''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9298756/1/Shadowchasers-Colors-of-Madness Shadowchasers: Colors of Madness]]'' is a ''FanFic/ShadowchasersSeries'' fanfic by Scarlet Weather.

Unlike many other Shadowchaser stories, instead of a group dealing with a threat to their city, Jalal sends a team of specialists (dubbed 'The Color Guard') to the island resort/theme-park paradise known as Pleasureland. This wondrous place has shown a recent spike in arrivals of Shadowkind from their home dimension and given the uncertainty just surrounding why and how the force responsible is transporting Shadowkind like this, an investigation is paramount to gaining any clues.

Despite a rocky initial briefing, the team groups together and heads off to Pleasureland to do their investigation, thinking it to be only a [[TemptingFate simple mission]]. WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong?

Apparently one of them pissed off [[FinaglesLaw Larry Niven]], because the moment they arrive, the island is flooded with unholy light. Only a quick-thinking use of a barrier saves them, but leaves them trapped for nearly a full day. When it finally drops, the once fanciful island has become a carnival of terror and nightmares. The Color Guard is trapped on island, unable to communicate with the outside world and stuck with their very limited resources while whatever remained of the island's populace has become zombies-including the crew of the boat they came in on. And then it went FromBadToWorse.

The light that appeared was the work of the Priests of Light, dedicated to the Glorious One and the Light. Armed with unholy powers and fanaticism, the Priests are going to turn the island into a mass sacrifice to their deity...and the Color Guard will make a tempting appetizer.

And oh, there's some kind of HumanoidAbomination that even the Priests are afraid of running around as well...

!!Shadowchasers: Colors of Madness contains examples of:
-----
* BodyHorror: The Priest's spell turned most of the island's populace into flesh-eating zombies, who turned on one another almost immediately. And despite tearing hunks out of each other, nothing short of breaking their necks or decapitation will stop them from coming.
* ClosedCircle: A powerful barrier generated by the Priests keeps the Guard from leaving and severs all communications with the outside world.
* CreepyChild: The brief appearance of Maria in the third chapter seems to have this as her 'base form.' Given what is known about her parents and herself twenty years down the road, definitely seemed to have been caused by BreakTheCutie.
* ForegoneConclusion: Maria Temorline and Thaddeus Kleig are already confirmed to survive the events of this fic, as they both make an appearance in ''[[FanFic/ShadowchasersBackwater Shadowchasers: Twice-Told Tales]]'', which takes place several years after this fic. Not too mention the former also appears in ''Shadowchasers: Backwater''.
* GeniusBonus: The author include shout-outs in each chapter and while some are obvious, others require Google to guess at what they are.
* LightIsNotGood: The cultists have a definite Light theme to them, and [[spoiler:the "Glorious One" they worship is actually the Light of Ruin, although it is not clear just how many of them know that.]]
* NightOfTheLivingMooks: The zombies on the island don't target the Priests and while we haven't seen one order the undead around yet, its pretty obvious the Color Guard is the only thing on the menu for the zombies.
* OminousFog: The Priest's spell has covered the island in this.
* PsychologicalHorror: What the story is definitely aiming for.
* ReligionOfEvil: The Priests and their Glorious One definitely qualify.
* ReligionIsMagic: The Priests possess unearthly powers, ranging from regenerating instantly fatal wounds to glowing fists that vaporize a large chunk of whatever they strike. All granted by their faith.
* SurvivalHorror: Given how they're trapped on an island where everything is out to kill them and no one knows what 'everything' encompasses, definitely falls into this.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The Color Guard's members have severely clashing personalities, most particularly with Harley and Gideon.
