Shindou only had a moment to exult as the gun slipped loose from their attacker's grip. Then, the weapon was sliding across the foyer floor towards them, leaving him to lunge against the increased weight of his limbs to grasp onto it. One hand slapped down onto its stock; the other grasped the handle near the trigger, jerking it up to wield it in both arms.
Before he could actually aim it anywhere, however, the added force of the re-doubled gravity collapsed down upon them. Shindou grimaced, muscles struggling to keep himself upright. If he hadn't been off his feet already, he was certain he would be by now. Yet, world bearing down on them or not, they had to take advantage of the edge they'd gotten...
So, focusing on that mental link he'd set up with Tenma, he let loose the bolt of energy that he'd been holding back on. Tenma would be able to feel it rippling through him like a wave, re-doubling muscles' strength and muting any hint of strain and fatigue. Meanwhile, on his own end, it was just enough for Shindou to struggle against the pressure shackling him, lifting the submachine gun to point in the U-Man's direction. One finger hovered (albeit extra carefully) over the trigger, as he fought to keep it in position.
"Let us go!" Speaking at all like this nearly hurt, but somehow Shindou wrenched out a barking yell. "Right now! Let all of us go, and get out of here, or I'll -- I'll use this...!"
