Plans are soon made to set up the Gypsy Danger
and Striker Eureka to deliver the warhead to the undersea rift, but due to the
father in Striker Eureka's team having sustained an injury to his arm, a
replacement must be found. Pentecost surprises everyone when he takes the role.
However, the strain of piloting a Jaeger could prove fatal to Pentecost, but he
volunteers anyway. As the two Jaegers near the rift, Geiszler and Gottlieb rush
into the Shatterdome's control room, and explain that the plan will not work.
The channel between dimensions will only allow in a Kaiju, the very reason for
the previous failures to destroy the channel with other nuclear weapons: if
they attempt to drop the warhead into the channel, it'll just deflect off the
breach. The two Jaegers battle two Kaiju guarding the rift as a third Kaiju, a
Category 5, larger more powerful than the previous creatures, emerges from the
rift. Gypsy Danger and Striker Eureka sustain heavy damage in the battle.
Striker Eureka detonates its nuclear core to take out the defending Kaiju and
give Gypsy Danger a chance to enter the rift. Gypsy Danger drags a dead Kaiju
into the rift, bypassing the genetic code that would reject any non-Kaiju.
Inside the Kaiju dimension, Raleigh ejects Mako in a life pod and manually
initiates the detonation of the nuclear core. As Gypsy Danger enters the other
dimension, Raleigh ejects in his own pod before Gypsy Danger explodes and
collapses the rift, ending the Kaiju threat once and for all. On the surface of
the Pacific Ocean, both pods reach the surface. For a brief period, it seems
that Raleigh may be dead but he awakens, much to Mako's joy.
