Chapter 1: Fellow Gladiators
The sky above the Labyrinth was like a painting, it didn't look real yet at the same time was so captivating you felt like reaching up and touching it just to be sure. Dark blue clouds that whipped around the bridges and catwalks of the main area surrounding the God of the Labyrinth itself, Leviathan, hovering above, huge and intimidating, its power and presence was felt within every molecule of this place. Rays of dark light shining at all angles, until a figure approached it.
''Xipe, my favourite son, come forward!'' It spoke. Leviathan's voice itself could make any brave warrior quake and tremble.
Pinhead approached his lord and master, stopping and kneeling down in respect to his God and creator. ''Lord, I have done what you ask. The two that have evaded us are captured and to become our new gladiators.''
''Excellent, for two long now, the ones known as Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees have evaded us. But now they shall only serve the purpose of my creations pleasure, at their expense of pain. When shall the first match be?''
''As soon as you give the order!'' Pinhead responded.
''Good, then go fore and tell my followers to be ready. For the gladiators shall commence battle immediately.''
''And how shall they face first my lord?'' Pinhead asked, eternally faithful to the God that if it could smile it would.
''Surprise me.'' Was all Leviathan said.
''Very well, and does it matter if the two should survive.''
''No Xipe, however I do expect that the two should last the first fight, if their reputation does proceed them. After all, Krueger does possess the powers of the Dream Demons, if trained and utilised properly, his strength could have rivalled our own. And Voorhees has without doubt come the closets to simply butchering his way out of the Labyrinth, and even after all those years of cutting into his rotted flesh and blood, he has made no sound of anguish.''
As Leviathan went on, Pinhead couldn't hide the feeling that Leviathan was suggesting something. It had been no secret that the great God respected all those with power; after all, he is the God of desire. Freddy and Jason have been two he has long since wished to become a part of their following, but Pinhead knew those two could not follow others and were only in this for themselves. While Pinhead had felt pity for those two, it was as if Leviathan had suggested he would turn the two…
''Is something else troubling you Xipe?'' Leviathan spoke, interrupting Pinhead's thoughts.
''No my lord, nothing.'' Pinhead answered.
''Very well, now go and prepare the first battle!'' With that said Pinhead bowed his head once more and made his way out. He knew Leviathan could read his mind, so the God would know what was really on Pinhead's mind. But thanks to Pinhead's long and faithful service to their ways, Leviathan knew without a doubt there was no sense of betrayal in the lead Cenobite. The closest thing that would come to it would be Pinhead's feelings for another…one that wasn't a Cenobite.
Pinhead had reached one of the many hallways of the Labyrinth, the walls littered with the bones and blood of the many sufferers that have been dragged along here. Even fingernails from some who have tried to pull themselves free were etched into the walls, Pinhead thought this to be a work of art. As he continued on his path, he noticed another presence behind him, and it became clear who it was as both arms slithered along Pinhead's shoulders and across his chest.
''It seems Leviathan shares your thoughts on the destiny of those two, only he may accomplish them.'' Angelique whispered in Pinhead's ear.
''Those two will never become Cenobites as long as I stand, they are explorers without a destination unlike us.''
''It could be beneficial!'' Angelique tried to reason with him. ''They already have power; they are just merely children that need to be taught. Is it fear that prevents you from fulfilling those two's true potential?''
''I do not fear them!'' He responded firmly.
''Of course not Xipe, you fear no one. Except maybe Leviathan himself, haven't you ever thought with the combined strength of the Cenobites as well as Freddy and Jason, we could rise up and take our place over…'' She was cut off as Pinhead grabbed her throat and slammed her hard into the wall, hoisting her up so her feet weren't touching the ground. ''It was just a suggestion.'' She coughed out.
''Rebelling against my lord? You best watch your mouth princess,'' He sneered. ''Or I shall make you suffer to the point you shall beg for death's sweet release!'' After a moment or two he finally let go, Angelique slumped to the ground coughing up tiny specks of blood. Pinhead walked away from her, feeling that no more needed to be said, but Angelique wasn't done until she had the last word.
''Your feelings for the human have made you soft,'' She spat out. This caused Pinhead to stop in his tracks, but he didn't turn to face her and instead listened as she continued. ''I know there is a part of you Xipe that has long to over throw Leviathan and rule all with an iron fist. But that human has weakened you, and it's sickening!''
With no reason to reply to this taunt, Pinhead simply walked away leaving Angelique to pick herself up from the ground. Both not knowing that each felt pity for the other.
''Oh God, how much did I drink last night?'' Freddy groaned groggily as he tried to get up. He was lying face first in the dirt; he raised his head to check his surroundings. He was in some dark cave, chains and hooks all over the walls and weird small bat like creatures hanging from the ceilings picking away at whatever flesh was in the skulls that hung from the hooks sticking out. ''Oh yeah I'm dead again, hate it when that happens!''
He finally got up onto his own two feet, and then noticed someone else in front of him, Jason still unconscious and chained up to the wall like a bear in the circus. It took Freddy a moment to shrug off the dizziness before he smiled with horrible glee at the easy pray in front of him. ''Aw, someone left me a present. Let's open it and see what's on the inside!'' He raised his glove and was ready to strike, until he felt the worst pain imaginable coming from his neck. A stinging sensation that caused him to collapse onto his knees and cry out in agony. After a few seconds the pain stopped, his mind was numb and vision blurry.
''If you want to carve into flesh, you'll have to wait for the arena!'' Another voice spoke. Freddy turned to the other side of the cave and was greeted by a large figure. Standing well over seven feet tall, all muscle covered in gladiatorial style armour. His skin dark red with black tattoos going across his arms and chest. His teeth jagged, nose and ears pointed, he was a fearful sight, but nothing Freddy hasn't seen before.
''You know, Jason over there has a face only a mother could love,'' Freddy began his taunt. ''You on the other hand look like you just proposed to the ugly stick!''
''Oh great, a vulgar one!'' The giant red demon muttered to someone else behind. From behind him there were two more figures; both looked far more human, one male and the other female. The only unusual descriptive feature about them was their dark blue hair and cracks all over their bodies with blue and golden light shinning lightly from within, like human sized light bulbs.
''Let him by Kronzar!'' The male blue figure spoke calmly. ''Any new prisoner of the Cenobites is a comrade to us.''
''Comrade? This a Cenobite Boy Scout club or something?'' Freddy mumbled scratching at his neck where the pain came from before. ''What did those gothic punks do to me?''
The one called Kronzar pulled down a piece of armour around his neck, revealing a small black dot. ''They're called the Agony Callers. Direct, agonising simulations that target pain receptors, all of them. Imagine the worst pain you've ever felt, times a thousand, now imagine that pain being called upon your mind and body whenever the Cenobites desire, or you try to strike down a comrade.''
Freddy grunted in frustration at the news. ''Always wondered what would happen if those Cenobites got tired of dirty work and thought of other ways of keeping their damned ones in check. Oh well, won't be a problem once I get out of here!''
''There is no way out of here!'' The blue male spoke.
''Say's who Twilight?'' Freddy mocked.
Once those words left Freddy's lips, the female grabbed the handle to her sword tucked into her holster. ''How dare you speak to my brother in that tone!''
''Enough Circe!'' Her brother calmed her down before turning to Freddy. ''You must understand, that were you are now, there is no escape from it.''
''And why not?''
''The Cenobites now own our souls; we each have been their enemies as you must have been. Now that they have us they intend to keep us, and will experience great pleasure from our pain.''
''Sorry bub, but that's my job,'' Freddy said. ''Listen, I don't know about you, Red Hulk or sexy here, but I've escaped from Pinhead and his monks plenty of times. I've even got friends up top who share a joke about the amount of times we've gotten away from…''
Before he could continue, the pain from the black scar on his neck returned causing him to collapse, or he at least would have if the blue male hadn't stopped him and tried to help him up. ''Don't fucking touch me queer!'' Freddy snapped trying to scratch with his finger knives across the man's face, however on contact with his skin, the knives snapped clean off. ''What the hell?'' Freddy gasped in shock seeing his artwork destroyed before his very eyes.
''Those toys would have been useless anyway!'' Kronzar spoke stepping on one of the largest pieces left, grinding it to dust.
''Useless for what?'' Freddy hissed as his anger boiled.
''What the Cenobites brought us here for, a tournament of strength, a battle of Gladiators!'' The blue male said. ''My name is Sabner Aura! This is my younger sister Circe; we are what you humans would describe as Angels. And this is Kronzar, demon bounty hunter! And you are?''
''Pissed out of my God damn mind!'' Freddy mumbled still trying to register all of this. ''So it looks like the Cenobites have finally got me. Oh well, if it's a show that they want, I'll give them one they won't soon forget.''
Kronzar's patience with Freddy was already wearing thin. ''So do you have a name? Or are you not really an enemy of the Cenobites? Perhaps their pet!'' He mocked.
''Don't get your purple shorts in a twist big boy!'' Freddy mumbled to him before turning his attention to all three of them. ''Lady and gentlemen…and the others. You are looking at the Dream Demon himself, the Dream monstrosity, children's death, the Springwood Slasher, the Nightmare on Elm Street himself…Freddy Krueger! Please, please, hold your applauds.''
''Never heard of you.'' Circe said.
''Not yet you haven't doll face, but I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to get acquainted.'' He flirted with the Angel, who just found him as repulsive as anyone else.
Sabner finally found the time to look away from Freddy and turn his attention to the other human chained up to the wall, wearing the unusual battle mask across his face. ''And who is your human comrade?''
''Who?'' Freddy questioned. Unsure at first of what the Angel meant until he saw Sabner's gazing at Jason, who was still unconscious. ''Oh that! No one important, just a boy that loves his mother too much and has the brain the size of a peanut.''
Circe walked forward until she was within striking distant of Jason, she inspected him, seeing his skin moulded and almost peeling off. ''The Cenobites would not have kept him if he was of no importance.''
''Jeez, even in Hell this fucktard is getting all the attention!'' Freddy said to himself before walking over to Circe and leaning on Jason's shoulder. ''Alright sweet cheeks, I'll tell you all about good old Jason here. He's a dumb fuck that can't tie his own shoes, that gets travel sick real easy, and gets off on hacking away at hormonally challenged teenagers that come near his home. Jason is a real waste of space, except down below. You know that his pinkie finger is probably bigger than his…''
BAM! Freddy never got to finish that sentence as Jason pummelled him the face, knocking him clear across the cave. Kronzar and Sabner both brought out their weapons, however Jason couldn't break free of the chains and could not lay so much as a finger on Circe, who merely watched him with great interest. Soon enough, the black scar on Jason's neck caused him pain as well, and forced him to stop what he was doing.
''You call him nothing,'' Circe shouted out to Freddy. ''And yet he knocks you aside with such little effort.''
Freddy groaned and grunted as he picked himself up. ''I could knock you all over the place given the chance,'' He whispered so she couldn't hear, then a though came to mind. ''That hit didn't hurt as much as it should have, and being knocked about thirty feet should have done more…unless…'' He decided to put his theory to the test, holding out his hand which quickly engulfed in flames surprising the other three. ''Oh yeah baby, I've still got my powers! Those Cenobites think they're so smart…'' Then just as quickly as it started, the flames died down and disappeared from Freddy's grasp.
''You think the Cenobites would be that stupid?'' Kronzar spoke. ''You won't be able to use your powers fully until your first match...'' Just then, a blinding blue light erupted from the wall next to them, and grew larger as if it was taking the shape of some kind of door. Once fully open, Sabner and Circe stepped into it with Kronzar following, but not before turning to Freddy one last time. ''And it looks like you won't have to wait long!''
To Be Continued…
How was this chapter? Good? So Freddy and Jason have met their fellow gladiators, next chapter will be their first match. Quick note, after this chapter the rating will change to M rated because there will be blood in the next chapter...lots and lots of blood. But then again, put Freddy and Jason in a Gladiator arena, what did you expect? LOL. Until the next chapter, take care everyone and thanks for reading!
