American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

The sky was pouring rain.

The base's dome slowly opened towards the sky, and more than forty heavy transport helicopters slowly lifted the Jaeger mechs from their berths, carrying them towards the coastline.

Time passed, and the deployment of the Jaeger mechs was successful before the Kaiju arrived.

"Eureka Striker is in position," Herc Hansen and his son reported as they steadied Eureka Striker in the seawater.

"Stay on the one-mile continental shelf, and don't engage unless necessary," Stacker's voice echoed in the Hansens' ears through the communication equipment in the PPDC base.

"Cherno Alpha has reached the designated area and is disengaging from the transport," Alexis Kaidanovsky said as the heavy Cherno Alpha crashed heavily onto the sea surface. The balance and anchoring systems activated immediately, helping them to steady themselves.

"Crimson Typhoon is in position," the Tang triplets reported their status.

"Gipsy Danger deployed successfully," Raleigh Becket said, bumping his mech's fists together, a gesture that drew the attention of Cherno Alpha's pilots.

"Mako has secured the coastline. Lighting equipment activated," Mako Mori said from Gipsy Danger's cockpit. Although this was her first real battle, her mind was calm. After discarding unnecessary thoughts and memories, Gipsy Danger's slightly hunched back compartment opened, and a ball of blazing white light ejected and ascended, unfolding its form in mid-air, transforming into a sun-like, dazzling light source that illuminated the dark surroundings.

"Good job," Raleigh Becket praised.

"Listen, these Kaiju are not simple! Two Category 4s of considerable size and weight, and a Category 5 with the largest size and weight ever recorded, about which we have no information. Be careful during the battle, and don't be careless!" Stacker seriously reminded everyone in the communication system from the PPDC base.

The five mechs, excluding Eureka Striker, which was stationed on the one-mile coastline as the last line of defense, Cherno Alpha and the other four mechs began to spread out and garrison their designated areas.

Blinding spotlights swept through the darkness, patrolling the surroundings while the pilots also focused on the changes in the waves.

Suddenly, a wave surged to Crimson Typhoon's left. Beneath the high wave, a massive creature seemed to be moving rapidly in the seawater. Crimson Typhoon noticed something was wrong immediately, but before it could react, it was struck in the waist by a tail that suddenly erupted from under the sea, sending it flying.

A roaring, hideous beast burst from the seabed, resembling a gorilla with a thick, chitinous shell. Its thick arms propped it up in the seawater, and when it stood upright, its clenched fists looked like a pair of iron hammers.

The Tang triplets, piloting Crimson Typhoon, used their mechanical arms to support themselves on the seabed and stood up, assuming a fighting stance. On each of the three arms, a huge, rapidly spinning blade, made of harder and tougher material, cut through the air, creating a series of sharp, whistling sounds. When the Kaiju, codenamed Scunner, attacked again, they skillfully wielded the high-speed rotating blades, delivering a left-right combo around its neck.

Blinding sparks flashed where the blades contacted Scunner's skin, surprising the Tang triplets, who were skilled at cutting Kaiju and had gained a lot of experience.

Too hard!

Even the upgraded blades failed to inflict the expected damage. If it had been the Crimson Typhoon before the blade upgrade, these two attacks would probably only have caused some seemingly terrifying but actually insignificant small wounds.

Cherno Alpha, closest to Crimson Typhoon, began to move, parting the waves to help. However, the waves in front of them surged again, and a reptile with blue, bioluminescent, transparent blood vessels covering its body, and a scissor-like chitinous material on its tail, like a sharpened greatsword, leaped out, attacking Cherno Alpha and blocking its path.

The second Category 4 Kaiju, codenamed Otachi, appeared.

As Gipsy Danger and Gipsy Danger were about to approach the battlefield, a large bulge appeared in the sea not far away. As the seawater splashed in all directions, a Kaiju with a hammerhead shark-like head and three menacing sword-tails rose from the sea.

At the first sight of it, Raleigh Becket, Mako Mori, the Hansen, and Stacker in the base couldn't help but take a deep breath. A sense of crisis in the face of a dangerous creature swept through their bodies.

The Jaeger mechs, over eighty meters tall, were metal giants in everyone's eyes, but standing in front of the Category 5 Kaiju codenamed Tresspasser, the Jaeger mechs were like children compared to adults.

Mako Mori looked at Tresspasser projected on the virtual screen in front of her, as well as some information next to it, and felt a little suffocated.

Height: 90-182 meters [crawling and upright states]

Length: 274+ meters

Weight: 6700+ tons

Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous

Decades of fighting Kaiju had given the PPDC some understanding of Kaiju information. The higher the Kaiju's level, the stronger it was. Before this, there was also the fact that the larger the Kaiju's size, the greater its lethality and destructive power! The first Category 5 Tresspasser that had appeared in the world was the most dangerous Kaiju in the PPDC's collected Kaiju information, both in terms of level and size.

Tresspasser did not attack immediately. Its four blue pupils, two on each side, seemed to possess intelligence as they first scanned the battlefield before collapsing from an upright position into a crawling posture. Its three long and flexible tails swayed back and forth in the air like willow branches in the wind, but its eyes were fixed on Mako and Raleigh.

"I'll go first and test its strength," Raleigh Becket said to Mako Mori on the communication channel.

"Be careful!" Mako Mori nodded. As Raleigh Becket's current Gipsy Danger's maintenance personnel, Mako Mori knew Gipsy Danger's strength very well. And coincidentally, she had also witnessed Raleigh Becket's recent high-intensity recovery training. With her support, she could indeed test it.

Gipsy Danger's massive body began to stride forward, then ran towards Tresspasser, each step creating a huge splash.

Tresspasser roared, launching a counter-charge, colliding heavily with Gipsy Danger. Unsurprisingly, Gipsy Danger's massive body rolled over from Tresspasser's impact, and was then sent flying by Tresspasser, who used the inertia to slam into it, before crashing heavily into the water.

Tresspasser, who had taken two punches from Gipsy Danger, was unharmed, as if it had been punched by ants.

As Tresspasser tried to rush up to finish the job, a giant beam of light from the side staggered it, leaving a patch of charred black on its skin. Its hammerhead shark-like head suddenly swept towards the direction of the beam, and another three-eyed Jaeger, its right arm undergoing a complex series of twisting and changing parts, was transforming from a dim muzzle back into a mechanical hand.

Roar!

Tresspasser roared angrily, the huge sonic wave setting off a surging wave. Then, its massive body twisted in the seawater, turning towards Gipsy Danger with a dexterity that did not match its size, and charged towards Gipsy Danger piloted by Mako Mori.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Explode!"

Mako Mori silently counted down. Just as Tresspasser was about to pounce and press Gipsy Danger under its body, Mako Mori piloted Gipsy Danger to take two steps back, and then dozens of golden pillars of light shot up from the water below Tresspasser, striking it in a dense formation in Tresspasser's horrified eyes.

Energy Mine!

Releasing high-density energy constraints in the form of light spheres, which generate extremely powerful pillars of light when they explode. Any brave person who dares to stand under the pillars of light of an Energy Mine explosion will be bombarded into dust by the high-density energy pillars.

Mako Mori switched to hand cannon mode before Gipsy Danger charged, but she first released a dozen or so Energy Mines around herself, and then supported Gipsy Danger with ion beam cannons.

"Did it hurt it?"

Stacker, who had been monitoring the battle from the PPDC, looked at Tresspasser, who was screaming after eating more than a dozen Energy Mines, and asked Gottlieb nervously.

"It hurt it," Gottlieb's words made Stacker's face light up, but the next second, Gottlieb, with a bitter face, continued in despair: "Its vital signs have fluctuated and decreased, but it has not been injured to the vitals. With the Kaiju's vitality, these injuries will only make it more violent. Preliminary assessment, Tresspasser's cortex is very thick, and very elastic and energy-resistant. Neither Gipsy Danger's physical attacks nor Gipsy Danger's energy attacks have been able to cause it fatal damage!

If we only rely on fists, I don't think we can defeat it."

"Damn it!"

"If there are no accidents, this should be the most perfect Kaiju we have ever seen. It has almost no weaknesses. High lethality, high flexibility, high defense, and even, according to the combat data sent back by Mako Mori, it has a certain degree of intelligence," Gottlieb gritted his teeth: "It is probably the kind of nightmare we never want to face, the most difficult opponent."

"Eureka Striker requests to engage. Let us go help Crimson Typhoon and the others. Let's solve the two Category 4 Kaiju first, and then focus on solving Tresspasser," Herc Hansen suddenly spoke in the communication channel. The battle had been going on for a dozen or twenty minutes, but their partners in front were fighting fiercely and dangerously, but they could only watch from afar, which made him a little dissatisfied.

"Herc, you need to know that we always need a high-performance mech to carry out the final plan. We don't have the time and money to build new Jaeger mechs," Stacker Pentecost said in a heavy tone.

"I know, but if we fail to stop them this time, I don't think the plan can be implemented. This attack is extraordinary, whether it is Tresspasser or the other two Category 4 Kaiju, they are not ordinary Kaiju. They are stronger! Smarter! They even know tactical cooperation! Obviously, the Drift has made the Precursors anxious," Herc Hansen said.

"Are you going to disobey orders?" Stacker asked.

"You know, opportunities are fleeting," Herc Hansen and his son Chuck Hansen looked at each other, started Eureka Striker, and ran towards Cherno Alpha's battlefield.

...

"Where is Dr. Luke?" Stacker Pentecost slammed the table heavily and asked.

"He should still be in the mech base's repair factory," Gottlieb said.

"Please ask him to come over! As the designer and manufacturer of the sixth-generation Gipsy Danger, I want to ask him, facing the Category 5 Kaiju Tresspasser, does Gipsy Danger have a chance of winning?" Stacker Pentecost said seriously: "If Gipsy Danger can solve Tresspasser with the help of Gipsy Danger and other Jaeger mechs, then we don't need to take the last step."

"What if it can't?" After Gottlieb asked, he realized he had asked a stupid question.

"If it can't, find a way to lure them away. I will ask it to eat the big guy in the base," Stacker Pentecost said fiercely.

"A nuclear bomb can't solve this thing."

Luke Field, who was brought over, looked at the Tresspasser on the projection screen, picking on the weak and looking for opportunities to attack Gipsy Danger, disassembling its parts, and almost dismembering Gipsy Danger several times, and whispered after hearing Stacker's plan. This is a Category 5 Kaiju that can withstand a nuclear bomb without dying just by relying on its defense.

"Then can Gipsy Danger handle Tresspasser?" Stacker Pentecost looked at Luke Field.

"If the pilot is good enough," Luke Field replied, then shrugged: "Don't worry, as the designer and manufacturer of Gipsy Danger, this is not its limit. What's more, I also applied for some better things before I came here."

"Better things?" Stacker chewed twice.

"Because some are sensitive, you need to apply before using them. But I took the fast track. They should also know the situation here now. The possibility of approval is still very high," Luke Field said contentedly.

Although he had been busy these past few years since he came here, he had been very fulfilled. Now the consumption of dimensional energy is faster than he imagined. He is about to leave this world soon. For a time, Luke felt a little reluctant. After all, in this world, he can spend other people's money to do his own research, upgrade himself, and there are at least two major countries behind him that, if not wholeheartedly supporting him, will respond to suitable projects. Give people if they need people, give money if they need money, and give support if they need support.

Here, Luke can research whatever he wants and verify whatever technology he wants, as long as it does not exceed the technological limits of this world.

Here, no superhero or supervillain will suddenly jump out, and there will be no dimensional demons or Infinity Stones that do not make sense, disrupting his research and upgrade plans.

Here, there are only Kaiju.

The past few years of activity in this world, when he returns for settlement, I'm afraid he will gain more than five years of upgrading in the main world!

Of course, the countries of this world will not lose out either. Although Luke Field has wasted a lot of resources here doing his own research and upgrading, he has also left a considerable amount of technological products and technological reserves to this world.

A communication connected to the PPDC's contact channel. A stern-faced man appeared on the projection.

"Dr. Luke, your application has been approved," the man said to Luke Field.

"Thank you, I thought I'd have to wait another hour or so," Luke Field shrugged.

"What is it?" Stacker Pentecost frowned, watching the communication disconnect.

"Just a space-based particle cannon, but I prefer to call it a satellite ray," Luke Field began operating on the PPDC's system.

PS: Should be able to finish this arc tomorrow...
