Thread: Fight the power!!!(Razgriz and I)

Simon and Irula turned to see the two women coming onto the deck of the Dai-Gurren the former ruffled the gradient hair of the young woman whilst the latter sweeped his lover into a hug as she kissed him. Honestly, she was the largest part of why Simon was able to snap out of his funk after Kamina died it was like she said, he didn't have to be his 'Bro'. He just had to be himself. Seems that way for now, Nia. They're probably scratching their head at the moment, trying to figure out how we pulled that off. Yeah, well...Simon had to give his approval, and Ron and Kittan had to help me wire the damn thing. He then gave a slight snicker, Never was any good with electronics. That was more your thing, Harbinger. God rest your soul. Irula commented mentally, his thoughts wondering back to the first woman he'd ever loved. And how she'd sacrificed herself so that he wouldn't fall to Adiane that fateful day. He was, in some small scale, hoping to make things work with Yoko. She was like his former beloved in so many ways. But it seemed like things never really clicked. Just as well though...He'd been far too unstable in the past. Put her and her comrades in danger more times than was acceptable for the sake of his bloodlust. Nearly got himself killed just as many too. Besides, he knew of her attraction to Kamina, and didn't want to insult the man's memory by trying to 'get with her'. Even seven years later, it didn't feel right trying to do anything that might jeopardize the platonic relationship he developed with her. But that was then Simon, Nia, and many others of Team Gurren finally helped him see that there was more to the future than dwelling on what was. Shaking those bothersome thoughts from his mind, he focused on what was at this moment. He was glad the trap worked nonetheless, as it had bought them some precious time to widen the gap. They had some trouble getting it to relay the proper signal at first, and now that they had to use the only means to identify friendly targets as bait, it was going to be extremely difficult to avoid friendly fire in case of future engagement. A problem that could be remedied marginally in the meantime, but would require a full replacement if they wished the same level of IDing capability. But more to the point...We're still a fair ways from Littner. But once we arrive, we can restock on ammunition. Simon then added so far, moving at night had been in their best interest. With most of their larger Gunmen destroyed, it was unlikely they would have a repeat of the hot springs incident. Irula nodded, Like Yoko mentioned, we should ready ourselves to leave soon. The first shift is about to come in. Yoko, Kittan and the rest can take their sleep if they need or want it. I'll take Gimmi, Darri and some of the other Supers, have the three of us sweep the area. And as if answering the call, a particularly burly bull humanoid emerged from the bowels of the ship, his massive form dressed in simple cloth to cover his broad chest and hide his shame. On his shoulder sat a red-furred rodent, munching on what appeared to be some kind of desert fruit from the storage areas below. His dewy yet menacing green hues peered at each of them, before giving a nod and addressing Irula, Sir, the first group has been accounted for. No signs of Beastmen activity in the immediate vicinty. We are clear to move on your command. Irula smirked and replied, Mota, you don't answer to me anymore. He then gave a nod towards Simon, He's the man in charge now. But good work on the headcount. Funny thing about time It could make things that happened a long period before appear to have happened sooner, and vice versa. Not too long, these 'Supers' - other products of Adiane's twisted mind - would have joined him among the ranks of the Beastmen had he and his now-deceased squadmates not destroyed the labs where they were churned out like clockwork and liberated the majority of them. While ultimately incapable of using Spiral Energy to its fullest, they were some of the only forces that could run their Gunmen at night, as well as operate longer without going needing to enter stasis. Thus, they were very valuable soldiers. Something the former Spiral Prince had learned after his own 'creation' or 'rebirth', depending on one's perspective. Even after the Battle of Teppelin, Irula knew some remained The question was, how many? And were they still loyal to their King? If his conditioning was anything to speak of, then it would be safe to surmise they were still under Genome's thumb. Mota nodded and replied, Of course. But there was one more thing The one named Kittan. I apologize if it seems misplaced, but I worry for him. The loss of loved ones is never easy, but if I may be so bold...I fear he might become how you used to be, Irula, if he feels too isolated. Irula let out a sigh, Kittan's tough, but I agree with you to an extent. It wasn't much of an extent, but it was fairly obvious Kittan was hurting more than he let on. Besides, the last thing anyone needed was having someone be as volatile as he used to be again. It was understandable to be that pissed off, hell Irula knew that feeling better than anyone. So full of rage and hatred one might burst from the overload. Simon seemed agreeable and added, Yoko, could I ask you to check in on Kittan in a little while? I'll stop by as well after I see Ron. Irula then slung his rifle over his back and stated, Well, I'mma round up the second shift. See if we can't sniff out any interlopers. Mota, let's go. And with that, the man and Super disappeared to travel to the Gunman deployment bay for their turn at reconnaisance.
