The Lagann leaped up into the air, level with the Gurren's face, and the crimson Ganmen snatched it up before flinging it even higher, then leaped up into the air after it. Within the cockpit, Simon yanked back on the control yokes, forcing them into the middle of the cockpit's sides.
He twisted them in a circle before jamming them back into place as hard as he could, and the Lagann's limbs folded into its body before the underside produced a massive drill bit. The mini-Ganmen plummeted down, straight into the Gurren's head. The drill pierced through and kept going, burrowing into the Gurren at a rapid pace.
With a confident grin beneath his crazy sunglasses, Kamina merely leaned his head to the side at the tip finally burst through the ceiling of his cockpit.
Green bars of light filled the viewscreens of both Ganmen, bathing Kamina and Simon in emerald light. The Gurren's limbs suddenly exploded outwards, becoming longer and more streamlined, one limb at a time. Twisting about, a helmet flipped out of nowhere and landed neatly on the Lagann's head, and the curved headpiece split open to reveal the center circle in the Lagann's forehead.
With powerful movements, the new machine brandished its fists and the large emblazoned plates mounted on its shoulders for everyone to see. "BROTHERLY COMBINATION..." Kamina and Simon declared simultaneously.
It crossed its arms before chambering them back slowly.
"GURREN-LAGANN!"
The combined Ganmen landed hard on its feet, crushing the ground beneath it before standing up tall, facing the Daorek-Sektor.
Dumbfounded, Alasea could only stare and whisper. "Gurren..."
"... Lagann?" Ileyna finished, equally stunned.
