Ugh, What Did I Do Last Night?

[doctorzero]

Ugh..
The first thing he noticed when he woke up was that he was lying upon a cold, hard surface. He slowly peeled himself from the floor, rubbing his head in an attempt to relieve the aching bruise.
"Ow...where am I?" he asked himself. "Hang on, who am I?" His mind was a total blank. He couldn't remember a thing; not where he was, not a name, not a--
Hang on, there was something. Two names: Max and Kaitlin. Those weren't much to go by. He wondered, briefly, if one of those was his name, before he dismissed the thought. Something told him that wasn't the case.
He looked down at himself. Red jacket, slightly torn ("How'd that happen?"), blue shirt, jeans, no shoes. He'd have to do something about that. "Okay..." He went through his pockets; nothing, both empty--no, there was a card. It was totally blank, except for the word YANA in capital letters. "Is that my name?" He asked himself. "Well, I guess it's better than nothing."
He quickly took note of his surroundings. It looked like an old church. He would've thought it was abandoned if it weren't for the fact that several pews were strewn about, as if someone had been throwing them. There were several gouges in the stone floor, as if someone had taken a knife to it or something. "Did someone have a fight in here or something?" he asked as he bent over to inspect them. ...It might've been me...but what was I fighting, then?
He sighed. He wasn't going to find answers just by wandering about. Maybe he'd find them outside.
Yana stood up, checked himself to see if he had anything else (he didn't), then he shrugged. "This is going to be a long day, I just know it..."

As the mysterious young man traversed to the door, it opened wide quite suddenly.

Walking into the church was a young man wearing a dark green cap with a pair of sunglasses. Accompanying him was a young female with bat like wings, horns, and a lizard like tail, with short pink hair.

To be honest, Rosaline had accompanied Gantz on his usual trips to the church because she wished to send up a prayer to the gods of Ivalice (If they could still hear her at all) to look after them on a trip they were gonna go on, as well as look after the two's friends from Clan Highwind. They had already found Roland, so the others were probably somewhere around...

When the two walked in however, they found the mysterious young man looking at them. Gantz looked back, lowering his sunglasses. ".... I have to say, I see more action in this church then I ever do out on the field..."

Oddly enough, Gantz thought, the more he looked at this young man, the more he looked familiar... But from where?

"Hello there." Rosaline called, looking a tad concerned. "Are you lost sir?"

[doctorzero]

(Hehehe.)
Oh, you have no idea, lady, Yana thought. Still, he finally had a chance to get some information, at least.
"Uh, yeah, I kinda am. I don't supp--" He stopped abruptly. Hold on...
He stared at the boy in the shades for a second. He was sure he had just met this guy, and yet...did he know him from somewhere? He shook his head. Probably just my imagination.
"Er, sorry. Yeah, I'm pretty lost. Do you know where we are? I just woke up a minute ago, eh...what're your names, by the way?"

[gantzgun74]

Gantz looked on at the boy a moment... But after a bit he shook his head.

Nah... Couldn't have been...

Rose temporarily looked to Gantz but decided to put off the shake of the head. "Oh of course, sir." She bowed a bit. "My name is Rosaline of Clan Highwind." She motions to Gantz, whom smiled a bit as he fixed his glasses back up. "And this is my fiance Gantz."

"Leader of Clan Highwind, and known hero." He smiled as he scratched behind his head. "Was also a pretty good monster hunter too."

"I suppose we're just ignoring me now?" The voice came from the sword in the sheathe on Gantz's belt.

Rose jumped a bit. "Ultima! Soul don't scare me like that!" She looked to Gantz, "Why did you bring her here? I thought this was a time for you and me?"

The Clan Leader sighed and adjusted his cap. "Well... Last time I was here, I ran into this vampire... Nearly got pretty messy."

[doctorzero]

Yana nodded. "Nice to meet you both," he said politely. Though, now that he thought of it, he couldn't help but feel as if he heard the name 'Gantz' before...Nah.
He had to admit, though, Rosaline DID look cute. Gantz must be pretty lucky.
He nearly jumped out of his skin along with Rosaline when he heard the voice, though. "The HECK?!"

[gantzgun74]

Gantz noticed Yama's surprised reaction, and undid the rope on his belt, taking the sheathe. "Heheheh... Sorry about that, sir. What you heard was my sword. I suppose you've heard of Soul Calibur?"

When he held the sheathe before Yama, he pulled out the sword, revealing it to be, what looked like, a sword that was made out of the purest crystal to ever be seen. What looked a semi-circle with a carved on dot took up the hilt, almost similar in appearance to an eye... Said eye glowed a light blue, "If you have, then I am her. Soul Calibur is my name."

[doctorzero]

Yana stared at the sword quizzically. "...No, I don't think I've heard of you, sorry."
BRRRRRRRRING!!!!
The sound caused all three of them to jump. "What the heck was that?!"

[gantzgun74]

If Soul had a face, one could easily tell she'd look irritated at this cluelessness. "What?!"

"Ah don't worry about it Soul. He doesn't look like he's from around here anyways." He put Soul away into the sheath, and tied the rope back to his belt. "Well I guess it doesn't matter if you do or not. Soul may be my weapon, but to know her means to know about 'another certain sword', and you don't want that."

The loud 'BRRRRRRIIIING!!!!!!' sound caught everyone by surprise, as they all jumped. "U-Ultima!! What IS that?!" Rosaline yelled, looking around.

[doctorzero]

Yana jumped again as the sound continued. "It sounds like a...phone?"
Following the sound, he walked over to one of the pews and looked under it. What he found appeared to be a cell phone.
BRRRRRRING!
He picked it up and checked the number. He didn't recognized it (big surprise), but he chose to answer. "Hello?"
"Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe, all mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe."
Yana was confused. "Uh, who is this?"
"Who indeed? An angel of salvation, maybe? Or perchance a demon of damnation?"
(For the record, it's on speakerphone, so everyone can hear it.)

[gantzgun74]

Gantz and Rose looked and listened as the voice through the phone went into that gibberish fest, leading Yama to ask who it was. When the voice answered, the couple looked between each other confused. Walking over to the young man, Gantz looked to the phone. "Think you can be a bit more specific? Who are you?" His voice sounded apprehensive. Some weird stuff had happened on Dimensional Clash before, but this was certainly new...

[doctorzero]

(You asked for it.)
"Why, Mr. Venturi, you don't recognize my voice?" The voice said mockingly. "It HAS been a long time, true. What's it been, a few months, a year? Maybe more? I don't know, time moves more differently for me than you."
Yana stared the phone, then at Gantz. "You guys know each other?"
"Of course we do!" The voice sounded offended. "I was present at one of the most trying times of BOTH of your lives and you don't remember me, Gantz? For shame. Now, for the amnesiac holding the phone, I have something of yours."

[gantzgun74]

.... The voice did indeed sound familiar... The only real problem with the introduction was that it hadn't been a few months since that time... It had been well over 4 years since what had happened, those 4 years turning him from a cowardly and meek 15 year old into a 19 year old confidant and decently powerful mage and summoner. Not only that, but...

Said events gave him nothing but nightmares.

When at last the voice did sound familiar, Gantz looked quite surprised. "Y-You-?"

"Gantz?" Rosaline chimed in, looking curious. "Do you know this man?"

For a second, he remained quiet.... "I did once, a long time ago." He saw Yama's expression, before he looked to the phone. "How did you find this world? And what is it that you want?"

After all Dimensional Island DID exist as little more then a world inbetween; A spacial anomaly that often sucked in people from other worlds. He knew that just as well as anyone.

[doctorzero]

Yana looked at Gantz in confusion. "Huh?"
"Patience, amnesia boy," the voice chided. "All will be made clear in time. Now, as for how I came here, Gantz. Really. I make it a habit of going from one world to the next, doing what needs to be done. I thought I told you this, didn't I, so long ago? I also happened to be aware of this island long before you were even born. As for what I want...well, I ORIGINALLY only had business with the one holding the phone, but when I found out YOU were here, on this hunk of rock in the middle of oblivion, I was quite pleasantly surprised. It has been so long for me since last we met, and I was hoping we could catch up. Sadly, we may need to put it on hold--"
"All right, that's enough!" Yana interrupted. He was more than annoyed by the fact that he was just STANDING here like he was being ignored while a pair of total strangers were playing some demented form of catch up with each other. "Who the heck is this, how do you know Gantz, and what do you mean by business with me?! I want answers, you cryptic jerk!"

[gantzgun74]

The clan leader growled, immediately remembering that the voice had a point.

"Gantz, what IS going on?" Rosaline asked, looking confused. Gantz's only response was to hold up an index finger, asking for a minute.

To be frank, Gantz was steadily losing his patience. "Look... I don't know what you want with me or this guy here, but I'm pretty sure we don't WANT to know. Stay AWAY from us. I have my own life now, and I don't want ANYTHING to do with YOU, your stupid henchmen, your psychotic bimbo sidekick, or anyone else. We have ENOUGH problems trying to make a living HERE."

[doctorzero]

(You went there, all right.)
The voice ignored Yana completely. "For your information, Gantz, I've lost half of my henchmen since we met because of you-know-who, and as for the 'bimbo sidekick', I made a point to 'fire' her after that fiasco, and oh, did I mention she's after your blood? Yes, for some insane reason, she blames YOU for what happened. Well, you and a certain someone else who I shall not name because of the current situation."
"Don't you igno--" Yana started.
"Will you wait a moment?!" The voice said irritably. "I'll get to you when I'm done talking to Gantz here. Where was I? Ah, yes. Like I said, I originally only had business with the amnesiac. But perhaps I should remind you of what I told you last time." The voice took on a threatening tone.
"I said, and I QUOTE, "I shall be watching over you, Gantz, and to see whether you deserve that second chance I gave you. For your sake, don't screw up this time." Those were my exact words. Don't tell me you forgot them? As for you making a living here, you have the means to leave, don't you? Are you saying you can't go back to your lovely Ivalice? Or perhaps your bad luck caught up with you for the umpteenth time?"
Yana lost his patience. Glaring into the phone, he snarled, "Now listen, bud, I don't know who you are, or what you want, but if you ever try to threaten these people again, I WILL make sure you regret it, understand?"
"And how will you do that, exactly?" They could almost imagine the person talking raise his eyebrow. "By force? Do you want to face me in combat, is that what you want?"
"I'll do ANYTHING if it'll get you to shut up!"
The voice sighed. "Gantz, if you don't mind, please enlighten the ignoramus here who he's dealing with, if you please."
