Fearsome Four

Chapter 3: Ash

Ash sighed as he helped another customer to Housewares, it had been a while since Ash had fought the evil of the Necronomicon. He swore he would never get involved with anything related to the book ever again, not since his beloved Linda and his hand were possessed by it's evil.

Ash felt a weak, female hand tap him on the shoulder. Ash turned to the woman; a pale Japanese woman in a white dress and really long raven hair "Can I help you ma'am?" She nodded and tugged on the shirt sleeve of the man next her, a well dressed man in a white shirt and black tie, he looked really disinterested "Hello sir, My name is Herbert West, my friend and I were wondering if we could aquire your help?"

Ash gave a chuckle "Sure, but what with?"

Herbert spoke again "My associate-" He turned to see no one standing next to him "That feeble old man..." Ash gazed at Herbert confused "I have a friend that will explain, but he seems to be missing."

For thirty minutes Ash, Kayako, and Herbert searched S-Mart for The TallMan, they had no luck until Kayako saw him with a group of middle to elderly women in the gardening section. Kayako let out a small giggle as she heard him speak, "I am the caretaker of a mortuary, and as caretaker I have to make sure everything looks nice for the grieving families. My best selection I recommend is 'Hewitt family Grass Seed.' It will help your grass grow." The women clapped at his advice.

An elderly woman spoke "What about flowers?"

The TallMan gave a smile "The best remedy for flowers is tender love and care. I personally place rose's and petunia's around the bushes, but that's just me. Now-" He was cut off by a very rude Herbert.

"Ahem! I apologize ladies, but he is done with the advice for now." Herbert said, glaring a The TallMan.

The TallMan glared back, but ultimately agreed "I'm sorry ladies, but my friend is right, I'll talk to you fine specimens later." The TallMan waved to the women as they walked back to their shopping.

"Now, your friend said you wanted some help?" Ash asked The TallMan.

He nodded "Yes, do you know anything about a book known as 'Necronomicon Ex-Mortise' or 'The book of the dead'?" The mention of the Necronomicon sent Ash into a look of shock and fear.

"Where the hell did you hear about that damn book? I swore to never get involved with that BOOK ever again!" Ash yelled to the three. As he began to walk away The TallMan spoke up, "You should consider helping us boy. This effects all of us, and you are the only one to face the evil within it's pages head on and win." Ash stopped walking, and stood there for a few minutes.

Herbert turned to The TallMan "See, I told you it was useless. He won't help us." Ash then turned back to the three, walking up to The TallMan.

"Alright, I'll help, but we'll need my chainsaw." he then gazed at the confused expressions "I'll explain in the car, but for now, let's roll." and the four of them walked out of S-Mart, off to find he Necronomicon and stop whoever was planning to use it.

Well, I'm not dead. but I did move to Chicago to attend college. This is chapter 3 of my epic team tale. For those not aware, this story is somewhat inspired by the Ash story from the game Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogyman.
