PAN PACIFIC DEFENSE CORPS

COUNCIL SUMMIT

The next day, in Sydney the council was getting ready.

"Welcome back. Lots of sunshine today. The kick of the weekend, the city..."

"Good afternoon everyone. Peter Overton broadcasting from the Nine Studios in Sydney with the latest..."

"So far police say at least, 49 officers injured."

"Kaiju-worshipers in black masks throwing bottles and rocks."

"PPDC security in right gear are attempting to weaken..."

A crowd turns as a team of aircrafts approaches airlifting Gipsy Avenger.

Inside, the cockpit Jake and Nate were working on the controls. And Twilight and Rainbow are with them as well.

"Gipsy Avenger, this is Marshal Chan. All you have to do is stand there and look pretty. Stay focused and try not to fall over."

"Roger that sir." Nate replied.

"Go for drop."

"In three, two, one. Drop it." Said Marshal Chan.

And then the cables detached from Gipsy Avenger, and drops onto the landing point.

But was a little off balance, and then Jake was caught in a memory drift, and Gipsy Avenger struggles to stay balanced.

"Jake." Nate trying to reach him.

Jake was soon able to get his senses back.

"Drift alignment unstable."

"You okay, Jake?" Twilight asked.

"Relax. It's coming back to me." Jake assured.

"You sure?" Nate asked.

"Ion cells activated."

"And hey. We're in each other's heads, remember?" Nate reminded. "So I appreciate it if you'd stop thinking about Jules. Not gonna happen."

"Well, you're still thinking about kicking my tail." Jake said. "Not gonna happen either."

"It's gonna be a long day." Nate muttered.

"Boy, this is so amazing." Rainbow beamed. "I actually can't believe I'm in Gipsy Avenger. I mean, being in Gipsy Danger was great, but this is much better."

"Alright, slow down." Nate glanced back to her. "Just be glad we invited you and Twilight to this."

Twilight just rolled her eyes and shook her head from Rainbow's excitement.

Meanwhile, everything is going fine in HQ.

Hemispheres are calibrated, sir." Said a member. "Neural handshake is weak, but holding."

Jake made some adjustments on the screen.

"Incoming transport."

Flying into the bay, a helicopter flies towards the council.

And inside, Mako was looking at the Drone Jaeger design on her tablet. She then glanced through the window, and soon Gipsy Avenger was in view.

Meanwhile, 2 cars pulled up to the building and came to a stop.

A member soon opens a door, and Shao steps outside.

But no sooner after she stepped outside, there was some sounds. She look and saw a huge number of Seagulls flying away.

Gipsy Avenger as well turns to the Seagulls and they were almost as if they were fleeing from something.

Mako was seeing this as well.

"What is that?" Rainbow questioned.

"I don't know." Twilight said but knows something's wrong.

And then there was an alarm.

"Waring."

"Gipsy to Command. You reading this?" Nate called.

In the bay by the Sydney Opera House, something moving through the water.

And then, the object rose from the water creating a large water explosion as it raises. And it was revealed to be an Obsidian black Jaeger with orange marking lights.

And people near the Jaeger started running as the Jaeger firmly walks by, looks as if it was looking for trouble.

At the HQ, it was soon picked up.

Marshal Chan reaches his radio. "Gipsy, this is Command."

"Be advised that we have a rouge Jaeger."

"A rouge?" Twilight said.

"That can't be good." Rainbow said.

The rouge Jaeger marches towards the street as a crowd of people ran. And it's right wrist bumps the bow of a cruise ship.

"Pilots are unregistered Jaeger,-"

"-power down and exit your comm pod immediately." Nate announced.

But Twilight and Rainbow noticed that the Jaeger was not stopping.

"Uh, Nate? I don't think he's reasonable." Rainbow said getting concern.

The crowd ran as the right foot of the Jaeger stomps on a truck, and showing no signs of stopping.

"I repeat: power down and exit your comm pods now."

Taking a final step, the Jaeger then took a fighting stance. And then 2 shoulder panels opened and then fired a swarm of missiles.

Marshal saw it.

"Missiles Fired!" He announced.

The helicopter carrying Mako quickly banks left as the missiles flew by. And a missile flies by Gipsy Avenger as Nate, Jake, Twilight and Rainbow watched it as well as a hologram of it flew by the shoulder.

And a few missiles have hit the building and the last one hit under a helicopter landing pad. And it soon falls over as well as the chopper.

But Jake and Nate were able to catch it, and underneath that was Shao and her members begin to bring her to the car. And then Gipsy Avenger was hit in the back by another missile.

"We losing power!" Jake said.

4 cannons fired at the rouge Jaeger in the back, and it soon turns to the cannons. And then fires missiles at it, destroying them.

In the chopper, Mako watches the whole thing. And soon her tablet picks up a power signature on the Jaeger.

She then calls Jake.

"Jake, that Jaeger's-"

"-power reading is-"

But then there a high pitch sound.

And it was coming from the rouge Jaeger as back panels shook giving off the sound.

"It's jamming our comms." Said the pilot.

Then the Jaeger noticed the helicopter.

The group of 4 in Gipsy saw this.

"Nate!" Jake said.

"Power's up." Nate said.

"Batter up!" Rainbow said.

And then they threw the landing pad, and the Jaeger raised it's right arm and a cannon was raised on the wrist. But then the landing pad hits the Jaeger on the back as a missile was knocked off course.

And soon, the Jaeger turns as Gipsy Avenger charges. They attempt to punched it, but the Jaeger caught the fist, and then punches Gipsy in the face. And they were knocked back into a building, and then the Jaeger punches an upper cut and they were lifted upwards from the blow. And soon came down, Gipsy attempts to punch to the Jaeger quickly blocks it. And then punches with it's left fist, and then backward curved blades emerged from the wrist and then swung them across Gipsy's face. And then the Jaeger grabs hold of Gipsy as it then throws them into a building. Gipsy Avenger turns to fight back as it was forced back breaking a bridge, and then was knocked over into another building. And the the Jaeger throws Gipsy back into another building, and then another, and then the Jaeger fires a powerful laser beam from it's chest at Gipsy Avenger. And was knocked back into a building.

Gipsy Avenger soon stood up, and swung it's left arm deploying a Chain Sword.

And then the Jaeger deploys a Chainsaw Sword on the left arm. But then it deploys another on the right arm, meaning that this Jaeger is heavily armed. And flames appeared on the spinning blades.

"Oh, shit." Jake realizing they're in trouble now.

"Please tell me there's another Chain Sword." Rainbow begged.

And then the Jaeger swung it's right arm as Gipsy quickly avoids it. And it soon came in again, and Gipsy blocks it, on a building a few workers ran to avoid the fight. And then the Jaeger elbows Gipsy in the face, Gipsy attempts a swing attack. But the Jaeger swung the left sword at Gipsy's chest and hitting a building leaving a large gap. Gipsy attempts to strike, but the Jaeger ducks and turns and slams it's right wrist at Gipsy. Then the Jaeger raised it's right arm, but Gipsy quickly avoids it as the blade slices through the roof, and people quickly avoids the giant flaming chainsaw blade.

And the Jaeger struggles to pull free.

"It's not gonna stay stuck for long." Twilight said.

"What do we do?" Jake asked.

"Follow my lead." Nate said.

The Jaeger soon pulls free, and then Jake and Nate deployed the Elbow Rocket and then struck the Jaeger in the chest. The impact sended the Jaeger skidding across the street quite a distance as the sword blades in the buildings slowed it down.

And then the Jaeger, fired missiles again as a crowd of people below them ran away. And as a car parking building collapses.

Meanwhile, close by Mako's helicopter flies around trying to avoid the fight. But as they were passing a building, a missile strikes the building and some debris hits the side of the chopper.

Gipsy soon noticed it.

"Mako's hit!" Jake yelled.

"Oh no!" Twilight cried.

"We gotta move!" Jake said.

"Activate the Gravity Sling." Nate said.

They need raised the right hand of Gipsy as the hands deploys in a similar way of the Plasma Cannon. But instead they brought the hand towards some cars as strong pulses of beams brought the cars into a ball. And then, Gipsy threw the ball at the charging Jaeger and was knocked over by the blow.

Once the Jaeger was down, Gipsy quickly turns and starts running towards to the falling helicopter.

Inside the chopper, the pilot struggles to get the chopper straight. Mako quickly sends a message from her tablet, but fails a few times. But it finally sends.

Gipsy was soon nearing the falling helicopter, and once close enough. They made a jump for it as everything slows down. Gipsy's right arm extends to the helicopter as Mako placed her hand on the window and looks out. And then, Gipsy's fingers only brushed against the side of the chopper and missed the grab.

And Gipsy Avenger hits the ground as the helicopter crash lands with an explosion.

Jake soon saw it after recovering.

"Mako!" Jake cried and removes his helmet.

"Jake. Wait!" Nate said.

Jake quickly climbs out through a hatch, and jumps down. And quickly runs over to the burning helicopter.

Meanwhile not too faraway, the Jaeger was now recovered and heads over to the down Gipsy. But then it stops and turns and saw 3 other Jaeger being airlifted towards it.

After a moment, the Jaeger turns and walks away knowing it's too many a fight to win. And walks back into the bay, and disappears under the waves.

Sometime later, back at Shatterdome. Jake approaches Mako's memorial and looks at her picture frame next to his father's.

He then reaches into his pocket, and brings out an old photo. He placed it down, and reveals to be a family of Jake, Mako and Stacker.

He then heard an alarm beep, and enters a simulation room and found Amara trying to drift with a brain.

"This stupid brain thing." Amara complained.

She then saw Jake as he walks in. "Hey."

"Hey." Jake said.

Amara removes her helmet. "So I'm not really good at emotional stuff, but... I really am sorry about your sister."

Jake nodded.

"Half-sister?" Amara said.

"Yeah, her family died during the Onibaba attack." Jake said. "My dad took her in. And she was my sister, my family."

Amara understood that. "Why are you out of your uniform?"

"Just had a lot in my mind after Sydney." Jake said. "Guess I just wanted to be comfortable."

"Well, don't let Ranger Lambert see you in that." Amara warned. "He might take the stick out of his butt and beat you with it."

"I think I'm safe. Especially with that pretty guy."

Amara found it a little funny.

And then Jake noticed the brain that Amara was using.

"So they still using Sarah." Jake taps the container.

"Yeah, I can't drift with her for some reason." Amara said. "All the other cadets have been training for years and I... I hate feeling like the slow keg."

"You gotta relax." Jake said. "Or you're just grinding gears. I'll help you out."

"Got it, coach." Amara teased.

"Don't call me coach." Jake said.

"Alright, sensei." Amara said.

"Concentrate." He flicked her ear. "You have to make a good connection." He ready's a helmet. "You can't do that if you're yapping your gums."

They both placed the helmets on.

"You ready?" Jake asked.

"Ready." Amara said.

"All right. Let's see if we're drift compatible." Jake pushed a few buttons on a screen.

And soon, they were in a drift as memories of their past was seen.

And then there was a sudden break.

"Neural load is exceeding limit."

"Stay focused Amara." Jake said doing some adjustments. "Remember: the stronger your connection, the better you fight."

Amara relaxes.

"That's it." Jake said.

And then Amara was sudden caught in a drift as images started to appear.

"Amara. Don't hang on to the memory." Jake said. "Just let it flow back through you."

But then, she was caught in the memory.

It was 11 years ago in 2024, and Amara was only 5 and was with her family at a carnival on a pier.

"Amara, jump in there." Said her dad with a camera.

Young Amara joins with her mom and her older brother.

"Yeah come on." He said. "Get together. Ready? One, two, cheese."

And the picture was taken.

"Got it." Said her dad and the photo appeared from the camera and grabs it.

"Wanna see?" He asked.

Young Amara went up to him, and he gave it to her. And she went off to the edge of the pier to look at it and past Jake.

"Amara." Jake trying to reach her. "Amara, you have to let it go. Amara. Just listen to my voice. Amara!"

Young Amara continues to look at the photo, and then strangely water droplets started coming down as if it was raining in the middle of a clear day. Young Amara looks back and found that it wasn't rain.

It was a large Category 4 Kaiju known as Insurrector. The Insurrector roars as people fled for their lives.

Young Amara tried to get to her family, but Insurrector's leg breaks a gap of the pier as it walks and separating her from her family.

"Amara!" Jake trying to reach her.

"Daddy. Daddy!" Young Amara cried.

"Come on jump!" Her dad reaching out.

"Amara! We need to break the drift!" Jake yelled.

"Jump to me. Come on!" Her dad said.

"I'm scared." Young Amara cried.

"Baby. I'll catch you. I promise." He said. "Come on."

Finally, Young Amara makes a run for it.

But just before she was about to jump, Insurrector's foot stomps right where her family was standing.

"Amara! Take it off!" Jake said.

Soon Amara was able to break out of the trance.

"Are you okay?" Jake asked.

Amara was able to get her surroundings back.

"I was there." Amara said. "I felt it."

"Yeah. I felt it too." Jake said.

"Jake, it's me. You there?"

Jake reaches his radio. "Yeah, I'm here."

"Meet me in the lab right away. The marshal wants to see us."

"Alright, I'm on my way." Jake said.

He then turns back to Amara.

"You okay?" Jake asked.

Amara nodding, and making sure she's okay. Jake then headed out.
