Biography[]
"El Jefe"[]
As Ash leaves his trailer and calls Lionel Hawkins, the owner of Books From Beyond. He says that he needs some help translating a particular book. Once Lionel agrees, Ash goes over to his neighbor Vivian and says that he might have to leave town soon. He asks her to tidy up his trailer while he's gone, and she reluctantly agrees. As Ash walks away, a wind blows up from nowhere. He looks back and discovers that Vivian has disappeared. He goes over and pushes aside one of the sheets Vivian was hanging up... and finds a Deadite-possessed Vivian. It says that Ash's time has come again and then she reverts back to normal. Ash quickly drives away.
As night falls, Ash, Pablo Simon Bolivar and Kelly Maxwell drive back to the trailer park. Ash says that he's not sticking his neck out for anyone and puts in a fresh set of dentures. After being attacked by a deadite, Ash goes to grab his chainsaw, only to find a Deadite-possessed Vivian waiting for him. They fight and Vivian slams Ash to the ground. The Deadite says that it's time to test the mettle of Man and throws him across the room. Ash goes for his chainsaw but Vivian throws it away, grabs a knife, and lunges at Pablo. She stabs him in the shoulder, pinning him to the wall, and knocks Kelly to the floor. It manages to grab Kelly once again and tries to thrust its fingernails into her eyes.
Pablo yells to Ash to wake up, and Ash does so. He discovers that he's lost his shotgun in the struggle, but Pablo kicks the chainsaw to him. Ash removes his wooden hand and thrusts his stump into the chainsaw mount. Vivian leaps at him, and Ash cuts her head off. Pablo pulls the knife off, and asks Ash how does he feel, Ash says that it's good to be back.
