Let there be the light of science

Alright! Managed to finish it, took some time, but here it is!

What do you think?

While walking

The mysterious figure heard the sound of the distant flute suika was playing, he stopped and chucked, hand pressed against a tree as he saw the village, and what was going on outside of it, and a very familiar person

Yuna was preparing the next batch of ramen while the villagers watched in awe, senku helped by washing the foxtail millet ramen 'The savoury bowl of gourmet science' he placed the bowls out '...is gonna buy me enough manpower to make steel'

"Foxtail millet from the goddess coming up" senku announced

gan'en was the first to taste "I've never had anything so Chewy and amazingly yummy!" He exclaimed

"We all know gan'en has some experience eating, so..."kujaku chuckled

The little girl with black hair then tasted "Man that's tasty! A steaming stew of slippery deliciousness!" The little girl exclaimed

"Are you the Man who helped out goddess make this incredible food for us? The one called senku?" Ruby asked "So, what kinda girls does she like?"

"The kind that can pump a tone of oxygen into her furnace" senku stated bluntly

"What kind of answer is that?!" Kohaku exclaimed "Really! I mean, did the concept of polite small talk not exists during your time?"

She looked towards the goddess and saw her smiling sheepishly at the attention she was getting from the other males she was serving, and immediately sprinted into over protective mode, scaring the hell out of them, Chrome approached kinro and ginro, who were looking at the crowd with serious looks arms crossed "Hey kinro, ginro Don't pretend like you dont wanna try it This ramen stuff is insanely good!"

Ginro tried to take it with a blissful expression, but kinro held him back "We will not eat food made with your sorcery!" He exclaimed "Besides a guard accepting a gift would clearly be in violation" he said crossing his arms "You know that! Rules are rules!"

"Really?" Chrome raised an eyebrow, smirking "Then what's have you got in your hand? I guess there's a special exception for a golden spear? Over food the goddess you worship made?"

"Yeah! What gives kinro?!" Ginro exclaimed

His ear twitches slightly, turning his head with a blush while gritting his teeth " f-fine, o-only because the goddess worked hard to make it" he took it and chrome was cheering inside with a victory smirk

"Here you go!" Suika handed another bowl to one of the villagers "I've totally lost track of who I've served already!" She exclaimed, pacing around "They're really eating it up Everyone's coming to get some" kohaku smiled "Heh. They can have all they want" senku chuckled, then smirked evilly "But they'll find out very soon that the more ramen they eat, the harder I'm going to work em"

"You really do make the creepiest faces sometimes" kohaku sweat dropped

"Ah. This ramen is making me wickedly thirsty, A cola would be great" yuna stiffened, her eyes widened and senku staring at her confused before processing the words he heard "Cola?...."

The wolf's noticing yuna's state, growled at the owner of the voice, kohaku looked at them before following their gazes towards someone hitting behind and against a rock, a slim young man, close to Senku in height. His hair is split between the right half, which is white with the hair reaching his chin, although the left half is short and black

He wears an overcoat over a yukata and lacks proper footwear "Senku, You two happen to know that guy?" She asked

"No, I don't" senku said, kohaku looked and noticed yuna discomfort' not him again...' she though

"Kinro, ginro, I need you to stop eating" kohaku called, who stopped eating and looked over along with chrome "How come? Is there a-" kinro suddenly gasped along with ginro

"I'll get right to the point...." she said straightens herself, lifting her head up, slowly arming herself "....There's trouble" Within seconds, the three surrounded the mysterious person, armed and ready, blades closed to his neck "Better answer truthfully, or I'll slit your throat before you know what hit you" kohaku glared "Are you one of the long haired mans underlings?" She demanded

The mysterious guy chucked, lips curling into a smirk " well, while I admittedly don't mind the attention of a cute little thing like you...through I'd rather not be torn apart by wolf's...I believe you must've mistaken me for somebody else" He sighs "I have not met any long haired man, I've been wandering all on my lonesome, Since braking out of the stone" he drawled out lazily

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

  "I though you looked strangely familiar somehow" senku's walked over to yuna, who had her arms crossed staring at the guy with a glare "Asagiri gen" she spat

"So you do know him!" Kohaku turned to them inquisitively "No. Never met him in my life, He's a trashy magician who wrote psychology books" senku explained

"Long time no see gen...still the same mentalistic snake I can see" yuna spat glaring, Senku looked surprised at her, like how she seemed to know him, and that she mentioned they met before " that's a hurtful and cruel name" he pouted, his lips then carved into a perverted smirk" hey Suzuki, It's been a while, you're still as radiant as ever" while she glared " not long enough..." the girl glared, kohaku looked confused " how's your father? I haven't seen him in a while" she gripped her hand in anger " why did he call her that, who's Suzuki?" Chrome asked Leaning over " that is yuna's full name" senku explained

"Look, I apologise for taking the ramen without asking, So please, will you be kind and lower your weapons?" He asked, then Gazes down at his bowl "My arms and legs are trembling with fear, And I'm worried I may spill this heavenly bowl" he said mockingly

Ginro immediately dropped his spear "I got it! I don't mind holding it's for you!" He offered

'He's full of crap.' Kohaku though

"I was all by myself and searching for something to eat, then surprise surprise, I see a beautiful redhead girl serving food and Then my nose was filled with nostalgia The scent of ramen" he said as he boldly leans next to her, she just glared at him as he stroked a lock of her hair " I've been Having an extremely difficult time adapting, but I never thought I'd ever see you again, yuna, you presence just made my day"

Over protective mode activated!!!!!

The blond girl shoved him back slightly, aiming her daggers at him super angry "stay away from the goddess!" She yelled

The wolf's barring their fangs at him growling

'I've seen scary guys before, And he's not one, And every word out of his mouth is like a feathery fluff' she thought

"Yeah sure I'll take your word for it Man, Still there's no such thing as a free lunch" senku said hands on his hips "You and everyone else who ate the ramen...Have got some work to do" he smirked Evilly

Time skip

Gen with the villagers pumping the air into the furnace screamed, pumping in air with the new bamboo construction "We've updated the blowing capability! Iron furnace level 2!" Chrome announced, one of the villagers fainted and kohaku took over "We're gonna have to take turns, But I think it'll work!" Kohaku said as she took over for Ruby as she fainted exhausted, Gen used a lot of his strength, even if his arms were skinny, pumping the air with the bamboo, senku walked next to him and stopped "Questions for ya gen.how do you know yuna, and How are Taiju and yuzuriha doing these days?" Senku asked, smirking

"Uhh..." the expression on his face was laughable

"Oh, so that's your game, yeah?" Gen asks panting "Work me into a state of exhaustion....And fool me into fessing up?"He says "You've got guts....Trying to pull a trick like that on a renowned mentalist..." he stops panting, There was a short pause, before he spoke "I know her cause I was once on her fathers tv show, for research for one of my books, not my idea of course, And There's no need for you to worry, Taiju's strength is seemingly without end...But you know that, right?....Senku" he smirked "He's definitely with that long haired man!" Kohaku exclaimed rushing over "should I kill him?" She asked

"Wait, you fool" senku said, the turned back to gen

"Okay gen, You ten billion percent knew I was trying to make you talk" he stated" So why'd you suddenly let it slip that your Working with tsukasa?" He asked

Gen turns to him, eyes closed "Well because once I saw all of this, The tides turned, as they say" he says, looking up at the black smoke coming out of the furnace, The metal inside started to bubble as liquid metal, during the night, the smoke still rose from the furnace, into the beautiful star light sky

Both senku and yuna state up at him, gen was looking over at them as they sat on chromes shed roof top

Next day

It was cloudy, and the group were now surrounding the furnace, senku wearing glows, holding two sticks  attached to the pot, the metal inside was now melted, He then poured it into a wooden carved mold, gen stared eyes wide in awe

Flashback

When senku and gen had a talk "I have a simple task, That is to confirm your death beyond any doubt, and that yuna is whimpering in despair and plotting revenge...'Tsukasa, senku is still alive, and he and yuna are working together' One little phase and your fate would be sealed....That was my initial plan" he says before finishing with "But if your able to finish forging weapons made of iron, There's no telling who'd come out on top"

Flashback end

Gen gasped at what he saw before him, chrome holds up the iron rode "Whoa!"

"Wow!" Suika exclaimed while the girls laugh Victorious and the wolfs howl "All I found was a tiny primitive village" gen says, which senku turns to him "Seems like senku is no more, an san is no where to be found, One fraudulent report would spare your life, Does that sound good to you?" Gen asked, Senku chuckled "Actually it's music to my ears, And I really appreciate you doing that"

"Don't go thinking I've got some moral compass" Gen says "I'm unbelievably shallow" he stated "Give me a life surround by hot girls and I'm as happy as clam, I couldn't care less if you and that primate tsukasa live or die" he said, his lips then turn into a smirk "I'll be on the winning side, No matter what I have to do, What benefits me the most?" He asks " Is it aligning with your fledgling kingdom of science, Or perhaps tsukasa's empire of strength, That is truly the extent of my concern"

He then Goes and lists everything good and bad from both sides "On one hand There's the scientific creations and ramen and all that, But hellish back breaking work Is just not my style" he said reviewing everything about the kingdom of science "On the other hand, Tsukasa's settlement lacks science, And the food is rather plain, But my work is easy, And if I revive a few hot celebs, I could have the harem of my dreams" he says in a cheerful tone

"a harem? What's that?" Suika asked innocently walking over, gen flicked sweatdropping when he saw the look yuna was voicing him, with a Slice throat symbol' the face she gave said ' say it and you die...'

"I'm sorry...All I can say is that it's not for children" he said smiling sheepishly

"Well whatever it is, Ramen is probably way better!" She stated confidently, as gen started scratching the side of his cheek "Yeah, Ramens nice, But on a balmy day like this, I think I'd rather side with tsukasa and what he can provide" gen says "Asagiri gen, was it?" Kohaku asked walking over, she then pulls out her duel daggers "I think the only two options for a snake in the grass like you are either locked up or put in the ground!" She smirked while he holds his hands up in surrender "Scary!" He exclaimed

"No, If he doesn't go back and give his report tsukasa will come looking for him And we'll all be screwed" senku's states removing the sheet from around him "So relax would you? I've got a plan for this iron, And once you feast your eyes on what we're gonna make with it, There's a ten billion percent chance you'll choose to join our kingdom of science" senku says smirking

"Oh? What's that you think you can sway me with a sword?" Gen asked

"How about a generator?" Senku says, Gen looked at him as if he was crazy, shaking like a leaf "a generator?! Are you freakin kidding me?!" He exclaimed "No way you could pull that off!" While senku and chrome went in the shed "Nice you have native copper"

"Hey! that stuffs way to pretty to destroy " chrome stated

"We'll melt it to make a wire" senku says ignoring him

"Damn it, your not even listening!" Chrome complained as senku began thinking aloud"Now then, if only we could get some lightning" he said, and right on queue, there was the sound of thunder and lightning striking "It's lightning! The rage of the heaven's!" Jasper yells, everyone in The village runs for shelter

"If it hits you your dead!"

"Make sure the women and children are safe!"

"Move quickly!"

"Looks like we're getting our lightning" suika says while senku's and yuna while shaking in horror in the background "Ha! It is the rainy season after all" kohaku smiled "Ah! Can you believe how lucky we are?!" Chrome cheered

"This isn't luck! It's the worse case scenario!" Senku exclaimed "We are in no way to utilize this right now!"

"The generator will run on lightning?" Gen asked grinning

"That's ridiculous" senku says while in thought

"Yes. Of course" gen says

" wait! What about magnets?!" Yuna inquired "Wait! That would work!" Senku says "Magnets, I can make a generator if I had magnet" he stated to the others"But we have the ones we used to collect the sand" Suika says walking over and showing the one she still had "The natural ones are way to weak for what we need" senku stated "We'll catch lightning with an iron rod, And make a crazy strong manger using the power of science! I was gonna put up a bunch of rods, as many as possible, But we can't pass up this opportunity, We'll just have to run with what we've got!" He looks up at the sky "Heh. Pardon the pun, but we've gotta move as fast as lightning"

Chrome makes a hole in the furnace after melting the chopper "Melt the copper!There's lacquer coating kohaku's spear!
We could really use some of that!" He says

Suika rolls back over after getting some from the village "I have a whole jar of it right here!"

"lacquer is a ridiculously effective insulator, Use it to coat the iron rod!" Senku's says

"I'm confused" gen says while senku runs the stuff in the iron rod

He then gets one of the wooden slabs from the bridge "Uh. I dont think you should be doing that!" Ginro exclaimed, The little girl noticed and ran inside "I've carved a channel in it!" Kohaku announced, finishing marking a thin line on the wood "Pour the melted copper into the channel! And after it solidifies wrap it up real tight around the iron bar" senku says while trying the copper wire around it

Meanwhile

"Hey everybody! Listen up! The foreigner and his friends have started destroying the bridge!" She yells and bumps into someoneWhich turns out to be magma "Hehe So he finally shoo for us his true everlasting colours huh?" He smirked "That's probably why the gods are so angry with us, They don't like that sorcery, And that goddess isn't even a goddess she's a fake" his other blond buddy next to him says

"Ah yeah" magma's underling mantle says

"Alright, time for them to die" the buff man smirks

Kohaku sees figures approaching them from the other side of the bridge and gasps "This is bad.It's magma!" Chrome gasps "He's not the type of guy who talks things over" kohaku states "We're gonna have to fight!"

"If we go to war with the village right now It's game over!" Senku exclaimed "I need to think fast!" Gen sighs "Now this won't do, I simply can't get killed cause of you lot" shown everyone looked at him "Fetch me some flowers suika"

"Huh?" She stared at him confused "Instead of war....Flowers"

Yuna stared at him in wonder ' gen...what are you up to...'

On the bridge

Before they could step even further, gen appeared before them"Hm?" Magma says as gen walks forward "Ha!" He and a funny expression with flowers in his hands "What the hell is this guy holdin flowers for?!Dosesnt he know we're here lookin for a fight?" Magma's buddy asked "Yeah!" Mantle says

"We're you the one that made the gods so angry?" Magma asked "Heh, Stepping up to me like this takes more balls than brains" he stated

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you're mistaken, We're trying assist the goddess while using our sorcery to stop this onslaught of terror from above" gen says

"Quick talkin outta your *** she's fake! I don't wanna hear-" he Frowns at his words and interrupts "Allow me to show you" He flicks his palms and the flowers disappear form their sight "They disappeared! Did you see that?" Magma exclaimed "Wait a second, So they really can't see the flowers?" Kohaku asked while looking at the trembling men in front of the mentalist, The flowers were actually behind his palms "It's a trick that I believe is called the back palm, Magicians do it all the time with cards and stuff" senku explains "not to shabby for a complete fraud" he smirks, More lightning begins to strike down, which Mantle runs in screaming, while the other blond runs In, he takes on look at gen "Heh..." he huffed before joining them, Gen sighs, then chuckled

"It may sound nuts, but it's doable There was a guy at nasa called wasilewski" senku says "Who ran successfully experiments using lightning to make powerful magnets" he smirks as they climb the Mountain, panting, he remembered where chrome got the magnet

"I just so happened to find this bad boy on top a bald mountain!"

"Well chrome, I'd say that your ten years of exploration are really paying off now" senku's says

"Uh yeah, Pretty bad right?" Chrome smirks "We're on top of the bald mountain!"

"Perfect spot to catch lightning We couldn't ask for a better place!" Senku says

Chrome starts trying to jab a wooden pole in the ground "Set up the lightning rod! Quickly!" Senku instructs

Meanwhile kinro and ginro watch from below them in the bushes "You see that?,I think they want to make a tower
should we-" ginros cut off "No way! Your just after a silver spear, aren't you?!" Kinro exclaimed "We came here to keep an eye on them, Rules are rules, Okay?" He reminds

The guys flinched when the lightning stared getting closer "The Lightning's close now" senku says worried

"Crap. There isn't enough time to build real scaffolding, Even so, We have to get as high as we can" chrome syas

"If only there was something long that we hold stick into the ground" kohaku says "Uh?" As yuna turned her head, she saw the golden spear in kinro hand, ginro looks at him confused while his brother sweatdropped "No! Not happening! This is my spear!" He exclaimed, shaking his head "Guess you like it more than you let on..." ginro said giving his bright a look, kinro screams as the spear is kicked out of his hand and into the air

"Sorry kinro!" She exclaimed rising after it, jumping up and grabbing it, tying the rod in her hair band and stabbing the spear into the ground with a battle cry, She jumps out of the way when the lightning descends upon d the rod and spear, kohaku fan girling in the background at yuna's moves

"My spear!" Kinro cried waterfalls, waitng a few moments until the lighting had passed, smoke erupting off of it "Well take a look at that, The lightning god descends" senku smirks, gen was in absolute disbelief "This is crazy senku." Gen says wide eyed "Starting with nothing in this barren Stone world, You actually pulled it off" he breathed as senku's walked over to the rod and picked it up from the burnt spear "Electricity is in play, Get excited people" he smirked

"Woohoo! We scored a magnet for our generator!" Chrome cheered

Kinro walks over to his destroyed spear and picks up the tip, which turns to ash "Oh no, Was your golden spear destroyed?" Ginro asks in mockery

"I'm really sorry kinro I hope you can forgive me,"But it was an emergency" yuna says smiling sheepishly

"I'm sure senku will make another one if you ask him" Suika says "Hey kinro, Where did that special spear of yours go? Gone forever huh? And you were so protective of it too, I mean you never even let me borrow it once, And get here we are, It's a real shame" girno teases

"Uhh...." both Suika and yuna sweat dropped as the boy had a bunch of busies in his hand as kinro stomped away "Senku! I think we failed to create magnets!" He and yuna gasped "They won't get anywhere near each other," Some force is driving them apart!" They deadpan when they see her holding them the wrong way

"Just switch one of their poles..." senku say

When he did so, the magnets immediately pulled themselves together, The others gasp "Wow! They're so strong!" Suika says excited

"We can make it now, Can't we? The crazy bad thing you called electricity?" Chrome asked "I'm curious, senku, Are you creating a thermal generator? Or a wind turbine? I don't Suppose your going nuclear yet" gen says taking guesses as senku turned to him, picking his ear "It'll be muscle powered" senku states "I should have expected as much..." gen sweat dropped

The villagers lay on the ground exhausted after pumping the furnace again, the group poured the melted copper into a disk mold "We'll hammer the copper to stretch it, Cut into a disk And grind it down" senku said with a puffed up face
Chrome started hammering it, then senku started marking the disk in the copper "Yo! Let's try and grind this disk down with corundum! It's one of the baddest rocks I've got!" Chrome says holding up the rock

"The second strongest mineral after diamond, I really admire your collection chrome" senku says

Yuna and Kohaku began filing it down, with the saw like-structure, Suika around the thin tree holding the two bamboo poles that kept the rock in place "I though we'd coat the copper wire with phosphoric acid, But this lacquer oughtta work just fine" senku said dipping the while in the bowl with the liquid "I've been racking my brain, Trying to come up with the perfect quip, But I think I should just ask..." gen says

"What?" Senku asked

"Why do you look like a human marshmallow?" Gen asked, as he looked at senku's swollen and puffed up cheeks

"Lacquer poisoning" he says

After down time, it had become subset, but they finally finished "Aw yeah!" Chrome cheered, Senku's chuckles as his face was no longer puffy "The kingdom of science advances" he says as she looks at their accomplishment

"Our dual wield hand crank generator is now complete" he smirked

"So do we need to spin them both in unison?" Kohaku asks "That seems pretty challenging" she says

"Not if two of us work together!" Suika Said raising her arms in the air "If they get out of sync title break down, The timing has to be perfect" chrome says "Ugh. This has to be done right, It only we knew a pair who were perfectly coordinated and energetic" senku says, Yuna thinks, then comes up with two people " actually we do" she says, gaining everyone's attention

Time skip

"So you came back again, What do you want this time?" Kinro asks glaring at them, but yuna "Cmon, I'll let you guys check out our baddass science machine!" Chrome exclaimed "Not interested!" Kinro staters harshly, chrome kneels down in despair "You've always been a pretty stubborn guy, But now it feels like your holding a grudge" kohaku inquired

Senku chuckes picking his ear "He must still be upset that we ruined the golden spear I made for him, Huh?" They are then Confused when gen walks forward and goes "What now?" Kinro asked

"Wow! Electricity sure is amazing! Thanks sorcery!" He smirked in our technological civilisation Electricity let's us have all sorts of nice things!" Kinro huffed turning his back "With our new generator, We might even be able to create and repair gold and silver tipped spears, Isn't that right senku?"

"Electrocuting is pretty damn difficult, Do you actually know how to do it?" Senku asked whispering to him "I don't Have the faintest idea" gen shrugged while they deadpan at him"I was right about you, Every word out of your mouth really is just like feathery fluff" kohaku growled " well it seems to be working..." yuna said, they look to the two she pointed at, that had eager looks on their faces at the thought of silver and golden spears

The two yelled out as they cranked the machine "They're a great team, Perfectly in sync" kohaku comments as senku chuckled "Kinro and ginro are mine now, The kingdom of science is building up a solid workforce" senku smirks "But are they actually generating electricity?" Gen asked, senku walks over and holds out a leave in front of him which had something laying on it, he took a closer look and saw a thin little rod bent up "It's a stream-roasted bamboo fiber" senku says

Gen gasped in surprise

Time skip

Senku's and chrome began setting it up on the roof of the shed "Does it need to be that high up?" Kohaku asked, Senku chuckled "Not really, But I figured we might as well" As they worked, gens eyes widened in realisation about what senku was doing

"I see now, He's using that bamboo fiber to create a Edison light bulb"

"I've never heard of a bulb of light" Suika says tuning to him

"Chrome, Does the night scare you?" Senku asked

"Well...Yeah, Because everything gets dark" he says "Why do you ask?" He asked curiously, senku began explaining "Back in our day, There was no darkness, With old man Edison's incandescent light bulb, Humanity beat back the night, Concurred all 24 hours of the day, Through the power of science, Mankind defeated the darkness, And now we're gonna do it again" senku smirked "For the first time in 3,700 years, the flame of science will burn" He connected to two wires to the bamboo fiber, and it lights up, and starts to glow bright, much to the groups awe, it was so bright if any of the villagers were out, they could see it too, even the animals of the forest could see the light

Yuna looked over at gen and saw his awe expression and smiled slightly

' we will bring back humanity...'
