Authors Note: If anyone's been reading this (and I hope that there are at least a few of you .) Sorry that it's taken so long for me to update, and that the update is so pitifully small on top of that. But a tragic thing has befallen me. I have lost my computer! Okay, so I didn't lose it. It just broke. So, I am reduced to writing by hand and typing things up at the local library whenever I have a spare couple of hours (and feel like dragging my lazy ass down to the library on top of that) So new chapters will come...although they may take their sweet time in arriving.

Shame on the Night

-"You don't care what you've done so I know I'd better run. Shame on the night for places I've been and what I've seen for giving me the strangest dreams"

"Why isn't she dead?"

Freddy glanced over his shoulder to see Lord Zedd striding towards him, his 'Z' staff pointed accusingly at his back. The shift from the dreamscape to the dark dimension had been as seamless and sudden as it had the first time. Seems that whenever the whim overtook Lord Zedd to have a little business meeting, he had no choice but to attend. Freddy decided that it was inexcusably rude, and no one was rude to Freddy Kruger who didn't later find themselves as another number in his extensive body count. Unfortunately Zedd was different. Zedd commanded a power that he had never before encountered. Feeling outclassed and powerless was an entirely new feeling for him. It was extremely frustrating.

"You promised me results!"

Taking orders and being reprimanded for failing to complete those orders were also new experiences for him. Frustration was very quickly giving way to anger.

"You think it's so easy, then why don't you finish the bitch yourself?" Freddy growled.

The person in question was hanging unconscious in a tangle of tree limbs, her blood soaked night gown clinging to her injured frame. Freddy watched as Zedd walked past him and reached a clawed hand toward the girl. Inches from her face an invisible barrier stopped him. Energy rippled over his fingers and down his arm. The same thing that had happened to Freddy earlier when he had attempted to end the girl's life.

Zedd growled, more from annoyance than the pain, and pulled back, curling his hand into a fist.

"This is Zordon's doing. He's managed to use the morphing grid's energy to create a shield."

Freddy decided that another thing he didn't like was being ignored, and the way Zedd seemed to be more musing to himself than informing him of what was going on was pissing him off.

"Who and what?"

"My old foe." Zedd at last turned to acknowledge him. "And mentor to these brats."

"Why the hell didn't you mention this guy before?"

"I hadn't thought that his influence would extend even into your realm. But it is of little concern. Now that I am aware of this development, it will be simple to stop him from doing the same for the others. And the Pink Ranger will be the perfect bait to lure her friends to their dooms."

"Anything else about this job you might wanna mention?" Freddy demanded, his voice dropped to a low menacing tone. He closed the distance between himself and his 'boss'. The silver mask that passed as Zedd's face was barely inches from his own.

Zedd brought his staff up between them and used it to force Kruger away.

"Only that you are a disappointment. You have had several days to kill six children. I come here

expecting corpses and instead find one captive girl. You are as much of a miserable failure as my own sniveling troops." He shook his head in disgust. "Well that's what I get for outsourcing to someone who used to be human.

Freddy snapped an angry reply that was wasted on an uncouncious girl. Reality had shifted again. He was back to the dreamscape and Zedd was...wherever it was that he came from. Kruger paced around his captive, seething with anger, pondering his next move. He had no doubt that Lord Zedd had the power to do what he promised should he succeed. The question was, was it worth it?
