I will give you what I had originally written on chapter 21 3-4 years ago, just to clear up that damned cliff hanger. This is uneditted & unfinished. And it never will be completed...

BUT PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE BELOW!


Team Chaos – Chapter 21

The clone was about attack the both of them when it's head suddenly blew up into hundreds of pieces. "D-dude! What the hell?" Ratchet shouted shakily as the smoke cleared.

"The hell is that you two should be thanking me for saving your asses." Jak and Ratchet turned their heads in the direction or the voice, only to see Fox whirling his blaster around his index finger.

Jak brought himself out of a stunned state and replied. "Yeah, I guess we really owe you one. But I thought you stayed back at the hideout?"

"Heh. I did, until I saw the number of clones on their way here. I brought the arwing for air support. I'll take to the skies and blast some of theme from above...but just promise me you two will pay more attention to the area around you."

The two 'snipers' nodded as Fox hopped into his ship and blasted off.

This is where I stopped writing. I will not be deleting this original version of Team Chaos, but I will not be continuing it either. It will remain up for historical purposes. lol wut! Did I just stroke my own ego? Damn ME!

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I'd like to explain WHY Team Chaos was delayed for so many years.

#1 I began feeling that the writing was sloppy in the first several chapters. Hence, is why I wanted to rewrite it. And I will, later this month (August 2010). Though there will still be quite a few delays between later chapters: by September 2010 (possibly) I will be enrolling in IT career training that will last a year, and shortly after that, I will be hunting for a job. Just a warning: I finally have a life now.

#2 I had too many characters that really didn't come up much and wouldn't come up much or even at all. So I was stuck at many points, trying to figure out HOW THE DEVIL CAN I STUFF THEM INTO THE PLOT?

So, I've made a decision to cut those characters. However, I do know a lot of the fans of this story will be upset, so, I'll give three of them a chance to survive.

Characters that get 10 or more votes will remain a part of the story and I will find a way to keep them in, though it will slow down the completion of future chapters. Only 1 character & 1 vote per person.

NOTE: Characters NOT listed below will NOT be removed from the story

Characters at risk of being removed (VOTE via PM (through my profile) - Subject should be 'Team Chaos')
Fox McCloud
-Reason: he has more use to the plot than anyone else listed below. But is still minor enough to make this list. I also don't have much to go on (personality wise) save for StarFox Adventures & Assault

Jak
-Reason: I honestly have difficulties keeping him in the storyline. This is probably because I favor Daxter over him. How ever he does prove some use to the plot, but not uses Ratchet can't take his place in.

Sora
-Reason: The most useless of the team. I can barely find a situation to place him in, and this issue will remain throughout the plot, making it more difficult to get chapters out. What's the point of having a character in the story if they're not going to be used.

Characters that WILL be removed
Big The Cat
-Reason: Do I need one?

Inuyasha
Kagome
Shippo
Miroku
Sango
Kilala
-Reason: I NEVER had a true purpose for these guys. They were going to "leave" in a few chapters any way. They were completely random additions. By far, they were what slowed the story down the most!

Changes to the plot
-1 new character will be added that I originally didn't plan on introducing into the plot until the very end . They will appear in the beginning of the rewrite

-Team names will no longer be used (team sonic, team dark, etc) "Team Chaos" will achieve their team name a little differently this time and will be used in a different way.

-areas from Sonic Heroes will no longer be mentioned. Instead they will be replaced with real world places and areas from Shadow the Hedgehog

-Shadow's reason for leaving Rouge & Omega will be more justified

-ShadAmy will still remain a part of the story, however, their relationship will evolve much more slowly over time

-much less will happen in between major plot points. For example, I was originally going to have Shadow meet Amy's parents after Sid was taken care of. But fillers such as this will slow down the progression of the story immensely . Events such as this MAY appear as 'side stories' if I have the time.

-Certain sagas (such as the current "Sid" saga") may be split into several different stories for faster completion. They will have similar titles like 'Team Chaos: Evolution" or "Team Chaos: Revenge of Sid" - This BTW has NOTHING to do with plot. Sid gets no revenge :p This decision is to separate the original version from the rewrite

That is all I will say for now, I don't want to spoil the new take on Team Chaos.
