"...Holy sh-" Chuck cursed.
"-it" Newton finished, with one of the staff just suddenly fainted in the room. "I'm not the only one hearing this right? Please tell me I've not gone crazy."
"No you did not..." Stacker said in disbelief.
Before anyone could speak more, the skeleton grunted as it looked at the Jaegers in front of it... "Who amongst you is the leader of this... 'Defense Corp'?"
"Sir, should we establish contact?"
"..." Stacker was pondering deeply. He doesn't know what this thing is, and how there are other Jaegers constructed without anyone's knowledge. What's more, the concern is that they showed up now when they are prepared for Operation Pitfall.
"Marshal!" Rayleigh snapped his train of thought to attention. "What should we do?"
The old commander glanced around, noticing that all eyes are staring at him, no doubt listening what his next orders will be.
He relented. "Establish a connection to them, we may use them for the mission."
"Sir, you can't be serious-!" One of the personnel interjected.
"God damn, I am serious!" He snapped angrily, almost shocked that he answered that in a loud voice too. "Even I don't trust... whatever they are, what are we to do when we are left to god damn four Jaegers left, and that giant skeleton just destroyed two Category 4 Kaijus with almost no damn difficulty! I don't want to risk another fight, and waste other damn Jaegers for Operation Pitfall!"
"We need to inform this to the UN-"
"We don't have no damn time for that!" He turned to the mic. "Tell them to follow you, and head towards for the shore. I'll speak to them."
"Sir, is this a wise decision? The older brother pilot asked.
"Unfortunately... Yes."
The pilots of the Jaegers no doubt were reluctant to comply with Stacker's orders, but they are sure not to start a fight with three new possible opponents. They would seem to have the advantage, but a giant skeleton and two other mechs have some kind of a dangerous aura around them.
"...Follow us, you'll meet up with our leader." Crimson Typhoon said.
The skeleton nodded its head politely. "You have my thanks. We must make haste then."
----------------------------------------
{Permission to speak captain} Hanz said in a lowly voice, despite they are talking telepathically. The three of them were now walking towards the shore, no doubt someplace where they could talk in a... normal environment.
{Granted} He replied casually.
{Are you certain that this... Is a wise choice?}
{No doubt it is, if we are going to finish this mission quick as a day, then this is one of the ways}
{Why can't we just do it ourselves?} Jane asked, her tone curious.
{Because it would take a long ass time. And according to the movie canon, were nearing the ending of the movie. Positively that there might be some changes once we go to deep underwater. Plus, we saved the Russian and the commie Chinese!} He said cheerfully.
{It does hold... some merit}
Askad chuckled. {Dont doubt it much. Also, we need their support. It wouldn't really matter if some of them get killed in the end. Besides, we managed to add more numbers to the cause of the mission}
{That or they might get in our way through...} Jane said warily, eyeing at the twitchy Jaegers in front of them. Even with their weapons down, they are still cautious around them.
{Possible, but it matters none} His tone spoken serious and lowly, causing the two Hoppers to be surprised at the quick change of tone. {It only matters are that we do our mission. Cooperating or not, our goal is not withered because of slight mishaps}
Hanz nodded as he would as a fucking soldier, while Jane nodded with hesitation. Conflicted on the idea that they may have to kill them from stopping their mission.
As they neared the shore, he could see nearby military vehicles coming around, but only from a distance. The Jaegers stood in front of the beach, acting as a shield for the people down below. While of course Striker Eureka is ordered not to stay close near the unknown assailants for Stacker wants that mech to be on a pristine condition for Operation Pitfall.
"Is this suppose to be where we can meet with your leader?"
"We were ordered to."
"Hmmm..." The skeleton looked down, noticing the people on the beach. No doubt in disbelief that a fucking giant, and a skeleton of all things considered, is real. And that giants even exist before. "You wouldn't mind now would you?"
Before any of the Jaegers could ask what it meant, it slowly crouched down. The Jaegers suddenly went in combat stance, just to look awkwardly halfway. The skeleton simply just sat down, slowly and carefully. So that it wouldn't generate a massive wave on the shore, noticing that there are people on the shore.
Jane giggled on how the people, most likely soldiers in hand, in present just gawked at the simple action of her captain. Hanz on the other hand just sighed in amusement.
Before anyone could do anything, a convoy arrived in the scene from the beachside. Askad would have to make a guess that Stacker would meet him up here? Wonder how much surprise he has in hand when he can shrink himself to a comfortable level of a human...
That he can only theorize. But he'll do that some other time, he'll keep up this 'Ancient Warrior in the past' act.
"Well then, how do we talk to that thing from afar?" Hermann asked sarcastically.
"I can hear you just fine, human." Askad said speaking loud enough for the humans below ground to hear him without getting any ear damage. "I would take it, you are the leader of this... organization?"
"Holy..."
"How the hell can it hear...?"
"..." People were stunned by how it managed to hear from that afar, with wind blowing and a storm around. Perhaps it has some kind of hearing, even though it seemed impossible because its a giant ass fucking corpse.
The skeleton's voice was loud, yet in a volume that won't makes anyone's ears bleed from the fucking noise.
Stacker regained his composure and straightened himself. "I am. My name is Stacker, Marshal of Shatterdome."
The skeleton nodded. "I may have already introduced myself, but I will out of respect. My name is Agiwulf, Lord Hunter of Jaegers. And as you might already know, these are my companions: Black Storm and Pysker Surge."
"Pleasure to meet you." He nodded. "Forgive me if I may be frank, but I've been meaning to ask you about that, Sir Agiwulf. What do you mean 'Lord Hunter of Jaegers'?" He said suspiciously.
"You don't offend me, Marshal." The skeleton giant chuckled. "And you seem to misunderstand, I am only a defender of Earth. I do not hunt your era's warriors." It cackled softly.
"This era... Wait, do you mean you came from the past!?" He exclaimed, his statement made everyone to be surprised to the core.
"If you mean by the ways of 'time travel', no. I've come back to life in order to finish this... pest control." It said lowly. The tone enough made everyone felt a shiver behind their spine.
"I have a question!" Mako said, causing everyone to look at her.
"Mako! Stand down-!"
"It's alright, Marshal of the Shatterdome. Let her speak, I wish to know what words will be spoken from her tongue." He said politely.
Stacker looked at the giant reluctantly before giving Mako permission to speak. "Sir, I don't mean to offend you but... were you a living giant before?"
That question would have met laughter and snickers among the crowd, but seeing a real-life giant, not a robot, made their belief on such a thing to be confusing and disbelieving.
That only cause silence, it made everyone felt nervous. Mako thought that she might have offended the giant in such a way that she was about to apologize.
Askad barked out in laughter, making everyone but the Hoppers, to recoil from its reaction.
"Hahahahah, my my girl. You do have a tongue there. And no, you do not offend me in such a way." He assured the girl. "And to your question, yes. I was a giant. Now I find myself to believe that I'm somewhat resurrected as a revenant."
Murmurs rose up from the crowd.
"Sir Agiwulf, I would like to ask you something," The Marshal said. Causing the giant to lean slightly forward. The people recoiled from such movement, it also scared some easily-scared people to move several steps backward.
"Go on."
"...Why have you made an appearance just now? Why not before when the Kaijus' first appear?"
The giant made a snorting expression. It almost looked like the skeleton giant wasn't actually a skeleton at all. "Such a stupid question. Are you really that a fool, Marshal?"
The giant continued. "I have been dead for who knows how long! And I had just been resurrected by these two," He motioned behind him, Jane and Hanz. "they have informed me of what has happened on this day. And ever since our brethren had held off the masters of these beasts, do you really think we would live properly afterward? No!" His voice boomed, causing a shockwave of air to push them back.
"From what I've been told, it has been thousands of years! Possibly more than a myrialian!" The mechs beside the giant looked at it, almost worried. How they could tell, is that they held the giant back in case it might lash out to them.
"Ummm, question Sir Agiwulf?" Hermann said, almost regretfully as the giant's head loomed towards him.
"What is it?" The giant seems to look like it was calming down.
"I... I'm curious, what do you mean by a... was it the word 'myrialan' you just spoke?" The doctor said carefully, not wanting to agitate the living skeleton more.
"It means tens of thousand years in the language of the giants." Askad then relaxed his movement, leaning backward as he spoke. Causing some people to gasp in disbelief at the statement. "I would guess that such language of ours is gone I suppose?"
"Yes... We never heard such language before. I don't think there are any records of it... Wait, did you said it means tens of thousands of years?! You exist that long before!?"
"And you've fought Kaiju before!?" Rayleigh spoke out this time. It confused Askad, the former pilot of Gipsy Danger never spoke out unless it involves someone he had known or had the same interests. Or that he just reacted out of will.
"It was a destructive war against the beasts," The skeleton nodded his head as he spoke his words grimly. "But that is a story for another time... That if I were to stay on this pile of dirt until I've finished my life-oath."
"'Life-oath?' What is that?" Stacker found himself curious.
"Its simply an oath, but much more serious. A life-oath is something that you should take it until you finished it, and by finish, you will finish it no matter what it bloody takes."
"And... what is that oath?"
"...To finish this bloody war once and for all. And to find the masters of Kaiju and kill them all."
----------------------------------------
The Hub. . .
The group of certain individuals returned from their mission: to find the anomaly in the world of Game of Thrones; King's Landing and remove it from the world.
It was quite a journey, nearly taking almost a month to finish it.
But time flows differently in The Hub. From a month in the mission there, the resting place for Multiwalkers The Hub time was just only but a day.
Although the time flows in a random way. But the minimization is rather on a day or a week. And the mission time would date about a full year, to years.
Anyways, back to the group. It was the same certain people which Askad had met.
"Alright, cya boys!" James Flames waved his byes as he went towards a bar at a far corner.
"So, you two got some friendly relations with one another now?"
"Only a little..." Death White said. His breath but a hiss of cold air. It almost felt like death speaking in such coldness. "But I still don't like him..."
"Meh, you'll get used to it." Jonathan shrugged. "It's not like you cant avoid him or anything. It's most likely in the future that you will work with him again."
"True..." He sighed, releasing freezing air. "But his... personality annoys me."
"Like Fire and Ice, both hate each other." Neramo commented with a grin.
"True... But both can mingle with each other if they would like it." His voice was almost distant. Referencing a couple who also had similar abilities such as them.
"Welp, take a rest now bud!"
The Iceman nodded his head before silently walked away, with a trail of freezing air.
"So... R&R?"
The two shrugged. "Eh, why the hell not."
The trio went towards the canteen section of the Hub and got some food. Pizza, noodles, some drinks, etc.
"I'ma take a rest for now. Took too many missions that it almost made it unsatisfying..."
"Don't you mean tired?" Neramo deadpanned.
"You know what I meant!" Jon exclaimed.
"Are we going in for another mission?" Specter asked as he quietly sips in some noodles.
"Please no..." Muttered Jon.
"Nah," That made Jon sigh in relief. "we did too much in my book. I mean, we still haven't gotten our paycheck yet."
"That's what you're worried about?" Jon deadpanned.
"Aw hell nah, I'm just worried about you being a virgin ass for the past century."
"You sonofa-!" Before Jon could lunge at Neramo, Specter simply sighed.
"I would like to sit and watch you two fight each other, but can we at least talk something else other than childish reasons?" He said.
"..." That caused Jon to stop and see the logic in that. He is fucking at least 200 years old now! Since age doesn't apply in the fucking Hub, since some planes or dimensions literally don't follow the same time flow in a universe. Depends on which universe your on...
"The dude has potential, I'll give him that, but from what I saw; it looks like he has some tricks up his sleeve." Neramo said as he took a big bite on his pizza.
"He did say that he is undead, though I wonder how he died..."
"Perhaps, or perhaps not." Jon said. "We don't know if that was his real form yet back in the Akame Ga Kill world."
"50-50 chance. But I'd guess that the prick is some edge lord for all we know..."
"You know that's gonna hurt some of the fellows around right?" Jon said as he glanced around warily. True that some idiots are edge lords, some of them are fondly annoying at times, but few of those said people happen to be competent in a way.
"Like I care," Neramo huffed. "What's true is true, you can't hide it for that frigging long anyways."
"I'm curious about how Askad managed to gain the attention of Gentleman." Specter curiously said.
"Doesn't that happen to like most of the time? The lazy bastard of a god takes in people-"
"Only when he finds them competent and worthy of being reincarnated." Jon interjected.
"True, but still a prick. Even though I respect him and such."
"What? You act like an Angry Marine now?"
"Shut up, I'm not Fucking Soup. The man is angry all the time, and generally speaking; he is a literal badass."
"Yeah, even though you could beat him no sweat."
"That's cause Boss gave me a limiter!" Neramo grunted irritably.
"Because your power on time gains no bounds."
"Hey! I do what I want my powers! I can beat up fucking Broly with a single punch!"
"Oh really? Guess what? I can beat him just by touching him."
"Ah my mistake, I can win against him with just my pinkie."
"Would you two idiots stop squabbling around like children?" Specter pleaded, even though inwardly he wanted to see how they'll argue on this, witnessing every single. Fucking. Time. They stop by and rest in the Hub.
""FUCK OFF SPECTER!""
The ghost could only sigh in annoyance as he silently ate his noodles. Though he is curious to see how the mission of a certain newcomer will manage to go through.
How he know?
He asked.
Its that fucking simple boys.
----------------------------------------
Back to the Pacific Rim World. . .
With alotttt of fucking convincing, and of course some world-class bullshittery acting, Askad managed to convince Marshal and some others of Shatterdome, that they will assist them in dropping the bomb in the Breach.
There were, of course, some offers from certain doctors on trying to research samples of technology from Black Storm (Hanz) and Pysker Surge (Jane).
They asked on what weapons does Pysker Surge has, because she literally didn't carry anything at all. No weapons to be seen, the mech's too thin and doesn't appear to be strength or power base type of a Jaeger mech. Almost basically useless.
They were literally surprised when the feminine mech used her psionic powers to levitate Cherno Alpha. And the Russian mech is one of the heaviest out of the four!
That caused people to debate whether its some new advanced technology that has been kept a secret from both the public and government and the other thought it was some magic ability it pulled up.
Both ideas were logical. And since a giant ass skeleton just stated before it was living almost tens of thousands of years ago, and that Giants had existed back then, it was no laughing matter that magic exists ever since.
Inwardly, Jane smiled smugly at the faces of the ones who asked what her weapons are.
It also goes the same for Hanz, who kept a vigilant eye outside of Shatterdome, scanning the horizon like a guard.
They were questioning how in the world they were able to create a rifle that is Jaeger sized, and credits to some people, they knew that the design was almost similar to a Geweher rifle.
Black Storm told them that it's classified. The engineers were disappointing that they weren't able to gain any technical information that they would use for Shatterdome's Jaegers.
The Marshal offered the two to have some check-ups on their systems and all and checking the pilots as well. But the two refused on the offer.
They would have thought that the pilots were keeping their identities a secret or something, or that they don't like having their Jaegers checked up and ready for Operation Pitfall. But those thoughts were immediately replaced with doubts when the two said that there is no one inside them and that they stated that they are AIs operating the mechs.
And of course, fucking pure act and master art of bullshittery.
Anyways, with Cherno Alpha and Crimson Typhoon not dead and with some unexpected backup, their chances of survival on the Breach is high.
Black Storm requested another nuke but was politely declined. The idea was that to have another nuke in case the other one, which is going to be equipped on Striker Eureka, is detonated desperately or the Jaeger is dead.
Hanz would have retorted if Askad hadn't told him to stand down. The WWI soldier was willing to have another nuke, but Askad assured him that there'll be another plan set.
All was set. However, they weren't able to acquire a new, fresh Kaiju brain. To the disappointment of Newton and Stacker, the skeleton giant apologized for the inconvenience but reasoned that he hadn't known about it so its almost barely its fault.
With Hanz outside, Jane and Askad were the only ones in the Shatterdome's hanger. The black soldier would have been able to get in, but he rather stays outside. Even though Stacker assured that another wave would happen only the next two days, but you can never be too careful.
Plus, the Jaeger's deployment is slower if they are in the hanger, with one outside, they'd be able to reinforce the front.
Anyways, inside of Shattedome's Hanger...
Lots of people were eyeing the duo. Askad was sitting down, cross-legged, on a spot that was clear from things.
Jane, being shorter and smaller than Askad and Hanz. (Again, in real form, she is somewhere at the chest height of Hanz, but some meter shorter than Askad by a head)
Crowds of both workers and staff eyed on the two giants. But that didn't last long when the superiors ordered them all to continue their work. It gave out some disappointment, but it was needed. They need to repair and arm the Jaegers in order to prepare for the operation and to finish this damn war once and for all.
Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.
Askad was observing the workers, and the repairs done to the Jaegers in the bay. He was thinking about what kind of anomaly they are dealing with. Intel said that its something that involves a Gamer, but somehow that went to static. The Dark was most likely the one to affect this world.
But something the hell doesn't add the fuck up.
He had asked anything unusual other than the Kaiju pop-ups. None were even directed or related anything similar to the Dark.
His first thought that it appeared in this part of the timeline, somewhere near the part of the Breach.
"Mr skeleton sir!" A man shouted, snapping Askad from his train of thought. He looked down and saw a certain Kaiju groupie. Newton.
The bastard who betrayed humanity.
'Then again, he hadn't done it yet...' He narrowed his nonexisting brows.
"Hello, sir... uh, skeleton giant?"
"My name is Agiwulf," He gruffed plainly, almost with a hint of annoyance. "what do you wish from me, little human?"
"U-Ummm I want to ask some questions, regarding your experience with the Kaijus?"
He raised a brow, almost amused. Knowing him, he might possibly ask about the connections in Drifting into a Kaiju's mind.
"Speak."
"T-The Kaijus, is it possible that they are just... creations?"
"...You weren't informed of this were you?"
"Huh?" The doctor blinked.
Askad leaned forward, causing the human to unconsciously step back several times. It also gains some attention to the people around them, actually almost everyone who noticed a movement from the skeleton giant.
"The Kaiju are merely beasts sent by little bastards, almost the size of you humans. Precursors, as they are known."
"So you know them..." Newton mumbled in disbelief.
"You ask this question, no wonder why..." Askad said in a furious tone, making people tense up from his tone. "No wonder why you felt the same presence of the Kaiju's..."
"H-How did you-"
"SILENCE!" The giant boomed with power. Everyone in Shatterdome heard its voice. Those in the hanger fell on their backs or somewhere knocked off from their feet. Jane also looked at Askad in concern. Not knowing what's going on. "Your incompetence had led the Precursors to send in their beasts to destroy your last remaining warriors, if not for our intervention, then you're chance on survival is doomed."
"Hey! I didn't know that was going to happen!" The doctor retorted.
"You should!" He grunted before calming himself. "...I would apologize for my outburst, but I won't. Your actions almost doomed this world's chance of survival. Let alone live. Now begone, I wish to send me from this conversation."
"Captain!" Jane hovered towards him. Her voice was spoken in a graceful tone. "Why are you mad?"
'Perfect timing...'
"You have heard why." He grunted in response. "This fool has almost done a foolish action that would cost this world's life."
"But you already know why, so stop being so angry." She pleaded. "What he did was a mistake, he hadn't known the consequences in merging minds with a Beast. If he had known, then he wouldn't have done it. So please, stop being angry."
If Askad had a face right now, his frown would have become a small smile.
'...You are really pure, no matter what many people think of you.' He thought.
He turned his head back to Newton, his face both in mixed emotions. Fear, awe, disbelief, and relief.
"...Do not make another foolish action ever again human." He said. "Because if you do," He loomed his head over the cowering doctor. "I guarantee that you will experience immense pain, that you would wish that death comes for you."
"Y-Y-Yeah! I won't!" The doctor then ran away, like fire was chasing behind him.
{Captain, why do you need to do that?} Jane spoke in telepathy, knowing that there is something else that her Captain spoke angrily on the human doctor.
{In order for the stupid Uprising movie not to happen}
{You mean the sequel?}
{Yes, the damn thing was so stupid that I wish for it not to happen}
{But, would that mess the timeline?}
He snorted. {As if this is canon enough, this world's timeline is already broken the moment we showed our existence to all}
. . .
Twas the beginning of a new day.
A new day to begin Operation Pitfall.
The final assault against the Kaiju invasion once and for all.
The Marshal would have offered them a drop, but unfortunately, Black Storm and Pysker Surge don't seem to have any detachment parts that enable the Jaegers to drop and release.
And fortunately, Jane just made them remembered that by simply lifting Askad and Hanz in the air. Stacker asked if she could do that to the other Jaegers, but she reasoned that she can only hold at least 2. If more than that, her amplifiers would break from the stress. Rendering her useless afterward.
Which was, of course, a fucking lie. But it convinced him otherwise.
So Jane just used her enhanced psionic amplifiers to carry Askad and Hanz up in the air, following the Jaegers from behind.
{Huh, this really isn't that bad} Askad mused as he 'flew' through the air. {We should have done this before}
{What do you mean 'done this before'? This is our first mission together Captain!}
{Really...? Ah, shoot, I think I forgot} He joked.
{Captain, please do not joke when we are in a mission} Hanz said stoically.
{Soldier, its to lift some spirits up. We can't go on a mission with low morale, its dangerous} He replied.
{...Makes sense}
"Hey!" Striker Eureka's speakers boomed. "We're nearing our target now, get ready!"
"Alright!" Askad nodded. Even though the pilots couldn't really see the giant skeleton nod.
Nearing the drop point, Askad drew out his giant-ass rusty anchor. Hanz pulled out his rifle and attached a bayonet, also changing his mags with ammunition that would enable him to shoot underwater.
'I swear, why the hell am I hearing boss music...?' (Pacific Rim Theme)
The moment the chinooks stopped above the waters, the Jaegers then dropped, putting up a big ass splash.
Jane released her psionic hold on the two and dropped down to the waters. She, however, just descended slowly using her psionics.
Askad simply grunted at her action, letting two big ass dudes just drop down hard on, while she gets to be a frigging lady and gracefully looked like an angel that descended from the grey heavens.
"Alright, Jaegers all port sealed, ready to submerge." Striker Eureka stated, causing the rest to follow in suit.
"All ports sealed, ready to submerge."
"Ports are sealed, ready to dive in."
"Gangkou shì mìfēng de, hěn hao qù." (Ports are sealed, were good to go)
Jane and Hanz felt their ports sealed up on its own. Askad simply just went to the Jaeger's right flank, diving in.
Going 200 feet underwater, Black Storm and Pysker Surge went up to the flanks. Crimson Typhoon and Cherno Alpha getting the idea, they surrounded Striker Eureka in a circle, guarding the bomb carrier.
"Kaiju, 160 meters, 10 o'clock!" Jane notified them all, causing them to look at the direction she pointed at.
True to her word, a Kaiju appeared swimming. It was close, but not close enough for them to engage combat. It looked like it was scouting the enemy's strength.
At least Askad and the others thought so.
"Come mon! Were 600 meters from the drop!"
"Ignore them, if you have to reach the damn Breach you slow metallaloids!" Askad said before swimming ahead. "Storm, Pysker, stay with them. Protect the one carrying that contraption!"
"But sir what about-" Askad ignored her worries as he swam ahead to the Breach.
"Uhhh, is your leader gonna be ok? It's dangerous to go ahead alone there." Mako said, concerned.
Jane sighed. "I think so. He is quite older than us, so I suppose he has some experience."
"Hah! We're talking about a walking, ancient skeleton warrior from the past! I doubt that he's gonna have any trouble with fighting one of them!" Chuck said confidentially.
Almost the moment he said that a Kaiju appeared out of nowhere and knocked Cherno aside.
"ARGHHH!" The Russian pilots grunted by the force knocked, and pain. Circuits around the mech were sparking and the mech absorbed some heavy damage.
"Kaiju!"
Hanz aimed and took several shots at the Kaiju, Jane fired her psionic bolts as well. Their shots managed to hit but only a few while the rest were missed by an inch.
"Keep your guard! There might be others!" Hanz warned, making the pilots scan their surroundings.
"I don't see any-!"
"There!"
Another one appeared, however, this one appeared too slim. Almost build for speed, yet its appearance seems to be armored. Like a crocodile. The Kaiju was about to crash upon Crimson Typhoon, the mech was a bit too slow to dodge in time, but Black Storm managed to stop its charge by stabbing the motherfucker with his bayonet on its head. Blue blood was dispersed around the water.
"Go! We'll guard your rear!" The black mech shouted before skewering the Kaiju's head completely.
Jane went to fallen Jaeger and assisted it, repairing some internal damage. The pilots were at disbelief at the sights of their cockpit being fixed, but they were thankful nonetheless.
Cherno Alpha gave their thanks before noticing another Kaiju coming right at them. "Behind you!"
Jane looked just in time and unleashed a psionic blast at the lizard fucker. Stopping the Kaiju charge, she lashed out thunder from her amplifiers and fried the fucker to death.
"Ignore everything and just run straight for it!" Gipsy shouted through the comms. "You need to drop that bomb!"
"We're getting close damn it!" The Australasian mech stomped its way on the ocean floor. With Gipsy and Crimson by the sides and weapons out.
Out of nowhere, a skeleton giant crashed in front of them at the rock wall.
"Agiwulf! What happened-!"
A massive Kaiju answered. Its appearance was black as fuck (Not racist), it has 3 heads with teeth almost as sharp as a sword. Its hide was covered with a mix of stone, chunks of metal and flesh. Its limbs were as thick from Leatherback's. Its body size was almost the same as a fucking Ultralisk from SCII, but much bigger.
"What. The. Hell. Is. That..."
"Tā de jùdà..." (Its massive...) The younger chinese pilot muttered.
It was a Mega Kaiju.
"What the hell are you fools gawking about!?" Askad's voice snapped out their awe. "Go and destroy that fucking rift!"
Striker immediately just ran towards the ravine, the Kaiju seemed to notice the silver mech and went towards it.
Crimson went to its side and attacked its stomach. Its saw blades barely cutting through its tough skin armor.
The Mega Kaiju briefly roared in pain before punching delivering a punch at the red mech. The mech dodges its attack by jumping backward, but unfortunately, it took a hit. However, they were able to minimize the damage by falling backward and blocking its punch.
"GAH!"
Gipsy armed the plasma caster and fired at the Mega Kaiju. The shots barely pierced through its armor. Realizing that range weapons are useless, Gipsy activated their swords and prepared for close combat.
As the Mega Kaiju was rushing towards the tiny blue bot, a giant skeleton body slammed that big fuck, managing to stumble it. Askad quickly brought up his anchor and stabbed that sht into its gut.
And the beast roared like there's no tomorrow.
One of the heads grabbed Askad with its mouth, crashing his bones before throwing it aside. Seeing the annoyance was down, the Mega Kaiju returned its sights on the tiny blue bot.
"Oh shit!" Gipsy Danger exclaimed.
The Mega Kaiju was about to charge again but a certain green mech fell on top of the beast. Cherno Alpha wasted no time in grabbing one of the necks and ripped it apart.
1 head down, two more to go.
One of the remaining heads bit down on the green mech's arm, crushing it with force of its mouth. Before the other head could finish it off, an explosion hurt upon one of the heads.
Black Storm fired several shots before jumping down from the cliff and charged the Mega Kaiju with bayonet tactics. Puncturing through the monster's hide, the beast roared before raising its claws and swiping at the black mech.
Hanz tried to pull his rifle but feeling it stuck, he let go of his rifle and pulled out his shovel. Stabbing through the monster's claw, injuring it. But he was thrown away, destroying parts of his torso.
He is still alive but wounded. But thankfully not life-threatening due to his heavy armor being able to absorb the impact with his shock absorbers that were installed in his systems armor.
"Gipsy!" Askad turned to the blue mech. "Protect the damn your comrade, we'll deal with this monstrosity!"
The pilots in the blue mech were hesitant but reluctantly went after for Striker Eureka.
Cherno was still dealing some damage to the beast before finally getting ripped apart. The deaths of the pilots screamed in the suffocation of air, water filling into the cockpit. And finally, they were given a quick death when one of the heads pierced through the Jaeger's torso.
'Damn it, this is the anomaly? Fk, so I guess were in some alternate world here. So the Jaegers don't win in this world after all... At least we're here,' He grinned as he brandished his anchor once more. 'were gonna change that fucking ending you world cunt.'
'Well, at least the Russians lasted this long.' The beast took out Hanz's rifle which was stuck on its front body and crushed it to pieces.
"BRING IT ON YOU SEA BISCUIT!" Askad shouted.
The beast roared in response.
Both then rushed at each other.
"Captain!" Hanz struggled to get up, the impact delivered to him damaged the circuit systems that affected his legs. The tiny repair bots were repairing the damage, but him being underwater, the repairs would take longer than usual.
"Something vicious and vile is taking shape." Askad began to sang as he dodged an attack from the left, before closing in below its chest. "Hatching out of the darkness as it wakes."
He delivered an uppercut with the anchor on one of the heads before grabbing the other one and stabbing its neck with his bone edge fingers. "Going after a sweet forbidden fruit."
Slowly, he ripped the fucking head apart. "Evil has never felt so fucking good! I steal your sanity, betray your heart and let it bleed." Tossing the fucking ugly thing aside and almost just in time to see the last Mega Kaiju's head to breathe out a sonic attack. It may not damage his hearing a lot, but it threw him off from the beast quite like through a slingshot.
Askad was tired of being thrown around, he stabbed the crooked edge of the anchor, halting the force of the throw.
The skeleton giant rushed again, with the anchor raised high. The beast tried to stop the charging skeleton by lunging its arms at it, but Askad managed to dodge them.
"Burn down your paradise and drain your love!" Askad closed distance and swing with all his might, pummeling the motherfucking beast and the anchor managed to dig deep into the beast's chest. The ribs crushed, the organs are threatening to come out, the beast was now close to dying.
"FUCKING DIE!" Askad pushed his arm deep into the beast's body and swiftly grabbed the glowing, beating blue heart out.
"...That's one big arse heart." He commented before crushing it. Almost then, the Mega Kaiju collapsed. Thus, it's finally fucking dead.
"Oi!" He shouted to Hanz. "You alright there?"
"...I was very concerned that you won't be able to make it out sir." He responded, his legs were mostly repaired and entirely functional. "The monster was twice your size."
Askad chuckled. "That's almost a compliment you gave me. But in all doubts aside, I've fought bigger monsters than this little bugger." He pointed at the dead Kaiju. "Anyways, let's get a move on. There might be another one waiting for the two."
Hanz nodded and followed the Askad from behind. The tall mech soldier was in bitter emotions when he turned his sights on his ruined rifle, no doubt angry about it. But at least he has his trusty ol shovel.
A utility tool that can both kill and build.
And what a good tool that is.
They noticed Striker Eureka its blades active, the same goes to Gipsy Danger. Why? Because in front of them is an octopus Kaiju. Slattern.
"You two! Retreat! Don't let its tails hit you!" Askad shouted. "You can't take a hit on that thing!"
"What do you mean!? We can beat this fucker-!"
Slattern moved quick, too damn quick. It attacks Eureka with its tails before the Australian Jaeger could block them. Hanz braced and caught the mech, the force pushed him back, but it minimized the mech's damage at least.
"Blue!" Gipsy looked at the skeleton. "On me! Get that thing's attention! Cut up its tails if it swings at you!"
"Roger!" The blue mech tuned up its plasma caster and fired shots at the beast. Two shots hit, but the other shots missed due to the flexibility of the Kaiju when underwater. Apparently, the bastards are obviously good in this kind of environment.
The Slattern was about to rush the blue mech if not for Askad to throw his anchor at the Kaiju's face. Disorienting it, the skeleton took this chance to grapple the monster and brought the damn shit down to the ocean floor.
"Stab it!" Askad shouted, even with his empowered body that increases his strength, the Kaiju struggled to escape from the skeleton's grip. "THRUST THAT BLOODY SWORD OF YOURS INTO ITS HEAD!"
Gipsy Danger didn't need to reply as they quickly thrust the arm blade into the Kaiju's thick skull.
Another beast dead.
Askad mentally sighed in relief. With the Kaijus that were defending outside of Breach, the Jaegers could now drop the nuke into the realm of the Precursors.
The battle is done. Operation Pitfall has succeeded.
'That was the anomaly... But it was declared as a High 6-A, no way this shit would be done so easily. Unless...'
He widens his eyes at the realization. "STAND GUARD!" He shouted. "There's something wrong!"
"What? What do you mean? There's nothing on the scanners." Raleigh said while looking around.
"There is no way this would be an easy end you fool." He said annoyingly. "The Precursors don't send them like this, there is something wrong..."
Listening to the ancient warrior's words, they looked around and readied for another attack. They could only see nothing but water and darkness.
"...I don't see anything. Are you sure there's something out there?"
"Don't doubt me you human fool," He growled. "You don't know to survive a fight against these monsters for a long time."
Before the pilot could retort back, the ground suddenly exploded. The Jaegers and the Multiwalkers stood fast, weapons at ready.
"Oh. My. God..."
"What the hell is that thing...?"
"...Of all the things that would appear, why this...?" Askad mumbled under his breath.
It was a fucking Brutalisk from Starcraft II. How in the universes above all, did this thing managed to get into Pacific Rim!?
Hell, the damn fucking zerg was bigger than the 3-headed Mega Kaiju!
But something is off about the Brutalisk. Instead of its usual dark purple color scheme, it's covered in blackish ink that seems to move around its body. The substance keeps on moving around like its flesh, alive at least.
There were black tentacles that seem to wave wildly, almost out of control. And the fucker got six Kaiser blades. SIX!
'Is this zerg fucking infected with the Profound Darkness from Phantasy Star!? WHAT THE FUCK!?' He shouted in his mind while he gritted his teeth in annoyance and irritation.
The infected Brutalisk suddenly charged at the bewildered hunters. They dodged to the sides, but the Jaegers took damage from one of its wild tentacles that managed to hit Gipsy Danger when they were in process in dodging.
"GAH!"
"We took some damage, but not critical of sorts!" Rayleigh reported.
"What the hell is that thing!? Its bigger than that 3 headed fuck!" Chuck cursed as they slowly stood back up.
The Multiwalkers wasted no time and immediately went full-on melee at the fucking mega-sized Brutalisk the moment it crashed onto them.
"Drop the bomb! We got its attention to us!" Askad shouted before blocking one of its incoming mandibles.
"You won't make-!"
"DO IT YOU PUNY TINY LITTLE SHIT!" Askad roared back, making the pilots flinch at the sound of the volume. "DESTROY THE BREACH, THEN HELP US OUT ON THIS BEAST!" Askad, with the infected Brutalisk on his tail, ran away from the Jaegers along with Hanz.
The two idle Jaegers hesitated before reluctantly going towards the ravine. Striker Eureka was on proceeding on dropping the nuke into the Breach.
Meanwhile, back at the fight.
"God damn this fucker is fast!" Askad ducked just in time as a wild tentacle crashed into an ocean wall. "Die you fucked up abomination!" He swung his anchor down onto the Zerg's mandible before twisting it outwards, breaking its left kaiser blade.
The zerg roared in anger as it swiped the skeleton giant, throwing it a fair good distance away.
Hanz flanked the zerg, bashing his trusty shovel onto its skeletonized, armored hide before blocking its attack and thrown off to a nearby seamount. The zerg closed in, thrusting its kaiser blades onto Hanz, but the black mech grabbed the main kaiser blades, halting them in place. But with effort.
"Rghhhh..." Hanz grunted in struggled agony. His repair bots were rushing to fix the damages, and with the zerg's tentacles lashing wildly at his armor and parts of the exposed circuits is not helping in any way.
Before Brutalisk would finish him off, a spear made of stone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck at the Brutalisk's head, making it stumble aside.
Hanz released his breathe he never thought he was holding in, and also cause he's fucking robotic as well and looked to where the spear was thrown, with the spear angled slightly downwards, it was thrown from the cliff.
It was Jane with her amplifier outward. Crimson Typhoon seemed to take some damage, but nothing major.
"Ha- Black Storm!" Jane shouted. "Are you alright!?"
Hanz merely gave her a thumbs up before looking back at the Brutalisk. The damn beast took a spear to the head, and it wasn't enough.
"What manner of abomination are you...?" Hanz muttered before drawing out his spare bayonet.
"What kind of Kaiju is that...?" The older brother of the Crimson Typhoon said slowly, raising his weapons at ready.
"This isn't a Kaiju." Black Storm said. "Its one of nature's creatures."
The Chinese mech's head turned towards him, obviously, the pilot's reaction was of shock and disbelief.
"Observe its blood," He continued. "Instead of the usual glowing blue, acidic blood, the Kaiju have, its dark purple."
"This thing is non-Kaiju!? Impossible!"
"Yet the evidence is a fact and right in front of us." Hanz replied sarcastically. "Its armor is thick, I'm not certain of its weakness, but its faster than it looks."
The Brutalisk managed to remove and destroy the stone spear stuck in its skull before giving out a roar of anger.
"However speed is key, don't let it corner you."
"Roger." The pilot said before reporting the encounter with the Brutalisk. No doubt this would confuse the ones back in Shatterdome.
With that, Jane fired several psionic bolts at the zerg. The infected zerg shrugged the bolts off, only denting its armored hide. That caused the Brutalisk to charge at them relentlessly. Almost feral than before.
'Primal Zerg? That would explain it's strength then...' Hanz thought in narrow suspicion.
Askad intercepted with an anchor to its legs. Making it fall down to the ground. The tentacles managed to grab hold of him and held him up, with the intent of tearing him apart.
"GAHHHHHHHHHH!" He shouted in agony. 'So this is what pain feels like... Damn...'
"Captain!" Jane shouted in great concern before throwing in a psionic blast. However, it wasn't a normal psionic blast. With the amplifiers boosting, and emotions swirling around her mind, the blast was filled greater in dangerous energy.
Imagine that spirit bomb from DBZ? Yeah.
The psionic blast crashed onto the gigantic zerg, burning almost all the flesh away. The zerg roared out in pain before its head collapsed down to the ground.
And with that, the Brutalisk is dealt with. Yeah, that quick people. I don't like writing action scenes here, it's hard to deal with it. I like talking and reacting to stories like this.
Everyone in present was shocked by what has happened. Before anyone could do anything, Jane suddenly collapsed, making everyone to go close to her in concern.
"Psyker!" Hanz ran towards her, kneeling down beside her. Not risking on touching her because it might cause some damage.
"Is she alright?" Crimson Typhoon asked with concern.
"She's... temporarily offline, but alive," Hanz said with a sigh of relief. He had to play an act on being robotic. It would mean suspicion and draw questions if they knew what they are truly. "She'll be fine."
The pilot nodded his head before relaying back to command.
Askad slowly walked up towards them, his bones were visibly cracked. If one were to look close enough, the bones were slowly mending back.
"Damn that beast," Askad grunted in pain in his bones. "stupid Nature's Ascendants are annoying to deal with. Suicide if dealt alone too."
"'Nature's Ascendants'?" The brothers asked in curiosity.
"You didn't encounter them before?" He was answered with a shake of a head, no. "Then you're lucky were this many. Because those beasts are damn near hard to deal with if you are not careful."
"Then... How did Pysker Surge manage to beat that thing?" Crimson Typhoon motioned at the dead zerg corpse.
"Heh, energies from the world itself my dear boy."
Before they could ask what he meant by that, they heard voices from the other Jaegers in the comms. "We dropped the payload, ETA on the bomb reaching the Breach... about 10 minutes!"
That caused everyone, aside from the Multiwalkers, to cheer joyfully. Of course, they held back in. They'll only celebrate once the bomb has destroyed the bridge between worlds.
'And with that, the whole thing is now done.' Askad thought with relief.
Aftermath. . .
With the Breach now sealed, and the remaining Jaegers had returned. Everyone celebrated like its the end of the world. Only several hours after the mission concluded, did the news finally reached around the world.
Everyone cried, cheered, shouted, danced, out in happiness. Now that the world is free from Kaijus forever...
Only for now that is.
"So, Sir Agiwulf, what are you going to do now?" Stacker asked, with hundreds of staff, workers, and also Jaeger pilots behind him. "The world is free from Kaiju now..."
"...I would dislike saying this, but this is not the end yet, Marshal." He said bluntly.
"What...?" Along with the people murmuring at the giant's statement.
"The Precursors will soon come back, I do not know when, but once the world they've been trying to overcome has been destroyed, they will no doubt send in another attack," Askad said. The skeleton giant slowly turned around, walking towards Hanz and Jane who were waiting at a fair distance from the shore.
"Wait! If you know about this, then why can't you stay and help us fight against them!?"
The giant halted in his tracks, some humans took a step back out of instinct and gulped in anxious anticipation. The skeleton slowly turned its head towards the lone human.
"...Tell your leaders; your foolish coward leaders, that they are nothing but people who wish to seek protection against the danger. I respect you, Marshal, but your leaders? No."
Askad took a piece of a bone from his body and gently lay beside Marshal. It was no normal bone; the bone was as big of a fking head of a Kaiju. But this bone was special because it was glowing, everyone in the vicinity could feel the power surging. within.
"Use this part of my body, it will help you in defeating the Kaiju if they are to return." Askad turned around without looking back. "Humanity shall hold the line no matter what and shall prevail."
So many questions were in Stacker's head, every time he tried to speak, something held his mouth dry. No words would come out.
Jane used her amplifiers to carry both Hanz and Askad, floating away from Shatterdome, and into the skies.
"Ummm, sir what was that all about?" Jane said after a minute of silence in the breezing air.
Askad chuckled. "Humanity had won this war, but another one will rise up soon. Pacific Rim Uprising is a rather shitty sequel, but the Precursors are rather a bunch of piss-offs that need to die."
"And the need for your bone? Why did you give it to them?" Hanz firmly said.
"Ah, that's to help them out. The bone I gave them would regenerate endlessly, so basically its a powerful resource for them to use. Can be used for weapons or armor."
"So changing the concept of this 'plot' is alright?" Jane asked carefully.
"This world is already considered an Alternate Universe the moment it was interfered by anomalies, Jane." Askad said calmly. "This experience we had will also go the same to any other world's we'll be deployed in."
'So, you guys have finished?' A voice spoke suddenly in their heads. Jane and Hanz were startled to hear a voice in their heads and started to look around for the voice.
Meanwhile for Askad, being used to this kind of happenings, and knowing that familiar voice and tone everywhere, he calmly answered.
"Aye boss, mind returning us back to the Hub?"
The voice chuckled. 'In a rush for some R&R Askad?'
"Something like that, and also in need to complain what the fuck is that ranking system for this mission!?" He shouted.
'Whoa there skelly boy, calm down!' Gentleman said playfully. 'Not everything in the D.H.O is perfect from flaw.'
Askad growled in annoyance. "Just get us home damn it."
'Alright then, rest up and prep for another mission intact girl and boys!' They could all feel the presence of the voice leaving from their minds.
"Umm, who was that Captain?" Jane asked in a nervous tone, glancing around in the skies as if the voice could be seen.
"Our boss," That surprised the two Hoppers. "Yeah, I know. Shocking ain't it? And how I talk back to our boss as well."
"Wouldnt you get punished for that?" Hanz said curiously.
With that ending the conversation, the Multiwalkers took sight of a golden portal that appeared in their midst. Jane dropped the two before letting loose of her powers and letting herself fall into the portal.
After some minutes of fall down, and their bodies slowly changing back to their normal form, which felt kind of... Usual, but a comfortable feeling.
Almost without warning, they arrived at the end of the portal. Askad, knowing the antics of Gman being an ass, landed correctly. Hanz, almost sensing that they'd land from the fall, mimic Askad's posture. Jane in the other hand fell face-first on the ground.
"Hahahah! Learn to land squirt!" One of the Hoppers noticed and shouted at Jane, who was giving the face of an annoyed pout on her face.
"Shut up you meanie!" She retorted. However, it seems that the Hopper took this as a sign of weakness. Little does he know that this girl has the potential to rip continents apart.
"How the hell did you manage to get reborn as a Dimension Hopper? The boy said smugly. "I don't even think that you can last longer than-"
"Back off..." Hanz stepped in front of the smug-ass looking boy.
"Oh? And what? You'll keep on protecting this squirt here? She could be holding you and maybe your team back-"
Hanz grabbed the boy's collar and lifted up several inches off the ground. "If you don't stop now, something bad will happen to you." The soldier said ominously.
"Oooo, I'm damn scared." Despite the sweating that was intensifying on his forehead. Keeping an arrogant, tough guy bravado now. "Like you'll do something harmful to me that you'll dare to even forget what would happen at this moment."
The eyes of the soldier narrowed. "And I'll damn will..."
Askad grabbed Hanz's arm. "Stand down."
The soldier stared at the sweating, nervous boy. He let go and eased his movement. The boy would have given a smug-ass smirk if it weren't for Hanz's hand hovering at his bayonet attached to his hip. There were no words coming from the soldier, but the air around him would tell the silent words: "You're lucky this time..."
"..."
"And you," Askad turned to the boy. "If I either see or hear you do that stunt again, I'll have your shitty ass down to the Outer Planes."
The boy nodded frantically. Out of fear, it seems, coming from the expression on his face. He quickly went out of the area, with glancing pair of eyes of the ones in present eyeing the fear-stricken boy almost running out of there.
"...Thanks, captain." Jane said meekly, but nonetheless thankful. "And sorry for being troublesome to you-"
"Don't apologize that to me about that Jane," Askad said tiredly. "Its none of your fault and no one would predict that this would happen. Except if that prick is watching us right now." He muttered quietly enough for him to only hear that last part...
"Anyways, you two should go and rest. R&R I suppose, don't find any trouble after your first mission in the Dimension Hoppers alright?"
"Ok." "Yes sir."
"Good," He nodded. "Benediximus vobis duo."
