The 1^st Hunt

[/size][/center]

"This Place Is A Maize"

In an abandoned apartment a black ball began to materialize. Its shadow stretched throughout the room opposite of the window on its left. In the nearby window the sun shined brightly over Tokyo tower that seemed to peek its radiant rays into the room. In mere moments on the ball a message appeared...

"What a lovely day." Then in an instant a red beam shot out from it. Instead of hitting anything really it began to shape a small creature. It seemed to be a a small chimp wearing a black suit with nodes all over it. In its hand it was holding a small plastic hammer that it began to wave in the air as it screeched in protest. The black ball seemed to only ignore it as it began to hop around in place.

The ball sweat dropped for a moment before the chimpanzee regained its composure and dropped its toy hammer to do a series of hand gestures,"Why is Jomo here, again?" is what a person who knew sign language could translate it as.

A green text began to show on the ball once again in response to this, "Now your speaking my language, were going to have fun of course!"

The chimp didn't seem to like the way the ball had said that. Jomo as if it frightened the hell out of it began to break into another of its fits of screeches and primal screams. Drowned out by the noise another beam shot out and caused it to duck as a new being began to form. With widened eyes it looked behind itself at the shape forming. It was starting all over again...

[Benry]

Just a moment before he was running for his life, escaping the FBI agents. After that fun night with that woman, why did he had to kill her? These were his thoughts while running against the agents. He was so used to it, that it did not scare him anymore. However, he made a mistake this time. Being slow on evading the FBI, T-Bag felt a sharp pain on his back. He understood immediately what it was as his knees paralized and he dropped on the ground almost instantly.

[i[Dammit! They hit me..." As he was crawling with his fingers on the ground, eyes wide open, blood poured out of his mouth. He wanted to escape, he didn't want to be caught. The FBI agents got close to him. "End of the road for you, Theodore." These were the last words T-Bag heard before he passed away.

But that was just a word. The next moment he opened his eyes, he found himself in on the ground, something black was in front of him. He got up. He was in a small japanese apartment with a black ball in the middle. "What the hell is goin' on?" He put his hand on his back. The pain was gone! It didn't matter what had happened! He was alive and well. But he was sure as hell confused.

After some time thinking, he heard a noise from his back. When he turned his head, he saw a chimp. He was looking at him. T-Bag was speechless. In fact, he didn't know what to think.
"What the fuck is going on...?"

[Dane]

Dane sang to himself as he closed up the Comic book shop.
"Don't stop believin'. Hang on to that Feelin' yeah!" he murmered out of boredom.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a man running towards him.
"Gimme the keys!" The man yelled, mistaking the store keys for car keys.
"What? These aren't-!" Dane said before the shot went off.
BLAM!
Dane felt the burning lead rip through his chest and out of his back.
"GYAUGH!" he yelled as the lights slowly faded from his vision. He crashed to the ground. He could barely see as the mugger realized that the keys were to the store. "Dumbass." Dane chuckled with his dying breath and thought of his friends.

"..." His eyes reopened. "Um... Okay..." he said to himself as he stood up. He was in an apartment. It was completely bare except for a big black sphere in the middle of the room. There was also a chimp in a strange suit and a man.
"Do you know what's going on?" he asked the man.

[Benry]

T-Bag ood in awe as a man materialized right in front of him. What the fuck was going on. After the man materialized, he got up. he seemed to be japanese.
"These guys are all the same..."

When he got up he went close to T-Bag and muttered something. However T-Bag didn't understand a shit what he was saying. Ignoring the chimp, T-Bag said:
"Uhhh...english? Do, you, speak, english?"

[Dane]

((Born in England, and raised in America, actually! I'll just say he's lived in Japan for a few years.))

"Yeah." Dane said to the man. He clearly didn't speak Japanese. "Do you know what's going on?" Dane said in English.

((Throughout the mission, I'll translate for you if you want as long as I'm alive.))

[jjrev609]

Lasers shot out and formed a young man in an all black suit. He materialized on his hands and knees and slowly rose his head. Tam saw a bkack ball, two men, and a chimp. He stood up and scratched his head trying to figure out where he was. First he was in an underground fight ring and now an apartment. Tam set his back against the nearest wall and stared at gantz in deep thought.

[Benry]

((Yeah that would be cool, however be warned that my character is a psychopath =) ))

T-Bag's eye twiched. This guy was clearly not from Japan either. He looked like an American, just like him. He probably knew japanese too, so he might be useful in understanding what was going on.

"I'm sorry but i just recently got here myself." said T-Bag joking. "You certanly seem to be a fellow american, maybe we can help each-other?"

[Dane]

"English, actually. I just lived in America." Dane said, smiling.
Wait... he thought to himself. Why am I standing here chatting? What the hell is going on!?
"But sure... I could help out." This guy didn't seem to know any more than Dane knew.

[Kramarr]

Kramarr walked out of the Casino with a cigar in his mouth.

"Twelve grand for 11th place, motherfucker!"

he walked towards the end of the sidewalk when he heard screaming and roaring engines. Kramarr saw a black mustang coming his way with two cop cars behind it.

One of the cops took a clean shot through the already broken back windshield and hit the guy in his shoulder. The man jerked the wheel in pain heading straight for Kramarr. Kramarr tried to run back towards the casino when the car plunged into him.

Kramarr opened his eyes to fnd three random dudes and a chimp in a black suit.

Kramarr slowly took a cigar out of his pocket and placed it in his mouth.

"So this is hell eh?" Kramarr smirked as he lit his cigar and observed the men before him.

[Dane]

"Hell?" Dane asked. "Are you saying that we're dead?"

[Kramarr]

Kramarr took the cigar out of his mouth so he could speak clearly.

"I have no clue kid I'm as blank as you are, but do you not remember dying?"

"I remember a mustang coming at me at about 80..What's your story?"

[ippothedestroyer]

"A Coffee shop in Japan"

While in the middle of a conversation with a female classmate at a local coffee shop, A bank robber enters the coffee shop to evade the police that a chasing him. The robber points his gun at the patrons of the coffee shop and tells everyone to get on the ground. Everyone responds to his request and begin to lay on the ground. Kyuzo being careless wanting to impress the girl slowly crawls behind the counter. He is now behind the robber thinking of what to do and sees that there is nothing around that he can use, he decides to rush the robber from behind. Just as he was about to take him down the robber turns around and shots him in the chest.Kyuzo not knowing hes been hit wrestles the gun away from the robber and gives it to the store clerk. After he gets back to reality he notices that hes been shot and goes down to one knee. Knowing he is about to die soon since the wound is very bad he confesses his love to the girl and wishes her a happy life.

Soon afterwards Kyuzo opens his eyes and finds himself in a room with 4 people and a mokey wearing a black suit.

Kyuzo puts his hand on his chest trying to find the bullet hole.Its not their not even a scratch is there.

He looks around the room and notices the black ball and the 4 other people in the room.He approaches them and says"

"Whats going on?"

[Dane]

"Shot... I think. I'm not sure what's real right now." Dane said to the man.

Another person materialized into the room.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"We're not actually sure." Dane said. "But we might be dead."

[KßзŁŁ]

Zerojii crawled through the air ducts of the office building quickly but silently. A smile found its way to his face as he realized he had reached his destination. Deftly unscrewing the bolts to the vent below him with his bare hands, he slowly lifted the grating out without making a sound. He slowly lowered his head out of the vent, checking the room below him out completely. He saw a man sitting in a chair working on his computer. The man fit the description of Zerojii's mark. `Time for you to meet your ancestors,` Zerojii thought to himself. He let his head and shoulders go past the thresh-hold of the vent, and then dropped out, completing his forward roll and landing on his feet.

"What's that?! Who's there?!" The man at the computer shouted, jumping out of his seat. He rushed to the wall and began punching in numbers on a keypad, not being able to see Zerojii in the poorly lit room. "I know why you're here. They made me do it! They have my family! Please, let me finish my work!" The man didn't know it, but it was already too late for him. Zerojii was already half-way to the man, and he was still undetected. He tossed a 100 yen coin across the room. It clattered against a window. Immediately, the man pulled out a pistol and started shooting wildly. "I KNOW YOU'RE THERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" *click, click, click* went the man's gun... he was out of bullets. The gunshots had only made it easier for Zerojii to sneak up behind the man without being heard. Once Zerojii had made it there, he unsheathed his katana and quickly sliced the man's head off at the neck. Zerojii walked over to the computer and looked at it. There were pictures and diagnostics of strange guns, a hand held looking device, a suit, a katana, a strange wheel shaped vehicle, and a ball. The ball seemed to have a person inside of it, as well as some of the weird looking guns and a few boxes. "What the..." Zerojii began... then, he heard a loud *beep*. "Fuck." Zerojii said as he saw an LED readout on the keypad the man had been pressing numbers into go from 00:01 to 00:00. Zerojii could only stand there as the entire building exploded, taking Zerojii along with it. He saw his body and arms rip apart and disintegrate, then, there was only black...

Suddenly, Zerojii opened his eyes. `Was it a dream?` He wondered... until he saw the black ball. It was the same ball from the computer. Suddenly, Zerojii realized he wasn't alone. He readied his katana and backed himself into a corner. "What the fuck is going on?! Who are you people?! Where am I?!" He shouted in Japanese.

[Kramarr]

Kramarr spotted the black ball in the center of the room and stared at it for a few seconds,but quickly drew his attention away to focus on the people that were appearing in the room.

Kramarr could read most of these people already. He could tell that that one guy had some serious problems twitching his eyes and all. He thought he would stay away from him. The young man he spoke a few words with seemed to be honest.

He then heard the voice of another young man who just appeared

"what's going on?"

Kramarr glared at him while he walked past him. He thought to himslef that they were going to hear a lot of that.

Kramarr then walked towards the ball where he saw the chinese man. He could tell right away that this guy wasn't a talker. He looked like he was really thinking about something. "He must be a fighter" Kramarr thought to himself.
Kramarr set himself up on the other side of the room where he stared at the man.

[Dane]

For the first time since he'd appeared in the room, Dane walked over to and inspected the ball. It was completely featureless and smooth. It gleamed in the soft light coming from the ceiling so that Dane could see himself in it.
"What is this?" he asked himself. Nobody in the room seemed to know what was going on or why they were there. This was getting really strange.

[ippothedestroyer]

Kyuzo inspects the black ball himself.

"What the hell is this thing " he says to himself. After a few minutes of looking at the ball he find himself a empty spot in the room.

He looks around and spots a man hold a katana and shouting at everyone in the room.

"what the fuck does he think hes gonna to do with that" Kyuzo whispers

[The Merc]

Lance layed on the floor, stomach down, and his head turned to the side as he felt his blood slowly seep out of him from his bullet wound. The damn cops got him before he could draw his gun and now he was in no shape to fight. He stared weakly at the scenery around him, or as much of it as he can, as he waiting for the cold embrace of death to finally take him. The urge to sleep eventually became to much and apon closing his eyes, his heart stopped as did his breath. What seemed like an eternity of darkness floated by before Lance could open his eyes again. He was laying down behind a black ball and he could hear chatter.

He moved around slightly on the floor to test his body for injuries, and suprisingly he found that his bullet wound had gone. He pushed himself up off the floor to a kneeling position before placing his hand against the windows next to him to help steady his feet. Oddly enough, his feet didn't need steadying but what suprised him more was he couldn't touch the window yet he could still feel some sort of pressure. He had a questioning look on his face as he shifted his gaze from the window to the rest of the room.

"So, what does six men, an ape and a giant black ball have to do with me? Is this some sort of new form of jail? Because that'd explain my inability to directly touch the windows here." Lance said in japanese, he had been learning it since a number of his clients ran jobs there. His face soon smoothed out into a calm face look as he watched all the others, waiting for a response.

[Dane]

Dane walked into the hallway. There wasn't really much there. A couple of doors, and a table. He walked to the door that he assumed led out. As he tried to touch the door handle, his hand was kept away from it.
"What the hell?" he said. He used both hands and pushed as hard as he could, but he couldn't get through to the handle.
Dane walked back into the main room and looked out the large window that took up most of the wall east of the ball. He could see Tokyo Tower and even his school. He wondered if he was really dead.
Well, he thought. Not much else I can do right now. He sat against one of the walls.

[KßзŁŁ]

No one seemed to be paying much attention to Zerojii; everyone seemed as baffled at what was going on as he did. `Fuck,` he thought, `I better stop drawing attention to myself.` Zerojii kept his back up against the corner, and his katana ready to cut anyone that looked dangerous.

[Benry]

T-Bag had stayed silently as the new people had come. He didn't know what was going on but he would not stay there and find. The FBI agents would search for him! If he had escaped, in an unknown manner, now it was not the time to rest. Besides he saw all those people confused in the room, he had an urge to kill them all...

He quickly went to the hallway and to the door. But when he tried to grab the door handle, he could not grab it. Shit! What the fuck is going on! I hate being surrounded by japanese... He kicked the door but it would not open. "Ahhh fuck! Fuck!!" He screamed as he entered the main room again.

[Kramarr]

Kramarr took his attention away from the chinese man when the guy who he thought must be insane came through the main room screming.


Kramarr: "We stuck in here or what?" he said to the crazy looking guy.

[®onnie ®ude]

All the people speaking in Japanese and not sign language frustrated Jomo. She knew how to read but that was it. She didn't know how to speak the language because she couldn't speak period. Running behind the ball remembering to take her plastic hammer she remained quiet as everyone began shouting things. She wanted to tell them of the grave danger they were facing but, she knew since she was only a chimp no one would listen to her. She would just have to hope that the ball explained what she couldn't.

She knew she was safe here from Zerojii, the man she labeled "the scary loud human with the big sword" as well as the others who were present now. There weren't that many people participating the last mission. Maybe thats why it had been such a tragic experience for her.

When Theodore left to check the door another laser withdrew from the ball shaping another human. Instead of this one being a guy they were actually more feminine. When it finished shaping her form the blonde haired lady seemingly in her early twenties fell into Kramarr splattering small droplets of blood onto him that soon began to evaporate in thin air. Her gold locks of hair began to fall free from her face as she lay there unconscious for a matter of seconds. Then in an instant her eyes fluttered awake. and she began to look at the others in the room that had been staring at her for a moment. She wasn't half bad to look at either.

Pushing herself off of Kramarr that had now fallen in shock. She began to dust herself off and examine her camera that she held securely in her arms. She looked up from it for a moment and a ridiculous grin began to form on her face as laughter erupted from her, she seemed to be tearing up from just laughing at everyone around her.

Wiping a few stray tears from her eyes she began to speak through fits of chuckles,"Why the funny faces, you look like someone died!" When she said this she let her English-Australian accent flow fluidly.

Noticing that she was speaking English around a bunch of Japanese folk she bowed her head respectively allowing her blonde hair to bounce with a certain bubblyness. She was lucky she was Half-Japanese and knew the language well. So in Japanese she stated,"I am Tomoko Sakue, a photographer." After her introduction she raised her camera and began taking pictures of everyone's faces, wether they liked it or not.

Finally she aimed her camera at a chimp that was peeking out from behind a black ball. She called out to it,"Aww..come're you..." The chimp ducked behind the ball before peeking out again. After a moment or two she finally came out and stood near Tomoko curiosly.

"Do you want Tomoko to take your picture, yesh you do?" She coo'ed on.

Jomo liked her she was pretty funny with her bright hair, but she wanted a closer look at her camera. Snatching it Tomoko gave a startled cry before she smiled at Jomo's curious ways.

"Oh you want to take my picture, eh?" Tomoko asked in her best baby voice she could muster and began to run her fingers through her hair as if readying for a photo-shoot. The chimp ignored her with its gaze locked on the camera. Then quickly she stuck her tongue out at her and ran behind the ball again. Maybe she'd help this one particular human out.

"Hey thats-mine!" The Blondie called after it only to have her chase cut short as a beam shot through her stomach and began forming another girl's body. She was much shorter as well and seemed to be no older then 15.

Tomoko not seeing her appear began to knock on the ball trying to make the light appear again,"Jeeze I wish I still had my camera..." It wasn't everyday you'd see an inanimate object do something like that.

The girl who formed looked around her shyly and bit her lip. She was wearing a cheerleader's uniform and the last thing she remembered was...her eyes instantly widened and she shook her head."No-no-no, I can't be..." She whimpered looking at everyone else in the room."Who are you people?"

[Benry]

A T-Bag entered the room again, anothr laser shot ou. "Again?" He said bored. However that would change soon as a beautiful girl materialized. And she didn't loom japanese too! He realized this when she spoke in english. He licked his lips as he was getting close to her. he was looking at her directly into the eyes like a murderous beast. When he was getting close to her, another guy spoke, however T-Bag decided to ignore him since he was speaking japanese.
"Hey sweetie! Do you know what is going on here? I wonder myself why a piece of high class woman is doing in this place. It could be dangerous!" He whispered to her ear as he licked his lips again. Then another laser shot out. This time a sweet young japanese girl formed. She could be in her teens.
Oh sweet lord! Why did you bring me here? This must be fate. he said as he was looking to the girl. He was wondering if she still was a virgin...

[Dane]

Dane felt uneasy as he watched the english speaking man talk to the new girl. He had a dangerous look in his eyes. The guy must have forgotten that Dane spoke English as well. He decided he would step in if it turned violent.

On a sidenote, when the girl took his picture, he made a V for victory with his hand and smiled.
(Just thought that was funny.)

[KßзŁŁ]

Zerojii could give a shit less about all the commotion that was going on. He didn't even really care that his picture had been taken. He had been on a covert mission, but it wasn't like he was still in the building, and he wasn't standing next to a dead body or anything. Zerojii chuckled silently to himself as a monkey appeared from behind the ball and stole the blonde woman's camera. He noticed some people speaking English, but his command of the language was rudimentary, at best, so he simply ignored them. `So what the hell happens now...?` Zerojii wondered.

[The Merc]

Lance sighed and sat down underneath a window beside the ball, watching everything carefully. He reached inside his jacket and removed his custom built pistol, checking the clip to ensure everything was ready in case he'd have tofight. Things were getting strange, this didn't seem like a prison so much as a holding cell while judgement was passed, but what judgement was that? Lance began to size everyone else up in the room. He marked several people as "enforcers", while everyone else just seemed to be hopeless.

"Tell me, who else remembers dieing before coming here?" Lance shouted, to get everyones attention. He spoke his question in japanese first, before repeating it again in english just to make sure he got his message across. Although, he didn't stand up to make himself more noteable, he just stayed sitting and keeping his hand on his reholstered pistol beneath his coat.

[jjrev609]

Tam stayed quiet observing the others in the room. Noticing the new female additions and the one guy who made him feel uncomfortable.

I don't like him, why do i have the feeling he's gonna be the one to fuck with me? Tam shook off the thought and continued to observe every one. Still though he didn't understand what was going on. insted of asking Tam continued his silent observations and thoughts

[Defectron]

Suddenly more lasers shot out of the ball, a very strange looking guy began to materialize, it was a dirty looking kid with greenish colored hair. Over one eye was a black eyepatch with a red cross over it. Oddly enough on his head was a head band that had black cat ears on it, what was the deal with that? Kiba was easily most bizzare looking person in the whole room.

In one hand he was holding a dead deer by its throat. Upon materializing he dropped it looking around, a moment ago he had been blinded by what looked like a pair of head lights and now he was here. What was going on?

[Dane]

"Tell me, who else remembers dieing before coming here?" the man with the gun yelled.
"Why? Do you know what's going on?" Dane asked, standing up. He still kept an eye on the guy who he first talked to. (T-Bag) He suddenly didn't seem as friendly as he did before. There seemed to be a bunch of tough looking guys here.

(Also, since Kiba gets transported with the deer, wouldn't the deer come back to life?)
