Once upon a time, we looked up at the stars and felt our own insignificance. Looking at the twinkling stars, we always thought that there would be aliens there, and even imagined that aliens would land on the earth from space.
However, everyone was wrong. Aliens opened a space tunnel connecting different dimensions in the gap between the two plates under the Pacific Ocean, and sent monsters into our world.
On August 11, 2013, a wormhole opened deep in the Pacific Ocean, triggering a 7.1-magnitude earthquake in San Francisco. The first Kaiju beast landed in San Francisco, almost destroying the entire city.
It took six days of indiscriminate bombing by planes, tanks, and missiles before the monster was struck. By then, the monster had advanced 35 miles, destroyed three cities, and claimed tens of thousands of lives.
In this battle, the military used three nuclear bombs to eliminate it. However, the environmental problems caused by the nuclear bomb explosion were irreparable. In addition, after the monster died, the highly toxic blood called "poison blue" contaminated the entire battle.
As a result, San Francisco became a barren land.
People mourned the dead and commemorated the disaster. The monster that emerged from the Pacific Ocean was named "Axe", and the day when the disaster occurred was named K-DAY.
I originally thought that things would end like this, but six months later, on February 5, 1014, the second monster "Chaos" invaded Manila, Philippines, and humans were forced to use nuclear weapons again to eliminate the monster.
On June 1, 2014, the third invasion. ‘Kasip’ attacked Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and still used nuclear bombs to solve the problem.
However, 'Kasip' was the first monster to leave a complete corpse, and humans used an aircraft carrier to tow it away for study.
September 2, 2014. In the fourth invasion, the "Cutter" attacked Sydney. The Australian military diverted the cutter away from Sydney and used two nuclear bombs to eliminate it.
"The whole world is grateful for the dedication of you and your men, but it is over. We authorize you to take all remaining hunters to the last mecha base 'Shattered Dome' and prepare you for the next eight months
funding until the monster wall is successfully built..."
The Echo Saber's belly was cut by the impact, and the severe pain caused by synaesthesia made the mecha hunter helplessly let go of his hand.
The mecha hunters who cooperated closely, each aimed at the other and fired, hitting all the anti-monster shells on the Kaiju beast.
"Let me kill this guy!"
Kaijumon bucked up like a carp, and forcibly twisted its body in the hands of Echo Saber. Its hard dorsal fin stretched out, like a rotating blade, and cut towards Echo Saber.
"I realized it! Every time a hunter falls, it's my pilot who dies! So I make one last request..."
"New monster, level four. Codename virus! It is heading to Sydney..."
Sterk took out a small box from his pocket, which contained his anti-cancer medicine. As the pilot of the first-generation mecha 'Tango Wolf', Sterk had enough of the poor cockpit protection.
Radiation caused by the power system.
Taking out the capsule from the box, Sterk swallowed it hard and said: "We don't need them! We can do it ourselves..."
The Vulcan Ghost's left arm was ripped open by the virus's mandible spikes, destroying the diesel engine inside.
"This is the final decision..."
Kaijumon fell into the sea, and blue blood seeped out around it, polluting the marine environment.
The Vulcan ghost looked at the calm sea, fisted his hands in front of his chest and made a sound, then swung his right arm in a circle and slammed it down towards the sea.
The war bell suddenly rang, and the entire base began to act frantically under the urging of the alarm. Everyone arrived at their posts skillfully, waiting for orders.
The miracle line is also the final bottom line.
The Kaijumon's struggle stirred up the gravel on the bottom of the sea, and the turbid seawater blocked the sight of the mecha hunter. The Echo Saber could only rely on the sense of touch brought by synaesthesia to barely fix the 'virus'.
Politicians did not let Steck finish his words; they interrupted him one after another.
As a fourth-generation mecha, the Echo Saber naturally has a special move. The back of its shoulders begins to open, and the heavy artillery is transferred from the back to the shoulders.
The Kaiju Beast in the water stirred the water to drive itself, bursting out with greater power. Moreover, its smooth skin reduced the friction of the Echo Saber's grip.
This huge defeat caused the funds planned to sponsor Mecha Hunters to be used on the "Monster Wall" project in the Pacific Rim residential area.
"Project Hunter has been terminated! General. On the other hand, the wall-building plan along the coastline is a more effective option!"
In just two years, there were four monster invasions. People began to realize that the monster invasions would not stop, and humans needed their own 'monsters' to resist the invasion.
Regardless of waiting for charging to be completed, Vulcan Ghost fired several plasma cannonballs in front of the Echo Saber.
Even the long spikes on the mandibles of the 'virus' caused damage to the Vulcan ghost. The collision between steel and flesh, the hardened horn finally won.
And now the commander of the PPDC, General Sterk Penticost, is being ruthlessly forced to accept the news.
"Order the Vulcan Ghost and Echo Saber to meet the enemy outside the Miracle Line, and the Eureka Raiders will be on standby inside the wall!"
Today's monsters have been classified as level four in terms of energy level, but the Vulcan Ghost is still a level three mecha produced eight years ago.
The helicopter transporting the mecha did not leave. They circled around the mecha, constantly searching the seabed with sonar to provide directions to the mecha hunters.
Even if Sterk tried all his connections, he could only pick up six mechas for Shattered Dome.
The personnel of Broken Dome are unprecedentedly strong. After all, the other seven bases have been closed, and they can only gather in this last mecha base.
"Fire all bombs!"
Everyone knows the current situation of PPDC. In a few months, everyone in this base will be useless. The future of tens of thousands of people and the future of the mecha hunters are all on Steck.
On May 15, 2016, the Kaijumon "Devil Witch" invaded Tokyo. Although his comrades were sacrificed, Sterk drove the "Tango Wolf" alone to defeat the Kaijumon and adopted Mori Mako, whose parents both died.
Cai Tiantong's voice sounded in the mecha pilot's headset, and he kept reminding the Kaiju Beast's location.
Echo Saber called Vulcan Ghost on the channel: "Vulcan Ghost, prepare Vulcan Cannon!"
So in the same year, the 'Pacific Rim Coalition' PPDC was formally established, and a giant mecha project specifically designed to fight against monsters was born - the Hunter Project, and those monsters were also named 'Kaiju Beasts'.
Cai Tiantong, chief technology officer of PPDC who witnessed the news, said in disbelief: "Is it over like this?"
Sterk quickly headed to the command room. The moment the technical officer in the middle, Cai Tiantong, saw Sterk, he began to loudly report the invasion data.
Throwing his arms and punching, Vulcan Ghost's steel fist hit the 'Virus' head. Before the fist could be retracted, Vulcan Ghost's other hand lifted the hand from bottom to top, and its iron arm cut open the sea surface.
The 'virus' beats the surface of the sea.
For a time, humans could officially fight against these monsters from the depths of the Pacific, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
The politicians in front of Sterk couldn't wait to turn off the communication screen, and Sterk's angry face was reflected on the black screen.
The plasma evaporated the seawater and burned Kaijumon's body, providing cover for the Echo Saber. The damaged Echo Saber used this to distance itself from Kaijumon.
Cherno Alpha, Eureka Raider, Storm Crimson, Vulcan Specter, Echo Saber, plus the Dangerous Wanderer that is being repaired, these six mechas have become humanity's last line of defense.
Mako Mori, as Sterk's secretary and also as her adopted daughter, is following Sterk closely, reporting to him on the affairs of the base.
The Vulcan Ghost held the Vulcan cannon with both hands, and the plasma at the muzzle was fully charged. For safety reasons, the Vulcan cannon that can kill the enemy remotely is the best choice now. In case the monster pretends to be dead, there were people who did it before.
This has paid a price.
How to catch a fish in the water with bare hands? The Echo Saber faces this problem.
"The enemy is three nautical miles to the northeast of you...two nautical miles...be prepared to engage the enemy!"
After these eight months, Sterk Penticost will become an underground worker.
In the Pacific Rim region, with Hong Kong as its headquarters, eight mecha bases have been set up in Tokyo, Sydney, Vladivostok, Alaska and other places.
Upon seeing this, Echo Saber transformed into a long knife from its left arm. As a mecha that once belonged to Tokyo Base, Echo Saber also has a set of spinning knife chain slashing moves.
As for its comrade Echo Saber, it is better than Vulcan Ghost and is a level four mecha. But it is also an old guy from seven years ago.
The frequency of monster invasions is becoming more and more frequent, and their sizes are getting larger and larger. In 2024 alone, there were 14 invasion incidents and 8 mechas were destroyed.
Herc Hansen, the driver of the Eureka Raider and one of the generals of the PPDC, said sarcastically: "Wearing suits and leather shoes, talking sweetly and carrying swords, that's what they are, Sterk..."
Both attacks hit the 'Virus' head. However, Kaijumon 'Virus''s head, like a sunfish, used its thick cuticle to withstand the Vulcan Ghost's attack.
Kaijumon 'Virus' is sneaking under the sea, trying to sneak up on the ghost of Vulcan.
Before the 'Virus' could react, the Echo Saber, who had been waiting for a long time, came to help. He grabbed the 'Virus' and pinned it firmly to the bottom of the sea.
The Shattered Dome may really be broken...
But at the same time, everyone knows that Mecha Hunters have no future. Once the monster wall is built, PPDC will be useless.
Having said that, PPDC's seven mecha sites were closed, leaving only the Broken Dome in Hong Kong, and those mechas were either decommissioned or destroyed.
In December 2014, the 'Ponce System' for human-machine linkage was officially developed, but Air Force Captain Casey Adam was unable to withstand the neural overload caused by the system and died immediately. Later, the two pilots' brain nerves were synchronized through drift communication.
The successful development of the sensory system allows humans to truly control their own monsters.
The politician on the screen said ruthlessly: "Hunters are no longer the most effective line of defense!"
Half of the name of the Vulcan Ghost comes from the weapons it is equipped with. Its hands can transform and fire energy cannons. The high-heat plasma will burn and penetrate the Kaijumon's body. However, the plasma cannot be fired at long distances, which makes the fire
God Ghost's Vulcan Cannon can only be killed with one hit after defeating Kaijumon with fists, or like now, allowing teammates to create opportunities.
Sterk Penticost wanted to break his head, but he didn't think about how to solve the monster crisis. As early as 2016, PPDC used nuclear bombs to attack the wormhole at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, but no matter what, the artillery fire would be bounced off the wormhole entrance.
.
In the era of monster invasion, the ten-mile coastal defense line outside each coastline was called the Miracle Line. If the monsters were not stopped outside this line, the residents along the coast could only pray for a miracle.
In just a few seconds of change, the Vulcan cannon in Vulcan Ghost's hand has just completed its transformation.
After receiving the order to attack, the entire Broken Dome began to take action. Each eight super helicopters with the same appearance as the Chinook helicopter hoisted thousands of tons of Mecha Hunters and headed for the Miracle Line outside Australia.
Vulcan Ghost and Echo Saber were placed outside the Miracle Line, waiting for the upcoming monsters.
Since the first invasion, the monsters have been continuously upgraded, and the mechas have also been upgraded. However, the upgrade speed of the mecha hunters is far from keeping up with the Kaiju beasts.
Standing beside the Vulcan Ghost with a knife, the Echo Saber serves as a cover for the Vulcan Ghost to prevent the enemy from cheating.
The sound of plasma charging being completed sounded, and the hot plasma shells were fired towards the 'virus'.
Just when everyone thought it was about to end, the 'virus' suddenly moved and retreated quickly towards the rear.
