Chapter 9 – The trap

Freddy's power was stronger than ever. "Ah, nothing like having the fear of adult men to make you feel alive!" he grinned aloud to himself. Yet he began to feel a very farmiller sensation. "Ah, some have decided to fall asleep! This shall be wonderful!"

Freddy went to invade the dream of the closest mind he sensed. Not surprisingly enough, he found himself inside a home. "Honey! I'm home!" he called lout aloud. His eyes saw the tops of three brunettes. "What's for dinner?" he asked. Noticing the figments haven't moved. He came into the room and saw them vanish.

"You don't belong here!" came the voice of the Undertaker. He wore his civilian clothing and stood just behind the killer.

Freddy turned with an amused smirk. "Oh come on Mark, I needed a place to stay. So, evict me!" Freddy laughed when he called out the Undertaker's real name. He tried to jump Mark. Yet something large and black stood in Freddy's way before he could land a blow. He slowly looked up, and locked eyes onto a man with only the whites of his eyes. "What the hell are you?" he demanded of the man and pulled away.

"He is the personification of evil, and has a little trick to show you. Go for it Undertaker"

"With pleasure Mark" The dark man raised his arms, causing a thick mist to fill the dream room. Freddy became lost and confused.

"You dare challenge me! Two can play at this!" Freddy began to contort the room as well, changing the setting to a cemetery and mass open graves. "You think you can out wit me do you!"

"Not alone"

Freddy turned and saw Kane standing behind him. In dark clothing "YOU!" he hissed. "Kane" he spoke with a sneer.

"Actually, I'm not Kane…. He is" Freddy turned, standing beside the dark man the Undertaker somehow summoned, stood the monster Kane, in his gear and all.

"What trickery is this? You cannot do this!"

"Well, we can. Same minds, different people, different mindsets. I do believe there is one place where you can do no harm!" Announced Mark.

Taker had his arm stretched out to Freddy, yet Freddy wasn't prepared to go down, he charged the dark man and stabbed him in the chest with great satisfaction. Yet grew worried when no blood came from him. "You stab the Undertaker, a man who has died, time and time again. A soul that will never rest in peace, foolish move" Mark announced. Taker's body held Freddy's hands in place as Taker placed his hand onto of the deranged killer's head.

"What are you doing!" Freddy demanded.

"This" Freddy was turned into a single beam of light and was thrown into Kane. Kane's head snapped back, yet a sinister grin came over his face.

"Whoa" whispered Mark.

"Yeah…. Where did he go?"

There was a grin on the face of the Deadman. "There is a place where every thought is a nightmare and no dream will ever be pure. The mindset of Jacob Goodnight!"

There was a bright flash as Kane's eyes shot open. He was breathing heavily as he looked about the room. "He's gone," Taker announced.

"What happened to Freddy?" questioned Hunter.

Kane turned to Taker, for he wasn't even sure of what just happened. "He's trapped in Kane's mind. When he's in the mindset of Jacob Goodnight"

There was an odd silence in the room. "Is that safe to do?" asked Khali.

Taker didn't know for certain. "Kane has manifested himself into a different mindset, as the Undertaker has in mine. Kane also allowed Jacob Goodnight to have a mind of his own. Perhaps… perhaps it's for the best"

"I hope so Deadman, who knows what Freddy and Jacob could do?" Triple H muttered.

In Kane's mind….

Freddy looked about the place he was in, an old, run down hotel. He nodded to the accommodations. "The freak has good taste I can say that much" he grinned as he went to the front counter. He ranged a rusted old bell. "Room service please!" he called aloud not expecting anyone to answer his call, the simple ding of an elevator caught his attention though, he saw nothing but flies fester out of the elevator, it didn't bother Freddy the least bit till he turned back around. There stood a man, who striking resemblance reminded him of Kane. He tried to strike or at least thrown a punch at Jacob. Yet the being was too much, Jacob grabbed Freddy by the neck and threw him over the counter top.

Freddy was pinned to the ground as Jacob stared into his eyes. "I see it… it's there…" he said in a sadistic tone. Freddy tried to break free, as Jacob's razor sharp finger nails began digging into his eyes…..
