WHAT'S UP GUYS
The idea seems to be working for the moment.
It's good to see that people liked the idea, so I'll advance two more chapters, so as not to leave it so short.
And what comes next will be a complete divergence from the events that happened before in the series, things will change completely in the world of The boys.
That's all I have to say, since there's not much to comment on, I'll leave you to read what's to come.

Fear
Absolute fear is what M.M., Frenchie, Kimiko, and Lamplighter feel, absolute fear of what is to come, and that is an inevitable and painful death, and it will not be at the hands of the mentally ill with superpowers that were in this asylum.
It will be by the hand of the one they consider the most vital part of their team, by that of the guy who is the moral compass of this whole group of misfits and the one who held them together in the darkest moments of all this shit against Vought.
That person is Hughie Campbell, the purest person anyone could have ever encountered in life, the person who, unlike the others, is not tainted or rotten like them, a person who, despite having suffered for the Super, stood up straight and did not abandon them.
He may be weak and useless in many ways, he may be useless at things like spying or shooting a gun, but he is strong in not becoming like them, for he has always been the boundary they must not cross when in this line of work.
And now... that boundary is gone, for in front of them, was that same boundary they avoided crossing transformed against what they have been fighting against from the beginning... a Super.
Right now he is standing in front of them, with his hands in his pockets and a smile, which at first would seem friendly, but for this kind of situation, that smile is that of a predator, a beast that will play a little with its food before eating it.
And M.M. knows that they are the food, ready to be slaughtered like pigs at the slaughterhouse, like the other Super that have crossed Hughie's path.
His hand holding the gun trembled with fear, he didn't want to shoot Hughie, he didn't deserve a bullet, and he certainly didn't deserve to die in this place. But what other choice does she have at this point, he is going to kill them.
Fighting their way out of here will only end with all of them dead before they can even get out of this hellish place, giving up will end the same way, and talking has not worked.
What can they do!
Whatever M.M., had planned was thrown overboard, as Lamplighter tired of waiting to see if this jerk would kill them or not, stepped in front of everyone, and lighting his lighter, was ready to burn that idiot.
Frenchie seeing this tried to intercept Lamplighter and stop him from burning Hughie, he wouldn't fail someone again, not them, and he wasn't going to fail Hughie, he wouldn't lose someone else while he was here, and not, for Lamplighter.
And just as he was about to collide with the guy responsible for burning Mallory's grandchildren to death... Lamplighter was eviscerated in three perfect cuts, blood completely staining Frenchie's form.
Lamplighter died on the spot with three large cuts that split him into three pieces, blood shot out of his arteries and veins that were equally severed, staining M.M., Kimiko, and Frenchie with Lamplighter's blood.
Frenchie who was on the ground could only stare in disbelief at how a guy like Lamplighter could die so fast, not even giving him the chance to use his power to defend himself.
How could he? He was facing someone who was leagues above the average person, he was facing someone who had the power to match or surpass the strongest heroes on the planet, it's a miracle he could even light a flame.
Why at the moment the guy moved, Sukuna could have killed him with a single movement of his hand, he wouldn't even need to use his techniques to kill them, his hands were more than enough for that task.
But he used it to make one thing clear, and that one thing was more than clear to M.M., Kimiko, and Frenchie.
There is no way out of this.
"Come on, now, I'm not done with you yet, I'm just starting to have fun, so try a little harder will you?" that sick smile that was on Hughie's face sent shivers of fear down the spines of the boys, who could do nothing but stare in fear at the purest person in the world, turned into this monster.
M.M. cursed loudly, and with both hands on the gun said to Hughie "Sorry Hughie" his finger rested on the trigger, and he was about to pull the trigger of the gun, ready to shoot the last person he would think would deserve a bullet.
And just as things were about to take a bloody turn for the boys, just before M.M. could get to pull the trigger that would go against the head of the purest person in their group.
The front door bursts open, and out of the entrance came what could be described by sight, as a storm of lightning that slammed into Hughie, sending him into one of the open cells in this place.
Frenchie, M.M., and Kimiko froze in place, for whoever it was that saved them had just entered the building, and the person who entered did not lessen the sense of dread inside them, for whoever had entered was the last thing they needed right now.
And that was a dark-haired woman, wearing an outfit of the same dark color with crimson accents and a large dark cloak on her attire, she wore a silver bracelet on her shoulder with an engraving of the United States flag on it.
That woman is the most recent addition to the Seven, and the most famous current hero in the world.
And that woman... is Stormfront.
"Ok, what the fuck is going on here, I leave you guys for a few minutes and already everything is a whole chaos," says Stormfront to no one in particular, she said it more to get the attention of one of the employees of the place.
What she encountered was not the employees and security of the asylum, instead, she encountered Frenchie bathed in blood, M.M. with a gun in his hand, and Kimiko who was frozen in place at the sight of Stormfront.
She says a little surprised and cheerful "Wow what we have here, of all the places you guys could have been, I never thought you would be dumb enough to come to this place, well I can't complain, you guys made my job easier."
Frenchie and M.M. could only stay where they were, terrified at the thought of being killed in this horrible place.
But Kimiko... Kimiko
Kimiko seeing the woman who killed her brother, the one responsible for taking the life of the only member of her family, could only look at the woman with dark intentions.
Fear quickly turned to anger, hesitation turned to violence and doubt turned to revenge... revenge for his little brother, a revenge she plans to settle one way or another, she will kill this bitch here and now.
She wants this fucking, bitch whore dead.
And just as she was about to do her job, just as she was about to throw herself at the murderer who killed her little brother...
That same atmosphere they felt when Hughie arrived... was in the air again.
And he... reappeared.

"Hehehehe, I have to admit it woman, I certainly didn't expect that attack from you" Sukuna came out of the room where she had flown out, her skin and what was left of her clothes were completely unharmed, moreover, there was no sign of any injury on her body, as if the rays had not affected her "But, I expected more power from those lights, I could barely feel them tingling on my skin, you know."
The fear that was once in M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko returned, but this time multiplied by two, for now, there were two big threats in their way to get out of this place.
Making the situation much worse than it already was, for M.M., the situation is at all clear, a clarity that even a blind man would be able to see, they can feel it in the air, this change of environment and state.
M.M... is seeing the clear signs of a battle that is about to be unleashed, a fight between Stormfront? and whatever is happening to Hughie, a fight that promises nothing more than to leave only one alive.
A fight that will most likely end with this entire asylum destroyed... something M.M. doesn't want to stick around to find out. So, lowering his gun he grabs Frenchie by the shoulder, Frenchie turns to look at him, and M.M. says "We have to go, now" The urgency in his voice left no room for discussion, for he knows that, if they stay, they will die in the crossfire.
"OH? So you, the boy with whale guts, think you can fight me? Please don't make me laugh." sneers Stormfront, at the idea that the weakest of all that bunch of fools and misfits is capable of doing anything against her.
Sukuna simply laughed "Hehehe, you're interesting, I'll give you that...but".
The atmosphere of things, now became charged with a hostility that was barely contained, as Sukuna, where he was standing before, disappeared in the blink of an eye... in front of Stormfront.
Who could only blink in surprise, at the speed with which this guy was able to move, for as far as she knew, they were not super, they had no power or ability that would make them a threat.
How was he able to move fast?
"you are weak"

The blow hit Stormfront hard, the teeth bit down hard on his tongue, which began to bleed from the impact of a blow that was equal to his own, as if a train had come barreling in at full speed and slammed into Stormfront.
From that moment on everything became a blur for the boys, as they could only watch as Stormfront, one of the biggest threats they had to deal with, was launched like a bloody missile out of the building by Hughie, who, possessing Herculean strength, planted a powerful blow that sent it away from them.
Sukuna could only laugh at this, and pounce like an animal against its prey.
M.M., seeing that this was his chance, lifts Frenchie by the armpit and shouts "We have to go! Now!"
Frenchie nodded his head in agreement with the idea of getting out of this hell, they both started running towards another exit that didn't seem too far from here, on their way to the exit, they both passed Kimiko, who stood frozen in place, watching as Hughie went out to fight a bloody battle against Stormfront.
This could be her chance to kill the bitch once and for all, she won't waste it!
Frenchie realized this quickly, and grabbing Kimiko's shoulder, stopped her from continuing and urgently said "Mon Coeur! No! Don't go! We have to get out of here! It's not safe here!"
Kimiko did not hear his words, did not hear anyone's words or any other sound, for her ears were only capable of picking up an annoying, incessant ringing that covered any other sound.
For his mind is focused on only one thing... and that was.
To go against Stormfront, to finish her off once and for all in this place, for there is no better time like now. She could kill the fucker now.
And she wanted to do it... she wanted to finish off the wretched bitch right now... and she was about to move against her, but Frenchie's hand prevented him, she wanted to remove that hand that held her, to let go of her so she could unleash herself against Stormfront...
But she couldn't, she found herself unable to do that, unable to get out of the way of the person she cared about all along...
But still... the possibility of being able to kill the damn... was too tempting to let go, for with the help of... Hughie... they might be able to kill the bitch.
...
... In the end, reluctantly and reluctantly, she turned around following M.M. and Frenchie, not because this didn't strike her as a golden opportunity to kill one of the Seven.
But because doing so would mean getting Frenchie and M.M. in the crossfire, and she doubts that they will make it out of this place alive if she gets into the conflict... there will be another chance to kill the bitch.
For now... they have to leave the site.
The only thing Kimiko expects to happen.
It's just that... Hughie finished with the Bitch.

-Play Delirious, Jujutsu Kaisen (ORIGINAL TELEVISION SOUNDTRACK)-.
Stormfront bounced against the emerald grass, bouncing about twice before finally coming to a stop as it crawled across the ground, kicking up dark chunks of the ground.
She groaned in pain and cursed out loud "What the fuck!" recovering from the blow she just received, she got up from the ground, looking at the place she just shot out of.
A large hole was created here, which was thrown like a bullet into the wall, and through the walls out of the building.
How the fuck could that idiot hit her that hard! That kind of strength is what a super possesses! How did that idiot become a fucking super! He was a super all along! RAAAGGH! How the fuck did this happen!
"Hehehe, you are different from them" The voice of that same idiot caught Stormfront's attention, who looked ahead, seeing that idiot walking slowly to the front, with his hands in his pockets and that annoying smile on his face "Despite having similar abilities to the people in this building, you are stronger and more powerful than them, which makes you the strongest in the place."
Then the idiot pulls his hand out of his pants pockets, clenches his hands into fists, and standing in a battle-ready pose says, "I want to see how far you are capable of going."
Stormfront with a grimace of fury on his face, raised his hands and shot lightning at Sukuna, who moved long before the lightning hit him, a blur that Stormfront could catch, but she was not able to react in time to avoid the next hit, which landed on his right cheek.
The blow destabilized the balance she had in her body, and her body tilted to one side when a strong punch landed on her cheeks, she tried to recover, but a backhand that collided with her other cheek sent her in the other direction, to then receive a strong kick that moved her forward.
Stormfront was able to avoid falling face-first to the ground, she quickly turned and raised his hands, ready to strike back, and so he did as he threw his right fist first, which was intercepted by Sukuna's palm and then deflected for Sukuna to deliver a hard punch to his face that drew blood from his nose and split lips.
Stormfront growled in frustration that someone as pathetic as that jerk would be able to hurt her hit her, and damage her.
Stormfront continued its efforts to hit Sukuna! Each impact of fist and palm created small shock waves that shook the earth they were standing on!
Stormfront! Tired of dealing with this asshole bitch blocking his punches! He used his power and pulled lightning from his hand against Sukuna!
But this one moved faster than Stormfront was supposed to move, she could see how the shadow of a figure was above his head! So she continued to use his lightning power and aimed it into the air, hoping to hit that sucker.
But it was not to be, for Sukuna is and always will be faster than Stormfront, and he was able to get in front of Stormfront in the blink of an eye and grab her by the hand that shot thunder into the air.
Stormfront looked at Sukuna who was holding his hand, a sick smile was drawn on the face of this madman, a smile that wanted nothing more than to spill blood, the kind of smile that only the most twisted and sick are capable of generating.
If she knew who Sukuna was, then she would have known from the beginning... that this fight would only end in one simple outcome, and that is death.
.. in her death
"More! More! Put more force in your blows!" said Sukuna, his hellish red eyes seemed to glow with excitement, the excitement of this battle, the excitement of blood.
Stormfront was going to use her other hand to fry Sukuna with her lightning, everything happened in a blur that Stormfront was not able to understand, the only thing she could understand was that she was whipped to the ground hard, leaving her breathless in the process.
His body was like a blur in the hands of Sukuna, who kept whipping Stormfront on the ground, again and again, and again, and again, until finally, Sukuna laughingly threw Stormfront back against the building, with a force that was more than enough to launch a rocket.
His body broke through the windows and walls of the building, destroying the structure of the building in its path, bricks, metal, and concrete were destroyed at the contact of Stormfront, who could do nothing but grit his teeth as he went through the corridors and rooms of this asylum with incredible speed.
She flew out of the asylum in an explosion of dust caused by the bricks, flying in the direction of the forest which was not far from the asylum, Stormfront who had his eyes squeezed shut opened them to see where he was going.
Only to see Sukuna in the air, right in the path where she was heading! Her sickly laughter could be caught by Stormfront's ears! Who could do nothing by the time Sukuna with a strong kick sent her back to the building!
The speed at which Stormfront was going was ridiculous, as she was kicked with such force that her form blurred in the process and she crashed back into the asylum and out through a wall, crashing into the ground, kicking up large chunks of concrete in the process.
Stormfront, she feels weakened, the blows of that jerk, are stronger, stronger than her, not at the level of Homelander, and it was not only in strength, it was in speed, power, and intelligence.
How can this be possible?
"Ah you gave up already so soon" the voice of that... that jerk came from behind her, Stormfront turned quickly, looking at the one responsible for hurting her so much with bloodied teeth exposed, blood was running down her head and she could feel a rib or two broken.
Sukuna, still with his hands in his pockets can only look at the woman and say "You have a special ability, but that ability is useless, if you don't know how to use it correctly, you are so pathetic" Sukuna With that smile still present slowly walked to Stormfront. Ready to continue with this game of his.
She quickly stood up and with both hands pointing straight ahead shouted angrily "FUCK YOU! I WILL SHOW YOU WHO IS PATHETIC!" and unleashed a lightning storm, worthy of an honorific, an entire storm that destroyed the walls of this building.
A veritable avalanche of thunder passed without difficulty through the structure of this asylum, destroying anything that got in the way of the lightning storm Stormfront just generated, the most powerful it has manifested to date.
Part of the structure of the asylum was reduced to ashes, the metal, stone, glass, and corpses of the people found in the place, became nothing more than dust, and nothing would survive in the place.
And if they did, they would die in seconds, for the power of this lightning storm is something worthy of legends.
This storm of lightning continued for several seconds, seconds in which the lightning began to get out of control and began to run across Stormfront's skin. Frustration and anger clouded Stormfront's judgment, for she refused to let herself be defeated by someone beneath her, she refused to lose to the inferior race.
Kill that asshole! If it's the last thing She does!

...
As the battle raged elsewhere not far from the asylum, in a forest that was north of that sickly place, M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko went into the forest, running to get as far away as they could from the battle raging in the asylum.
M.M. stopped at nothing, for the events that had just occurred at this moment had changed everything, so many questions were running through his mind that he could not know which one he could ask first.
How come Hughie having powers! Since when has he had them! How come he can make those cuts! what did he mean when he referred to himself as that fool? And why the hell was he talking in the third person?
So many questions, but no existing answers at the moment, which makes this situation more and more frustrating, and more and more confusing. Be that as it may, they have to regroup with the others, that's the only important thing at the moment.
Once they got far enough into the forest, they stopped to catch their breath, M.M. bent down and placed both hands on his knees, to catch his breath from the longest and craziest run he's ever had in his life.
Frenchie lay on the ground, leaning against a tree to catch her lost breath, and Kimiko stood her ground, for she is a super and supers do not have the limitations of a human.
After two minutes to catch his breath, Frenchie, who had partly recovered from the initial shock... asked the most important question... so far "...What? What the hell just happened?"
"I-I... I... I don't... I Don't Know! I don't know what the fuck just happened I mean!" M.M. points in the direction where the asylum was, and with frustration says "How the fuck can you explain that that just happened! How the fuck do you explain that Hughie was all this time a fucking super!"
"You can't... you can't explain how that just happened" I replied Frenchie wearily, the events that just happened... will remain etched in your mind.
Well, Hughie... was at the end of all this time... one of the things they've been fighting with all this time, a super.
M.M having already recovered from the initial impression they just had, stands up straight and decides... that they are still too close to the conflict zone "Come on, we can't stay here any longer, we have to go-"
-CRACK!
M.M.'s words were cut off when suddenly, from the asylum where a few moments ago they had fled, came the biggest lightning storm, the biggest they had ever seen.
A huge lightning storm destroyed everything in its path, the purple color of the thunder illuminated the environment in a brilliant white flashing color, which would blind anyone who stood watching this lightning storm.
Lawns and trees along the road were instantly burned, and the asylum facilities were left in ruins.
M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko could only watch as the literal storm of thunder and lightning destroyed everything in its path, they decided that it was better to leave the place before the battle reached them because they knew that this would only end when one of them died.
And so, they moved as far away from the asylum grounds as they could, for the battle that was taking place on the asylum grounds... had only just begun to reach its climax.

"RRRRAAAAAGGGHHHHH!"
Stormfront roared with anger, an anger that all the time she kept under control, but that, with this fight, the control she had of that anger... vanished, because she could not believe that an inferior being like him was capable of hurting her, that someone inferior to her was capable of forcing her to give it all.
She will not let herself be defeated by this asshole! SHE WILL NOT LET HERSELF LOSE TO THE INFERIOR RACE!
That idea of her superiority was quickly erased when a greater force kicked her so hard in the abdomen that her ribs were fractured by the force of the blow! Stormfront was barely able to gasp in pain!
Thanks to the force of the kick, she was lifted over 100 feet into the air, where she flew without being able to control the direction she was moving, wherever she saw was a blur, for the pain was so overwhelming that Stormfront could feel her consciousness fluctuate.
She tried to look at the place where I was before.
Only to see Sukuna speeding towards her with a maniacal grin that split her face in sick joy!
That now began to affect Stormfront.
Sukuna grabbed Stormfront's cape, turning and placing himself on top of it, Sukuna looked at Stormfront with the same smile, as this fight proved to be more fun than he had expected.
THIS ERA IS CERTAINLY INTERESTING!
Sukuna raised both hands together, and then hit Stormfront with such force that it sent her back against the building!
Crashing with such force against the floor of that asylum, a large explosion of earth and dust rose like a geyser to a height of about 20 meters.
The explosion was powerful enough to destroy what little was left of the asylum's facilities, reducing it to nothing more than a pile of rubble, concrete, and ruined metal.
Sukuna landed easily on the ground, The fun he felt was still palpable, as this fight continued to prove that these humans, despite not containing cursed energy, were slightly stronger than or on the same level as the Sorcerers.
That woman has proven capable of withstanding enormous punishment so far, Sukuna wants to see what else she is capable of doing.
And he didn't have to wait long, for another powerful lightning storm appeared where Stormfront had crashed! And there, Stormfront lay on his knees, his battered and bloodied body could be seen through the dust that settled on the spot, thanks to the lights of his lightning bolts.
Sukuna moves faster than the human eye is able to follow, running to the right of the lightning and heading against Stormfront, who in his anger summoned more lightning from his other hand that almost caught Sukuna!
But the fallen one was able to move away with the help of a lateral jump, to then use Cleave against Stormfront, who felt how an invisible force cut her from the abdomen, she almost felt how she was split in half, by that invisible attack.
She was barely able to keep herself from falling backward, for she knew that, if she let herself fall, she would fall prey to that... that... that thing.
His lightning that had ceased thanks to the cut, gave Sukuna the opportunity to move at high speed... and stand behind Stormfront.
The recent new addition to the Seven could feel the malevolent presence of the King of Curses on her back, so she quickly turned around. And with eyes wild with adrenaline, he could only watch in growing horror... as Sukuna smilingly pointed the palm of his hand to his right eye.
And the King of curses... revealed his technique "...Dismantle".
...
...
-SHINK-
...
...
Stormfront's right eye was shattered into several hundred perfect cubes... to finally explode in an explosion of blood, which stained Sukuna.
... The shriek of pain was not long in coming, such a loud and heart-rending boast, full of horrible pain that enveloped her completely, her face bathed in a bright crimson hue, as blood began to pour from it.
His hands went back to his face, covering it to stop the constant and unstoppable bleeding he was suffering. Such was the horror and pain that he fell to the ground on his butt, recoiling to get away from this-this... THIS BEING!
HOW COULD THIS UNTER! HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS TO HIM!
"Oh? Are you done fighting yet?" Sukuna could only watch in amusement as the woman, writhing in pain, like a worm struggling to free itself from the clutches of a taller predator.
He reaches out his hand and grabs Stormfront by the shirt, lifting it to the level of his face, and standing close to his face he says "That's all you have to offer? What a disappointment... to think you would last longer than a few simple cuts why do all of you have to be so weak?"
Stormfront, looking terrified with trembling eyes at Sukuna, could do no more than lower her hands from her face, revealing some of the damage Sukuna had caused to her face.
Her face stained with fresh blood, her blood, was all over Stormfront's face, painting it a warm crimson color that thanks to the weather began to dry. But that wasn't the most shocking thing, the most shocking thing about his whole face.
It was the absence of one of his eyes, revealing a dark crimson hole, which kept bleeding.
"Now" Sukuna, still showing that sadistic smile says to Stormfront "How to finish the job?"
Stormfront can't stay here, she can't go on like this, for she knows she will die if she lets this monster do what it wants.
SHE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!
And with that thought of self-preservation, Stormfront used its lightning bolts once again, but instead of using them against this monster...
... She used them to soar into the air at full speed, hoping to get away from that monster... from this abomination that almost took his life.
And she was doing it, she was flying away from that being, from that monster ... She felt.
She felt...
That his leg was cut off from the rest of his body!
Stormfront roared in pain! His flight became erratic! He couldn't control the direction he was flying!
Sukuna could see how the woman, who was trying to escape, fell uncontrollably into a forest not far from here.
Forest in which, it seems... this fool's friends are gathered. He can feel negative energy emanating from them, however minimal it may be, he can sense that they are gathering.
Sukuna smiled, excited at the thought of finishing off that woman once and for all... and why not, finish off the boy's friends, after all. He's bored.
A little fun before the fool regained control of his body, not bad for him.
And so Ryomen Sukuna... King of Curses, headed into the forest, where he would finish off his prey, and have a little fun with it in the process.
This new era has become interesting,
Let's see if this era can withstand him.
...

...
M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko did not stop running, they kept running and kept running for several minutes, hoping that this would take them away from the battlefield that was raging in the asylum. Even when they lost sight of the sickly facilities there, they continued to run.
They are not sure how far the area of devastation can be between two supers, as the results always tend to end with the death of one or both sides.
Whatever the case, they have to meet up with the others and get the hell out of the place. As much as it pains them to have to leave Hughie behind with that lightning-mad woman, it's the only option they have, if they want to survive.
And finally, after running what felt like a marathon, they reached a point in the forest that was far enough away from the battle raging in the asylum. So they were left in place.
M.M. exhaling wearily activates the radio he had been holding all this time and communicates with Butcher "Butcher do you read me? Over."
"I hear you M.M., where are they now?"
"We are about five kilometers into the forest."
"Well wait for us there, we are close to your position, see you in about 5 minutes."
"Okay, we'll wait for you here, over and out" With that said he cut the radio communication.
He looked around, trying to reassure himself as to what to do next. Then he turned to Frenchie and said "Butcher won't be long, he should be here in about 5 minutes."
"Well... Dieu saint... things got out of hand, didn't they?" says Frenchie.
"No shit, Frenchie, of course, I mean...things went to shit," M.M. replied sharply.
Kimiko sat on the floor, deciding to get some rest so she could recover from all the events that had occurred. Hughie's recent transformation certainly turned everyone's world upside down.
Kimiko especially feels disturbed at what has happened... the way Hughie acted was not common for him, this is not how he acts, he is a person who can be fearful, but sometimes brave, he is weak but on very few occasions he showed strength.
But what she just saw, what she just witnessed...this is not how Hughie was, this is not how Hughie normally acted...it almost seems, as if someone else has taken over.
As if someone else was inhabiting Hughie's body, that someone had taken control of his body and was using it as he pleased.
Also... something about the tone in which Hughie spoke... reminds her very much of Japanese, Hughie doesn't know how to speak in that kind of tone, she never has and she has never heard her speak that way in her life. So there are only two ways he could have spoken in that kind of tone.
The first is that, secretly, while they were coming out of hiding he started studying the language for some reason... or the second, and the craziest one at the moment... is that someone else, is in Hughie's body, controlling him and doing whatever he pleases with his body.
But how can that be possible? Is there any known super able to do that? Is there even that kind of power, where someone can possess someone's body, can strengthen his body to the level of a Super?
Whatever is happening to Hughie... it's not natural, not even a super is capable of doing what Hughie has done so far. There has to be something else going on then.
Kimiko's thoughts were interrupted when the sound of moving bushes caught her attention, she quickly stood up and looked at the place where the sound was occurring. M.M. and Frenchie turned to see what was happening.
And out of those swaying bushes, Butcher and Annie appeared.
M.M., Frenchie, and Kimiko let out a sigh of relief, the first to approach them was M.M. who said: "I never thought I'd say this, but it's good to see you son of a bitch."
The same applies to you M.M." Butcher says as he approaches them, with Annie behind him "Now if you don't mind me asking what the fuck happened in that asylum!"
Frenchie walks up to them and says "Petit Hughie, that's what happened, he came to the place slaughtering everything in his path... he killed Lamplighter."
"Shit was Lamplighter in the asylum."
"That's right... he was with us while we were trying to escape from the place, he got in our way, Lamplighter tried to fight back, but... he died the moment he tried to use his power," says Frenchie.
"Shit... on the way to the site we heard thunder on the site did Stormfront show up?" asks Butcher.
M.M. nods "Yes... she showed up on the scene, But Hughie stayed fighting with her".
"What! Hughie was left fighting with Stormfront!" Annie's sudden cry of distress interrupted Butcher. Well to hear that the most important person she has in life was left, fighting the most dangerous woman in the Seven.
"Yes... Stormfront surprised Hughie at first... but Hughie recovered and took the fight outside the asylum, after that I don't know what else happened on the spot, as far as I know, they can keep fighting those two right now" M.M. replied.
Annie, with a look of determination, turned to another part of the forest and started walking fast, in the direction of the asylum.
But before she can continue, she is stopped by Butcher who says "Whoa, whoa, wait a second, light bulb, you're not going to that place"
"Why no! Hughie's fighting Stormfront right now! We can't leave him alone!" replied Annie, furious at the thought of leaving Hughie alone with that bitch.
"I know, but what are you going to do when you get there fight alongside Hughie against the lightning bitch? Besides, you saw how Hughie acted, that's just a one-way trip to the slaughterhouse if you ask me."
"Oh sure, just because Hughie suddenly manifested powers it's okay for him to die for Stormfront! NO!"
"That's not true, besides, if you go to that place, what do you think the chances are of you getting out of it alive, huh? You'd be dead by the time you got there with those two."
"You don't know that!"
"I know and I'll tell you now that's a bad UF!" Butcher was suddenly pushed by Kimiko, and not intend to harm Butcher, instead she did it to move him away from an object that was moving at rapid speed against Butcher, had it not been for Kimiko, Butcher would have been killed by the thing, which forcefully pushed Kimiko straight into some bushes.
Everyone took cover, as they didn't know if this was thrown by someone who had them in their sights, so it was no surprise that everyone lay on the ground, waiting for another object or projectile to come.
... But after a wait of several minutes, nothing came, instead what reached everyone's ears ... was the sound of groans of pain. The boys, the whole group turned to the place where the moans came from, which was a crater the size of a horse.
Everyone slowly got up, even Kimiko who was pushed into the bushes, to see what was in the crater, slowly and cautiously they approached the place, Kimiko was ready for whatever was coming, Annie despite not having her light powers, she could use her super strength to fight anything, Butcher, M.M and Frenchie had their weapons raised, aimed and ready for whatever was coming.
And what they saw in that crater... was nothing more and nothing less than Stormfront... unrecognizable from how he was before, as there was a large amount of blood all over his body, her waist was cut, her intestines were barely contained by the little flesh she had, she lacked her right leg to move and her right eye... was gone, instead, there was nothing but a bloody mess in its place.
The recent new member of the Seven, who previously showed promise, a woman full of confidence who managed to play with the masses, a woman who showed the ability to be the new leader of the Seven, the most famous heroine so far... She was no more.
Instead, what was in front of the boys was nothing more than a bloody mess who could barely stay conscious, a woman who could barely keep her eye open, as she had lost a great deal of blood in the five minutes of the fight.
5 minutes, of a one-sided beating, where Sukuna, with only 5 fingers consumed, was able to cause extensive damage to Stormfront, leaving her on the verge of death, and agonizing on this muddy ground, which now served as a bed for Stormfront.
The heroine, looking at the boys in terror, tried to retreat, for she knows that she is now in a worse state than vulnerable, she is defenseless before them.
Kimiko had at first frozen at the sight of Stormfront's condition, but she quickly recovered and with a grimace of rage, she set out to finish the bitch fucker and for all, avenge her brother.
Stormfront, seeing one of the boys running towards her, the same girl who had met the other boy on the roof of the building, could only look at her in terror, raise her hands, and using what little strength she had, fired her lightning bolts.
The thunders hit Kimiko and went more beech, pushing all the guys behind Kimiko about 3 meters away, Kimiko crashed to the ground, Stormfront kept the thunder rays on the girl, keeping the distance as much as he could.
Fry that crazy Asian fucker.
Annie painfully got up from the ground, watching as Stormfront's lightning struck Kimiko's body, She quickly got up to help her and was about to run to help the girl...
Suddenly... the air pressure changed... and she felt a presence, the same presence she had felt when Hughie was with them.
Is he...?
"Hehehehe, well, now, what a surprise to see everyone gathered in one place" that voice... the same voice that had terrified her beyond what she would have thought, that same voice that can be compared to Homelander's.
Annie slowly turned around...looking at Hughie, with a smile that was just like Homelander's, a smile that promised nothing but blood and immense pleasure to take out of all this.
"Hu-Hughie? URGH!" Annie was violently silenced by Sukuna, who had slowly walked towards and backhanded her with his right hand, throwing her into a tree, Annie felt her back slam into the tree, losing her breath in the process.
Sukuna laughed as he got rid of whatever got in his way, he would deal with them later, but he had to finish his main course, to make room for dessert.
So slowly with his hands in his pockets, he walked over to where Stormfront was, slow and sure steps ahead of everyone, Butcher looked up watching Hughie walk slowly to the crater, that sinister smile on his face sent chills down his spine.
And Sukuna, standing on the edge of the crater, saw how the girl was attacked by the woman she left on the brink of life. Stormfront looked up, terror was engraved on her face when she saw... that monster, that being that left her on the brink of death.
Sukuna just smiled as she looked at Stormfront, frozen with fear at her presence, she's been a fun woman, she's been given a good fight as an introduction to this time, but it's time to end this.
Stormfront, seeing that this monster appeared again, turned off his lightning, that guy is with the rest of these scumbags, so, if he has one of them as a hostage, she doubts very much that he is going to attack.
So using what little strength he had left, she threw himself at Kimiko who was weakened, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her, putting her in front of him as a human shield.
Stormfront pointed at Hughie who seemed amused by this development "STAY BACK! DON'T COME CLOSE! IF YOU DO I'LL KILL HER! I'LL KILL THE BITCH! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!"
"Oh, you think that's going to stop me? Hehehe, how funny and silly you are, unable to tell a wolf from a sheep" he raises a hand... and with just a wave of a finger, he pronounces the name of his cursed technique "Cleave".
The result was instantaneous, as both Kimiko's abdomen and Stormfront's abdomen were instantly severed and separated from her body!
Kimiko could only watch in abject pain and horror, as Sukuna cut her around the waist before she lost consciousness.
Stormfront could only watch in absolute terror as his torso was separated from the rest of his body by an invisible cut through the girl he was holding hostage.
The only thing Stormfront could see before the darkness enveloped his vision forever, was the horrible smile of that being... And those hellish red eyes that penetrated his soul.
Silence once again dominated the atmosphere of the place, no one knew what was going on right now... it wasn't until Frenchie, M.M., Butcher, and Annie got up that they saw what was going on. And what they saw left them frozen in place.
Well, in the crater... There was Stormfront Split in half by a perfectly straight cut that split her in two! And next to her was Kimiko in the same state!
"KIMIKO!" shouted Frenchie, seeing that Kimiko was split in two, in the same manner as Stormfront.
Sukuna turned around slowly and looked at the rest of the guys, the pained expression on Frenchie's face was funny to Sukuna "Hehehe, your face is so pathetic, you remind me a little bit of Harima."
Frenchie hearing Sukuna's words stood up in anger, raised the gun, and was ready to shoot. But before he could pull the trigger, a deep cut in his chest intervened, pushing him back, while blood fell and stained the ground.
"Frenchie!" M.M. and Buthcer shouted, as they watched Frenchie fall to the ground, from a cut Sukuna had made on his body, they both stood up and raised their weapons, ready to fight Hughie!
If there was any doubt before, there's no doubt now! Whatever happened to him, he'll end up killing them if they don't do something to stop him!
Annie saw this unfold and was going to yell at them not to do it She doesn't want to see Hughie get hurt!
Sukuna just laughed at the challenge of these humans and said "Heh, in the end, no matter how hard they try, the weak will always be weak no matter what-Hmm?!" the smile he had on his face before was erased, as something changed in this body.
Hughie's body suddenly freezes, and the marks that adorn his body begin to disappear.
Hughie began to regain control of his body.
"Tsk, the fool is regaining control of his body, how annoying" Sukuna was saying in his mind, an annoyance he would have to deal with while inside this fool's body.
But before being locked in the body of this foolish Sukuna, he says with a final smile "Hey, enjoy this while it lasts, you fool, for nothing is forever" and so on.
The world could once again breathe easy.
For Ryomen Sukuna... was locked up, in the body of the purest person that can be found in this world.
Hughie Campbell... is now, the vessel... of the King of Curses.
Hughie Campbell, who ended up in the same position as Sukuna had been, could only watch with his eyes wide open, his orbs trembling with a terror that he was unable to comprehend, for what had just happened was something that should not be possible, even for a Super.
Hughie... was unable to understand what had happened, for a few minutes ago, he was in agony in the van, and then... he was in agony.
Then...
Oh, God... Hughie.
Hughie remembers it all.
He remembers... the feel of the flesh on his fingers, the strength he got to crush everyone, the speed he had to kill everyone.
The blood! The heat of the blood! The brains on his fingertips! The flesh on his hands!
God! The Smell!
And above all... Frenchie and Kimiko.
God! Frenchie and Kimiko!
WHAT HE DID!
"Hu-Hughie?" the wavering voice of Annie brought Hughie out of the madness that threatened to consume him, he turned his gaze and looked at Annie, seeing how she had risen, and was looking back at him fearfully, for she did not know whether she was talking to Sukuna or Hughie.
"Annie? guys?" he turned his gaze to Butcher and M.M, and not knowing what else he could say, just asked the only rational question, that was going on in everyone's mind "W-What? What just happened?" asked Hughie doubtfully...well what just happened.
It should not be possible.
Butcher and M.M., were stiff, confused at the development of things, because a few moments ago he was trying to kill them all... but now, now they are confused?
Things changed when they heard Frenchie moan in pain, and from the hole where Stormfront and Kimiko were cut, they could hear Earth being moved.
Frenchie was still alive and Kimiko, despite the massive damage she received from Sukuna, was regenerating, slowly, but she was recovering from her injuries.
M.M. and Butcher, seeing that the two are still alive, run to support Frenchie, kneeling beside Frenchie to prevent him from bleeding to death.
Annie runs to Hughie, who can only stand in place, frozen at what just happened, whatever words Annie was saying to him were not heard by Hughie, for what he just witnessed.
What he saw that guy doing with his body.
It leaves a mark on Hughie.
And that mark will not be removed, it will be part of Hughie, until the day he dies.
As of today.
The world...
He will not be the same as before
-Play Specialz, King Gnu-
In other parts of the United States, away from the forest, in the cities, in the towns, forests, and more important and remote areas of the nation, change began to take place.
In the darkest shadows, in the brightest places, in the busiest neighborhoods, and the most uninhabited places, they felt it, they felt the most malevolent presence the world has ever seen, a presence surpassing that of the most powerful being known as Homelander.
From the small ones that attached themselves to ordinary individuals who provide a certain amount of negative energy, to the larger ones, which abounded thanks to the negative feelings of large masses of people.
The weak froze on the spot, and the strong turned to the sky, feeling the presence of someone much bigger than them. And very few of them, of that great number of beings found in the population.
They saw something they never thought they would see, a thing that seemed impossible, for Homelander was the strongest in the world, not a single one of them, not even those who are the strongest, would be able to compete against him.
But thanks to this awakening... to the rebirth of the former strongest being of all, they saw the opportunity.
And among all those beings, one person, an Asian-looking person, with wild long hair, clothes reminiscent of a Buddhist, dark-colored piercings in both ears, and the most striking of all... stitching marks on his forehead, looked up from the newspaper he was reading on the roof of a building.
And with a melancholic tone, he says "Ah... it seems that it has already started".
"Heh, looks like it's about time to get the rest of the stuff going" With that said, the guy closed the newspaper, to walk to the edge of the building, which towered above a street, with several people walking along the sidewalk, oblivious to what is about to happen.
A dark portal was generated next to the man, a portal that continued to grow until it had a height of about 5 meters, and from that same portal a dark form began to manifest from the portal, a dark form that began to take shape, molding itself until finally the being took form.
And black liquid fell from its form, revealing the head of an Asian dragon, with gleaming white scales, flat teeth, and huge bulging eyes that bulged out of their yellow sockets. First Grade Cursed Spirit, Rainbow Dragon.
"I have a lot of work to do, and to do this I will need a little help, and I think I know who will be able to help me in this situation" With that said, the man climbed onto the head of the Rainbow Dragon, and flew off into the horizon.
The world is no longer, nor will it ever be the same again, for with the return of the Fallen One,...
For the gears of the change machine have been turned back on, producing a profound change, in the world, one where people will not be able to return, and the super of the world go with blind eyes in the world, to the new carrier, of the demon of the world.
...
...
Let the world remember, him...

HELLO PEOPLE.
HERE IS SOME RANDOM DATA.
They knew that Sukuna fingers, when consumed, tasted like soap.
They knew that crab meat, and that of any other crustacean, absorbs liquids well.
Oh and by the way, I am not the owner of any of all of this music, all of them are the property of they owners or companies, so don't blame it on me.
