The 3 Shadows, Episode 6 – Master hunter redemption

Chapter 7 – The fight for Redemption continues

Joz jetted towards the GUN fleet at quickly as the jets let him. He managed to catch up with the fleet and started slicing the robots as he came to them. They were no match for him one on one but as a group they were difficult to fight. However Joz was more determined than ever not to fail.

He felt his rage bubble inside him. He hadn't felt this angry since he first met Gerald. For all he had done to him, to final get his hands on that monster. He was so close. Then after the Deadly Gems tournament he realised he had been a monster too. Joz thought by reuniting the Robotniks he'd at least be on the path to redemption. Then the military had to intervene and ruined it all.

SLICE! KABOOM!

"Another two robots down", said Joz out loud while dodging the laser fire.

Half the fleet had grouped up with the robot holding Ivo to protect it as it approached GUN HQ. Meanwhile the rest of the fleet was busy being destroyed by Miles and Sapphire. The robots didn't stand a chance against them both and soon dropped like flies.

Once the last robot was destroyed Saph turned to Miles and smiled.

"Nice one kid. See ya!" said Saph about to jump off a nearby cliff.

"You going after the rest of them I suppose?" asked Miles.

"Yeah. I got dragged into this mess by Joz. Damn fool with his good heart landing him into trouble. It's not like me to care so much, yet I do", said Sapphire, "Anyway, you coming?"

"Not yet. I'm going to head back to the mansion and get Shadow", said Miles.

"Ok then", said Sapphire.

Sapphire jumped off the cliffs and flew in the direction of the fleet. She didn't have the Jet Wing and she began to wonder if she would ever catch up with the fleet. She shrug off that little doubt and flew as fast as she could anyway.

Miles meanwhile flew as fast as he could back to Joz's Mansion. He hadn't had time to take everything in so it was now that he realised just what his fellow Shadow had done.

Wow Joz! That's a side of you I didn't know existed. Good on you.

Miles Arrived at the mansion and told Shadow everything. Shadow took a moment to take it all in and grabbed Miles.

"There's no time for games. Joz needs us", said Shadow getting up.

Meanwhile Joz had managed to destroy most of the fleet but it was no use. They managed to get Ivo inside the base and shut down the gates, locking Joz out. Every time Joz tried to fly over the gates a barrage of bullets was fired at him. Too many to reflect with his blade, even too many to make the Armour wing ineffective. He could shield himself from the bullets but the force prevented him from moving forward.

Joz jetted towards the main gates and quickly took out the guards. It looked like the gates themselves could only be opened from the inside. He tried slicing them but the metal was too tough.

"Emeraldium! Dammit, now how do I get in?" said Joz out loud.

Joz thought about how to get in for a moment before punching the ground in frustration. He then climbed up the wall and poked his stealth wing over the wall. The bullets still shot at it.

"Infra-red sensors too. They are clever", said Joz.

Just then Sapphire arrived at the base.

"Need a hand?" asked Saph.

"It's no use. I can't get passed their guns and the walls are too tough", said Joz.

"I could help", said Saph.

"How? There's no way to get close enough to the gun turrets to get through", said Joz angrily.

"Calm down Joz. Remember what happened during our last battle, what you taught me", said Saph.

Joz took a deep breath as he realised Sapphire was right. He wasn't going to figure this out as angry as he was. Then he thought of something.

"Perhaps that might work", said Joz to himself out loud.

"What?" asked Saph.

"I have a plan, but I can't do it without you", said Joz.

"Whatever it is I'm in. We've come too far just to stop now", said Saph smiling.

"Ok, here's the plan", said Joz.
