Ah my first two parter. I wanted this to be a two parter but I had no idea I would come up with a completely new direction for the second episode.
It'll probably be called Deep Pressure.
I'm halfway through chapter 2 of Two Tribes. Hopefully I will have it done by tomorrow or some time within the week.
Keep checking my Blog and DA. I put up a 3 Shadows COMIC on there today, though it's nothing special.
All copyright stuff is in Chapter 1

The 3 Shadows, Episode 7 - Eclipsed
Chapter 10 - This isn't right at all
Joz and Miles sat in the cockpit of a Spaceship. It has cost him a lot of money but Joz didn't care. He had to find Shadow. The roar of the rocket engines deafened their ears that were being pinned back anyway by the force. The Rocket shot straight into Orbit and Miles steered it the rest of the way to ARK. They found a docking port to ARK and hacked into the computer to use it.
Soon they were back on ARK and they dashed straight to the control room.
"What? Nobody's here", said Miles.
"That doesn't mean they're not on ARK", said Joz, "Help me hack into this computer"
"Why bother? We both know the password", said Miles.
Miles typed the password MARIA into the console. Joz slapped his head.
"Oh of course. He's too obsessed by the whole thing for it to be anything else. Ok open the security camera program", said Joz.
Miles proceeded to do so but none of the screens showed anything besides bare bloodstained corridors.
"This confirms it, Gerald has left already", said Miles, "Though I can't think of any reason why"
"To hide. He can't stay here he'll be a sitting duck", said Joz.
"So he's gone to another base. He could be anywhere", said Miles, "Wait, maybe he keeps a record of all his bases on this computer"
Miles searched frantically through the system's files but found nothing useful.
"Well what do we do now?" asked Miles
"Return home. There's no reason to stay here", said Joz.
"What about Shadow?" asked Miles
Joz paused
"I think it's time we assumed the unthinkable", said Joz.
"No! He's alive I know it", said Miles
"But he's not here and he's not on Earth", said Joz, "Let's go home"
Miles started to cry and pushed his face into his arms resting on the computer console.
"Miles, come on. I know it hurts but Gerald's not here either, we still have a job to do", said Joz.
Joz placed his arm around Miles and Miles held onto Joz tightly, still crying. Joz rubbed his head and waited for Miles to let go.
"Ok then I'm ready", said Miles.
"Back to the Spaceship then", said Joz.

Shadow woke up inside a strange prison cell. He was sure that he collapsed in exhaustion on ARK but considering he knew ARK like the back of his hand, this place he was in was definitely not the Bernoulli shaped space station.
"Where am I?" he said softly as he got back onto his feet.
Suddenly there was a loud creaking noise which made Shadow jump in fright.
"What the hell was that!" he said.
Shadow suddenly felt his strength returning. He dashed to the bars and spin attacked them. However the bars were too strong and he's attacks only wore him out.
"Ok so I'm not getting out that way", said Shadow.
He then closed his eyes and focused on the energy around him. Unfortunately there wasn't any Chaos Energy, not even a small amount. There was no way he could use Chaos Control. He sat back down on the floor placing his folded arms on his knees.
What a way to spend the anniversary of the Incident. Discovering that special form, throwing myself in front of the Eclipse Cannon to stop it destroying Earth, collapsing in front of Gerald and waking up here. I could've sworn Gerald pulled a gun on me, so why am I still Alive. Maybe Gerald's good nature is there somewhere after all.
At least Joz and Miles are out there, probably looking for me or thinking I'm dead. I'm surprised that I'm still alive actually but then I am the Ultimate Lifeform.
Hm! There's that creaking noise. This place doesn't sound stable, in fact it sounds more like the walls are about to collapse. Just where am I?
Shadow examined his dark cell and found the roof had started to leak water in a couple of spots. It was cold, damp and he was still sore from smashing himself into those bars.
Then all of a sudden he heard the footsteps of a person coming closer. It was Gerald, and he stopped in front of the bars.
"Welcome to Deep Pressure Shadow, I hope you enjoy your stay as there's no way you're going to escape", said Gerald.
