American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Sydney.

Inside a villa.

Merchants, celebrities, councilors, and scholars chatted and laughed at the cocktail party. At the center, a small group of seven or eight people attracted the attention of the entire audience. Many people surrounded them, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to join. Several beautiful 'vases' who were fortunate enough to get close, pricked up their ears and listened attentively to the conversation of the seven, flattering them with bright smiles.

"It's been almost an hour, and the so-called Kaiju are still being firmly blocked outside. This fully illustrates the role of the Wall of Life. If we had adopted this method ten years ago, instead of launching the Jaeger Program, we would have been able to live in peace for several years. Fortunately, mistakes are ultimately mistakes, and truth will always arrive. We are the saviors of this world!"

In the small group, a middle-aged man, holding a wine glass, spoke with fervor. He was one of the contractors of the Wall of Life. The Wall of Life on the Sydney side was constructed by his construction company. This made his life better again, and he extracted a lot of wealth from it.

"Who says otherwise? Those who only have fighting in their minds are too rigid. Obviously, just a wall can block those monsters outside. Look at what they have done all these years? The funds invested in the Jaeger Program almost drained the member states' financial reserves, and even affected people's livelihoods. Many people can't even afford to eat, and all they can think about is fighting," a well-dressed celebrity with a small mustache said with compassion.

"General Stacker Pentecost of the PPDC asked me before if I needed to send his Jaeger pilots to solve the Kaiju. Why solve them? Wouldn't it be enough to just keep them out? So I refused his assignment. I don't have extra money to pay him security fees," said the speaker, surrounded by everyone, with a slightly bald head and a bulging belly, the Speaker of the Senate.

"PPDC, an organization that is about to become history. Haven't they been banned by the Alliance and become an underground organization? As I see it, they should be made to destroy the remaining Jaegers! An underground organization that has been stripped of its official status, why should it be allowed to have bases and dangerous weapons?"

"General Stacker Pentecost is still worthy of respect. After all, he has made great contributions to the safety of the world."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, the member states do not currently recognize his position as General of the PPDC as legitimate. Although everyone refers to him as General when mentioning him."

"That's true."

"Look at the wall on the screen, it's so solid! It's almost like another miracle of engineering - the Great Wall!"

The crowd exchanged ideas with smiling faces, in front of them was a projected virtual screen. Outside the wall, a Kaiju was tirelessly hitting the Wall of Life they were talking about.

The people around them were complimenting and echoing the words of the core seven, until a hideous Kaiju head suddenly appeared from the cracked wall. It had a hatchet-shaped head, and its huge body carried shattered flying rocks and dust. Under the terrified gazes of the surrounding crowd, it strode in as if it were in its own backyard.

The huge pupils swayed from side to side in their sockets, looking at the crowds of people who were screaming and running away like ants not far away, revealing a hint of playfulness in a human-like manner. The huge roar, accompanied by the sound waves of the wind, spread far and wide in this city protected by the Wall of Life, so the panicked crowd became even more panicked, and the terrified became even more terrified.

Looking at the Kaiju on the screen that took only an hour to break through the Wall of Life they had previously touted, and listening to the huge roar accompanied by the panicked crowd, the smiles on these people's faces suddenly froze.

"Didn't you let the people go to the shelter in advance?" The Speaker of the Senate, the most distinguished person present, looked at the Kaiju swaggering in from the gap in the Wall of Life, looked at the crowds running around in panic on the screen, and looked at the crowds and damaged buildings that were crushed and trampled to death by the Kaiju, and asked in a dry voice. He instinctively sensed something was wrong.

"We thought the Wall of Life was indestructible, so we didn't need to..." The secretary looked a little embarrassed.

"Is this a global broadcast?" The Speaker narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, reporters are recording the defense of the Wall of Life to reassure people around the world." The secretary wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The Wall of Life can block Kaiju below Level 4, who assured me of this?" The Speaker asked inexplicably.

"Mr. Charles." The secretary gave the answer tacitly.

The Speaker's majestic gaze fell on Mr. Charles, the wall contractor, who looked nervous and flustered: "Perhaps, you need to give me, give the entire public an explanation. This kind of project cannot be cut corners, Mr. Charles." After saying that, under Charles's gray face, his expression like a dead wife and children, and his pleading eyes, the Speaker dropped the wine glass in his hand and walked towards the outside of the villa.

"Contact General Stacker Pentecost and let him send Jaegers over! Also, has Striker Eureka evacuated? If not, stop him! Let him stop this damn monster!" The Speaker lowered his voice and angrily ordered the secretary. He had already found someone to take the blame, and in order to have more room for maneuver and play, he had to minimize the losses as much as possible.

...

PPDC, Cai Tian Tong announced urgently.

"There is another Kaiju signature, and it is rapidly approaching Sydney."

"Tell me the strength!" Stacker said with a stern face.

"Level 4!" Cai Tian Tong replied.

"What about Striker Eureka?"

"The retired Hansen father and son have returned online."

"What did Sydney say?" Stacker was full of helplessness. In the past, wherever Kaiju appeared, the PPDC had all the power to respond, but now that they have lost their official status, they see Kaiju appearing and want to provide assistance, but they must obtain the other party's permission. Otherwise, if the other party uses the excuse of invading the territory to blow up the Jaegers they sent in mid-air as invading enemies, or trouble them afterwards, Stacker would have nothing to say.

"They, request to send Jaegers to solve the Kaiju." Cai Tian Tong's tone was a little strange for a while. Especially when he thought that the other party had just confidently refused the assignment an hour ago, declaring that the Wall of Life could protect their safety.

"Let the Alexis couple prepare to attack." Stacker breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Striker Eureka's huge body crashed heavily into a building, followed by a leap from a behemoth with fangs like a rat.

"This is not good, did headquarters say when support will arrive?"

In Striker Eureka's cockpit, Chuck Hansen, who was originally arrogant, gave a look while tacitly controlling the Jaeger to dodge with his father, Herc Hansen. Under the neural handshake, their communication only required a look at most. As a genius pilot, Chuck was of course not afraid of any Kaiju in a one-on-one situation.

Since its service, the powerful Striker Eureka has experienced many battles, and the number of Kaiju killed by their father and son has reached nine.

But two Level 4 Kaiju, this intensity still made them feel pressure. Especially these two Kaiju are very smart and have a considerable sense of cooperation. This makes them even more tricky. What makes Chuck a little angry and feels bad is that he thinks these two Kaiju are playing with them.

Yes!

Although this idea is abrupt and somewhat absurd, Chuck has this feeling. As a father with a neural handshake, he also recognizes his son's judgment.

These two Kaiju are indeed teasing them like a cat teasing a mouse.

"Soon!" Herc Hansen, as a father, punched the Kaiju that rushed up head-on, staggering it, and was immediately hit directly from behind by another cunning Kaiju. Its ferocious mouth directly bit one of the Jaeger's arms, and its good teeth shook its head and tore out a pile of parts. While the body of Striker Eureka vibrated, a series of sparks also appeared in the cockpit. The father and son adjusted their posture extremely quickly to restore the Jaeger's balance.

The coordinated attack of the two Kaiju made the Hansen father and son suffer repeatedly. If the two Kaiju did not intend to end the battle as soon as possible, if their father and son were not good and alert enough, if Striker Eureka was not a fifth-generation Jaeger with a speed and energy parameter of 10 and an armor of 9, they would not be able to support it for so long.

But the Hansen father and son knew very well that without support and accidents, when the two Kaiju got tired of playing, their best ending would be to take one away in a one-for-one exchange. And the attack that damaged Striker Eureka just now may indicate that the two Kaiju are no longer interested in Striker Eureka.

A huge roar and fire flashed across the sky, and then a very special Jaeger crashed heavily from the sky into the center of the battlefield. Like a dividing line, it separated the injured Striker Eureka and the Kaiju.

Cherno Alpha.

"Come on, little cuties! Let's collide!"

A woman's voice was transmitted to the Hansen father and son in Striker Eureka's cockpit through the PDDC's Jaeger combat platform.

Sasha Kaidanovsky.

One of Cherno Alpha's pilots. A strong, resourceful, and decisive woman with connections. Most of the time, she doesn't act like a woman, but like a queen. But you can't deny her excellence and strength. This can be seen from the fact that she has been driving a first-generation Jaeger for so many years without failure and has a brilliant record.

At least, looking at Cherno Alpha blocking between their father and son and the two Kaiju like a fortress, and looking at the impenetrable metal body like a mountain, it is still very reassuring.

"I think it seems to have changed a lot." Chuck got up from the ground and muttered to his father. As the earliest first-generation Jaeger to be manufactured, its appearance and function are almost well-known in the PPDC. Even if it has been repaired, patched, upgraded, and updated a lot in the past ten years, there have been no major changes.

"The PPDC has recently carried out major upgrades to the active Jaegers, and it is said that it has been replaced with a lot of powerful weapons. We didn't catch up." Herc Hansen answered while synchronizing his posture with his son.

Two double-edged giant axes flipped one hundred and eighty degrees, ejected from Cherno Alpha's arms, and were tightly and seamlessly locked in its metal hands. The metal axe blades gradually turned red, and then, like magma, emitted golden high temperatures.

"Cool! I also want to install one on Striker Eureka." Chuck whistled, and then, with unexpected agility and speed, bypassed the seemingly bulky Cherno Alpha and rushed directly to one of the Kaiju. Damage to the Jaeger, as long as the battle is not over and the Jaeger is not completely out of control, does not affect the pilot's continued combat.

Like a silent giant, Cherno Alpha also rushed towards the other Kaiju with a hatchet-shaped head.

The axe was raised high and chopped down!

The blade of the right-hand thermal battle axe easily cut through the thick skin of the Kaiju, whose armor value was no less than that of the Jaeger's metal armor, like a knife cutting butter. Before the blood could spill, the high temperature flowing on the axe blade had already evaporated it. Then came the next axe from the left hand from bottom to top. A huge X-shaped wound appeared on the Kaiju's body in a few seconds.

The screams were deafening.

However, Cherno Alpha was as silent as a ruthless old butcher. After drawing an X-shaped wound on the Kaiju, it took the opportunity to chop off the two forelimbs of the Kaiju with two consecutive axes. The wound was still scorched, and no poisonous blood spurted out. There was a burnt stench around.

Equipping Jaegers with cold weapon-style weapons is the treatment that will only be available after the further development of Jaeger technology in the future. In the first movie, only the main Jaeger had a chain sword.

Pure cold weapons have great limitations for Kaiju. Not to mention occupying Jaeger space and weight, they may not be able to play their due role when facing Kaiju. At least the armor of the Kaiju's skin is mostly no less than the metal body of the Jaeger. If it cannot break the defense, or if it breaks the defense but the effect is very small, it will cause more and greater pollution, it is better to have a few more plasma cannons or anti-Kaiju missiles.

But in the second movie, the new generation of Jaegers are generally equipped with corresponding weapons. Such as thermal chain swords, arc whips, ion double-edged swords, M19 "Morning Star", elastic slingshots, etc. These weapons do play a key killing role when targeting Level 4 and Level 5, as well as some super-large Kaiju.

At least the Kaidanovsky couple like it very much. The two have also specially studied some cold weapon fighting skills in the past few months, and they play the two axes very well. There is no doubt that the thermal battle axe has turned the bulky Cherno Alpha from the previous heavy armored boxer into a heavy armored berserker with a surge in lethality.

It may have taken a long time for Cherno Alpha to kill a Level 4 Kaiju before, but now, Cherno Alpha with two thermal battle axes in hand says that as long as it is not a specially targeted Kaiju, it can kill one kid with one axe.

With a single axe blow, Cherno Alpha brutally and violently chopped off the axe-like head of the Kaiju beneath it. Its gaze then fell upon another Kaiju, one that was nimble and somewhat rat-like, relying on its teeth for maximum damage. Noticing this gaze, the Kaiju was startled, especially since the gruesome fate of its previously well-coordinated partner, now separated into corpse and head, had cast a huge shadow in its mind. It leaped up suddenly, its nearly two thousand tons of weight, supported by strong hind limbs, actually propelling it almost a hundred meters into the air, attempting to jump over the damaged Wall of Life and return to the sea.

However, how could Cherno Alpha watch its opponent escape?

Its massive, cumbersome body stomped around on the ground in a circle, using the momentum to hurl its left-hand, still-cooling, thermal battle-axe towards the fleeing Kaiju. After a miserable shriek, the axe blade embedded itself directly into the Kaiju's body. The axe blade was still connected to a metal wire. Dazzling arcs of electricity surged from its palm, along the metal wire, and directly into the Kaiju through the wound torn open by the axe blade, causing extremely severe damage within its body.

This caused its escape plan to fail prematurely. In the subsequent attacks by Cherno Alpha and Striker Eureka, it successfully joined its teammate in being taken offline.

Under the setting sun, the two Jaeger pilots stood shoulder to shoulder. Near them were two Kaiju, devoid of life, and a section of broken wall. This scene was excitedly captured by a reporter who had not entered a shelter.

It also appeared before the eyes of people all over the world who were watching this scene.
