"So this uhh red thread thing," Haruka started as she pointed to Daisuke' red threads. "Kinda like absorbed into my body when I broke it."

Everyone, accept Daisuke and Kano of course, went wide-eyed at the words spoken by Haruka.

"It absorbed into your body?" Ryūko asked stuttering.

"You know what it is?" Haruka blurted out.

"We all know what it is," Satsuki responded while looking down at the red thread squeezing her.

Ryūko broke the red thread effortlessly then watched them get absorb into her. "Yep they're life fibers."

"What the hell are life fibers?" Haruka asked worriedly.

Senketsu did the same thing Ryūko did then watched the life fibers absorb. "It's too complicated to explain."

Ryūko, ignoring Senketsu, looked over at Haruka with a slight flame in her eyes. "Did you just curse?"

"N-no Mom," Haruka stuttered as she slid against the wall.

"When you get home you're grounded for a week," Ryūko stated. "Anyways we gotta get outta here."

"No joke," Senketsu responded.

Satsuki continued to struggle in the threads until Ryūko broke them for her as they absorbed into her body. "Thanks," Satsuki muttered.

"Welcome sis. Now help me get the threads off our kids," Ryūko stated as she broke the threads tying the still passed out Daisuke.

Senketsu broke the threads for Kano then handed her over to Satsuki. "We need to hurry guys."

"I don't think so," Hitoshi piped in. "You can't leave so soon. What's the rush?" He smirked.

Everyone looked back with a terrified look.

"Damn it he noticed us," Ryūko thought. "There is no rush. We just want to go home. And we'll do anything to get outta here." Ryūko stood up."How come that was hard? It feels like something is weighing me down."

"I'm surprised you were able to stand up Matoi," Hitoshi hissed.

"Why's that?" Ryūko asked.

"Oh well I'm assuming you and your husband and sister found out that the red threads were life fibers right? Well the life fibers were coated with a substance that made anyone who touched it feel stiff. It also makes the user feel weighed down," Hitoshi spat.

"You bastard," Ryūko clenched her fists.

Senketsu stood next to Ryūko, followed by Sastuki. "Ryūko..." Satsuki and Senketsu started.

"What?!" Ryūko screamed as she turned her head.

"Now Kisho!" Hitoshi screeched as he pointed a peculiar looking gun at Ryūko then fired it.

"Yes sir!" Kisho screamed back pointing his look alike gun at Haruka and shooting it.

"Ahhhhh!" Ryūko and Haruka screamed then fell to the ground unconscious.

"Ryūko! Haruka!" Senketsu and Satsuki screamed.

"I'm allowing the rest of you to escape. So go if you're planning to," Hitoshi stated.

"Go..." Ryūko mumbled weakly.

Senketsu looked down. "But..."

"Go..." Ryūko repeated then closed her eyes.

"We should go," Senketsu finally said while picking up Daisuke.

"Ok," Satsuki replied while picking up Kano.

As they started walking away, Kisho yelled "All units attack the escapers!" And at that instant Senketsu and Satsuki ran like hell out of the bunker.

"Tie them up," Hitoshi commanded.

"Yes sir," Kisho responded as he tied up the ankles and wrists of Ryūko and Haruka.

"Move them to the X room," Hitoshi stated.

"Are you sure sir?" Kisho asked. "Are they really that dangerous?"

"They are beyond dangerous my brother," Hitoshi replied.

"Ok sir," Kisho responded as he dragged Ryūko and Haruka to the X room. Once Kisho got to the X room, he tied Ryūko to one "X" shaped piece of metal and Haruka to another. "That'll do." And with that Kisho walked away locking the room.

A few hours later Ryūko slowly opened her eyes and looked around. "Where the hell..." Then suddenly she remembered what happen before she got hit. "So they escaped...thank goodness."

"Mom..." Haruka grunted as she looked to the side. "Where are we?"

"I'm not sure Haru. But we are gonna get outta here I promise," Ryūko replied.

"Mom I don't feel good..." Haruka muttered.

"What do you mean? You feel weak? Sick? Motionless?" Ryūko looked over.

"All the above," Haruka replied dropping her head towards the floor.

Ryūko sighed.

Satsuki slammed the door shut. "I think we're safe now."

"Ok," Senketsu replied breathing heavily. "But what are we gonna do with our kids...and Ryūko?"

"We'll think of something," Satsuki replied seeming calm but on the inside feeling overwhelmingly worried.
