Tengen Toppa... Gurren Lagann! In real life?!
Chapter 1: Beginnings
This journey begins with but one man seeking to have less boredom in his life. His name... Kyle. He is blonde, 22, of good work ethic, a good heart, and a studio apartment that can house 2 people, but he couldn't find one for one person. He is a slender-built man, wearing glasses, and usually dressed in T-Shirts of many logos and blue jeans that may be a size too big for him, but he can't get them to fit better without a belt.
He is but a man in his job, toiling away just after graduating college. He is a medical coder. These days tend to be his most monotonous.
Kyle was talking to himself at this time, "Man... after awhile, you kind of want more." He looked into his clock, noticing it was almost time to leave, and he had gotten nearly all of his work done, but one minor detail was missing.
"This is... what I need to do... Let's see... Joe F Blow... suffered inflammation to his coccyx, the code is..." He inserted the code so the billers in the back could get them. He was happy with his job. It paid well, gave him dinner every night, and allowed him to afford dates with his girlfriend, a musical therapist.
"Ooof... didn't look pretty, either." He turned his computer off after filing his paperwork for the billers in the morning. He then turned off his computer, and got a giddy smile on his face.
Kyle said, "See you after the weekend, Hal!" He yelled to a coworker, busting out of his office.
Hal replied, "Whatever, man..." Kyle ignored him, running to his car. Tonight would be a special night. The Gurren Lagann all-nighter again. Watching the entire series once a month, from his DVD collection. His job also allowed him to affordably make his apartment a man-cave.
Kyle giddily said, "Oooh boy! I love this show!" He inserted the DVD, and started from episode 1, again. He LOVED it beyond anyone's imagination. While he could not fathom how anyone could dislike it, he never hated a person exclusively for that one fact. He was up to the scenes in the show where Kamina got Simon to get the pig moles out of their pens
Kamina, as usual, said, "Simon, your drill is the drill..." Kyle chimed in as he was speaking.
"That will pierce the vault of heaven!"
Simon had replied, "How?"
Kamina and Kyle had said together, "I got it all figured out, don't ask questions!"
Simon answered, "Meaning you don't know anything." He snickered to himself as he was eating his popcorn.
Kyle said, "Oh, Simon, how little you know of the man you will become!" He smiled, then got a sad look.
"But what will it matter in real life? I wish. WISH! Something would happen in my life to make it more interesting. Just... once! Not that I hate my life, but it is too mundane. Too... usual." He looked outside his window to see a shooting star.
"Shooting star coming up! Hear my wish! Give me something to make my life interesting! I wish for that, oh star in the heavens!" It was then, the star turned, and flew right for his parking lot.
"Whoa! Wait a-" An explosion happened when the falling star collided. It blinded him, and the light dissipated 5 minutes later. Kyle went outside to check it out. His other neighbors were all out for now, to his surprise, but he failed to remember why they were all out. He supposed it was a holiday. Once outside, he saw a glowing green light. Once he got closer to it, he saw the shape of the falling star.
"N-no way..." He saw it. A Lagann. It was red, and had a tan face. The eyes were closed. He was frozen in place, attempting to even comprehend this sight.
"A... Lagann. A motherfuckin' Lagann!" He smiled widely.
"Oh yeah! YEAH! I knew it!" He ran up to it, and found a Core Drill was already inserted, but the unit was off. He turned it on. The Lagann activated.
"Oh man... OH YEAH!" A voice had spoken.
The voice had said, "W-where... am I?" Kyle looked down, seeing it, but couldn't believe it.
Kyle said, "Did you talk?"
The voice replied, "Yes. I can talk. I see you have enough Spiral Power to activate me." He looked down, seeing it again. The Lagann's mouth moved. It could talk.
"Lagann?"
"I don't know my name, but if that is what you wish to call me, I will use that name." He smiled. "What is your name?"
"My name is Kyle."
"Kyle. Good. I hope we will be good friends."
"I have a Lagann, and it can talk. This is the best day of my life. Thank you wishing goddess!"
"I... huh?"
"Nothing. So... where do you come from?"
"I... cannot remember."
"Do you know your function?"
"No. I can speak, and think. That's about it."
"I think you can be amazing, and more than what you think. By a long shot."
"Take me to your residence. We will talk more there." Kyle complied.
"This will be the best adventure of my life!" Lagann managed to get in the apartment room with little trouble, except at the door. He walked in sideways.
"Interesting."
"Make yourself at home, Lagann."
"This is good. Very good. Your energy can fuel me, and I can fill your thirst for adventure. This relationship will be beneficial to the both of us."
"You have no idea." He smiled again.
To be continued.
