Freddy Krueger:
Mirror Images.
Jacob sat up in bed, sweating. He had just had a nightmare about Krueger and he had been saved by someone, shrugging, he walked downstairs to the kitchen. Reaching the refrigerator, he looked to see his grandfather asleep on the couch. Opening the door, Jacob took a coke from the side panel.
"I wonder when those people will be coming," he said to him self. Looking at the clock, he realized that it was 5:40 in the morning. Before he could do anything, he fell asleep at the table.
"Where am I?" he asked aloud.
"What, never been to Disneyland?" it was Zach.
"No," Jacob answered simply.
"Well come on, I'll show you around."
"What do you want?"
"Just to tell you that the people I told you about will be driving a red van with chrome wheels and a sticker on both sides that says 'your awake only one-third of your life, so screw sleep.'"
"Huh, makes sense if you have our problem."
"Yeah," Zach laughed, "I guess it does."
After about an hour of riding rides, Jacob said goodbye and woke himself up to get ready for school.
"You know, since there's no limit on what I can do in this world, I can do anything I want."
As if to prove this, Zach looked at a random passer by and immediately, the poor kid exploded in a shower of gore.
"HOLY SHIT!!!" Zach laughed, in that kind of surprised yet amused laugh, "that was freaking crazy, I didn't think I could do that."
Unknown to him, the kid he just blew up was a real person who, earlier that day had gone to the park. His parents were now freaking out because they just went to check on their son and instead of finding a peacefully resting boy; they found a room full of blood and human body parts.
"You know, I better think of a way to tell the difference between my created people and real people. How about all dream people wear...blue sweaters."
Instantly, all but thirty people in the park had their outfits change to blue sweaters and what ever pants they were wearing.
"There we go, that's much better. Now to relax."
As if it were nothing big, Zach began to float off the ground and then turned to lay on his back, six feet off the ground.
"I wonder what I'm going to do today? I could always go to Japan, or I could go on a sadistic killing spree that wouldn't fit my personality."
"It would fit mine perfectly," said a low and gritty voice from behind him.
Upon hearing that voice, Zach almost fell out of the air with surprise. Turning around, Zach saw the one person that he really didn't want to see, Freddy Krueger.
"Damn it Freddy what do you..." Zach faltered, because he saw that Freddy was holding a kid in his arms, who wasn't wearing a blue sweater.
"I said it before, one more to GO!!!" he shouted as he thrust his glove into the back of the kids' head, staining his finger blades red.
"Damn it!" Zach shouted.
Laughing like a madman, Krueger threw the body aside, letting the blood streaming out of the kids' head to pool on the ground.
"This feels great," he said, "I've got my full power back."
"Shit."
"Now, I'm going to kill you, and finish this little feud."
Zach said nothing, only crouched down into a fighting stance. Krueger did not follow suit however and merely raised his hand and a huge copy of the Saint Bernard's he used earlier appeared behind Zach. Zach turned around just as it leaped at him. Jumping up to the top of Matterhorn Mountain, Zach thought the dog wouldn't follow, it did. Bounding up the fake mountain, the dog thought only of the kill, but Zach ducked down as the dog sailed over him and fell to the ground below. Jumping from his perch on the mountain, Zach pulled his arm back, preparing to fire another energy blast.
"It's time to put this bad dog to sleep!" he shouted as he fired the blast and destroyed the demonic dog.
Hitting the ground, Zach looked at the hole he had made and repaired it with a wave of his hand. When he looked up, he saw Freddy standing on top of his mountain.
"Get off my mountain!" Zach shouted as he launched him self at Krueger.
"Oh, so it's king of the hill now is it?" he said.
Zach reached Krueger and punched at his head, Krueger grabbed his hand and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying.
"That really hurts, it must be because of those kids he's killed," said a winded Zach.
Regaining his breath, Zach stopped himself in midair.
"You've gotten stronger Krueger, how?"
"Children my friend, always the children."
"Your disgusting, I'm going to take you down,"
"If you think you can, bring it on."
With Freddy's consent, Zach flew down at him. Drawing energy from his surroundings, he channeled it in to his fist, which started to glow, changing color all the while.
"Hope your ready for my rainbow fist Freddy."
Freddy nodded.
"TASTE THE RAINBOW KRUEGER!!!"
Zach brought his fist to Freddy's face, but the dream stalker jumped away and Zach punched the mountain instead, putting a huge crack in it that went from the top, to the bottom.
"You know," Krueger said, "you might have been able to kill me with that move if it hit me."
Zach scowled and flew down at Freddy who simply stood there. Zach landed, only to run off in the direction of the go-karts.
"Think you can catch me Freddy?" he shouted back.
Freddy scowled and tore after him. Jumping into one of the carts, he punched the steering wheel and the car took off, with Freddy chasing him in the car behind him.
"What's wrong, are you running?"
Zach didn't answer; instead, he punched the hood of the car and automated rocket launchers popped out of slots in the hood. He then slammed on the brakes and Krueger's car hit and flipped over Zach's and was destroyed by the rocket launchers.
"HA HA, take that mother fucker!"
Getting out of the car, Zach flew up to the top of the Matterhorn and placed his hand on it.
"I really hope no REAL person noticed the crack. Oh well better fix this."
As he talked, his hand and the mountain glowed a brilliant gold and the crack disappeared.
"There we go, that will be fine," Zach said as he hopped off the mountain to the ground.
Wanting to see if Tracy and the others were asleep, Zach tried to feel their presence in the dream world. Finding only Tracy, he waved his hand and arrived in a dingy house with bras and panties hanging from clotheslines.
"I'm home Tracy," said a low voice.
"Go away Daddy,"
"Now Tracy is that any way to talk to your Father."
Tracy's Dad walked toward her and tried to grope her before...
"Get away from her asshole!" Zach shouted.
"Zach!" Tracy burst out, running to him.
"Hi Trace, having another nightmare?"
She nodded.
"Hold on," Zach said as he waved his hand and they were in a clearing with trees behind them and a breathtaking view of a plain with brilliantly green grass.
"Did you do that?" She asked.
"Yup, and I can do a hell of a lot more...for instance..." Zach snapped his fingers and several herds of elk, deer, moose, and several flocks of birds shimmered into existence. Snapping his fingers again, he set up a force field that Freddy would not be able to penetrate.
"So what do you want to do?" Tracy asked.
"Not much, just stand or sit here with you."
"How sweet. Are you sure you've never had a girlfriend?"
"Are you sure you've never had a boyfriend? Your looks and personality are top notch."
"Touché, but your forgetting what you saw in my nightmare, with a dad like that...I have had a real problem with guys getting near me, let alone touch me."
"What about me? What's different about me?"
"You...your...I don't know, I just trust you."
Taking a huge risk, Zach wrapper his arms around her waist and said, "Enough to let me do this?"
Tracy fidgeted out of instinct but answered him.
"As a matter of fact, I do," she said.
Zach grinned and leaned back enough to fall backward. Tracy shrieked, but Zach slowed their descent and made a blanket appear beneath them a second before they hit it.
"Comfortable?" Zach asked.
Tracy just nodded; amazed about what she was feeling to Zach, she wouldn't have believed it but she would have sworn she was in LOVE with Zach! She didn't know it but the same thing was going through Zach head. Unlike her however, he KNEW he was in love with her but couldn't tell her. Zach was about to try, but Tracy cut him off.
"Zach listen, I...I...IthinkIloveyou."
"What?" Zach asked.
"I think...no...I know I love you."
Zach was stunned. No one in his life had told him that. The fact that he felt the same way was what really got him.
"Tracy," he said, running totally on an impulse, "I love you too."
Immense relief flooded through Tracy. So much that her head started to lean toward his. Zach didn't know what to do and before he could do anything, Tracy's lips were upon his. The warmth that spread through them was unreal and their lips stayed locked for another five seconds until Tracy backed off.
"This is going to be really hard," she said, "I live in the real world and you live in the dream world, how can we keep together?"
"I'll think of something. You better wake up though, you, Doc, and Maggie need to come up with a way to kill Krueger for real."
"Business first, love later right?"
"Right," Zach answered, "But since nobody sleeps during the day, I can afford to keep you company."
"How?"
"Like this," Zach said as he dematerialized and flew into Tracy's forehead as Tracy woke up.
Jumping out of bed, Tracy got ready for the day but before she had got two steps closer to the bathroom, she heard a voice inside her head.
"I hope you make sure to brush your teeth."
Tracy jumped back out of surprise only to be reassured that she had not lost her mind, just had someone inside it.
"How did you do that Zach?"
"Same way Freddy got into Maggie's mind. Only I'm not trying to use you."
"So what's the plan?"
"You, Doc, and Maggie have to get to Springwood and we'll go from there"
"All right," Tracy sighed as she finished getting ready.
Fifteen minutes later
"Doc do you have any idea on how to kill him?" Maggie asked out of desperation, for she refused to let her father resume his killing ways.
"Not really, the only thing I can think of is to destroy everything that connects him to this world but we have to find out what those are."
"I think I know what those are."
"What?" Tracy asked.
"I have to borrow your body for a second, you don't mind do you?"
"No."
Immediately, Zach took over Tracy's body and was speaking out of her mouth with her voice.
"Those items would be his house, whatever is left of his body, and his glove. Problem is I don't know how we could destroy his bones."
"How do you know this Tracy?"
"Tracy doesn't, but Zach does."
Doc and Maggie freaked out and asked how that it was possible for someone trapped in the dream world to inhabit a real persons body.
"Maggie, do you remember when Freddy hitched a ride in your mind? That's more or less what I'm doing with Tracy."
"Oh, ok. So what did you say about destroying his remains?"
"Well, I know is remains are buried in the Springwood junk yard along with the glove. I think you remember where 1428 Elm St. is."
"All right," Doc said, "then all that's left is to get to Elm St."
Jacob sat up in bed, sweating. He had just had a nightmare about Krueger and he had been saved by someone, shrugging, he walked downstairs to the kitchen. Reaching the refrigerator, he looked to see his grandfather asleep on the couch. Opening the door, Jacob took a coke from the side panel.
