Takeshi jumped back as he saw the wall behind Hizumi give way and quickly readied his gun for combat. As the initial Gastrea crawled away, he turned to his partner-in-arms as he spoke. The speed at which the incident escalated was boggling, but it was definitely true that they were at a disadvantage in this situation without a full team of 4. 

"So it's not just me then?" he asked, quickly backing up towards the entrance of the building before seeing the cops outside getting swarmed with smaller Gastrea. "We have to deal with this as well as we can; I'll deal with these for now; if there's anything coming out, can you stall it until I clear the area out? You've got a partner with you, so you should be able to do that, right?"

Before waiting for a response, Takeshi quickly lifted his M16 to shoulder height and began shooting at the smaller Gastrea. The gun was a bit heavier that he had expected it to be and his accuracy was... A bit worse that would he what have hoped, but the attacks seemed to wound the Gastrea and made him the center of attention for anything not hit by him earlier. Loading another magazine in, Takeshi readied himself and fired another few shots at the Gastrea, carefully trying to make sure that each of his shots hit an appendage or something at the very least, if at all.
