OOC: This storyline will directly relate to what happens in mission 12, anyone from room 4 can participate here whether your involved in this storyline or not.
IC:
Inside Shadows hide out
Tori hadn't yet returned which worried Shadow, but she had no time to just sit around. Whether Tori got back or not, she needed to carry out her plan. There were two Kiras now, there was a good chance one of them was Light Yagami but thanks to L she couldn't touch him. She needed to find the second Kira before L and before Millenion. If she could do that she would win. The mini version of Shadow had grown to full size by the time the mission ended.
"There's two of you again. What are you going to do now?" Sayura asked.
"One of me will be going to America, I'll need to be there once I obtain Kiras power. The other me will be staying here."
At the hotel
Sakura and Jack both left pretty quickly followed by Asuka. She turned to Junior "You teleported in before me again. Your my weapon, but somehow I get the feeling your keeping things from me."
The metallic insect stayed silent as it floated next to her
Three hours later at the house of Misa Amane
A cute blond girl with pigtails sat on her bed "Rem, why do you think Kira has a weapon like you? Or does he just have the eyes?"
"I can't really say." a bleach white bony humanoid creature said sitting next to her bed. "Misa do you know why gantz just doesn't give out these powerful weapons to everyone?"
"Uhhh...because...err...Misa Misa isn't sure!"
"Rem smiled "There are two reasons. One is it provides motivation for the players to get more kills. The other is that weapons like myself are still experimental , we might not behave how gantz expects us. I'm not aware of gantz making any other weapons simialer to myself, but it is a possibility."
Just as they were getting done with their conversation Misa heard her door ring, she jumped off her bed running over to answer it. it had begun to rain outside. Standing outside the door was a woman wearing a gantz suit but it wasn't anyone Misa recognized. Sakura had teleported into gantz wearing nothing but her underwear so she had nothing to change into.
"Uhhh hello? Does Misa know you?"
"Are you Kira?" Sakura asked, Junior had told her of two Kiras , this one was supposed to be the newer one. sakura had been killed by Kira and wanted nothing more then to see them both dead however
"If you do as I say, and this alien is eradicated, gantz will reward you with two powerful weapons." was what Junior had told her Sakura didn't know this, but it seemed Gantz was getting desperate, making even more extravagant promises then he had to Light, Jack and the others when he sent them after Shadow last time.
As soon as Sakura said this Misa looked a little worried "Who are you? Are you Kira?" Misas first thought was that Sakura was the first Kira who had somehow sought her out.
"No Misa, that's not Kira." Rem said coming up behind her.
"If this isn't Kira, then..." Misa started to use her weapon, she couldn't let this person find out about her.
"That won't work Misa, this girl is no longer human. But I don't think she's an enemy."
"How do you know Rem?"
"Gantz told me."
"W-well if your not an enemy why don't you come in." Sakura frowned, had Misa just tried to kill her? When this was over she'd snap that blonde bitches neck!

Toriyuki arrived home late with Old Man Pika in her arms. She still had tears in her eyes and she was lucky that her parents both worked late so she was able to get inside without 'parental questioning'. She couldn't help but, wonder why Shadow hadn't arrived on the scene like usual. Had Shadow forgotten about them? Maybe, if she was there Kazou would have lived and Tori wouldn't feel the way she did.
"Shadow?" Tori called out and she looked down to Old Man Pika,"Do you think she's here?"

East Tokyo
Ryou carefully turned the key to him home to unlock the door. With the creek the door opened and Ryou stepped in the dark room. As he got up to the bedroom he saw his wife was already sleeping. Before he joined her he took off his suit. Not knowing a good place to hide it he shoved it under the bed, next to three or four porn magazines which had been lying there for quite a while. Carefully he crept in bed.
''Where were you'' She said before he had even lied down.
Not being able to come up with a credible lie at this moment Ryou softly kissed her neck as massaged her thigh.
''Love you'' he whispered in her ear.
Too deep in sleep Aija was unable to resist and surrendered and went back to sleep. Ryou also fell asleep like a baby. ----------------- South Tokyo
A figure seemingly looking like a man but bearing wings lands upon a building top. His blond hair visible in the dark and his hazel eyes reflecting in the light. His black slacks and black bodywarmer are barely visible in the dark. His wings seem to retract in his back with crack.
''The southern project of Tokuo...'' He muttered almost letting out a sigh.
Byrd looked down at the streets. Even though it was well over midnight the streets were still crowded.
''There's no reason i can't have a little fun now can I.'' He said to himself smiling as he eagerly walked down the stairs of the building not wanting to attract too much attention too soon.

"Damn it, where's Tori?" Tori hadn't gotten back yet which Shadow was worried about. After Lee and Aiko had attacked them at Toris house Shadow had told her to come back and meet her at this location but she wasn't there yet.
"She might be dead." Sayura said as she leaned against the wall.
"I'm going out."
Awhile later
Shadow landed nearby the hotel that Gantz was inside of sniffing the air, it was faint but she could smell Tori, and more obviously old Man Pika who had a strange odor. "Good...it looks like you did survive..." but the direction her scent was heading, it was going back to her house! "Shit! Tori what the hell are you thinking!?" Shadow said unfolding her wings heading in in the direction of Toris house. As Shadow flew through the night sky in stealth mode unknown to her she flew past the area of Tokyo Byrd was currently in. Although she was in stealth mode, that wouldnt be enough to fool his vision.
At Toris house
"Shadow?" Tori called out and she looked down to Old Man Pika,"Do you think she's here?"
"I don't know. But I kind of get the feeling were being watched."
Outside in a van a couple agents from Millenion were eating cup ramen.
" Looks like we hit paydirt, I wasn't expecting her to be back this soon. Get Bunji on the line!"
Across town Bunji took out his cell phone , he hadn't expected his target to come back so soon either which is why he and Aiko weren't in the area. "What?! Aiko, looks like the rabbits come out of its hole. Lets roll!" he said. But something was wrong, Aiko was no longer in the kitten form she usually assumed when traveling with Bunji, she had reverted back to being a conglomeration of alien parts and sat in a corner clutching her head. "Aiko?"
"It hurts...it hurts...." she said clutching her head in pain something was wrong.
Somewhere else
The agents from Millenion weren't the only ones who had noticed Tori come home, due to what happened with Kazuo Tori had forgotten to be careful. L sat alone in the dark eating a candy bar. Tori had walked in late at night she seemed to be carrying what appeared to be some sort of stuffed animal and crying. What did this mean? Did that stuffed animal just move? Whatever it was, it seemed to be alive! Light Yagami and the other members of the SPK weren't here right now, he was the only one who had seen this. Should he inform the others? No not yet he would investigate this new angle on his own and then inform the others once he found out what was going on.. One way or another L had a feeling this would be important information and could give him an edge in his investigation.

South Tokyo
Byrd was in the middle of approximately five people. four girls and one guy. The girls all seem the enjoy his company unless who snickers at his blonde hair.
''...So I say:'What about him over there' and they all burst out laughing. Byrd didn't have much time to enjoy his company as he sensed something fly by at high speed. He knew it was one of the threats to the Southern Project and it had some distant relationship to Gantz. That was probably the reason he could sense it.
Without a second's hesitation, as if it were instinct, his wings lashed out and he flew in the air leaving a gust of wind for his former audience.
''wow... these pills really work'' one said as they all burst out laughing again.
Byrd was surprised at the speed his target was moving. He had never encountered something like it. Luckily its speed wasn't something Byrd couldn't handle. He arrived at its location a few second after it had stopped. Before attacking he decided to see what kind of target this was.
''Damn, its a girl'' was his first thought as he looked on from a nearby rooftop of a local home. -------------------
Aiko's location
Ugly little thing aren't you
''What?''
and not to smart either
''who are you?''
It's was lucky you swallowed that guy in or else I would've been lost. But damn there are a lot of people and aliens in here.
Aiko was starting to get scared.
ok bitch, let me out, yeah
"It hurts...it hurts...." she said clutching her head in pain something was wrong.
Oh yes yes yes. Finally, finally let me out let me out
Something seemed to make its way out of Aiko's body. After a few seconds of unimaginable pain there lay on the ground a formless being made of nothing but bits of flesh. But still it had a consciousness. Without a second's thought Bunji took out his gun and shot it to death.
(OOC: I didn't know exactly how Aiko would react or what Bunji would do so I did it a little simple. if there are things to be changed or added feel free to do so)

OOC: Oh shit, I sorta forgot I had so many people out to get me...meh seems more realistic neways... IC: Tori hadn't noticed L at all and she carried Old Man Pika into the bathroom and set him on the counter-top next to the sink. There she looked in the mirror at her eyes and noticed how horrible she looked. Despite the fact that she had been crying so much her eyes had bags under it and she looked pale and frail. She could have sworn she saw Old Man Pika cringe in fright and she smiled at him and rubbed the fur on the top of his head. They were family now so she could take an insult or two from him anyday. She turned and looked around in the bathroom and laid Kazou's sword and her X-rifle on the floor. Then for a moment she thought back to how she first met Kazou. She remembered how creepy he was even though she treated him like a normal person. She remembered him being a bit out of shape and he use to take intrest into weird things. Tori knew he was weird but, she wasn't to far from being weird herself. She fought aliens in a skin tight cos-play suit, barely had any friends and she talked to a naked girl with tentacles who use to actually be a guy. Toriyuki remembered what Kazou had gone through to get her to like him. She never could return his feelings but, she never told him how she had never had anyone do so much just to get her attention. Even if it was the wrong way to go about doing it. She still believed he was one of the kindest people she had ever met. A tear at that moment fell from Tori's eye and she looked back up at Old Man Pika,"I miss him so much..."

At some point Shadow became aware that someone was following her but pretended not to notice. She came down not to far away from Toris house "So, what is it this time? Whoever he is, he's sitting on a rooftop behind me, he thinks I don't notice. I should take him by suprise." He was too far away to hit with her fire. This might be a good opportunity to try out one of the abilities she got from the phoenix chimera. Shadow took several steps before whirling around with one hand pointed in his direction, as soon as she had done this a bolt of lightning shot out of her extended claws arcing towards Byrd who barely dove out of the way as it blew a hole in the houses rooftop.
She got a better look at him now, it was a blond guy with bird wings, she hadn't seen him before. "An angel? What the hell?"
Inside Toris house
Old Man Pika seemed to be having trouble crying too "I'm sorry, I was useless on the mission, I'm just a little coward who can't do anything." he cried along with Tori hugging her, but then both of them heard something that sounded like really loud thunder cracking outside which was the noise caused by Shadows lightning bolt.
Aikos location
"What the hell was that Aiko? I think I'm going to be sick!" Bunji backed away from the thing on the floor he had just shot.
"I don't know...it feels better now that its out though. Lets go."
"You sure? There isn't anything else like that inside trying to get out is there?"
"Lets go...I don't need any help!"
"Fine! Fine!"

''Angel? You'd wish''
Byrd didn't want to get into a close range battle just yet. He still had to figure out what his target was capable of. By being able to detect him alone his target had shown remarkable skillmanship. Byrd's left wing shot 300 spikes with an incredible speed, almost invisible for the untrained eye, at Shadow. By judging what he had seen earlier on Byrd was sure it would probably dodge its spikes so he readied his right wing to fire another barrage of spikes at any place his target was to run of too.
By now Byrd had found out what it relation to Gantz was. It had the power of The armor of the beast. One of his favorites.
(OOC: keep in mind that Byrd is 5 times as fast than any normal Gantzer)

Instead of running like Byrd thought she would Shadow raised her own wings bringing them around her body like a sheild. Hundreds of spikes rained down on her thundering against her own armored feathers. The entire area around her was obliterated by the barrage kicking up a cloud of dust. As the dust began to clear a white light became visible in the cloud as Shadow began to power up a jet of white hot fire using the smoke from Byrds attack to hide her own.
"Ok Mr. Angel hows about I show you what a demon can do!" Shadow said with a smile, a huge torrent of white fire shot towards Byrd , but he seemed to be one step ahead of her leaping over the fireball and kicking the back of Shadows head as he came down behind her.
""What the..." Shadow hadn't seen that coming, her tail cracking like a whip launched its spike heading for Byrds eye, but he had already moved out of the way grabbing it and swinging her through the air. Shadow was flung with enough force to crash through the side of the van that the two Millenion agents were inside of knocking the vehicle over.
"What the hells going on here, I can't seem to touch this guy!" it wasn't that Byrd was so much faster then shadow, in reality she actually had a slight edge over his speed, what made him so deadly was that he had over 2000 years of combat experience. Even though physically they were very close, the immesurable gap in experience put Shadow at a large disadvantage.
Byrd was smiling now, she'd wipe that grin off his face, even if there was an immesurable gap between their battle experience she had a wide arsenal of weapons that she could use against him "I won't lose to this guy..." three large boney claws emerged from between the fingers on both of Shadows hands, a glowing greenish light came around them as she prepared to attack. At that moment the door to the van opened and the two agents from Millenion assigned to watch Toris house scrambled out.
"Oh shit! Oh shit!" one of them saw Shadow and almost wet himself in fear thinking that she was about to attack them with those glowing claws. She had decloaked after coming to Toris house. Byrd was still cloaked, it was just that Shadow could detect people using gantz cloaking technology but these two couldn't see him.

''Interesting'' Byrd thought to himself as he saw Shadow's claws.
He had fought a tribe of aliens a long time ago. Their leader had a sword with the same glow around his sword. He remembered it so well because its sword had easily cut through his right arm. Another thing struck Byrd. Even though he was in a different frequency his target still seemed to know where he was. Lightning crackled around Byrd as he changed to normal frequency.
''We've played long enough. It's time to end this'' Byrd shouted over to Shadow.''For what it's worth I enjoyed our fight.'' He continued as he proceeded to put on his gloves. Its knuckles glowing red.
Byrd's speed wasn't as fast his target but it would be enough if he played his cards right. Without warning he dashed toward Shadow. He would if he had closed up on enough space change frequencies to confuse Shadow for a moment. Which would be enough to give her an uppercut to the chin sending her flying. At that time he'd absorb her power of the armor of the beast to shoot a fireball.
''Even she won't be able to survive a blast from point blank range'' he though to himself'.

Byrd moved in for his strike Shadow slashed at him with her claws but he was able to read her movements and as planned landed an uppercut sending her flying into the air, his fists were hot burning into her armor as he did so. As shadow flew through the air she noticed something unexpected, dorsal fins simialer to her own had emerged from his back as he was preparing to launch a fireball.
"You gotta be kidding me!" was all she got out before a huge white jet of flame blasted her as she landed. Once Byrd let up the entire area was scorched, the ground reduced to molten rock but suprisingly Shadow looked to be for the most part unharmed.
"That was close, I was almost barabeque back there." When she saw him powering up his attack she had changed the properties of her armor to match the material that composed the plasma ax she had absorbed from the potwatching aliens which was built withstand those sorts of temperatures. Byrd seemed to be staring at her pretty hard.
"What the hell are you looking at...oh shit I'm bald! You bastard! You burned my hair off! Now I look like Riply in alien 3!" Not just the hair on her head, he'd also burnt off all the hair on the other parts of her body too. "Gotta keep it together this guy wants me to get pissed off and lose my cool..."
"Your from gantz aren't you? You must be his second line of defense, I suspected that in the future I would need to deal with something stronger then the regular gantzers, but you showed up sooner then I expected."
While she was talking, she would launch a simialer attack to Byrds feather spikes using the phoenix's wing blades, then while he was recovering from that, she'd use her kinetic enhancers to boost her speed and hopefully get a hit on him with her claws. As she was talking Shadow unfolded her wings trying to not to give away what she was about to do.

"What the hell are you looking at...oh shit I'm bald! You bastard! You burned my hair off! Now I look like Riply in alien 3!"
Byrd couldn't help but to smile at the hairless body of his opponent showing one of his fangs.
"Your from gantz aren't you? You must be his second line of defense, I suspected that in the future I would need to deal with something stronger then the regular gantzers, but you showed up sooner then I expected."
A look of confusion and almost insult came on Byrd's face. He wasn't Gantz's defense. Gantz even had to answer to him.
''Hmm? I don't think you quite get it.'' Before he continued talking Byrd noticed Shadow's wing moving and his posture was different from normal conversation. Immediately reacting he materialized three Y-Gun nets heading for Shadow to lock him down and hold his wings from expanding. After which he'd use his powers of the X-Gun to blow his head off.

As the three Y-gun nets shot towards Shadow an aura of plasma fire came around her body burning through the cables. Immediatly Byrd followed up with several X-gun shots, but Shadows force field hadn't been weakened to the point that these could damage her yet.
"Oh? Your Gantz's superior?" Shadow said as the flames of plasma fire died down around her and she stepped out of the two molten holes she had left in the ground where her feet were. "What an honor, the one above the black ball came out just for me. That must mean I'm closer to my goal then I thought."
"And what would that be?"
"To become the strongest being on the planet, but to do that it looks like I'll need to defeat you first. However before that I'll repay you for telling me such important information by giving you some of my own, even if you defeat me here, I won't die."
Normally Shadow wouldn't be opposed to completely letting loose against this guy, but now that he had revealed his identity, she knew it wouldn't be a good idea to do it here. If Tori noticed them and came out there was a good chance this guy would either kill her or try to use her to his advantage. Shadow opened her wings again flying away before Tori could come out of her house to see what all the commotion was about.
Somewhere else
"L?" Captain Tachibana came in to check on him, but the eccentric detective was missing. The screen he had been watching from the surveilance was also turned off, what did this mean? "Give me L's location!" she said pulling out a communicator.
"L just left a few minutes ago." Tachibana had given L free leave to come and go from the base as he pleased, but this didn't seem like him, he usually took at least a few bodyguards in stealth with him whenever he left.

''You won't?'' Byrd needed a moment to think this through. But before he had any time to digest it all she was flying away.
Normally Byrd wouldn't let his targets get away that easily but this one was extraordinary powerful. It seemed both of them hadn't gone all out. Byrd would need to gather on some information and finish something else he was here for. He retracted his wings as he slowly descended to the ground. He liked to walk while thinking.

Bunji was about to leave with Aiko when he got a call on his cell phone , it was from Harry.
"Bunji , I'm calling off the attack for now."
"What? Why, we might not get another chance like this!"
"Something new just showed up, the men I had spying on Sekiharas house reported Shadow going into combat with a strange winged person. I don't want to make any moves until this new element has been figured out."
At Toris house
Tori had been so depressed because of Kazuo she'd barely noticed the battle outside her house.
Outside Byrd hadn't yet left, but then he noticed something, those two men that were in the van that Shadow had knocked over in their fight were nervously reporting the situation to their superior while crouched behind the overturned vehicle. They had seen him when he decloaked.

''I've heard enough strange things telling they wanted to be strongest being on the planet before I killed them, but this guy really was something else. I wonder how he obtained the Armor of the Beast. He didn't seem human and aliens don't go to Gantz. Maybe he's one of those aliens that can assimilate...'' Byrd was talking to himself as he caught something in the corner of his eyes.
There were two men that seemed to be reporting something. Byrd remembered them falling out the van he threw Shadow into. Immediately he dashed toward them grabbing both by their collars and smashing them in a wall.
''Who were you reporting to!!'' He said raising his voice and showing his fangs for intimidation. When they told him he'd blow their heads off.

One of the men looked like he was about to say something but the other one shouted at him "Don't say anything! If we talk we'll be killed and turned into Org men!"
"Would you rather die now then? If you don't have anything to tel me I have no reason to keep you alive." Byrd said.
"Nothing you could do to us could be worse then what the boss will do..." the first guy said but the other guy seemed more willing to spill the beans.
"W-We work for Millenion, please don't kill me! I got a kid I gotta provide for!"
"You idiot! Stop talking!" Byrd fired an X-gun blast intot he uncooporative man causing him to explode. He only needed one of them to get information.
"What's Millenion?"
"O-on the outside it looks like just any othe rbusiness but its actually the biggest criminal organization in the country, maybe even the world. But you better think twice if you want to go up against them, lately theyve started making some really weird stuff !"
Somewhere else
Shadow paused finnally noticing no one was following her, Byrd was nowhere around. "Why didn't he come after me?" it couldnt be because he knew of her relation to Tori and was going after her next? It was possible, Gantz could have told him about her. "Damn it!" Shadow was begining to go back when suddenly something hit her just as something else made a very loud bang. What had knocked Shadow down was Sayura, someone or something had just shot at her, a huge hole was blown clear through the building she had just been hovering in front of.
"Sayura! You finnally showed yourself to help your new freind huh?" Someone Shadow didn't recognize said. It was a strange guy he was incredibly skinny , almost as thin as a pole withj four arms , and a huge sniper rifle. He had grey skin and no eyes, but below his nose was a fanged mouth.
"Buster. I was hoping we wouldn't be meeting again so soon."
"You know this guy?"
"Yes, around the same time I was made three others were as well, their names are Buster, Bastard and Carrot Top." Sayura explained "The other two are probably around here too."
"What the deal with those names?"
"Hanumon was the one who named them. I was named by someone else."
"Sayura you traitor, you and your freind will both be sharing a grave tonight." Buster said grinning as he fired from his sniper rifle at Sayura who did her best to evade his shots as more holes were blown through a nearby building.
At tokyo tower
Pavarti sat on one of the steel girders as Sayuras voice screamed into her head "WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON!? BUSTERS REALLY TRYING TO KILL ME!"
"Calm down Sayura, this is a nessecery part of our plan, Buster, Bastard and Carrot Top are expendable, thats why my idiot brother Hanumon was the one left in charge of them. They were instructed to come at you and Shadow with everything they had and try to kill you for real. Only then will Shadow completely trust you , once you both have fought for your lives against them. You have permission to kill them if nessecery Sayura, don't hold back just because their your siblings, they certainly won't hold back against you!"
"Those three are going to kick your precious Sayuras ass!" Pavarti heard someone say behind her, she turned to see Hanumon leap down to sit next to her.
"Go away...your annoying..."
"Man you think Sayuras hot shit, but she's gonna lose!"
"Hanumon you dolt, for the plan to work she needs to win. But don't worry, she's ina whole different league then those three you were looking after, she won't lose to them."

Byrd remembered hearing something about a multi millionare named Harry or something having a huge orginazation. he heard enough. Byrd would find the building on his own. He looked at the man and muttered ''sorry'' before his head exploded. Byrd did like it to kill that one. He had a child. But it was necessary.
Minutes later
Byrd arrived at the Millenion building. He observed it from a nearby rooftop. It didn't look anything out the extraordinary. He wouldn't go in and kill the people inside since that would take too much time. Instead he'd bring the whole building down. His wings expanded as he readied his spikes and dorsal fins shot from his back collecting as much as oxygon possible.. He'd barrage the building with as much attacks as necessary to bring it down. Byrd decided to stay cloaked this time.

At Tori's house
Tori hadn't bothered to go see what the commotion was outside as she sat in the corner. Suddenly she heard the sound of electric crackling to the right of her body as someone came out of stealth mode. It was one of the armored troopers she had seen at her school he had a gun drawn on her.
"Sekihara san, why did you come back here? You should know better then anyone its no longer safe here." she recognized the voice under the helmet.
"L?" He removed his helmet. It was L, but without the makeup he used to protect his face from being seen. He didn't look that much more normal without it, he had very pale skin with dark rings around his eyes, he almost looked like one of the ghosts from The Grudge.
"Yes, I also brought Mantacore, but besides us, no one on my team knows that I'm here all the cameras I planted in your house have been shut off. Mantacore has also promised me he would keep this a secret. I don't know what happened to make you so disstressed, but while you were crying here your freind Shadow was fighting someone outside, neither of thjem are there any longer so before anything else irregular happens, I suggest you come with me. I still need you for my investigation, so it would be bad if you died now. So for now I think it would be best if you come with me, like I said before this will be a secret from the others, and you'll be released as soon as I use you to confirm something. I know you have something important in this room, I'll leave you here for a few minutes while you put it in your bag. And don't try to run, Mantacore is waiting outside the house."
"Wait, that's your real face!"
"I cleared you as a Kira suspect, so it would be pointless to hide it." L said before closing the door.
At the Millenion building
Byrid fired off his first volley of fire at the building melting the side of it. Just one blast wouldn't be good enough though, he moved around it mlting all the primary support beams. The various people on the street screamed as the huge blasts of fire seemingly came out of nowhere.
At Harrys mansion
"It's Shadow! She's attacking the Millnion building!" Bunji had jumped to conclusions that Shadow had been the one behind it since she was the only one he had seen using that sort of attack.
"WHAT?!"
"Turn on the news!" Harry turned on the TV to see video footage of white blasts of fire seemingly coming out of nowhere burning intot he building.
"Should I get Aiko to..."
"No this is too open, it's not time for us to reveal ourselves yet, Shadow needs to be eliminated in secrecy!"
"Harry Darling what's wrong?" his wife Sherry asked as she came into his room.
"Terrorists have bombed the Millenion building." Harry responded to her.
"That's horrible! I'm so glad you weren't there!" she said hugging him. None of Millnenions important experiments were in the main building, that was merely where he conducted business so it wouldnt be a huge loss.
At the buildings location
Byrd sent one more blast into another support beam melting it, this was too much for the building to take as it creaked and rumbled. Windows shattered followed by falling concrete as it came tumbling down! The people below the building screamed as huge thunks of concrete fell to the ground crushing anything in their path inclduign a number of cars that exploded from the impact. Like a wave of thunder the whole building came crashing down, the front half of the building across the street was utterly demolished from the blast caused by the toppling Millenion building, the floors on the side facing it collapsing like dominos. Byrd stood his ground as the shockwave from the blast washed over him filling his blonde hair with suet. When it was over, all that was where the Millenion building once stood was a huge plume of smoke and ash rsing into the night sky.
Shadows location
Buster fired on Sayura, the slug from his cannon passing through her like a ghost. She flew right through him appearing behind him. "Just who do you think your trying to hit with that?" Buster suddenly coughed out blood, when she had passed through his body Sayura had removed his still beating heart! She closed her fingers crushing and spraying her body with blood before picking upo her siblings cannonand firing it directly into his exposed butt which was facing her as he clutched his chest. Busters rear end exploded sending both his legs flying through the air. She was about to unload another round into him when a bluish light fell over the area between her and Buster. Sayura jumped backwards as the roof seemed to desintergrate in the light. A red haired boy and something that appeared to be a spikey humanoid armadillo sat on top of a taller building.
"I'll handle Sayura, you go after Shadow." the boy said
"Carrot Top!" this kid was supposed to be the strongest of the three. Carrot top seemed to vanish reapearing much closer to her. Sayura cupped both hands generating a ball of plasma and hurled it at him, he vanished again appearing right next to her.
"I'll mummify you before you kancho assasinate me." he said knocking Busters gun from her hand. Carrot Top would be formidible opponent to beat, Sayura phased through the roof as Carrottop vanished again following her.
"Hey...Sayura?" Shadow landed on the roof, Buster was trying to crawl away.
"Hey there buddy, having trouble?" Shadow said walking over to him.
"Gurrghhhh..." he uttered out Shadow stood up just in time to hear a whistling noise, what appeared to be a huge drill bits shaped like a lance shot through both her legs skewerring her and pinning her upside down against the wall of a nearby buliding. Before she could move her arms two more shot through her hands.
"HAHAHAHA!" laughing like some sort of mental patient was the creature that resembled a spikey humanoid Armadilla, his greyish armor jiggled as he laughed.
"Don't tell me your the one we were supposed to target? You were caught off guard so easily! Mmmmm but I do like bald girls!"
"B-bald...damn you!" Shadow struggled to pull her limbs free to no avail. Some of her hair had already begoan to grow back but it was very short.
"You weren't anything special, but now that I have defeated you, let me ask you this. You ever been penetrated?"
"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Shadow sturggled more as a fifth drill emerged from his fore head growing super long.
"That's my name, see we must be soul mates, you knew my name before I even told you, well baby, I think that's about enough fore play!" the drill on his fore head positioned in front of Shadows crotch as he was about to ram it foreward a greenish blure chopped off the end of the drill and then sliced off the other four that had her crucified against the building. Shadow landed, the tip of her tail glowing a sickly greenish hue.
"Just who the fuck do you think I am you hedgehog asshole!"
"Wah my drills of overcompensation! Look what you've done to them!" He said backing away, the broken drill bits lodged in Shadows body began to dissolve as her nanites deconstructed them healing her wounds.
"My drills are bigger and more powerful then yours are! " Drills simialar to the ones all over Bastards body began to grow out of Shadows flesh.
"Wah! Scary!" Bastard began to run away as Shadow extended one hand, the drill shooting outwards like a lance piercing him from behind and then coming out his mouth skewering him like a shish kabob. She then turned around swinging her arm sending him flying against the wall where he slid to the ground twitching nest to Buster.
"Guess its time to finish this!" Shadow raised both hands preparing to incinerate the two of them when suddenly a missile hit her from behind exploding with enough force to throw her off the rooftop.
"H-Hanumon aniki...." Bastard gasped from the ground.
"Man, look at you two, guess it's up to me to save your asses...."
Both of them were in too much pain to tell him that he was too late as he picked them up slinging them over his shoulder before leaving.

''Shit, shit'' Byrd said as dust ran through his hair.
Quickly he took out his mirror to see how it looked.
''No way, I gotta fix...'' In the corner of his mirror Byrd saw something that made him almost forget about his hair. A man was lying on the ground with a severed hand and bleeding from his head. Next to him was a little girl shaking him probably trying to wake him up. But Byrd knew better. This feeling of guilt also made him feel good for a moment, strange enough. It confirmed to him that he still had a part of his humanity left. Byrd closed his mirror and his wings emerged from his back. They carried him down to the little girl. It was no problem if she would see him since he knew from experience adults never believed children. Byrd took the girl in his arms, who protested with all her might beating and biting him, while he put her father on his back. He'd carry them both and drop them near a hospital and stand by from a safe distance until he'd seen them both be carried away by someone.

Toriyuki had just remembered that she was supposed to meet Shadow at the hideout but, now it was far to late. She couldn't believe how stupid she had been to come back home. Even if the battle was over in gantz their was still a war raging on outside.
She took a momment to consider L's proposition and clamped a hand of Old Man Pika's mouth to prevent him from doing anything that might dig them into a deeper hole. When L left, Tori planned on asking Old Man Pika a question.
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but now your free to go off on your own now. I have no idea whats going to happen to me but, I want you to hide until its safe to come out. I already lost Kazou because of me and I don't want to lose you too!" Whether or not Old Man Pika chose to stick with her, she knew she couldn't stay in the bathroom for long.

After dropping off the two wounded people at the hospital Byrd left as several dumbfounded physicians ran outside to find the two wounded left on their doorstep.
Toris house
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but now your free to go off on your own now. I have no idea whats going to happen to me but, I want you to hide until its safe to come out. I already lost Kazou because of me and I don't want to lose you too!"
"I'm scared, so scared I could wet myself, but everyone from my team died back then because I was so cowardly. I don't want the same thing to happen again, I'll go with you." He said before hiding in her bag
"Are you ready now?"
"Alright lets go."
L and Tori got into a black armored truck that was parked outside the house.
"This will really help Captain Tachibanas investigation? I don't like keeping secrets from my master." the huge White wolf said materializing behind L. "Don't worry, if I'm right Sekihara san could provide us with several important clue tommarow." Aftrer driving away L pulled into an old car garage.
"I thought we were going to some sort of base? This is where your investigation headquarters is?"
"No, I told you I kept this secret from the others. Your going to stay here tonight. Tommarow we'll go see Yagami kun. I have a futon in the back of the truck if you want a place to sleep."
Back at Toris house
"She's gone! Did that Angel bastard kidnap her?" Shadow sniffed the air that smelled familiar "No, L was here? What's going on? Was he the one who took Tori?"

Byrd casually walked away from the hospital through a dark street. he found a shop with a large mirror where he could see all of his hair, and used it to fix it. In the shop he also saw a folder which said:'Jesus is coming back.' He'd seen a lot of those lately. Ignorant people waiting for the coming of an almighty savior to cure the world of all evil. They didn't realize the evil is in themselves and so is the cure. The people of today didn't understand a thing of what Jesus, Mohamed or any other prophet had said. He should know, he was there. Instead they just made them holy and untouchable.
A few drunk teenagers ran past him that made him startle a bit, waking him from his line of thought. He watched them as they ran off, laughing and falling along the way. His wings expanded as his gaze stayed steady on them. With one flap he came of the ground followed by a series of flapping until Byrd was finally airborne.
From way above he watched Tokyo. All those little ants that were crawling around had an own life. An own mind and they were just as complex as his. With the same guilt, doubt, happiness and all with a burden to bear. Just like him. Maybe not as hard as Byrd's, but a burden nonetheless.
At first he thought this would be just a random mission and he'd be over with it in a few hours. But it seemed his targets this time were from a higher caliber. At least one was. He didn't know about the other one.
Whatever he had to stand up against, it would have to wait until the morning. Byrd was tired. Mentally and physically. From high above he could make out an open window. Probably a hotel.

The next day
Neither L nor Tori had shown up at school that day, Light wondered what the meaning of this could be. The other day L had said he wanted to disscuss a plan to deal with the 2nd Kira, but he wasn't at school. This wasn't like him at all, what had happened? He doubted it was coincidence that both of them were absent. But more then that something else was on his mind, a woman who looked to be in her 20's seemed to be tailing him. At first he didn't recognize her, but then he remembered her face, he had killed her! Sakura frowned at the thought of working with him, but for now it couldnt be helped.
As he walked home Ryuuk silently flew behind him "What's wrong Light? You look like somethings bothering you."
Sakura had been instructed to contact both the 2nd and first Kira. She had made contact with Misa Amane last night and now she needed to approach Light Yagami. This was the man who had killed her.
Not too far away the black armored truck L had taken from the base parked.
"There's Yagami kun. My plan is to have you approach him and bring up the topic of the 2nd Kira in your conversation. Don't directly say it, but imply that you might know something about the 2nd Kira. I want to see how he reacts to that information. Keep in mind that I havent completely ruled out the possibility that you could be an accomplice of Kira. Aside from the wire I've placed on you, Mantacore will be watching in stealth to make sure you don't exchange any written notes with Yagami kun." L hadn't really noticed Sakura yet, but Tori did, that was one of the new gantzers from her room, and this person was heading straight for Light!

East Tokyo
Ryou woke up to the sound of a building collapsing. In front of him was his wife on the bed watching tv.
''Hey, baby.'' he said still half asleep.
She didn't reply. Instead she stayed fixed to the television biting her lips. Ryou sat up and wondered watch was watching. To his great surprise he saw a large building collapsing. He'd heard rumors that what went down there were criminal operations. They said it was a terrorist attack but there were no signs of bombs. Several witnesses had seen fireballs flying at the building and one had been even recorded. Experts put them in the same category of unexplainable destructions that were happening around Tokyo the last years. Ryou gave his wife a kiss thinking she was afraid because of the attack. But what really was making her bite her lips was his late arrival last night.
She stood up and walked down. As soon as she left the room Ryou looked under the bed.'
''Damn, it wasn't a dream.''
He put on some clothes and went downstairs.
''Where's Annin''
''He went to school. And your boss called, you need to be at work in two hours'' She said with a cold voice.
Ryou walked up behind her and gently put his hands on her shoulder, slowly going down and holding her hand.
''Plenty of time, huh?'' he said whispering in her ear and proceeded to kiss her neck.
She pushed him off and put his eggs on the table.
''Eat it up, he also said you're gonna have to work late tonight'' And she quickly went to the bedroom.
Raito didn't understand what had made her so upset. But it was clear she wouldn't want to talk about it right now so he decides to leave it be for now. He casually at his breakfast and walked out the door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
West Tokyo
Byrd woke up feeling energized. He stood up and looked out the window at the warm sun who shone on his skin.
''ahhh. The first thing I'm going to do after I finish this, is take a sunbath in Italy.''
With that thought to look forward he took a shower. Coming back with a towel wrapped around his waist he turned on the tv to see the same news Ryou had seen earlier. Byrd didn't bother to watch it and dried himself off. Before he had the chance to dress someone entered the room. Luckily he was fast enough to grab his clothes and go in to stealth mode. The man that just entered was baffled to see his television on a towel on the ground and his bed all messed up. Angrily he went back to receptionist. Byrd let out a breath of relieve and got himself dressed.
He jumped down the window and flew up to the top of the hotel. It seemed his target wasn't in Tokyo anymore. Last night Byrd could still since his presence but now it was gone. Because he needed to keep track of it he expanded his range to the area around Tokyo too. Still he had no trace of where he was. Next Byrd expanded to whole Japan. He did not sense his target but he did find something else. It felt like Gantz technology but in a very different way. It seemed to be to the north of Tokyo. He decided to let his original target go for the moment and headed to this new one in the mountains.

Hawaii
The copy Shadow had made the other day sat on the beach, she had decdided to stop over here on the way over to the American continent. It was a shame she couldn't bring Tori and the others along, but despite appearances, this wasn't a vacation. Her other self was still trying to find Tori, L wouldnt kill her since she was the only thing keeping Shadow from moving against Light, just what was he trying to do with her?Once the 2nd Kira was located things would get dangerous.
Back in Japan
Misa lay sleeping on her bed, ever since the day she had gotten 200 pts she had dreampt of what happened back then.
"I don't mind dying if your the one who kills me." a strange big headed mishapen creature with a single yellow eye said as it took her X-rifle and held it against its fore head. "Do it, you'll probably get alot of points."
Misa woke up, although Jealous had killed everyone else on her team, although without doing what she did back then she never would have met Rem or had the opportunity to meet Kira. Misa had always felt bad about what happened to him.
In the mountains
Around the same time Sakura was approaching Light outside of Tokyo Byrd stood in front of a sloping mountain range. It had just rained, mist was pouring over the forest as he walked through the wet grass.
Somewhere nearby
"Something strange is being picked up on the censors. It's simialer to the signals given off by the black suits."
"Put it on screen." On screen a huge picture of Byrd flickered inside a control room.
"He doesn't appear to be wearing a suit, who is he?"
"Whoever he is, I have a feeling he could be important, requesting permission to release Mantacore to capture the intruder."

Tori yawned and stretched as she finnaly woke up. She wasn't used to sleeping in and it didn't bother her much either. While sleeping on the futon she ended up using the bag that Old Man pika was inside as a pillow. She had a good rest but, she wasn't so sure that he had as well.
Rising out of her futon she looked around to see if she was alone...

OOC: woah hold on there, the last update for Tori kind of skipped ahead to the afternoon of the next day where L's breifing Tori about his plan so Tori should already be up by now, L likes to talk alot but he's not boring enough to put her to sleep . If you want to include the scene where Tori wakes up and what she sees, L should be in the van sitting in the corner with his legs up against his chest looking over at where Tori was sleeping which would probably creep her out a bit.
