The black haired man gave the five young men thier new scheduels and expected them to go to the new classes immediadely. And they did. The first teacher was male and had blonde hair and very odd eyes. He was sitting in a chair and had his feet propt up on the desk. His long blonde hair was put back in a pony tail and he looked kinda old to be a teacher but it didn't matter here.

"And you are?" the man said his feet still propt up. Lucas handed his scheduel to the man first. His four friends followed suit. The man nodded. "Take your seats." He said and got up from his seat. Lucas sat first.

"Kinda odd having a teacher with prosthetic eyes huh?" Lucas said to his friends. Cole was the first to answer.

"His eyes are prosthetic?" Lucas nodded.

"Ahem." The voice belonged to the teacher who was standing behind Lucas. Lucas turned around in his seat and looked up. The teacher went back to the board he was writing at. "Now that I have everyones attention let me introduce myself. My name is Batou. But you" he said looking at Lucas "Will call me Batou- sensei." General looked at Lucas who was sitting to his right.

"Do you think this class will be hard?" General asked

"If Batou is anything like his anime counterpart this won't be no cake walk." said Lucas looking forward.

"Anime counter-part?" asked Cole Lucas nodded.

"He looks and sounds exactly like a character from Ghost in the shell. Not to mention his name is the same. If my hunch is correct Kusanagi and Togusa are here as well. And they suspect us." Lucas said General and Cole looked at each other.

"And you gathered all this by this one man?" Cole asked Lucas nodded

"Its a theory." he said Batou looked at them and continued to talk. Lucas just looked at Batou. Studying his movements. Cole looked at General and said nothing. Lucas was obviously taking this serious and acting accordingly. And they knew Lucas was one hundred percent sure that this man would lead to their downfall. They also knew that so far Lucas had been right about everything.

Soon class was over and they had a strict set of rules. The next class was gym and was led by Mrs. Motoko Kusanagi. The woman stood infront of her students studying them as they studied her.

"Watch out. She is very dangerous." Lucas said "I wonder if Tech-Monkey could hack into her cyberbrain via the back door." General and Cole looked at each other.

"You think Anung could do it?" General asked

"I don't know. She's part of section nine. Her body is top of the line. I bet she has an excillent attack barriers. I don't know if even Shorty could do it." Lucas said. The whole time he was focused on seeing if she really was indeed Motoko Kusanagi from section nine. But in order to do that they would have to follow her after school see where she went. Gym wasn't that difficult. She explained the rules and immideatly went to work on prepairing them to play some basket ball. Lucas was still fairly observant. Since he wasn't really good at sports he just stayed on the sidelines and watched as Cole and General passed the ball to each other until they were on the other side of the court. Anung un Rama, as they called him, sat down by Lucas and began to type something on his laptop.

"How are things?" Lucas asked

"Fairly well. I caused some fragmentaition to the hardware of a big time computer and caused it to crash. But all is good. You?"

"We need to be very careful. They pulled the big guns out on us." Lucas said watching Cole get his butt dragged across the floor. Litterally.

"Big guns?" Anung asked

"Yeah. They sent out Section nine. The have optic-camo and a great sniper. Makes me wonder if General would be able to handle his job now. Not only that but two excellent martial artist and a former cop. And they have prosthetic bodies. Batou-sensei has prosthetic eyes and Motoko- sensei is fully prosthetic. Unless you, Tech-monkey or Shorty can hack into their cyberbrains we're S. O.L."

"Well." Anung paused for a moment. "You think we can do tonights raid?"

"Not sure. We'll need our thermo-optics on though."

"For what?" Cole panted

"They can go invisible Cole." Anung said and pulled out a small device. "Luke think you can climb up to the ceiling and plant this jammer on the speakers?"

"Why?" asked Lucas. Cole-or Tubbles- was the strength of the group. Anung, Shorty, and Tech-Monkey were all the brains. Lucas was the martial arts expert and finnaly theres General. General is the "Saito" of the group. In all honesty Lucas knew why he just didn't want to do the work. Anung knew that the dodgeball tournement, Teachers vs students, was coming up and they always played the most undesirable music known to man. Anung was going to fix that. He was going to use the jammer to stop the music that they were planning on broadcasting and broad cast music from Lucas's MP3 player directly. Lucas sighed

"Very well." Lucas took the small electronic device and began his stealth run up the wall and onto a metal beam. He worked his way around until he got to the speakers. He looked around, jumped off and landed on the speakers. He placed the jammer on the speaker and hooked it up. Once all was said and done he jumpped off and landed on the bleachers and ran back around to were he was sitting.

"Piece of cake." He said with a smile on his face. He knew eyes had followed his run. But he was careful not to show his real skills. Cole looked around he was counting the number of doors and ideal places to make "artificial doors" and processing the number of ways to exit. Anung had already hacked into the bank in wich they were going to hit that night and had seen the number of exits (and entrences) that they could use. Lucas was observing as well. Not by the conventional means of just looking at Kusanagi, But unconventional by looking at epsiodes of Ghost in the Shell. He knew the series well. He knew every movie. Every episode and every hair on that purple haired, fully prosthetic woman's head.

None of their moves was unfamiliar to him. He was re-watching ,however, to determine the best method of taking them down without killing them. They have never killed a man(or woman) on their nightly raids. They have inconpacitated them on a regular basis though. This was going to be a major challenge. Lucas stood up.

"Its almost time for the bell." Lucas said pointing to the clocks on the side of the wall. Cole nodded and stood up. Anung closed his laptop and stood. Then the bell rung.

"Okay time to leave." said Motoko

"I wonder how much longer we're gonna have to stay here?" General asked

"We can leave now."
