"Mr. Kaiser! Save them!"
Stacker turned urgently to Kaiser.
In mere seconds, Cherno Alpha had taken severe damage.
Dangerous Wanderer's deployment would take time.
By the time it reached the battlefield, all three Jaegers could be lost.
The command room's staff looked at Stacker and Kaiser, confused.
What could Kaiser do against such colossal beasts?
"Two chances left."
"I won't kill these monsters outright."
"I'll leave them for Raleigh and Mako to handle."
With that, Kaiser's figure vanished.
"Someone's in the sky?"
"Is that…?"
"Mr. Kaiser?"
The base's backup power restored minimal functions.
The command room's screens flickered back on.
They showed Cherno Alpha's first-person view.
All eyes locked onto Kaiser, floating in the sky.
Golden light wreathed his body.
His dark hair flowed in the wind.
His eyes, devoid of emotion, gazed at the two Kaiju below.
Otachi and Leatherback seemed to sense an immense threat.
Instinctively, they retreated swiftly.
Terror replaced their savage glares.
"The Kaiju are retreating!"
The command room erupted, eyes wide with disbelief.
"General."
"Mr. Kaiser?"
Tendo looked at Stacker, his voice hesitant.
"In human terms, he's probably a god."
Stacker watched Kaiser in the sky, his expression complex.
A god had appeared!
In a world on the brink of ruin, devoid of hope.
A god had truly descended.
Hum…
Golden light spread.
The wind stilled, the rain ceased, the clouds parted.
Starlight, long absent, shone above.
Kaiser raised a hand.
A golden longsword appeared in his grip.
One of the Libra Gold Cloth's weapons.
Though a shortsword in form, its length could be freely adjusted with Cosmo.
A single, gentle swing.
A golden curtain of light sliced into the sea.
BOOM!!!
A soundless roar.
"The sea… parted…"
The command room's screens displayed a miraculous sight.
The ocean split under Kaiser's sword.
"It's not an exaggeration at all."
"That kind of power."
Stacker's heart pounded.
A sword that parted the sea!
What level of strength was that?
And Kaiser made it look effortless.
No wonder he said his power was too great, limited to three actions.
Stacker had no doubt.
Kaiser could obliterate the earth's surface with a single strike.
Such a being was worthy of the title Heroic Spirit.
"Hope has arrived."
Stacker realized the chance to end it all had come.
Seize this, and Earth could be saved for good.
Resolve the invasion once and for all.
"Are you kidding me?!"
The Hansens, Crimson Typhoon's triplets, and Cherno Alpha's couple were the most shocked.
They witnessed it firsthand.
Standing in their Jaegers, they saw the sea split.
A golden curtain of light soared to the heavens.
The Kaiju, trapped on the other side, radiated fear.
For the first time, they saw terror in a Kaiju's eyes.
"So, you can feel fear too…"
That was their visceral reaction.
As the group stood stunned, Dangerous Wanderer was deployed to the battlefield.
"A miracle."
Mako stared at the parted sea, lost in awe.
"Indeed. I never doubted him."
"But now, it's our fight."
"Ready?"
Raleigh looked at Mako.
"Ready!"
Mako nodded.
Dangerous Wanderer was launched.
"It's up to you now."
Kaiser's voice reached Raleigh and Mako's minds as he watched Dangerous Wanderer.
"Got it!"
The two locked eyes, their gazes resolute.
Hum!
Telekinesis spread.
Kaiser lifted the three Jaegers.
Moving them toward the Shatterdome.
"Quick! Prepare to receive the three Jaegers."
"I want them combat-ready in the shortest time possible."
Stacker Pentecost watched the returning Jaegers.
He issued urgent orders.
The base sprang into frenzied action.
Whoosh…
Kaiser reappeared in the command room.
"Thank you, sir."
Stacker took a deep breath, expressing his gratitude.
"No need for formalities."
"Three chances, as agreed."
"Now, let's see how they perform."
Kaiser replied with a smile.
Though it was their first neural link and battle, Raleigh Becket and Mako Mori's coordination was seamless.
Dangerous Wanderer unleashed formidable power in their hands.
Leatherback's electromagnetic pulse organ was forcibly torn out.
Its plasma cannon fired relentlessly.
The chain sword slashed back and forth.
Perhaps due to Kaiser's intimidation, the Kaiju seemed panicked.
Dangerous Wanderer dominated them.
Soon, both Kaiju lay dead at its hands.
"Scared witless by Kaiser, huh?"
Raleigh marveled silently at the lifeless Kaiju.
A mere gesture from Kaiser had stripped them of their fighting instinct.
They became timid as mice.
Without that, victory would've been pyrrhic.
