20 (POV) Nishijo - Part 1

God does not exist ... people's lives are so minuscule, that's the reality. But in the event that God does exist, this would not be a benevolent being of that I am sure.

I, Nishijo Ichiro, have been living these hunts for a year, surviving. I have managed to get eighty-seven points, only thirteen points more and I am free. But I wonder, will I find true freedom? Izumi, did you find her?.

I look around. I find myself in an alley. The place reeks of urine, there are garbage cans on the sides and some rubbish on the floor. I've just been sent by Gantz.

"This place is a dump ..." I complain as I press the change of frequency on my radar. Change the frequency of the light, keep track of others and wait for the right moment to strike. That is the way to survive that I have thought. The method that has kept me alive all this time.

I take my gun and wait calmly.

A few minutes later the tall guy arrives. Look than handsome guy, he's the kind of guy girls go crazy for. People like him are magazine models, they are popular with everyone and they always take advantage of what they can. And they have nothing but an empty brain, haha.

"Where am I ...?" (Hojo). He says inquiring.

I joke in my thoughts, I observe how the 'pretty boy' looks around, I think his name is Masanobu Hojo. At his side, another person begins to form, Because of her figure she is a woman ... the long hair covers her face . Mmm ... Was that person in the room? what the hell? She looks like Sadako from the Ring movie.

This is my 'team'? Shit!

I keep silent and watch what they do. Both of them are wearing their own suits and the handsome guy carries an pistol of gantz, it was because of that damn hypocrite that did told him earlier, that Kato.

The guy started walking out of the alley. That girl follows him and then she hugs him by the waist from behind.

"What are you doing ?! Get off!" (Hojo). He yells at her angrily.

"No way ..." (Sadako). She quickly rejects him.

"I'm going to hit you" (Hojo). The pretty boy threatens her, he sounds so unbelievable.

"Oh, how scary ..." (Sadako). She did make fun of him.

Uff ... Really? Are they really flirting? Stupids. The people who come into the room really think they are still alive. However, our lives are no longer ours. We are fucking copies and that's the truth, that's what I think.

They went out into the street and I follow them in stealth a few meters behind. There are several blocks of houses, some apartments, I can say that this neighborhood is Itabashi. Our 'team' walks on the sidewalk. I must be alert, no one else has been transported from the room, surely the aliens are more than one.

Today I will kill anything that goes ahead, I will reach a the hundred points and I will be free no matter what it costs. I will be free!.

I look at the radar screen, many of them are marked in a large crowd to the northeast and one to the southwest. No more targets are shown. Of the people in the room, a few unlucky ones are very close to that crowd, hahaha. Others appeared a little further to the northwest.

"What's up with this? It's the second taxi driver to pass, but we're being ignored" (Hojo). The 'pretty boy' speaks calling my attention again. I think he's trying to go home.

"We can go for a night walk ..." (Sadako). The girl approaches him again.

"Stalker, just leave me alone" (Hojo). He talks and keeps walking. She chases him. I'm going after them.

We walked and two streets ahead, we find a couple of old women talking at the entrance of an apartment. It is a three-story building, with balconies on one side and different windows on the outside. Around it there are some picturesque houses. The attractive guy tried to talk to them but they continued talking as if he were not there, as if his presence was invisible, he was completely ignored.

"They can't see us! Does that mean we're dead ..?" (Hojo). He said in surprise, however he does not seem to have gone mad but is accepting it. The pair of old women continue talking a meter from him.

"Wow, are we supernatural ghosts ...?" (Sadako) She said in amazement. What is ironic, in that movie Sadako is a vengeful ghost. This is going slowly.

"We need to ask someone for more information, then I'll go home. I think I'll find them with this thing" (Hojo). He talks and takes a radar of gantz out of his pocket, must have taken it in the room. He tried and then understood how to use it. The elderly women entered the department. Sadako stayed where she was, watching him. I am three meters behind them.

"Someone is close, coming towards us. The marks increase, there is more than one ..." (Hojo). He spoke quickly.

Someone is coming? This does not give me a good feeling.

I take a position behind a lamp post. I hold my weapon with both my hands and raise it. I look at the crossroads we had passed. I am ready! Come on!

"Who are they? Does that indicate it?" (Sadako). She asked.

"With this I can't know" (Hojo). I hear him speak. I keep looking and the wait only lasted a few moments.

In the middle of the street, a damn robot walks slowly towards here, he looks so stupid. His body produces squeaking noises with every movement he makes, he is noisy. He has the appearance of a mechanized person with normal clothes. On the ground, he is followed by a group of small birds. I hear the same sound behind me. I turn my head and see beyond the Hojo and Sadako another one coming in the opposite direction.

"That's a robot ..? What the fuck ...?" (Hojo). The pretty boy comments.

Only thirteen points! only thirteen points! Come you !.

I aim at the one closest to me and keep him in my sights. Patience, I will wait for him to fight against the others and when I lower my guard I will kill him. Those two fools can die and be good bait for what I care.

"Yuzo-kun! Yuzo-kun!" A mechanized voice came from above. I looked up and saw another robot, flying.

They fly?! ... They must have seen us from the air and came to ambush us!

The robot landed right in front of the girl with the long hair and slapped her in her face, pushing her to the ground with a blow from his metal arm. He stands there and looks aggressively at the pretty boy.

"Ah! ... Kyaaaaaaaa ...!" (Sadako) The girl screams sterically.

"Hey! What are you doing ?!" (Hojo). The boy takes a few steps back.

The one closest to me stopped, strangely his gaze was fixed in my direction. I also look at him.

This alien can see me? Alright, alien Tanaka, come here and die!

I aim him with the sight and press the triggers on my gun.

"Kantaro! all! all together! " His robotic face deformed quickly into a more aggressive one and then he flew up, escaping.

Paff! My shots break the fence of a house in front.

"Ghh...Aaaahaaa...!" (Hojo) I hear a moan from the handsome boy and the sound similar to glass breaking but i keep my eyes on the alien.

The robot in the air opens his mouth and rays of white light are formed in it. A roar reverberates , roars in my ears and and that light comes to me. I don't waste time and shoot him again in response.

AAAARRGGGG !. The air vibrates in front of me, his attack pushed me to the ground. My ears hurt. The frequency change over me disappears.

KA-CHA !. After a delay time the alien Tanaka explodes into broken pieces of metal and splashes of purple blood rain down, everything falls on the street. The place turns bloody.

ALIEN GARBAGE I MADE YOU A SHIT FUCK!

I get up and see what happened. I see the Sadako girl lying on the floor being attacked by an alien robot, she tries to defend herself from it. The pretty boy is firing his X pistol at an alien Tanaka in the air. In the apartment, you can see the lights on from the windows, a window is broken. I think some people have been alarmed.

Well! Well! This is what I do best!

I aim at the sadako and the robot. You two go to hell!. I squeeze both triggers on my gun.

Paff! After the delay time, the alien's head swelled and exploded.

Ah! This is blood! Those robots must have meat inside or there is a living being inside them.

"Hahh ... Hahh ..." (Sadako). The girl walks away from the alien's body quickly. His black hair is now stained. I see her looking at me.

"Thank you, you saved me .... We need to help him" (Sadako). She talks to me and then looks at the handsome guy. It's strange because her hair covers her face.

"I didn't help you at all, I just did it for the points" I tell her. I've been stealthily following them from the beginning, I even shot you but she misunderstood me with a good samaritan, well I don't care.

"What can we do? That thing is fast" (Sadako). We both look up at the robot in the sky, shooting beams of light at the handsome guy, and he shoots him back .

From the ground it is very difficult, better to get more height!

"I'm going to kill him" I say and walk to the apartment. I lift my foot and slam on the door.

"Hey wait ...." I hear her behind me. But I dont care, I do not care about anyone.

Clack! It feels hard but the metal breaks, and the lock opens.

I walk inside, I see a corridor, several closed doors. I continue all the way to the stairs.

"Are they gang members? They've been making a lot of noise, it seems like a street fight" I hear a woman's voice behind a door. I ignore her and hurry up the steps, I go up.

After reaching the third floor, I walk to the window that faces the outside. I remove the latch, slide the glass pane to the side, sit against the frame and look out.

I see the pretty boy, in the same situation. Although the alien lost an arm, it continues to fly and shoot it back. Now, everyone is under me.

I really want to see them suffer, haha. I don't hate anyone, I just hate this society, because everything is screwed up, I always feel like I need to stay the course, but everything is screwed up and that's why I can never stay on it.

As my thoughts entertain me, I shoot the last alien Tanaka and watch him perish. After looking at the remains, it turns out that the aliens are some kind of bird.

I look at the radar screen, the crowd of aliens is still alive. Shit! Shit!. And what the hell happened to the members in the Northwest? They disappeared. Idiots! Have they left the perimeter or are there more aliens? The alien in the southwest is gone, someone must have killed him. Two people are moving away from that crowd of aliens. We are close, that number of robots will not be able to do it alone, I must unite this group and the other, then I will hide and wait for the end. I should have reached a hundred points, this is the real end. It's over.

Once again I met the Sadako and the pretty boy, although this time I show myself to them. I told them the way out is to kill these monsters, that our best chance is to find the others and they agreed to look for them.

Then everything happened as i planned, at this moment I meet the tall hypocrite and he is carrying a man covered in blood.

"Haha you guys look pretty miserable" I say mocking them, and I smile. All right, now there is only that big group left and it's over. Freedom! Finally is the end, I will be free.

"It's you ... I'm glad to see you, thanks Hojo" (Kato) I hear the Hypocrite guy speak, his personality really bothers me.

I look up at the night sky. I clearly see a humanoid bird hovering in the sky. It's another fucking alien! It must be the boss, I think there's something on his back. Is it a weapon?

Several flashes come out of him, scattering downward propelled with blue smoke, very fast. Motherfucker! He has an aerial mine launcher!.

I turn around, and run to get away from the explosion, I'm desperate. I hear Hojo yelling behind me saying to get away from the place, I think he saw it too. We all have no escape. THEN A BURST WAS MADE AND ARCS OF ELECTRICITY SPREAD IN MY SIGHT, COVERING MY BODY, THERE IS ONLY PAIN AND A COOL DEATH.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!. This is my last thought, as I die.
