The Price of Freedom
Prologue
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The sound of gunshots ran outside a bank, and many customers and staff tried to run and take cover. A few staff members were killed, and in the line of customers, there was a girl in a school uniform; her name was Tomoko Harada.
Possessing a killer body, with medium brown hair gathered up in a small bun, steel grey eyes and soft pink lips, Tomoko was a honors student, as well as the head of the art club, although she wasn't athletic. However, she had a strong fear of ghosts and was rather demure. Nevertheless, she was able to redeem herself with her calm facade as well as her sense of justice.
Tomoko also believed that this 'Gantz' was just an urban legend, claiming it was a haunted house with a haunted room inside.

One day, when having lunch with her friend Natsuki Katagawa, they began talking about urban legends, and the rumor of seeing people in black suits lurking around the city, as well as the house that Tomoko believed was haunted. Natsuki was Tomoko's classmate, as well as the captain of the track and field team.
Unfortunately, she was coming home from school when she was taken captive by a man in a black jacket. From there, he raped, mutilated and killed her, causing a blow to Tomoko greatly, as they were also childhood friends.
"I have absolutely no clue who those people are. They may be dead, but they look like they're in purgatory or something." Natsuki joked.
"Me neither." Tomoko said with a sigh. "Just...what is Gantz, anyway?" she asked, causing Natsuki to shrug.
A week later, Tomoko nearly saw a girl with short black hair in a black suit who looked awfully familiar, but shrugged it off, although she was also afraid since she believed it was a ghost. But today was the day she was also going to get a taste of what is to be like as a part of 'Gantz'.

As Tomoko stood there, she ran over to one of the criminals and attempted to attack him, such as punching him in the chest and elbowing him. However, he resisted her protests to leave the bank or get arrested.
In fact, he had something else in mind; pressing Tomoko against the wall, he lowered her school skirt and attempted to pull down her panties when the other criminal told him, "Just kill her already! She's been resisting all along!"
The criminal had no other choice; he took out a knife and stabbed her in the gut, causing Tomoko to cough up blood as she hit the floor, struggling to see anything before her. But she soon saw an image of Natsuki, smiling her usual bright smile before she told her, "I'll meet you later. Don't worry, we'll see each other again soon."
Tomoko closed her eyes and laid onto the floors of the bank...dead. However, it seemed as though she wasn't really dead, as her fate had already been sealed by the being called...
Gantz.

"Miss Picasso...I've been expecting you since Cutting Board's arrival." A naked, bald man in a gas mask, known as Gantz, spoke aloud within the black sphere, awaiting the arrival of Tomoko.
Within seconds, Tomoko immediately surfaced into the room, and surprisingly, she looked more of a grown up instead of a schoolgirl.
Gantz eventually began speaking. "It seems you've arrived to see your friend again, Picasso." he told her.
"Me? But...but why am I here?" she asked, a look of surprise on her face.
"Well...a mission is intact as of now. Of course, there's only one hunter that is stopping the enemy...I suppose you would be willing to participate along with Cutting Board?" Gantz said.
Cutting Board was the nickname that Gantz used to call Natsuki by, due to her having an almost flat chest. She didn't like having small breasts, but seemed to embrace her figure, although she always wanted larger breasts like Tomoko.
Miss Picasso, on the other hand, was practically because Tomoko was head of the art club.
"I almost forgot...one of the hunters attended the same school as you, Picasso. Unfortunately, he has yet to be revived." Gantz said.
The man he was talking about was Joichiro Nishi, whom was in the same class as Tomoko before he committed suicide a year ago. She was alarmed to hear the news of her classmate being dead, and had tried to cope with it.
"Nishi...?" Tomoko said before trailing off, then exclaiming, "I thought this was nothing more of an urban legend! I always thought the people in black suits were ghosts! Why am I here?!"
"Look around." Gantz told Tomoko, and to her surprise, the very same dead staff members of the bank were also in the room.
"This...this isn't real! I want out!" Tomoko cried, overcome with horror.
"Tomoko...don't be scared. You can do it! Right, Mr. Gantz?" Natsuki said with a reassuring smile. This prompted Gantz to respond with, "You and your friend must take out the enemy at all costs."
Tomoko's look of fear eventually vanished, and then asked, "How do I get out of here? If I kill the aliens, then that means I'm free? That's the one thing I want: freedom."
"It's up to you. For now, I suppose you get to know your new friends, especially Mr. Nishi...if he's revived, that is." Gantz replied.
Tomoko was then presented her own Gantz suit and her equipment, and was told to suit up. Before she went to suit up, however, she took one more glance at Natsuki, who gave her a positive smile.
Keeping a stoic appearance, Tomoko simply nodded and went to get ready. Was she really ready to kill the aliens, so that she would be free from the living hell she seemed to be in? And more importantly, would she and Nishi really get along?
Only time will clearly tell...

My first Gantz fic; no surprise, since I'm new to the Gantz universe (be gentle!). Also, this is the first Gantz fic here (wow, I feel honored!).
In case you're wondering, the main character, Tomoko Harada, is an original character. In addition, Tomoko's appearance, mainly her facial features, are based off of Jennifer Lawrence, in a nod to most of the characters resembling live-action / fictional actors and characters, like Sei Sakuraoka resembling Lara Croft.
Anyways, this is the prologue, which explains her death and how she ended up joining Gantz. This story also takes place after the introduction of Tae.
In addition, this fic also follows closely to the main storyline from the manga. Unfortunately, since the anime adaptation never covered the latter chapters up to Katastrophe, this story may not last long in the anime category, and once again, I may have to move this story to the manga section.
In addition, this is also my entry into the list of 'Nishi x OFC' stories that were scattered around the web, and it also has something to do with the events that happened a year before he joined Gantz, too.
And yes, there will be ass-kicking, as well as sexual situations, and a couple of lemons. BTW, Tomoko and Natsuki Katagawa (another OC) belong to me.
Rest assured, the story will continue! While you're waiting, be sure to check out my other stories, too.
And I would like nothing more than to improve my story as well as the main storyline itself, even revise this chapter and future chapters, too. Thank you, and goodbye for now.
With love for my fans,
Chrissy
