After Mako Mori died in the movie, although the committee convened an emergency meeting and approved the drone Jaeger deployment plan, without Mako Mori presiding over it, the meeting clearly would not have been brief.
Moreover, after returning to the base, they had spent some time analyzing the incomplete information Mako Mori had sent and identifying the Northland Islands. Gipsy Danger would definitely arrive at the Northland Islands later than he did now.
And after launching its attack in Sydney, Obsidian Fury obviously could not reach the Northland Islands in a short time.
As an illegal Jaeger, Obsidian Fury could not openly use transport helicopters, much less pass through China and Russia. Therefore, there was only one way for it to reach the Northland Islands!
Just as it had shown when arriving and leaving—swim back!
Obsidian Fury resembled Gipsy Danger in many ways. It could be called an enhanced imitation of Gipsy Danger, so it surely had the foot thrusters Gipsy Danger was equipped with.
Although these thrusters could not let it fly directly through the air, they could enable short airborne leaps and acceleration. Used for propulsion, they were far more powerful than any submarine or ship.
Obsidian Fury's streamlined form had clearly been designed specifically for traveling through water. In uninhabited waters, it could speed across the surface like a ship. With its shape and formidable power, its speed across the sea could definitely rival those incredibly fast jet boats.
In the movie, even though Gipsy Danger had been transported by heavy-lift helicopters the entire way and had traveled almost entirely in a straight line, stopping only briefly at Moyulan Base, Obsidian Fury had still reached the Northland Islands only slightly later than Gipsy Danger, launching missiles to destroy the factory before Jack could uncover its truth.
