1 Stay Alive!

"WAA!"

'Waa…-at the fuck?'

"WAAA?" *Growl*

I feel… warm? And hungry?...and wet?

*BAM*

I also feel myself get thrown against my squishy cage as what feels like an earthquake wracks my surroundings.

'WAA?'

The hells going on?!

"WAA? WAAA! WAAA!"

'A system!? I've been isekai'd? Am I in an egg?'

Maybe not? I can see flashes of light coming from outside the… jelly sack or whatever it is I'm in, along with several thumps and screeches. Speaking of jelly… everything smells so good! I can't help but start swallowing the liquid around me.

While slurping it up, I'm also thinking about what this information means for my future. I mean, how many universes even have giant monsters… a lot more than people think, but the most popular would be the monsterverse. So is that where I am?

If so, which monster am I?

Woah! I instinctively feel like I've reached a milestone, and have to lay down as I feel an ache all over as my body greatly increases in size and no longer feels so weak.

Otachi? The name sounds cool but I don't recognize it? Eh, I'm just happy at getting stronger.

My momentary elation is cut short as I'm once again thrown toward the wall of my fleshy prison- my tail flopping down in front of me and immediately making me stiffen.

I recognize that… but from where?…

I start looking over my body.

*GROWLLL*

'*Chuckles* I'm in danger'

I am now aware… that I possess a long tail with 3 claws at the end- all of which I can slightly control, small and weak wings folded into my front limbs, a prehensile tongue and I can puff up my neck like a frog… except I know it's full of acid instead of air… and finally, to put a nail in the coffin of my theory, it mentioned me as a category I Kaiju.

All of this points me to a scary possibility… I'm in Pacific Rim, and not only that, but I'm the baby Kaiju that strangled itself to death after eating the jackass with the fancy shoes!

Which means I probably have a few minutes at most before I'm discovered! Those knocks I felt earlier- were actually from the battle between the jaeger and my… mother? So what I'm eating…

UGH!

If it wasn't so damn tasty I would've thrown up! I think this to myself while opening my mouth to continue swallowing my impromptu baby food. What? It's my only way to get strong enough to survive, and while it is gross, it's kinda hard to feel too disgusted when everything smells tasty as hell… the texture could use some work though.

I make sure to untangle my head from the umbilical cord and bite it to free myself from the fleshy leash, I then slurp it up like a noodle.

Extra gross… but I'm not planning to die, and that means eating my greens… and blues… and other vibrant colors. Thank whoever-is-up-there for these new senses, I may as well have been standing in the middle of mcdonalds, I was actually drooling!

A bit of waiting is all it takes before I feel my mother falling from orbit. I take this opportunity to break out of my embryonic sack to start slurping up a bunch of entrails and fleshy bits, before hunkering down a minute before we hit the ground.

…Which made me feel like I'd received a concussion… probably should have stayed in the jelly for a bit longer. but it didn't stop me from going nuts on my eating spree. Getting strong enough to run into the ocean was my only chance at escaping. But I also didn't want to draw Gipsy Danger's (fucking stripper name I tell you) attention, so I tried not to make it obvious I was in here.

I avoided piercing the skin just yet, and instead focused on eating and upgrading as fast as possible. Something that ends far sooner than I'd like when I begin to hear yelling from outside- followed by a machine whirring as I see the stomach area nearby being cut open. Crap.

I'm big enough that I'm beginning to rub up against my mothers ribcage, yet know I'm still small enough to basically be a toddler in front of a Jaeger. I start hyping myself up as the people on the outside finally manage to make a cut large enough for them to enter, and as the skin falls to the ground… the people outside see me eyeballing them.

I let out a throaty rumbling noise in what I hope is a friendly tone.

"PUPUPUPUPUPA"

'Uh… I come in peace?'

"THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!!! RUNNNN!!!"

Damn it.

They start screaming and panicking immediately, and I take that as my queue to tear my way out, spread my wings, and shoot up into the sky. I'm quite relieved I can use my new body without any issues- instinct or whatever.

A ways off I can see Gipsy Danger (who was intact but heavily damaged), turn around and begin hobbling towards me. Hahaha, nope.

I look into my surroundings and find the other dead Kaiju in the distance, I then fly straight towards it before ignoring the people harvesting it in favor of chowing down. This thing (even after getting so much of it blown to pieces) still has noticeably more meat on it than my mother.

And it tastes like beef! I dig in and make sure to keep an eye out for the Jaeger, they still have half a city to traverse with busted knees and relatively crappy injuries, so I'm not too worried they'll catch me unawares.

What does, is a bunch of missiles impacting the side of my head. Of course they deal next to no damage, physically at least, damn things still jumpscared the fuck out of me! I'm assuming they're trying to draw my attention to lure me elsewhere… so I do my best to ignore them as thousands of bullets, rockets and, well… not much else really, impact me constantly. If anything they make it a bit harder to keep track of my surroundings with all the smoke and bright lights.

But I'm beginning to feel more confident now, as eating so much of gorilla boi here has made me a hell of a lot bigger.

I start feeling itchy as all of the mutations begin affecting me. It feels like I have a bunch of ants eating my throat, skin, eyes, claws and muscles for a few seconds, before returning to normal.

My body feels… better, tougher. The first thing I notice is my new field of view- which makes sense as I now have 4 extra eyes, eyes that allow me to see behind myself at all times in addition to having an amazing level of clarity. My claws are still just as sharp, yet now feel quite a bit stronger, my skin is now strong enough to not even feel the rockets, the armor on my tail, back and head feels tougher, I can feel my muscles bulging and I can instinctively feel how I'd be able to let loose an EMP attack at will.

I let out a happy little screech after my upgrade.

"RAAAAAAAAAA-PA-PA-PA-PA-THUM"

'Hahaha, I'm the danger now!'

Just as I see Gipsy Danger wading through the water towards the pier I'm on, I take to the air once again and start heading out to sea, before diving into the water. I make sure to grab the headless (yet relatively intact) remains of Crimson Typhoon with my tail, and the partially destroyed remains of Cherno Alpha with my legs, before swimming towards the breach.

Upon reaching near the breach I begin chowing down on Crimson Typhoon (Is everything tasty for Kaiju's?), and am surprised when I actually find the metal to be rather tasty- almost like eating salty taffy! Directly after that, I start with Cherno Alpha and am even more happy to find that it tastes like spicy noodles! Extra emphasis on the spice… feels like I burned my tongue.
