Shadow Chaser's fourth adventure finds him in the midst of an international conflict that could lead to war on multiple fronts for Equestria. Will Shadow be able to stop the Germaneish ponies plans? What other nations are involved in the plot and why would they want to destroy Equestria?
It's been nearly ten years since Shadow joined the Code Star program and he'll have to pull out all the stops and call upon a lengthy careers worth of work to put an end to the war before the Equestrian military is overrun and Equestria is destroyed.
Here's a reference map for the story.

Two fronts huh? That'll divide their defenses.
Silver out!
Classic antagonist mistake, not making sure your opponent is dead.
You have my interest.
Oh snap. Dis gun be good.

Oh wait, now he doesn't have a scroll anymore. That's a bit sad.
On the other hand, why wouldn't he just say Canterlot really quickly before Gilda could stop him? Seems do-able...

I neglected to ask about it last chapter - have you by any chance played Mass Effect? I seem to recall a somewhat different freezing town called Noveria...
1731374 Haha! Yea, I'm a pretty big Mass Effect fan but I had not realized that. I'll post a link to the unofficial map that I'm using when I get home this week. I really had not even thought of that.
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

MOAR!
sorry
1921236 I really am going to try to crank the next couple chapters out faster. The holidays included a move for me so I've been writing intermittently. But I should be on track to keep this rolling. (Hopefully)
Oh! Also, I have a fun surprise for you guys at the end! (As this will probably be the last I write of Shadow.)
I'm sorry to hear that it's the last we'll hear from Shadow, but I also can't wait to see what "fun surprise" you have in store. Keep the chapters coming!
First comment! BTW: You had me going there for a second when Rainbow, Sky, Moon, and AJ were at the tombstone. I thought Shadow had died for a second! The thought made a lump rise in my throat and I would have cried if it had ended that way. I'll send you a PM with the basic idea of the story I'm going to write with Shadow before I actually start fleshing out my ideas with my writing. Anyway, great way to end the Shadow Chaser series. I'm sure that if you wanted to, you could actually write a fifth. You did leave it open for another story, but it's just an idea.

2005376 The end was actually killing me to write. Because keeping Shadow's survival a question wasn't exactly in the plan but it played out well. And I have to admit, Dash losing it over what happened to Shadow had me in tears as I wrote it. There's so much of this that a put myself into, and, while I'm not the biggest fan of Rainbow Dash, their relationship had become another level of emotion for me. You're right that I could write another but I think I'll leave them be for a while. Maybe use Shadow in cursory other ways. We shall see.
And I'm excited to see how your story will go. Again, you don't have to use my canon for Shadow, you can make up your own if you wish.

Nah, I'll use your canon. I'll admit, during my time away from the army I've grown lazy in all things. In other words, I'll use your canon because I'm too lazy to make up my own.
I think you should check out my story: Skyfire. It's been a big hit recently and everyone is commenting with demands for more, so I think you'd like it too. Of course, I don't know your personality very well, but it's just an assumption. If you read it, please let me know what you think.
