The Sonicverse Stickmin Collection- We Are Triple Threat

Chapter 4

"It doesn't seem to be guarded.." Ellie spoke to herself as she thought of something that could be done.
"I could throw you.. but I don't think that'd be a good idea from this height...
Maybe we could jump down and make a run for it? Yeah, that could work. What do you think?"

The Fox turned to look at the hedgehog, who appeared to be digging through his pockets for something. She watched for a while, before sighing.

"Henry, I don't get how anything in your pockets can help us here. Unless you've got a paracord or something in there for us to—"

"Shh." Henry shushed Ellie, as he continued digging. Ellie rolled her eyes.. until she saw what the hedgehog pulled out. A large barre with an upward-pointing arrow painted on it. Right then and there was when the questions were coming back. Why did he have a barrel in his pants? How did he have a barrel in his pants?

"...how???" She finally asked, while waving her arms at the barrel in Henry's possession. But as expected, the only answer that the kleptomaniac hedgehog would give her, was a hand gesture. Waving one of his hands over his head, and wiggling his fingers mysteriously as he brought them down. In other words, his way of signing 'magic' with one hand.

"Right.. of course. Seriously though, what do you plan on doing with that thing?"

He gave her a look before placing the barrel over the edge. Oddly enough, it seemed to remain there. As if it were defying gravity. As Ellie continued to stare in shock and confusion, Henry simply jumped into the barrel. Moments passed before he poked his head out and motioned the Fox over.
Ellie was still quite skeptical about this. Floating barrel? Floating barrel that Henry was trying to get her in? What kind of plan was this? Whatever it was, she figured it was likely best to trust him on this. After all, when was the last time his plans didn't work?
As soon as Ellie got in, she and the hedgehog were fired out. Almost like those cannons in Some casino-like place she had been to before. If she wasn't so used to how that felt, she would've been screaming in fear. The most confusing thing to her was how there were so many. Henry had only placed one down, right? Well, it wasn't like she could ask and expect an answer.
Charles watched from his helicopter, and once Ellie and Henry were close enough..

"I gotcha!"

He managed to catch them in yet another cannon. Ellies confusion only seemed to rise, while Henry seemed completely fine with this.
Charles spoke out as he aimed the cannon towards the rocket,

"Funny story, actually." He began, "this cannon was built specifically for firing humans and mobians.. weird, right?"

Before he could get an answer of any kind, he fired the cannon, sending the duo directly through the rocket's large window.

—
"Hey Chief.. there's a government helicopter outside of the rocket, and- oh wait... it just fired two mobians in through the window."

Reginald heard this report over the intercoms. Already? After they've come this far, they send someone to stop them when their this close? The noir feline swished his tail around irritatedly, before taking a breath and looking to the coyote.

"Right Hand.. you know what to do."

"'Onnet." With a tip of his large top hat, the coyote rushed out of the control room, with an intention to kill.
