Mesoamerican Skirmishes
The Mesoamerican Skirmishes was a series of battles that took place across Central America with the goal of stopping the kaiju Qetz from advancing.
The Conflict
Prelude
After the Battle of Rio de Janeiro , the kaiju Qetz began advancing north towards Central America. Scholars and historians were consulted about what the kaiju could be, where it came from, and where it was going. Only the latter two answers could be deduced, and Brazilian intelligence concluded it was returning to Mexico . News spread quickly across the globe, and militaries in Central and North America began preparing themselves for its arrival. Evacuations were ordered in any areas speculated to be in its way, particularly the entire Teotihuacán Municipality.
Deployment
Fighter jets, attack helicopters, and tanks all attempted to head the kaiju off, but each conflict was unsuccessful.
Battlefield
Nicaragua , El Salvador , Honduras , Guatemala , and Mexico had all attempted to either reroute the kaiju or deter it, but it crushed any resistance with ease before venturing past the Mexican border. Belize was out of the kaiju's path and was ultimately spared.
Outcome
Many jets and helicopters had been lost in the various skirmishes, greatly limiting the government and military's ability to respond effectively to battles farther north.
Aftermath
After the kaiju entered Mexico, it took up residence in Teotihuacán, and a large blockade was erected around the area to prevent anyone from going in. The exclusion zone spanned twenty miles, and Mexican armed forces were ordered not to engage Qetz so it may have a wide berth. Flights to Mexico City were canceled indefinitely, and all non-military air spaces were shut down. A mass exodus from the city was underway, with many attempting to head north into the United States only to be met with closed borders. The borders of Belize and Guatemala were also shut down and blockaded by their respective militaries.
