Once again I apologise for not updating this earlier (said this in my Blog). Ten days is a long time to wait for a series designed to be updated every night. I hope you're being patient with me.
Check out my DA tomorrow for a special Halloween message. Link, like all my non fanfiction work can be found in my bio. Please give it a look.
I have two more ideas, would you prefer the end of the G-series or something completely different? It's the one thing I seem to be lacking both here and on my DA, feedback.
All copyright stuff is in Chapter 1

The 3 Shadows, Episode 8 - Deep Pressure
Chapter 9 - Not today of all days
The missile was getting closer; you could just make it out on the horizon. Besides Sapphire's fussiness everything was running smoothly. Shadow had three Chaos Emeralds and was just waiting for the right moment to bring up his shield.
"What's your problem anyway? Can't you just let us save you", said Joz.
"You're my problem. My life is in your hands, it's embarrassing", said Sapphire.
"Look just be quiet ok", said Joz.
Sapphire rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
"I suppose I don't have a choice, very well", said Sapphire.
The missile was in full view now. Shadow raised his shield. A dome of purple energy covered the courtyard and main base area of the Island. It all went silent until the missile hit. Shadow fell to his knee from the force but quickly regained his footing. At first the shield held up no problem but as the blast continued Shadow began to feel tired.
Shadow dropped to his knee again and started to scream. He could barely stand but somehow fought the desire to give up. Joz and Miles supported Shadow, keeping him on his feet.
"You can do this Shadow", said Joz
"Just a little longer", said Miles
Sapphire watched as The 3 Shadows were working together. It wasn't the effort of one person anymore. They were a team and she felt a need to be with her team. She admired their teamwork, it was superb.
"Bravo Shadows", she said softly
The blast was almost over but Shadow didn't know how long he would last. The one thing that drove him since his first departure from ARK, that day and Maria's wish, played back in his head.
"Not today. Of all days I will not fail today!" exclaimed Shadow finding that last bit of strength he needed.
The GUN Army appeared from the base. Shadow didn't even notice but if he had he would've been relieved. It was time to save everybody.
"Right everyone grab someone's arm. And hurry up maggots", screamed The GUN General
The troops fell in line. A massive chain of soldiers connected together by their arms. The General finished the chain and grabbed Miles who was still supporting Shadow. Miles turned and saw they were ready. Joz held out his hand for Sapphire who paused for a moment before grabbing it.
"We're ready Shadow", said Miles
"Same here. Let's get the hell out of here", said Joz.
Shadow smiled and focused on the soft grass of Green Hill.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow Screamed as he warped everybody to Green Hill.
The Chaos Shield fell and the Missile blast finished. GUN HQ was covered in fallout but the important thing was GUN's soldiers were safe. Shadow collapsed to the floor smiling. He turned over onto his back and laughed.
"That's…why…they…call…me…the…Ultimate Lifeform", said Shadow panting heavily.
"Hey, that's my saying", said Joz sticking his thumb up.
Shadow managed to stick his thumb up too.
"Are you OK Shadow?" asked Miles
"I'm…fine…just…let…me….rest…for…a…moment", replied Shadow.
Sapphire walked over to Shadow
"Er, thanks. But don't think I'll go easy on you next time", said Sapphire leaping into flight.
Sapphire flew away. It was the General's turn to thank Shadow.
"On Behalf of the Entire GUN Army I would like to thank you, all three of you, for saving all of our lives. Our base may be covered in fallout but as long as…" said The General
"Save it. I only did what she wanted to. No more please, not today of all days General", said Shadow interrupting.
The General took a moment to think and turned back to his troops. Seconds later he turned back to Shadow.
"Look if it helps, I'm really sorry for what happened on ARK", said The General
"I don't want to hear it. Come on guys, let's go home", said Shadow.
Shadow slowly got on his feet, helped by the other two Shadows. Shadow threw the Emerald GUN had given him back.
"Here, it's yours isn't it", said Shadow
The GUN General picked it up and watched as The 3 Shadows disappeared.
