Chapter 9 - Comfronting GUN
The next day the 3 headed to Prison Island. Shadow entered the General's Office before Joz and Miles. The General looked up and smiled.
"Excellent! I Knew I could count on you Master hunter", said the General.
"Actually he's here by his own free will and we have some questions we want you to answer, before we go after Gerald", said Joz.
"Let me guess, you want to know why we attacked ARK?" asked the General.
"No, I want to know why you murdered my Best friend?" asked Shadow angrily.
Well OK, I suppose you deserve to know everything. We hired Gerald to create the Ultimate lifeform. We called this Project Shadow. Unfortunately while Gerald wanted to create helpful creatures we wanted powerful weapons to help us defend against anything. Gerald openly defied us and was becoming a liability. We feared out top secret plans would get out and destroy our image. Who would want a government playing god and creating creatures of mass destruction? We decided the best course of action would be to terminate all records of Project Shadow, which included all who worked on the project. Of course somehow Shadow and Gerald survived, and we had to take action. We hired Master hunter due to his past with Gerald's old company R.E.E., we knew he wouldn't turn the offer of hunting the one man he wants to kill most.
"You Monsters!" shouted Shadow angrily. He ran up to the General and grabbed him.
"All of this, Maria's death, done to prevent you looking bad"
"Shadow, no, not yet. He'll be useful in finding Gerald", said Joz. Shadow let go of the General.
"The only reason why I'm letting you go, for now, is Maria's wish", said Shadow.
"That's very wise Hedgehog. You don't want to be our main target do you?" asked Gerald.
"General, I think Shadow will be a great ally in the fight against Gerald. He's sworn revenge and that could spell trouble for the world", said Joz, "Drop all charges against him on the grounds he and myself stop Gerald before he gets out of hand".
"Hey what about me?" asked Miles.
"I'm still not sure a kid like you should be fighting probably the most dangerous person this planet has ever known", said Joz, "Perfect Shot or not..."
"Stop it, no matter what you say I coming", said Miles.
Suddenly several robots came storming into the office.
"General it's Gerald Robotnik. He's managed to get his hands on a huge mechanoid tank. He's destroying all at will. Our forces are no match, what are we to do?" asked one of the Robots.
"Master hunter, you've got a deal. You and Shadow go and fight Gerald. We'll send reinforcements", said the General.
"Come on guys, we have a job to do", said Joz leading the way.
Later on Joz, Shadow and Miles were staring Geralds big robot in the face. It was mainly black and red, stood several stories high and had "G-001" on its side. The robot smashed into buildings while lasers smashed into the road. Something needed to be done.
"Gerald, Stop this madness. This isn't what Maria wanted!" shouted Shadow.
"Nonsense. Her death was a wake up call for me. The people seem to want weapons to kill each other and they want me to create them. The people are not worthy of life", said Gerald.
"Listen I know you're upset, I'm upset too. But you don't understand I was there. Maria wanted Happiness, she made me promise I would do all I could to make sure it happened. If it means going through you so be it", said Shadow grabbing the green chaos emerald.
"Noble Shadow, but what do you think you can do against this machine? The G zero zero one Mercury in unbeatable", said Gerald.
"Anything I can, CHAOS CONTROL!!" shouted Shadow before warping to Mercury's Arm. Shadow Smashed into it with a spin but reflected off.
"You fool, your attacks can't even dent Mercury", said Gerald before pounding Shadow into the ground using Mercury's right arm.
Meanwhile Miles was making some adjustments to his wrist shooters. The tubes that brought paintballs to the bracelets were replaced with bullet clips. Joz was busy attacking Mercury with all he had, striking with the Annemuir and cutting off some armour on the left foot. Gerald responded by Kicking Joz away with Mercury's foot. Miles shot as many bullets as he could at the machine but they just reflected off it.
"Little Flies, all of you", said Gerald. He was just about to smash Miles with a punch from Mercury's right arm as Shadow warped in took Miles away from harm. The 3 heroes gathered together.
"It's obvious we can't destroy it with traditional methods. We need a plan", said Shadow
"I have an idea", said Miles. And the 3 began planning how to take down Mercury as Gerald kept on smashing into anything he could.
