In Force [Culling Games Prep]

[u/SadAd3095]

Takako Uro was sitting on her bed, she was staying somewhere simple, she’d visit Zen often but didn’t stay over at his place or anything…

It was uncomfortable… she still felt like maybe she moved too fast… or couldn’t get enough righ- no… honestly she regrets her own indecision about it… truthfully she wishes she moved in earlier… she’d have been safe… safer… maybe…

But what she’s thinking stopped mattering moments ago… when someone… some figure… bursted into the room…

A malevolent presence she thought she’d never have the displeasure of feeling again…

Uro: “…. S- Sukuna…”

The woman entered into the dim lighting…

Suki: “I need more widespread coverage… and you’re a two for one bargain. Get angry.. get mad… struggle. Because I need Shigaraki to do the same… I’d like to get our old little gang back together and you make the perfect hook, and line.”

Uro looks up at her.

Uro: “… The new culling games…? My original second shot…?”

Sukuna: “Make of it what you will. You won’t be alone.”

Uro: “… I will.”

It hurt, Suki knew what she meant by it. Hesitation, Uro was surprised… but the surprise was short lived as everything went black.

The Queen Of Curses showed up at Zen Shigaraki’s door.

Suki: “Zen? Are you there?”

She waits at his door having knocked thrice.

“Ryoma. What is it? I’m helping Nine with his quirk usage.”

“I’ve been keeping tabs on those familiar in the area. Notoriety’s pretty fun and her being one of the few from my era, it’s nice to have troubadours every once in awhile…”

(Troubadours are people who sing another’s praises… or in Suki’s case… talk up how scary she was.)

“Doesn’t matter to you really how. It’s “What.” That concerns you.

She sighs.

“Uro is a cursed object. Incarnated for the purpose of the culling games. As such… she’s been forced to participate… I have no problem doing what I can to get her out of the crossfire.”

She nods.

“But I’d like you on my side.”

She pauses for a moment.

“You can choose whether you’d like to be an official player or just a hazard like the rest of us… but I want you to become a danger, a terror, perhaps like you once were in one of the colonies. We have old connections and the more Kenjaku thinks everyone connected to me is playing along, along with myself…. The less he’ll be thinking about what little things I’m doing that lets someone… slip past.”

“Do you understand what I’m getting at, Zen?”

“One last dance, one you’re likely to be quite familiar with, and you can save her.”

his eyes go cold, a thin layer of permafrost forms around him like ice cold veins

“……………I see.”

if she has superhuman hearing she can hear the aggressive chattering of Nomu in his base under the house, but once Zen went silent…… as did they

“…………………….i shall partake in this so called game. She will not know I joined, nor what I have done in the colony of my choosing. She believes I’ve changed. And I’ve tried to. This is the last time the demon lord has his fun.

But very well.

Do your damndest to ensure her survival….”

he’d have added a threat at the end, BUT he’s aware he’s not QUITE powerful enough to do so seriously

She read his mind to know the intention.

“Would I have come to tell you if I wasn’t planning on it? She’ll be working with others in my fold since she’s likely here against her will… I have no idea as to who though as I’d need to figure out her colony and we don’t have that kinda time… but we’re spread well. Hell, even your “King Of Flesh” is present somewhere…”

[u/bold-One2199 → u/SadAd3095]

“…….what are the existing colonies?”

[u/SadAd3095 → u/bold-One2199]

“… Freiza Force, Infinity Castle, Fogland, Z-City, and as irony would of course have it… U.A. Highschool. Perhaps Kenjaku has a sense of humor?”

[u/bold-One2199 → u/SadAd3095]

“…….ill take UA. For… reasons. I care not for kenjaku’s humor.”

[u/SadAd3095 → u/bold-One2199]

“Works for me. Be seeing you, demon lord.”

She nods to you and starts off.

[u/bold-One2199 → u/SadAd3095]

“…”

…one final time.
