Luckily, the strange fellow swooped in to help him drag it shore. Katsu's nails had begun to skitter and slip on the wet rock and he was dangerously close to skittering face first into the frigid waters. With Battery's additional leverage, they managed to wrench the huge fish backwards up on to the shore. It flopped with surprising strength, the scales grating against his lips as he tried to tighten his grip. They were sharp, abrading the tender tissue there until he tasted just the barest bit of blood. Finally the fish was fully land locked and Katsu pressed all of his considerable weight on to its tail to hold the thrashing sturgeon still. When he had the fish pinned, he nodded to Battery: "End it. We can split it?" The thing was huge, no way he could eat it all himself. Beneath his dire paws the sturgeon still writhed in anger, gills flaring wide.
