The 3 Shadows, Episode 8 - Deep Pressure
Chapter 3 - Welcome to Deep Pressure
Joz and Miles attacked a Robot each but couldn't get a hit in. They kept copying the two Shadow's moves and used them against them. Miles was hit by a tail that morphed from one of the robots, while Joz felt a copy of The Annemuir's Blunt side strike him. Both Shadows recovered and examined them carefully.
"Attacking them one on one doesn't work. Let's try two on one instead," said Miles
"Good idea. Can you use your mud down here?" asked Joz.
"I think so", said Miles.
Miles fired a stream of mud at 18b. It did try and copy the skill but the mud covered its eyes blinding it. 18c copied the skill and fired a stream of mud at Miles. Meanwhile Joz built up some momentum and used the Shadow Blade on 18b. Still blinded by Miles' mud, 18b was soon sliced in two by the bat's blade. Joz turned to find 18c was using The Shadow Blade against Miles.
"MILES! Shoot your lasers now", said Joz.
Just as 18c was about to strike Miles, Miles charged his lasers and fired straight into the robot. It fell backwards before recovering. Miles scrapped the mud from his eyes to find 18c was charging his own big laser strike. Miles tried to move but it was no use, 18c had fired his lasers. Joz dove in between the Miles and the lasers and brought up his Armour wing to shield him.
The lasers stopped and Joz was nowhere to be found. His Armour wing had done its job but had made him sink quite deeply through the water. His removed his armour wing and jetted back into action.
"I told you to avoid using your wing upgrades", said Miles.
"Never mind that. Fire something at that thing", said Joz.
Miles fired his bullets this time and 18c avoided the attack only to find Joz slicing it in half. With Both Robot's down the two Shadows High-fived each other before continuing to Deep Pressure's main entrance.
Meanwhile back in the prison cell.
"Ha Ha! What now Gerald?" asked Shadow smiling
"They still have to get into Deep Pressure", said Gerald.
"Like that's going to be difficult", said Shadow.
"Well Joz can't slice the doors open. The Pressure would kill us all. That door has a complicated system for allowing entry", said Gerald.
"Meh! Miles'll get around that", said Shadow.
As they watched on the screen, Miles stopped Joz from slicing the doors and got him to slice of a keypad panel instead. Miles played around with the wires and the doors opened. Gerald smashed the control panel in frustration. He then paused to think before pressing a button.
"Sapphire take care of the intruders and don't mess up this time", said Gerald.
"I will not fail you again", replied Sapphire, her voice muffled by the speakers.
"She won't stop them. You know that", said Shadow.
"No, but she'll slow them down. By the time they beat her, free you and reach me I'll have started drilling. Take too long Shadows and it'll be impossible to beat me", said Gerald, "So long Shadow. Don't keep me waiting"
Gerald waved goodbye and left the prison area.
Meanwhile Joz and Miles had entered the docking area. When the doors opened the entrance filled with water which forced the two shadows inside. The doors then shut behind them and the water began to drain. When all the water had gone the two Shadows removed their breathing apparatus and went through the doors that had just opened.
The main entrance corridor was well lit with a glass roof and sides allowing you to see back out into the ocean. Joz and Miles began to shiver as the cold water of the ocean kept their furs wet. They shook to dry themselves but they still felt cold. Joz then knelt to the ground and removed his Wing upgrade pack. Miles confused watched as Joz placed it firmly on the ground upside down.
"Make it so the jet wing isn't as intense", said Joz.
Miles made a few quick adjustments and stepped back. Joz activated the jet wing and moved close enough to it. He sighed with relief as the heat from the jet wing warmed his body.
"Nice one Joz", said Miles.
"Well you can't have all the great ideas", said Joz
"Ah Joz, Miles. Glad you could make it. Welcome to Deep Pressure", said Gerald over a tannoy, "Don't keep me waiting now"
"Dammit! This'll have to wait. Come on we have to free Shadow", said Miles.
Joz and Miles sprinted down the corridor in search for the third Shadow.
