Accelerator

Chapter 15: Sector F, Fero

A few sets of railings and steps are the only way to reach the other side of a large chasm.

Hammerhead: "Finally."

Chase: "Let's hurry up and bust this generator before this place caves in or something."

The group heads across.

Meanwhile...

Demo: "(exhausted) Just a little more..."

Demo is on the verge of collapsing when a female Accelerator with dark skin, a pixie haircut and a few strands of copper hair mixed with the grey steps forward with a plasma pistol.

Demo: "(exhausted) What're you doing here?"

Accelerator: "Saving a few lives. Do you honestly have a problem?"

Demo: "(exhausted) It's why we're here."

She heads towards the south elevator.

Ten minutes later...

Hammerhead busts down another door, allowing them to arrive at the generator.

Lisa: "Finally. Let's hurry this up so we can catch a breather."

Hammerhead: "(cracking neck) I like the sound of that."

???: "The Cyan Blur and two second generations, Lisa Drill and Francis Breaks."

Fero stands to the side of the door.

Hammerhead: "(pissed) What did you just call me?"

Lisa snickers for a second.

Lisa: "(snickering) Francis?"

Hammerhead: "(pissed) Say that name again and you're going to wish Chase didn't save your ass."

She stops.

Chase: "So I'd assume that your the Basser equivalent around here?"

Fero slowly walks towards the generator.

Fero: "I am Fero..."

His eye begins to glow.

Fero: "... and I'd like our ultimate weapon back."

They ready for battle.

Chase: "Nice try, but I think I'm Demo's trumpcard now!"

Chase fades as Lisa takes to the sky and Hammerhead charges towards Fero.

Fero: "(smirking) Predictable."

With a few simple movements, he avoids all three attacks simultaneously.

Lisa: "Huh?"

Hammerhead: "It's that eye!"

Chase readies his wrist blades.

Chase: "How can we hit that thing if he can see everything we do?"

Chase fades again as Lisa's elbow dislocates.

Fero: "Easy, it's impossible."

Fero keeps dodging every blow.

Lisa: "You're just trying to wear us out."

Fero: "So that way I can get you back for reprogramming with no strings attached."

All three regroup.

Hammerhead: "How do you think we'll be able to beat a guy who can see the next move?"

Chase: "It'd be easier if we could completely surround him, but we just have to make due."

Lisa: "How about we..."

Lisa whispers her idea to the others.

Chase: "It's worth a shot."

They all rush towards Fero.

Fero: "By all means, burn your energy supply."

Chase is about to land a right hook.

Fero: "See?"

Chase switches to a left hook while Fero rests mid dodge.

Chase: "No, see how your eye doesn't read brain signals?"

Chase gets his fist straight through the eye while Hammerhead charges for the generator.

Fero: "(in pain) N-No!"

Lisa sends her fist through his back as Hammerhead makes a new gateway in the generator.

Fero: "(weakly) No..."

Hammerhead: "No one calls me that and lives to tell the tale."

The room is beginning to collapse.

Lisa: "W-We got to go!"

Chase: "Come on!"

They hurry out of the area.

Meanwhile...

Accelerator: "You get these guys to HQ."

The Accelerators are being evacuated to HQ.

Demo: "What're you doing?"

The Accelerator stands by the south elevator.

Accelerator: "Saving the trio."

Meanwhile...

Lisa: "I hope the Accelerators got out okay."

They're heading up the south elevator.

Hammerhead: "Most were already outside any-"

The elevator stops 15m away from the top.

Chase: "D-Dammit!"

???: "I'll deal with this."

The strange Accelerator hops down and grabs Lisa.

Lisa: "H-Huh?"

Accelerator: "I'm a Booster type."

She leaps out of the elevator in a single bounce and drops off Lisa before jumping back down.

Accelerator: "Alright, the hothead is next."

She grabs Hammerhead and hops out.

Hammerhead: "Seriously?"

The elevator is beginning to fall as she arrives to grab Chase.

Accelerator: "You ready hotshot?"

She grabs Chase.

Chase: "As ready as I'll ever-"

She jumps out just before the elevator crashes back down.

Accelerator: "Come on. We've got one hell of a shit show waiting for us."

Lisa: "Okay?"

They all head back to Demo...
