Nightshift 40: Cafeteria

There was no need to tarry long here, Endrance thought, as he quickly made his way over to the nearest door leading outside. He put his hand on the handle, pushed it...and it didn't move. "That's odd," he said, trying it a second time. When it didn't move, then, he sighed huffily. He couldn't pick the lock, so there was only one other option.

He moved back a few steps and charged at the lock in an all-too-familiar motion, one so reminiscent of doing battle that he almost felt the urge to shout an attack name as he did so. The pipe struck the lock, breaking it.

Endrance nodded once, then moved on.

Something alerted Yue to danger, though he wasn't sure what - perhaps the faint ticking in the quiet darkness of the cafeteria, or just the sound of the movement as he attacked. As he turned toward their attacker he had but a split second to react: his first thought was of Sakura's safety, but Touya's cry and the movement he could see out of the corner of his eye reassured him on that front.

Instead, the guardian lunged forward toward the figure, intending to distract him from the other two long enough to allow them to either escape the way they'd come or move on; it hardly mattered, so long as they managed to get out of danger. It was too close for him to use his bow, so Yue settled for aiming to drive an elbow into the figure's throat.
