Date Acceleration

Finding a New View

Accelerator is being held inside one of Ratatoskr's bases.

"White Reaper, she appears to be the most abnormal Spirit we have encountered. For starters, we have discovered many foreign unidentified materials in her body. This may explain many things, such as why we couldn't detect her or see her change into an astral dress. The next one is her abilities. We still couldn't get confirmation without any more footage or interaction with her. The most plausible one is some kind of telepathy or telekinesis." Reine discussed this with Shido and Kotori.

"That could explain why the results came out as male; either it had a malfunction or she kind of tampered with it. I mean, Natsumi did something similar and changed her physical descriptions to her ideal kind without us knowing. Maybe identifying as a male was a good cover for her and a good one for her voice and her conflicting appearance. Now our next course of action is to gain her cooperation and get more information from her." Kotori continued.

"What about the foreign material inside her?" Shido asked.

"You see, from her body we found, as I said before, something very foreign. There is no record of it from what we analyzed. It looked like genetic modification, like a mutation. It's like her body has been experimented on. The strange part is her body emits some kind of energy like that of a Spirit Power and Wizards, but the thing is it doesn't match, but what I can confirm there is a similarity or a correlation." Reine continued.

"That explains the hostile nature she must have been experimented with by DEM and why she is so interested in technology and having her own lab, but my next question is why would she want to go back to DEM?" Kotori replied and gave her own point.

"Maybe she was captured by some other group or, I am not saying it to be true, but possibly even Ratatoskr, someone went rogue or initiated a project under our noses," Reine added, looking at the two.

"This is going to be very difficult. We're dealing with someone with some heavy trauma, and we're on the line. If we're not careful, not only will we lose our Spirit, but DEM may get stronger." Kotori declared, with her arms folded.

"I'll do whatever it takes and my best to help her," Shido said with a clenched fist.

"Of course, you do, big bro, just be careful," Kotori replied with a strained yet hopeful smile.

"Do you think she can be classified as an Irregular Spirit?" Reine asked.

"Not sure, it's maybe too early for a full medical analysis that requires her full cooperation," Kotori replied.

"I think I may have an idea to help her," Shido commented as he grabbed his phone.

In the morning, Accelerator was resting on his bed, trying to adapt to the ongoing changes to his body. It felt like insects of different species were crawling inside him from head to toe. He wanted to test his abilities to see what he could do with the changes. However, he didn't want to anger Ratatoskr and was curious to see how they would deal with him.

He heard the sound of the door opening and turned to see Kotori and Shido.

"So does that mean I am free to go or are you still going to keep me as your pet?" Accelerator remarked sarcastically.

"All right, listen, we can't just let you roam around the city or even Japan, so how about this: why don't you stay with us for a while, then you're free to go," Kotori told the white monster who was in bed.

"Aren't you worried I might use this as an opportunity to backstab you and go with DEM?" Accelerator said with a dog-like smirk.

"It's true, but we're the only ones who are willing to talk to you. I can tell DEM has used some more violent methods to get you, so at least take this chance," Kotori said.
