((Ahahahahahahaha, yeah, this got graphic at some point. Also, spoilers for Pacific Rim.)) When he was born, it was in a big shiny, wet, squishy claw that poked him over and over again. It kinda hurt, but there were stars and glittery stuff all around, and that was okay. There were lots of others like him, and a lot of them weren't like him, but they all smelled the same, and they all felt the same. And in his head, he could feel them all talking and thinking. There was determination and energy and eagerness to please, and into that mix he'd added his own curiosity about their objective. And then the claw had let him go, and he'd been told to swim up, up, up, through the dark, flashing tunnel that smelt and felt like him and everyone else in his head. Then he'd crowned into cold, heavy water that pulled and prickled at his skin. Follow the pull of magnets in the ground; find where there was no water, just air and ice, and eradicate the vermin. Fresh air. Exercise. New and interesting food. And that's when he'd met them.
His first-ever friends.
Oh, he'd had brothers and sisters and all, but, well, they were swell and all, but they weren't friends. The little ones with the pale hair and the rolling voices, and the big, heavy one with the glowing eyes, they'd run up to meet him, wading through the inexorable pull of thrashing waves, through the sheeting rain and the chill of the tempest. They'd waded through all that water to meet him, and that's when he'd learned something his creators had never told him: vermin were fun. And friendly! They were playful, just like him. Maybe not as strong--his claws had broken one of the little ones, crushing its head in and ripping it to pieces, but hey. They were vermin. It's not like they were created to be strong and all. Except for the middle one, of course. She'd been powerful. She and the remaining little one had nearly killed him. They were so sweet.
It had taken him a long time to recover, but now the clone wanted to find his friends. He was getting lonely. He couldn't find any of his siblings, even though They'd assured him that they'd be along shortly. So he'd passed the time curled up, licking his wounds on a storm-tossed island out to sea. He'd thought long and hard about his friends, and about the name they'd called him.
"Knifehead." It had a ring to it. And now that he was recovered, Knifehead wanted to learn their names, too. He'd made landfall this morning, his massive body trotting across the pebbled shore and into the forest beyond. Such a strange place. Such strange scents. Not at all like home. Hey--was that movement of metal? He could feel the magnetism...Ice_Dragon_Demon I don't know if he had magnetic sensors in the movie, but he's part shark, so...

Heavy footfalls echoed theough the forests as the gentle giant moved steadily. A Kaijuu had made landfall and it was her duty to stop it. The signal scouts had been the one to inform the higher ups and they had sent her. There was some confusion as to which Kaijuu it had been it was a class 3 according to what she'd heard. she'd Been Dispatched immediately. She was a bit older now than some of the newer models but thanks to Mako she'd been repaired and allowed to fight again though without her partners.
Gipsy was alone now, she would always be. She'd never put anyone through what she'd felt again. She'd seen how it broke the remaining twin.The last time she'd fought with the twins one of them had died. He'd been brutally torn apart. The two had taught her a lot about fighting and some other things. She paused, she could hear it, heavy set like herself but without the mechanical whirring of her circuits and machinery. She could see a faint blue light, the bioluminescence of the kaiju.
Let's do this, she thought as some of her machinery shifted to make it easier for her to move. Power began to run through her body as the generator surged.
Come Get some! She'd take it down Just like the rest. She still had one of the highest kill records.

It was metal. The little ones called their kind "jaegers." Apparently it meant "hunter." That was a bit odd--they were all made of metal, and not one of them had ever eaten (so far as he could tell). Why they were "hunters" then didn't make sense at all to Knifehead. Oh well. One of the jaegers was nearby, and he was eager to find out if it was his old friend, or a potential new friend. This world was full of so many friends.
There was a whirring sound of metal from up ahead--definitely a jaeger. He had some vague idea that some of the jaegers were older than the others, and that they were made in different ways. This one sounded familiar, though--not strange like he would have expected a different one to sound. Wow--had he actually done it? After so long waiting and so little time searching, had he actually found her...?
He had! Knifehead could see her clearly through the trees--the big one that had almost killed him last time. He grinned (okay, he always grinned, his mouth was kinda stuck like this, but this was a more grinnish-grin, if that makes any sense at all?) and charged forward. Yup! The blue plating the golden glow in her chest and under her tail, those strong shoulders--what had her little friends called her? Knifehead couldn't remember. So he said nothing as he leapt out of the trees and lunged at Gipsy, claws outstretched to rip her plating off. It was time for a rematch, and Knifehead wanted to see how long Gipsy could play before she couldn't play anymore.
