Millenions secret

[Defectron]

After everyone got in the van it drove away, they were riding in it for about an hour before the van came to a stop in front of what looked to be some sort of research facility. Harry got out and opened the back doors of the van "Were here, now if you all follow me, I have something interesting to show you." following Harry they all walked into the strange facility.

Harry passed several doors which did a retinal scan on him and lead them down a series of hallways. Eventually they came to a dimly lit laboratory area where and old man was working on something.

"This is Dr. Tokioka, our head of research."

"Mr. McDowel, I'm very busy now who are these...my god is that a bear?" the old man said backing away in suprise.

"Easy now doctor, these people are here to help us, and I will pay you handsomly not to ask any questions about Spike." he said motioning to the grizzly.

"Th-this is highly irregular...but your the one in charge..." Dr Tokioka looked like a stressed out greying old man who was doing something against his better judgment.

"Get to the point, why are we here?" Tjad asked.

"Why don't you show them some of the results of what we found."

"Very well, come this way." the old man lead them to another part of the lab to a darkened room enclosed in transparant walls. Dr. Tokioka flipped a switch, inside was a chimpanzee with pure white fur, there were alot of bloodstains on the floor of its room but no bones and no feces either.

"This is one of our experimental subjects, as you can see , it leaves no remains, it converts 100% of the mass of what it consumes into pure energy. So far I've figured out how to unlock several different traits but weve yet to figure out how to control it, I expect he'll be most irritable waking him up at this time of night."

The white chimp glared at them with red eyes and growled. It leapt at the wall pounding against it with its fists.

"This chimps streingth has been measured at nearly 10 times that of a normal chimp, but the reinforced walls should hold." the chimp then leapt backwards and pointed one hand at the wall, it seemed to morph into a sort of cannon that launched some sort of fireball at the wall which propmtly exploded.

"He's overexcited to see this many people, some seditives should calm him down." Dr. Tokioka pressed a button and some white mist was sprayed into the chimps room, the chimp seemed to ease off becoming sleepy and sitting back down.

"Several months ago a strange creature appeared in the main lobby of the millenion building, we have no idea how it got there and it killed several men before it was eventually gunned down. On its body we found a number of nanites years ahead of anything were capapble now. This is just a hunch , but I think it may have some connection to gantz."

"What's gantz?" Tokioka asked.

"Now doctor, I pay you to figure out how these things work, not to ask me questions. If you would leave us for a moment." the old man walked away.

"Spike, Dr Gaylord, what do you make of this?"

"Very interesting, I'd like to examine these nanites in more detail." Gaylord said looking at the chimp.

"As you can see, Tokioka managed to figure out how to activate a transformation that changed that chimps hand into a weapon, but so far weve only deciphered about 3% of the code contaned in the nanites, we have no idea what the rest of it is used for or what sort of information is contained in it. It may even tell us something about gantz. Tokioka is a genius, but as things are it may be too late by the time we get answers. I thought maybe you two could figure out how it works faster."

"True, I have had experience working with this sort of thing before." Gaylord said.

"Of course, both of you will be handsomly rewarded for your services, I could even help rebuild your chocolate factory."

"But why do you need the rest of us?" asked Gmr.

"You heard Gaylords story, Gantz tried to kill him when he used alien tech in his factory. Also there are other organizations that may be interested in this, we don't know how much the agency that attacked us with those soldiers knows, your freind Indra may also try to attack if he knows of what were doing." he said looking over at Tjad. "I want the rest of you to cooporate with Bear Walkens Overkill squad and guard this facility, of course you all will be paid handsomly for your services, Millenion afterall is a multibillion dollar organization.

[®onnie ®ude]

"So who exactly is this Indra person anyways?" GmR heard his name flying around during previous missions but, thought nothing of him. Maybe he was associated with the yakuza. Being that he was behind the men in black that were chasing the doc. "I'm interested in playing babysitter, but with the rep this guy runs with he may be the guy i'm looking for."

GmR then crossed his arms and asked,"So anyone got anything on him or what?"

[Shad²]

''Last time I saw him, he was bisected.'' He says looking over to GmR as of saying he won't be any problem any more.''

''I don't want your money. I just want answers and don't think you can boss me around now. I'll babysit here, but don't make it too boring.''

*Meanwhile in another part of the building*
A young man in Jncos and a suade fur collared coat enters through the front doors , hes carrying a small duffle and as he passes the front desk he nods to the security officer and continues. The officer shoots a look of utter annoiance as the young man flashes his worker badge and gets in the elevator. The doors close and soon open on the 5th floor , he steps out and over to a soda machine where he slides a few coins in and recieves a cool bottle from it. he then walks down the hall to a windowless metal door. He hunches over and offers his eye to the scanner it takes a retnal picture and grants access.
As he walks in a voice says "Awwwww shoot here comes trouble" he retorts "AND YA BETTER BELIEVE IT!" the doors begin to slide shut when another deeper serious voice cuts in "Mr. Nakumura will you please come with me?" The doors meet and the hall becomes silent.

[jjrev609]

When JPimpin heard about Indra he instantly thought of Pavarti.

"So if Indra will supposedly show up, will Pavarti too?" He asked. The others shrugged their shoulders clearly meaning they don't know. JPimpin let out a sigh and examined the white chimp. He couldn't understand it, he only thought that these kind of things exsited in movies, but he has seen worse.

"Well if I remember correctly when I saw him, he threw a knife in my foot and helped Pavarti escape." JPimpin had a little dissapointment in his voice. "Well if he shows up somehow, I'm gonna return the favor."

[Defectron]

In Shivas hide out

Indra was suspended in a strange pool of greenish liquid that floated in the air. Maya watched looking worried. Hanumon had been messed up pretty bad too but it only took him about 45 minutes to completely regenerate.

"Why is big brother in there? Why isn't he better yet?" she asked Shiva.

"During the fight the device that powers his positron beam cannons got damaged. It's not easy to repair, unless the utmost care is taken it could explode so he'll be in there awhile longer."

Maya frowned, she'd send those hunters straight to hell for what they did to her big brother.

Meanwhile

The tip of Dokukos tale in the crows beak began to squirm, the bird dropped the tale and it fell downwards towards an unsuspecting sea side apartment penthouse. It landed in a bowl of Oden that someone had set out on a table on the patio.

Dan didn't know what had happened to Dokuko, the last thing he remembered was losing conciousness in her arms. Wherever he was now it was dark and warm.

"I'm sorry..." he could here Dokukos voice

"Whatre you sorry about...where is this..." he wasn't feeling completely awake.

"It looks like you were right, things couldn't stay the way they were. But at least I was able to save you. Even if we can't be together, I want you to be able to live. So I'm giving everything I have left to you."

"Wait ...what are you talking about? Dokuko wait what do you mean by that?!?" Before Dan could ask anymore questions he felt an intense pain in his side.

Daisuke Yoshizawa was the son of a millionaire, a pampered son who lived the good life. He was also a hard core otaku which embarrassed his parents quite a bit, this was his private penthouse where he came occasionally to get away from his family that was always bugging him. Instead of using chop sticks like many Japanese people he preferred eating oden with western utensils like a fork, a habit he picked up when visiting the states. He stuck the fork into the bowl and punctured something, he pulled it up out of the noodles but it wasn't at all what he was expecting. A tiny girl only several inches tall was impaled on his fork. She had white skin and white hair like an albino but also had pointy ears.

"Uhh..." Daisuke started to say, he really wasn't expecting to find something like this in an oden. She slowly opened two tiny red eyes glaring at him.

"What the fuck is this...?" he heard her say in a tiny voice, right before the prongs of the fork proptly melted dropping her to the table.

Dan looked at where the fork had been stuck in his side, the wounds were rapidly healing and then looked at how his body looked and how small he was. "Hmmmm.....well...this was unexpected..." he wondered where Dokuko was, she should know what's going on, but he couldn't feel her presence anywhere. He walked over to the bowl of oden and looked inside.

"What the hell? I look just like Dokuko, the colors different but other then that...what happened after I passed out?"

"A-are you real?" Daisuke asked with a big goofy grin.

Dan slowly turned "Oh....your the dumbass with the fork...why the hell was I in that soup? You'd better answer now if you know what's good for you!" Ignoring what he said the giant reached out and poked one of her tiny boobs. Dan reachedout and grabbed the finger. He fingers morphed into curving talons just like the ones that had been on his weapon and he ripped the big mans index finger right off.

"ARRRGGHHHHHH!" He fell on his butt backing away.

"Now as I was saying, why was I in your soup?" She leapt off the table and began to walk towards him still holding his finger. "You haven't seen anyone else around here who looks like me have you? But bigger and with greenish skin?" He was crying and shaking his head.

"Hmmm don't know?Well I'll just leave this here then." Dan placed the finger on the floor and walked away.

(OOC: Well that was gay your update had nothing to do with us! ><)


"Well I remember them chasing around Shirow alot, like what relation did you have with Shirow and what was their relation to him." GmR crossed his arms before adding."Chimps don't tell me anything...cause this is just animal cruelty." GmR had a disgusted snear on his face remembering the screams of the chimp. He was glad his eyes could not see what it was going through.

'Damn scientists,"He thought to himself while waiting for an answer.

[Defectron]

"When I first came into Gantz Shirow saw it as an opportunity to try to seize control of Millenion using his special weapon. As for why they were after him we can only speculate, maybe they saw his weapon as a threat. Why lightning would be more dangerous to them then any of the other gantz weapons is something I wouldn't know however." Harry said keeping his poker face.

[Shad²]

''It wasn't just Shirow, but they want all of us. I met Indra a few months ago for the first time when he promised he'd kill us all. I guess he wasn't on his own. His friends want us dead too. ''

Tjad couldn't help but to think that they were the good guys and he the bad guy. Maybe they were trying to protect the other aliens. Although it didn't seem that way. He needed time to think.

''I don't know about you but I'm not going to hang around here all day. If something happens I'll be back here. Maybe I'll check up on here to see the progress. see ya later.''

With that said he climbs out the window to jump up to the top. up there he takes a deep breath right after falling on his back and looking at the sky.

[jjrev609]

"I just want to know why does Indra wanna kill us and whose the people he's rollin wit?" JPimpin folded his arms and leaned against a wall waiting for a reply. He felt that he had missed something important.

"Well I know most of you guys have been in Gantz before me so, if it's alright, can you bring me up to date about Shirow and Indra?"

[®onnie ®ude]

GmR noticed Tjad's absence and wanted to fill in Jpimpin but, thought against and knew the others would do a better job anyway. Wallking over to the window he let the breeze hit his cheeks and wish he could see how nice it was outside for once. He then shook his head out of his thoughts when he heard a piece of roof matter slide off the roof followed by the thump of a person falling back onto the roof.

GmR smirked and climbed up the roof and nudged Tjad's boot with his Katana. "It seems were starting to be a lot alike in views here. Even if we might have our problems it seems you know a lot more about this organization that you shared back there. They seem to know the answers so what is it you have against Harry?"

GmR still sensed mistrust so he sat a bit aways away from the other lad and added," Harry really doesn't seem like the person to spring this out of nowhere and the fact that he chooses to tell us now is suspicious."

[Shad²]

Tjad sighed at GmR's voice asking him question and disturbing him. He pauses for a minute. He raises his X-Rifle against the moonlight and then points it at GmR.

''I could shoot you now. Then you wouldn't be so annoying. But you know why I won't? Because you trust me not to. That wouldn't bother Harry. Besides, I know he's up to something. I just need to figure out what.''

With that said he stands up and walks past GmR to the edge of the room. He takes a deep breath.

''Loot at all those people. Living their everyday lives without a care in the world. All those lights. Each and everyone of them represents a human life. A chaos but still it takes your breath away.''

Tjad looks at GmR.

''I bet you'd love to see it don't you? Maybe if you obtain a hundred points Gantz'll give you that opportunity.''

Leaving GmR something to think about Tjad lets himself fall of the roof grabbing on to a pole he swings himself on to another building and keeps on running. He was searching for Dokukko. She was still out there. He knew it.

[®onnie ®ude]

At Tjad's words GmR had a shocked expression on his face and looked towards Tjad but he had already taken off in the crowded busy streets.'Gantz can give me my sight back?' He thought to himself as he knew he wanted this more than anything.

It had started to rain so GmR headed back inside...His mind still on the thought of obtaining his vision.

[Defectron]

Several weeks later

Harry didn't know exactly what was going on with the project, he had gotten several calls from Dr. Tokioka reporting that as Harry had expected. Spike and Dr. Gaylord had some new views on the nanites none of the other scientists had thought of. But he hadn't gotten any specifics yet which was why he was here today. Dr. Gaylord had not been a cheap employee, he knew Harry had alot of money to throw around and he had taken advantage of that fact.

When Harry walked into Dr. Gaylords room it was styled in the fashoin of some sort of anchient temple the walls were lined with some really weird golden statues of what looked like some sort of deformed midjits. When Dr. Gaylord had the statues commisioned he had explained to Harry that these were representations of the Clunka Wunka tribal dietys.

Harry could hear someone singing on a karioke machine, it was Dr. Gaylord. For some reason he was wearing a dress and was also holding two custom made plushies that looked suspiciously like plushie versions of Gmr and Tjad.

"To be in love
Must be the sweetest feeling that a girl can feel
To be in love...
To live a dream
With somebody you care about like no one else.
A special man... A dearest man
Who needs to share his life with you alone.
Who'll hold you close and feel things
That only love brings
To know that he is all your own

To be my love,
My love must be much more than any other man
To be my love...
To share my dream
My hero, he must take me where no other can
Where we will find a brand new world
A world of things we've never seen before
Where silver suns have golden moons
Each year has thirteen Junes
That's what must be for me...
To be in love..."

After he stopped Harry walked in "Ok...I'm not even going to ask what this is all about...." he said putting one hand to his face. He was just glad that neither of the plushies Gaylord was holding looked like him. "Dr. Gaylord, I'd like to know what progress you've been making on the project."

"Oh yes! Yes of course follow me..."

"Uhhh...are you going to get changed first?"

"No, there's not enough time for trivialities like that. Anyway I'de like to show you what I've done so far in the flesh so to speak, words are just inadiquate in potraying it."

later

They went intot he same facility that Harry had shown the gantzers earlier. Dr. Gaylord lead him to the area where the chimp was housed. "Something new witht he test subject?"

"Oh you'll see!" Dr. Gaylord opened up the armored door to the room housing the chimp.

"W-wait what are you doing?" that thing was a vicious beast, why was he opening the door?

"There's nothing to worry about. Bonzo, come out, someones here to see you." the white chimp came trotting over to the door. It still had the same furious bloodlust in it's face, but for some reason it wasn't attacking them. "You can pet him if you want, he won't bite you unless I tell him to."

"I'll pass, how exactly did you do this?"

"Well, initially when a life form is exposed to the nanites their original personality is destroyed, all that's left is the need to kill and consume. However I discovered that theres a control mechanism. Others like Bonzo here may have been used as footsoldiers by an unknown commander who controlled them through that mechanism. All I did was rewrite it's programming so that Bonzo here will only listen to my commands."

"Hmmm...very good Dr. Gaylord, but I want to know, is there a way to do this while keeping the subjects original personality intact?"

"Now that I haven't discovered yet, however, I do believe it's possible."

"Very good, I may be moving you to a new facility soon to do slightly different research." Harry had several ideas of what he wanted to use this new technology for. Dr. Gaylord didn't seem to care much about his motives as long as he got what he wanted but some of the other gantzers might not approve. Spike could continue things as usual here while Dr. Gaylord took care of some of his more questionable projects in a more discreet setting.

Elsewhere

Dan had found that the more matter this new body consumed the larger it grew, within 14 days it was back to the same size as the original Dokuko. It still retained the same ghostly white pigment and red eyes however. Where had Dokuko gone, never mind that he couldn't sense her, she never came back to the hotel they were staying at, the place they always met after missions. But if she had been killed, then how had he survived? There was only one way to find out, to find one of the gantzers. He didn't know if they were even alive though, chances are someone had made it out alive though.

Dan held out one hand and a Gantz katana formed in it, he'd tried out all of Dokukos abilites, like the original Dokuko he seemed to have the ability to consume and assimalate other things, he just hadn't found anything worth assimalating yet. But as it stood he knew he needed to get stronger, against a single gantzer he'd win but if they all came at once things could get more difficult. He glanced over at Dokukos clothes, that were folded up on top of a chair on the other side of the room. Ever since being reborn in this new form Dan hadn't bothered to wear any clothes, he simply went into stealth mode when moving around outside, he was no longer a fragile human and the elements couldn't hurt this body. Clothes were things humans used to disguise who they really were, he was no longer human and he had no use for human things. But if he was to blend into human society he'd need to wear them. He glanced over at it again, but it just wouldn't feel right to be trying on Dokukos things when he didn't even know what happened to her.

As she lay on the bed she absent mindedly gave one of her boobs a squeeze, whatever happened to Dokuko? This body was back to normal size, maybe it was time to find out.

A bit later

The ghostly white girl leapt from a tree branch landing on top a telphone pole, her senses were powerful enought hat she could detect what sort of life form something was without even seeing it. Several squirrels were nearby, a bird was feeding it's yound several hundred feet behind her. But then she noticed something more unusual, some guy in a black suit was walking below her, but he was much stronger then a human should be, his life force was different.

"Hmmm...how interesting...maybe I'll follow this guy."

Eventually he came to a shady looking night club and walked inside it.

Inside the night club she detected many others like him. Who were these people? Although there were some differences their life signs seemed human.

"Sorry I'm late guys! Find anything good tonight?" He said to another guy in a black suit.

"Yeah, got a couple school girls, come out back, you can have your pick of the bunch, we got plenty to go around!"

In the back of the club about 8 girls had been hurded into the middle of the room being held so they couldnt escape. One of the larger men grabbed one of the prettier girls by the arm. She screamed, his grip was so tight it felt like her bones were about to break. "Hold still, it'll hurt less then if you struggle!" he wispered in her ear. In his other hand a katana seemed to form out of nothing.

"W-What the hell?" she asked in shock as saw the impossible happen. He girnned revealing his fanged teeth, he always loved that shocked expression they got on their faces. Suddenly they all heared a knock at the back door.

"Oh what the hell is it now!" He said annoyed throwing the girl aside "Get these girls out of sight just in case!" as his freinds moved the struggling girls into another room he walked over to the door, whoever it was they must have a death wish.

"Who is it?" he wasked without opening the door.

"Excuse me? Have you heard of Jehovahs witnesses?" someone asked on the other side of the door.

Was this some sort of stupid joke? It sounded like a girl, well she'd just be one more to add tonights menue. For annoying him like this, he'd kill her himself. Holding his katana behind his back he began to open the door, but before he could something punch straight through the door ripping into his chest and grabnbing his heart. It was a slender ghostly white hand. The door was ripped in half splintering into pieces as he was lifted into the air.

"Hmmmm...your stronger then a human, but not worth assimalating."

"Arrghh...d...damn you..." he managed to raise his katana but dropped it as she squeezed his heart causing it to explode. She removed her hand from his chest, in that short time she'd been able to decipher the inner workings of what made him tick. These were enhanced humans, their bodies were teaming with nanites that repaired and modified their cells. They also had a vulnerability to sunlight. Perhaps that was some sort of failsafe designed to keep them in check?

"H-holy shit!" another man said as he ran into the room, two uzi's formed in his hands and he began firing, armored scales formed over Dans body , dorsal fins and a long tale with a spike ont eh end of it forms along with several tentacles. All the bullets were hitting their target with little effect, the man was soon joined by about twenty other guys all of them firing. When they stopped the form of the girl could still be seen standing inside the cloud of of smoke.

"Aww, that's cute...real cute but you'll have to do much better then that!" About ten different tentacles morphed from her back, each forming an X-gun barrel on the end of it! A series of white flashes went through the air, the men all tried to run for cover but a number of them were guinned down in the first series of flashes. Someone jumped from some place on the ceiling slashing at her with a katana. It's blade hit Dan right on the head but had very little effect.

"Owww....that kind of hurt..." Dan pointed the palm of one hand at the vampire who began to back away, his dorsal fins began to glow white hot, when this happened many of the other vampires screeched in pain, it was worse then daylight! The vampire closest never had the chance though as he was incinerated in a fiery blast of white hot fire.

A bit later

"W-what's going on?" one of the girls asked

"None of your business, you bitches just need to stay put!" Suddenly the doors were blasted off their hinges. A pale white girl with red eyes walked intot he room completely naked and splattered in burnt blood.

"Who...who the hell are you?"

A smal smile crept onto her face "You can call me Shadow Dokuko." Two tentacles lashed out from her back cutting apart all but one of the vampires. A third tentacle shot out, a fanged mouth formed on it as it clamped around the neck of the last vampire. She turned to the girls she had just saved "You guys should go, you might get mentally scarred or something if you stick around..." All of them bolted from the room screaming.

"Wh...why..." the vampire managed to chock out, venom leaked from the mouth burning his flesh.

"You aren't a normal human, now where have I seen something like this before?" Dan had never actually met Indra but he had heard about him from the other gantzers, according to Fist Indra and others like him were humans modified by unknown, probably alien forces to be super powerful. Not unlike these people, but stronger. "You haven't heard of someone named Indra have you?"

"Ahhggg..that defective...what do you want with him?"

"It's not important anymore, just thought I'de ask. What I really want to know about though, are these people." Shadow Dokuko held up one hand and nanites began to come together to form a mini representation of the gantzers.

"The hunters..."

"Oh so you do know about them...any idea where I could find them?"

"If I knew that, we would have attacked them a long time ago. Are you an enemy of their's too? Why don't we team up, I can help you!"

"Nope...not going to happen." The fanged mouth on the end of her tentacle bit down injecting venom into him causing his neck to cmpletely dissolve, his head fell to the ground with a thud. "Hmmmm....maybe it would be easier if I looked for them like a normal person afterall." she said frowning. Maybe she should ask a private investigator to help her, someone like that may be able to find clues that she couldn't.

[®onnie ®ude]

GmR's head slumped and hit his desk. Upon moment of impact he snapped awake only to have one of his female peers grab his goggles and let them snap back to his eyes. "Ah, dammit, I'm awake..."

The female peer beside him frowned knowing she'd have to repeat this once again. He may have been blind but she could tell when someone was sleeping in class. After all she was classroom rep.

"Sppss...Miles! Why are you so tired lately and why have been out of school so much?" Another girl asked hoping the class rep wouldn't pick up on their conversation.

GmR rubbed the shiner beginning to form around his eyes," I've been busy...ya know I lost both of my parent so life's sorta different form me know. Surprised myself really that I even came today."

The girl beside him named Tori sighed in defeat before announcing," From now on I'm taking the liberty of cooking your meals and waking you up for school each day!"

GmR loked blindly in her direction with a face of pure horror,"The hell? D-don't-"

However before he finished he was scolded by his teacher who smacked him with a ruler. As it hit he reared back,"That's not fair I'm blind and can't defend myself!"

Just then the teacher screeched back," Well what are you gonna do? Use that as an excuse to why your homeworks not done?"

Miles thought over the idea before he asked," Well can I?"

"Miles Inwich!" His teacher hissed. She had known he was theonly blind student in her class and their school didn't make classes for the blind but she wasn't going to let him ruin his education because of that.

"Sorry..."Came his apology.

A few hours later the school bell rang and GmR trudged out of school way to tired from the constant scolding his teachers gave him. He enjoyed the peace until Tori came and whacked him on the back. She had been his childhood friend and an annyoing but well needed one.

"Whats eating you Inwich?" She asked in an almost concerened voice.

GmR sighed before smacking a misquito on his neck and though against telling her about the Gantz missions he was in.

"Well?"

GmR shrugged and tried to walk faster but she kept up. As he tried to walk faster again she stopped and warned him to watch out until he bumped into someone.

"Hey, you little shit, watch where your walking!" The guy warned before spitting on GmR's shirt.

GmR had his suit on under his school uniform and had been about to get up to show this stupid ass who exactly he was messing with.

The guy who was obviously a jock laughed before adding,"Oh what? Your mad now?"

Tori then held back Miles before apologizing," I'm sorry he's blind, Miles lets just go...he's not worth it."

Miles got to his feet with a clenched fist and began walking away with Tori. She gave a sigh of relief glad that she saved her friend from an ass kicking.

But, this peace did not last long as the same guy laughed and stated,"Yeah i bet your glad your bitch saved you this time."

GmR stopped in his tracks and Tori tried to tug on his arm but, he tugged it away quicky. "Why don't you shut your fucking mouth!" he shouted as he ran at the Jock and grabbed him by his neck. There had been a wall behind him and his feet slowly began to raise off the ground.

Tori stared in shock before relization hit her and she screamed," miles stop your going to kill him!"

"Tori, thats the point he shoudn't of said what he said!" GmR hissed as the muscles in his arms began to bulge from the suit.

"If you kill him you'll be just like him and I'll never talk to you again!" As she tried to reason with him tears began to form around her eyes.

GmR heard her words and it seemed as if his eyes snapped open and saw what he was doing. His hands were starting to make bruises around the man's throat and he was gasping for air.

Then suddenly GmR let him go and fell to the ground along with the man. As this happened it started to rain and GmR sat defeated of by what the hell he was starting to become.

Tori walked over towards him and cupped his head into her hands and said,"What the hell is wrong with you Miles?"

[Shad²]

Behind the wall a cynical laugh forms on Tjad face knowing he was right.

The last few days he was following GmR around. The search for Dokuko had stopped without luck. He checked up once on Dr. Gaylord to see the progress. Harry didn't know. He wasn't really happy with the discovery. Harry would probably try to use that on the Gantzers. He couldn't let Harry control him under any circumstances. If he'd try only one little thing Tjad'd get him. He looked up at the rain letting the water drop on his face. He jumped on the wall sitting on the edge smiling. Not innocent but guilty.

''You're changing. Just like me. You're becoming like me. Turn back. Turn back now you still can. Don't go after the points. Don't let Gantz control you like it did with me.''

Tjad didn't know why but he feeled sympathy for GmR. Maybe because he'd been on that road just like him? Looking at that jock on the ground he remembered the man he killed on the street. They both probably diserved it. But that's the opinion of a lonely traumatized teenager.

''Turn back before you lose it all.'' He says looking at Tori

Tjad jumps down the wall and walks over to the GmR whispering in his ear:''A friend is more precious than anything else. I would kill for one. That's why I don't have one. Don't change in to me.''

Tjad didn't feel like sticking around for GmR to respond because it would probably turn in to an argument so he changed frequencies and took off heading for Suzuka's house.

One week before the vampire massacre

Brandon sat waiting up in the mountains, he was very near the place his last gantz mission had taken place on. But everything had been cleared away, presumably either gantz or whatever organization the base had belonged to had cleaned the place up after the mission was over because there wasn’t a single trace of the ruined military base left.. Apparantly Indra had been nearly destroyed recently and was slowly being healed, but he’d been in contact with one of his other siblings for the past few weeks.

“Hey big shot, see you’re here ahead of time as usual.” Hanumon said as he appeared on top of a large rock looking down on Brandon.he leapt down landing next to him “Such a quiet Deathwalker…not that your kind ever says much usually you guyus just growl and go Urrrnnnghhh before you try to bite some fools nose off.” Brandon just looked at Hanumon with a blank expression. “Jeeze it’s tough to get a rise out of you, hows about this, you smell like dead people you dirty death walker!” Brandon just gave him another blank look.

“Do you have what I asked for?” Brandon finally said something. Hanumon was looking rather annoyed that he couldn’t get a rise out of Brandon, but then again he shouldn’t expect anything less from the man who had managed to retain his personality after being turned.

“Yeah I got it, just shake my hand, I’ll upload the new data into your body, your gonna like it, I made some cool stuff for ya! Don’t tell Indra it was me that gave it to you though, he’ll get all pissed off and start talking like he’s the boss of me like that bastard always does!” Brandon was about to take Hanumons hand when he noticed he had a tac glued to his palm. “Oh, didn’t think you’d see that…damn your pretty sharp for a death walker.” He removed the tac and they shook hands. After Hanumon released his grasp he took a step back. “Why don’t you try it out, I always like a couple good explosions in the morning! It’s not quite as good as my own arsenal, but if I gave you anything more powerfult hen that even your death walker body wouldn’t be able to handle it!”

From the data Hanumon had uploaded into his body he could tell that he now had access to several new weapons. These included two handgun type weapons, they were so powerful they would break the arms of a normal human from the recoil. He also had access to a much larger gun disguised as what appeared to be some sort of styalised coffin that had a red eyed skull on one end. This was actually a rapid fire rail gun designed to take down larger foes and also to house his smaller guns. Brandon held out his hand and one of the regular guns formed. He held out his other hand and a second gun formed. He aimed both of them at a rock and fired both of them aiming at the same spot. All his shots entered the same point of the boulder after several shots he had blasted clean through it.

“Not bad, now how’s about you try out the really big gun huh?” Hanumon said hopeful.

“No, I’ll try it later, this is good enough for now.”
“Aww common man!” Brandon turned and walked away without saying anything more.

“You think he’s going to try to attack his friend again since he knows Indra can’t monitor him?” Maya asked appearing behind Hanumon.

“I hope so, he won’t be able to do it though, a deathwalkers programmed loyalty is something that can never be broken even if the one who gave them the order dies they have no choice but to carry it out. Indra told him not to attack Harry so no matter how badly he wants to, its something he can never do. But it sure will be fun to watch him try. Who knows, he may kill some of the other gantzers for us if they try to get in his way.”

The present

Brandon had wandered the Japanese countryside thinking about his past, Harry and Mariah. He watched the sun come up in the distance brightening the horizon. Despite what Indra had told him, he felt that he needed to go back. Back to the Millenion building in Tokyo. He didn’t know if he would kill Harry or not, but he knew he needed to meet with his old friend at least one last time. Brandon turned around heading in the direction of Tokyo.

Meanwhile

“Damn…if I’m going to hire a private investigator I’m going to need two things. Ones pretty easy.” Shadow Dokuko held out one hand and a wad of cash formed from some naites. “But I’m also going to have to try to pass myself off as a regular human.” Dan had always hated shopping with a scathing passion and that was one thing that had not changed. But it still didn’t feel right using her stuff, she’d just leave it here for when Dokuko got back. There was one thing Dokuko had never actually gotten around to wearing though.

A bit later

Mr Yamamura was a middle aged man who worked as a private eye, he was an unkempt scruffy looking man. It had been pretty slow lately in the past month he'd only had a few cases of suspicious husbands asking him to investigate their wives. As he walked into his office he took out a cigarette and lit it. But just as he took his hand away he felt the air move right in front of his face along with a slashing noise. The severed end of his cigarette fell to the floor.

"Hehehe...I always wanted to do that!"

"Wha-what the hell?" Sitting on the other end of the room was a girl wearing what looked like a red bunnygirl style costume. She had pale white skin and pale white hair. He couldn't see her eyes because she was wearing dark sunglasses. "Who are you? How the hell did you get in here?"

"You don't need to know my name. I just want to hire you for a case!"

"Like hell I'll take the case of some weirdo that sneaks into my office and won't even tell me their name." He looked down at the severed cigarette on the floor, did she do that? Howed she do it from way over on the other side of the room?

"You sure about that?" she took out a small suitcase and put it on his desk. "There's 50 million yen in here. I'll give you 500 million yen more if you can do what i want."

"Uhhh...wh-what exactly do you want?"

She handed him a piece of paper, on it was a list of names along with a short discription of each person.

"If you can find me any of these people then I'll consider you worthy of receiving the remaining payment. Some of them are illegals so they'll be more difficult to find, however others should be fairly easy." For the first time Mr Yamamura noticed she had pointy ears. What was with that?

Finding them as a group would have been easy, all she would have to do is wait around the gantz building and sooner or later they would come there. But she didn't trust that, there was no telling if the gantz ball had any sort of defense if an enemy was nearby, it might even teleport itself to another location. Also the fact that they would be together would make things quite a bit more difficult, she'd need to get much stronger before facing the gantzers as a group.

"Just find me one of those people."

"How exactly should I contact you?"

"Hmmm...that's a good question...hmmmm" She didn't have a phone or anything. She reached behind her back, her heard something that sounded like meat being cut and she handed him with looked to be the stub from the tip of a lizards tail or some sort of tentacle. "When you find something worth reporting, just stick this with one of your thumbtacs."

"What the hell is this supposed to be?"

"If you stick it with a thumb tac I'll know. In any case be sure to do a good job, you could be a very rich man soon." She got up and walked out of his office leaving the very confused Mr Yamamura behind. He looked in the suitcase, the money was real! He'd be able to take care of most of his debts with this. Although this case seemed questionable at best but at the same time he was curious as to what the hell this was all about, not to mention the fact that he was greedy for the large sum of money promised.

"Well looks like were back in business..." he said closing up the suitcase.

Life for JPimpin wasnt the same for him anymore. He doesn't know where his friends are, His dad of all people is missing, and he doesn't have anybody to turn to for help.

Since there was no home for him to go to he returned to his now ruined place of birth. No one was left in his village.

"Well it beats the streets." JPimpin headed for his father's house for refuge. sitting in the upstairs portion of the house He couldn't take the pain of his loses. He picked up his father's sword in both hands and held the blade to his neck but soon dropped it to the sound of footsteps.

He turnt and stared in disbelief.

"Isao, what are you doing here?" JPimpin had to ask.

"I felt that you were still around and wanted to see if you would be here waiting." Isao said nervously. JPimpin stood up and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"What happened since I was gone?" He was eager to know but he felt Isao knew something that would upset him. "Please tell me."

"OK."

Flashback (weird wavy screen thing happens)

"After the mission we noticed you didn't show up."

Takeshi, Naru, Sai, and Isao met up and wondered about JPimpin.

"Where's that dumbass at now?" Sai asked his friends.

"Don't say that about Saizoru, he's the reason why we're so good." Takeshi said to Sai. Sai just scoffed at the fat lard's statement.

"Well he'll probably show up when we finish, remember the mission in the winter?" Naru added. the rest had there shares of 'Ohh' and 'Oh yeah' and continued.

"But you didn't show up after like we thought you would, everyone ended up serching for you, but there was no progress."

"I couldn't shake the feeling that you had died but I know you didn't cuz you promised."

All the people in the village are gathered to a stone for some sort of ritual.

"We held a funeral for you since we thought you died."

Everyone there cried except for JPimpin's father. After the bulk of the group left the four left of the group stayed longer to mourn. Isao was crying her eyes out while the others comforted her. "We know what you gotta do." Sai patted her on the back and motined for them to leave her.

"I was in so much disbeleif I went out and looked for you weeks at a time, but I wasnt the only one who took it hard."

JPimpin's father drank himself into a depression that even brought down people around him.

"Your father ende up dying from liver failure not to long after your funeral."

End of flashback.

JPimpin wanted to cry but he remembered his vow.

"Isao, what happened to our friends." Isao was reluctant to answer.

"Sai was the only one who saw yourdeath as an oppritunity to rise in rank."

"What about Takeshi and Naru?" JPimpin felt that since Sai had a good run after he was gone.

"They died." JPimpin now knew that couldn't be true.

"Sai did it, he went crazy with power and killed them and everybody here, I didn't die because I was away." Isao now told him everything.

JPimpin picked up his sword and placed it in the sheathe. "I would tell you where I have been but I can't and I have stuff to take care of." JPimpin gathered his things and readied himself to leave.

"Saizoru, where ever you're going let me go with you." JPimpin snikered at the name. "I haven't been called that in ages, but now that your coming with me it's JPimpin." Isao's eyes lit up as she clenched onto him.

"I promise that this time I will not die or disappear as long as you're with me."

Tori looked towards Tjad shocked that he knew Miles and was around his age but she never seen him at school or anything. "Miles...who was that boy just now?"

GmR stood and smiled at her and Tjad's back," A friend Tori, a friend."

She only smiled and left it as that. Her smile left her face as she watched the jock stand with a look of horror in his face at Miles. He could be seen fleeing moments after with his tail between his legs long giving up his macho additude.

GmR heard him leave and looked down losing his smile as quickly as he had gotten it,"Your right, ya know...I have changed."

The silence that issued besides the plop of a thousand raindrops proved him to be right. His head raised to look at her as if he could see her. She noticed this and turned away. "You've lost it Miles...I don't know what but there use to be a glow in you...now it seems as if its gone and you've given up...why is that?"Tori questioned still not looking into his vacant stare.

"You wouldn't understand...My father"

"Understand what about that asshole? Why are you blaming yourself for something that wasn't your fault. He deserved it how he treated you! Don't feel that you deserve to give him anything!"

GmR sighed before nodded slowly. moving his hand outward he felt the rain pelting against his gloved hand."Sorry, your all wet."

Tori sighed and said,"Don't sweat it, I still have to come over and cook for you still!"

The lad's expression took a double take before backing away,"No way! Your not coming over my junky ass house!" Though just as he said this he covered his mouth. "I-uhh-I mean..."

Her face formed into a sly grin before she began to interrigate him.

" You must live like a slob without a women around to keep you in place! Well see this as your lucky day cause now I'm not taking no for an answer..." As she stated this she walked towards him and poked his chest menacingly. As she pushed he stepped back and suddenly he tripped bringing her down with him. Her hair in her eyes and she laughed at his clumsyness and he fumed.

However just then they both noticed eachother's closeness and Tori moved closer as their lips were destined to meet.

2 days later

As expected some of the people she had wanted him to find were difficult. However there were a few of them that had been fairly easy. It didn’t really matter she had only asked him to find one of them, one was all he needed. Mr. Yamamura pulled up in front of Gmr’s school after the classes were over. The person he was looking for was supposed to be blind. He took something out of his pocket that looked like a severed lizard tale and looked at it dubiously.

“If you find anything prick this with one of your thumb tacs.” Would she really be able to tell? He must have been a madman taking on a case as insane as this but money talks. Oddly the flesh of the strange appendage didn’t seem to have dried out at all, was it just his imagination, or had the part that had been cut started to heal? He stuck the thumb tac into it, the strange tale like appendage twitched slightly when he did this startling the private detective. He stuck it in his pocket and looked around, she was nowhere to be seen , not that any rational person would expect such a thing to happen. Well it didn’t matter, this case was so weird, he wanted to find out what was going on himself.

Mr Yamamura got out and began to look for Miles Inwich, he shouldn’t be too hard to spot in a school full of Japanese kids.

Somewhere on the other side of town

“Hmmm…he found something did he?” Shadow Dokuko said looking up from a slimy onion that someone had dropped on the ground. The onion didn’t appear to be special to the naked eye, but the slime covering it was a chemical compound that didn’t seem normal. She could detect chemical footprints invisible to humans heading off in another direction. Could it be traces left by an alien? She’d invesitigate it later, right now there were more important things to attend to. Her human like body transformed, her skin became covered in armored scales, dorals fins grew from her back along with a long slender tail with a spike on the end of it. Her dorsal fins glowed white hot catching several things on fire right before she fired off two rocket like jets from the bottoms of her feet shooting into the air in a huge rocket boosted leap. She soared over an entire black before landing on top of a moving truck.

“What the hell was that thud?” the truck driver asked himself right before he heard something like a rocket launching, the next moment the top of his truck had caught on fire. Continuing on like this Shadow Dokuko was steadily homing in on the signal the tip of her severed tentacle was sending out.

Back at Gmr’s school

As Gmr began to leave he could hear a ringing sound in his head, it would be time to return to gantz soon.

“Uh, excuse me, would it be alright if I asked you a few questions?” Gmr heard a man call out to him. He turned to see a middle aged scruffy looking man running towards him. This wasn’t good, he couldn’t let someone see him get transported.

Somewhere else

“This Dr. Gaylord will be your private test facility. You’ll be reporting to the normal lab as usual to keep up appearances, but after you finish your work there you’ll be coming here afterwards to take care of millenions org man project and other things the other gantzers might not approve of.”

“I see, you did find me some suitable test subjects? Both living and dead?”

“Yes, recently I’ve had Bunji and his men go out and destroy the remainder of Shirows clan. A number of the bodies are inside. Several liver prisoners will be rbought here as well later tonight, Ballad Bird Lee insisted on softening them up first to make sure they don’t think of resisting.” Ballad Bird Lee was one of Harries four most trusted subordinates along with Bear Walkan, Bob Poundmax and Bunji Kugashira. Of the four of them Ballad Bird Lee was the most sadistic and cruel but was also the most skilled in melee combat.

It was then that they both heard the ringing in their heads. “Uhoh looks like its time. Good luck Dr I’m counting on you to not get yourself killed.”

“You too, it wouldn’t do if I couldn’t get those other things you promised me in return for doing this.” Dr. Gaylord replied before they both vanished.

[®onnie ®ude]

(OOC: GmR can't see lol he's blind.)

GmR sighed hearing the man's pace quicken.'What am I going to do?' GmR thought to himself.

His mind then had been set on one thing,'I can't let him see Gantz teleport me!'

Quickly he made a break for it through a nearby alley way pushing past a few homless people and apologizing. His suit made his speed quicken. As he was running he hit a dead end and stomped his feet frustratingly. As he did so his feet hit the railing of a gutter. 'Hmm'

Taking his plan into action he jumped up and down through the drain landing in the sewer luckily on his feet. Though soon he made haste through the sewers.

Miles knew he had no idea where he was going but, sooner or later he'd arrive in the Gantz room.

[jjrev609]

"It's that ringing again, she can't see me teleport." JPimpin had the consequences of reveiling Gantz on his mind. He clutched his head to try and tried to stedy his vision while he looked back at Isao.

"Hey, I got some stuff to do so I'll see you in a day or so." JPimpin swiftly stepped to Isao and kissed her on the cheek. "Bye." Isao placed her hand where he had kissed her and watched him run off.

"Saizoru I know you'll come back, besides if you don't who will I marry?"

JPimpin ran with great haste through the woods that enshrouded his village.

"Well at least she's still the same." He thought to himself still running. Before he had been to Gantz JPimpin really had no purpose in life except living the life of a ninja, but now he has a reason to live, keeping Isao's beautiful smile on her face.

"Damn I'm getting soft."

[Defectron]

Mr Yamamura stopped and clutched his side, how the hell could that guy run so fast? And he was blind too, shouldnt he have run into something? It was no use now, he'd never catch up to him. Suddenly he felt some wind, it felt like something shot past him really fast but he didnt see anything.

After a few minutes of waiting in the sewer.

Gmr heard some splashes in the water, that guy couldn't still be following him now? Who the hell was he?

"You had to run to the sewers...jeez, couldnt you have picked some place a little less wet and stinky to hide in?" he heard a familiar voice.

"Dokuko?"

"Not quite."

"What do you mean?" Gmr got ready for a fight just in case.

"Easy there, I didn't come to fight, you tried to help us back then so I won't do anything to you now. I just want to ask you two questions. One, do you know what happened to Dokuko? And two , do you know where I can find Tjad?"

Before Gmr could say anything the top of his head began to vanish.

"H-hey! Wait! Damn...I was too late..." he heard her say as he dissapeared.

[Shad²]

Tjad was sitting on Suzuka's rooftop admiring the stars. He'd put a matresse on the roof so he could lie down. Tjad was waiting to be transported. While he was waiting he was thinking about he'd do this next mission. he wouldn't kill any aliens that's for sure. But if one of Indra's friends shows up. He'll have no choice. Tjad had refilled his pepperbomb belt. He held his hand open and formed a diamond in it. For a few minutes he looked at it.

''I need to find a more effective way to use this weapon.''

Just then he heard a ringing sound. Tjad stands up and looks at up.

''Alright then''
