[Flashback]

A droplet of water is shown before Mount Fuji is shown erupting. Water trickling down underground is shown. A tidal wave is shown before Hikari and Senku's bodies are shown drifting through the water, somehow staying together. They are dropped next to the miracle cave where Nitric acid drops down on them. They're shown waking up one after another with a gasp.

[Present]

Hikari kneels in the dirt beside Senku. She looks at him as he chuckles with his eyes closed.

"I'm so nostalgic, I can just about cry my eyes out." Senku breathes out.

"Is that...?" Kinro asks.

"That's where Senku, Hikari and I woke up, and where everything started." Taiju explains.

"The miracle cave." Hikari breathes out.

"The place you told us about, where we get the stuff from bat guano." Chrome explains.

"Our nitric acid." Senku says.

[Meanwhile]

Ava, Emi, Fumi, Flint, Ruri, Cinder, Yuzuriha, Kaseki, Suika, Mercury and Chrysi stayed behind at the temporary camp. Chrysi and Mercury look at each other before they sneak away on purpose.

[Meanwhile]

"Yo. I won't let your death be in vain." Tsukasa explains, digging, "Senku's objective is the miracle cave. We'll stop them in the names of Yo and the other fallen, and build a new, ideal world."

"Yes." Hyoga agrees. Tsukasa keeps digging and Kimi watches as Tsukasa gasps. Kimi's eyes widened in shock.

'No... Shit. Shit. Shit.' Kimi's thoughts say.

"Hmm?" Hyoga asks. Tsukasa grabs the microphone and he jerks it, the cell phone crashes to the ground. Kimi's eyes widen as she steps back. She should be running. She had to get back to the others. She had to let them know that Tsukasa knew.

[Three Minutes Earlier]

Ukyo and Chiyo had met up. They were standing on a tree listening for any sign that Tsukasa was coming. They jump down.

"Tsukasa and Hyoga are at the grave. It's pretty far away." Ukyo explains.

"Just the kind thing I was hoping to hear." Senku responds.

"It's almost game time, everyone. One blast of this tank's fake cannon and any person's morale will immediately sink ten billion percent. But don't forget that we're on a time limit here. The enemy will only panic and have the instinct to run away for the first 20 seconds or so. After that, the enemy will come to their senses and retaliate. And if we fight, people will die." Senku explains.

"Uh, so 20 seconds in, we're killing each other?" Ginro complains. Magma laughs.

"That's when the real fun begins and we murder 'em all." Magma states.

"If anyone dies, this fails." Hikari growls.

"Those are the terms of our alliance." Kinro explains, "The rules are the rules. Break them and who knows what'll happen." Kinro looks up at Ukyo who smirks.

"I won't be able to stop Ukyo. He'll do anything to protect me." Chiyo explains as she sat on the branch beside Ukyo.

"In other words, our victory conditions are tough. We're conquering the miracle cave with our science-powered blitzkrieg– without killing a single person." Senku states.

"All right then. Let's get this started!" Hikari adds.

"Okay, Steam Gorilla, move out!" Chrome exclaims.
