Fearsome Four

Chapter 8: Cemetery Re-Animation

The Four finally arrived to Chicago, in hopes to find and stop Candyman, but there was one little problem. None of them knew where he was. Ash drove up to a 7 Eleven. Herbert bolted from his car ride nap, disturbing Kayako as well, "Why are we stopped?" he asked Ash in annoyance.

Ash looked back to Herbert, "We are stopped so we can rest. 7 Eleven's are good places. while we rest up and we can ask someone where the hell we're going." Ash told the pessimistic scientist. Herbert sat back in annoyance, glaring to Ash. Ash got out of the car, "Anyone wanna come with?" He asked. Kayako was the only one to get out of the car, "Alright, what do you guys want."

"Sweet tea." The TallMan said.

"Surprise me." Herbert added.

Ash closed his door along with Kayako and went into the store.

Ash and Kayako entered the store, Kayako looking around at the variety of things it held. He brought Kayako to an isle full of chips, "Alright pick anything you want from the store, I'll handle what Pops wants." Kayako nodded and the two split. As Ash grabbed himself a bag of Doritos, he overheard two men on the other side of him talking.

"Listen Tucker. I don't care, we need a fourth member!" The man said.

"Not a chance Dale. He knocked a woman clear across the head and tried to make love to her!" The other retorted.

Ash popped over to their side of the isle to see two men, one big an burley, and bearded wearing a sleeve less flannel shirt. The other smaller with blond hair and wearing a thermal shirt and overalls. He also noticed a blond woman next to the big bearded man browsing through chips, Ash decided to ask them, "Hello fellas." Ash said to the men.

"Hi." The big guy said.

"Hello." The smaller one said.

"My name's Ash. Can I ask you two gentle men a question?" Ash asked the two.

The big guy nodded, "Sure. My name's Dale." He then patted the smaller man on the back, "And this here's Tucker." Dale introduced. Ash lent his hand for a shake, to which The men accepted.

"I'm with some friends and we wanna know about someone called the 'Candyman'. Know anything?" Ash asked. Tucker and Dale looked to each other a moment, then back to Ash.

"He's an urban myth, if that's what yer lookin fer." Tucker told Ash.

"There was an incident in the 90's where a woman went crazy and started hackin' people to bits, blamin' it all on Candyman. Even sayin he lived underneath Cabrini Green." Dale explained. Ash got a big grin on his face, "But it's been closed since 2011. Yer not gonna get very far." Dale finished. Ash patted Tucker and Dale on the back.

"Thank you gentlemen, you were very helpful." and with that, Ash left the two. He soon regrouped with Kayako, and he was shocked with what he saw, Kayako had a large slurpee. Ash put his hand on his head in shock "I said get something you want, but you're gonna get one hell of a brain freeze!" He commented to her, still with wide eyes. Kayako shrugged his words off, Ash grunted and quickly grabbed a a small slurpee for Herbert and a sweet tea for The TallMan.

Back to the car, Ash and Kayako gave the respected drinks and food to the person. The TallMan took a sip of his tea and sat his head back in bliss, but quickly looked to Ash "Did you find anything?" The TallMan asked.

Ash took a sip of his slurpee, "Yeah. Two men told me that he's underneath some place called 'Cabrini Green' all we need to do is find it and snap the bastard's neck." Ash told The TallMan.

Herbert took his glasses off and wiped them, "With your revolutionary news, there must be some sort of down side isn't there?" Herbert commented to Ash, Ash looked back with annoyance.

"Yeah there is. It's been closed since 2011. Every door and window is most likely gonna be locked, so we are gonna need to break a few windows, or break down come doors. Got it?" Ash told the three.

"Yes." The TallMan said.

Kayako nodded while childishly munching on chips.

Herbert gave a slight shrug, "I guess so. But we'll need something for us to succeed." He said, then took a small drink of his slurpee.

"Yeah, and what's that?" Ash asked.

Herbert put his cut in the holder, "I put a black leather bag in your trunk. In it is a serum that can Re-Animate the dead. We'll need to stop by a cemetery first." Herbert explained. Ash gave looked to The TallMan, who himself raised an eyebrow.

Ash started up the car, "You better not screw us over West." and drove off.

-Cemetery-

The TallMan raised an eyebrow, summoning two Lurkers and Gravers to dig up bodies, Ash looked to The TallMan, who simply looked back to him with a hint of enjoyment.

"Boy I'm glad we're on the same team." Ash commented, causing The TallMan to give a slight chuckle.

As the Graver's dug, a very pale man with white hair popped out of a grave. The man, simply wore a white button up with black pants and suit jacket, he bit into the neck and shoulder of the Graver. The Cemetery Zombie stalked along to see Kayako standing by a Lurker digging up a grave, he lunged at them, snapping the neck of the Lurker, Kayako began wailing her death rattle and jumped on Cemetery Zombie, he quickly threw her to the ground and grabbed her by her left ankle. Kayako gave another rattle and began to crawl away, tugging the Cemetery Zombie with her, as soon as she thought he was low enough, she kicked him with her free leg, jolting him back. He began stalking back, Kayako giving an angry expression, "Oh come one! Stay down!" she yelled at the Cemetery Zombie, he groaned back to her and lunged at her again. She lunged forward at him and the two disappeared.

Back to the group, Herbert was eyeing some of the bodies that her dug up, He gave a disappointed look to the selection. "These bodies aren't fresh! For my serum to work, fresh bodies are required. If they aren't fresh, then they act like wild animals and are uncontrollable." Herbert complained. He looked a body, and sighed "Well this'll do." He pulled a pair of grabber scissors and pulled out an eye. It was then Kayako and the Cemetery Zombie appeared, Kayako pushed him back, making him trip into Herbert.

Herbert looked to the Cemetery Zombie, "Ash! Cut his head off!" Herbert yelled with a big grin on his face. Ash used his chainsaw to chop the head of Cemetery Zombie clean off, Herbert picking it up. "This is glorious! I know have the specimen I need!" Herbert then grabbed a small exo knife and cut three of Cemetery Zombie's finger's off. He sewed the fingers to the eyes.

Herbert walked to a mausoleum and, with the help of Ash and The TallMan, pried the door open, several bats flew out, Herbert grabbing one and setting it down on a casket, cutting it's wings off, he looked to The TallMan "Hand me the head." Herbert asked, The TallMan handed over the head and sewed the wings on, "Now to inject." He pulled out a syringe full of Re-Agent, and injected it into the eye and head, "Now when the time is right. I'll need you two." He slipped the two in his medical bag. Herbert walked out of the mausoleum, "Well Mr. Williams. Let's go."

The Four piled into Ash's car once again, and drove off to find Cabrini Green.
