AJ yawns, morning has come, and while waking up uncomfortably isn't uncommon for him, what was shocking was when he looked down to find Ryuko's head against his shoulder he smiles with a nervousness to it. His eyes widen as she awakens. When she does she jumps back grabbing her scissor blade and pointing it at him.

"Hey, hey, hey, put the blade down. I just woke up. Also, did you know you suck your thumb in your sleep?"

Ryuko scoffs not lowering her blade. 'Really that's what your concerned about?!" She rolls her eyes, and slightly lowers the blade. "Did you know you talk in your sleep?" She asks him sarcastically.

She stands up to stretch as Senketsu & BB laugh in the background.

"Yes I am quite aware that I talk in my sleep. Why did I say something stupid in my sleep again?"

"Oh, nothing too bad... other than that you'd kill anyone who hurt your girlfriend."

AJ fumbles for a moment, while getting dressed. "But I don't have a girlfriend..." he mutters while walking out of room. "Hey Ryuko, bacon or sausage with your eggs?" He asks from the kitchen.

"Bacon!" She replies, her shout much louder than his.

"Alright, you didn't have to yell ya know. And your lucky we still have some looks like I'm having sausage then."He closes the fridge carrying the supplies of food.

Thomas exits a separate room holding a small cube and a bottle of water taking a deep breath. "Wait a minute" He smells the air again. "AJ's making bacon and sausage?" Thomas turns to the kitchen and shouts entering the kitchen. "AJ, you better make me some to! Extra hot sauce damnit!"

"Fine, top yelling! You're paying for groceries this weekend!l A few moments later the pair walk back into the living room with three plates. "Pure bacon and eggs for Ryuko. Extra hot sauce for Thomas' and mine. The three all appreciate the food that they eat. Ryuko and AJ nod to Thomas while heading to school.

Thomas however walks away from

Once the trio arrive at the school, they're quickly joined by Mako with a smile.

"Well we're here." AJ speaks with a sigh.

"Oh, Ryuko, AJ! My parents..." she's interrupted by being hit with dozens of tennis balls. "...said if..." she's again hit by tennis balls. "...you don't have..." again. "...somewhere to stay..." again. "...you can..." again. "...always stay..." again. "...at my..." once again. "...place."

"I have a house outside of the city. Huh...? AJ catches tennis balls aimed for himself and crushes it using his electricity.

"Mako Mankanshoku, you missed practice yesterday for that you must be punished!" A girl with a massive tennis racket shouts, gathering the group's attention.

"Who are you?" Ryuko questions.

"Omiki Hakodate, captain of the girls tennis club."

Omiki Hakodate

AJ sighs playing along. "Ok girly, she wasn't at practice cause that dumbass we beat yesterday kidnapped her." AJ takes a step forward while pointing at the tennis racket and two star uniform. "I don't feel like being late for class today... so if you'd kindly move. I'd like to get to class. Thanks." He starts walking towards tennis team.

"Hey you!" Hakodate points at AJ who continues walking past the tennis club. "Stop now as a two star to a no-star you must listen to me!"

AJ walks away bored using his electricity to avoid being hit by the tennis balls.

Hakodate growls and then turns to Ryuko. "You there, I recommend you follow your boyfriend while we deal Mankanshoku her punishment."

"He's not my boyfriend. Besides if I have to go through everyone to get to Satsuki then I'll take yo- Ugh!" Ryujo is sent flying by multiple tennis balls to the face. "Ahhhhh!!"

Meanwhile Thomas stands before a man with a crazed smile who looks up to a pair of red words forming above his head before absorbing them his skin gaining color as he does so.

"Oh, I don't like you here." Thomas comments green electricity bouncing around his body.

"Awe... Lightning boy doesn't remember the strongest person on this planet." The words he absorbed earlier form into red lettering on his black shirt.

"Oh, I remember you, CX-4." Thomas pops his neck, and takes a deep breath. "The runaway experiment."

"Actually it's CR4ZY now to both you and the readers"

CX-4/CR4ZY

"The Who?"

"The readers."

"Whatever, get lost!" Thomas blasts a bolt of green electricity at CR4ZY who stands and watches it approach.

"Ha!" CR4ZY turns to the reader "This won't do anything." Upon contact the area around him explodes into dust and green electricity.

"How's that you crazy son of a bi... oh no."

CR4ZY smiles playfully bouncing some electricity in his hands. "That was nothing. Now let me show you some real power. Flame Barrage."

"Shit!" Several fireballs launch towards Thomas who dodges a few of them. He tries to avoid them as much as possible. As one is about to make contact he does a blast of water rushes him from behind.

"Flooding Storm!"

Thomas growls unleashing his best attack, Lightning Bomb. 'Let's go BloodLust!"

The attacks merge with Thomas and BloodLust releasing their attack at the last second after the steam from the attack vanishes both CR4ZY and Jack stand there glaring at each other.

"CR4ZY! Back down. We need those losers to lead us to them so we can put her down ourselves."

CR4ZY scoffs. "Fine. We'll leave them be until we can kill her. After that I will kill them."

Jack Ripcord

"Hm... what to do now...?" Jack kicks a pile of dirt where Thomas was standing.

"It's a stupid idea, but we could sign up at that school they're going to." CR4ZY shrugs.

"Have some fun?"

"Have some fun."

AJ watched as Ryuko went flying, he sighs and walks away from the school after her. Hours later she awakens at a strange building where sitting in the corner silently sitting in the corner is AJ.

Ryuko mutters to herself "Where the hell am I?"

"Your at my place." AJ turns as their teacher enters the room handing a sprite to AJ.

"Mr. Mikisugi?" Ryuko questions, confused as to why AJ and her teacher are sharing drinks.

"Please call me Aikuro in private."

AJ rolls his eyes taking a bite out of a pizza. "Then I guess it's staying as Mikisugi for now."

"AJ Mankoi, so glad you could join this private discussion."

"What? I need to keep a promise to my old man and watch after this dumbass. Besides, I'm not leaving her with a member of nudist fucking beach."

Aikuro glares at AJ. "You're aware of our mission?"

"Not entirely, but first..." AJ looks at Ryuko then Senkentsu hanging up. "Ryuko, you'll be needing this... one moment." He covers Aikuro's eyes before handing Senkentsu to Ryuko and covering own eyes.

"Thanks...?" Ryuko slowly puts on Senkentsu. "You're clear now."

AJ uncovers eyes along with Aikuro's. "Good. Now, do you want to save Mako or am I doing it?"

Ryuko sighs. "I'll do it."

"Are you sure you don't want me to do it?"

"Positive."

Later, Mako is tied to a pole while being pelted with tennis balls. AJ smirks upon arrival as he lands in front of them a large sheet of blue electricity surrounding them deflecting all of them.

"Seriously Mako, you need to stop being involved with others."

"So the run away has returned." Hakodate smirks, winking at AJ.

"Eh. I'm not your opponent she is." He points at Ryuko.

"Please I've already beaten her. I want to test your strength."

"I would love to, but I already told her I'd stay out of the way for this one."

"When she fails I'm beating you as well!"

Ryuko rolls her eyes standing in front of AJ. "This'll be good."

"How about a game of tennis?"

Suddenly a bright light shines from the top of the tower Satsuki was standing on and she pretty much made their fight into a tennis game as a test for both Omiki and Ryuko but adding AJ into a rematch with Fukuroda.

"Oh joy... I get to fight an idiot. Hey Matoi, use your scissor blade as your racket. You'll do better."

Senkentsu looks up to Ryuko. "He does have a point a normal racket can't stand our strength."

Ryuko grumbles and does as told by the pair. AJ walks away and enters a ring where waiting there is Fukuroda.

"This time you don't have big brother to rescue you and unlike the girl you don't have an outfit that makes you stronger. So you'll be easy pickings." Fukuroda gloats keeping his gloves near his waist.

AJ stifles laughs before breaking out in a full blown laughing fit.

"Why are you laughing?!"

"Oh, for one reason your Goku uniform is useless against someone as skilled as me. Let's go Blackberry. Black Bolt" He releases a large Bomb of Lightning before looking at the frightened Fukuroda.

He fires multiple shots of electricity at Fukuroda stripping the two star Goku uniform from the boy before the life Fiber in the uniform gets absorbed. He then stands up straight and glares at the big four.

'Let's See we have the big guy, the samurai, the cute girl, the nerd and Satsuki. I wonder what they're abilities are.' AJ thinks to himself jumping towards Ryuko's battle. When he arrives he sees Ryuko stripping Omiki of her uniform and he immediately covers his eyes

"I can tell you've gotten stronger but I recommend we leave. You're at your limit." He hears Omiki go flying away and uncovers eyes.

"Fine, whatever. But I'm taking down Satsuki."

"Sure But don't go craz..." He's interrupted by An explosion is seen with water fire and lightning and B.B. confirms what AJ feared when he saw the electricity explosion.

"AJ, I sense that Bloodlust was activated..."

"Shit."
