Nightshift 41: Entry Room

[From here]

Kibitoshin stepped into the room, hope renewed. It looked like some kind of reception area if the two desks on either side of him were anything to go on, both absolutely pristine as though everything had been tidied away only seconds before he'd stepped into the room. On top of that there were enough doors here to keep him busy for hours yet. But the Kaioshin's efforts were focused rather further away than reconnaissance; at the end of the room were a pair of wide double doors, and beyond them was the outside. A little giddy, he hurried towards them, reached out, pulled, and-

- nearly wrenched his hand out of its socket. They were locked! Kibitoshin stared at them blankly for several moments, as though they would spring open if he willed it hard enough. Once it became apparent that his night was going to continue being so very distinctly free of miracles he sighed and dropped his hand. "Of course they're locked. That would be way too easy..."

For one moment, it seemed like they might win. Tsukasa had even begun to smile despite his exhaustion, as the avatar that Haseo summoned did its work, seeming to cause massive damage to the AI. Even though Haseo fell, it really seemed like it had worked and they could move on, away from this creature.

It didn't last very long.

All too soon, the rubble shifted and through the dust stepped the AI. It looked broken, cracks running across it and bits crackling as it moved. But it was alive and it didn't look like it was going to let them escape unscathed.

Tsukasa barely had time to register the bracelet, the beams of light which haded right towards them before one hit him, the impact sending him against the wall, and then everything went black.
