Freddy Krueger
Mirror Images
Sidestepping out of instinct, the glove missed Zach by centimeters. Gaining some of his courage back, Zach kicked Freddy in the ribs and then roundhouse kicked him upward in the jaw, sending him flying up and over the banister on the second floor. Not wanting to lose him nerve or momentum, Zach jumped up to the second floor where Freddy was getting back up.
"You're getting better," he said, "but remember, you're dream, but my rules."
Deciding to materialize a little help, Zach imagined an M-16 appearing in his hands, and when he looked, there it was.
Grinning he said, "Your rules THIS!!!" as he pulled the trigger, peppering the dream killer with bullets until he was out of ammo. Just as he walked away, Freddy jumped up and when Zach saw this, he just shrugged.
"Didn't think that would work but I've . . ." Zach faltered as he saw Freddy grin and just as he figured out what was going on, Freddy started to spit out all the bullets back at Zach. In an instant, Zach held out is hand and shot a gigantic blast of energy at Krueger, which vaporized the bullets on it's way to its intended target. Freddy didn't have a chance; he was destroyed along with the bullets.
"Take that asshole."
Zach hopped off the banister back down to the first floor and walked toward the door. When he opened it however, the color drained from his face. There were about 500 yellow jackets swarming around outside. Zach slammed the door shut immediately only to hear Krueger laugh at him.
"Did you think I would let you go that easily?"
Zach just stared at him, too scared to speak.
"Oh by the way," Freddy said, "I hope you like my pets."
As Kruger said that, two decayed looking saint Bernard's with flaming red eyes walked out of the doors to Zach's left and right. Then the window in the door shattered and the yellow jackets swarmed around Krueger.
Zach's fear now was beyond terror, or anything he had felt in his life for Freddy had summoned his two greatest fears into the dream, St. Bernard's and yellow jackets (a kind of hornet).
"Freddy please, let me wake up, let me wake up," he pleaded; he could take anything but what he was being faced with now.
"Oh, I don't think so," Freddy said lightly as his pets launched themselves at Zach.
Just then, Nancy, Kristen, and Alice appeared and the bees, dogs, even Krueger and the house vanished and Zach was again in his room with the three girls.
"What do you want?" Zach asked.
"To protect you," Alice said, "To give you the power you need to beat him."
"No, you don't understand, I can't beat him."
"Yes you can," Nancy interjected, "We saw you fight him. We know you can beat him, you just need confidence."
"Ok, so what do I need to do?" Zach asked, finally becoming himself again.
"Well, that's the problem," Kristen said, "For you to receive and keep this power, you must remain in the dream world for the rest of your life. You'll never be able to wake up. You won't be able to be with your friends, not in reality anyway."
"Meaning?"
"If you except our offer, you'll live your life in the dream world and when you die, your soul will remain in the dream world while your physical body will eventually decay, but you'll have ultimate control over the dream world, you can go anywhere you want, do anything you want," Alice explained.
Zach opened his mouth to ask about his friends but Nancy cut him off, "You'll be able to summon them to you when they're asleep."
Zach looked somewhat relieved but a sharp screeching noise cut through the air.
"We'll give you a day to think it over," Nancy said quickly and seriously, "Now wake up NOW!" she slapped him on the cheek and Zach snapped his eyes open and jumped out of bed, panting like he had just run a marathon, staring at his bed.
"Zach, honey, are you awake?"
He looked out the window, it was sunny. He looked at the clock, 10:00 A.M.
"Yeah," he said as he began to get dressed.
