The magical girls along with Kamina couldn't believe what they were seeing. A giant ball of death was about to fall on them only for it to be destroyed by someone else. The strange star-shaped object moved closer towards them, until they finally got a better look at it.
It was another mecha. Its armor was colored a bright golden yellow. Its head appeared to be split open revealing a cannon of some sorts inside. In its right hand it brandished a large red spiral lance. In its left hand was a large red rectangular shield of some sort. Unlike Gurren Lagann, this mecha only had one face, and it appeared to be smiling an angry grin at them. Homura recognized it from Kamina's memories, but something seemed different about it than before, then a face appeared on Gurren and Lagann's screens. It was a man, who Homura also recognized from Kamina's memories. He had spiky blonde hair, and was wearing a strange uniform with a star on it. He then spoke up.
"I thought for a second that I survived back there, but now that you're here, I guess I really kicked the bucket didn't I?" The man spoke. Kamina looked at the man with awe.
"I don't believe it…you're…you're….who are you again?" Kamina asked. The man suddenly became enraged.
"IT'S KITTAN OF THE BLACK SIBLINGS YOU JERK! I know it's been seven years but we sure as hell didn't forget you in that time!" He yelled as the mecha shook around in anger. Then it suddenly came back to Kamina. But something about what he said mystified him as he grinned.
"Oh...! Now it's coming back to me!" Kamina replied. "But I hate to break it to you pal but we ain't dead yet! But what the hell were you talking about when you said seven years?" Kamina asked. Kittan was about to respond, when Walpurgisnacht arose from a distance. Kittan turned around in his mecha.
"I'll explain later ya bozo! Right now I've got a bitch to take down with the fearsome SPACE KING KITTAN!" He shouted as he flew towards Walpurgisnacht at an incredible speed. The familiars reappeared in the sky and charged towards his mecha, however they were unmatched compared to his speed. He waved his lance in front of them, slashing through each and every one of them. "COMIN THROUGH! GET OUTTA THE WAY!" He screamed as the other magical girls looked at him in awe.
"T-this is crazy!" Sayaka shouted. "He doesn't have any idea how strong Walpurgisnacht is!"
"Kamina-san, do you know the person inside that mecha?" Mami asked, also stunned by how fast the golden star-shaped mecha was able to move in the air. Kamina chuckled.
"Just another member of team Dai-Gurren!" He responded. "But I don't exactly remember his gunman looking like THAT." Kamina added, whistling at Kittan's performance in the dark sky. His mecha, the Space King Kittan, flew through the sky at an incredible speed despite its bulky design. Its arms and legs had folded the mecha into a compact, diamond-like shape as it flew. It ended up right in front of Walpurgisnacht's face as it unfolded.
"Chew on this!" Kittan cried out. "Space SUNBEAM!" The King Kittan pointed its massive lance at Walpurgisnacht and fired another blue laser at it. An explosion occurred as it struck Walpurgisnacht, sending the witch flying away again. The witch then started to fly towards its real target, the shelter that housed the citizens. Unfortunately for it, Kittan wasn't finished with it yet. He flew back towards Walpurgisnacht. "What's the matter? Can't swat down a bee?" Kittan shouted as he rammed into Walpurgisnacht again, jamming his lance into it. The massive witch only laughed again as it threw a storm of dilapidated city rubble towards the golden mecha. Kittan simply turned its hands into small spiral cannons and fired many mini blue lasers on the rubble, causing them to be trapped within barriers that exploded. "KIIIING KITANNNN…STINGER!" Kittan shouted as he went back on the offense and rammed into Walpurgisnacht over and over again on different parts of its body.
Homura couldn't believe her eyes. This newcomer was holding his own against Walpurgisnacht all by himself! But as she considered the details, it started to make sense to her.
"Holy crap!" Kyoko shouted, impressed at the piloting skills of Kittan. "He's actually getting to it!"
"I see now." Homura added. "We've been forced to fight Walpurgisnacht on the ground while it continued to fight in the air. It's been keeping us at a distance from it because it knows it can't fight in close range combat!" As if on cue, the instant she said that is when Walpurgisnacht started to ignore Kittan once again and charge towards them, throwing more buildings towards them. Kittan saw this and charged over towards the group.
"Move it move it move it MAKE A HOLE!" He shouted as he jumped in front of them blasted the building with another laser from his lance. He then proceeded to shield the group from the falling rubble with his shield. The mecha turned around and looked at the group with its mean-looking face. "You guys need to get your butts towards that shelter over there!" He yelled at the magical girls as he pointed his lance in the direction of the shelter. "If what that pink-haired kid there said was true, then you guys aren't exactly in a good position to fight right now!" Kamina slammed his fist on the wall inside Gurren.
"Like hell we're running away!" He shot back. "Just who the hell do you think I am?! Gurren Lagann's gotta be the one taking that thing down!"
"Are you out of your mind again?!" Kittan shouted back through his screen as he flew back towards Walpurgisnacht. "Gurren Lagann doesn't look exactly in top shape right now, plus you're using the outdated version!" Kittan pointed out how damaged Gurren Lagann's armor looked. Any more could end up breaking it apart.
"The hell do you mean by outdated?!"
"I mean, that you don't have the wings bozo! Simon was able to hijack an enemy gunman with wings to get Gurren Lagann to fly!" Kittan replied as he slashed his way through more familiars. Kamina looked shocked at that. Simon actually was able to do that? He had a lot of questions for Kittan once this was all over. But right now, the thought of Gurren Lagann flying in the sky intrigued him. "Look, let me at least hold this thing off. You sit here and charge up your Spiral power!" Now Kamina was really confused.
"What the hell is Spiral power?!" Kamina shouted. If Kittan wasn't too busy dodging the familiars, he would have face-palmed at that. Explaining the power of the Spiral to Kamina was going to be easier said than done. For now he was going to have to stick to his language.
"F-Fighting spirit!" Kittan yelled. "Focus all of your fighting spirit into Gurren Lagann! That should fix it up for now! Remember the first Dai-Gunzan fight?!" Kittan continued to yell as he dodged more of Walpurgisnacht's attacks. Kamina thought back to the fight, and remembered. Gurren Lagann's leg was heavily damaged, but it repaired itself the more fighting Spirit he had. If what Kittan was saying was true, the team might just be able to make a comeback!
"All right team! Here's what we gotta do! Focus you're manly fighting spirit all on Gurren Lagann!" Kamina shouted. Homura and the other magical girls only looked confused at what he meant.
"Kamina-san!" Mami cried. "We can't use much magic! If we used more it could be dangerous!"
"Dumbass!" Kamina shot back. "I'm talking about the FIGHTING SPIRIT! Think of your will, the reason we have to win, and focus it on Gurren Lagann!" Mami at first didn't understand what he meant at first as she looked at Sayaka and Kyoko, who also looked confused. She looked at her Soul Gem as it sparked the green light once again. She then remembered Kamina's words from back inside the witch that almost took her life. "Believe in the me that believes in you!" She put her faith in him, and focused her will to live on the giant mecha.
"Sayaka-san, Kyoko-san, do what he says." Mami replied sternly. "Focus your will and your reason to live on Gurren Lagann. Kyoko was about to retort back with some remark about how it wouldn't do any good, but she realized that they were at a point where any advice would be helpful. She looked to Sayaka and nodded and then focused her fighting spirit on Gurren Lagann along with Sayaka.
"If this moron could help save Sayaka, then I'm sure whatever half-assed plan he's got could help in some way." She thought to herself.
"You did WHAT?!" The Anti-Spiral roared at the Incubators.
"My, it seems something unexpected has occurred." The Incubators remarked. "The new Spiral life-form didn't have as much potential as the other one, but it seems that piloting one of those flying "gunman" takes the playing field to a new level." The Anti-Spiral's expression turned furious.
"You made the contract with the Spiral life-form even knowing what you know?!" It roared. The Incubators looked at them directly in the eye.
"Of course. We had no other choice." The Incubators bluntly replied. "We admit it is one of our faults as a species. Any being with magical potential that asks us for a wish, it must be granted." The Anti-Spiral's eyes became white lines as this new information sunk into its mind.
"So you are forced to grant whatever your livestock wishes no matter what they wish for?"
"Yes. Even if that wish were to rewrite the universe itself, or even if it would destroy our race entirely, we must grant whatever wish a potential magical girl has." The Anti-Spiral clenched its dark fists. Once it considered the Incubators to be an intelligent species adamant on protecting its own universe through whatever means necessary. But much like that foolish irregular back in his universe, it was only natural the same would happen to the Incubators should they be exposed to the power of the Spiral. Its train of thought was interrupted as the Incubators spoke again. "But it's not something for you to be concerned about. The new Spiral life-form may have caught Walpurgisnacht off-guard right there, but it is already starting to find an opening."
"Damn you! I'm the one you're supposed to be fighting!" Kittan yelled. As the magical girls continued to focus their Spiral power on Gurren Lagann, Walpurgisnacht started focusing its attacks on them instead of him! Because of this, Kittan had to focus on defending them at all costs! As building after building was thrown at them, Kittan responded by firing more Space Sunbeams at them. But the more it did that, the more familiars came to land some hits on him! "FACE ME LIKE A MAN YOU COWARD!" Kittan screeched at the witch. It responded by throwing more rubble at the group which Kittan intercepted with another laser. Unfortunately, that's when some familiars caught him off-guard and attacked.
Homura noticed Walpurgisnacht's change in tactics as the Space King Kittan was starting to take damage while she was focusing. The Spiral gauge inside Lagann was filling at a slow, but steady rate. She assumed that was how much power the mecha had right now. She noticed a strange green light emanating from her Soul Gem as she focused her desire to save Madoka towards the mecha. But even still, it pained her in the back of her mind to see another person suffering for her own sake. But if he fell in battle now… Her thoughts went interrupted when Kamina showed up on Lagann's screen.
"Homura! What's the hold up?! You've got a bigger fighting spirit than that!" Kamina shouted.
"How can you be so calm knowing that your friend is out there taking damage and we're all depending on him?" Homura shot back. Kamina scoffed as he put on his glasses.
"Peh! That bozo knows what he's doing! But that's not what we need to worry about right now! Isn't kicking this things ass and saving Madoka you're goal?" Kamina retorted. Homura just gave him a dumbfounded look.
"But we can't just keep sitting here! I don't know how much more your friend can take! If he falls, it's over!" Homura shot back as the Spiral gauge filled up slower.
"Dumbass! That moron's not gonna be taken down!" Kamina yelled back as Kittan shot down another building headed towards them. "Don't let yourself get pulled back by what you think can happen! You need to focus on the one thing that you're trying to accomplish and dig forward towards it no matter what the odds are!"
"He's right transfer student!" Sayaka shouted, much to Homura's surprise. The expression on her face was of pure determination like last night. She had seemed like a different person now. "I almost lost my soul to my own hatred and despair! I now know that I can accomplish anything if I set my mind to it and keep on moving forward!" The green light in her Soul Gem shone brighter as they shouted that.
"I hate to admit it, but she and the moron inside that mecha right now make a great point!" Kyoko added. "There are a lot of things on this freaking planet that piss me off, but that's all the more reason to run full steam ahead!" A green light also shined brighter in Kyoko's Soul Gem as well.
"Yes. For all that Kamina-san has done for us, and for the second chance his friend is giving, we must no longer doubt ourselves!" Mami added as her Soul gem shined a bright green light as well.
Homura watched as the Spiral gauge inside Lagann increased even faster as they said those words. It was awe-inducing. Those three were all doomed souls. In every timeline she had gone through, they had all fallen at one point before or during the final battle. But here they were now, each with a renewed sense for themselves, all because of one man's words. She then focused on her one true goal and forgot about everything else.
"I will definitely…save you." Homura thought as she tuned out all her senses as she focused. "I've spent a countless amount of time, lost and alone, trying to find a way to save Madoka." The Spiral gauge inside Lagann increased even faster as it filled up all the way. Even as the King Kittan ended up getting knocked back after stopping another one of the mega witch's attacks, she still continued to focus, until one thought kept screaming in her mind.
Walpurgisnacht. IT ENDS NOW!
Homura then screamed as her desire to save Madoka shot through her mind as Gurren Lagann once again shined a brilliant green light. Walpurgisnacht then obtained another massive amount of rubble while the Space King Kittan was still recovering from the last attack. This time however, it wasted no time as it threw the giant ball of death immediately at them as Gurren Lagann shined its brilliant green light. It landed on them as a massive explosion engulfed the area. Madoka, who was still watching the scene through Kyubey back at the shelter, looked on in absolute horror as it looked like all her friends had died right then and there.
"Do you see now Madoka?" Kyubey asked. "Walpurgisnacht was simply too strong a witch to take down unprepared. If you do not make the contract now, then this entire city will then fall. You're now the only person who can fini-what?" Kyubey interrupted himself as he saw familiar figures as the explosion subsided. The small Incubator was having a hard time comprehending what was happening when it realized what those figures were. "Impossible! Spiral power was capable of this?!" It thought.
Team Dai-Gurren emerged from the blast unscathed. Gurren Lagann was shielding its arms as the bright light subsided.
"Stand your ground you bozos!" Kamina shouted. "It's time to finish this now! There's nothing to be afraid of at this point!"
"You got that right!" Kittan continued. "There sure as hell ain't a reason to be scared! Not with all these comrades around!" He put his fingers to his forehead as a salute. "Black Siblings Eldest Brother! Kittan!"
"Kyoko Sakura!" Kyoko cried out.
"Sayaka Miki!" Sayaka cried as well.
"Mami Tomoe." Mami calmly replied smiling.
"Homura Akemi." Homura added, this time genuinely smiling. The time had finally come.
"And the Mighty Kamina!" Kamina finished as he adjusted his glasses.
"JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!" They all screamed. Walpurgisnacht stopped its laughter and then screamed as it continued to throw rubble after rubble at them. "FINISHING MOVE!"
"GIGA…." Kamina yelled.
"DRILL….." Homura cried out as well.
"BREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK! DAI-GURREN DAN SPECIAL!" They all shouted as they all shot towards Walpurgisnacht covered in different-colored streaks of light. The light covered Gurren Lagann's giant drill as it shot forward. The buildings that Walpurgisnacht threw at it were decimated as they kept smashing through them. The familiars were turned into nothing more than little sparkles of dust. When they finally reached Walpurgisnacht, they split off from Gurren Lagann and shot through the giant witch on many different parts of its body. Walpurgisnacht didn't even have time to comprehend what just happened as it found five massive holes in its body until it could no longer think, hate, or cause more destruction. It exploded in a massive amount of light as Team Dai-Gurren shot through it. As Homura realized what had just happened, she smiled. It was over, finally, it was over.
Walpurgisnacht was destroyed.
Walpurgisnacht is now dead! Phew! Man this one was hard to write as well. I hope I wasn't too abrupt with it, but I think I got it done nicely. But it's over folks! The last witch is dead without Madoka contracting! One more chapter to go and wrap everything up neatly, and then it's over! It's been a fun ride folks!
Final Chapter: My Prayer! My Wish!
