Capital of Xadia
It has been two weeks since the breach has been closed. During this time Abby was with her family catching up on how they were doing. Anthony and Xara were giving the world leaders of Earth tours of Xadia and giving reports about the culture, landscape, and lifestyles of the Elves. Onya was busy working on another jaeger that she named Defender Roxium. All was going good until Rayla and Callum told them some news that they held back.
"Hey Onya, do you have a minute?" Callum said.
"Oh yeah, what is it?" Onya said.
Rayla and Callum looked at each other and nodded. "We know who was making the dark kaiju." Rayla said.
Onya was shocked, not that they told her but that they withheld it. "Why didn't you tell us?"
"We weren't certain at first, but through some thinking we think Viren is behind this." Callum said.
"Who is Viren?" Onya said.
"He is a dark mage and he is currently incharge of Katolis, at least I think." Callum said.
"We didn't know how to tell you but now you know." rayla said.
"Then we must stop him from making any others, you two get Anthony and Xara and i'll call Abby." Onya said.
"Okay, on it." rayla said.
They soon left to get Anthony and Xara from their tours while Onya called someone on her comlink. "Get me Sir Pentecost immediately, and tell him to get the other pilots."
*Yes ma'am, may I ask why?* The Officer said.
"I've gotten some intel that is important to stopping the dark kaiju." Onya said
Shatterdome Breakroom
"Then we crushed head like grape, it was glorious." Sasha said.
"Wow, and the other kaiju?" Gene and Samantha said.
"We ripped out its throat and shoved it in mouth." Aleksis said in a Russian accent.
"Will you two give it a rest, I don't want them to die sooner." Abby said.
"Come on, we tell story to everyone's child." Sasha said. "That makes them want to be like us, da?"
"Yeah, but they've already seen me kick kaiju but before." Abby said.
"Yeah, but not Striker Eureka mate." Chuck said. "We killed kaiju before breakfast."
"Shi de, dan woman ne, women zhiqian shale hendue kaiju." Cheung Wei, one of three pilots of Crimson Typhoon said.
"I know that you've also killed many kaiju, but that doesn't take away that i'm a mother and don't want to see my kids die." Abby said.
Just then Major Pentecost came in and said "Pilots come with me, we have a mission for you."
"Come on sir, the kaiju are already gone, what else can we do but celebrate!" Raleigh said a little drunk.
"We aren't done with the kaiju, a user of dark magic has been reviving them in the elf word and you have been talked on defending the planet." Pentecost said. All the pilots were shocked that there were more kaiju. Abby on the other hand was trying to hide her face due to not telling them. All the other pilots then looked at her with some faces being furious, shocked, or being extremely tired.
"Now then, shall we go to the meeting hall?" Pentecost said.
"Yeah, lets go." Markus said with disdain in his voice.
They went to his office and Pentecost explained that they know who and where the dark wizard is. He also told them that they will be shipping out to Xadia as soon as possible. Many of them had worry in their eyes. They didn't want to fight any more, they wanted to settle down and want to relax for a while. After the meeting they got ready to go, they were aloud to bring anything they wanted. Food, personal belongings, and other things that would help them in the new world.
After a few hours they were ready to go, they said their goodbyes to family and friends and went to their jaegers. One by one they left for the breach, Striker Eureka was the last one to go through the breach. "So where is your jaeger?" Chuck said.
"It's in Xadia, you'll see it soon." Abby said.
As they went in they felt a surge of energy in the breach and when they came out it was gone. "That was rough." Chuck said.
"You get use to it, now go north east and you'll find the capital." Abby said. The jaeger followed Striker Eureka for a while until they saw far in the distance a city with many tall building and a giant domed building. "There it is." Abby said.
They went towards the domed building and many doors opened at the sides, each able to fit one jaeger. Each jaeger entered their own door and the doors closed behind them. All the pilots got out of their jaegers and were greeted by Elf guards and were escorted to a large meeting hall. When Abby got there she saw Anthony and Xara talking to the other pilots, she then ran and tackled Anthony in a hug.
"C-can you not d-do that every t-time you see me!" Anthony said choking by Abby's grip.
"Sorry, it's a habit." Abby then got off of Anthony and helped Anthony up. They then were seated and Onya came to the stand.
"Thank you for coming, i'm guessing you all already know why you are here?" Onya said.
"Yeah, to stop a dark wizard." Chuck said.
"Yes, he in in the Kingdom of Katolis, which is preparing to start a war with us." Onya said.
"Then let's get into our jaegers and kill this guy." Sasha said.
"It won't be that simple, there are at thousands of civilians in Katolis." Onya said. "If we send jaegers then that will escalate the war."
"Then what so you propose?" Mako said.
"We send a team and kill him." Onya said. "I've already chosen the members."
"Shei shi huiyuan?" Cheung Wei said.
"W-what?" Onya said.
"He said 'who are the members'." Abby said.
"You know Chinese?" Anthony said.
"Yeah, took it in high school." Abby said.
"The members are Xara, Anthony, Abby, Callum, and Rayla." Onya said.
"Wait, why choose us?" Anthony said.
"One, Xara is an experienced warrior, two, you and Abby were here longer than any other pilots, and three, Callum and Rayla know the kingdom in and out." Onya said.
"Makes sense, but why bring us?" Markus said.
"You'll be defending the city from any possible dark kaiju attacks." Onya said.
"Okay, when do we go?" Abby said.
"When Sir Pentecost bring the necessary equipment." Onya said.
"What equipment?" Anthony said.
Hangar Bay
"Greeting pilots, I have brought the equipment for the mission." Pentecost said.
"What did you bring?" Abby said.
Pentecost then took the lid off of a container and showed new weapons. "This here is a plasma rifle, it is a downsized version of the plasma cannons on your jaegers." Pentecost said.
"Woah, this is pretty sweet!" Anthony said.
"Also pistols, grenades and shields." Pentecost said.
"Wait, let me check something." Anthony said looking in all the craits.
"Please tell me you did get hi-" Abby was then interrupted by Anthony yell in excitement.
"YES, YOU MADE ONE!" Anthony then pulled out a minigun.
"You made him a plasma minigun." Abby said. "Of course you made him a plasma minigun." She said with a sigh.
"Now I will give Xara, Rayla, and Callum and course to use these weapons properly." Pentecost said.
After a few hours Pentecost showed them how to fire a gun, throw a grenade, and use the personal shield. When they were done they have chosen their main weapons. Xara had a rifle with a long range scope and a side arm. Rayla had a smg and a grenade launcher. Finally, Callum had twin pistols and a shotgun. Abby thought long and hard about her choices until she chose a rifle and a smg. Anthony didn't need to think, he went with the minigun, rifle, and side arm. After they chose their weapons they were given a ride by Sol Regem to the border to lessen the travel time. When they got there he let them off and went to his perch. They went on their way and were ready for what was to come.
Sacred Library, Capital of Xadia
"Hey, Katie and Markus is it?" Onya said.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Katie said.
"Well I know about how you lost your jaeger in a fight with a kaiju a while back." Onya said.
"What are you getting at?" Markus said.
"Well, as a sign of good faith, I decided to create a new jaeger for you guys." Onya said.
"What?!" Katie and Markus said with a look of shock and joy in their face."
"Yep, come with me." Onya said. She lead them to a giant room where the jaeger was being given final touches. The jaeger had a dark blue color scheme, masculine body structure, had a symbol of a phoenix on its chest painted in red, and heavy armor on its arms. "I call it Defender Roxium, what do you think?" Onya said.
Katie and Markus were still dumbfounded by how bulky and how fast the jaeger was built. Markus then gave Onya a giant hug and let go a few seconds later, after that Katie gave her a hug as well.
"When will we be able to pilot it?" Katie said.
"It needs a few minor touch ups, it should be ready in an hour." Onya said.
"That is great, thank you for giving us a second chance." Markus said.
"Only doing my job." Onya said.
Deep within a forest
It was late at night and the team had put up camp. Abby, Xara and Ralya were putting up tents while Anthony and Callum were getting firewood. Callum tried his hardest to cut down a tree but wasn't strong enough to go half way through the tree. This is when Anthony got his minigun and shot a focused plasma beam through the tree, cutting it in half. Callum was shocked by what the weapons could do, and he was a little terrified.
"Think smarter, not harder." Anthony said.
"R-right." Callum said picking up pieces of wood.
"So Callum, how goes it with Rayla." Anthony said.
"Wait, what?" Callum said. "We're not in a relationship."
"Really, I thought you were." Anthony said. "You two seen very close."
"Well when you try and return the Dragon Queens child then you tend to grow a bond." Callum said.
"Yeah, I can see that." Anthony said. "Then do you like anybody, you look about 15 years of age."
"I'm 14, and I did like someone." Callum said.
"Who?" Anthony said.
"Her name was Claudia, she was kind, sweet, and wanted to learn so much." Callum said. "But she tried to kill Rayla and capture Zym, so I don't really have any feeling towards her anymore."
"Ah I see, not what she seems." Anthony said. "Well, don't judge a book by its cover, you'll regret it."
"Thanks, and what about you and General Xara, Abby showed me a 'picture' of you two kissing." Callum said.
"She did what!" Anthony yelled. He ran back to camp and screamed at the top of his lungs "YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T SHOW ANYBODY!"
"Oh sorry, my fingers must have slipped." Abby said with a smug grin.
"GIVE ME THE PICTURE NOW!" Anthony screamed.
"You'll have to catch me first." Abby said running around the campsite with Anthony running after her.
"I love that man." Xara said.
Rayla and Callum both chuckled and were blushing a little group soon went to bed with the picture burned and the team waiting for what was coming in the morning.
