In Asuka's mind, the best defense was a good offense - and in this case, the sooner she shot him down, the better. More scarlet laser fire stitched through the void, tracking her target. Her HUD kept flickering green - target lock - and then going back to it's neutral blue as the VF-25 juked and weaved. Her gunnery wasn't what it could be. She'd been at this for hours and by now she was practically wrestling her stick over.

She was going to get him, one way or another.
