The danmaku wave was now tearing into the structure, shattering windows and leading the pellets of energy through its interior; one particular shot struck the Krieg sniper square in the face; though not lethal, it was like getting hit by a baseball thrown by a professional pitcher, and it stunned him enough to cause his weapon to drop. The pellets reacted more violently with the building proper, some of them detoniating into small explosions which tossed sharp glass shards all across the area; the Empire Arms structure was looking in pretty nasty shape, all things considered. The remaining sky team, feeling that they had successfully cleared that end of the building, ascended in order to continue their scouting orders.
At ground level, the smoke had dissipated enough that the tanks had a clear shot at the entrance; the medium tank took the time to fire yet another HE round into the building, while the remaining light tank continued to support it by shooting more small round shots. The shotgunchaun hid behind an odd piece of debris and started shooting at whatever was behind the door, the dust still obscuring exactly what lurked within, while the crewfairies from the wrecked tank continued their retreat.
On the left side of the flat, the artillery fairies noticed the two short, stiff men attempting to converse with their apparent allies, and waved to get their attention, the blue-haired fairy with pigtails starting the dialog.
"Hi! Are you with these guys here? We don't know what they're saying, but they've been helping us fight off a bunch of meanies! Uh, speaking of meanies, I think something is attacking us from the direction you came; can you help us lug that gun over there so it's facing the other direction: it's too heavy for us to move anymore!"The two stood a moment as the colorfully dressed men were staring at them like they themselves had gone insane.
"Hello? Mister?"
