Caine and Hiccup had watched the whole fight in disbelief. The Imperial Maritime Division had given it their all, but it hadn't been enough for the plan to be completed. The Kaiju roared triumphantly as it held the tattered remains of the Takako over his head before tossing it nose first into the water.

The Kaiju then submerged back into the water and continued swimming, more than likely towards the island. Caine looked to Taylor and Arc who looked just as concerned as they were.

"Alright, down to us then." The old Clone Trooper said grimly. Hiccup shrugged slightly. "No pressure."

"Uh, H. I think there are metric tons of pressure," Tuffnut said from his Zippleback head.

"Just get ready to blow the explosives when he gets near." Taylor told the Clone Trooper. Caine nodded to her and to Hiccup.

The Night Fury Rider nodded and turned to the Dragon Riders. "Let's not be heroes here, Riders. We just need to get him to divert to the Northwest, not stop him."

"No argument here," Jaune and a few of the Reds and Blues agreed.

Suddenly they heard something approaching the island fast. They all looked out and saw a rising tide moving towards them. A tsunami, headed right for their fake little town. The buildings could probably hold out against it, but the Troopers on the streets below wouldn't.

"Everyone!" Ember shouted through the radio. "Get inside! Now!"

The wave hit the shore and kept traveling towards the fake city, engulfing the beach, the trees and then hitting the streets hard. Caine watched as Troopers ran for cover inside the buildings trying to outrun the incoming tidal shift. Some made it inside, but there were a few squads who hadn't. The wall of water crushed any who weren't fast enough to get inside, taking them along for the ride. The mock city streets were suddenly a small series of rivers, with dead or drowning Stormtroopers floating in it.

That was when the Kaiju made landfall, announcing his presence to all as he stomped onto the wet sandy beach. His footsteps shook the earth even more than the tsunami, stomping towards their position. Caine readied his missile launcher.

"Alright," he said. "Come and get us then."

Alpha Predator One smashed into the mock city, crushing one of the buildings with a swipe of his arm. Briefly, he seemed confused at how easy the building crumbled, but he kept on marching through the streets undeterred. Caine wasn't frightened off either, he took aim with his missile launcher and fired. The blast struck the Kaiju in the eye, along with several other projectiles. The Kaiju was visibly enraged, but looked unsure of where to direct his wrath. The strategy was working, don't give the Kaiju one place to focus his rage on.

"Good, now we lead him towards the first explosive charge," Prince Daemon ordered. "I'll have teams one through four lead him over," Lieutenant Taylor stated. 

"We trigger the bombs, collapse the building on him and reposition for the next charge. Rinse and repeat until we got him headed Northwest." Sarge added.

"Yeah, sure. Easy enough," Caboose chuckled nervously. "So long as we don't get pancaked in the process."

But then Alpha Predator One shrunk out of view and splashed down in the water filled streets.

"Toothless, echolocation," Hiccup ordered his Night Fury companion. The black dragon stood over the edge of the building and roared, releasing soundwaves out to the streets below. All this revealed though was the debris and dead Troopers in the water.

Suddenly, the Kaiju jumped out of the water in his human form and size. He landed on a building and started killing the Troopers there. He grabbed a Trooper by the throat and punched them three times. The first punch depleted the Trooper's Aura. The second shattered the Trooper's helmet and the third punch shattered the man's skull open. Half of the rest retreated while the others tried to buy them time to escape. They were aided by the autoturrets on the roof.
