Sorry about the lack up updates, I'm working on another idea for a fanfic now. I won't tell about it now. Right now I want to finish this story and see where it goes. Oh yeah, if anyone read Prower, I'm fixing the story so its easier to read later on today. And now…

---------------------Heart to No Heart: Into Action

"Mighty… "Espio turned his head so he was looking at his friend before motioning over towards Lien-Da. If they were going to do anything to stop this, they'll have to do it now.

"Break the chains… "

The armadillo blinked once before bringing his hands out in front of him and tugging on them. He grunted and tried it again, though the rattling got Lien-Da's attention.

She turned her head and looked directly at them, at the same time going down to get her gun. "Some animals just can't wait to die!" She aimed the gun at Espio's head, her eyes narrowing.

"Mighty!"

"Got it! " With one more pull, the shackles broke apart, which caused a distortion in the completely chained together link, which caused the shackles to fall off everyone else as well.

Espio only had a second to change before Lien-Da fired; he ducked down and tried to rush forward towards her. She stepped back out of surprise and tried to look for him, even when he was still invisible.

Locke looked up from the bottom of the Robotizer to see what was going on. He put his paws on the glass to yell out at them. "Mighty, MIGHTY! A little help here!"

Mighty rushed towards the glass chamber, quickly rolling up into a ball so he could slam into the side of the machine. The whole thing shook, the bottom of the platform about to be uprooted from the ground, but it didn't break! Locke found himself leaning against the back of the glass with his eyes on the light, which was starting to grow to fill the chamber.

Mighty's ears flattened and he balled up his fist to try and punch though the glass. As soon as he raised his hand, a shot was fired and hit the center of his paw which made him rear back.

The woman behind the Robotizer held the blaster, and quickly aimed it at the rest of the Echidnas who froze in their tracks. "Don't move!" She shouted.

Lien-Da straitened out and smoothed her free hand though her ruby hair before looking over towards her worker behind the machine. "Good… good… "

The dark Echidna looked back towards Mighty, who was on the ground by the wall holding his bleeding hand. She smirked, having the upper hand, and walked over to him. In her motion, she raised the barrel towards him again. "Hmmm, I think I'm going to enjoy this…"

-----------------------------
"Move when I say so… "

Julie-Su knew the base like the back of her paw, so to say. The three were hiding behind a large metal box while the last of the supplies for the invasion were being loaded. She moved her hand over her blaster and held it tightly like a child would hold her Teddy bear.

"I'm going after Lien-Da, Big guy… "She started.

"I have a name. Yanno, my name's Vector, you know my name's Vector…"

"I know your damn name! That doesn't matter now!" She snapped back which made Lara-Le jump in surprise.

The pink Echidna moved her hand up, the one with the barrel in it, and pointed towards the large airship in front of them. 'What does matter now is making sure that ship never makes it to Echindaopolis! "

She turned around to face them, looking at them for only a moment before she looked down at the ground and sighed. She didn't know how she was going to pull this one off. "You can fly, can't you Croc?"

Vector moved his hand behind his head, brushing against some of his red spikes. " Ah guess I can fly something small. "

"Well, that airship ani't pretty small… I'll make a distraction so you can get on the inside… "

Vector seemed a bit unsure about this, but nodded none the same.

Lara-Le stepped up to Julie-Su., looking in the least bit hopeful over this. "What do I do Julie-Su?"

"You… stay here, and don't make a sound! " She responded simply.

The older Echidna huffed, moving her hands to her hips. "You can't possibly mean that!"

"Well I do! The last thing I need right now is you dieing like-… "She stopped herself just in time so she could turn around. Her gloved paw was over her eyes, since she brushed some tears back into them. Stepping forward, and motioning for Vector to come along she whispered. " Okay, get ready Croc…"

Lara-Le stomped her foot and turned away from them, since she was obviously going to be left behind by them. What she spied right behind them along the wall was an air vent though, which made her smirk slightly. She looked over her shoulder and said innocently.

" Good Luck Julie-Su, Vector…"

"Thanks 'ma… "Vector joked, though he would be the only one to respond to her since Julie-Su suddenly ran from behind the box.

He blinked slightly before he charged forward after her, almost on the verge of shouting for her to slow down though he stopped himself.

Lara-Le quickly went to the vent and kicked it with her boot, causing it to cave in. The covering of the vent fell forward and she knelt down so she could squeeze into it. She could find Knuckles, and Locke, without their help!

-----------------

Lien-Da raised the gun level to Mighty's head, about to fire on him/ Mighty just closed his eyes tightly, since he was in too much pain to get up now.

Just as the barrel was about to five, Lien-Da's hand was directed upward by a slimy invisible force would wrapped around her wrist and caused her to fall backwards. Her gun raised to the ceiling, it fired a single, strong shot though the roof of the ceiling.

"God-damnit!"

-------------------

In the Echindaopolis Police station, Remington was about to finish his rounds and call it a night when he looked out the window with his cup of coffee. He took a sip, and then noticed the strong bluish-white light that was coming out from the forest.

"What the hell? " He put his coffee cup down and reached for his radio to call on someone. "This is Remington, I think we have some strange activity in the forests outside of the city… "

------------------------

Julie-Su's barrel was already charged, she learned by the experiences over the last few days to keep it constantly charged while she carried it. There were workers that ran up to her, but she slammed into each one and kept going.

There was one single target she can aim for overhead that would put the base in a state of Chaos, she just needed a clear shot. Towards the center of the airstrip she ran, her eyes set on a rather large construction hanging down from the ceiling, which caught her eyes from the moment they got out the tunnel.

Vector on the other hand branched out from where he was following Julie-Su to do what she asked him. The area towards the airship was clear because of her 'distraction', so he was pretty clear. Once he got onto the ship, he realized just how unprepared he was to fly this high tech ship.

He stopped in the middle of the hallway in the ship and turned around slowly before looking over his shoulder. " Now… where is the control room? "

The only thing he every flew was the Gyroplane, he flew a plane this large before

-----------------------

Locke's eyes widened as the light in the Robotizer slowly made its way up towards him. His heart was racing; he was scared and would admit it fully if there was anyone who could hear him out there. He backed up on that incline made by Mighty who smashed the Robotizer earlier. His chains could only allow him to move so far, not even all the way to the top of the machine to avoid the beam.

He looked down at the light and then up again to see the cold purple eyes of that red creature that took over his son's body. He was certain that wasn't his son right there… it was just a matter of figuring out who exactly it was. Right now though, he didn't have that kind of time…

Espio was along a wall, and pulled his tongue back towards his mouth from around Lien-Da's wrists before moving again. The Echidna woman lost her gun; it fell down to the ground from the sudden motion from Espio and in front of Mighty.

Mighty did have enough strength to grab the gun with his foot and pull it towards his left hand, which wasn't bleeding like the right. He smirked and held the barrel up towards Lien-Da.

"Looks like the tides changes for you Lien-Da!"

She did the only thing she could, called for help.' Shoot them!" It was addressed towards the woman who was behind the Robotnizer's control panel. "Shoot the Brotherhood!"

The woman didn't even think her actions out before she raised her gun towards the group of Echidnas in the corner.

"This is it… " Sabre sighed before he lowered his head.

Espio moved quickly, still invisible towards the woman with the gun. The Echidna was able to pick up an outline of the moving creature moving in front of her and quickly aimed, her finger pulling back the trigger…

----------------------

Julie-Su got a clear shot, and quickly whipped around with her gun aimed high towards the structure above her head. She pulled the Trigger back and the shot rang though the whole airstrip before that blue-white light was shot from the barrel into the structure.

The stone crackled before the whole thing started to explode, cave in on itself. Julie-Su was watching and not even aware that she was approached from behind by an Echidna with a tazer in his hands.

He leaps forward and struck her in the back, making her yelp sharply before she fell forward. The person grabbed her and pulled her up over his shoulder.

Her blaster was dropped down to the floor, the double barrel glowing intensely for a second before fading back to cold, dead, black.

---------------------------------

"Found it"

The double doors to the control room of the ship opened and he stepped inside, unaware of what happened on the outside. He looked over the control panel in front of him and whined slightly. He didn't know anything about flying a plane like this, but he'd try anything once. Then again, he didn't have much of a choice either, Echindaopolis was depending on him.

He walked towards the control panel and pushed down one button. " Hmm …"

Something that looked like a box came out of the control panel, and Vector got ready in case it was a trap. Instead, the box's speakers rang out with an intense beat, which got Vector's attention.

He was about to go over and embrace the box, since it was the first 'signs of music life' he actually heard in a while. "Oh thank Aurora for you!"

Wait a second, he had something to do here. He closed his eyes, trying to concentrate on his work and not on that music, that was filling his ears. It was so hard, but slowly he pulled himself away and started to push the other buttons on the control panel.

"Now, which one of these starts this damn thing?"

-----------------------------

The shot from the woman's blaster rang though the Robotizer room, and then there was an eerie dead silence. Knuckles near the back of the room, his eyes narrowed, slowly pushed towards the door to leave them alone. He had somewhere to go, though it wasn't sure where exactly that was.

The silence was broken by a step from an invisible creature, a step backwards before it stumbled onto the ground. Slowly, he phased back in coughing heavily. He was hit, in his stomach by the laser and now bleeding freely on the ground.

The echidna woman was shocked, but had to regain her usually blank face while she pointed the gun back up.

Mighty felt like he was about to cry, but tried to keep a strait face looking at his friend dieing on the floor of the room. He, himself pushed up from where he was against the wall and kept the gun on Lien-Da.

"I… should shoot you… for everyone that you hurt… "Mighty gasped, almost choked out. " I should shoot you for every time you killed someone! I shou-"

Locke couldn't hold it off any further, and closed his eyes tightly since it seemed like he accepted that he wouldn't be able to get out of this. He was waiting for the light to come over him, but it never came.

In fact, the light died down slowly from the bottom of the chamber and slowly died out. Locke opened his eyes slowly to find that he was still a living piece of mobian, and the Robotizer was turned off.

The lights overhead were cut off, dimmed and then left the room in almost complete darkness. The only light were from the female Echidna's glowing dreads (The lights that might be in their spikes).

Locke looked up and then out at what was in front of him. Years of training in the Guardianship allowed him to see though the darkness where the Legionaries couldn't. He could see someone was taking advantage of the Darkness, and they were on their side.

------------------
Lara-Le coughed heavily while she crawled though the dirty vents here, her whole outfit was off gray-yellow now because of all the dirt. She stopped to take a break from the crawling to check herself.

She leaned from side to side, looking at her knees that were scraped now. "Here I am. Rolling around in dirt and scraping my knees like a little kid, and for what?... "

For what indeed, though thought for a moment before she would put both knees on the metal under her and push forward.

"For my son… my ex… "

She looked down at the ground in the vent and used two words that she didn't use in a couple of years in reference to them.

"For my family."

---------------

Lien-Da just noticed that Knuckles was gone, and looked around in the room to try and find him. She didn't hear the buzzing sound behind her, Charmy coming up with his stinger facing her back. He backed up slowly before Lien-Da's ear piercing scream echoed though the room.

It didn't die down until she fell forward on her face along the ground, shivering and shuddering from the poison injected into her body.

Charmy drew back, another stinger growing in place of the old one. He had one more target in the room to take out before he'd be done.

Mighty looked confused, but took this time to check on Espio. He walked over to his purple friend and knelt down, putting his bloody hand on his shoulder.

"Espio" His voice was uncertain, worried.

Espio grunted slightly before looking up at his friend with a pained look. "What's going on?" He couldn't tell anymore, his vision was blurred.

"I have just as good of a idea as you…..don't worry Espio, I won't let ya die.
" That wasn't a promise, it was a guarantee to his friend.
