The breach. Two or more worlds interconnected by one single strand of existence. Some have called it a wormhole, others, Magic. No one really knows for sure.
On one side, Earth. Home of humanity and its many achievements, and failures. On the other, the Precursors. Conquerors, Lords, traveling from one world to the next in search of resources. Some places they will wait for centuries before invading, Waiting for the right moment to strike.
Earth, has been their most recent target. However unlike most worlds they conquer, Earth, is resisting. Their great machines continue to hinder their progress, and they have decided to start sending in their Elites.
However, they are not the only ones with an eye for conquest…

With the first of the Jaegers falling, pilots were needed now more than ever. Hunter Green and Shade Royal were two young men who had volunteered to become pilots. Both at the age of seventeen, had graduated the Jaeger training program and were paired up, and given the ability to pilot the Jaeger Diamond Banshee.
Standing at 290 feet tall, and weighing over 7000 tons, this monolith of engineering, alongside its steel brethren, was all that stood between Humanity, and extinction.
With tensions rising, and Jaegers being destroyed and damaged more often, only time would tell how effective these great machines would be...

"Warning: Category four kaiju emerging from the breach" said a computerized female voice.
"WHAT!? A category four!? There's no way! We've never fought something that big before!" Shade yelled. Recently, category four Kaiju had been coming through the breach, causing massive amounts of damage to Jaegers, and even destroying several.
Shade Royal, a young seventeen-year-old Jaeger pilot. Younger than all other pilots except his partner, Hunter Green.
"Would the pilots for Diamond Banshee please prepare for drop." said the computerized voice.
"Oh great! We're gonna be the ones fighting that thing." Hunter exclaimed sarcastically. Hunter was Caucasian, with tanned white skin standing about 6'2" with a strong build, he wore a green T-shirt and blue jeans as well as tennis shoes. And for whatever reason, he had short, naturally dark, almost black, green hair.
"Hey, at least this isn't our first drop!" Shade remarked. Shade was smaller and more pale compared to Hunter. He stood about 5'11" and wore a near identical outfit to Hunter except for the fact he wore a black shirt instead of green, he also had blue hair, the reason for this was the fact that he dyed it, as his natural hair color was stark white.
Hunter and Shade quickly walked towards the hanger to get suited up. Their armor was cyan in color, with the Jaeger programs symbol on the shoulder pads. Walking into the cockpit of the Jaeger, they immediately started chatting.
"Hey, twenty bucks says we take this thing down in less than five minutes," Shade said as he started to hook up to the rigging.
"Oh you are on! I say we can do under three!" Hunter said back.
"Hahaha! We'll see my friend." Shade remarked.
"Pilot to pilot protocol initiating," said a voice. "Establishing neural link."
Hunter and Shades minds started to fuse together. Two minds controlling a massive steel body. But something was off.
[-]
"Are they ready?" Marshall Pentecost asked. He was brown skinned, was about 5'10" and wore a rather stylish black military suit and tie.
"As ready as they'll ever be." Tendo, the Jaeger command assist, responded.
The door to the command room suddenly opened rather quickly; "Wait! I want see this!" A woman with black hair, wearing cargo pants and a military vest over a white shirt said as she entered the room.
"Miss Shepherd, I would appreciate it if you would come here in advance to see your nephew launch before we are seconds away from said launch?" The Marshall stated.
"Sorry Stacker, got held up with my designs." She responded.
"Summer, You are the only person I know who can be so caught up in her work, she might actually miss a bomb going off."
"Actually, that already happened."
"Please don't remind me." He said ending their banter.
"We are ready for launch." Tendo announced.
However, One of the monitor's no one was paying attention to beeped with a message showing: 'warning, neural handshake is in jeopardy. Interference detected.'
But as nobody had used that station in years, it goes unnoticed.
Within seconds, Shade and Hunter were thrown into the drift. Memories between two sentient beings, minds melding, sharing thoughts. It wasn't necessarily a smooth ride.
The two of the pilots soon jolted out of the initial drift, and back into reality.
"I am never going to get used to that." Shade stated.
"Ah, get over it" Hunter said.
"You boys ready?" They heard Tendo say over the radio.
"You know we are. Hey, you know if Shade's aunt installed anything new?" Hunter asked.
"Don't think so, but I'm not the one in command of all the Jaeger weaponry."
"True enough my friend, true enough."
"I'll ask her when we get back," Shade offered.
"Yeah, you do that. You'll probably be caught in that room for days listening to her rant on about her projects." Hunter argued.
"Oh please."
Diamond Banshee was carried by multiple helicopters towards the location of the kaiju.
"Listen up kids, this is a category four kaiju, first you've ever fought, I suggest you be careful." the Marshall said through the radio.
"Yeah, yeah. We hear you Marshall, But don't expect us to hold back." Hunter responded.
The helicopters disconnect them about half a mile from the target. Strait into a thick gray fog. And Diamond Banshee disappeared into it.
"You see him?" Hunter asked.
"Nope, it's too bad it's so foggy though. Would have liked some clear weather." Shade stated.
"Movement on our left." Hunter stated, turning his head in the direction of a black object moving through the mist.
"Any idea where he went?" Shade asked. And he immediately knew the answer to that question as out of the mist an unusually small, black kaiju jumped up to try and claw at Diamond Banshee.
"Control what kind of kaiju is that!" Hunter yelled. Static. "Control! Marshall! What the heck is going on!"
"I think we're I on our own!" Shade said, noticing the lack of response, "Come on let's send this thing back where it came from!"
[-]
"Banshee! Banshee do you copy!" Stacker called over the radio.
"No response sir!" Tendo announced.
"Tendo, what's going on!?"
"Now idea sir, all we've got is low quality video feed coming through." Tendo stated.
Stacker slammed his fist on the table, clearly frustrated.
"See what you can do, and get that video feed up on the big screen!" stacker ordered.
[-]
Diamond Banshee quickly tried a jab at the black kaiju, only for it to dodge with incredible speed.
"This thing moves fast! We gotta be faster!" Hunter said. Shade nodded and got ready for what came next.
One thing they did not expect was for a second, smaller kaiju to jump on they're back!
"What!? since when have there been two kaiju!?" Hunter exclaimed.
The second kaiju resembled a large almost lizard like figure. The first kaiju, similar in look to the second, Tried to claw at the head of the Jaeger. Managing to break through the protective shield between them and the pilots.
"They've breached the hull! We have to-" Hunter was cut off as soon as the first kaiju drove its claw into the right arm of the Jaeger.
Hunter screamed in pain as the arm was ripped clean off. "I'm gonna kill this-" this time Shade was cut of by the sound of the Jaegers left fist grabbing the second kaijus arm and yanking it off it's back and throwing it onto the first.
It was clear that Hunter was in a lot of pain. His right arm was limp and his face was contorted in pain.
"Sorry Marshall," Shade said as he pressed a button activating something. A message came up on the screen saying 'plasma ion cannon active.'
Diamond Banshee's left arm transformed into a glowing blue 'tesla cannon' as his aunt had dubbed it.
The kaiju had now gotten themselves untangled, and were ready to tear the Jaeger apart. Only for one of them to get shot in the head twice by a blue blast coming from the Jaeger, killing the kaiju instantly.
The remaining kaiju let out a screech at the Jaeger before leaping onto it, tearing at its abdomen.
Both Hunter and Shade let out cries of pain while the kaiju clawed at the Jaeger.
Shade with whatever strength he had left managed to get the arm cannon pointed right beneath the Kaiju's jaw. Unfortunately, this also happened to be mere feet from the opening in the cockpit.
Without thinking, Shade fired. Then everything went black.

"Sir! Plasma discharge off the coast near Banshee's position!" Tendo announced.
"Are they alright?" Stacker asked.
"I'm not sure sir, all signatures have gone dark. I'm trying to get them back as fast as I can." Tendo stated.
Stacked backed up in shock. And turned to his partner. Who had her hands covering her face. The map showed no blips, no sign of the Jaegers signature.
"No signal sir." Tendo announced, worry in his voice, "What do we do?"
Stacker grimaced "Send out some recovery teams, find out what happened." he ordered. He turned to Summer, putting a hand on her shoulder, "We'll find them."

A/N: As some of you may have noticed that there are a few things different about this chapter than when you first read it, or perhaps if you are reading this for the first time, thanks for reading! I'm going through and overhauling these chapters, as there are multiple continuity errors along with several spelling mistakes… that's what these are for.
Aside from that, I hope y'all enjoy the story!
