...Lagann and I found Nia...

...

She... she's turned into something else... claiming to be some "messenger" of the "Anti-Spiral race..." She's not herself. She was trying to DESTROY people, she had her partner fight US...

...

KITTAN. VIRAL.

I think we need to have a discussion.

NOW.

... What?!

That... that doesn't make any sense...! Those things aren't even here...!

[spacekingkittan.livejournal.com]

...Aw shit.

I should have seen this coming.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Talk.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

You mean that Nia would turn into something trying to kill all of us?

[viralbeastman.livejournal.com]

Kittan probably knows more... dammit. I wanted to keep you from having to deal with things that hadn't happened yet...!

...

Nia was... hell, I don't know, fully. But she had something inside her that turned her into one of them, and they had her be their messenger.

All of you humans... the power you wielded, was a power they feared. When the one millionth human was born, they began the effort to exteriminate your people. The very thing Lordgenome was always trying to prevent. Their plan was to drop the moon on Earth, but you and I stopped it...

We were all set to go rescue Nia and bring the fight to those bastards. Then I got pulled into this world.

[spacekingkittan.livejournal.com]

...Pretty much, yeah. The Anti-Spirals are the reason Lordgenome kept the humans underground. In my world, it was when the human population reached one million.

Here...well, we're all pretty powerful on our own. And that's enough of a threat to the Anti-Spirals that Nia must have been...activated, for lack of a better word.

I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. But, I don't even know what happened at the end.

[mazin-power.livejournal.com]

No way... you're kidding...!

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...dammit to hell.

...

It all fits with what Lordgenome told us... the BITS of things you've said up until now... Everything Thymilph said...

Besides that one very important detail...

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...

I know it may be my own fault, in a way... I didn't pursue you or Viral for what you knew, thinking that I may be better off not worrying about the future...

But for it to happen like THIS, for Nia to turn into something, like... like...

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...

She left her partner behind... He's reverted into his Baby II stage...

...for the moment, could I... ask you to look after him?

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

You think I would JOKE about something like this, Kabuto?

[spacekingkittan.livejournal.com]

And I probably wouldn't have told you anyway.

Don't worry. She's still in there. You just have to draw her out.

[mazin-power.livejournal.com]

No... no, you wouldn't...

Sorry, Simon, guess I didn't want to think about something like that happening...

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...

I guess, if I were in the same position... I can't say I'd do much different, eh?

...I just don't know how. When I spoke to her, it was like... there was hardly any hesitation in her actions, her words, and it was... it wasn't like her in the slightest.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

No, it's fine. I just... need to figure out what it is I need to do here, is all.

[spacekingkittan.livejournal.com]

The Anti-Spirals don't have as much control over her as they would like to think they do. I don't know...how, exactly, you did it in my world, but your words are the only ones that will get through to her.

[mazin-power.livejournal.com]

What you need to do? You already know what to do! We're going to find Nia, and we're going to save her!

We'll smash that Anti-Spiral-whatis and bring out the Nia we all know! If it means having to hurt her to do so, then so be it!

We're the goddamn Dai-Gurren Brigade! Our drills of reason'll break through what is keeping Nia like that, NO MATTER WHAT!

You have my and Hagurumon's support! Our Mazin Power's with you 100 Percent!

[viralbeastman.livejournal.com]

...

Simon. There was one thing your other self found out before I got here.

She kept confronting you in order to draw you out. To make you WANT to save her. She kept taunting specifically to reach out to you.

And earlier... you'd proposed to her. She kept the ring you gave her, even as an Anti-Spiral...

[organic-scars.livejournal.com]

... I'm not good at taking care of kids...

... but. For Nia, I will.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...

I had been planning, before I was pulled into this world, to...

...then, things happened, I never...

...

But, I think I understand, Viral. There's still a chance, then...

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

They didn't back at that fight, but, heh... I guess that just means I have to keep trying, eh?

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

I trust you, Blackarachnia. NIA trusted... trusts you. Just...

Just until we get her back.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...!

...

I knew there was a good reason you joined up with us.

Thanks.

[spacekingkittan.livejournal.com]

Of course! You just wouldn't be you if you gave up after only trying once!

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Damn right.

I won't stop UNTIL I break through to her again, no matter what.

If what Viral says is right, though... Nia will find us.

...we still have to keep on with our mission.

[viralbeastman.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about?! There's always a chance! Who the hell do you think you are, anyway?!

Besides, if what you said about her evolving DORUmon is true... then she can't be on the side of those things. Not completely.

[organic-scars.livejournal.com]

Just don't leave me out of the fight, Simon.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't dream of it.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Well, I sure as hell can't argue with you there.

...but, she did say something... something about this world running out of control with the power of evolution...

She even evolved DORUmon to Perfect for the first time...

[viralbeastman.livejournal.com]

The Anti-Spirals were all about being anti-evolution. The power you wielded with the Core Drill... that was what they feared.

It's a power I could never tap into, being a Beastman.

Considering how powerful digimon are when they evolve... they most likely saw this world as the exact same kind of danger.

[indarkestknight.livejournal.com]

Simon. The last several weeks, you and I have had our differences.

But... the only thing I have ever loved is a ship. My title. My sword. The love of adventure. Honor.

I have never known the kind of love you have.

... But you are my friend. I will help you fight for it.

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

Which could easily mean...

Nia wasn't pulled here by Yggdrasil...

[simonthedigger.livejournal.com]

...Meta Knight...

...thank you. I really do, honestly, appreciate that.

And glad we have someone with that honor to fight by our side.

[viralbeastman.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking. She was unknowingly a plant.

[ablazingsoul.livejournal.com]

Ha! Now that's what I'd expect from a member of the Dai-Gurren Brigade!

[istillhaveamin.livejournal.com]

She...what?

...



...

I can't just stand by this time, not again... If there's anything I can do to help...

[tsubasanoknight.livejournal.com]

;-;

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL REPRESENTATION OF LOVE AND BROTHERHOOD!

Simon! You have my sword, my spear, and my magic as well!
