The 3 Shadows, Episode 2 - Obsession

Chapter 1 - Is it Joz?

Today a special gem is being displayed in the Capitol City museum. It's the Blue Chaos Emerald, the centre of a special presentation about the science behind them. It's begins tomorrow as at the moment it's late at night. The only sounds come from the footsteps of the nightwatchmen and the gentle hum of the multiple alarm systems. The only light comes from the moon and the many torches carried by the guards. The only people in the building are the guards and…

A set of three guards patrol the corridors leading to the beautiful gem and out of the shadows It appears. It appears to be Joz coming from beneath his wings, but it doesn't look like something a new hero would do. A machine retracts sheets of metal that once covered his flesh wings. The mysterious figure moves towards the room in which the emerald is being held. He stands in the doorway and touches his Sunglasses.

"Infra-red beams surrounding the case, as it should be. But they're not problem for me", said the figure before jumping above the case.

The bat was hanging from the ceiling, just out of reach from the emerald. The bat reaches behind him and pulls out a sword. He then uses the sword to slice open the crystal case, exposing the emerald. The bat decends and quickly exchanges the emerald for a rock, before jumping over the other set of beams. He places the emerald in a small pouch connected to his belt before covering himself in his wings. And then suddenly the bat disappears into thin air.

Later another patrol enters the room in which the emerald used to lie. To their horror the emerald was gone. They quickly set off the alarms and soon the once silent halls of the musuem, were filled with the sounds of sirens and the red light of the bulbs on the ceilings. These halls and corridors soon filled with lots of armed guards searching for the robber. One manged to trip over thin air, they found the theif.

The bat quickly revealed himself from beneath his clocked wings as a couple of guards aimed their guns at the bat.

"Stop where you are. But you hands up into the air!" shouted the guards. The bat didn't comply and instead ran towards the guards. The guards began to fire their guns but the bat just reflected them with his sword. The bat got close enough and sliced the guns in half. The guards ran off while more, many more entered the corridor and started firing.

The bat jumped and hid behind two metal shields that came from absolutely nowhere. These shields seemed to cover its wings. The bat was completely covered with these shields but couldn't move at all. The guards soon noticed this and moved closer still firing. When they were almost next to the bat he jumped out of his armoured shell, sliced the guns in half and jumped out the nearest window. The guards followed through the city but it had managed to evade them completely. Whoever it was had gotten away with a chaos emerald.

The guards slowly walked back to the museum, heads bowed. They were failures and would inevitably get fired. One passed the newsstands and saw an article about three heroes who had saved a city from a maniac. He looked closer and recognised the bat theif as none other than the one in the picture.

I don't believe it, Joz of the 3 Shadow's a theif?
