Gipsy wasn't sure what she would see when she finally arrived at the Miracle Mile, but she probably should have known better. Crimson and Cherno were nowhere to be seen, probably swallowed by the waves. Striker still stood, but probably not for long, as the Kaiju called Leatherback raised its massive fists over his head.

Gipsy's determination transformed instantly into rage.

"HEY, ASSHAT!" she screamed.

"Oh, what is it now, honey?" Leatherback complained as he slowly turned around. "I thought we agreed that I would get to kill this-Hey, you're not my wife!"

The Jumphawks released her, and Gipsy landed.

"No, I'm not! But you're about to be a blue smear on a wall, shithead!"

"Well, I could use a new playmate," Leatherback remarked. "This one's a bit of a stiff. But I'll have you know I'm champion of the Kaiju Wrestling League. Are you sure you want a shot at the title?"

"Shut up, SHUT UP!" Gipsy yelled. "JUST GET OVER HERE AND FIGHT ME, YOU OVERGROWN HAMSTER!"

Leatherback shrugged. "All right, you asked for it."

Gipsy met the Kaiju's charge head on, pushed him back, and dodged around to his backside.

"You won't be needing this any more!" she exclaimed as she ripped off what she assumed was something important (given all the lightning flowing around it) from the Kaiju's back and threw it away.

"Ow! Hey! Hey! Foul! Where did you learn to dance?!" Leatherback protested before trapping her in a massive bear hug.

"First rule of dancing: Always face your partner!"

The Kaiju spun her around before throwing her high and wide.

Somehow, she ended up in the city, rolling through highways and light poles.

The Kaiju was trying to make a fool out of her.

She rolled to her feet and planted both her heels and palms firmly into the ground until she stopped. She was going to kill that monster!

"Ahhh, that was a good warm up." Leatherback said as he stepped onto the dock. "You know what the best part about killing Jaegers is? You all make such nice crumpling sounds as you break."

"SHUT YOUR FAT UGLY FACE BEFORE I TEAR YOU A NEW ASSHOLE!"

"Oh, such language. Is Pimp Daddy gonna have to slap a ho? I think so."

The ground shook as the Kaiju began its charge. On any other day, such a sight might have struck fear into her heart. But today, Gipsy was angry. This monster thought he could kill her friends and creators and crack jokes about it?!

She sprinted forward at full speed and activated her rear thrusters. Anyone watching that night would have sworn that Jaegers could fly.

"FUCK! YOU!"

Her fist smashed into the top of Leatherback's skull with the force of a god's hammer.

"THAT WAS FOR CRIMSON!" she yelled as she grabbed hold of the Kaiju's head.

"THIS IS FOR STRIKER!" she added as she delivered a punch to Leatherback's head.

"THIS IS FOR CHERNO!" Another punch.

And then Gipsy pulled her fist all the way back.

"AND THIS IS FOR ME!"

The rocket in her elbow ignited, propelling her fist into Leatherback's head with enough force to make reality itself shudder.

Leatherback went down.

"Oww. This isn't working. Maybe I should-Oh look, a crane!"

Leatherback came up swinging a broken construction crane.

"Looks like it's prop comedy night at the Improv!"

As the ground came up to meet her, Gipsy's rage continued to boil over.

Her fingers closed around some shipping containers.

"YOU WANNA IMPROVISE!? I CAN IMPROVISE!"

She smacked that smug smirk right off the Kaiju's face and smashed the containers against his head.

"Hey! That's no fai-"

She shut him up with a shipping container.

As the Kaiju's back was turned, Gipsy grabbed him under his shoulders and pulled him up into the air.

"YOU LIKE WRESTLING!? I CAN WRESTLE!"

She threw him as hard as she could, but Leatherback somehow landed on his feet.

"Hey, no jackin' my swag!"

"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!?" she screamed.

"You know what?" Leatherback mused, his voice raising a bit. "You really wanna die without a punchline? Fine by me!"

The enormous Kaiju lunged forward, crashing into Gipsy. She planted her feet firmly in the ground, but still she was being pushed back. The disgusting beast's claws were on her, trying to overwhelm her. It was the last straw.

"YOU WANNA CHARGE!? I CAN CHARGE, TOO!"

Her hand formed a cannon.

"MY PLASMA CANNON, THAT IS!"

"And you thought my jokes were ba-"

She cut him off with a volley of shots into his side. Most of them were striking indirectly, but she didn't care.

"GET! THE! FUCK! OFF! OF! ME!" she punctuated each word with another blast.

The Kaiju roared as his organs became molten. Or maybe he was making another joke. She wasn't paying attention any more.

At one point in the barrage, one of the Kaiju's arms came off. Good. It was about time one of them knew what it felt like.

Finally, after what felt like years, Leatherback stopped pushing. With a final shove, Gipsy sent the corpse to the ground.

But as she began walking away, memories of her last battle came to the surface, and her anger bubbled up again.

Gipsy spun around and unloaded four more shots into the carcass, leaving it a burning husk.

"AND THIS TIME STAY DEAD!"

Then she turned to the city.

"One bastard down. One more to go."
