"Silver! Come in! Silver! Silver!" Knuckles's voice Shouted through Silver's communicator. Light snatched it up and pressed the button.

"Knuckles! Boy am I glad yo hear you!"

"Light? Where's Silver? Why is he not answering?" Knuckles sounded frightened.

Light frowned and looked at Silver. She pointed at Silver, then did a thumbs up under her chin and pushed it out. She then she made two fists but her thumbs were up and smacked her fists together, knuckles together. After that she spelled out Knuckles's name. (You weren't with Knuckles?)

Silver's eyes widened and he places his hand on his throat, "We were separated. If he's not with Rouge, then there's trouble."

"He lost his hearing Knuckles. What's going on over there?" She responded.

"It's not looking good Light! I need help but Shadow isn't responding and Sonic needs to protect Elise."

Light looked around, noting the faces around her, "I'm coming."

"No!" He said quickly, "You can't let Eggman know your whereabouts! If he gets a hold of you, he wins! You need to- AHHHH!"

The communicator shut off and Light's blood froze. She stared at it as if Knuckles's voice would somehow sound through it again. However, she knew something awful had happened.

"What is it?" Silver asked with worry in his golden eyes.

Light touched her fingers to her temple then flipped her hand and moved it as if she were pushing something away from her face. After that the same sign with her thumb and chin then touched her fingers to her chin and moved them to her other palm. (I don't know. Not good.)

Silver frowned and sighed. He looked to Amy, who was curled up on the couch, asleep.

"Go to him."

Light's eyes widened in shock, "What?"

Silver knew what she said without the sign language, "He needs you and neither me nor Amy can do anything. If you all go, and everyone one protects you, there's a chance. Man Sonic and Shadow are gonna kill me!"

Light wasn't sure if she felt excited or frightened. What she did know, was that her uncle Knuckles needed her. She twirled her pointer finger as if she were telling someone to "Wrap it up" then spelled out Knuckles. (Where is he?)

"Eggman's base. You'll need to be very careful and try to be sneaky about it. Get him out and leave! Do you understand me?" His eyes were very strict about this.

Light nodded once, feeling her stubborn determination set in. Shock placed a hand on her shoulder and nodded, silently telling her that he was with her. The others nodded as well. Each determined glare mirroring the next. Light looked back at Silver and Amy and said, "Take care of each other. We'll be back!"

Amy nodded, signing it to Silver as Light and the rest of them headed for the Lightning. She altered the plane so it could fit everyone in again and Shock hopped up beside her. The opening appeared and they headed out. The hardness in Light's eyes didn't leave. She stared at the clouds ahead and hoped Knuckles was okay.

"What's the plan?" Shock yelled above the wind. It seems he didn't know her hearing was beyond ordinary but she didn't mention it.

Light pressed a button on her plane and brought a speaker to her mouth, "Attention! We don't have much preparation so here's the basics. If there's something big and heavy let Buck take care of it. Rachael can sneak Twig into some sort of control room to help us out. Husk will be invisible before we even land so we have a secret weapon. Shock and I will fry the wires and I can blind or blast anyone in our way," She tightened her grip on the chaos emerald in her hand as she put opened a box, "Put these on. They're communicators."

She hung up and looked at Shock, "That answer your question?"

Shock nodded and his eyes softened, "You're family's real important to you aren't they?" He looked back at the clouds with a far away look. His quills whipped around behind him and the rings on them glittered in the light.

Light nodded, "They've done so much for me. Even before I was born. They're still going through hell because of me," She looked at Shock with a furious glare of anger, "I won't let whacked out scientists continue to hurt my family!"

Shock reached over and placed a hand on the base of Light's neck. She looked at him in surprise. He smiled softly and said, "I'm kinda glad for the wacky scientists. If not for them you wouldn't be here now."

Light felt a shiver run down her spine and she looked straight ahead; paying very close attention. Wouldn't want to hit a passing cloud or something.

"Light," Shock almost whispered. She side glanced him with question, but he only shook his head and looked away. They flew in silence for the rest of the way. Light wanted to know what he was going to say, but they were near land and needed to get their heads in the game. She turned on the mike again and said.

"Get your game faces on guys. Husk turn invisible! We're about to land."

"I can get Twig in through there," Rachael pointed at a vent on the side of the building. Light nodded and Twig climbed on the fox's back before she leaped into the vent.

"There's a large door about ten yards around the corned that I can open. As long as you guys can be prepared to fight," Buck said with a fierce glare. His handsome face was almost frightening this way.

The rest of them nodded and followed Buck closely. He rubbed his hands together and placed his palms to the bottom of the steel door. He clenched his fists, his fingers digging into the metal with ease. He then lifts the door with surprising ease. He barely strained a muscle!

They were met with a team of swat bots on the other side of the door. Light released her lightning on them and half dropped instantly. Buck ripped a large, heavy pipe off of the wall and beat two down with it. The rest Shock and Husk took out.

"So far so good," Light said as her communicator buzzed.

"Hey guys! I found Knuckles! He's in the room below you, but be careful. He's hooked to an electric chair," Twig said quickly, "I'll shut off the electricity as soon as you're outside the door but you'll only have a few minutes 'cause I gotta bolt after."

Light smiled, What a Trooper, "Thanks Twig!"

They ran down some stairs, taking out a couple bots on the way. However, there was no alarm... is Eggman really that dumb?

Light didn't think so. She had a bad feeling Robotnick was toying with them.

The communicator buzzed and Twig spoke panting, "I had to split fast, but I disabled the alarm system too."

Light would have smiled if she wasn't in front of a steel door, "What about Knuckles?"

"I'm sorry Light, I didn't have the time. You'll need to figure it out yourself."

The communicator shut off and Light grumbled. This was certainly a complication.

"Can you open this Buck?" Light asked with a stubborn expression. He nodded and opened the door the same way as the last one. Light almost wished she hadn't opened it.

Knuckles was hanging by his wrists with wired stabbed into his arms. Light wanted to cry, throw up, scream and then kill Robotnick slowly. How could he do this?

Light thought hard a moment and noticed a box that the wires were hooked to. She looked at the group and had an idea.

"We all need to join hands. Shock, you touch your other hand to that box and ill touch the wires on Knuckle's wrists."

Shock nodded, "The electricity will pass through all of us to the box and fry it without hurting him more."

The group joined hands with Shock on one end and Light on the other. She looked at Shock who nodded and the two touched the wires at the same time. The box sparked and fried and Knuckles was released. Light caught the limp echidna with worry in her violet eyes. His hands and arms wee caked in dried blood covered in new fresh blood. The wired remained on the wall, now out of Knuckles's skin. They had to get out before Eggman noticed! They all went back out the way they came and were near the entrance. Almost there...

The door fell closed with a clang and the group huddled together, looking around. Light held her uncle close trying to protect him. How did Eggman know there were there? Twig disabled the alarm!

"Did you really think you could take him alive?" A blood chilling voice asked.

Light frowned in fright and confusion. Who is that? And why isn't it Robotnick?

"Now that I have so many of you here, I think I'll take you all. Now!"

Light clenched her teeth and handed Knuckles to Husk so he would turn invisible as well. Over her dead body!
