story is going good so far keep up the good work.

Author's Response: Well, okay... short and sweet. Thanks, glad to see that more then two people are reading this thing.

Sweet, I'm a Japanese rouge. XD It was an honor to be a bullet sponge. ^^ That was so cool! The way you described the bullet going through my chest was great!
Now, all fun and super awesomeness aside, yer one error: 'strait' is meant to be 'straight' in one of your sentences. That's it, though. *shrugs* All in all, it was fantastic. Man, now I'm hyper because I was shot.... XD Woo! Awesome chapter.

Author's Response: Well thank you, it was fun to write. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Took me awhile to get it just right, but apparently it turned out mighty fine. One error, there will always be one error, there has to be something to complain about. I'm glad you're hyper for being shot, thank you for enjoying the chapter. I'll get to work on six soon, hopefully you'll enjoy that one as well.

First off, Stongbad rocks.

Secondly, jeebus crispies! Shadow is so unbelievably godlike in this. I'm guessing it has something to do with his two week disappearance...

This chapter was fast paced and I think it fit it well since Shadow is a to-the-point character. Only thing I would be worried about is overdoing all of his newfound powers. It still fits right now but if he turns out to be Swiss-Army-Shadow, it could get a bit old.

As for a game reference, why Mr. T? Details on the Bioware Sonic RPG, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, came out. Screenshots and everything.

Author's Response: He does, doesn't he? Yes, Shadow is quiet godlike, but in all honesty I would imagine Shadow would have most of these powers to begin with. I mean, he's a biologically engineered weapon that's infused with the sheer essence of a power that can do everything from obliterating massive structures to transforming their hosts into super-powerful beings. You can't expect me to believe all he got out of that was a small batch of attacks, I'd imagine he'd have a lot more abilities then that. But the sheer strength of his powers will be explained, don't you worry. And I know when stop... I also know when to move forward, so you'll be happy with what I put forth. Thank for the RPG update, I've been following that game sense it's announcement. It's the only thing that gives me hope for the Sonic series, if the RPG fails, then Sonic's as good as dead. And as for Mr. T, I've been playing FFVII, and Barret is basically Mr. T in game form. So... it was more of an allusion... but whatever. Stick with it, I think you'll like the next chapter. In fact, I'm writing it with you in mind. (So be ready...)

But I like violence. :P Nice chapter as always. I've wondered why Metal wasn't mass produced either, but if ya think about it, the robots would murder Sonic and discontinue the video game series. Pity, really. Any who, when you said 'deafly' silence, I was a little confused. Did you really mean 'deafly' or did you mean 'deathly'? Love the line about not shooting anything today, though. That's a good one. XD

Author's Response: Thank you, thank you. I suppose that's why as well, but that ain't gonna stop me! And I did mean 'deafly', deafly basicly means really quiet, like you're deaf. It's a word, and if it's not, It is now. Thanks for the review, keep on keepin' on. And yes, I like that line as well. (It's true)

Merry Chrismahanaquanzica to you too. Any who, I like your style, though you tend to use a semicolon more than most. When you said "Chances of success; zero", I think that a colon would run more smoothly right there. Save for that and one or two minor spelling errors, I greatly enjoyed this. Nice work, as usual. ^^

Author's Response: I haven't quite mastered the semicolon yet, but thanks for pointing out my flaws. Glad you enjoyed it, I hope you keep on reading. And thank you for liking my style. I like my style as well. Iz stylish.
