"Are you familiar with maximum techniques? Apart from their domain they are a cursed technique's supreme art. The curse manipulation technique: Maximum Uzumaki combines all curse spirits I have absorbed into one and hits my opponent with super condensed cursed energy." He says smiling.
"Itadori stay back." I instruct him.
"No, no way. I'm with you. Until the end of this!" Itadori says stepping beside me and readying his stance just like we taught him.
Geto starts laughing and Itadori's brow furrows, "why're you laughing?!"
"Oh sorry, I suddenly realized I was starting to act like him. We're talking about Uzumaki." He says composing himself.
So Geto is still in there. He can see what's going on. Creepy.
"Using it is powerful, but using it means I negate cursed spirit manipulation's advantage- the great number of moves at my disposal. So at first I didn't find it all that exciting, I simply thought of it as recycling low grade curses." Geto says.
I look at Itadori and shake my head hoping he can read what I'm trying to convey to him. We need to wait this out. We have to see his next move, maybe even let him use Uzumaki. We might get a good opening then. I used to fight him all the time after all. If anyone could predict his next moves it'd be me.
"But I was wrong. Its true value is revealed when cursed spirits of semi-grade 1 or higher are used and the technique is extracted." He says smiling.
Technique getting extracted? What does that mean? I've never heard this before.
He looks up suddenly and raises an eyebrow.
"How foolish, did you think I would not notice something I would have sensed?" He says.
I look up and notice Nishimiya from Kyoto on her broom. She's letting out some sort of light signal and suddenly Geto is ambushed with arrows and bullets. Mai and Kamo are probably near by. I smirk knowing we caught him off guard. While Geto is distracted Miwa comes from nowhere and tries to slice him, but he breaks her sword. He smiles as he brings his hands up.
"Maximum.." he starts.
"No don't!!" Itadori yells.
"Miwa!!" I yell running trying to get to her.
An explosion breaks a giant hole in the battlefield before I can even get close. I stop and Itadori stops right behind me. I look as the smoke clears and see Kusakabe is standing in front of Utahime and Miwa. They must have gotten to her first.
"Um, Itadori?" I hear behind us.
I turn around and see Kamo and Panda in gorrilla mode standing behind me and Itadori.
"Panda! Kyoto dude!" Itadori says smiling.
"Good to see you guys are okay." I say seriously turning back to Geto.
"Good, it's really you Itadori. Does that man have Gojo and the Prison Realm?" He asks.
Prison Realm. I should have known. It all makes sense now.
I sigh angrily, "yes."
Panda grunts, "I'm sorry Sensei. Wait, where's the baby."
I take a deep breath in not wanting to reveal his location out loud, "not now Panda."
He sighs, "right. I'll do whatever I can to help get Gojo back."
"Me too." Kamo says.
I nod, "thanks guys. Just help me kill him. Bastard needs to die."
"Understood." Panda says.
I hear footsteps behind us and ready my spear. But who I see surprises me. It's the cursed death womb painting kid. Choso.
"Choso, how good of you to join us." Geto says.
"That guy!" Itadori says. They must have fought earlier. He recognizes him.
"Noritoshi Kamo!" Choso yells angrily.
What?! Noritoshi Kamo? No, that's impossible.
"How dare you!" Choso says walking toward him, "how dare you try to make me kill my little brother Itadori!" He says readying his stance.
What? Little brother? I look to Itadori confused.
"What's going on?" I say.
He sighs.
"Yeah, are you emitting some sort of Pheromone or something?" Panda asks.
"I don't know but, he tried to kill me earlier, then didn't." He says.
The connection. The brotherly bond. If that's true, then that means….
Just then, a woman with white hair jumps in front of Geto.
"Move! Out of my way! I'm Yugi Itadori's older brother!" Hey yells angrily.
Choso puts his hands together and uses piercing blood against the woman. She dodges it but only by inches. He moves the beam of blood over to Geto but Geto lifts a platform of rock up with a cursed spirit to dodge it.
"Don't push yourself! You must be tired." Geto says smugly.
"So?! Is that really a good reason not to give my life for my little brother?!" He says outraged.
"Guys, we need to take this opportunity while we can. Just get me close enough to Geto or whoever that is. I'll paralyze him and go for the kill after." I say.
"I've got two cores left so I'll lead the charge." Panda says.
"Fine. But no matter what, Geto dies here and now. I'll be the one to do it. And we will be getting Satoru back." I say angrily.
"Yeah." Itadori says.
We all ready ourselves as Panda runs in front, me following close behind.
"Unblockable Drumming!" Panda says jumping up about to strike when the unexpected happens.
"Ice formation!" The woman near Geto says before anyone else can do anything.
"Frost calm!" She says.
Huge pillars of ice encase us all. We can't move. Our whole bodies except our heads are frozen.
I furrow my brow, "no!" I say panicking.
I need to get to him. I need to get Satoru back. I need to kill that bastard Geto.
"Don't kill them, I need messengers." Geto says.
"Is that really enough reason to let everyone live?" She says.
"You think this ice is enough to hold me back Geto?! Huh?! I'll fucking kill you if it's the last thing I do!" I yell with rage.
"Temper, temper. You really shouldn't lose your head in battle Naomi." He says.
"Oh I haven't lost my head Geto. In fact, this is the most sane i've ever been!" I yell with a smile.
Just then, Itadori jumps at the woman and she dodges it. He was able to break Choso out in the process and they both ready themselves. He wasn't frozen? Is it because of Sukuna?
"Are you our ally?" Itadori asks.
"I'm your older brother." Choso says.
"Will you take this seriously!" Itadori yells.
"Why don't you try calling me older brother? Just once." Choso says.
"Boys, head in the game yeah?" I say loudly.
Nishimiya comes out of nowhere, "Wind Scyth!" She yells as she whips a blade of wind at Geto and the woman.
They both dodge it and Nishimiya gets frustrated.
"Itadori! We're the only three who can move right now! We gotta buy time until Sensei is ready!" Nishimiya yells.
"Icefall!" The woman yells and shards of Ice start to fall on them.
"We're going to die!" Itadori yells.
"No!" I say. They can't die. I'm supposed to save them! I'm supposed to kill every curse user that had anything to do with this. I can't lose anyone else!
But just before impact, someone I hadn't seen in years destroys the ice.
"Hey, it's been a while Geto. Can I get your answer from before?"
"Yuki Tsukumo." Geto says smiling.
"So, what kinda girl is your type?"
