When Accelerator entered the main domed facility, he started by shooting everyone holding a gun. First, he aimed his gun at one of the two men standing near Misuzu, a man with chains wrapped around his arms and legs, and casually pulled the trigger.
A dry gunshot rang out.
Seeing the man being blown to the side with blood spewing from his body, Misuzu gave a short scream.
Humans were quite inconvenient.
No matter how big they got, a mere 9mm hole could take them out.
"Y-you bastard!!" the remaining Skill-Out member yelled and aimed his gun towards Accelerator.
However, he hid behind the steel door, let a few bullets come, and then sprayed back some bullets of his own.
The man who had cuts in his shirt and pants hid behind a desk, but Accelerator silenced him by shooting straight through the desk.
(Now then…The only Skill-Out member left is…)
"Him."
Accelerator aimed and fired towards a dark figure that was dragging Misuzu by the arm towards one of the doors.
"Waaaaahhhh!?"
He heard a loud yell, but the bullets passed a bit to the side of the figure. Accelerator must have been worried about hitting Misuzu as she was next to the target. His aim had clearly been lacking.
In order to escape Accelerator's aim, the figure continued running along with Misuzu. Apparently, raising his hands above his heads and stopping never even occurred to the guy.
"Tch," Accelerator clicked his tongue. "Heh, now this is interesting… You've got guts to not give up on your job after all this."
A smile sliced its way across Accelerator's mouth and he aimed after adjusting his grip on his handgun.
"You're just a fucking failure! I might as well scrap you here!!"
"Shut up, you asshole! What did Misuzu-san do!? You Skill-Out bastards just targeted an innocent woman and then started fighting amongst yourselves!! Just kill yourselves off and don't bother us!!"
Accelerator heard a whining voice, but he concentrated on pulling the trigger instead of listening to it. But Misuzu's back was in the way so he couldn't fire.
And then the two had reached a different exit to the building.
Accelerator scratched his temple with the barrel of his gun.
(…Wait? You Skill-Out bastards?)
He thought about the words he had just heard.
(Did he think I was one of them? So he wasn't one of them? I thought Misaka Misuzu was the only person that was supposed to be using this facility… Was he part of Judgment?)
It also bothered him that the guy hadn't returned fire with a gun. Also, his movements hadn't seemed like those of someone who had gone through Anti-Skill or Judgment training.
(It's also odd that he knew Misaka Misuzu's name… Well, I guess it wasn't necessarily someone that knew her. Skill-Out may have been told the name of their target.)
For some reason, Accelerator fired his gun after them a few times and then headed further into the domed facility.
"Now then…"
He decided to chase after Misuzu and the figure that had run off with her.
He didn't know who that guy was, but, even if the guy was with Skill-Out, he probably wasn't going to kill her before he got to a safe place judging from the fact that he hadn't just shot her and ran off. And since no counterattack came when Accelerator entered the domed facility, he really must not have had a gun.
Which meant…
(I just have to catch him and finish this before he gets off of the database center grounds.)
After deciding on that, he heard a number of footsteps approaching from a number of different directions.
They must have heard the firefight.
It looked like he wasn't going to be able to continue on easily.
(I need to fall back and take them out from there. These business desks won't block bullets.)
Looking for a place to fight, Accelerator looked around the area, but then his head suddenly stopped.
There were 3 pieces of trash collapsed in the domed area.
And yet there were 4 handguns on the floor.
