Chapter 75: List of Hundred Pointers
"That's it. You already got the hang of it." said Kurono to Yiren. "You should continue the same routine, but with some heavier object. Other than that, try to use the ability according to your creativity."
After a couple of hours teaching the girl, Kurono finally saw her making some progress in using the psychic ability. He then decided that it was time for him to continue his journey. "Now, I should be get going."
"That fast? I still need to learn more from you, Kurono." said Yiren, a bit dejected. "Can you stay for sometimes?"
"I can't. I need to go back." replied Kurono. He was about to say goodbye, but remembered that the Catastrophe will affect all places in the world, including China. Then, it would be dangerous for Yiren and her family if the aliens attacked this place.
After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to tell the danger to the girl. "Listen, three days from now, our planet will face it's first alien invasion."
"Alien? That's funny. hehehe." Yiren laughed at Kurono. His words sounded hilarious to her. "You're joking, right?"
"being able to wield psychic powers, is it a joke to you?" asked Kurono in a serious tone.
Seeing his serious expression caused Yiren to stop laughing. She turned serious and replied, "...no. But, alien invasion? That's not really dangerous, right? Also, how do you know that they are invading?"
"Never mind if you don't believe me." Kurono lost the desire to talk more about the invasion. Kurono then walked away, while saying, "Just remember to train your hardest in the psychic powers. You only have three days."
"Wait." Yiren hurriedly run, and followed Kurono. "Is that really serious? Are they really that dangerous?"
Kurono stopped walking and turned to look at Yiren. After that he glanced around and found a tall tree. He said, "Those alien will be as tall as that tree."
"What?"
"They also capable of using some kind of laser attack like this."
Klong!
"Kyaa!"
Saying so, Kurono shot the tall tree with a lightning attack. The lighting strike destroyed the tree within seconds. This frightened Yiren, and caused her to scream in shock.
"You and your father treated me with some favor. So, I wanted to at least remind you of this danger." said Kurono. "Remember, you only got three days. Train like it was the last day of your life."
Just when Yiren wanted to ask further, Kurono suddenly appeared close to her, and hold out two fingers on her forehead. He then transferred some knowledge into her mind.
"Those are the knowledge on all the psychic skills that I've developed. Try to learn it as soon as possible, especially the teleportation skill. It will be very useful to you." explained Kurono. After that, he teleported away, while leaving his words, "Goodbye. I hope you will survive the alien invasion."
"Wait..."
However, Kurono already disappeared from his place. Yiren looked around but couldn't see him anyway. This caused her to be filled with shock and worries.
"He spoke about the alien invasion with a grave tone. Is it really true?"
Yiren fall into a deep thinking, and feel the urgency and the heaviness of that reminder. Three days...is it really enough to improve herself?
After much of struggling in her heart, she decided to listen to Kurono's advise and trained like no tomorrow.
...
After teaching Yiren the Psychic ability, Kurono once again continued to travel back to Japan. Along the way, he wasted some times to rest, and tried his best to remind any people that he met, to be prepared of the alien invasion.
This caused those people that he met to think that he has a mental problem. Many of them tried to avoid him. Some of them scolded him for telling lies. Some tried to beat him, and some people even called 911 to report about a Japanese mental patient was on a loose.
Although people didn't appreciate Kurono's warning, he still tried his best to remind everyone that he saw to listen and be prepared. He knew that many will look disdain on him, but at least, he did the efforts.
The next day, he finally reached Tokyo. When Kurono arrived in Tokyo, he directly teleported back into the Gantz Room. As he appeared inside, he realized that there are no longer anyone inside, except for Tensho.
"Dad! You are back!" said Tensho happily. He then asked, "So, how did it go?"
Kurono smiled, and bring out the big black ball. Instantly, the Advanced Black Sphere appeared inside the room.
"Ooh! That is way bigger than I thought." said Tensho.
"Let Gantz come out and control this Advanced Black Sphere."
"Okay."
Tensho then controlled Gantz to come out from the Black Sphere, and enter the Advanced Black Sphere. Then, he exclaimed as soon as Gantz started controlling the black ball. "Wow! This Advanced Black Sphere is way better than the normal Black Sphere. I can get access to many Black Sphere. US, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia...I cot the access and authority over all those black ball."
"So, can you reprogram back the rewards system in the Black Sphere?" asked Kurono.
"Actually it's not reprogram back. It's more like a one push switch. With a command, it can be changed back like before." Nodded Tensho. "Do you want me to do it right now?"
"Yeah, you do that." nodded Kurono. Suddenly, he thought off of a better idea. He said, "Transfer all the data from this Tokyo Black Sphere into the Advanced Black Sphere, and let the rewards system be implemented in the Advanced Black Sphere."
"Alright." Tensho then proceeded to transfer the data from the normal black ball, towards the big black ball. A moment later, the Tokyo Black Sphere was emptied. Now, the Advanced Black Sphere is directly in control over the data for Tokyo Team.
"It's done." said Tensho. "Dad, do you want to make any changes on those Black Sphere all over the world?"
"Those Black Sphere? Hmm...let all of the Black Sphere to gain back the rewards system." said Kurono. "By the way, can you make any changes regarding the rewards?"
"I can." Nodded Tensho. He added, "However, there are some limit on the rewards."
"What do you mean?"
"This is related to the programmed abilities inside the Black Sphere. The black ball biggest ability is to keep data, and recreate those data. This is applied for instance, when Gantz controlled the black ball to copy the data of a person who died, and recreate it as a Gantz Fighter.
However, this is also a form of weakness. The black ball cannot create something that doesn't exist."
"I know that one. Any other limitation?"
"There is another one." said Tensho. "I'm not a programmer. You know, I didn't learn any programming. I can only control Gantz. So Dad, if you want me to make any changes, the changes can only be from the existing one."
"That...is unfortunate." sighed Kurono. "Then, what changes are you able to do?"
"Although I cannot change the quantity or the details on the rewards, I can rearrange the priority of which rewards will come first." said Tensho.
"I see. Then, let's go with that. Let's rearrange the rewards. Wait, show me the list of the rewards."
Tensho complied, and showed the list of rewards.
1. Get your memory of Gantz be erased, and be free
2. Get a powerful weapon
3. Revive someone from the memory
4. Let anyone from the room be free with erased memory of Gantz
5. Can get the ability of one of your killed Alien.
6. Revive two people with 100 pts (Either Gantz Fighters, or outside people)
7. Revive an alien from the memory.
"Is that all of the rewards?"
"Yeah. That's all." nodded Tensho.
"The list are too few. Also, what's up with the seventh rewards? Reviving alien? What for?" Kurono was not satisfied with the list of rewards. "Hey Tensho, you should really learn programming."
"That...okay Dad. But, that will take some times." replied Tensho, sighing in his heart. "So, how do you want to change the order of the rewards?"
"On second thought, let the rewards stay as it is." said Kurono. He thought it through, and it will be troublesome if the other Gantz Fighters can easily power up by getting ability from the hunted alien.
"Now, what should I do regarding the alien invasion? Should I go to space to intercept them?" murmured Kurono.
"You have the worse idea over there." said Lady Fuu. "Do you even know their exact location? Also, the Catastrophe warning was from those God Aliens. They didn't even tell the exact location or the right route on which those invading alien will use to come to this planet. Are you still confident to intercept them?"
"Well, that...is really hard." replied Kurono.
"If you cannot intercept them, then it's better to think on how to fight them when they arrived here in this planet."
"That will be too let by then."
"Do you have any choice?"
"I guess not." said Kurono, and then sighed. Although he knew the story, he was still unable to stop those alien from invading the Earth.
"Rather than worrying about it now, why don't you go and improve yourself? There are still time, though it is not that much." advised Lady Fuu.
Kurono just nodded in agreement. After that, he started heading out, "See you two in three days then."
"Wait Dad. You still have some unused points. Look."
Gantz Fighter: Kuro Neko (Black Cat)
Points: 876
Accumulated Points: 1,078
Kurono was surprised to see his score. However, when he thought of back, he realized that it was so, as he almost annihilated those Statue alien on his own.
"How should I spent these points?" Kurono thought hard for sometime. Suddenly he thought of something, and asked Tensho, "I remembered that Gantz could issue any missions to kill anyone. Can you do the same?"
"Yes I can." answered Tensho.
"Nice." Kurono smiled happily. "Let's go out to somewhere with big enough space."
"What for?"
"In case the fight is too intense."
"Fight?"
Kurono then teleported out the few of them, together with the big black ball. After some space jumping, they appeared on a deserted and uninhabited Island.
"This place should be good enough space for a fight." said Kurono. He then asked Tensho. "Do you have the list of all the 100 Pointers aliens?"
"Let me check." Tensho then checked the database inside the Advanced Black Sphere. After a moment, he then showed the list of aliens that worth 100 pts.
List of 100 pointers aliens.
Already dead:
1. Nurarihyon
2. Yokai Queen
3. Bakeneko
4. Stheno
5. Medusa
"That's all?"
"These are the 100 pointers aliens from the mission of Tokyo Team. There is still more but it is from the other team." replied Tensho.
"Then show me the list of the dead 100 pointers from other regions...wait, if there are list for the dead, are there any list for those who are still alive?" asked Kurono.
"There are. However, there are only few of them left."
"Show me the list."
List of 100 pointers aliens.
Still alive:
1. Shenlong - 200 pts
2. Suzaku - 200 pts
3. Atlantic King - 150 pts
4. Turupurun - 120 pts
5. Hanuman - 350 pts
6. Yaksha - 100 pts
7. Boogeyman - 100 pts
"Only seven of them?"
"If you want more, that will be including those that not in this planet. There are many of them who are still drifting in space, or are on their way towards this Earth. Those giant alien invaders are among these 100 pointers." explained Tensho.
"There are still other alien invaders other than those giant alien?" asked Kurono in surprise. Look like the giant alien will not be the last to cause Catastrophe on Earth. Will those God Aliens invade the Earth too? thought Kurono. "By the way, how much is that God Aliens worth in points?"
"The God Aliens? Well, let see...they are worth a millions of points." replied Tensho.
"What? A million?" exclaimed Kurono. A million points, that's beyond the combined of all points that he and his team have earned.
