"Gantz..."
Putting the gun away, Nutcase looked at Gantz and said, "Ok, so you made a istake. Big deal. But we still can't have you galavanting on your own. The last time Sonic did that, the matter of the Werehog happened."

Beatrice sighed. "Of course. It's always the matter of Goddamn love. Gotta find your lost love. Gotta save your lost love. Gotta get a lost love. It's always love."
She gave Gantz a scathing look. "If it was this important, then why the hell didn't you tell us? We could have helped! And don't you dare say 'this is something I have to do myself' because it never is! And whenever someone says that, they always get fucking killed!"
She took another step forward. "Do you want to die for someone you don't even know is alive? Spend the rest of your life searching for someone who's probably dead?"
And then she pulled off her right glove, walked up to Gantz, and then punched him in the face.
"I'm going to tell you once and only once. Shut your emo bullshit or get the fuck out of here."

Needless to say, Beatrice's blow did not go unresponded to.
"Miss Beatrice!!" Climber shouted, before making sure Gantz was all right.
Talim gave the girl a glare. "Regardless of what he has, or hasn't told us, that was uncalled for. He's clearly in a lot of emotional pain."
"Yeah!! So give em' a BREAK!!" Star Man yelled from his PET... "Uh... can someone pick me up please?"
Gantz rubbed his most likely broken nose, looking more then a little pained. With a small movement, his hands glowed white. "C-Cura..." After a few moments of wincing, his nose was soon back in proper alignment. "No... She's right, besides, if anything... I deserved that... There's so much I haven't told you... I-"
'Why are you still talking to them?'
No-one but Gantz heard this, Soul Calibur had spoke this inside his head. 'You of all people know the challenges that lie ahead. Think of it for a moment, do you really think they'll be needed? I mean... You've lost them once. Why run the risk of losing them again?'
Gantz's eyes widened, "But-" Everyone stared at the boy confused.
Soul continued, not caring in the least, 'Don't you think this is best? You know their alive, and if you left now, you will have that knowledge to help you along. It's all for the best.' She sighed. 'I know it is painful, but once you have me in my fullest form back into the form of a blade, that demon Him won't stand a ghost of a chance against you. Just bringing them along will give him the oppurtunity he needs to turn the tables on you.'
"Gantz..." Talim looked at him concerned. "It's Soul Calibur isn't it?"
'Besides,, only you know how powerful he's become since entering this world. Only you know, what that devil has become... If they accompany us their always exists the chance that they shall die."
"What... Makes you so sure?" Gantz said in a whisper.
"Gantz?" Came Climber, whom had picked up Star Man's PET.
'I mean, think a moment... Do you really want them gone? Do you want them to die? I know you don't want Rosaline to die.'
'Why?' Gantz thought back, 'Why do you want them gone?'
'I don't. Their help would've been great... If the danger wasn't so great. Their is no need for unnecessary sacrifice here, you know that.' Soul Calibur was many things, and though she didn't think humans too important, she knew what she was talking about in the strategies of battle.

Nutcase picked up Starman and then went on to help Gantz up after his near nockout from Beatrice, and said "What's going on now, Gantz? Is that so-called holy sword's spirit trying to manipulate you again? Look, she's no better than the Soul Edge, man. You may have lost your Keyblade, but there's still mine. If that useless spirit's trying to get you to ditch us with what she considers to be logic, don't listen."
Clown Man then said, "Yeah, if she's trying to get you to get you to think we can't come because of the dangers, think about all we faced and lived through! We faced the might of the Ferice Deity and Vaati in one night, we stopped rampaging dinosaurs, mind-controlling monkeys, stopped numerous petty revenge acts from the Koopa King, and even Khamja for crying out loud!"
"That aside, you know I'm practically invincible, Gantz." Nutcase said matter of fact-ly. "I wasn't trained by Bugs Bunny himself for nothing."

Beatrice, however, was still mad. She wasn't about to forgive Gantz so fast. And somehow, she already knew where this was going to go.
"You're going to listen to the goddamn sword, aren't you," Beatrice said, her eyes narrowing. "You're going to listen to her. Fine then. Go with her. You're not going to listen to your friends anyways."
She pulled her glove back on.
"But swear to me you'll come back alive then. If you die while out there, then when I die, I'm going to kick your ass from heaven to hell."
Taffy glanced at the mark on Gantz' arm again. "Codependance... that never ends well... for either end... I don't like where this is going."

It was a quiet and tense moment... ... ... ... ...
"Gantz... Please..." Climber was begging now, not on his knees but pretty close.
"We can help you." Talim was holding out a hand in friendship, "All you have to do is let us."
The slight clinks of Metal Sonic's brain were heard before he lowered it. He, like Beatrice, also seemed to know what was coming.
Star Man's voice came last, sounding completely downhearted. "We're your friends... Please... Don't leave us like this..."
.....................................
Gantz sniffed.
He knew... He always knew... His friends were always there for him... But if they joined him THIS time...
They WOULD die. There was no question about it...
He just couldn't lose them again... He just couldn't.
"Guys..." The two turned to him. "Please... Accept my sincerest apologies... But you have no idea what your up against... I do...
"Nutcase?" Nutcase was possibly looking more downhearted as the seconds rolled by. "Can you do me a favor and fix up Metal Sonic for me? I was going to upgrade him but, I hadn't wanted to leave so soon..."
"Gantz!!!" Climber shouted.
"Also," He continued without stopping. "Can you look after Climber and Star Man for me? I'm sorry... I'm so so sorry it had to come to this."
"Gantz, wait!!! You can't leave me here!!!!" Star Man was near tears. "We're partners!!! You're the one that gave me a second chance when no-one else did! Don't leave!!"
"And lastly... If you find those parodies of Wally and Otto in town, think you can look after them for me?" His face was hid from view, but his hand came up to his face and he wiped off a tear. "They may not be our old friends. But their close." He sniffled. "And again, please accept my apologies..."
There was a small gathering of energy.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... And goodbye."
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!"
Their breath was wasted as the light gathered even more, and in a flash...
Gantz was gone. Teleported to who knows where, and their wasn't a thing the group could've done... ... ... ... ... ... ...
[Out of character for Gantz slightly, but with what I have planned, Gantz will have good reason to fear for his friends lives should they accompany him.]

Nutcase was totally silent, eyes wide. The others looked on with worried glances. Climber in particular was most concerned. Only he along with Starman and Clown Man knew that to Nutcase, Gantz was like a little brother.
Nutcase then dropped to the ground-and for the first time in many long years-began to cry.

Beatrice lowered her head. This was exactly like what had happened before with Tree. Not when they split up the second time.
It was just like what had happened before Ragnarok.
Taffy looked at Beatrice, knowing what she was thinking.
"They're all idiots, the lot of them..." he said. "Damn it. Damn it to hell."

The Climber got on his knees and proceeded to pat his cloth hand on Nutcases back, trying to comfort him. "I-I'm so sorry Nutcase... I wish... ... I wish I could've done something to stop this..."
"From the very beginning..."
Metal and Climber turned to Star Man, whom continued to watch the place where Gantz disappeared. "I can't believe it... He... He had me fooled from the very beginning..." He shivered sadly before digital tears suddenly appeared. "Ex-excuse me." He disappeared into the bowels of his PET...
And he didn't seem too keen on coming back into view either.
Metal's visors looked blankly at the PET, before he reached down and gently picked it up. "I'm... I'm deeply sorry that this had to happen to everyone..." He just couldn't believe it; he'd barely turned good, and actually performed his second good deed... Then this happened... ...
What was this odd feeling in his chest plate? It felt like his inner circuits suddenly sink into the confines of his stomach. He surmised... that he felt exactly what the others felt... Sadness.
And suddenly, Metal came full forward with this emotion, and wished he could cry with the others, if not for them to know how sorry he truely was. But he knew better then anyone he could not, being a robot helped with that.

Clown Man looked on at the scene, and he too was greatly affected. Though he was a master of smiles and laughter, it id not mean that he had his share of sad moments. He cried softly compared to his net-op, who'd known Gantz the longest out of the whole group and as such suffered the most.
Nutcase himself wanted to get up and run away, but his legs wouldn't obey. Finally he managed to gather the strength needed to run back to the house the whole group was sharing and locked himself away in his room. A hastily prepared "DO NOT DISTURB" sign was nailed on the door.
Inside, Nutcase continued to cry. All he wanted was to round the gang back together and find a way home. Now it seemed that there would be one less member of the team.

Beatrice looked back at where Nutcase had gone, and turned to everyone else. "Let's... just leave him alone for now. I'm pretty sure Nutcase has a lot to think about, so..." She sighed. "I'm gonna go look for Chip."
Taffy sighed. "I'll go too. I'm worried about something."
The two of them then walked off together.
