Chapter 360

~7 min read 1,321 words

Because of the neural link between pilots, in a state of shared hearts and minds, the closeness is even more intimate than blood relatives.

So mecha partners are either father and son, brothers, or, if of the opposite sex, husband and wife or lovers — without exception.

However, the neural link activated Mako's past,

she grew up on the island nation since childhood, a kaiju attack orphaned her, and at the critical moment it was the Marshal who single-handedly piloted the first-generation mecha "Tango Wolf" to rescue the young Mako.

This crisis left her with a childhood shadow, to the point that she had an episode on the spot and nearly blasted the base away with an ion cannon.

Fortunately, under Raleigh's soothing, Mako regained her senses.

Meanwhile, the biology doctor successfully linked with the kaiju's brain and learned of the kaiju's attack plan.

He needed to head to the black market to find another brain and obtain more information on the kaiju.

But this link was two-way — the kaiju likewise learned the information of the Hong Kong Island base and dispatched several kaiju to attack!

The literary portions Xu Can arranged this time were quite refined, with no long, complicated dialogue; every line carried key information, minimizing the time spent on the literary parts as much as possible.

As for the time saved, naturally it was all left for the battle portions!

What do audiences come to the theater to see? Naturally, mecha fighting kaiju!

Full-course high energy, action and special effects with the big set pieces maxed out!

Just as the plan had yet to be carried out, the base alarm blared — multiple kaiju detected appearing in the waters off Hong Kong Island!

Among them was one that had already locked onto the biology doctor, hoping to grab this neural-linked fellow!

The second act's great battle arrives!

Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon —

the world's only four remaining mecha activate!

Facing the incoming kaiju head-on!

Towed by multiple cargo helicopters, the four colossal mecha arrive at Victoria Harbour and line up in a row!

What was once a tourist attraction has become a perilous battlefield!

Four steel giants stand at the front, guarding the countless lives behind them!

"Here they come, here they come!"

"Cooooo1! Way too watered down!"

"HellYeah!! Fight!"

"ComeOn!!"

Facing the impending fierce battle, the audience inside the theater all got excited!

The opening fifteen minutes of mecha battle were just a warm-up; at the film's one-hour mark, the real show finally arrived!

First up, Cherno Alpha!

Four kaiju "Tailstander Rats" launch a sneak attack from the water!

Height 63 meters, weight 2,690 tons, speed 8, strength 6, armor 7, highly toxic!

The giant beasts bit straight onto Cherno Alpha's arm right at the start!

They seemed to have obtained intelligence from the earlier drift link — every attack was quite cunning!

Fortunately, Cherno Alpha's defense was astonishing, stubbornly withstanding the kaiju's biting,

a heavy left elbow strike forced the kaiju to Songkou, then clamped its neck, while a heavy right fist smashed into the kaiju's face!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Every punch's impact felt quite heavy; the Dolby 5.1 surround sound made every seat in the theater tremble!

"We'll handle this son of a bitch!"

Over the radio, the Russian couple's Russian was quite domineering!

They really did have the ability to take on four kaiju solo! Soviet-style iron fists are no pushovers!

But!

This attack was carefully planned by the kaiju — another Category 4 monster "Knifehead" suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind!

A monster like Jin Gang, 81 meters tall, 2,900 tons!

It leapt from the water and rode onto Cherno Alpha's neck, raining down heavy blows!

The Tailstander Rats simultaneously spewed acid, the strong acid instantly corroding the mecha's armor rated 10!

"Hold on! We're here!"

Huaxia's domestically produced mecha Crimson Typhoon, entering the fray!

Because the protagonist Raleigh's "Gipsy Danger" was not yet fully prepared, it stayed on standby at the base;

the only Category 5 mecha "Striker Eureka" held the rear, as they bore the crucial mission of carrying the nuclear bomb and were not allowed to take too many risks.

Only the other two mecha could fight, resisting the kaiju's attack.

Now it's 2v2, the combat power of the two mecha is no problem, more than enough to handle it!

Striker Eureka did not act for the time being, because this was Crimson Typhoon's stage!

Thanks to Xu Can's "special attention," Crimson Typhoon received more showcase opportunities in the new version of "Pacific Rim."

They used their agility of 9 to leap high into the air!

Grabbing Knifehead mid-air, using the inertial force of a flip, they forcibly ripped the monster down and slammed it heavily into the sea!

Boom!

Having just entered the scene and rescued Cherno Alpha with acrobatic means, Crimson Typhoon drew a wave of cheers from the audience!

"Cool!!"

"So satisfying!"

And it wasn't over yet — Crimson Typhoon's left-hand ion cannon fired, blasting Knifehead's joints and pinning it down in the sea!

In the next instant, he switched the chainsaw in his hand and unleashed a barrage on the monster in the water!

"Thundercloud Formation!"

The three arms carved through the Ridgeback Turtle like chopping vegetables, nearly dismembering it!

Meanwhile, Noah Alpha was still fighting the Tailstand Mouse, and it looked as if the human mecha was about to gain the upper hand!

Suddenly, the fourth monster "Shrike Spike" burst out of the water again!

Begging for flowers

Speed 5, Defense 6, Strength 8! Its whole body was covered in sharp scales like blades,

It rose up to launch a sneak attack on Crimson Typhoon!

At the critical moment, Crimson Typhoon detected the danger and fired its back thrusters! 【】

Hands bracing against the Ridgeback Turtle, it pushed up into a handstand to dodge Shrike Spike's ambush; after landing, its waist twisted 180 degrees to face the enemy head-on!

Little Red first switched to the electromagnetic cannon to bombard Shrike Spike, poking from range,

At the same time, its leg suddenly delivered a gorgeous spinning kick, sending the just-risen Ridgeback Turtle flying back into the sea with one stomp!

"Holy Shit!!!"

"Oh my god! That's so cool!"

The entire audience was stunned; Crimson Typhoon was like a war god, 1v2-ing without giving an inch!

Whether in melee or ranged combat, it handled everything perfectly, and each of the three arms did its own job, holding its own against the two monsters' pincer attack with ease!

The key was that every move in the fight was so damn cool!

Clearly, mecha were supposed to look cumbersome in motion, but Crimson Typhoon found the perfect balance between the mecha's weight and agility!

No matter what country the audience was from, at this moment they all fell deeply in love with this flashy red mecha!

The outstanding performance of Huaxia-made mecha seemed to be deeply branded into people's hearts.

Unfortunately, the monsters had already gathered intel on the mecha; even though Little Red had the ability to 1v2, it still couldn't withstand the sneak attacks.

The fourth monster "White Snake" was an assassin skilled at lurking!

It had waited a long time, all for this moment!

When the other two monsters pinned down Little Red, White Snake swiftly burrowed out to ambush, going straight for Crimson Typhoon's cockpit!

The Tang brothers hadn't even had time to react before it pierced straight through the cockpit, and they collapsed lifelessly into the sea!

"Oh!! Nooooo!!"

Everyone felt a pang of regret over Crimson Typhoon's fate.

The great battle just now had clearly shown such overwhelming strength, but a 1v3 was still too much to ask of anyone.

Fortunately, most of Crimson Typhoon's body remained intact, so it could continue fighting in the sequel.

Although Noah Alpha had used its warhammer to finish off the Tailstand Mouse, the other three monsters rushed over to attack.
