History Fanfic / HuntersOfDeath

* ShoutOut: More than a few, but one memorable one where the team is trying to decide what to name a Kaiju. [[RedVsBlue Wrex apparently doesn't think pumas are real animals.]] Also, Jondum Bau is apparently a fan of Batman.

** In John's memory of Torfan, two of the soldiers are [[RedVsBlue Grif and Simmons]].

* RocketPunch: Invoked when Ashley uses a human sized version to slam her fist into a Krogan's skull hard enough to immediately knock him out.

* TemptingFate: On Illium, one of the Asari dockworkers states that she wouldn't let them dock even if they had Councelor Tevos on speed dial. Jane, who hacked Tevos' omnitool earlier, ''does'' have Tevos on speed dial. HilarityEnsues.

** [[JustifiedTrope Which makes sense.]] Having a giant robot that only works with two people and their special skills would mean that no one outside of those two people (or those with similar power sets) could use it to its maximum effectiveness.

** The creature that attacked Jane on Akuze [[spoiler: wasn't a Thresher Maw, it was a Kaiju]].

* {{Deconstruction}}: Jane breaks down ''exactly'' why Saren's excuses make absolutely no sense when questioned on why he's on Eden Prime.

* SuperpowerLottery: Neptune Overlord in spades. Not only does the Jaeger have standard robot strength, but [[spoiler: he can also create plasma swords, create a sentinel shield and even do a vanguard charge. Apparently his powers depend on the class of those piloting him, meaning he may be capable of everything a Normandy crew member within him can do.]]

** BadassNormal: Ashley Williams, with no biotics or tech abilities, has no trouble keeping up with her crewmates. [[spoiler: Zaeed Massani is similar, taking down guards with ease]].

Though the story starts out much the same as the original games, it very quickly goes in a [[AlternateHistory completely different direction]]. Not least because of [[spoiler: Saren revealing his own Jaegers and Kaiju]]. One very obvious change is the fact that there are two Shepards, male and female. One raised in space, the other in the ghettos of China. The differences that are caused by their different backgrounds are one of the things explored in-story.

* AllYourPowersCombined: Neptune Omega has both [[spoiler: a sentinel shield and a vanguard charge ability, due to Jane and John being those classes. When Ashley joins them, he also exhibits the [[BulletTime adrenaline rush]] possibly showing his abilities change based on who is piloting him.]]

* HumongousMecha: All over the place. It is a ''Film/PacificRim'' Crossover after all. Notable mentions are Neptune Omega, the Geth Jaegers, and the Asari Jaegers. Presumubly most Council races have some sort of Jaeger.

* PlayfulHacker: Jane has a habit of hacking into peoples omni-tools for nothing other than curiosity. [[spoiler: Becomes a [[ChekovsSkill Chekov's Skill]] when she hacks Councilor Tevos' Omni-tool to get the crew permission to dock on Ilium.]]

* AwesomeMcCoolname: [[HumongousMecha Neptune Overlord]], [[spoiler:the Shepards' Jaeger.]] Appropriately, it's named after two of the codenames for the Battle Of Normandy.

--> John: It's not one on two!
--> Jane: Its [[BashBrothers two on two]]!

-->'''Wrex:''' Yes.
-->'''Garrus:''' Yes! What do you mean yes!?
