Higanbana Swifty dodges each attack with a sultry look towards her targets. "You fools cannot make me panic." she leaped forward and opened her sensu fan. She swung upwards to slice Makima's torso but missed when Gabimaru grabbed her wrist to change her direction of attack. A sneer painted the goddess's face.

"Traitor," she whispered in disgust and spat on him. She used her free hand to snap her fingers and just like that the rainbow dragon speed blitzed into Gabimaru's body, flying him across the battlefield. Gojo used this chance to get in between the fight and successfully strike a black flash twice behind the goddess's back. Higanbana arched her back feeling the intense physical strike. "You lowlives." her teeth clenched as her eyes squinted with despair. She growled at the sorcerers.

Makima pointed her hand shaped like a gun towards the woman's face, " Bang." An invisible attack struck directly in Higanbana's face as Gojo struck another black flash behind her. These two repeat the cycle to attack the cursed spirit. Higanbana's body rocked to the attacks, she grunted as her body took all the blows she felt from her foes. Raijin and Fujin aid the two sorcerers by attacking Higanbana's blind spots.

On the other hand, Gabi held dear life onto the dragon's chin. The bright beast roars with rage steaming out of its mouth and ears as it flies around like a headless chicken. The swoosh noise invaded the sorcerer's eardrums as the dragon came close to destructive builds to have the sorcerer's body ruined. Gabimaru dealt with the razor pains taking over his senses as he gripped the dragon's jaws tightly. Misumi was on top of the dragon, giving it directions as she laughed at the pitiful look appearing on her father's face. "Misumi, this is not you. I know that woman corrupted your mind but hear me out!" Gabimaru knew he was very much capable of holding this beast but how could he when his own flesh and blood was on top of it? Gabi already knew this was Higanbana's plan, to mess with his mental and emotional state but he didn't have a choice but to deal with it until a plan could cretp up his mind.

" Misumi, listen to me! You have to come to your senses or whatever that woman did to you. Your mother misses you and just wants you back." he yells at the top of his lungs, hoping his words click with her emotions.

Misumi suddenly stopped laughing, however, Gabi's hopes weren't high since the dragon was still ramming him all over the battlefield. Misumi leaned her body to look into her father's eyes. The red eyes on the little girl were dark, with no sight of life in them as her lips curved into a disgusted twitching grin. "My mother is already by my side. You filthy humans are nothing but garbage to be handled properly. Now shut it and take your fate for betraying Mother, you pathetic mongrel." although Misumi's voice was light with a hint of a kiddish tone this time it was dark, with no sight of the innocent voice that Gabimaru heard before. This wasn't the Misumi he knew before. His thought was stopped when the dragon went full speed ahead to crush the sorcerer into the last standing building that was left in Shibuya. Gabimaru felt the brutal impact on his body as the cursed dragon spirit rammed him into the building. The shattered glass pieces pierced through his body as the stone exploded from the collision that happened. The hole was created on the floor as the office tables and chairs fell from the level under. The amount of furniture that was falling was just making the building more unstable. The dragon teeth penetrated Gabi's forearm as Misumi smirked at the sight. "I wonder if your body can handle that fall," she questioned as Gabi's body dangled in mid-air. The suspense was lingering heavy in the air as the only sounds made were the creaking of the legs that whole the building and the pieces of furniture descending to the bottom of the building that's fifty feet deep.

"I have a feeling you will test that theory out."

"I will . . ."

"Before you do, Misumi, this isn't you. She is just using you like how she did me."

" Huh? Don't you dare speak of Mother in an ill fashion way. She saved me, she loves me."

"She is manipulating you," Gabi grunted as the dragon slowly put more pressure on his forearm, the blood was leaking and falling onto his face. The amount of time he smeared it all over his face made him look like a clown with a bad makeup style.

" She told me you were going to do this and not to believe a single word from your lips. All you sorcerers do is lie and destroy. Peace shall come forth when we wipe all of you out."

Gabi sighed at the view above him and couldn't believe he let that woman damage his own child's mind. It was infuriating to see this knowing he couldn't do anything to save her. He refuses to break his word to Makima and especially to himself. " Peace will come forth once Higanbana is gone. Your real mother Makima is on the battlefield fighting everything she has to bring you back. Your uncle Gojo is risking his life for you. You don't know me well but you know those two, they love you more than anything on this earth, you have to trust me! Misumi, fight her doing and come back to us!" he pathetically screams, giving it all he has to bring his child back. What he thought was an illusion at first was Misumi's face softening up as tears slowly were coming to her eyes, she heard her father pleading with her as she lightly bit her lips.

"It's you again . . . I waited for you but you never came." her voice was light, fragile, and scared. A bittersweet smile was brought to the man's lips as he was about to speak again until Misumi smacked herself across her face, leaving a red printed hand on her cheek. "Good riddance. . . " she harshly mutters, leaving Gabi confused as the dragon finally let him free to fall to his death.

" That enough . . ." Higanbana violently whispers as she gripped both Makima and Gojo's wrists. She used his brute strength to raise them up as a shield to block herself from the brother's cursed spirit attack. Thinvivable but strong wind came speeding towards them mixed with the deadly lightning. The two sorcerers grunted feeling the intense shock on their bodies. After their body fed off the attack, Higanbana simply tossed them aside as she dusted her hands together. "Now to my beloved, Gabi." she started to catwalk away from the down sorcerers heading in the direction where Gabi was.

" You . . ." a panting voice called out to her filling with fury.

Higanbana cock her head to the side to see the pink-haired teen. " You really did come back. How pleasant to bring your soul to me." she seductively smirked as she fully turned her body to face him. Her aurora was villainous but her beauty contradicted that. Yuji wanted to know if this was the right target that caused all of this, he questioned his gut and questioned why a goddess like her would walk in this path.

"BRAT, DON'T THINK YOU, FOPODOODLE!" Raijin shouted to snap Yuji out of it.

Yuji subconsciously shook his head as he stood on guard while taking a sneak peek at Makima and his sensei's body on the ground. Gojo was getting up as Makima grunted some more. Yuji took a deep breath and took another look at Higanbana. "I'm ready to switch," he utters as a sinister laugh erupts within him. The markings started to appear on his face as the evil snarky grin revealed itself.

" Oh? My, my. Look who we have here. Sukuna." Higanbana eyed down the body as her brow hoisted with so much curiosity.

" I have no clue who you even are but you will make a tasty meal." Sukuna bit his lips as he dashed at her not a second later. It was a tango of death between the two curses as Sukuna was striking her and Higanbana was smoothly dodging it and twirling around as she was performing a classical ballet piece in front of an audience. Once it has gotten repetitive Higanbana sighs out of boredom which frustrated Sukuna.

"Don't tell me you're tired already." Sukuna taunted the woman.

Higanbana backflipped when Sukuna tried to do an under-kick sweep. " Not tired. Just utterly bored with this fight."

"Huh?" Sukuna felt heavily insulted by this woman. No one ever said that to him or even thought that way." his eyes crinkle with despair as he clenches his fist. " Did I hear that correctly?" he questioned himself but it was more for her to change what she said.

Higanbana pointed her index finger at Sukuna," You cannot outdo the original, Sukuna." without more words the the three jumbo vines that were made from her pieced his body from the front through the back of his body. A strange substance started to ooze out of the vines, painting his body with a reddish/purplish color. "Ill manners these lowlives have . . ." she opened her fan and walked away but halted a second to look in the sky. " Do you two want to play some more?" the two brothers stood still and let the woman go since their master wasn't here to give them orders to follow. "That's what I thought," she returned to walking away.
