SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IN:
LYRA UNLEECHED, PART III

There would be two possible Death Egg part crash sites that would be investigated, through cooperation between the Secret Service and the Freedom Fighters. Most of the newly formed Secret Service was created from the substitute Freedom Fighters who had gone back into the field, after their time in the council had become a flop. All were happy with thier new job aside from Hamlin, but to at least prove himself useful he joined anyways.

The Freedom Fighters, consisting of Sonic, Tails, Rotor, Antoine, Bunnie, Nicole and Amy. They were stationed in the Great Desert (though far away from the Sand Blasters and the Legion). Nicole had built herself a new body, but it looked exactly like her holographic lynx form, only more solid. “Whoa, that looks pretty sleek Nicole.” Sonic complimented.

“Thanks. I used the basic blueprints from a Robian, augmented it with some reverse engineered Metallix tech, while retaining my hacking skills, not to mention a few nanites that form a more or less organic looking skin.” She noted.

“I also see you have traded your weaponry for something else.” Tails noted as he saw Amy’s new gear.

Amy seemed to have gained a shift in attitude after training with her cousin for a while. She had replaced her hammer with a bow and arrow, though they were still red and yellow like her hammer. “My cousin suggested archery, because it learns patience and focus, and while tricky, really pays off.” Amy said as she demonstrated her skills by quickly drawing an arrow and pinning and shooting a flower from the top of a cactus without damaging the rest of the plant. “The arrows are als the same material as my hammer, so very durable. It’s also easier to manifest them then my hammers. I really got control of the powers the Ring of Acorns gave me.”

“It would fit the mission better as well, we need precision and focus over brute force.” Nicole said.

“Finding Death Egg Part first, admiring looks and skills later, please!” Tails asked as they moved on in the desert.

“Don’t mind him, he still upset about Fiona.” Sonic noted.

“I understand. Then we better put everything at work to get her back. Don’t dilly-dally!” Amy said as she twirled an arrow in her hand.

“Who is she and what has she done to Amy?” Rotor whispered jokingly to Bunnie and Antoine.

“Ah do notice that she has matured…Makes ya wonder what has happened down at Mercia.” Bunnie said, raising an eyebrow.

“Let’s ask her after thees ees all over.” Antoine replied.

Near the edge of the desert, near some ruins, Sally was aiding the Secret Service. She had led the Substitute Freedom Fighters before and she felt someone needed to keep Geoffrey from doing something foolish, after all his wife was kidnapped. The group consisted or herself, Geoffrey, Arlo Armadillo, Penelope Platypus, Hamlin Pig, Dylan Porcupine and Larry the Lynx.

“You got to be kidding me. She’s taking charge?” Hamlin asked annoyed.

“She has had more experience dealing with the Death Egg and these new Eggman Robots, not to mention I don’t trust my own judgement with Hershey’s dissapearance.” Geoffrey said.

“Come on, man! Where is your pride. You didn’t like being told what to do after all. What happened to you? You gone soft?” Hamlin asked.

“I grew up Hamlin. Being married, almost being mindwiped by Naugus if it wasn’t for the Knothole Freedom Fighters. As I recall you were willing to put Sally down as leader out of mere spite not to mention wanted me arrested even if I wasn’t in control of my own self?” Geoffrey pointed out.

“Why did we allow him back on this team? Is there really a shortage of trainees?” Arlo asked annoyed.

“Everything I did was for the safety of the nation, sorry for taking it a bit too serious. But like I said, I’m entirally serious…” Hamlin said as he tried sitting down on a nearby rock, only it wasn’t a rock. “Youch! That cactus wasn’t there a moment ago. Larry!”

“It wasn’t me! Maybe it was me, but I can’t control it!” Larry said nervously.

“I have no control over my first, which is going to punch you!” Hamlin growled.

“HAMLIN STAND DOWN!” Sally shouted. Hamlin stopped. “You are now a Freedom Fighter again, and I have been put in charge of this operation so whether you like it or not you answer to me. If you can’t put your stupid pride aside for the sake of saving various lives, you have no spot on this team, so work with us, or get out of here!” Hamlin groaned, but stood down for now. “Now, we search that Death Egg piece.

Group one used Nicole’s scans to track down the Death Egg Piece. They came across an oasis full of palm trees. In the middle, at the pool in the center, was a huge round eye-shaped object. “The eye of the Death Egg. An optical scanner.” Nicole noted.

“We found it, now let’s deal with it before Blowhard and Blockhead show up.” Sonic said as they moved towards it.

However, they were looked apon from the top of the palm trees. The attacker eyed them hungrily as she licked her lips. She silently moved through the fern. She was ready to catch them off guard…but she didn’t count on Bunnie’s good hearing. She quickly turned around, morphed her arm into a cannon and shot at her direction, the attacker leaping out of the tree to dodge, forced to reveal herself. “Darn it…now you ruined the game!” Lyra moaned.

“Who the heck are you? Are you with Heavy and Bomb?” Sonic asked.

“Of course, they are my bros! I’m Lyra. I’m here to pick up the eye, have a feast and add some dollies to my collection.” Lyra teased.

“Collection? You’re the one! You took Fiona? Where is she?” Tails asked angrily.

“Fiona…nope, the name doesn’t ring a bell. But my dollies are whole new persons compared to what they are before so who she was now is no longer whom she is now…” Lyra said, faking a grimace that looked like she was in deep thought.

“What are you rambling about?” Tails asked.

“It’s best to just show you. After all my dollies love to play. Come on out, my pretties!” Lyra said as she snapped her fingers. From the treetops, several Mobian girls climbed down. Their outfits were still frilly and girly, but had shorter skirts and several additions that made it easier to fight in them. The heroes recognized most of them.

“Is that Hershey?” Sonic asked. “I think it is…and that’s Nicolette Weasel, Nack’s sister…that explains why we haven’t heard from her in a long time. And Lien-Da…(tries not to laugh) that would be incredibly funny if not for the current situation.”

“Fiona?” Tails said as he recognized her among the dollies. Her eyes were dull and grey like the rest of them. “What have you done to her, you bitch?”

“Tsk, tsk! Such language for a little boy. But if you want to know…I made them into precious dollies. Obedient dollies. My dollies. They belong to me now. I groom them, dress them, do the thinking for them. They have not a single worry left. They are so much more beautiful now.” Lyra said with sadistic delight.

“You are insane! Downright sick!” Tails growled, his anger to a breaking point.

“Sanity is overrated. Now my dollies, it’s playtime. Be a good girl and entertain our new playmates while mommy picks up some supplies!” Lyra said as she sicks her brainwashed minions on them.

Lien-Da lunged at Sonic, who jumped back and rushed at her, knocking her back with a spin-dash. “I’m surprised Eggman managed to patch you up after the Iron Queen blew out your brains and all. But I’m glad to be stuck with the one I am least conflicted to fight.” Sonic said as he readied himself. He was then surprised that Lien-Da’s hands glowed and a lightning whip came out, and knocked him back. “Ouch. I guess Eggman didn’t just fix up your face.” Sonic groaned, as he then quickly dodged another lightning whip. Lien-Da kept lashing at him, not allowing to let him get close enough.

“I need something else…Idea!” Sonic said as he tunneled underground, and reappeared under Lien-Da. He then knocks her off her feet, knocked her in the stomach in mid-air and knocked her in a palm tree. “Oh yeah.” But Lien-Da picked herself up and cracked her neck. She was still going. “Can’t they go down easily for once?”

Nic had pulled out two guns and fired them at Bunnie, whom held out her mechanical arm and a small forcefield rose up in front of her to deflect the blasts. “Listen, weasel-gal, yer an old friend of Fiona so I don’t wanna hurt ya, but Ah’ll have ta if ya don’t stand down.” Bunnie said. Nic didn’t react as she instead aimed at Bunnie’s feet, as the rabbot jumped up to avoid. “Ah warned ya!” she said as she stretched out her arm and tried to punch, but Nic used her tail as a spring to jump up, and then deliver a fly kick towards Bunnie.

Bunnie got up and tried to find a way to hit back without hurting Nic. She then got an idea as she punched the ground, cracking it and Nic fell throught up to her waist, unable to get out as she got stuck in the ground. “Just stay raight there!”

Antoine held out one of his new swords, the crystal swords, using it to block any of the swipes from Hershey’s claws. “Madame Hershey…(each ‘…’ is a swipe of Hershey against the blade making a ‘clang’ sound) I do not wish to inflict any injury…certainly not to a mademoiselle as yourself and…please stop attacking me now.” He said as he stumbled back.

Hershey didn’t listen as she did a sweep kick to knock Antoine on his back, then prepared to dig her claws into him if he hadn’t rolled out of the way in time. She then swiped, Antoine jumping back to avoid. “Missed me!” he said, before several strands of blonde hair fell of his hair. “Hey, ze barber is not cheap!”

Tails wanted to head straight for Lyra, but Fiona was in his way. “Fiona…I do not want to harm you…please stand aside.” Tails said as Fiona tried to deliver a kick, but Tails jumps back to avoid. “Whatever she did to you, you can fight, please come back Fiona.” Fiona punched at Tails, but Tails ducks under it. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Tails! Your boyfriend!”

Fiona briefly grabbed at her head, paralyzed as she muttered: “Tails…help me!” she noted.

Lyra briefly sensed something was going on as she turned back, forgetting her mission for a second as she then ran back to Fiona’s side, and backhands Tails, sending him flying away. “No, Fifi…you’re with me now! Boys only will give you trouble. They’ll break your heart…I’ll never break your heart!” Lyra said as she injected Fiona again. “Now let all those nasty thoughts wash away…” she said as Fiona calmed down again.

“As for you…” Lyra said as she moved towards a dazed Tails. “…can’t you just leave us alone, little punk!” she then kicks him violently in the stomach. “A little boy who thinks he can play with the big boys, and thinks he deserves the girl…you’re a pathetic little worm. You don’t deserve her!”

“This worm has teeth!” Tails said as he slashed with his tails, one ripping part of her dress, the other grazing her cheek.

“My face! My beautiful face.” Lyra whined. “Now you’ve done it! I’ll suck you dry!” she said as she ran at Tails, who managed to get up, lashing with his namesakes again, but Lyra agilely dodged the swipes as she tried to deliver a few lightning-fast kicks, Tails blocking them off with his namesakes, before he bounced himself up with his namesakes and launches a flying kick.

Lyra was sent flying back, but she lands back on her feet with cat-like agility as she undid her black fingerless gloves. “So fit…so strong…he must taste well.” She muttered. Tails dove towards her for another attack, but Fiona jumped back in, and kicked him out of the air, and he stumbled across the floor right at Lyra’s feet. “You worry too much about her, but there’s no need to. I take good care of her.” Lyra said as she lifted Tails by his arm.

As she did, he felt like his flesh was being penetrated on the spot she held him. She showed off the palm of her other hand, which showed another fanged leech-like sucker. “I normally would dig my teeth into you, but this way is slower and more painful.” She gloated.

However, something shot at Lyra and pierced right through the hand she was showing off at Tails. Lyra screeched in pain as she dropped Tails. It was Amy who had shot an arrow at her. Lyra pulled out the arrow in pain, but it hadn’t fazed her much. “Nobody touches my friends.” Amy said as she aimed another arrow. However, Fiona got in the way.

“Na-ah-ah. Not going to happen. Unless you are willing to go through her friend to get to me.” Lyra mocked. “But on second thoughts…you are quite a cutie. Maybe I’ll turn you into a dolly.” Lyra said as she allowed Fiona to move aside enough so she could use her hypnosis.

To her surprise, it didn’t work. “I’ve been fighting Lord Hood for the last few months, compared to him your hypnosis is quite weak. I can shrug it off.” Amy said.

“Shame, guess I’ll have to hurt you until you are weak enough to command.” Lyra said as to Amy’s surprise, she flew up in the air…she had somehow grew a second tail and like her friend Tails uses them as a propellor, and then launched a flying kick. “I didn’t even know I could do this, it’s a pleasant surprise. For me at least, not so much for you!” Lyra said as she then delivered a copy of Tails’ Spin Dash and bumped in Amy’s stomach, knocking her down. A dazed Amy was at her feet, and she readied her stingers. “I think I’ll name you Pinkie!”

But Lyra was interrupted again as she was shot by something and knocked back. Nicole had aimed her arm, now morphed into a cannon, at Lyra. She moved at Tails and helped the weakened kitsune get off. “Back away from the girl.” She said.

“Darn it! Why does everyone keep interfering with my fun?” Lyra growled as she flew over at the eye of the Death Egg. Her two tails fused back together just at the moment she landed. “Shame it wears off so fast. I’ll be sure to drain the little bratboy faster next time.” Lyra said as she pulled out a remote. She pushed the button and she, alongside with her brainwashed victims and the Death Egg Piece vanished.

“Fi…Fiona!” Tails muttered weakly.

“I couldn’t save her Tails. But that leech girl has been tagged. That blast put a nanoprobe on her, now I can track her down. We’ll get her back.” Nicole assured him.

“What did that crazy bitch to my little bro?” Sonic growled angrily.

“She’s a leech, a genetically modified one, because she displayed some unusual attributes. She is apparently able to temporarily take on the powers of Chaos adepts whose blood she drinks…temporary at least. She is also able of limited hypnosis, and some sort of venom to keep her mind control strong.” Nicole explained, going by the data she had collected.

“She is messed up. But now we can at least follow her. Next time we are going to inflict some serious payback.” Sonic said, smacking his fist into his other hand.

With the other group, Sally and the Secret Service have ran into some trouble of their own. They had found a Death Egg Piece, a piece off the outer shell. But as soon as they approached it, they were met with Heavy and Bomb. “Oh, thanks for finding that for us. We were so worried about it, take some bombs for a reward!” Bomb said as he tossed some explosives around. The Secret Service scattered.

Heavy also dropped in with some Enforcers. Heavy charged at the Substitutes. Sally and Geoffrey would deal with Bomb.

Sally used her jet boots to fly near Bomb’s hoverboard, carrying Geoffrey. The latter aimed his crossbow at him. “You! Rustbucket, where is my wife? Where is Hershey?” he growled.

“I dunno…oh, maybe my lil sis Lyra added her to her collection, but I’m not sure, all Mobians look alike to me. You know, my sis is a hoot. She adds Mobians to her collections, makes ‘dollies’ of them, and when she’s done with a toy, she tosses it aside in the trash. Where they belong.” Bomb taunted.

Geoffrey roared in anger as he spazzed out and fired bolt after bolt at Bomb. “Geoffrey, sit still or I can’t stay aloft!” Sally warned.

“No worries about that, you won’t be flying for long anyway.” Bomb said as he tossed more bombs, which Sally barely dodged. Sally tossed Geoffrey into Bomb, who clung to the hoverboard, while Sally herself charged into Bomb and tried pushing him off, with no success. He then grabbed Sally by the back of his head and starts tightening his grip. “I wonder if your heads pops just as nicely as my bombs.”

Geoffrey saved her by shooting a bolt in his eye, as Sally got loose and used her jet boosters to knock him off his board, sending him falling down. The hoverboard went out of control and they got off as it crashed in a group of Enforcers.

Heavy went after Larry, who screamed in fear as he ran. Heavy swiped with his arm, but with his jinxes caused the giant robot to slip and fall down into the ground. Larry sighed, but then found one of Bomb’s bombs land near him. He panicked but the fuse went out. He picked it up, and screamed again as Heavy got up, tossed the Bomb at him and ran for it. “Get back here you little…” Heavy said, but Larry’s jinxes saved him again, the dud bomb was no longer a dud, blew up in his face and knocked him on his back.

Heavy was then pelted by the fire of several laser guns, all courtesy of the remaining Secret Service members. Heavy however, clapped his hands real hard and creates a shockwave to send them all flying. “I don’t have time to play with second fiddlers.”

“I am not a second fiddle!” Hamlin growled as he picked up his cannon again, set it at maximum and fired, but the knockback knocked him down again and he missed his shot.

Arlo had climbed on top of  a rock, curled up into a ball and tossed himself at Bomb. “Cannonball!” he shouted as he hit Heavy, but he bounced off, getting a headache in the process.

“Fools! Chaos adepts can’t scratch me, let alone you!” Heavy said as he stomped the ground, and another shockwave sent them all flying. “You aren’t worth my time!” he said as he moved towards the Death Egg Shell.

Geoffrey and Sally saw their friends were in trouble and rushed at him, but several fireballs forced them to slow down and take cover. Bomb was back, though with one optic damaged. He kept firing fireballs from the fuse on his head to keep them back. “I’m sorry, but we have a delivery to make. But no worries, I’ll send you a little goodbye gift!” Bomb then removed his damaged head, and a new one just formed back into its place. “You’ll think it’s a blast! Watch the head!” Bomb said as he discarded his former head and laughed maniacally.

Heavy and Bomb regrouped near the death Egg Piece. They pulled out the same remote as Lyra, and they teleported away wit hit. The heroes couldn’t give chase as they had to run, as Bomb’s head was about to detonate. They took cover between the rock formations, aside from Hamlin, who didn’t get back up fast enough after his last knockdown, and the explosion engulfed the area. The others had taken cover for the blast, but Hamlin was too late as he was…roasted by the explosion.

“Hamlin!” Sally shouted in concern. “He was a prick, but he didn’t deserve to go down like this.”

“It’s my fault, I knew he wasn’t in prime condition but I brought him along anyways…” Geoffrey said, feeling guilty as well.

“We’ll have to mourn him later. Right now we have to check with the others if they were successfull. The best we can do for now, is to stop the Death Egg from rising.” Sally pointed out. She then came in contact with Nicole. “Nicole, what’s the status?”

“They got away with the Death Egg Piece but I tagged them, I should be able to track them down. Tails is hurt badly though…and I got info on the kidnapper. But I have to go in detail later. What’s status on your side?” Nicole answered.

“We lost one of ours…Hamlin. He was a fool, but still a Freedom Fighter. They got away with this Death Egg Piece as well, but since you tagged one of them, it won’t be for nothing. We’ll regroup and we’ll strike back.” Sally assured her. She put away her communicator and turned to the rest. “We got progress, the kidnapper is tagged, Nicole is going to supply us with data and we can make a plan of attack.”

“I would be so glad to bury some bolts in his or her stomach…” Geoffrey said raising his crossbow.

TO BE CONTINUED
Part three is up of the longer then expected fanfic Lyra unleeched. Part four will be rise and invasion of the death egg and chapter five is the final one...

Immediately I establish the substitutes as no longer being part of the council and Amy's newfound maturity (which we may go in some other time)

And yeah, Lyra is messed up. Don't blame her, she's created that way.

Lyra sure knows how to hold her own in a fight. :)

The plot begins to thicken and Hamlin gets a well-earned death. :D
