Episode 2

Synopsis
Now that the initial few seconds of the world are done, they realize that there are 2 more gunmen for them to contend with. The battle starts climatically...they run away. After a little running, and digging, one of the enemy gunmen get destroyed by people from Yoko's village, Ritona. This is also the first time that Simon and Kamina see a beastman, the people who pilot Gunmen and are trying to destroy the human race. The second enemy gunman retreats. The people of Ritona, one of them being a genius mechanic Leeron, drag the destroyed gunman back to the village, on the way there, they see a human skeleton and bury it. It is there that Kamina swears that he will never die a nameless nobody, everyone will know him when he is gone. They return to Yoko's home. The next morning, another 3 Gunmen attack Ritona village. The people put up a decent fight, but one of the Gunmen is just to big and strong to try and defeat, and Lagann will not activate. Then Kamina decides that he will steal and pilot the red gunman. He tries to open up the mouth but he can't. Then Simon learns that it is gunmen who cause the earthquakes that killed his parents, and he charges the enemy gunmen. He rends the mouth of the gunmen Kamina wants open and Kamina steals it from the beastman, but there is a hitch...it won't work for humans. Kamina gets slapped around, until he sees another skull on the ground, and he uses his will as a man to activate it, he then dispatches the other 2 gunmen using his "Who do you think I am kick" and the "how dare you hurt my underling punch"(Hands off my Beloved little brother punch in english dub) and finally the "this is the real man's spirit, cannonball"(Combustion of manly souls canonnbal attack) in which he throws Simon, who misses and comes back around to destroy them. The two celebrate their victory in front of a impressed Leeron,Yoko and Dayakka.

Later that night, Kamina goes to bury the skull he saw earlier and realizes (by it's bracelet and clothing) that it is actually his father who had gone to the surface years ago. Kamina begins to cry and yells out in anger
