19 (POV) Kato - Part 2

"It can't be ..." I say incredulous.

"There are too many ... Ahhh ... damn, die!" (Masashi). The schoolmaster yells and shoots the new ones. He shoots consecutively several times.

"No! Stop! Don't do it!" I run to him, trying to stop him. But I feel a strong blow to my side. My whole body was pushed away. Thrown further back. When I realized it, one of the robots pounced on me. Pushing me and hugging me against the ground. Getting on top of me

"Yuzo-kun ...!" He spoke as his robotic mouth opens right in front of my eyes, producing rays of white light with impetus.

He caught me. Is he going to kill me? Like the previous guy?Am I going to die again?

Many thoughts go through my mind in a moment.

////////////////////////////////// FLASHBACK //////////////////////////////////

"We did our best, but she passed away. I'm sorry, boy" The medical-surgeon speaks to me. But I can't understand. No, I can't comprehend it.

"...." I swallow my saliva. I am shocked.

Forty minutes ago, I was at school. I was called to the principal's office, then I was notified that my parents were in a car accident. I was with them this morning, like every day. However, I will never see my parents again. I couldn't say goodbye to them.

I feel the tears that come out of my eyes.

Dad! Mom!

I can't stop thinking about them. What was the last thing they told me?

The scene of our farewell the present day appeared in my mind.

'Masaru ... Did you see my uniform ?. Ah! you don't forget to stop by Ayumu when you come back. Your mother and I will go out' (Father)

'You are the eldest, take care of Ayumu until we return' (Mother)

In a hospital ward, even though many people are present. It is the first time that I feel so alone and I feel so much pain. A pain in my chest that I never felt before, It's painful.

Today's sadness along with the memory of my parents will be unforgettables.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

'Take care of Ayumu until we get back' My mother's voice brought my senses back. I'm going to live. I will live.

I push my head onto his metal shoulder.

"Nnng ...!" I feel the force coming from my muscles, power flowing through them. My arms hold him waist.

"Yuzooo ... ooo -..." He speech distorted, shaking his body non-stop.

I will live! There is an important commitment that I must fulfill !!!

Paff! Fragments of concrete shoot out of the floor.

"Aaah ... Grrr!" I scream loudly and bite my teeth. I do all the strength I can do in my arms. I am grasping his body as much as possible.

stay still, stay still! Just don't moves!

"Kanta -.... aaaroooo" He tries to get out of my grip but I hold him even harder. We struggle on the floor.

"AAAAAAHHH!" A tragic scream and many machine grinding sounds, sound throughout the courtyard. I can't tell who is the person that is screaming.

We turn and i stay on top of him. My arms crossed his mechanized body and the metal of his body buckled. Then something unthinkable happened. His face and the top of his head parted. Emerging from within an anthropomorphic bird species. A body of blue feathers, a green head and a beak lined with big sharp teeth.

"Gyoeeeee...Gyoeeeee...!!!" The grotesque bird screeches in front of me. His mouth produces a lot of saliva. I can't help but crawl back and watch him, he looks unreal.

What? What's going on? I do not understand. Is this what is inside each robot? A bird alien without wings. It has a terribly bad smell and is covered in drool. They are the real aliens?

"What happens to you?" I speak, but he doesn't seem to understand my words.

"Kueh ... Kueh ... Ku-..." He just squealed a little more and stopped. He stopped moving his body, as if he had died.

"Hey! You" I reach out and touch his body. He just died. I killed him. I turn around and look at what has happened.

"Help me ... It hurts ..." (Hatanaka). One of the tanaka aliens seems to have attacked him with that sonic shock wave. The yakuza lost his eyes, now he has two bloody cavities in its stead. His entire face was bathed in blood. The alien is dragging him on the ground, grabbing him from his foot, taking him inside the house.

"Aaaahhh!" (Masashi) The schoolmaster is being grabbed by five of them, they surrounded him against a wall and are shooting at him with their attacks.

I must help them. I can't let them die.

I grab the dropped firearm and get up off the ground. I run to the yakuza first.

"Leave him alone!" I say and I aim the gun at the alien robot that is dragging him. I shoot him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The bullets only produce sparks and dents on his back, It's like these have no effect.

"All together?" The alien's head turned 180 degrees, from front to back. He opens his mouth like everyone else and beams of white light are produced. I see the air vibrate in front of me, he attacks me.

"Hahh, don't fuck with me!" I keep running.

Kei-chan you said that the black suit would protect us, right? I trust you.

"Yuzo-kun!" The blast of energy came out of his mouth, pointing at me. It hits me. I feel my eardrums burst with pain.

"AHHHH!" I walk over to him and push my head under his chin. I hug him in my arms.

I must do it! Remember, like a moment ago!

Ka-cha! I hear the sound of metal cracking.

My muscles were filled with strength again and with a grip I ripped his mechanized suit.

"Gueeh ... Gueeh...Gueeh..!" An alien bird came out again from his head. This time he got out and ran into the house.

"Ah! ... My leg ... hurts" (Hatanaka). The yakuza says lying on the ground, it seems that the pain brought him to reality.

"Wait .. we'll get out of here, we'll get help" I speak to him and lift him off the ground, put his arm over my shoulder. I support his body with mine.

"I'm dying ... I'm dying" (Hatanaka) He talks, but I think his eardrums exploded and he can't hear me, he looks bad.

I turn my head and look at how the professor is being attacked by five other aliens. I see a pool of blood around them, the teacher's screams sound throughout the courtyard. The place is a nightmare out of scary dreams.

Sorry, I just can't beat everyone. Kei-chan, what would you do in this situation?

While they attack Professor Masashi, I take the yakuza with me out of here. We fled from that house, and we got away as quickly as possible. We walked down the street, hoping to find someone else. Everything seems like a quiet suburb, lined with luxurious houses and other residences. I think it's Itabashi. We have walked 3 blocks down, further away from the aliens and we stopped at a corner.

"Are you still alive? Hey!" I try to move it around a bit while carrying him.

"Cough ... It hurts too much ... I want a cigarette" He speaks, but I think he's delusional, his words are meaningless.

"Kantaro!" Surprisingly I hear a voice above us. I lift my head and look at one of the Tanaka aliens opening its mouth on us. He is forming his attack.

Curse! One chased us! I can't stop it!

"And this is another one ..." Someone spoke and I watch as the alien robot swells and dies, exploding into pieces of metal and purple blood, falling on the ground.

"Who?" I say and look to my left, in the direction that I did hear the voice. I see three people. Nishijo, the girl with the hair covered face and the guy named Hojo.

"Hey, Kato ... It's me" (Hojo). He talks while smiling. He holds one of Gantz's pistols in his hand.

"Haha you guys look pretty miserable" (Nishijo). He says mocking us, strangely he's smiling.

"It's you ... I'm glad to see you , thanks Hojo" I say relieved. All this time I was in danger, and in danger. But now I feel more secure.

In a second everything happened in a moment.

As I watch, I watch as Hojo and Nishijo look up at the sky in surprise. I hear Hojo yell saying us that get away from the place. Nishijo tried to run in another direction. The girl stood at the side of Hojo, watching him.

A BURST DID SOUND AND RAYS OF ELECTRICITY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. I DID WATCH HOW HOJO BECAME ASH AND THEN THE OTHER TWO BURNED RAPIDLY. ELECTRIC ARCS BURNED THE WHOLE CORNER, THE RAYS OF BLUE LIGHT BURNED THE PERSON WHO WAS TO MY SIDE. ALL OF MY ARM AND ONE LEG DISAPPEARED.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" I screamed and fell to the ground. The pain reaches the depths of my being. I do not understand what happened, who attacked us.

I look up at the night sky, there seems to be something in it but I can't see it correctly. The moonlight lit up the dark sky and I could see it. It's an Alien bird with wings. I feel like he's looking at me too. Was everything I did vain? I'm going to die?. I closed my eyes.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM !!!. A SECOND EXPLOSION SOUNDS.

I feel the ground is shaking and the hot air heats up on my face. I opened my eyes again and in the distance I see a great blaze of fire rising from the ground, dust and debris flying through the air. Rising higher and higher and slowly falling.

I don't understand what happens but the alien bird is flying in the direction of the explosion, forgetting about me. He flies in the direction of the alien lair.

My body hurts too much, I don't think I can resist anymore. I lose consciousness.

I REALLY WANT TO SEE MY BROTHER .... I WANT TO COME HOME ... GOD ...
