Battles Against Thanatos (Fanon)
August 17th, 2039:
Category 8 Thanatos emerges from a Breach in Clayton. However, the Kaiju couldn't be tracked by radar, needing helicopters to spot the Kaiju for the Kaiju. The Mark 8 J8-33 and the Mark 9 Bastion Obliterator were deployed to handle the Kaiju. Thanatos would attack J8-33 from behind, the Jaeger would react fast enough and punch the Kaiju in the jaw. The Category 8 would then scratch the Jaeger's arm, before taking another punch to its jaw. The Pilots of J8-33 would call Bastion for back up. The Mark 8 would brace for a pounce, only of the Kaiju to scrtch the Jaegers legs with both right arms. The Kaiju then pushed the Mark 8 down and bite the conn-pod and crush it. Bastion would attack from behind and pull the Kaiju off J8-33. Bastion would hold the Kaiju down and shoot it in the head twice with one of its shotguns.
January 29th, 2040:
Paragon Ultra was deployed with Hunter Vertigo and Marauder Zeus in Meridian; however, Paragon would diverge as per orders from Marshall Rask to battle a Dengue. After landing, Marauder would go hunting for Kaiju. Thanatos would pounce onto the Mark 6's back, Marauder's pilots would slam the Kaiju into a building to shake it off. They would quickly arm their left gatling gun and fire them at the Kaiju, scaring it off. The Kaiju would attempt to attach from the side only to get uppercut, the Kaiju would narrowly escape as Marauder shot at it with both gatling guns. The fight wouldn't continue as Marauder detects an Acid Quil heading for Hunter Vertigo and would run to aid them.
Later on, Paragon had defeated Dengue and had found a broken down civilian bus. Paragon would get attacked by the Category 8 who disable the Jaeger's chest cannons with a swipe of it's claws and proceed to pin the Jaeger down. Thanatos would pin the Jaeger's left head down and try to bite the Mark 9's conn-pod. Paragon would prevent the Kaiju from doing so by putting it's forearm against the Kaiju's neck. Ares Valient was in the area and was told to stand down by Paragon's pilot, Asher Turner. Paragon's copilot, Logan would request Ares to grab the civilian bus and take it somewhere safe. Ares would disobey orders grab the Kaiju and pull it it off Paragon. The Kaiju would shake the Jaeger off, but Ares then quickly grabbed the Kaiju and lifted it up and slammed Kaiju's back into its knee, killing it. Paragon would grab the civilian bus, and Ares would escort the Jaeger to Sydney as The Black is initiated.
May 7th, 2045:
The Brisbane Base would detect small tremors using seismometers and low frequency rumbling through infrasound detectors, singling a Kaiju heading towards them. With no thermal signatures and the Kaiju not appearing on radar and estimate on weight and speed made through the seismometers and infrasound detectors, it was clear it was a Thanatos. With no way to accurately track the Kaiju, Sentries won't be able to accurately bombard it with mortars.
The Mark 7 Falx Livyatan was deployed to battle the Kaiju who'd pounce on the Jaeger. Livyatan then threw the Kaiju into a large rock formation and then charge into the Kaiju with its heavily armored shoulder. The Kaiju kicked the Jaeger backward and scratched the Jaeger's shoulder, not causing any significant damage. The Jaeger delivered a series of punches to the Kaiju's face, before grabbing the Kaiju's head and slammed its knee in the Kaiju's jaw. The Kaiju then use all six limbs to lunge forward and push the Jaeger down. Livyatan fired its Hydrogen Ion cannons in its chest to send the Kaiju backward, the Kaiju quickly got to its feet and slashed at Livyatan's chest with its tails and damaged the cannons. Thanatos pinned the Mark 9 down and aimed to bite the conn-pod. Livyatan caught the Kaiju's head and with its thumbs, gouged the Kaiju's eyes, the Kaiju roared in pain and backed away shaking its head. Thanatos pounced at Livyatan who reacted in time and moved aside, causing the Category 8 to go headfirst into a rock formation, leaving it disoriented. Livyatan would pin the Thanatos down with its right forearm on its neck, the Jaeger then armed its left arm's fusion cannon and burned the Kaiju's abdomen. The Kaiju blindly scratched in the air, causing minor damage to the hull but broke the windshield and kicked the Mark 7 away.
Thanatos then lunged at Livyatan again, the Mark 7 caught the jaw and then quickly put the Kaiju into a headlock. The Jaeger held the Kaiju's head with hand on the bottom jaw and the other on the top and then twisted Thanatos' head, breaking its neck, finally killing it.
