Momo stood over Okarun, who had been knocked unconscious by the Flatwoods alien.  She closed her eyes, waiting for its fist to slam down on her... but it never came.  The giant alien turned towards the entracne to the property as the walls around it shattered... and a boy strode through the gate with a pocky stick in his mouth.

???: I was on my way over and saw the walls.  You must be the old lady's granddaughter, right?

The massive alien roared and charged towards the boy, but he just held up his hand.

???: Cleave.

The alien suddenly froze, and its head fell off, having been sliced cleanly at the neck.  It fell to the ground and began disintegrating as Momo stared at the boy in shock.

YN: Names YN LN.  Pleasure to meet ya.

Momo: How did you...

YN: Let's just say I'm cursed, like that kid there.  But mine likes me.

A mouth suddenly formed on his cheek.

???: I didn't choose to be here, you know.  Don't act like we're friends.

YN: But... we are friends, right?

The mouth sighed and disappeared.

YN: That's Sukuna.

Momo: I've never heard of any spirit with that name...

YN: That's cause he was sealed over a thousand years ago, and the records of him were destroyed so he wouldn't be found.  I accidentally stumbled upon one of the objects he was sealed in and ate it.

Momo continued staring at the boy in disbelief.

Momo: You ATE a spiritual artifact?

YN: It wasn't my first choice at the time, but it was that or be eaten by a monster.  I chose to eat the weird finger.

Momo: It was a FINGER?

YN sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

YN: We're not getting anywhere with this.  Also, you should back away.

Momo: Huh?

The boy she was standing over had gotten up, but he didn't look the same.  His skin had turned red and wrinkled, his eyes were glowing yellow, and his limbs were stretched to unnatural lengths.

YN: Turbo Granny?  I've been hunting her for months now.  Am I allowed to kill him?

Momo: NO, you can't kill Okarun!

YN: Fine, fine.

YN suddenly disappeared, reappearing with his hand on Okarun's face, and slammed him into the ground so hard it felt like an earth quake.  Momo just watched in shock.  Another voice rang out.

Seiko: You beat me here.

YN: I figured I'd come early, see if I could get past the barrier on my own.  But it seems these two removed it.

Momo's grandmother, Seiko Ayase, walked up to them.

YN: It's Turbo Granny.  I don't think even you could remove it without killing him.

The woman sighed.

Seiko: Fine.  Leave him in the shed over there.
