One ordinary night, Cheng Xiaoyang was curled up on the sofa rewatching Pacific Rim when a strange bolt of lightning split the sky and dragged him into a world gripped by a monstrous crisis.
When he woke up at the Shatterdome in Hong Kong, he discovered that he had not only become a member of the PPDC’s Jaeger technology department, but had also been swept into a crisis far greater than anything in the film. Two Category III Kaiju, Knifehead and Razorback, were closing in on Hong Kong at the same time, shattering the original course of events.
Just as the Jaegers were pushed to the brink, Cheng Xiaoyang unexpectedly transformed into Ultraman Nexus. Silver light illuminated the battlefield and drove back Knifehead. The Kaiju seemed to be responding to some mysterious summons, and it was all closely tied to a dark conspiracy to control the evolution of humanity.
