Chapter 4

(Hayley POV)

Me and my brother were heading to meridian city to get a power source for our jaeger, A few rippers noticed us and we started running. My brother led them to a building and we were supposed to meet back up in a park.

We made it there when the rippers had found us again. We ran across a bridge when a big hand came and ate some of the rippers. Me and my brother jumped in the water to get away from the hand.We made it near the lab when a pack of rippers found us again! We were running when a big mini Jaeger came out and grabbed before starting to run.

It put us in a building and started fighting them off. The big hand came back and ate those kaiju too. The mini jaeger ran into the building with us, and just looked at us.

(Ben POV)

I stared at the teens I pulled in, I was thinking of coming out the Jaeger but I don't know their intentions.

"Thanks for saving us," the girl had said. She started walking towards when the guy pulled her back. "Hayley, wait, we don't know it yet, hell for all we know it could be like the jaeger who ate the rippers." he said.

"Taylor,It saved us so obviously it's nice," said hayley. She walked towards me. "Can you help us get to the center?" she asked me. I slightly opened the hatch, because I had no mic in the jaeger. "Why?" I said.

"Wait your human, Great, we need to get a power source for our jaeger." she said. "Ok" I responded. I hadn't explored much around the city, but I still remember where some places are. I headed towards the center where the shelter was next to. It was mostly destroyed and fog and dust was covering mostly the whole area.

I brought them to the center. "Can you come with us, your jaeger is small enough to fit in there." Hayley said. "Ok" it's safer in any way. I followed them down but kept getting stares from taylor. He was probably the only thing stopping her from dying. He actually thinks, before inviting someone random they don't know.

We walked down the corridor until they split up to find a power source. I followed the girl named Hayley because she somewhat trusts me. When we were walking down the hallway she started asking me questions. Like "what's your name, where did you come from, how long have you been here, where did you get that jaeger" "blitz" i said, no reason to give my real name to someone i just met.

She stopped talking after I didn't answer any more questions. We came across a room with the power source they needed and a green tube. Hayley called out for her brother and they went to grab the power source. I grabbed the power because the jaeger is way stronger than a human.

As me and Taylor were grabbing, Hayley screamed. We turned around and saw her looking at a Boy inside of a green tube. Hayley insisted that they break open the tube and pull him out. But Taylor said it could attract more rippers.

Hayley won the argument and they started trying to break open the tube. I would've helped but I had the power with me. As they were breaking it open I heard running. A few seconds later it was loud enough for them to hear as well.

Taylor ran towards the door to block the kaiju out while Hayley kept breaking the tube open. I decided To help them because the kaiju attacked me too. I punched the tube breaking it then I ran to taylor to hold the door close.

Once it was closed all the way we locked it and then went out the other exit. Hayley was dragging the Boy while I was holding the canester. When we got out, Taylor turned toward me. "Thanks for helping us" then he started walking away. I was about to head back to the jaeger I lived in when the girl hayley stopped me. "Do you want to come with us"

I looked back and stated "ok" I haven't seen another person in 5 years and I doubt they would try to take my jaeger if they have a huge one. Taylor handed the power back to me and we walked over to where their jaeger was.

It was big but it had no weapons, it was also orange and blue not the greatest colors. They came up onto the hand and walked in the jaeger. I was not getting out of mine and instead climbed onto the shoulder instead. Hayley popped her head out, "aren't you coming inside?" "no" I responded. Even though my jaeger was a little small, it was big enough for me to be comfortable.

Hayley didn't say anything else, and went into the jaeger. The jaeger started up and they started walking. I don't know where though. While they were walking I heard them talking about spotting vehicles. I looked over to that direction and saw a dust cloud picking up
