WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!
I OWN NOTHING!
CH. 1
A/N: This came out of a discussion thread from the Spacebattles forum. If people like it I'll expand on it, please review or P.M. me and tell me what you think.
A flash of light followed by a low greenish glow were the first things I noticed. When my eyes adjusted, I saw I was in some large cavern where a low glow came from below. I looked around me and I saw four other people around me. Two of them were nondescript with a collection of random earth colored clothes. Though I seemed to have a slight feeling of recognition from the chubby one for some reason.
The other two were a bit more jarring, the shorter one was small and slightly built with a grey cloak and he had a pair of yellow goggles with red frames, no shirt, a pair of dark pants, and boots. He also had dark blue hair and dark eyes.
The other one was far more jarring, he was almost as tall as I was and was built like a football running back, leanly built and he looked like he was all fast twitch muscles. He wore a pair of long pants, no shirt and had a large collection of tattoos across his body. It was the ridiculous orange shades and the light blue hair that were the clincher, I was staring at Kamina and Simon of the Series of Gurren Lagann!
That left only myself. I looked down and saw that I was maybe a few years younger then my original twenty years and was back to around 18, I was still 5'7" and 190 lbs and from the look of it, I had lost a bit of the fat around my middle and muscle added to my shoulders, I wasn't ripped but I had always been solid as a rock, and now I was in better shape then I had been for a while.
That was when the memories hit me. My name was Tom, and I was the older cousin of the chubby kid Mikk. His mother had asked me to keep an eye one him after a cave in involving the Gurren brigade had almost gotten Mikk killed. I had agreed and so had gotten involved with them on their mole-pig venture.
Other memories showed that I was an only child and had no real other ties to the villagers other than my cousin's family. I was also part of the clearing crew, Simon and the drill-boys would start the tunnels and when real expansion was needed, me and the larger men of the village came in with hammers and picks to widen them out. I was one of the better hammerers and my hands, arms, and shoulders showed for it.
It was then that the big village chief, one of the only guys taller than either me or Kamina, and one of the few heavier than me, turned his attention to me,"And you Tom! You're a damn grown man! You should have stopped these idiots, not egged them on!"
To be honest the memories showed that this body's former occupant had been listless and bored for sometime now, but the fiasco with the mole-pigs had been the most fun he'd had in a long time. He didn't believe Kamina about the surface however, I did, and that decided what I said in reply. "Sorry Chief, to be honest, I think 'ole Kamina boy here is right! I think there really might be a surface the way he goes on about it and I think I'd like to see it for myself."
Whatever the village chief was expecting, it certainly wasn't that. His face wrenched up in anger and he snarled, "Dammit Kamina! Your crazy's infectious! I'm having you both locked up, hopefully that'll knock the crazy out of you (pointing at me) and keep your (pointing at Kamina) crazy from spreading!
The others behind the grabbed me and Kamina by our bound arms and dragged us off to a holding cell for the next few days. I turned to Kamina and said, "You know I really do believe ya man. It might be a while before we see the surface with ole jumbo there though." I got a whack to the head for my troubles but Kamina said,"Don't so sure 'bout that, you can't keep a Gurren brigade member down, and definitely not its manly leader!" Another whack was the result. It was about then that the earth started to rumble.
So Good? Bad? Needs to be burned in eternal hell-fire?
