The Shadows' Claws is a story set in the Lylat System, of the tale of a mercenary pilot ace named Blaze Toranis, and those he meets along the way, as he gets caught up in a plot that delves into the past, and could threaten all of Lylat!

Call in Star Fox? Yeah right. Blaze, Bearhart, Mychelle, and all the rest of the vengeance-bound mercenaries plan on showing Lylat that Fox McCloud isn't the only pilot around who can solve a crisis.

(resubmitted as I needed to make an edit, but the submission was refusing to update to the new file)

Got this out a lot sooner than I was expecting.

I'll be re-writing new versions of all the chapters of The Shadows' Claws I currently have up. Old versions will go into scraps, though I'm not going to go through the hassle of making the rewrites readable directly off the site.

Many thanks to  Mohiten by the way, for the chapters he wrote for this! They take place after the chapters I've written, and they are indeed part of the proper story. At this point, it's become more of a cooperative effort, as we tend to bounce ideas off each other, and offer suggestions or criticism.



But yes, here is the Prologue of the story.

The other parts of the story are below. Note that with this chapter now being labelled a Prologue, the chapter numbers on the submission pages of the following parts may now be inaccurate - if the chapter numbers here, and on the linked submission don't match, trust the one here.
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3

The following chapters were written by  Mohiten
Chapter 3.5
Chapter 4
Chapter 5

If you're interested, keep an eye on him too, as he is also considering re-writing his own chapters of the story. And, with luck, we may even continue it!
