NOES: Mirror Images.
Jacob was walking to the house next to his, intent on meeting the people Zach had mentioned.
"I wonder what they'll be like?" he asked himself as he reached the front door of the one floor house.
Before he could ring the doorbell however, Tracy opened the door.
"Oh hi, you must be Jacob. Come on in."
Surprised, he walked into the house and asked who these people were.
"Tracy."
"Doc."
"Maggie. Or Katherine, that's my real name, I guess."
"Why do you say 'you guess'?"
"Because Freddy Krueger is my real dad and that's what he named me. I was adopted though and my adoptive parents called me Maggie."
"HE'S YOUR WHAT???" Jacob shouted, forgetting he was talking to a stranger.
"My father." Maggie replied calmly.
"I think I need to sit down," Jacob said as he plopped down into the nearest chair.
"So who are you?" Doc asked.
"I'm Jacob. My mom is Alice Johnson,"
"Alice Johnson, didn't she fight Freddy once?" Tracy asked.
"Three times," Jacob said, "Once before she had me and again when she was pregnant with me. She fought him again a couple of days ago, but that time he...he won."
"I'm sorry," Maggie said.
"No, it's ok, I knew if she fought him again she would die, she almost died the second time, but I saved her."
"How?" Doc asked.
"It's a long story, but what happened was that, since unborn babies dream 80% of their day, Freddy used my dreams to get around the barrier my mom put up in her head. To do that, he had to feed me the souls of people he'd killed. In the end, I used the power he had given me to beat him."
"What do you mean the barrier your mom put in her head?" Tracy asked.
"It's like this: Freddy used to use her dreams to get to his victims, but when my mom beat him, she prevented him from using her dreams. Now that he's back though, I don't know what to do."
"Your in luck, we do." Doc said.
"So what do we do?" Jacob asked, speaking slightly faster.
"That's where you come in, we need to know where his remains and glove are." Maggie explained.
"Why?"
"If we destroy them and his house, there won't be anything that connects him to this world anymore. That will help," Maggie continued, reading the look on Jacob's face, "because if nothing connects him to this world, he'll never be able to return."
"Well, I know his bones are hidden in the junkyard and a friend of mine found the glove, but how do you destroy bones?"
"Is there a steel mill in Springwood?" Doc asked.
"Yeah, they tore down the old power plant on the outskirts of Springwood and put up a steel mill."
"Ok, now, can you tell that friend of yours to give you the glove?"
Yeah, but I don't know if he'll listen."
"Well, we've got to try." Tracy said.
"Ok. Now Jacob, do you know where the bones are hidden in the junkyard?" Maggie asked.
"Somewhere in the middle I think," he said dully.
"All right, come back here tonight, we are going to finish this once and for all."
"Finally," Jacob said, "after tonight, it will be safe to sleep again."
"Well now that this is sorted out, I'm going to take a nap," Tracy said.
"Why?" Jacob, Doc, and Maggie asked.
"I need to tell Zach what the plan is," she said as though this was obvious.
Meanwhile
Zach was flying over his Disneyland realm trying to think of things to do when he suddenly felt Tracy enter the dream world. Stopping in midair, he concentrated and found himself in the field he had created last night with Tracy, who by the way, was standing in the middle of the clearing.
"What's up Trace?" he asked, floating down to the ground.
"Not much, just thought I'd tell you that we figured out how to send that ass down to hell and keep him there."
"That's good," Zach said cheerfully.
"Yeah, but we need to keep him busy so he doesn't know we're messing with his bones. According to Jacob, when they buried him, he possessed his own remains and fought them that way, so we need you to keep him busy."
"No problem, I've been getting tired of just screwing with his mind."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll tell you later," Zach said before kissing her lips quickly, "Why don't we enjoy each others company for awhile?"
"I thought you said 'work first love later?'"
"Nope, you said that, I just went along with it because I didn't think we'd have time until this was over," he said simply.
"Oh," was all she said.
"Hey check this out," Zach said as he jumped up and did a handstand on Tracy's shoulders.
"What are you doing?" she half laughed.
"Doing a handstand on your shoulders, what does it look like?"
"No I mean how is it that I don't feel any extra weight on my shoulders."
"Oh, Not much, I just don't want you to feel any pressure, so you don't."
"Oh," was all Tracy had to say.
Zach stood like that for a while until he got another idea.
"Hey Tracy, can you stay here for a couple minutes, I just got a great idea."
"Sure, what's the idea?"
"I'm going to scare the crap out of Freddy."
"How?"
"Simple, I know that he seems like he's not scared of anything, but there is one thing that scares him..."
"And that would be?" Tracy asked impatiently.
"Fire, he hates fire."
"So what are you going to do? Set him on fire?"
"Oh no," Zach said, his voice becoming low and gritty, "I've got a much more...how can say this... interesting idea."
In that moment, it was only for a second, but in that moment, Tracy saw a glint in Zach's eyes. A glint that reminded her of Freddy.
"But first," Zach continued as his voice returned to normal, "a change of costume."
He snapped his fingers and was instantly clothed in a brown fedora, red and green sweater, black pants, black boots and of course, the trademark glove. Before Tracy could do anything, Zach disappeared in a blast of flame.
Freddy had just dozed off after killing another kid by turning his braces against him and was walking around his old house when he heard voices.
"One two, he's coming for you,"
Freddy turned around and saw all of his first victims (the kids, not the teenagers) playing jump rope and singing that stupid song.
"Hey kids, get out of my house!" he shouted.
Suddenly, the entire scene changed and they were in front of the house instead of inside it.
Krueger was thoroughly confused now, he didn't have a clue as to what was going on and he didn't like it.
"Didn't you kids hear me," he shouts again, "I said LEAVE!"
The children turn around and Krueger gives a microscopic jump. All of the children bore grotesque wounds and cuts, all of which Freddy remembered. Katie, the girl closest to him, had two deep cuts going from her forehead to her chin. That wouldn't have been so bad had the cuts not cut her eyeballs as well. Dylan, another kid, had four slashes going from the upper- right corner of his face to the lower-left corner. Another kid's eyes were gone, gouged out. A girl to Freddys left had slit wrists and a slit throat. They all had various injuries, all different, save a few that Freddy used more than once because of the pain they caused.
The children the raised their right hands simultaneously and Freddy gave a loud "What the fuck!"
All of the kids had miniature copies of Freddy's glove. They then started to walk towards him and Freddy involuntarily took a step back. Just then, Zach stepped into the background wearing the same outfit as last time.
"Hi children," he said, "having fun?"
They all nodded.
"Good, I'm glad, but I've got a suggestion."
All the kids looked at him intently and Freddy shouted, "Who the fuck do you think you are?"
He was ignored and the children kept their eyes on Zach.
"I was thinking we could play with him even MORE!"
All the children jumped up and down, clapping and shouting like a 5 year old when he or she gets surprised with that new toy they wanted.
"Good, I'm so happy you agree, now lets go play."
The children then resumed their march and Zach went with them. One of the children lunged at Freddy and cut his leg. Collapsing on his wounded leg, Freddy looked up as another kid cut his left arm. Going on the offensive, Freddy swiped at one of the kids, slicing her throat and killing her. The affray continued and more and more kids fell but were swiftly replaced and Freddy sustaind more and more injuries until finally Zach came forward and as soon as Freddys panic peaked, Zach snapped his fingers and Freddy woke up.
Tracy was just beginning to wonder when Zach would be back when he walked out of the trees laughing his ass of.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"You should've been there," he said between laughs, "I scared the living shit out of him!"
Zach began to laugh so hard that he started rolling around on the ground.
"The...look...on his...face..." Zach continued to laugh, "you could see it, the panic on his face...ha ha, he was scared, it was obvious!"
Tracy began to laugh to, but for a different reason.
"To think I'm in love with you, what am I thinking!"
"I don't know," Zach said, getting over his laughing fit, "but since we can't procedde until tomorrow, why don't you stay here?"
"I think I will." Tracy said as she settled down.
And so that's how things went, they stayed together all night but going no farther than kissing. As everyone else sat plotting next kills or planning to sneak into the steel mill, the two lovebirds just enjoyed each others company.
