Vilgax vacuum

Simon slammed forward on the throttle and Gurren Lagann hooked a punch right into Vilgax's stomach. And Vilgax broke through the clouds.

He impacted against the outer hull of a battlecruiser starship and crumpled the metal plating like tinfoil. None of his momentum slowed. Vilgax only ricocheted off, and the backlash rocked the entire cruiser until it scraped against the side of its ally ship thousands of feet away in space.

Below him was Battleworld. He was so far above his atmosphere that gravity had no effect, the world's curvature was clearly visible. Above him and around him were the stars. Everything within his sight belonged to Vilgax. All of those twinkling galaxies were his to rule over. The only thing that would not obey was Gurren Lagann.

It would have to be destroyed.

First he had to free himself from the vacuum of space. The lack of pressure and oxygen were negligible concerns for Vilgax, but the lack of gravity was not. He didn't have the power to fly unassisted. Or, maybe he had, and he had discarded it...? Irrelevant. What he needed was to get himself to a more advantageous tactical position, on the ground.
