a funny thing- ch 24/25 word dump
WUAHAHAHA 4AM BABEY YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS
i’ve been cookin low and slow with this one and i mean real slow like. too slow . as in 2 weeks later whoops
this one’s a real doozy so grab a snack
FIRST PAGE ON THE GOSUKU TAG WHEN YOU SORT BY KUDOS LETS GOOOOOOO major rweiser W
———————————————
ch 24
thinking abt yuuji flying down the sidewalk and megumi becoming the equivalent of a flag whipping behind him pls yuuji not everyone can keep up 😭
fred says fuck
mmmmmm crunchy cookies i love me some egg shell
yeah with cooking, you can play around with the measurements and adjust along the way, but baking is whole different beast :[ i made creme brulee for our new year dinner, my first time baking actually, and i was terrified the entire process cus one wrong step and its over (they turned out good in the end, though i wanted to leave it in the fridge longer) 
sukuna and uraume on the same wavelength love that
daww megumi just be a kid its okay 
gojo’s nicknames for toji PLS father-fushi and fraidy-guro
hehehe he technically called sukuna pretty ,, i agree
LMAOOOOO AINT NO WAYY OFC HE SABOTAGED HIM 
i feel like toji would actually do well in getting sales (if he had the proper cookies) considering he’s “a pro at freeloading off women” which leads me to believe he’s got hella charisma . 
“Fushiguro stops just before the table, one hand balled into a fist so tight, the muscles of his arm are easy to see, flexing dangerously beneath his skin.” uwwheheheerhfbud sorry
OH SHT THE GIRLIES ARE FIGHTING YOOOOOOOO AND SUKUNA JUMPING IN FOR GOJO ???? in front of the kids in a school fundraiser is crazy lmao
pinky
gojo taking bets on who’s gonna win reminded me of mei mei betting on the gojo-sukuna fight
i had a crazy amount of secondhand embarrassment going thru that hhhhhh yknow that feeling when you just wanna curl up and cover ur eyes and you’re fighting to even look back ? yeaaaaa
“Hurting people is bad. And you’re not bad!” ohh yuuji ughhh he has no idea of what sukuna was before, that he’s done more than hurt people .. children really only see the side of their parents that they’ve allowed to show them. it’s why kids usually think the highest of them, so yuuji saying that sukuna’s not bad gets me cus he’s known and seen only the best of him. but it makes me feel gooey inside cus, while everyone else sees the former king of curses, yuuji sees his dad and when he does eventually find out, he’ll still always be his dad before anything else (does this make sense i hope it makes sense im trying to make my thoughts coherent)
oh hey they’re talking abt it !
I GASPED OH MY GOD PLEAS EOLASOE APLEAS EPLAS EPALEAPSLEAPSH NOOOOOOOOO FFGGHGBBVV HITTING MY BED GRFGHJVNGRRAAGGHHFEG
im being tortured i thinj you’re trying to kill me here this is the worst case of edging ive ever had in my life (no not like that) 
post-chapter notes:
IM ALREAYD RIOTING YASTOP BLUE BALLING ME
id read real housewives of jujutsu sorcery
————————————
ch 25
GRADE 1 ?? AS IN ONE ?? AS IN  O N E  ?? AS IN, YUUJI IS NO LONGER A PRESCHOOLER
when you said small time-skip, i thought you meant a few months later . i was wrong
aight time to update the time board: yuuji’s in first grade so he’s 6 yrs old, we’re in 2013 now (i think), gojo is 24 yrs old  23 yrs old (chap takes place during summer, bday not passed yet)
it’s 2013, he can get a 3ds now :D im gonna get him on smash bros . OR KID ICARUS UPRISING IT SHOULD BE OUT ALREADY
they should totally name the potential pet after me (jk)
OKAYYYY THATS A START HE KISSED HIM ON THE HEAD !! WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE :O now go lower. preferably on the li
oh yeah yeah definitely not together whatever helps you sleep at night man
im gonna need the bad bitches birthday bash one-shot someday with the way shoko’s bringing it up
the fact gojo’s heard the threat so many times before that he can finish it and brush it off
CANDY CRUSH  !!?!??
AWWWWWW THATS ADORABLE ;____; sukuna wanting to do something to surprise gojo’s first day as a teacher and yuuji suggesting to make a cake cus he knows his daddy loves sweets AND they spent the whole day prepping awawawawaw so cutee
they called on uraume for help too LOL poor them 
yuuji being a snitch HA i can’t help but think of my siblings
you can’t be serious gojo, not after that? people also don’t usually sleep and cuddle the homies cmon man
mother is mothering and mother is leading the herd (no but i love how he adapted to the role very easily, likely to prior experience)
whuh the fundraiser was last year ? am i overthinking the timeframe … ok im back after going thru the calendar that makes sense 👍 carry on wait hold on first semester of first grade ended so they’re on break ... summer break ?? unless this is going off of a different schooling system (oh yeah duh japan lol)
ohhh please let them meet mama-guro i can imagine the absolute shock on their faces trying to comprehend how someone like toji managed to marry someone like her 😭 bonus points if toji is much more softer around her too and the sheer whiplash of seeing him having ANY sort of loving side is enough to send gosuku into a spiral
“It’s exactly the type of thing Sukuna would never be caught dead wearing, which means Satoru must do all in his near-infinite power to make him wear it.” real
THESE THREE ARE RIDICULOUS LMAOOOOOO sorry kids your fathers are busy trying to one-up each other
“But, then again, these are just go-karts; how much damage could he really do?” famous last words before disaster
oh no
hey sukuna’s living life at least he’s having fun and that’s all that matters 🥰
not the pyramid projectiles
CONICAL AMMO !?$&7)-)26 MARIO KART IRL GONE WRONG oh my god its too late for this i need to sleep
OH MY GOD ?????? 
WHADDYA MEAN THEY’RE GONE ??????
post chap notes:
what just happened
no really what jusr happened
the amount of times i’ve said oh my god throughout the entire go-kart scene i was clutching my pearls
he recreates his reign in the silliest ways, all while wearing nice little red bow :3
nah i get it the entire first arc was dedicated to how messed up he was abt suguru so i understand the doubts but they’ve also near kissed multiple times .. unless they were super down with kissing the homies 
“I sure hope nothing bad has happened to them...” STOP

LMK Tickle headcanons
-Macaque is a sneaky lil mf, he can come out of the shadows and attack you when you least expect it. And you better believe he's not above using his shadow clones or shadow ribbons to inmobilize you by pining you down or holding your limbs or just join the fun by teaming up with original Macaque when wrecking you, Wukong knows this by first hand expierence.
-On top of that, if you try running away, tough luck cause his superhearing makes it hard enough to hide from him as he can hear you by your breathing, heartbeat,blood flow and your limbs moving. Sometimes he likes messing with his victims by taunting them into revealing their ubication or making it seem that he genuinely doesn't know where they are just to ambush them a second later.
-His ears are his weak spot unfortanately, just softly brushing or blowing air on them gets him to yelp. Wukong loves doing that and he pays for that every single time.
-"Did you think you can attack me and get away unscathed? Think again, bud" is something he likes to say when he's getting revenge >:)
-The "Oh, Wukooong~!" is something he used to say when Mac chased SWK wanting to make him pay after the trickster pulled a prank on him.
-Macaque's laugh is actually soft which can shock people since he honestly looks like hed have a villain like laugh
-Wukong loves using his tail as an extra tool and, similar to Mac, he uses his powers to locate his victims like with his golden vision to find them or using his clones to help him and join the fun
-He loves taunting people by teasing them during tickling them like commenting on their laugh, how much they trash around, dropping the T word occasionally (which Mac absolutely cannot take) or making his lees ask for tickles (he loved doing that to mess with Mac)
-Wukong has a dad bod and his chubby tummy is a great spot to attack him as I imagine he's weak to raspberries or nibbles there.
-Wukong is more squirmy whereas Mac just takes it, going limp
.-Wukong laugh is louder than Mac's
-Wukong is not above cheating to get out of tickle attacks nor using his shapeshifting powers like turning into small animals to run away or using his clones as an escape
-Both Mac and Wukong are snitches about eachothers tickle spots. -Also I can totally see SWK and Mac putting their differences teaming up to gang up on someone. Like when MK is being a lil sassy or mischevious for both of their liking.
-Both genuinely like the feeling but are too stubborn to recognize it (Mac more than SWK)
-And as a fun fact,monkeys can also show attention by tickling eachother so I imagine the baby monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain might have snuck on Wukong occasionally to give him cheer up tickles.
-Red Son and Nezha both will rather die than admit that they're ticklish anywhere on their body. The only people who know are those close to them like Wukong with Nezha and Mei plus MK with Red Son.
-Nezha's laugh is actually softer and more childish like than he'd like to recognize.
-Since MK and SWK came from the same stone they have similar tickle spots like their sides and belly
-Mac, SWK and MK have fangs so they give little nibbles that although dont hurt, tickle like hell.
-Also MK just has lee vibes, whenever he tries being a ler, he gets taken down a peg.
This is so cute 😭❤️
Lee!Macaque and Lee!Wukong is everything to me ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing these headcanons it was wonderful

hiiii i really love your temehika art, this is probably a rly silly question but do you have any thoughts on where there relationship is around stormhail and their reactions to what happens to the other there? idk i rly enjoyed their stormhail chapters and think a lot about how they would handle each others
anway have a nice day c:
hello! thank you so much!! i'll put it under the cut since it's still technicallyyy spoilers also i wrote too much. hope you have a nice day too! and i hope my answer is satisfactory gjfhjka
personally, i like to believe that temehika had more of a slowburn relationship progression and i don't think they had anything interesting going on when their stormhail chapters happen... i do like to think of that as a turning point for their relationship though.
but first of all, i'll always link MakiFigaro's fic about their stormhail chapters intersecting because i think about it a lot... i think that even without temenos having any kind of particular interest in hikari, the thought of being unable to save another companion so soon after losing crick would just be too much for him...
i like to think that in crick's case, temenos was so strongly reminded of roi (also because of his relation to the church) that he was drawn to him immediately, almost too much and realizing too late that he was inadvertently dragging him into danger which wasn't something crick was prepared for unlike roi and jorg... you can see that temenos sort of pieces everything together during the stormhail chapter irt crick's similarity with roi and his little attempts to stop crick from investigating on his own but it's too late at that point o<-<
but when it comes to hikari, i think the realization comes slower for temenos... there are several similarities between the three (roi, crick, hikari) but i like that their earlier travel banters just sort of touch on it with temenos' chapter 2 calling hikari and crick his two trustworthy blades and i like to think that temenos is thinking of roi when he talks to hikari about ritsu in his chapter 2 banter... i think it's at hikari's chapter 4 banter when we begin to see how the way temenos treats hikari is different however, because he cautions hikari about trusting too easily but ultimately trusts him to make the right decision. with both roi and crick, it's like temenos almost feels obligated to be the one who keeps pushing them to doubt more often, but it's surprising (nice...) that he doesn't see hikari as someone who needs his guidance. (listen i know it's because the travelers can't make significant impacts on each other's stories but 1) i'm delusional and 2) i still think despite that, the fact that temenos doesn't even attempt to change hikari's mind and only offers a word of caution means a lot)
temenos' chapter 4 banter is where their connection really shines because they're the only two who talk so directly about how their losses affect themselves together? most likely because the banters have to assume that you haven't seen the other traveler's entire story yet, but since hikari already experiences so much loss in his chapter 1... 🥹 i think it's really nice that the game gave them that moment to talk about it a bit.
ok i got really sidetracked but that's only the first part of your question 😭 UH i'll try to keep the next part short... in terms of their reactions to each other's stormhail chapters, i think it makes the most sense for them to have split up after arriving in the city, and since hikari's banter in temenos' story takes place before crick's death, i feel like he would've been absent for it... (it feels like throne is the only one who was definitely near him at the time) so temenos is uh Distraught after hearing that hikari might've died at the castle mei bridge and especially after losing crick, he'd probably blame himself for not warning hikari more about rai mei's possible betrayal...
once hikari's returned to the group though, i think castti and hikari would try to comfort temenos since they have the most experience with grief. castti already tells him to take his time grieving in his chapter 2 and hikari would mostly just listen and stay by his side, i think...
anyway as per my first temehika fic (desert nights) i prefer to think of their relationship as only turning romantic after the events of the final chapter and epilogue. i think after losing kazan and with rai mei remaining in stormhail, as well as ascending the throne, he'd feel more isolated than ever and temenos similarly loses a real sense of purpose after repaying his debts to the dead and no longer having anyone to protect. that isn't to say i don't think their relationship can't start at any point tho ghjafdjk 20984903 temehikas existing in my head. simultaneously. anyway i seriously did write too much sorry about that hope it was enjoyable to read at least <3

Not me coming back to clutter ur inbox once more. (yes I'm tokrev anon once again. I feel so bad for cluttering ur inbox I'm so sorry. 😭). Omg I can't believe mila read that ask. I'm fangirling 😭😭🥰. Heeey!! I love u and ur work sm! U and nikka are such lovely people. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You asked about Phoenix, so here are some hcs I had for them and Shiloh. This got way longer than I expected. I'm so sorry that I keep sending you mammoth sized essays. 😂
Some facts about phoenix ortega
they were originally born in Buenos Aires, Argentina but moved to London when they were quite young (around 4 or 5 maybe).
they grew up near the soho area in London and they took up a part time job in a Hmong-Chinese restaurant, so they picked up some conversational mandarin there which they sometimes practice with shiloh.
at first phoenix didn't like Shiloh at all. they have a bunch of trust issues so they were a bit suspicious about shiloh's friendliness. they think people only act nicely when they want something from them always want something from them, that's how they thought life works kind of like a business transaction, the gang and being betrayed by one of the people closest to them taught them that.
phoenix is an ENTJ/INTJ, so sometimes they can come off across as cold and rude. They pretend to be cold and heartless, but on the inside they're just a broken person who yearns for the love that they were never really given by their parents.
Shiloh and Phoenix's friendship started off as a business relationship, which lowkey- turned into a one-sided rivalry which phoenix used as an excuse to spend more time with shiloh because of Mei lmao (would often have to go to shiloh's home for meetings and stuff like that idk 😂). Phoenix has a huge soft spot for dogs which they'll never admit to anyone. Shiloh often teased Phoenix about them being a completely different person as soon as Mei was in view. Phoenix would get flustered and dismiss the teasing by telling shiloh that he's just spewing bullshit like always.
Shiloh was also a bit reluctant about Phoenix due to their reputation but the more he got to know Phoenix the more he wanted to spend time with them. I guess he was rather curious and wanted to see what was hidden behind the walls that Phoenix constantly puts up.
After Tej's betrayal Phoenix didn't show up for some of the meetings and no one could get a hold of them and so since Shiloh was the only person that they knew Phoenix was close to they sent him to find them. After stopping at Phoenix's apartment, shiloh knocked for a while but there was no answer, but after a while Phoenix opened the door. They were wrapped around a blanket with a Hello Kitty mug filled with wine on one hand and a greggs sausage roll on the other. 💀
Love Island was playing in the background and they just sat in silence for a while (yes phoenix watches love Island, they keep up with every single episode 😭). Phoenix was in a coocon in the sofa and didn't want to get up. Shiloh suggested they go for a late night drive to the beach. Phoenix at first said no, but shiloh managed to make them accept after saying that they'll take mei along.
It was late at night,they drove in silence. They got to the beach and it was dark, they just sat and watched the stars. Their backs were back to each other because Phoenix didn't want to be seen being so vulnerable, they hate that part of themselves and didn't want shiloh to see it. Phoenix finally turned around just hugged Shiloh out of nowhere. Shiloh was so taken aback he almost fell back. He put his arms around Phoenix and rubbed their back telling them thatevrythings gonna be ok. Phoenix really needed to hear that because they completely broke down.
After that Phoenix fell asleep. Shiloh didn't want to wake them up and phoenix sleeps like a log, not even a fire alarm can wake this bitch up. 💀so they essentially carried them back to the car and drove them home.
The next day Phoenix woke up like "Oh fuck no what the fuck did my drunkass do? 💀". They were really flustered and embarrassed but they still wanted to thank shiloh for that day. They were at shiloh's door but they chickened the fuck out after knocking. Shiloh opens the door to find a giant packet of Meis favourite dog snacks with a note attached to it with Phoenix's shitty handwriting that just had a smiley face on it " :))".
After that they quickly became friends. Phoenix was not used to someone being so kind to them without wanting anything in return like Shiloh, but they didn't particularly mind it. 👀. Forward to the present, Phoenix is a big Shiloh simp, they fell for Shiloh's personality, their little quirks, their teasing, the late night drives, the late into the night chats, his smile. Before they knew it they had fallen head over heels for Shiloh and erm... they become a hot mess when Shiloh flirts with them. Phoenix. exe just stops working, they're such a shy goof all honestly. 😭😭
One last fact. Ever since becoming friends with Shiloh they've been teaching themselves some Cantonese and brushing up a bit on their conversational mandarin they had learned in high school. Hmmm I wonder why? 🤔😂😂
DONT APOLOGIZE I LOVED THESE OMG
please the beach scene got me in my feelings 😭😭 i wish they didn’t experience enough pain that they developed trust issues but i’m also a HUGE sucker for emotionally closed off characters being the first one to give in. when phoenix suddenly hugged shiloh i was grinning like an IDIOT. and shiloh carrying them to the car and driving them home because they fell asleep…… me and who
and phoenix leaving a bag of treats for mei on shiloh’s doorstep SHUT UP THAT WAS SO CUTE i can imagine them literally dashing tf outta there 😭😭😭 ugh idc that shiloh can fight. if he doesn’t treat phoenix right i will fight him with my bare hands
thank you for sharing these with me. phoenix sounds absolutely lovely 🥺 they’re so fleshed out too i already love them. gonna put them in my pocket and protect them from the order 😤

Send a 🙌 and I’ll introduce you to an NPC related to my Muse. — accepting!
Tumblr media
“It has been thousands of years since I last awoke, when we fled from the usurper who took our world. I dreamt the entire time, but the dreams and lives of the Tatarasunan people kept my dreams interesting and far from dull. even the memories of the long-deceased Orobashi found me. My dreams became boring when everyone left, so I followed the dreams of their descendants.”
“one inhabitant in particular, a human doll fashioned from pieces of my body, spoke of an electro gnosis that was meant to be his. what a cutie, i thought! my power, belonging to him?”
lips curling into a sly smile, Kurikara chuckles at the old memories. he was still amused by the little doll that went around causing problems over power that was not his to begin with.
Tumblr media
“I adored his pure, little self but I resented what became of him. Over time, he suffered, became more haughty, feigning happiness, but I knew what dwelt in his soul. I watched him dive into that tree, thinking he was doing something admirable for his friend while ridding himself of a painful existence. I watched him overcome and be reborn anew, like a Sovereign would. I commend him for putting himself on the right path.”
“the pieces of me were spread amongst other places of the world. I compelled those who possessed them to take me to any remnants of the Sovereigns. Neuvillette seems to be… enjoying himself. The others…” her expression sours.
“On the bright side, you are well. I am surprised I haven’t found you sooner.”
more important info (a theory) under the read more regarding kurikara and Scaramouche!
Tumblr media
I headcanon/theorize that the Great One under Kannazuka/Tatarasuna is the electro sovereign, Kurikara. A shrine maiden mentions this ‘great one’ at the end of a thunder sakura quest (the one where the Fatui awaken the dead hypostasis. I forgot the name of this quest already).
I also theorize that, besides possibly Makoto and Irminsul, Ei used pieces of the Sovereign (or Orobashi) to make Scaramouche. Raiden Shogun’s character story mentioned she used a huge amount of resources to make her dolls. The body of a deceased/resting Sovereign or Orobashi could be the ‘unimaginable amount of resources.’
Tumblr media
as stated in the above passage.
I also believe Scaramouche’s fate will bring him back to Tatarasuna, hopefully to help rebuild it, and that would open up interactions between him and the Great One that rests below Kannazuka.
Why do I call this sovereign Kurikara? well, Genshin is part of the Honkaiverse, whether people believe it or not. In Honkai Impact, Raiden Mei had a dragon named Kurikara. It was created from/uses the dead body of Benares, Kiana’s dragon.
Why is Ei/Inazuma without a dragon in Genshin? Many wrongfully attribute Orobashi as her dragon, but he belongs to Enkanomiya/Watatsumi. I believe Inazuma’s dragon is resting.
Also, Kurikara is the dragon sword of Fudo Myo-o and destroys delusions and attachments. Kurikara is also the draconic personification of energy developed through sword practice and iirc, Fudo Myo-o can turn into Kurikara.
Swords were a big part of Scaramouche’s lore. He spent time with the swordsmiths (Niwa Hisahide, Katsuragi and Mikoshi Nagamasa), witnessed the creation of the Daitara Nagamasa claymore, and performed a sword dance. He may even have knowledge of Isshin Art, depending on how much Niwa taught him.
Considering all of these points, it is fitting for him to be made from a dragon heavily associated with swords irl.
My friend Eoyorha also pointed out that Fudo Myo-o himself was wrathful, wears a lotus on his head and uses anger as a form of enlightenment, which fits Wanderer perfectly.
and that’s it! that’s my simple theory on the electro sovereign and her/his connections to Scaramouche!
I also gave him/her a Meiface + sometimes looking like Scara, in rp, until Kuri is given an official humanoid appearance.
thank you for sending this ask 😭 I have been wanting to introduce Kurikara here!

Minific idea: Touma hands Kento back his original sword
Fuck when this happens in canon it’s gonna destroy me utterly 😭
Kento watched with clenched fists as the Swords of Logos struggled against Master Logos, barely able to make a scratch at him. Only Touma and Rintaro in their most powerful forms were even to keep up with him now, and the others kept being distracted by Reika as Sabela, fighting her with only their sealed blades and their wits.
This is all your fault, he chided himself. If you hadn’t believed those visions... if you had been stronger and not fell to the darkness... if you hadn’t let your guard down and let him take Kurayami...
He was so lost in his despair that he hadn’t cared when the new Calibur move towards him in his vulnerable state. Kurayami glowed ominously as darkness oozed out of it, waiting to destroy all in its path.
Defenseless, the former swordsman could only close his eyes in resignation as he awaited the darkness to consume him- for good this time. Everyone... I’m so sorry....
“Kento, snap out of it!” He heard Rintaro cry out, keeping Master Logos at bay by blocking the blade with his own. “Touma, do it! I’ll keep him distracted!”
Kento’s eyes widened as Rintaro pushed Calibur away from both him and Touma, who approached him with a familiar blade in hand. His transformation fell away as he kneeled in front of Kento, presenting the Swordriver to him along with his three Wonder Ride Books.
Ikazuchi. Lamp do Alangina. Tri Cerberus. Needle Hedgehog.
“Kento, take them. Fight with us again, please.”
“Touma, no,” he whispered brokenly. “I don’t deserve to wield it, not after what I’ve done...”
“Says who?” Touma asked, pushing the items into his hands. “You’ve made a mistake, but you did it for the right reasons, didn’t you? And even then, you can always make up for what you did. By fighting now.”
“But I hurt you all so much...” he protested feebly, his tears falling onto his sword and Lamp do Alangina. “Daishinji-san and Ren and Ogami-san... they’re struggling because I sealed their Seiken, how can any of you trust me after that...?”
“Kento.” He looked up at his childhood friend, whose eyes were kind, gentle and full of an emotion he didn’t dare to name, didn’t dare to hope for. “Do you trust me?”
“Of course,” he replied without hesitation, without even thinking.
“Then trust me when I say that there’s no one who’s more worthy of wielding this sword than you. And I’m sure the others agree too.” He said, reaching out to wipe the tears away from his eyes with his the cuff of his sleeve.
The action was so heartbreakingly gentle, so Touma, that it took everything in him to not throw himself in his arms and sob out in relief.
“Kento-san, come fight with us again!”
Ren?
“Kid, we were never angry with you!”
“You’re an idiot for thinking we won’t understand...”
Ogami-san? Daishinji-san?
“Kento, just come back to us already, please!”
Mei...
“Just shut up already!” Reika growled as she turned into smoke, rushing towards her master and Rintaro in a flurry and attacking him as while he was dazed by her form. He was thrown back, his armor dissolving as he landed straight into Touma’s arms.
“Rintaro!” Touma exclaimed.
The other swordsman ignored Touma’s fussing and huffed with exertion as he sat up and looked Kento in the eyes. “For what it’s worth... I believe in you, too,” he said, with complete sincerity in his tone.
Rintaro....
Their words filled Kento with a feeling that he has almost forgotten. How long has it been since he felt the slightest glimmer of hope?
Kento huffed a laugh as he wiped the last of his tears away. “You guys...”
Thank you.
Touma and Rintaro gave him twin smiles as they all got up to their feet, turning toward their enemy in a united front. Kento placed his Swordriver around his waist, along with his Wonder Ride Books, and together with Touma and Rintaro drew out his Seiken from it activate their Drivers.
REKKA BATOU! NAGARE BATTOU! IKAZUCHI BATTOU!
“No, I won’t let you!” Reika snarled as she rushed towards them in her smoke form.
“HENSHIN!”
Flames, waves and lightning surged as they transformed into their Rider forms. Even Sabela’s smoke form couldn’t withstand it and she dropped it, withdrawing to Calibur’s side.
Saber, Blades and Espada stood where Touma, Rintaro and Kento had been, Seiken crossed together in a solemn, silent vow.
“Heh.... those three....” Ryo huffed as he clutched his side. Tetsuo sagged in relief beside him, and a wide, almost feral grin bloomed on Ren’s face.
Mei sighed, “Thank god... I’m so relieved...”
The promise made, the trio raised their swords and turned to the enemy with a battle cry, rushing at them with Touma at the lead and Rintaro and Kento barely a step behind them.
We will defeat them... 
Together!
*cue epic fight scene to the OP*
