As the dark spirit awakens within Jaune, the once amiable and earnest Huntsman-in-training finds himself at the center of a malevolent power struggle. The clash between Jaune's noble heart and Sukuna's insatiable hunger for chaos threatens to shatte...
As the four members of Team RNJR continue out of Oniyuri, Ren suddenly senses something. He puts out his hand to stop the other three, eyes closing as he focuses. Somewhere close by can be seen running. Ren draws his weapon. Ruby and Nora immediately follow suit. A strange man soon leaps high over the wall to engage them in combat.
He immediately takes out his weapons in a seamless motion and, laughing eagerly, moves to attack Ruby. Ren intervenes, clashing with the man's claw blades. Ren attempts to both kick and shoot him, but he dodges. The two have a couple more attack and parries until he kicks Ren several feet away.
The stranger suddenly turns to go after Ruby again, Ruby grabbed her scythe and was about to charge until Jaune sped pass her, overmatching her speed as his fist collided with the man who was sent right through a close by structure as it then began to shatter and collapsed where the man was sent by Jaune physical strength which will always surprise the group.
There was a moment of silence as Nora turn to Ruby.
Nora: You think... its over?
Ruby: I... I think?
Jaune: No, It isn't.
They turn to Jaune before the rubble of the collapsed structure began to rumble and then the man was seen casually walking up from the mess, as if he was perfectly fine.
Jaune: He used his tail to block my punch at the last moment before the impact hit...
The man leans forward, drops from the rubble and lands on his feet in front of them.
Stranger: Who I am matters not to you.
Points to Ren.
Stranger: Or you.
He finally point to Nora but he looks... No stare at Ruby and Jaune.
Stranger: Well... Didn't expect to see you, Jauney~
Jaune: ...
Stranger: You might be wondering why I am here, why I know the names of you and... Little Red here, the thorny Rose.
Ruby: You... know me and Jaune?
Stranger: You, you haven't the slightest clue, do you? Oh, but I can bet your angry fellow knows~!
the trio turned to Jaune who seem to only stared at the man.
Jaune: Are you with Stitches.
No question, rather it sounded like a command.
The man begins acting dramatically in response to his words.
Stranger: Oh, maybe or maybe I dont, hard to say when everything need stitching up and everything can be a brand new~!
This was a answer to Jaune, he understood what the man words directed to as lift his fist to his chest.
Jaune: Then I got no other questions... You better entertain me as I rip that tail from your back and use it to strangle you.
