Chapter 2: Are you really Simon the Hole Digger?

Viral did not know what to do. The man they were seeing; the man they were facing was Simon. But, somehow this Simon looked much more younger. In fact he looked exactly like the Simon who fought the Anti-Spiral twenty years ago. If they were facing the real Simon; he would look like an old man. But, something was different about this Simon. He looked overwhelmingly manly, broad, and most importantly GAR. The Simon Viral was facing seemed like a totally different Simon. None the less he is Simon though.

Crew member A yelled over at Viral for orders. "Sir, Captain Viral! What are your orders?"

Viral did not know what to do. Should he fire at the enemy ship? Or should he contact HQ and inform about their current situation. Before he could even decide the enemy was already on their next move.

The Space Battle Ship Spin On was currently disabled; the only thing it could do at the moment was defend itself with the Spiral energy shield. Boota contacted Simon on their current situation. "Sir, we are working on fixing the Space Battle Ship Spin On, but, it's going to take some time. The only equipment working at the moment is the defensive mechanism. How should we proceed?"

Simon aka Garlock wasn't stupid. He is very well aware of the situation they were in right now. More then half of their ship is damaged and they were in an whole new universe; that was unfamiliar to them. "For now, we shall retreat and concentrate on repairing the ship." This Simon certainly knew what he was doing. He was not the type of Simon who boldly fight the enemy without thinking tactically. He seemed smart, decisive, and very tactical. He is 100 percent well aware of his situation. But, that did not mean he was going to back down so easily. "But before that, I think I will take a little visit inside that ship. From the looks of it; that ships looks quite similar to ours. From what I can calculate, the Bow of that ship should lead to the main bridge."

"So what are your orders, sir.?"

"Heh" Simon(Garlock) smiled. "You go ahead and retreat and deal with the ships repair. I think I will have a look inside that ship. Maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to meet the Simon in this universe."

"As you wish, Sir." Boota acknowledged his trustworthy Captain.

The ship steadily retreated away from the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. Viral noticed the enemy ship retreating. "Shit! We cannot let the enemy ship escape. Fire main artillery cannons directly towards the enemy ship."

Right before the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann could fire it's artillery cannons the enemy Gurren Lagann came straight towards the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann.

"Red alert Red alert!" said the navigator.

"What's the matter?"

"Enemy Gurren Lagann is approaching the ship at a high speed. Should we fire?"

"Ugh." Viral immediately ordered to fire at the enemy Gurren Lagann. "Fire at the enemy Gurren Lagann! Fire all artillery cannons at it; do not even let the Gurren Lagann come near the ship."

"Aye-Aye Captain."

The Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann blasted all of their artillery cannon and shooting out a barrage of cannon fire directly towards the Gurren Lagann. But, this Gurren Lagann was fast. It dogged every single cannon fire from the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann. Viral looked in awe as he watched the Gurren Lagann come closer to the ship. Viral could not believe that the Gurren Lagann dogged every single shot. The Simon(Garlock) must have an incredible skill at piloting an Gunmen. He seemed even more skilled then the Simon in their universe.

Luckily, one cannon fire did hit the Gurren Lagann. A huge gust of smoke surrounded the Gurren Lagann. "Did we get him?" Viral panted as he looked into the monitor. Sadly the Gurren Lagann emerged from the gust of smoke with a giant drill on it's right hand headed straight toward the Bow of the ship. "Shit! He's headed straight toward us!"

Simon (Garlock) smiled in anticipation. "Well let's see who the Captain of that ship is eh?"

The Gurren Lagann Giga Drilled straight toward the mouth of the Bow; which looked like an face of Lagann. The Giga Drill Break Broke through the mouth of the Bow and headed straight towards the main bridge of the ship.

Nyo immediately notified Viral about the incoming Gurren Lagann heading straight toward the bridge. "Captain Viral we have a problem. The enemy Gurren Lagann is drilling it's way threw here."

Viral looked in completely shock. He could not believe the enemy Gurren Lagann was crazy enough to do that! "What on earth is going on? Damn it how much longer till he reached the bridge?"

Right when Viral said that the Gurren Lagann emerged right in front of him; breaking right into the bridge. The Gurren Lagann's drills soon vanished and the Gurren Lagann stood right in front of the whole bridge. Looking majestically and proud. It soon crossed it's arms and looked around the bridge. The Gurren Lagann was skimming through the bridge and finally noticed something that was familiar.

"Amazing. This ship is quite identical to Battle Ship Spin On." Simon(Garlock) seemingly took some interest in this. "I guess this really is an alternate world."

Viral stood almost face to face with the Gurren Lagann. Standing up tall and mighty. Viral thought to himself. "That voice...could it actually be Simon? From what I saw earlier? Could it be my imagination?"

Viral yelled over at the Gurren Lagann in furious confusion. "Hey pilot of Gurren Lagann!" He made sure to yell very loud so the pilot can hear him.

Simon(Garlock) noticed the voice and looked down upon Viral. When he looked at him; he laughed in an utmost laughter. "What have we here? Am I dreaming? Is that really you Viral?"

Viral heard what he said from the speaker coming out from the Gurren Lagann. He swiftly answered. "Yes I am Viral. Captain of the Chou-Ginga Gurren Lagann and former member of the Gurren Brigade."

"My god; you are certainly the last person to see in a universe like this."

Viral looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Ahahaha" Simon(Garlock) started to laugh. "From what I remember. You are already dead. By the hands of me!"

Viral looked bewildered by this. What did he mean? What on earth is he talking about? Viral being dead? But, he was certainly alive. Viral did not get by what he meant.

"What do you mean? Who are you?"

"So you really want to know?"

The cockpit of the Lagann head suddenly opened up. Viral finally got his answer. He finally got an confirmation. The man standing on top of the Lagann head; with his arms crossed with his trade mark cape with an Gurren Brigade symbol was no doubt, Simon the Hole digger.

Viral gulped and took a good look at him. "Are you really Simon the Hole digger?"

Simon(Garlock) grinned at him and said. "Who the hell do you think I am?"
