I am working now so I've decided only to update on Fridays and Saturdays.

Don't forget to check my Blog and Deviant ART account. My favourite picture so far is my pic of Nite the Wolf. There are some 3 Shadow wallpapers up there as well.

All copyright stuff is in Chapter 1

The 3 Shadows, Episode 7 - Eclipsed

Chapter 8 - It's not over yet

Super Shadow and the other two Shadows reappeared in the middle of Capitol City. Shadow was still in his super form but was beginning to sweat badly. Joz suddenly fell to the floor and Miles quickly kept him up.

"That happened so fast. Are you sure that's it?" asked Miles.

"I hope so", said Super Shadow.

"Hey you're sweating pretty badly now", said Miles.

Super Shadow closed his eyes and tried to cool down, though he was soon interrupted by a Television Broadcast from Gerald.

Citizens of Earth. I Professor Gerald Robotnik have developed a weapon capable of destroying the planet. There is no room for negotiations. You will all die soon after this broadcast. After what the world elected officials did to me I have deemed mankind unworthy of existence. Enjoy the last few moments of your lives.

Oh and if The 3 Shadows are watching this broadcast you should know that I don't need the Emeralds to fire the cannon. I had charged a massive battery with Chaos Energy in case you succeeded in taking the Emeralds.

Goodbye Earth.

Super Shadow reopened his eyes and a burning flame blazed inside of him. He had promised Maria to make people happy, to protect them. He had lived up to that promise for a year now and wasn't about to give up.

Yet he felt much weaker now. The Chaos Energy that engulfed his body was starting to erode his skin. He was sweating a lot and this all told him that if he didn't revert back to his normal black self soon something bad may happen, he may even die.

"Shadow you did your best but I don't see anyway out of this", said Miles.

"I have to try anyway. This Super form could block the cannon", said Super Shadow.

"ARE YOU CRAZY? That thing can destroy the planet in a single blast and you're going to meet it head on", said Miles, "Not to mention this Super form is starting to wear you out"

"Go for it Shadow", said Joz.

"Huh? Have you lost your mind too? He's likely to get killed", said Miles.

"And if he doesn't do anything he will get killed, as well as the rest of us", said Joz.

"Guys if I don't make it back I want you to keep on fighting without me", said Super Shadow.

"Don't talk like that. You're not going to die. Go now, before it's too late", said Joz.

A light blue light suddenly appeared amongst the blue sky above them. It was faint but it was clear that Gerald had fired his cannon already. Super Shadow flew to meet the cannon's fire. Super Shadow let the cannon's fire hit him. The force knocked Shadow back but the Golden Hedgehog used all his strength to make sure he didn't fall back.

The cannon's fire ended and Super Shadow didn't even have a scratch on him. He still felt weak but relieved that he had successfully stopped the cannon's fire reaching Earth. By now he was breathing heavily and dripping with sweat.

Super Shadow continued on into Space, his target this time was the cannon itself. Another cannon shot was fired. Super Shadow raced to block that shot, which he did successfully. More shots were fired and Super Shadow blocked each one, each time moving closer to the cannon.

Gerald was furious. His all powerful weapon was useless against Super Shadow. Frantically he kept changing the cannon's target and fired as often as he could. The cannon's core started to get very hot as the Chaos Battery overheated.

"ARGH! This isn't happening. WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE MY REVENGE?" Screamed Gerald.

Suddenly Super Shadow appeared through the computer console. With explosions either side of him, he stood before Gerald with his arms folded.

"Because…Maria…made…me…promise", said Super Shadow.

Super Shadow then collapsed onto the floor. The Chaos Emeralds separated from his body and disappeared. Shadow was now in his normal form completely exhausted. Gerald pulled out a handgun and aimed it at Shadow's head.

You're mine now Shadow the Hedgehog.
