A tale of the ages
Back at the village, kukuyo raised senku's hand up to the sky and announced to the whole village "Everyone! as of now! This man known as senku! Is pronounced the new chief! Of ishigami village! And has brought peace by the hand, that saved our lands from the wicked beast! Our warrior goddess, yuna!"
The villagers cheered, however senku and yuna were in shock after hearing the name of the village "ishigami village?...."
"That's right senku" ruri says, appearing behind the two, surprising them "I know of you and San, have for a long long time
Since I was a child....Your full names Are ishigami senku, And Suzuki yuna"

In the hut
The group stood in the hut, ready to get some answers
"Thanks..." Senku said, With hands placed on his hips, he said to Ruri, "Everything's starting to make sense to me, If every last living person in the planet was turned to stone, Then who could have even founded a village in the first place" he questioned "Also why do you, kohaku and some of the others clearly have foreign Blood in you, Now all thanks to you this mysteries have been solved" Senku concluded
Surprising kohaku and chrome, but then they're expressions changed, to puzzled " sorry but, No?" Kohaku says confused "I don't know how any mystery's have been solved" she stated
"Yeah" chrome says with a finger against his chin to pondering "And I don't get how senku happens to have the same name as the village" he commented, the. Turned to ruri "Plus ruri you somehow new about not only senku but yuna as well?" He asked
"I'll bet that me and yuna are actually Come up in your priestess mythology don't we?" Senku asked the blond, who tilted her head down and replied "You do.." Which surprised Kohaku and chrome "When you say mythology, Do you mean like momo toro And the gorilla?" Chrome asked
"Yeah no wonder you guys no about folk tales, And giant animals you'd wouldn't have seen before" yuna says putting everything together
"Yeah ruri taught us about lots of stuff" kohaku stated "The priestess passes down knowledge to the next generation through stories, Known as the hundred tales" she explained
Ruri had a little flash back to what her mother told her in the past long again
'Ruri this last story the hundred tale
Is very important and this one is true
It happened a long long time ago'
"The story my mother told me, Is one of great strength and an indomitable spirit
The hundredth tale" she began "I'll tell it now, It's title is, Ishigami senku, And Suzuki yuna"
The story
Senku's father along with five others, Lillian Weinberg, Shamil Volkov, Connie Lee, Yakov Nikitin and his wild, Darya Nikitina, they were the founders of the village, cause they were up in space when the petrification took place
They tried contacting someone, or at least get some sort of explanation behind this peculiar phenomenon, all they receive was nothing, also considering everyone on Earth had been trapped in stone, They could've waited, but it would be endless
But thanks to one of the lessons Byakuya learned from senku about a delay in the average time stamps on social media postings, find those and calculate backwards, and he learned the light originated, which started in South America
In the end, they landed on a remote island which was where the Ishigami Village first started, during they're time together, they even held a wedding for shamil and Connie
Story end
"I wish I could say that I follow that but it's such a crazy story that I'm completely lost" suika admitted
"Right.." chrome began to explain " So a few thousand years ago, All of humanity was turned into stone, You know those stone statues we see everywhere, Those are all people" he stated "But senku's dad and Five others survived, Because they were up in the sky when it happened, And All of us here in ishigami village are descendants of those six people"
"Hold on!" Kohaku exclaimed covering her mouth in shock, with reddened cheeks she tried to hide "That raises the question
Are we all related to senku?!" She exclaimed
"No, byakuya and senku were legally father and son but related by blood" yuna stated, senku chuckled "Besides were hundreds of generations apart, No ones related after that much time" he added
"Hey!" A voice yelled from outside and bellow, the group turned to see ga'nan was the one yelling, clearly drunk cause of his flush cheeks "What are you doing!? It's your big day!"
"Don't forget about the party we're still celebrating our new village chief!" One of the guys who tried to get senku to drink before said
"You two just want An excuse to drink" turquoise deadpanned
"Why don't we join the celebration" ruri suggested to the group "All of us" she smiled
The group joined the crowd in celebration of senku becoming the new village chief
"Hey drink some more sorcerer boy!" One of the drunks says to chrome who just finishes his drink "I'm a scientist thank you very-" he was cut off by the guy pouring more alcohol into his bowl cup, which started to overflow "Hey stop!!!!"
Magma and mantle drink up they're drinks, but where shocked when they saw Kaseki had drunken an entire pot, making the villagers around him cheer him on
"Any more chief?" Jasper, who was clearly drunk offered more in the pot to kokuyo, "I'm not the chief anymore remember?" The man stated smiling
"Yes! my apologies!" Jasper apologised "I'm still not over ruri getting a divorce" turquoise remarked, making kokuyo slump in sadness
"It hasn't been this lively in quite a while has it?" Kohaku says, smiling gently, enjoying the joyful feeling going around
"I don't know the last time everyone had so much fun!" Suika chimed
"Yeah!" Ginro exclaimed joining in "You said it I'm having a bla!-" he was cut off By kinro pulling him back "You and I are supposed to be guarding the bridge" he states then proceeded to drag him away
"Huh?! No fair!!!!!" Ginro cried throwing a tantrum
Meanwhile
"No I'm fine! You don't have to worry bout this outsider!" Gen exclaimed holding onto the wooden post for dear life, as another guy and ga'nana tried to get him inside
"I don't care if your from here or not Get in there and drink your heart out man!" The guy said
Ga'nan seemed to noticed something, or rather two people were missing "Huh? Hang on where'd the chief and goddess go?" He wondered
They were walking to the other side of the bridge with ruri, she was currently taking them Somewhere to show one last thing
"I brought you two out here to tell you The story ends with a message, One left by byakuya, I thought you two should be the only ones to hear it" she stated
"Yeah I kinda figured it be something along those lines" senku chuckled
Ruri averted her gaze, frowning as she told the next part of the story, which wasn't good, a sad ending
In the story
Connie for really sick and the group desperately needed medicine, Yakov and dilan traveled by boat to get to the mainland, they told the others to look after their kids if they did not return, but of course sadly, they didn't, mostly likely swallowed up by the sea
Not long after Connie died due to her sickness, the kids were also crying of liver the deaths of they're mom and dad, Lillian had seen shamil sitting at the cliffs edge, still depressed over loosing Connie
Then fate decided to take another, shamim had caught the same sickness Connie had, which was pneumonia
Soon shamil joined his wife, but the last thing he said to Byakuya, he told him, he had fun
Another long time passed, and by the time Byakuya finished the Hundred Stories, he experienced another tragedy....Lillian was next
that left him as the sole survivor along with the children of his fallen comrades
But one of the things Lillian said about rocks, hoping would take an interest and collect them
Story end
"And exactly as byakuya had hoped, Someone did take an interest in rocks and collected them because of his story" ruri smiled
"That's our chrome" senku said
"Uh Huh" ruri replied
" Byakuya was incredible to the very end" yuna smiled fondly
"Nice to know my old man wasn't totally useless after all" senku remarked, only to be playfully elbowed by yuna, Ruri led them to a clearing, up head, looked like a mound, but had grave markers going up towards the top "This is the village cemetery" she lead them up towards a particular grave marker at the very top "And this small grave mark, Was brought here on behalf of your father and the other founders" she state as she placed the flowers down in front of his grave
"They bit the dust thirty seven hundred years ago, Even if they were buried right here, You wouldn't find a single bone..." senku remarked
"In the last of the hundred tales, The hundredth story-" ruri began to recite Byakuya's message
"Is a message from me, Hey there senku And yuna no doubt your there with him, If your listing to this Story means you've broken out of the stone, Maybe thousands of years from now, I'm doing great, I mean I'm already dead by now, But you know, Just as promised, I got you some Souvenirs, The friends that the hundred tales will connect you with, the post apocalyptic world was pretty fun actually, But with your science, And the help of your new friends, I know you'll make the world as fun as it was before the collapse"
The two's eyes widen as they felt a warm presence beside them, almost as of Byakuya was stand right next to them
"Because you won't loose this fight, You'll rebuild from scratch of you have to and save all of humanity, Right? I know that you two can do it"
Yuna noticed senku clenching his hand into a fist and then broke the silence "Hey ruri, I think We'll have a look around Before we go back"
"Okay, I'll be at the village with the others" the blond girl nodded and left the two along with Byakuya's grave mark, Senku's eyes rolled towards his fathers grave "Right, so that was thousands of years ago Now Huh?" He mumbled "Back When I was still alone in the dark...Just counting hundreds of millions of seconds..." he forced out a chuckled "Really takes me back...Yeah...It really does" he says, as a tear slipped down his eyes to his chin
"Senku you dope..." she muttered
"Huh?" His eyes then widened as she wrapped her arms around him, and embraced him in a warm Hug "What the hell are you doing?"
"If you gonna cry then do it already, Don't you dare saying anything like scientist don't cry" she said " it's natural for human-beings to cry, besides the more you hold it in, the more painful it gets"
" what are you, a therapist" he joked, regardless he gave in an excepted the hug, still finishing what he had to say to his dad " I probably be royally screwed without your Souvenirs, Might have taken a few millennia, But I gladly accept them..."Before they left yuna spared a glance at Byakuya's grave 'Byakuya...I promise I'll protect not only senku, But everyone else as well....I promise' a single tear slipped as she turned away and continued her walk with senku back to the village
Back to the village
Where ga'nan and the other guy were still trying to get gen to drink alcohol with them "Thanks for the offer but I strictly a cola man..." he politely declined "Never heard of it" the other guy said
"I wouldn't be able to talk business if I got drunk, And now that the village gathered I've got a message to deliver" gen states
"Oh yeah?" Yuna appeared along with senku "Well let's hear it then mentalist, What have you got?" Senku asked "I can take a guess, Is it tsukasa's empire?"
Gen turned his head to reveal a malicious smile "He's coming, And he's bringing an army"He says, which shocks kohaku, chrome and suika while kaseki stated quite
"Really.....?" Yuna gripped her hands into a fist as senku chuckled "Sounds like we'll finally get the chance to show them what the kingdom of science Is made of...Are you guys ready get excited..."
