Alaska 2:15 AM...

It is cold. The Alaskan Fall is in full swing, and with the fall comes extreme drops in temperature. This doesn't stop whalers from making some last minute hunts. But there are risks to this kind of work, not only are there icebergs, but there are also kaiju that can flatten you like a can of soda.

Crouched on an iceberg, a figure scans the horizon, blue eyes watching for any sign of Kaiju. The figures dinosaur-ish features weren't hidden by the grey hoodie it wore, with a long snout and a set of fangs sticking out, with dark-green scales and markings starting in front of his eyes before trailing down each side of his neck. A long tail, 6 feet in length, lays curled around the Figure's legs, which are built like those in theropods.

The figure's large ears twitched to the distant sound of titanic machinary working. Turning his head in the direction the sound is coming from, his eyes are briefly brimmed with a soft, but cocky, gold.

"It's a good day for a swell battle." He whispers, a smug smirk tugging at his maw.

With those words said, the dark grey dorsal spines on his back began to glow as he jumped from his perch, said glow engulfing him before he disappeared below the waves. This is bound to be interesting.

"So what what Category was this asshole again?" Asked Jaeger pilot Yancy Beckett, who was piloting the right side of their Jaeger: Gispy Danger.

"Pentecost said it was a Cat. 4, and the nerds called 'em 'Knifehead'." Said Raleigh Beckett, who piloted Gipsy's left side.

Gipsy Danger, one of the toughest Jaegers still in the Jaeger Program, waded to it's destination with the help of her pilots. Covered in blue metal armor plating, with a gold visor, and a burning orange nuclear reactor in her chest. Despite have fought in many, MANY battles, Gipsy still managed to retain her beauty.

The mission was to track down and kill a kaiju that had been making it's way to an Alaskan city on the coast. If it reaches the mainland, the rest of the American continent could be put at risk.

A sudden halt on Yancy's side brings the Jaeger to stop.

"Oi, why did you stop, saw somethin'?" Raleigh asked, a hint of irritation in his tone. They had work to do, so no time for distractions.

Yancy stared to his right for a few seconds before shaking his head, "Nothing," He said dismissively, " Let's do this."

Raleigh gave him a look, but decide to give it a rest for now. What mattered now was killing that kaiju.

Unbeknownst to them, a set of jagged, Maple-leaf shaped dorsal plates slowly swam towards the spot the Jaeger was headed.

A few minutes later...

After a bit of searching, the twins find their quarry. Let's just say, this thing was a true aquatic fighting machine.

A thick, black, leathery hide, decorated with yellow markings that seemed to glow, covered the kaiju's massive. It's acid blue eyes stared down it's mechanical opponent, Jaws opening to reveal massive teeth and a bioluminescent glow in it's throat. Steam blasted out of a blow-hole on the top of it's skull, which earned the monster it's name. It's bulky body rose out of the seafoam, Arms squaring up to tackle the Jaeger and devour it's con pod.

(A.N.: Round 1, FIGHT!)

GRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAOOOOOO!

With a mighty roar, Knifehead charged at the Jaeger, jaws poised to rip into the con pod and kill it's pilots. Gipsy, retaliated with a left hook, followed by right hook, before finishing the combo with a two-armed slam on the monsters skull. The monster, not going down that easily, prepared to pounce on the Jaeger.

The brothers anticipated this, however, and pulled out Gipsy's plasmacaster. A quick charge, and the Jaeger unloads a blast of pure energy at the kaiju, causing bioluminescent blood to spill from the holes created.

The Kaiju let out a shriek of pain before sinking below the waves, supposedly dead. The Becketts both let out a sigh, that was easy. Well, maybe too easy. But eh, win's a win.

"Yancy, Raleigh, what the hell is going on out there!?" Pentecost demanded over the com.

"Just took out a kaiju! Saved everyone in the city and on a boat!" Yancy cheered.

"You disobeyed a direct order!" The head of the Jaeger program scolded,"Get back to your post, NOW!"

"Hehe! Yes sir." Yancy chuckled.

However, before the Jaeger can head back home, Pentecost came back on the com.

"Wait a minute!" Pentecost's voice became panicky, "Gipsy Danger! Be on high alert, that kaiju is still alive!"

'Oh lord help us...' Both brothers thought to themselves. If this was a kaiju that can play possum, then they were for a world of hurt.

Gipsy's spotlights scanned the dark water, trying highlight the monster's yellow markings to betray it's presence. Suddenly, Knifehead lunged out of the water, grabbing the Jaeger by it's waisr with it's smaller set of arms and Biting with it's Jaws. Both Becketts tried to hold back the kaijus head while they readied the Jaegers plasmacaster. Knifehead, however, was waiting for this opportunity and bit down on the Jaegers right arm, tearing off the appendage from the Jaeger, plasmacaster included.

Searing hot pain coursed coursed through both Yancy and Raleigh's right arm, the former letting out a scream of pain while the latter tried his best not to do the same. This was start to become too much for them? They needed to call in back-up before they became seafood?

"Yancy! We need to call in back up, NOW!" Raleigh ordered, his older brother senses taking over. However, Yancy just stood there, a look on his features betraying his helplessness.

"Yancy? Why are you starin' at me like th-!?" Raleigh never got to finish his sentence as a part of the con pod ripped away, taking the younger Beckett brother with it. An overwhelming feeling of dread and grief filled Raleigh at that moment.

His brother was gone.

"NOOOOOO!" An enraged Raleigh screamed, tears threatening to spill over. With the determination of a bull, Raleigh, although he knew the risks over piloting a Jaeger solo, readied Gipsy's left plasmacaster just as Knifehead slammed into the Jaeger and began gnawing at it's chest. Raleigh didn't care if the stress of piloting the mech solo killed him, because he'll have a brother avenged.

Suddenly, another monster launched out of the water and tackled Knifehead into the surf. This caught the Jaeger pilot off-guard, who unloaded a plasma blast at the newcomer, but instead of drawing blood on impact, the only thing he got out of it was a annoyed grunt. The newcomer lifted one of it's feet of the water and placed it on the Jaegers chest, the former then pushing it away before setting it's focus on it's quarry.

Dazed and having his vision blurred from the effects of piloting a Jaeger solo, Raleigh immediately began to head towards the shore, but not without looking behind him through the hole in the con pod. He can make out the forms of the new monster and Knifehead, the former sinking below the the waves, taking what appeared to be an Unconsicious Knifehead.

Why did that thing intervene? That was a question that swam around his clouded mind. If that thing appeared at the last second to take out the kaiju, why did he only push him away. Pushing the thought aside, Raleigh continued to move towards the Alaskan shore. He had to get to there before he fainted from the stress.

Ok, that's Chapter 1 taken care of. Now you may be wondering "Wasn't this supposed to take place 1 year after Raleigh left the Jaeger Program?"

Hehehe...no worries, it'll reach that point by the time Chapter 3 comes around.

Until then, this is Goji14 Signing off!
