Got an urge today and thought I would write another chapter to this. Hope you enjoy it.. :0)
Ash stared at the large number of aliens as they all directed their guns toward him.
"On second thought, maybe all you primitives should leave before things get real ugly."
"You will fall pathetic human." The arbiter shouted as he laughed.
"Actually, I'm gonna run." Ash turned and broke into a sprint as a wall of superheated plasma arced gracefully toward him. He made his way past the registers as the battery hit the storefront, instantly melting it into something unrecognizable.
More plasma poured into the store, melting shelves and setting fire to different portions of the store. The air was getting uncomfortably hot.
"I hope these bastards know they are going to have to pay for all this stuff." A nearby blue light melted and its plastic housing dripped down onto the floor, sizzling as it contacted the much cooler flooring.
Ash slammed the back door shut and backed up to the wall of the adjacent building as shots continued to heat up the store. Flames began lapping out of the top of the building as Teresa and Rick came running over.
"What the hell is going on Ash?"
"The customer didn't want a gift card for their return."
"So you let them blow up the whole store?"
"Listen Ricky-Dicky, I didn't let them do anything. If you want to go up there and do something managerial, then you go right ahead. As for me, I'm heading for the hills to get away from these screwheads.
"I'll come with you." Teresa was more than eager to cling to Ash's side, still reeling from the one kiss they shared. He truly was the king to her.
"Let's go."
---------------
"Alright folks, just calm down. We can still work this out amicably." Rick tried not to let his nerves show as the Arbiter approached.
"There is nothing to work out, puny human. Tell me, where has the warrior I fought before gone?"
"I had to fire him, I can't have him riling up customers and getting my store blown up."
"Where is he now?" The Arbiter stood well above Rick's stature.
"He… said he was going to the hills. I believe there is a cabin up there he likes to visit."
"Show us this place so that we may dispose of this annoyance."
Rick leaned out slightly in order to get a look at the army standing behind the Arbiter.
"Hey, is that your network? Because I can never seem to get service out here."
"The Arbiter gave him a puzzled look and then forced him around."
"Take us to the loudmouthed one."
---------------
"We'll be safe out here." Ash noted as he peeked out the windows of the rustic cabin.
"Oh Ash, thank you for saving me today."
"Nevermind that now, just gimme some sugar baby." The two kissed and shared an embrace. Ash then was disturbed by something he saw lying on the table across the room.
"No, it can't be… Not the damn book again."
Teresa broke her hold and turned around. Across the room was indeed a book, but not one like she had ever seen. Its dark cover was covered with ridges that looked like images, although she couldn't make it out from across the room.
As she started toward it, Ash grabbed Teresa's arm. "Listen, I am not a rules guy, but here is a biggie, do not go near that book. Its not supposed to even be here. I left it in the past when I came back here. That damned book should be in hell."
"I thought you said you went to the past?" Teresa said skeptically
"The past was hell. You should have seen the Neanderthals I had to deal with back there."
Teresa looked back to her hero. "Fine, what do you say we head to the bedroom instead?"
"Groovy."
---------------
"Foolish human, show yourself so that you can meet your doom." The Arbiter's voice bellowed throughout the small cabin as Ash rose from the bed. Teresa grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around her bare body.
Great, how do I get out of this one? How the hell did they fi… Rick…
Ash checked his shotgun, and it was still loaded. His chainsaw also sat beside the bed. He wondered if he would qualify for unemployment if he killed his boss.
But how to fight so many? What to do…
A spark of genius erupted in Ash's brain as he hastily put on his clothes.
"Stay here and get dressed." Ash tossed Teresa her undergarments and she began to put them on.
Racing through the small cabin, Ash snatched the book off of the rotting table.
Now if I can just remember the damn words…
Then Ash realized he didn't need to recite them correctly, he simply needed to read from the book.
"Clatu innasa blako sey mour bute" For a moment nothing happened, but then air began to stir inside and outside of the cabin.
"Let's rock." Ash threw the front door open as the screams of the Evil Dead began to erupt. Something was in the woods, and it wanted the book.
"Hey splitlip, catch!!!" Ash threw the book toward the aliens as hard as he could, and an unaware Grunt made the catch.
That's when all hell broke loose…
To be continued…
Hope you liked it. Leave me some reviews and let me know what you think!
