A Light in the Darkness [Complete]

[Ash Williams]

Galloping can be heard in the distance from a single horse getting closer to the city. A single man is riding the horse wearing a brown tunic with a hood over his head. Three throwing knives were clipped to his belt and his main weapon was a bow slung over his back with his quiver filled with arrows. On the other side of his belt held his main combat knife that was a bit bigger then his throwing knives. The man with his horse gallop through the cold and dreading night. There was only one main goal that the soldier had on his mind was to bring back the news as soon as possible.

At the end of the dead forest, he can start to see the light that was being emitted off the campfires that were made. The scout made it back in one piece and exited the forest quickly. He brings up his reigns to make his horse to come to a complete halt.

"The undead, they are not far away from here! Our enemies are not hesitating to attack! They'll be here soon!" yelled the scout which he already got everyone's attention by showing up on his horse.

Soldiers quickly were setting up and getting to their stations as fast as possible. Nervousness has again set on the young soldiers as they get prepared. Archers with their crossbows and other soldiers quickly got into the dug trenches that are little ways ahead the west entrance. Torches are now being set in the trenches and around the perimeter to at least have vision to see their opponents. Everyone rushes away from the warm fire pits and start getting into their position.

"Get to your battle stations men!" commanded the leader of this infantry that was defending.

After ten minutes, men were lined up in the trench and long range archers were in their towers waiting to see their enemies. Ash jumps in the trench along with most of everyone and the soldiers with him from the fire followed him. The youngest that he was talking to earlier stands right next to him on the right having sweat coming down his forehead and a concerned look on his face. Men drew their swords, shields, spears, battle axes, even maces. Some were more armored then the others but it meant for them that they were carrying much weight which would slow them down. Others were wearing some light clothing but was covered with less armor.

Archers in the trench begin to load the arrows into their crossbows then aiming towards the woods. The night fell into silence as everybody was focused on holding the lines. Ash could see around him too that some were praying to be safe and for others. Each breath can be seen from people exhaling from the cold weather. It was making Ash feel cold staying in the trench along with the others.

After standing there for a couple of minutes, the evil dead slayer detaches his metal hand disappearing into omnilium and summons his chainsaw arm then equips it. Suddenly marching can be heard in front of the trench which is still a good distance away. The lighting of torches can be seen in the wilderness that the undead soldiers carry. Bony feet can be heard crackling as each step was made from the enemy. Some of the Darkshire's men gulp in fear and others had one goal on their mind: to protect their home.

The torches from the undead start to glow brighter as they get closer to the front-line of humans.

"Steady." said the leader on his horse behind the trench of men.

They can now see the horrific undead nightmares as they come closer to the end of the woods.

"FIRE!!!" screamed the leader giving the signal in a confident manner.

After a split second when the leader commanded, the archers begin to fire upon the forest that was filled with the enemy. Arrows start to rain upon the forest hitting some of the infantry and causing them to slow down. A small part of the fire power did kill off some of the infantry soldiers but didn't even make a dent into stopping the assault. The trees did provide cover for Dracula's fiends to use from incoming projectiles. They also had archers too that fired arrows upon the men in the trench some got hit which injured or killed them.

All of the soldiers in the trench made war cries and drew their weapons especially shields climbing out from the cover then began to sprint into battle towards their enemy. Ash yanks the pull cord to start his melee weapon then runs into battle too with his chainsaw and shotgun along with others. The living clash with the undead in the forest beginning the battle to defend their wall. Sounds of metallic weapons hitting each other and men grunting or screaming can be heard through part of the forest. It is now condemned with the nature of war and violence.

Ash joins the fight and runs up to one of the hideous looking undead knights. He takes one out with a single shot from his boomstick due to being up close. Another one charges from his right side which Ash reacted quickly swinging his chainsaw to deflect the attack. His opponent stumbles a bit then makes another attempt to at least kill the prime. The zombiefied soldier, raises his sword in the air with a growl about to swing downwards to at least hit Ash in the head. Before his enemy could swing, the prime raises his shotgun and  fires his last buckshot loaded at the sword which broke the weapon in half leaving his foe holding the handle and a very short blade.

This made his opponent dismay what happened to his weapon then Ash drops his shotgun leaving his hand free to grab the handle of the chainsaw. He swings his melee with his two hands and begins sawing his enemy in half across the torso. Gore was sprayed upon Ash from the split opened torso. The undead soldier splits into two pieces in defeat which Ash grabs his shotgun off the ground after the battle. He reloads his double barrel shotgun quickly with two shells in both barrels. After reloading, he rolls his shotgun in his left hand while walking towards more baddies coming his way.

Two start running up towards Ash with war cries in front of him. As they come near him, he fires his two shots into his foes blowing them away off their feet. Another one runs up to Ash in the same direction with a mace and shield that was filled with such horrific rotten gore. He didn't really have no time to reload and holsters the shotgun on his back. The undead mace wielding soldier takes a swing at Ash but he dodges by taking a quick side step to get out of the way. Ash was missed by a hair which he could feel the wind off of that deadly swing.

The evil dead slayer grunts from the dodge then attacks the enemy with his chainsaw but his foe uses his old iron shield to block the attack. Sparks fly off from the rotating blade scraping the firm surface. It became a strength test against the two trying to push one and another. His enemy stands a bit taller then him but didn't really make a con of Ash's strength. Both grit teeth as they stand their ground while others in the background either undead or human killing each other.

When the pressure was building up on the both, Ash made his move removing the chainsaw away from the shield which made the zombie stumble forward. The evil dead slayer gets out of the way now behind his combatant. He faces the enemy's back then swings his chainsaw as the foe starts turning around to face Ash. From the attack, the move was focused on the neck which he successfully decapitates him.

"Gah! My head!" yelled the defeated undead soldier as his head fell to the ground.

The body takes a couple swings at Ash as he tries to back off from each swing.

"C'mon dammit! Just die!" said the separated head on the ground a few feet away from the fight.

After another swing, Ash had enough and made a attempt move to slice the hand holding the mace. While the mace swung downwards missing Ash from moving a step back, the chainsaw cuts through the risk separating the hand away from the body making it weaponless. Ash makes another attack but clashes again with the shield as the headless body still fighting back.

"Yeeah!" yelled Ash thrusting his chainsaw upwards with all his strength which made made the shield do the same thing.

A weakness was opened to his opponent with his shield moved away which Ash then begins sawing the body straight down in the middle from neck to crotch. The corpse separates into two pieces falling to the ground. After the fight, Ash walks over to the decapitated undead head while the battle goes on behind them.

"Damn you prime! I hope you rot one day in the Underverse! All of you are doomed from Dracula! You hear me!" cursed the head at Ash

The evil dead slayer draws out his shotgun from his holster and reloads it then points his gun at the head.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." said Ash with a smirked then pulls the trigger causing the remains of the soldier to explode like a watermelon.
