The 3 Shadows, Episode 2 - Obsession
Chapter 2 - Joz the fugitive
The next day the 3 Shadows were hanging in Joz's Mansion. Joz was using his training simulator. Miles was updating some new tool for them to use. Shadow merely sat looking out the nearby window. Not much time had passed since their fight with G-001 Mercury, but in that time certain things had been decided.
Although Joz wasn't too keen on the idea, His mansion had become their base. Miles and Shadow each had their own rooms, and Joz even made a lab for Miles. In return Miles created a new toy for Joz to play with. It was decided that Miles would build upgrades for the team, he was happy to do it. The 3 Shadows are starting to be known as world heroes, helping those who need it. Their friendships have grown so much since that incident, but one was about to be tested.
Joz walked down the stairs into the main hall, wiping sweat of his fur using a towel.
"Miles I want you to have a look at the training simulator. It's not challenging enough for me, make it harder", said Joz.
"Can do. In the meantime why don't you try my Jet wing upgrade again? I think I fixed the bugs", said Miles.
"Oh no, not that thing. My head still hurts from the last time. 3 days and it's still killing me", said Joz.
"Aw come on! I promise you'll have more control this time", said Miles.
"No, I think I'll just settle with the Stealth and Armour wing upgrades you gave me. Came in handy", said Joz.
Suddenly Shadow stood up puzzled, still looking out the window.
"Erm Joz, What do you think this massive GUN fleet wants?" asked Shadow.
"What?" replied Joz walking over to the window. Miles soon followed. Outside the window the sky was literally filled with GUN's troops. It was obvious they had some issues with The Shadows.
"Oh great what is it now?" asked Joz, "Oh well we might as well wait for their arrival"
The 3 sat at the bottom of the stairs. The waiting a while until several armed GUN guards smashed through the window. They all had their guns aimed at the Shadows.
"Was that really necessary? You can tell the general I expect him to reinburse me for those windows", said Joz.
"Yeah, just what's going on?" asked Miles.
"Master hunter you are under arrest for stealing the Blue Chaos emerald", said one of the soldiers.
"What? This is rediculous. I never stole nothing", said Joz, "And besides I meant to have an immunity. I am one of GUN's top agents"
"It's been revoked. Orders of the President. You have a lot of explaining to do", said the General appearing from behind the soldiers.
"Didn't you hear him. He said he's innocent", said Miles.
"Sorry guys," Said Joz before smashing into the soldiers, slicing up their guns before escaping his own home out of the smashed window.
Joz ran to the nearby forest. GUN and the other Shadows followed him but it was no use. Joz had escaped. Miles and Shadow looked on Shocked.
"I don't believe it. Joz a theif?" said Shadow.
"There has to be another explanation", said Miles.
"Sorry, but we've had a positive ID on Joz. A white bat, skilled swordsman, able to shield himself with his wings, able to turn invisible without warning. It sounds too much like Joz for it not to be him", said the General.
"So you're not one hundred percent sure it is him. There's still the possibility of framing", said Miles.
"What are you getting at?" asked the General.
"Well if you've ever read a comic book, usually there's some sort of evil clone, twin, or robot impersonating the hero", said Miles.
"This aint a comic book kid", said the General.
"Unfortunately until we can prove otherwise, we have to consider Joz as the main suspect", said Shadow.
"I can prove otherwise. He said so himself and as a friend I trust him", said Miles.
"But he ran off. Looks like we have an investigation on our hands", said Shadow.
I'm so confused, Joz a thief? Part of me wants to believe he's innocent but from what the General says the other part thinks it is him. Please don't let it be true.
