Thread: Gantz: Phase Zero (nanachan ~ Daddeo)

Who would of imagined the after life would be like this? Truth be told Shigeru was actually surprised that there was something beyond his death. The man was never one to believe in any of that religious crap, and surely if he did then his course would of led him to some sort of demented and torturous realm where he would pay for being so tainted. But a simple apartment? Hell was depicted as fire and lava with demons coming after you, or a never ending cycle of rebirth into the harsh and cruel world. Of course this wasn't some sort of awakening or anything, simply a sudden curiosity for what he had expected to be the end of his life. No more then ten seconds before opening his eyes to this room, he had been closing them as a semi truck came barreling down at his taxi. There was no way for him to get out of the trucks path, and not enough time to unbuckle and get out. It was a joke really, Shigeru imagining his demise to be at the hand of some cop with a few lucky shots. But there was no end, simply this room. Looking out the large windows Shigeru saw the Tokyo Tower, thank goodness that he had some how ended up in Tokyo. However when he went for the door latch his hand simply kept away. As if through magnetism his hand was being repelled by the latch... Hell any door or window that could be opened his body was literally pushed away from whenever he tried to open it. What was going on? Shigeru was much more interested in this then scared by it, there really wasn't anything that scared him on this earth. Though he had never seen the giant black ball that was set in the center of one of the rooms. No holes or cracks, no signs or letters.. Shigeru was lost as to what was going on, even kicking the ball resulted in nothing happening. Piece of shit.. Shigeru mumbled. So the man was alone, no one in the apartment, no way out, and only a stupid ball in the middle of a room... Just great. However suddenly what looked like laser shot out from the ball, Shigeru stepping back and looking to see what the lasers were doing. As if modeling something with layers the ball started to sketch out something. Moments going by before whatever the hell it was making turned into a human. It was quite the scene, skin, muscle, organs, even down to the food that was inside of the stomach.. Shigeru was able to see it all before the next layer and the next layer covered it up. What was left on the ground was a man with long black hair and shades, wearing leather clothing like some sort of biker gang member. The man grumbling softly as he laid there, taking a few moments before sitting up. Where the fuck am I? The man asked, looking around till Shigeru came into view. Not sure, showed up here no more then a few minutes ago. Shigeru answered, keeping his distance from the man that would sit up fully. Did you drag my- However before the man could continue the lasers cut across the room once more, the biker quickly scrambling out of the way. Again another human would come out from these lasers, only this time the man seemed to be falling in mid air. Looking to be in his mid twenties the man had a build that would match any kind of boxer or fighter. A look of shock on his face before he suddenly came into reality and fell to the ground. SHIT!! The man shouted, quickly getting up and moving to the side as if dodging something. His breath was heavy from shock as he started taking in the room, Where the fuck am I? He asked, looking at the two others that were in the room as well. Shigeru simply looking at him with his eyebrow raised, not really answering the question. Some asshole bumped me or pushed me and I know I was going to get hit by a bus but then I showed up here. The newcomer stated, the biker practically pressed against the wall on the other side of the room. You almost died. And I am assuming you did as well? Shigeru asked, standing next to the big black ball. I did too, or I should of at least. But woke up here as well. He added, the two obviously starting to get up to try and leave. Windows didn't work, doors didn't work. The newcomer was smart enough to try his cell phone but it didn't work either. We are trapped in here, don't know why. Shigeru would shout out softly as the two seemed a little more frantic then shocked by the situation. No need to freak out... Fuck you! The biker shouted back, starting to ram himself against a door. However his shoulder never seemed to make contact with the wood, Not believing in this super natural shit!! He shouted again, doing it a few more times before giving up. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!? He would shout, Shigeru rolling his eyes as he went to look back at the ball. This was obviously controlling whatever the hell was going on right now, where did it come from? Ten minutes would go by and nothing else seemed to come out of the ball. The three men coming together in the same room, sitting against their respective walls and looking from one another. The biker had calmed down now, being the first to actually try and talk. What are your guys's names? Mine is Takeo. The biker stated, looking to Shigeru who kept his eyes on the ball. Kiyoshi... The fighter said, looking out the window right now at the tokyo tower that loomed in the distance. And you? Takeo asked, looking to Shigeru who still seemed to pay him no mind. I asked you a fucking question kid. Takeo stated, that getting Shigeru's attention. It was somewhat scary the way Shigeru looked at Takeo, as if for even drawing his attention that Shigeru would rip his throat out. It was an intimidating stare that Takeo had seen plenty of times from thugs and the like.. But never from someone unprovoked... What the hell was this kid's problem? Shigeru. Shigeru stated, looking back to the ball once more. Right, so we all almost died or did die I don't fucking know. But we are here and can't get out.. Any ideas why? Takeo asked, though all three of them would turn and look to the other room as more lasers shot out. There would be more people? And indeed there would be. Before long there was a good eight people in the room. An older couple, a guy in a lab coat, a construction worker, and a teenage girl who looked to be all dolled up for the night. It was actually getting quite annoying for Shigeru to hear people freak out and then try to escape, only to get defensive and accuse people in the room. Luckily it seemed that Takeo was more sociable then what was expected of gangsters and did his best to calm people down, even though he would curse part of the time to do so. Alright look. It is obvious that we are all being brought to this room by this thing. Takeo stated, pointing to the ball. I am pretty sure that each of us was on the verge of dying. I don't know how this is possible but the facts are that we are alive, that we can't leave this room, and none of our electronics seem to work. Any one know anything about this ball or hear anything about a similar situation? Because I know I haven't. Takeo said, everyone had pretty much joined the small forming circle around the ball people stating their own ideas but no one really seemed to have a believable answer. And what was worse was that there was no clock, no way to tell if there was a timer. What were they waiting for? They were obviously placed here for a reason.
