Previously...

Everyone could watch on shock and amazement, as the red/blue Titan seemed to look left and right, then it lets out a foghorn-like bellow, the horn echoing out all around. Then, the mech goes silent, standing still like a statue.

"Wow." Was all Linx could say about what he's seen.

"I agree." Shawn agreed.

From afar, Kaji was standing on one of the bridges in Manhattan, having seen the whole battle taking place. "HYDRA and the Council won't take this lying down." He said to himself, now taking out his phone.

'Braedey... what just happened?' Matilda thought to herself.

~*~*~

After the crazy fight with the Demon, all the Jaegers were returned back to the base, and the pilots were checked over to see if they were alright. Most only got some cuts and bruising, although Amy did have to spend some time in the medical ward. However, there's been no sign of Braedey anywhere, and Jaeger Prime hasn't responded at all.

"The damage to the Jaegers is well beyond the Hayflick limit." Maya informed to Ritsuko. "It's going to be a while before things get back to the way they were."

"All that matters now is that it's operational." Ritsuko then looked on the monitor that was looking at Jaeger Prime in its hangar bay. "The big question is whether or not Jaeger Prime is."

At the Jaeger bays, Shawn and Linx were both looking at their Jaegers, the two of them with bandages on their forms. Kieron was also there. Amy, Shinobu, and Hawk were in the medical ward for the time being, with Asuka being back at Matilda's home.

"Talk about a mess." Linx muttered.

"That's an understatement." Shawn countered. "That abomination was a real pain in the ass. But something was up with Prime during that ordeal."

"Too right. I've never seen ferocity and fight like that before from Braedey. Sure, he can voice his thoughts loud, but fight like that? It isn't like him." Linx added.

Kieron was about to say something, when he noticed Matilda on the catwalk in front of Jaeger Prime alongside Hyuga, the two of them on conversation. He picked up a small device, and he began to listen in on their conversation.

"Will restraining it with the cage be enough?" Matilda asked to Hyuga.

"We're not detecting any nuclear, electrical, EM, or chemical energy readings from inside it. The core of Prime is shut down." Hyuga informed.

"That hasn't stopped Jaeger Prime from coming to life a number of times in the past." Matilda muttered, now thinking about the times that Jaeger Prime took control in situations. "We can't fiddle around with it based only on what we can see. There's no telling what it might do to us if we start poking at it blindly."

"Just like you, Major Katsina." Hyuga commented, then went silent. "Sorry, ma'am." He apologised, looking to the Jaeger.

Kieron now began to walk down the halls, his mind lost in his thoughts. He wondered what was going on, as well as what had happened during the previous fight, as well as not hearing a thing from Jaeger Prime. He was just about to pass by one hall, when he now heard Commander James and Mr. Kaji talking to one another.
