Gojo was blitzing through the air, with an application of Blue sending him flying across the city scape as he kept his eyes peeled for anything. He could sense many high energy signatures thanks to the six eyes.

Feeling the wind brush against his body, he felt free, but without many goals at the moment. The world was still unknown to him, and he was still only in one city, there could be thousands more out there that he has yet to discover.

Maybe left unburdened, he could explore the world without any distractions from the higher-ups, or anybody bothering him.

'Hmm, I don't have a passport or ID do I?' Now that he thought about it, he didn't possess anything that legitimized him ever being born in this world, 'eh, whatever, I could just get them illegally.' Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem for him later down the line. He was slightly enjoying this "vacation," even if the spot he was at right now was a metaphorical hell-hole.

Really, couldn't he have just passed on?

With those thoughts, his eyes focused back on the Liberi he was carrying, clutching onto his arm for dear life. Hilarious, really, he found it similar to when he first carried Itadori.

He could see those feathers on his ears, which he found out were actually connected to his head constantly fluttering in distress. Before Elio reached the state he was in right now, he was screaming his lungs out. Eventually, he was able to calm down.

"So, enjoying the experience?" Gojo couldn't help but off-handedly remark.

The dead-pan on the recipient of the question's face gave the answer away, "...Hell no." His eyes turned down to the ruined city, what was previously his city that he lived in. It left his mind in shambles, trying to think of ways on moving on.

Would the closest mobile city, Lungmen, let him in? He remembered he left his identifications and the like back at home due to the Reunion panic. It seemed like living a normal life after this would be nearly impossible. His eyes turned away and closed from the dizzying sights, as motion sickness started to hit full force.

"Where are we going anyways..?" Elio couldn't help but ask, they were moving away from the exit point that he had planned to go to.

"Oh? To the Reunion guys, obviously."

"Excuse me?" His eyes immediately shot open as his brain began processing. "W-what are you thinking!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop flailing around," Gojo leaned away from Elio as he started to rampage around in his grasp, "besides, I got something I wanna do, I'll leave you in a safe spot while I take care of things, kay'?"

Hearing him speak, Elio found out that he was completely unmatched to this man's strength and prematurely gave up. It'd be a disaster if he actually broke out of his grasp anyways.

Slumping under Gojo's arms, "it's so over," was the only thing he could whimper out.

But as Gojo got closer and closer to the signature he was sensing, his excitement only kept building up. He had already made some assumptions of the strength level of the people of this world, and the first few people he'd meet next far surpassed the Reunion grunts he had taken out.

From what his six eyes could comprehend, there was a battalion of soldiers and six people with notable energy levels, all varying between each other. What was most intriguing however, was the lone person standing between all of them.

His speed picked up as his legs touched the next building, applying more Cursed Energy Reinforcement, his legs shot forward with far more strength than before, causing the little bird in his arm to let out a squeal.
