Pacific Rim: Man VS Monster

Chapter Ten: Cobalt's First Battle!

Later on in the evening, Tendo was making his way into the LOCCENT Control Room, carrying a few cups of coffee for some of the workers and technicians. But, as he entered the control room, he saw the Seismometer was going out of control, and was detecting something going on down at the Breach.

"Movement in the Breach." The A.I spoke out. "Kaiju detected. Dilation indicator, Category 4."

Immediately, Tendo called in the Jaeger Pilots and many technicians, while everyone was tracking the Kaiju after it left the Breach. So far, they haven't determined it's location, but they knew it was coming.

Braedey stepped in through the crowds, stepping up lacy to Alex and Alice, along with Claire and Jasmine. The Wei Tang Brothers, Kaidanovskies, Hansens, and both Naomi and James were there.

"What's going on?" Braedey asked the others once he arrived.

"A Kaiju has surfaced." Alex replied to him, sounding rather serious now instead of being funny.

"Breach was exposed at 2000 hours." Tendo informed everyone, as they listened in. "We have one Kaiju signature, a Category 4. Codename: Diamosaurus. Tracking shows it will reach Shanwei in two hours' time."

Shànwěi (Chinese: 汕尾), or Swabue, (Ty-sami) is a prefecture-level city in eastern Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Its about 137km away from Hong Kong, borders Jieyang to the East, Meizhou and Heyuan to the North, Huizhou to the West, and looks out to the South China Sea to the South. It lies approximately 120km (75 mi) East of Shenzhen and the locals speak the Haifeng dialect.

"Marshal." Braedey spoke up, getting Pentecost's attention. "Please. You have to let Cobalt out into the battlefield."

"Mr. Martin, Cobalt is-" Pentecost was then cut of by Claire.

"Is ready for deployment." Claire stated back next. "Plus, we need all other Jaegers here in Hong Kong in case the double event occurs."

Pentecost sighed, and knew the two were right. In addition, it'll be the first time the Mark-3 has actually been put into service. "Very well." He next looked over to everyone. "Evacuate the city. Shut down the bridges. I want every single civilian in a refuge right now." He then looked to Braedey, who stood firm, his hands behind his back. "Cobalt Warrior, I want you to frontline the harbour. Stay on the Miracle Mile. Only engage when you have the Kaiju in sight."

"Yes, Sir!" Braedey yelled out, standing firm and tough. The girls smiled to him, seeing his fiery spirt back.

"Let's go!" Pentecost announced, and everyone got to work, as Braedey sprinted off to get ready to Drift with Cobalt, but this time, for battle. Claire watched him go, and sighed, knowing he's finally back.

'Got get him, tiger.' She thought to herself, then she followed Jasmine and both Alice and Alex to watch Cobalt Warrior he deployed into battle.

Ten minutes later, a squadron of V-50 Skyhawk helicopters, armed with cables and magnets, were hooked up to Cobalt, and started to lift her out of her bay, all of them transporting the Jaeger to Shanwei's Bay. Once up at an altitude of around 100ft above sea level, the choppers beach to fly towards Shanwei, about an hour away from Hong Kong.

Alice and Alex watched them fly away, just as Jasmine and Claire walked up alongside them. "That was so cool." Alex commented, watching the Mark-3 be transported away in the distance. "Go, Cobalt Warrior!"

"I just hope Braedey will be okay out there on his own." Jasmine hoped.

"I know he will be fine." Claire reassured her friend, much to her confusion, as she looked over to Cobalt Warrior in the distance. "I know he will..." 'And because I've always believed in him, even after he left the Jaeger Program.' She thought that sentence in her head.
