[John frowns when Ryu takes the first hits meant for him. Then the next. Using a human - or half-human - shield makes him uncomfortable, however tough the young man might be.]
Dodge. Don't take the hits straight on. I can move and find cover if they're too much a bother.
[They are enough of a bother that he's out of bullets with only two of them down out of the assembled dozen. There's the blue magazine clip in his pocket. He doesn't particularly want to use, it but he's drawn to it, just as he had been the day he'd arrived in El Sera. With a muttered curse, John ejects his spent clip and slams in the other magazine. He transforms in a burst of light. He's in a black vest, pair of shoes, and slacks, with a fancy white shirt and electric blue cravat. The costume is embarrassing, but considering present company and the new white and blue assault rifle in his hands, he's not going to mention it.
John zeroes in on the pixies again, and when he shoots this time, the bullets come with their own crackling light and shatter the pixies they hit. He'll worry about how this makes absolutely no sense once they're out of danger.]
