A Curse, Is all I Am

The Shibuya Massacre

A few things changed. This takes place around Chapter 124, when the Mahito fake got hit with Resonance. Megumi was knocked out from Mahoraga in-between Nobara's fight and the subway, instead of WhoKnowsWhere.

Nobara and Megumi refer to Mahito as 'it,' and Yuji refers to Mahito as 'he.' Hopes this help with any confusion!

-----------------------

Nobara felt her cursed energy blast somewhere underground as she slammed resonance into Mahito's head.

"Hmm, that's weird." Nobara said,

"I felt my cursed energy detonate somewhere else nearby." Nobara stated, as everything started to click. She got off of Mahito before he decided to turn his stomach into a blade or something equally stupid.

"How do I put this... Your cursed energy isn't very strong. And back then, you could've just grabbed me."

she backed up some, readjusting her grip on the two nails in her hand.

"You're just a double or something... So you can't use your cursed technique, am I right?" Nobara crowed, her confidence rising, as she didn't need to keep her distance anymore, since Fake couldn't use Soul Transfiguration.

"Correct," FalseMahito stated, grunting as it pulled the bloodied nail from it's forehead, letting it drop to the pavement.

"This is where the battle really begins." Kugisaki says, watching, waiting for the double's next move. 'Now that Resonance is working, the attacks should slow down a bit'

She waits for FalseMahito next move, as she was confident she react to any attack it attempted.

"Actually," it said, "I'm gonna run away!" it laughed, turning tail and sprinting as if it's life depended on it, which it would if Nobara had anything to say about that. 

"What?!" Kugisaki not expecting it to back off. She to give chase.

-----------------------

"Get back here and fight me you fake!" She screamed, launching 2 nails at FalseMahito.

"Nuh uhhh! Gotta work a little harder" It giggles, dancing out of the way of  the nails as it ran. It only serves to enrage Nobara. 'This curse isn't even really there to fight her, and then the coward runs away and mocks her while doing it? who does it thinks she is?!'

As she turns the turns the corner, stumbling after the curse. She gasps, seeing it move towards a figure slumped in front of a crumbling wall.

"Who's this?" The fake asks, running towards- Fushiguro! She hurriedly stuffs a hand into her belt, grasping at as many nails as she could and launched them at the False Mahito. 

The double was too fast for her to stop him in time with just the throw, but the other option was risky to both her and Megumi's life. But in this case, a risk was better than a guarantee.

'Fushiguro, I swear you'll owe me for this.'

"HAIRPIN!" 

Time seemed to slow, as Nobara could see each and every nail pointing in random directions become still, and then explode forward, relative to the point of the nail. Time corrected itself as many nails slammed into the ground, store windows, and some to the sky, never to be seen again.   

The Fake curse looked back, just for 3 nails to slam into it, smashing through it's stomach, shattering it's right elbow and the entire left side of it's face. Nobara felt elated for a second, before she felt one of her own nails tearing through her left shoulder, shearing her arm from her body, and another practically disintegrating a part of Megumi's ankle. He screams out in pain, suddenly awake.
