Cover Page[]

The cover is part of the actual chapter, showing the attack of the Vampire Bosses on the survivors of the Dinosaur Alien Mission. The first panel shows Nathan Rich, Sean Lewis, Bob Morris, Michael Combs and barely visible Yoshikazu Suzuki being shot at. The next panel shows the four vampire bosses unloading their guns on them and the third shows a close up of a shooting Hikawa.

Synopsis[]

The chapter begins with the Vampires attack on the survivors of the Dinosaur Alien Mission, Kei Kurono being transferred in the middle of it, while everyone present, with the exception of Shion Izumi and Yoshikazu Suzuki, are gunned down and killed. Yoshikazu begins firing back with his X-Pistol while Kurono panics in the Gantz Room, confused as to why the mission hadn't ended once the transfer started.

One of the Vampires jumps over Yoshikazu's head and attacks the weak points in his Gantz Suit, the holes beneath the chin and at the side of the head, causing it to malfunction and stop working immediately. The Vampire is about to shoot him in the head when Shion comes to his rescue, swinging his Gantz Sword and forcing the Vampires to temporarily retreat. Hikawa states that he remembers Shion's face while forming a sword from his hand, though Shion doesn't recall ever meeting him and demands that they make their fight quick, and he doesn't have much time before he is transferred. Shion begins to transfer just as they clash swords, however, forcing him to jump back and finish being transferred midair. Kurono is confused when he returns to the Gantz Room and the chapter ends with the Vampires about to kill Yoshikazu.
