PHASE 3: LAKE OOZORA

Information: This location is reserved for Team 3. Start your session where Sakurai left off, which was getting on the bus, and exiting at your designated location(s). Everyone on team 3 has been issued a picture through text message on the description of the cursed. We will also try to wrap this up before 15 posts.

Takahiro Seijuro waited for team Unmei to arrive on the roadside of a spaced-out town in the country. Their bus pulled up to the roadside near a local sushi bar named Yamamoto's. Takahiro waited for each boy to exit the bus before introducing himself. "Welcome to phase three of your exams. You're in a rural town on the outskirts of Tokyo known as Himaru Town." Takahiro slicked his hair back under the beaming sun. "I've texted you the profile of these curses, and unfortunately, you'll have to travel by foot to reach Lake Oozora to deal with them," he said pointing to the east. "There isn't much information to go on about these fire curses, other than that they've been seen working alongside the Red Eyes gang, so our intelligence isn't sure as to whether or not these curses can speak. In any case, be vigilant on your exam, and if it's possible to get any information on the Red Eyes, then do so. Good Luck men." Though they were children, Takahiro was sure that they heard of the news reports and social media discussions about humans with glowing red eyes committing acts of vandalism, murder, and more. Suddenly, Takahiro stopped before hopping inside his 2021 Chevrolet Corvette. "I forgot to mention, there are three of those curses on the loose, but you should not have to worry about tracking them down individually since they move as a group!" With that said, he got in his car and sped off.

SENJU PARK

As Kensaku scanned the crowd, a rhythmic buzz set off inside of his pocket. Every application installed on Kensaku's phone had its own specific vibration to tell him what he was being notified of without him having to look. Kensaku, instantly understanding what application the message was from, quickly removed his phone from his pocket. He quickly scanned the email he was sent, along with everyone else who checked their phone. As he was about finished, Kensaku felt a rush of excitement course through his veins; a result of seeing the team placements. A wide grin stretched across his face and he looked at Mitei and his little brother, expecting them to be as excited as he was.

"Look! We're all on a team! We gotta get a name..." He said, shortly before Sakurai would begin to speak.

He listened well, knowing that he had to show respect. "I wonder what he means by 'Your preconceived notions and ideals will be broken in the days soon to come.' Pretty friggin' edgy.." He thought, still listening carefully. When it came to the point where he was given a chance to walk away, Kensaku considered it. Knowing the dangers of this world, what normal fifteen-year-old wouldn't? On the outside, he showed no signs of second thought or doubt, but Kensaku certainly wasn't committed. This lack of commitment may prove to be a hindrance later on, but for now, Kensaku believed that he'd be fine. After all, he was good at literally everything he does.

"Very well..." With these two words, Kensaku was locked in. No matter how much doubt he had now, he couldn't leave. These second thoughts were soon overshadowed by the anxiousness that Sakurai's words would impose. Maybe Sakurai didn't know but, "If you survive" was not the most comforting thing for new recruits to hear on their first mission. "They're really sending us on a mission where we can die AS AN INITIATION!?" He thought, baffled as to why his Jujutsu School chose to make this decision. It's not that he was worried about his life, but the lives of the new generation. He didn't want his team to die on their first very mission or any other team for that matter. Kensaku was quickly comforted by the idea that his team was made of only Unmei, not only that, it was made of his favorite Unmei. Kensaku's bond with Mitei was probably the strongest in the clan, and because Kensaku is his Katsumi's younger brother, he's always been nicer to him. Katsumi was also known as The Unmei Prodigy, even though at one point Kensaku held that title. As these thoughts ran across his mind, the hum of an engine drew closer and closer. He looked in the direction of the noise and noticed that it was a bus. As he saw it coming closer, Sakurai mentioned that it was his ride. He waited patiently until it stopped, and when it did, he was one of the first to step into it. He sat in the very back seat of the bus, as he usually did when taking public transport. He placed his earbuds into his ear and laid his head against the window, entering a blank stare. After a while, the bumping and the gentle vibration of the tires rolling against the road started to soothe Kensaku into a slumber that he wouldn't wake from until they arrive.

THE SUSHI SHOP

As the bus came to a screeching halt, Kensaku's eyes jolted open to see himself next to a shop on the roadside. "what the hell..." He mumbled as he rubbed his eyes. What kind of cursed spirit could possibly be at a sushi shop in the middle of the day? Realizing that it was his time to get off the bus, Kensaku jumped out of his seat and quickly moved to the exit of the bus. A chilling gust of wind blew against his face as he stepped out and spotted another man in a suit. Kensaku stood in the middle of his two brothers. "The hell are we doing at a sushi bar?" He whispered, making it so that only his brothers could hear him. Takahiro would introduce himself almost instantly after, and with Kensaku still being in a state between being fully awake and sleeping, he only heard half of what he was saying. All he caught was, Texted, profile of curses, and travel on foot. When he got in his car and drove away, Kensaku made an expression of confusion. He looked at Mitei, his team captain, and asked,

"...what's going on big bro. I didn't hear a thing that man said. All I heard was a bunch of inaudible mumbling. Somethin' like,"

He started making strange mumbling noises while getting in Mitei's face. What would most likely irritate Mitei was the thick-ass eye booger on Kensaku's left eye.

"Blahblahblahblahblah spirit blahhglahgugrleblahh"

SENJU PARK

Alongside his brother, Mitei would arrive shortly at Senju Park. At first, it seemed to be no one coming, only for Mitei to realize that they were in the wrong spot. Noticing a growing crowd deeper into the park. Him and his brother walked with pride, and gave a nod as a greeting once they made their way there. Standing awkwardly while they waited for something to happen. Mitei analysed the group in front of him before Kensaku barged towards his shoulder.

"Team?....." At first, Mitei was confused, so he checked his email and immediately figured out what he was referring to. He had his phone on vibrate since his burner Twitter was recently leaked, causing him to have a delayed reaction. " Oh- OH! AND KATSUMI IS WITH US TOO! " Mitei was just as excited as Kensaku, jumping for joy, pumping his fist in the air repeatedly.

"YATTA!

His level of excitement would quickly diminish into curiosity and seriousness as Sakurai made his appearance and began to give everyone the rundown. Just like Kensaku and many others, he paid close attention and was respectful. Everything Sakurai spoke of seemed sorta self explanatory and wasn't anything to be super concentrated on. But one thing did catch his eye.

"Upperclassmen, Hajime……."

He looked off to the side for a bit, letting his mind ponder what it would be like to have an Upperclassman, or to be considered a Lower Classman. He was always homeschooled so a hierarchy like that wasn't something known to him, and even in the hierarchies which heat familiar with, he's always been the top of the top, being in the government and all. Not to mention the possibility of this "Upperclassman" 's strength being far above his. A person which he can gauge himself off of.

The very thought of being at the bottom disgusted him a bit. He was never entitled, nor acted as such, but he was definitely treated above most. This fact alone left him kinda'…. afraid. Not sure of how he would react under the pressure of being at the bottom of the barrel. It was a concept which most are expected to accept, but Mitei is different and always will be, so to be treated as if he's not is concerning in a way. Though life moves as the world rotates, and never slows down for a single living thing.

A sudden series of rumbles released Mitei from his world of thoughts, Mitei snapping his head out towards the road. Sighing softly, he allowed the buses to approach the sidewalk, beginning to enter by his brothers. Going towards the back of the bus just as Kensaku did, not to sleep, but to enjoy the windows which made up the rear door. Falling into a light snap as they traveled Japan's streets.

LAKE OOZORA

SUSHI BAR

Mitei's nap would be interrupted by Kensaku's confusion, taking a peek out the window as Kensaku did, letting out a brief exhalation. Pushing himself from his seat and exiting the bus. The blazing sun greeting Mitei before The Instructor. "Hey, what's the word?" Mitei would ask nonchalantly as he walked up to Takahiro, receiving the information given with an open mind. "Intelligent Curses…..'Red Eyes' Gang…..and Lake Oozora…. Got it!". Taking mental notes, Mitei would turn to his brothers opening his mouth to speak only to be interrupted by Kensaku, who was getting all up in his space. " OKAY, OKAY, I'LL EXPLAIN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SWAP CARBON DIOXIDE WITH ME!! " Mitei would exclaim in annoyance masked by a joking tone, shaking Kensaku by his neck so he could wipe off his eye booger with his thumb, gaining focus once more.

" Aight guys look, if you didn't catch everything the man said, We will be traveling, by foot, to Lake Oozora. Fortunately for us, we've been here plenty of times due to our wonderful upbringings, but this time...it's not for a vacation…we will be encountering curses on the way, and if I remember correctly, the man said something about fire….so we might be dealin' with some wannabe Charizards. To make matters worse, apparently they could be buddy buddy with a new upcoming gang. The Red Eyes'. Meaning they have potential to have some sort of human-like intelligence. ", He would pause and lick his lips for a quick second and subtly point to Katsumi, "You probably wouldn't know about 'em, Katsumi, but that's alright, I and maybe Kensaku knows well enough about them to know that we have to be extra extra cautious with this piece of information…. y'all got that?" He would look to the both of them, and assuming they agreed, he then whipped out his phone, and looked at the text from an unknown number, the one of only Takahiro. Examining the pictures."Hideous, aren't they." He commented under his breath. Lifting his head towards the direction which they now had to travel, almost vomiting. Mitei never being the person for on foot traveling." It's the only way…. Let's set some ground rules first, and let's make it quick, we don't want the sun to catch up on us "

" 1. We will always stick together unless informed or needed otherwise. We are nowhere near the strength to be soloing anything, especially curses that could have fire abilities. "

"2. Be smart and level headed. This is mainly towards you, Katsumi. I know how it is, being a prodigy, and being so young. You be physically on par with us, but mentally and skillfully, you are years behind. We don't need you, or anyone getting ahead of themselves just because Elder let us hit a roundhouse on 'im one time. Curses are very unpredictable, as told by our father, and battling with them shall be nothing less than a challenge"

"Besides those two, I'm pretty sure most of everything is either self explanatory, or doesn't need to be mentioned, yet. If you have anything to add, do it now.", (If you have anything you wanna let us know to be wary of before we begin fighting that maybe wouldn't be plausible for our ocs to know without irp mention, do it now.) "Alrighty, we should head on out now, the Lake is quite a ways away." With that, Mitei began walking, nervousness grabbing around his heart, slowing down it's pace. Giving Mitei a sensation similar to that of a faint. This is something he hasn't really experienced before and wasn't sure what was occuring, but his anxious mind freed himself from it's grasp, causing him to breathe rapidly. Something his brothers hopefully wouldn't see. Mitei's true emotions was cloaked by his titles of older brother and Leader. This feeling would only come as embarrassing, no matter how "human" it was. He had too much riding on this test. All of which outweighed the importance of his own life.

◣ — [KATSUMI UNMEI.] — ◥

Katsumi looked across the crowd of the future generation of jujutsu sorcerers, seeing the obvious proctor sitting nearby to all the students, he went towards Mitei and Kensaku, the first 2 people he saw that he could trust, a buzz went off on his phone. Not knowing what it was, he opened his phone to see that it was a notification about what group Katsumi would be in. As he opened the notification, he saw he was paired up with… his brothers. He smiled, glad that he was teaming up with people he can trust rather than some new kids who would get killed instantly. While not as excited as Kensaku and Mitei, he was still pretty happy. He listened to his brother speak about giving our team a name but chose to leave it to Kensaku and Mitei considering they're better at this kind of stuff than him.

"I'll-" Katsumi started speaking as he got cut off by the proctor. He just went quiet to listen as he thought, "Yep, that seems about right to what happens whenever I talk."

Lake Oozora [S1-E0] Images_-_2021-09-09T091934.793

He listened quietly to the proctor as he gave the usual cliche speech you'll hear in movies or shows. "Your preconceived notions and ideals will be broken in the days soon to come? It feels like he just ripped off a speech right from a movie." He thought to himself. As the proctor gave the option to leave right now, Katsumi scoffed at it. It was a quiet and not noticeable scoff but a scoff nonetheless. Why would he come all this way and train all that time just to quit before we even start?

"Very well? Seriously? Like couldn't he have tried harder on being original? Everything he said literally felt like it was just a movie speech." Katsumi thought as he rolled his eyes, disappointed at the presentation of this whole ordeal, but one thing lingered in his head. "If you survive." Meaning we can die in this entrance exam, interesting. Katsumi thought he'd be fine considering that he's the prodigy of the clan and that he has both of his brothers with him too.

He went into the bus last with his brothers as he put on his headphones and started listening to music and tried meditating while waiting to reach their destination but was too excited to meditate. He instead put his head on the window and stared at the movements of everything as the bus went by, singing the songs that played on his phone. He stared as the buildings went by and the common people all went by their normal lives without knowing anything about the world of sorcery. He saw as they reached a town in the countryside, understanding quickly that they're gonna be doing their test there, something that he was glad about.

He got out of the bus last, stopping his music and taking off his headphones, slowly becoming quieter as he hummed until he stopped as Kensaku talked. He had his skateboard hung on his back as he stretched a bit.

"Eat, hopefully. I didn't eat breakfast trying to get to Senju park." He spoke as his stomach grumbled. He listened to the man in the suit explain the situation and then Mitei re-explain it for kensaku. He looked at the profile of the curses with awe, finding them cool. He nodded as Mitei gave them orders as he started following them, not really caring enough to say anything.

Fri Sep 10, 2021 2:48 am

The skyline shined bright with rays of golden and angelic light that crossed through the colossal clouds drifting about, and at the toe of the heavens were three optimistic boys who were traveling. The front of their shoes moved through the tall grass, mowing it down as they trudged forward into Forest Onyx with seemingly cool perspectives. Once they crossed over and under the dark shade of the trees — an overarching reach of equal evil peeked inside their psyche from all sides of their mind; what was this? The closer they magnetized themselves to this sense of carnage, the more immense it became. Even though Mitei and Kensaku were experienced fighters, only Katsumi could depict this 'energy' as symbiotic and potentially metamorphic. Initially coming into contact with this almost broken puzzle-like energy, Mitei would only be able to discern how terrifying it felt with a face-value take on its description while Kensaku would be able to piggyback off of Katsumi's mention of it with more creativity. Even though both of Mitei's brothers had untypical levels of intelligence, it was his natural ability to lead his brothers that would hopefully keep them safe as long as he used the experienced his father had given him.

As they passed through the dark path as a pack, a humanoid silhouette stood in the distance with deep, glowing red eyes that gave some illumine to a disfigured face with a torn out eyelid and an eye-ball just sitting out while its eyebrow and forehead had a deep lesion on it — revealing a saturation of red flesh. The wound gushed with thick streams of blood that resembled a broken fire-hydrate. The eyeball eventually plopped out with a water-fall of blood that flooded the soil beneath the grass; the orb bounced up and down as it dangled by a thin string of muscles attached to the back of it. Drops of blood fell from the eye like a faucet leak. The sight of this would leave anyone in disgust, especially three boys who lived a pampered life thanks to their upbringing up until this point. It was even expected that one of them would vomit from the grotesque sight.

Upon seeing the red-eyed humanoid, a vision of victims twisted into Kensaku's brain. He would be forced to take a knee from the abruptness. The past, present, and future of something ominous were revealed to him at once; during the experience, his muscles locked up with spasms and paralyzed him from movement. What he saw were two beings fighting under the scarlet sky surrounded by millions of dead bodies wearing bloody armor; they even held katanas and shields in their frozen stiff hands. Was it the aftermath of a war? When did it take place? Where did it take place? And who were these to beings that Kensaku observed with an obscured sight? It was a prognostication of something vague, and perhaps in the distant future, or was it of the past? If it was the present, it was enough to walk the rest of his life in fear.

Without even noticing, something with a long and slimy tongue, baring fangs stood stitched into the ground and over Kensaku with a deformed smile. Each breath it took had a weighty and distorted sound to it. A reptilian tail laid on the ground and underneath Kensaku's line of sight, and maybe he saw it, or maybe he didn't. Once he looked up he would have found himself inside the mouth of something, but before dying he warped back into reality with what should have been a heavy heart and shaken mind. Would he bother revealing what he saw to his brothers despite the scary episode? It was only an hour into the examination and things were already spiraling out of control. Visions of corpses laid out everywhere and two entities fighting in the midst of it while being devoured at the end of it was probably too much for anyone. While Kensaku was going through an episode, Katsumi and Mitei were still exposed to possible danger while inside the wide forest, and they still hadn't met their destination yet. While Kensaku was on the ground, Mitei or Katsumi had to make a move to secure their safety. They could've run in another direction, or they could've investigated as they were asked.

For what it was worth, this figure did have red eyes as they were previously informed by not only the examiner but the news if they watched. If they ran towards the figure, they would've noticed it collapse mid-way there, only to make one large discovery. This Red Eyes member was human. Initially observing it didn't mean much, and even with a High-Intellect, there was not much to infer from it either; however, it did mean something, but what? The unidentified body had dug something up with its hands. A skull with snake-like fangs, and inside its mouth was a folded piece of paper that read.

Exitium

The serpent of ruin sleeps in existence

As his children fight with persistence

Against the universe's protection as punishment

Sin has lead to the final breath

Love kept secret has forced blood

The betrayal has brought tears

And anguish fills a heart

A story was written to wash the past

For the future

Everything will shatter

With Plague, War, Famine

And then Death

It was obvious that whoever looked at the poem first would know the title of it was written in another language. Kensaku currently had a foggy mind, he probably wouldn't be up to comprehending the piece, nor did he seem like he could even if he was in the right state of mind. Mitei with an average level of intelligence probably wouldn't know how to read Latin either. The only candidate likely to know that it was Latin was Katsumi, but could he read it? Despite that, Kensaku couldn't catch a break because now one too many things were connecting even though the story was still vague. At this point, was the child still capable of fighting with such a condition? Having gathered heavy intelligence and discovery, their exam still took presence if they wanted to get into the school, but before reaching the location, they had some things to consider and to discuss along the way. Though the future already felt bleak, they all had to keep a strong frame, more so than ever now; especially for Kensaku and what he saw, the Mitei due to his personal doubts. What they were about to discover up ahead would be life-altering.

Thu Sep 16, 2021 3:26 pm

Before Kensaku had the chance to react, he was caught off-guard by his brother swiftly gripping his throat and shaking him around as if he were a toddler's favorite toy. Mitei had somehow managed to get his hand to Kensaku's adam's apple so quickly that Kensaku did not have a chance to counter. Such an occurrence was not rare in the Unmei residence, as Kensaku usually finds himself being assaulted by his elder siblings. As he was being rattled around, Kensaku exclaimed and begged for mercy—resembling a little girl. "OKAY, I GET IT! LEMME GOOO!" He foolishly shouted, not realizing that he was exhaling his steamy breath in Mitei's face yet again. When Mitei picked the eye booger off of his face, Kensaku realized just how foolish he looked. "Oh. I see. Erm- back to the mission." He muttered, wearing an embarrassed expression as he stepped away and waited for Mitei to explain what Seijiro-Sama said.

"Oh, that seems like a piece of cake! He said confidently after Mitei explained their situation. Seeing the image of the filthy cursed spirit that Mitei presented, Kensaku gagged. "When I imagined cursed spirits, I kinda just thought of them as Pokèmon...I'm sorry that I ever disrespected the series like that. That is one nasty lookin' creature." He said, joking about their hideous appearance to get a laugh out of his brothers. "Oh, that seems like a piece of cake!" He said confidently after Mitei explained their situation.

He said, joking about their hideous appearance to get a laugh out of his brothers. He listened to his brother's ground rules, knowing that if he didn't listen— he would be snatched by his neck yet again. "Kinda thought that was common sense but whatever you say, fearless leader!" Kensaku giggled, mocking Mitei for his efforts as a leader. Kensaku respected his attempt to appear responsible, but Kensaku has also known Mitei his whole life. He knew him through the bed-wetting phase, which was hilarious. He knew him through the moody teen phase, which was irritating. Kensaku did recognize the fact that as his older brother and official leader, Mitei would always hold some sort of authority. But he definitely wasn't going to act like his soldier.

After half an hour of walking at a steady pace, the great Unmei trio had finally reached the plain of grass that stood before Forest Onyx. Kensaku's black boots pressed into the soil and his peach skin glistened in the sunlight that broke the clouds. During the entirety of the walk, Kensaku blabbered on about the most random things. His current topic was about how he ended his most recent relationship. Such a tragic event. They had just made it to three weeks! "And I was all like, 'Well if my hair doesn't look cool then screw off ya' ugly pig!' " He said, expecting shocked reactions and dropped jaws. He continued to trudge further into the forest and once the sunlight was no longer on him, he felt chills crawl up his spine. "Yuck...it's creepy here." Kenskau slowed his pace as an effect of his anxiousness. As he continued to trudge further, something menacing came into view. A corpse-like figure stood hunched before him, spewing its crimson blood outwards. An already uneasy and stressed Kensaku did not pair well with such a sudden gory image. He hurled over, projecting throw-up outwards before he had a chance to distance himself. The taste of vomit running up his throat was absolutely vile, as was the sight of that bloody being. While Kensaku has been in somewhat brutal fights, he's never once seen an eye hanging from its socket. The closest thing to this horrible experience was his Mortal Kombat game, which pales in comparison when it comes to how disgusting it is. Kensaku paused before picking his head up, to mentally prepare himself to look at the corpse. He used his sleeve to clean the residual barf and just before he was about to look up...

MILLIONS OF CORPSES LAID BEFORE HIM.

What had once been a dark forest of varying greenery was now a plateau of armored bodies laying on top of each other. Such a grotesque sight left Kensaku at a loss for words, with his jaw remaining dropped and his eyes widened. He attempted to force words out of his mouth, but fear had suspended him in a state of pure paralysis. He spotted two figures fighting under a scarlet sky. Based on what he was currently seeing, Kensaku assumed that he was not even on Earth. No current country that he's learned about sends millions of soldiers in crimson armor to their death and not instantly blow the scene to hell. Thoughts of panic ran across his mind, but the most prominent question was, "What the fuck am I looking at?" Before he could even attempt to deduce a reasonable answer, something repulsive slithered into his line of sight. His soul nearly jumped out of his body and his heartbeat even faster than before. Still feeling unable to speak, he looked up, only to see himself being devoured by another strange creature. Finally, he shouted.

"NO NO NO, FUCK! I CAN'T DIE! I'M NOT READY TO DIE YET! MY PURPOSE, I HAVEN'T FOUND IT!" He roared, absolutely terrified that he'd die without completing his only aspiration. For the longest time he's wanted a purpose, and he promised himself that he wouldn't die without finding it and becoming the best at it. Was he really going to fail this early? "LET ME OUT, FUCKER!" When he yelled this, he realized that he was back in the forest, with his brothers right next to him. Their presence didn't assist in any way, though. Kensaku had just witnessed something that not even the most hardened men have seen. So much death. He began hyperventilating, finding it difficult to breathe. "We- we gotta go... WE GOTTA GET THE FUCK OUT!" He yelled at his brothers, falling back onto the ground. The shakiness and panic in Kensaku's voice was certainly unsettling, as neither Mitei nor Katsumi have ever heard him so scared. It was up to them to get him back in a fighting spirit, because right now...he was on the verge of quitting.

LAKE OOZORA

FOREST ONYX

After the gameplay was settled, the three went on their way. The trip was far from simple, and any newcomer could get lost. That wasn't going to be a problem though. Thankfully, the trio still memorized their way, and decided to go through Forest Onyx, rather than taking the trail around. To counter the boredom and silence which came with the long walk, Kensaku dropped some interesting stories. Though Mitei couldn't say the same for Katsumi, he was very invested in them, which ultimately slowed their trip down a bit, but definitely made it seem shorter.

"Oh, for real? I ain't know you got down like that" He joked, entering the forest with chills running down his back. Immediately, he could tell something was off, like a weight was set on his shoulders. A wave of energy washing over him, setting the ominous and dark tone. Which he ignored. Foolishly. Trying to present himself as a fortified leader, he kept it pushing, until his body froze.

The terror didn't even regulate mentally, his body reacting on instinct — and once it actually hit him, he almost passed out. A gut wrenching scene, it was, almost throwing up along with Kensaku. But him being the leader, he had to keep it together, tending to his brother Kensaku before himself. "Aye, calm down, you good — Ken — KENSAKU! " Before Mitei could finish his sentence, Kensaku's body went limp and his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Mitei wasn't interested in medical fields, so he couldn't diagnose him. Maybe it was a type of shock? could he be going into a seizure? So many questions, but little answers, and these little answers had him bent.

"Katsumi, keep an eye on him, try to wake him up" He commanded as he whipped his head towards the towering corpse. Lake Oozora [S1-E0] LSfHTzEEsaca48Gg_MEURKsWDxFKwf4uBCCgLR0RWDQWeA8FStqo0A-j25BKsNl0bLlwX49sD0pfAg4ZQhKETSsGHgKbQUximSVKzesgzcPypJuSP5hkrIbTlm0GD8SeYuYxJJhi=s0

Mitei slid towards the cover of a tree as he gathered a rather small rock into his right palm, launching it so hard a whistle followed. Before the rock could make contact with the corpse, it fell on it's own and the rock had it's fall cushioned by dead leaves and grass. This confused Mitei greatly. So much so, he went to investigate. Cautiously stepping over twigs and making little to no sound. Approaching the human who'd soon be resting with the dinosaurs. Looking to its side, spotting an oddly figured skull, a piece of paper slotted in the jaws. Reaching down and swiftly snatching it. His eyes wandering around to see if anything were to happen because of it, dropping his attention back down to the paper. Unfolding it and reading it.

"A poem..?" He read it softly out loud to himself, trying to reveal it's meaning. Scanning it briefly, his eyes locking on the title. Latin. Being within a government run family, he and his siblings were taught the basics of many languages, though he never dove deeply into any of them besides Greek, English, and Chinese. Using some of his knowledge of Latin with his knowledge of Greek combined to figure out what it's meaning was. "Going out…? Ruin….exit??....this doesn't make sense— Huh?" while he was trying to figure out the meaning, Kensaku suddenly woke up. Mitei rushing back, he would lower himself down to take control, allowing Katsumi to back off.

"Woah, woah, woah -- WOAH -- CALM DOWN! LISTEN, LISTEN TO ME!" He would quiet him quickly "I don't know what the absolute FUCK happened, but you gotta stick with us. We spent hours, days, weeks, months, YEARS! YEARS PREPARING FOR THIS. Do you really want that to go to waste? If not then STAND THE HELL UP!" He held his hand and used it to lead Kensaku to his feat. Slowing his breaths, and resting his hand on his shoulder. "Breathe. Okay? Breathe. I won't let a single thing happen to you guys, alright? I won't let danger even get a sight of you, nor Katsumi, no matter what it requires me to do. Just trust me...keep your head on your neck, and allow me to guide you. We can make it through anything. 'There is no obstacle, no test, that you can't pass. As long as you're willing to work through it'. Remember when Mom told us that? When we thought the end of the world was going to school? It applied then, and it still applies now. As long as you want it, you can have it. So let's go get it!." Mitei wasn't one for pep talks, motivational speeches, but he had to do what he had to do to get his brother's head back in the game. Ending the talk with a reassuring smile and a pat on his back. Treading through the forest once more, keeping his brothers tight, practically attached to his side. Finally back on track, heading towards their destination once more.

◣ — ]KATSUMI UNMEI.] — ◥

Katsumi walked with his brothers into the forest, following behind them due to his own lack of knowledge of the paths of forest onyx. As they walked, Katsumi fixed his clothes, realizing that they were all wrinkled and not properly buttoned up. Headphones on his head, listening to music, he kept following his brothers as they felt a lurking sense of evil grow, getting stronger with each step they took. At first, Katsumi took a small mental note of it as he kept his headphones on, while also listening to his brother, kensaku's stories and fixed his somewhat large yet comfortable and flexible jacket and his white button up shirt and tightening the belt on his pants. As they got closer to the evil energy, Katsumi got a smirk that slowly grew into a whole grin as he also noticed that this energy didn't feel complete and felt broken. It felt like a puzzle… a puzzle he should- no, a puzzle he needs to complete. It felt like it was calling to him, his secret, sick nature. Every step he took synced with his heart beat, which was calm due to him being able to keep his composure more easily than his brothers. As he noticed his brothers getting anxious, he realized that he wasn't as affected by the energy but wasn't sure why.

"This energy isn't complete... It feels symbiotic and kinda... metamorphic? In simpler terms, it feels like it's not complete, it feels like it can change and can bond to create a relationship with a host."

Kat spoke, explaining the energy to the two, while to help the two understand it better but also due to the fact that his thoughts are easier to focus on when spoken out loud. While Katsumi may seem cold-hearted, he cares about his family so he became slightly worried seeing their expressions and tense and slower movements. His footsteps suddenly stopped dead in their tracks as he saw the standing corpse. His expression turned from one of indifference to shock. Though this was short lived as he saw kensaku puking his guts out. He saw as his brother went limp onto the ground, instantly running to action. Luckily Katsumi had some knowledge in the medical field so he knew what to do in case of something like this happening. He quickly ran to check his pulse, seeing as it was okay enough for this situation, he grabbed his legs and lifted them in the air, thinking that Kensaku fainted. He knew that waking him up forcibly would only make whatever's happening to him worse so he could only speed up the process. This happened before Mitei could even give him the command.

He saw as Mitei went towards the corpse, keeping an eye on Mitei more while looking back to kensaku occasionally to see any changes to him. He saw the corpse fall from afar and Mitei going towards it. He could tell that whatever the thing there was, it was that evil energy that was growing as they went closer. He saw as his brother lifted an oddly shaped skull from the ground, barely being able to see the piece of paper that Mitei took out of it. As he looked back to kensaku, kat heard kensaku yell suddenly, making his heart rate spike for a second, dropping kensaku's legs to clutch his heart. As he did this, he saw Mitei race past him to Kensaku, not feeling the evil energy with him, making him snap to where it originally was.

As Kensaku and Mitei were focused on each other, Katsumi ran towards the oddly shaped skull and quickly grabbed it, hiding it inside his jacket and hiding its presence by making him release more cursed energy as a cloak for it. One may think that Katsumi was taking it back for nefarious and evil reasons which was originally what was going to happen but now that this skull seemingly made Kensaku this scared, Kat would take his revenge on this being. He was going to combine whatever being this is just to make it suffer. Kat did not care how small of an effect it had on Kensaku in the long run, this being hurt his family and he would make it hurt infinitely more times than how much it did to Kensaku. Seeing Kensaku scared and yelling, Katsumi ran back, grabbing Kensaku's hand and speaking gently, hoping his usual calming presence would calm him down.

"Hey, it's okay bro. We're fine. It was only a false alarm by the enemies to make us scared of them. It seems like they used an illusion trick on you to make you lose your will to fight but don't worry, it was only an illusion. You have your family to protect you. Kensaku was releasing the least amount of cursed energy out of us all so let's make it so that we all release some more cursed energy because that seems like how they attacked Kensaku with their cursed technique."

Katsumi smiled at the end, hoping it would be enough to calm Kensaku down with Mitei's speech. Katsumi completely lied at the end of his rant, which would be pretty convincing considering his brothers are shaken up and he's a good liar too. Katsumi at this time felt angry, just like at the private school but no one knew about both his silent rage or the correlation between him and the incident at the school. He lifted Kensaku up, as they started walking back to their destination, hoping none of them knew that he took the skull. In his mind, he had one recurring thought going through his head.

MAKE WHOEVER MADE KENSAKU TERRIFIED SUFFER.

Lake Oozora [S1-E0] Comic-art-your-name-kimi-no-na-wa-wallpaper-preview

Team Unmei had finally reached their destination, which was Lake Oozora, after a thirty-minute walk through Forest Onyx. It was safe to assume that the boys wanted to take a different route home once they were finished with their exams after experiencing what they did. Despite the revelations Kensaku saw, the paper Mitei read, and the skull Katsumi found, it was poetic because they chose not to disclose it, keeping a secret, for now at least; the brothers reached the lake line and noticed the sun's blinding shine of light stake into the wide body of cyan water, reflecting its soft shift of white sparkles under the seraphic sky. The change of pace allowed everyone to take a breather by soaking in the sun's run of rays. This was also a moment for one of them to mention their discovery with surface-level information.

[Listen & Read]

Ten peaceful minutes passed. The symbiotic energy that Katsumi and everyone felt from earlier resurfaced into the air once again; the thick presence of murder crept on the back of their necks at once, which would've made them feel like something stood right behind them if they didn't turn around. A swell of energy entered the area from the sky at the center of the ocean. Four cursed spirits clad in tan hooded robes hovered fifty feet in the air. Feeling their great signatures of power were enough to paralyze team Unmei to stare in fear and wonder. "Let them bring light to Japan once again!!!" the blue sky washed over with an intense crimson, similar to what Kensaku saw. The cursed spirit at the helm of the unit created a spear of fire with its right hand. It launched the bomb of energy at the water which pierced the bottom of the lake, creating a strange sound that reverberated through the air by 145,937 mi², reaching all of Japan. The water boiled and release thick lines of steam. If the boys weren't careful they would've been hit by this water and had their skin burned off, even with them using cursed energy as protection. An explosion of fire erupted from underneath the lake causing heated water to rain over the area. Would the Unmei boys take cover or would one of them perform a protective technique?

Flames and black smoke lived within the lake, cooking it. The four curses looked to each other and joined hands as they lowered themselves by ten feet to be in better view for the boys if they survived the rain showers. The curses fused and became one entity built with a mix of supernatural and immense ability with cursed energy that felt boundless. "I am Diablos, a servant to my master, Nakaiten, and the one that stands above the four deaths." Such power instilled oppression into one's will from presence alone. Diablos' exhaustion of cursed energy heated the air's molecules, making it difficult to get close to him within a twenty-foot range. In other words, they'd be burned alive. He held his right palm up and released a cannon of fire their way. Any technique they created to protect themselves wouldn't have worked because Diablos' flames had a natural property to burn the enemy's cursed energy away into nothingness. The three all had a choice to high tail it or to fight. If they ran, it wouldn't be easy at all.
