Bio:Ash Williams is the unwilling Chosen One against the Deadites, being forced to battle the Necronomicon in the wilderness, civilization, and even across time. In a desperate attempt to finally destroy the cursed book, Ash finds himself instead transported to an entirely different world, one where ninja clans, Special Forces, and Outworld screwheads battle it out with some crazy chick named Kronika causing it all. Well, maybe after this primitive affair is over, Williams will finally be free of the Necronomicon once and for all...

Gauntlet Hand:Medieval Metal, Cyborg Fingers, Doom Fist, etc.
Throws:Ash Williams punches the opponent in the gut with his gauntlet hand before putting his chainsaw hand on and ramming it into their hands covering it and stomach, lifting them up to slam them on the ground behind him. In the towards throw, Ash stomps on the opponent's foot and pulls out his boomstick as he waits for them to look back up as they react in pain, saying "Hey." before blasting them away with both barrels fired in their face.
Signature Moves-
Boomstick:A standard move that has Ash Williams pull out his shotgun and fire it at the opponent, blasting them back if it hits. The amplified version has Ash aim his shotgun over his shoulder while turning away from the opponent and saying "Groovy." to blast their face again as they try to get up for increased damage.
Bloodspatter:A standard move that has Ash Williams place his chainsaw hand on his gauntlet hand and swing at the opponent's side, hacking into it before kicking them away and putting the chainsaw away. The amplified version has Ash spin to slash the opponent's neck with the chainsaw afterwards which makes them stagger back for a brief stun and can be amplified again to have him plunge his chainsaw into their chest afterwards before headbutting them away and groaning as he puts the chainsaw away for massively increased damage.
Not Today:A standard move that has Ash Williams put his gauntlet hand up and if the opponent attacks him with a punch or kick, he will grab the limb and toss them to the ground before grabbing their head and squeezing down hard before a crack is heard and he steps back.
Deadite Hands:A Variation move that has Ash Williams pull out the Necronomicon and say "Klattu Verata-" before coughing and skeletal hands grab the opponent's legs from the ground as he puts away the book, keeping them helpless for a couple moments for follow-up attacks. The amplified version has the skeletal hands drag the opponent down to their belly and start tearing at their face next for increased damage during the stun period.
Little Jerks:A Variation move that has Ash Williams grab the Necronomicon but panic and fling a mini Ash at the opponent that grabs onto their face and starts stabbing it with a nail before they throw it off and he puts the book away. The amplified version has Ash toss the mini Ash down the opponent's mouth with them visibly reacting in pain to stabs in their throat, chest, and stomach before recovering for increased damage.
That Sucked:A Variation move that replaces Ash Williams' standard Not Today and has him open the Necronomicon towards the opponent and a vortex starts pulling any projectiles into it, nullifying them, and drags the opponent closer to him if they're nearby. The amplified version sucks the opponent into the book and has them take damage before getting shot back out with Ash quipping "Not too pleasant, is it?"
Spearmaster:A Variation move that has Ash Williams pull out a spear and stand at the ready with it until another button is pressed or the stance is canceled.
-Back Pain:Ash throws the spear at the opponent so hard that the point comes out their back before they yank it out and he quips "Dead on target." The amplified version has Williams hurl the spear so hard that it pins the opponent to the ground for a couple moments for follow-up attacks.
-Forward March:Ash starts swinging the handle of his spear as he marches forwards, smacking the opponent's face, shoulder, and side if he connects before tossing the spear away, knocking them down if not blocked. The amplified version has Williams keep swinging until he reaches the opponent or the edge of the stage instead of stopping at three swings.
-Gutted:Ash stabs his spear into the opponent's gut, pulling them in to punch them in the face with his gauntlet hand and rip the spear out before tossing it away. The amplified version has Williams jab his spear into the opponent's chest after punching them and drag them behind him before tossing the spear out for increased damage.
This move takes two Variation slots.
Fire!:A Variation move that has Ash Williams raise his gauntlet hand and an arrow tipped with a gunpowder fuse comes down at close, mid, or far distances, exploding after a couple seconds to knock the opponent back and if it connects with them at the start, gets lodged in their chest before blowing up. The amplified version adds two more arrows for a greater chance to hit the opponent at the start and a bigger explosion radius and more damage later.
Army of Darkness:A Variation ability that has Ash Williams open the Necronomicon and a purple energy ball hits the ground at close, mid, or far distances, causing a skeletal Deadite with a sword and shield to start running at the opponent to slash them before falling apart. The Deadite falls apart from any projectile or regular attack but it will not hit Ash. The amplified version gives the Deadite a chestplate that makes it take one more hit before falling apart.
Not a Stone Sword:A Variation ability that has Ash Williams pull out a sword and swing at the opponent's waist, if it connects, he follows up by smashing their face with the pommel and his gauntlet hand before thrusting it into their chest and pulling it out as they topple over. The amplified version has Williams slash the opponent's neck before the chest stab and has him thrust it into their back afterwards for increased damage.
Chestplate:A Variation ability that costs a bar of Ash Williams' defensive meter and has him put on a metal chestplate that can absorb 15% of his health bar of damage or ten seconds have passed before the straps fall off. Ash still gets affected by other effects of moves besides damage and it has a cooldown between uses but negates all damage up to that 15% before falling apart.
Winchester Barrage:A Variation move that replaces Ash Williams' standard Boomstick and has him pull out a carbine and fire a barrage of three shots for less damage but faster speed than the shotgun and can be aimed at aerial or crouching opponents instead if the button is held. The amplified version has Ash fire three more shots at the opponent and can be amplified again for three more shots before he comically runs out of ammo and tosses it away. This move takes two Variation slots.
Saw Plunge:A Variation move that has Ash Williams put his chainsaw hand on in the air and dive downwards, if he hits the opponent, the blade gets stuck in their chest and he slams them down to the ground to follow up by dragging his chainsaw out their gut as he steps back. The amplified version has Ash pull out his boomstick afterwards and blast the opponent's face after slamming them to the ground for increased damage.
Fatal Blow:Listen Up, Screwhead
Ash Williams pulls out a sword and tosses it. If it connects, Ash will put his chainsaw hand on and start delivering a series of slashes across the opponent's torso, their face, and even their legs before pulling out his boomstick aimed towards their face with a grin as they kneel and blasting them on their back. Several skeletal hands come out of the ground and hold the opponent down as two skeleton Deadites come out to stab the opponent's chest with swords before Williams drives his spear into their gut and then drops the Necronomicon on their head, letting it chomp away at their face while slowly readying his gauntlet hand for a massive slug to the book and their face, knocking it off and retrieving it as he steps back while saying "Groovy."

Fatalities-
Guy with the Gun:Ash Williams coughs and accidentally drops the Necronomicon on the ground, the book opening up as skeletal hands reach through the ground to drag the opponent onto their hands and knees as they open their mouth to scream while a Kandarian Demon flies into it. Ash can only say "Just great..." as the opponent gets back up, now clearly a Deadite, and howls while lunging at him only for him to sear their face and tear their lower jaw open with a blast of his shotgun which knocks them on their back.
Williams proceeds to slash their legs, arms, and head off with his revved-up chainsaw before kicking their head away and walking away from it as it cries "You will die!" before he puts his shotgun on his shoulder and fires it without looking at them, blasting the Deadite head apart in slow-motion.
Deathcoaster:Ash Williams pulls out a flaming torch and pressing it against the opponent's face with his mechanical hand, lighting it on fire and burning away the skin as they scream and flail in agony while stumbling back. Ash picks up a spear shortly afterwards and hurls it through the opponent's chest, pinning them to the ground in a still upright position as he walks away while saying "I've got a surprise for you."

Keep It:Ash Williams performs his Gutted move but after punching them in the face, he notices their guts are pulled out on the end of his spear and just quips "On second thought, you can have it." before hurling the spear into their chest.

Like a Grape:Ash Williams performs his Not Today move but after grabbing the opponent's head with his gauntlet hand, he keeps squeezing as their head cracks as they try to stop him before it finally bursts open and their body collapses on the ground as he flicks the blood off his hand with a disgusted grunt.

Ending:(The screen shows the Necronomicon in a ritual circle with Ash Williams trying to destroy it as Deadites try to break into the cabin to save it.)
I had enough of the Necronomicon ruining my life, Deadites popping up every damn time I found something good, getting sent to random places with superhero zombies and other garbage, and even pestering me at my day-job so I decided to destroy the damn book.
(Ash is seen yelling as he gets dragged into another portal with the Necronomicon and lands in front of Shao Kahn's hammer, Scorpion's spear, and D'Vorah behind him.)
Unfortunately for me, the thing sent me with it to an entirely different world, again, and I found myself dealing with guys like a hell ninja, some guy with a hammer calling himself Kahn, and some freaky bug-bitch but worst of all was this psycho-lady Kronika.
(Williams holds the Necronimon up to the Hourglass as he steps over Kronika's body with his chainsaw in her head along with Geras' neck stump still smoking after a boomstick shot and Cetrion's body getting torn apart by Deadites in the background.)
She thought that she could somehow control the Necronomicon and when I tried to tell her that was a bad idea, I had to kill her daughter and enforcer before her, leaving me still with the book and some Hourglass I couldn't understand.
(The Necronomicon leaps from Ash's hands and hurls itself into the Hourglass, changing the sands to a corrupted red as evil cackling is heard and he reacts in shock.)
Before I could react the damn book threw itself at the Hourglass, fusing with it, and resulting in some nightmarish changes to life here but it had one problem. Apparently, my whole bloodline now had a constant vendetta with the Necronomicon and its Deadites, meaning they constantly got screwed over by my great-great-grandpa and so forth which means...
(Several portraits of Williams' ancestors including a spartan, knight, pirate, and ninja are seen behind him fighting Deadites while he poses with his chainsaw and boomstick aimed at a Deadite Frost and Kollector as Kira and Jataaka cling to his legs and he smirks with Sheeva holding him from behind.)
I'm back at square one but hey, I got some new babes and they're calling me Earthrealm's defender now so...Groovy.
Pre-Fight Dialogue-
Vs. Scorpion-
Ash:You better not be some ninja Deadite.
Scorpion:I am a Revenant but not as mindless as Jason Voorhees.
Ash:I'd say, guy couldn't even speak!
Ash:I honestly dig the whole Netherrealm aesthetic.
Scorpion:It is not a wise idea to reside there.
Ash:I'm just a tourist so how about visiting?
Scorpion:Your book can bring back the dead?
Ash:I wouldn't try using it, pal, it's screwed me over more times than I can count.
Scorpion:It must be tamed or destroyed.
Scorpion:Interesting that a common employee can hold his own in the Netherrealm.
Ash:They do call me the chosen one but honestly, I'm just used to crazy stuff like this.
Scorpion:Perhaps you might be a worthy ally against Kronika.
Vs. Sub-Zero-
Ash:Heat, I can handle. Malevolent spirits, sure. But frostbite?!
Sub-Zero:Then leave, Ash Williams.
Ash:I have to get rid of this damn book before that.
Ash:You might have been through more shit than me.
Sub-Zero:I have not had to deal with nearly as many alternate universes as you.
Ash:It's not all bad, I got Red Sonja and Vampirella's numbers.
Sub-Zero:Your Necronomicon is sought after by Bi-Han.
Ash:Not planning on letting your freaky-ass brother have it.

Sub-Zero:Hah, you remind me of Bo' Rai Cho.
Vs. Noob Saibot-
Ash:Ah crap, you're some kinda Deadite, aren't you?
Noob:No but the Necronomicon calls to me still.
Ash:Prepare to lose your head then, asshole.
Ash:Sareena had nothing but praise for you.
Noob:She was a means to an end.
Ash:You really are just saying shit to get a rise out of people...
Noob:The Necronomicon is mine to unleash upon this tainted world.
Ash:The only thing tainted is your horrible body and mind, pal.
Noob:You will join the Deadites, Ash Williams.
Noob:You have survived many encounters against my fellow living dead.
Ash:You assholes have a club?

Ash:I'm not a heartless monster like that clown!
Ash:Love the gauntlets, babe.
Jacqui:You always talk to women like you want to sleep with them?
Ash:...Yeah, that is a problem.
Jacqui:Pretty ingenious for a horndog working minimum wage.
Ash:Thanks for the backhanded compliment.
Jacqui:At least your ego isn't that easily bruised.
Jacqui:Chainsaw hand's just impractical.
Ash:It comes in handy.
Jacqui:Good luck cleaning up the blood and gore afterwards.
Vs. Baraka-
Ash:I have had enough of people trying to eat me!
Baraka:I will suceed in devouring you.
Ash:The only thing you're eating is my Remington classic or chainsaw hand.
Ash:Man, if only you had the excuse of being a Deadite for that mug...
Baraka:Your corpse will be stripped to the bone.
Ash:Maybe not a good idea to antagonize the cannibalistic primitive.
Baraka:Your Necronomicon is made of human flesh?
Ash:Don't tell me you're actually planning on eating it, even those costumed freaks didn't do that.
Baraka:It can be cooked or I will find a way to cook it.
Baraka:Are you only missing your arm?
Ash:Yeah, no. I'm not winding up a cannibal buffet.
Baraka:All who fall to a Tarkatan are just meat.
Vs. Raiden-
Ash:Huh, kinda strange to see a god after all of this Deadite stuff...
Raiden:I am an ally, Ashley J. Williams.
Ash:Yeah, sure, got a way to destroy this damn book?
Ash:Not a big fan of lightning.
Raiden:Mine will not harm you if you seek to protect Earthrealm as well.
Ash:Last time, I got fried on a cross.
Raiden:The Deadites are a plague on Earthrealm.
Ash:Yeah, no kidding.
Raiden:Let us work together to end the Necronomicon.
Raiden:You are a worthy protector of Earthrealm.
Ash:Can't I just have a normal life?
Raiden:Your talents would be wasted there.
Vs. Johnny Cage-
Ash:Finally, a guy who can appreciate my humor.
Johnny:I'm not just another bonehead.
Ash:Hopefully not ever, pal.
Ash:Please tell me you're not Freddy in disguise or something.
Johnny:Do I look like I wear striped sweaters and fedoras?
Ash:Probably not.
Johnny:You went toe-to-toe with Jason and survived?
Ash:Pal, it'd be easier to list who I didn't fight before.

Johnny:You're big on crossovers too?
Ash:Unwittingly but yeah, I've met Xena, Herbert West, and a bunch of other people.
Johnny:Got any of their numbers?
Vs. Jax Briggs-
Ash:I know how much it sucks to die and come back.
Jax:Revenants, Deadites, how much of this shit is there?

Ash:Nice boomstick.
Jax:It's not just a shotgun.
Ash:Explosives are fine too.
Jax:You survived a lot of weird shit for a regular guy.

Ash:I love babes that are more down to Earth.
Sonya:Surprised you're not hitting on me like Johnny.
Ash:Last time I did, I fucked up true love.
Ash:Are these Revenants related to Deadites by any chance?
Sonya:They're both undead assholes so possibly.
Ash:Well, that's just great, isn't it?
Sonya:What makes you think the Necronomicon is safer with you than the Special Forces?
Ash:I've got more experience with it.
Sonya:History of disasters more like it.
Sonya:How many undead asshole versions of our comrades can we have?!
Ash:You don't want to know about the zombie Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Hulk then.
Sonya:It just keeps getting better and better...
Vs. Cassie Cage-
Ash:How did a kid get to be in charge of the Special Forces?
Cassie:Dude, I'm more qualified than some looney dude with a chainsaw hand to save the world.
Ash:I wish that were true!
Ash:Talk about screen addiction.
Cassie:Does S-Mart even sell phones?
Ash:We only just got portable ones in.
Cassie:Sorry if I get weirded out by chainsaws now.
Ash:Traumatic experience?
Cassie:Yeah, Leatherface trying to make me his bride.
Cassie:How were you planning to go back to work with a chainsaw hand?
Ash:Excellent question, I guess it's fortunate I got this gauntlet hand too.
Cassie:Well, you do look like you belong in the Dark Ages.
Vs. Kano-
Ash:How is it possible to be even creepier than Freddy Krueger's charred degenerate ass?
Kano:Mate, I'm a lot more charming.
Ash:You have all the charm of the Deadite in the Pit.
Ash:Somehow, I think being possessed by a Deadite would make you less evil.
Kano:I only look out for myself, how is that wrong?
Ash:I don't have the time to explain so I'll just hack you up like one.
Kano:That Book of the Dead is highly prized by some Black Market buyers.
Ash:You're not getting it scumbag.
Kano:You're not going to have a pulse for long.
Kano:Lots of interesting tools you got for a cog in the machine.
Ash:At least I can sleep at night knowing that I'm not a complete monster.
Kano:So can I.
Vs. Jade-
Ash:I love a babe who can kick my ass.
Jade:You do know I am betrothed to Kotal, right?
Ash:Menage a trois is a thing, you know.
Ash:Pole's a weird weapon but you make it work.
Jade:I would find a chainsaw hand inconvenient but you seem to enjoy it.
Ash:Fair point, babe.
Jade:I do respect you but I don't think Kotal would want to experiment.
Ash:Not even going to ask him?
Jade:Maybe if you impress me.
Jade:I can't believe there's a Revenant version of myself.
Ash:Could be worse, they could literally call themselves Bad Ash.
Jade:That is unfortunate indeed.
Vs. Kabal-
Ash:I think that getting charbroiled was the sign you were supposed to give up on crime.
Kabal:Yeah, I'd fix this shit on an S-Mart employee budget.
Ash:You'd be surprised.
Ash:Please tell me you're not some super-fast Deadite.
Kabal:Do I look like a fucking ghoul?
Ash:Uh...probably shouldn't answer that.
Kabal:That Necronomicon's a problem.
Ash:Don't tell me you want it too.
Kabal:Kano does but I'll be damned if I let that happen, just torch the damn thing.
Kabal:Pretty ingenious for a guy working a salary job.
Ash:And all you could afford with your black market gig was fancy swords?
Kabal:Not just about the equipment, Ash, I've got speed too.
Vs. Kung Lao-
Ash:This honestly doesn't even seem right.
Kung:What? Afraid you will be utterly humiliated by the Great Kung Lao?
Ash:No, that I'll put your career even further into the toilet.
Ash:I'll put you out of your misery soon enough.
Kung:It is you who will die to ensure the Necronomicon belongs to the Netherrealm.
Ash:Even as a Revenant, your lines suck.
Kung:You have to be kidding me, a supermarket employee?!
Ash:With your track record, I wouldn't be boasting about anything.
Kung:Time to prove I'm your superior.
Kung:The Necronomicon is key to Liu Kang's plans.
Ash:Nice to know even he thinks you're disposable as a Revenant.
Kung:I will have your head for that!
Vs. Liu Kang-
Ash:Warrior monks are another new thing for me.
Liu:I will aid you, Ash Williams.
Ash:Let's hope you don't wind up a Revenant too.
Ash:Last I heard, Jason gave you a bad time.
Liu:The Necronomicon alligns with my goals.
Ash:More like it'll use you until it gets bored and disposes of you.
Liu:I wish Kung Lao took more after you.
Ash:Why's that? Even though it sounds like a compliment...
Liu:You actually can back up your boasts with skill and surprising humility.
Liu:The Netherrealm will be unstoppable with the Necronomicon.
Ash:It'll use you too, everything is just a pawn to it.
Liu:I will prove I am its equal.
Vs. Kitana-
Ash:Fans now?
Kitana:I would think you are very accepting of unusual weapons, Ash.
Ash:Chainsaw and boomstick make a lot more sense than something used to cool off.
Ash:She-Bitch of the Netherrealm, great.
Kitana:You will regret the day you were born.
Ash:Trust me, I do, Revenant-Bitch.
Kitana:Could your Necronomicon help return our Revenant versions to normal?
Ash:Babe, it can only get worse with that involved.
Kitana:Then Outworld will help destroy it.
Kitana:The Empress of the Netherrealm demands you hand over the book.
Ash:Sorry, She-Bitch, I don't negotiate with undead freaks.
Kitana:Your bones will decorate Shinnok's Temple.
Vs. Skarlet-
Ash:Not too big on babes who will suck me dry of blood.
Skarlet:I do not need your permission to do so.
Ash:Consent is another serious problem with you, huh?
Ash:What kinda weird sorcery made you?
Skarlet:The rumors of me being a blood creation were only scare-tactics.
Ash:Why's the book going nuts then?
Skarlet:Shao Kahn wants the Necronomicon to ressurect his army.
Ash:Not a great idea at all, babe.
Skarlet:A soon-to-be corpse has no input in Outworld's future.
Skarlet:You seem to love spilling blood.
Ash:Just an unfortunate fact of life when you have to hack apart Deadites.
Skarlet:I wonder how yours tastes...
Vs. Kotal Kahn-
Ash:Jeez, you Outworld people are a bunch of screwheads.
Kotal:You will pay dearly for your disrespect.
Ash:Aztecs fell a couple centuries ago, pal.
Ash:So you're Jade's man?
Kotal:I do not appreciate your leering at her.
Ash:She's just my type and have you ever heard of something called menage a trois?
Kotal:The Necronomicon is an abomination.
Ash:So you don't want it like the rest of these Outworld screwheads?
Kotal:I want it destroyed.
Kotal:I only have eyes for Jade.
Ash:I can't even count how many girls I lost to the damn book.
Kotal:Perhaps I judged you too harshly.
Vs. Erron Black-
Ash:Did I get sent back to the Old West?
Erron:No but your luck's still run out.
Ash:Not against the world's weirdest hipster.
Ash:I like the classics too but that's too much.
Erron:Don't need full-auto to kill a man.
Ash:I fight Deadites with this stuff, you're a hitman in the twenty-first century with this.
Erron:Lots of people want that book of yours.
Ash:You have no idea the trouble it can cause.
Erron:Now you've peaked my interest.
Erron:Nice to know you can appreciate classics as well.
Ash:How do you even kill anybody nowadays with those?
Erron:Want a live demonstration?
Vs. D'Vorah-
Ash:Bug Bitches now?!
D'Vorah:Your insults mean nothing to this one.
Ash:I wish everything about you didn't either but you freak me out more than a Deadite!
Ash:Certainly not what I wanted to see today.
D'Vorah:Afraid of the hive?
Ash:No, I always avoided getting into pest control so I didn't get disgusted having to kill so many bugs.
D'Vorah:Your body still has signs of Deadite possession.
Ash:I don't like the way you're looking at me, Bug-Bitch.
D'Vorah:You will serve the hive well as a corpse.
D'Vorah:Your book could be a useful weapon against the vertebrates.
Ash:Honestly, almost tempted to give it to you so you can screw your entire species over but then I'll have to kill Deadite Bugs!
D'Vorah:This one will not fall victim to such things.
Vs. Shao Kahn-
Ash:You're a real barbarian, aren't you?
Shao:I am far more qualified to rule than you.
Ash:I meant it as a compliment, Red Sonja or Xena would probably love to chop your head off. Maybe it can be a gift?
Ash:You cannot be thinking you can control the Necronomicon.
Shao:It will bend to my will like any Earthrealmer magic.
Ash:You're definitely the type to bring disaster on yourself.
Shao:You appreciate having many concubines as well.
Ash:Hey, my babes matter to me more than that!
Shao:Only Sindel has earned the right to call me hers.
Shao:My armies might be dead but the Necronomicon can bring them back stronger.
Ash:Yeah, and you'll probably get possessed too.
Shao:Foolish Earthrealmer, I don't fall to pathetic demons.
Vs. Frost-
Ash:I know I swapped my hand out for a chainsaw but did you really need to replace everything?!
Frost:The weakness of my flesh disgusted me.
Ash:Because being a cyborg is SO much better...
Ash:You're two-to-zero on bad choices.
Frost:You don't know how to use the Necronomicon.
Ash:I know well enough to not want to use it.
Frost:Maybe I'll keep the chainsaw hand for your Cyber-Ninja body.
Ash:I like to keep myself mostly flesh and bone, Ice Queen.
Frost:You don't have a choice.
Frost:The Necronomicon is exactly what I need for the next step of my plan.
Ash:To ruin your life even more?
Frost:You don't understand power.
Vs. Geras-
Ash:Don't tell me, the crazy time lady thinks she can use the Necronomicon to further goals, yadda, yadda...
Geras:It is a mere plaything to her.
Ash:She sounds like Herbert West's deranged ass.
Ash:Why do you remind me of Michael?
Geras:We are both mistreated by our creator.
Ash:So why the hell do you keep working for her?!
Geras:The Necronomicon can make Shinnok stronger than ever before.
Ash:Yeah, that's the worst idea I've ever had.
Geras:You will hand over the book.
Geras:You have traveled through many ages just as I have.
Ash:Trust me, I didn't want any of it.
Geras:Destiny always finds its chosen ones.
Vs. Kollector-
Ash:Man, I think I'd rather see a Deadite than you.
Kollector:They are quite valuable to Shao Kahn.
Ash:Might as well just dismember you now...
Ash:You better not be thinking of using me for weird sex things.
Kollector:You made a champion before.
Ash:Oh God damn it, you are!
Kollector:That mechanical hand looks quite pricey.
Ash:I just made do with what I had.
Kollector:I will take it from you.
Kollector:The Book of the Dead can make an undying army to conquer Earthrealm.
Ash:Something tells me you've got worse plans than that.
Kollector:The possibilities are endless...
Vs. Cetrion-
Ash:You actually look like a decent babe as opposed to your mother.
Cetrion:Kronika only wants to fix the timeline, Ash, and she needs the Necronomicon to do it.
Ash:No dice on that trade, babe.
Ash:Is your brother like your evil twin or something?
Cetrion:Perhaps in a way, it is similar to your relationship with the General.
Ash:Yeah, but I don't miss that fucker after having killed him for good.
Cetrion:The Necronomicon has caused enough pain and misery in hands that cannot tame it.
Ash:I don't think anyone can, it needs to be destroyed.
Cetrion:Have faith in Kronika.
Cetrion:You should trust mother with your book.
Ash:I know her type, megalomaniac with an ego that thinks she can control the book.
Cetrion:She is far more than a common maniac like Herbert West or Dracula.
Vs. Shang Tsung-
Ash:You'd be a Deadite's best friend.
Shang:I have consumed several including a version of Linda's soul.
Ash:Alright, you're just asking for it!
Ash:Killing you's not going to make me a murderer.
Shang:I am still human, Ash Williams.
Ash:As far as I'm concerned, you're no better than a Deadite.
Shang:Another chosen one's soul to savor.
Ash:The only thing you'll be savoring is buckshot and sawblades.
Shang:This should be amusing at least.
Shang:The Necronomicon has evaded me for many years.
Ash:Great, another evil sorceror who wants it.
Shang:I will consume the book's soul.
Vs. Nightwolf-
Ash:I've never been one for spiritual matters but has Linda passed on to a better place?
Nightwolf:The Deadites' taunts are merely to unnerve you.
Ash:Thank God for that.
Ash:Did I go back to the colonial days?
Nightwolf:No, you have entered yet another world.
Ash:This always happens...
Nightwolf:Your quest to destroy the Necronomicon is noble.
Ash:Thanks, Spirit-Guide or...
Nightwolf:You may call me that or Nightwolf.
Nightwolf:We both have a evil counterpart that lives to cause us misery.
Ash:Yours is still kicking?
Nightwolf:Yes but together we can put all the Revenants to rest.
Vs. The Terminator-
Ash:Time-traveling death machines now?
Terminator:You are familiar with SkyNet?
Ash:Yeah but I sure wish I wasn't.
Ash:That endoskeleton is a pain in the ass to get through.
Terminator:Your flesh and bone are easy for me to puncture.
Ash:Still have a kill count of at least twenty of you literal screwheads...
Terminator:The Necronomicon is SkyNet's newest target.
Ash:I don't think machines can get possessed by Deadites but still not letting you use it.
Terminator:You will be terminated long before that.
Terminator:Your shotgun will be a useful addition to my arsenal.
Ash:Hands off, screwhead, this classic is mine.
Terminator:I will pry it out of your cold, dead hands.
Vs. Sindel-
Ash:If you weren't complete evil, I might-
Sindel:Why should that stop you?
Ash:Because unlike you, Queen-Bitch, I have a moral compass.
Ash:Hair against a chainsaw? Are you serious?
Sindel:Let's see how it fares against my banshee scream.
Ash:Sure as hell not what I like from a woman screaming, that's for damn sure.
Sindel:Give me the book and in return-
Ash:You're not tricking me into dooming the human race over some tail.
Sindel:Then you can die so I can have it.
Sindel:You call yourself a king?
Ash:I definitely don't want a queen like you.
Sindel:You're far more of a man than Jerrod.
Vs. The Joker-
Ash:Somehow, I think your body-count's higher than Freddy, Jason, and the General combined.
Joker:Those are rookie numbers!
Ash:Don't say I never did anything good after blowing your head off, stupid grin and all.
Ash:Is Gotham some kind of Deadite hotspot or what?
Joker:Not yet but that'd sure put me over Ra's once and for all!
Ash:Yeah, I won't feel bad about killing you even if you are human.
Joker:I like a man who knows improv!
Ash:How about I make you lose your head, you freakish clown?
Joker:Oh, you'll be begging for the Deadites again when I'm done!
Joker:Most zombies in Gotham are so boring like Ivy's goons or those overrated Talons...
Ash:I don't like where you're going with this...
Joker:The Necronomicon is just what's needed to add some spice!
Vs. Spawn-
Ash:Oh great, now the book's evolving its Deadites!
Spawn:I'm no Deadite, just a Hellspawn looking to collect your debt.
Ash:Is there even a difference?
Ash:Listen, pal, we're both on the same side.
Spawn:Wherever you go, the Necronomicon's trail of death and destruction follows.
Ash:That's why I want to destroy it!
Spawn:Too many innocents in Hell screaming for your blood, asshole.
Ash:Pal, you're getting tricked by Deadites.
Spawn:I know a lie when I hear one.
Spawn:The Necronomicon can be destroyed...
Ash:Well, that's good news.
Spawn:If you throw yourself into the fires of Hell with it.
Vs. Robocop-
Ash:I'm telling you, everyone I killed was a Deadite or other supernatural asshole!
Robocop:The jury will decide if you are truly insane.
Ash:This is why you don't make screwheads cops!
Ash:Just what I needed today...
Robocop:Ash Williams, you are under arrest for mass murder.
Ash:Do none of you cops believe me?!
Robocop:There is no such thing as cursed books or possession.
Ash:Yeah, I thought so too but look at me now.
Robocop:You are clearly mentally unwell.
Robocop:Come quietly and you will have a fair trial.
Ash:The Necronomicon can't be dealt with by the US legal system, are you nuts?
Robocop:You just might be.
Vs. Sheeva-
Ash:Honestly, not a bad-looking babe for Screwhead central.
Sheeva:You remind me of my mate...
Ash:Wait, that one portal was here?!
Ash:You're telling me you have four kids and they're all mine?
Sheeva:Do you not remember our night in Sydney together?
Ash:From a one-night stand?!
Sheeva:Our children need a father to look up to.
Ash:Yeah, that's fair, we need to deal with this damn book first though.
Sheeva:I would go through the Netherrealm for you.
Sheeva:No other man has wooed me like you.
Ash:That certainly was an interesting night.
Sheeva:You will be my king.
Vs. Fujin-
Ash:Good god or bad god?
Fujin:I am your friend, Ash Williams.
Ash:Guess that settles it.
Ash:Wind isn't exactly the scariest power, pal.
Fujin:I think you will find me a powerful ally against the Necronomicon.
Ash:For all our sakes, I hope so.
Fujin:You have committed yourself to destroying the book.
Ash:It's done enough damage.
Fujin:I will aid your noble cause.
Fujin:The Necronomicon is not indestructible.
Ash:What'll it take to get rid of it?
Fujin:That depends on your choices, Ash Williams.
Vs. Rambo-
Ash:You look like Deadites ruined your day too.
Rambo:Vietnam but it certainly felt like Hell.
Ash:Life put us both through the wringer, huh?
Ash:Please tell me you actually believe me...
Rambo:I know what it's like to have an impossible tale.
Ash:Maybe I can get you an S-Mart deal next.
Rambo:That Necronomicon is a whole new world of pain.
Ash:That's not even the half of it.
Rambo:Think it'll burn?
Rambo:Damn, you're a civilian and you look just as miserable as me.
Ash:Dealing with the Necronomicon for twenty-plus years will do that to you.
Rambo:Couldn't find anything to destroy it yet?
Vs. Mileena-
Ash:Sorry, babe, you remind me of a Deadite version of the new Kahn.
Mileena:Serve me and I'll prove how much better I am to her.
Ash:No thanks, I like having my equipment intact.
Ash:Jeez, did fan-babe give you that jawline?
Mileena:No, Shang Tsung did.
Ash:Why do you hate her so much then?
Mileena:I don't like your evil version.
Ash:I thought you two would make a good couple.
Mileena:We'd make a perfect one.
Mileena:I don't care for the Necronomicon like my father.
Ash:Well, that's a start.
Mileena:Outworld has no need for petty dark magic.
Vs. Rain-
Ash:Not looking forward to cleaning water out of my boomstick and hand.
Rain:There are far worse things I can do.
Ash:Give me a soggy bottom?
Ash:You remind me of King Arthur.
Rain:Perhaps you are worth keeping.
Ash:You're both self-righteous screwheads who have little regard for others.
Rain:Join me and I'll reward you handsomely, Ash Williams.
Ash:No thanks, I already can't stand you.
Rain:You will pay for this insult with your life.
Rain:You call yourself a king?!
Ash:I'm more worthy of the title than you.
Rain:You will regret that.
Vs. Ash Williams-
Ash:I'm getting tired of this good Ash, bad Ash thing.
Ash:I'm getting tired of getting killed!
Ash:Then just stay dead!
Ash:There are other versions of me?
Ash:I just killed a zombie duck!
Ash:Would have sucked if it killed you.
Ash:I finally got my good looks back.
Ash:Your old look suited you better.
Ash:Now it's your turn to be a dismembered corpse!
Ash:I just avoided becoming zombie Dr. Doom's lunch!
Ash:I snagged his glove.
Ash:Lucky you, I'm just glad I still have my pretty face intact.
Vs. Sareena-
Ash:Any chance of us becoming a thing?
Sareena:Did you hit your head again?
Ash:Ouch, demon babes cut the deepest.
Ash:I prefer you to any old Deadite as far as demons go.
Sareena:You haven't seen my demon side yet.
Ash:How bad could it be?
Vs. Smoke-
Ash:You're Sareena's best bud?
Smoke:I can't see you two ever happening.
Ash:I didn't see meeting a smoke ninja happening either.
Ash:Don't tell me there's been a way to recover Deadites this whole time.
Smoke:Even if there was, how could you know how to revert the process?
Ash:You're surprisingly decent for a Revenant.
Vs. Reptile-
Ash:I don't like vomit all over my clothes.
Reptile:I'd prefer the acid melting you down to the bone.
Ash:Keep your Exorcist auditions to yourself.
Ash:Real clever name.
Reptile:All my subtlety is saved for my missions.
Ash:You already blew this one.
Vs. Akuma-
Ash:Why me? I'm just S-Mart's Employee of the Month!
Akuma:You are the Chosen One against the Deadites.
Ash:You demons get together or something?!
Ash:Yeah, I thought I left this shit behind with the Marvel Zombies.
Akuma:A worthy source of opponents.
Ash:What?! You were there too?!
Vs. Stryker-
Ash:Listen, I don't think a cop can help with the Necronomicon...
Stryker:You think I didn't deal with crazier things in Outworld?
Ash:Maybe but you've been away from that for how long now?
Ash:Only one of us can be the funny-man here.
Stryker:How am I funny to you?
Ash:Oh...it's unintentional...
Vs. Nitara-
Ash:Honestly, a vampire-babe doesn't sound too bad at first...
Nitara:So why not try it?
Ash:Because I prefer keeping my blood in me.
Ash:Gotta say, I dig your style.
Nitara:You might not dress like it but your features are fit for a king.
Ash:Why thank you, gonna feel bad staking you now.
Vs. Venom-
Ash:How the hell do I tell if you're a zombie or not?
Venom:We're here to eat your brains.
Ash:And that shit's why!
Ash:You want to help, help me get rid of these Deadites infesting the Realms.
Venom:Your death will end this madness.
Ash:No, only destroying this damn book will.
Vs. Ferra/Torr-
Ash:I really don't even know what to say about this.
Ferra:Saw-Hand intimidated!
Ash:No, just completely baffled by whatever the hell this is supposed to be.
Ash:Is this another reason not to use the Necronomicon?
Ferra:Necro-what?
Ash:Well, at least they're not Deadites...
Vs. Rena Ryuugu-
Ash:You look like you've seen too much shit, just like me.
Rena:I'll keep going until I'm dead or Miyo is.
Ash:That's just unhealthy, let's talk it out over a burger and fries.
Ash:Trust me, Linda wasn't herself anymore.
Rena:Keiichi-kun and the others have been long dead.
Ash:How the hell does that make using the Necronomicon any better?!
Vs. Chris Walker-
Ash:You are one ugly Deadite.
Chris:I'm still human, asshole.
Ash:Oh crap, sorry, didn't know you ran into Herbert West too.
Ash:Murkoff wants the Necronomicon bad.
Chris:I'll end your pain and keep it from them.
Ash:Don't like the sound of that, bloodspattered big guy...
Vs. Springtrap-
Ash:You and Krueger were probably best friends in school.
Springtrap:Freddy's methods are interesting but I have my own.
Ash:You child-murdering freak, I was insulting you!
Ash:You know, that look's karma biting you right in the ass.
Springtrap:How? I've never felt more alive.
Ash:To start, you smell like roadkill mixed with gasoline.
Vs. Li Mei-
Ash:I thought Outworld police babes would look a lot worse.
Mei:Babe is how you refer to any woman?
Ash:Just the ones I have an interest in.
Ash:You're not secretly working for some Kahn that wants the Necronomicon, are you?
Mei:What, I look like Onaga's mistress?
Ash:That's oddly specific.
Vs. Kenshi-
Ash:Yeah, I've seen this one before.
Kenshi:I am not a mindless savage.
Ash:I'm afraid that you're a cunning one.
Ash:How many demons are in that dried-up husk?
Kenshi:You birthed one.
Ash:And I killed him.
Vs. Shredder-
Ash:How do you even go about your day without bleeding out?
Shredder:I can remove my blades like your chainsaw.
Ash:Huh, makes sense.
Ash:Who calls their ninja clan the Foot?
Shredder:The Hand are our archenemies.
Ash:How many damn multiverse-hoppers do we have here?!
Vs. Kung Jin-
Ash:Okay, I have to be back in Arthur's time.
Jin:My bow's a modern design.
Ash:Nothing modern about using that in the twenty-first century.
Ash:Just so you know, I don't swing that way.
Jin:What made you think I was into guys as ancient as Elvis?
Ash:Now that was just uncalled for! The King is timeless!
Vs. Havik-
Ash:Not you again...
Havik:I am not the General but he gave me ideas for the Necronomicon.
Ash:How about you wind up a talking head too?
Ash:I'm used to fucks like you being a pain in the ass to kill.
Havik:Foul mouth there.
Ash:You try dealing with Deadites for as long as you can possibly recall after one trip to a cabin!
