The lever looks pretty rusty, but luckily, Knight is strong enough to get it to crank- not that that's a huge feat or anything.
And crank it does, raising up quicker than a door that size probably should, and making a considerable amount of noise, thanks to the metal scraping against metal, and the loud echoes from the concrete floor and ceiling. A deeply unpleasant groaning sound, and a screeching noise as it ground to a halt at the top. There wouldn't be too much time to enjoy the silence now that all that was over, though, because no sooner than the door finished opening, than about six Creeps came bounding towards the wolf faunus, slavering jaws snapping and salivating as they charged to their doom.
And it was definitely their doom they were charging into- Knight's Semblance was scorching hot, and even exerting more energy than usual bring down a crowd of that size, they were so much weaker than her, it wouldn't take much to dispatch the lot of them.
Maybe Creeps were an issue for less powerful people, but for Knight, they were gone in the blink of an eye, nothing remaining but white hot flames, before they too were extinguished.
The excitement wasn't yet over, however- as she and Red stepped into the room to continue exploring the warehouse, without warning, the heavy metal door behind them came crashing down again, hitting the ground with a loud clanging thud. There was another lever, to their left, but any attempt to use it would first dangerously bend it, about halfway through cranking it, and further attempts would snap the lever handle off entirely.
Whatever the case, the door they'd entered through was busted, but the door leading out into the hallway was still there, which was nice and convenient.
Seems like the carpenter and the big metal door maker guy had their work cut out for them.
Inside the room itself, there were- unsurprisingly- more boxes and crates. A lot of longer boxes, containing unfilled dust canisters, and a pair of smaller boxes which had some weird-looking tools in them; Red might note that they seemed to be useful for repairing damaged dust cartridges, like the kind that powered her car battery, and presumably, whatever equipment the warehouse was used to store.
If the two were satisfied with those two rooms, proceeding through the door into the hallway, and then into the smaller corner room, would reveal two empty crates, and the slightly-ajar door into another hallway- through which, more hissing sounds could be heard, and the closer the two got to the door, the louder they became, until a muffled, but distinct, hiss could be heard through the first door on their right. Continuing further along the hallway a bit would confirm that all three of the first few doors were emanating the same soft, steady, hiss.
And whatever that hissing was, it didn't sound very good.
