For reasons unknown, Godzilla has betrayed the people of the "Pacific Rim" universe, after living in their realm for 10 straight years. Marshal Stacker Pentecost and his son, Jake, can only rely on the Gladiator of Gallifrey to discover a way of des...

The day Jake Pentecost feared the most had come: the day when the greatest Titan of the multiverse – Godzilla – would turn on the human race. It happened so suddenly; Godzilla had decimated London within the span of three minutes. The destruction was reported all over the news, citing the first Kaiju ever to ally with the Jaegers to now be just another threat to humanity.
When it was projected that Godzilla's next target would be New York City, Jake and his co-pilot, Nathan "Nate" Lambert, would drift together in Gipsy Avenger and – along with several other brave Jaeger pilots – combat with the rogue Godzilla. It was a task much easier said than done; much of their army of thirty Jaegers were no match for Godzilla.
Gipsy was the last one standing in the end, while all the others were lying among the rubble, dismantled or charred with their pilots. Jake tried not to panic, although he wasn't certain if it was his own anxiety or Nate's he was feeling. "Keep it together, Lambert!" he said for them both.
"I am together!" Nate barked. "I'm not dying to this thing!"
Nate put as much into the fight as Jake. For the longest time, he suspected Godzilla of being a "Kaiju turncoat." There was a theory he shared with the Marshal (Jake's father), Stacker Pentecost, about Godzilla's aim to be "king of the monsters," removing all the other Kaiju from the playfield. For the longest time, there had been peace with so many of them destroyed, thanks to the aid of both Godzilla and another Titan that recently emerged from the rift – Kong.
The gargantuan ape entered the scuffle over New York, just as Godzilla had Gipsy on the ropes. He tackled his former ally, shattering through several landmark buildings; thankfully, the city was evacuated before Godzilla arrived. With multiple left and right hooks, Kong pounded Godzilla into a crater. For a moment, it looked as if Godzilla's reign of terror had ended, as it laid unconscious beneath Kong.
That was until Godzilla unleashed its atomic breath, nearly incinerating Kong; it triggered an explosive chain reaction across a ten-mile square radius. Godzilla fled in the chaos, leaving Jake and Nate to douse the flames with Gipsy's built-in extinguisher, saving both the gravely wounded Kong and whatever buildings they could.
"Do we still have eyes on Godzilla?" Jake heard his father over the comms, assisting from the New York Shatterdome with Mako.
"Negative, Marshal," the despondent Jake replied. "He's in the wind."
Nate's fists clenched in rage. "We lost a lot of good Jaeger pilots today."
"And they will be avenged, Nate," Stacker reassured. "Return to base, gentlemen, so that we can regroup."
"Regroup for what, Dad?!" Jake retorted. "We got nothin' that can beat Godzilla!"
"We do have one thing, Jake," Stacker said. "We got the Gladiator of Gallifrey."
