For Dalzeil I'll post some replies to his suggestions here as he wanted me too.
1) Author notes: I'm aware I've been breaching the rules for sometime now. But out of the 4 fics that have had these only one had been adjusted. I wasn't sure if they were breaching the rules until I had started the 3rd and 4th (one of which is this one). I aint going back to fix fics I thought were complete.
To fanfiction admins, delete the notes if it really bothers you. It's not as if I'm posting them alone, I always post the first chapter with them. Please don't ban me again, or at least say "do it yourself or get banned/fic deleted" first.
2) Miles prower: If you had been reading the other 3 Shadows episodes you would be aware that the Miles prower in these fics IS NOT Miles "Tails" Prower from the Sonic games. Perhaps I should say the NAME is copyright Sonic team but the CHARACTER is my creation.
3) My replies in reviews: Noted, but I'm not a fan of this stuff at the top of each chapter. I'd rather address points in reviews amongst reviews as to keep the fics themselves as free of this clutter as possible.
In fact you can see why I prefer to use the reviews to comment on others reviews, see how far down my fic starts? This is something I generally try to avoid which I why I used author notes as well.
4) Chapter length: The 3 Shadows has ended up being made so that I can write a chapter in 30 mins every day. Alongside this fic is one I take more time on, "Apocolypse's revival", please read that before you think I write all my fics in this style.
Thanks for your suggestions though
All copyright stuff is in Chapter 1. Diamond the Rabbit, GASH, and the deadly gems are new 3 Shadows features that are all copyright me.
The 3 Shadows, Episode 3 - Miles' Tail
Chapter 8 - Freed Shadows
Gerald watched on as Miles fought Shadow and Diamond fought Joz. Diamond was being pushed back by some of Joz's sword strikes. She had never fought an opponent so tough before.
"I underestimated you. You are pretty strong after all", said Diamond, "But one of the deadly gems will defeat you and take the title Master hunter from you. I'd prefer it to be me"
"Don't make me laugh. You can barely hit me", said Joz striking Diamond down to the floor.
Meanwhile Shadow had been warping all over the place. Using Chaos control and other Chaos manipulation techniques he was quite frankly beating Miles to a pulp.
"Revenge time for what you did to me earlier Miles. Last time I was weak, doing my best not to hurt you. But not this time", said Shadow kicking Miles into a wall. Miles smashed into the wall and fell to the floor. Miles got up and flew into the Sky using his tails. He aimed his shooters at Joz and began shooting.
"Now Diamond, while he's concentrating on reflecting the bullets!" shouted Miles.
"You sneaky little⦠Looks like I have again underestimated you", said Shadow, "But your efforts are futile"
Joz looked up and reflected Miles barage of bullets. He was helpless against Diamond's attack from behind. She jumped on him and removed the crown. She then sliced it in two. As the two pieces fell to the floor Gerald screamed, "No! This can't be happening".
At the same time Shadow had warped up to where Miles was and smashed him back down to the ground. Miles smashed into the ground beside Joz and Diamond. Joz squatted next to the unconscious Miles and rubbed his head gently.
"Don't worry buddy. You just rest now. You freed me, now only Shadow remains", said Joz.
"How should we fight Shadow then Joz?" asked Diamond.
"I hope you're good at taking a kick cause Shadow is the master of Chaos control. He'll warp to one of us soon and kick us from out of nowhere", said Joz, "Luckily I have an advantage".
Joz used the armour wing and waited. Then just as a green light suddenly appeared Joz smashed his armour wing into it. It was as if he knew where Shadow would appear. As Shadow smashed to the ground Diamond quickly went to him and removed his crown. Shadow got up and walked over to Joz just as Miles woke up.
"How did you know where I was going to appear Joz?" asked Shadow.
"I sensed your emerald. What I didn't know was whether you were coming for her or me. Luckily for her you chose me", replied Joz.
"What just happened?" asked Miles
"Don't worry buddy. Joz managed to free me after you freed him", said Shadow.
"I'm impressed. You thought up of a plan on the spot and carried it out so easily", said Diamond, "If it wasn't for you they might've never been freed". Miles smiled
"Well you helped, a lot actually", said Miles.
"Don't be so modest. You're better than you think you are you know. As a bad guy you were ruthless and cold. No-one could stop you", said Joz.
"Not to mention when you were under Gerald's control and even when you weren't you managed to take both of us out", said Shadow, "Wait a minute, Gerald! Where did he run off too?"
The four searched the room for any sign of Gerald. Meanwhile Gerald had reached the room where Mars lay. He jumped inside and activated the sleeping behemoth.
"Curse them! My best plan ruined. But don't think just cause the Shadows are free of my control that the fight is over. My Mars will destroy them while they're weak from fighting", said Gerald leaving the huge room.
Back in the room the four were still searching when another G-series machine burst through the wall.
"It doesn't matter if you're free you know. I'll just destroy you with Mars and then nothing will stop me", said Gerald.
"Bring it on Gerald. We've taken down a G-series before and we'll do it again", said Shadow, "Come guys, there's no time for games, we're back ready to kick some metal ass".
"Yeah!" shouted Joz and Miles following Shadow as he moved forward to attack Mars.
