Spiral Nemesis - The Drill that will Pierce the Heavens! (TTGL/Gamer)

I like Yugioh, but I think we should avoid it simply cause Yugioh quests seem really hard to keep going. I've never seen one last.
But we have to try. What kind of TTGL quest would this be if the voters didn't vote for an option cause the norm says it doesn't last? It's like Simon giving up when he saw the other dead spirals cause it seems that they can't win.
 
[X] [Core Drill] as helpfully pointed out by the name hovering in text above it. Also there is text above it!!
 
The "I'm not my brother! I'm me! Simon the Digger!" moment gains new implications when you consider it in the context of what negative emotions mean to a Force Sensitive.

[X] A glowing green drill that seems to reach out and touch something inside Simon. It felt like Power

Simon's mana bar would be green, and wouldn't measure how much he has so much as it's rate of increase. :D

Eventual new game plus modes were we can pick other start sets would be cool.

The Glowing Drill was Spiral Energy+ by the way
If TTGL ramped everything to 11, then Glowing Drill is the Mecha power up to 15
The Cathedral Terra would have replaced the Lazengan as the LordGenome-BossFight and if you prolong the final fight long enough you may trigger the Anti-Nemesis

Pokemon gives you your Starter (I'd have rolled randomly for each of the Types, one Basic- or Baby-Stage Pokemon with each Type and you voted which Type you wanted. Also free Pokedex). Unlike the others it is a smaller scale than the others, with LordGenome having a MegaCharizard X, Mega Blastoise and Mega Venusaur
Kamina would steal a Squirtle with matching shades. Anti-Spirals use Shadow Pokemon

Yugioh, I have a deck of custom cards to play. Replace the monsters with Mecha. The Ganmen themselves are still actual things too, but are basically Duel-Disks with variable LP totals based on the Ganmen
Combining Lagann merges LP totals and can unlock new cards permanently based on the Merge
Driving a Mecha with a Mecha is ablative shielding
Different plotline with no Anti-Spirals

The lightsaber turns Gurren Lagann battles from punching brawls to Precog-Fighting TK-using pilots in Mecha, wielding Lightsabers that change size to fit the wielder (so it's normal sized for Simon but Mecha-sized for GurrenLagann).
And yes, withstanding an attack you foresaw was going to destroy you is possible, because WHO THE HELL DOES THE FORCE THINK I AM!
Different plotline with no Anti-Spirals

Chaos-Book turns Gimmy, Darry, LordGenome and Simon into Psykers and spreads the teachings of Sorcery to everyone else.
Lazengan is a semi-biological Ganmen fallen to Nurgle. Anti-Spirals are totally Nurgleites and you can choose to follow the God of Hope and Plans Tzeentch or God of RAEG and strength Khorne


Looks like the Spiral Power has rules now. Spiral-Gamers fill the universe.
This may or may not be AU beyond Gamer/Spiral replace. it is a mystery.

Update incoming

No chance to not follow one of the Chaos Gods and be our own man? Glad we didn't choose that then.
 
Level1 - Pigmole Tower
Simon gapes, pulling his glowing goggles up from his eyes to get a better look.
There in the crushed rock chips is a tiny glowing drill. Above it, the words floating in the air declaring what it is.
Words that, somehow, he can read and understand. Never in his short life had he seen words before, much less had the chance to learn to understand them and yet as he looks they are perfectly comprehensible.

[Core Drill] it says, just hovering there in it's little box. As if that is all it needs to do.
Reaching out with a shaky hand, Simon grabs the glowing drill. And the world explodes
Simon winces, his eyes held tightly shut as emerald light escapes from behind them. The small bruises from working in a mine vanishing as his human body is changed, warped into a more suitable vessel for the Spiral.
Opening them slowly, after a few minutes, Simon notices a few adjustments. The world ever so slightly off-tilt. In the corner of his eye he sees a spiral of red and green. Both filled completely as they wrap around each other.
[Simon's Core Drill] declares the changed box above the drill.

Taking up his drill Simon tunnels back towards the village, ignoring the other miners being yelled at to tie string around his find, turning it into a necklace
"Gross, it's that digger Simon." one of the girls comments, seeing him walk by
"He gets covered in dirt every day," Her friend giggles "maybe he enjoys it."
"And he's holding something weird too. He's gross and he stinks." Every word battering the preteen Digger's esteem
"Eh! He's looking right at us."
"If your not careful, he might drill a hole in you!" The gaggle of girls walk off, leaving Simon to continue on, head down dejected.

"Walk with your head up, Simon." The larger teen says as the Gamer bumps into him
"K-Kamina?" Simon looks up
"Not Kamina! Call me Bro." Kamina declares "We're related by soul, that makes us soul-brothers! Don't worry about what those ugly chicks call you."
Snatching the drill from his hands, Kamina examines it
"This thing suits you," swinging it over his head onto Simon's neck "Your drill is your soul! Now come."
Grabbing the small child, Kamina drags his partner-in-crime to the other members of the Team Gurren

Kamina glows with charisma as he details the plans, of creating a tower of Pigmoles reaching up to the canopy and beyond!

[ ] Go along with it, Kamina brings out the best in you and you follow along with his crazy schemes to go to the 'Surface'

[ ] Spine-Interrupt! Suggest a change to the plan (May fail to speak up because Simon)
-[ ] How? (the better the objection the more likely to actually speak up)

-[X] It'd be less precarious and more subtle to just start making a small tunnel that slopes upwards from the side instead. Nothing would fall and people are less likely to notice and get mad at a digger digging than a bunch of weirdos stacking pigmoles.

"SUBTLE! Simon this is not just reaching the Surface but proving to everyone that Team Gurren can do this in style. Sneaking off to the surface is not a victory. Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens, not sneak around the ceiling like a shadow!"
"Besides...uh we kind of already tried that. When there was that earthquake. And you know I hate re-using plans."

That logic is inherently flawed. There were circumstances beyond our control which caused the plan to fail. That plan has a much higher chance of success than the pigmole tower. Plus we can still dramatically prove everyone wrong by tunneling in from the Surface once we get there.
 
The best thing about the pigmole stacking plan was that it got pretty close to succeeding. :p
