Senku grabbed [Name]'s hand with his own, covering them. He then passed her the revival fluid, brushing his fingertips across her wrist.

"You should do it" He gave her a slight nod, his bright red eyes gleaming from the fireplace. She took the beaker and slowly ushered Yuzuriha to put the clothes she had made for Mirai.

Once done, everyone's hands clasped in prayer, hoping she would return.

[Name] slowly tilted the beaker, dripping all of the contents on the still female. Instantly, sizzles and crackles were heard as the stone fell apart from her body.

"Brother?" Were her first words as she was soon engulfed by Tsukasa, tears already falling from his eyes. Held breaths were released, calming everyone down.

[Name] looked up at Senku, her eyes brimming. His gaze softened as he ruffled her hair, relieved that their theory was correct.

"Missing dynamites? That's weird" Chrome announced to the group. Morning had come around and now they were deciding what to do next.

"It is, I would've really heard if someone took it-" Ukyo's words were interrupted when a loud explosion was heard from Tsukasa's base. This caused everyone to instinctively reach to muffle their ears.

[Name]'s thrown figure slowly raised up, understanding what was unfolding. Her hands shook in fear when she realised who the culprit was.

Without informing anyone, she rushed to find Mirai. Hoping, he hadn't gotten to her first.

Racing towards the expanding figures of the three in the distance.

Tsukasa was just about to leave Mirai's side when he heard the rapid footsteps of someone approaching.

"TSUKASA, MOVE AWAY FROM THERE" she swiped her arms to the side, signalling him to run away from her brother.

The panic that ensued in her eyes made Tsukasa understand. Hyoga turned his head slowly, seemingly mocking his sister's useless attempt.

It all happened too fast.

Tsukasa's chest was impaled by the spear on the left side. His arms stood wide open, protecting the unaware Mirai.

"I was waiting for the perfect moment, when you found the person you wanted to protect. I could've used my sister against you, but again" Hyoga paused, lowering his mask with his left hand while the other held onto the spear.

"I'm not a bad brother" he shook the spear out of Tsukasa's body and threw him against the stream.

A flash of white went past Hyoga, [Name] instantly grabbing the stranded male's hand.

"I've had enough of you, Hyoga" she struggled to pick Tsukasa up, her breaths getting ragged.

"[Name]" Tsukasa softly whispered when he saw his saviour. His entire face was relieved, at least he gets to see her face one last time before he dies. That's a good thing right?

"[NAME]" Senku screamed with visible panic in his voice.

Instead of using his spear, Hyoga used his leg to kick both of them down the stream. He then leaped after them, jumping into the water.
