Taskmaster easily decapitated one of the monsters, and bounched the shield off the skull of the second one, sending it back against the wall. Ash stepped inside as soon as the shield was back in Masters' hand, and finished the job with chainsaw-to-the-throat action.
Further back in the suite, the Jonathan Crane backed away in fear, gritting his teeth as he rushed towards his bedroom with the book in hand, likely attempting to reach his fear gas and his scythe! "NO!! It's mine! You won't get away with this!" he hissed.

"HYEEEAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH!!" he screamed in agony as the Taskmaster shot both of his kneecaps into a bloody, bony mess, sending him crashing into the wall as he clumsily tried to get to a specific page in the book.
"I'll take this, thank you very mu-" Ash began, grabbing the tome, as suddenly... a bright flash of light engulfed all of them within.
When their eyes recovered, Taskmaster and Ash were now in the middle of a creepy, somewhat cold forest whose trees were filled with dying leaves.
"Aw, f*** me", Ash grumbled as he looked around. While the book in his hand spoke.
"Language, Williams", the vile, chuckling voice cackled.
"Shut your damn pie hole, you sorry excuse for toilet paper", he growled as he shoved the book in a bag, and into his backpack.

"That Crane moron read more words from the book and now we got sent into another world", the man grumbled. "...We stopped him, but... hell if I know where we are now", he admitted. "You wouldn't happen to be able to read ancient Sumerian, would ya?"

"No." He said. "I don't even know what I had for lunch two days ago."

"Well we ain't going back any time soon then", he said...
...just as Taskmaster barely dodged what looked like... a spearhead at the end of a chain? ...Which had downright pierced through a tree, as they spotted a man in what appeared to be a yellow and black ninja(?) outfit, fighting against a hairy, muscular man with a metallic plate on half of his face with an artificial, glowing red eye where his original one had been.
"Oh, great. Another world with costumed freaks", the shotgun armed man remarked.

"Don't move yet... I wanna learn more about how the fight." TM said observing the fight calmly.
repeating stones but with 3 in social skills to make Ash hold off on intervening yet while I watch and study their movements.

"Right. I'd rather just shoot whichever of them wins if they're still coming swinging once the other guy is down", he said, shrugging.
Observing the fight, Taskmaster quickly learned that the ninja in yellow was a considerably more skilled fighter with much strength, speed and finesse to back his skill up, who also relied heavily on supernatural powers; he could apparently teleport, create and control fire and other tricks. But he soon had a solid idea of his degree of combat skill.
The other man was using a much more streetfighting-like style, but clearly showed signs of military training and some degree of martial arts. He used some gadgets to keep up with his opponent's powers - in particular, his robotic eye apparently could shoot lasers - but he fought dirty, too. Copied:
Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion Ninja: 7 (Str.bonus and Wpn.modifier/2 Wpn.modifiers; Efficient) Acrobatics: 4 (Agl.bonus)
Kano C.C: 6 (Str.bonus and Wpn.modifier) R.C: 5 (Agl.bonus and Wpn.modifier) Acrobatics: 3 (Agl.bonus)

"Okay. I think I've seen enough." He said. "Do what you want."

"I dunno, buddy. Are we supposed to help one, kill the other, kill both? Hell if I know", he said, shrugging.
"Then perhaps I can be of assistance", said a man's voice behind them, as multiple arcs of visible electricity appeared seemingly out of nowhere before focusing into a single point, forming a silhouette and condensing into its eyes as it materialized into the form of a man in a whitem blue and black uniform with a pointy conical straw hat. "I... am the God of Earthrealm, Raiden. I believe I may have the answers to your questions."

"Really, you know how to get us back to our home world?" He asked.

"I might, yes. Although... is that truly what you desire, Tony Masters?" the man asked. "A man with such a unique learning skill, who has lost so many memories. Lost himself, not yet learned what he has the potential to be. And you, Ash Williams. The Promised One... sworn enemy of the Watcher in the Woods, warrior against the forces of darkness. Long have you left your own world behind to keep fighting. But if you truly wish to head back to your homeworld, there might be a way", Raiden said.
"Cool party trick, Sparky. You do tarot card readings too?" Ash asked sarcastically.
"This is no trick", the god said, shaking his head. "If you join my team of Kombattants in the Mortal Kombat tournament against the forces of Shao Khan, and we succeed, I will do my best to make a wish of yours come true", he promised. "Be it returning to your homeworld, or something else, should you change your mind by then."

"Tempting offer, but first off, how do you know my name. If that is my real name.... Which I am not sure."
