Several days after room 4 mission 8 and room 3 the lost mission
Brandon once again had arrived in tokyo, slung over his back was the huge rail gun that appeared to be some strange stylaized coffin. The millenion building stood in front of him, as he began to walk towards it his muscles all suddenly froze up. He couldn't move an inch, when he tried backing away he went back to normal. He tried walking foreward again and he froze up a second time. It was just as he had been told, even though he had retained his personality his bodys programmed loyalty prevented him from trying to confront Harry a second time.
A bit later
Brandon sat down on a bench in a park, it was a peaceful day, he began to think about his past with Mariah and Harry. As things were he couldn't move foreward anymore. What would he do now? It was then he noticed something odd, some of the grass nearby moved irregularly, it was as if someone was walking on it but no one was there. Brandon immediatly drew his gun and fired at the moving grass, the ground exploded as something evaded his shot. he heard it land in the branches of a nearby tree. Materializing in the tree was a naked girl with pale white skin and hair as well as red eyes, more strikingly she clearly wasn't human as she had several tentacles , dorsal fins, a tale and now two antenna simialer to those the potwatching aliens grew on their heads. She looked down at Brandon, "Your simialer to those others I attacked earlier, but there's something different about you." Suddenly a flash of recognition went across her face as she got a good look at Brandons face. His eyes and hair were different but it was definatly Brandon.
"B..Brandon? Is that you?"
"I don't recognize you. How is it that you know me?" Brandon asked her.
"Oh....I suppose you wouldn't recognize me. It's a long story, you should follow me and I'll explain it to you."
Brandon followed her back to some run down looking wearhouse in one of the shadier parts of town. Inside were about fifteen gigantic humanoids with antennas and a little green kid. Several of the giants seemed to be gathered around a computer and were watching a download bar intently.
"You guys are wasting your time, were on slow ass dialup, it'll be days before that file finishes!" She said to them before walking over to a bean bag chair and sitting down. "This is our secret hide out. I encountered those giants a few days ago, they were targets in a gantz mission along with the green kid. We had a few misunderstandings so I had to beat the shit out of them. Apparantly they seem to think of me as their leader now since i beat them in battle or something..."
"You still haven't told me who you are and how you know me."
"Oh yes...how could I forget, I used to be one of your fellow gantzers, but due to cercumstances I'm an alien now...and I also look like a girl." she said squeezing her boobs. "We only knew each other for one mission, I'm Dan remeber? But you can call me Shadow Dokuko now. It all started after the last mission we both were in with those stupid houses..."
"And that's what happened." she finished explaining her story.
Brandon pulled out one of his gunhs and pointed it at her face.
"Oh? Did something I say offend you?"
"You broke the code of iron, even if it's for a freind the code of iron must never be broken."
"Hmmm...I wonder if your in any postion to be saying that, your no longer human either, your former comrades may be hunting you sometime in the future. I had the choice of either siding with people who would sell me out for a few points and a ball that kills for no good reason or saving the only freind I had since I came into gantz. I have no regrets about my decision, but if you really want to fight I should warn you, you can't kill me with weapons like that. You must have a reason why your no longer human as well. You have something you want to do don't you? If you die fighting me here you won't ever get to do it."
Brandon lowered his weapon slowly
Meanwhile
Gmr had been summoned to Dr. Gaylords rather creepy looking room.
"Gmr, hows it been!" Dr. Gaylord moved foreward to hug Gmr.
"Woah! Whoah! Personal space!" Gmr said backing away remembering when Gaylord had kissed him during a past mission.
"You had expressed some interest in becoming one of my test subjects so that you might see again didn't you? Well you just happen to be in luck, right after the last mission one of Harrys right hand men Bob Poundmax had a heart attack and was rendered dead. He's a valuable asset to Millenion as well as a personal freind of Harry and his executives so I was requested to save him using the method I was going to test on you. It worked perfectly, Bob is now once again among the living and healthier then he's ever been. So are you still up for it? This same procedeur I used on him can cure your blindness."

(woa didn't even notice that but anyway. Here goes. if not everyone can jump in i'll delete it)
Lately Tjad had been suspicious of Harry more and more. He often hung around the building or using STEALTH too look around sometimes. But he hadn't found anything. Even though he was busy with uncovering Harry his mind was on other things. Since the last mission he'd gotten scared. His outburst of rage wasn't normal. Also that dream he'd had. Was it just a dream? Or was it more. It didn't matter though. He had a debt to pay, and he had to pay it no matter what. The main problem was that he had played by Gantz's rules anyway. He just went for the points after losing it. He could've prevented the loss of many lives if he hadn't gone berserk. He was struggeling with this. Did Gantz pick him for that reason? Did he know Tjad had problems with his anger?
''Damn...'' Tjad said while observing the Millenion building.''When did I lose myself? In the commotion of my arrogance? I told myself before I wanted the points for Suzuka. I lied then. Now I'm saying the same...''
Before he could go any further he saw a strange figure down in the streets. This was no ordinary guy since he wore a railgun and a coffin on his back. He walked up to the building but suddenly stopped. The man went back and walk up to the building again only stop at his tracks once again.
''hmmmm... I guess there's no time for self pity,''
He followed the man to a park. From afar he watched as he watched him sitting on a bench. Doing nothing.
''What's up with him?''
Suddenly he shot at the grass.
''That guy's crazy.''
Tjad thought that he might be seeing things. His mental state was probably not normal and he was paranoid. But all of his accusations proved wrong as he saw a naked girl materialize a bit further. Tjad immediately recgonized the characteristics. His first thought was Dokukko. But the color was different and it also had dorsal fins and antenna's.
''Dan? a combination of them both?''
He remembered the alien from two mission ago assimilating another and taking parts of its form. Is this what happened with Dokukko and Dan? If that was it, he was right anyway.
"B..Brandon? Is that you?"
Tjad's eyes lit up.''Brandon?'' he muttered while taking a closer look at the still unknown man. His hair and eyes were different. But he surely showed most of the characteristics.
''I can't believe I didn't recognize him. I survived. But how. I need to find more.''
Tjad followed the two carefully to the warehouse. He had to be very careful and keep a very safe distance. He couldn't know how Brandon would react to seeing him. Tjad didn't want to take any chances. And this Dan or Dokukko or whatever surely wasn't going to welcome him after what he'd done.
"This is our secret hide out. I encountered those giants a few days ago, they were targets in a gantz mission along with the green kid''
''Giants in Gantz? When did that happen? What's he talking about?'' As Tjad became more and more confused he had little time to think about it as the conversation went on.
"Oh yes...how could I forget, I used to be one of your fellow gantzers, but due to cercumstances I'm an alien now...and I also look like a girl." she said squeezing her boobs. "We only knew each other for one mission, I'm Dan remeber? But you can call me Shadow Dokuko now. It all started after the last mission we both were in with those stupid houses..."
''Is something like that even possible? I can't believe this.''
"Hmmm...I wonder if your in any postion to be saying that, your no longer human either, your former comrades may be hunting you sometime in the future. I had the choice of either siding with people who would sell me out for a few points and a ball that kills for no good reason or saving the only freind I had since I came into gantz. I have no regrets about my decision, but if you really want to fight I should warn you, you can't kill me with weapons like that. You must have a reason why your no longer human as well. You have something you want to do don't you? If you die fighting me here you won't ever get to do it."
Dan or whoever he was right. Tjad knew it. He betrayed his comrades over a few points. But another question arose in his mind. Were they ever comrades? They were merely in the same situation. But, Suzuka... she was his comrade. She saved him many times. His loyalty was with her. Dan was right. Tjad was the bad guy. He knew it. He'd betrayed Suzuka by betraying Dan. No that's wrong. There was never any loyalty between Tjad and Dan. Tjad had betrayed Suzuka by fighting for Gantz.

OOC: yes everyone can jump in
ic:
"Your right, there is a reason why I'm like this." Brandon said, Brandon was a pretty silent guy who hardly ever talked, explaining his situation seemed to put a bit of a strain on him. "As you may have thought, the reason why I didn't come back in the next mission was because I was dead, Harry killed me again. However, someone else decided not to let me go so easily."
"Someone brought you back, from the looks of things it wasn't gantz this time." Shadow said as she seemed to think about something.
"That's right, the one Tjad encountered at the end of my last mission, Indra, he brought me back for information, but he seems to have already known most of what I did." Brandon went on to explain the rest of his situation up until the point they met and then went back to being silent.
"Hmmm...so somethings built into you that won't let you attack Harry. That's very interesting, why is Indra interested in helping Harry?"
"I don't know the details myself, but Indras father thinks that Harry can help them in some way."
"I think you might be in luck Brandon, it would also be to my advantage if you were able to confront Harry a second time, and I may have a way of freeing you from their control. But before I do that, there's one thing that needs to be taken care of." Shadows two antenna seemed to glow a bluish color, the antennae on all the giants in the room also glowed. Immediatly they all dropped what they were doing and began to look around. "These weird things on my head I assimalated are pretty handy, even though with this body it seems I can learn things many times faster then as a human, their language is so radically different from ours that I havent been able to decipher much of it. But with these antennae I can communicate thoughts to them directly, what I just communicated is that were being visited by an uninvited guest, someone is hiding nearby, probably a gantzer. Hehehe... I spent more then a month looking for Tjad and the others and then one just happens to wander in here, I just hope whoever it is their from the right room."
As Tjad heard this last bit he thought it might be a good idea to leave but several giants had already gathered around the general area he was in, all of them were brandishing dangerous looking weapons. However they were relying completely on information Shadow was sending them and couldn't pinpoint where Tjad was directly.

He also had a nightmare about being his sexual test subject that made the agreement to come very hard.
Though GmR saw this as his chance,"So when can we start?"

tjad had heard enough. From what he could make out from the conversations there were multiple Gantz rooms. Brandon was saved by Indra but wasn't quite on his side. Harry was siding with Indra. He was right all along.
As he was about to leave he noticed the Giants. They hadn't spotted him yet but it wouldn't take long knowing someone like Dan was in charge of them. It was wise to leave before the giantz noticed him. He was greatly outnumbered and also he had so business to take care. Tjad left the warehouse as quietly as possible heading for Millenion. He needed a firm talk with Harry.

OOC: The part where Harry and Big Daddy meet will probably be a bit different from in the anime partly because its been awhile since I saw the anime and don't remember exactly how it happened and also a few things happened differently here.
IC:
"No! No! No! He slipped right past you!"
"Garble nuk?" one of the giants said looking around
"You stay right here, I won't let him escape!" Shadow said to Brandon. Once again she transformed sprouting dorsal fins, a tale and some tentacles.
Tjad was running away as fast as he could, he needed to get back to the Mellenion building. Suddenly he heard the sound of what sounded like a rocket as something soared through the air above him. Shadow Dokuko landed right in the middle of the road causing the pavement to crack under her feet. She looked around for Tjad, she couldn't exactly see him but was detecting the energy field his suit was giving off.
Back at Millenion
Today Harry had an unexpected guest in his office it was Big Daddy, the former boss of Millenion.
"Well if it isn't Big Daddy, so why have you decided to honer me with your presence here today?" he asked.
The old man pulled out a gun and pointed it at Harry.
"You aren't planning to shoot me are you?" Harry said with a smile.
"I certainly intend to try." the old man responded.
"You shouldn't, it won't work, there's no need for there to be any bad blood between us, it'd be a waste for me to just get rid of a man with your talents."
Big Daddy looked at Harry with interest , he seemed strangely confident in this situation, even for Harry McDowel. Did he have some hidden ace up his sleeve?
Harry opened a cabinet and took out a bottle of Bourbon pouring two glasses "Care for a drink?"
"No, I'm a whiskey man myself. Bourbons only a derivitive of whiskey, never touch the stuff." Harry had a displeased look on his face.
"Is that so? I know what your trying to say, your the true boss of Mellenion and I'm only a derivitive, a cheap knock off of the real thing is that it?"
"Harry, one of the reasons I came here today was to tell you about Brandon. He knew.... he knew about all your secrets, he knew about the funds you embezzeled when you were working under me. He even knew that you had the man I had chosen to be my successor assassinated. But he never said anything, he thought you would become the next boss of Mellenion. He thought you would make a good leader. Harry, it's not to late, I've been hearing some unpleasant rumors about where your taking the organization. But it's not to late to do the right thing." Harry remembered when he had killed Brandon on the elevator, when he told Brandon of his plan his freind had pulled a gun on him, but he couldn't bring himself to shoot Harry. As soon as Brandon had lowered his weapon harry killed him.
"Shut up! Brandon knew the whole time?! Don't fuck around with me old man! Your nothing but a hipocrate!" Harry pulled out his gun and shot Big Daddy repeatedly! The old man crumpled to the ground as he died. "I'm only a derivitive of the real thing eh? I'll show you! I'll erase every trace of your existence!" he shouted as he continued shooting him, he kept on pulling the trigger even after the gun had run out of ammo.
Somewhere else
Dr. Gaylord lead Gmr to his lab he walked over to what looked like a container simialer to those used to culture bacteria, but instead this was full of a strange greyish liquid. "No need to worry, this will be as simple as taking a shot." He took some of the liquid into a syringe and took Gmrs arm injecting it inside. Gmr felt a sharp pain but that went a way pretty quickly.
"These nanites should correct anything wrong with your body, you can expect your eyesight to return sometime within the next hour or so."

''Shit he's too fast''
Tjad raised a Y-Gun but stopped has he noticed the bystanders. If they were to fight here all hell would brake loose.
''No, not another time''
Tjad retreated his Y-Gun and entered an alleyway. He had to shake him. But Tjad knew Dan would be too fast. Eventually he'd have to fight him. No. Not with all these people around. But he'd kill him.
''Fuck it. I'm dead anyway. I vow not to risk anyone's lives human or alien. From now on I'll begin with paying back my debt to humans and aliens. I'll put my life on the line to protect others... I'm sorry Suzuka.''

Since JPimpin had nothing to really do between missions so he spent most of his time in the ninja village training himself in case Pavarti were to show up. For once in his life he trained seriously. He wanted to get back at her so bad. Whenever he wasn't training he was trying to find some information on Pavarti and Indra. One day JPimpin decided to head to the Millenion building in hopes of gaining more info. When he reached the building in stealth mode insted of going through the front door he climbed up the side of the building thinking that starting from the top was a lot easier. Once on the room he entered through an open window and started his covert operation.

When Jpimpin came in through the window he began to move around all sneaky like a ninja which made sense since he was a ninja. He moved behind a waste can looking around whjen someone tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to see Asuka, who also happened to be in stealth mode.
"Oh it's you....what was your name again?" she asked.
"Jpimpin..." he said a little dissapointed that she didn't remember his name. "What are you doing here?"
"Well since Electra died I didn't have anything else so I decided to take Harry up on his offer to be his bodyguard. Why did you just come in through the window?"
"I thought scaling the building would be less trouble then walking in through the front door."
"O...K..."
It was then that they heard several gunshots coming from Harries room. Jpimpin was about to go check it out when Asuka stepped in front of him. "You can't go in there. Harry instructed me to only let authorized personel inside."
"But there were gunshots, aren't you his bodyguard?"
"Harrys wearing his gantz suit, I was instructed only to enter the room if he's attacked by someone whose an actual threat. A hand gun won't be able to penetrate his suit, he should be able to handle this on his own."
As the two of them talked in stealth mode several men rushed past them carrying a bodybag, presumably to smuggle the body of whoever attacked Harry out of the building. They were followed by a very chubby man. This was Bob Poundmax, one of Harrys executives.
Elsewhere
Tjad had stopped in an alleyway, from the looks of things no one had followed him back here. Suddenly something fell from the top of one of the nearby buildings landed in front of him. Just as he had expected, it wouldn't be so easy to run away. Shadow Dokuko looked in his general direction and the pods on two of her tentacles opened up firing a number of metal barbs as Tjads feet. These emitted a burst of electricla energy disrupting his stealth field.
"I don't believe it, I never imagined that you, the person who I've been looking for so hard for more then a month would come to me." she said as a large grin spread across her face.
"Dan listen..."
"Oh I see, you heard enough of our conversation to know who I am. Good that simplifys things." Tjad began to make a move but the tentacles that had fired the electric barbs were now trained to fire on him.
"Don't move! There's only one reason why I've been looking for you. I want to know what happened to Dokuko. Since I'm in this form I can assume she somehow found a way to save me. In the past even if we went far away from each other we seemed to be able to sense each others presence. I'm not sure how or why that occurred, but since I came back I can longer sense her. What I want to know is what exactly happened to Dokuko. What I do with you after you tell me will depend entirely on your answer."

Tjad was completely overthrown by what Dan had asked him. Tjad was sure of it he would want revenge. But he was smart enough to ask questions. He wasnt filled with hate. Tjad lowered his shoulders.
''After you..'' Tjad paused a minute choosing his words carefully. He wanted to say died. But it didn't feel right to say that since he was the one responsible for it.''...were immobilized. Dokuko assimilated you. After that she went crazy. I realized how wrong I was. I didn't want to fight her anymore. But she'd lost it. Then... Out of nowhere. Indra got her. I took Indra on and hopefully killed him but I'm not sure of that. But... Even though there was no trace left of Dokukko we didn't get any points. She must be alive. I searched for her without a trace. I guess you're Dokukko now. I'm not trying to make excuses. I was wrong. I was blinded by greed and arrogance. But... No more.'' Tjad balled his hands in to fist. A tear dropped from his eyes as he wiped his nose.''I won't spill no more blood. No more...''
Tjad raised an X-Gun to his head. He looked at Dan with a look of asking for forgiveness before he pulled the trigger...........................Nothing happened. He still had his suit to protect him. He merely dropped the gun and sat down on the ground just staring in front of him. going through everything that happened to him since the day he came to Gantz. From the first mission to the last. How he had changed. How he spilled blood. How... How he let his chance of being free or bringing Suzuka back pass by.

"Look I'm not here to start anything, I just wanna get some info on Pavarti and Indra and I'm gone." JPimpin figured she would just let him do that but something in the back of his head said otherwise. "Now I'm gonna go look around and I'll try not to mess with anything or damage something important, so I'll probably see you next mission." JPimpin turnt away and started walking while waving his hand above his head as a farewell sign. He went through a door that seemed to have lead him into a room with a couple of computers and desks. "Info jackpot." JPimpin smiled at his great find and started searching the computer's files for anything useful.
"File, file, picture, file, report, German schiza video........eww, picture," He was interupted by the sound of footsteps closing in on him. He quickly restored everythng to what it once was and ran behind a wall. He sighed and wiped a little sweat off his brow, he evaded detection for now that was until he looked on his other side. A secretary was making coffee right next to him. JPimpin covered his mouth with both his hands trying not to alert anyone. Slowly he made his way back to the room in which he had entered since nobody really was in there besides Asuka, who he could somewhat trust.

Shadow Dokuko looked at Tjad for a moment, all his biological signs indicated he was telling the truth. As soon as Tjad dropped his gun she kicked it away and cracked her tale against him like a whip sending him flying against a nearby wall with enough force to shatter it.
"I'm not entirely sure why, but the thought of you killing yourself after all this pisses me off. There's no debating that I would be better off if you died and I simply assimalated your weapon, so why is that I feel that way?" She appeared next to Tjad and lifted him into the air with her fingers clamped down around his neck like a vice. Her skin seemed to secrete Dokukos toxin and it burned into Tjads skin despite the suit. He didn't try to stop her. She tossed him in the air but before he hit the ground she kicked him sending him flying about thirty feet.
"Even if it's you, killing someone that refuses to fight back just doesn't feel right..." One of her tentacles Wrapped around his neck penning him against a wall, several more tentacles shot out each one forming a blade that pierced Tjads hands and feet crucifying him on the wall. "Why don't you say something? Your suits still functioning, you can destroy my tentacles! Fight back you bastard!"
"No...I won't fight anymore...kill me..." Shadow Dokuko frowned at this before cracking all her tentacles like whips sending Tjad flying into the other wall.
"Don't try telling me what to do!" She turned away going into stealth mode vanishing. Tjad waited awhile but nothing new happened, she had left without killing him.
Meanwhile
As Jpimpin left Bob Poundmax opened the door and looked around, ever since the doc had brought him back to life all his senses had been much sharper. He could have sworn he heard someone walking around in here.

JPimpin crouched in a corner and studied the big man who apperently heard something.
"Damn, did I make a noise?" he thought while still studying the man. Either JPimpin was losing his touch or that guy isn't human. "I wonder who he is, I guess I'll go find Asuka and ask her but I gotta get him away." He looked around for something to throw. JPimpin rummaged through his pockets and found a gum wrapper. He balled up and threw it behind the large man. With a stroke of luck the man turned and JPimpin rolled across the room and went through another door.

Tjad fell to the ground when Dokukko left him. His hands and feet were bleeding and he wasn't able to put any strength on them. He couldn't stand up. He didn't want to either. All he did was lay there.
''Was I that pathetic? Not even worth to kill? Maybe this is my punishment. Living alone in the world where demons surround all the time. I... lost it. Lost my spirit. Lost my essence. What.... What I told GmR was wrong... Never. Never lost the will to care. Lied... Lied to justify. Yes... we all do it. lie... believe... justify.'' A smile run across Tjad's face at his last thought. ''I guess... Not so far gone... Not... so far'' With these last thoughts Tjad lost consciousness because of blood loss.

Shadow Dokuko returned looking kind of pissed off. Brandon didn't say anything. She walked over behind some crates where no one was and looked in a puddle seeing the face that for the most part resembled Dokukos in the reflection. "So the reason I could never find you was because you were here the whole time. Everything thats left of you was already here." The person Dan had fought with, played with and even made love to no longer existed as an independent person. They were both the same person now. "Always trying to play the hero, you didn't need to give up your body for me..." Dan had gone down fighting against Tjad to save her, this wasn't what he had wanted. "But I guess what's been done can't be taken back can it? All we can do now is go foreward isn't that right Dokuko?" Shadow Dokuko stood up and walked back over to where Brandon was.
"I've decided to help you go after Harry, but you can't do that if you can't go near him."
"You said you had a way to fix that."
"Maybe, I don't know for sure but its worth a try, give me your hand." Brandon held out his hand and Shadow touched it, nanites began to crawl out of her hand and go into Brandons. "You said earlier that one of Indras brothers was assimalated by something simialar to me in my last mission. If it really is the same sort of creature that means my nanites are probably more advanced, I should be able to break down the defences in your body. But instead of consuming you I'll only disable the part of the programming that makes you subservient to them." She took her hand away as the nanites dissapeared into Brandon.
"Hmmm...your bodies own nanites are trying to resist mine. But their losing, it'll only be a matter of time now."
"Harrys lost his way, I need to confront him again."
"I take it you want to go find him as soon as you've been purged of the program. I wouldn't do that just yet."
"It's something I must do."
"We will, but I don't want to rush into a fight without knowing the full situation. I did that all the time in gantz and it sucked, I have no intention of doing that again. With your skills and my power we could win if it was just a team of gantzers we were going against. But from what you've told me Indra and his buddies might show up to protect Harry. I only saw one of them fight, but if the other five are of comparable power it'll mean that we would be going up against six people who are as strong as me, possibly stronger. Damn I wish I had taken Tjads weapon when I had the chance..."
"It doesn't matter, this is something that must be done." Brandon said calmly.
"Your a stubborn bastard. Fine I'll go along with you, but these guys won't be helping us." she said motioning to the giants. "This isn't their fight, and even if it was an accident I did kill some of their freinds. It'll just be you and me against the world! You might die so if there's anything you want to do before then you might want to do it."
Brandon thought and the face of the girl who had been freinds with him since childhood appeared in his mind. "Mariah." yes he should go see her before he confronted Harry again. "What about you? Is there anything you want to do?"
"Me? Well I've already done alot of things I never thought would even be possible, I destroyed the McDonalds franchise in tokyo, made out with a girl with tentacles, made out with myself as a girl with tentacles, became a leader of a bunch of freaky giants, and I also drew a bunch of stupid shit on peoples faces while I was invisible. I would also like to start my own country and populate it with cloned dinosaurs, but that'd take to long so I think I'm good to go. Lets just meet back here when your ready to do this."
Brandon didn't say anything and just nodded as he stood up. When he had last seen Mariah she was pregnant with Big Daddys baby. Her relationship with the former boss of Millenion had been a bit odd, at first when Brandon and Harry had first come into Millenion he had adopted her as his daughter. But over the years their relationship had changed to something different. Harry had known that Brandon had been attracted to Mariah ever since they were kids and had been upset when he had found out about them. But it never seemed to bother Brandon himself, this was something Harry had never understood about his freind. Big Daddy had also been like a father to Brandon, he didn't want to get to close to Mariah, after all the people he killed and the constant danger he was in, he didn't deserve to be with her, it was for the best that she was with Big Daddy.
Back at the millenion building
Harry had just finished witht he cleanup of Big Daddys corpse when he heard a familiar voice.
"Haaaaaaaaarrryyyy......watcha doin?" Maya was sitting in his chair twirling around in circles.
"What the hell? Maya? Whats the meaning of this?"
"Since you made your breakthrough and disabled the mechanism in your head, Shiva doesn't think there's much point in only coming to you in your dreams." The little girl said as she played with things on his desk.
"But some of the other gantzers are here! What if they see you?"
"I'm the master of illusion and telepathy, if any of them walk into this room, the only thing they will see is you sitting at your desk signing papers." Just then someone came in the room to hand in some reports to Harry, it was one of his secreteries. She began to talk to a non existant Harry at his desk ignoring the real one. Eventually she finished up and left.
"Ok....but ehy are you here?"
"Remember your freind Brandon?"
"How could I forget, that names been coming up alot today."
"Well we have a teensy weensy problem. You know how my big brother brought him back to life and made him a deathwalker?"
"Yes, are you going anywhere with this?"
"I think we lost control of him."
" WHAT?!?"
"Hehehe...your face looks funny when your mad."
"Aren't you going to go get him back under control then?"
"Nope!"
"Why?"
"Shivas pretty happy about the breakthrough you made, we might be able to reproduce more regularly now. But he wants to see what you made in action. We know that including yourself, four people have been infected with the new strain of nanite. Bob Poundmax, that guy I forget the name of who always is losing his nose and Dr. Gaylord."
"The doctor? I wasn't aware of that."
"He was the first one who took it. You shouldn't trust him too much, he's sneaky like a sneaky snakey sneak! But before that, why don't you send one of your subordinates after your old freind, maybe Bob or that other guy should do, he may be skilled but he's only a regular deathwalker, One of our kind should be able to destroy him easily."
"Hmmmm...that might not be a bad idea, I know Brandon beeter then anyone else, I know all the places he would be likely to visit."
"Good, I'll be waiting to see what you have in mind." Maya then vanished leaving a bewildered harry.

Tjad woke up seeing two men standin over him talking. As he turned his head to the two they noticed.
''Aah, good your awake we...'' One of the men started but was interrupted by a woman standing next to Tjad's other side.
''There won't be any interrogation at this time. He needs to rest.''
''But...''
''No buts. He's my patient and he's my responsibility. Now I would like you two to leave.''
Tjad looked on but couldn't follow much of it. He was feeling very weak and couldn't exactly remember what happened. The woman turned to him and started checking his pulse. Not looking at him she began to speak.
''That's quite few bruises you got there. Got in to a fight?''
''I... uhh... bumped my head.''
''That must've been quite a bump to pierce your hands and feet.''
''ahh'' Tjad remembered what happened again. He looked at his hands that were bandaged. He raised them but it hurt alot.
''Ho, ho. You won't be able to use your hands for a couple of days or the bleeding will start again.'' The woman looked at him.
''I... uhh''
''Don't worry. I'm not a police officer. I'm your nurse.''
Suddenly it struck Tjad that his suit was gone. He was wearing a patient clothes and they'd took out his suit.
''My suit.''
''Suit? Oh you mean that cosplay outfit?''
''Yes, where is it.''
''You know you're way too old to play dress up.''
''The suit!! Where is it.'' Tjad said annoyed while getting out of his bed ignoring the pain in his limbs. But as soon as he stood up he fell right on the ground. His feet were still much to weak to stand on.
''Here I'll help you up.'' The woman helped him up and pointed to a closet.
''It's in there.''
''Thank you''
''I'll be going to now. But i'll come check up on you after awhile.'' As the woman turned around to leave Tjad spoke.
''How long was I out?''
''6 hours''
Tjad turned his head towards the window and saw that it was already dark. When he looked back the woman was already gone. He had to get out of here before those cops came back. He couldn't be interrogated. There was no logic story. At least not for them.
''Dammit. I need a cane of some sorts.''

An hour came and went which felt like ages to GmR. His eyes began to widen as his vision returned. However just as a grin began to form he passed out uttering,"I can finally see...but im exhausted."

"Whew that was close, again." JPimpin looked around in the newly entered room. It looked like a high security room and no one else was around. He deactivated his stealth since he didn't need it at the moment. He walked around a bit studying his surroundings. "Never been in here before." He thought to himself while searching for a computer. When he finally found one he started searching it's files.
"Ok let's see what disgusting suprises you have for me." after a little snooping his search for info still didn't give any results. "If the computers don't have the info then I gotta find somebody who does." JPimpin sat on a desk thinking of the possible people who would know something. He thought back to when he first visited this building. He recalled Tjad and GmR knowing something but not Dr.Gaylord, Harry also knew something. "That's where my prizes lies, in Harry." JPimpin jumped up off the desk, engaged his stealth, and headed for Harry's room.

Tjad waited until the visitors all had left. The nurse came to check up on him for the last time after she went home. When all the ligts were out and he couldn' here anything anymore he came out his bed. Not being able to stand Tjad crawled over to the closet where he found his suit. As he tried to put it on it wouldn't fit because of the bandages around his hand and feet. He decides to take them off. That was for the first tim he saw how big the wounds were. He put the suit on and luckily they had left his controller with the suit. he turns to stealth mode and crystalizes a a cane about his own height which he uses to stand with.
''This should work''
His feet hurt and his hands couldn't hold the cane as tight as possible. Tjad proceeds to the window. For a minute he wonders how he was going to get down. He puts the cane out the window and streches it to ground level. Then he gives it pushes in to the pavement to hold it still. Tjad then comfortably slides down to the ground. Then he proceeds on his path. He was heading for Dan. Of all the parties involved he was the only one with honor. Even though he probably would kill him. He still needed to try it. But this time he would fight back if he was attacked. Even though Tjad had lost all his weapons. He could still use the Carbon Manipulator even though he didn't know how he would defeat Dan with only that.
Tjad walks on and on using the controller as his guide. He wounds on his feet had opened again and were bleeding freely. Also his hands were sore also. Once arrived at the warehouse he loses his balance falls to the ground with his face in the dust.
''uggghh. Made it....''

When Tjad arrived at the wearhouse he hobbled inside still in stealth mode. Just as before the giants were all sitting around a computer watching some huge movie file download on dialup internet. The little green kid was also there he was holding a softball and seemed to be pestering an annoyed looking giant to play with him even offering him a green onion.
But the person Tjad was looking for didn't seem to be there. Brandon was also gone, where were they?
In the Millenion building
Once Again asuka who was also in stealth blocked his pathway. "You again? I told you before you can't go in there." Although she didn't particulalry like Harry considering the fact that he was responsible for her death she was working for him right now and she always took her job very seriously.
However before anything else could happen Bunji, one of Harrys four executives opened the door. "Harry, the targets been located."
"Good, in that case I'll be leaving with you as well. I would like to see Brandon one last time before the end." Harry said as he exited the room following Bunji. Harry decided it would be best to use Bob first, if he used Gmr right off the bat he could have all the gantzers turn against him. They were nearing the end of their usefulness, but he planned to get rid of them on his own terms sometime before the next mission.
Brandons location
Mariah sat alone on the patio of Big Daddies manshion crying. When she had heard a rumor that Harry, the man who had been a freind to both her and Brandon since they were kids had killed him she had gone to shoot Harry herself, but Big Daddy had stopped her outside the building and went in her place. He wasn't back yet, he was probably dead by now.
Thunder sounded in the sky as it began to rain, she was about to go inside, but then she noticed him. Standing in the middle of her lawn like a statue was a tall figure wearing a dark coat whose eyes shone like those of a cat, his pale hair was drenched witrh water from the rain. It took her moment to realise who the intimidating figure was.
"Brandon..." she said falling to her knees looking like she had just seen a ghost.

´´Huh? he ain't come for me yet?''
Tjad comes out of Stealth and drags his body towards the entrance. There he rips the front door open making the bleeding in his left hand start again.
''DAN!!!!''

As soon as Tjad shouted into the entrance every giant in the wearhouse looked at him and picked up their weapons ready to attack. However Dan was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile
"Brandon, you were supposed to be dead! How?" Mariah looked at him, he looked different now especially his hair and eyes. "Brandon, what happened to you?"
The usually silent Brandon had already forced himself to explain his situation once today. "It's a long story..." was all he said. He wasn't in gantz anymore, it should be ok to tell her what happened to him.
"Brandon, your soaking wet, come out of the rain!"
He noticed Mariah had put on some weight, she was pregnant.
"I shouldn't..." he began to say but she grabbed his hand.
"I won't take no for an answer!" she said leading him inside the house.
Brandon sat down on the couch getting the pillows wet.
"I thought you died Brandon, I heard Harry killed you..."
"He did...twice..." Mariah had a shocked look on her face.
"How is that possible?"
"I'm not entirely sure myself..."
Outside
A number of shiney black cars drove along the winding roads headed for Big Daddys mansion in the mountains. Before using Bob, Harry thought it might be interesting to see his standard Org men fight against Brandon. Aside from the fact that Brandon had free will, physically they were almost the same sort of creature. The orgmen had been used in secret to subdue several groups that were hostile towards Mellenion in secret. So far they had a 100% success rate since normal guns were pretty inneffective against them.
Would he be able to take on those sorts of numbers? The black cars all stopped in front of the mansion, what appeared to be a number of unusually pale men wearing business suits all stepped out of the car.

''Aah shit'' Tjad said to himself while panting heavily.''Wait, wait.'' he licks his lips and begins:''I come in peace. I just got a message for your boss. I'm not the enemy.''

Sevral giants walked around him, Tjad hadn't tried to attack and seemed to be trying to tell them something.
"Garbu!" one of the giants shouted raising its ax in the air.
"Raggruuu!" one of the other giants shouted, the two giants began to yell at each other in their strange language, they seemed to be having trouble deciding what to do since it looked like Tjad might not be attacking.
Tjad wasn't sure if this was such a good idea, they might not even be able to understand everything he says to them.
Mariah and Brandons location:
As the strange men finished exiting their vehicles they all pointed their guns at the manshion.
Brandon had gotten about halfway through his story when he realized that something was wrong. As they pulled their triggers brandon leapt in front of Mariah as he was pelted with bullets. Fortunatly although they were capable of handling more powerful weapons it looked like the standard armament was regular guns which Brandon was pretty good at taking the damage of. As Mariah crawled to safety Brandon turned around and pulled out his two special guns and began blasting away, with each bullet a huge chunk was blasted from each orgmans body. One slug hit an orgmans head causing it to explode, each shot was right on the mark hitting a vital organ.
Suddenly the remaining orgmen all growled as their bodies expanded growing about twice as large bulging with mucles, their arms all seemed to change into some sort of weird cannons. Two of them aimed into the house and fired, strange fireballs began to shoot out of their weird arm cannons ripping through Mariahs mansion. As Brandon tried to sheild Mariah fromt he debris he noticed a shite clow like a miniature sun shooting out of the sky. It hit one of the orgmen, its bodys midesction was vaporized and the one responsible for the action now stood in the middle of a molten crater int he ground. Shadow Dokukos hand crackled with white hot plasma flames, the armor around that hand was a different color simialer to the material that composed the giants ax she had assimalated earlier.
"I thought something interesting might happen if I followed you!"
"What are those? Who is that?" Mariah asked as Brandon got her into another room.
One of the orgmen lifted up a boulder throwing it at Shdow Dokuko. She swung her tale full speed shattering the boulder in mid air before running straight at the orgman and ramming her hand through its body. She gripped onto its spinal cord and ripped it straight out of the org man sto9mach spraying her naked body red with blood and bits and pieces of internal organs. Another orgman came up behind her ready to attack. Shadow swung the spinal cord beating it over the head with it, the spine came apart, a pice of vertibrae lodged in the orgmans skull. It was then that she was pelted from all directions by bullets and fireballs.
"Shit, they don't let up! But they'll have to do better then that!"
As the smoke cleared they seemed to have finnally done a little dmage, her force field was no longer functioning after that barrge, but it didn't matter, this body was strong enough to withstand anything they threw. Her dorsal fins glowed white hot turning all the water in the area to steam as she prepared to counter attack.
Brandon and Mariah went out the back door, waiting for them on the otherside wasa group of ten Orgmen. Brandon lifted the huge object resembling a styalized coffin from his shoulder, it ccame apart revealing the barrel of a huge gun. He squeezed the trigger and a storm of rail gun slugs cut through the rain soaked air turning the group of ten org men into paste.
Further away
Harry road in his limo along with his four subordinates, Bob, Bunji, Bear and Ballad Bird Lee were all there.
"Brandon...I can't believe he's still alive." Bear remarked seeming a bit nostalgic.
"Who cares if he's alive. He's a traitor, he broke the code of iron and now he needs to die." Ballad Bird Lee said unsympathtically.
"I'm aware of that, I was just remembering the past." Bear had ben the one who had trained Brandon. He had never completely believed Harrys story of how Brandon betrayed the organization, but for his daughters sake he had followed Harry anyway.
Suddenly they saw an explosion of white light int he distance.
"What the hell was that?" Harry asked no one in particular. About 15 minutes later the car pulled up in front of what was left of the mansion. Shadow stood alone among a pile of charred corpses caked in suit and blood.
"Who the hell is that? Isn't Brandon supposed to be here?" Bunji asked.
If the rumors were true, Indra and company might show up to save harrys ass if this dragged on. She needed to end this quickly. "I'm afraid that you won't be meeting Brandon today. Care to see what a tv dinner feels like?" Lightning fast both her hands moved up pointing at the group of them, the microwave weapon she assimalated when fighting the potwatching aliens couldn't deal as much damage as some other attacks, but it charged much quicker. As she fired Bob knocked everyone out of the path of the weapon jumping in front of them, his fatty bulk sheilding the group. The microwave attack his him, his hair and his huge body sizzled from the attack as clouds of steam came from his flesh, however he was still standing.
"But we came all this way to see Brandon. won't you show us where he is?" Bob asked.
"What the hell?" Bob gave off the same sort of feeling as Brandon and the org men, but something was different about him.

''Shit they can't even understand what I'm saying.''
Tjad knew he had to visualize what he was trying to say. Watching the the giants argue gave him an idea. Tjad used his Carbon Manipulator to make a real life statue of himself and one of the giants shaking hands. That should make it clear.

"What the hell is that? Its not one of our orgmen." Ballad Bird Lee asked as he got up.
"Don't worry about her. From the looks of it Brandon may have given us the slip, Bob could you take care of this?" Harry said to his large freind.
"Ok!"
"You think you can? You may be different from the others, but unless your in another class altogether your going to die right now!" Shadow Dokukos Fins all glowed white hot. At the same time Bob grunted and his body seemed to expand about three times its original size into a huge bloated monstrous form with glowing red eyes.
"Holy shit your ugly as hell! Well this'll make you alot prettier!" She aimed both hands foreward and fired two jets of white hot flame engulfing Bobs body. She could only fire at maximum output for a short time before burning out so she had to stop after a few seconds. As the smoke cleared a large form was still visible, Shadow had hoped to completely vaporize him with the blast.Bobs flesh was smoldering and melting off his body but he was still standing, his flesh was rapidly regenerating.
"I see, he can alter the nature of his molecular structure, if only I could fire it for a longer period of time it would have worked."
"That's not nice little girl! You sizzled my fat! You should look out for fat, it can kill you!" Bob said as he pulled a lump of his own flesh off his gut and hurled it at her. Shadow barely had time to react as it landed in front of her exploding with enough force to send her flying into the air and crashing down in front of the mansion.
"Brandons not here anymore, we should go now, Bob after you finsih up here meet us back at the Millenion building." Harry said turning away and heading back for the limo. Bob nodded before charging foreward, Shadow got to her feet in time to brace her self as the huge juggernaut of fat came barrling against her much smaller body plowing her through the front door and wall of Big Daddies mansion Suddenly several lumps of his flesh changed shape before Shadow could comprehend what he was doing about five missiles formed of his own flesh shot out of his gut nailing her and sending her flyting across the room. The mansion erupted into a huge explosion as she was sent flying through all the rooms and out the back wall. Shadow landed with a thud on her back, one of her arms had been blown off in the attack.
"No, gotta get it together, he's strong, but unlike me he still has retained his original brain structure, if I can destroy his brain its all over for him!" She remembered that huge rail gun Brandon had been carrying around, such a weapon would be ideal for taking Bob down, but from the looks of things Brandon had escaped with Mariah. Shadow held out one hand and a gantz sword formed in it. But this sword was different it had the combined properties of one of the alien weapons she had assimalated. Plasma fire came around it giving the appearance of a gleaming lightsaber. As she did this she could here what sounded like the whir of helicopter blades. Bob was hovering over the flaming house, a huge propellor had grown out of his back.
"D...damn....that's just freaky looking..." Bob lobbed several more chunks of his flesh at her, each one exploded as it hit the ground forcing Shadow to dodge. Her dorasal fins glowed white as the grass around her caught fire and she rocketed intot he air swinging the extending katana aiming for Bobs head. Bob raised both arms to black. The blade made contact, even as he hardened his flesh the plasma fire was eating through it. It wouldn't be long now, right as the blade made it through his arms another missile shot out knocking her back to the ground. Bob landed with a huge thud as both his arms grew back nearly instantaniously. he walked over to her "Well I don't know who or what you are. But its all over now!" he reached down picking her up off the ground by her hair.
"Your right....all over for you that is!" Nanites were crawling out of her skin and covering Bobs hand, slowly they began to creep up his arm. "Your strong, but you were carelous in touching me, hopefully I won't get as fugly as you after you've been devoured by me!"
"Rrgghhh!" Bob Ripped his own arm off and flew into the sky right as that arm self destructed with a loud bang. After hovering for a moment he flew back down, he'd packed alot of power into that explosion, hopefully it worked. In the middle of a crater was a headless body, both its arms were gone too. Any normal creature would have been completely vaporized by that attack, whatever that creature had been it was strong, but there was no coming back from losing your head.
Bob hovered back intot he sky and began to fly away thinking his job was done
Meanwhile
Brandon didn't know how long he'd been running carrying Mariah on his back, but from the looks of things no one was following them anymore.
"Brandon...Where are we going?"
"I know a place that should be safe. I'll take you there."
Back at thw wearhouse
"Garbunya!" The giants seemed to understand what Tjad was trying to say but they still looked a little wary of him. But before anything else could happen all their antennae glowed bluish and they all looked really suprised.
Most of the giants headed over for the door and were about to leave.
"Wait! What's going on?"
"Morg noog! Whak nurk pok!" the giant bent over and drew a stick figure that seemed to have tentacles coming out of its body but no head.

''îs there something with Dan?''
They probably going to help him. But if something could beat Dan he would easily kill these guys. They wouldn't stand a chance. Also Tjad knew this wasn't the end for Dan. He survived worse than that. But how was he going to make them understand that.
''Wait!!''
Tjad used his last statue and turned it to a statue of Dan without head. Then he slowly materiaziled his head on the body.

The giants seemed to have some understanding of what he was trying to say. After talking among themselves for about ten minutes they decided to stay put and they all sat down staring at Tjad and the door without saying anything.
About half an hour later
This was getting extremely uncomfortable, all these guys were doing was watching him and the door.
"Too slow! Need come back faster!"
"Slow! Slow is bad!" several giants suddenly protested breaking the silence.
Back by the house
The headless body suddenly sat up about half an hour after Bob left, the arm stumps seemed to slowly be growing back. The body began to look around the area for something.
"Over here! What are you blind?" a voice called from inside some nearby bushes. Several tentacles came out of the bodies back reaching into the bushes and pulling out a severed head. It place the head back on the stump of its neck where the flesh fused together. She looked at the stumps where her arms used to be"Aww man, I'm still disarmed....Hehehe ,now that was just bad...guess I ought to head back." Her antennae glowed blue.
Back at the wearhouse
The giants antennae all glowed and they seemed to settle down as soon as this happened.
After about another hour of waiting
The door to the wearhouse opened, but it wasn't who Tjad was expecting. It was Brandon carrying a blond pregnant girl on his back.

''Brandon?''
For a minute Tjad stared at Brandon. Seeing someone rise twice from the dead in such a state wasn't something you saw everyday. But this wasn't the time to be staring.
''Who's that? And where's Dan?''
