(OOC This will serve the purpose of an RPG demo.)
Suddenly, with a lurch from the grungy and derelict hospital that he was fighting in, Jayden realized he was back in the large room. This time it seemed to be filled with even more people. The ball flickered back on again. This time it was calling him, someone named Aqil, and another one called Sayomi.
The ball shot open, revealing the weapons, and the force field went up. The timer click on.
00:30:00 00:29:59 00:29:58
Jayden let out a small groan as he walked apprehensively to the ball again. "Fucking hell." he muttered under his breath. He lost twice already, one hunt resulting in his actual death. He noticed a pair black brass knuckle on the ground, along side next to the large and heavy H-Gun.
The ball said that he and the two others would be fighting an "Insult Alien". Hopefully it would be better than fighting the Fatass alien that landed him in this purgatory in the first place...
As he waited, he picked up and X-Gun and holstered it.
Inventory Jayden: Suit, X-Gun

What was this...
Sayomi stood like a statue for a moment, motionless and cold. The last thing she could remember was fighting. Fighting for her life and now this? The inner workings of Sayomis thoughts started to slowly turn as logic became dominant in her clouded mind. She had died, and now she had returned. But for what. The soft coco eyes of Sayomi slowly scanned the room that held her. To her front, as per usual, sat the black pearl-esque ball, glossy in its loneliness.
This was hard to understand; was this Sayomis second death? No. This wasn't her second death this was more her third death. Her original being the one that brought her to the hellish cat and mouse game. Her eyes continued to scan slowly over the room. It was a normal apartment, spacious only because there was not a single piece of furniture aside from the ball in the middle of the room. The floor was wooden as per usual, and the walls a blank white. It reminded her of being in a nut house and Sayomi felt a little part of her go crazy at due to the décor.
Moving on impulse that Gantz had made her learn the hard way, Sayo went to the weapons and started to gather what she would need. An x-gun, which was placed on her hip, as well as an x-rifle. It was useful for when she had distance against an enemy. Taking a sword, Sayomi placed it in it's designed holser and began to reach for a controller. 'Jin isn't here.' She thought to herself as she connected the device to her suit. 'That must mean he's not dead…right?' She asked herself, trying to remember as much as she could from the final moments before she came here. But so much was coming up short, and she couldn't piece anything together. It was like a jigsaw puzzle but all the pieces were white.
Looking at her fellow team mates, Sayomi paused for a moment and simply stated from behind the veil of her hair. Flipping her head, Sayos dark hair flicked back and rested against her back. She didn't recognize these people, so she had to wonder how long she had been dead…
"I'm Sayomi. Who are you two?" She asked.
Sayomi's Inventory: Suit w/Controller, x-Rifle (Hand) x-gun (hip holster) g-sword (at her waist)

"Im used to this," said Aqil to no one in particular. "Killing these aliens over and over..over...and...over..overoveroverover...and over.."
Did he lose his mind? No of course not. Aqil had a good head on his shoulders. Hell, if he'd never entered Gantz he would probably be a top student in his high school class.
Two unfamiliar faces made their presences known to Aqil. Both had already walked to the ball and took weapons. Aqil shrugged and with that shrug he walked over to the ball instinctively. He snatched up an X-Gun and holstered that on his right, the G-Sword he holstered on his left. The familiar H-Gun that the infamous Louis humped daily leaned lazily against the black ball. He took that, too, without a second thought. One of the presences from before seemed to ask something. Aqil caught the question of what it asked. This it was a girl, maybe a year or 2 older than Aqil.
"Im Aqil," he introduced himself. "And your going to be here for a long time. I would know.. I would know..know..."
Aqils' Inventory: Suit w/Controller, X-Gun(in holster), G-Sword(in holster), H-Gun(in hand)

Wait a minute.... Jayden was somewhat confused. Suddenly the two other hunters started talking to each other.....but in Japanese. He had no idea what they were saying at the moment. Great, just my luck. Sure he wanted to help the others, but how could he if he had no idea what they were saying? He grabbed another X-Gun and holstered it as well before approaching the other two combatants again.
"Uh, 'scuse me, do you know any english?" He hesitantly asked.

Aqil looked down after he introduced himself. He looked at the floor then up to Jayden who spoke in English. "Holy shit, you speak English!? Ever since I moved to Japan thats all I was speaking," said Aqil obviously excited. Learning Japanese was a bitch for Ail as he could care less if he could communicate with Japanese people. But hearing English for the first time in months sent a chill up his spine

"Uhhh cool. SO does that mean yo can translate for the chick over there" Jayden kinda nodded his head in Sayomi's direction. "Oh shit, sorry, I'm Nick, by the way. Soooo, where did you die in hawaii then, you must be a tourist."
Nick glanced at Sayomi and Aqil. Both seemed like they never lived here at all. However, at the same time, it seemed that both had survived a lot longer than he had. The way they looked with, took, and handed the odd futuristic weapons seemed...right and Jayden felt a small grin hat this time wouldn't be so bad.

Oh this was perfect. After speaking to Aqil, who seemed a little unbalanced with his repeating words, the other male spoke English. Sayomi turned her head to the wall and dead stared. This was beautiful. Not only did she not have a clue who her 'team' was beyond the fact of names, but they wouldn't even be speaking the same language. Sayomi had no desire to die yet again. Dying was turning her reality into a warped version of Alice in wonderland. Except Sayomi was getting tired of this long drawn out torture.
Turning back to the two, Sayomi was quiet and patient as she listening to the words. She could recognize a few. Standard English in School offered her the basic knowledge of English. Well she could offer a little bit as far as conversation went.
" I understand, little English. " Admitted Sayomi in the best English she could. Unfortunately she had an accent, a thick one. Grinding her teeth, Sayomi didn't wait for a response, instead she brought her other hand to her face and pinched the bridge of her nose before walking towards one of the rooms. She was going to need more if she was going to go out and kill something. If there was one thing Sayomi knew about, going out with multiple weapons, and the bike was best.
By the way she grabbed the bike. B/
(Okii, fixed it in my last post Halo. Woo, I must be rusty. )

After everything, after all the pain and the suffering, Kumiko Kondou finally stood up. The wound in her throat had healed. So part of her wondered. Was this another death? Her final death? Or was this a twisted reprise, an unending nightmarish hell that she would nigh wake from. Her eyes, hooded, observed quickly everything around her. Why was it so familiar, but all the same different? Dismissing her impartial awareness, she pushed herself up and began to the weapons cache, taking a x-gun, y-gun, a sword, and most importantly, a cloaking device equipped suit. Without saying a word, she dressed herself in the nearby bathroom, before returning, all of her weapons equipped and ready for use when she needed them. Her previous experiences lead her to think she was going to rely more on her learned patterns of fighting, now. Unafraid of that, she was able to clear her mind of her past events. If only she had a proper timing for Takao. Noticing the group as a whole, she treaded to the side. Hearing someone speaking Japanese, however, she turned to the other woman (noticing her vice, and yet she couldn't see the face at all) and tried to ask a question, albeit more shakily than she wanted to. "Excuse me... But is this the same GANTZ I've met, or am I going completely out of my mind from the fact I've died twice?" The other two, men? She didn't recognize. Not that, she chided herself, she really wanted to know who in the world they were. Distrust, since these men spoke English. Gaijin? Well, it looked like this was going to be one hell of a mission...
Weapons: X-gun, Y-gun, Sword, and a suit (with cloaking device).

Jayden then noticed he neglected a third name, Kumiko. As she approached and took weapons, it all became clear. They were going to fight something big. Sweat rolled down his face and didn't wait for a question to be asked or an answer to be given.
He lurched and ran back to grab another weapon from the rack. He scooped up the Black Knuckles before he froze up. The technicolor light shot out of nowhere. Suddenly, He found himself in a foreign land. Hawaii this was not. The hustle and bustle of the crowds, the extra-tall buildings and lights, and the language:Japanese. He swiftly slipped the two knuckles onto his gloves as the three others were beamed in.
They were beamed into a large street. Hundreds of people, some serious, others rather colorful and fashionable. The long street ran parallel to another and met a point about 20 meters ahead. Basically the three streets formed a Y and the 4 of them (sayomi with her bike) were on one of the bent parts of the Y.
He looked around, tried to get familiarized with the surroundings. He waved to people, shouted. Nothing. They could not see nor hear him. This gaijin across the sea felt totally lost until he looked up at the street sign. Under the alien-like katakana, he saw in bold letters "SHINJUKU".
"Oh shit" Escaped his lips.
(Trista, Sykee, look at the Battle arena rules. That region is under hawaii. Did not post alien in yet. Just wait)

Sayomi had not seen Kumiko when she was in the room. The young woman must have been added in when Sayomi had left the others to sit atop a bike. She found herself often snagging one when she did a mission. It was her thing to be able to get away if need be. Looking back at the bitch seat, Sayomi sighed a bit as she was beamed to their location. The sound of her heart beat in her ears as she felt the tingle of transfer, she never liked this part. The young Japanese woman was literally in two places at once for a moment, and it always unnerved her in a way. Needless to say, Sayomi always had her eyes shut for the transfer.
Though when she opened her almond shaped eyes she noticed she was outside. She could feel the cool air on her face and through her hair, which was odd, since she could have swore where she was a moment before was a lot warmer. The young womans eyes shifted around as she leaned a bit on the Gantz bike. It was then she realized where they had been sent and she suddenly felt a little happier.
"Shinjuku!" She exclaimed in slight joy. Looking this way and that, Sayo took in her surroundings quickly, mapping the whole area mentally as she looked about. It was almost tragic they would have to fight here, but so was the life of one taken by Gantz. Or was it the Afterlife? Sayomi wasn't going to try to be philosophical about things. Especially trying to understand Gantz.
Another tug at her heart made her cry out with slight joy, the young woman Sayomi had missed back in the room. Kumiko. She remembered this woman. "Kumi-chan!" Called out Sayomi as she beamed with happiness. Now she wouldn't be speaking Japanese alone. Which was always a plus at least. Though she had to keep her wits about her and find her other team members. Pausing to look back, Sayomi saw the English speaking boy and Aqil easily before turning back to her bike and its controls.
It was then a familiar chill that the Gantz hunter always felt before a mission. Sayomi called it dread.

"Shinjuku.. Shinjuku.." Aqil muttered under his breath. It was certainly bustling with fleshbags and Aqil knew that such fleshbags were going to be caught in the crossfire. "Damn.. Dammit.."
He looked around to see that his team which consisted of two people he could have sworn were from Osaka based on their dialect and then some random American guy. 2 Americans and 2 Asians. Hopefully they would be enough to tackle the Insult Alien. The very first alien Aqil fought was the Insult Alien and that was tough. Real tough.

The night carried on without a hitch. The groups of people slowly began to thin out, but crowds and the constant boom of society continued to remain.
Jayden continued to slowly look around. He began to panic as he wondered where the alien was. He dropped the knuckles as he drew a X-Gun from a holster. People continued to hustle and bustle around him. Then suddenly, with a shrill, high voice, something yelled "COME AND GET IT DIPSHITS!!!" in perfect english.
More sweat and a sudden paralysis filled Jayden's Body. he swallowed his spit as he continued to scan around them. Off in the distance, one figure did not move. It was pale skinned and looked directly at him with a cocky smirk. It raised its eyebrows as a welcoming "Bring it on". On its back had 3 black skull tattoos.
The nerves finally kicked in as Jayden sheepishly raised his X-Gun, and after a moment of fumbling, fired it by pressing two triggers. He fired when he had a direct line of fire. The sides snapped open, and the barrels glowed with a tiny kick back. A tattoo turned red on the alien's back.
The alien's head swelled and exploded...and regenerated. Jayden's shot was dead on. A skull tattoo disappeared. Two were left as it laughed. "IS that ALL you got PUSSY?"
Jayden stumbled back slowly, shouting, "I THINK I FOUND IT"
The alien was about 5 meters away down the wide street.

Perhaps in her young age life had just taken its toll on her. Or perhaps Dakou Sayomi was just a hard ass. Or maybe she just came from a long line of Samurai, or even ninja to have developed such a cold view on life as it was. It was a romantic way to think about it. The only daughter in a long forgotten line of Samurai, but it made one feel important. When Sayomi was a child she liked to play Samurai with her friends. But right now, as she held tightly to the sword at her side, she felt nothing like the Samurai from her dreams or stories she had heard growing up.
It was because every person who passed her in the street looked like fodder of some sort. Their faces blurred as wave after wave of human forms past her to and from the busiest Japanese rail station, Shinjuku Station. This place housed some of the wealthiest people to grace Japan. Sayomi used to know of it simply because of Kabukicho, a lot of the Osaka Yakuza would comment how they had the best love hotels and hookers in Japan. The young woman never really cared for this place, but with movies and T.V shows playing it up, she could navigate it like the back of her hand.
Still, this didn't excuse the fact that people were going to die. More or less.
There was no life in the young woman's chocolate brown eyes as she watched the human stain blur past her. Her focus was on finding the aliens that were supposed to attack, and hopefully she could save a few of these lives here in Shinjuku. 'Don't these people ever sleep?' Sayomi thought to herself as she scanned over the tops of many Japanese heads for any sign of things unnatural.
The young woman was tempted to get on her bike and ride to the middle of the street and just remain there. It was foolish, and she wouldn't exactly be helpful in the long run just sitting there, but it was a plan. Though another plan hatched inside the mind of the former Yakuza runner.
Sayomi slid a hand to her controller and made herself invisible. Who ever said 'what you can't see won't hurt you' was such a liar. Feeling a small bit of satisfaction at the fact she could not be seen, Sayomi turned to go in one direction she felt was a good one. But it was the sound of the Americans voice that caught her attention. He was saying something in English and it was taking a long moment for her to process what he was saying. Regardless Sayomi started running towards the American in hopes he found the alien.
The young woman's hopes were justified as she neared the large street. There stood Jayden firing openly at an Alien. An ugly one no less. But Sayomi was starting to used to the ogre like monsters that hatched every time she was sent on one of these goose chases. Like monsters from her darkest nightmares, but now Sayomi could give them hell, literally.
Sayomi's eyebrows slowly rose on her skull as she watched Jayden face the creature. Despite the young man shaking, he was being brave and Sayomi thought highly of that. Holstering her sword, Sayomi raised her rifle with both hands now and aimed at the monster. Her invisibility wavered and vanished as she took a shot.
"Well aren't you ugly." She muttered in perfect Japanese.

Aqil stood in the same spot hes been standing in since the transfer started. He was mesmerized by the busy activity, large TV screens, all the vomit inducing colors that were associated with Shinjuku. Many of its citizens bumped into Aqil then turned around to see that no one was there. They went along their "busy" and "important" lives without a second thought.
"Damn pricks... Pricks.." Aqil said aloud.
When Jayden yelled, in English, that he found the alien Aqil took out his controller and peered down at the screen. He could see two friendly blips with one alien blip on it. He took off in the direction, his Gantz suit boosting his speed dramatically. Once he arrived, two things caught his attention. Jayden although shaking in his Gantz boots, still managed to fire at the alien. It blew apart and reformed, just the way Aqil remembered. The second thing he noticed was sparks and electricity fluttering exactly beside him. It was Sayomi and she looked pissed as she popped off a couple shots at the Insult Alien.
If Aqil remembered correctly, the skull tattoos on the aliens back was the source of its power. He lifted his H-Gun and peered into the scope. He could see the exact skeletal structure of the Insult Alien and by pressing the trigger 3 times, he hoped to flatten the skinny, ugly ass alien into the pavement.
Inventory: Suit w/Controller, X-Gun(in holster), G-Sword(in holster), H-Gun(in hand)
