Jayr POV - Dragon Ball Universe, Zeno's Pace - Age 779

  After accepting my gift, the Grand Minister led me inside Zeno's Pad what greeted my sight was a dark void brightened by its glowing floor with thousands of white pilrs scattered around the pd after a brief walk, I reached Zeno's Living Area.

  Ohere, I casually greeted Zeno before I started to py some casual children's games with him, only some of those those games were in Crazy Godly Edition.

  We pyed games like Hide and Seek, Tag, Angel Angel Kai, I Spy Multiverse Edition, which is a simple game of I Spy but using all 12 Universes, Zeno Says, where everything that the person pying "Zeno" says happens on a random p in the multiverse under his trol, God of Destru and Supreme Kais, where one pys the part of the Supreme Kai creating ps all over the multiverse and the other pys the God of Destru destroying the created ps, the God of Destru wins if he destroys all the ps created while the Supreme Kai wins if he is able to maintain bance for 150 takks which is roughly one hour, Hot Sun that is like Hot Potato but with a sun that slowly turns hotter and bigger until it bees a bck hole and at that point the loser is the one holding the bck hole.

  We also pyed more mature games like Ps Chess, which is simply a game of chess using the ps, stars, asteroids, and other celestial bodies of random universes as pieces, a weird version of Jenga where instead of moving blocks, we move stars, ps, and so on without trying to destroy the bance of a sor system, Guess Who Did What, whose name is quite self-expnatory, ect 4 Star to make them merge and colpse into a Bck Holo and so on.

  Zeno did have a lot of fun pying with Patamon and I but at one point, I grew weary of making sure that Zeno didn't cause areme damage during the games, and so, I decided to take a big risk and pull off my ultimate move without knowing the impact that my aay have on the Dragon Ball Universe as a whole.

  With a heavy heart full of apprehension, I used my Spiral o to materialize a movie theater s 30 meters wide, huge loudspeakers, and a digital projector plus some fy seats.

  At the same time, I pulled out two DVDs from my Soubouory and many huge bowls full of pop and fruits of the Tree of Might that I had prepared beforehand, and then, without wasting any time, I expihat I wao show him a little bit about the many other universes out there, I even expihat the one we were about to watch would be an alternative story of a universe I personally visited and where I fought one of my stro oppo ever.

  After telling that to Zeno, the Grand Minister, and Zeno's attendants, their rea was quite differet, Zeno was obviosly very excited, the Grand Minister kept a calm, indifferent tenance, but his small smile and gleaming eyes quickly revealed that he was ied, while Zeno's attendats didn't react at all.

  At that point, I didn't waste any more time and pyed the first of the two DVDs, the legendary Teoppa Gurren Lagann The Movie: Childhood's End.

  As expected, Zeno and the Grand Minister were greatly intrigued when the movie started and narrated the tale of the fall of the Spiral races and the rise of the Spiral King and the Beastmen is reted, then they were amused when Simon and Kamina were introduced, followed by the appearance of the Gunmen and the introdu of Yoko.

  After that, they cheerfully ehe movie as the plot tinued further expanding the world and introduew character all while chug and ughting at the group antics while also admiring their fiercily burning fighting spirit.

  But then the movie tone suddenly shifted as the odds became much bigger and a big, devastating battle took pd at that point, everyone's gaze was fixed on the s watg the group struggle and Kamina's impactful st moment and the first Giga Drill Breaker.

  And then Kamina died making the Grand Minister ent that he truly was an admirable mortal and that it was a shame that he died while manly tears fell from Zeno's Attendants' eyes.

  At the same time, a frown formed on Zeno's face as he ehat he had the sudden urge to erase a universe or two, but restained himself as he tio watch the movie.

  At that point, we all watched in a somber mood as Simon struggled to move forward after Kamina's death, how the situation further deteriorated after he discovered Nia, Simon bees pletely uo activate Lagann any longer and as a result, he closed himself off from the rest of the world.

  This situation tinues until Lenome's Fenerals turuation even grimmer as they had captured Nia aed everyone else, but then, Simon the only one who didn't give up rushed out to try and save Nia, and as Kamina's st words resonate in Simon, "Believe in the Simon who believes in you!" Simon's Core Drill glows and Lagaivates.

  At that point, everyoches entranced as Simon excims about how Kamina was dead and go lived on as part of himself, how Simon vowed to dig toward heaven, even if it became his own grave because digging through means he's won.

  He excim, to the awe of Yoko, Team Dai-Gurren, the three remaining Generals, Zeno, and the others watg that he was Simon, not his Aniki, Kamina, but himself, Simon the Digger before he fully unleashed his potential aed all the Generals while Zeno, the Grand Minister, and even Zeno's Attendants cpped their hahusiastically.

  After that, the movie quickly advaoward its end, and ohe credits started to roll, aed Zeno asked if the story had already ended which made me grin before I showed him the sed DVD and replied that what we saw was only the first part, much to Zeno's joy aement.

  Shortly after I said that I didn't waste any time and uhe expet gaze of Zeno and the others, I exged the DVD and immediately started to py the seovie, Teoppa Gurren Lagann The Movie: The Lights in the Sky are Stars.

  The film begins with the Spiral King Leelling Simon and Nia that although they feel they are on the side hteousness, he is the true protector of humanity something that immediately intrigues the Grand Minister.

  After that, the se suddenly ged to show an exhausted Simon after a fierce battle with Lenome before it showed a series of fshbacks briefly narrating the events of the Battle for Teppelin, showing just how fierd brutal it was, basically pressing a couple of episodes worth of tent in a few minutes.

  Back to the present day, Lenome grabbed the seemingly unscious Simon by the head to put him ba the dirt making a worried Nia call out to Simon, who pulled the Core Drill out of Lagann and impaled it in Lenome's chest.

  Calling himself Simon the Digger, leader of Team Dai-Gurren, Simon said that anyone who bees a wall to him will have a hole puhrough them by his drill, and twisting the Core Drill he unleashed a torrent of Spiral Power through Leearing a hole through his chest.

  With his Spiral Power outstripped by someone else's, Lenome's dying words are a warning: when the apes pierce the heavens and reach outer space, the Moon will bee Hell's messenger aroy the world of the Spiral.

  Nia ran up to her father as he fell from the wrecked throne room and bidding farewell to her father, Nia vowed to head towards tomorrow.

  After that, time passes and a montage ensues showing that the Dekabutsu's remains have beos to humanity's victory, the main body being the Parliament Tower of the city being built there while stolen Gunmen were used to build the city.

  Just like that, seven years have passed sihe fall of Teppelin, and Kamina City has expanded greatly with the movie showing the peaceful life of the people of the Dai-Gurren Brigade and their adva as they unch a Gun-rocket in space.

  But that peace doesn't st long, because just as our protagonist couldn't be happier, the Anti-Spiral's face briefly appeared on the Moon, and the Gun-rocket exploded.

  Nia jolted and looked at the Moon before circuits appeared under her skin, and Simon backed away in arm, Nia then screamed in horror at what was happening.

  At Parliament Tower, Rossiu demao know how the Moon probe Gunmen could have beeroyed when the s was engulfed with a shadowy image of Nia, standing before the Moon.

  The same image appeared oV oh, even on Yoko's TV in her small teacher's home.

  Nia annouhat the Anti-Spiral had determihat, by going into outer space, humanity had reached Spiral Power danger level 2, thus activating the Humanity Annihition System.

  Nia then expio Simon that the overuse of Spiral Power would cause the death of the universe, the Spiral Nemesis before she coldly pced the bme for the Humanity Annihition System on Simon's shoulders, if humanity had stayed underground, the system would not have been triggered.

  Despite Simon's desperate protestations, Nia expihat the Moon would crash into the Earth in three weeks and that that would be the end of it.

  At this point, while Zeno and the Grand Minister were momentarily shocked by the sudden ge aion, they quickly regaiheir bearing.

  Then the Grand Minister, who immediately uood what the Anti-Spiral goal was thanks to his massive experience, ehat it was likely that the Anti-Spirals were forcefully maintaining some kind of ban their universe by destroying races that they deemed too dangerous before he chuckled and said that in the end all that destru without creation to terba would iably cause the universe to be out of band thus causing the very destru that they sought to prevent.

  While he was saying that, the movie tinued showing the Anti-Spiral attack, the battle with grave casualties, and how humanity turned against Simon as he ced under arrest to quell the riots.

  At Simon's trial, Simon was given the death senteo the uproar of the Team Dai-Gurren members and Zeno who at this point was very ied in the movie.

  Rossiu, the judge, expihat the popuce won't be satisfied unless justice is dealt with.

  At that point, Simon wondered what Kamina would have done before he was escorted to the subterranean Line Prison, where he would stay until his sentence is carried out.

  There, he is bullied by many criminals who were put away by him, and accosted by Viral for not fighting babsp;

  Simon expihat he simply ran into a situation where he was not needed anymore, where Rossiu could hahings.

  But soon the movie showed that Rossiu's pn was to simply escape with as many people as possible while leaving behind many others, Space Dai-Gun, and Arc-Gurren.

  Back at the prison, Viral and Simon notice the ongoing evacuation and that they are likely going to be left behind, but he doesn't care about it as long as humanity survives.

  Suddenly, Nia appeared and after some bad forth she decided to finish Simon off, but before she could do it, a bst from a familiar rifle shatters the orb of Anti-Spiral power making Zeno call out Yoko's name in a cheerful tone.

  After Yoko's appearania teleported away, and then Yoko broke open Simon's cell, and they agreed that only Team Dai-Gurren could figure a way out of this no-win situation.

  Simon's Core Drill was then tossed bato his hand by Kittan, who is also there with the rest of Team Dai-Gurren's Gunmen pilots at the same time Gurren Lagann and the Team Dai-Gurren Gunmen were also shown behind Yoko M Tank.

  At that point, Simon urren's seat to Viral, and Boota reunited with Yoko's cleavage before the group quickly moved to reach the Arc-Gurren that was struggling against the Anti-Spiral's forces out in spabsp;

  In the closing space between the Earth and the Moon, the Grapearl squadron was not fairing so well against the Mugann onsught and as the Moon's rate of dest was increasing the Spiral Power on the Arc-Gurren was falling because of Kamina City's citizen's fear about the battle, overall it retty teuation.

  But just as Kyo-Mugann prepared to deal a mortal blow turren, Simon's voice called for Rossiu to not give up, and a bst of Spiral Power knocked Kyo-Mugann away.

  In a burst ious Spiral Power from Gurren Lagann, thousands of smaller Mugaheroyed while the Dai-Gurren Gunmen squad dispatched and began to destroy Mugann after Mugann.

  Thanks to that the Arc-Gurren's Spiral Pan to recover with the citizens' hope, and Leeron called for Simon to bine Gurren Lagann with Arc-Gurren.

  At that point, Ku-Mugann tried to stop them by pinning Gurren Lagann with aric cage attack, while Kyo-Mugann did the same turren.

  Just as Rossiu repared to succumb, Simon said that they alulled victory from the jaws of defeat, and will keep doing just that, as many times as it takes.

  Produg a Giga Drill from the waist down, Gurren Lagann bee-liowards Arc-Gurren, dragging Kuu-Mugann along, and shortly after Gurren Lagann and Arc-Gurren bio form Arc-Gurren Lagann while Kyo-Mugann and Ku-Muganed apart, but quickly bine as well.

  Then Arc-Gurren Lagann unleashed a punch that locked it ihen delivered a space-time shattering Burst Spinning Punch so powerful that the final Mugann breaks open a hole in the space-time tinuum.

  Seeing this se made both the Grand Minister and Zeno excim before the Grand Minister ehat the group of mortals had already nearly reached a level of power that was parable to that of a God of Destru.

  The movie tinued and showed the Moon turning bck, the edges of its craters glowihen splitting into quarters, and unfolding into a goliath jet-bck Gunmen, Cathedral Lazengann.

  Another fierce battle ensured and while Arc-Gurren Lagann could hold back the massive oppe, it was weakening making the situatioense and dire until Lenome Head proposed a forced entry into Cathedral Lazengann's puter core.

  Then Lenome Head expihat the Cathedral Lazengann would e under Simon's trol if he ied Spiral Power in a port ihedral Lazengann's core.

  With an Arc-Gurren Lagann Giga Drill Break, Simon shattered most of Cathedral Lazengann's arm and flew into the core, but just inches from the core, though, he stopped dead, sinia was h in his path.

  After some tense bad forth between lovers, the core was activated, and Cathedral Lazengann's sinister look dissolved away, the Moon Gunmeuro its old orbit.

  Ihedral Lazengann's core, Simon faia, h aside the Arc-Core Drill, she told him that with the Humanity Annihition System deactivated, the Anti-Spiral themselves would e to this gaxy.

  Then Simon asked if Nia would go back to normal if the Anti-Spiral were defeated, but Nia informed him that she would be recalled to the Anti-Spiral homeworld to colte the data she'd collected on humans, the ces were infinitely close to zero.

  In response, Simon replied that if it's ly zero, it's the same as 100% to him making the Grand Minister genuinely praise his vi and willpower.

  Nia returns to normal, asking if Simon would e to save her, making him ask her back who she thinks he is, hearing that, Nia smiled, just as she began to be teleported away.

  After that, the movie moved on to show the Dai-Gurren brigade as they prepared for the final battle.

  Transports were taking the citizens of Kamina City back to Earth from what was ohedral Lazengann, now known as Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann, the Gunmen were upgraded in massive Space Gunmen, Rossiu and Simon had a heart-to-heart talk, and finally, the Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann fired off its Dimensional Anchors into imaginary space, and pulled the real Moon out from that other world, that way, the massive Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann could leave Earth without affeg it.

  After all that, Simon ordered Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann to unch, the Spiral Realm Perceptual Teleportation System activated, and Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann disappeared in a fsh of green light.

  At that point, the movie moved on to show the arrival at the Anti-Spiral Universe, the deadly trap expeg the heroes, the fierd exg battle where Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann made its appearahe ultra-dense space of the Gactic Spiral Abyss engulfing the group, Kittan noble sacrifice, Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann standing reborn strohan ever as they destroy thousands of Anti-Spirals, and then Anti-Spiral terrifying appearance which made even the casual Grand Minister frow before he locked all of Team Dai-Gurren iradimensional Labyrinth, where they would forever be locked in the hell of infinite possibility.

  After a look at the possible lives that Team Dai-Gurren may have lived, Simo his version of Kamina and thanks to him and Kittan, he woke up and pulled everyone else out of the Extradimensional Labyrinth much to the shock of Anti-Spiral who stated the impossibility of se life esg the Extradimensional Labyrinth.

  Simoed that space, time, and "multi-dimensional whatever" don't mean a thing to Team Dai-Gurren, who will do things their way and smash the Anti-Spiral's set-out path befurren Lagann is engulfed by Arc-Gurren Lagann, Arc-Gurren Lagann is engulfed by Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann.

  At the same time, each Team Dai-Gurren member was using a Lagann from the Gactic Spiral Abyss, and they all bined with Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann.

  At that point, from the ter of the gaxy, standing atop the spiral of stars like a ptform, Teoppa Gurren Lagann was born while they all yelled our iic catchphrase while Zeno watched all this with literal stars in his eyes.

  In respoo Teoppa Gurren Lagann, Anti-Spiral maed the Granzeboma to bat it on even grounds, so as to make it all the more despairing when Team Dai-Gurren loses.

  After that, Teoppa Gurren Lagann and Granzeboma begin the final battle, and Teoppa Gurren Lagann is soon forced to hide behind anaxy while Anti-Spiral expins the Anti-Spiral race's history and its determination to protect the universe.

  At the same time, Zeno, the Grand Minister, and Zeno's attendants only watch the crazy battle where the fighters casually throw around aroy gaxies with awe on their faces.

  As Anti-Spiral spoke of their great determination and tremendous sacrifices to protect the universe, and asked if Team Dai-Gurren had that same determination, he kept his relentless assault on the fallen Teoppa Gurren Lagann until it degeed into something akin to a beast tearing the Teoppa Guo pieces, all the while deriding their ck of resolve and justifying its owo termieam Dai-Gurren.

  Then holding Teoppa Gurren Lagann's head in its hand, Anti-Spiral prepared to drill it to pieces, saying that Simon's spirit was broken.

  However, Simon disagreed and produced a drill from Teoppa Lagann's forehead, just rge enough to force the Anti-Spiral's drill back.

  At this point, a spinning flower transforms into a drill-tipped staff and frees Teoppa Lagann revealing that Nia was now piloting the Teoppa Guhat saved him, Teoppa Solvernia.

  Shortly after, oer the other, all the members of the Team Super Gaxy Dai-Gurren maed their own Teoppa Gunmen pushing Granzeboma back as they once again shouted out their iic catchphrase which made Zeno shudder iement

  Infuriated at the Spiral race's persistence, Anti-Spiral admitted that they uand how the Earthlings could escape their Extradimensional Labyrinth, but decred this to be far from over.

  Grabbing a pair of gaxies and f them together, Anti-Spiral used its ultimate attack, the Infinity Big Bang Storm, an energy bst with power equal to the birth of multiple universes, a dispy of power that made the Grand Minister genuinely admit that the battle had reached a level of power that he hought possible and that he wasn't sure that even he would be able to take on such attack.

  Team Super Gaxy Dai-Gurren was in a real pinch, but Simon refused to give up.

  Lenome emerged, f Lazengann around himself, perf his Lazengann Overload move making Nia cry out, but he told her to spare her tears since he would gdly give his life to create a future for all Spiral life.

  With the final burst of Infinity Big Bang Storm, Lazengann undergoes quantum breakdown, and Lenome's st act was to vert all that energy into Spiral Power, verting it into a tremendous drill, and telling Simon to take it.

  Abs the energy with Teoppa Lagann, Simon spread this power amongst the rest of Team Super Gaxy Dai-Gurren, whiia identified as her father's will.

  Simon decided that bining was what they should do , and all of the Teoppa Gunmen merged together, f a gargantuan Kamina-like entity made of Spiral Power.

  This was... Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann.

  The appearance of the universe-sized Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann stunned not only Anti-Spiral in the movie but also the Grand Minister and Zeno's attendants while Zeno was more excited than ever.

  Meanwhile, ahan ever, Anti-Spiral formed Super Granzeboma, saying that what Simon proposed is the path to extin and demanding to know why Simon couldn't see the limitation of the Spiral races, as Super Granzeboma attempted to drill Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann.

  But Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann produced a drill of its own in response, while Simon said that the Anti-Spiral were the limited ones as they just sit in their closed-off universe, log away other life forms like they're some kind of king.

  Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann threw off its cape, and Simon used Super Teoppa Giga Drill Break making Anti-Spiral respond in kind, with the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill Break.

  The collisioweewo attacks caused the Anti-Spiral universe's gaxies to colpse inwards toward the twin Giga Drills.

  At one point, the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill broke the Super Teoppa Giga Drill, but Teoppa Gurren Lagann emerged from Super Teoppa Gurren Lagann with a Teoppa Giga Drill Break and wheeoppa Giga Drill broke, Super Gaxy Gurren Lagann emerged with a Super Gaxy Giga Drill Break when the Super Gaxy Giga Drill broke, Arc-Gurren Lagann emerged with an Arc-Giga Drill Break, when the Arc-Giga Drill broke, Gurren Lagann flew out with its Giga Drill.

  All this while, the l stages of Gurren Lagann have been fighting back the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill back to the Super Granzeboma, until the Granzeboma, set as Super Granzeboma's , was in pin view.

  Defiantly, Simon cried that his drill was the drill that creates the heavens and at that, the Anti-Spiral Giga Drill finally broke, allowing Gurren Lagann to charge at Granzeboma.

  As the Guake damage from tentacles fired from first the Granzeboma and thei-Spiral homeworld itself, Viral, in Gurren, grabs Lagann, with Simon and Nia in it, and uses a onball Attack toss Lagann toward the Anti-Spiral homeworld.

  The Anti-Spiral itself was forced to attack, its tentacles lopping off Lagann's limbs oer another, and Simon's star-shaped sungsses shattered, at that point, Lagann itself threw its pilot from the cockpit, and Simo the Anti-Spiral to deliver a punbsp;

  At that point, the fight between evolution and stagnation had degeed into a fistfight while we all watched with bathed breath.

  Determined, Simon forms a drill over his arm and yells that his drill was his soul, and then he and Anti-Spiral lu each other one more time.

  After a tense moment, it was clear that Simon had drilled through the Anti-Spiral, who asked Simon to protect the universe and in response Simon said that they obviously would, asking that the Anti-Spiral believe in humanity.

  The Anti-Spiral universe colpsed, and Arc-Gurren, Super Gaxy Dai-Gurren, and all the Laganns were deposited in their home dimension.

  Eventually, Rossiu tacts Simon, telling them how the freed Spiral races are tag them oer another with messages of joy.

  Simon and Nia in the inal Lagann are found by Team Super Gaxy Dai-Gurren in their Laganns and agree to return home.

  After that, the movie quickly advaoward its bitter-sweet ending that left Zeno and the others in tears as it showed Simon and Nia's wedding that is quickly followed by Nia dissolving and after that, Simon walking off towards the horizon and theched in silehe se after the credits.

  Shortly after the movie ended, I quickly narrated to Zeno and the others about my adventure ieoppa Gurren Lagann Universe and how my presence ged the events we saw in the movie much to Zeno's joy.

  Then I left Zeno's Pace, but not before promising to return the day to wate other iing anime and py some games.

  Like that, I spent around a month watg animes and pying games with Zeno, teag him everything he o know, needless to say, thanks to Patamon and my influence, Zeno ended up being a fellow Man of Culture, only since he is in fact the physical maion of the Dragon Ball Universe, it be said that he is, in fact, a Universe of Culture.

  Odyin
