The Beginning

"The city sleeps

So silently

Wish I could say the same for me"

~Unfair

"The date was August 10, 2013. A massive earthquake hit my hometown of San Francisco, California. Those phenomenon were common in the state, but this was different from the rest. When the trembling stopped, something emerged from the ocean beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. A monstrous creature 92 meters in height and over 2000 tons in weight, with thick hide and a large ax-like blade on the top of its head. It came to be known as a Kaiju, codenamed 'Tresspasser'. I was only 13 when he came into our world, but it will forever be engraved in my memory.

My father was part of the United States Air Force, and they waged war against Tresspasser, getting aid from the British Royal Air Force. Even their combined conventional weapons did nothing to penetrate the hide of the Kaiju.

In the end, the fight against Tresspasser lasted six days and it took three nuclear missiles to take him down. During those days the cities of San Francisco, Sacramento, and Oakland were destroyed and thousands were killed. Among them were my parents, my father dying in the assault on Tresspasser and my mother being crushed by debris when our apartment complex fell.

After his defeat, the event was memorialized and life moved on. However, another Kaiju; codenamed 'Hundun', attacked Manila six months later, on February 5, 2014, again defeated by a nuclear strike. A third attack on the first of June that same year happened near Cabo San Lucas, the Kaiju responsible was codenamed 'Kaiceph'. Three months later a fourth attacked Sydney Australia, codenamed 'Scissure' on September 5, 2014.

In order to combat this threat, the United Nations came together and forged the Pan Pacific Defense Corps; an international alliance of twenty-one countries across the Pacific Rim.

I was 15 when I joined up to enter the Jaeger Academy along with the my best friend, Willow Lawson. Throughout our time we continued to impress our instructors by our synchronicity and upon graduation, we were assigned to a newly made Mark-III Jaeger. We decided to name her Silver Wyvern, after my favorite color and Willow's favorite mythical creature. We were stationed in Alaska and that is where I met someone I would come to care about with all my heart and soul. It's where I fell in love.

My name is Sawyer Chase, and this is my story."

A/N: The verse at the beginning is the first few lines of Kate Voegele's song "Unfair". Each chapter will open with a line or verse of her because she's the actress I've chosen to portray my main OC in this story Sawyer Chase.

A/N 2: Thanks for tuning in to this new fic. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
