Chapter One: A Day Gone Wrong
Things were going well until the drill appeared. Kai was just wandering around the world, relaxing as the assault team, including Kirito, cleared floor after floor. He couldn't help but laugh at the luck he had been having. His sword, the Eternal Blaze, hadn't dropped below its initial durability in a while. He had been working on mastering all of his skills, and even using a remote ability to spy on the assault team's progress. His hunting abilities kept him well-fed, but he still didn't slack off. Kai looked around, and noticed a strange object lying on the ground. When he walked over to it, he saw it was a drill. "That's odd…" he muttered, confused. He had been in the area thousands of times, and he had never once seen this drill. The grooves of it were pulsing green. Kai crouched down, examining it. His appraisal skill led him to believe it was somebody's. He decided to touch it, just out of curiosity. It flashed green, and suddenly, he vanished.
"Hey, hurry up there, will you, Simon (see-mone)?" a male voice shouted. A small boy riding in an open mech came dashing down a hill, carrying materials for a house. The mech had a face on its hull, and it was rather small to be much use. "Coming, Dayakka!" Simon shouted. The construction of Kamina City was coming along, but they still had a long ways to go. After defeating Lordgenome, The members of Team Dai-Gurren had a lot of work to do, especially with creating a safe haven for those who were living in underground villages, like Simon had once. Simon rode up to a large pile and deposited his cargo. He was about to depart again, when a strange aqua-green haired man came walking up. "Mmm, looks like Lagann's taken some damage. Don't you worry, Simon, I'll fix it right up" the man told Simon. "Hey, thanks, Leeron. But don't take too long, we still have a lot of work to do." Simon replied, retrieving a small drill-type key from Lagann's cockpit. After repairs were finished, Simon got back into Lagann and headed off into a large pine forest. He used Lagann's drill to chop down trees. After he had collected a large amount of timber, he started back to the construction site, when he saw a strange symbol on the ground. It looked like something that would have been in the Spiral palace, but it didn't give off a good vibe. "Hey, Rossiu, I need you to get over here. We may need Gurren Lagann." Simon spoke to someone. A response came right away: "I'm on my way, Simon." Moments later, a larger mech appeared, looking more bulky than Lagann. The eyes of the larger mech were covered with a large pair of black sunglasses shaped like a "V". After discussion, Simon and Rossiu decided to try a Giga Drill on the strange shape. The canopy of Lagann pulled across in a dome fashion, then Lagann started to change. Its arms and legs collapsed to the back of the mech, and a drill popped out from the bottom. Simon crashed into the roof of Gurren, Rossiu's mech, and suddenly, the arms and legs extended. A helmet flew up from the back and latched on to the head. The combination was complete, Gurren Lagann was formed.
