บท 13: Invasion

Somewhere in a dark cliff face a certain cult was hosting a meeting. Its main supporters all gathered around the statue of a god they worshipped. It stood tall and proud in the middle of its round table. It possessed 4 perfect arms with a mouth engraved in its torso along with a face that could not be described by earthly words. In one arm it possessed a great Trishula staff¹ and in the other laid his vajra². This was the statue of Ryomen Sukuna and around it were the executives of the cult that worshipped it.

[???] 3rd arm Ryo, have you heard back from the 4th armed Su?

[Ryo] He has failed his mission and perished at the hands of a Sorcerer from Jujutsu Tech.

[???] Jujutsu Tech has already caught wind of our plans?

[???] SILENCE 2ND ARM KU, YOU MAY NOT SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO YOU MAY BE NEW BUT DISRESPECT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

[Ku] I apologize.

[???] So it appears that there may be a rat amongst us. We will have to commence the plan early before they can send more support. 3rd arm Ryo have you finished constructing the cursed tool?

[Ryo] It will be ready in 2 days, Cult leader. If it weren't for the star vessel criminals providing these materials for us then it would have taken another 20 years before we could carry out this plan.

[Cult leader] That's great to hear. 2nd arm Ku and 1st arm Na you two shall raid the Fukui Monastery for me and take back our god's final finger with the rest of our brethren.

[Ku and Na] Yes Cult Leader-Sensei

[Cult leader] In the teachings of our lord The Demon God

[remaining 3 arms] FOR OUR LORD SUKUNA

Back in the Fukui Monastery

After being called back into the main hall, the newly formed trio had been summoned by the Head Priest of the monastery Oki Takaba, Hagone who had been fast asleep was now trapped in a half-awake/sleep state that kept in perpetual motion from the floor. Yukikos' hair was still wrapped in bath towels from her hair routine while Akumu was still dirtied from the earlier fight.

[Takaba] I have summoned you three, to tell you about my youngest son Oki Okiko. The truth is, our family has run this monastery since the Heian era times 1000 years ago. However, during that time, our family was cursed by a great demon to face a threat that would wipe out our family once every century.

Yukiko then asked, "How is the family still present today?"

Takaba responded, "At around the same time of the families cursing, we had also been blessed by the gods with a certain cursed technique that would appear to counter it. It was the ability to prophesize the disasters of the future."

Akumu then asked, "What does Okiko-tan¹ have to do with this then?"

Takaba then responded, "Okiko, had awakened that cursed technique 1 year ago, and since then he has only had one vision. It was the resurrection of the Demon God Sukuna"

Panic began to awaken in all three of them. It was particularly the most powerful in the coward Hagone who had zapped back into alertness from shock.

[Takaba] "Which is why tomorrow we will immediately remove that finger from this monastery and launch it into the far reaches of space. Once that thing leaves this planet's atmosphere not even the presence of that false god could reach us."

He began to laugh hysterically at the thought of his great plan. He encouraged the three to get great sleep tonight and that tomorrow would be the end of this planet's misery.

Hageno and Akumu bunkered up together while Yukiko slept with Okiko to protect him.

That night Akumu had a strange dream, the world was surrounded by explosions and death followed by the sounds of flesh being cleaved and dismantled. In the shadows of the explosion, a four-armed figure emerged from the flame with a presence that could only be described by a single word, Insanity. Amidst all that chaos he could also see another familiar presence that stuck by him all this time, it was his shadow the self that he had fought with one month ago. It left behind 2 words before Akumu was pulled back to reality:

"It's coming"

A loud explosion was then heard in the middle of the night followed by the death moans of many men.

The loud sound awoke Hagone and Akumu. Hagone asked what was going on. Akumu quickly looked out the window to see the monastery courtyard burning. The two quickly suited up and jumped out the window to investigate. That's when they saw it, multiple of the courtyard presits were battling against some red-hooded invaders. Naturally, the two sorcerers assisted with the fight.

Meanwhile, in Okikos' bedroom, the young boy slept in his bed alone. At least he was until a mysterious figure entered the room. It was the young boys' mother. She then spoke bitterly.

"I have spent the last 6 years wasting my life in this shithole raising you. I left you in that cursed forest but that Jujutsu brat just had to save you from the 4th arm! No matter once you die tonight I will be granted a place in the new world that Lord Sukuna will create!"

She raised her arm over the sleeping Okiko with her blood-stained Kitchen knife in-hand. This woman was a spy sent by the cult to keep an eye on Takaba 6 years ago. It was only by chance that she ended up becoming his concubine but now was the time for her to cover up her mistake.

Just before she could finish the job however a strong breeze knocked her off her feet. Out from under the bed crawled the hiding Yukiko.

"DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT. I SPENT THE LAST 3 HOURS MAKING UP MY HAIR JUST TO RUIN IT HIDING UNDER THERE, DAMN THAT AKUMU." Yukiko was very frustrated.

2 hours earlier

"Hey Yukiko-Chan, Can I ask you for a favor?" akumu asked yukiko. Yukiko Surprised by the sudden request began to blush infinitely.

"I will never take orders from you!", she said. However, Akumu quickly responded.

"That binding vow I have with you says otherwise."

A bunch of thoughts of both romanticism and lewdness rushed through her head. "what was he going to make me do? Does he want to sleep with me?" While these thoughts populated the blushing girl's mind, akumu simply asked for her to hide under Okikos' bed.

Back to the present time

"DAMN HIM HE HAD THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ME BUT HES' USING HIS AUTHORITY ON ME LIKE THIS!?!?!"

At this point, Yukiko began to vent her thoughts out loud. The frightened mother quickly tried to escape the room but a gust of wind quickly slammed the door shut.

"And then there is you," Yukiko said. "That knife is already stained with blood.. who did you murder"

Despite how sealed the room was from the outside a strong current of wind began to stir around the two of them. The mother then shouted:

"THAT PIECE OF SHIT TAKABA IS ALREADY DEAD, I DID WHAT I DID FOR MY ONE LOVE GOD. LONG LIVE LORD SUKU-"

Before the women could finish Yukiko immediately shot her with a blast of cursed energy. Okiko who had just woken up at this time witnessed most of the events.

"did you just kill my mom?" the small child frighteningly asked.

But frustratingly Yukiko responded, "I just put her to sleep for a little bit, She was very tired."
