Nabiki's fingers nervously flew over the Extractor's controls while keeping an eye on the three attackers. She especially kept an eye on a certain, red-headed girl that was attacking her vessel with hard attacks.
"Okay, Saotome," she muttered. "You want a fight, you get one."
Behind her, Rikku was jumping back and forth between the Aqua Shooter and Depth Charge controls. "Waaaah, we'll never gonna win. Three against two, that's hardly fair. And look, a fiend is fighting with them.
Nabiki looked out of the shaded cockpit. "That's no fiend, that's Shampoo," she realized. "I wonder why she looks like some sort of catfish."
Another heavy punch made by Ranma shook the little sub around. Rikku grabbed onto a handle in panic before answering: "What's a Shampoo? Some kind of hair conditioner?"
Nabiki smirked while maneuvering the Extractor around her three opponents. "Something like that... she's one of Ranma's fiancees."
Rikku looked out of the cockpit and watched the pig-tailed martial artist carefully. "She still doesn't look like a guy to me..."
Angrily, Nabiki pushed Rikku aside. "Go back to your post. We'll never beat them this way. Get ready to use the Depth Charges."
"Aye aye, captain," Rikku saluted and jumped back to the controls. Nabiki let the Extractor ascent a little, while Rikku was preparing the water mines. Suddenly, the whole sub was swaying wildly.
"Whaaa," Rikku yelled while being thrown against the wall of the cramped cockpit. "What happened?"
"They attacked the propellers," Nabiki grimly noted. "I don't think the sub will make it."
"How am I ever explain this to Pops?" Rikku whined. "This baby was one of his favorite inventions."
"He can always build another," Nabiki shouted while standing up. "A new daughter, now that will be difficult."
Rikku gulped. "I guess losing the Extractor won't be that bad. Let's get out of here before it breaks apart.
And while the two girls were scrambling wildly towards the emergency exit, one screw after another popped out of the wall while jets of moonflow water were shooting out of the holes.

Ranma watched in satisfaction as the weird spherical submarine was slowly sinking to the ground. Tidus had already freed Yuna from the force field and was carrying her up to the shoopuf. Then Shampoo tugged at her sleeve and pointed at two bodies that were climbing out of the wreck and desperately tried to reach the surface. When Ranma recognized the girls, he let out a sigh. "Let's take them to the shore," he mumbled. Shampoo seemed to understand, because she nodded.
Nabiki only felt a hard grip on her suit before she was violently pulled up to the surface and thrown out of the water, onto the shore. A few seconds later, Rikku was landing on the sand next to her. The young Al Bhed girl was coughing and said: "Well, poopie! That definitely was a washout."
When she heard someone clearing her throat, Nabiki nervously turned around while standing up.
Ranma and Shampoo (in cat-girl form) were standing before them, both of them not looking very amused.
Nabiki smiled nervously. "Why, Ranma... fancy meeting you here..."
Rikku just groaned.
"You big meanies! That really hurt, you know?"
