The 3 Shadows, Episode 8 - Deep Pressure
Chapter 8 - PANIC! IT'S COMING!
Their plan worked. Neptune exploded and the bubble shield protected them from the blast. They saw Gerald try to escape in a small escape pod and quickly raced towards him. It was no match for their speed and soon The 3 Shadows had captured Gerald.
"Alright! We stop Deep Pressure and Neptune and capture Gerald all in one day", said Miles.
"But did you stop the missile launch?" asked Gerald.
"Huh? Neptune exploded, it didn't have time to launch a missile", said Shadow.
"Really? Because I'm sure it fired in time. It should be heading towards Prison Island as we speak", said Gerald.
"Then it's off to Prison Island then?" asked Miles.
"But what about Gerald? If we attempt to save GUN we'll have to let him go," asked Joz.
"We have no choice. Come on guys grab hold", said Shadow.
The 3 Shadows warped to Prison Island right in the heart of GUN Headquarters.
"I'll go tell the General to evacuate the Island", said Miles.
"I'll look for Sapphire", said Joz.
"Ok I'll figure out how to stop the missile shall I?" asked Shadow shrugging his shoulders.
"We have to do something", said Joz.
"What about another Chaos Shield? One big enough for the entire Island?" asked Miles.
"I could try but I don't think 2 emeralds will give me enough power", said Shadow.
Suddenly the GUN general appeared with two soldiers.
"Shadow, Miles, Joz? What brings you here?" asked the General
"A Nuclear Missile is heading straight for this island. You have to prepare a mass evacuation", said Miles.
"Shadow's going to try and shield the island from the blast but we fear he doesn't have enough Chaos Energy", said Joz.
The general turned to one of the soldiers.
"You, alert the colonel. Tell him to start emergency evacuation procedures. And you, run down to the security hall and get the Chaos Emerald we have", said the GUN general.
"Another emerald? Actually 3 may just be enough", said Shadow
"Well it's the only chance we've got", said Joz, "How long do you think we've got"
"Search the skies of a nuclear missile heading straight for us…….. Well keep looking…….Ok they have it on their radar now. They estimate we have just under an hour until it hits", said the General mostly through a radio, "That's not enough time for a full scale evacuation"
"Then order everyone to regroup inside the main building", said Shadow, "The smaller the shield the more likely our plan will work"
"Right….All units report immediately…." Said the General over the radio walking away.
"I'm going to look for Sapphire. She can't have gotten far from the Island", said Joz.
"Well hurry", said Shadow.
Joz jetted off into the skies above the Jungle. He frantically searched the Island with his infra red mode and investigated anything that could be Sapphire. Meanwhile Miles suddenly thought of something.
"What if we brought everyone here? You could warp everyone away from the Island", said Miles.
"Yes that would work, General?" said Shadow.
"Everyone is going to regroup in the main mess hall. When everybody is there I'll lead everyone to this point", said the General.
"I'll come too. Good luck Shadow", said Miles.
Miles and the General headed straight for the Main Mess hall inside GUN Headquarters.
"Right then, here goes", said Shadow planning his Chaos Shield.
Meanwhile Joz had found Sapphire and landed in front of her.
"YOU! What the hell are you doing here?" asked Sapphire, "How did you find me?"
"My infra red vision mode on my goggles. Come on I haven't got time to explain, just grab my hand", said Joz.
"No way! I have my strength back and I still have my objectives", said Sapphire.
"ARGH! We don't have time for this. There's a bloody nuclear missile heading straight for the Island. Would you like to go on living?" asked Joz.
"I'm not afraid of Death", said Sapphire, "At least if I go you will too"
"Fine then, stay. Let your own stubbornness kill you", said Joz.
"What makes you think I'll just let you leave", said Sapphire.
Joz sighed and charged at his with a jet wing dash. His sword however stayed in his holster and Joz grabbed hold of Sapphire and flew towards where he left Shadow. Sapphire struggled but Joz managed to hold onto her enough to bring her to Shadow. Miles returned to the area too.
"Shadow the General thinks that most of the people are in the mess hall now. When they're ready they'll come join us", said Miles.
"And Sapphire's safe, though a little unwilling to co-operate. You know we are saving your life here", said Joz to Sapphire.
"Bite me!" said Sapphire.
"Enough. I have to concentrate….Ok Missile I'm ready", said Shadow.
