As much as he chubby man in grass stained overalls had been talking a big game, he'd really hoped that Ginko would somehow come to his senses. If there had been some shred of doubt, some sign of reason or genuine kindness, they could have stalled out before escalating to violence.

The sudden flare of her magic, however, brings that chance to an unyielding crash. Greg knows her feel just as well as Steven, and as soon as Ginko tenses up Greg follows through on his promise.

From the outside, there's a hilarious anticlimax as Greg begins firing little pellets at Ginko, the springs giving a cheery little twang! after each round. Ginko, however, will find the bite of the little lead ball bearings far more painful than the force behind them.

Greg closes the distance between them, firing all the way, to grab at Steven. "Come on!"
