Fortunately, the machine gun's bullets only did minor damage to the lab-boat's roof. It was easy for Senku to quickly fix it as you all sailed down the river the next day, on your way back to the Perceus.
"There's another science-user just like Senku on the other side of the world?!" Taiju asked as you and him joined Senku on the roof.
"So your theory was correct!" you told him. "The one about another scientist who revived on their own just like you."
"To me it was inevitable." Senku said. "Scientific knowledge is free for everyone around the world. Anyone can learn if they want to."
"So like..." you paused, thinking about that machine gun and still a bit shaken about it. "How did they get to that level of technology?" you pointed at the bullet marks and started to count the possibilities on your fingers. "They could have more people than us. Or they've been here way longer than us."
'But if that was the case, why would they waste their time inventing weapons?' you frowned. 'Killing animals? That'd be a tad much. Well...they are Americans.'
"Either way," Senku smiled. "their science is a teeny bit more advanced than ours. At least in terms of weaponry."
From his driver seat, Ryusui nodded.
"There's one more irrefutable fact:" he said. "this person is all too eager to see us dead."
"Is that the sound of an engine behind us?!" Ukyo suddenly exclaimed.
"Oh boy, they're at it again already?!" you said as you started to look around. "I don't see anything."
"Even with my eyesight I haven't spotted a thing." Kohaku said. "And we've been pulling away from them throughout the night. Nobody could catch up to us this quickly."
"But then..."
"Wait." you heard Ukyo. "That sound, it's..."
You didn't need him to finish his sentence. You noticed Senku looking up, his eyes wide open. You quickly followed his gaze and gasped. High in the sky moving steadily was a dark dot.
It was a plane. And it was coming down fast.
"Senku?" you looked at him, speaking with a little voice, but then you frowned. "Senku!"
He didn't respond. He seemed to be paralyzed, staring at the place with almost unblinking eyes, his mouth slightly open. Some would say it was shock, fear or this crushing feeling that you were fucked. But you knew him. You grabbed his shoulder and shook him a bit.
"You'll get your own toy later! What do we do?!"
"Right." he said before going on 'quick thinking' mode.
He took a flask, filled it with water from the river and mix it with calcium carbide, usually used as fuel for gas welding. Meanwhile, the plane flew right above the river and opened fire, you and your group were safe inside the lab, but the fighting team had to jump ship. Thankfully nothing was destroyed and only minor injuries were given. Finally, with the help of Kirisame's throwing skills, the chemistry formula was thrown into the plane's engine and busted it. Then the plane soon crashed somewhere in the forest.
You guys didn't waste any time and went to where it crashed.
"But what if they decide to come back with friends?!" Ginrou asked. "We'd better skedaddle while we can!"
"Run away?" Ryusui smiled weirdly.
"What are you saying?" Senku smiled in a similar fashion. "We're gonna do the opposite of that!"
"Oh boy." you sighed. "They both want the plane."
You reached it after a while, it was stuck in a big tree and looked only slightly busted. Kohaku climbed up there and did a quick search but found no one.
"Do you think whoever it was ran away?" she asked. "We could've interrogated them for some information."
"Oh well, looks like they left something behind." Senku said like nothing was wrong in the world.
"Indeed, finders keepers." Ryusui of course followed him on that.
You smiled and shook your head.
"You two are such kids."
"Well it's like you said." Senku smiled at you as Taiju started to chop the tree down, both to take the plane down and to then craft a platform to put it on so you could pull it with the boat. "I could get my own plane later."
"And later is now?"
"Kukuku! Exactly!" his cheeks turned a pinker shade, his smile grew larger. "The righteous kingdom of science is all too happy to accept this gift! We'll just have to refurbish it into a plane that fights for good!"
"Hahaha! We nab a bit on the enemy's firepower and make it our own!" Ryusui added. "What a fantastic strategy!"
You sighed again.
"I thought you'd be as excited as them (Y/n)-chan." Gen looked at you.
"I'm not that into it when that thing tried to kill us just a few hours ago."
