Shades McCoolguy IV: Grey Trap

Shades McCoolguy is Back for a New Adventure!

Honestly I'm surprised his retirement lasted a whole year. I kinda expected to bring him back sooner honestly. I was a bit indecisive, but I decided to keep the cuts on his face. Also I considered making him start sucking, like Rocky in Rocky V, but I decided against it. 

After toppling The Colonel and the Seven Secret Herbs and Spices the great Shades McCoolguy went into reclusion in the mountains. It was more or less safe there, and while he wanted to help there wasn't much for him to do since no agency wanted him. Not PETA. Not the FDA. Even the English FSA hadn't been interested in his services. He'd expected it after what he pulled taking down those punks but he'd expected, or perhaps just hoped, to get back in one day.

While ranging around in the mountains he caught wind of one of his old cases. The Church was still active in the mountain town. His involvement with the Church had always been a bit strained. Especially considering what they'd done to his brother. They were nearly as bad as the Colonel and his gang. He wasn't getting paid, but he hit the streets to get the scoop on them. But as he started to get a handle on their new operation it was pretty obvious where it was taking him. Shades leapt to action, and fell right into their trap.

He was knocked out and de-shaded(also blindfolded) by some two-bit thug they'd hired. Right when he'd gone to confront them on their new operation. When he woke up captive he wondered if he'd made lost his touch. In the past he'd never have walked into such an obvious trap.

Well, I guess he does suck a little in this one, but that's just cause it's the set up. I mean he turned evil in the original. Also, in case anyone is mistaking this for anti-religious nonsense... I'm obviously referring to Church's Chicken. (Even if I am envisioning them as a bunch of guys dressed like ministers...)

Shades McCoolguy III: Red Salvation

The conclusion of the arbitrarily decided Shades McCoolguy trilogy. I decided it should be a Trilogy when the second one wasn't lambasted. Now, initially the final part, Red Salvation, was going to simply be a red recolor of the original, but I decided that was dull. The third and final part of Shades McCoolguy is instead a red recolor, with edits to make him look more badass. I'm pretty sure I edited everything besides the beak so it probably would have been easier to make a brand new chicken but I think that would ruin the three of them as a series. Now for the final part of Shade's tale:

After taking down the Colonel Shades was lost in the world. PETA wasn't willing to take him back after what he'd done. He had crossed the line. He was more than willing to admit that. He knew there was no coming back after what he'd done. He wasn't going to do something as foolhardy as that again but he still had nothing to do. Eventually the Herbs and Spices caught up with him while he was just exhausted in his coop. He was struck hard and his face scarred with three slashes. He had known those guys were still around. He should have gone to take them out immediately but...

He had been stuck in a loop of failure. After getting beaten up and left to die Shades got up and slipped on his shades. He walked right in on their operations and took them down. They may have ruffled his feathers a bit but he certainly wasn't going to lay down without a fight. The Seven were easily taken down after having tricked him with their bribery and tricks. It was a violent fight, but with it over Shades McCoolguy had escaped his spiral of doubt. He had stopped the Colonel and his gang once and for all. They would never trick another kid like him into doubting his own. He strode into the sunset, confident that everything would work out.

THE END.

And with that I have finished Shades McCoolguy. I think it was a pretty good story when it's all put together. I, like most people, dislike PETA but they made a good group for the purposes of this.

Shades McCoolguy: Blue Redemption

Okay, now... normally I wouldn't release some recolor-edit like this but I think it looks smooth, and more importantly it's a good excuse to continue the tale of Shades McCoolguy. Now, when we last left him he was selling out his brothers to the Colonel. And now we pick up from there.

Shades is starting to see how he might have made some bad calls. His fellow chickens were doomed to an eternal torment if he just left them in that man's clutches. They would be fried before there was anything he could do about it. That's why he had to jump to action. When the colonel started his plans to fry up the stupid kids Shades had lured in he had no choice but to save them. They didn't know. They had trusted him and he let them down... Shades acted on instinct, guts, and justice. He took down the colonel and saved those kids. They didn't know what to say, but Shades just walked away like he hadn't done anything special. He was a bit ashamed of himself for ever having fallen in with the 7 secret herbs and spices... He hadn't even done anything about them... He would have to go back in and stop them before they corrupted another hero into being as foolish as him.
