A short while later...

Hammerhead crashes through the front door of the mountain laboratory with the others slamming face first into the opposing wall.

Hammerhead: "Uh... last stop?"

Everyone awkwardly turns towards Hammerhead out of malice before they get their heads on straight.

Julie: "(sighing) We can get on his case later. We've got a generator to find."

They take in their surroundings. They're inside a large room that reaches three stories tall, with the upper levels being visible through a layer of glass and several hallways branching out into the rest of the facility.

Chase: "We won't get anywhere by sticking around here. We'd better find an elevator or some stairs."

They start evaluating their options.

Kyoya: "S-So uh... which way should we go?"

Lisa: "Let's head west and do a clockwise rotation."

Julie: "Better plan that whatever Hammerhead could've cooked up."

They start heading for the west hallway as more footsteps begin to echo.

Hammerhead: "Now of course there'd still be a couple of these bastards roaming the place."

The hallways are lined with doors leading to smaller labs and IV bags.

Julie: "Looks like this place is some sort of hospital/ research facility."

The footsteps are growing ever so close.

Kyoya: "C-Can we talk about that la-"

Julie fires a shot directly behind her, knocking out an Accelerator.

Julie: "Let's go before more show up."

Lisa: "Don't have to tell me twice!"

They pick up the pace.

Meanwhile...

The Demo Accelerators are charging straight for the enemy in hopes of keeping them from attacking the others.

Accelerators: "We won't let you through!"

Both sides lock into combat, with the Demo side vastly overpowering the enemy.

Accelerators: "That's a promise!"

Meanwhile...

Calius's limbs have been completely severed, him screaming in pain as a result.

Calius: "(shrieking in pain) Hurry MONO! I can't lose any more blood!"

MONO: "Don't worry, it'll only take a second."

MONO is starting to sound more human.

Calius: "(squirming) H-Huh? Wh-What's happening to you MONO?"

MONO: "Nothing you should worry about..."
