Chapter 5: Demo
A small jolt is sent into the back of the two Accelerators' necks.
Lisa: "Huh?"
A Demo member steps out from behind them.
Demo Member: "It's to prevent them from jacking into your nervous systems from a distance."
Chase and Lisa rub the backs of their necks.
Chase: "Thanks."
Boss: "Well, good to know that they've lost the deadliest weapon in their arsenal."
Chase's father turns around.
Boss: "Why don't you take them to the barracks?"
Demo Member: "Right away."
The member leads them out of the room.
Lisa: "O-Okay."
The Accelerators leave the room.
Demo Member: "Follow me."
They're being lead through the crowds, getting stares.
Crowd: "(whispering) Did we just get the Cyan Blur on our side?"
Chase: "Guess I really am quite the the Accelerator."
They people are in awe that Chase is on their side.
Lisa: "It... feels strange."
A large building labeled, "barracks," stands before them.
Demo Member: "You can choose whatever beds you want."
The member walks away.
Lisa: "O-Okay."
They step inside to find dozens of soldiers all over the bunk beds inside.
Soldier 1: "You..."
They look at Chase with disgust.
Chase: "Huh?"
Soldier 2: "I don't care if you're with us."
Soldier 3: "That body killed my closest friends without a second thought."
They all look away from Chase.
Lisa: "That shouldn't be surprising."
Chase and Lisa head to a bunk in the corner.
Chase: "Why?"
Lisa: "Well uh, I'm a second generation Accelerator."
Chase: "(darkly) So you saw what our bodies did?"
Lisa: "Y-Yeah, and it wasn't pretty."
Chase lies down on the bottom bunk.
Chase: "(in head) The only thing I saw for those four years was that day on repeat."
Lisa: "But we're going to end this Accelerator program!"
Chase: "Yeah..."
Chase falls asleep, thinking about everything that had transpired that day...
