[Metal screeches as Slattern wrenches his appendages free, no longer supporting the jaegers lifeless shell.
A thick plume of sand rises upon impact.]

[A glance is directed in a very specific direction.
Finally spurring into action, the Mark V chooses the closest Jaeger to skewer with one swift motion. His three tails pin the machine in place, long enough for the other kaiju to crush everything from the shoulders up.—
[His attention is fully focused at the empty coast in front of him, eyes drifting back and forth….but not as if looking for something. Slattern is looking AT something.
It’s not clear what it is until a thunderous bellow splits the boundary between dimensions.—
— The rift is barely open when a heavily damaged Jaeger, Matador Fury, stumbles through. There’s only seconds before it returns to engaging the kaiju that followed after them in combat.
More rifts split into existence, all bearing the same fruit.
Slattern continues to watch—
@zergswarmqueen [Why is it spicy.]
[Theres a startled roar that quickly intensifies as the anger sets in.
The pillars of volcanic vents nearby crumble against the intense soundwaves Slattern emits.]
[ouchie]
[Slattern is waiting]
[Watching]
[Ever patient while slowly becoming whole again.]
[And snapping his jaws at every seagull flock that tries to make a perch of him.]
[Recovery has been slow for Slattern. The damage under the surface of their hide was extensive enough to sideline the kaiju for this long.
But the missing flesh and mangled chords of muscle were nearly whole again.
It won’t be long now.]
