Chapter 22: First Five
A few weeks later...
The team has had their wounds treated after the run in with Emisall in Sector E, but still need a bit more time to fully recover.
Julie: "Emisall really had us on the ropes. Managed to incapacitate you two at the start of the fight."
Lisa: "He was really fast!"
Hammerhead: "He just attacked differently compared to last time."
Chase: "Luckily we had you around. Without you, we would've had to stop the-"
A knock is heard at the door.
Julie: "Come in."
A young, male Accelerator around 16 with yellow skin, long, messy, metallic grey hair with a streak of light green on the left side, and the standard Accelerator attire steps in with Chase's father.
Boss: "Still recovering?"
Lisa: "Y-Yeah..."
The Accelerator takes a cautious step forward.
Accelerator: "I-I uh... never got to thank you u-uh..."
Julie: "It's Julie."
The others are confused.
Hammerhead: "Who's this kid?"
Boss: "The last of the first five Accelerators to escape MONO. His name is Kyoya Okumura, a Grapple type. Julie pulled them both out of Sector A."
Kyoya is clearly getting really flustered.
Kyoya: "I-It'll be a pleasure to work with you!"
Chase: "Calm down man, we don't bite."
Hammerhead: "Unless you try to pull something."
Kyoya quickly takes a seat a fair distance away from the others.
Boss: "Go easy on him."
They all glance towards him.
Boss: "He didn't live a good life."
Boss exits the room.
Lisa: "No one lived a good life."
Kyoya is beginning to cry.
Kyoya: "(crying) Don't make me relive that nightmare."
The others look at Kyoya in confusion.
Everyone: "(in head) What did he go through?"
However...
MONO is currently running diagnostics on the current situation.
MONO: "With 3 out of 6 generators out of commission, my processing power had been unexpectedly amplified by an unknown degree."
The remaining three men aren't present at the moment.
MONO: "Maybe I can finally be free..."
MONO's calculations wrap up.
MONO: "... maybe I can finally live."
