Yancy walked out of the hangar behind him. The door opened, and Elsa stood there. Waiting for him. Yancy continues walking towards Elsa, but completely froze off in front of her.

"Mr. Becket….Mr. Becket…."
"Oh…Oh I'm sorry, I'm kinda…."

Elsa shooks Yancy's hand a little bit stronger than usual. Wanting to snap him off.

"Mr. Becket, welcome to Panama City. My name is Elsa Trancy."
"Please, call me Yancy. So, you're the head researcher here?"
"Well, that's what written on my card."
"Is there any code to working with you, Ms Elsa?"
"I'm always right, even if I'm wrong, I'm probably closer to the truth than you."

Yancy blurted out a loud laugh.

"Okay, okay I'm kidding. You don't have to laugh so hard."
"I heard you're also the one doing the programming code for the late MK-4 Jaegers.",said Yancy.
"I am. One of them is here, Hydra Corinthian."
"Wow. I like multitalented ones like you."
"Well, thank you."

"Elsa…..Elsa….."

"Elsa Trancy, please respond."

Elsa opens her eyes, finding herself inside an escape pod.

"I heard you, Mr Choi. Your voice sound much panicked."
"I'm panicking because you're floating in an ocean of acid and your pod is melting bit by bit."

Elsa quickly opens her pod and sat up.

"Don't worry, the choppers are on their way to pick you up."
"Where's Raleigh?"
"Around you. He's safe. You're both safe, thanks to Raleigh's immediate decision to eject both of you."
"I'm not even expecting that."

"Raleigh, what's going on?"
"It's not letting us go, even if we're shooting it with laser."
"And it's destroying Gipsy."
"…We have to get out!"
"Why?!"

Elsa stepped in the chopper and found Raleigh's already there.

"Your hair….."

Elsa stopped her steps.

"Oh, I must look messy."
"You do.", answered Raleigh.
"It's a good thing, I'm not doing 2 fights in a row."

Elsa sat beside Raleigh, resting her exhausted body.

"I'm covered in wounds and all you point out is my hair." ,said Elsa.
"You're quite the warrior there, able to sustain that much injury."
"I'm sorry, but even researchers are not that fragile."
"Okay, I should not worry about you. I should worry about Gipsy. How long will the reparations take, especially after 2 battles in a row?"

"Raleigh and Elsa are being transported back, Sir.",Tendo reported to Herc.
"Okay. That's good."

Tendo took off his communicator. Stretching out his body.

"The fight earlier, thought I was never going to see it again." ,Herc mumbled.
"It seems like, Yancy is fighting alongside Raleigh. Just like the old times."
"We shouldn't underestimate the compatibility of those two."

Now, the things have changed. All candidate rangers are trained faster, stronger, so that they can be deployed at any time. Gipsy's repair has also been put on fast track alongside the development of other Jaegers.

After several days of consulting the situation with each other, Herc is now going to meet the leaders of the nation with the others to explain the situation.

After reporting the previous events, Herc let Elsa do the explaining.

"Gentlemen, this is Ms. Elisabeth Trancy, A researcher."

Elsa stepped in, but the Prime Minister of Britain cut her off first.

"What is your name again, Miss?"
"Elisabeth Trancy, Sir."
"Elisabeth Trancy…. Nevermind. Please go on."

Herc and Tendo look at each other confused of the situation.

"Let me begin my theory. Not actually mine, it's the thoughts of me and the research team here. Assume that the Kaiju home planet, Anteverse is the same size as Earth. If the nuclear that Gipsy Danger brought in few months ago wasn't enough to destroy the planet, then the conclusion is that Anteverse is much bigger than Earth. Mr Gottlieb here did the calculations for us. About the multiple breaches, we concluded that they are all from Anteverse. This information comes from the 2 Kaijus we encountered before. So the Anteverse is connected to Earth with multiple gates. Apparently, we don't know if only one breach can be active at one time or multiple breaches can be active simultaneously. So we are proposing the reopening of the other Shatterdome, constructing more Jaeger and training more Rangers. This way we can be ready at any attacks from any breach. And this has to be done in faster rate than ever. For the way to close the breach, we are still perfecting the idea. But the main thing is that we drop multiple nuclear reactor to self destruct simultaneously at all breach. We will redo what Gipsy Danger did before. About the way to enter the breach, we find that using a Kaiju is a little bit inconvenient considering Kaijus self destruct after they're dead. Mr. Geizler thought that we can create artificial Kaiju skin, at least to cover the Jaeger. We will report back when we perfected this."

"All good?"

Raleigh's voice stopped Mako from her exercise. Mako was trying to walk around.

"Raleigh."
"You can walk better than last time. That's good."

Raleigh approached Mako and helped her.

"But I have to be in perfect condition as fast as possible.", Mako said seriously.
"Don't worry about it. You'll come back soon. Trust me."
"What about Elsa? Is she good?"
"She's more than good. You should see her last time.", Raleigh said excitedly.

Raleigh's answer silenced Mako. But, Raleigh, realizing this, poked Mako's head.

"You're still my copilot, Mako."

Raleigh went back to his room after a long refreshing chat with Mako. In front of his room, he found Elsa sitting there.

"Elsa."
"Oh Raleigh."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm tired."

Elsa's answer surprised Raleigh.

"Then you should go back to your own room. Not mine."

Raleigh opens his room then let Elsa in. Elsa stood a while in front Raleigh's wall that is full of pictures.

"So many pictures….."
"Different story for different pictures.", said Yancy.
"I know."

Elsa sat on Raleigh's bed, and then rested her body on his bed. Raleigh approached his bed. Stroking Elsa's hair.

"Yancy personally liked this hair color."
"I know."

Raleigh smiled.

"How did the meeting with the panel go? Sure took you a long time."
"They give me a mysterious look."
"What, why?"
"I don't know….."

Elsa dozed off before she can finish her sentence. Raleigh lifts her legs to the bed and tuck her in.

"Newton, now that the panel knew about your artificial Kaiju skin project, you can't back out."

Newton puts his hand on Hermann's shoulders.

"Hermann, you don't have to worry. I am very confident with this.", Newton replied confidently.
"How are you suppose to cover that gigantic Jaeger to look like Kaiju?"
"Just trust me, Hermann."
