Shadows of the Nexus [Open]

[Ash Williams]

"Yeah, just a no man's land full of monsters and rare human civilization. For a while now, I been fitting in there while helping the town of Darkshire which is the last remaining major town. There are some settlements in the Pale Moors, but they have become abandoned or destroyed by Dracula's goons. There is one small settlement I have been to and save it with couple other primes from a dark force." Ash explained about the Pale Moors to Echo while he pressed the gas pedal, making the car accelerate more.

"I can handle the Pale Moors. From my training, I've been through the most difficult environments that we, Helghans would be thrown into combat." Echo mentioned with confidence about taking on the Pale Moors.

"Well that's good you sound like you got the guts for it," Ash said to Echo as one hand was on the steering while the other reached for his beer that was sitting in the cupholder.

Ash took another drink of his beer and set it back in the cupholder while steering the car.

Both remained silent as they listened to Ash's mixtape that was playing on the stereo. Sometimes Ash would sing lyrics to the song while this was the first time that Echo hearing this music. The evil dead slayer finished his can of beer while driving and crushed the empty can with his metallic artificial hand with powerful strength. He threw the crushed can in the back seat and continued going fast in the Nexus toward the Pale Moors gate.

Finally, Ash broke the silence while he drove, and it helped the mood.

"At least I don't see too much patrolling going on with from those bucket heads," Ash said but Echo never heard that kind of term or people before.

"Bucket heads?" Echo questioned in curiosity what that meant.

"I'm talking about Storm Troopers, they're soldiers of the Empire which is one of the biggest armies in the Omniverse. I just came from their capital that is named Coruscant, it's a humongous sprawling city that looks like it's from the future and far advanced. Compared to me, it's a city I don't dream to live in but it might be a place you would be comfortable with. Some people either hate them or like them here but I rather not get in trouble with them since they put out bounties constantly," Ash talked about the Empire and their capital which did peek Echo's interest.

"Sounds like Vekta but Lucas and I call it home," Echo spoke remembering of her home planet and was sort of becoming homesick but there was also the cold war that the Helghans and Vektans were involved in which made matters worse.

"Yeah well, I been wishing for some time I would go home too since when I was first dropped here, but it looks like I may never see my old life again," Ash said with no hope of getting back the normal life he lived.

"But that's life, and I've learned to deal with it for some quiet time here now," Ash continued while facing his attention ahead of them.

The Oldsmobile engine hums while they sped through the great white plains of the Nexus.
