By the awesome manliness of Kamina I'm back.

I hope you all are all right.

Now lets go.


Simon was shocked as he stared at her.

She smiled "What is your name my dear fellow."

Simon blinked out of his stupor.

"W-what?" He asked confused.

The girl looked at him quizzically "I am greeting a fellow living being."

'She has a weird way of talking.' Simon thought to himself.

"Hi I'm Simon." Simon put out his hand.

The girl simply looked at the hand with another questioning look.

Simon awkwardly took back his hand.

"I am Nia." The girl now identified as Nia said grinning.

Simon tried to put on a smile to but it came out as more of a grimace.

Nia looked him over for a second then reached out and touched his face.

"Hey, why are you the same as me." she said turning his head left, then right, then up then down, examining him.

"H-huh?" Simon said with a stutter 'Her hands are warm.'

"Well you aren't like any beastman I've ever seen. You have neither tail, nor scale, fang, or claw." she said looking behind him.

"Well I'm a human being...like you." Simon said.

"Like...me? You mean a human being look like me?" Nia asked.

"Well...not exactly like you, you know but, uhm, different, while still being the same thing." Simon said tripping over his words because Nia had gotten real close looking into his eyes.

"So Humans are like me but different." Nia said looking up as the clouds broke and sun shined down.

Simon's breath was caught in his throat.

The light was reflecting off her hair giving it a shining glow. Nia noticed he was looking at her and turned to him with a giggle.

Simon blushed a bit and went on saying "So I can take you to see the other guys if you want."

Nia tilted her head "What are 'guys'?"

Simon shook his head "Look I'll answer all your questions once we get back its not safe here.

"Ok." Nia said with another giggle.

"Here." Simon took off his shoes and handed them to Nia.

She took them and put them on.

"Now we need to get back to Laga-" He was interrupted by a booming echo from behind him.

Simon twirled around and saw a giant Ganman that looked like a horse but to Simon looked like he was staring down Satan himself.

"Hurry run!" Simon said taking her hand and rushing to Lagann.

"What is that Simon?" Nia asked.

"A Ganman we humans are at war with them." Simon answered while dodging a stray bullet.

"At war?" Nia Repeated.

"Ya its either them or us." Simon said "Nearly there!" he called out to Nia.

He jumped in and inserted the Core Drill.

He tried to turn it and received a small bit of power.

Lagann jumped up to leave but the Ganman punched it sending it flying into a wall.

Lagann crashed and Simon and Nia crawled out.

Simon scrounged around in Lagann and took out a giant drill.

"Nia run, I'll hold this guy off, also...if you ever make it to the Dai-Gurren tell my bro, Kamina, I'm sorry for hurting him."

Nia took his hand "Simon...Do you realy want to die? Its okay to run if you have to"

Simon growled "Bro wouldn't run he would stay and fight."

"Simon, please." Nia begged.

Simon hesitated for a second then turned and ran with her.

The Ganman had a giant missile launched and was nearing them when a bolt hit it sending it into the sky.

"No one I care about is going to die!" Yoko cried out firing at the Ganman while aboard the Ainzer.

The King Kittan Came from the same direction bashing down the Ganman.

"All right who the hell do you think I am!" Kittan said grinning as his Ganman crashed into the opposing Ganman.

The King Kittan stood up with the other Ganman on it "Hellish Head splitter." he sliced the Ganman in two blowing it up.

Yoko stood up and saw that she had saved an extra person then she was going for.

She smiled and waved at them.

Back at the Dai-Gurren everyone was waiting for the return of Simon.

"Huh, he's got himself a girl." Zoushi said scratching his chin.

Kamina was next to him and grinned "Yup, that's Simon his manliness simply attracts women to him like moths to a burning flame."

Simon, Nia, and Yoko were let off on the deck while the two other mechs went to the lower garage.

"So man who is this lovely lady." Kamina said smirking.

Simon blushed.

Nia smiled.

And Yoko growled and glowered.

"Well obviously you are preoccupied right now."

She turned to Simon and gave him a hug "See you later kiddo."

Kamina ran up to Simon "Look bro, I'm happy your alright and I'm proud of ya for giving a good fight-" Simon was gushing with pride "-but be a little more careful next time. Don't want to lose my soul brother. Now I have to go right now, I think I pissed Yoko a bit too much." Kamina said with a large grin.

Simon gave him a small one in return.

Kamina walked off to where Yoko had gone.

"You know he's doing alot better, He might be able to pilot again in about two or so days...what I wouldn't give to try that man's stamina." a creepy voice said in Simons ear.

He jumped back and saw Leeron smirking at him.

"Better be careful your little sugar puff seems to have alot of attention." Leeron said pointing to where Nia was surrounded by everyone.

"Little, big, round, Square. There are so many different types of people." Nia mumbled as they asked her questions.

"You've never seen another human before?" Someone asked.

"No, besides me and my father I have not ever seen another human." Nia replied

"So where are you from?" another asked.

"Well I do not really know father never told me and I never asked he just said that the surface was dangerous." Nia said sadly.

"Well he was right about that." Dayakka agreed "He must be getting worried."

Nia shook her head slowly with a small smile "No, I do not think so. You see I asked why I was born. I think that made my father rather angry."

"I don't see why you asking something like that would make him angry." someone said.

Rossiu was walking down the corridor to his room when he noticed that Simons door was open.

"Hmm, somethings wrong here." Simon said aloud to himself turning his Core Drill "Why doesn't this thing work anymore."

Simon had a flash of anger and kicked Lagann.

A white flash of pain went up his leg making him jump up and down holding his feet.

"You know maybe something had you distracted." Rossiu said.

"Rossiu!" Simon said straightening up "Hows it going." Simon said casually trying hard not to embarres himself by doing anything despite the pain in his foot

Rossiu smiled "Of course not."

Simon blushed a bit then looked at Rossiu again and sighed "Look Rossiu I'm sorry for snapping at you, I've just had a tough...week okay."

Rossiu held up his hands "Its alright Simon I understand. And your apology is accepted."

Rossiu turned to leave but paused for a second then turned "I think that Yoko and Kamina are in a relationship you know." he then turned back around and left.

Simon sighed "Yah, I know."

He turned back to trying to get Lagann to work but suddenly what felt like and earthquake stopped him.

Outside Dai-Gurren water was appearing around it and surrounded it.

"Whats happeni-" Leeron was cut off as he looked out from the bridge.

A wall of water surrounded the Dai-Gurren making it impossible for them to escape.

A bleeping monitor caught a bridge officer off guard "Somethings coming!"

"What is it." Leeron asked.

"I don't know but its big." the officer replied.

"Simon and Rossiu you are needed, repeat Simon and Rossiu you are needed...Send in Gurren Lagann." the loudspeakers said.

A large centipede like ship appeared with a Ganman on it.

The Ganman jumped off and glared at Dai-Gurren.

"I am Adiane of the Four Beast Generals, surrender and I'll make sure you sad pathetic existences are wiped quickly with almost no pain."


Next chapter we deal with Adiane, Guame, and the Kamina finally fights again along with Simon giving a badass speech.
