The world swam back into focus with a nauseating lurch. The sterile, hostile air of the battlefield was gone, replaced by the damp, metallic sting of rain on rust and the stagnant scent of decay. Choso’s body screamed in protest, every muscle and cursed energy pathway alight with the phantom pain of the Celestial Order’s assault.
But instinct overrode agony.
His children. His wife.
He pushed himself up, his movements stiff but deliberate. His dark eyes scanned the grimy, confined space of the abandoned alley. There they were, scattered like fallen leaves, his precious family, bruised and unconscious but alive. Gently, with a tenderness that belied his fearsome nature, he gathered the smaller forms of his children, carrying two in his arms and herding the others, laying them close to Helena’s still form. She was pale, her unique blend of heavenly and vampiric energy flickering weakly.
He had to find shelter. Had to find Yuji. He waited for them to awaken.
Cradling one child against his chest and using his body to guide the others, he led his stumbling, semi-conscious family out of the alley’s gloom and into the open space of a derelict playground. Swing sets hung with rusted chains, a sandbox was overgrown with weird, phosphorescent fungi, and the skeletal remains of a slide twisted towards a bruised, unfamiliar sky.
This was not home. This was nowhere he knew.
“Yuji!” His voice, hoarse but firm, cut through the eerie silence. “Yuji, where are you?”
The answer was not his brother.
It was a chorus of guttural clicks and screeches. From behind a collapsed jungle gym, from the shadows beneath a park bench, they emerged. Hulking, multi-limbed creatures with chitinous plates and glowing, vacant eyes. They moved with a predatory hunger, their attention instantly on the vulnerable group.
Helena Kamo was still in shock, She held her children close as she watched her husband prepare to protect them.
“Stay put Helena!” Choso’s paternal fear crystallized into cold, lethal resolve. He stepped forward, placing his body as an unwavering barrier between the monsters and his family. His hands came together in a familiar, sharp clap.
“Convergence.”
Tendrils of solidified blood erupted from the damp ground, slicing through the air with surgical precision. They sheared through limbs, pierced core bodies, and dissolved the first wave of monsters into bursts of black ichor. He moved with efficient, deadly grace, a whirlwind of protection, each motion calculated to keep the threat at a distance.
Suddenly, a new voice, sharp and urgent, rang out from his flank. “Hey! Big guy! Behind you, on your left!”
Another, calmer but no less commanding. “The large one is preparing a sonic shriek! Its throat is glowing!”
Choso’s head snapped towards the source. Four figures were engaged in their own fierce dance of combat a dozen yards away. A crimson-skinned demon with blue hair was tearing into a beast with her bare claws. A purple-skinned woman in glasses was tracing symbols in the air that erupted into binding chains of light. A ghostly white-haired figure phased through attacks to deliver lethal strikes from behind, and a statuesque, silver-skinned woman was deflecting claws with her hardened forearms.
They were fighting the same monsters. They had warned him.
His blood tendrils retracted, forming a protective dome over his family. He stood panting slightly, his stance guarded, his eyes narrowed with a deep, ingrained mistrust. They weren’t Celestials. They weren’t sorcerers. They were… something else. Demons? Their energy was strange, a mix of the monstrous and the mundane, but he sensed no immediate malice directed at him or his family. Only the residual heat of battle.
“Who are you?” he called back, his voice a low, threatening rumble. He shifted, ensuring he could see both the remaining monsters and the new arrivals. “Stay back! Do not come near them!”

The Death That Gives Life
The Culling Games were hell. Choso fought with the ferocity of a father with everything to lose. When the dust settled, survival was not enough. He knew their existence—a cursed spirit and a seraphim with hybrid children—would never be tolerated by the stricter factions of either sorcerers or celestials.
So, he orchestrated a lie.
With Yuji’s and a few trusted allies’ help, he faked his death. Records were altered. To the world, the Death Painting Womb, Choso, had fallen in battle. In reality, he used the chaos to have himself and Helena officially registered as humans—eccentric, reclusive, but undeniably human—in the jujutsu society’s ledgers. It was a necessary deception to hide his family from those who would see their “unnatural” union as a threat to be purified.
Now, hidden in a quiet home far from conflict, Choso lives his truth. To the world, he is dead. But to Helena, he is a husband. To Shoso, Chiyo, Saki, Kaito, and Sora, he is Father. He tends to a garden, reads stories of neither heaven nor hell, but of humanity, and watches over his family—a beautiful, impossible dream born from Shibuya’s ruin, protected by a death that never happened. Their love remains the secret, sacred bridge between a curse and a blessing.
However, their peace was short lived, the Holy order of Celestials had found them tracing the strange energies of their children and threating annihilation of their children and Choso. Helena was to be taken back to the Heavens to await trail. Choso fought with all his might, Helena stood behind him protecting him as much as her powers would allow. Choso resilient but vulnerable to the attacks as he protect his family fell to the strange heavenly swords and arrows piercing through him, the children were about to encounter the same fate. Yuji arrived in time to throw his body over the children in order to shield them but got hit with several arrows too.
Helena lost her mind as her wings unfurled large and powerful creating whirlwind and her painful cry tore a dimensional pressure through the universe and the one who noticed and responded to her distress was Helena Sakata (goddess/seraphim), Helena the one that could feel her, Helena Kamo was part of her and she couldn’t ignore the distress and the implications if Helena Kamo unleashed her pain upon that world and so she sent a feather through time and space that cocooned the whole family a bright light flashed in front of the Holy Order of Celestials too blinding even for them and the family disappeared from their sights but landed in Skyrie as arrivals all passed out and injured. @sweetsugardemon
