Chapter thirteen-The long hard road out of hell
"There you are you lazy slut!"
"Huh?" Sarah shook her head and looked around wildly. She was no longer on anything that would constitute carnival grounds. "I'm back home…" she thought.
"Hey! I'm talkin to you Sarah! Pay attention god damn it!"
"Murray?" Sarah recognized that voice a mile away. She turned around and saw her boss at the record store she worked at standing in the doorway of the door to the area behind the store.
"Oh you remember me? How sweet…now hurry up and get in the fucking store if you want to have a job!"
Normally Sarah would have quietly made her way back into that sweat box hell hole of a store but something in her. Something that had been planted as the result of her experiences in the Dark Carnival awoke her and she walked towards her boss and looked into his eyes. "Murray…fuck you I quit." Without allowing Murray to say anything in response, Sarah shoved him aside and stormed away deciding now would be a good time to consider going back to school and learning how to open her own record store.
Elsewhere…in the city of Detroit
"There you two are!"
"What?" Violent J and Shaggy opened their eyes and looked all around them. They where no longer in the Dark Carnival but rather in their dressing room. ICP didn't recognize the man in the doorway but figured he was with the arena they where playing at. Neither member of the group knew were they where.
"You guys have about 600 pissed off Juggalos out there demanding ICP get out there. You better hurry I'm not sure how much longer Twiztid can keep them busy!"
J shook his head, "Yeah…don' t worry…we're on our way."
"Okay," the man nodded and shut the door.
J turned to Shaggy, "Well come on Shaggs! Let's get the fuck out there and put on a fucking show!" J got ready to walk out but was stopped by Shaggy, "What man?"
"Don't you think we're a bunch of hypocrites now? Makin money off of something we don't believe in anymore?"
J thought for a moment then looked at Shaggy quizzically, "What are you fucking stupid?"
"Good point," Shaggy high fived J and ran out with him, Microphone in hand.
Somewhere in the FF7 world…
Ash blinked several times and looked around, he was standing in the same place he had been when he fell asleep in his car. He also realized he was leaning against his car. "We did it…we killed the Butterfly." Ash looked ahead and saw the town that he had originally decided to stop in to fix his cars. "Where the hell are you guys?" Ash looked around and saw that he was all alone. "I guess they went back to wherever they where before…" Ash decided that there was little more to do here and walked over to the door to his car sliding it in and turning the key which was already in the ignition. To Ash's surprise the car started with ease and Ash put his foot on the pedal and headed for the nearest town. "Sure I still haven't made it back home," he said to himself. "But then again that's not really anything new." He sighed and decided that when he did get to that town he would take a nice long vacation.
