ANOES 8: The Beginning of the End

Zach rushed at Freddy, rage filled the scream that came from his mouth. A red glow surrounding him. Freddy backed up, preparing to defend against whatever attack his nemisis would launch. Zach pulled his arm back and swung at Freddy, who brought his arm up to defend.........but the blow never fell. Freddy lowerd his arm only to be doubled over in excruciating pain, Zach had delivered a power punch right to his gut!

"Death of that bitch real........." Freddy didn't get to finish his sentence as Zach delivered a jaw-breaking uppercut, sending Freddy flying into the air.

Freddy stopped himself in time to duck under another attack from Zach before stabing him in the gut with his claw. Freddy pulled his claw out and elbowed Zach straight down to the ground. Zach opened his eyes when he was a few feet from the ground but before he could do anything, Freddy kicked him into one of the buildings.

"Oh come on Zach," Freddy mocked, "I thought the death of your bitch would've made you a little angrier."

Zach said nothing, although he could here him just fine. His power was growing and he could feel it. He had known for a long time that his power was linked to his anger but he had never known it's limits, and that's only IF there were any! Freddy made another comment and Zach felt his anger and power spike. Letting out a rage fill yell, Zach's power exploded out ward and destroyed the rubble he was buried under. Freddy jumped back to avoid the debris and stared at Zach. He was crouched down and twitching. Hie eyes were glowing red and the aura around him began to resemble fire. In his head, memories of him and Tracy kept poping up and every time they did, the fact that she was dead came back to him and intensified his anger. His power wanted out, his power was growing and every time a memory and the fact that she was dead came back, he was pushed closer and closer to losing control. A memory came back, his and tracy's first night together, he remembered Freddy killed her. His anger and power went to his right arm.

'let me out here,' his power said.

Zach pulled his arm back, ready to obey.

'NO!' his self control said as he jerked his arm back to his chest.

'Scream' his power said, 'let me out in a scream.'

Zach's chest threw itself forward and Zach threw his arms around his chest to maintain self control.

His power became frustrated, 'Come on, why won't you let me out? You know it's the only way to win,'

'I know. I know,' his self control said back, 'but I could destroy this world if I do.'

Another memory came back, this one was his and Tracy's first kiss.

'She's dead,' his power said, 'and Freddy killed her.'

That almost did. A short powerful shout escaped Zach's lips and a shockwave exploded from Zach. Lightning began to course over Zach's body. He managed to gain control over himself again, but it was proving difficult. It did however, plunged him into a well of memories. They were all memories of times when he'd been mad or even irritated. The emotions of those memories poured into his current state, feeding the insatiable hunger that was his anger. Zach's power was almost uncntrolable. His twitching became more and more violent, the lightning intensified, and the cuts he had sustained frm Freddy began to glow.

'I have to hold back, I MUST hold back!'

"What's wrong Zach?" Freddy asked, "Did the death of your little whore upset you?"

That did it. That was the catalyst that triggered the destruction of any shred of self control Zach had. In that instant, every memory that Zach had been angry in came back, like the water before the cataclysmal tidal wave and then.........

.........the wave came crashing down.
