After a brief moment, it seemed to dismiss Jr., perhaps seeing a small, human boy who couldn't pose much of a threat. Then it barreled forward through the crowd, looking for a hint of purposeful movement. Just as its single, unseen eye caught Zouichi's own gaze, he brought his gun up and fired one shot. Abruptly, a hole opened in several of the shambling drones in a direct line toward the inspector, as if some great, invisible creature had simply tunneled through them in an instant.
At the last second, the machinery at the creature's back burst into life, charring the air with hot blue jet flame. It propelled itself sideways with a single blast, avoiding Zouichi's line of fire neatly as it whipped its chains forward once again. Several drones were once again in the way, however, and the resistance provided by their bodies allowed Zouichi ample enough time to dodge.

"How good a shot are you?" he shouted.
