The Price of Freedom
Chapter 2: The Kappe & Dinosaur Aliens Mission
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Total Points So Far
Tomoko: 20
Natsuki: 10

The reason Natsuki wanted to participate in the missions was that she wanted to do it for fun, as she believed it was like a real life video game. She recalled playing one of those alien shoot-em-up games she played in the arcade with Tomoko and a few other friends every time they went to the shopping mall.
When she first appeared before Gantz, she wasn't scared, but rather enthusiastic about fighting aliens. She also didn't seem to mind him calling her Cutting Board, but seemed perplexed why her small breasts were the source of this nickname.
Other than that, however, Natsuki had cute, short pixie-like black hair, as well as big brown eyes. She was also rather slender, and shorter than her friend, but she always tried to rival her friend by wearing high heels, although she usually did so for fun.
So far, she heard of the Kappe alien's presence in the city, and when it, along with the Dinosaur aliens arrived, she had just come home from school when Natsuki felt a strange chill in the air.
Making sure her parents wouldn't notice, she wrote a note to them before leaving the house.
Dear Mom & Dad,
I'll be gone for a while, but don't worry, I'll be back! I'll even pick up some donuts on the way home.
Love, Natsuki

Meanwhile, Tomoko had arrived at the building, and to her surprise, she was met with the presence of other hunters. One of them, which was Kurono, asked her, "Who are you? And why didn't you help me with the last Shorty alien?"
"Didn't you destroy it? Even though most of the students were dead." Tomoko replied.
Kurono was taken by surprise at her words, and nodded his approval as he said, "I...remember that. I'm glad that Tae is still alive."
"Who's Tae?" Tomoko asked.
"My girlfriend...unfortunately, my feelings for her are conflicted by the feelings I have for Reika." Kurono told her.
Kurono then pointed towards a beautiful woman with long black hair, full breasts and a stunning physique. Clearly Tomoko had almost the same proportions as her.
"Oh, and allow me to introduce myself. I'm Tomoko Harada; I'm also a student at the school a few classmates of mine went to, Natsuki and Nishi." Tomoko said.
"Nishi...?!" Kurono said, almost to the point of bewilderment. "You...you're friends with him?!"
"Well...we're classmates, but the truth is, I'm quite fond of him. However, he doesn't seem aware of my feelings towards him. Usually he just speaks for a brief period and leaves." Tomoko explained.
"Wow...that reminded me of Kei Kishimoto...a girl I liked, but she ended up with Masaru." Kurono said.
"I feel rather sorry about her neglecting your feelings, Kurono." Tomoko replied with a frown.
Natsuki then arrived into the room, having already changed into her Gantz suit. "Sorry, I'm late! Hey, who are you?" she said before noticing Kurono.
"Kei Kurono...you must be Harada's classmate?" Kurono asked.
"Of course!" Natsuki said with a cheery smile. "Tomoko's my best friend since we were little." she added.
"Ah..." Kurono said, nodding his approval.
Tomoko and Natsuki then noticed a man with long hair, before Natsuki said, "He's cute!"
This caused Shion Izumi's attention, and asked the two girls, "Excuse me?"
"Oh, nothing...I'm just goofing off!" Natsuki replied with a small giggle.
Izumi sighed. Clearly he didn't know these two girls, but Nishi once told him that he was familiar with the buxom brunette Tomoko, but had no interest in being a close friend of hers.
"We're new here, so...anyways..." Natsuki said, although Izumi just nodded. Clearly he had no interest in speaking to the two girls.
Soon, Gantz gave the participating hunters information regarding the Dinosaur aliens, and that their presence is needed to destroy them. As Tomoko finished changing into her Gantz suit, she told Natsuki, "You better be careful out there."
"Sure, I will!" Natsuki said with a wink.

Unlike the Dinosaur aliens, the Kappe alien was rather easy to take down, as it was beaten up by Daizaimon Kaze, and it was eventually killed by Izumi. For some odd reason, Tomoko and Natsuki were en route to pursuing the Dinosaur aliens, when the shorter girl couldn't help but fawn over the boy's win over the Kappe alien.
However, he was continuously unaware of her feelings, and never seemed to care about Natsuki's growing interest. He was more focused on the mission than the feelings of a pretty girl.
The Dinosaur aliens then made their way into the city. While killing the raptors was fair game, Tomoko and Natsuki immediately split to take on one of the three Triceratops, and the T-Rex, repectively.
Natsuki nearly burnt her left arm by an incoming fireball, and did her best to shoot down the T-Rex. However, just as the T-Rex was about to engulf Natsuki in flames, a man in a Gantz suit came in to assist her by deflecting the fireball with his sword, causing it to burn within the fire.
She noticed and exclaimed, "Thanks! You really saved my hide! I hope I can repay you someday!"
Izumi, however, really didn't seem to care. But he nodded and went off to locate the rest of the aliens, with or without help.
On the other side, Tomoko had a hard time trying to kill off the Triceratops alien, when she noticed the woman in the Gantz suit appear before her.
"You look like you need some assistance." Reika Shimohira said with her sword drawn.
"Sure...no problem!" Tomoko replied.
Eventually the two girls took turns attacking the Triceratops alien. The alien then pushed Tomoko away from her, so that she nearly crashed into the ground. However, she got up and ran over to Reika to continue their attack.
Noticing that the growing muscles were an easy target, Tomoko immediately ran over to it and stabbed the Triceratops alien in its muscles, and it emitted a loud scream before hitting the ground, dead.
Tomoko and Natsuki eventually reunited to locate the Brontosaurus alien, which Izumi and Kurono, the latter not wearing his suit, had trouble killing. In a surprising turn of events, the suit-less hunter found out that its brain was located in its chest, and, giving him a total of 58 points, he shot at the target with his X Gun.
The two girls watched as the Brontosaurus slowly met its demise. The battle had been won, but there was something in the air, and soon, the vampire bosses, controlled by Hikawa, made their way into the battlefield, killing most of the surviving Gantz members.
Sixteen unnamed hunters were killed, leaving only eleven remaining: ten humans, which included Tomoko and Natsuki, and a panda.

Once the mission had ended, despite the interference of the vampire bosses, Tomoko and Natsuki, luckily still alive, were en route to the bakery where Natsuki made good on her promise to her parents: picking up a box of donuts. Once arriving home safely, the two girls then shacked up in the shorter girl's room.
"Did Gantz tell us about these vampires, Natsuki?" Tomoko asked.
"Well...no, not really. But I hope he found out about it..." Natsuki replied, before she took a bite out of a chocolate jelly donut.
"Which reminds me...that girl Reika was gracious enough to come to my aid. What about you? Did you get someone's help also?" Tomoko asked.
"Let's just say that Izumi saved me from becoming extra crispy by those fireballs." Natsuki said. However, she still had no idea he wouldn't reciprocate her feelings.
"I need to research on those vampires..." Tomoko said to herself as the two girls eventually finished eating and said goodbye.
As Tomoko went home, she knew full well, that she and Natsuki were ready to play the game, for freedom, and for fun, respectively.

"18 points for Tomoko. 6 points for Natsuki."

While Tomoko began reading up articles concerning the vampires on the internet, she also stumbled upon a peculiar site with all sorts of links, and noticed one that seemed to concern Gantz. Curious, she clicked the link, and was taken completely by surprise.
Nishi actually ran this website, yet he also made sure that Gantz did not know about all this hidden information regarding him, the hunters, missions, and even the aliens. Yet Tomoko didn't seem to realize that there was a hidden message in between two paragraphs.
It read: "All will come to an end."
What did it mean? Did it mean all the aliens will be dead? Or would the world come to an end? Tomoko shuddered at the latter question before she resumed her work on getting more information on the vampires.

Nothing new, but be sure to review! And feel free to ask me to revise any of these chapters if I'm missing something or need something to spice them up. I'm really new to the Gantz world, y'know...
With love for my fans,
