Tremor

The sudden appearance of Chrome alerted the whole clan. The villagers rejoiced, but Kaseki was the most happy knowing finally he had no need to wreck their beautiful car for a suicide saving mission.

But Chrome was quick to shut him down there telling him they needed it to save Y/n.

Everything felt so light but Senku still felt empty. He was even irked.

"Why didn't you bring Y/n?" Senku approached the boy who still reeked of plum. Sour. Chrome frowned and sighed.

"I wanted to, seriously, especially after she suddenly came undone and told me her story but she suddenly got pulled out of the cell and they took her somewhere else" Chrome ruffled his hair.

"She was taken away right before the battery was given to me" his palms covered his face, pointers and middle fingers apart as his eyes stared onto the ground in a serious manner.

"It felt like it was planned, for me to run away but she stays behind- oh! And also, Senku" the boy turned towards his trusted science mentor "does Y/n have a brother?" It was so serious, his expression, it felt eerie.

"Brother? She told me about this one before, that she had a brother before- oh, yeah I just know she has a brother" Kohaku was quick to cut herself off, she didn't want to accidentally slip and reveal to everyone around them that Y/n was taken away from her family.

"Ukyo"

Gen was confused.

"Somehow"

Light bulb. Gen, Kohaku and Senku.

"Now that you mention it!" Gen perked up. Ukyo and the girl looked alike that it was unnerving to think of, putting an image of the two side by side shows how they are the spitting image of each other.

"Someone to turn over..." Senku mumbled underneath his breath. His head suddenly turned to Kohaku then to Chrome.

"Kohaku, Chrome, we need to talk, right now" Senku was speaking in an urgent tone.

"Senku" however Gen was quick to intrude. He looked at the younger boy who looked at him with irritation and confusion. Gen shook his head, he already knew what Senku was after and he knew it was to know the story Y/n have told the two primitives.

"Now is not the time, it's time for battle now" Gen reminded. Indeed they shouldn't be wasting time. It's only a matter of time before Tsukasa finds out about the phone.

"Right" Senku sighed. It took him a few moments to collect himself and smirk. The battle was there, was he going to see her? He hoped so.

"If we're trying to overcome them without any casualties then this blitz attack we're opening with... Will be everything in deciding this battle!" Kohaku clenched her fist, eyed Senku who had managed to collect himself so quickly.

"Right" he smugly grinned "we'll need him, with a cheat level of power... The man with the number one toughness!" As if fate was good with giving coincidences to the science boy, a silhouette presents itself behind him.

Shock writes itself on every single face in the troop and Kohaku smiles so softly, the feeling of familiarity doused itself upon her and she mutters "how strange... Even though it's our first time meeting, I already know your name"

"Taiju"

The man walking beside Yuzuriha held a smile of pride, but as soon as he zoomed in to his best friend he was already evaded. Yuzuriha could only chuckle at his attempt.

Senku truly wasn't up for feeling like his cervical spine cracking again.

All that happened while Tsukasa stood before the cross that was supposed to symbolize Senku's death whilst he talked with Hyoga.
