Tsukasa and his army. There were coming.

Gen had come to warn the Kingdom of Science.

He said that Tsukasa mentioned there not being a body, that Senku being alive was an if. And if he was, that wouldn't be good for Tsukasa. So he plans to form an army and take the village by force to not risk Senku possibly coming across it.

It turns out Tsukasa had been reviving tons of people.

And this news caused the primitives of the kingdom of science to get worried.

The modern scientists, on the other hand.

"We've come to an all-out war between the Kingdom of Science and the Kingdom of Might. This is exhilarating!"

"I love a good rush. Man, I've been waiting so long to finish what Tsukasa and I started!"

Unknown to the group, they were being watched...

Gen mentioned someone named Hyoga, who was also bad news. He said he'd told them he'd go as a spy and leave first, but he could only bring the Kingdom of Science so much time.

Then Ginro ran in.

"Guys! Bad news! The enemy is here!"

Without hesitation, everyone followed, making their way to the bridge where Kinro was fighting ferociously against someone unfamiliar.

Hyoga. Gen clarified.

Kohaku ran to help but got held back by her father.

Kinro barked for his brother to cut the bridge and prevent the enemy from crossing into the village.

Ginro was hesitating. It was his brother. He had to choose between the villagers and his brother...it wasn't an easy choice.

Ginro began sawing away, trembling.

But at his brother's muttered words...

"That's it. I can no longer be saved."

He stopped, crying out, "I can't do it. How could I? Kinro would die if I did that! I can't do it, Nii-chan!"

Amelie's gaze snapped to Senku's; they had the same idea.

Senku didn't even have to open his mouth for Amelie to move. She snatched an iron tube from Kaseki and filled it with dirt. Next, she took the jar from Senku's belt that he offered and poured the substance into the tube.

"Who would have thought we'd be using the last of our gunpowder for a bluff?" Senku held a fire torch.

Gen gaped, "Are you serious?"

He walked to where Magma stood with the other villagers, "You're the strongest one in the village, right, Magma-chan?"

"Yeah."

Gen grinned, holding up a rock, "Throw this rock at the enemy as hard as you can."

Magma questioned him, asking him why he should listen.

So Amelie stepped up for the job, offering an innocent smile, "Remember all those weapons I have? I think your body would be a nice resting place for them if you don't throw the damn rock, Magma."

In an instant, Magma snatched the rock from Gen's hand.

Gen's brows were raised, "Amelie-chan, I think you've gotten scarier lately."

Senku lit the rope that was sticking from the tube, and Amelie held it up, aiming at the enemy.

Gen made a gesture to signal Magma to throw, "Magma-chan!"
