Chapter 17

After successfully passing through the Breach, Gipsy Moon's intense rage dissipates almost immediately. She retracts her sword back into her left forearm, allowing Slattern's remains to fall away from her and Gipsy Mini Moon. She takes a moment to look around at this new, alien world that have just entered and is visibly in awe.

Gipsy Moon: So this is what lies beyond the Breach.

Her attention is then turned to Gipsy Mini Moon upon hearing her heavy, labored breathing, like someone who was having an asthma attack. Gipsy Mini Moon's face was a very light shade of blue.

Gipsy Mini Moon AI: Oxygen Main, critical levels. Operating at 15 percent capacity. Ten percent capacity. Five percent-

Neural sensors in Gipsy Moon's helmet detect signals from her brain to deploy an auxiliary air supply hose, similar to those equipped by scuba divers. A small hatch opens in upper portion of her back, behind her neck and the supply hose deploys from it. She then leans to her left to allow the supply hose to drop down where she could reach with her left hand, since her entire right arm was ripped off by Raiju prior to passing through the Breach. She grabs the supply hose and carefully turns around to face Gipsy Mini Moon and opens a small door on Gipsy Mini Moon's helmet, revealing a quick-connect port into which she inserts the end of the supply hose. Gipsy Mini Moon then breathes very deeply, as if taking a breath of fresh air. She breathes progressively shallower and shallower as the color of her face returns to normal.

Trista: She's giving Rini some of her oxygen.

Gipsy Mini Moon's breathing returns to normal as the neural sensors in Gipsy Moon's helmet detect additional brain signals to switch herself over to the auxiliary air supply while allowing Gipsy Mini Moon breathes from Gipsy Moon's primary air supply. The holographic display inside Gipsy Moon's helmet now shows that her suit is now connected to Gipsy Mini Moon's, sharing electrical data and power as well as air supplies.

Gipsy Mini Moon AI: Oxygen levels, stabilized.

Gipsy Moon: It's okay now, Rini. We did it. I can finish this on my own. All I have to do is blow up. I've been known to blow from time to time.

Trista: (over the radio) Serena, you're on auxiliary oxygen now. You don' have much time. Start the Self-destruct sequence and get out of there. Do you read me? Get out of there now.

Gipsy Moon now ejects Rini from her Jaeger suit, which seals her safely inside an escape pod before ejecting her out through the top of Gipsy Mini Moon's helmet. Rini now floats up through the Breach and back into our world while Gipsy Moon and the now empty Gipsy Mini Moon suit continue to sink farther and farther down the Throat.

Trista: One pod is ejected. No detonation, sir.

Darien pounds the desk once again.

Gipsy Moon: LOCCENT, if you can still hear me, I'm initiating the Self-Destruct sequence now.

The neural sensors inside her helmet now detect brain signals which send a command to initiate the Self-Destruct sequence. However, upon receiving these signals, a holographic display inside her read flashes "MALFUNCTION. MANUAL ACTIVATION REQUIRED."

Gipsy Moon AI: System malfunction. Manual activation required.

Darien: What's going on?

Trista: The triggers off-line, she has to do it by hand.

Newton: She's running out of time. She has to self-destruct now.

Gipsy Moon now has to conduct a manual override by accessing the override switch, which was located in her back under a rear hatch. Since she only has one arm though, she knew right away that trying to activate the switch on her suit would be too difficult, so she resorted to activating the switch in Gipsy Mini Moon instead since that Jaeger suit was connected to hers. As she continues her descent down the Throat, Gipsy Moon grabs hold of the Gipsy Mini Moon suit and brings it around to her front. Electrical jolts repeatedly strike the exterior of Gipsy Moon as well as the empty Gipsy Mini Moon suit. This does not seem to hurt Gipsy Moon as the metal exterior seems to act as a ground, preventing the jolts from reaching her body. She secures the lower body of the empty Jaeger Suit between her legs, doing her best to disregard the pain and discomfort of trying to lock something inside her crippled right leg. Gipsy Moon now opens the rear hatch of the Gipsy Mini Moon suit and the manual override switch becomes clearly visible, with a hand pad underneath it. She improvises by placing one of the hands of the Gipsy Mini Moon suit, then grabs hold of the handle for the switch, then turns it a half turn clockwise, then a quarter turn counterclockwise while somehow keeping the hand on the pad. A timer begins to count down from one minute. Because the two suits were connected, Gipsy Moon's suit would self-destruct as well as Gipsy Mini Moon.

Gipsy Moon: Manual override initiated. Simultaneous Self Destruct in T minus 60 seconds.

Gipsy Moon AI: Self Destruct in 55 seconds. Fifty seconds.

Gipsy Moon now grabs hold of the Gipsy Mini Moon suit by the waist as she descends all the way down the Throat and into the Kaiju's world below. In the background, there is what appears to be a large amber eye that appears to look slightly to the right of our viewpoint. Below was what looks to be an alien village. In it, several insect-like creatures, known as the Precursors see Gipsy Moon descending down towards them. One of them walks over to where Gipsy Moon was descending towards. Gipsy Moon meanwhile activates the turbine shaft purge in the Gipsy Mini Moon suit telepathically using the neural/cyber connection described above. A flame bursts out from the turbine housing on the Gipsy Mini Moon suit, and the thrust it generates turns both itself and Gipsy Moon upright so that the top of Gipsy Moon's helmet, where the ejection port was located, would have a straight shot up to the Throat and back into our world. During which the one Precursor steps towards Gipsy Moon and retracts a clear membrane from its four eyes as it curiously looks on at her. Gipsy Moon now determines she's set herself up just right and deactivates the shaft purge on the Gipsy Mini Moon suit. We get another look at the self-destruct timer and it now reads 20 seconds.

Gipsy Moon: Okay, time for me to clock out of here.

Gipsy Moon AI: Evacuation pod activated.

Gipsy Moon now ejects from her Jaeger suit, reverting back to Serena in the process and she is sealed inside an escape pod similar to the one Rini was ejected in. The pod heads directly for the Throat leading up to the Breach back into our world. Meanwhile the two empty Jaeger suits continue their countdown.

Gipsy Moon AI: Five, four, three, two, one. Initiate self-destruct.

By the time the Precursor knew what was about to happen, it was too late. Its eye suddenly grow wide in shock as the two Jaegers are now partially engulfed by blue spheres of energy before exploding simultaneously, destroying the entire alien village in the process. Back in the Shatterdome in our world, Trista and the others confirm the destruction of the Breach.

Trista: Direct hit! The Breach has collapsed!

Everyone in the Mission Control room cheers upon hearing this. Darien meanwhile wastes no time in sending a helicopter out to pick up Serena and Rini.

Darien: Send a chopper. Send a chopper now!

Outside on the landing pad, a single CH-53 is sent on its way. Meanwhile, out in the middle of the ocean, we an evacuation pod emerge from beneath the surface. POOSH!

Trista: Visual on the first pod. Tracking is solid, vital signs are good.

The pod ejects the clear plastic lid from which we could see Rini's face and then open up like a blooming flower. A bright green fluid is released from the bottom of the pod to act as a visual aid, for the rescue helicopter to find Rini and pick her up. Rini then stands up and takes a look around her to see where she was.

Darien: Okay, where's that second pod?

Trista: I'm tracking it, but I'm getting no vital signs.

After a few moments while Rini was looking around, we see the other pod emerge from beneath the ocean a short distance behind and to the right of where Rini was standing. POOSH! She immediately turns towards the sound made by the second pod and sees the pod itself and knows that that is the pod that Serena was in. She dives off her pod into the water and swim towards it. Rini then climbs on top of the pod and looks through the clear plastic viewpoint to check on Serena, but Serena appears to be unconscious. Rini then activates a small ever underneath this viewpoint to eject the lid, and then removes Serena's helmet so that she could check for a pulse along Serena's neck.

Rini: I can't find her pulse. I don't think she's breathing.

Darien: Can you read his pulse? Does Serena have a pulse?

Trista shakes her head 'no', while Rini tries her best to wake up Serena by attempting CPR on her, but it did not seem to work.

Rini: Serena? Serena?

Trista: Rini, listen to me. It could be that the sensors aren't working. We can't be sure.

Rini becomes deeply saddened at the thought that Serena maybe dead. She then picks up Serena's body and hugs it sadly, her eyes tearing up as she does so.

Rini: (sobbing) No. Don't go. Please.

Trista: Rini.

Rini: (saddened) Don't go.

Trista: Rini.

After a few moments, the others back at the Shatterdome also seem deeply saddened, finding it hard to admit that another good friend of theirs, not to mention the leader of the Sailor Scouts was very likely dead as well.

Rini: (tearfully) Don't go, please.

After a short pause however.

Serena: (weakly) You're squeezing me too tight.

Upon hearing this, Rini's eyes light up and she lets go of Serena. She gives Serena a little bit of room so that she could catch her breath.

Serena: (normal) Sorry. I couldn't breathe.

Rather than get upset with Serena however, Rini just giggles at her like any middle school aged girl would giggle. The others now realize that Serena was alive as well and they cheer and applaud, showing how grateful they are that the two girls were alright. Darien then steps up to the microphone once more.

Darien: This is Marshall Darien Shields. The Breach is sealed. Stop the clock!

Everyone throughout the Shatterdome cheers in triumph as the war clock is deactivated. This was the moment that they all hoped would come. The Kaiju War was finally over. Meanwhile, back with Serena and Rini.

Trista: Serena, Rini. We have your position and a chopper is on its way. Just hang on. Are you okay? Do you copy?

Serena and Rini can hear the helicopter off in the distance and the two of them gaze at each other and exchange warm smiles. Rini then gently leans onto Serena, turning her head to the left as she rests her head against Serena's chest and closes her eyes, smiling. Serena then tenderly wraps her arms around her daughter from the future and looks downwards at her, gently stroking Rini's back as she does so, like any loving mother embracing their daughter.

Trista: Uh, anyone?

Rini: (softly) Mmm.

Serena: (softly as well) That's my girl.

As they are embracing, we see the helicopter approaching them and circle around to set itself up so that one crew member can jump down from it and pick up Serena and Rini. Meanwhile, back at the ruins of Hong Kong, we can see the carcass of the baby Kaiju lying motionless on top of a level pile of rubble once again. As we are given a closer look however, we see a small blade pierce through the side of the baby Kaiju's carcass and cut a linear opening about four feet wide. We then see a pair of arms with a familiar looking butterfly knife in one hand and then a torso emerges from this opening. It turns out that Hannibal Chau was somehow still alive, but not overly amused at what just happened to him.

Hannibal: Where is my Arceus-damn shoe?

Sometime afterwards, it is revealed that Mina, Raye and Lita were reincarnated and have gone back to living their civilian lives. Rini went back to her home in Crystal Tokyo, a kingdom from the distant future where she is the daughter of Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion, the future selves of Serena and Darien respectively. Hotaru was tearfully reunited with Mina, her adoptive mother in the present, and later with the support of her and all of Hotaru's closest friends, she has been able to learn to live a happy and independent life. She later meets a young man by the name of Michael Murray, whom she found was Autistic just like her, and after dating for about two years, the two of them became happily married. They decided not to have any children of their own though, since they felt that just having each other was enough company for them.
