Let me say right off the bat that I was a fan of the Pacific Rim movie. Not only did they make a movie of giant robots fighting giant monsters, but they also made it where the mechanics were not completely out of line. This is why I wanted to make my own fanfic of this movie. This will be done as a sequel to the original movie. There will be more Jaegers, more Kaiju, and more battles to come!
But first, the prologue.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except my Jaegers.
Pacific Rim: New Generation
Prologue: Man, Machines, and Monsters
Humanity always thought that alien life would come from the stars. Instead, they came from below the depths. Through a crack in dimensions found in the Challenger Deep. The Breach. These monsters, the Kaiju, came through with one purpose; to destroy mankind and make room for their creators to colonize our world. The first Kaiju made land in San Francisco in 2013. The Kaiju was finally destroyed, along with the city. We mourned, we remembered, we moved on. Then, the second Kaiju attacked Manila. Then the third attacked. Then the fourth. And that's when we learned. This wasn't going to stop. Humanity needed a new weapon.
To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. Metal giants powered by humans. The Jaeger Program was born. But initial tests proved that a single human couldn't handle the neural overload. A two-man system was established; one for the right hemisphere, one for the left. Splitting the load. And with this in place, the Jaegers were ready. Humanity started fighting back. We started winning. We got good at winning. Pilots became rock stars. Kaiju attacks became weather disasters. We got comfortable.
Then, everything changed.
The Kaiju began figuring out our tactics. We were losing Jaegers faster than we could build them. The wreckage used in a desperate bid done by desperate politicians to build a wall to keep the Kaiju out. Not even that could last against the beasts. Our resources, and our hopes, began to dwindle. Finally, at the brink of extinction, the few Jaegers that remained were launched on a mission to drop a nuclear bomb into the Breach itself. They fought against the strongest of the Kaiju. Most were destroyed. One Jaeger, Gipsy Danger, made it through the Breach. Using its own nuclear power reactor as a makeshift bomb, it sacrificed itself to destroy the portal. The pilots, Raileigh Becket and Mako Mori, escaped at the last second. The Kaiju War ended. The apocalypse was cancelled.
Humanity moved on. Governments reorganized themselves. New technologies were created. Cleaner energy sources were found to light up our homes. Tokyo, San Francisco, whole cities that were destroyed in the War rebuilt themselves in record time. For several generations, humanity thrived in the peace.
That is, until the Kaiju returned.
A new Breach was created. Bigger, stronger Kaiju came out of the ocean to finish what their ancestors started. But this time, we were ready. Using the designs of the Final Four Jaegers, Gipsy Danger, Crimson Typhoon, Cherno Alpha, and Striker Eureka, Jaegers came out of the factories by the dozen. Countries such as Japan, the United States, and China were at the forefront of Jaeger designs. New combinations, new weapons, and new battle tactics kept us on our toes in the battlefield. Hundreds of recruits were chosen both in the Jaegers and in the Shatterdomes.
And with all this, the Second Kaiju War began.
Now, after four generations of warfare, a new batch of soldiers is ready to join the war. Among them are individuals who will be crucial to determining whether humanity survives a second apocalypse.
End Prologue
A.N.: And there you go, the beginning of P.R.N.G. is here. Now a few things to cover before I sign out;
First off, the first official chapter will mostly just go through introductions of the characters. Kaiju vs. Jaeger battles will be more common later in the story.
Secondly, I originally planned to make this solely as a Naruto x Pacific Rim crossover. But then I decided that that wouldn't produce the amount of Jaegers that I needed. Therefore, the characters will be from many entertainment backgrounds, anime, comics, TV shows, etc. Their perspectives will be told in a sort of Game of Thrones fashion throughout the fic. This also means that, like Game of Thrones, there will be lots of character deaths. Sorry.
Thirdly, the highlighted Kaiju will also be from multiple backgrounds. Why go through the trouble of making the Kaiju from scratch when I could just use the ones already alive and famous. Expect some familiar faces to come out of the Breach. And just to get it out there, I do not own the Kaiju.
Finally, the Jaegers. You may have noticed how I said that the new Jaegers would be designed based on the Final Four Jaegers (the four Jaegers highlighted in the movie). There is a reason for this. The Jaegers will be created using the Jaeger Designer app found on the Internet. Unfortunately, it only has starting templates for Gipsy, Striker, and Cherno. So I will use them as models for the new Jaegers. Crimson Typhoon style Jaegers will stay the same, except for color schemes and weapons.
I've said my part. See ya in Chapter 1!
End Transmission.
