Claire Bennet walked through her school store for what she figured would be the last and final

time. It would be tomorrow that early morning, her father would wake her and take her, Lyle,

her mom and Mr. Muggles to California to start a new life. She sure was going to miss Odessa,

especially since her school had added a recent addition to the school store. With the Parent's day

coming up, Henderson High School had merged their school store with a real shopping mall called: S-Mart to teach kids about real-life jobs. Her father had taken the decision that even though there wasn't much time to get used to it, it would be a good idea for future jobs.

Claire sighed as she took a handful of boxes and brought them over to the back.

"Hey, Claire." Zach said taking the boxes, "Last day today, huh?"

"Yeah." Claire said gloomy.

"Well," Zach commented with a smile, "Did you hear they're bringing in a real S-Mart worker

today?"

"What's so special about that?" Claire questioned confused.

"Well," Zach said as Claire listened, "I hear this guy who's coming went to some cabin in the

80's. Rumor had it some yokel-yokel had really been messed up when he got there. Big time. Then, it's recently been rumored on his last job, he almost tore the earth to the ground."

OUTSIDE:

Little did Claire and Zach know outside, the 'Guy' had arrived. A musty, beat-up Delta 88 Oldsmobile drove straight into the school parking lot and parked in front of the school. After

the car was shut off, a man exited from the driver's side. He was wearing a bright blue and red uniform with short sleeves and had long blue jeans. His hair was messed up and his chin was humongous. Where his right hand should be, was a cross between a medieval armor hand and a

robot hand. This was Ashley J. Williams. The Chosen One.

"This is what I get paid to do?" Ash asked staring at the school blankly, "Damn. I thought the Deadites were dumb. This has got to work!"

He sighed as he entered the school and made his way back to the school store. There, he was met

with a decent appropriate sized school S-Mart store with thousands of people running around him.

"Ahem." A voice asked.

Ash spun around to see a bald man in a brown suit and a goatee staring at him.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Yeah." Ash answered, "I'm here from the Detroit S-Mart. Ash Williams?"

The man stared at him blankly before realizing what he meant.

"Ah, yes!" He said happily, "Mr. Williams. Welcome to Henderson High School. I'm Mr. Tresses, the principal. Follow me and I'll introduce you to your team."

Ash followed him into a room and was soon met by some teenage kids. There was a girl with blond hair and green eyes, a boy with spiky dark hair, a boy with a mullet haircut and a girl who reminded Ash of his late sister, Cheryl.

"This is Ash Williams, kids." Tresses introduce, "Ash this is our current staff, Claire, Zach, Owen and Jennie. Now kids, Whatever Mr. Williams says, goes. I'll leave you with him for a while."

With that he left Ash in the room with the students. Ash ignored them as he took out a newspaper from his bag.

"So." Jennie said to Ash.

"Hm?" Ash asked looking behind him at her.

"You gonna tell us what an old fart like you is doing so far away from Mama?" Jennie mocked.

Ash looked at the kids seriously.

"Lookie here," Ash said, "The reason I'm here is because I have destiny to do so. There are things in this world you've never dreamed about that will stop at nothing to kill you."

"Yeah, yeah." Owen commented brushing off the warning, "We've seen worse. Especially Claire."

"Oh really?" Ash said looking at him amused to hear something worse than the Necronomicon,

"Like what?"

"Well," Owen said, "About a week ago, Claire here was attacked by a serial killer named Sylar."

"Sylar?!" Ash laughed, "What the hell kind of name is that?!"

"He's not one to be taken lightly with." Owen commented, "He killed another student here by

ripping her head right off. He would have done the same to Claire if her Dad hadn't saved her. But after that, he disappeared."

Ash now burst out laughing hysterically at the tale. This was funnier than when he went insane

back in the cabin. He managed to get himself back together and stare at them seriously.

"That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard, kid." Ash said getting back into his serious tone, "You

want scary? There are things out there known as Deadites that will stop at nothing to make us dead and evil. That's why I'm here. To find the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, The book of the dead,

and finish them off once and for all."

At this, all this kids except for Claire burst out laughing back at him. Claire was so amazed by

what Ash had said. Could there really be evil spirits in the world?

"Laugh it up, hillbillies." Ash said leaving, "And Bush totally faked his elections!"

Claire followed him into the hallway and managed to stop him.

"Ash!" Claire yelled stopping the promised one in his tracks, "Tell me more about these deadites.

And what happened to your hand?"

"It's a long story, kiddo." Ash said sighing, "But I'll make it quick. Years ago, when I was about

your age, I took my best friend, sister, girlfriend and her friend to a cabin in the mountains. It seems an archeologist had come to this remote place to translate his latest discovery: The Necronomicon. Bound in human flesh and inked in blood, this book contained all sorts of demon

and spell crap. Basically, we awoke the evil and they possessed my friends. I stopped them, but it

didn't end there. It got into my hand and it went bad. So I lopped it off at the wrist. The professor's daughter, Annie, came with some spells we used to send the evil back. The girl died

and I got the first class ticket back with the deadites landing in 1300 AD. There I met Henry The

Red and King Arthur and helped lead a battle against the deadites. I also had the benefit of making a new hand for myself here as you can see. We won the battle and they used the book to

send me back here. But the deadites followed me back through time and thus forced me to take

down two of the ugliest sons of bitches god ever created. Jason Voorhees, a deadite possessed hockey killer, and Freddy Kruger, Child molester burned and given the powers to invade dreams.

I defeated the both of them, but the hockey player just made a comeback so, now I'm on a mission to stop them."

"But why are you here?" Claire asked.

"When Hockey Boy returned," Ash said, "I got a page from the book that led me here. It also said

something about a person named: Gabby or Gabriella or whatever... anyway. Rumor has it, the book was buried under one of the house here and I'm here to find out which one."

"Ash..." Claire said trying not to give too much away, "I think I know where the book is..."

"Where?" Ash asked surprised, "Claire, if you know where the book is, you can help me complete my destiny as the chosen one. You can be a hero."

"I think it's at this address..." Claire said writing down her house address on a slip of paper.

She handed it to Ash and he looked at it then at her.

"All right, doll-face." Ash said, "I'm going there right now. Thanks, kiddo."

Ash raced out of the building as Claire followed him cautiously to make sure he didn't know what she was up to.
