BIONIC Rim
Chapter I
Jaller stumbled through the deserted streets of Ta-Metru. Five years earlier, the city was the site of the first Kaiju attack. Since the attack, the Jaeger program had been going effectively. The Jaeger belonging to Toa Lhikan, Flaming Fury, dispelled a similar looking Kaiju just recently.
Kaiju had been quick pickings, but the research team had their doubts. A Skakdi researcher named Avak noticed bigger and bigger Kaiju coming from Zakaz. It was not unreasonable to assume the same could not occur in Metru Nui. Jaller went the skeptic route as well. The Kaiju seemed to be TOO easy these days.
Jaller crossed into his foundry when he felt the earth shake. He knew this shake well. It was the exact same sensation he felt at the first Kaiju attack. He had been in a foundry, but he had witnessed most of the battle.
This time, there was an evacuation drill in place. Matoran were to clear the street as the Jaeger walked down the field. In full view stood the giant red Jaeger of Ta-Metru, Violent Volcano. Piloted by the leader of the Toa team, Lhikan, VV was the first Jaeger commissioned and the most capable fighting machine in Metru Nui.
Violent Volcano attacked with a rush of fire from its palms. The dragon returned fire. It unleashed a breath attack. The Jaeger was completely unprepared, and buckled at the knee. It got up, and moved closer to the Kaiju, picking up an entire foundry to use as a projectile. VV smashed the dragon with it, and the dragon backed off.
This only delayed the Kaiju. It unfurled its wings and pounced on top of Vicious Volcano. It fell like a solid protodermis boat.
Jaller sat stunned in silence. Another Jaeger would be called onto the scene to finish the work, but until then, the situation looked grim.
They weren't kidding, Jaller thought. These beasts have gotten stronger.
The Le-Jaeger, Tepid Tornado, finished the job, but Jaller mostly kept inside, cowering in a corner after this incident.
