A Light in the Darkness [Complete]

[Ash Williams]

Over the sound of the battle, the revving of the chainsaw and gun shots can be heard from all the slaying Ash was doing on the undead army. The ground is littered in gore and severed body parts from the path of the prime. For the militia, they were not holding up too well from how their enemy are oppressing them by the number of warriors they got. After fighting off from the undead for now, Ash can see the men getting massacred out there in the forest. This brings him more determination to help his comrades and to protecting Darkshire from such a dark force. With confidence on his face along with blood of his enemies, he charges in the part of the forest to help his fellow soldiers out.

The young soldier that was with Ash earlier at the fire pit, hides behind a tree and hasn't really encounter a fight yet. He looks over to see the blood shed of his comrades dying from the horrific animated corpses. After taking a look at the battlefield, he turns around quickly to look away with his back against the tree. Fear grows onto him and makes him grip his sword tightly with both of his hands.

I can't believe this is happening, all of us are dying from these monsters. I'm too young to die or experience this! All I wanted to do was help my family with their shop back in town even hoping to have a happy life with a beautiful wife and children. This can't be the end. It can't be. Fighting is another thing I have never done in my life. I also never killed anything either. They came to our home and told me that the militia needed myself. That's why I'm thrown into this role and same with the others that are at my age. Right now I just want to drop my weapon and leave this fight but I would be punished or killed by the enemy if they catch me. I really don't wa- thought the young soldier hiding from the battle but was caught off guard as an arrow punctures the tree right next to his head.

He suddenly felt coldness going down his spine and shaking too as three undead soldiers stand in front of him with the stench of death that can be smelt. One was an archer holding a bow not having much armor as the others wore some medium armor holding a battle axe and a sword which they looked like they were infantry men. The clothes on them were old and rotten away with the rest of their appearance.

"Look what we found here boys, a young blood." said the sword holding zombie soldier in the middle of the three.

They laugh with their deep undead voices then the archer loads another arrow and fires it at the young man. He gets hit by the arrow in his left thigh making him scream in pain and kneel down to the ground from the wound. His weapon is dropped by his hands on the thigh that was punctured. This makes the three laugh even more and walks over to the soldier who is kneeling in defeat. The young one grits his teeth in pain and looks down at the arrow stuck in his thigh.

"Aw, c'mon you weakling, take it like a man!" muffled the other one holding the battle axe with a iron helmet covering his head.

After an half a minute looking down at his wound, he looks back up to see his enemies standing in front of him looking down upon himself. From the sight of them at his face, tears start rolling down from the soldier's eyes from all the shock that is happening to him and terror. He starts to cry now thinking about the memories he had with his family and friends in life. The one with the sword stands in front of the young human and takes the helmet off of him then throws it to the side to see the full face of his kill.

"Is that it, that's all what my opponent is going to do to me is cry? Your not even going to put up a fight but just let me kill you? If that's the case then, I'm going to make your death so ugly that you won't even have a open casket funeral for you." said the one with the sword raising it high over the unfortunate soldier's neck ready to decapitate.

This is it. I never knew I would die on the battlefield. Soon I will be joining with the rest that tried to fight valiantly. As for me, I died as a coward. thought the soldier with his face on the ground closing his tightly still streaming with tears prepared for death. Before the sword was about to be swung, the archer's head explodes from the shot of Ash's shotgun. The others turned around to face Ash standing there before them with part of him covered in blood along with his bloody chainsaw hand and boomstick. They charge at him with war cries with their weapons held in a very attack manner.

Ash walks forward at the two while aiming the gun with his left hand towards the axe wielder and shoots his last shot in the gun piercing the armor of the undead soldier making his gut to start bleeding. He holsters his shotgun then charges at the sword wielder clashing with his chainsaw. They move away from each other and began circling. The other one recovers from the shot and heads towards the two that were in a fight. An attack was made by the sword wielder but Ash blocks a move with the chainsaw being held by both of his hands.

Another war cry was made by the axe wielder with his axe held high behind Ash but moves out of the way quickly as the swung was made by the armored one. A accident was made from the axe missing but severed the sword wielder's arm that held his weapon. The arm drops to the ground holding the sword making him angry what just happened.

"Dammit! That was my best arm! Why the hell you did you do that!" cursed the undead soldier in frustration at the other one.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, he moved out of the way!" apologized holding his down with both of his hands.

While both of them fussed at each other, Ash from behind, strikes the axe wielder across the body from the shoulder slicing the enemy in half. After defeating one of them, Ash stands before the other which was surprised at what just happened. Before he could do anything but just stand there, the evil dead slayer decapitates his foe with the chainsaw hand then destroys the head. The fight was over as Ash was heavily breathing a bit from all the action he was doing.

He looks over at the wounded young soldier that was still facing at the ground and still had the arrow in his thigh. Ash rushes over to the young one to see if he was going to be ok.

Am I dead yet? questioned the soldier with eyes still shut then opens them to look up.

A comfort feeling fell upon him when he saw Ash kneeling in front of him.

"You alright?" said Ash focused on the young one.

"Yeah, I'm ok but I got hit by an arrow." responded the soldier looking down again at his wound.

"Well, you might not like what I'm about to do here in a second." said Ash detaching his chainsaw limb that dissolved into omnilium then he summoned the metal hand and attaches it to his missing limb.

He moves the soldier against the tree for him to rest on. After moving the soldier, the evil dead slayer put his left hand on the injured thigh.

"Wait, what are you doing?" said the soldier with nervousness looking back up at Ash.

"I'm going to have to play doctor here for just a moment." said Ash grabbing the arrow with his metal hand then pulls the arrow out of the young one which made him scream loudly again in pain.

The thigh starts to bleed quickly but Ash rips off half of his left sleeve exposing his arm. Quickly, he wraps up the wound with his sleeve and tighs it not too tightly or loose.

From that segment happening, the soldier breaths heavily through his teeth from the agony he just went through.

"Now what are we post to do? All of us are dying left to right. I'm not too sure that we'll make it out of here alive if I'm with you." said the young soldier in a depression state.

"Hey, listen to me! I'm going to get you out of here no matter what it takes! I also am not going to let another one die especially you! If I still have to fight through these uglies then we will stand our ground until I get you safe!" shouted Ash over the battlefield with encouragement.

After what Ash said, the soldier nods for his response trusting him that he will protect his life. The evil dead slayer picks him up and carries the soldier in a fireman's carrying. They both rush back towards the west gate to get the young one back in one piece.
