Chapter 47: Before the Fight Start

"Kurono!" the other Kishimoto hurriedly rushed towards Kurono, and hugged him happily. She looked at Kurono, and asked, "Where have you been? I was waiting in the house for so long.

I thought I got killed by the Alien with many hands. Did you resurrect me? Also, how come you are suddenly so tall?"

"Actually, it's been a month since the Buddhist Aliens hunting mission." answered Kurono.

"I know about that. The two guys in the house already told me about some even. By the way, did you cheat on me?" asked Kishimoto, looking at Kurono with an angry eyes. "I saw many girls clothes in the house."

"That's their clothes." said Kurono, pointing at the girls on the side. "They are all my woman."

"Whaat!? You...you even have a relationship with many of them? Also...is that me?" As Kishimoto looked at all the girls, she saw another her in the group.

"Hello, my copy." said Kishimoto waving at the other her.

"Whose your copy. I'm a real person." pouted the other Kishimoto. "Let's change our name so that we don't confuse each other's name."

"Alright. As a copy, you should be the one who should change your name."

"Hei, that's no fair. If we are talking about copy, you are not the real either. You died, and got ressurrected here, correct? That's mean you are also just another copy." explained the other Kishimoto.

This caused Kishimoto's expression to change. He hurriedly looked at Kurono for an answer.

Kurono sighed, and said, "She is correct."

Kishimoto paled at that. However, she didn't want to change her name. It's a precious name, as it is same to Kurono's name. "Although it might be true that I'm another...copy, I have more memories than you are about the real Kishimoto. So, I should get to take the name, Kei."

"Nonono. I want that name too." said the other Kishimoto. "Let's do it this way. We will play rock-paper-scissor game. Whoever win three times, got to pick the name Kei, and the loser must change her name."

"Fine by me."

The two copy then engaged in a rock-paper-scissor game. However, the two seems to have the same mind, as the always coincide in their choice of hand. It caused the two to continue their game.

"Are they really that identical? Don't they have any differences even for a small things?" wondered Kurono.

*It's not just in their minds. When the other Kishimoto got ressurrected, she also got the same stats as the current Kishimoto. That's mean, she is as strong and as capable as the trained Kishimoto.*

"What? Why did that happened?"

*I'm not sure. Maybe it's a resonance effect?*

Sakuraoka at the side watched the two identical girls tried to beat each other in their games. She then spoke to Kurono, "How did she got ressurrected?"

"I got enough points while helping the Hong Kong team. So, I was able to resurrect her back." explained Kurono.

"I see. You must be feeling really happy right now. You got another woman in your little harem."

"Of course I'm. Ah!"

Kurono got pinced on his waist. Another pinch came on the other side, and the last one on his back. The girls seems to really 'care' for him.

At this time, a few more people came into the Gantz Room. There are the four office worker, and a little kid. Adding to the existing Kurono's group, and the other Kishimoto, there are now fifteen people inside the Gantz Room.

'You guys now going to finish this person off.

Target: Oni Alien

Characteristics: Strong

Likes: Women, delicacies, ramen

Dislikes: Strong people

Quotes: "Such pieces of trash".

"It's like what leader said. We are going to fight the Oni Alien." said Sakurai, with a pale face. His heart is thumping rapidly. Will I die this time around? thought Sakurai nervously.

Kurono saw that and said, "Don't worry. As of right now, you are more than twice as powerful as the you who died. I'm sure you chances to return alive is almost hundred percent assured."

"Really?"

"Of course. I came back just to make sure that you all have a great chance to stay alive, and be freed from Gantz." replied Kurono.

"Then why not say that we are hundred percent assured to stay alive?"

"Well, I wanted to say so. However, me coming back in time already caused several event in this world to change. So, I don't know if I can say for sure, that you will all live."

everyone showed a solemn face as they listened to Kurono.

"Excuse me, do you guys know what is going on here?" one of the newbies suddenly asked Kurono's team.

"Let me brief them." Sakurai volunteered himself to be the explainer. He then explained the current situation to the four office worker. He also warned them to wear the Gantz suit.

As for the little kid, he was staring at Kaze, and mumbling 'Muscle Rider'. This caused Kaze to be embarrassed as he got watched while changing his clothes into the suit.

Kaze shooed the kid, "Go away kid."

"...kay." the kid lowered his head in sadness. Kaze was feeling guilty when he saw the kid become sad. However, he tried not to care much.

Not long after that, the group were starting to get teleported out. The first to get teleported out are the four office workers.

"The teleporting is already starting. Takeshi. Your name is Takeshi, right? Please wear your suit." urged Reika. However, Takeshi is not listening, and stayed silent.

Kaze saw it and still feel guilty. He then decided to help the kid. "Hey, put on your clothes."

"Okay." hearing Kaze, Takeshi smiled and nodded. However, Takeshi got teleported away before he got to wear his suits. Reika took the boy's suit and said, "I'll bring his suit."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, Ayaka also started to get transferred. She looked at Sakata with a little worries on her face.

"Just wait for me there." said Sakata. Ayaka nodded, and then she got teleported out.

Kurono looked at Sakata with weird expression. "Are you and her..."

Sakata smiled at Kurono, and nodded, saying, "We are dating."

"...I see. Look like you made your move."

"That's right. As you can see, all of us are already tied to the Gantz. We will not know when we will die. So, better take this chance to experience a family life before it's too late."

"Family life?"

"Well, I already decided to marry her next month." said Sakata. "That's if we still alive after this."

"We will live." said Kurono, giving sot confidence to everyone. "You better not forget to invite us on your wedding day."

"Of course. I'll give you all an invitation cards." confirmed Sakata. He then got teleported out.

"Sensei and leader are already making their move to start their own family. Leader are even taking five women as his wives. Now, it's leave the two of us, Kaze-san. When do we meet our own partner?" said Sakurai, a little bit regretful that he hadn't met a girl partner in Gantz.

Kaze looked disdainfully at this psychic boy. He already saw him walking in Shinjuku with a cute girl. Why is he still wanted a partner inside Gantz?

"Noo!!"

"Yes!! I win!"

At this time Kurono saw the two who engaged in rock-paper-scissor game, already done deciding who get to retain the original name, and who is the loser.

The one who lost was the other Kishimoto. She rushed towards Kurono and said, "Kurono, this is unfair. I should be using Kei as my name too."

"Hey, don't go complaining when you already lose in the game." scolded the winner Kishimoto.

"Nonono. I won't change my name. Kurono help me convince her." begged the other Kishimoto.

Kurono sighed. "Alright, stop with this argument. How about this, as my woman, I'll give you an exclusive name."

"Your woman?... alright, if you say so." the other Kishimoto nodded while blushing a little.

Kurono then come up with a name. "You are beautiful, and also my companion. So, your name should be Rei."

"Rei... that's a good name. Well, fr now on, my name shall be Rei then. I'm Rei Kishimoto."

"Hey Kurono. I want my own name too. Pick one for me."

"Hei, why are you suddenly changing your mind? asked Rei.

"The name Kei is the same with Kurono's name. It will only complicate things when we need to call each other. So I want to have a different name too." said Kishimoto.

"Well, I wish for you to be always happy, like you can dance in the air in happiness. So, let's say your name as Fei." said Kurono.

"Fei huh. That's simple. I'll take it."

The two Kishimoto was now changed their name to be Rei and Fei. Both of them were happy to get a name from Kurono.

After that all of them got out of Gantz Room.

...

In the outside, the four Vampire Bosses were meeting with the Oni Alien.

"Do you want us to help you kill these hunters?" asked Hikawa.

"We don't need it. Just sit back, and watch the show." said the Oni Alien Boss.

"Yeah. With us here, there is no way these hunters will be able to live after this." said another Oni Alien. This Oni Alien look a bit taller than the first one, but still have an identical face to the Oni Alien Boss.

"This is...your brother?"

"Yup. Now, do you believe that those hunters can survive fighting us?"

"That... seems to be impossible."

"Hahaha." the Oni Alien laughed heartily. "Well, just watch us make good work of these hunters then."

The Oni Alien then checked his phone, and saw that the hunters already appeared.

"Go, take them down."

The group of aliens then moved out towards the targets.

At the teleportation place, the Gantz Fighters gathered first for a briefing. Before the fight start, their Leader decided to tell them some information about their current mission.

As everyone gathered at one place, Kurono checked out and counted his team. He nodded when he saw that everyone is already here. He then started briefing them.

"Alright, listen guys. The mission this time is gonna be different from the rest of the previous missions. The targets is aliens in human disguise.

If I'm not mistaken, there should be two to three hundreds minions, six sub-leader, and two bosses of aliens that we need to tale down. Each of these aliens have their phones that show our whereabout. I'll tell you about their characteristics.

First the minions. These guys can transform into an octopus like monsters, and can throw out some acids that could melt even the suits. So, be wary about their abilities.

Second is the sub-leader. You all new guy will not stand a chance fighting them. So, run away if you saw them. The bosses and the sub-leader have this habit of being arrogant. So, they might just let you go away.

Then there is the boss. He usually challenge the strongest of our people. So, if you saw someone who asking you about whose the boss, don't go fight him. He is the boss. Well, you can go challenge him if you wish to die.

Lastly, if we kill all the minions and sub-leader, the time limit of the hunting mission will be removed, and our invisibility will also be removed. From now on, just think that we are visible to the people around us."

Kurono ended his briefing with a long breath. Everyone turned serious at his long briefing. This is the first time they heard such a long speech from their Leader. It's shows how dangerous the mission this time.

"Last reminder. Your four old man, don't think this is just a game." Saying so, Kurono hold out his hand and lifted all of the four office worker up, causing them to turn pale. Some fire started appearing in their surrounding causing them to feel hot. However, it vanished and they all got back down on the ground.

"That's just a taste from my ability. If you face the enemies, if you still think that this is just playing some mission game, then I say, see you in underworld." said Kurono.

"Now, let's move out!"
