides, if the worse comes to pass I still have a hidden trump card.", he replied.

Everyone agreeing with the idea split up. Akumu jumped out the window while carrying Urushi in his arms, as he used his black wings to traverse across the city. The Taori would guide the others back to her old home to hopefully not face off against her father once more.

As the group travelled to the great tower that lay on the outskirts of the city Hikaru asked, Taori, "What is the enemy even like?"

She responded, "Before I abandoned the Clan, there were only 2 notable people known as Elder dragons serving under Botan at the time. The Thunder Dragon Ling Xiaoyu, and the Poison Dragon, Zefear."

Yumeno then said with a surprised expression, "Ling... isn't that the same name as that Chinese prince??"

Kenji then responded, "Ever since China lost for the first time against Gojo Owari, the former Chinese princess had seemingly disappeared. People said that she was killed but perhaps she ran away to Japan?"

Taori then said, "If that's true then maybe she joined the Daihatsu around the time of Botan.II death?"

As she said this, Hikaru quickly summoned, his Red Oni as the group where travelling. Suddenly protecting Taori from a random gunshot from a good distance away.

As he did so, a familiar scimitar came flying towards him, which Yumeno blasted away with her Cursed Technique.

As the scimitar fell to the ground it flew back to the top of a building. Then jumping down from it with great force was the man in the blue trench coat. This time he looked a little different from before. His skin was a murky yellow and his shirt had a hole inside, revealing blood stains that poured out from it. His eyes were dead and emotionless as he quietly stood before the two.

She then frustratingly shouts, "It's this guy again!"

"And he appears to be here with a friend.", Hikaru added

Yumeno then said, "Me and Hikaru will deal with these guys, the rest of you should head to that Tower!"

As she did the man continued his assault on the two, now with more ferocity and force than before. As he threw both of his scimitars, Yumeno then shouted,

"Echo Cannon."

This cannon of sound was as loud as 100 decibels. Anyone even a Jujutsu sorcerer that gets hit by this would instantly go deaf as well as fall unconscious from the vibrations.

However, that wasn't the case for the Curse Tool Manipulator. Somehow he powered through the attack and approached, Yumeno as both of his eardrums bled heavily. As the scimitar returned to his arm, he threw a heavy slash at Yumeno just before a heavy mallet hit him in the side, sending him crashing into a nearby building.

As the zombie-like man tried to return to his offence a bolt of lightning from, the Yellow Oni that Hikaru summoned blasted him, hopefully putting him down for good.

Then suddenly another bullet fired at the now vulnerable Hikaru hitting him in the side.
