	Kato looked thoughtful.  "Let's try something different this time...."

	Goku-san scratched his head slowly, face screwed up in thought.  "So... 
what you're telling me is, the only way for your friends to be brought 
back to life is for you to kill me?"
	Kato nodded sadly.  "I'm afraid so.  But we haven't got a chance 
against you.  On the other hand, you have a reputation as a really good 
guy, and you seem to come back from the dead pretty easily, so I was 
hoping that you might see your way clear to, um, well you know...." 
Kato trailed off significantly.
	Goku looked blank.  Kei groaned and shoved Kato aside.  "Let me try -- 
I think I can put this in terms he can understand."

	Ending 1:  "Waddaya MEAN, we get no points for a target that agrees to 
die!?!?!"

	Ending 2:  "Okay -- letting Goku talk us into going on a hunt for the 
Dragon Balls so we could wish our friends back, wish away all the (bad) 
aliens, and get out of the game *sounded* like a good idea at the time. 
  How was *I* to know each fight scene lasts a month and a half?!?"


	Sorry, DB -- your droll, tongue-in-cheek narration made me do it.  This 
one was definitely snickerworthy, and even for someone totally ignorant 
of the canon material, explained enough of Gantz on the fly that it 
wasn't hard to get a picture of what was going on.
	I give this three LOLs and a giggle out of five.  :)
