Hi everyone... I have some bad news.

I'M DISCONTINUING THIS STORY.Some of you probably don't care, and I get that.

Other's maybe like, "WHY!?"

Here's why: this story is too long and too complicated for anyone to enjoy for much longer.

I am truly sorry. To try and not leave you on a cliff hanger I have included a GIANT summary of what was supposed to happen. WARNING: READ AT YOU OWN RISK OF SANITY AND PATIENCE.

To those of you who aren't going to read it or if you are: Thanks for reading and following me. If you want to continue reading my writing, I've been posting a Sonic and Tails brother story called, "Miles From Home." Hope to see y'all there! Thanks' for all the reviews and comments! Love you all!

Alright so I left off with Arianna get's possessed a second time...oh boy... This is going to be really, really, long.

Okay, so she goes missing for about two months and during that time Manic almost has a mental break down (because he has had a similar experience in his past when he was brain-washed and it ended up with him almost killing someone...so he feels very very guilty about Ari's current state) and Nicole is basically an emotional wreak because she can't lose her sister again. Shadow is sort of quiet about the whole thing, but helps Nikki in any way he can.

So after these months, Missy finally shows up and destroys a GUN facility, almost killing Dr. Anderson and Cosmo in the process. On the inside, Ari is now starting to fight Missy stronger than she did last time. So basically Missy is starting to lose her grip on the girl.

One month later, Ari has almost regained complete control. In a desperate gamble, Missy try's to posses Nikki again, and actually succeeds because of Nicole/Ethan's past relationship. Missy basically convinces Nikki that if Shadow ever found out he would never forgive her, etc. After taking control of Nikki, Missy completely takes out second gen because of all these personal talks Nikki had with them (like the fact that Jr and Miley are dating, Topaz knows she won't be the guardian, Arnold is missing Angel Island, etc. Not all of those were posted yet.) and when Ethan try's to stop her, she turns into Charity and he can't fight her. Ari is to weak to fight.

Basically, the person who stops her is Manic, who finds out that he has chaos ability's that are even stronger than Nikki's. He never knew about them and stops Missy destroying her permanently and freeing Nicole.

Then we have this cute little scene where Ethan and Nikki basically make-up and start dating again, with Shadow's approval.

And then there is another scene where Manic and Ari talk to each other and it's hinted that they like each other... Cute little couple!

That's the end of Returning Shadows...

Then we have Gray Shadows, which actually focuses on Manic more than anything.

So what happens is it's been about a year since Missy was destroyed and Manic is trying to get his powers under control. He's training with Nikki, Shadow, and Arianna when suddenly all four of them are transported to a Black Arms ship.

Now Nikki knows about them because of files, and Shadow knows about them because...well you know. Arianna and Manic have no idea who these people are. The aliens on board call them all by different names, all of them meaning something.

Shadow- The Lost (because he went down a different path then they had planned originally.)

Manic- Prince (you'll see)

Ari- The Chosen (you'll see)

Nikki- The Unturnable (there's no way they are going to change her mind about them. They already know that.)

Anyway, the four of them are basically taken to a giant throne room where the Queen of all the Black Arms greets them calling herself, Dark Destructa. She reaches out to Shadow, who she considers a nephew of hers, and congratulates him on his 'family' then tries to invite him back to his 'real' family. He doesn't share the same feelings and ends up being restrained along with Nicole, who shares his feelings.

Destructa also greets Nikki and just tells her how impressed she is with her ability's over the Chaos Force. She doesn't try to turn her to the Black Arms side.

Ari is treated as a very special person, and basically no one is allowed to harm her. The Queen just sort of ignores her for the most part.

Manic...well let's just say he and Shadow are more closely related then before. The Queen refers to him as her son and 'Prince.' Turns out that his Mother was actually taken prisoner by the Black Arms and her DNA and the Queen's DNA were basically melded into the consciousness of the Void, which is sort of like the space between dimensions and stuff. So Manic, is literally the Void thrown into a hedgehog body and is technically the Prince over the Black Arms. He's a Clone of his mother mixed with black arms DNA...it's complicated. He has no memory's as the Void, and his Mother doesn't remember being held captive or being a science experiment. It's actually kind of funny... Finally, Nicole finally finds a nickname that drives Manic crazy (Void Boy).

So all of this is explained and then...well Destructa basically tells Manic that it's time for him to 'come home and stop playing around.' And since it will take time to adjust, she is allowing one of his friends in the room to remain with him. (I think you can see why she only chose those three... Black Arms Blood, partial control over them... It's kind of annoying.)

Shadow tells him to choose the person who will keep him straight the longest, so Arianna ends up staying while the other two are sent home with a message: The Black Arms are returning to Earth.

So while Shadow and Nicole try to get ready for an invasion Manic and Arianna have to remember where their loyalties lie and try not to get brain washed...lovely time, I know.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Scourge made a short visit to the dimension and may have accidentally reported Nicole back to Prime with him. She's stuck there for about a year to her, but about six months to the rest of her friends.

When the Black Arms invade, Manic is up in the giant ship with Ari and he sort of...lost it. He actually almost kills Arianna, but wakes up right after he did the damage. In order to escape the ship, he kills Black Destructa and takes Ari to Shadow and Dr. Anderson who save her life.

As the next heir to the Black Arms, Manic basically banishes the rest of the race to the Void and says, "I'm still King, but I'm staying here." After Ari recovers, the two of them officially start dating.

Nicole shows up three days later really mad that she missed the action with the aliens. (she really hates the Black Arms...)

That's the end of Gray Shadows...

Man this is getting exhausting... *takes deep breath*

The final big story (there are a lot of small events in between all of these big stories) is called Dying Shadows.

I didn't do a really good job at hinting at this, but Nicole wants to be a protector of the planet because of this strange dream she had when she was eight. She vaguely remembers parts of it, but most of it is a blur. She had this dream after one of her first practice sessions with Shadow and when her energy went a little out of control.

Flash forward about a year after the Black Arms invasion. Ethan and Nicole are married (although on legal documents it says Ethan and Charity) and Manic and Arianna are engaged. Manic is forced to leave the dimension and seal off all doors to all dimensions because all of space and time is ripping apart. So he sort of leaves Ari alone and heartbroken. It's pretty depressing.

Two weeks later, a large energy spike is detected at 413 E Marred Rd, which is an old science lab. Second Gen moves into investigate. When they arrive on the scene, Nicole breaks off from the group and hears something in the vents. That's when her dream starts coming back, in small bits and pieces.

The 'something' in the vents, is herself as an 8 year old. You may see what's going on here.

To prevent the girl from panicking, Nicole calls herself by her middle name, Maria and basically says to past Nikki that you're with friends. (Past Nikki is going to be referred to as Nikki, and future Nicole will be referred to as Nicole or Maria) They take Nikki back to GUN headquarters and turn her over to Dr. Anderson until they can figure out what to do with her.

The next thing that happened, I don't actually have the details in ink. All I really have is that about three weeks later, a giant robot army comes out of no where, and 1st and 2nd Generation can't stop it. The bot's will not stop until every living thing is destroyed, then they will self destruct. The bot's are probably alien now that I think about it, and they produce to fast to destroy. For everyone that is cut down, twenty more are made.

This whole time, Nicole's 'dream' is coming back to her and she is encouraging Nikki to fight the good fight. On 4/13, she actually remembers the end of the dream and well...it isn't a happy one.

Nicole goes off on her own and basically teleports every living thing on the planet 24 hours into the future. Now the energy needed to do that is so crazy large that she has to take off her inhibitor rings and it pretty much disintegrates her.

When her friends figure out what she did, they try to find anything to see if she's alive, but all they find was her inhibitor rings. Shadow then wipes Nikki's memory temporarily and sends her back to the exact point when she originally teleported. (why didn't he do that sooner? I have no idea. Once again, this is just the summary not everything was refined.)

Arianna basically sinks into a pit of depression.

Ethan envelopes himself in the mercenary world, not really caring about life any more.

Manic somehow finds a way to return and reunite with his sweet Ari, but when he finds out about Nicole he shuts himself in his room for days.

Shadow... well Shadow sort of does something productive.

There was this lead scientist on Chaotic Energy and was one of Nicole's 'bodyguards'. His name was Shawn. Shawn showed up when Nicole was about nine and saved her life maybe hundreds of times, most of them she never knew about. Three days before Nicole died, he disappeared after telling Shadow, "You were always there." (yep, it's Shadow in a human form...didn't know he could do that? Disguise collar Anderson invented.)

One year after Nicole's death, Manic disappears into the void and comes out a few hours later. He drags Ari and Ethan to a nearby park.

"Arianna and Ethan I want you to meet someone."

"Hey guys..."

THE END

(Let me explain something right now: THAT'S NOT NIKKI. Well, that's not true either. That is Nicole, but it's not THE Nicole... Okay, let's start over. Manic is the Void and has power over dimensions. He literally wrote his 'Fathers' dimension which technically means he made his father figure out of matter...that's just weird. Anyway, so Manic can basically make people. So he went to the exact moment when Nicole died and basically grabbed her life force and pushed it into a body that he made out of matter. The body he made, is literally Charity. Nicole doesn't have her extreme Chaos power's any more though, in fact she is now mortal, meaning she ages normally now instead of very, very, very, slowly. And she can't fly any more or change her appearance at will. She's just Charity now. Chaos spears and extreme fighting ability's and that's it. She joins Team Sonic 2nd Generation...becomes one of the top agents of GUN.)

(Oh! One more thing! The other characters! Okay, Jr marries Miley, Arnold marries Annie, and Cosmo marries a fox name Genesis (Gen for short). Topaz remains single. Jr and Miley stay on as agents of GUN both of them are really involved in the science field, Arnold and Annie spend their days on the floating island with Arnold back as the Guardian, Cosmo is the head doctor at GUN with Gen as her assistant doctor, and Topaz is one of the top agents of GUN.)

OKAY NOW THE END.
