This is the final Chapter.
Chapter X: Bound in Eternity
"Wow. This place went to hell." Ash mumbled to himself as he stared around at the town that was once Dearborn.
"So we've all noticed." Sheila gasped. The sky was bright red and the giant cloud still touched the tip of the mountain. Deadites had sprouted wings through fast evolution, and they fluttered around the skies, circleing high above the small army. The general on Arthurs left screamed and ran off toward the mountain. From fifty feet up, a deadite divebombed him and shredded the man like paper.
"Okay, lets follow him!" Ash yelled to the rest of the men, about forty in all. They all stood still, looking at him like he was crazy. "Or not..." Sheila slapped him softly on the shoulder, smiling at the attempted joke. "Well, you got it."
"Okay every body! Freeze!" Ash turned around to see..... himself covered in shotguns and ammunition belts and knives and every other weapon that Ash could recognize. "I want to see... wait, one two three.. damn it! I lost count, look if you can all can please just line up!" Evil Ash yelled.
"Well, i don't know about you guys, but this is the second time today I've been beside myself. Buddy, c'mere." He waved his index finger at the clone.
"I've done this before. No way." Evil Ash said, sticking his tounge out at Ash and crossing his arms.
"Fine then. We'll tango your way. Suck Boomstick." Ash said, ramming the chopped off shotgun into Evil Ash's mouth. He pulled the trigger and Evil Ash's head shattered in every direction.
"He was of no use to me!" bommed the voice again behind the army. Ash couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the face of the Necronomicon stare into his own. "Let us finish this now! I grow tired of your antics."
"Come get some." Ash said. As the Army of the dead encircled the two, Arthur and Sheila could only watch in horror as the stand off began. Ash tried to stab him with a chainsaw, but the Necronomicon jumped back. It raised it's hands and Ash was enclosed in a bright light. He was lifeted off the ground. He felt his bone structure move around, growing in his face. His eyes turned smow white and the skin below that turned black and puple. He had had this feeling before. A power that was unknown to most of the world. Death. He felt his feet touch the ground.
"Bow to me, minion."
"Master..." the beast muttered. He couldn't remeber his life, but the feeling that grew inside him was one of rage and fury. He could feel something fighting to break free. His eyes sprouted pupils and Ash lunged at the Necronomicon with a power that even the master couldn't even imagine. Ash's fingers dug into the old rotted flesh of it's neck, spouting hot, black blood. The Necronomicon screeched as it was thrust into a vortex that opened behind it. It shoved it's hand into Ash's head, grabbing Ash's soul and ripping it from his body.
The body went limp and fell to the ground, causing Sheila to scream as she watched her love fall into an abyss with a demon and it's army, still fighting for his life. Then the portal closed. It was over.
She kneeled next to his body and wept for a long time, and even Arthur cried, along with the rest of the army of knights. The cloud lifted itself back into the heavens, and Dearborn was calm and quiet, all traces of the deadites gone. Sheila looked up at the skies, searching for a sign of hope. She watched as a spark of light glinted in the night sky. A star burned for the lost love. Ash's body raised into the air, glittering, the shotgun falling from his dead hand. Tears dissapeared and awe took sadness's place. The vortex opened, and a bright blue light hit Ash's chest like a laser, causing him to jump.
He hit the ground hard, landing on the shotgun, cringing. "God damn!" he yelled. Ash sat up to see every one look at him. It was a split second before Sheila threw herself at him and kissed him for a long time. They sat there kissing for a long time before Arthur finally breathed also. He saw the miricale as a sign of hope. A cheer was raised from the crowd that encircled Ash and Sheila, who continued their buissness.
When they finnaly stopped, Ash lookied at his bride to be with complete happieness. "Groovy."
