The 3 Shadows, Episode 2 - Obsession
Chapter 9 - Escape without Chaos
It was another one of those things that reminded him of THAT day, the sirens wailing loudly, red light bulbs flashing, the do or die mentality. By now Shadow had gotten used to it, but that doesn't mean he started to like it. Without the Chaos emerald he couldn't Chaos control out of the building. This escape was entirely up to their own running ability.
Lots of Robots filled the corridors that were laters sliced in two by Joz's sword, shot down by Miles' wrist shooters, or smashed to pieces by Shadow's spin attack. Blast doors fell as the Shadows just managed to slip under them. They had already worked out Gerald had taken the Chaos emeralds. Joz was starting to sense them again.
"Guys I'm sensing the Chaos emeralds. Follow me, the signal should lead us to Gerald", said Joz flying ahead with his Jet wing. Shadow just nodded as he pulled Miles along. Down numerous corridors they moved towards the nearest exit as fast as they could. The sirens were telling them two minutes were left.
Gerald could be seen on a walkway above them in a car of somekind. Joz moved over to Shadow and grabbed the other two Shadows. The Three flew up towards Gerald and managed to get in front of him.
"Where are the Chaos Emeralds Gerald?" asked Shadow.
"We haven't got time for this", replied Gerald. He pressed a button and the vehicle started firing bullets at them. Joz shielded them from the bullets using the armour wing. Miles shot the gun as Shadow moved over to Gerald. He made a grab for the emeralds but could only pull out the one. As luck would have it, it was the Green Emerald.
Gerald zoomed off as the Shadows persued. It wasn't long before they caught up with him again. Gerald released some oil from the back of his vehicle. The sirens reminded them they only had one minute left.
"Enough, there's no time for games", said Shadow speeding up and striking the vehicle, it swerved a little, but Gerald managed to counter it and headed on straight forward. The final Blast door was closing and Gerald pressed one more button.
Suddenly the car had jet engines, in which he used to get out of the base with 30 seconds left. The Blast door has closed, trapping the Shadows inside.
"Now what do we do?" asked Miles.
"We're OK. So Gerald got away, grab my hand both of you", said Shadow. Joz and Miles proceeded to do so.
"CHAOS CONTROL!!" shouted Shadow and with the traditional green aura the 3 were warped outside the base.
Outside they saw Gerald in his little car driving off. He smiled as the Base exploded behind him.
"There's no way Shadow and his friends could've gotten out of that one", said Gerald, "It's a shame, Shadow turned out to be quite the fighter". He looked back, and to his horror saw the 3 Shadows were still persuing him. Why am I so surprised? I did create Shadow after all.
Suddenly Joz appeared on the right side of the Vehicle. He flew low and slashed the tyres on his car. Gerald could no longer control the car and found himself heading towards a cliff edge.
"NOOO!" Shouted Gerald before falling off the edge. The other Shadows caught up with Joz who was now stationary.
"Well it's not the way I wanted it to go. I would've preferred Gerald to die by my blade", said Joz.
"He's dead?" asked Shadow looking slightly upset.
"I'm assuming so, who could've survived that?" replied Joz.
"The Villian always comes back, no matter how certain you think he death is", said Miles, "Unless of course it's the final episode, and this is only our second adventure".
"Again with the comic books. This is real life Miles", said Joz. Shadow laughed.
"Let's go home", said Shadow. They all agreed and Shadow warped them back to Joz's mansion.
