Assassination Foiled!


Carlos and Max saw Luna on the Perseus' deck! 

Carlos: Of course, Ms. Luna snuck in, no problem! The bad guys are probably head over heels for her! 

Max: Curse that Stanley for exposing Ms. Luna to danger like that! 

Carlos: Still, this sniping plan, I wonder how long we'll be here. I mean ... right? Ms. Luna's gotta bring the target out onto the deck, but until then, we're here, waiting. 

Max: Is that why the water bottles are here? All so he can sit here for hundreds of hours without losing focus? Stanley is an absolute beast! 

Stanley: Which one is he? Which one is Mr. Dr. Professor Taiju? 

On the Perseus... 

Minami: And, that's the gist of it! We're out to revive all of humanity! We were hoping to have your cooperation, of course. Obviously, we won't surrender and serve under you, but we're always open to a civilized discussion. 

Ginro: Uh ... can the enemy even hear what you're saying? 

Homura: It's a radio broadcast. 

Minami: I figure it's worth putting out there, at least. Though we don't know what kind of person this Dr. Xeno is. 

On the deck... 

Weiss: So, this Luna girl is a spy working for Xeno! 

Senku: That's why we extract intel out of Xeno and his people through her. In a science battle, the greatest weapon is information! 

Sci-Twi: It's just like we have Gen infiltrating their base. The odds are seventy to thirty that she's a spy. 

Senku: As long as she gives us the info we need, who cares? 

Ryusui: HA! That's just the sort of logical thinking we've come to expect of you! 

Weiss and Sci-Twi: Somehow, it's scary that the logic of Senku and the greed of Ryusui match up. 

Luna: Okay, my job is to find this Mr. Dr. Professor Taiju, and get him onto the ship's deck so ... oh boy ... there's so many people here! I- 

She saw you. 

(Y/N): Hi Luna! 

Luna: HI! ARGH! NO! Focus! Don't be distracted by this cute and smart guy. I'm Luna, the Smoothest Operator. Let's think this through. He uses his wisdom to lead all these kids. Though I'm around the same age as most of these people. He built up their science from the Stone Age to this point. He's gotta be a really intelligent, hard-working guy with convictions to match! TOTALLY MY TYPE! So, I need to find the guy that I find really attractive! Even my feelings are crucial! 

She started looking around and saw Yo. 

Yo: Hey there, Hot Stuff! 

Luna: Ugh, no way. 

Then she saw Magma, who pulled out his axe. 

Luna: No, not him! He's probaly not going to reveal himself. I'd better be prepared for a long drawn-out battle! 

Yuzuriha: Hey Taiju! 

Taiju: Yes, Yuzuriha? 

Yuzuriha: Sci-Twi said that the science team needs your help in hauling some lumber! 

Taiju: I'm on it! 

Luna: 

Luna: HIM?! THAT GUY?! He doesn't look like the scientist type! But whatever, anyone else might have missed him completely. Now, the good doctor probably focuses on science stuff down below deck. Not the type to stroll around outside. So how can I lure him onto the deck so- 

Taiju: I'm on the deck, guys! 

Luna: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! All ... I have to do ... is point at him and- 

(Y/N): Hey Luna! I'm (Y/N). Do you think you can tell me what you know about Xeno? 

Luna: I ... I ... I ... 

She turned completely red as you approached her and collapsed. 

(Y/N): Poor thing. 

Later... 

Sci-Twi: So, she's still tense? 

(Y/N): Seems like it. 

Ryusui: Francois, why don't you make our new guest feel welcome? 

Francois: Alors, c'est à moi de jouer. Please make use of Bar Francois. I do not know what Mistress Luna desires, but we can venture a guess. 

(Y/N): How about Ice Cream? 

Senku: You got anything to back that up? 

(Y/N): Do you know anyone who doesn't like ice cream? 

Weiss: True, most of the people I know like ice cream. A very lovely and delicious treat. 

Yo: You'd got to be nuts to have something against ice cream! 

(Y/N): Now, how do we make ice cream in the Stone Age? 

Sci-Twi: Oh that's easy! Milk, sugar, and in place of the gelatin, we use Kudzu Powder to make it smooth and velvety! 

Senku: Vanilla essence makes the difficulty skyrocket. 

(Y/N): So, we've got to use science to make the flavor go well! 

You began to assist Senku and Sci-Twi using copper wire around a test tube, and sticking some iron in it. 

Senku: Now we hook it up to our cell phone's high-voltage battery and- 

(Y/N): HERE WE GO! 

You turned it on and it glowed purple! 

Luna: What are they doing? 

She saw how you were working! 

(Y/N): Man, is that ozone? 

Senku: Yep. 

(Y/N): ARE WE MAKING ICE CREAM OR NOT?! 

Homura: I have a bad feeling about this. 

Senku: Now, take bya laurel extract and boil it in our old friend sodium hydroxide and infuse with the ozone we just made to get the rebirth of vanilla essence! 

(Y/N): OKAY! 

You did just as Senku said! 

Francois: Now, stir as the ingredients chill- 

Senku: And add salt to the ice, drops the temp a few dozen degrees. 

Luna: THAT MUST BE DR. TAIJU! I HAVE T- 

Nikki: Not so fast, since you're hurt, you'd better get some rest. 

(Y/N): IT'S DONE! 

You started giving soft serve vanilla ice cream to everyone! 

(Y/N): You can't go wrong with it! 

Villagers: SO SWEET!!! 

Weiss: (licking ice cream) It's amazing how it has the sweet taste and smoothness. 

Luna: How did you use that to make vanilla? 

(Y/N): Hey, you can always work on whatever we're lacking. Humans have been preserving like that for two million years. Getting to the root of the raw elements that make up this world of ours helps us create stuff we've got no business having. 

Luna: W-Well ... job well done with this. It's really elegant. 

Senku heard that. 

Senku: Luna, is Dr. Xeno a former NASA scientist? 

Luna: WHAT?! HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?! 

Weiss: Senku, you know him? 

Senku: Yeah, Dr. Xeno is my mentor. 

(Y/N): WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! 

Sci-Twi: HE WAS YOUR MENTOR?! 

Weiss: He must have woken up at the same time we freed Senku and set his sights on acquiring nitric acid. 

(Y/N): The difference is that Senku is using his intelligence to help us save humanity, while Xeno is using it for something evil. Possibly world domination! 

Weiss: You really think so? 

(Y/N): I mean, he's an evil version of Senku. He probably wants to rule the world. 

Weiss: (Sigh) If Ruby were here, she would say something like, "OF COURSE!" 

Luna: What the hell are they talking about over there? You know, that Senku guy is pretty sexy as (Y/N). Whatever the case is, I'm going to sniff it out. Because I'm Luna, the smoothest operator. 

Taiju: SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT THE PRO WHO HELPED US MAKE ROCKETS IS THE BIG BOSS OF THESE BAD GUYS?! 

Luna: AGH! HE'S ON DECK! THIS IS IT! TIME FOR MR. DR. PROFESSOR TAIJU TO SAY GOODBYE! Now all I have to do is point to my right side, and then Stanley will shoot this guy, and victory will be ours! 

Senku: We're lucky that Luna revealed this. That means the Medusa is our ace in teh hold if Doc Xeno is our enemy! 

Ginro: HUH?! WE CAN USE IT AGAIN?! 

Sci-Twi: No, it's still out. But he must know that scientific weapons are powerful. He's the type to take over the new world with the Medusa. There's no way he would overlook something like that. 

Ryusui: HA! So it doesn't matter we cna't use it ourselves! Becuase this enemy is a talented science user, we can make out the Medusa to be some ultimate weapon! 

Luna, the whole time was trying to point at Taiju,  but she was struggling, and- 

Luna: I CAN'T! 

Luna: What's gotten into me?! I'm the smoothest operator and yet I- FIN! I gotta get my message across! 

She then started saying "Sen ... Ku." 

Max radioed the transmission in. 

Minami: HEY! Senku, I was about to send out the timed broadcast, but when I went to tinker with the equipment, it started making noises like "pee-gaaa."

(Y/N): What does that mean? 

You all started hearing it. 

Senku: It's scrambled, a message sent via an actual encryption device. 

Taiju: Passing secrets to each other? NO FAIR! 

Weiss: This must be the work of Xeno. 

Nikki: Can't we crack it? 

Sci-Twi: We could, but not without a spectral analyzer. 

Taiju: Obviously, I have no clue what that is. 

Stanley pointed at Taiju. 

Stanley: Looks like you're Mr. Dr. Professor Taiju. Time to- 

Xeno: NO! STAN! STOP! This Taiju is a decoy! The real leader is a scientist named Senku. Senku Ishigami. 

(Y/N): HEY! 

You noticed Stanley! 

(Y/N): THERE'S A SNIPER IN THE TREES!! 

Stanley stopped to listen to Xeno. 

Xeno: That other one we heard over the radio showed judgment befitting of a scientist. All those thousands of years ago, the boy with whom I discussed rocketry for as many hours as there are stars in the sky, the personality that came across his writing. I made sure to record all transmissions and this one contains Senku's voice. 

Stanley: It's not like I can hear their voices from here. 

Xeno: No need to, Stan. With just his voice, I can estimate his height. Given the scope of the smoothing function's domain, I can calculate vocal tract length. Taking into account average body proportions, he's about five feet seven. With a margin of error of one or two inches. He may have grown, but he hasn't shrunk since the first and last time we met. 

Stanley: That's all I need. 

Then he noticed everyone moving! 

Luna looked to Stanley. 

Stanley: IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! DON'T LOOK THIS WAY! I just need to smoke him out and- 

He saw Senku! 

Stanley: I GOT YOU! 

Xeno: NO! STAN! DON'T! 

But it was too late! 

BANG! 

Senku saw the bullet coming for him! 

In an instant, he used a nearby bag of potato starch to shield himself and threw a bottle in front of the bullet! 

(Y/N): SENKU! 

Senku was shot! 

Stanley: It's over. The Chief Scientist is dead. 

Stanley put his helmet back on. 

Stanley: You two head back and keep watch. 

Max: What about Ms. Luna? 

Stanley: Not my problem. 

Carlos: SHIT! Ms. Luna! 

Luna: WHAT DO I DO NOW?! 

You carried Senku as everyone was freaking out! 

Sci-Twi: SENKU! 

Taiju: (crying) SENKU!!!! 

Weiss: NOT AGAIN! WHY?! 

Everyone: SENKU'S DEAD!!! WHY MUST THE GOOD DIE YOUNG?! 

Ryusui: EVERYONE! STOP IT! They're thinking "With Senku gone, those kids can never hope to match us! Now we'll slowly squeeze the fight out of them until they surrender!"  This is our chance to strike back! 

Yo: You ain't wrong, but how can we just move on from this? 

Ginro: We might as well dig a grave for h- 

Senku: (coughing up blood) I ain't dead yet, dummies! The fragments passed right through me, nice and clean. 

(Y/N): OH THANK GOD! 

Ryusui got to patching him up. 

Taiju: Don't force yourself to talk, buddy, you need rest! 

Ginro: YAY! SENKU IS- 

Matsukaze covered his mouth. 

Matsukaze: Please forgive me, my lord. 

Kinro: Yes, shouting loud enough for our enemy to hear isn't very wise. 

Kaseki: Look, it looks like a bottle and this bag slowed the bullet down. 

Senku: A headshot would've meant ten billion percent instant death. For all they know, I was the only one with the Petrification Cure memorized. So they probably wanted to give me a chance to spill the secret on my death. 

Luna: Amazing, that was amazing. 

Senku fell unconscious. 

Luna: Let me help! 

Weiss: Are you a doctor? 

Luna: No, I'm just a medical student. 

(Y/N): Then please help us, Luna. Please? 

Luna blushed and smiled. 

Luna: You can count on me, forever. 

(Y/N): Huh? What was that last part? 

Luna: N-NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! 

Meanwhile... 

Blake, Chrome, and Kohaku were still near Xeno's castle. 

Chrome: They'll rain arrows down on us no matter how we sneak over there. They're bound to see us coming. 

Blake: It's fine. 

Kohaku: We can handle the arrows, but the machine gun crossfire will be dangerous. 

Ruby: You ned a hand? 

Ruby's squid arrived! 

Blake: You made i- AGH! 

Yang hugged Blake and kissed her! 

Yang: YOU'RE OKAY! I WAS SO SCARED! Did any of them shoot at you? WHERE'S THAT FUCKER XENO?! 

Blake: YANG! YANG! 

Yang let go of Blake as she was panting for breath. 

Kohaku: How did you find us? 

Suika: Gen's trail of flowers led us here. 

Tsukasa: I might suggest sneaking through the cornfields at night. 

Ruby: The problem is we'll still be exposed to them. We could use the lake, but there's too little cover. 

Hyoga: Once we've infiltrated the forress, we should have the advantage in close combat. 

Ukyo: The problem then is that we have to grab Dr. Xeno and make our way out. 

Tsukasa: Our only option is to dig. 

Ruby: Yep! A subterranean tunnel into the base! 

Chrome: B-BAAAAD! 

Suika: That sounds like a lot. 

Blake: We could just ask Senku and Sci-Twi for that. 

Ukyo: Speaking of, we got a call from the Perseus. 

Sci-Twi: 43, 32, 33! 

Blake: Huh? 

Kohaku: What is Sci-Twi saying? 

Ukyo: That's the Uesugi Cipher. Kenshin Uesugi made a system where a pair of numbers points to an element in the Japanese syllabary. 

Hyoga: I don't understand how that will help with0 

Ukyo: WHAT?! SENKU WAS SHOT?! 

Ruby: HE'S BEEN SHOT?! 

Ukyo: What? 

(Y/N): Senku says, 47, 12, 42. 

Ukyo: That means Ku-Ro-Mu. Chrome! 

Ruby: Chrome, you're in charge now!
