Gantz and Sex (R-18)
Was I, XXXXXXXXX, a good person? Yes, I was once. Like all the heroes I had read about, I wanted to save the world. Also, I wanted to work in construction together with my father. Dreams. Time took those dreams away as I grew up, the bad things of others affected me and I could not protect those dreams, I had not yet grown up enough to protect what I wanted. And when I did, I no longer had them. Ironical, isn't it?.
This taught me a lesson, don't have dreams better live your life making them come true....
Returning to the situation
In the blink of an eye many nights pass. It had started again, as if it was only yesterday but it is now, gantz has a new fucking mission after almost a month. At this moment I feel the call back to that rare room, It's that jet black sphere, when a paralysis stops my whole body. Me, Kishimoto and the dog included, left our apartment.
Once again I was here, standing in front of the black sphere a little over a meter in diameter, visible beyond the balcony was the dark sky and the figure of the tokyo tower. The atmosphere in the place has an air of bewilderment and doubt, like waiting in a hospital ward, I and Kishimoto arrived wearing our black suits, we are holding hands when a crowd of strangers present turned their attention to us.
"Here came others."
"Look, these ones like costumes as cosplayers."
Some spoke.There were already nine people in the room like in the original story that I remember, they are Sei sakuraoka, the Buddhist priest, an American karateka, a fat man wearing military clothes, the soldier, two adolescents looking like slackers, Kiyoshi Miyafuji and the random man who dies first. The group establishes a conversation, I was only planning to listen but somehow we also became involved in their chatter, the priest is the focus of attention. The truth be told, I don't care if they die...
"You can ask any question you have, I will answer you within my knowledge..."(Buddhist Priest).
"Where are we? At someone's house...?"(1) One of the adolescents asks.
"To make it simple, this is the place where we are judged after we die before we go to paradise..." (Buddhist priest).
"..." (1) He looks doubtful.
"What you said...I didn't understand anything..."(2) The other adolescent complained.
" Exist those who live in paradise and those who fall into eternal damnation. Death brings us together...and this is where our destinies will be decided" (Buddhist Priest).
"Here we will be judged?" (Kiyoshi). The thin man with glasses joins in the chatter.
"To send us...to heaven or to hell..."(Buddhist Priest).
"I see...and how can we go to heaven...?"(Kiyoshi). He asked another question.
"You must raise a prayer. Namu Amida Butsu...over and over again. Those who recite the chant will go to paradise. Those who don't will fall to hell"(Buddhist Priest).
"Hahaha..." I laugh with utter contempt.
" Young man...you seem to read a lot of manga...? You must be very confused about your own death. Do you have any questions?..."(Buddhist Priest).
"Prayers are useless. This place has nothing to do with Buddhist heaven. None of us here have died yet, we are still alive, all of us!!! It doesn't matter if you think it makes sense or not. You just need to know that if you don't listen to me you're going to die... we are gathered here to hunt aliens, that's the truth" I talk to everyone in the room.
"I understand that you are confused due to the circumstances"(Buddhist Priest).
"Puff...Aliens?" "haha.." The adolescent duo make silly jokes and don't take it seriously.
"That is not the case. We have been here before. So we know how this works a little more than you do" (Kishimoto).
To start the hunt, the group has their own ideas of what was going on, fuck them. I personally would not want to relate to them, on the other hand my girlfriend will try to help them, anyway the best thing to do is to take the initiative. I am pissed off....!. How do I explain it? how do you explain what the fuck is gantz?.
From among my things, I take out a weapon, a desert eagle, there is only one way. In a matter of seconds, in front of the crowd, I brought the priest to his knees, my intention of killing is so vivid and obvious in my eyes when I put the desert eagle in his mouth. The priest was scared and could not move. And with a gun in his mouth, he couldn't even beg. He shuddered like most with the exception of the soldier.
"What is going on?! Does he have a gun?.." (Fat man).
"do not shoot!" (Kiyoshi Miyafuji).
"Madman, a desert eagle!!!" (American karateka).
"..." (Soldier).
"Kurono, stop it!"(Kishimoto).
"So do you want to try to die? I have already lived two hunts. In the first one, I was alone against a two-meter tall monstrosity. In the second one, not only did I fight aliens but also members of my own group. Can you imagine that endless terror? Otherwise shut the fuck up!" (Kurono).
" cough....cough...cough!" (Buddhist Priest).
The situation became tense, my girlfriend and the other people persuade me to separate from the buddhist priest and I do that, at the same time as, a series of rays come out of the sphere, kato arrives in the room.
As I see it, there is only one way to avoid the group getting the wrong idea, and that is 'taking care' of who would be responsible. It wasn't in my plans, but listening to it just took me out of my mind, this is gantz. you do not make a mistake!. I was not angry with him precisely, but with myself, I was underestimating the situation just like him, and believing that everything will be fine as it is after this hunt but what if it is not? THIS IS GANTZ!!!.
In the room, I didn't care what the group of newcomers or Kato and Kishimoto thought. I needed to reflect alone, so I walk out into the hallway, needing to remember everything I knew about this mission, regardless of the opinion of others. I hear Kato say 'Hey... Kei-chan...' and my girlfriend talking to me 'Kurono, wait for me....' but I ignore them.
I lean against the chest of drawers by the hallway door, duck my head and remember the important events:
* The priest dismissed the warnings of Kato and Kurono, tried to explain to everyone that the room was a test site, and most of the group believed him.
* Kurono and Sei have sex.
* The mission takes place in the Rateiin temple. Despite some casualties, most of the aliens were eliminated by the superior weaponry of the hunters. Rowdy Alien, Grumpy Alien and Daibutsu Alien were gigantic and relatively powerful.
* Kishimoto dies for his leader Kannon.
* Kannon masacra a todo el equipo gantz.
* Kurono was the only one who survived, as he was injured, Kato and Sei took him aside. Then Kato defeats the last alien, Kannon, at the cost of his life.
In the end, it's nothing I haven't thought of before, but now I am more aware of it. The flea-ridden dog and my busty girlfriend followed me here. Looking at them, you can see how innocent they are and how the weight of caring for their lives falls on my back, yet, I smile, I can handle it.
"Woof!...Woof!Woof!" The dog runs to me, rests his front paws on my waist, enthusiastic and friendly. What I can't handle is for this animal to get too attached to me....
"Kurono...you scared me...Are you ok?...where did you get a gun?"(Kishimoto). She says and looks at me with reproach.
"Sorry,...I did it for a good reason believe me...mmm..the Shirai Ryu clan has its own weapons warehouse...so I removed it from there... yes, exactly, that..." I reply her with truths and lies. I don't know what I'm saying, I just hope she believes me....
"Obviously I believe you, ..."(Kishimoto).
