A/N: Surprised? I couldn't stop writing until I finished this. I wanted to be done with it so bad! So here it is, the last chapter of Total Drama Gantz! The alternate ending (because I couldn't decide between the two) is being uploaded at the same time so you should be able to read that immediately after this. I want to thank everyone who stuck with me through this story, and everyone who reviewed or even just read my story. It was my longest fanfiction though not my best received. Thanks again!

Total Drama Gantz chapter 10

It rained that day. Heavy rain beat down over the little town perhaps to wash away the blood. Even with the rain it didn't wash away the corpses they killed or the bodies of their friends which even now lay decomposing just where they were left. Duncan had found Tyler's remains when he tried to find something to eat in the grocery store.

But Gwen never went out in the rain. Instead she silently walked through the remains of what was once the hotel they all slept in. Considering the state of some of the buildings the hotel wasn't so bad; most of the rooms were destroyed but the roof hadn't caved in.

Gwen found a room to stay in; the only one untouched by the aliens or in pieces. It was Bridgette's room when she was alive, but luckily her corpse had been moved. The Goth shuddered at the thought as she walked in. Taking her shoes off she lay down on the top of the bed and her eyes started to glaze over when she heard a sound.

Someone had knocked twice on the door. Gwen didn't answer but the door opened anyway to show Cody standing there. He walked in, shut the door, and sat down on the floor at the foot of her bed. He looked up at her but couldn't seem to find the words to say anything. Instead he turned away ashamed and watched the rain come down through the window.

They sat there for hours in silence. Neither found it in them to fall asleep. After a while Cody heard the first sound since he opened the door. It was a sob that escaped Gwen's lips. He looked over to see her crying. Standing up he got onto the bed and held her as she cried quietly. But the moment didn't last too long and after ten minutes Gwen had stopped crying. Feeling uncomfortable she pushed Cody away. It was over. Back to your spot.

He went willingly and once again sat down on her floor. This time however Gwen managed to fall asleep without too much trouble and Cody's mind went blank as the rain outside mesmerized him. Neither had anything to eat; Cody was hungry but Gwen wasn't. But both knew food wasn't to be found anywhere in the wreckage.

They didn't leave the room all day. When the twenty-four hours were up, something different happened. Instead of being transported to the Gantz room they heard a siren start to ring. It started out quiet but soon grew much louder and Gwen and Cody had to clamp their ears shut as they ran outside.

Leaving the remains of the hotel behind them the two saw that ten feet in front of them was the Gantz ball in the middle of the street. Coming up from the left and right were Izzy and Duncan both still alive. As the four came closer the sound extinguished and they all knew what was coming. Gantz's message appeared for what would be their final battle.

Last round

You must defeat all of

The eighteen dead

The words disappeared and an explanation for what Gantz meant by the eighteen dead soon became clear. Eighteen small pictures soon filled the screen; eighteen very familiar pictures. There was a picture of every one of their former teammates who had already died. From Ezekiel and Heather down to Noah and Alejandro; they were all there and counted for.

"No way," Gwen said out loud. She backed away slowly shaking her head. "I can't kill my friends. Not Trent or Leshawna, I don't even want to kill Heather!" She screamed out gripping the sides of her head tightly.

Izzy's face was expressionless. Her fingers shook slightly as if she was holding something and she seemed oddly impatient; it was hard not to notice the glares she kept sending Duncan. Cody wasn't much more composed than the others. If anything he looked like he was stuck between comforting Gwen and vomiting; probably why he wasn't saying anything at all.

"Well I'm getting out of here," Duncan announced. "If all I have to do is take out a few zombies then so be it." Nodding to himself he watched as the pictures faded away and Gantz wrote something else.

You have thirty minutes

Kill all your friends

Before they kill you

The words disappeared and were quickly replaced by a timer counting down from thirty; the game had begun. The sides of Gantz quickly opened allowing them access to the different guns but the side where they'd get their suits was empty.

"It won't open," Gwen told Cody as she tried unsuccessfully to pry the side open.

Duncan laughed as he cocked one of the bigger guns. "Looks like it's all tied up now," He mocked her.

The punk's laughter was cut off by the sound of gunfire coming from the roof. The four ducked for cover as they watched Ezekiel jumped off a nearby roof and run over closer to them. It was, and wasn't the home-schooled teen they used to know. Appearance wise it looked just like him except for the eyes and skin; this Zeke had his eyes rolled back into his head and his skin was a grayish color like something someone would paint their walls with.

He was shooting at them with one of the small Gantz guns. Though he was making a lot of noise he didn't seem to be aiming at all. Duncan didn't have any trouble shooting the zombie Zeke twice in the chest putting him down permanently.

They almost relaxed until Zombie Geoff and Bridgette appeared with their guns and started shooting. Duncan quickly sprinted the other way while the two headed for Cody and Gwen. Izzy disappeared silently after him.

The four quickly found out that their eighteen opponents (as Gwen preferred to think of them) were spread out somewhere in the mile city. While none were hiding they weren't announcing their position either; in fact none of them made any sound at all. They all shared the same characteristics that Zeke had along with the fact that they were completely soulless bodies under Gantz control.

It was still raining hard as Duncan ran down the cracked streets. He kept glancing around and back trying to find someone to kill. He wanted to end this once and for all, especially now that his one hope of survival was useless. Pulling out the invisibility device he crushed it in his hands before throwing it to the ground and stepping on it. For whatever reason it had stopped working. It probably had something to do with Gantz not allowing them to use the suits for the final round but all Duncan cared about was his ace in the hole was gone.

He was so angry he started to shoot a nearby fence in a frenzy. The fence was destroyed but Duncan was surprised to find someone was behind it. It was none other than the large girl Leshawna and she had a Gantz gun. Duncan quickly did a duck and cover to avoid getting shot at. Still on the ground he shot right at her making a bloody wound on the left side of her torso.

Leshawna didn't go down (or show signs of being hurt at all) but continued to fire at Duncan. The punk was about to fire back when he saw Noah shoot at him from a high up window. Duncan started to retreat as he ran down a different street away from both of them; they followed quickly behind him.

Now Duncan knew how this worked. With him so unprotected he had to surprise his opponents and kill them before they knew what was happening. Otherwise he'd get killed for sure if he just tried to fight face to face. Gantz guns are very deadly on an unprotected human body.

He turned the corner quickly and hide behind gun raised. As soon as Leshawna appeared he blew her head off. Smirking he waited for Noah to show up when he felt something touching him on the shoulder. Turning around he found himself face to face with Courtney who gave him a flying kick to the face.

"Shit that hurt!" Duncan cried out holding his bleeding face. Duncan had never liked the fact that Courtney wore heels! He used his free hand to shoot at her but she dodged and pulled out her own gun.

Keeping to his tactics Duncan jumped back to order to avoid a shoot-out. Courtney shot at him anyway and as the punk moved backwards he ran straight into Noah. Grabbing the former brainiac quickly he pulled him in front as a human shield. The CIT's shot hit Noah instead and just as Duncan was about to fire back his head started to spin.

Zombie Harold had come out of nowhere to slam his gun right on the side of Duncan's head. His vertigo lost the punk fell to the ground. His vision went double right before he threw up on the ground. Harold had his gun aimed right at Duncan's head while Courtney ran over when Duncan managed to roll over to his right.

Harold's shot barely missed and Duncan rolled over to Courtney and grabbed her legs causing her to lose her balance. As she slipped Harold kept trying to shoot Duncan. He missed however and hit Courtney in the head as she fell backwards.

Managing to stand up Duncan pushed Courtney's corpse on top of Harold. Trapped under the CIT's body Harold couldn't move but still had his gun and shot straight at Duncan. Unable to move aside in time he could only raise his hand to block the shot. Duncan's hand exploded horrifically.

The punk screamed out in pain; holding his left hand in agony. Moving over so as not to get hit he grabbed his gun with his right hand and shot the trapped Harold; destroying him. Dropping his gun to the ground he breathed a sigh of relief. He had managed to destroy four of targets without too much trouble.

He was just about to focus on his bleeding stump of an arm when he felt the cold metal of a Gantz gun being placed against the back of his head. "Hello Duncan."

"Izzy?" He asked. "What the fuck?"

"I know you killed Noah," She said gravely. "Time to die motherfucker!"

She pulled the trigger.

Duncan's brains exploded over the pavement. The remains of his body fell carelessly to the ground unnoticed. Izzy eyes closed as she sighed. "That was for Noah…"

"Now I only have one more to kill."

Contrary to what she had originally said, Gwen did kill Heather. It had been instinct that acted when Heather leaped out of a building and tried to kill Gwen. Her mind had gone blank and when she looked again the former queen bee was dead at her feet.

Not that she had been the first. When Geoff and Bridgette had attacked, Cody and Gwen found little alternative than to defend themselves. The party-guy himself had nearly strangled the Goth to death when Cody blew his back out. Bridgette was next and they found it no easier to be the cause of her death than with Geoff.

Wandering the streets Cody had tried to convince Gwen that they had little alternative, and that just because they looked like their friends didn't mean they were. "They're probably clones," He told her. "Or copies of some kind he made to fight against us."

"But what if they're really zombies?" Gwen asked. "What if Gantz can bring people back from the dead?"

"Life only flows in one direction," Cody said. "Not even Gantz can bring our friends back." He only hoped he was right and not just saying things to make Gwen feel better.

It was then that Heather had attacked. Even if she never liked the girl Gwen found no pleasure in killing her. Cody quickly shooed her away from the scene and they found Eva standing on the other end of the street they were on.

"Together okay?" He raised his gun. Gwen did the same and they started shooting. It wasn't a fight as much as a slaughter. Cody's shot knocked the gun out of the muscular girl's hand and Gwen's hit her in the leg. She immediately limp-ran over to them a quick as she could. She didn't even try to avoid the shots that continued to cut away at her body until she eventually fell to the ground defeated.

Izzy stealthily looked glanced around the corner. She could see the Gantz ball; it was still there waiting for them to finish. "You're evil Gantz," She whispered. "And I won't let you get away with killing the only people who ever liked Izzy."

Turning the corner she sprinted down the street. Gantz had various guards as she had expected and the first were Katie and Sadie. The redhead pulled out her guns and the stupid twins fell like dominos as her explosions ripped into them. They had been unprepared but the others were aware and ready.

DJ ran at her shooting but couldn't hit the elusive mongoose that was Izzy whose aim was excellent enough to rip a hole through the black teen big enough for her to leap through to the other side. She was met with gunfire as Trent and Tyler immediately started shooting at her sides.

Izzy didn't have time to even raise her gun before their explosions each blew off one of her arms. Shrieking in pain she grabbed the arm holding the gun with her teeth and shot Tyler in the face with it. Then whipping her head around, the arm and gun slapped Trent hard across the cheek.

Spitting it out she bit hard into his throat and a deluge of blood spilled out before he fell to the ground dying. But before Izzy could even blink Alejandro showed up punching the crazy redhead hard in the stomach.

Izzy fell to her knees in pain as a large shadow approached her. Looking up she stared at Owen aiming a Gantz gun straight at her head. "Big O?" She asked hopelessly. Zombie Owen made no sound as he pulled the trigger; effectively ending Izzy's life.

"I had to close my eyes as I killed Lindsay," Cody admitted to Gwen. "I kept seeing her and Tyler back at Playa Des losers every time I looked at her."

"I know the feeling," The Goth said as she wiped her mouth off. She had just finished killing Beth and the poor farm girl's small body contorted so horrifically had caused her to vomit.

"We're almost out of time," He told her.

"You have a watch?" She asked.

He shook his head, but didn't answer.

"Then there's no pointing searching aimlessly for any stragglers. We should head back to the hotel and hope to find someone on the way." Cody agreed and they headed back.

After jogging a few blocks (but finding no one) they reached a familiar tree across from the hotel. Standing behind the tree they caught Owen walking up and down across from the Gantz ball.

"This is our chance," Gwen whispered to Cody.

"Let's finish it," He said before they both jumped out from behind the tree and started to fire. Owen's attention was immediately caught as his stomach was hit. He wasn't stopped however as he started to run over to them.

They had started to shoot him down like Eva but it wasn't working quite as well. "He's too fat!" Cody told Gwen.

"Tell me something I don't know!" She shot back at him. "Shoot his head!"

They both aimed for the cranium and when the big guy was a mere four feet from them he fell to the dirt. Gwen sighed in relief but Cody frowned. "Sorry big guy…"

They walked over to the Gantz ball slowly. Gwen kept glancing around suspiciously. "Is it over? Are we the only ones?"

"Not quite," A familiar voice called. Whirling her head about Gwen saw Alejandro on the other side of the street pointing his gun straight at her.

"Gwen watch out!" Cody cried.

The next few seconds seemed to happen in slow motion.

Alejandro pulled the trigger on his gun as Gwen tried too slowly to bring her own up to shoot back. Cody jumped valiantly in front of her with his own gun raised; the trigger already pulled.

Gwen blinked.

The small explosion hit Cody and pushed him back into Gwen who fell down. Cody's shot hit Alejandro in the neck. With no neck his head rolled off and he was destroyed.

Gwen looked down to see Alejandro had shot Cody in the stomach. The wound wasn't small, and already they were both covered in his blood. His body was on the ground and Gwen held his head up by the neck.

"Cody no!" She shouted at him. "You can't die! You're the only one left! I need you!"

The nerd stared up at his crush to see her face was wet with a waterfall of tears. "I always wanted…to hear you say that…" He coughed.

"Cody don't! I won't let you!"

"S'okay," He whispered. "I'll tell them you said hi…" His head tilted to the side before his eyes shut. Gwen saw between tear filled eyes that Cody was actually smiling. He had smiled as he went into Death's embrace.

Gwen continued to sob uncontrollably and didn't even notice as the sound of a siren emitted from Gantz. As the sound became almost unbearable the girl looked up in time for it to end and a message to be shown on the screen.

Gwen- 100 points

One winner

Sole survivor

This message did not comfort her in the least. She was however surprised as the Gantz ball started to open completely and a hiss of steam exited the ball. Wiping her eyes she stood up to see what was coming out.

As the sides of the machine fell down completely, a being appeared. It seemed neither man nor woman nor even human. It stood at six feet with a body made entirely out of a blue energy. It was faceless yet wore a long robe that covered it completely in a similar way to that of the grim reaper.

"Translocation complete," It spoke. The voice wasn't a voice at all; in fact she had heard the sound before. It sounded just the voice of a computer; no emotion at all just the words pronounced. "Commencing analysis."

"Who…are you Gantz?"

"Stand back mortal, I am not here to fight you."

Gwen looked on confused, but didn't say anything. A minute passed before the being turned in her direction. "Congratulations Gwen," It said in its computer voice.

"Are you Gantz?" She asked again.

"Negative, I am Algalon the observer. Gantz was a computer program, same as I, yet his purpose was different."

"What purpose?" Gwen asked. "Why did any of this happen anyway? Why did I have to go through all of this?" She screamed at him.

"To put it simply, this was a test."

"A test?" Gwen asked dumbly.

"A test to see whether or not your planet would be saved. All twenty-four of you would go through the different trials and if even one of you survived, your planet would be spared. However if none of you lived your planet would be next to be destroyed."

"Destroyed?" She repeated the word yet her voice was empty. Gwen knew she should feel fear but didn't feel anything. "By who?"

"The Legion, the superior race which designed me. My purpose it to test the races of various planets by the game of Gantz to see if they are worthy. When they are not, the Legion will destroy and devour their planet. After observing transmissions of your reality show I decided you would make excellent test subjects for the human race."

"I have seen worlds bathed in the Makers' flames. Their denizens fading without so much as a whimper. Entire planetary systems born and raised in the time that it takes your mortal heart to beat once."

"I don't care!" Gwen interrupted. "I don't care about this shit! Screw planets and aliens and hearts because none of it was worth it! I just want to die…"

Algalon ignored her. "I've rearranged the reply code to Omega. Your planet will be spared."

"What about me?" Gwen asked. "Are you going to kill me, or at least erase my memory?"

"No," Algalon said finally answering her. "As winner your prize is your life. You keep your memories since no one on this planet will ever believe you."

Gwen said nothing, but continued to stare dead into the ground. "Goodbye Gwen…" Algalon said to her. Looking up Gwen watched as everything started to disappear. First the sky, then the buildings and finally she stood alone in a dark void until she too disappeared.

Gwen woke up. Her body suddenly sprang forward and her eyes ripped open. She looked around confused and disoriented. She was in a white room lying in a white bed with tubes attached to her arms.

"Oh my," A voice said in surprise. "You're awake!"

Whipping her head around Gwen saw a woman in her forties wearing a white uniform walk over to the bed. Now she knew where she was because that was a nurse, and this was a hospital. "What happened? Where's Gantz? Algalon? Cody?"

"Calm down dear," The nurse said calmly lying her head on Gwen's forehead. "It's probably just a bad dream. You were in a plane crash. You're the only survivor; why until you showed up yesterday we had thought everyone had died!"

"Plane…crash?" Gwen blinked.

The nurse nodded, "Yes you showed up after being missing for twelve days."

Twelve days? Gwen thought. That was the amount of time the whole Gantz event had taken. She hadn't dreamed it! Algalon had sent her here! The thought sent the horrible deaths of all her friends playing on fast-forward in her mind.

"I think…" She paused. "I feel tired. Can I go back to sleep?" She asked the nurse.

The woman nodded, "Of course dear. I have other patients but I'll be back to check on you later." The nurse left the room without a second thought.

Gwen immediately got out of bed and closed the door. Walking over to the window she gazed out. Judging from her view she had to be on the fourth floor at least. "Perfect," She said.

"Hello," The man on TV smiled. "My name is Tom Reed and this is the six o clock news."

"Our top story has to do with the plane crash that occurred nearly two weeks ago in the middle of a forest in northern Canada. The plane was carrying the cast of the hit reality TV show 'Total Drama Island' when it crashed.

"The only survivor was believed to be Chef Hatchet until yesterday when one of the show's favorites, Gwen, was found thirty miles south of the accident at a hospital. Fans were both relieved and confused that their favorite Goth had managed to survive such a horrible accident."

"But after the events of a few hours ago, it seems this mystery will have to go unsolved. At three p.m. today Gwen woke up and was cared for by one of the hospital's own nurses. But after leaving the girl alone she almost immediately jumped out of her window on the fourth floor. Paramedics did all they could but Gwen didn't make it. Her death has been ruled as a suicide."

"Now on to sports, back to you Olley…"
