"Sir no. 5 is starting to regain conciousness" A voice jolts his brain.

"This one is starting to wake-up too" As he regains conciousness he starts to realize the commotion going around him.

He starts to open his eyes, his vision is still blurry. Finally, he sees an outline of a human looking over him.

"Are you okay?" The outline asks. He felt his eyes being forced open and a bright flash of light pierces his retina. He tries to shield his eyes from the blinding light. "Don't worry you're alright now" the voice assures him.

"Sir, no 13 has regained conciousness too." She takes a clipboard and shuffles through the information. "It seems that his name is Kurono Kei"

Kurono fully awake now shouts and clutches his heart where he was stabbed. Eyes wide open with shock he asks "Where am I!"

He looks around it seems like he is in some sort of hospitals. There was more people other than him lying in what looks like hospital beds. All of them hooked up to apparatus with people in white lab coats reading what the device said.

"Hey, are you finally awake now?" Kurono gets startled as he looks for the source of the voice. He finally found a female in a lab coat looking over the device he is hooked up to.

"I guess you want to ask if you have died or not right?" It hasn't dawned on Kei to ask that yet, but now that this girl brought it up he has to. Kei nods at her to give her the go ahead to answer.

"Well it's kinda complicated, we destroyed your physical body, but your spirit still lives" She answers while writing things down in the clipboard she is clutching.

"Wow you have a ton of spiritual energy, I think you can be a ranking officer" She walks over to Kei. "Give me your hand please" She grabs Kei's left hand and pricks his thumb.

"Ahh what the hell are you doing!" Kei exclaims.

"Ah sorry about that I should've given you a warning ehe" She presses Kei's thumb onto the piece of paper. Kei noticed that it had everything written there about him. "I just needed your finger prints for this application"

"What application? what are you guys doing to me"

"Let me ex-" Kei's attendant is interrupted by Nasir, head of the Spiritual realm research department.

"Welcome to Spirit World soldier" Nasir walks takes the clipboard from the girl and looks it over"

"Sir he has a lot of potential, I think he can be an officer if we put him through training with Master Genkai"

"It's true, take him off of the Gantz program and put him through to spiritual training"

"Yes sir"

"Wait wait wait" Kei interrupts the two strangers. "What do you mean Gantz program? and soldier?"

Nasir looks at him with an annoyed look. "Stand down soldier you will get your answers soon enough"

Kei looks at him with murderous eyes.

"Hmmph" That was the only response he can get from Nasir. "Rina, take him to the briefing room"

"Yes sir" Kei's only other companion says. She takes Kei off the bed and escorts him out.

Nasir turns his head to the monitors all around the room. "hehe it has started now, we are going to be getting a ton of recruits from this one"

The monitor shows what looks like a warzone between people in black suits and Spirit Realm soldiers.

Kurono is now being escorted to the said briefing room. "So what am I really doing here?" He asks as Rina.

"Well, you were part of the Gantz program it's a program designed by us to weaponize you guys" They turn left in what seems like a maze of hallways.

"You might not know this already, but you guys are caught in a war that has been waged for years now between us, the spirit realm, and the demon realm" She continues to explain, while Kei just looks ahead.

"About every year we start collecting souls from the Gantz program to fight for us"

Kei is still trying to absorb all the information but he did not like that he is being forced to fight.

"Tcch so you guys are just forcing us to fight against our wills?"

"Well technically, yes" Rina pauses as if she is very careful of what to say next. "But you see, don't you feel like you have to protect the human realm?"

"Why? what has the demons done to us?" Kei snaps sharply at her.

"Hmmm" Rina thinks of the most recent demon attack. "Ah!" She exclaims "Do you remember the attack on tokyo about 5 months ago by terrorists?" She continues "Well that was done by eccentric demons trying to revive their kingdom"

Kei looks at her in disbelief.

"Hmmm" She continues to think "About a year ago there was an explosion in the subway at Osaka"

Kei remembers that, it was a huge deal about 200-300 people were seriously hurt and another 100 died.

"Well that was them again" It was all finally sinking in, he can't believe it all this time they have been under attack from demons.

"Hey" Kei calls out to Rina who was in deep thought trying to remember the terrorist demons names. "How long have I been out for?"

"Huh? oh you've been out for about 3 days"

"What! that means the Catastrophe that Gantz has predicted has been going on for at least a day"

"Catastrophe?" They finally reach their destination. The room had a large table in the middle with about 10 seats in there. On the north wall are a bunch of monitors that had what looked like a war movie going on.

Rina seats Kei down on one of the seats. "Ah you probably mean the recruitment that we do"

"Recruitment?"

"Yeah" Rina exclaims as she sits down next to Kei. "Every year or so we recruit around 1000-5000 people from the Gantz program"

"We input a countdown on the spheres for April 4th every year" She looks at Kei. "Every April 4th, today, we destroy the physical bodies of the Gantz candidates.

Kei shocked by the statement says "Do you mean you guys attack the humans to get their spirits?"

"Correct, although we only get the ones from the Gantz program, We avoid hurting innocents"

Kei looks at the monitor inside the room.

"In fact that is the recruitment right now" Rina points to the monitor. "You can see how it's going from there.

"Thats what is happening in the Human realm right now?" Kei asks her

"Yes"

"Oh yes, I finally remembered the terrorist demon's group." Rina exclaims with excitement. "They are called the Black Sun rebellion"

Kuwabara relays to his officers in the human realm in the middle of the recruitment phase. "Orders have been passed down, surrogate system has been completed"

Kuwabara pauses as if the next bit was painful to say.

"Arrest Urameshi Yusuke and bring him in for execution."
