2nd Hunt : "A Puppet and Its Master"

[Tame]

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief as he realised with utmost gratitude to the power of his suit that he was unharmed. For a moment after being blown backwards he had thought 'I'm dead!' As he lay on his back he observed that the room was filling with a green smoke, and hoped it wasn't gas. Either way he was scared to think what might leap from the smoke at any moment. He got to his feet and pointed his x-rifle forward in the direction of the stiars. Like most humans he felt a great desire to kill that which threatened him. Anthony was all too aware that his legs and hands were shaking. 'Pull yourself together, its just one little doll!' he told himself, but he was still terrified. 'Let it go for one of the others first, please...'

[®onnie ®ude]

Mako peered her eyes away from the fight to glance at Dane. He had a look of concentration on his face and she couldn’t help but, wonder why he hadn’t taken a single shot. It made her question whether or not he was just as baffled about the alien’s location as she was.

It was then that Dane pointed his X-Rifle at a single point in the air and held it there for a few seconds. He never took his eyes off the sky in order to determine if Bobbie's flight had a pattern, this meant the alien would be sure to follow the same pattern. In his scope view he could see them flying in loops around a few of the surrounding rows. On the crows’ third lap around, Dane saw his opportunity and fired his x-rifle twice.

The shot fired was noticed by Bobbie and caused him to swoop upward with the alien still in pursuit. Bobbie then looked back to see it copy him and he dropped the X-rifle he still currently held in his talons. The weaponry then made a clunking noise as it smacked its intended imposter. He then jeered off to the right and turned to see the alien smack into the ceiling and revert back to its original mime alien form. In this form the mime couldn’t continue flying and it had no choice but to free-fall back down to the area that Dane had just shot at.

At this time, Mako looked up instinctively in the direction that Dane finally chose to shoot. She expected nothing of the shot until her faith was rewarded with a gush of green goo that pelted down on them from above. “How’d you-”Mako began.

However, Dane interrupted her before she could finish, "W-wow.... sometimes video games actually help." he said aloud making Mako eye him weirdly. She wasn’t use to people who talked a lot about video games and she was pretty sure that she wouldn’t be found hanging around him a lot on any given day. Though, she couldn’t help but, feel a twinge of regret for feeling this way after he had tried to save her last mission.

“About last mission, I never got to-”She started but, was interrupted once again at the sound of a screech from Jomo-mo-mo’s direction.

The chimp was in a face off with a another mime alien. While she glared he grinned and they started to circle one another. The stare-off continued until Jomo raised her Y-Gun. She then fired and the mime alien made no effort to flee. He instead rolled up his sleeves and revealed his white gloved hands. The mime then proceeded to lay his hands out in front of him as if he were touching an invisible wall of some sort.

When the cables and cords of the Y-gun reached the mime the were surprisingly rendered useless. It seemed as if the mime had somehow created an invisible wall in front of him and it was shielding him from all attacks from this direction. It was a cheap but, effective trick that mimes were known to be able to do.

“What the hell?” Hope she shouted while also attempting to shoot the mime, “Why isn’t it hitting him?” She demanded. The mime just winked at her in response and began laughing soundlessly. He thought that the fact that they couldn’t touch him was just hilarious.

Ami Ryousuke looked down at Lance’s controller and back at the area where Kramarr had fallen. She didn’t know who the guy was but, she could see from the controller that the guy picked the wrong place to land. She didn’t know what the dots meant but, from the way how Lance had eyed them made them appear as if they were an inconvenience.

She bit her lip and looked at Lance as he began to speak, "Yeah, seems there are quite a few over there, we need to find somewhere more easily defended, or at least more recognizable..." he spoke quietly, trailing off slightly at the end as he looked around and back at his controller.

Ami wanted to know what those dots represented but, she didn’t want to hinder him. He must have known what he was talking about and even if she wanted to ask him his attention was already on Kiba and Jay Wilson.

"Hey, I say we move to the stage, there's some targets near there but we should now be more then enough to handle them now, and once where're there, I bet we can turn the lights on this place so anything that tries to get near us will be spotted and shot down with plenty of breathing room. You two in?" Lance asked them.

Jay nodded in agreement at the plan while Kiba voiced his verbal agreement, "Yeah that sounds like a good plan, fighting in the dark isn't a good idea." he agreed and concentrated on his surroundings.

Lance then looked at Ami and she looked up to meet his eyes. "Remember, pull both triggers to fire, and if it looks like you wont get it, move around me, these suits have a few abilities that will allow me to survive better then you. When we get back to the room, make sure to grab yours." He whispered to her.


She nodded and looked down at her X-gun while hugging her plushy a little bit tighter. Behind her and in the darkness a mime alien began to crawl toward her. When it reached her it peered under her legs and a sick grin was plastered on its face as it saw her ‘hello-kitty’ panties. It then licked its lips and looked at the legs of the other gantzers. As soon as it noticed that it wasn’t detected it’s hand reached up at the piece of ‘poon-tang pie’ that hovered over his head.

Ami’s face immediately flushed red and she looked around her, “S-Something is t-touching m-me!” she squeaked and sure enough if the other gantzers were to look down they’d see a single mime alien running a small chubby hand along her thigh. “Get it off me, please!” she screamed once again and caused the mime alien to glare up at the others.


-----


Anthony was lucky, the alien had been planning on making him her first playmate the moment he got to his feet and pointed his x-rifle at her. She liked fear and it appeared to be accumulating from him the most. She licked her lips and prepared to throw her ball at him until she heard another click right in front of her. Someone had shot not once but, multiple times. This made her grin, because she would enjoy her new toys.

Tam was the individual that had been scoping her out. When the first shots were fired they belonged to none other than him. After pressing the triggers multiple times he smirked to himself. He then attempted to run up the stairs. What he didn’t notice was the moment he looked away from his scope the Lonely Marionette Alien did a cartwheel to the left avoiding all the shots that were fired.

The alien then proceeded to giggle in the green smoke as Tam tackled the steps two at a time, “Aw, don’t leave yet!”she pouted before continuing, “The fun has just begun!” was the last Tam heard before he felt a ball smack into his head. The force of the blow caused him to lose his balance on the steps and fall face first. He then began to roll back down into the lobby. The entire scene made the marionette erupt into fits of giggles.

"Damn it bitch!"Theodore cursed and rose to shake off the ‘cob-webs’. "You wanna play? I'll play!" He screeched and lifted his x-rifle. Instead of using the scope like last time he pressed the first button and the x-ray appeared on screen. On the screen he could see skeletons of everyone in the room. It was true vision that wouldn’t be swayed by the alien’s pathetic smoke screen. The screen showed that the alien didn’t have an skeleton but, a bright light that appeared to be whirling inside it. He aimed at that figure and then pressed both triggers and shot.

During the alien’s laughter it didn’t appear to notice that Theodore was targeting it until it was nearly too late. Before the blast erupted the marionette was only able to shift her head to the side. When the effects of the blast subsided, she was left standing with a part of her pigtail blown off. She appeared to not notice this until felt her face to see if anything was missing. It was then that she ran her chubby hand along her hair to discover what in fact had been missing.

Green tears began to fall from her eyes, “My hair!” She cried, “Its ruined!”

The ball in her hand appeared to pulsate for a moment before spikes protruded from it. A sinister and almost maniacal grin was present on her face as she scouted out the occupants of the room, “Now I’ll ruin you!” she screeched.


Raito on the other hand, covered his mouth just incase the green gas was toxic and called out to the others, “Is everyone okay?”

The Marionette alien looked in his direction and grinned venomously, “Everything’s fine…” she stated in a sing-song voice.

Meanwhile, in the restroom, Kazuki Masatoshi stepped into the men’s bathroom. The first thing he did was approach the sink and gave a deep sigh. He then turned on the faucet and looked at his reflection. There he saw himself and behind him…

“Hello mate, could you spare some toilet paper?” the clown in the mirror asked politely before erupting into laughter. He appeared to be sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper. Why he was there was the real question that plagued the doctor’s mind rather then what he was doing.

“Holy shit!” Kazuki shouted, turning and looking behind him to see nothing but, a open stall and a newspaper on the floor.

Kazuki sighed in relief and splashed water on his face. He probably believed he was just seeing things and the water would help calm his nerves. “Dude, there’s no such thing as ghosts and aliens. Especially in public bathrooms…”he reassured himself and reached out for something to wipe his face.

Finally a towel was handed to him, “Thanks dude,” he whispered before his eyes widened and he saw the same clown from before.

The clown grinned, “But, clowns do exist!” he insisted before winking.

This scared the hell out of Dr. Masatoshi and he took shelter in the bathroom stall. Inside the stall he readied his x-gun in his hand. He could still hear the clown alien laughing and if it decided to open that door, the doctor would give it just what it ordered.

“I don’t know what you are man, but stay the hell away from me, man!” Kazuki warned.

Suddenly Kazuki could here a sizzling noise as a liquid hit his shoulder and left a puddle on the floor. He then looked up to the ceiling to see the clown alien with his clown penis hanging out. He apparently was urinating while balancing himself on top of the adjacent stall.

“Look out beloooow, expecting some showers!!!” The clown cackled as he aimed for Kazuki’s head.

“Dude, cut it out!” Kazuki replied while gargling on urine. It was then that realization hit. His tongue was starting to burn along with his shoulder. It appeared as if the urine contained some type of acid that at first was eating through his clothes and now his skin.

"Ah, ha, ha! You crack me up!"the Clown Puppet laughed.

“Ah, it burns!” Kazuki cried and tried to stand only to notice that his leg was no longer there. In its place was a bone that was slowly being dissolved by acid.

“It burns for me too ‘sunny’, just like pissing out Tabasco!” the clown chuckled all while wincing and sighing in relief to prove his point.

In a matter of moments Kazuki was no more. In his place was a puddle of blood mixed with urine, a half melted x-gun and a controller that appeared to be floating in the toilet. Before the controller short-circuited a picture of the clown alien displayed on it along with its information…

The mime alien didn’t expect Zerojii to see through its disguise so easily. The consequence was fatal and it resulted in having Zerojii’s katana pierce through the poser Tomoko’s head. The impact was unexpected by the alien and its eyes grew wide as green blood squirted and pelted Zerojii in the face.

With the alien laying defeated, Zerojii looked in the direction of where he had left his controller to see a faint light emitting from it. However, when he turned he came face to face with a mirror image of himself. The alien looked down at it’s fallen comrade and watched as it returned to it’s original form and dissolved into a green goo. The katana that was still in its head proceeded to fall after having no support and the Zerojii alien couldn’t keep its eyes off it.

When it did, its eyes glanced at its own two hands as two katana shafts began to form in each hand. It then quickly retracted both katanas and looked back at the real Zerojii with a satisfied expression. It seemed to have learned how to imitate the gantz weaponry at will. It also knew to learn from other’s mistakes.

In Zerojii’s head he could hear, “Anything you can do, I can do better!” as if it were a jab directed at him from the imposter Zerojii.


-----


Meanwhile, Tomoko attempted to wrestle Kramarr off over her. However, without knowing how to use the suit’s true potential her attempt to resist was futile. Kramarr’s hands then found their way to her neck and they began to squeeze as if trying to choke the life out of her.

‘This can’t be Kramarr! He would never hurt me!’ She thought to herself and looked to her left to see her X-rifle that was a few inches out of arm’s reach, ‘If I can just reach it! Maybe I can knock some sense into him!’



-----


On the same floor, Takase grabbed the katana and held it as if it were a baseball bat. “Come and get a lickin’!” Takase shouted.

He gripped the katana and swung with all his might at one that had tried to jump at him from behind a seat. The blow would have been more lethal if he were wearing a suit but, the hit caused the mime alien to fly back a few meters. “I-I actually hit it. I could do this hero routine.” Takase mused going as far as patting himself on the back.

Montezno shook his head and readied his katana for the second mime alien. Instead of attacking, the mime alien acted as if it were rolling something into a ball before throwing it in Montezno’s direction. The action made the veteran laugh and catch something that was hard and round. He then tossed it up and mimicked Takase’s usage of the katana.


Takase glanced over at Montezno to see his suit bulk up before he swung his katana at a clunk of invisible matter. The hit was dead center and it sent the matter in the direction of the mime alien's head. Try as it might to form an invisible barrier it was far too late and the mime was greeted with a grapefruit sized hole in it's head. Its small body then grew limp as it fell back on the seat it was standing on.

Montezno smirked as he watched it dissolve into green goo, “Jeez, I have no idea what the hell it thought it was gonna do with that…” was his humorous statement.

Romney then looked to his right to see that Takase hadn’t killed his alien yet. He pointed toward it stating, “Were not done yet,” before he readied his katana and suggesting for Takase to do the same.


-----


On the first floor, Kramarr and Seth were surrounded by four mime aliens. The closer they came the more the two men pressed their backs against the walls. It appeared as if Seth had the attitude but, not the will to shoot the weapon in his hands. Kramarr knew very well by the expression on the man’s face.

“Well if you not going to shoot, then what’s the point in carrying all those guns. Your useless!” Kramarr accused and stared back at the aliens that stopped advancing.

“I know! I know! I get it already, damn!” Seth replied before he followed Kramarr's eyes.

The Mime Aliens frowned in sync and started to create an invisible wall. After each of them created a wall they began pushing it in the direction of the gantzers as if they were going to crush them. While this was happening, Kramarr and Seth both looked at each before a giant invisible wall was pressed against them.

“Ugh…Its like a giant transparent wall that’s closing in!” Kramarr winced in pain as he tried to push the wall with no avail.

“What the hell is going on!!!” Seth replied as the wall gave him no room to push or anything. He could hardly even breathe. Not to mention that he was claustrophobic. “Alright I’m sorry, just get me out of here. I can hardly breathe in here!” Seth gasped out as he could feel the wall pressing against his cheek.

Kramarr turned to look at Seth who was pressed tightly against the wall with his suit beginning to drip blue blood, “Hang on, okay!” the gambler cried and attempted to push the invisible wall. On the opposite side he could see two Mime aliens struggling to push it. “You little bastards!” He shouted.


Seth began coughing out blood, “I don’t want to die…I have a girlfriend…” he coughed out before he was crushed by the invisible wall.

The two mimes gave a sigh of relief after crushing Seth behind their invisible wall. What remained of the guy was a crushed mash of black leather, skin, tissue and bone. It was a disgusting sight to behold but the mimes were enjoying everything about it.

They then looked in Kramarr’s direction as he was struggling with his wall. Then much to his dismay the two mimes proceeded to help the other two push the wall. This made it four to one which was even more unfair than it already was.

“I’m not going to die like this!” Kramarr shouted and tried to keep the wall from closing in.

Connection Lost...

[The Merc]

Lance was about to begin stepping towards the stage when he heard Ami's statement. He swung around imeadiately, intending to slide his spare arm around her waist and using the power of the suit to more easily lift her up and move her behind him, and with his other arm, point the rifle at where she was just standing, taking a moment to actually try and identify if there was anything, he then pulled both triggers at the mime on the ground.

"Everything here's a fucking pervert..." Lance grumbled as he fired, preparing to dodge or defend against any attack that the creature might have.

[Dane]

Dane looked towards Hope and Jomo and saw that they couldn't hit the alien. It seemed to have made an invisible wall of pure mime evil in front of it.
"You've gotta be kiddin' me!" he said. He walked over to Hope. "Hey, maybe it can't hit us either through the wall." he said. "It might work both ways."

[Defectron]

Sheathing one of his swords, Kiba ripped one of the chairs out of the ground with his other hand, once he got a clear view of the mime he'd throw the chair at it and attack with his sword while it was destracted. But lance and Ami were in the way, was that things still on her leg? "I hate clowns! I'm gonna kill that space clown!" it was a mime, but to Kiba there was little difference. He didn't know much about clowns, but one time when he was a kid, he and Oniko had gotten lost in the woods and had a bad experience involving a group of people who appeared to be clowns. He'd never forgotten what happened that day.

[KßзŁŁ]

Zerojii sliced through the air with his katana, slinging the remaining goo off of the blade. `Anything, eh?` Zerojii wondered. Switching to a one handed pose, Zerojii reached down to his left holster with his left hand to pull up his y-gun. "Hope you can grow some more arms motherfucker," Zerojii said as he fired a shot from the y-gun at the mime, hoping to catch him off guard with the net and move in to take his head during the brief moment of shock. If these mimes could copy the gantzer's weapons as well as their appearances, Zerojii definitely couldn't let this one walk away from their battle. Zerojii would be careful to keep his katana in a defensive position, ready to ward off any blade strikes until he was sure that the mirror version of himself was tied up by the y-gun shot. If all this thing could do was imitate, then Zerojii would just show every card in his hand as quickly as possible, denying his enemy time to examine his technique.

[Tame]

Anthony watched as the alien enemy faught off the combined attacks of Tam and Theodore, wishing every second that they would kill her. As with frustration he watched her evade all the blows the ball in her hand appeared to pulsate for a moment before spikes protruded from it. A sinister and almost maniacal grin was present on her face as she scouted out the occupants of the room, 'Now I’ll ruin you!' she screeched.

Anthony instinctively raised his x-rifle to point at the puppet and pulled both triggers, then as he hoped it had worked, he realised what he had just done - effectively thrown the first punch. Leaning forward onto the balls of his feet, he prepared to run for it if need be, from that weapon of the doll's.

[demonicmuse]

Jay looked over at Ami's scream and noticed movement near her legs. Looking down, he saw a strange looking mime creature. He aimed a katana at the creepy little thing and extended it, aiming to pierce the mime. He held his other katana ready, in case the little bugger dodged.

[Benry]

This smoke's annoying... T-Bag thought to himself as he heard the puppet girl become angry. "Time to clear it up!" He said as he used the x-rifle to see through the gas. He aimed the rifle at the left side of the puppet where there was a wall. He also remembered that a wall was there since he had saw it before the mist filled the place. T-Bag shot with the x-rifle several times, with both triggers at the wall. He hoped to make a big hole so the mist would go from the other side of the wall.

[Shad²]

“Everything’s fine…” she stated in a sing-song voice.

even though the voice sounded jolly it ran a chill up Raito's back. Instinctively he raised his gun to the direction of the voice. It was now clear that this was no ordinary situation and no ordinary means would solve it. It was now an eat or be eaten game and Raito's mind adjusted to the situation. He was ready to fire at anything that would approach and seem as a threat.

[jjrev609]

Tam rubbed his head where the ball had hit.

i got somethin for this little bitch Tam thought as he stood up. First he used his X-ray scope to find the puppets position. Insted of shooting at the puppet he held the X-rifle by it's barrel. He took a second to adjust his grip and took a practice swing with it as if it were a baseball bat. The triad smirked as he started to creep towards the little girl. When he wold start to get close he would break out into a quick sprint and use that momentum to generate more power in his swing.

[®onnie ®ude]

Dane looked on in shock,"You've gotta be kiddin' me!"he mumbled.

The mime alien’s grin only widened and watched as Mako attempted to fire at him as well. Each of her shots gave off a few explosions but, did not stray past the invisible barrier. “Theirs like some type of invisible wall!” Mako announced. She shot once again and let out an annoyed sigh, “Nothing’s working!” she added.

“No shit, bitch!” Bobbie chirped.

He now had his x-rifle in his talons and was going through great lengths to try and straighten it. It was impossible for a bird to shoot a gun but, especially one of that size, but he was persistent as always. Laws of physics wouldn’t stop Bobbie from trying, not one bit.

Mako gave him an irritated look. She didn’t appreciate being insulted by a bird. “Excuse me, What did-”She started to ask but, was interrupted by Bobbie, in which was happening a lot to her lately.

“Boo-yah, lets take out the big guns!” Bobbie boasted and barely scratched the two triggers with his talons. “Eck, can’t reach!” He chirped before the bird lost his balance and fell.

This left the girls at a loss of words. They didn’t really know how to react to Bobbie’s actions. However, Hope was the first to regain her composure and shout, “Your not helping you stupid damn chicken. Shut up before I shoot you instead!”

Bobbie frowned and ‘held his tongue’ while Dane approached her, "Hey, m-maybe it can't hit us either through the w-wall." he stammered.

Hope frowned in thought. He had a point but, that was far from her mind. She felt as if she wanted to be a lot closer to him than she already was. She didn’t recall ever having a physical attraction to him of all people, but something about him made her want to be closer.

She then focused on his cheek and her eyes started to trace his jawline until she reached his neck. Hope felt as if she had loathed the fact that his suit had been covering whatever skin was hidden underneath. She wanted to see his neck!

"It might work both ways." Dane finished, making Hope snap out of her stupor.

Mako refused to let the alien out of her sight, but she noticed something at the corner of her eye, “Hey, Hope? Is it?” she asked.

Hope nodded dumbly at the sound of her name before responding, “Hm?”

Mako nodded at her as she spoke, “Your drooling.”

Hope ran the back of her hand across her mouth and was surprised to see that Mako wasn’t lying. Not only did she feel pissed off but, she was confused as well. Why the hell would she waste saliva over someone like Dane?

Mako smirked at her, “I don’t mean to intrude but, now isn’t really the time to-”

“Shut the hell up!” Hope barked.

She ran toward Mako and pushed her roughly to the floor. The cheerleader had no choice but, to fall back and look up at her Gothic peer. When their eyes met Mako could have sworn she saw something different in them. Almost as if they were no longer humane.

“That ‘bish’ is crazy!” Bobbie screeched out.

The shove had been so quick that even Jomo had missed it and now was looking back to see Hope fire her X-gun at Mako. When the blast activated there appeared to be a hole in the floor mere inches away from Mako’s head. When she looked to see the cheerleader's face she could see pure terror in her eyes. That was all Jomo needed to see before her aim was no longer on the mime alien but, on Hope!

“See I told you that ‘bish’ was crazy!” Bobbie chirped once again.

Jomo ignored Bobbie’s outburst and kept her aim steady. She then sighed as a thought passed, ‘Why do I always have to be stuck with the ‘stupid ones’?’

“Y-you shot at me?” Mako asked no higher than a whisper. She then raised her voice, “What the hell is your problem?”

However, Hope ignored her and drew her attention back at the mime alien that had been mimicking her every move when her back was turned. When the mime realized it had her attention it pointed in front of it as if reminding her of the invisible wall. The wall must have given the mime a sense of security and with it up the mime couldn’t resist giving her an arrogant smirk.

While Hope ‘glared daggers’ back at him, he continued to enjoy the rise he was getting out of her. He enjoyed it so much that he shape-shifted into a copy of her. The imposter then proceeded to pretend as if he were sobbing how an ‘emotional person’ would.

Not only did this piss Hope off mentally but, it was evident that it had effected her physically as well. Other than her ever present frown there were apparent alterations in her physical appearance. Her black short hair had grown to her lower back. If you were to look at her face you would only see that the new long hair had fallen over her now flamming red eyes.

“Your all beginning to really piss me off!” She shouted making the mirror image of herself jump back as if intimidated by the sound of her voice.




-----



Meanwhile in the Lobby, Anthony timidly raised his x-rifle to locate the marionette and pulled both triggers. The moment he had pulled the trigger his eyes widened in fright and he turned and leaned forward onto the balls of his feet. He appeared to not have thought out the consequences of his actions before firing and was now prepared to haul ass at any minute.

However, the marionette easily skipped away gracefully before the shot took effect. She then eyed Anthony as if getting impatient with him by the minute. “Don’t be jealous, soon we’ll get to play together too!” she stated, probably relishing the fear that he had emitting from him.

When Anthony heard her voice he attempted to run away but, accidentally lost his footing and fell. If he were to regain his composure he’d notice that he had tripped over something small and doll-sized. The small body under him shifted a bit and pushed him away to reveal a small clown. The clown then grinned at Anthony for a moment before it took off in the direction of the stairs with green smoke covering its tracks.

“Now where was I?” the girl mocked while tilting her head to the side as a smile graced her face, “Let’s play, catch!” she suggested as she prepared to throw her spiked ball at Raito’s head.

Though, before she could throw her ball she heard Theodore shout, "Time to clear it up!" he then proceeded to fire a shot at a door that he believed was a wall.

The explosion completely caught her off guard and made her wonder if it was directed at her. She then turned to see that Theodore wasn’t aiming at her at all. He had blown open the door and the mist was now leaking into the theater!

“What have you done?” She shouted and stomped her feet. “Your ruining everything! You ugly big-headed meanie!”

While she was distracted with her ‘temper tantrum’, she didn’t have the slightest clue that Tam Wei was advancing on her. With his x-rifle in hand he was poising to use it as if it were a baseball bat and hopefully end her ‘morbid game’ that she called fun. It wasn’t until he was moments from hitting her that she noticed his presence.

However, it was too little and too late to do anything but, hold up her spiked ball as the x-rifle slammed into it. The gun shattered on impact along with the spiked-ball that took no time in exploding the moment that physical contact was made.

The blast ended up sending the unfortunate marionette soaring through the hole that Theodore had previously made. Tam Wei on the other hand, had been sent crashing into Theodore and the ticket booths from the force of the ball’s explosion.


When the green smoke cleared they were able to see two mime aliens that were now standing in the middle of the lobby. Each nodded in sync before they suddenly shape-shifted into marionette aliens. Each had a ball of their own and grins that stretched from ear to ear.

“Now, come play with us!” They mentally shouted in the minds of the gantzers.



-----



On the second floor, the alien’s voice echoed through Zerojii’s head. The voice was taunting him and saying, “Anything you can do, I can do better!”in a sing-song voice.

Zerojii didn’t seem to let it get to him and flung the green goo off his katana as thought crossed his mind,`Anything, eh?`he wondered just to make sure.

The mime alien smirked, “Is that a challenge?” was it’s telepathically voiced reply.

The assassin switched to a one-handed fighting stance, He then removed his Y-gun from his left holster, "Hope you can grow some more arms mother fucker,"Zerojii countered.

The alien glared back in response to Zerojii’s quick and witty come-back. Though, it didn’t expect Zerojii to quickly aim and fire his Y-gun in one swift movement that caught the mime completely off guard. It could only look down in shock as Zerojii had already prepared to behead it in a matter of minutes.

The alien had heard of this weaponry before. It gave the gantzers the ability to trap them and send them back to their master’s. This alien already had a master and it wasn’t about to change anytime soon. It wasn’t that the alien had given up but, it already knew that their was hardly any escape from it’s confinement. Either Zerojii would kill it or it would be transported away. The alien closed it’s eyes to await it’s death.

Zerojii was now swinging his katana but, the samurai couldn’t have expected the mime alien to revert back to its normal form the moment the katana was poised to decapitate him. In his mime form, there was an incredible height disadvantage between the mime and the assassin. This made it the only reason why the alien probably still had a head on its shoulders.

However, that didn’t explain why the Y-gun hadn’t proceeded to teleport the alien away like it had done for Jomo last time. The alien also appeared confused before a sick and twisted grin was plastered on it’s face. It appeared as if they really had Gantz at the palm of their hands.

The alien proceeded to cut itself free of the cables with the katanas that it still held. The katanas then vanished and the alien placed it’s hands in front of it to make an invisible wall. The wall was then pushed at Zerojii to send him stumbling backward before he could attempt another attack.

The mime alien then glared at Zerojii as it proceeded to shape-shift into another Tomoko look-alike. He then looked down at Zerojii’s Y-Gun and X-gun. It stared at them for a while longer before one of the two appeared in each hand.

Tomoko struggled to breathe under Kramarr’s iron grip. She attempted to try and ignore the fact that she was choking and concentrated on the x-rifle that was now in her reach. When she finally reached it, Kramarr attempted to apply more strength to his chokehold.

However, Tomoko was quick to slam the x-rifle into his head before he could follow through. As the imposter took time to cater to his face she kicked him off and took time to catch her breath while she crawled away.

She was only able to get but, so far until Kramarr grabbed her and flipped her over once more. He then ducked to avoid a futile effort of her’s to kick him in the face. He also made sure she wouldn’t have another chance to do so by straddling her struggling form.

Her eyes met his and she noticed a green glow to them, “Your not Kramarr!” She choked out and held onto her x-rifle to keep him from taking it. “Get away from me y-you monster!”

The mime alien stopped at its perched position on a seat. The alien glanced long and hard at Takase’s katana before an exact replica formed in its hands. It then reacted quick enough to extend it and ward off a horizontal swing. It then followed up with an upward slash that knocked the katana right out of the director’s hand.

“ Okay, okay! You win!” The director surrendered and placed his hands in the air. He then acted as if he had seen something interesting to his right, “Wow would ya look at that.” he stated to the alien almost surprised that the mime alien actually looked.

The director then snatched the katana from the mime alien’s hand. Though, the moment that he held it it vanished and made Takase look like an asshole when it reappeared in the mime alien’s hand. This caused the director to back away, apparently not noticing Montezno who was quietly approaching the alien from behind.


“Hey! H-hey now! Lets be reasonable. I love the little people! M-my wife’s a midget! No need to be a mean midget, eh?” Takase reasoned before he stumbled backward. “Ow, ah, ah!” he cried out as he felt the blade of the alien’s katana being pressed against his neck. “Okay, were even!” he shouted once more.

Suddenly, the katana was removed from Takase’s neck as Montezno used his foot to flip the seat of the chair. The alien didn’t expect to be crushed in the chair and appeared helpless as its body was trapped in the seat.

Takase then grinned eyeing Montezno’s leg bulk up as he forced the alien to stay crushed within the confines of the chair. The director then decided to get cocky, “Aha, not so tough now are ya, little man?” Takase mused.

The mime alien growled soundlessly at the director before it spit on him causing Montezno to laugh, “Ay, ya done getting shamed by the little people?” the veteran questioned.

Takase shrugged before replying, “I could have handled him, but I must admit. You look better at it!”he then proceeded to frown at the mime as he wiped the spit off his face.

Montezno was next to shrug and took his katana, decapitating the alien in a matter of seconds. He appeared to be in a good mood on the outside but, on the inside, the thought of the aliens being able to to copy gantz’s weaponry was bothering him.

Kiba was the first to see the mime alien and he wasn’t necessarily quiet about it, "I hate clowns! I'm gonna kill that space clown!" he shouted as he sheathed his katana and went on a side quest to find something to chuck at it.

“EEEEAAAAK!” Ami screamed the moment she looked down to see a head staring back up at her. She then felt herself be pulled away at the waist by none other than Lance. As she was ripped away from the alien she felt his nails against her thigh leaving five long bloody scratches. She bit her lip to refrain from screaming but, soon she could no longer hold in the pain. “Ow, shit, ow!” she cursed.

"Everything here's a fucking pervert..." Lance grumbled as he aimed his x-rifle at the alien.

The mime just grinned and licked the sweet blood off it’s fingers as if it were nectar. It then jumped backward to avoid Lance’s shot and started to shape-shift into a mirror-image that looked exactly like Ami Ryousuke. Except, for the fact that this Ami was only wearing her ‘hello-kitty’ panties with nothing covering her exposed bosom.

For a moment she stared at the others and especially at Ami who appeared to have gone pale the moment she realized that she had a half-naked twin standing in front of her. This made her hide more behind Lance as she whispered, “This is a nightmare!”

The alien licked a smudge of Ami’s blood off her lips and noticed that Kiba now held a chair that he had just previously ripped from the floor. The moment it was thrown the imposter leaped onto the chair and went airborne as Jay Wilson retracted his katana in an attempt to stab him but, was instead used as a catwalk for the alien.

Even though, Jay’s katana blade sliced her feet, there was no stopping her from using it to get to her destination. That intended destination was in close range of Kiba and immediately after she had reached him she performed a dropkick into his face. The kick sent him flying backward and the alien landed on her feet and laughed soundlessly as Kiba lay dazed with green bloody footprints on his face.

She then glared at Kiba, “That’s Mr. Mime to you!” she taunted to him telepathically. Going as far as putting her hands on her hips and unintentionally shaking her bosom.

“It’s making me look like a whore!” Ami cried.



-----



Meanwhile, all hope appeared lost for Kramarr. He didn’t seem to be fairing well at all against the numbers that were stacked against him. “I’m NOT going to die here!” He shouted as his suit started to bulk up. “I’m going to step on each and every one of you midgets and then I’ll go and find Tomoko!” he continued on.

He then heard a loud explosion that blew away a door to his left. When he looked to see what it was that had caused it he saw a small doll fly through the air and smack into a seat. She looked as if she just got the hell smacked out of her and green smoke appeared to be emptying from the room she had flown in from.

Even the mimes were distracted for a moment and that was all that Kramarr needed. Using every bit of strength he could muster up from his suit, he tackled the invisible wall with all his might. The mimes who were distracted had no time to react as they were knocked back.

Kramarr then proceeded to catch his breath just as the mime aliens began to recover once again. “You have got to be fucking kidding me!” Kramarr shouted as the doll alien recovered as well. She didn’t appear to happy to see him either.

"Stay behind me." Lance spoke quickly to Ami "Grab my jacket." He finished saying, so he would still be able to tell who was real even if things got confusing. Lance then reached down and pulled the X-gun out of his leg holster and began to aim and fire, taking just enough time to try and ensure he wouldn't hit any of the other people there. At the same time he dropped his X-rifle, so he could free up a hand to quickly defend against any attacks or get Ami out of the way of attacks. He was mainly aiming towards the chest of the shape shifting imposter as that would be the largest target point on the creature, and with it's movement patterns, Lance figured that it wouldn't be able to move as much with it being off the ground so much.

[Dane]

Dane looked on in surprise as the alien turned into a strange copy of Hope.
"What the hell!? They can turn into us!?" Dane walked towards the alien and stopped a few feet away from the invisible box.
"Listen, uh... asshole," he said, trying to make the alien mad so it would break the box and try to attack him. "Why don't you get your mimey ass outta that retarded box!" he kept his X-Rifle at his side, wondering if his makeshift plan would actually work.

[Defectron]

Kiba wiped the blood off his face, this thing was pretty good, but he'd show that clown who was the best.

"That's Mr Mime to you!"

Kiba looked up to see Amis copy shaking her boobs at him, Kiba hadn't known very many girls and the only girl he had ever seen the boobs of was Oniko. But hers were alot smaller then Amis and shortly after he had seen them she had hit him with a chair so he was able to appreciate this moment a bit more. He could feel something get kind of hard inside his suit, Kiba had never had sex education so he didn't really know why this happened whenever he saw stuff like this. But he wasn't about to let it get in the way of his victory. He'd show this alien, the world and Oniko that he was the best!

Kiba removed both his swords extending them to full length before slashing with lightning speed, One sword aiming to take out her legs and the other to slice her head off. All the theater seats in the way of the sword going towards her legs were cut through as easily as cardboard as the blades wooshed towards her.

[Shad²]

Raito was ready to shoot at the little girl just before she was sent flying. He decided it was better to check on the guy that had been blown away to see if he was okay. But before he moved two more little girls appeared. This time Raito took no hesitation in raising his gun and aiming the two girl's heads. He'd go for the head finishing them both off using just two bullets.

[Benry]

T-Bag was really starting to be pissed off. All he ever wanted was to find Tomoko and get out of there. He soon found out that that was not possible. He pushed Tam Wei aside from his body as he got up, irritated looking at the two aliens in the middle of the room. Fortunately the smoke seemed to have cleared a bit and he could see them. T-Bag dropped his x-rifle on the floor and grabbed the x-gun and y-gun. He saw that they both had two triggers just like the x-rifle. Guess they work the same way. He thought as he pressed both triggers simultaneously from the two guns aiming at the aliens.

[KßзŁŁ]

Zerojii spat on the ground as he stood up and saw the alien begin to shape more Gantz weaponry, but a small smirk worked it's way onto his face as he realized the alien had given up both of its blades. The fact that the alien had chosen to portray Tomoko wasn't buying it any points with Zerojii. The damn thing was wasting its time trying to play mind games when all that really mattered was who could use the tools available to render the other inoperable first. Zerojii planned to use every edge he could get against this thing, and if it thought it could take its time to change shape, learn more about his weaponry, and at the same time, drop its defense against Zerojii's blade without paying for it, then it was sorely mistaken. Zerojii was determined to kill this honorless dog like the trash it was for disrespecting him so. If it would toss away its defenses so carelessly, Zerojii could not let himself miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Zerojii had noticed the alien miming as if there were a wall in front of him before making a pushing motion, knocking Zerojii back. After he had stood up, Zerojii had begun to point his katana at the alien's chest, only to have it stopped by the invisible wall a few feet in front of him. The wall seemed to have moved him back a few feet from the alien, which meant it could obviously slide. Without any further warning, Zerojii used his hatred for the alien to fuel a kick at the wall. The kick was not meant to break the wall, but to send it flying towards the alien, hopefully causing him to backpedal. Zerojii was hoping to catch the fucker between a rock and a hard place, but he wasn't going to take any chances. As he kicked the wall, he would send several y-gun blasts to the left of the wall. He would keep his katana somewhat wide to the right, and then attempt to trap the clown behind the wall, or cut it to pieces if it decided to come out from behind the thing. When Zerojii got close enough, he meant to dodge to the right and try to cut off any escape the mime would think it had. All Zerojii had to do was get around the wall and get in close to the little bastard and he'd be able to easily finish him off. Hopefully the alien would be surprised enough by the wall coming back at him and intimidated enough by the y gun shots whizzing past him to walk right into Zerojii's trap.

[demonicmuse]

Jay raised an eyebrow when the mime alien turned into Ami. The fact that they could turn into copies of people could make things very difficult. Though, he had to admire the alien's work.

“It’s making me look like a whore!”

Jay grinned at Ami's outrage.
"At least we can tell which one is the real you." He then turned his gaze back on the alien. Remembering the ease in which it had dodged his katana and attacked Kiba, he stopped grinning. He couldn't let himself be distracted, or he could get himself killed. Again. This time though, he knew that he wouldn't get another chance at life.

Jay was about to charge the alien, but a glance at Kiba told him that it wasn't the wisest thing to do at the moment. He could see that Kiba was about to attack, and if Jay charged he knew that he would get in the way. He would wait and see if Kiba missed; If he missed, Jay would charge the alien, if he didn't miss, that would be one alien down.

[jjrev609]

Tam watched as T-Bag dropped his X-Rifle. It was like he was given a second chance at a crazy idea.

Nah, I'll play it a bit safer this time. Tam thought as he grabbed the discarded X-rifle and shot multiple times at both mimes.

[Tame]

Anthony, though he had no love for T-Bag, was greatful for his quick-thinking in causing the smoke to dissapate. He could now see clearly their two enemies. He got to his feet and raised his rifle with more certainty this time and joined in the volley of fire that his fellow Gantzers were delivering, shooting several times at the nearest alien.

Thought no longer held him; emotions controlled his actions. Fear, excitement and adrenaline drove him to snuff out the lives of those threatening him now.

[®onnie ®ude]

Montezno peered down at his controller. The dot that was closest to him hadn’t moved an inch. This made him wonder if the person had either dropped their controller or was no longer living. He had seen death before but, he felt that he would be better off at least checking on that area. Whoever the puppet master was, Montezno wasn’t about to let him pick them off one by one.

Takase stopped abruptly and Montezno to bump into him. The veteran allowed the director to lead, because he believed the guy knew where he was going. The man said he owned the theater so Montezno had expected him to be able to aid him when the controller could not.

“Lost?” Romney inquired, but hadn’t proceeded to look up from the controller.

Takase gave an uneasy laugh, before he turned and brought a finger to his lips. The gesture made Montezno raise an eyebrow before he peered over the director’s shoulder. He could see that there was a small silhouette that was standing off to their left and after a hard glance he looked back at Takase. The veteran wasn’t at all shocked at what he saw and he placed his left hand in his pocket as if he were searching for something.

“Yep, that’s an alien, alright.” Montezno concluded, his hand resubmerging from his pocket and pulling out a white hockey mask. “That’d explain that yellow dot on the map.” he mused.

Takase’s eyes widened, “What?” he asked, peering at the controller to see their was in fact a yellow dot on the screen. “You mean to tell me that was there all along and you didn’t tell me?”

“Well yeah, I was hoping it wouldn’t notice us.” Montezno answered, turning to place his mask over his face.

When he turned back around he made Takase step back in fright, “Ugh, what’s with the mask, you some sort of super hero?” Takase asked before he noticed Montezno glare at him. “Not to say you don’t have what it takes to be a great villain!” the man added hastily.

Montezno ignored the director and eyed the alien in the shadows. “Alright, its time to come out of hiding, we know about you as you can see.” he called out, eyeing the darkened silhouette.

“Ahahaha, you crack me up. You’re the one’s that look like a suspicious couple!” A voice replied through fits of laughter.

Montezno fumed and tugged his arm away from Takase. He must have grabbed it while he wasn’t paying attention. He then noticed he lost track of the alien. “Don’t make this hard on yourself, understand?” Montezno warned and narrowed his eyes.

Takase watched on as Montezno aimed toward the direction they heard the voice originate with his blade. The director appeared to have stars in his eyes, and he awaited perhaps an epic battle between the veteran and the hidden alien. He could barely contain his excitement, biting his nails and silently cheering on Montezno as he positioned his controller in a way that would shine light on their hidden foe.

Instead of having the pleasure of seeing the alien, the light from the controller lit up a nearby wall. This made Montezno sigh in annoyance, but Takase saw this as an opportunity and put on a show of ‘shadow puppetry’.

“Um, what the hell are you doing, hm?” Montezno questioned.

“Come now boy, you never seen a ‘shadow puppet’ in action?” Takase mused, taking his hand and casting a shadow of what appeared to be a butterfly.

Montezno looked around him for a moment. He didn’t really like the idea of taking his attention off the alien at all. “Hm, what the hell? Can you make anything else?” he asked, “Butterflies are a bit feminine…”

Takase grinned and concentrated on the light, his hands and the shadow that he would soon cast on the wall, “I’ll show you feminine…” raising his hands into the light, he added, “Takase Style!”

Montezno’s eyes widened in amusement, “You some sort of pervert or something?”

“They look like the real thing don’t they? Watch em jiggle!” Takase instructed seriously.

Montezno couldn’t help, but laugh. He couldn’t believe that this guy was actually making ‘shadow puppet porn’. It made tears start to fall from his eyes as he noticed a tongue join the scenario. “Ah, that’s almost too good…” He stated in awe.

Takase Niito looked confused before he too looked at the wall. His shadow was now casting an image of a girl getting her nipples licked by a man. This made the director look down at his hands in confusion before he heard the same voice from before.

“Ahahaha, got milk?” the voice asked before it erupted into laughter.



– – – – – – – – – –



Tomoko wrestled the x-rifle out of Kramarr’s iron grip. She then smacked the tail of the gun in his face making him fall backward to clutch his nose. This gave her time to stand, catch her breath and aim the weaponry at him.

Tears started to fall freely from her eyes and she bit her lip, “I don’t know who you are or what you did with the real Kramarr!” her hand slowly searched for the rifle’s trigger, “But, you better start explainin’, right now!” she shouted.

However, it was then that she noticed that their were not one but, two triggers on the gun. She didn’t remember Montezno mentioning that part. It caught her off guard, making her glance down at the gun and ignoring the fact that Kramarr had already recovered.



The alien grinned at her as it spit green blood from its mouth. Then step, by step he approached her, backing her closer and closer into an inevitable plunge from the balcony. When she could back tread no further, his smile broadened at the sight of her back against the wooden railing. This made her raise her x-rifle once again, but Kramarr smacked it out of her hand with little effort. There was nowhere for her to run to and he knew this as he charged at her.


“Help!” she screamed, ducking low and shutting her eyes. She had no clue that her mere instinct had just saved her life. When she opened her eyes she immediately looked over the banister, “Kramarr!” she shouted not being able to see where he had landed.

It made her wonder if he truly was an imposter or not. “What have I done?” she cried out and slumped against the banister and allowed herself to cry.


– – – – – – – – – –


Downstairs, Kramarr heard Tomoko scream his name once again. He took his eyes off of the aliens to scan the area for her with no avail. He then looked up to his left to see her crying on the second floor.

“Tomoko?” He whispered and ran closer. It made him feel at ease up until the point when a ball smacked into his chest. The impact sent him crashing into a nearby wall and made him wish that he hadn’t forgotten about the aliens. “You little bastar-“ he attempted to curse before he felt a sharp pain and something sticky and wet in his hands.


His hand scooped up the liquid and brought it to his face. The liquid was what appeared to be blood, his blood, ”You bitch…“He choked out as he felt himself losing blood. It seemed as if the marionette had thrown a spiked ball at him and it had impaled his stomach. ‘Why didn’t the suit work?’ he thought to himself as his breathing grew weak.

“Yes, that’s what you get for not paying attention to me! Don’t ever ignore me!” the marionette screeched before a ticking noise sounded.

Kramarr looked down at the spiked ball and coughed up blood on the time that was displayed. “Ah, the hell with it. I guess…I don't deserve to be…to be with you…Tomoko!” He coughed out before the ball exploded.




– – – – – – – –



Zerojii stood and pointed his katana at the imposter's chest, only to have it stopped by the invisible wall a few feet in front of him. This was the same wall that moved him back a few feet from the alien before. So, he attempted kick it back toward the alien.

Tomoko only smirked at this and allowed the wall to fly at her before it vanished from her mind and existence before it actually hit. She appeared to think she had Zerojii scouted, but she didn’t expect two nets to fly at her from the left. When she looked to the right she saw that Zerojii was already charging to attack her from that direction as well. The only option she had, sent her running straight forward. She wasn’t sure that she could outrun the cables but, something ahead of her had caught her eye.

If Zerojii were to look to his right he’d see the alien run forward with the Y-gun cables on her heels. He’d also probably see the imposter raise her Y-gun in the direction of the real Tomoko. The moment the shot was fired, Zerojii’s cables had trapped her, while another set was heading straight for Tomoko!

Now bound by wires and cables, the alien looked back at Zerojii and smiled arrogantly as Tomoko was caught off guard by the effects of the mime alien’s Y-gun. The blonde girl could be seen struggling on the floor while her head started to disappear.

Zerojii could also hear Tomoko’s voice in his head, “Kill me or save me?” it proposed before it added, “You can only choose one!”




– – – – – – – – – –



"W-what the hell!? They can t-turn into us!?" Dane asked out loud, seemingly the most surprised at the fact that the aliens could shape shift into exact copies of them. The others except for Bobbie, probably would have felt the same if they weren’t already distracted by Hope’s strange behavior.

Bobbie on the other hand glared at Dane, “You mean to tell me you ain’t see that fucking bird hawking on my ass?” he inquired before sarcastically adding, “Are you as stupid as you sound?”

Whether or not Dane heard his insults he proceeded to approach the Hope imposter until he was a few feet away from her invisible wall. "Listen, uh...asshole," he began, "Why don't y-you get your ‘mimey’ ass o-outta that retarded box!"

The Hope imposter’s eyes widened at the end of his statement. It appeared as if she was actually more afraid than angry according to the expression that was on her face. It wasn’t even that she was afraid of Dane. She was actually afraid of Hope who was now approaching the alien with her suit beginning to show signs of veins and muscles that she wouldn’t normally possess.

“What’s happening to her?” Mako asked Jomo, but the chimp only shook her head in response.


Hope bared her teeth at the mime alien and back handed Dane into Mako and Jomo into a nearby chair. She then focused on her twin as it sent its invisible wall colliding into her. Even though, it hit her directly, she some how managed to stop it from knocking her off her feet. She then used her hands to rip through the invisible barrier.

The imposter could see that she was no longer protected and attempted to turn and flee. However, the moment she turned she felt Hope grab her by the neck. The strength she held within her grip was enough to begin to choke the life out of the alien and not long after, the alien could do nothing, but struggle to breathe.

“Who’s laughing now, huh?” Hope mocked before adding another, “Huh?”

In her mind she could telepathically hear the alien begging her for mercy. Instead of granting her wish, she began punching her in the face repeatedly, smirking at the site of her green blood. After a moment of abuse she slammed her into the floor and kneeled over her, witnessing her twin shape shift back into it's original mime form.

It was then that she could hear Mako scream, “Hope, stop it already!” but she tuned her out and concentrated on the neck of the alien. She then lowered her head to the aliens neck and bit, making sure to savor the green blood that flowed into her mouth as the alien became pale and grew limp.

“Stop it already!” Mako screamed at the top of her lungs as she struggled under Dane’s weight.

The sound was enough to force Hope to snap out of her trance and stare back at the others with a confused expression. She looked as if she didn’t have a clue what had just happened until, she glanced down to see the alien’s corpse and the green blood that she was covered in.

“I did this?” Hope asked out loud and stared down at her bloody hands.

Jomo rose from the chair that she had been knocked into and looked at the damage that had been done. She avoided eye contact with Hope and proceeded to check her controller. She didn’t appear as if she wanted to bring up the fact that she had just witnessed a human eat an alien. Not only was it disgusting, but it had to have been the weirdest thing she had ever seen.

Hope noticed Jomo’s reaction and she wiped her mouth and spit out the remains of the green blood that was still her mouth. She stared down at the aliens corpse for a moment longer before, she ran her tongue along her teeth. They felt sharper than usual and almost as if they were fangs.


“Hope are you-”Mako began but was interrupted by Hope.

Hope quickly stood and shouted, “Just leave me alone, okay!” She then proceeded to run and enter through a door ahead that was marked with an exit sign.


When she was gone, Bobbie approached the mime alien’s corpse and stared down at it in disgust, “This guy can’t possibly taste that good…”he trailed off before slurping up a bit of the green blood. However, it didn’t take him long to spit it back out, “Yuck, how can you eat that stuff? I told you that bish was crazy…”He stated in disgust and looked down to see that the alien was now dissolving into the floor.

Mako then looked at Dane before asking, “Shouldn’t we go after her?”




– – – – – – – – – –



Theodore pushed Tam Wei off of him and got up. He then dropped his x-rifle on the floor and grabbed his X-gun and Y-gun from his holsters. The x-rifle that he had abandoned was picked up by Tam and each of the gantzers proceeded to shoot at the two mime aliens that were posing as marionettes.

The y-gun cable was avoided by the marionette on the right, but it appeared to be a burden as Tam’s shot from his x-rifle exploded the girl’s ball and sent her flying back into it just as it had passed her. She was now tangled up in the cables, unlike her twin that had easily dodged both of Theodore and Tam Wei’s shots.

She then looked over at Anthony Hastings as he attempted to join in and shoot her twin. Though, the alien made sure to prevent that from happening by shrinking her ball and tossing in the barrel of the x-rifle. In a matter of moments the gun would explode and the girl couldn’t help, but smirk at him.


Though, her smile faded when a gun was heard and two bullets pelted against her head. They weren’t life threatening but, they sure were annoying and they caused her to glare at Raito as if he were a common housefly.




– – – – – – – – – –



Ami couldn’t help but, notice that Jay Wilson was grinning at her. It was bad enough that they all could see how she looked when she was naked, but the fact that he was looking at her after knowing, made it even worse!

"At least we can tell which one is the real you." Jay commented slyly.

“You stupid dumb pervert!” She screeched as she was obviously blushing. She then added, “See if you can tell the difference after I kick your ‘little smart ass’, real enough for ya?”going as far as stepping from behind Lance to stick out her tongue and raise her fist at him.

"Stay behind me." Lance ordered making her snap out of her blind rage, "Grab my jacket." He also added.

She quickly did as she was told, not sure whether or not she should aim at the alien with her x-rifle or not. She felt useless and she decided to ask Lance what she should do, “Um,” She began.

However, before she could ask, two giant katana blades sweeped through the area catching everyone off guard, except for Jay Wilson who ducked quickly. The blades had managed to knock Lance away from Ami and diced away the alien's right leg as she attempted to jump to avoid the attack. The imposter was then left to fall back down on her good foot as Lance charged at her. When she noticed this she back handed him away and fell when she lost balance.

Ami was then left to aim her x-gun at her with fear in her eyes, “There’s two triggers, which one do I push?” she asked with a panicked voice.

Connection Lost...

1:29:19

[The Merc]

"Both triggers.." Lance called out to Ami as he rose his hands as well, gripping his X-gun in both hands, aiming at the clone, he began to pull both triggers, as fast as he can, wanting to fire as much of his ammunition as he can, but while he did this, he began to sort of crouch/walk towards the real Ami. He had promised to get her to the end of this deployment alive, and he intended to save the blank canvas.

[Tame]

'Shit!' Anthony instinctively hurled his soon-to-be-exploding x-rifle at his attacker, then jumped back a couple of steps to get further from the blast. As he moved, he drew out his x-gun, now his only piece of weaponry besides his suit, raised it at the same attacker and fired again. He hadn't by any means given up all hope of escaping these two aliens alive, and meant to keep fighting until he and his "colleagues" had killed them.

[Defectron]

Kiba had missed the aliens head, but he'd managed to cut off one of its legs. "You won't be jumping around anymore now!" Kiba said getting up, he wasn't going to give it the chance to try anything else. Running at it, he swung his sword aiming to cut the head off the fallen copy.

[Dane]

"Yeah." Dane said in response to Mako. He ran over to the exit door and opened it. He didn't step through it though, but instead just peered out of it to see what was beyond it.

[KßзŁŁ]

Zerojii quickly popped his y-gun back into its holster and gripped the haft of his katana tightly, keeping it still in just his right hand as he began dashing towards the two bound Tomokos. He made sure to keep the closest figure on his right, unleashing a slash meant to slice through the alien's elbows and chest as he passed by. Once he made it to the real Tomoko, he'd grab onto her with his left arm and try to teleport with her; it seemed as if she was undergoing the same sort of teleportation that Gantz normally used, so Zerojii figured she had to be going somewhere. He didn't think she'd stand a chance at making it back from wherever that was alive if she went alone.

Zerojiie had to believe that this was the real Tomoko, considering all that had happened. Not only had the alien chose to attack her, but the alien's y-gun had succeeded to send Tomoko where Zerojii's had failed.

[demonicmuse]

Jay shifted to a more defensive stance and looked around. The others seemed to have the alien under control, so he decided to make sure there wasn't anything sneaking up on them. He still kept an eye on the Ami clone, just in case.

[Shad²]

Raito lowered his gun, subconsciously, from amazement.

''What are these things''

Just then he saw an X-Rifle being throwed at the alien and realized he was in grave danger, immediately started walking backwards and shooting continiously at the alien.

[jjrev609]

Tam was suprised at how well the mimes copied the littles girl's abilities, but it only gave him a better sense of victory after he came up with another crzy tactic to take them out. Noticing Anthony throw the X-Rifle made Tam snicker. Dropping T-Bag's rifle, Tam immediatly dashed over to the tangled up mime and planned the grab around it's ankles and swing it like a club into the other mime.
