Chapter 5 - Enter Master hunter

Shadow and Gerald arrived in a blinding green light at the green hill zone.

"Ok Doctor, what's going on?" asked Shadow.

"GUN just do not trust me with Project Shadow", replied Gerald.

"But I'm Project Shadow, the ultimate lifeform. And I bow to no man", said Shadow, "I trust you as a friend but you don't order me around".

"It's more complicated than that. They wanted to terminate Project Shadow, they want to kill you. It's why Maria died", Said Gerald

"Maria died because of me. I thought that might be the case", said Shadow bowing his head. He clutched his fists and started to feel very very angry.

"I'M SO USELESS, WHY COULDN'T I SAVE HER?" Shouted Shadow.

"Calm down Shadow. It's not your fault it's GUN's", said Gerald, "And speaking of which, we need to find a new hiding place"

"That's another question, where are we going?" asked Shadow

"Angel Island. It's considered nothing more than a myth since it hasn't actually been found. I'm assuming the maps I had you study told you the location of Green hill, but they definitely wouldn't show where Angel Island is", said Gerald.

"If it's still hidden after all these years what makes you think we'll find it?" asked Shadow.

"You. You have a link with the power of Chaos. I'm sure we can use that to find the legendary Master Emerald", Said Gerald, "First things first, the plane. I almost had it finished before GUN caught me. Let's see, I'll just tilt the wings a little more to get the best lift force, and there, done"

Gerald had turned the wings slightly so the front end was higher up. Gerald jumped in the cockpit and shadow grabbed hold of the wings.

"Hold on tight Shadow, we're off to Angel Island", said Gerald. He started the engine and the greyish plane took off into the even greyer skies. As Green hill became nothing more than a green dot, Shadow started to feel something.

"It's faint but I'm getting a sensation. Turn a little to the left and keep going forward", said Shadow. Gerald did so and the plane disappeared into the clouds.

The next day Miles entered the Prison Island complex looking for Shadow. A news report earlier told him of Shadow's daring rescue. He entered the main office of the GUN general. No one was there in the large room, which only had a large desk for furniture and had several security camera screens on the wall to his left. The large windows ahead of him were the only things letting light into the room.

"Who are you?" asked a voice above him. He looked up to see a large humanoid bat hanging from the roof. The bat then fell to the ground, opened his wings and landed gently on the floor, "Don't tell me GUN are hiring Children now"

"I'm Miles Prower, I'm looking for Shadow the hedgehog. And I am no child. Just who are you anyway?" asked Miles, trying to be brave despite the huge bat intimidating him.

"You're pretty tough sounding for a kid. They call me Master hunter, and I'm here cause GUN summoned me. Probably offering me another bounty hunter job", said the Bat.

Master hunter wore a long black coat, which was split at the back so his wings could move with ease. He wore sunglasses, a belt and big black boots. The rest of his body was covered in white fur. Couldn't have been more than 25 years old. Miles just caught a glimpse of a sword of some kind before Master hunter moved to the desk. Just then a large uniformed man walked through the door.

"Nice to see you Master hunter, oh and who might you be?" asked the Man.

"I'm Miles Prower and I'm a friend of Shadow the Hedgehog", said Miles.

"Well run along now, this is an matter for the adults", said the Man.

"Let him stay General. I like him, he's only concerned for his friend", said Master hunter.

"Oh alright", said the General, "Onto the matter at hand. I need someone to track down two fugitives"

"Let me guess, Shadow the Hedgehog and Gerald Robotnik?" asked Master hunter

"Yes. We last saw them leaving Green hill on a grey plane north east of the Island. We haven't been able to track him", said the General.

"That's all I needed to hear. Don't worry I've never failed yet and I don't intend to now", said Master hunter.

"And what will you do when you find Shadow? I don't trust you, so I'm coming too", said Miles.

"No offense kid but you'd only slow me down", said MH

"Do you know how to fly a plane or how to get one?" asked Miles. MH stood still.

"And I suppose you do?" asked MH

"As a matter of fact I do. I have my own Plane, the Tornado at my house outside Green woods. I could fly you up there," replied Miles.

"Oh alright, lead the way. But remember this is my mission, your only job is to fly me up there", said MH, "I usually work alone but I admit I need someone's help here"

Miles walked out of the door, closely followed by MH.
