Disclaimer: I don't own Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, or Halloween.
Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma
Jason grabbed his past self by the throat and ran him through the chest with his machete before the back of his head was brutally raked by the garden harrow. The other hockey-masked wearing man grabbed his current self by the mask and smashed his hand against his heart.
They fell to the ground and the other Jason grabbed the true fiend before charging forward until the back of his head roughly met a nearby tree. Freddy laughed as the human Jason held the undead being against the tree and slammed him against it before keeping one hand on his mask.
As he proceeded to smash the back of his skull against the tree, the human Jason's black nails began to dig into the zombie's head before he was grabbed by the chest. Jason quickly spun and slammed his human self against the tree before bashing his backside against it.
The human Jason raked the back of the undead fiend's head with all his might before the actual monster flung him onto the branches. Swinging his fists at the same time, Jason knocked over the tree and it took his human self with him before looking back in Freddy's direction.
He immediately launched a paintball dart at Freddy before his former self tackled him and knocked him to the ground. Freddy watched either hockey-masked killer grapple the other like junkyard dogs as the human raked Jason's throat before the true one ran him through the heart.
The other stiffened before Jason grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the earth. He sprang to his feet and gripped the top of his spinal cord before ripping it out.
Before the human Jason could fall, his zombie counterpart grabbed him by the neck and knocked off his hockey mask as he raised his machete. Then he looked at his own face and cocked his head while holding the other Jason steady as he morphed into his childhood self.
"Don't you remember? Remember me, Jason. Remember us." Said the boy and those words echoed in Jason's mind from when Tommy had said them on the night he had died. Freddy grinned from knowing that underneath his enemy's brutal personality, he was still the hydrocephalic child he was at his near drowning and the hockey-masked man studied the boy before putting him down.
The boy smiled at his towering self and suddenly became his adult self again before stabbing him in the groin with a harpoon gun. Jason made no noise as he was lifted into the air and the harpoon extended into him with Freddy chuckling in the background.
"Aw, no balls, huh, Voorhees?" Freddy taunted before Jason grabbed the harpoon and snapped it apart. He brought down his fists on his human self's head and jerked the harpoon into his heart before the other head-butted him.
Jason reared his machete back and launched it into his past self's heart before holding onto him. The other Jason suddenly vanished and Freddy became bewildered by this as he hadn't anything to do with it.
"What in the fuck…" Freddy began to say before Jason turned to him and the next thing that happened was something sharp tearing into the back of his head. The dream demon spun around and swung his clawed glove at what he believed to have been Jason.
To his surprise and shock, he was both correct and false as his attacker was revealed to be Jason's bag-headed past self armed with a hammer. He ripped the claw end out of Freddy's skull and before he could retaliate, a spear was launched into his eye.
Freddy snarled as he ripped the spear out and looked to see yet another human Jason holding a spear gun before looking at his hockey mask featuring the axe mark. Realizing this was Jason's past self with his original hockey mask, Freddy was charged by a fourth past hockey-masked fiend and looked to see it was the Jason he pitted against his foe moments ago.
"Die!" Freddy said as he set the three Jasons ablaze and noticed two others marching his way. The first one, Jason's past self at his original resurrection, wore a utility belt similar to the current one wearing holding onto the metal fence post Tommy had revived him with and the second one was essentially the same as the current hockey-masked slasher with his only difference being an inch taller.
Freddy looked around as all the Jasons assembled around the current one and he looked around at his past selves before glancing at the last one. The slightly taller Jason looked to him and they studied the other for a minute before returning their gaze to Freddy.
"Well, well, you really think that more brainless hockey pucks are gonna make a difference. I already told you, I am eternal." Freddy snared and Jason's response to his taunting was raising his machete into the air before his past selves moved forward.
*He's Back (The Man behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper/One Man Army and the Undead Quarter (free choice) plays*
The bag-headed Jason sprinted forward as he now possessed a pickaxe and swung it into Freddy's chest before being clawed in the chest. The fourth Jason grabbed Freddy before slamming him onto the ground and brutally raking him with the garden harrow while the bag-headed Voorhees returned.
He stabbed Freddy's temple with an icepick and the burnt man only laughed while the fifth Jason stabbed him in the mouth with his fence post. He rose from the metal pole and sent all Jasons flying back as he moved back over the lake.
Suddenly, the 11-year old version of Jason lunged from the water and wrapped his arm around Freddy's neck before dragging him into the lake. He roared in anger as the younger Jason morphed into the true Voorhees and began to pull him down to the depths.
Freddy made the water boil as the fourth Jason ran a knife through his chest to where it emerged from his backside and he mockingly groaned as his black nails sank into his skull. He slashed this Jason's chest as he ripped the knife out of him and the final past Jason appeared in the water behind him.
He successfully pulled Freddy to the lakebed and plunged his machete into his head repeatedly with the blade exiting his stomach. Jason joined his past self at the bottom of the lake and slashed Freddy in half though he swung his glove once.
Both Jasons had their necks cracked and the taller one grabbed Freddy before tossing him to the current one. The dream demon continued to make the water boil until it evaporated and seemingly took both Jasons with it.
As he smirked, the third Jason jumped towards him before running him through the heart with his machete and smashing his skull in his bare hands. Before he could do anything else, the second Jason grabbed Freddy's legs and stabbed him with the pickaxe.
Freddy used his powers to make him explode and his heart became the demonic worm creature before springing at his enemy's face. He sliced the creature apart with his telepathy and sent all Jasons flying into the air before they all launched their respective weapons at him.
"Come up with some new tricks, Hockey Puck!" Freddy snarled before a sixth Jason appeared, having the same clothes as the 3rd and 4th but with the left chevron missing, and grabbed his head before transforming into the worm creature. He forced his way down his throat and he only laughed before slicing his chest open to retrieve the creature.
He sneered at it and gave the tallest Jason the chance to sever both his arms with his machete and axe. The third Jason stabbed Freddy before he could reform with the fourth charging over to him and punctured his left hand with a corkscrew with his next move being a meat cleaver to his face.
The fourth Jason grabbed Freddy's throat and the others joined in on restraining the Springwood Slasher with the true Jason marching over to his group. They held Freddy still as Jason angled his machete at his forehead and thrust the blade into his brain a single time with his past selves maintaining their hold on him.
Freddy roared in pain as the 2nd Jason tore into him with his pickaxe in his throat and he swung his clawed glove at them before knocking off the sack in the process. Jason's jacket was ripped into several pieces and his mask broke in half before he snarled at Freddy with the whole area changing with the three dream demons flying out of his head as his brain was slowly split.
Soon, Freddy found the area was the boiler room he was in when he originally died and looked at a nearby mirror to see he was human again with Jason or his past selves nowhere in sight. He attempted to stand before seeing the corkscrew was still embedded in his hand and kept him from leaving.
Just then, a Molotov cocktail was launched into the room through the window and Freddy's head jerked towards the doorway as another one landed near him. He ripped the corkscrew with his glove and roared as he spotted all Jason's outside as they launched Molotov cocktails at him.
"Voorhees!" Freddy roared as all of them launched the Molotov cocktails at him and he realized that Jason had somehow figured how he originally died as he had done discovered in their Dream World duel. Covered in flames building around him, he ran at Jason and roared in anger as the room exploded in blazes before he disappeared.
Once the explosion settled, Jason looked to his former selves and the group remained quiet as the 3rd Jason handed him his respective Hockey Mask. Once donning the mask, Jason looked to see that he wore the clothes of the third Voorhees as well and he began to vanish with the unmasked man nodding to him with the other Jasons.
Jason jerked upright and looked around before standing up to see that he still wore his original hockey mask along with the clothes he wore during his Higgin Havens massacre. Despite not understanding how he escaped Freddy's dream world, he picked up his axe and looked to where Lori had been.
Upon discovering she wasn't there, he walked around to the back of the house and saw no signs of her being there. Now knowing that his assignment of attacking Springwood was false, he walked forward and vanished into the night.
Short time later
Stokely and Dave lie in Lori's former bed and relaxed after a series of lustful escapades. She thought about the anger in Lori's face when she taunted her over Will's death and she lowly chuckled at her anguish.
"What's funny?" Dave asked.
"Nothing…" Stokely said as she reached for Dave's face and the sound of a door opening downstairs caught their attention. Looking to each other, Dave got out of bed after he put on his pants and went downstairs before looking around to see the backdoor open.
"What's wrong?" Stokely asked as she came down wearing only a shirt.
"Did we forget to close the door good enough?" Dave asked with it being unlocked with neither of them were there.
"Looks like it." Stokely said as Dave closed the door and locked it before they went back upstairs.
"Now, where were we?" Dave asked as they lie in bed and Stokely moved to him before a hand grabbed his head from under the bed. Just then, the blade of a knife ripped through the back of his neck out of his throat and blood sprayed onto Stokely' face as she screamed in horror.
Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma
Dave gagged as Jason rose from underneath the bed and grabbed Stokely before tossing her out the door. She hit the wall and looked back in time to see Jason grab either side of the mattress before folding it in half a single time as he done with Trey the previous year.
He unfolded the mattress and kept it like so before folding it again and again with Dave's blood splattering on the walls. Jason unfolded it a final time and with all his might, smashed either side of it together with his victim's body being completely smashed.
Stokely screamed as Jason slammed the folded mattress onto the floor and he set his boot on it as blood completely stained it while simultaneously spilling out. He calmly threw the knife at Stokely and it hit the wall near her head.
"What do you want, you overgrown bastard?!" Stokely demanded before Jason's head snapped in her direction and he proceeded to make his way to her. She tried crawling away before she was grabbed by the back of her neck and dragged downstairs until he tossed her onto some speakers in the living room with music playing by accident.
*Hush by Kula Shaker plays*
Jason picked up Stokely and cut off her arm with his axe with her wailing in agony while bleeding out. The huffing killer lifted the young woman against the wall while raising his machete all the while and she trembled fearfully.
"No! No! No!" Stokely screamed before Jason slowly the brought the front of the machete to her mouth as he kept his grip on her and ultimately stabbed her. He then furiously impaled her through the mouth with enough force to send his blade out the back of her head into the wall and her eyes became a deathly shade of white.
Stokely went limp as what was the back of her head stained the wall behind her and her killer smashed her face beyond recognition with the palm of his hand. He dragged her upstairs and threw her body in the bathtub before cleaving her midsection.
As her dead body stained the tub with her blood, Jason turned on the water and left the bathroom to retrieve Pamela's knife from the wall. Once placing it back in its sheath, he looked at his victims' bodies and began to walk downstairs as the bloody water overflowed from the tub.
Thanks to learning about Freddy's history with the house, Jason's killing of Dave and Stokely in the most brutal ways he could possibly think of stood as his best way of insulting him outside the Dream Realm and he marched out the backdoor before closing it behind him.
He made his way to the outskirts of Springwood and looked back at it while cocking his head. Upon knowing that Michael was still alive, he had hoped to encounter his silent foe once again but hadn't any success in finding him and he suddenly had a chill run throughout his body that made his head snap to the direction of the road ahead.
"Excuse me, sir, but I'm gonna need to see some identification." Said one of two police officers as they approached Jason and he looked to the two.
"Sir, we're gonna have to ask that you remove your mask and put your hands in the air…" The second began to say before Jason swung his axe into his chest and cleaved his head apart with his machete. His blood flew onto his fellow officer and he got his gun before shooting at the hulking killer.
Jason dropped his weapons before moving through the bullets and grabbed the officer's throat. He carried him to his cruiser and opened the hood before slamming his head onto the engine.
The hockey-masked murderer slammed the hood down onto the cop repeatedly and completely flattened his skull in the process. Jason retrieved his weapons and stored his axe in a carrier he brought out of his dream before doing the same with his machete as he started his long trek home.
Ki-Ki-Ki-Ma-Ma-Ma
Elsewhere
Lori looked out the car window as a chill ran up her spine and she looked to Erika doing the same before her friend noticed her.
"Something wrong, Lori?" Erika asked.
"I'm not sure. I had this weird chill for a moment." Lori explained.
"Well, it won't take that much time to get there." Erika said and Lori smiled at her remaining friend before looking out the window. She tried not thinking of Freddy or all that had happened to her friends and Will in the last couple of days before finding herself thinking of Jason.
Given his presence in the last attack of Springwood, she knew Freddy had to be the cause of it and about him being free though the capture of Michael had at least solved most of the town's problems. She sighed and returned to gazing out the window in her thoughts.
Meanwhile
Michael lie in the back of the bus as the convoy drove into the night and his head suddenly jerked to the side before his hands tightly curled into fists. Steven felt a chill running down his spine and believed it had to do with his granduncle before looking into the bus with the masked fiend hearing a rhyme in his head being sang in Judith, Laurie, and Jamie's childhood voices.
"One, two, Freddy's coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight, gotta stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again." Michael's dead relatives sang to him and the sound of metal scraping was heard before he found himself in Haddonfield. He looked around and spotted the childhood Jamie jumping rope with three other girls.
"Uncle Monster, come play with us." Jamie smiled before Michael cocked his head at her and heard sinister cackling before feeling someone touch his back. He calmly looked back and couldn't believe who he was seeing.
"Hello, Michael." Said being spoke.
Happy Friday the 13th and how'd you like Jason's escape from the Dream World? Not only did he fight his human self, he actually unified all of them against Freddy in the form of an army and it's a clever way to include all of Ari Lehman (in the role of the child Jason from the original film), Steve Dash, Warrington Gillette (when Part 2 Jason is unmasked by Freddy as done in the actual film) Richard Brooker, Ted White, Tom Morga (who played the final Jason that helps capture Freddy), C.J. Graham, and even Ken Kirzinger in the story in their roles as Jason.
In fact, Hodder and Kirzinger's Jasons nodding at each other is a joke many will love and Jason wearing Richard Brooker's mask and clothes from the third movie is meant to be a form of memorial to him. Even the loathed demon Jason heart creature from Jason Goes to Hell plays a part in fighting Freddy and of course, using Freddy's original death to defeat him stems from Jason's temporary defeat seen in Jason Lives.
Since today is Friday the 13th, I decided to finally kill Stokely and hopefully you'll be pleasantly satisfied but there's something else you deserve to know. In case you haven't figured it out, Stokely is named after Stokely Chaffin, a producer of Freddy vs. Jason and the whole reason Hodder didn't get to play Jason again in the movie.
In fact, all of Jason's named victims aside from Dave and John Revell are named after the people who worked on FvJ who had a hand in shafting Hodder from the crossover and payback is always so sweet. Since Chaffin prides herself for working on I Know What You Did Last Summer to work on FvJ and ultimately being responsible for a majority of its faults, I had that movie's theme song, Hush, mockingly playing during Stokely's attack and Jason stabbing her in the mouth is my way of telling her namesake to go suck a machete in response.
Plus, Dave is actually named after script writer David S. Goyer, who's infamous for altering the FvJ script into the questionable final product with the results being Jason's new fear of water along with most of his scenes relating to the Friday the 13th series being cut, Lori's weird "Freddy died by fire, Jason by water" comment, and of course, Kia's disgusting homophobic insult to Freddy before she's killed, all at Chaffin's behest from thinking the movie shouldn't be three hours, which is what the original script would have been if left untouched by them (yeah, I don't understand the logic, either).
With Jason free from the Dream World, it looks like Michael's turn is just around the corner and we'll get to see how he fares against Freddy. Question remains is, who on earth could surprise him of all people?
Find out next chapter and have a Happy Friday the 13th!
