The Hunt Begins (Dark Data)

[Ash Williams]

During the afternoon in the local tavern of Darkshire, Ash was doing his daily routines. On occasions, he would go for walks to make sure that everything was going fine within the town or sitting at the bar and drinking beer that was in wooden mugs for his thirst. He was present at the bar, sitting on one of the stools with his back hunch over while having both of his hands on the drink. The bartender was cleaning and wiping the used mugs behind the bar. After defending the town from the invasion, he had to take a break to heal the wounds of the fight. Now, Ash felt better and more active than he was after the tough battle. Darkshire was still rebuilding from the destruction of the fights that took place from the other primes and secondaries.

Still, monsters try to claw their way through the defenses and at least attempt to steal someone. Nothing new at least hasn't popped up after the fight but the town was shaken up after the invasion attempt that made the townspeople fear greatly that still there are primes out there that want to annihilate them. On the other hand, they still did feel comfort that there were other primes out in the Omniverse that wanted to defend their rights to live. Over these past events, Ash was starting to get recognized to be one of the primes that were willing to stay with them and protect what they have left.

The evil dead slayer takes another drink out of his beer to feel refreshed. Suddenly, the front double doors of the tavern burst open with a black cloaked figure. As soon he stepped in, his hood comes off revealing a man in his mid-fifties having gray hair but was nearly going bald. His face was clean shaven and had a few wrinkles from age. The stranger spotted Ash sitting at the bar and walked up to him. Ash didn't pay much attention who just came in but he heard footsteps approaching him.

"M-Mr. Williams, it's an honor to meet you." said the man looking at Ash.

"What do you want old man? An autograph?" questioned Ash with his back turned on the man and took a final sip of his beer.

"Well um actually no. I come here with opportunity for you. My name is Dr. Young, I'm a scientist from Coruscant on the behalf of Dr. Regal and we need your help." continued the doctor taking a seat next to Ash.

"Listen here pal, I got more things to worry about for this town and its people. If you guys want to use me as an errand runner or a guinea pig for your experiments than beat it! There are more primes back in your fancy smancy city than this place!" refused Ash turning to the scientist next to him.

"Now now, wait just a moment! This is an important topic I need to talk to you about and it's serious! Listen, recently there are dangerous things popping up all around the Omniverse and they can control the fate of our existence. These devices can fling us into a dark future!" stated the scientist.

"What devices?" questioned Ash

"Dark data chips. Y-yes these are the problems that are popping in all the verses, including yours. Something out there can get a hold of these things and can turn someone or something powerful that could cause problems for Darkshire's existence! Right now, Dr. Regal has gathered primes together to stop this madness that's happening. Your name is on that list. We have heard about your actions here and think you are suitable for the job. You will make an excellence to our team. What do you say?" finished the scientist hoping Ash that he will agree to help them.

Ash rubs his chin and questions that if this scientist is being somewhat serious.

"Fine, I'll help you guys fix this problem since it's on a large scale and if it threatens Darkshire." answered Ash

"Excellent! Now there is one prime heading to this verse to find the dark chip as we speak. Since you are already here, I suggest you help this prime find it. Now when you encounter these dark chips, I highly recommend you destroy them rather using them because it can become highly addicting to use just like drugs. It will destroy you mentally and physically. These dark chips will look like tiny computer chips with the color of black and purple." said the scientist reaching in his cloak's pocket.

"Here's a piece of technology we developed that will help you track down Nebula's activity. They are responsible for creating the chips. You will also be protected from their corruption that radiates off of them… here's the part I wish I had the choice not to tell you but you do have the ability to insert these dark chips in case you get into harry situations. The good news is that it will prevent from the worst to happen. I highly suggest you use these chips sparingly. When you use them, they will make powerful than what you normally use too." finished the scientist who hands Ash the gauntlet that had a small monitor mounted at the risk.

"Got it. So, don't use the chips too much," responded Ash

"Exactly, now you excuse me. I must hurry back to Coruscant and help my colleagues with this situation." said the scientist getting up from the stool and walking out of the tavern.

Ash looks down at gauntlet he was holding with his metal artificial hand. He attaches the device to his left risk and examines the piece of technology. A button got pressed on one of the sides from the gauntlet which activated it. The screen flashes and turned on showing other applications to use. Soon after, Ash got up from the bar and paid his drink then exited the tavern. He tried to make his way to one of the gates of Darkshire that will let him enter the ferocious nature of the Pale Moors.
