Disclaimers are in the prologue.
Here goesthe last of the battles. Enjoy.
Candyman had decided that he was going to go for Pinhead, as the demon was interrupting his plans for vengeance. As he walked toward an unwary Pinhead, the Tall Man stepped between the two of them. Candyman stopped short.
"Get out of the way, old man," Candyman growled.
The Tall Man only smiled. "Let's see what you've got…boy."
Angered, Candyman raised his right arm and stalked towards the Tall Man. The Tall Man only stood there, waiting for him to strike. Candyman brought his hook down on the Tall Man, and incredibly, the Tall Man caught it. Candyman struggled, trying to at least hit the old man with it, but the Tall Man was much stronger than he looked. After a few moments of pushing and grunting, Candyman was thrown back a few feet, face-first onto the ground. The Tall Man, still standing, began panting a little, as did Candyman.
Candyman pushed himself up and turned back to face the Tall Man. "No more games."
"On the contrary, boy," the Tall Man said. "The game has just begun."
Candyman ran towards the Tall Man, hoping to take him by surprise. Even though there was time enough to move out of the way, the Tall Man stood his ground, not moving a muscle. Candyman reared his arm back and drove the hook deep into the Tall Man's stomach. The Tall Man grunted, a surprised look on his face, as Candyman pulled upward, drawing a crunching sound from the Tall Man's insides.
Candyman grunted as the Tall Man's thick yellow blood flowed out and covered his arm. After a moment of twitching, the Tall Man lay still as Candyman removed his hook from the limp body. Candyman smiled at his victory.
After a few moments, Candyman's smile faded. He looked over as he heard the sound of something exploding up from beneath the ground. In the middle of the street nearby, two waist-high steel cylinders, a couple feet apart from each other, had burst through the concrete. Another few second later, the Tall Man's face suddenly appeared between the two cylinders, glaring at Candyman. The rest of the Tall Man came into view as he stepped forward and stood to full height, his body completely intact.
Candyman was not sure what had just happened. He looked back down to make sure the Tall Man was still dead, and, sure enough, the body was still there on the ground before him. He looked back toward the living Tall Man.
"I'll kill you as many times as it takes," Candyman said, pointing his hook at the Tall Man.
The Tall Man raised an eyebrow and reached into his suit coat. He withdrew his hand, holding a Sentinel. Candyman again began to walk towards the Tall Man.
Hearing a scuffle nearby, the Tall Man whipped his head around to see Michael Myers struggling to fight off Leatherface, who was lowering his chainsaw on Michael. He waited until Michael saw him, then rolled the Sentinel in his direction. Once Michael was taken care of, the Tall Man turned back to Candyman.
Candyman swung forward at the Tall Man, who dodged. He grabbed Candyman's arm with one hand and backhanded him with the other. Candyman hit the ground, but he quickly swiped his hook towards the Tall Man's legs. The hook connected, and was imbedded into his calf.
The Tall Man, unaffected by this attack, kicked Candyman in the face with his other leg. Candyman rolled over, his hook still penetrating the Tall Man's calf. Candyman gave a tremendous yank and unhooked himself from the Tall Man, drawing more of that mucousy yellow liquid.
Another Sentinel rolled out of the Tall Man's suit sleeve and into his hand. He held it up and eyes Candyman, who was still sprawled on the ground. "It is time to end this game now…for you."
The blades extended from the sphere.
Author's Notes: Now that's what I call a cliffhanger. But don't worry, I posted the next chapter along with it, so…move on to the next chapter.
