Magma: Okay, I have to ask, how the hell are we going to fly?! Not even someone like you could- 

Magma turned to look at Yo, who was snickering. 

Magma: HEY! 

Yo: Sorry, I can't laugh at this. I've got no clue how we're going to fly. 

Suika: We all imagined it, flying up in the sky like birds, I think it'll be great. 

Kaseki: I can feel it coming! This is going to be a long road for us! 

Sci-Twi: Oh no, it's pretty short. 

Sci-Twi drew the plans. 

Weiss: That's it? 

Kaseki: THAT'S IT?! 

Senku: Yep! The balloon's just about the simplest thing imaginable! You could pack up the entire flight kit and stuff it in a car. 

Gen: So, flying is no big deal then? 

(Y/N): Not really, Gen. 

Nikki: Wait, won't the air leak right through it? 

Sci-Twi: Glad you asked that, Nikki. The first hot air balloon was made the same way. There's even a theory that the ancient Nazca Lines were observed from the air that way, by their own creators! 

Senku: The greatest hurdle though is that- 

Yuzuriha: Let me guess, a ton of cloth right? 

(Y/N): Sorry Yuzuriha, but no one can sew as well as you! 

Senku: HAHAHAHA! LOOK AT THAT! OUR HANDICRAFTS PRO IS UP FOR IT AGAIN! 

(Y/N): SENKU! 

You glared at hi, and he just bowed. 

Senku: The Science Team will be busy planning for the actual flight. We can leave the whole cloth-making job to you and your team, Yuzuriha. 

She high-fived him. 

Yuzuriha: I'm on it! 

Ruby: YEAH! LET'S DO IT! Taiju? You want to- 

Taiju: YES! 

Ruby: He'll do anything for her. It's cute! 

Weiss: You too, Yo. 

Yo: Wh-What? When did I get chosen? 

Taiju was crushing the hemp with a big log! 

Taiju: Ha! I was born to do this! 

Magma: I still don't get it. How are we going to fly with grass? 

Yo: Wow, you are stupid. We're making threads. 

Magma punched Yo in the face, and Yo threw a big rock at him! 

(Y/N): GUYS! WOULD YOU- 

Both idiots were beating each other up. 

Weiss: MORONS! 

Weiss hit them both! 

Weiss: Okay, Yuzuriha, what's next? 

Yuzuriha: We'll use these tops to make the threads, like in school. Just take the loose fiber bits, the separated hemp, and then wind them around and around and you have threads! 

Ruby was getting the hang of it! 

Ruby: THIS IS FUN! 

Yo even managed to do it! 

Yo: Hey, this is fun! 

Yuzuriha: Now, all we need is tens of thousands of kilometers of this tuff! 

Weiss: COME ON, PEOPLE! LET'S GET TO WORK! 

Several of them were getting work done already. 

Magma: Yeah, I still don't see the big picture. 

Yo: Dumbass. 

Magma was about to say something, but Weiss but in. 

Weiss: 

https://youtu.be/6d9eMmfNEsk

Play from 0:02-end... 

Both of them shut up. 

Yuzuriha: Now we stretch out a bunch of them vertically like a harp, and weave one across horizontally, over and under, over and under, just like that. 

Ginro and Kinro were confused as they looked at the design. 

Kinro: You do this over and over again? 

Ginro: And slowly make the cloth, bigger, one thread at a time? 

Yo: Th-That's gonna take real dedication. 

Yuzuriha: It would take a long time. 

Ruby: Hey Kaseki, do you think you can make a loom for us? 

Kaseki: Oho ho! You bet! That sounds like my kind of thing! 

Yuzuriha: I need a flat board, basically, there should be normal little holes and long vertical slits that alternate. After passing thread through all of them, you lift the board, so only the threads in the little holes rise up. Then you pass a new thread across, right between the layers, to get that alternating up and down pattern automatically! 

Soon... 

Sci-Twi, Senku, and Kaseki built a loom! 

Yuzuriha was in shock. 

Sci-Twi: Uh ... Yuzuriha? Are you okay? 

Kaseki: Isn't this what you had in mind? 

Senku: Sorry, this was kind on short no- 

Yuzuriha: I LOVE IT! 

She got to work very quickly! 

(Y/N): Nikki, can I leave you in charge of dye? 

Nikki: I'm on it, (Y/N)! 

And so ... 

Cloth had been acquired! 

Minami: Wow! They all look so pretty! 

Senku: We just need a little more. 

Yuzuriha: (panting) A lot of that won't make the cut, cloth that breathes too easily, won't hold the hot air in our balloon. 

(Y/N): Gen! 

Gen: Right! Excuse me, my good people! It's back to the grindstone with all of you! As an incentive, let's have a little contest! Whoever makes the longest thread gets 10,000 Dragos! 

Muscle Men: 

https://youtu.be/B10wQp3IWKc

They got to work! 

(Y/N): Wow, good job. 

Senku: WHERE'D THOSE FUNDS COME FROM?! 

Gen: We'll have all the funds we need soon. Think about all that extra cloth! The fabric that's a little too breathable. Why not transform that into goods to sell at a Department Store? 

Yuzuriha overheard. 

Yuzuriha: YES! 

Sci-Twi: It's official, she's the Rarity of the Stone Age. 

Yuzuriha began to work in private. 

Kinro: Yuzuriha's gone totally berserk! 

Weiss: What happened to that sweet girl?! I mean- 

Taiju: No way, she's always been like that when crafting. 

Ruby: I'll say it once, and I'll say it again, I really ship those two! 

Yuzuriha: DONE! 

She came out with clothes. 

Ruri and Kinro were dressed up first! 

(Y/N): Wow! That looks good! Ruri! YOU LOOK SO CUTE! 

Gen: Antastic-Fay! Yuzuriha made all of this just frmo hemp cloth?! 

Ruby: AWWW! SUIKA LOOKS SO CUTE! 

Mirai: They look expensive! 

Nikki: I ... kind of ... want this. 

Soon enough, everyone was getting fancy new clothes! 

Tsukasa: It seems that Ryusui is playing along too. 

Tsukasa pointed out to the Conglomorate Pirate, who was laughing with all of Yuzuriha's clothes! 

Weiss: Look at how greedy he is. 

(Y/N): Hang on, I'll contact Chrome's group. 

Soon... 

You called out to Chrome, Blake, Yang, Kohaku, and Ukyo. 

(Y/N): Hey Chrome, we're making a flying machine. 

Chrome: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! 

You nearly dropped the phone because of his scream! 

Chrome: YOU GUYS ARE MAKING A FLYING MACHINE WITHOUT ME?! 

He hung up. 

(Y/N): I got him excited.

Chrome: SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD! I WANNA FLY SO BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!

Eventually... 

Sci-Twi: I estimated how big the basket is, and it can hold up to four people. 

(Y/N): Who wants to volunteer first? 

Gen: Uh ... I prefer to stay on the ground. 

(Y/N): Okay, aside from Gen. I know Sci-Twi and Senku are going up. 

Senku: (eating meat) Well, right now we need someone who can navigate hard winds. 

Sci-Twi: Yeah, someone who- 

Taiju: I got it covered. HEY RYUSUI! 

(Y/N): Oh no. GEN! 

Gen: RIGHT! Hey eveyrone, gather around! 

Gen let cards come out of his sleeves! 

Gen: There are still two open spots to decide who will go in the balloon! Just try and find the jokers in this deck of cards! 

Everyone got to pulling. 

Ryusui: Hmph! I see how it is! If you needed my skills that badly, you should have asked! Out of respect, Gen, I'll lower my pilot's reward to just one million Dragos! 

He drew a Theory of Evolution Card! 

Ryusui: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

Gen: Hmph, when people lose what they were convinced they had, that's when the loss hits the hardest. 

(Y/N): Psychological tactics. Very good, keep it up. 

Gen drew a Joker! 

Gen: Oh, I drew a Joker! What a surprise! Tough, it looks like I'm not thrilled about it. 

Ryusui looked traumatized! 

Senku: Hm ... you don't want it? You know, that once-in-a-lifetime platinum ticket? A ticket to ride the new world's first ever flight? 

Gen: I'm a bit scared of the- 

Ryusui snapped his fingers! 

Ryusui: I'LL BE HAPPY TO BEAR THAT BURDEN! 

Gen: Well, I can't just give it to you for free. 

Gen was swimming in money, Scrooge McDuck style! 

Gen: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Weiss: He's good. 

Ruby: Very good. Are you thinking of- 

Weiss: Ripping my father off? Oh, I would love Gen to do that. 

(Y/N): Okay, anyone else want to tag al- 

Chrome: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! 

Ruby: CHROME?! 

Chrome arrived all tired. 

Chrome: DON'T LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS! 

Kinro: CHROME, HOW DID YOU GET HERE SO FAST?! 

Ginro: Weren't you in Ishigami Village?! 

Yo: That punk wants to fly so badly. 

Chrome: I want to see the earth with my own two eyes! 

Sci-Twi: You'd need to go into space for that. 

Chrome: Come on! I want to see it all for myself! 

Gen presented the cards, and Chrome pulled- 

Chrome: YES! I GOT IT! 

He pulled the other Joker! 

Yo: Seriously, Lady Luck is on this guy's side a lot. 

(Y/N): I know. 

That night... 

Everyone gathered as Sci-Twi, Senku, Chrome, and Ryusui took to the skies in the balloon! 

Yang: Happy trails guys! 

Magma: THEY'RE FLYING! 

Suika: They look so tiny! 

Kaskei: It's amazing. WE don't have wings, but that doesn't mean we can't fly. 

(Y/N): GOOD LUCK! 

Sci-Twi: Thanks! 

Chrome: Wow, the balloon is glowing, but it's still dark on the ground! 

Senku: We're 1200 meters high, due to the Earth's rotation, sunlight won't hit us for another 7 minutes. 

Chrome: The Earth really is round. 

Sci-Twi: And we're not reckless idiots like Columbus either. 

Chrome: I really want to see everything on this planet of ours! 

Senku: There's a lot we don't know, like the source of the beam on the other side of this planet. 

Ryusui: HA! I'm your man then! Becuase I'll get you guys there without a doubt! THIS WHOLE WORLD BELONGS TO US! 

The four of them took off in the balloon. 

Ryusui: We're soaring at an incredible altitude. The world record for the highest hot-air balloon flight was set in Japan at 54700 meters! 

Chrome: WE'RE ACTUALLY FLYING! 

Senku: Are you crying? 

Chrome: OF COURSE! WE'RE ACTUALLY IN THE SKY! For you moderners, this isn't a big deal, right? 

Ryusui:  wouldn't go that far! Though I used to fly a chopper or private jet to do my shopping back in teh day! 

Sci-Twi: That's just you being fancy. 

Ryusui: It's as raw and real as it gets! There's nothing between us and the sky! Nothing like this in my opinion! IT'S FANTASTIC!!! 

Then a bunch of seagulls appeared flying by! 

Chrome: WHOA! WE ARE AMONG THE BIRDS!! 

Seagulls: 

https://youtu.be/Ps8aBSnEIXE

Sci-Twi: Yeah, those ones are responsible for a lot of plane crashes. 

Ryusui: I would love to avoid the flock, but it's weird, we're not getting up very high. The way the balloon moves is dependent on the wind, basically it's like sailing a ship in teh sky. All the more reason for me to master this thing here and now, let's go to our goal! 

Chrome: What's that? 

Sci-Twi, Senku, and Ryusui: Ishigami Village. 

Chrome: THAT WOULD TAKE TWO WHOLE DAYS EVEN WHEN POWER WALKING! 

Sci-Twi: But in a balloon, it should only take 2 hours. 

Ryusui: (snapping his fingers) Hence the power of the wind! 

Chrome: Wow! We ran ourselves ragged making that tip! And the return trip is so simple! 

Senku: It's not as simple as it seems, getting to Ishigami Village requires going west, which is tricky. The wind in Japan always blows easily. 

Ryusui: Even an amateur could navigate this craft eastward. 

Chrome: So how are we flying west? 

Sci-Twi: A low-pressure system. Ryusui? 

Ryusui: We're talking natsy winds that produce storms; they spiral counter-clockwise, so we're just taking advantage of that flow to hitch a quick ride to the west. It's tough and super risky! 

Sci-Twi: Yes, but stepping up to that challenge would make us better adventurers. 

Ryusui: Isn't she a true beauty? Smarts nad looks. Now let's learn the skills to fly us to the Village and then we keep going west on our adventure to find the Black Gold! 

Chrome: You may be right, Ryusui, when it comes to adventures on the high seas, but what about dry land? You're still an amateur in that department. 

Senku: Hey, looks like we're roughly following the river down there. 

Chrome: This close to the ground, the terrain determines wind patterns, right? So of course, the winds would guide us along the river. 

Ryusui: But we don't want to be blown out to sea; we'd never make it back. Better gain some elevation. 

Chrome: Any real pro adventurer, who's surveyed the land with his own two feet, would've been able to sense that much at least! BUT YOU ARE ALWAYS IN YOUR BOATS AND THINGS ... SEEMS LIKE YOU'RE THE AMATEUR!!! 

Both of them were butting heads. 

Sci-Twi and Senku: ENOUGH CHEST THUMPING! 

Sci-Twi dropped a little paper doll to see where the wind blew, and it seemed to be strong. 

Ryusui: Hmm ... I wasn't expecting a crisis like this. Guess our westerly flight is up against a real sky God! 

Sci-Twi: Oh no. The Cumulonimbus! 

The storm began to pick up as the balloon was sucked in! 

Ryusui: GET NEAR THAT, AND WE'LL BE SUCKED IN BY ITS AWESOME POWER! OUR BALLOON WILL BE TORN TO SHREDS! 

Sci-TWi: Guess it's time for an emergency landing! 

Chrome: Okay! 

Chrome was pulling on a rope to release some hot air and drop altitude. 

Senku: NO! It's already popped! 

Indeed, there was a hole inside of it! 

Chrome: HOW?! What put that hole in our balloon?! 

Sci-Twi: Those winged devils. They're as destructive as dinosaurs. 

The balloon was getting higher and higher. 

Chrome: Even though we've put a lid on the fire, we just keep rising! 

Ryusui: There's no getting down! The Devil Cloud has us caught in an updraft! BUT THIS IS THE PERFECT CHANCE! OVERCOMING THIS CLOUD WILL FORCE ME TO MASTER THIS CRAFT! HAHAHAHAHAHA! 

Sci-Twi, Senku, and Chrome were brainstorming at that moment! 

And then Chrome remembered one day when he encountered a bair and managed to scare it away! 

Chrome: HERE GOES! WE'LL USE OUR BRAINS AND HEART AND PLUNGE RIGHT THROUGH IT TO THE OTHER SIDE!! 

Sci-TWi: Chrome, that is so crazy, it might just work! 

Senku: No complaints from me. We can rocked up another few thousand meters, and pierce straight through the still growing cumulonimbus. 

Ryusui: Heh, good thinking there, Chrome! 

Senku then threw some Petrification Cure inside of the flames! 

Sci-Twi: SENKU! THAT WAS OUR LAST BOTTLE! 

Senku: I know, but we need a burst of height to beat that cloud! The Cur's a coctail of alcohol and Nitric Acid, so- 

Sci-Twi: It's super flammable! 

A burst of flames went through and the balloon shot through the storm! 

Ryusui: I SEE IT! THE UPDRAFT! THERE'S A PATH THROUGH THE WINDS!!! 

Ryusui guided the balloon through! 

Sci-Twi: WELL DONE! 

They all returned back home. 

Chrome: We made it back in one piece, no big deal, right? 

Sci-Twi: And we all used our heads. 

Ryusui: As long as we join forces, finding that oil will be a walk in the park. 

The three were putting their hands together as- 

Senku: (hanging from the basket) The whole friend schtick is nice and all, but can one of you pull me up?!
