Megumi: “Very well then, should we land a hit on you, you aren’t allowed to touch us whatsoever. And should we lose..”

Sukuna grins deviously.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7RtuiYUPD
Sukuna: “You both will serve me..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXZIUo6JSE
Yuji very clearly doesn’t want to fight, but sighs and cracks his knuckles.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhp2O6WFX4
Yuji: “Alright, I see what you're thinking now Megumi.. If we refuse we die, if we fight we either live as slaves or live untouched.. So thinking rationally fighting is the best option, getting our asses beat to continue living, I see nothing wrong with that logic.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2MbSmAoa8
Sukuna chuckles, his fingernails growing sharp, he rips off the jacket he’s wearing to show off himself. He slicks back his hair, reeking with malicious intent.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNtb71Yqd
Sukuna: “Alright maggots!! Lets see what ya got!!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJe1OeiYSK
Megumi forms a hand sign, preparing to summon, Yuji takes a fighting stance.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbbWxulusF
Megumi (Thoughts): “I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter what I use, if he goes for a dismantle or a cleave all of my shikigami would be done for.. But, he wants servants right? So if we go hand to hand he can’t kill us!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAGAz9Q6cf
Megumi suddenly rushes in and Yuji follows suit. Megumi throws a punch at Sukunas face but it’s blocked easily, Yuji behind him goes for a roundhouse. Sukuna pulls Megumi's fist, putting him in the way of the roundhouse and causing him to get hit. Megumi quickly recovers, and he and Yuji run at him going for two different angles. Sukuna, keeps his attention on Megumi, who goes for a leg sweep, while Yuji goes for a drop kick from above. Sukuna thinks quickly and teleports back a distance, making Yuji’s foot slam against Megumi’s face.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfK9CtqW0q
Megumi: “Gah! DAMMIT WATCH WHERE YOU’RE KICKING!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BALHq9YkE
Yuji (Embarrassed): “Heh, sorry man.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPjLpTp4wz
Both of them get back in the game and turn their attention to Sukuna. They assume their stances, Megumi forms a hand sign.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcfbVWcKwa
Megumi: “Divine Dogs!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs7Rujo2wn
From the shadows twin canine shikigami form and await commands. Megumi points at Sukuna.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV6ASwjUdL
Megumi: “Attack!!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjPEV2TAU1
Both wolves rush towards Sukuna, who smirks.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7QKX4EOHp
Sukuna: “How foolish, Dismantle, Dismantle..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzGPMGHfxJ
As both words are said, two slashes immediately cut clean through the shikigami, but they explode into dense smoke that quickly surrounds the area.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVojhp2NKxY
Sukuna: “Ah, how clever.. However this vessel has something that will make this merely an inconvenience..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWiIqDAQJJ
Sukuna’s four eyes glow brighter blue, activating the Six Eyes. He sees them rushing from the left and the right, Megumi with a punch fueled by his cursed energy and Yuji a normal punch. Sukuna takes a step forward and both of them end up missing, striking the ground making it tremble and crack open. Both rush up to him and start swinging at him, but he easily and constantly dodges.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmSuituWfT
Sukuna: “That was a clever idea, using those wolves to smoke screen me, I’ll admit that may have worked if not for this vessel's owner telling me about all of it’s capabilities as we speak.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrXLSeGl16
Sukune stops both of them by striking their foreheads with his index fingers, knocking them both unconscious immediately.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiHOSJbfk7
Sukuna: “But you should never do something to hinder your own vision. Attack based only on what you sense is insanely idiotic. Not a good first impression on one who hasn’t used cursed energy before.. But alas, I’ve won.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhvOHjk6y
Several Hours Later.. 2:29 pm..85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8uuNNd3l
Megumi and Yuji both wake up in a candle-lit room, held tight in chairs binded by several chains. Someone enters the room clearing their throat. They pull up a chair and take a seat, it’s Gojo, he is in control of his body once again.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK3NVgHfBR
Gojo: “Now then, new kid..” He looks over at Yuji.. “What's your name, huh?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksFY3mzb7
Megumi looks over at Yuji as well, and Yuji responds with an exaggeratedly embarrassed expression.
Yuji: “My name is Yuji Itadori..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEBh85OLVs
Gojo smiles, grateful for the response.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgES4ESx6x
Gojo: “Thank you for telling me, thought you’d try to put up a flight with me buddy.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgPy0BoqWH
Yuji shakes his head.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtwaYJ4EQr
Yuji: “Put up a fight? And risk death? No thank you.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbWJN112TP
Megumi interjects.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCNeMAqBSX
Megumi: “That being said, what are you planning on doing with us..?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEOJ566Xkd
Gojo holds up his hand, Sukuna’s mouth forming on it.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUZmBHaGWJ
Sukuna: “Like I said before I dispatched you two. You both will be our servants, and you both will be assets to our plan.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1ZzXONaIx
Megumi is taken aback, Yuji shrugs.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOFxvhSURP
Megumi: “Y-You two are working together already? You have plans established this early, it’s only been a few hours hasn’t it?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXf12DVtgM
Gojo: “Yes indeed we do Fushiguro, you see.. Me and Sukuna here understand how the world should work.. The strongest shall thrive and survive, and the weak who sit on their asses rotting away day in and day out, not getting stronger to defend themselves shall die by our hands. A new world order one built on strength and willpower. And I’ll let Sukuna put it simply for what will happen if you try to oppose us.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4702gWOIO
Sukuna’s mouth grins.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT42RvNvc0
Sukuna: “You will die by our hands.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8gbo0msXt
Yuji nods in understanding and submission, Megumi looks reluctant.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1iwKEVcPN
Megumi (Thoughts): “So, refusing means death, opposing means death, running away means death, and as I am now.. There's nothing I can do to get away from this.. Guess I have no other choice..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48IjHxUDsn
Megumi sighs, and nods.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVEW0Tclcl
Megumi: “We understand..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76e0B4Nay6
Both Gojo and Sukuna grin.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn34B2vmq45
Gojo: “Good, then let me fill you in on the plan.. It’s simple, the first part of them plan is to collect all of Sukunas fingers so he and I can get stronger. After that, we’ll begin with the second phase of our plan. We'll launch our first attack on four main parts of Tokyo. We’ll start with Shibuya, then Roppongi, then Harajuku, and Asakusa..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKkNs9LSxg
Yuji nods in understanding but Megumi speaks up.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf89HPO45i
Megumi: “But Gojo-sensei, you mentioned a while ago that some of Sukuna’s fingers are being held there right? How will we get them without starting a fuss? Unless you’re planning to go in guns blazing?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEZDSfKPcs
Gojo rests his chin in his palm.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKcAi2c5N4
Gojo: “Here's the thing, this plan needs to go smoothly.. We can’t just go all out, there are plenty of capable sorcerers that if working together could take even me down. So we have to keep everyone in the dark about this. Besides, it’s not hard to get to them.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZhoxFfqsw
Megumi nods in understanding. Gojo lets out a sigh and stands up, and he cracks his neck.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunlnRDwZ4
Gojo: “Alrighty then, now I can’t have weak servants so I have a nice solution to getting you both up to standards..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkChXR5Xie
Cursed energy begins flowing throughout Gojo’s body, more than an unlimited amount residing within him. Both his hands are enveloped in the blue and black flames. Some sweat runs down Megumi’s head, Yuji is concerned but apprehensive. Gojo approaches, putting his hands on their chests, then transferring over mass amounts of cursed energy to them, it begins to become too much for them to handle. They let out screams of agony from the amounts they are receiving, the room getting to be shrouded in the blue light. Gojo keeps his smile, as he continues to give them more and more of his energy.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPs07yBNRo
Their screams continue, their bodies overheating and aching from the overload of energy. Once Gojo decides they’ve had enough after 5 minutes of nonstop transferring, he takes his hands off them and the cursed flames on his hands extinguish. Megumi and Yuji are barely hanging on to consciousness, slobbering at the mouths, eyes twitching, bodies shaking.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBr7iDqhSN
Gojo: “That pain you feel, that is true power.. It is what actual strength is, and always will be.. Be honored to have received it.. It wasn’t even a dent in my supply anyways.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS29L2cOnk6
Yuji attempts to speak but ends up coughing blood the very second he does. Megumi strains to look up at Gojo and speaks with pain and gratitude.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27w3C6DUeG
Megumi: “T-thank you, G-Gojo-sensei..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BZPZqI692
Gojo waves him off.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ5FbQsOoi
Gojo: “Ah, don't worry about thanking me.. Rest up, let your body adjust to that amount of energy within you. Once you do, our first course of action will begin. We’ll get the fingers from JuJutsu High, and go rogue.. We can’t have any others on our backs holding us down or possibly trying to take us down.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRghYTpYUyG
Megumi is about to respond but his vision goes blurry; he nods off slowly and eventually loses consciousness, and Yuji follows suit not too long after. Gojo watched them both lose consciousness, still holding his smile. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpBMn2u4q
Gojo turned around and made his way out of the room, leaving the two to rest.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkloYd1jh3G
The next day, 9:09 am..85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTufGzzSxQ7
Yuji stirs awake letting out a groan, he looks over to Megumi who was wide awake staring at the ground. He tilted his head, wondering what he could be thinking about.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9NHa6pCcT
Megumi (Thoughts): “I just can’t believe this is reality.. Gojo’s body being compatible to house Sukuna, the possibility was slim to none.. And when it succeeds he becomes a bad guy..? It’s all happening so fast, I just don’t get it at all.. He gave us some cursed energy to become strong enough to be of any use.. So I guess that means he wouldn’t have hesitated to kill us if he deemed us too worthless.. What could have happened to cause this? Did Sukuna break him? I just don’t get it..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMpodnhisT
Yuji speaks up to break the silence.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvTDmde6A5
Yuji: “Hey, look.. I know this can be a tough situation to grasp.. But just look at the bright side, we aren’t dead. I mean sure, it may go against everything we might stand for, but is it really worth dying for? Take me for example, my grandfather passed no too long ago, a few days ago I believe.. He wanted me to save as many people as I could as his final wish. And while this course may not be what he had in mind, at least some might live.. I mean what Gojo is getting at may have some merit, so just go with it. I don’t want to be that guy saying ‘give up’ out of purely being a coward. I’m saying it because of the information I got on Gojo so far.. He’s too much man, so.. Let's just do what he says, or else we may suffer a fate that one couldn’t even imagine..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmDVaeeIUP
Megumi was taken aback and slightly angered by Yuji’s words, but he knew he was right. There was nothing they could do but serve now, after all Gojo didn’t need to let them live. Megumi sighs and nods in comprehension of their situation.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2fi1iSaFX
Megumi: “You’re right.. There's nothing we can do to stop him, so at this point, the best we can do for ourselves is serve as best as we can..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlqjw7d6GQ
They both nod at each other respectively. Gojo who was listening to the entire thing outside the room has a satisfied smile on his face. He enters the room, prompting them both to shift their attention to him. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8lr8TMlXC
Gojo: “Good to see you’re both awake and getting along so well! Are you both ready to go and get those fingers from the school?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3buQlrA5op
Both nod immediately, their bodies are no longer in complete agony, albeit a bit sore. Gojo gets excited, though he’s now a whole new evil brewing on its own, he’s still Gojo.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZbmCvaupN
Gojo: “Yay! Alright then! Let's get you two untied.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAhxkq3DvW
Gojo goes over to them, he rips off their chains like they’re poorly made paper chains. Megumi and Yuji rise to their feet, awaiting orders. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqrEf8vTr9
Gojo: “Alright, now here's how we're going to do this. You two are gonna do a little trolling around the campus, to get the attention away from the locations of the fingers. By ‘trolling’ I mean you two are gonna break some things, cause some damage.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE8GryfHNk
Megumi: “Understood, but what should we do about higher grade sorcerers?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrsRTd3NTM
Yuji looks confused, and scratches his head.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBxS7uFDhu
Yuji: “Alright I’m confused, what's with these ‘grades’?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqRKQicSL
Gojo: “Well to answer your question Fushiguro, the amount of cursed energy I provided the two of you should be enough to keep away at least grade 1 sorcerers with little difficulty. And to answer your question Itadori, in simple terms 4th grade is the weakest special grade is the strongest. But, of course, there’s that Maki Zenin, she’s got close to zero cursed energy, but she's quite formidable, worthy of 1st grade, so be on guard no matter who may step up.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBbVStTvRo
Megumi and Yuji: “Understood.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG17xGfw6XG
Gojo: “Good, we’ll head out now, come along..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHWUp94gK
Gojo turns around and heads out, and Megumi and Yuji follow behind him. The streets are filled with people and chatter, the three walk along the sidewalks, Gojo downing a soda. After about a few minutes they arrive at the front gates. Gojo begins forming a blue energy sphere in his hand, it has great attraction, and starts to pull things in as he adds more and more energy.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu2Wx9E56u
Gojo: “Cursed Technique Lapse, Maximum Cursed Energy Output: Blue.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokiMFJ7kbb
Gojo tosses the sphere at the gate, it crumbles it to pieces as it’s sucked in by the energy, Gojo starts directing the energy around, making it tear apart and suck up more of the gate. More and more the gate is wrecked, with one last swipe of his hand, he sends the energy away and it dissipates. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8mzpEz23x
Gojo: “Alright, that should draw some attention to you both. I’ll be quick, and prepare for conflict.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiPLtd2Ock
Megumi and Yuji both nod, Gojo nods back and teleports away. Yuji puts his hands into his pockets, Megumi scans the area. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvSlHgAMEM
Yuji: “Yo, didn’t he mention that we’re supposed to destroy stuff?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc7ScR1DdG
Megumi turns his attention to him, he remembers that Gojo did indeed say that, he nods. Megumi forms a hand sign.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGnPOMIGMx
Megumi: “Great Serpent.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt7c33s19q
A gigantic shikigami snake bursts out of the ground from under them, both of them standing on its head. Yuji seems impressed, and he turns his attention to Megumi.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXqQQFvWZm
Yuji: “So is that your technique? Summoning animals? I saw earlier you summoned some wolves that were destroyed by Gojo.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09uAtZuyC5
Megumi keeps his gaze at the school below. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpSgExbDhh
Megumi: “It’s the Ten Shadows Technique.. Those ‘animals’ are shikigami..” 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddOcQu1hYS
The snake strikes its tail at some parts of the school, causing significant damage. They both watch on, Yuji sitting down cross legged.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF5i6Ql56x
Yuji: “Damn, that's pretty cool. Wonder if I’ll get a technique. You think Gojo will train me to help me get one? Or does it work differently?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJwfWvvQt
Megumi crosses his arms.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYae9KCNUBh
Megumi: “I wouldn’t know the answer to that myself.. I inherited my technique, and whether Gojo cares enough to help you figure yours out is entirely up to him, yet if I had to guess based on his desire for power and his twisted fantasy of a world deprived of the weak. He’d surely want his servants to be powerful, so I’d say yes he would.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAhztqgOqi
Yuji watches the destruction being caused by the snake’s attacks. He notices something though, this attack has been going on for a while yet no one has shown up to stop it.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHmja7DcOF
Yuji: “Yo, where's everyone at? Nobodys come yet.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3toN02Xb9Q
Megumi nods in acknowledgement.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX47yom1WZ7
Megumi: “It is indeed strange, no one mentioned anything about a trip.. No one said anything about going anywhere, nor have I heard of any curses in need of elimination, they should all be here..” He thinks for a second. “Unless..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnndWQwR0h
Yuji looks back at him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ53ttlgcXf
Yuji: “They’re planning an attack..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8fU1gthLY
Megumi’s expression gets serious, he places his hand on the snake's head.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGq6LuCNhH
Megumi: “Return.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT6NpS8kX7
The snake disappears, both he and Yuji drop to the ground. Yuji dusts himself off, and Megumi pulls a sword out of his shadow. Taking a stance, and doing his hardest to sense the energy of the sorcerers. Yuji follows his lead, taking his fighting stance. 85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbytKdja8q
Yuji: “What’s going on?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuXlyddoIc
Megumi: “Quiet, listen!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ohLEKq3w
Both remain silent, Megumi picks up and some silent yet rapid footsteps nearby, the pace gets quicker. He tries pinpointing the direction but can’t fully keep up.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ELJOpkdA
Megumi (Thoughts): “Damn they’re fast! I can’t get a sure direction!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrJJnqbYe
He turns to look behind him, only to be met with a kunai about to hit him, he dodges it quickly. Suddenly he’s slashed at by someone wielding a familiar weapon to him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUxebBKHhM
Megumi (Thoughts): “What? Slaughter Demon? Maki!”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTncLY6VmQ4
Megumi quickly dodges it, only for Maki to adjust herself and throw a kick at his face, sending him back and crashing into a tree. Yuji is taken aback by the sudden turn in events. Maki points her weapon at him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ovQOnTGaR
Maki: “Who the hell’re you? You got a screw loose or something?”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfjmxHjBfu
Yuji curses, not responding to her but instead rushing right in at his full speed. He throws a punch at her, which she just barely manages to dodge. Yuji’s fist slams into the ground, shaking the area violently. He quickly rushes back in, throwing as many punches as he can right at her, which she couldn’t manage to dodge. He jumps back once Yuji throws another punch, and throws some knives she’s been keeping hidden right at him.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nSvPwzagH
Yuji rushes at her again, dodging the knives in the process. He goes for a quick roundhouse kick, but Maki stops it with her arm. With her other hand she punches him in the gut, pushing him back only not as far as it did Megumi. Yuji spits on the ground, putting his fists back up. Megumi approaches, standing back by his side, holding his sword tightly.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Aupjie9Md
Maki gains a look of disgust.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPWtbxkqZY
Maki: “Never in a million fuckin’ years did I ever think you’d have the guts to betray us.. I won’t draw this out any longer, you two are going six feet under the damn ground..”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Nwk1Ltrs
Megumi doesn’t respond, nor does Yuji. Megumi takes a fighting stance, and Yuji does as well. Maki scoffs, she points her weapon at them.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M0uCOpqBu
Maki: “Double teaming huh? Won’t do much, though I’m surprised you took that kick so well.. I’ll have to teach you a lesson you won't forget.”85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYSiDUZmV8
Maki immediately rushes towards them, Yuji and Megumi rush at her with the intent to kill if necessary.85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0AQaDjjo
