Chapter 14 - Huh?
General Pov...
"What but how can there be two, i calculated two days ago that... that would happen 6 days from now unless." Herman then looked towards Newton and said, "Unless it was because-", "Because of that new kaiju." Newton said as he finished Hermans sentence. They both looked towards the commander Brian and asked, "So what is your plan commander.", Commander looked towards them and said, "We only have 4 Mark 1 jaegers, 3 Mark 2, and 3 Mark 3 jaegers plus the damaged Hightower Jaeger. At this point we can only sent two mark threes from our command center to combat them , but we need more help."
Frank quickly said, "But the policy states that only when a command center requires the support of another due to limited amount of jaegers or insufficient amount, only then will the government of that command center allow it." Commander Brian looked towards Frank and said, "I know but, lets just hope that these kaijus don't attack our continent, but i certainly would not wish that fate on another." Herman interrupted and said, "Commander pardon my intrusion but why would you think that these would attack us first."
Commander Brian looked at Herman and said, "I have a feeling that they were sent to kill this rogue kaiju, but the only location and continent that it has ever gone to is our own, however i may be wrong."
He then looked towards the radar and asked what are the categories of the two kaijus, Frank answered saying, "Both are category 4 kaijus... sir". Commander looked towards Frank and said, "~sigh~, God help us all, Mr. Smith i want both Hightower's and region ranger's pilots to be fully suited and to combat and intercept the kaiju. "Yessir, he then went to another mic and shouted saying, "This is Command center, calling Hightower and Region ranger pilots, report for duty.", Jill and Jason who were now both sleeping off from last night woke up from both the announcement and the notification they received from command center. "Jason, wake up" Jill said as she got out from her room and woke Jason up who was still sleeping, "Ok, what time is it.", he asked as he was still asleep, "It's 7 am, we need to hurry up, Commander Brian is on edge right now and i really don't want us to be ones who push him off the edge.", "Fine", Jason said as he got up
While Jill and Jason were gettin ready for the mission, the other two pilots of region ranger also prepared themselves as well. The two pilots are Micheal north, and Jessica stone, these two are new recruits who are now about to begin their first mission. "Hey, Jess", Micheal said as he looked towards Jessica, however she replied saying, "I will, but you be careful when we drift." After 10-15 minutes later, the four pilots were now fully suited and making their way into the jaeger c.o.c.kpit, they connected themselves and awaited for the drop. "This is Hightower, waiting for drop", Jason and Jill said as they were waiting, "This is Region Ranger waiting for drop", Michael and Jessica said as they were ready as well."
"Alright, This is commander Brian speaking, your orders are to intercept the two kaijus who escaped from the breach, as it seems that they are heading for the US, anyways Codenames are, Salamander and Night-wing" Commander Brian said with an indifferent tone. However, Jason who was listening was holding back the urge to laugh, "Nightwing, hahahaha, whats next Batman, hahahaha, who even comes up with these nicknames." He then looked towards Jill and saw that she was shaking her and whispered saying, "Idiot", Jason then stopped laughing and said, "Is this an open channel". Jill didn't answer but nodded her head, Jason then heard commander Brian coughing the next second, "Cough... Cough... Must i remind you Mr. Cosby that this is an open channel, and yes i make the nicknames myself."
"Yes sir, i apologize sir", Jason said as he was really scared for doing so stupid, however the pilots Michael and Jessica did not laugh but were waiting for the drop. Frank who had been working on the two Jaegers simulation looked towards the commander and said, "Ready for drop sir", "Alright Mr. Smith engage for drop". The two jaeger c.o.c.kpits then dropped at a fast pace and connected to the rest of the jaeger body, as it connected the robotic limbs came to life as well as the entire body. "Mr. Smith prepare for neural handshake", "Neural handshake ready sir", the four pilots then went into the drift as they connected their minds and melded through a bridge of memories. "Hightower, Region Ranger, roll out.", Commander Brian said as he looked towards the ocean side.
Hakaira's Pov...
As i made my way towards the breach i had already noticed that the two kaijus were now making their way towards the city. I then followed and a few minutes later or so i identified them swimming at a extremely fast pace, but i could easily catch up. However, i did not want to be noticed by them and so i kept my distance of about a mile or so, i then kept my current pace as i chased the two kaijus. As the two kaijus were reaching the shallow i noticed that there were jaegers in their way especially the damaged one from, i then stopped and remembered how these jaegers took advantage of me when i was injured and in a rush. I then thought i might as well do that to them as well, and so i laid back and awaited to see which of these jaegers or kaiju would die first.
Jills Pov...
I was now really worried after the kaijus were said that they were making their way towards us, but my main concern was that my son had a field trip and that happened to be today and so i did not know whether he had evacuated or not. But one thing i needed to make sure of is that these two kaijus do not go past a single inch of Hightowers body as the people had not finished evacuating yet, i then looked towards Jason and told him the reason for being nervous and scared. He looked at me and said, "Lets do this together.", i nodded and focused on the two kaijus and back at region ranger. It seemed that the first kaiju was a lizard that had horns on its head, whereas the second one was a a kaiju that has a fish head and bird wings that was retracted into its back.
I then told the Region rangers pilots, both Jessica and Michael the plan and how we needed to protect each others backs. They both responded by agreeing through the intercom, all of us then charged at the two kaijus by using the missiles in our arsenal. Me and Jason took on the one that looked like a salamander while the one which looked like a bird was left with Michael and Jessica. We charged the salamander by jumping on top of its back and began to attack it by using a newly installed axe into our left arm, we then hacked the shoulder but saw that it was almost impossible. We then attacked its back to try and slow it down or at least injure it.
However, the salamander kept moving without giving us the chance to properly attack it, we retracted the axe and used both of our arms to hold onto the neck. From a different perspective it looked like we were riding on a bull, a reptilian bull, we tried to hold on but it then used its tail to knock us of its back. As we fell i noticed that Michael and Jessica were having a hard time but managed to injure it, however the kaiju then extended its two wings and suddenly took flight. That was not where it ended though, as the kaiju suddenly flapped its wings it had sent numerous amounts of feathers that then penetrated Region rangers armor. "Oh no, Jason we need to help Jessica and Michael" i said with a extremely worried tone, Jason looked at me and said, "We need to hurry.".
The two of us then tried to run towards Michael and Jessica but were blocked by the salamander kaiju, it then blocked our path and stopped us from running towards Region ranger. We tried to attack it but saw that Region Ranger had lost its right arm and the kaiju was now in the air with its wing fully extended it then flew towards Region Ranger and used it to take off its head which had Jessica and Micheal inside it then turned towards the head and was about to destroy it. "Not again.", Jason said as he took out the missiles within our arsenal and fired it towards the Kaiju. Luckily it hit but that costed us as the salamander kaiju used its tail to knock us off, where as the kaiju which we attacked with missile was now falling towards the city.
I thought it was my imagination but when i looked towards the freeway there was a school bus that still had children coming out of it. "TOMMY!!", i shouted as i saw that the kaiju was about to land on top of it, Jason looked towards the freeway and saw that there was a school bus on the freeway and that the Kaiju was about to land on top of it. "Oh no, what have i done.". Jill closed her eyes as she did not want to see the person she wanted to protect was about to die while she couldn't do anything about it. However, as she opened her eyes she saw a different scene as the kaiju which was about to fall on top of all those children was now being held.
"Huh?".
