Punching monsters while wearing a giant suit of armor didn't hurt Nico's knuckles nearly as much as punching her ex-boyfriend had (and it sure as hell hurt her heart less). She whooped aloud as she let Raph's knowledge lead her through the movement, aiming for somewhere behind the kaiju's head.

"HYAAAA!"

The kaiju seemed to be having less fun than she was, though. It launched itself up at them with a roar that she could hear through the crashing waves and the various mechanical whines and klaxons in the jaeger, seizing the head of the mecha in its clawed hands and attempting to yank it loose.

"AHHHHH!"
