"REMEMBER THE BARREL"
A Sonic and Tails Drabble
By Snodin
.
Sonic Adventure
What was once a beautiful city was now ravaged by earthquakes and massive tidal waves; all the work of a godlike creature called Perfect Chaos.
As Sonic and his friends looked on from a safe standpoint, the hedgehog couldn't help but shiver in his feet. The beast, made almost entirely of water, had a long dragonic snout whose lips surpassed its slimy green eyes. Its squid-like tentacles were powerful enough to swat Eggman's airship out of the sky as though it were an insect. Its roar was so piercing, it was a miracle that Sonic and company still had ears to hear with.
He couldn't remember the last time since he had faced a challenge so great, so unforgiving, so impossible to defeat. "My god," he muttered as he started to panic. "This… this is unbelievable. He just leveled a city… A whole city!"
"Sonic?" peeped Tails worriedly.
"I can't believe what I just saw! Not even Eggman could stop it. And he even absorbed the chaos emeralds' energy!"
"Sonic, stay cool dude! We can still use-"
"IT'S NO USE! WE'RE DONE FOR! WE'RE FINISHED! GAM OVER, MAN, GAME OVER! GOODBYE, CRUEL WORLD!"
"SONIC!" Tails ran to him and grabbed the hedgehog by his shoulders, shaking him widly. "Sonic, look at me! Look at me, bro!" Sonic paused just long enough to hear Tails mutter some very wise words: "Remember the barrel!"
Sonic's green eyes glazed as his mind traveled back in time. "…the…barrel…"

"OH MY GOD! IT'S USELESS! No matter how many times I jump, it just won't budge! Ah-haw-haw, we're finished, Tails! We're finished!"
"Dude, Sonic, relax! Look, it's easy: just move up… and down… Up… and down…"
"Up… and down… up… and… Hey. Hey! It's working! Ha! Hahahahaha! That was easy!"
.
"…You're right, Tails. Thanks, buddy."
Now that his focused was regained, Sonic was ready to jump into battle with Perfect Chaos. Needless to say, he would be victorious.
So remember, kids: No matter how impossible life seems to be at times…
Always remember The Barrel.
