[ Sakichi scrambles for his rifle, spurred by Chiyo's urgency. He checks it quickly and flips the safety off before finding the trio of monsters down the sight of the rifle, his movements mechanical. He only has one magazine of ammunition to work with, so he can't waste any of his shots...
He waits for the monsters' features to become visible (how are they flying? how are they seeing?) before firing a burst shot. Boomboomboom -- the noise is deafening, but one of the monsters drops like a fly from the sky. Its friends on either side dodge in opposite directions, curving to catch Chiyo and Sakichi between them.
Sakichi pivots to follow the one nearest him with his rifle, but he knows he won't have a clear shot on it until it's charging in. Until then, he'll be blind to the monster on Chiyo's side... ]

Chiyo. That one is yours.
