22 19 Unparalleled Fighter
"~Giving up so soon, disciple?" A voice spoke in an amused tone, emerging from beside him…someone all too familiar to him
Satoru Gojo
"Sat-!" Superboy tried to get out by the pain his body contracted his throat and halted his speech
'Even he got beat up…almost died as well' Gojo thought and even though only subconsciously, felt a sense guilt well up so small that even he didn't notice it
"Yo! Looks like you guys got pretty banged up as well~ man what a mess" He said before taking out his phone and snapping a few shots of Superboys downed body, "Hehe Gonna show this to M'gann, see how cool you are to her now keke"
Taken aback by the all too flippant attitude of the guy before him, he could only smile at his antics, 'This guy never changes'
And it was then he finally embraced the scene before him for what it was.
Blood splattered the wall near him and only three of the four orginal beasts remained - eerily watching as if weary of the man that stood next to Superboy
The golden glimmer of hope and relief washed over him for Gwen under the protection of the strong what can one hope to do but feel safe
'…I was about to give up wasnt I?' Superboy though to himself with lament lacing his thoughts, 'Damn how stupid can I get?
M'gann. Satoru. Hell even the guy I'm trying so hard to prove myself to
I should've listened.
Im going to live experience all the things I could never inside that pod
I will get my original to recognise me and that guy…' Superboys gaze Glenda over the sung figure of Satoru, 'I'll show him how strong I am.'
Standing up on his feet with a heave, the clone arose with a new invigorated aura shrouding his demeanour
"Naps over. Let's finish this mis-!" But before Superboy could get anything out he was sat back down by Satoru as quickly as he arose
"Woah woah, you're bleeding everywhere forget about completing this mission by the time I clean this shit show up, you'll be dead from blood loss," He narrated with a rare frown, "~Just sit back for now and watch me carry this team"
With a snap of his fingers the trio of roided up shadows were alll pulled to one singular point, colliding into each other gruesomely
"But wait! There's more~!" Satoru raised his index finger and blue orb the size of a marble swirled at the summit of it, "[Cursed Technique Amplification: Blue]!"
Drawing the ball across the room it crushed and compressed the husk of former humans into red balls of blood that transformed states and diffused into the air
"Now~!" Turning his head to Superboy with hands waving, "Let's go grab Aqualad and we'll be on our merry way!"
Satorus hand grasped Superboys shoulders and without protest from the already adapted clone, they warped the space around them disappearing
…
…
The scene was merciless as Satoru decapitated the heads of the beasts immediately at the sight of them
Grabbing hold of their malformed heads and ripping them from their torsos with ease - one by one they fell until finally with a satisfied glint in his veiled eyes he gripped the metallic head of the final obstacle
"So Mr Supervillain with a cliché design~" the sound of metal scratching and clunking together, echoing the strength Satoru was putting into it, "How ya been treating my friends over here?"
"The transferring of information that the fog has collected has already begun, it's a fruitless effort - if I were you I'd be more in a rush to check on your friends. I heard Deathstroke is one hell of a-!"
"Cut the chit chat~ your voice is pissing me off." Gojo's words echoed coldly with he hue of the six eyes in full effect but even with the pressure boring down on the villain, the human's foolish need to test their luck every time overcome the need for survival
"You're a hero, aren't you? You ain't intimidating anyone kid. Kill me. I'll rather die then reveal any information I know" The villain snidely remarked with a smirk but before the grin could widen any further, a crushing sound was heard
"Hm..Sure~" The air shifted as Superboy shakily moved to stop Satoru and Aqualad cried out even though he seemed to be most injured
"Satoru! NO!" Aqualad screamed from his position, eve
Clutching his mechanical head, Satoru ripped ot from his body as electricity flew everywhere and the villains eyes rolled back and dilated instantly
"Relax~ I'm not going murder hobo just yet" Satoru reassured but the last part of his sentence seemed a little too ominous that Aqualad liked it to be
"What about M'gann and the others? Are they safe?" Superboy spoke up, with a desperate need to know
"Yeah I went there before I came here and saved them from the bomb placed in the school thanks t-"
""Bomb?!"" Aqualad and Superboy questioned in unison both equally as anxious
Scratching the back of his head, Gojo frowned before speaking, "Yeah the hunting dogs sent the entire school up in flames KABOOM!" Gojo narrated with egregiously bad sound effects
"Hm" Aqualad muttered, as he threw himself into contemplation before questioning even further, "The fog?"
"Fog? Hm…oh~!" Scavenging around in his pockets he retrieved a compressed clumped up ball of metal that he threw into Lads hands
"T-This is…." Lad failing to finish his sentence as his answer was already in hand - literally
"Yep~! Pretty easy to track them down before I came here seeing as how they're a swarm of nanobots roaming Gotham" A smug smirk painted his face whilst he boastfully explained how easy everything was
'I see..Satoru solved everything. Everything we failed to accomplish - everything I failed to accomplish' Aqualad clenched his fist, 'But still…'
Lad tried to hold back a lingering thought from erupting but his own moral dilemma got the best of him
It was clear for Gojo to see - clear as his emotions that fluctuating at the bodies of the shadows
"Still..Satoru. Those shadows you killed could have been treated, cured of whatver the serum may have altered in their DNA. Your methods were far too brutal and merciless," Aqualad spoke with frustration laced with anger portrayed in his voice
The six eyes pierced the eyes of Aqualad as an righteous unwavering force met pure apathy until finally the state off ended as Satoru smirked
"~Whatever you say Leader. I'll try to improve myself as you wish," Satoru clapped his hands in finality before saying, "Now can we get going cause you and your teammates need medical help….unless you want to take over from here"
"Correct. I'll handle this situation now" A solemn voice spoke from behind them, one that has known sadness, one that had known grief anger and vengeance.
Draped in black abd the night himself. All eyes turned to the man who embodied the very essence of fear in this city
The Batman
"~Finally here. Huh? Took you long enough…."

- -Gojo POV- -
Night had fallen and after todays events the team - those with less serious injuries- were briefly questioned before being brought back to the base to rest
And yet I couldn't rest or sleep only open my eyes and think
A man that thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts
I slouched up against the wall positioned by my bed and surveyed the room
Other than my Transformers Megan Fox poster, it was bare bones - practically plain
'Fitting since i barely spend time in here but still - a console or PC wouldn't hurt to add and maybe more variety when it comes to models. How about I bring Itadoris memory to this world and hang Jennifer Lawrence up there as we-'
Slapping my face, I brought more direction to my thoughts, 'I'm getting too sidetracked'
'The events of today. Klarions introduction.Speedys death now Deathstroke and that army of roided up junkies/shadows. Everythings changed.
It's stupid to ignore it entirely. The system said that the world would be altered to fit my existence but I never actually asked the question of by how much
When Klarion possessed Speedys body he mentioned something… "Its always you Gojo brats that spoil the game!"
A chaos lord knows of the Gojo clan and from his words they've gotten the best of him multiple times
Were the Gojo clan just that full of badasses?
Probably but if according to Batman, they were just completely wiped from the face of the Earth along with the rest of jujustu sorcerers
So the clan powerful enough to challenge an entity like Klarion were just wiped out. Something doesn't feel right'
Two possible conclusions came to mind
One. Klarion being a little coward that he is, wiped them out along with the rest of jujustu society when a six eyes + limitless user Gacha pull rate was on cooldown
Two. Someone or something had the power to kill a fully realised six eyes + limitless user
A much more eerie conclusion to go off of especially when I have barely even scratched the threshold to become fully realised
Lying down back into my beds embrace, feeling Dream calling to me
Something is coming. I feel it on an instinctual level
These events are just stepping stone to something more grander
Something that asks me the question, whispering in my ear
Can I continue to be The Strongest or wiill I die trying?
