Chapter 6: Final Battle

For years he was the terror of Springwood, the ultimate Nightmare. Freddy was untouchable to anyone and anything that could have stopped him, but right now he was facing a battle to keep his title against the Nightmare God itself, the Sandman. And despite being outclassed in every way, Freddy wasn't going to fall, not like this, not when he's so close to having even more power than ever before.

Freddy strikes with his claws at Sandman's face, however, the claws don't even sink into the skin of the God leaving Freddy bewildered for a second. BAM! The Sandman connects with Freddy's chest with enough power to send the Dream Monster flying back into a wall, and once Freddy hits the wall, the bricks that break off due to the impact shift and turn into bars all around Freddy trapping him inside.

''I've enjoyed these little games Freddy…'' Sandman spoke. ''But it's done now''.

''What? What do you mean it's done?'' Freddy yelled at his adversary.

''You're all out of tricks, nothing you do surprises me anymore. I'd have more fun taking on Jacob and his band of rebels then drag this on with you. You've giving your all, there's no shame in losing to me…'' The God continued with a confident fashion. ''You've fought someone who is just superior to you. Your time is over; the time of the Sandman begins now…and will never end. But I think I'll offer you some mercy, and let you live to be my pet''.

The rage inside Freddy boiled to breaking point now; his knuckles clenching tightly, the bones almost popping out of his hands. The pants of desperation so became the grunts of an angry fighter. ''You…superior to me? Ha, that's a laugh! While I've been becoming this world's living nightmare, you've been trapped in the body of a boy caught up in too many love triangles!''

''Doesn't matter about then, it's about the now…''

''Oh no…'' Freddy cut in. ''It does matter about then, see I've been doing this for years now. Killing this way is all I can do, and all I ever want to do. The fear and power that I feel, emitting from the children is intoxicating. I want to keep that feeling going for as long as I live, I love that feeling too much to let it go now. See that's why it matters with then, if you killed me back in the other time I might have laid down and died like the old dog you think I am. But now that I'm back in my world, having that nostalgic feeling of the children's fears, it's too late. I won't stop, I will never stop!'' He opened his mouth and then his tongue shot out and wrapped itself around Sandman's neck.

''Ever heard of spitfire?'' Freddy asked just as his whole tongue lit up in flames, going along until it engulfed the Sandman. Pulling himself, Freddy aimed himself straight at the Sandman and as the wind whipped past him, he held out his hands and they both inflated to gigantic propositions…BAAAAM! Freddy pummelled the Sandman with unimaginable force, sending the God hurtling across the battlefield before crashing to the ground.

For a moment or two, it appeared as if Freddy had just won the battle with that sneak attack. However, those thoughts were cast aside as the Sandman emerged from the crater, grin planted on its face. ''Okay, maybe you do have some surprises left in you''.

''And the fun doesn't stop there!'' Freddy smirked as he readied his claws and went on the offensive again.

''But if your powers were working…'' Tommy questioned. ''You could have stopped me from charging in''.

''I know''. Jacob replied with a smirk as he and the other Dream Warriors crowded round, just as Jason got back up and moved forward for another attack, oblivious at what kind of enemies he was facing right now. To him, they just looked like ordinary body bags waiting to be gutted to him, little did he know these bodies were already dead, and still packed more punch.

Joey was the first to step forward, waiting until he was face to face with Jason before opening his mouth and setting off a supersonic scream that lifted Jason right off his own feet and crashing out of the shop and into the street. This was followed by Taryn who threw two daggers at Jason before he could touch ground, both daggers getting direct hits on his eyes blinding him partially; he was a killer that didn't really on his sight, more his other senses too.

Steven Voorhees just chuckled as he watched his brother get beaten down before turning to Johnston and his friends. ''You think I'll be taken down as easily as my brother, you're gravely mistake…'' Before he could finish Kristen fired a jet of water right at him knocking him hard into the wall as well. Tabby then stepped forward and used her telekinesis to keep pushing Steven further into the wall, crushing his skin up against his very bones. And with help from Tina's power too, they both finally pushed Steven through the wall and with enough push to send him crashing into the shop across the street as well.

''Well that was fun''. Steven Johnston muttered before turning to his friends and hugging each of them. ''I thought I'd never see you guys again''.

''You can't get rid of us that easy''. Tabby said.

Becky was the last to embrace Steven. ''So aren't you going to introduce us?'' She asked tilting her head towards Jacob and the others.

''Hi…'' Jacob waved awkwardly. ''I'm Jacob Johnson, the damsel in distress down here is Tommy Jarvis''.

''I'll remember that next time I choose to save your ass''. Tommy responded as the Dream Master helped him to his feet. ''You already had a little help from our physic Tina Shepard there''. They pointed to Tina who waved awkwardly as well. And while this went on, the Nancy of Steven's group walked forward put off slightly by the woman next to Jacob with the silver streak in her hair. Just when Jacob was about to introduce the rest, he had a feeling those two already knew who they were.

''You're…you're…'' The Younger Nancy stuttered as the older one gave her warming smile. ''You don't even look a day older than me''.

''Think you can kill me that easy?'' Wendy heard coming from across the street. ''EVERYONE LOOK OUT!'' She shouted just as Steven's machete shoot out of the shoot aiming right for Tina, but thankfully a shield created by Will stopped the weapon in its tracks. And with that out of the way, Steven Voorhees had no choice but to rise up and run across the street looking to bring the fight on himself.

ZAP! Megan fired her kinetic blasts out of her hands, keeping the older Voorhees at bay. But while he was being held back, Jason was back on his feet and walking towards the others. Joey moved forward and screamed loudly again, the sound waves holding Jason, but the behemoth killer still kept moving forward slowly towards them.

Jacob patted his hand of Steven Johnston's shoulder. ''You finish these two off while I take my team to fight Krueger and Sandman''.

''No, I'm the only one who can beat Sandman…'' Steven tried to protest but Jacob interrupted.

''He won't give you the chance; he'll kill you before you can get close. We'll weaken him enough for you to sneak up and take him down, but only after you've finished these two off first''. Steven wanted to argue, but time wasn't on their side. Any minute now, Sandman will kill Freddy and then come after them and finish them before they can even counter attack. He nodded to Jacob. With that sorted, Jacob and his Dream Warriors moved back as they focused on the battlefield where Sandman and Freddy were still going at it.

Freddy was knocked down to the ground once again, too weak to even pick himself up before Sandman stamped him back down into the dirt and held him there. Freddy whipped his arm out, trying to slash at Sandman's leg, but he was at an angle where he couldn't land a good hit. Tired of this now, Sandman held out his hand, a golden ball of energy forming ready to finish it once and for all…

Until a powerful blast of magical energy knocked him back, leaving Freddy open for a powerful punch to his back courtesy of Kincaid. ''Hold him there!'' Jacob told him.

''With pleasure!'' Kincaid replied as he pinned the weakened Freddy to the ground with his super strength.

Sandman watched on and laughed at his new opponents. ''You think any of you stand a chance against me?''

''Why don't we see for ourselves!'' Taryn smirked as she pulled out from behind her two double edged swords and launched herself forward at the God. Slashing as fast as she could at it, moving at breath-taking speed, however, the Sandman was still much too fast for her. He dodged her attack and was about to land a punch to her, when Will created a lasso and grabbed Sandman's hard. It didn't stop Sandman from throwing the punch, but it took enough of the power off so Taryn could dodge the attack.

Nancy threw a ball of energy at the Sandman, hitting him fully but that didn't stop him or even slow him down as he charged forward and engaged Jacob in punching match frenzy. After going on for some time, Sandman proved the better and stronger fighter BAM! Landing a hard punch to Jacob's cheek, sending him crashing hard to the ground. Nancy threw another ball of energy at the Sandman, however, the God just held out his hand and the ball shrunk into enough. To add further insult, he created his own ball of energy and threw it at Nancy. Will stood between them and created a large force field hoping to take some of the blow.

BOOM! The explosion tore off Will's force field, and the flames soon took on the humanoid form of the Sandman, grabbing Will around the throat and slamming him face first into the ground. Taryn spun her swords around and moved them to Sandman like a buzz saw, but once impacted with the Sandman, the metal of the sword's shattered into thousands of pieces. Those pieces scattered around close to the Dream Warriors, and once close enough, tiny golden fists emerged from them hitting each of the warriors hard and knocking them to the ground.

''Is this all you've got?'' Sandman taunted as he threw Will high into the sky. Just as the Wizard Master was about to disappear from sight, Jacob teleported behind and caught him in mid-air. Already he was spent, after his first fight with Sandman as well as his tangles with Freddy.

''Hope they take care of the Voorhees brothers soon''. He whispered to himself, praying.

Jason slammed his machete at Becky, who used her power to summon a sword in her hand and block the attack. While holding him in place; Teresa jumped up, transforming into a lion and pounced on Jason, her jaw digging into Jason's flesh ripping his chest apart before he grabbed her around the neck and tossed her off.

BAM! Kristen punched Steven Voorhees on the cheek with her fist wrapped in fire, but this didn't stop the killer as he back handed her out of the way. Tommy aimed his shotgun right on Steven's rib cage BANG! The bullet ripping through his body but once again the killer remained on his feet and kicked Tommy away. The young Nancy threw a ball of energy at him next, knocking him back a bit, but Steven remained standing on his two feet.

They had to finish them off quickly if they wanted to hurry and get to Jacob and the others, but no matter how hard they hit, the brothers just keep getting back up. They were getting tired, and this won't be good when they have to be ready for the real fight against Freddy and the Sandman.

Steven Voorhees chuckled at the group's lack of results in this battle. ''You can't keep me down kids, I'm immortal, and nothing you can do will ever kill…'' GLITCH! Just then something stabbed into his back, causing him to stumble forward a bit. He held his wound caused by the dagger; it actually affected him, and no wonder it was the dagger being held by Stephanie. Red lights began to circle Steven as he felt faint and weak.

Jason saw his great-niece holding the dagger and remembered what it did to him the last time it plunged into his skin, he wasn't about to let that happen again. He quickly grabbed both his and brother's machetes and moved forward towards Stephanie looking for the kill. Using every ounce of strength he had, Tommy ran up behind Jason and grabbed him holding him in place. Jason shrugged and twisted trying to throw his enemy off him, but Tommy was defiant in keeping hold of the killer. ''STEPH…NOW! DO IT!''

The young woman heard Tommy's cries and ran towards Jason; not caring about the machete's Jason was trying to hack her with. ''This is for my father you son of a bitch!'' She screamed before driving the knife through his mask and in between his very eyes. The struggles of the Crystal Lake killer died down as he lost all the feeling in his body, his mind became a blur and the whispers of his mother faded. Tommy let go and watched as his enemy of more than 2 decades crumbled to the floor, dead for good.

''You won't take me!'' The older killer yelled before grabbing a sharp glass shard and threw it directly at Stephanie. There would have been no way to dodge if Becky didn't create a net with her dream power, catching the shard before any more damage could be done. On instinct, Tina used her power to hold the glass shard, and prayed that the knife made Steven weak enough for this to work. She threw the shard while it was spinning, and it cut right through the killer's neck, severing his head from his body completely.

''Nice shot''. Steven Johnston complemented the telekinetic before looking at the exhausted group. ''Now we help the others''.

''We better hurry then…'' Wendy said as she listened in on the other group's thoughts and how they were getting on. ''Sounds like they're on their last reserves''.

''Then let's get this show on the road!'' Tabby called out enthusiastically trying to get the other's hopes up. Even though the Fatal-Four have been cut in half, the other two won't be as easy to take down…and the first two were no walk in the park either.

''Steven…'' A weak Karen called over, being held by Neil. Steven walked over to her as she placed a hand on her shoulder. ''I still have some of my power left, you could use that to beat Sandman…''

''I'm not sure if I want to use power like that again…'' He whispered unsure of using a power similar to the one that started all this madness in the first place.

''What other choice do we have?'' Karen asked.

BAM! Jacob was bashed to the side again and rolled along the ground before finding his feet. Standing up and holding out his arm, the ground beneath Sandman began to sink, sending the God underneath. However, just went it looked as if it was going to work, it shot out of it and drove both fists into Jacob's stomach sending him flying again. The Dream Master coughed up blood and looked around; Nancy and the others were battered and broken on the ground, unable to carry on, it was a miracle Jacob was still fighting let alone alive.

''Need someone to hold your hand?'' A bloody Freddy asked Jacob sarcastically.

''Not like you did any better''. He shot back at the Dream Monster.

Sandman held out both its arms and controlled Freddy and Jacob, bringing them closer to it. ''Now, now children, play nice…'' In his hands, two golden fireballs appeared, inching closer towards the two's faces. ''Or I might just have to send you to your rooms!''

ZAP! Sandman was blasted aside by one of Megan's blasts as Steven and his Dream Team arrived helping Jacob to his feet. Freddy didn't get the same treatment, as Tabby force pushed him away and out of the fight. Sandman hovered in the sky, taking his sweet time as if to choose which one he wanted to kill next. ''I can't hear…'' Wendy stuttered as she tried to read Sandman's mind. ''I'm not hearing anything''.

''Then we just go on instinct!'' Becky said as she created a pair of large scissors and tried to cut the God in half, however the equipment merely snapped and broke on contact with its skin. In one powerful mind push he sent Becky flying back. Tabby tried to use the same trick on it, however Sandman's was more powerful and Tabby was off her feet as well.

Teresa shifted into a giant eagle and soared towards Sandman, trying to break him apart with her giant beak. The God moved out of the way and grabbed her around the neck, trying to crush her throat as she turned back into human form. Kristin kicked out and sent a huge wave of fire Sandman's way. It saw this coming and held out Teresa trying to use her as a shield. Kristin pulled her foot down, extinguishing the wave. And with that done, Sandman chucked Teresa towards Kristin and Wendy, knocking the three out of the way.

ZAP! ZAP! Megan fired her most powerful blasts; Sandman was walking forward as if the blasts were nothing more than gushes of wind until he was now face to face with the girl. BAM! A tiny slap to the girl's face and she was cast aside, her whole cheek swelling up as if hit by a car. The God approached Steven who hadn't moved at all since arriving here. ''What's the matter? Stage fright? Don't worry, the play will be over in a minute''.

Steven was still silent, until he looked up and stared the God right in the eyes and spoke. ''Kneel!'' As soon as those words left his mouth, all the power and control Sandman had was gone, as he found himself lowering on to his knee as if bowering to his King.

''What the hell? Your power can't work on me! Not like this…'' And for the first time, fear gripped the Sandman as he saw the gold return to Steven's eyes. ''You took her power?''

''She still had some left, guess she wasn't as inexperienced with it as you thought…'' Steven smirked. And then his fingers sank into the Sandman's head. The God screamed in sheer agony as the power seeped from his very mind and along Steven's hands and back inside himself. ''And now, I'm giving it all back to her, someone who really deserves it!''

''Yeah…'' A hoarse voice spoke, and then right beside the two of them, Freddy ready to kill two birds with one stone. ''Me!''

Jacob grabbed Freddy by the waist and sent both of them flying into the air. ''You just never quit!'' BAM! A lightening fist and Freddy soared higher into the skies. Jacob would have gone after him and finished it, but he was far too weak after his fight with Sandman and found himself falling helplessly back down to ground…or he would have, if Freddy didn't teleport behind him and grab him around the neck.

''You know something…'' Freddy said. ''I don't care if Sandman kills me! I don't care if he takes all my power and becomes the new Nightmare on Elm Street! I will not lose to you again, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have known about all this. You wouldn't understand what you know now, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have been born. I created you!'' He raised his claw and swung, his arm was intercepted as someone grabbed him.

''No, I created him…'' Alice Johnson spoke. ''And you won't hurt him!'' BAM! She backhanded him so hard; he was sent crashing down to the ground below. Jacob couldn't stop himself from falling, thankfully though Alice held out her arms and held on to Jacob. ''It's okay, you're okay now''.

''Mum?'' Jacob whispered weakly. ''Thanks''.

''You were doing just fine on your own, I'm so proud of you''. She said to him and kissed his forehead gently.

Sandman's body began to shrivel and wrinkle as its very skin cracked and started turning into dust. Soon, the screams died down and the Sandman was no more as the crumbled body fell to the ground and broke apart before being blown into the wind. Steven stumbled back a moment, trying to keep this power under control. It was always hard just with the Sandman's power, let alone Karen's Dream God power with it, but eventually he had it checked out and his eyes returned to their normal shade of colour.

As Steven's Dream Team helped up the Dream Warriors they looked around to see the darkening sky brighten up, and the ground filled with growing flowers and grass along with a stream of pure water running along their feet. ''Did we do it?'' The young Nancy asked as she helped her older counterpart.

''Not quite''. The older version said. Her eyes fixed on Freddy Krueger, so beaten up his legs looked like they would crumble.

''That power should be mine, none of you would be here if it weren't for me!''

''And you think that is a good thing?'' Alice spoke before driving her fist right through Freddy's body. The dream killer chocked out more blood as his power and the souls of all those he's killed left his body, leaving his body to start melting away, but that didn't mean the smile left his face.

''Sandman claimed to be a God. I created all of you…so tell me, who really is God here?'' He chuckled before his head melted away with the rest of him, leaving his maniacally laughter to echo throughout Dream World one last time before disappearing forever.

After a moment of pure silence, the younger Nancy spoke again. ''Did we do it now?''

''I don't know…'' Steven answered. ''We beat them, but what about this power, its back inside me again''.

''I think I can help''. Karen said as she approached Steven; Neil, Tommy, Stephanie and Tina all following, looking around in amazement at the beauty of the Dream World.

''Remarkable…'' Neil started but couldn't finish as his eyes turned to Nancy standing there in front of him. Not wanting to miss this chance again, he ran up to her before kissing her full on the lips, and Nancy wasn't doing anything to hold back and returned it, leaving her younger self a little shocked.

''Me and him? He looks about 20 years older than me!''

''Well here you're 20 years older than yourself''. Teresa joked.

''This is why I hate time travel, too confusing''.

''Speaking of that…'' Wendy said earning the other's attention. ''What's going to happen to us now? Like what if we've changed time to the point of no return?''

''I think I can fix that''. Karen said as she placed her hand of Steven's chest, and both powers of the Dream and Nightmare God ran into her and her eyes shimmered in a golden aura. ''Maybe we can change time once more''.

''How do you mean?'' Jacob asked.

''Bring them together. Have both worlds together as one''.

''But it's too late for us?'' Taryn asked. ''We're already dead''.

''That's what I need to ask Steven''. She said before facing him. ''I need your dream power; I can bring everyone back again. But in doing so, you can't ever use it again''.

''Doesn't matter, not like I'm going to need it again. Go ahead, bring them back!'' Steven said trying to hold in his happiness. Karen did the same thing again, placing her hand on his chest and absorbing his dream power. Everyone who was dead in the group found themselves gasping trying to take in a large gulp of air.

''Okay!'' Young Nancy said before placing her hand on Teresa's shoulder, her foster sister fearing for her after what happened last time they touched. However nothing like last time happened, they were really alive this time. The battle was finally over, and they could all finally have peace.

The months that followed each said their goodbyes and went back to their own thing. Tina continued with her work of helping people with her conditions, and with a similar dream power, Tabby went with her as her apprentice. Stephanie could finally have a normal life, finding work and trying to start a family, while Tommy decided to travel the world. With Jason now gone for good, he needed to find another purpose.

Nancy and Neil started up their own company with the Dream Warriors to help people with sleep deprivation. Teresa and Wendy went along with them, along with the younger Nancy who in order to avoid confusion went by her adopted name of Nancy Kinner. And after some business deals, joined with Jacob and Karen's company to form a new interest share and help profits increase. And with this added, boost, Jacob finally proposed to Karen…what did she say? Well, the smile Alice always wore showed that her son wasn't turned down.

Also; Steven and Becky continued with their relationship, and they shared their home with Megan and Kristin, each trying to work out what to do with their lives. And they were just happy that they now had lives worth living, no more nightmares to worry about.

The End!

So that's it! The end of ShadowLord's and my NOES trilogy. We hoped that you've enjoyed, I've had a great time writing this. And I always would like to point out that this will be my last NOES stroy I'm afraid, I think I've gone as far as I can with Freddy and I don't think I can make a story better than this. So thanks to everyone who has read, and take care!
