3700 years ago all of humanity was petrified by a massive green beam. However, a single man, Senku Ishigami, counted the seconds, memorizing the year, and eventually managed to break free. He established a small base, before Taiju eventually broke free shortly after. The two worked together, and managed to create a revival fluid that could revive people from the stone petrification that encased most of humanity. You were a part of the group that Senku decided to revive. Senku considered you a close friend, so, despite Taiju’s protests, when he found you, he decided to revive you first. However, after reviving Tsukasa, he began to be able to tell the dangerous goals brewing up in his mind. So after reviving both Yuzuriha and you, he took their supply of nitric acid and ran, as his new goal was to creature gunpowder to create a gun, as his only method of fighting back against Tsukasa. However, Senku messed up part of the science, and told Taiju to smack a rock against the not yet ground up gunpowder, causing a massive explosion.

Senku: “Crap, I forgot about that part! That’s my bad, is everyone alright?”

Yuzuriha: “All good over here! Just a little.. spooked is all.”

Taiju: “I’m fine Senku, I could keep doing that for hours as long as it means we can take down Tsukasa!”

However, Senku looks much more concerned than the other two do about the situation.

Senku: “This is bad. If we try to make gunpowder and mess up again, we won’t have enough nitric acid to make the revival fluid properly. So we have to get it right this time!”

Just as Senku was beginning to go into a rant about the chemistry of how gunpowder is created and sparked, Taiju and Yuzuriha seemed to stare into space for a few minutes, before Taiju shouted, overly loud as always.

Taiju: “Senku! Look! A fire in the distance!”

Senku would stare at the fire in the distance with a concerned glare.

Senku: “Well that’s worrying. There’s three possibilities. And one’s the most likely. The first possibility is that it’s a natural fire, started by nature from at some point. But that’s the least likely since it likely would’ve been put out at one point. However, there’s also a chance that Tsukasa started it, but if he was this close I doubt he’d start a fire, as that’s like sending a signal to let us prepare. Which means it’s likely another survivor, someone who had to have been born after the original petrification.”

After Senku described the three possibilities, Taiju looked excited, while Yuzuriha looked slightly spooked.

Fast forward a small argument, and you managed to end up being the one sent by Senku to investigate the fire due to the fact that he was needed to remember the science to bring back the modern world, Taiju would be their only chance on fighting back against Tsukasa if he found them, and Yuzuriha being caught or killed would end up putting Taiju’s motivation in the dumpster, which would mean their main workforce would be completely gone.

As you approached where the smoke signal cane from, you saw a small flame, that was going out quickly, as it seemed someone quickly put it out and either ran or hid. But before you could even gather your thoughts properly a feminine voice shouted towards you.

??? “Hey! Who are you?”

Before you could even respond, a yellow like flash would dash straight at you, kicking you into a nearby tree, cracking the tree from the force you landed against it.

??? “If you’re here for a fight, you’re gonna have to try a little harder you know!”
