Author's Note: Okay I've been trying to decide what to do for a chapter 7, but some news gave me inspiration! Freddy Kruger has been announced as the new DLC character for Mortal Kombat! Now since I've already done a Freddy parody in chapter 5 I thought why not a whole chapter of a parody? This will follow the basic premise of the episode "Fear Itself" but instead of Raven freaking out at a scary movie it's Mask. Also this one is dedicated to the biggest supporter of this story and fellow Freddy fan Mary Sue Lover, this ones for you dude!

Chapter 7: Welcome to Mask's Nightmare

The Titans were more than ready for a quiet movie night. After just defeating the lamest villain ever that went by the name Control Freak who's whole thing was a magic remote. Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Raven sat on the couch as they waited for The Mask to arrive with the movie. It was his night to pick and usually all he picked were Jim Carrey movies, so it was a surprise to the team that he picked the Nightmare on Elm Street remake.

"Uh, Mask are you sure about this? I mean you said yourself you don't like horror that much." Robin said as he looked at the DVD case. The Mask just chuckled and replied,

"Well yeah, I don't really like other horror movies but I Freddy is great!" He then put the DVD in and jumped on the couch as the opening credits rolled. Everyone was terrified, even Robin was having a hard time stomaching the movie. After the film ended the entire team sat around in silent terror. Robin was the first to say something,

" I've fought psychotic villains, robot commandos and giant oozing monsters, but that is the scariest thing I have ever seen. But it was so awesome!" The team then began talking about how great the movie was. Even Starfire thought the horrific film was good. Everyone went on and on about the movie. Everyone except Mask and Raven. Raven was just being her usual quiet self, while The Mask was abnormally silent.

"Well I don't know abut you guys but I'm hitting the sack." Mask said as he quickly exited the room. The rest of the team was confused by Mask's odd behavior, well odd for him. The rest of the Titans followed Mask's lead and also went to bed.

Cyborg was asleep before his head hit the pillow. Soon he was awoken by the sound of someone knocking on his door. He mumbled various curse words as he sleepily walked over to his door and opened it, but no one was there.

"Stupid Mask." He mumbled as he turned around to head back to bed. But when he turned his saw that he was in some kind of factory. He looked around trying to figure out how he got there. Suddenly he then heard children singing in a very creepy manner,

"1,2 Stanny's coming for you.

3,4 Better board up your door.

5,6 Grab your bats and sticks,

7,8 Should've stayed up late.

9,10 NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!" Cyborg was then grabbed by robotic tentacles and strapped to an operating table. He was restrained in such a way that he could only slightly turn his head. Suddenly he heard footsteps. He looked and saw a man wearing a dark green hockey mask, black fedora, a dirty yellow and green stripped sweater, black pants, and a tattered brown trench coat. The man raised his right hand and 4 metal claws sprang from his knuckles. The masked figure chuckled darkly and said,

"Let's see if you got a heart Tin Man!" The masked figure then swiped his claws across Cyborgs chest. Cyborg then woke up in panic. Looking around he saw he was in his room. He then heard Starfire screaming and rushed to investigate. As he ran he felt an uneasy feeling build in his stomach as he reached Starfire's room as Raven and Robin came up as well. When they entered the room the found Starfire in her bed curled up in the fettle position crying.

"What happened Starfire?" Robin asked as he crouched down to her level.

Starfire's Room 5 minutes earlier:

Starfire had just changed into her night gown and climbed into bed. Soon she drifted off to peaceful slumber, which was quickly disrupted by the sound of something coming from her closet. She got up to investigate. She opened her closet and saw nothing but still heard an odd noise so she leaned in closer. She was soon pulled in by something and fell into a dark abyss as she heard children sing,

"1,2 Stanny's coming for you.

3,4 Better board up your door.

5,6 Grab your bats and sticks,

7,8 Should've stayed up late.

9,10 NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!" When she landed she looked around and saw that she was in a Gordainian ship. She was very scared now, as she saw a Gordainian appear from nowhere.

"You knew we'd come back!" Terrified, Starfire ran and bumped into a man with a green hockey mask. She looked at him curiously before his mask turned into a snake's face and hissed at her. She screamed and began to run as the masked man called after her in an inhuman voice,

"Why are you screaming? I HAVEN'T EVEN GOT YOU YET!" She then felt cold metal run across her back and the tearing of fabric. Starfire then woke up screaming.

Starfire's Room 5 minutes later:

After Starfire had calmed down she told her friends about her nightmare. Cyborg then said that the same man was in his nightmare as well, and pointed to the scratches on his chest. Starfire felt around on her back and found for long holes in her night gown. Everyone was rightly shocked but seeing as it was almost 5 in the moring decided to stay up.

"Robin what is happening?" Starfire asked in a fear filled voice. Robin merely shook his head and replied,

"I don't know. But I'm going to find out."
