Pacific Rim: The Black: The Novel

Prologue

"The latest reports of seismic activity are confirmed to be breaches erupting across Central Australia." said a reporter, "We've seen these before, friends. Gateways from an unknown hellscape. Each one..."

"...titanic monsters known the world over as Kaiju. Our only defense? Homebuilt monsters of our own, Jaegers." said another reporter.

"Cities throughout Australia continue to fall, as do our Jaegers." said the other reporter, "With the death toll climbing, the PPDC's Marshal Rask has given the order, 'Evacuate.'"

"Everyone on the continent has five days to reach the following cities: Brisbane, Darwin, Perth, or Sydney." said the last reporter with little hope, "If we don't get there, no one will come for us. No one will save us. God be with us all."

Striker Berserker stood weakly in the middle of the city as fire ruled the entire city. The left side of its face was slashed open. It felt Acidquil, a category 3 Kaiju pierce its metallic right shoulder. It was pinned into the glass building. Glass scattered across the battlefield that was once a city full of people. It engaged its sting blade and stabbed Acidquil on the right side of its chest. The beast stumbled, backing away as it shrieked in pain. It tried to trip Striker Berserkers with one of its tails. The Jaeger lifted its left leg, blocking its attack with ease. The beast lashed onto it, missing a bite on its head. Striker Berserker then engaged its right sting blade and stabbed through its head. Acidquil's blood spewed everywhere. Striker Berserker fell down to the ground.
