Project Destiny, Hunt .01

[cedric]

John stood by himself in the room. Watching events transpiring around him. The guy in the suit was shot in the leg. But from what John could see it didn't seem to do any damage to him. How did that happen? John thought. How could a bullet ricochet off someones leg?. The only way John could explain it was that the black suit must have protected him. Before John could ask any questions, sounds started to emanate from the black ball. It reminded John of an exercise show that he used to watch in the morning. Strange images and words started to appear on the ball. John read what was on the ball to himself.

"Y0uR L1v3s 4r3 n0w 0v3r. H0w y0u us3 y0ur n3w l1v3s 1s f0r m3 t0 d3c1d3. 4t l34st th4ts th3 th30ry 4nyw4y.

For some weird reason that sentence sent shivers up his spine. What did it mean. And what was this alien they were supposed to kill?

Just as John thought things couldn't get any stranger. The ball suddenly opened up, compartments shooting out of the sides of the ball. The guy in the black suit, spoke up to everyone. Telling about guns that they should take. And suitcases which contained the suit he wore and a GPS. John was usually cautious, but he was intrigued by what he said. As he already saw the strength of the suit he believed that he should do as was suggested.

John walked over to the ball and picked up a gun from one of the racks. And then walked over to the other compartment and Examined the suitcases. Each of them had different names on them. As he pondered on that he noticed one of the suitcases had his name on it. "Is this destiny?", he thought. As he picked up the suitcase he got the shock of a lifetime when he noticed, what looked like a human being inside the ball. John didn't want to attract any attention so he kept his worrying to himself.

Opening up the case he removed the suit. However as he tried to put it on over his clothes he noticed that he couldn't quite get it on. The only way he would be able to do it is if he removed his other clothing. John walked into the empty hallway removed his clothes and put on the black suit. It seemed to John like it was made for him.

Picking up his clothes and gun John made his way back into the main room and sat in the corner, waiting for something to happen.

[Cmdr. Maegil]

The corporate lawyer noticed the cold burning running down her face, and her blood boiled. "Ohhh, my GOD, you call yourself a policemen? You shot" -Mariana's righteous complaints were cut short by the ball's music - "let me see your badge! I'm being abducted by these - then again, you're either with them or in the same predicament as I, in which case you won't be either willing or able to help me, so why am I talking to you in the first place?... Oh, yes, because you shot me, puta Madonna," and she crossed herself at the blasphemy as Italians usually do.
She was starting to freak, now, even her friend the cell phone hadn't network signal! The ball was ordering them to kill some horrible nightmare creature, and the bossy kid was giving some instructions...

She listened to his explanations -this was all totally, completely out of her mental universe; still often before she had to make instant judgement calls on crisis management.
"Your badge seems in order, officer. I still don't believe any of this, but if I am wrong and don't take the weapons, I may die, right..." this she was half talking to the policemen, half arguing with herself in dissociative ambiguity, as her custom when she had to weight matters on multiple POVs.
"...so, between being right and ridiculed, or wrong and dead. from that results best to take the gun and adquire more pertinent information. Do you agree, Officer?"

With this, she proceeded to take an X-gun and the personalized case. Going past Dan, she took offense at his daring, getting naked in front of her. "You shameless little rotten piglet, is this the education your parents gave you? I hope to Darwin that your balls shrivel and fall off, so your bad seed doesn't spread."

[Virtuoso]

Seeing the bullet ricochet off of Lance's foot was enough to convince Alejandro that putting on the suit would be a good idea. He slung his guitar over his back and walked over to the ball. He found his suitcase and picked it up, then also retrieved Natsuki's.
"For you, Señorita," he said in his thick Spanish accent, handing it to her. "Now, if you will excuse me for a moment." Alejandro walked into the entrance hallway of the apartment and changed into his suit, having to remove his regular clothes first. He then replaced his own clothes, slinging the guitar over his back once again. He carried his case back into the main room and retrieved one of the X-rifles from the ball.
"If you would like some privacy, Señorita Natsuki, I would suggest the hallway over there," Alejandro said, gesturing to where he had just been. "I will guard the entrance from prying eyes, if you so desire. You can trust me." He said this with a friendly wink and a smile.

[Cmdr. Maegil]

Seeing Alejandro guarding the doorway for Natsuki, Mariana also went that way. "It's so good to see that gentlemanly behaviour isn't completely dead! I'm Mrs. Mariana Lippi"

Going inside, she went near Natsuki "Hello, I'm Mrs. Lippi".
Starting to change, she wasn't in a talkative mood but understood she'd need help, so started making acquaintances in the women's bathroom way. "Nice boyfriend you have there, they don't make them like that anymore..."
Flushing a bit, she went on, "you have to take care, he's a smooth player as I've seldom seen... If you don't mind your step, you'll be dancing to his tango in no time!"

[XenoD]

Dan, now fully dressed in his Gantz suit, stood up and looked around. Seeing Mariana and Alejandro conversing he mentally smacked himself for not making allies sooner. He blinked. " Allies? Why am I thinking about something like allies when I'm freakin' dead"? He thought to himself as he started to fidget with the two X-Guns at his sides. " Maybe it's instinct....pph! Forget that". He walked over to the middle of the room and then spotted John by himself. " Dude looks like he could use some company". Dan whisspers to himself as he heads over to the man.

Standing in front of him, Dan scratches the back of his head and smiles. " Soo...had a good life"?

[xoriam]

As Kale came back into the main room he overheard Dan's question to John. Kale couldn't help but laugh at the irony of him asking him if he had a good life. Kale was relieved to find that someone could keep a sense of humor even when they're dead. He walked over to the weapons rack and eyed a gun. "Cool," he said quietly. Then he put it in the suite's holster. He then grabbed what looked like the hilt of a sword. "What is this, a lightsaber?" he asked no one in particular. He pressed one of the buttons and was surprised to see a metal blade protruding from it. "Now, this is my style!" he screamed. His blackbelt in kendo may pay off more than he anticipated.

OOC: Sorry but the swords are not in the same place as in the guns. They are in a room in the hallways and it only opens after the ball does but no one knows this so you cant have a sword.

[cedric]

As John sat by himself a person walked towards him from across the room. "Soo...had a good life"?, he said. As John heard this a big grin came to his face and he started bursting out with laughter.
"Thanks for that, i haven't had a good laugh in a while", John said "My names John, whats yours? And before i forget to ask have you seen that freaky guy in the ball yet?"

[Benry]

After recovering from the shock of the gun, Lance began explaining what was going on. Until now everything he had said was true. He explained how the gun worked and what was inside the suitcase. Then he went to take the GPS device and x-gun. After this, Lance made his way to the side room. He tried to open the door and was successful. There he could see some katana hostlers and a strange looking machine.

Mugen decided to follow Lance. Everything seemed too strange and it seemed like that guy knew what was going on or he was nuts. “What the fuck is that?” Mugen asked Lance as he pointed towards the strange device.

Mariana began screaming as soon as she saw the mark on her face. let me see your badge! I'm being abducted by these - then again, you're either with them or in the same predicament as I, in which case you won't be either willing or able to help me, so why am I talking to you in the first place?... Oh, yes, because you shot me. Hikeda could do nothing but apologize to the strange woman as he showed her his badge. “Lady please calm down. The bullet ricocheted and I had no idea what the suit was like. Like you I don’t know what is going on but I assure you if we are abducted I will do everything in my power to protect you.” He said trying to calm Mariana down.

"Your badge seems in order, officer. I still don't believe any of this, but if I am wrong and don't take the weapons, I may die, right..." this she was half talking to the policemen, half arguing with herself in dissociative ambiguity, as her custom when she had to weight matters on multiple POVs.
"...so, between being right and ridiculed, or wrong and dead. from that results best to take the gun and adquire more pertinent information. Do you agree, Officer?"

“Yes I agree.” Hikeda said. “I will do the same. Now if you excuse me.” He said as he went and took the suitcase with his name on it. Then he headed to the hallway were Keiichi, Frank, Kale and John were changing. Alejandro quickly went to the ball and took his suitcase and that of Natsuki. It seemed like he wanted to impress the girl even in this sort of situation. “Thank you,” Natsuki said looking Alejabdro in the eyes but that was cause she didn’t want to see Dan naked. Alejandro then proceeded to change to the hallway. Natsuki just stood there, waiting for the males to finish.

"It's so good to see that gentlemanly behaviour isn't completely dead! I'm Mrs. Mariana Lippi" Mariana said trying to make friends with Natsuki. “Hello there I’m Natsuki.” She said smiling. After the males changed Mariana and Natsuki went into the hallway but there they saw Frank who was thinking with himself. They proceeded to go to the bathroom to change.

"Nice boyfriend you have there, they don't make them like that anymore..." Mariana said to Natsuki. “Oh no,” Natsuki said, “h-he’s not my boyfriend. I just know him from here but he seems a very kind man…” She said smiling. However Mariana continued without listening to Natsuki "you have to take care, he's a smooth player as I've seldom seen... If you don't mind your step, you'll be dancing to his tango in no time!"

“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.” Natsuki said, not really thinking seriously about it. Alejabdr was kind but she didn’t think he was a playboy of sorts. As they finished changing they went back to the main room.

After waiting for everyone to change quietly Shinji took his suitcase and went to the hallway. He thought he was alone so he would change in peace but there he saw Frank. He stopped for a moment and said hello however he noticed that Frank was not paying attention to him. He quickly undressed and wore the suit over. Then he wore his clothes back. He went to the main room and grabbed an x-gun. “This seems cool.” He said to himself examining the gun.

Dan, now fully dressed in his Gantz suit, stood up and looked around. Seeing Mariana and Alejandro conversing he mentally smacked himself for not making allies sooner. He blinked. " Allies? Why am I thinking about something like allies when I'm freakin' dead"? He thought to himself as he started to fidget with the two X-Guns at his sides. " Maybe it's instinct....pph! Forget that". He walked over to the middle of the room and then spotted John by himself. " Dude looks like he could use some company". Dan whisspers to himself as he heads over to the man.

Standing in front of him, Dan scratches the back of his head and smiles. " Soo...had a good life"?

John heard this a big grin came to his face and he started bursting out with laughter.
"Thanks for that, i haven't had a good laugh in a while", John said "My names John, whats yours? And before i forget to ask have you seen that freaky guy in the ball yet?" It seemed like Dan had somehow made an ally which would prove very useful if he was a true one.

As Kale came back into the main room he overheard Dan's question to John. Kale couldn't help but laugh at the irony of him asking him if he had a good life. Kale was relieved to find that someone could keep a sense of humor even when they're dead. He walked over to the weapons rack and eyed a gun. "Cool," he said quietly. Then he put it in the suite's holster.

After getting back to the main room Hikeda searched for Lance. As he found him he put a hand on his shoulder. “So now what?” he asked Lance but as soon as he said that both of them would feel unable to move and they began getting transported. Lance could see himself in a big cemetery. There were graves everywhere and a light mist covered the area.

“What the fuck!” Mugen screamed as he saw two bodies disappear. “A-are we starting this soon?” he said and then he noticed that he still hadn’t got a suit. He quickly grabbed a katana hostler as it seemed strange and then ran towards the ball to grab his suitcase however he froze instantly and he began transporting. He could see Lance and Hikeda as he fully materialized.

The next to transport was Frank and Shinji. “Holy shit!” The fat boy screamed as he saw the place he was in. It was a cemetery and from the monster they had to kill he could imagine were they would come from… “A-are you any good with guns?” He asked Frank, his voice trembling. The others were still in the room, shocked at what was going on.

[XenoD]

Dan gulped as he saw people start transfering out. " Oh crap, not good". He thought as he looked arund the room. He saw the others start to fidget and some start to get a primal instinct in their eyes. Turning his head he noticed a door that had previously been shut open. It was by the Black Ball and Dan was sure he saw two people go in there before.

Dashing forward he stopped at the doorway and widened his eyes at the badass looking Monobikes in front of him. " Awsome"! He screamed as he dashed forward to the Bikes, completley forgetting the danger he had been thinking of a while ago.

[xoriam]

"Whoa, I don't think I'll ever get used to that," Kale said as he saw the group of people being transported. "Awesome!" Kale heard Dan say and followed him to the second room he went to. "Jackpot!" Kale screamed as he saw the set of swords and a monobike. Kale wasn't sure who would disapear next so he made a dash for a sword in the hopes he would grab it in time before he got transported.

[KßзŁŁ]

Frank almost shit his pants as he began to teleport. "Just what in the bloody hell is all this mess about, I wonder," he thought aloud. He began wishing he had actually taken the strange man's advice and put his suit on; maybe it would have stopped this from happening. As soon as he finished teleporting, he would begin taking his suit out of the suitcase, and try to put it on. It had seemed as if people had needed to disrobe before donning their suits, so Frank planned on getting naked and getting his suit on as soon as he could after finishing whatever was happening to him.

Frank heard Shinji ask him if he was any good with guns. He decided to answer while he changed, keeping his voice low. "I've been shooting pistols, shotguns, and rifles since I was a small boy. I guess you could say I'm pretty good; I'm probably best with my pistol. The name's Frank; damned good to meet you. I'd shake your hand, but as you can probably see, I'm a bit busy now. I wasn't really taking this very seriously, but I'm pretty sure we just got teleported somehow, so I'm going to try and take that guy's advice now. Did you grab one of them suitcases, or any guns?"

[Al]

Keiichi raised his head at the mention of people dissapearing, it didn't seem all that different than how people were getting into room, but he began to felt rushed at the only seemingly experienced person's leave. He finished examining the X-gun he was holding and decided to get a Y-Gun next, then headed to the back of the ball to get his suitcase despite the curiosity peaking words in the room he hadn't been inside yet. Little did he know, he could be frozen in place any second, the rushed feeling from before wasn't that different from reality.

[The Merc]

Lance saw the scenery change right after he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He wasn't ready. He hadn't completed his preperation. He tried to shrug off and dash for a sword hilt. Trying to grab the closest one before he lost his hands to. Whether or not he managed to get one didn't change his next action. He spun around to face the person who had touched him.

"You shouldn't ever touch anyone once the ball is open. It brings enemies into safe zones, and brings the unprepared out into the mission area." Lance said, staring intently at Hikeda, before Lance put the controller's wrist strap on and viewing the map, searching for the targets.

"Kill anything with a red dot. Green dots are others who have these devices." Lance stated as he surveyed the surrounding area and the map as best he could. Preparing to draw and fire his X-Gun if anything moved fast towards him.

[Cmdr. Maegil]

Hearing all the screaming, Mariana got curious, but she was still finishing donning the suit. "What do you think is going on now? I hope it's not someone else with a gun!..."

[Virtuoso]

When it seemed that Natsuki would have her privacy, Alejandro turned his attention to the others in the room. People were still freaking out and some were scrambling for weapons. Alejandro realized that he, too, would need a weapon. He casually walked over to the ball and examined the guns there. He happened to glance behind him to see how the others were handling the situation, only to see something that he had not expected: the other people in the room were disappearing. This, coupled with the picture of the "alien" the ball had shown them, caused Alejandro to be overcome with a sense of urgency. He quickly grabbed an X-rifle out of the ball, and hefted it in his hands, feeling its weight. It wasn't too much heavier than his guitar, so he would be able to handle it easily.
Alejandro remembered what the strange man had said: "Pull both triggers to fire...the rifle, fires explosive ammunition."
Alejandro walked back and waited for Natsuki. He would be ready for whatever happened, but above all, he would protect her.

[Benry]

Frank heard Shinji ask him if he was any good with guns. He decided to answer while he changed, keeping his voice low. "I've been shooting pistols, shotguns, and rifles since I was a small boy. I guess you could say I'm pretty good; I'm probably best with my pistol. The name's Frank; damned good to meet you. I'd shake your hand, but as you can probably see, I'm a bit busy now. I wasn't really taking this very seriously, but I'm pretty sure we just got teleported somehow, so I'm going to try and take that guy's advice now. Did you grab one of them suitcases, or any guns?" Frank said after he fully wore his suit.

“Um” Shinji nodded his head meaning yes. “I- I grabbed this strange weapon,” he said showing Frank the x-gun. “My name is Shinji.” To Shinji this guy was very strange. Was he really that friendly or was he just making a bluff so Shinji would give him his gun? No! He would not fall for his trick again. How many times had he been victim of people he thought of as ‘nice’ in his school. He would not hand over the gun in any way. “We should use it together.” He said to Frank. He didn’t want to sound to hostile either. This guy might just jump at him and get his gun. He had to play it smart.

Lance saw the scenery change right after he felt a hand touch his shoulder. He wasn't ready. He hadn't completed his preparation. He tried to shrug off and dash for a sword hilt. Trying to grab the closest one before he lost his hands however he was too late. He spun around to face the person who had touched him.

"You shouldn't ever touch anyone once the ball is open. It brings enemies into safe zones, and brings the unprepared out into the mission area." Lance said, staring intently at Hikeda, before Lance put the controller's wrist strap on and viewing the map, searching for the targets.

“Sorry didn’t know that.” Hikeda said as he let go of Lance almost instantly, feeling a bit dumb. He was the officer here however he was being treated like a mere citizen. He should be the one protecting others.

"Kill anything with a red dot. Green dots are others who have these devices." Lance stated as he surveyed the surrounding area and the map as best he could. Preparing to draw and fire his X-Gun if anything moved fast towards him.

“That’s cool.” Mugen said smiling. “However I fucking forgot to take my suit. Do you think I run any danger?” He said as he wiped off sweat from his forehead. “Also how does a sword pop out of this? It’s the only weapon I got.”

Dan gulped as he saw people start transferring out. " Oh crap, not good". He thought as he looked around the room. He saw the others start to fidget and some start to get a primal instinct in their eyes. Turning his head he noticed a door that had previously been shut open. It was by the Black Ball and Dan was sure he saw two people go in there before.

However before he could do anything else, his body froze and began transferring out along with Kale. After they grabbed they gears, it was Keiichi’s and Alejandro’s turn now. The only people left in the room were Mariana, Natsuki and John.

As she was still wearing the suit Mariana asked Natsuki what she thought it was going on. However before either of the females could talk more, they were both transferred outside along with John. No everybody was fully transported and it seemed like they were split in two groups.

The first one consisted of Lance, Hikeda, Mugen, Kale, Keiichi, Dan and Alejandro. The second one was made of Frank, Shinji, Natsuki and Mariana. It seemed like gantz had been a bit unfair considering how he had split up the groups

Now everybody was fully transported however no one could see anything expect the mist. Then, suddenly those who had the controllers would notice fist as a ‘beep’ sound was emitted from them. Red dots appeared everywhere on the map and both groups could feel the earth rumpling as they saw the ground break and hands started coming out from it.

If Lance was seeing the controller, he would notice a red dot just where he was however there was nothing in sight. Then suddenly a hand appeared as it tried to grab Lance’s leg. It was sticky and patched up in many places and it had a green color. It looked just like a zombie’s arm.

In the other group Natsuki began screaming as zombie’s had surrounded them. “Help please!!” She screamed as she began retracting however she didn’t know where to go. Shinji was also scared. He had not ever imagined seeing something like that for real. He had seen the picture in the black ball however having it in front of you was an entirely different thing. You could hear it coming closer, the sticky and disgusting figure. Also its smell was disgusting. Shinji’s leg began trebling. He had risen his x-gun however he was to shocked to press the triggers. The aliens were slowly advancing towards them.

[Al]

"Didn't that ball say something about killing Frankenstein?" Keiichi asked upon teleportation as he observed his surrondings. The ball had read "Frankenstein Alien", yet this was just some graveyard.

His question in the air as he looked to Lance as the noise from the ground had come, along with the hands grasping at Lance's leg. Immediatly Keiichi sat on top of the gravestone nearby in case more hands sprouted from the ground he was standing on. The thought occurred to him of what he was doing, which he felt quite unsettling, almost as the dead rising.

"This is like Biohazard or something." Keiichi blurted aloud while pointing the X-gun he grabbed from the racks at the ground. If these were aliens, they looked enough like zombies that the head might still be its weakness. A fight for their lives, at least the assumptions of danger from Lance's words were seeming more plausible than before to Keiichi.

[XenoD]

Dan widened his eyes as the freaky Frankenstein Aliens started appearing. " Aww man"! He shouted as he dashed forward and jumped over one of the Aliens. Landing hard, he noticed Lance and promptly stuck to him. " Dude, I'm an extreme gamer myself, but this is nuts"! Strate screamed as a Alien shuffled towards him.
Raising his gun slowly, Dan itched his fingers on the triggers. " Pull the top one for an X-Ray". He said outloud as he clicked the trigger and saw the Aliens foreign skeleton. " Now pull both to fire". His eyes widened with fear, anticipation, and rush, as he pulled the bottom and top triggers.

[KßзŁŁ]

"Fuck, I guess it's time to see if these damned things actually blow shit up or not," Frank said, reaching down to pick up the x-rifle he had put down in order to get his suit on. He'd have to leave his street clothes off for the time being. He felt a bit exposed in his new skin tight suit, but he tried to shake that feeling as he began inspecting the x-rifle for some kind of safety. He cocked the front handle like a shotgun, and noticed that there were two triggers. He heard the zombies begin breaking through the ground, and smelled the stench of their rot.

"Everybody come to me, now! If you have a gun, let's try to figure out how to use them! There seem to be two triggers!" Frank said as he pointed his rifle at the nearest zombie and pulled the top trigger. If it didn't fire, he would try pulling the bottom trigger next.

[Benry]

((Mini Update))

Seeing Frank pull the top trigger Shinji remembered the words of the guy in the room. "Pull both triggers to fire."

"You have to press them both!" He shouted as he finally took courage seeing Frank. He pressed both triggers at a nearby alien.

[The Merc]

Lance stared down as he felt the earth beneath him move. He was now in business. Lance reached out for the hilt that the officer had shown him.

"Let me show you." Lance said as he used the strength of the suit to wrench the guys sword off him. As Lance did this, he also pointed his X-gun down at the ground, pulling both triggers twice. If he was successful in grabbing the sword off the guy, he was also planning on extending the blade and cutting through the arm to let him move away from where the blast will blow.

[xoriam]

"Aw, I can't see shit!" Kale said as he was transported to the graveyard. Then the ground begun to shake and hands could be seen coming from the earth. "Holy Hell!" Kale cried, as he jumped back from the gravestones. He took out the X-gun and waited for the rest of the body to come out.

[KßзŁŁ]

"Thanks!" Frank shouted, continuing to hold the top button while aiming at the zombie in front of him and finally pulling the bottom trigger a few times. Frank was hoping to fire several shots and disable the closest zombie so that he could move on to one of the zombies threatening someone without a gun.

[cedric]

John started to get worried when everyone around him suddenly started teleporting out of the room. Holding his gun tightly he waited until he was on of the last ones left, and then he too was teleported out.

The first thing which greeted his eyes was the dank scene of a graveyard. "Hopefully that ball was kidding when it talked about aliens", He muttered to himself.

His hopes were devastated however when out of the scenery several aliens shambled towards him and the others. And as he thought of what to do next, the guy which knew so much was grabbed on the leg. John didn't know what was happening, and if this is where people went when they died then John was none to happy about it. Switching his gun to his left hand John searched on the ground for a rock he could throw at the aliens. But all he could find was dirt, grass and grave stones. That was when John realized that he had a gun in his hand. Aiming the gun at the closest alien to him he aimed at its chest and pulled both triggers.

[Virtuoso]

Seeing the hand reach out of the ground and grab Lance, as well as the other zombies...aliens...whatever these things were rising from their graves, Alejandro didn't quite know what to think. He backed up, trying to put some distance between himself and these monstrosities, and tripped over a broken tombstone, landing on his guitar. Fortunately, it was in its case and was undamaged by the fall. Alejandro heard a strange noise behind him and tilted his head back, only to find that there was yet another one of these abominations behind him. He quickly scrambled to his feet, Lance's words running through his head: Pull both triggers to fire...the rifle, fires explosive ammunition...pull both triggers to fire...pull both triggers...both triggers.
Alejandro raised the X-rifle and aimed at the monster's head. Years of handling his guitar had left Alejandro with steady hands, but they still shook a little, considering the situation. He squeezed both triggers at the same time...and nothing happened.

"Ay caramba," Alejandro muttered under his breath, backing up and pulling the triggers repeatedly. He then tripped -over the same tombstone as before, in fact- and landed on his back once again. Lying there, he aimed up at the horror that was looming over him, and kept pulling the triggers, both at the same time, hoping he wouldn't die on his back.

[Cmdr. Maegil]

Mariana freaked at the undead horrors - she was bracing herself for some mad scientist's castle, instead she ends up on a cemetery...
Overhearing the men, she remembered she was holding a weapon."Both triggers, press both triggers, that's right. My kids are the ones who like this sort of thing, not I!"
Stepping back, she started shooting at whatever tried to approach.

[Benry]

“Fuck you!” Mugen could be heard screaming as he instantly pulled his arm to his chest so Lance would not be able to grab his sword. “This is the only thing I got you fucking coward.” He screamed as he jumped away from Lance. That guy was about to shoot.

Lance aimed for the zombie’s hand and instantly pressed both triggers. “What the-“ Hikeda said as the ground exploded sending dust all over the place. The one who had caused the explosion, Lance, could be seen down on the ground, his x-gun still in his hand. Luckily it was an x-gun for would it have been an x-rifle the consequences would be grave. However Dan, who had jumped over one of the aliens to get to Lance, landed just where the explosion hit and that send him flying. Zombies started approaching them and if they weren’t quick to recover they would die. His gun flew out of his hand and landed near Hikeda.

“Holy fucking shit!” Mugen screamed. He had gotten away from the explosion so he was alright however all of the aliens had now appeared on the surface. Mugen quickly looked at the hostler of the sword and found two buttons. He pressed the bottom one however nothing happened. “Shit!” He screamed as one alien got too close to him. But just in that moment its head exploded. It was Keiichi who had shot it in the head but Mugen didn’t know. “Fuck!” He screamed. Just when he thought the zombie died it began moving again, without a head. “Are these things undead?” He said as he finally pressed the other button and the sword extended. “This is the best!” He said as he got into his wild stance. “Come now!” Mugen dashed forward at the alien and used all his power to slice it in half. It was very hard without the suit but he managed to do so. He then proceeded to go and help Dan and Lance. However he didn’t notice that there was a white substance right in the middle of the alien’s body which was cut in half. It was like a sort of ball. What could it be?

Alejandro was shocked at what was happening and when an alien appeared right in front of him, he just pulled both triggers right before the alien grabbed his with his right hand. They were big hands and were able to lift Alejandro up from his neck. If he wasn’t wearing a suit, his head would probably explode. Just in that moment the alien’s head exploded but that didn’t cause it to let Alejandro go. He had to do something quick or he would suffocate. Suddenly its leg exploded, causing the alien to lose balance and fall, thus letting Alejandro go. If he would lift his head he would see it was all thanks to Kale. Now they had the opportunity to shoot it.

John didn't know what was happening, and if this is where people went when they died then John was none too happy about it. Switching his gun to his left hand John searched on the ground for a rock he could throw at the aliens. But all he could find was dirt, grass and grave stones. That was when John realized that he had a gun in his hand. Aiming the gun at the closest alien to him he aimed at its chest and pulled both triggers. This caused the alien to stop moving and stare at a moment at its chest before it exploded. But you could see a white substance disappearing and in that moment the alien was reduced to dust.

Hikeda had seen all this. It seemed as that boy had unintentionally discovered the alien’s weak point. Taking the gun near him he screamed to all the others; “The chest, shoot it at the chest!” He aimed for two aliens that were directed towards Lance and Dan and as he locked the x-gun on one he shot both triggers. Just as he was about to do so with the other one he could feel his right leg being pulled under the ground. “Dammit!” He screamed as he tried to resist but the power of the alien was too big. His only alternative was to shoot near his leg.

"Fuck, I guess it's time to see if these damned things actually blow shit up or not," Frank said, reaching down to pick up the x-rifle he had put down in order to get his suit on. He'd have to leave his street clothes off for the time being. He felt a bit exposed in his new skin tight suit, but he tried to shake that feeling as he began inspecting the x-rifle for some kind of safety. He cocked the front handle like a shotgun, and noticed that there were two triggers. He heard the zombies begin breaking through the ground, and smelled the stench of their rot.

"Everybody come to me, now! If you have a gun, let's try to figure out how to use them! There seem to be two triggers!" Frank said as he pointed his rifle at the nearest zombie and pulled the top trigger. If it didn't fire, he would try pulling the bottom trigger next.

Seeing Frank pull the top trigger Shinji remembered the words of the guy in the room. "Pull both triggers to fire."

"You have to press them both!" He shouted as he finally took courage seeing Frank. He pressed both triggers at a nearby alien.

"Thanks!" Frank shouted, continuing to hold the top button while aiming at the zombie in front of him and finally pulling the bottom trigger a few times. Frank was hoping to fire several shots and disable the closest zombie so that he could move on to one of the zombies threatening someone without a gun.

Their combination of shots worked. The zombie closest to Frank exploded in a big pile of flesh and when one of the shots got him in the middle of the chest, the white substance exploded and the zombie turned to dust. However nor Frank nor anyone else was able to see the white substance so they wouldn’t know what was its weak point. More and more zombies were closing in them. They had to act fast because they were surrounding them. Natsuki was behind the boys. She was trembling and if you listened closely you could hear her heavy breath. “Please you have to shoot them now!” She screamed as the creatures got closer and closre,


On the other hand, the strange business woman, Mariana, couldn’t believe at all these horrors she was seeing. This was just too much. Hearing the two male members of their ‘team’ Mariana remembered that she had a weapon too and she raised he gun to shoot at these creatures, however she didn’t notice one coming from behind her. Just when she smelled his stinky smell he reached for her with his big, powerful arms and grabbed her from behind. She had her x-gun in hand but she couldn’t lift her hand since it was locked by the alien’s arms. The alien opened his mouth wide as he screamed before impaling his teeth in her neck. However, thanks to the suit it didn’t pierce anything, althouth he was still trying. She had to do something quick.

If she would scream out loud probably the other gantzers would hear her and help her out, although they were in no better situation than her.

Keiichi watched Mugen and the alien he had accidentally fired at, surprised to the result of the shot.

"Explosive ammunition too, eh? When did I pull the triggers to make it sound that strange noise?" the skeptic mused in his head. He looked to the others in front of him, and then behind. However the fog preventing him from seeing anything caused him to feel uneasy with sitting on a gravestone where something could be running at him from behind.

Keiichi moved to his feet while holding his X-gun at the alien, searching it with the x-ray screen, then moved it so that it would show through its chest at recalling the words Hikeda spoke after seeing John fire earlier. He would pull both triggers of his gun the moment he noticed it moving, however he desired to find out what caused the weak spot. Whether it was just the lack of structure at that region or some alien really had been there, that was something to know along with if the aliens still had human-like structure with their zombie forms.

"That kid said to aim for the chest right?" he asked to Alejandro and Kale, wanting to be sure of what he did with the alien still alive.

Dan chattered his teeth as the Zombie Aliens came forward. " Aww shit! Come on man! Why now? Why here"? Dan's body shook with...rage? " I'm really gettin' tired of this shit"! He cried out as he raised both his X-Guns and started shooting at the Aliens. As he did he moved forward a little so that now he had his back to a gravestone. Hopefully this made it harder for any Aliens to sneak up on him. " Motherfuckers"!

Frank dropped back and ran towards Natsuki, thinking to grab her and pull her towards Shinji. On his way to her, though, he couldn't ignore the zombie he was passing within feet of holding on to Mariana from behind. All thought of babysitting Natsuki over to where Shinji and himself could protect her flew from Frank's mind, as he abruptly stopped in his tracks, shifted his weight, and lunged toward Mariana, meaning to fire off a punch with his free hand, hoping to hit the zombie with it right in the face.
