We hear an alarm wailing along with a woman's voice through a computer screen which is inside a cabin where a black cat and a white cat with moon crescents on their foreheads, Luna, and Artemis along with Mina and another young woman with long blonde hair divided into a pair of hair buns with the rest of her hair forming long tails from the bases of her hair buns, are sleeping inside.

Computer Voice: Gipsy Moon, report to bay 08, level A-42. Kaiju, codename: Knifehead, Category 3, 8700 Metric tons.

Upon hearing this alert, Luna and Mina quickly arise from their beds. Mina then quickly but gently shakes the other woman's shoulder to wake her up as well.

Mina: Hey, Serena, wake up! Movement in the Breach. Come on, you're being deployed.

Serena moans quietly as she slowly removes her bed sheets and sits upright in her bed. Mina quickly gets dressed and gathers her equipment, including a headset with a microphone, a 2 way radio that connects to the headset, and a spare battery on a charger that is plugged into a wall outlet.

Artemis: Kaiju is a Category 3, biggest one yet. Codename: Knifehead.

Serena: (sleepily) Mmmm, what time is it?

Mina: 0200 hours.

Serena: In the morning?!

Mina: That's right.

Luna: (with a British accent) But on the bright side, this will be your 5th kill, and that will make you an ace.

There is some chatter outside their room as Serena gets out of her bed, then a knock at their door.

Man at door: Come on Serena, time to suit up.

Serena gets dressed and is about to leave when Luna stops her one more time.

Luna: But Serena.

Serena: Yeah?

Luna: Don't get cocky now.

Serena nods in acknowledgement while smirking as if saying "Yeah, yeah."

[cue score 'Pacific Rim']

We then see Serena and Mina walking down a hallway leading to Bay 08, Level A-42.

Serena: (narrative) Years before, you wouldn't have picked girls like me for heroes. No chance. I was never a star athlete, and I was never head of the class, not to mention bit of a klutz. But I did know a thing or two about saving the world, from my experience as a Sailor Scout. It turns out I was so good at it [saving the world], that they made me the leader of a group called the 'Sailor Jaegers'.

They walk into what appears to be a preparation room, where Serena and Mina are met by a group of technicians.

Serena: Alright, let's suit me up so I can kick some hiney bottom.

The technicians then outfit Serena with a navy blue suit of armor with a small crescent moon symbol on the upper left portion of the chest panel, and a small emblem on the upper right which reads 'Gipsy Moon'. In the center of the chest plate is an opening for what looks like a jet turbine. The suit appears somewhat bulky due to the protective armor that is built into it. After Serena is fully suited up from the neck down, she is then given a helmet of the same color as the rest of her suit. Serena then steps inside a launch bay facility which a much larger version of her armored suit, about 20 stories tall awaits. She and Mina check out the operation of the radio while the suit is connected to ground power. Another young woman can be heard over the radio.

Young Woman: (off screen) Good Morning, ladies.

Serena: Trista, what's happening girl?

Mina: How did that fashion show go last night?

Trista: It went pretty well. All of my fashion entries were big hits among the spectators.

Serena: Sounds like somebody knows what they're doing.

Trista: A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do.

Trista is described as having a tall, slender figure, with long, dark green hair that is tied with a small hair bun on top, purple eyes, with ruby red lips and matching color jeweled earrings, and a somewhat darker skin tone than the fair skinned Serena and Mina. A man approaches behind Trista.

Man: Engage APU (auxiliary power unit), Ms. Meioh.

Trista sits upright in her seat.

Trista: Engaging APU, sir.

The man that walks up next to Trista is described as rather tall, about 6 foot, 2, with average build, and short raven colored hair with dark blue eyes.

Trista: Marshall Darien Shields on deck. Standing by with APU, getting ready to energize main reactor.

Around the giant Jaeger suit, some technicians make final preparations, including checking the APU circuit breakers and inspecting the housing for the nuclear vortex turbine inside the chest area.

Technician: APU set and ready to go.

All systems are go as Mina and Trista monitor the Jaeger suit from different viewpoints.

Mina: Stand by with APU.

Serena: Gipsy Moon, ready to start up APU.

There is a low rumble as the APU starts up. A gauge on Trista's holograph display confirms APU voltage.

Trista: APU voltage confirmed, sir.

Darien: Engage pilot to interface protocol.

Trista: Engaging now.

The lights all come on inside the Jaeger suit and the suit's operating system starts up.

Gipsy Moon AI: Pilot to Interface Protocol sequence.

From outside the suit, we can see the nuclear vortex turbine flash blueish white out the turbine housing as the reactor core energizes, then turns orange-yellow once it stabilizes. All the electronics and exterior lights throughout the Jaeger suit are activated as well.

Woman over PA: Gipsy launch, Bay 6.

We see the Gipsy Moon being rolled out of the launch bay on top of a large crawler transporter as a giant metal doorway slowly opens to provide a clear exit onto an exit ramp and into the water below. The suit remains motionless as it is set down in the water.

Serena: Gipsy Moon, ready and aligned sir.

Darien: Tsukino, this is Marshall Darien Shields, standby for neural synchronization.

Trista: Starting in 15 seconds. Fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten…

Mina: (to Serena over the radio) Are you ready to go big Serena?

Serena: I was born ready.

Trista: Five, four, three, two-

Gipsy Moon AI: Neural synchronization, initiated.

Serena closes her eyes.

Serena: (in a flash back) MOON! PRISM! POWER!

[cue 'Sailor Moon Transformation' from the Dic dub]

Now we see Serena undergo a 'Magical Girl' type of transformation as her mind is synchronized with the Jaeger suit, similar to that seen when she becomes Sailor Moon. During this transformation, we get a glimpse at several moments in Serena's memory, including highlights from the hit anime series 'Sailor Moon'. These highlights include when Serena wakes up in shock upon realizing she was late for school again, as well as when she confronted a group of kids who were tormenting a black cat who was later revealed to be Luna, leading to the time when Serena first met her and transformed into Sailor Moon for the first time.

Serena: (voice-over) The 'Sync', Jaeger tech. Based on DARPA jet fighter neural systems. A woman, merging together mind and body with the body of a giant mechanized suit, forming a partnership between woman and machine. And it's that connection between the two that enables them to fight as one.

Serena now opens her eyes. The neural synchronization process is now complete, and Serena is now officially Gipsy Moon.

[cue score 'Jaeger Tech']

Trista: Operating system running smoothly.

Gipsy Moon AI: Right hemisphere calibrating. Left hemisphere calibrating.

Gipsy Moon then lifts her left arm, with forearm and fist parallel to the ground, palm facing down and then does the same with her right arm. She thrusts both fists forward simultaneously, and then pulls them back. WHIRRR! WHEEE! CHUCK! HISS! CHUCK! She now lifts her forearms into an upright position, palms facing the sides of her head, extending and closing her fingers a couple times in sequence. WHIRRR! She then opens up her right hand and slowly brings her hands down in front of her chest, punching her left fist into the palm of her right hand. WHIRRR! CLUNK! Gipsy Moon then lowers her arms down to each side of her. WHEEEEE! CLICK!

Darien: Gipsy Moon your orders are to hold the Miracle Mile off Anchorage. Copy?

Gipsy Moon: Copy that, sir.

Mina looks at a holographic projection of the area map, showing an area extending about 10-20 miles offshore. A dotted red line at the 10 mile marker shows the 'Miracle Mile'. Gipsy Moon's job is to intercept the kaiju before it can pass this far from the coastline. Mina then sees a ticker on the map showing a small vessel identified as a small fishing boat.

Mina: Sir, there seems to be a civilian vessel still in the gulf-

Darien: Mina, she [Gipsy Moon]'s protecting a city of 2 million people. She is not to risk those lives for a boat that holds 10. Am I clear?

Mina: Understood.

Gipsy Moon, who overhears this, is in dismay with Darien's order.

Gipsy Moon: (under her breath) Man that's cold…. (to Mina, aloud) You know what I'm thinking Mina?

Mina: (whispering) Just between the 2 of us, I think I already know.

Gipsy Moon: Then I guess it's time for me to go fishing.

Gipsy Moon then starts walking out from the launch facility as she makes her way to a designated area 10 miles offshore, the Miracle Mile. The heavy metal machinery of the Jaeger suit working in concert as Gipsy Moon seems to slowly but effortlessly walk through the water. A light smirk comes across her face, showing confidence. WHIRRRR! CLUNK! WHIRRRR! CLUNK! WHIRRRR! CLUNK!

Serena: (narrative) There are things you can't fight, acts of nature. You see a hurricane coming you have to get out of the way. But when you put on a Jaeger suit, suddenly you can fight the hurricane, and you can win.
