Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

The Spiral Wars

Prologue:

30 years after the initial attack on the Anti-Spiral nemesis that threatened Earth, Spiral has started to emanate through the universe once again. Many civilizations have adapted to the Spiral energy and are adapting very quickly. The Spiral Savior, Simon, is left to wander this ever growing spiral universe, alone. Along his way across one of these Spiral colonies that has popped up on the Earth's surface, he met a young boy who was fascinated with the lights in the skies.

"Wowww! Look at them go! They're magnificent!"

"They sure are kid. That's Gurren Lagann and his fleet of Spiral Powered Gunmen! Quite the spectacle wouldn't ya say?"

"No not those, mister. The bright lights! There's so many of them! I leave that town over there every night," he points to a small town filled with many lights down a steep hill," then I come out here just to see these lights. My mommy said that they were called stars, but that was a long time ago. She's gone now and I live with my Aunt."

"Heh heh heh. So you're fascinated with stars eh? You remind me of my bro. He was always talking about piercing through the heavens."

Simon looked at the back of the boy's head as he stared into the night sky. "Hey kid what's your name?"

"It's Kome! But you can just call me Ko."

"Well Kome, I want you to have something. Turn around"

Kome turns to meet eyes wth a ragged old man. He was draped in a red cloak and he had a small pig-mole on his left shoulder. As Kome met the mans eyes he was astonished. Sparkling past a mess of facial hair were 2 green eyes in a spiral pattern with no iris. Both eyes were completely green with a black swirl originating from the pupil. The man held out his hand and conjured forth a small core drill. It shone with immense green luster. He handed it over to Kome and just turned around.

"Wait mister! What is this? And who are you?"

"That in your hand, is your own destiny, and one of these days, you'll run into your destiny, and you must face it with all your strength and the strength of the people that surround you. As for me, I'm nobody anymore, just a shadow of my Bro's shadow. Some call me a Spiral Savior, others call me Simon, and some just call me the Wanderer. But you can call me Friend."

And with that last comment, Kome was left speechless, grasping onto the first gift he had ever received, and watching the only friend that he's ever had walk away. He never got to tell him thank you or tell him goodbye. But he vowed that one day he would track down this "Simon" and he would thank him, not only for the Core Drill but also for the friendship that he provided which would change Kome's life from that day forward.

6 years passed and young Kome is sitting under a tree napping. He is wearing a deep blue cape with a star speckled pattern all over it. He has black pointed glasses covering his eyes (very reminiscent of Kamina's shades). A tall, young, blonde girl walks up to him and kicks him in the side.

"OW OW OW OW OW! Hey! What did ya do that for, Kittanna?!"

"C'mon Kome! Mom says it's time to go home! She says you've been outside for too long! So LETS GO!"

"Geez, quit yellin at me. I was only napping for like 10 minutes. She needs to relax."

"You understand that she's only caring for you right?! C'mon Dumbass, let's get goin before I kick you again!"

The two walk off, down a hill, to a village filled with lights. They walked to their quaint house and opened the door. From this moment on, their lives would be different. Their destiny would take them to places they never could have imagined.
