The Hunt Begins (Dark Data)

[Ash Williams]

"Hey, Tinman! What about you worried about the man who's your daddy here!" yelled Ash across the room getting their nemesis's attention.

Celestia ran over to Revan to aid him after getting tossed aside from Dr. Psyche. The doctor chuckled at the sight of Ash who stood confidently with his shotgun aimed in one hand and his chainsaw limb raised.

"You really aren't concerned what I just injected you with. I will give you credit human, you do show no fear unlike my other subjects I worked when I became their worst nightmares," Dr. Psyche said shoving his robotic hands in the laser holsters and began charging his next attack.

Ash suddenly dashed to avoid the deadly heavily charged laser beam. The doctor follows Ash with his laser beam all over the room until his weapon was almost completely drained with energy. After Dr. Psyche finished his attack, he started making his way toward the evil dead slayer while taking his time. Ash reloaded his shotgun while taking cover behind a chemical countertop. The Darkshire defender made his next move getting out of cover and fired off his two shots at the robotic mad scientist. A countering movement was made by Dr. Psyche by jumping off the ground with a great height then dropped down to land on Ash's spot.

He stepped back quickly to avoid being crushed by the metallic body of the doctor. Ash holstered his gun and revved his chainsaw loudly.

His chainsaw swung with great force, but Dr. Psyche ducked under to evade the attack. While ducked, the robot drew his energy knife and did a quick stab on Ash's leg. The great burning pain was felt in Ash's leg making him want to fall but stood his ground. Blood began to pour out of the deep wound. Ash followed up with another swing but grazed the doctor a bit with sparks flying with the fast-rotating blade making contact with the metallic surface. Black oil began to slowly spill out the cut opened shoulder. The doctor ignored the cut he just received and swung his knife swiftly at his foe.

Ash used his chainsaw to deflect some of the attacks from Dr. Psyche. He noticed in the background that Celestia was still trying to take care of Revan which was fine for him since he didn't want to lose another party member. His focus moved back to the Nebula leader in front of him that was trying to kill him. They moved back and forth in the room trading attacks. Sweat glistened on Ash's forehead from how fast he's been moving to defend against from many stabs.

"Impressive Liberator, you've actually done better than your other ally, but could you handle my potent chemical that I just made recently. The symptoms should be kicking in right about now just from how much your body has been active. Making easier to flow through your entire body system." Dr. Psyche stated standing still waiting to see what will happen to Ash next.

Ash's vision suddenly started warping with psychedelic colors filling anything in the room.

"W-whoa. I feel like I'm on an acid trip," Ash ushered from the chemicals kicking in.

"Let me ask you something liberator, do you feel better?" Dr. Psyche questioned with a maniacal laughter while Ash swayed side to side as it looks like he's drunk.

"This is some heavy stuff dude," Ash said in a very high state with everyone in the room start shapeshifting into weird humanoids and animals.

Nobody couldn't see what Ash was seeing but suddenly he blacks out from the fight. After a couple of seconds of shutting his eyes, he awoke in the middle of an autumn forest. Some trees lost their leaves while others were changing colors. Ash looked down at his leg and seen there was no stab wound. Confusion filled his head how he got here in the first place. The evil dead slayer walked deeper into the forest to find a way out of here. The air was cool enough to feel like fall while dead leaves covered the ground everywhere. It was the late afternoon with the sun slowly setting as of right now while Ash hiked through the forest.

After walking what it felt for a long time, Ash eventually ended up finding something. An old small cabin sat in the middle of the woods which looked like no one hasn't lived there for a while. After seeing the cabin, memories flood his mind from that night what happened to him and his girlfriend. He could remember every second of that incident from killing his own possessed girl to being caught in that wormhole they created to banish evil. Ash immediately wanted to leave this place, but the sun started to set, and he could hear something moving through the woods.

The wind blew gently through the trees with gust sound calling out his name.

"Oh no, the Omniverse is way better than this place," Ash said walking away from the cabin but came face to the evil that he accidentally unleashed that night.

Suddenly, Ash started hightailing to the cabin for a shelter from the evil, but that source of evil followed him quickly toward cabin violently. He couldn't outrun that evil spirit with his heavy chainsaw limb attached to him. The evil through him across the cabin and out into the forest again but didn't stop there. Ash flew through the forest screaming for mercy and hit multiple tree branches in the process. He was airborne for about five minutes until that evil spirit slammed him hard into the forest floor. The evil dead slayer laid on the ground for a minute feeling pain throughout his body.

Underneath him, the earth began to crack all around his body for about a couple of seconds. He realized that the dirt started to feel warm and too hot for the normal temperature. Suddenly, the ground gave in then swallowed Ash into what seemed to be hell. He was freefalling into this hellish dimension with demonic entities surrounding him and tortured to poor trapped souls of Satan's home. Ash screamed while falling toward his fate which was a deadly spiked floor with corpses pierced through the spikes.

Meanwhile back to reality, Ash stood there drugged out while Dr. Psyche appreciated his victorious moment. Celestia was aiding Revan from his brutal wounds he received minutes ago.

"You're in a very bad shape, don't be too hard on yourself," Celestia stated while Revan used her main body as a resting spot to help get himself on his feet.

"I have no choice Celestia, I rather die to attempt to destroy that fiend rather than letting him strike me down then probably use me as one of his vile experiments," Revan responded, finally standing back up with his sword in one hand while his other pressed from Celestia.

They locked their eyes on the scene of the drug-induced Ash and Dr. Psyche. The doctor slashed Ash across his stomach to cause blood pouring out. From the attack, Ash Williams fell to the ground in shock then squirmed around in pain. Screaming was coming from his mouth from the pain and drug side effects making him think he's trapped in hell defenseless. Before Dr. Psyche was going to drive his energy knife into Ash's skull, Celestia a thin ray of heat at Dr. Psyche catching him off guard. He turned around to see the other two Liberators standing there ready for another round.

"You foul primes just don't know when to give up. This time, I'll make sure all of you will die for good and save your remains for my next experiments." Dr. Psyche growled in his heartless robotic voice then charged forth at Celestia and Revan.

Back to Ash's mind, he ran through the catacombs of hell to find a way out while demons were hunting him down. He ended up in a dead end and was cornered by the hellish creatures. Their eyes were blood red and sinister expressions filled their faces. They slowly move toward the trapped human who was weaponless. Ash digs around his pockets to find his orb of omnilium but found nothing to defend himself with.
Something clicked in his head instead and that was realizing everything was made up of from his drugged imagination.

"You guys are just baloney!" Ash yelled at the approaching demons which they shriek in pain as they dissolved into nothing.

Ash's face was filled with relief and a cocky smile as everything around him disappeared. He thinks of his happy place as he closed his eyes shut than open them to realize he was on a beach in Jacksonville, Florida. The evil dead slayer sat in a beach chair with a can of beer in his hands and wore a vacation Hawaiian shirt. Ash drank his beer as he enjoyed his happy place while in the meantime Celestia and Revan took on Dr. Psyche.
