Chapter Summaries

Chen Mo put Gipsy Danger through an increasingly nimble combat test at Moyulan Base, stunning the staff with its performance. The Jaeger was then airlifted toward Siberia, while Chen Mo studied its technical files and excited crowds watched it pass over cities.

• Chen Mo practiced with Gipsy Danger, demonstrating rapid attacks and agile movements that astonished Jack, Knight, and the base staff.
• Chen Mo reported that the test run was complete, and General Quan ordered six heavy helicopters to carry Gipsy Danger north.
• The helicopters lifted Gipsy Danger from Moyulan Base and headed toward Siberia as staff watched it disappear into the distance.
• Chen Mo used J.A.R.V.I.S. to study Gipsy Danger's blueprints and specifications, learning its capabilities and weaknesses in detail.
• The helicopters crossed China and Russia at high altitude, and excited crowds watched Gipsy Danger pass over cities.

Chen Mo piloted Gipsy Danger through a blizzard to the abandoned power core factory in the Arctic, expecting an ambush that never came. After arriving safely, he realized he might have overlooked an important detail about when the attack was supposed to happen.

• People across the mainland spotted Gipsy Danger flying overhead and excitedly identified it.
• Chen Mo and the helicopters crossed China and Siberia before reaching the Northland Islands.
• Chen Mo scanned the ice, landed Gipsy Danger safely, and set out toward the abandoned power core factory.
• Chen Mo used Gipsy Danger’s radar and positioning systems to navigate the blizzard while watching for an attack.
• Chen Mo reached the factory without seeing Obsidian Fury and recalled that the Jaeger had ambushed the pilots in the movie.
• Chen Mo reviewed the story and concluded that he had overlooked the timing of the attack.

Chen Mo sent an Iron Man suit to search for Obsidian Fury as it swam from Sydney toward the Northland Islands. After J.A.R.V.I.S. detected its approach, Chen Mo headed across the ice field toward its landing route, and Obsidian Fury burst from the water onto the ice.

• Chen Mo reasoned that Obsidian Fury was crossing the Pacific and Arctic Ocean to reach the Northland Islands.
• Chen Mo released an Iron Man suit, which J.A.R.V.I.S. piloted east to scan the predicted route.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. detected Obsidian Fury approaching from the east and estimated it would land in fifteen minutes.
• Chen Mo learned Obsidian Fury's projected route and walked southeast across the ice field toward it.
• Obsidian Fury burst through the water and charged onto the outer ice shelf of the Northland Islands.

Obsidian Fury reached the Jaeger power core factory too late and confronted Gipsy Danger on the icy plains. Chen Mo dodged its missile barrage and Thermal Ray, then knocked it down with a powerful elbow strike.

• Obsidian Fury arrived at the factory and charged the approaching Jaeger rather than retreating.
• Obsidian Fury fired two barrages of AKM missiles, but Gipsy Danger evaded them.
• Obsidian Fury recognized Gipsy Danger as the Jaeger it had defeated in Sydney and prepared a close-range Thermal Ray attack.
• Chen Mo anticipated the attack, dodged the Thermal Ray, and rushed to Obsidian Fury's side.
• Chen Mo struck Obsidian Fury in the head with a momentum-driven elbow, sending it sliding across the ice.

Chen Mo piloted Gipsy Danger against Obsidian Fury on the Northland Islands, overwhelming it with faster reactions and martial-arts-inspired strikes. After Gipsy Danger hurled Obsidian Fury into a glacier, the villainous Jaeger emerged with blazing plasma Chainsaws deployed.

• Chen Mo waited for Obsidian Fury to rise, then struck its head with a powerful elbow that dented its armor.
• Chen Mo dodged Obsidian Fury's punch and hit its abdomen, then continued attacking with punches, elbows, and a knee strike.
• Gipsy Danger kicked Obsidian Fury hundreds of meters into a glacier, smashing apart a large section of ice.
• Obsidian Fury deployed two enormous Chainsaws wrapped in orange plasma flames.

Chen Mo used Gipsy Danger to outmaneuver Obsidian Fury in a chainsaw duel beneath the glacier. Obsidian Fury was left unable to land a blow as their fight continued beside the ice wall.

• Chen Mo deflected Obsidian Fury’s sweeping chainsaw strikes with Gipsy Danger’s Ion Chain Sword.
• Chen Mo predicted Obsidian Fury’s Flame Chainsaw Scissors and jammed Gipsy Danger’s arm between its elbows, stopping the attack.
• Chen Mo shoved Obsidian Fury backward into the glacier, where its chainsaws became lodged in the ice.
• Chen Mo charged Obsidian Fury again, parrying its attacks as missed strikes shattered the surrounding glacier.

Chen Mo used Obsidian Fury’s Thermal Ray to trigger a glacier collapse and bury the enemy Jaeger. Obsidian Fury survived and began climbing out of the ice, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Chen Mo blocked Obsidian Fury’s Thermal Ray with Gipsy Danger’s Chain Sword and redirected it into the glacier, causing the ice to collapse.
• Chen Mo seized Obsidian Fury’s arm and shoved it against the glacier, forcing its Thermal Ray into the ice and worsening the collapse.
• As a massive slab of ice slid down, Gipsy Danger stomped Obsidian Fury into the glacier and leapt clear before the falling ice buried it.
• The collapse stopped after carving a huge depression in the glacier, and Obsidian Fury disappeared beneath the shattered ice.
• Obsidian Fury fired its Thermal Ray through the ice, blasted open an exit, and began rising from the pile.

Chen Mo used Gipsy Danger to fight Obsidian Fury across the Ice Field, testing its Plasma Cannon and anticipating its surprise attack from beneath the ice. After knocking Obsidian Fury down, he overwhelmed it with repeated strikes, leaving it unable to resist.

• Obsidian Fury survived the collapsing ice with little damage and cut its way out with its arm chainsaws.
• Chen Mo blasted Obsidian Fury back into the ice with Gipsy Danger’s Plasma Cannon and assessed the Jaegers’ ranged weapons.
• Obsidian Fury disappeared beneath the ice and charged toward Gipsy Danger from below.
• Chen Mo anticipated the attack, stepped aside, and kicked Obsidian Fury in the face, sending it crashing into the ice pile.
• Chen Mo grabbed Obsidian Fury and repeatedly smashed its face with Gipsy Danger’s knee until it could no longer resist.

Chen Mo defeated Obsidian Fury, uncovering a dead alien creature inside its cockpit, then returned to the suspicious Power Core Factory to investigate. He left the command center to send helicopters to retrieve the wrecked Jaeger.

• Chen Mo tore open Obsidian Fury's cockpit and found a blue-blooded alien creature that soon died.
• Chen Mo savored the battle and wondered whether his Spatial Ability let him fulfill impossible dreams across different worlds.
• Chen Mo released Obsidian Fury's head and let the ruined Jaeger crash onto the Ice Field.
• Chen Mo scanned the Power Core Factory, found signs that some areas still had power, and told the command center he would investigate while helicopters retrieved Obsidian Fury.
• General Quan and Mako Mori watched the events through Gipsy Danger's video feed and realized Obsidian Fury had appeared in the Northland Islands.

Chen Mo defeated Obsidian Fury with Gipsy Danger, stunning the command center with the vast gap between his piloting skill and Jack and Knight’s. When the cockpit was exposed, the crew discovered a Kaiju had been controlling the Jaeger, and Chen Mo returned to the power core factory before changing out of his pilot suit.

• Chen Mo evaded Obsidian Fury’s missiles and Thermal Ray, then overwhelmed it with Gipsy Danger’s attacks.
• Chen Mo buried Obsidian Fury beneath collapsing ice, evaded its ambush, and crushed its cockpit until it could no longer fight.
• General Quan noticed Mako Mori was less surprised than the others by Chen Mo’s performance and suspected she knew more about him.
• The command center saw a mass of flesh inside Obsidian Fury’s cockpit, and Mako Mori and General Quan recognized it as a Kaiju.
• Chen Mo returned to the power core factory, briefly reconnected communications to request a helicopter, then disconnected his Feedback Cradle and changed into a nano-alloy combat suit.
• Chen Mo stored his pilot suit and let Riot transform into a black casual suit.

Chen Mo discovered that the abandoned power core factory had secretly produced four nuclear power cores, suggesting that three more Obsidian Fury mechs might exist. He returned to Moyulan Base ahead of the transport helicopter, startling the command center before explaining that he had come back because the helicopter was too slow.

• Chen Mo investigated the abandoned factory and used J.A.R.V.I.S. to recover data showing it had produced four nuclear power cores about half a year earlier.
• Chen Mo sent the command center the factory information and images, then flew directly back to Moyulan Base in his Iron Man suit.
• The command center staff realized that four power cores could mean four Obsidian Fury mechs and reacted with concern.
• Chen Mo teleported into the command center, where General Quan and Knight initially prepared to treat him as an intruder.
• Mako Mori identified Chen Mo, and Jack explained to Knight that Chen Mo had used the suit to catch a crashing helicopter in Sydney.
• Mako Mori asked why Chen Mo had returned so quickly, and Chen Mo said the helicopter was too slow.

Chen Mo rested after demonstrating his powers, and Mako Mori revealed his identity as the ancient Guardian of Earth and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to General Quan, Jack, and Knight. The next morning, Dr. Herman discovered that the Kaiju inside Obsidian Fury had been genetically modified on Earth, suggesting it had not come through the Breach.

• Chen Mo put away his Iron Man suit and asked Mako Mori to arrange a room so they could speak the next day.
• Mako Mori told General Quan, Jack, and Knight about S.H.I.E.L.D., Chen Mo’s history, and the alien threats she had seen with Liwen Shao.
• General Quan, Jack, and Knight accepted that Chen Mo was a superpowered being who had secretly protected Earth for over a thousand years.
• The next morning, General Quan ordered Obsidian Fury and its Kaiju corpse examined, but the mech engineers found little beyond Kaiju tissue fused with the systems.
• Dr. Herman identified the corpse as a Kaiju and found that its genetic fingerprint showed it had been modified on Earth using Kaiju tissue left from the war.

After discovering that humans had built Obsidian Fury and cloned its Kaiju, the investigators questioned four cadets who had entered the Jaeger. Amara admitted she had led them inside and revealed that Obsidian Fury was connected to Shao Industries.

• General Quan and the others concluded that humans had built Obsidian Fury and cloned the Kaiju, while the Precursors controlled them.
• General Quan learned that four cadets had entered Obsidian Fury and one had been burned by Kaiju blood, so he ordered them confined after treatment.
• Chen Mo suggested hearing what the cadets had discovered, and General Quan had them brought to Lab Three.
• Amara took responsibility for leading the cadets into Obsidian Fury and told General Quan that it was connected to Shao Industries.

Amara traced Obsidian Fury’s technology to Shao Industries, while Chen Mo revealed that a Precursor-controlled executive might be working there and identified Dr. Newton Geiszler as a likely suspect. Dr. Herman struggled to defend Newt after Chen Mo explained that repeated neural connections to a living monster brain could have let the Precursors control him.

• Amara identified the counterclockwise-wound insulating metamaterial in Obsidian Fury’s cables as technology unique to Shao Industries.
• Dr. Herman questioned the link because Shao Industries had no biology division, and Knight said the stolen cables alone were not enough evidence.
• Chen Mo discouraged asking Newt to search Shao Industries’ files and revealed that a Precursor-controlled Monster Worshipper was hiding among its senior executives.
• Chen Mo named Dr. Newton Geiszler as a likely suspect because he could secretly use Shao Industries’ equipment to build Obsidian Fury.
• Dr. Herman defended Newt, but Chen Mo argued that the Precursors could control people through neural connections with monsters and that Newt had kept a living monster brain for ten years.
• Dr. Herman realized he could not rule out that Newt had connected with the monster brain repeatedly.

Liwen Shao confirmed that Newton Geiszler had secretly built four Obsidian Fury Jaegers and tampered with Shao Industries’ systems. Chen Mo warned her not to alert Newton, then explained that other Monster Worshippers may have helped create the monsters; the group remained unsure of their ultimate goal.

• Liwen Shao called Mako Mori and reported that Newton Geiszler had secretly used Shao Industries’ automated systems to build four Obsidian Fury Jaegers.
• Dr. Herman insisted that the Precursors had forced Newton’s betrayal, but Mako Mori looked to Chen Mo for guidance.
• Chen Mo used telekinesis to take Mako Mori’s phone and told Liwen Shao to pretend nothing was wrong while she monitored Newton.
• Liwen Shao accepted Chen Mo’s orders respectfully and promised to investigate Newton’s plans without alerting him.
• Chen Mo explained that other Monster Worshippers who had drifted with monster brains could be controlled by the Precursors and help create monsters.
• Mako Mori and Dr. Herman reasoned that Monster Worshippers in biotech companies could have created the monsters, while Jack questioned what the group ultimately intended to do.

After learning that the drone Jaegers were part of the Precursors' conspiracy, Chen Mo waited for their deployment so he could turn the plan against them and destroy the Kaiju threat. At Moyulan Base, a drone Jaeger mutated into a Kaiju Jaeger and landed in the sea as the base prepared for combat.

• After leaving the laboratory, Mako Mori asked Chen Mo whether the Precursors' conspiracy involved the drone Jaegers, and he confirmed it.
• Chen Mo explained that he intended to use the Precursors' scheme to destroy them and eliminate the Kaiju threat, and Mako Mori accepted his plan.
• As the drone Jaegers were transported to the nineteen bases, Chen Mo ordered the bases to prepare for combat, while Jack and Knight joined five other Jaegers guarding Moyulan Base.
• When a drone Jaeger arrived above Moyulan Base, it malfunctioned and transformed into a Kaiju Jaeger.
• General Quan ordered the helicopters to release it, and the mutated Jaeger fell into the sea and stood upright in the water.

Mutated drone Jaegers attacked bases across the Pacific, but Mako Mori’s preparations prevented their surprise assault. While Liwen Shao searched for a way to shut them down, the fleeing Kaiju Jaegers began opening a breach on the seabed.

• General Quan asked whether the drone Jaegers’ mutations were the Precursors’ scheme, and Chen Mo warned that it was only the beginning.
• Liwen Shao reported that Newt had tampered with the control hub and was preparing to flee; Chen Mo told her to let him go and find a way to shut down the drone Jaegers.
• General Quan readied the defending Jaegers, while Mako Mori ordered the bases to stay alert and not pursue the Kaiju Jaegers retreating into the ocean.
• The lone Kaiju Jaegers that continued attacking were overwhelmed and destroyed, including the one Gipsy Danger killed at Moyulan Base.
• The retreating Kaiju Jaegers gathered offshore and focused blue beams on the seabed, where a yellow radiance began spreading like an opening breach.

Mako Mori and General Quan watched as the drone Jaegers opened wormholes across the Pacific and dozens of powerful Kaiju emerged. Chen Mo held off on ordering the drones destroyed, leaving the command center under mounting pressure as two bases defied orders and deployed Jaegers.

• Mako Mori denied requests from the bases to deploy Jaegers while the drone Jaegers expanded more than a dozen wormholes.
• A massive Kaiju stronger than any previously seen Category 5 emerged, and Liwen Shao reported that the drone Jaegers' self-destruct program was ready.
• Chen Mo told Liwen Shao to wait for his order, despite General Quan urging him to shut down the drones.
• The number of Kaiju rose from one to forty as Mako Mori continued blocking deployment requests.
• Los Angeles Base and Anchorage Base defied orders and sent Jaegers toward the wormholes while the Kaiju count reached fifty.

After the Breaches closed and the drone Jaegers were destroyed, the fifty Kaiju gathered in the sea and headed toward Mount Fuji. Dr. Herman realized they were drawn there by rare metals that could react violently with Kaiju blood.

• Chen Mo ordered Liwen Shao to shut down the drone Jaegers, and she detonated their control centers, destroying the Kaiju brains inside them.
• The out-of-control drone Jaegers swept the Breaches with their chest lasers before collapsing, and the closing Breaches killed the Kaiju still emerging.
• Jaegers sent by two bases arrived too late to pursue the Kaiju, which had escaped into the deep sea; Mako Mori did not punish the commanders for disobeying her orders.
• At Moyulan Base, Jack, Knight, and Dr. Herman learned that the fifty Kaiju were moving toward the East China Sea, and Chen Mo said their destination was Mount Fuji.
• After Tokyo Base reported two Kaiju advancing toward the city, Mako Mori authorized Jaeger deployment, and the projected movement paths showed all the Kaiju converging on Mount Fuji.
• Dr. Herman explained that Mount Fuji contained rare metals that reacted violently with Kaiju blood, and Knight warned that this was dangerous.

Chen Mo ordered a global mobilization to stop fifty Kaiju from reaching Mount Fuji, where their blood could trigger a Pacific Rim eruption and destroy life on Earth. Tokyo was evacuated and its defenders killed two Kaiju, but a much larger threat remained as three more appeared in Russian waters, including a Category 5.

• Dr. Herman warned that Kaiju blood at Mount Fuji could ignite the Pacific Rim, filling the atmosphere with toxic ash and gas.
• Chen Mo proposed using Dr. Herman’s Flame Thrusters, and Dr. Herman agreed they were ready for practical use.
• Chen Mo ordered every operational Jaeger to Tokyo and told Mako Mori to distribute the thruster data and arrange evacuations along the Kaiju’s route.
• Mako Mori contacted bases and governments, Dr. Herman sent out the technical data, and Tokyo’s residents evacuated into underground facilities.
• Three Jaegers at Tokyo Base killed the two approaching Category 4 Kaiju, though all three Jaegers were damaged.
• Three Kaiju appeared in Russia’s northern waters, including a powerful Category 5 Kaiju.
