Turf Battles

Turf Battles is the third volume of Accel

### Summary

Daniel gets a job working at an Ice Cream parlor after his friend, Buzz recommends him. After a date with Monica, she mentions her father meeting up with some strange men and wants to understand the meaning behind it through spying and blackmail. Daniel assumes that she wants to do this simply because George doesn't like him and that she shouldn't have to go that far for him and Monica mentions that that's not the reason before saying that she'll just work on it on her own.

Meanwhile, George is talking to Maceface, Barrage and Kobe about attacking Mister Glazz's business for a hostile takeover.

Kobe, Maceface and Barrage get into a bit of an argument about their roles in this war before agreeing to get on the same page for financial reasons.

While getting out of work, Danny encounters Jesse's spirit again, possibly beckoning him to go to the Stream as if they're connected somehow. Chasing Jesse's spirit to the desert, Daniel holds back running back home (something he claims to have never done before) and encounters Althea at his place who talks about his costume and being a superhero now.

Monica walks in while Danny is getting ready to put on his suit and sees Danny shirtless with Althea in the room and assumes the worst.

Meanwhile, someone is planning to using a tank.

Monica breaks up Danny after piecing together that she has a lot to deal with with Danny being a superhero and her father slowly turning into a villain.

Mister Glazz kills one of his workers in a rage after learning that Barrage was unavailable and learns that he's being attacked but is unaware that it's George that's doing it.

In a confrontation with a new foe that has a grudge for enhanced people and a power cancelling ray gun, Daniel almost slips into the stream and crashes into a wall trying not to go to it.

Donning herself, **Gun Reaver**, she challenges the National Guard while attacking Danny before blowing up her truck.

After the fray with Gun Reaver, Danny meets Althea and heads to the hospital, while he's recovering naturally (too shook to do the speed-heal), he encounters Jesse's spirit again only to follow it to the roof of the hospital.

Mister Glazz rallies his troops in hopes to attack George (who he still doesn't know) and appoints Midnight Blue to assist in hopes to figure out who George is. Meanwhile, he encounters **Professor Glass** who tells her that Midnight Blue's dark powers could probably be used as better weapons to which Glazz brings her back in hopes to contain her only for her to be rescued by Accel.

Accel finds himself in another research facility where he accidentally overpowers the machine after running too fast only for it to stop after learning about a disturbance on the other side of the city.

A giant called **Operation: Crank** is released onto the city who rampages only for Accel to intervene. After getting thrown, Accel encounters Jesse again who reminds him about his ability to heal himself.

Monica asks to work with George who ignores her requests only to get an idea on what he has to do next after she mentions that she broke up with Daniel.

After his fight with Crank, Althea alerts Daniel that his interaction with the Stream is possibly affecting his neurological state and killing him.
