Eiji grabbed onto both of their hands, then began to rise up rapidly through the air. "Hold on tight! We might be in for a rough landing."

While many of the floors were empty, it wasn't long before Eiji felt the first bullet whistle past. There was a terrified looking pair of civilians on the landing just above them, as well as a tight cluster of Anoli shouting in alarm.

Yep, this would be the rough landing part. Eiji buzzed past them in a rush of wind, setting his two passengers quickly down before dive-bombing the crowd of assailants. He wasn't sure what Yoshino and Nanami could do, so it was the least he could do to grant them some cover before the fighting started in earnest.
