3rd person's perspective
"Taiju-Kun?" The girl called, her eyes opened slightly, looking at the male in front of her.
"I'm sorry." He said. "I made you wait for three thousand seven hundred years."
Senku looked away, looking very anxious.
(Y/n) was looking at the two people in front of her. 'Would he also do that?' She thought. 'Would he also do that? If we hadn't woken up at the same time?' She looked at Senku in a manner of how she really looks at him.
"I have no idea what's going on." She softly said. "I just woke up. but yeah, I think I know what's going on." She smiled sweetly. "You saved me, didn't you? Wow, thank you."
Taiju cried. tears were running down his eyes, looking at the girl in his arms. "It wasn't me." He admitted. "It was all thanks to Senku and (Y/n)." He let Yuzuriha down and wiped his tears.
"No, Onii-Chan, I didn't---"
"They spent a whole year working on the Revival Fluid."
"Sorry to barge in on your reunion chat, but make up your mind before Tsukasa comes back."
The three looked at him in confusion until the Siblings got a hold on what he's about to say.
"We only have two options, so choose one." He said in a serious tone. "Plan A." He held up his index finger and looked at them. "Taiju, Yuzuriha, and (Y/n), you three run away right now and live somewhere far away."
================================
On the other side of the forest, Tsukasa was running back towards them at full speed with the miracle fluid with him.
================================
"Plan B." He held up two of his fingers. "We fight together to stop Tsukasa's murder spree, using the weapons of civilization."
"The answer's obvious!" Taiju stood up and exclaimed. "We're gonna fight by your side!"
Yuzuriha stood up, not sure of what's happening. "Yeah! I have no idea what's going on, but I'll help too!"
"Senku, whether you like it or not, well, it's your plan, the three of us will stand by you."
"I'm not trying to be nice or something." He said, trying to calm the three down. "it just seems logical to give you a chance to flee." he sighed. "You'll survive on your own with (Y/n)'s guidance."
"If Tsukasa really is killing people, I'll---"
"Calling it killing people . . ." Speak of the devil. "Is really a matter of perspective." he said while holding unto the revival fluid and his lion-skin coat.
The three looked shocked while the one who just woke up was just confused and scared.
"I'm culling them." He said. "For the benefit of the new world." He glared at the four in front of him as he threw his coat on the ground.
He walked towards them but the siblings were already in his way, trying to protect the two. even though the younger Oki was weaker than the mad scientist behind them, she was ready to sacrifice everything jut for their safety.
Tsukasa has his fists clenched the moment he walked forward. But then, when he loosened it up, parts of a statue could be seen falling from his fists.
When they saw this, (Y/n) was paralyzed. She still stood her round and as she gulped up air. Taiju couldn't be more surprised.
"Senku, if things go bad, take care of Yuzuriha and (Y/n) for me." he said. "I'm going to stop Tsukasa!" He ran towards him and yelled a battle cry.
"Wait, Onii---" Before the girl could ever go, Yuzuriha held her in place. "Let me go, Yuzu-Nee!" She tried getting out of her grasp but she was too weak.
'You simpleton!' Senku exclaimed in his mind, getting a little agitated. 'This guy killed a lion with his bare hands. You're screwed ten billion percent!'
Senku took the initiative to let out the weapon he's been hiding. He took it and aimed at the Long-haired male, trying to shoot it in between them just for them to stop.
He did get it in between them, but Tsukasa changed its trajectory and towards Taiju, he kicked him. Luckily, he defended himself with his hands.
he looked like he was in pain.
The restrained girl screamed. She looked at the scene in front of her. As much as she hates it, she couldn't watch his brother trying to get himself killed.
For Yuzuriha, I don't know for Senku, this was hard to watch. While the younger sibling was feeling helpless, the older one was risking his life, protecting them. The Oki siblings have no one but each other. Their parents died when Taiju was nine and (Y/n) was eight.
Tsukasa's eyes were wide. "You're the first person who's managed to remain standing after receiving my kick." He said. "And even more interesting, it wasn't that you failed to attack me just now, but that you refused to." He stopped for a while. "Why?"
"I don't hit people!" He shouted. "you can hit me or kick me all you want," He opened his shirt, giving Tsukasa the permission to hit him all he wants. "But stop destroying the statues! Killing people is bad!" He continued.
Their faces went from worry and concern to shock and confusion. they were silent for a while until Tsukasa clarified something.
"Taiju, let me get this straight." He crossed his arms. "You'll let me keep hitting you and never fight back, therefore I don't destroy the statues . . ." He stopped for a moment. "Is that right?"
"That's right!" Taiju shouted, spreading his arms out.
The long-haired male was just as confused as the three on the background was. he covered his mouth trying to grasp what the older Oki was saying. "I don't understand." He took his hand off of his mouth and he looked really confused. "There's no deal being made here."
Senku laughed a little. Yuzuriha was a little relieved and so was (Y/n). The girl let go of the other and they all relaxed for a little while because of the two in the scene.
"if you insist on getting in my way---"
"I don't care how many times you attack me!" He exclaimed. "I won't stop trying to stop you!"
"That girl who was just revived . . . and the other one." He said in a tone. "What if I told you I'd kill them?"
Without a second thought, Taiju went and hid the two behind him.
Then, blood gushed out from his head then passed out. The two girls were shocked.
"Onii-Chan!" The younger Oki cried as he crouched down at him.
"Taiju-Kun!" the other one crouched sat down in a formal way.
"So that did hurt him." Senku waked towards the three, looking at the unconscious body of his childhood friend. "He's bleeding like mad. we'll have to let him sleep for a few days."
"Yes, Let's not fight among ourselves." he said. "You protect Yuzuriha and (Y/n), instead of worrying about statues of people you don't know." he took his coat back and went on another expedition in the forest. "And I'll do what I need to do." Then, he took off. "I won't let you get in my way."
After Tsukasa was out of sight, they spoke and looked at the arrow on the ground.
"The crossbow arrow was moving at over two hundred kilometers per hour." Senku said.
"No, two hundred twenty-one kilometers per hour." (Y/n) verified.
"And he snatched it right out of the air." Yuzuriha muttered.
"Wait, how can you even tell?" He asked the girl.
"The speed was like two hundred added up by twenty-one car speed."
"You look at speedometers too much." He sighed. He walked towards the boy feigning unconsciousness and woke him up. "Hey, get up! You're not gonna go down that easily in front of Tsukasa, are you, big oaf?"
And there he is, alive and kicking. "of course I'm not!" He responded quickly and got up.
Yuzuriha was startled. "You're okay, now?"
"I'm built to last." He said. "I've got plenty of energy left to spare!"
