[ Kroenen had already been well away from the tractor - nowhere near it in fact - when the horn burst through it. Where others displayed alarm, Kroenen responds with instant force. Spinning around at the sound of screeching, warping metal, the German throws both tonfa down to either side of himself, the blades sticking up in the ground and freeing his hands to draw his pistol in one smooth motion. He swings his arm out and straight, growling at Rin unintelligibly, indicating she should duck, though he wastes no time pulling the trigger three times; there is a loud report - crack-crack-crack - bullets connecting on shots made purely from reflex, zipping past the girl and into the offending creature. Only after the third shot is he able to register it isn't a complete creature - just part of one - making his head jerk to one side, cocking in confusion. What the blazes was he seeing? ]
