Accelerator

Chapter 21: Sector E, Emisall

One hour later...

Julie is defending everyone from Accelerators as they hop on the lift.

Lisa: "We're good Julie! Get on!"

The lift descends as she hops on.

Julie: "Remember, we won't be able to use this lift once we blow this thing to kingdom come, so Lisa and I will get us up and out."

Chase: "I like that plan."

They arrive at the bottom, where they come face to face with the generator.

Hammerhead: "Looks like they made this job easier."

Hammerhead charges up to smash it.

Hammerhead: "Go ahead and back off while I smash this thing!"

The others make way for Hammerhead.

Chase: "After you."

Hammerhead smashes straight into the generator, ending things with a bang.

Julie: "Now let's get out of here before the whole place crumbles!"

The entire complex is beginning to rumble as Lisa grabs Chase and Hammerhead joins with Julie.

Lisa: "Hold on tight!"

They fly up the shaft and arrive at the main area to find Accelerators frantically heading for the exit.

Chase: "(in head) This is too easy."

Julie: "(in head) Where's Emisall?"

They all begin to follow them.

Lisa: "Can't wait to get out of here!"

The ceiling is beginning to leak.

Hammerhead: "Personally, I just want to get some sleep."

???: "Sadly, you won't get that."

Emisall rockets into Hammerhead's back from behind, sending him straight through several chunks of equipment.

Emisall: "You honestly though you'd be home free?"

Chase readies his plasma blades while Lisa dislocates her elbow and Julie draws her pistol.

Lisa: "K-Kind of..."

Hammerhead is ripping himself out of the chunks of metal surrounding him, but he's hurt pretty badly.

Chase: "You okay?"

Hammerhead: "(in pain) I'm still alive, aren't I?"

Emisall focuses his attention on the other three.

Emisall: "Such a shame that I couldn't get here fast enough to salvage the generator, but as long as I can get you four out of the picture, it won't mean much."

Chase phases out as Emisall charges for Lisa at blistering speeds.

Julie: "Those legs pack a punch!"

Lisa gets in the air just before Emisall can tackle her as the floor starts to become covered in water.

Emisall: "Nice try."

Emisall quickly rebounds off the floor and headbutts Lisa in the gut, sending her flying into the ceiling, causing it to crack more.

Julie: "Lisa!"

Lisa falls to the ground right next to Hammerhead as Chase reappears behind Emisall.

Chase: "Remember me?"

Chase manages to only make a light cut on Emisall's back before they start falling towards the ground.

Julie: "Move Chase!"

Emisall grabs Chase by his hood and tosses him towards Julie.

Chase: "Just shoot!"

Chase is trying to phase out in time, but he's moving too fast.

Julie: "If you say so."

Emisall lands on the ground as Chase crashes into the ground.

Emisall: "Three down, one to go."

Julie leaps into the air with Emisall following behind her.

Julie: "Sorry, but you're stopping at three."

Julie shoots Emisall in the face right beneath her, each one making a deeper and deeper mark.

Emisall: "Your type shouldn't be equipped with a plasma pistol!"

Julie: "Maybe if you weren't the one who ruined everything."

Emisall realizes something as they begin to fall.

Emisall: "You were the bug in the system."

Julie pulls the trigger one final time, shooting Emisall right between the eyes.

Julie: "About time."

Julie lands on the ground as the water level starts to rise faster and faster and Chase stumbles onto his feet.

Julie: "Still breathing?"

Chase: "(dazed) I won't be if we don't get out of here."

Lisa is out cold and Hammerhead is barely on his feet.

Julie: "I'll help Hammerhead while you carry Lisa."

Chase gets Lisa on his back and Julie acts as support for Hammerhead.

Hammerhead: "(in pain) Let's hurry up. I'd rather not go for a swim."

They book it out of there as fast as they can.
