So here it is. After a year, maybe even two, of imagining it in my head I finally finish The 3 Shadows feature. Can you believe it was October when I started this! This was the hardest to write because my thoughts ended with the fight with Molten Nega. Concluding the story from there was difficult, as I couldn't figure out the actual ending point.

I have been writing this with big gaps in between and trying to do this from memory so no doubt I've probably contradicted myself somewhere. I'm sure I'll find something on my own proofread, whenever that happens. Pretty low down on my to do list.

My only real plans for fics right now revolve around the last two episodes of The 3 Shadows (so far, not excluding the possibility of more), and of course Future of Flames, which I promise you I will get back to. After that though I have nothing.

Probably will be the end of my writing for a while. As much as I love Fanfic writing I just don't seem to have the time anymore. It's starting to feel like a chore and I never want that to happen.

Oh and don't forget Sonic fans. Sonic's birthday this Saturday. I have no plans for it but I just thought I'd mention it.

EPILOGUE

"It's about time you showed up", said a familiar female voice.

Pyro awoke in the sol emerald shrine surrounded by the seven Sol Emeralds. He felt a little weak. On his end he had to use a lot of energy to separate the two worlds with the sol emeralds.

"So is it over? That metal fortress in the sky is gone now, I take it you found a way to stop Queen Nega", said the voice.

Pyro got up and smiled.

"Yes I did. Well I did help. All Credit should go to the three heroes from the other world though. They truly were magnificent", said Pyro

"You do not know how happy I feel knowing that our world is safe and you can return to raising our son", said the voice.

"And how happy I am that I can now be there for you both", said Pyro.

"Pyro! Excellent work but did you succeed in your second objective", said a familiar voice.

Pyro turned his head to find an ageing bald man with a large moustache. He was tall and skinny yet wore a dark leather cloak.

"Yes I gathered DNA on all six of the fighters just like you wanted me to Gerald. It wasn't easy and it got in the way a lot. I couldn't help as much as I would've liked to", said Pyro.

"Excellent. You know the war isn't over right. Our world has succumbed to two tyrannical rules. Queen Nega was deluding herself if she thought she had it all. There is still one place she would never tread", said Gerald

"You mean Soleanna. Only a madman would go up against Iblis. That place has been lost for centuries", Said Pyro, "I doubt even the Three Shadows would succeed against them".

"Indeed hence why we need a new weapon, a new kind of hero. This DNA is just the first step. If my records are correct we now have the chaos manipulation skills of the Ultimate Lifeform Shadow, the unrivalled accuracy of Miles and the Wealth sensing skills of the Master hunter Joz. We also have the Sol energy manipulation skills of Blast, the cold ruthless personality of Emma and the Agility of Jade", said Gerald

"Sounds like you're taking the best of everyone and creating a new creature", said Pyro

"Not quite. I've been researching psychic energy too. We'll need a being of immense unrivalled power to stop Iblis and finally free this world from all the tyranny. We could finally have peace", said Gerald.

"Peace would be nice. I won't get in the way of your plans and you've got all you need from me anyway", said Pyro.

"Indeed. Go back to your family Pyro and live your life in our new moderately safe environment", said Gerald.

"Just one more thing Professor. Do you think The 3 Shadows ever caught on to the truth? Do you think they know that this isn't some alternate world but their dark future?" asked Pyro.

"They didn't need to know. And sad as it may be the events that saw Iblis' release have to happen as ironically Iblis kept Queen Nega under some sort of control", said Gerald.

Pyro shook Gerald's hand and smiled.

"Good luck on your project Gerald", said Pyro.

"Same to you. All I ask now is that you keep the Sol Emeralds safe", said Gerald.

The two nodded and went their separate ways. Pyro then went over to his family and placed his arm around his wife.

"Come on. Let's go home", said Pyro.

The 3 Shadows had returned home and lay on the roof of Joz's mansion looking at the stars. They lay there talking about their victory, celebrating a job well done and wondering what had happened to Pyro and the Emeralds.

"So what do you think happened to Pyro's world now that we ended Queen Nega's reign?" asked Joz.

"Well I would've thought that at the moment they'd be rebuilding their world to what it was and then things would return to normal for them. You know like before Queen Nega took over", said Miles.

"You know something did seem a little odd in that world didn't it? Seemed quite worn out and in ruins. Queen Nega and the Emeralds didn't seem like the types to go that far in their destruction", said Shadow.

"Now that you mention it I think you're right. Maybe there's more to that world than we originally thought", said Miles.

"I'm sure whatever happens there Pyro will sort it out. Perhaps the Emeralds too. Without Queen Nega I see them turning to someone else for guidance. They didn't seem the most independent of people did they?" asked Joz.

"They were sure strong enough to handle themselves, that you can't deny", said Miles.

"Still no match for us though", said Shadow smiling.

Things went silent for a moment and Shadow began remembering Maria and Maria Nega. You could've mistaken them for twins though it wouldn't be long before you realised just how different they actually are.

Shadow looked back at the moment when he hesitated against Queen Nega. The one thing he wanted most in the world was to be with his Maria once again. Their time was tragically cut short and every second since felt like a dagger through his heart.

He reminded himself that he made the right decision. He would rather live for Maria than turn his back on her for that fake! Still a single tear rolled down his cheek as he thought about Maria again.

Joz and Miles noticed the tear but thought nothing of it. The three of them returned to looking at the night sky, admiring the beauty of the night sky and smiled.

Another adventure had reached it end and they knew soon another one would begin. For now though the night for firmly for them and they were going to enjoy it.

THE END
