Prologue
I was twelve when the world we once knew was coming to an end. When the world completely changed with the emergence of the Kaiju. They were colossal beings, that towered even the tallest skyscrapers, who emerged from the depths of the Pacific Ocean with their only intent to wipe out humankind. Where they came from, no one knew.
It all began with an earthquake, something an individual would believe to be a natural phenomenon. However, this wasn't the case. I watched the news along with almost every being in the world as the beginning of the end took place: when the first Kaiju attacked the Golden Gate Bridge in 2013. Every day after that, for almost a week straight, the news captured every second of the beast's destruction through three cities within the Bay. It took nearly 3 tactical nukes to bring it down and although many rejoiced, it was just the start of these attacks and it was later known as K-Day or Kaiju Day.
Within the next year and a half, twice more the Kaiju continued their relentless attacks on Earth and that was when the people decided to take a stand and from henceforth, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps was born. Their sole purpose was to defend the countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean that were vulnerable to Kaiju attacks. Following their inception, came the key idea to our survival and the end to the Kaiju hopefully once and for all.
They were the Jaegers.

Author's Notes: I'm sorry if the prologue was lacking, but I hoped to create a section where I could summarize the beginning aspects of the series without having to divulge into too much detail that would take away the detail of the main story. THE NEXT CHAPTER will be the official start so think of this was the opening scene!
With the dossier, I believe it is self-explanatory and therefore needs no explanation ;)
Anywho, welcome to Within the Silence and I do hope that you stay tuned for the next chapter! Till then, please take the time to leave a review, if you can, and hopefully I can receive some constructive criticism about anything that might be bothering you or anything you wish to grant unto me.
Till then,
L.W
