Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 2 (If there was a sequel, this is what I would like it to be)
Burning and Shining: The Two Gurren Lagann
燃える、光る、二人のグレンラガン
First of all, I must apologize to the readers because of my poor grammar, sentence structure and writing. English is my second language and as a bilingual, writing has always been something difficult for me. I am really sorry if this first draft is un-readable because the writing sucks (I'll admit it sucks, but I believe the plot is good). But, please give it a try and read it. I truly hope I at least wrote it so it's readable. Well, enjoy reading this and I thank you for reading my ideas.
Chapter 1: What the hell? Two Gurren Lagann's?
大一話：バカな！グレンラガンが二つ？
Twenty years have solemnly passed since the great Gurren Brigade defeated the Anti-spirals. During those twenty years, president Rossiu has succeeded in creating the Galactic Spiral government. Without a worry in the world the entire galaxy enjoyed peace and prosperity. Thanks to the Galactic Spiral government, things like war and a conflict are avoided. The galaxy being in a state of peace, even the spiral nemesis can be prevented. Everything was at peace and there seemed to be no problem with the universe….or so it seemed.
On a small remote island, an elementary school was celebrating the day when the universe was rescued by the legendary spiral warrior Simon and the Gurren Brigade. It was a national universe-wide holiday that honored the hero's and fallen comrades of the Gurren Brigade. Sadly, the people could never thank the legendary spiral warrior Simon, because he has been missing ever since his wedding day. But, they still remember and honor him for what they have done for them.
In a small class room, kids and parents were listening to women with long majestic beautiful looking red hair. This woman looked fairly old, probably in her forties. Anyway, she was talking about the story how Simon and his Gurren Brigade rescued earth from the clutches of the Anti-Spirals.
"And that is when the Gurren Brigade managed to escape from that awful dreadful body of water…." The long red hair women spoke as if she knew about it book to cover.
The kids and parents just listened in awe as they were memorized by her words. As she was talking, suddenly a young teenage boy standing right next to her suddenly jumped in her way and interrupted her story. "And that is when Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann transformed into like super Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann and started pounding and kicking ass!" The teenage boy enthusiastically said with mainly loud arrogant voice. He definitely looked like the type of boy who thrived for adventure. None the less, this blue hair fool seemed like the prefect candidate for trouble. Weirdly, this young teenage boy resembled Kamina in some way, whether it's his personality or looks.
"HEY!" A teenage girl came and whacked the guy in the head for interrupting the story. "What the hell Kai! Let mom tell the story, she actually knew the person who participated in that battle, unlike you." She gave a little wink to Kai. This young girl certainly had some temper problem. Her good looks made up for that though. Just like her mother she had long majestic beautiful looking hair. The only difference in her hair was that her hair was blue unlike her mother who had red hair.
"Aoko! Stop hitting Kai and sit down and behave yourself." She looked timid as she said that.
"Ah come on mom I was just trying to help you know?"
"No, I don't know so why don't u just shut that pie hole of yours and listen like the rest of the people here!" Aoko was frozen up and she didn't have the strength to talk back. She didn't want to upset her mother too much, since she knew what she is capable. Yoko did seem to change a little when it comes to temper, probably because she's old.
Kai pocked at her and thanked her for saving him. "Hey thanks a lot Yoko…" Kai suddenly covered his mouth. He must have said something he shouldn't have. "I meant Yomako…..my bad."
Yoko just pessimistically smiled back. It seems she didn't care that much. It's true that Yoko doesn't want other people to know her true identity. But, at this point even if people call by her real name, people wouldn't believe that she is actually the 'real' Yoko Ritona. Everybody just thinks of her as Yomako sensei, the school principle. But her child Aoko and her adopted son Kai is the only one who actually know the real true identify of Yomako. Yoko or Yomako sensei continued on her story as everybody else couldn't wait till to hear the story about the legendary Gurren Brigade.
While everybody else in the universe was celebrating the holiday one particular space ship was patrolling around the area to make sure everything was alright. This space ship was of course the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. Even at a holiday like this the military has to make sure everything is A-ok. The ship master and captain Viral gave commands to his crew members as he reminiscence the day when he fought along side Simon. It certainly warmed his heart as he remembered the good old days.
"Heeey Captain Viral" One crew member suddenly bulged up to him and hugged Viral out of nowhere. "How are you doing nya?"
"Eh? What the? What are you doing Nyo? Get the hell off me."
The cat beast man had no choice but to let go. "Nyaaa what's with the cold face?" Nyo looked at Viral with his innocent looking cat eyes.
"I said stay away from me! I'm the captain of this ship and as your superior commander I order you to stay away from me!" Viral yelled angrily and took out his trade mark machete out. From the looks of it he still hasn't changed at all.
"Nyaaaa what's wrong Captain?" he gave a little wink at him. "Awww it's so cute to see your shy face, it makes me want to gobble you up." He squealed like a teenage girl as he said that.
Viral shivered as he heard him say that. "God damn cat beast man …. "He suddenly muttered something to himself. "Damn Leearon's apprentice…."
"Ehm? Did u say something nya?"
"Eh nothing."
"Are you sure nya?" He suddenly came face to face with him, with his nose almost touching Viral's nose. He softly said "Are you sure that wasn't a love confession nya?"
Viral's was utterly disturbed by this. "Get away from me you freak!"
"Aww what's wrong Captain? Cat got your tongue nya?" He chuckled as he swayed away from him.
"Damn bitch." Viral seemed pretty pissed off. He hasn't been this pissed off since he met Kamina. Viral took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He was a Captain and he shouldn't let one cat beast man bother him. "So how is the situation?"
"Everything is ok Captain, there seems to be no problem." Said crew member A.
"Good. Now if things go along I can finally go back and celebrate the holiday." It seems Viral wanted to 'actually' celebrate the holiday instead of patrolling around. The real reason they were patrolling was to show the rest of the galaxy the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann by flying bypass each and every planet. Showing off the monument ship that saved the universe was certainly an eye catcher when it comes to this holiday. A hefty job for Viral, but somebody has to do it.
"Wait a minute! I'm getting something Captain."
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure but the computer is reading some kind of time disruption in space. Wait, no. I'm not sure what exactly is going on but it's shattering the space itself!"
In front of them they could see a radiating green spiraling light. It was so bright that the whole entire galaxy could see the light.
"What the hell is that?" Viral looked at the memorizing green light and finally noticed something. "Could that possibly be Spiral Nemesis? But, that's impossible." Even if it wasn't the Spiral Nemesis, that green beacon light is suspicious. "Set the protocol level to yellow. All Gulaparl units in stand by! Were not sure what were dealing with here."
The green light was rupturing a hole in the space itself, creating some kind time continuum. Something was happening and the crew of the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann didn't know what they were dealing with.
Inside the ship Gimmy and Darry were on board Gurren Lagann waiting for their next order. Gimmy was sitting in Lagann's cock pit looking a bit distressed. "Darry please….I'm begging you, get off Gurren."
"Why? Do you not trust me as the pilot of Gurren?"
"No it's just that I'm worried about you. You were in the bathroom for an awfully long time."
"Gimmy….I know you are worried about me. But, how long have you known me? Honestly, who do you think I am?"
Gimmy chuckled as he heard the trade mark word 'Who do you think I am'
"Look" Darry looked down and touched her stomach. "Besides, I'm not the only one, who you should be worried about."
"What do you mean Darry?"
"Ugh! Are you really that dim witted?
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"WHAT!"
"Yah I just found out few hours ago."
"Well, now you should really get off Gurren now."
Darry seemed a bit distressed as well. "GIMMY!"
"Yes ma'am?" Darry looked really scared.
"Please as your friend, as your lover, as your future wife. Don't let me leave your side."
Gimmy finally agreed with Darry. None the less, he was still worried. Ever since child hood they were always together, and even being away for a split second meant horror for them. Gimmy understood why Darry wanted to stay, even in a condition like that. Gimmy loved Darry, and Darry loved Gimmy. These two couldn't even leave each other for a second.
Viral has determined that green light is emitting some kind of spiral energy. But, he couldn't tell where it was coming from. Could this possibly be Spiral Nemesis? He had to take every single possibility. He didn't know what he was dealing with.
Right when Viral wanted to know some answers, his prayers has been answered. Something enormous suddenly just came out from the spiraling green light. From the looks of it; some kind of ship. But, something didn't look right. Viral laid his eyes upon that ship and noticed something shocking. That ship, that enormous ship, resembled Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. It wasn't like an exact duplicate, but it definitely resembled Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. More so it looked like a combination of Dai Gun-zan/Dai-Gurren and Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. More importantly, where in the hell did that ship come from? Viral was in complete awe. He didn't know what he was dealing with.
The unknown ship was in critical condition. Every single machinery and device was over heated. A man with a weird hair due and orange sunglass with mole pig like nose tried to solve the situation they were in right now. He yelled "What is the current situation right now? Tell me the condition of the ship!"
"75 of the ship is heavily damaged sir. Also all weaponry system is down including Maelstrom Cannon and Mega vortex Cannon." Said crew member 1.
The mole pig like man looked up and saw a blue haired man with a cape that had the Gurren Brigade symbol on his back. "So in other words, our ship is at the moment, temporarily useless?"
The man with the cape simply just smiled. "Well this certainly turned out to be an interesting set of events. Look up at the sky. "
The mole pig man looked up and noticed that the sky was filled with stars. "Hmm could this be some kind of Super Spiral Space dimension?"
"Doubt it. Those stars look too real to be fake." The caped man glared at the sky intensely as he looked up at the heavens. "Hmm first off all I really want to know how the stars up the sky are there? Didn't we destroy every single one of them?"
"Sir, with all do respect, there is a possibility that the Spiral Nemesis must have created some kind of rupture in space." The mole pig like man gazed upon the stars and planet; finally realized something. "We must be in a different universe."
"A different universe, you say?"
"The Spiral Nemesis must have created some kind of space and time axe between our universe and this universe. Or there is another possibility."
"What could that be?"
"Perhaps some kind of alternate universe, we must have broken through some kind of time continuum portal or even broke through space itself when the Spiral Nemesis occurred. I'm not sure what exactly happened but this is for sure………"
Before he could finish his sentence the man in the cape said. "The light in the skies are all enemies."
"Agreed, Sir."
"Well, if we came to a different universe then this universe is the same as before. If I have to destroy every single one of them again, I'll gladly do it." The man in the cape courageously yelled out "Who do you think I am?"
As soon as the mole pig man heard that he knew what he must do. "Get the Gurren Lagann ready for standby!"
The man in the cape slowly walked towards him and patted him on the shoulder. "You always seem to know what my next actions are Boota."
"Well, it is my honor to stand by and fight by your side."
The man in the cape just smiled and walked by. "Well since our ship is unstable I think I will have a good look at our new universe." The man in the cape started to laugh like a mad man.
Viral finally ordered all Gulaparl units out and send them in a mission to investigate the unknown ship. "Be careful we're not quite sure what were dealing with here. From the looks of the ship, it looks like it is heavily armed with artillery cannons and turrets. Proceed with caution."
Gimmy was still a bit worried as they were ordered to investigate the ship. "Darry….this is the last chance to get off. Would you please do it for me?"
"Why are you so worried? I've been Gurren's pilot for years and all of a sudden you're worried about me piloting it?"
"It's just that I have a bad feeling about today. I just have this gut feeling that you will leave my side forever. It's just that, I love you so much that I don't want you to leave my side. I'm afraid that you will disappear in front of me forever. "
Darry felt a warm comforting feeling as she heard Darry say that. "Well either way you know how I am. I'm not getting off and besides….. Do you really think I'm the only one who worries? I worry about you all the time and you don't see me complaining." Darry had an awe facial expression. "Besides, I know that if I'm ever in danger, you will protect me no matter what."
That was it. That was enough for Gimmy to trust Darry. She was right. Darry had nothing to worry about since he knew Darry is a strong woman and with him by his side, he won't let anything happen to her. "Alright, Darry you win. You were right. I'm sorry."
"Well sorry isn't good enough. When we get back you better propose to me right away." Darry blushed heavily as she said that. Gimmy just smiled and by the time he could say "I love you" they were already headed off towards the unknown ship. Not knowing that they were headed to their doom.
The Gulaparl unit was coming close to the ship. So far nothing was happening, the unknown ship was not attacking them or showing any sign of retaliation. Gimmy reported back to Viral, and notified the ships situation. "Viral do you copy?"
"Yeah what's the situation over there?"
"From the looks of it the ship looks like it's heavily damaged and they are not showing any sign of retaliation."
"Is there any one onboard the ship?"
"Were checking but I'm not seeing anything." Then Gimmy saw something shocking and horrifying. "WAIT! I see something."
"What is it? Are they retaliating?"
"No but….."
"But what?" said Viral furiously wondering they were seeing.
"That's impossible. Could that possibly be?"
"Be what?"
"Gurren Lagann?"
"What do you mean Gurren Lagann, Gimmy? Gimmy!"
Gimmy and Darry were in complete awe. They couldn't believe what they were laying their eyes on. Darry immediately send a picture of what they saw. "Captain Viral were sending a video feed of this."
Viral looked at the monitor in front of him and finally got a video feed. Just like Gimmy and Darry, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was this some kind of Anti-Spiral trap? Were they still alive? Many things ran threw Viral's head but the only thing he could say was. "What the hell? Two Gurren Lagann's?"
"What's this?" the man with the cape said. "Is that Gurren Lagann?" Instead of looking shocked or horrified the man simply just smiled. "Very interesting."
Inside the man's Lagann cock pit Boota informed him something. "Sir after witnessing the enemy ship and the Gurren Lagann there is a high possibility that this is an alternate reality universe. That Gurren Lagann is simply the same as yours sir."
"How about the pilot? Is there a possibility that it could be another me, that's piloting the Gurren Lagann?"
"That's a good possibility, sir."
"If so, I wonder who is stronger?"
The man with the cape rammed his Gurren Lagann straight toward the other Gurren Lagann. Gimmy and Darry couldn't believe the enemy Gurren Lagann was picking a fight with them. As they were fighting, the man in the cape looked as if he was having fun. "Come on what's wrong! Is that all you got? I never would have expected to fight myself you know? So let's see which one of us is the strongest eh?"
Gimmy and Darry were having a hard time fending off the enemy Gurren Lagann. "God damn it, what the hell is going on. How is it possible that there are two Gurren Lagann in the first place?"
"Calm down Gimmy!" Darry was trying her hardest to fend off the enemy and trying to calm Gimmy down. "This guy is trying to kill us! We have to fight back."
"Are you ready Darry!"
"Ready when you are Gimmy."
"Take this Circule Spun Driller!" Multiple locations around the Gurren Lagann's body extend a long, thin drill that was piercing straight toward the enemy Gurren Lagann. With this attack, they were sure they would at least damage the enemy Gurren Lagann.
The man in the cape simply taunted them. "Is that it?"
The enemy Gurren Lagann single handily blocked every single drill with one hand. "Honestly, you disappoint me."
Gimmy and Darry couldn't believe what they saw. They are the exact same, they are both Gurren Lagann. How could that attack not even scratch the enemy Gurren Lagann? Gimmy and Darry tried a new tactic. They decided to use Gurren Lagann's trade mark attack. The Giga Drill Break, the only problem was that for them to use Giga Drill Break, it takes some time. So they had no choice but to fall back for a minute and let the Gulaparl unit handle the enemy Gurren Lagann.
The man in the cape was a bit astonished by the Gulaparl unit. "What's this? Never seen a Gunman like this before?" He then examined the Gunman and noticed something. "Ah I see it's a replica of a Gurren Lagann? Well then, let's see if you're better than my Lazengann units."
The enemy Gurren Lagann charged toward the Gulaparl with ease and had no problem destroying them. The Gulaparl unit couldn't even get a hand in this combat. They were overwhelmingly getting out beaten by a single Gunman. Darry and Gimmy better hurry or the whole Gulaparl unit would be wiping out in matter of minutes.
Finally they were ready. "Darry you ready?"
"Read as always."
"Alright take this Gurren Lagann." The Gurren Lagann first threw the sunglasses like a boomerang splitting in two and impaling the enemy Gurren Lagann immobile. Then its right arm created a massive drill bigger then the Gurren Lagann itself by twice, charged toward the enemy Gurren Lagann. This time fore sure, they thought they would win.
The man in the cape looked very disappointed by the attack. He muttered to himself. "Is that the best you can do? Is that all the spiral energy you got?"
The enemy Gurren Lagann freed himself from the sunglasses and created a tiny little drill with the right hand of Gurren Lagann and charged toward the behemoth Giga Drill Breaker.
Something happened that Gimmy and Darry would have never expected. The tiny drill that the enemy Gurren Lagann made totally obliterated the Giga Drill Breaker. The tiny drill actually out wit and out destroyed the Giga Drill Break. Gimmy and Darry couldn't believe their eyes. More so they couldn't believe how strong the enemy Gurren Lagann was.
"How pitifully weak." Said the man in the cape "I'll show you how you really do a Giga Drill Break."
The enemy Gurren Lagann's right arm became a giant drill just like the other Gurren Lagann, but this time he created it much faster and it looked much more powerful.
Gimmy knew that this was trouble. "Oh shit. We have to retreat Gimmy."
Before Darry could even respond, the enemy Gurren Lagann already got his sunglasses and immobilized the Gurren Lagann. He already saw the enemy Gurren Lagann charging toward them. Gimmy realized that there was no way they could escape. They were in trouble and there was no way out. Someone had to act fast but who?
Darry said something that would sadden Gimmy for the rest of his life. "Gimmy…..I love you. Because I love you I want to save you and protect you. Please forgive me."
Gimmy suddenly felt like a knife pierced through his heart. "What are you talking about?"
With all her might Darry managed to free herself from the sunglasses, but she had no time to evade the enemies Giga Drill Break. It was too close, so Darry did something drastic to save her loved one. Darry removed Lagann's head from Gurren's body and threw the Lagann as far as she can. Gimmy couldn't believe what she has done. He couldn't even believe what he was going to witness. Before she permanently disconnected the head Darry said one final word. "I love you."
The enemy Gurren Lagann pierced right through Gurren's body. Incinerating Darry's body instantaneously, killing her in matter of seconds. Gimmy couldn't believe he has witnessed his love one's death. He couldn't believe that he couldn't protect her. He couldn't believe Darry saved him instead of herself. At this moment his heart stopped moving. He was in such pain he couldn't even think. Tears started to rush out from his eyes. There was nothing he could do at the moment. Darry was dead and he was alive. To this day he would regret letting Darry die the rest of his life.
The enemy Gurren Lagann was a bit impressed that the Gurren Lagann at least managed to save Lagann. He thought of finding Lagann and finishing it off, but at this point he had enough. He already destroyed all the Gulaparl unit and there was nothing else to fight. "How boring." The enemy Gurren Lagann flew back towards the ship, as the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann couldn't believe the entire Gulaparl unit was destroyed. What so ever, it even destroyed Gurren Lagann.
"What in hell just happened?" Viral couldn't even blink his eye as he witness the entire Gulaparl unit destroyed in matter of few minutes. "They even destroyed Gurren Lagann? How is this possible?"
"What should we do Captain?'
Viral managed to snap out and regained conscious of himself. "You know what to do. Fire all weapons at that unknown ship. Nyo get ready for the Maelstrom cannon."
"Roger Captain Viral, nya." From the looks of it when it comes to important events, Nya is very serious. Still that doesn't change that he will not stop saying 'nya' at every end of the sentence.
As the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann approached the unknown ship they noticed that the enemy Gurren Lagann was standing on top their ship. Viral ordered not to fire. "Wait! Don't fire." Viral zoomed on the unknown ship and noticed something. He noticed a Gurren Brigade flag on top of the ship, just like the one they have. "What? How is that possible? How do they have the Gurren Brigade flag." Then Viral noticed something so horrifying that he would have thought that this whole event was a dream.
The caped man was standing on top of the Gurren Lagann with his arms crossed looked directly toward Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. His spiral pupil eyes looking straight toward the ship somehow made him laugh.
Viral laid his eye upon the pilot of the enemy Gurren Lagann, and dropped to his knees. "This is impossible. Fist a ship that looked like Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann, an exact same looking Gurren Lagann and this? I can't handle shit like this all at once." Viral stood up and confronted his enemy knowing that his enemy could possibly be the worst person to have as an enemy. He laid his eye upon Simon. The Simon in front of him looked like the Simon during his prime time. This time the enemy of the Spiral being is the legendary hero himself. Simon, the hole digger.
To be continued……
