DOESN'T NEED A CUT. People should know how this works, if not, just follow other people's lead. I'm gonna set up some strategist threads at the top, for the four strategists to use if they want to, otherwise people should start their own threads.

((Mod Note: Since this has been asked a few times, just fyi, the livestock do not talk. Happy hunting!))

[Aww yeah, and so much ass kicking is to be had in this thread. SO MUCH ASSKICKING.

But it wasn't always asskicking all the time. As a back-up most of the time, there was a lot of downtime for them.

...A lot of downtime.]

...! Hey, Simon! You said this thing can combine with other machines, right?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[It does get rather dull a lot of the time, not that Simon minds so much- he's still not too keen on fighting, and less fighting means less danger for everyone involved. It's unfortunately nerve-wracking to just wait around for something to happen, though, so he's been trying to stay calm as they wait.

Gold's question is a welcome distraction.]

Eh? Um... that's what Leeron said. Lagann takes over the other mecha's systems and changes it so they can work together. It worked with Gurren, and he said it would work with a battleship back home...

[mischiefbreeder]

Heh... Then, boy, do I have an idea for you! [He glances off towards the distance.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Simon blinks, following his gaze and looking confused.]

What? There's nothing but a barn over there...

[mischiefbreeder]

It's not the barn I'm talkin' about! It's what's inside the barn!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

.....Cows? [Gold you are not making any sense.]

1/2

[mischiefbreeder]

[...No, you can't do what he wants to do with cows, Simon. Though going cow-tipping later might be fun...]

No, no... Now listen up, because I'm only sayin' this once!

[mischiefbreeder]

[He points off in the distance towards that barn now!]

There's gotta be vehicles in that barn! Tractors, trucks, anything! We're gonna hijack 'em!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Tractors... and... trucks? [BLANK LOOK. He's never seen those before, dude, he has no idea why they would want to hijack such things!]

[mischiefbreeder]

[He can sense Simon's skepticism, but he can persuade him.]

Just go with it! We can combine 'em with Gurren Lagann and increase its power!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

...I don't know if that works unless it's Ganmen. [Though it does sound like it would be useful. Yep, Gold is definitely on par with his bro when it comes to crazy ideas.]

[mischiefbreeder]

What's the worse that can happen? It doesn't work?

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true. But is it really okay to just leave? What if everyone needs our help?

[mischiefbreeder]

They can just call us back!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. Well, it's worth a shot, especially when they're just sitting around doing nothing over here. So with a nod at last, Simon turns Gurren Lagann towards the barn, jogging over there to see what it might have to offer.]

What are tractors good for?

[mischiefbreeder]

[Aww yeah, Operation Persuade Simon is a success!]

Farmers use 'em to do their agricultural work nowadays. They're pretty powerful machines, considering they can tear up the earth!

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Tear up the earth? That could work well with Gurren Lagann... [Poking around in the barn for a moment and trying not to disturb the cows at the same time, Simon reaches in and drags out a decently-sized tractor.] ...Is this it?

[mischiefbreeder]

That's it, that's it! [Aww yeah. Bigger than he thought it'd be, even.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Gurren Lagann backs off, peering down at the tractor... and does nothing.]

...Ah... I guess I could try Lagann Impact... or... maybe just the drill...

[He's only done this like twice, what if they just smash it apart? 8|a]

[mischiefbreeder]

[WE DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT COULD HAPPEN.]

...Whatever combines it with Gurren Lagann, dude.

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I've only ever combined Lagann with Gurren, though! And Leeron said that Lagann could combine with other things! I don't know how to combine something that's already combined!

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, this is Lagann! It's just Lagann combined with somethin' else! So it should totally be able to combine with more things! [Because that's totally how it works. Sentai shows have taught him this.]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[...Wh. But. No. That doesn't- no.

Simon eyes the tractor. He's pretty sure it'll just get smashed if he tries to use the drill on it. But combining it with Lagann won't really combine it with Gurren Lagann... so... what's he supposed to do with it? It's not as easy as Gold makes it out to be! And Lagann's even starting to act up on him, the gauge around the Core Drill wavering a little. Disconnecting them would be a bad idea.

What would Kamina do?]

[mischiefbreeder]

[While Simon wavers on his decision, Gold's growing more anxious.]

Come on, dude! There's no use in wondering about the "could have happened"s in life! You have to make them the "did happened"s and never regret your decision! Look, Gurren Lagann runs on willpower, right? Well, it's our will to make this thing part of our power!

1/idk

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[.....That right there? Is probably what Kamina would do. Stop thinking about it, stop wondering about it, just do it! It'll all work out somehow.

So... that's what he's going to do. Just do it. Get some Nikes

With a determined look, he jerks on Gurren Lagann's controls, the Spiral gauge returning to life and glowing brightly. A moment later a hefty-looking drill replaces the right hand, spinning like crazy and ready to go.]
