As we meet back with our heroes, they're still trapped in the room with the barrel blocking their only exit. "Now who ever thought of this trap was pretty smart... TO GET HIMSELF TRAPPED!" Sonic yells. "Calm down spikes, we'll get out of this trap." RD tells Sonic. Sonic just scoffs. "Whatever. I'm gonna sleep..." Sonic growls. Then, Sonic heads over to the door and goes to sleep.

(In Sonic's dream)

Sonic is seemingly floating in the middle of nowhere. His body not in super form like his past dream. "Luna! Where are you!" Sonic exclaims. That's when, the princess of the night appears in front of Sonic. "Thou has known I was here. How interesting..." Luna says calmly. Sonic just shrugs. "I knew because you appeared in my other dreams. Now, why am I here now?" Sonic asks. "I have come to give thou a warning. Two of your friends are not how they seem. Soon, you will have to fight them both, and quite possibly..." Luna tells Sonic. Sonic shakes his head. "No! I won't kill them!" Sonic exclaims. "I am sorry Sonic, but it might come to death." Luna tells Sonic. "No... No... NOOOOOOOO!" Sonic yells out. Sonic lunges out to punch Luna in complete anger of what he has been told. Before Sonic can land a punch though, Luna disappears. "Dammit! I WON'T HAVE MY FRIENDS KILLED BY MY HANDS! YOU HEAR ME!" Sonic yells out into the darkness. Suddenly, a beam comes from the darkness, hitting Sonic square in the chest, causing the world around him to break apart.

(In Carnival Night)

Sonic suddenly wakes back up after the hit in the chest at the dream world. "AAAAAH!" Sonic screams, feeling the pain of the blast on his body. After a few seconds, the pain subsides, and Sonic looks around. Sonic first sees Rainbow Dash relaxing bear the door the heroes came from. Then, Sonic sees Twilight and Tails, rigging TNT to the barrel! "WHAT THE FUCK!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Sonic yells at Tails and Twilight. Tails and Twilight look at Sonic, their faces filled with crazy. "THIS BARREL JUST WON'T GO! We've decided to blow it up!" Tails exclaims. "ARE YOU THAT FUCKING CRAZY!? The explosion, even if it takes out the barrel, WILL KILL US TO!" Sonic yells at Tails. "Well, that's a prince we'll have to pay if we wanna get out..." Twilight tells Sonic. Tails reaches into his bag, and brings out a remote with a single button. The remote is a detonator. "Oh no ya don't!" Sonic exclaims. Sonic runs at Tails, and grabs the detonator from his hands. Sonic then smashes the remote against the ground. A bad choice. When the remote hits the ground, the button gets pressed before the detonator is smashed, causing the TNT to go off. Sonic and the others are caught in the initial explosion, along with the barrel. "ARRGH!" Sonic yells. When the explosion stops, Sonic and the others are spread across the room, severely injured. The barrel though, is untouched. "H-how?..." Tails whispers seeing the barrel still there. Sonic gets up, and sits down on the barrel. "You've tried everything. It's not like this barrel can go up and down." Sonic tells Tails. Just as Tails says that, the barrel starts to move up and down a bit. Seeing this, Tails figures out a solution. "ALL WE HAD TO DO IS THINK UP AND DOWN!? (Starts to swear like a madman.)" Tails yells.

"Calm down dude, at least we have a way of escaping." Sonic tells Tails. Sonic goes on the barrel, and starts to think up and down, causing the barrel to go up and down. The barrel goes down enough for Sonic to jump out the room the heroes are in, into another room under it. "Come on guys!" Sonic calls out to his friends.

(One barrel maneuvering later)

After getting out of the blasted barrel room, Tails, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight reach where Sonic is. "Well that wa- ARGH!" Twilight yells. A purple aura consumes Twilight, and when it disappears, Twilight is back to her normal form. "Heh, guess the effects of that spell were temporary." Sonic says to Twilight. "Lets hope so, I don't wanna turn into that thing again..." Twilight says. Then, the heroes run off, until they reach some sort of suction tube. Unfortunately, Sonic couldn't stop in time, so he was sucked in. "SONIC!" The other heroes yell. That's when, they hear the blue hedgehog's voice. "WOOO HOOOO!" Sonic yells in excitement. "Sounds like he's having fun. Lets go." RD says to the others. Rainbow Dash allows the tube to suck her in, and sees what Sonic went through. Rainbow Dash is being pulled by tube over tube, until one of them pulls her downwards, causing her to fall. "Oops..." RD thinks as she falls. Rainbow Dash falls on top of Sonic, who's waiting at the bottom. Rainbow is soon followed by Tails and Twilight, who also fall into the hole. "OW!" The heroes yell as they land on top of each other. They manage all to get up, and look ahead. They see Knuckles with another button at his feet. "Going up?" Knuckles asks cockily.

Knuckles presses the button at his feet, causing the polarity of the tube to shift, and sucking up the heroes. "SHHHHHHIT!" Sonic yells as he feels himself getting pulled up by the tube. The heroes get pulled up to another platform above the tube, and look around. "Well, at least this isn't a trap." RD says. Rainbow Dash's words are soon to prove wrong, as a voice comes from the sky. "On the contrary, you fell right into my trap." The voice says. That's when, Eggman's a Egg Mobile lowers, and it is placed into a machine. The machine has these orbs sticking out, along with a giant metallic ball in the middle. "Eggman!" Sonic exclaims. "It is time we finish our little rivalry, don't you think Sonic?" Eggman asks evilly. Sonic smiles confidentially at Eggman. "I couldn't agree more." Sonic says. Then, Eggman presses a button in his machine, and it slowly begins to power up.

Pinkie Pie pops into the room.

Pinkie: Brin-

The Author brings out a pistol from his desk drawer, and aims it at Pinkie.

Author: I TOLD YOU NOT TO POP UP ON ME LIKE THAT!

Fires a warning shot near Pinkie's front hooves, and Pinkie runs out the room.
