3rd Person POV

Capital

"What the—?" Stumbling as a Plasma Saw slammed against his Stingblade, James looked up and his 'eyes' widened as the walls of the palace erupted, shattering to pieces as a massive mech around 319 feet tall rose to its full height. With massive shoulder pauldrons resting atop a sea-blue cloak that covered its body, the mech had red gems adorning its frame and a golden 'crown' on its head.

What the Hell is that thing?! Some kind of Jaeger?

So, it seems as though the humans of this world have a Jaeger of their own, Slattern's voice mused as Fury stared up at the mech from where he and James stood on a lower level of the Capital.
