"Now my question right now is, why does it feel like we're being watched?" AJ sits back as the school's alarm rings. "This is going to be a long, long day..."

"Life Fiber Synchronization, Kamui Senketsu!" Ryuko shouts transforming to save Mako.

"Taking hostages? That's pretty low." AJ stabs a person also helping to save Mako.

Mako smiles at her friends. "You're so cool, Ryuko, AJ!"

"Shut Up! This girl isn't a hostage."

AJ glances to Mako. "Chained up against her will, her being here was to lure others. That's called a hostage, buddy."

"She is the biology clubs prestigious guinea pig #1!" They all attempt to hurt Ryuko and AJ the latter looking to the former before making a finger gun at the other students.

"Here's a new one. Lightning Dance." From his fingers three bolts blast out parading around the club members before they could get too close and collapsing the group. Their uniforms tear causing the fibers to be absorbed by either Senketsu or the cluster of fibers on AJ's back.

Ryuko shrugs I pressed. "I guess that wraps that up."

"Thanks, AJ, Ryuko!" The trio sit together eating their lunch. They soon after spot Thomas sparring with C-X4 and Jack. The trio not holding back with the exception of them not using their abilities as Ryuko begins to brag. Senketsu speaks up.

"Your blood has been salty lately."

AJ shrugs. "That's a sign of overconfidence."

"That's not a good thing." BB notes.

Ryuko glances between the three. "Huh?"

"Don't think you're getting a little cocky?"

"You can tell that from how my blood taste. Okay then B.B. how does AJ's blood taste?"

"Like I'm eating a bunch of sugary treats." Speaks pleasantly enjoying her meal.

"I didn't realize that you were interested in tasting my blood, Ryuko."

"I can immediately spot any change in your physiology. Everything from your weight to your BMI." Senketsu says.

"I do the same AJ."

"Gah!" AJ drops his food after BB tightens around his stomach.

"Butt out of private stuff like that!"

"Kind of agree with her on that one."

"Relax, you're fine it seems Thomas and AJ both know how to properly treat a person like you."

AJ life his hands in both embarrassment and fear. "Oh my god. I'm going to die. Soon. Mako... can you wait by the bathroom I'll come pick you up in like five minutes."

"Okay!"

AJ yawns. "I'm going to nap so Ryuko. Don't move."

"W-What?!"

He goes to lay down only spot Mako on the floor with needles piercing her skin in every location as Thomas and the others all stop having dodged these needles and regrouping with AJ and Ryuko.

Ryuko rushes to Mako's side leaving AJ seated on a pipe. "Mako! Hey, Mako! Say something!"

"I got her out of here for a while. She is unharmed. Thanks to the effects of the needles, when she wakes up any fatigue she had will be alleviated, any sickness cured, and she will full of vim and vigor." A man with a mohawk stands before the group with what looks like sewing machine's for guns.
