Nightshift 24: Entry Room

( coming from here.)

The hall was dark and quiet as Max led the way deeper into the building and away from the dorms. She could hear the faint murmur of voices coming from... somewhere, but couldn't quite pinpoint a location

Rukia was torn between stopping to talk to Vice Captain Hinamori and staying with Colonel Mustang. On the one hand, she was here tonight to assist the Colonel, and protect him (which he clearly needed, considering his apparently weakened condition) while he tried to open the door. On the other, Rukia has to assume that Vice Captain Hinamori had only just woken up here tonight; none of the other Shinigami had mentioned seeing her. While Rukia had no doubt that Hinamori could take care of herself, shouldn't the other Shinigami at least be informed of their situation

This wasn't working. Just as he had said earlier, they weren't meant to get through, and this thing - far too strong, even for the monsters of this place - was proof of it. It had already taken out two of them, and Roy doubted it was going to stop there.

When Valyn's hit caused the chimera to jerk to the side, he was dragged back onto his feet and along with it. The shield was starting to weaken, and he could feel its fangs digging into his skin.

He tried to heed Valyn's advice before things got out of hand, gritting his teeth as he tried to yank his arm away, but the creature's jaws were too strong for that, and he was basically dragging its teeth through his flesh--which meant that he gave up on that idea sooner rather than later.

So he was an open target, completely powerless when both of its paws descended. The claws started to dig in around his chest and pulled down from there -- and that was when everything went black.
