Seriously? Sukuna called this fun? More like a slaughter for Jogo and Haku was sure a few years had been shaved off her life from the pure adrenaline rushing through her. Sukuna lifted her to sit on one of his arms, hand gripping her thigh. Haku tightly gripped his jacket, hanging on for dear life. The ground beneath them cracked and exploded from the force of Jogo launching his first attack. Sukuna easily swatted him away and sent him flying out of the building and into the sky of the city.

Jogo was given no time to retaliate as Sukuna rushed at him. The curse tried to ready an attack, outstretching his arms and building up his flames only for his arms to be sliced to pieces. Sukuna then grabbed the metal air conditioner box off the top of a building and launched it at Jogo. It slammed into the nearby building, but Jogo just managed to use his insects to pull himself out of the way. He rapidly fired flame attacks at them. Sukuna dodged around, not even threatened by the attack. The heat was intense, erupting clothing that was on display in a department store into flames. Haku tightened her grip on him and gritted her teeth.

Sukuna slipped into one of the buildings, languidly walking down the hall. "What's the matter? Not having fun?" He teased Haku.

"Fun?" Haku said exasperatedly. "Fun is the last thing on my mind! Any normal person would have burst into flames already!" She felt horrible for anyone nearby who had not been evacuated from the area. At least they would have combusted so thoroughly death would have been instant.

Sukuna cackled at her, continuing to laugh as he jumped out the window to dodge a mass of flames and lava that came flooding the hallway. Jogo came at them again, fists hot with magma. He aimed his punches at Haku, hoping to win by hitting her, but Sukuna did not allow it, grabbing one of his arms then slicing through it before grabbing him by the other arm. Jogo fired molten lava from the plume on his head, but Sukuna was gone in an instant, appearing behind Jogo and flinging him through the city with a force that caused windows of nearby buildings to shatter as he passed. "Not a bad choice." Sukuna commented. "Aiming for her was a good move, but I only said she'd be playing with us, not that I'd just sit back and make it easy for ya'."

Jogo was livid. He gathered his flames and lava to the max, the heat causing manhole covers to burst upward and canned drinks in vending machines to explode. The lava plumed into the air and ran like a river through the city streets trying to engulf her and Sukuna. Using the sheer power of his slices kept the lava at bay like a forcefield around them. Jogo used a piece of debris like a surfboard for the lava river and sent insects flying at them. As they came close they exploded, but nothing even neared her and Sukuna who flipped and dodged around the city. Jogo summoned two arms made of lava to grasp two buildings on either side of Sukuna and crashed them into one another trying to crush them. Haku buried her face into Sukuna's chest and closed her eyes tightly. She felt his chest vibrate with amused laughter before he sliced the building and sent the slash so far it sliced Jogo as well.

Sukuna emerged with him and Haku unscathed. He then moved with speed so fast it seemed like teleportation and appeared behind Jogo flinging him into a building, crashing them through walls and out the other side. Jogo floated above a building, laying back in near defeat. Sukuna smirked then flew down at the curse, slamming his hand into his face and pushing him down. He kept Jogos head grasped in his hand and crashed from the roof to the ground floor of a building before crushing Jogo into the ground.

Jogo forced himself to sit up, holding his destroyed jaw in his hand, blood gushing out and pooling on the ground. Sukuna scoffed. "Ah, the moonlight is shining all the way through, letting me really see how pathetic you are." He motioned at Haku who was still in his one arm. "Look, not even a speck of dust on the Princess here, and I'm only using the one arm." Sukuna was degrading Jogo, and the curse grew even more infuriated. He shot out lava, exploding the building they were in. Sukuna hopped back out of the way back into the streets. Above them, a massive flaming meteor began to take form, so powerful it had its own pull which gathered into the flames debris from the buildings and even vehicles on the streets.
