Oh crap. Just realised the huge mistake I made. Kept the same format from Ultimate Life and so that's the reason why one of the fic titles in the last chapter says that.
Fics will be very slow because of a course I'm doing. Don't forget to check my Blog. The link is in my Bio, as well as pics and profiles for my characters. I always try and update my Blog with fic news. If you're too lazy to click my name above the link is Masterhunter "at" Blogspot "dot" com

The 3 Shadows, Episode 6 – Master hunter redemption
Chapter 2 – The bat is gone
A full day had passed and Shadow was enjoying a well earned rest. They had saved the world from Saturn, and Shadow was getting used to living on Earth. Miles however was panicking. Joz hadn't returned home. He was frantically searching all over the mansion for any clues to where he might be. Miles dashed to the window Shadow was looking out of and knocked him over.
"Hey cool it Miles", said Shadow, "Why are you panicking?"
"Joz still hasn't returned home. I think you may have hurt his feelings", said Miles.
"Good. It's what he deserves. Him and that blue bi…" said Shadow.
"That really isn't helping. Joz could be in danger", said Miles.
"I'm sure his Mercenary skills will help him get through anything", said Shadow, "After all it got him through Murder".
There was an awkward silence.
"Note to self, don't get on Shadow's bad side", said Miles.
Miles still kept looking for something, though he didn't know what.
"Miles you're really starting to annoy me. Look if you're really that bothered about him why don't you try the Deadly Gems, or that secret cave of his we found?" said Shadow.
"Yeah! I didn't think of that. Well let's get going", said Miles.
"We? Personally I don't care if Joz never comes back. But you go anyway if you want peace of mind", said Shadow.
"You're really not coming?" asked Miles.
"No", said Shadow.
Miles slowly left the mansion; with each step he wondered how Shadow could be so cold. As he went through the door he sighed and flew off towards the Mystic caves.
While all that was happening, Joz himself was trying to work out how to resolve this issue with Shadow. He began pacing while talking out loud.
"Ok let's review. Shadow is mad at me because of that Robotnik assignment I took. I was hired to kill Gerald's only family that wasn't on ARK. Although I couldn't kill all 3 family members, the Robotnik's are like family to him and so… No I have to stop making excuses. I killed, I'm the monster, it's all my fault. Well I don't want to be remembered as a monster. ARGH! What should I do? Think, Think. I didn't kill all the Robotniks, that's it, the kid… OK so it won't bring the two parents back but it's a start. But it might be dangerous, I should really get the other shad…no, but maybe…", said Joz.
Joz then smiled before jetting off towards the Mystic caves. He was a good distance in front of Miles at this moment, so it wasn't a surprise when he arrived at the caves first. He stood outside the caves and planned what to do next.
I don't need all the gems, only Sapphire. I can't risk being detected, or I could have another tournament on my hands.
Joz crouched down and surrounded himself with his wings. Using the Stealth wing he appeared to have vanished into thin air. He slowly moved into the caves and into the Deadly gems base.
He soon found himself wondering where to go next. He then heard some familiar voices down the corridor he was in. They were getting louder and louder, which meant they were coming closer and closer. It was Ruby and Emerald having a quick chat.
"I hate it when Saph hogs the training simulator", said Ruby.
"I thought you'd be used to it by now. She's always in there", said Emerald.
"Yeah but ever since Joz beat her she's been pushing herself much harder than usual. I'm worried she might take it too far", said Ruby.
"So what else is new?" said Emerald, "Saph always goes too far!"
They both laughed.
"I hope she takes a break soon. I would like to train today myself", said Ruby once the laughter died down.
Ruby and Emerald had by then reached the other end of the corridor.
Aw! Don't strain yourself lass. But while you're doing that I can search for your bedroom and surprise you…that sounded dirtier than intended...
Joz kept wandering down the cold sterile walls of the base until he found a huge door with the word Sapphire on it.
"This must be her room", Joz said before entering.
