Note: Okay everyone, really sorry for the long delay, but I promise that updates will be quicker. Wanted to get this up tonight because Laura, whose birthday fic this was for is not feeling well anymore, and I hope that this chapter will cheer her up, hope you like it Laura and others. Also as I stated in the last chapter, here's where the story reaches M rated standards, so look out for plenty and plenty of blood. You have been warned. So enough talking now, on with the chapter, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 2: Grudge Match

The coliseum could only be descried as magnificent and colossus, even for those against sin and pain could not deny the sheer power and fear that was given off by this place. Its pillars tall and reaching high into the endless black sky, as going along them lay rows of seats filled with all the Cenobites of the Labyrinth. There were many, all of different shapes and sizes, but with disturbing disfigurements, some more grotesque than the others. Many followers of Leviathan were classed in ranks, the lower Cenobites that were still learning the ways of pain and pleasure's co-existence waited at the back, while those more experienced would have a front row seat of the action below.

The ground itself was like an entire World War battle area closed into a small base, however to those who would have the unfortunate fate of fighting would vomit at the mass of the area, or it could just be from the fear of the fights approaching. Sand drenched in the blood of many gladiators that have fallen before, chains scattered around the jagged rocks that lay about and around the arena were four caged doors carved into the wall.

Meanwhile, high upon the main throne, just above the battleground was none other than the lead Cenobite himself, Xipe Totec, and his longest serving Cenobites; Chatterer, Butterball and Nikoletta. Beside them were Pistonhead and Dreamer who had also had the privilege of watching this tradition from the most cherished place in the Gladiator arena. Behind them was Angelique, not at all bothered by what was going down below, while Skinner stood by her side like a loyal dog to its master.

Xipe, Pinhead rose from his throne and held his hand up signalling for silence that he got without another seconds hesitation. Once all was silent, he addressed his fellow Cenobites. ''Brothers! Sisters! We are here to witness a most satisfying tradition in the ways of flesh, today, we shall see the blood spill and the skin torn of the two most dreaded 'Slashers', that have taken the lives of many of God's little clay creations. As well as two Angels, beings that have fought against our God for many years, stopping him from spreading his ways of forbidden desires. And a bounty hunter who has murdered many of our kind in cold blood for sheer thrill! This is a very exquisite show! Pistonhead, if you will!''

''Oh, never thought you would ask!'' Pistonhead said with glee, but not before turning to his beloved Dreamer. ''Be right back babe, got to go make my big moment!''

''Pistonhead!'' Pinhead barked at his annoying comrade. Reluctantly Pistonhead walked away from Dreamer and towards the edge to address the crowd. His confidence and booming voice was perfect for strengthening the atmosphere of this tradition.

''As Xipe here has said…two Slashers of Earth, two Angels, and a demon bounty hunter! But just who are they really?'' He asked the crowd rhetorically.

As he went on, Nikoletta leaned in closer to Pinhead so only he could hear her words. ''I do wish I could just slit his throat, that way we would have silence from his obnoxious…''

''Let it be,'' Pinhead interrupted. ''I do not care how Pistonhead would begin, as long as the end result stays the same. And I see Frederick Krueger and Jason Voorhees experience the pain they have inflicted on their victims be placed upon them tenfold and more!''

''And of the others?''

''Sabner was once a rival of mine; I would work to find the damned and let them experience the darkness of the pleasures they seek. And the Angels would always save as many souls as they could to give them a…heaven like greeting. Sabner was once one of the best, until he was mocked and banished. His sister Circe is still young and poises no threat. While Kronzar is a brute and nothing more, all the demons he has encountered are child's play, if I were too choose he would be the first to suffer in the ring. No, they are not important…the slashers are the key.''

At that moment, something was going on in the arena below. One of the carved door markings on the wall started crackling with blue light, the wind picked up causing mini sandstorms and rattling the chains off the rocks as three figures stepped out of the light, revealing the three Gladiators that had already been captured, Sabner and Circe the Angels and Kronzar the large bounty hunter.

With those three now before the crowd, Pistonhead could address them. ''And here we have our Gladiators; Sabner and Circe Aura, two…well use to be two of the most feared adversaries of the Cenobites for Centuries. And Kronzar, a bounty hunter that doesn't know his place. In fact, it was our new and rising recruit Skinner that took him down, come on Skinner give us a wave!'' He put the attention of the newest Cenobite, who just simply stared back at Pistonhead with no emotion and a stance that showed he meant business. ''Alright maybe later,'' Pistonhead continued. ''And let us not forget we also have two more Gladiators waiting to arrive, and here they come!''

And that was when Freddy was the first to step out of the light and emerge into the ring. Immediately awe-struck by the sight around him, seeing hundreds of Cenobites looking down on him all cursing his name and staring at him with their dark black eyes…at least from the ones that had eyes. ''I'm defiantly not in Springwood anymore!'' He muttered.

Following behind him was Jason, who also was surprised by the surroundings and seeing so many Cenobites around him. However, there was no fear, he just simply saw them as more sacks of meat he would have to hack away to get his freedom. Freddy noticed Jason staring off into the crowd and decided to have a little fun. ''What's the matter? Stage fright?''

Jason's head spun round to face Freddy; now that he had his powers and Jason was free the two could continue their battle. Although they would have to postpone that for another time as the door on the opposite side of theirs also glowed in a blue light and shadow figures could be seen coming through. Just then, something erupted from underneath the sand next to the Gladiators…a weapons stand.

''Quickly, arm yourselves!'' Sabner called out as he and his sister reached for the first swords they could grab. Kronzar reached for a large War hammer that was about the size of Jason's whole body. The two slashers looked at each other once more, willing to carry on with their scuffle but knew that they would have to postpone for a later date. They both ran over to the weapons stand, looking for anything they could use…and were quite surprised with what they saw.

Jason had managed to a large double-sided machete, curved and potent with a purple liquid on the edge. As the liquid dripped to the ground, it burned and fizzled its way through…acid! It was like the giant just gave a nod of approval as he left the stand. Freddy also had found a weapon to his liken, a modified version of his clawed glove, two of them. He put them both on his hand, and then metal started making its way up all along his arms until it reached his elbows, knives jutting out as the five main claws on each hand grew in length. He smiled in sadistic satisfaction. ''Now that's what I'm talking about!''

Perfect timing as well, because their opponents had stepped out of their portal to reveal themselves. Covered in armour, and armed with large swords and daggers, they looked like humanoid bugs; each had four arms and mandibles that could make them quite formidable foes. All the Gladiators knew that…well except for Freddy. ''This is it? All I need is a can of buy spray.''

''Never underestimate your opponents!'' Sabner instructed. ''You may be powerful Freddy, but it will take all of us too…''

''Blah, blah, blah, less talking more hacking!'' Freddy snapped back before taking off like a jet towards the Bugs thanks to the return of his powers. SLASH! In the blink of an eye, five blinding white slashes struck across the first bug, and it was split in two, it's green blood spurring all over as what was left of the body fell to the ground. Freddy was standing behind the other bugs, grinning with pride. ''Oh come on, I've fought screwed up teens that have more guts then these guys!''

GLITCH! He was caught off guard however as something stabbed him in the back of his knee, the dagger going right through his bone and with a twist of the dagger, Freddy's leg was almost snapped in two. He cried in pain and crumbled to the ground, looking behind him he saw the top half of the bug warrior he cut stabbing its dagger further along his leg. Blood oozing from the wound. ''Ah! You fucking creep!'' SLASH! Freddy then struck with his claws across the bug's face, cutting it to pieces and sending the top body flying back.

''We must help him!'' Sabner said.

''Why?'' Kronzar replied. ''Maybe this will teach him a lesson!''

''We Angels never let a life simply drift away like this!'' Circe told him.

''And we need as many of us alive, this is after all only our first test, let's go!'' The three of them charged towards the remaining bug warriors, there were at least six more of them to go. As they engaged in battle, Jason waited behind, there was no time for the other Gladiators to realise as the bug warriors were on top of them before they could even blink.

Sabner and Circe both had one each, sword clashed and fists were used as the Angels tried to pummel the bugs into the ground. However, the agility was too much, and soon the Angels were being forced back against the wall, the only thing keeping their heads still on their shoulders were their sword skills. Kronzar was busy with two of them both attacking; however he was too much of a beast for them to do much damage. Fainting with his hammer, he caught one of them off guard BAAAM! And with a single blow of his hammer, the bug was sent flying across the arena and crashed into the wall, bones snapping on impact.

Another tried its luck with the injured Freddy, however just because his leg was bleeding badly, that didn't mean the Springwood Slasher was out of the fight. The bug slashed and jabbed with his sword, but Freddy's blinding speed meant he could block all of the attacks, and jab himself with his claws. Holes forming all over the bug's body as Freddy kept stabbing as much as possible until it was near impossible for the bug to stand let alone fight. And with that, Freddy slashed his claw across the bug's throat, green blood gushing out like a geyser. And then Freddy grabbed it around the neck before slamming it into the ground, causing the head to come completely off.

That meant the only one without a competitor charged towards Jason, who was still motionless with his weapon. GLITCH! The bug warrior stabbed his sword into Jason's chest. GLITCH! And quickly pulled out its dagger to jab into Jason's forehead. Despite this, Jason didn't fall, or even move…at least until he quickly grabbed the bug's arm and twisted it so hard the arm was in the opposite direction of how it should be.

Still holding onto the bug's had; Jason grabbed the dagger out of his forehead GLITCH! And stabbed it into the bug's shoulder with enough force to crush it into the ground. Jason twisted and pushed his fist further and further down until the bug was crushed underneath. With that one out of the way, Jason could now pull the sword out of his chest, he looked as if he was about to throw it away until he noticed Circe being attacked by her bug warrior opponent. An idea in his head, Jason positioned the sword in his hand and threw it like a javelin, landing a direct hit on the bug sending it flying into the wall and sticking it in place like a dart.

Circe turned to Jason. ''Many thanks to you Jason!'' She called out to him. He ignored her thanks however, and moved over slowly to his next target, which was the bug warrior fighting against Kronzar. The bug warrior was doing all it could to avoid the giant hammer, but by doing so it wound up in the path of Jason's. Who then grabbed the bug's neck and leg; lifting it over his head, Jason then proceeded to rip the bug in two, the hand holding the neck crushing it in the process, causing the green liquid to spill all over his body. It may not be the familiar red colour he was use to, but to Jason, blood was blood.

The last one still fighting was up against Sabner; his incredible sword skills and power were countered by the bug's amazing speed and agility as it dodged every attack…well at least every attack from Sabner. But what it didn't realise was that it was being lead right towards Freddy, who was lining up for the finishing slash. ''I love the feeling of a bug being crushed in my hand almost as much as any child!'' He grinned as he slashed forward with his right claw…

Only to see the bug was already being split in half by Jason's double-edged machete, the blood spitting in Freddy's face and mouth. He coughed and spat out as much of it as he could, however he was more disgusted with Jason than anything. ''You fucking momma's boy, that one was mine!'' He hissed until he heard the cries of another buy, the one still stuck in the wall with the sword stuck in it. Freddy's smile returned as he ran towards the bug, hoping to at least double his kill count since getting here…

But then he saw the double-edge machete fly over his head, and strike right on the bug's head, killing it instantly. ''No, that was mine!'' Freddy called out before turning to Jason, who was in turn staring right back at him. ''That is it hockey-puck! You are not taking my glory down here as well!'' He flicked both his claws, gesturing that he was ready for a fight, which Jason was more than willing to accept.

But before Jason or Freddy could attack each other, they both felt the pain of the black spots on the necks return, causing both of them to collapse to their knees. With both of them down, they could do nothing as chains came out of nowhere and hooked into their skins holding them in place. As they were stuck in place, the other Gladiators stood next to them, all eyes now fixed on the main throne and the Cenobites that were there.

''Well folks!'' Pistonhead called out. ''What an upset we have here! Not only have all the gladiators survived their battle, but have emerged victorious with flying colours! Anything more to add Xipe?''

Pinhead rose from his seat and looked down upon the Gladiators. ''Well done, I applaud you all for your efforts. You have delivered us a show that was most exciting, and could quench the thirst of any blood seeking. Taking down that many foes, especially ones of their calibre is no tease, however this is only the beginning of your eternal struggle for survival.''

Listening to his words, Freddy laughed manically, loud enough for the whole stadium to hear. ''That's rich Pinhead coming from you! You've probably never had to struggle in your fucking afterlife, you always hide behind the skirts of your followers like a cowardly little shit!''

Pinhead's eyebrow merely twitched at Freddy's vulgar words, the Slasher that he controlled and imprisoned did not intimidate him. Sabner was the first to speak to Freddy over his outburst. ''Freddy please, we have won our fight, do not make things worse!''

''Save it Tinkerbell!'' Freddy snapped at him before turning back to Pinhead. ''I bet you've never even set foot in this arena, you've never fought anything like we just did. You're just a scared man that lets others do the talking for you!''

All Pinhead felt was amusement. ''This is most hypocritical for a man who is in this position because he relied on the strength and power of another!'' He gestured to Jason.

''Only because I needed too!'' Freddy continued with his rant. ''If you're so powerful, why don't you come down here!''

''Freddy stop!'' Sabner persisted but Freddy was having none of it.

''That's right, I'm calling you out Pinhead! Me and you, right here, right now!''

Pinhead laughed darkly, almost embarrassed for Freddy with what he was asking for. ''Calling out an opponent after all just having an exhausting fight? So unwise.''

Freddy merely grinned back. ''Sticks and stones may break my bones, but a pansy, tricky Cenobite can never hurt me!''

The whole stadium was in an uproar with Freddy, even his fellow gladiators were cursing him; he had just come out of a fight, does he really believe he can take the Dark Prince of Pain now? Even the other Cenobites couldn't help but feel sympathy for Freddy. Angelique approached Pinhead and whispered in his ear. ''Ignore his taunts Xipe, you don't have to do a thing he suggests.''

''I know princess,'' Pinhead replied to her. ''I have the control; I choose what I want of our gladiators. And I want to humiliate Frederick further for all the trouble he has caused us and the waste of a power he's used, it will be exhilarating to watch his pride crack and bleed just as his body will physically!'' Getting his message across to his Cenobite members clear, he turned to Freddy, cold smile plastered on his face. ''Very well, I accept your challenge!''

To Be Continued…

So how was that? Good? Sorry if it wasn't, wanted to get this up as a cheer-up for Laura, hope you feel better soon. As I said, there would be blood. This is the first time I've really got the chance to have Freddy or Jason make a bloody mess, so I wanted to go all out LOL. Anyway, next chapter will be Pinhead getting into the action. Who will win? And will it just be Freddy he fights? Or is Jason feeling lucky as well? Until next time, thanks and take care!
