Chapter 1: The Past carves the Future

We've spent so many years of our existence, fighting the kaiju and yet we can't help but wonder…..did they really die? Scientists have reassured the public dozens of times again and again, but none of us can shake this feeling.

The U.S President along with all of the other continent's leaders had 3 secret meetings. The First was analyzing their situation and possible methods to identifying that the Kaiju, and their creators, were really gone. The first method, that was thought of was a simple demonstration and then all of the variable would be accounted for and then the perfect replica would show how much damage Gipsy Danger actually did. And that's when we realized, that all our suspicions were true, the creators of the Kaiju survived. The radius of Gipsy's sacrificial blast just wasn't enough to take out an entire planet and they probably had multiple other stations with Kaiju, like any other Military would.

The second meeting was stiff and in that meeting room the tension was like having a Jaeger in the room doing the salsa in the middle of the room. And everyone just talked around it. The second that the last surviving pilots walked in it was like the Jaeger had vanished, the former pilots of the MK 3 Jaeger: Gypsy Danger were war heroes, and they were immediately greeted by applause. Suits and ties sometimes only understand the art of cheque writing but even they can appreciate simple heroism.

"Mr. Becket and Ms. Mori, it's been a while, over a year hasn't it?" asked Former Marshal Herc Hansen as he put out his hand.

"Actually, Mr. Hansen, it's Mrs. Becket now." Mako smiled.

"Congratulations!" smiled Herc as Raleigh shook his hand and returned the smile.

"Now," said Herc as everyone got seated,"We are joined here for our final meeting, concerning our still present Kaiju problem .And today we are here to sort out our final problems before we commence operations .And currently the most pressing decision to be made is, do we still rely on the Jaegers?"

The meeting ended around 1:00pm on Saturday morning .Herc Hansen had lead the meeting and often gave insights to other possibilities as he was the most experience one there. The Japanese, Russians and Americans gave the best solutions but at the end, when everyone was tired and their voices were almost gone it was Mako who gave the deciding speech.

"Gentlemen, once, almost a year ago I lost my adopted Father, the previous Marshal, to the Kaiju but before this he gave a speech. He spoke to me and every other worker who aided in the war against the kaiju, he spoke to us not about glorious victory but about fighting for those we love and for survival .He taught us that even when have already lost and we're barely alive that nothing matters anymore beside the guns we die firing . So…..gentlemen, my father Stacker Pentecost gave this speech at the end of the war, before he died fighting in a Jaeger, and now I give you mine at the start of ours, after I've fought in mine. So let it begin, because now we start the apocalypse, their apocalypse."

"Mrs. Becket you prove a point, you have inspired me and renewed my mettle but there still remains one main factor that I'm sure bothers all of us." Said Japan's president.

Raleigh took his chance then to speak up as he stood, "Well, that's simple Mr. President. If building our own giants to fight theirs didn't work then the answer's obvious .We fight their Giants with Gods."

And that's where my story comes in. My name is Herc Hansen Jr. and I've been training for the last 2 years to be a Jaeger pilot. Right now, I don't even have a co-pilot or any drift compatible candidates but I do have one thing going for me. My Kaiju kill score: 201 drops and 201 kills.
