From Ashes to Ashes, Chapter 7

	Suddenly there's a flash of whites.  Sebrina and Erica have arrived.
	"Did I miss anything?" asks Sebrina.
	The Knothole gang quickly fills Sebrina in on the details.
	"I see, Mary, can I see that book?"
	"Like, sure," Marigold hands Sebrina Tails' book.  Sebrina takes a quick glance.
	"Ahh, that old spell.  OK, who's the patient."
	Everyone points to Sonic.
	"OK, here goes nothing." Sebrina shouts out some magical incantation from the book.
	"Not again!" Sonic scream, feeling the tearing sensation through him.
	There's a flash.  Where Sonic once there is now two hedgehogs, one blue, one green, both exhausted.
	"What, like, happened?" asked Marigold
	"Simple," explains Sebrina, "I took the Psycho out of Sonic."
	The green hedgehog comes to.  "What happened?"  Psycho looks to his left and sees Sonic lying.
	"What the ...?!"  Psycho looks down at himself.  "What am I?  Who am I?"
	"You're Psycho," explains Sebrina.
	"Not I'm not, I'm, I'm Sonic, aren't I?"
	Amy Rose now pushes her way to the front.  "Ohh!  More cute hedgehogs!"  Amy runs up to Psycho and hugs him.
	"I sure feel like Sonic," Psycho remarks sarcastically.
	"Well, you're not, you're half Sonic.  The real Sonic is over there," Sebrina points to Sonic.
	"So, like, now what?" Psycho asks.
	"So," Sally interrupts, "until we're sure you're OK, I guess you're staying here."
	"What do you mean OK?"
	"Like," Marigold interrupts, "when you're not, like, crazy, insane, loco."
	"Crazy?!  CRAZY?!"  Psycho lets out a chaotic laugh and runs into the Great Forest, lighting following his wake.
	"So," Ashe interrupts, "is hedgehog hunting season open?"
	"No, Ashe," said Sally, "I have a feeling he'll be coming back."

Ashes to Ashes, Chapter 8

	Everyone in Knothole went to sleep for the night. Tomorrow they were going to make there trip to the Forbidden Zone to search for the wolf and bear they saw on Nicole's screen. Everyone but Sebrina and Marigold slept. They were up all night, Sebrina teaching Marigold in the ways of magic.

	"BOLT!!!" Marigold screamed, pointing at a nearby rock. A small spark just came from her hand.  "I don't get it.  It's like, I can all this incredible stuff, and then, like, poof!"
	"Well, " Sebrina started explaining, "magic does not come from you, it come from your surroundings.  You just have to make the most of it."
	Mary just starred at Sebrina in complete confusion.  Sebrina sighed and tried to explain it again in a language she could understand.
	"Well, like, you got to find all the good karma around you.  If, like, you get all these negative energies, like, no fireworks, 'k?"
	Marigold chewed her gum, popped a bubble, and nodded in agreement.
	"OK Mary, let's try some teleportation."
	"Like, OK.  EGRESS!!!"
	A bolt of lighting flew by.  Sebrina was gone.  All Marigold could say was "COOL!"

	Sebrina was being carried threw the Great Forest at the speed of light!  The sheer speed almost caused her to passed out.  Her kidnapper started to slow down.  By the time he stop, they were at the edge of the Great Forest.
	"Let go of me!" Sebrina started pounding against her kidnapper.  She gazed upward.  It was Psycho.
	"You are crazy!  Now let me go!  NOW!!!"
	Psycho let Sebrina go.  Sebrina started to make a run for it.  Psycho then appears in front of her, hanging upside from a tree branch.
	"What do you want!?
	Psycho just starred at her with his crazy eyes.  He sighed.
	Sebrina starred back at him.  It was like they both knew what they were thinking.  Psycho jumped on the tree branch he was on and onto his feet.
	"Your eyes," Psycho started, "there's something about them."
	"What do you mean."
	"They're so, so, normal."
	Sebrina just stood there for a moment.  She felt somewhat flattered.
	"Why, thank you Psycho."
	"Please, call me Psy."
	"OK, you can call me Seby."
	Psy just stood there, admiring Seby.
	"Your eyes," Seby said, "I love your eyes."
	Psy closed his eyes.  "I hate them."
	"Why?"
	"I just do.  It's because of these everyone this I'm crazy."
	"I don't think you're crazy."
	Psy blushed.  "You're just saying that."
	"No I'm not." Seby smiled back, "You're sweet, for a hedgehog."
	Psy blushed even more, "Thanks, you're sweet too, for a fox."
	Seby giggled.  "Well, like, I think everyone's going to start worrying about me."
	Psy sighed.  "OK.  Want a lift?"
	Seby giggled.  "Sure"
	Psy carried Seby in his arms.  They stood there for a moment, starring at each other, getting closer.  Psy kissed Seby on the lips.  They both seemed a little shocked about what just happened.  They both shook there heads and in a bolt of lighting, headed back to Knothole.

	"Sebrina!" Marigold screamed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that was going to, like, happen."
	Psy brought Seby to her feet.  She just smiled at Marigold.
	"Is something wrong?"
	"No, nothing's wrong Mary," Seby just walked around in a daze, heading back to the bed the Freedom Fighter's set for her.
	Marigold looked at Psy, "What, like, happened?"
	"I don't know.  I think I'm crazy." 

	With that, Psy fell back, passing out on the Great Forest floor.  Marigold teleported him into her bed;  Mary didn't fell like sleeping, she stayed up practicing her magic.

	It is now late afternoon.  Sally goes over to wake up Marigold and Tails and screams.  Tails takes his pillow and covers his head, trying to go back to sleep.  Sonic and Ashe rush in.
	In unison, "What's wrong Sal?"
	Sally just pointed to the bed.  Psy was sleeping there.  Ashe walked up to the bed and whispers in his ear, "So, was it as good for you as it was for me?"
	Psy turned over and opened his eyes wide open.  "What the ....?"
	Ashe grabbed Psy and through him over to Sonic.  "So," Ashe said, "where's Mary?"
	"Who's Mary?"
	Ashe punched him in the stomach.  "You know, the fox that was in that bed, now, where is she."
	"I don't know, now LET ME GO!!!" Psy sent and electrical shock through his quill.  Sonic let go, stunned.  Psy leapt at Ashe.  Another fight starts.  The Knothole gang, including Tails, wakes up at the noise.  Seby burst into the room first.
	"Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!!!"
	Psy immediately stopped and in a flash of lighting, stood in front of Seby.  "Good morning," he said, smiling.
	Ashe was on one knee, panting.  "Oh, don't want to finish the fight?  Fine.  WHERE'S MARY!?"
	"I'm, like, right here."
	"What the ....?"
	Marigold teleported in back of Ashe.  "Boo!"
	Ashe jumped.  "DON'T DO THAT!"
	Everyone laughed at Ashe.
	"NOT FUNNY!"
	The laughter died down slowly.  "OK," Sally said, "Everyone, outside, let's discuss are plans for tonight."

	The plans took about an hour to go over, and some changes were made now that Psy has joined in on the fun.  Ashe, Sally, Sonic, Rotor, Psy, and Seby left under the cover of darkness to the Forbidden Zone.

	In the Forbidden Zone

	"I'm not even suppose to be here today!" Dante, the red wolf screamed, "You know what I mean Bob?"
	Bob just looked back for a second, and continued to rummaging through the junkyard called the Forbidden Zone.
	"What are you doing?"
	Bob stood there silently for a moment.  All of a sudden he turns around with a gun that's pointing at Dante.
	"OK, forget I asked!"
	Bob fire his gun.  Dante fell back, thinking he got shot.  What really got shot was a defective SWATbot walking towards them.  Bob reached into his trenchcoat again, loaded his gun, and fired it at Dante.  Dante was hit with a splash of water.
	Dante shook his head, "What happened?"
	Bob turned back around looking there the junk.
	
	An hour later

	"Man, I'm hungry."  Dante said, "Did you find anything to eat?"
	Bob reached into his trenchcoat again.  His loads in a cookie and pours in some milk and fires it in Dante's mouth.
	Dante gulped it down and belched out fire.  "Excuse me."

	Another hour later

	"Man, I'm bored."  Dante said
	Bob looked back, about to smack him, then he hear footsteps.  Bob motioned for Dante to get down.  Bob got up, loaded his gun this whatever junk he found, and carefully looked around.  Bob made a full circle and didn't see anything.  Then someone covered his eyes.
	"Guess who?"
	Bob just stood there silently.
	"Come one, guess."
	Bob still stood there.
	"You're no fun."
	Bob was let go, he turned around and saw Psy.  Bob drew his gun.  Ashe drew his quicker and shot it out of his hand.
	"Nice try." Ashe said, blowing the smoke from his gun. "So, who are you?"
	Dante leapt out at Ashe and blew fire at him.
	"AHH!!!"  Ashe was on fire.
	Bob picked up his gun and fired another shot of water.
	Ashe shook his quills.  "Thanks."
	Dante was trying to sneak away.  Ashe grabbed him.
	"Where do you think you're going?"  Ashe punched Dante in the face.
	"What was that for?"
	"Let's see, you torched me.  That answer your question?"
	"Sorry about that," Dante belched out some smoke, "Must have been those cookies."
	"Whatever, and you are?"
	"I'm Dante, and that's Silent Bob."
	"Silent Bob?"
	"Yes, he doesn't talk unless he feels like it.  He usually let's his gun do his talking."
	"Nice!"  Ashe high-fived Bob.
	"So," Sally interrupted, "run into any trouble here."
	"No, not really," replied Dante, "I think Bob killed everything here."
	"That explains alot.  We expected running into something here besides you too"
	Ashe laughed. "Bob is the Terminator!"
	"So," Dante started, "you are looking for us?  Why?"
	"Well, it's a long story," said Sally
	"I'm listening."

	Sally and Ashe try to explain to Dante and Bob what happened.  Dante went into a panic.  Bob just stood there, smoking a cigarette he got from in trenchcoat of infinite space.

	"How I'm going get back home?  What about Randal?  What about the store?  What about"
	"SHUT UP!" Everyone screamed at Dante (well, not Bob, obviously)
	"Could I bum a cig?" Ashe asked Bob.  Bob handed one.  "Dude, you are the man"
	"Sebrina, think you can teleport us back to Knothole?"
	"I'll try Sally"
	Sebrina started the incantation.  Ashe's cigarette dropped from his mouth.  Something huge was standing right behind Seby.  Seby didn't know what was going on until the shadow covered over her.  She turned around.
	Everyone in unison "ROBOTNIK!"
