"Oh, that can't be good," said Ranma, still sitting inside Unit 01, which itself was still sitting upon the shore with an enormous fishing pole whose line ran out to the ocean.

A popup window of Rei, monitoring from back at NERV Central, foreshadowed her own comment on the matter. "I would not count her out just yet."

Proving her point, the giant fish-angel leapt up out of the water and momentarily hung there, with Asuka's Unit-02 visible in the process of forcing its mouth open again from the inside. The fish hung in midair for a moment, and then was gone again under the water's surface.

"Cables's cut," said a tech monitoring nearby. "She's down to five minutes of emergency power."

"Hang on," said Ranma, standing up and watching carefully at where the float marking his fishing line was bobbing on the water. The four empty oil cans abruptly dipped beneath the water.

Ranma played the line out, tugged it, waggled the line, and otherwise fought the big beast at the other end of the line as if it were some more typical large fish.

The fight went on for roughly four minutes before the fish finally breeched again.

"FROM HELL'S HEART, I STAB AT THEE!" proclaimed Asuka as she repeatedly stabbed at the fish-angel, apparently wedged in its mouth and using her unit's free hand to jab the progressive knife into every portion of flesh she could reach.

Still far away in Tokyo-3, Rei offered a bit of commentary after using the free German-Japanese translation program she'd found to try a little German herself. "(I think you need your glockenspiel hammered.)"

For some reason Misato excused herself during the middle of the operation as she seemed to have some difficulty breathing.
