After this story's first chapter was given a review, a faving and a following, with the one who did it, Villain84, saying he loved this idea, I was spurred to add the next chapter! And thank you very much for your praise, Villain84! I'm glad you love the idea so much! Okay, as you all learned in the first chapter, Freddy Krueger's first new target is going to be ol' shellhead Tony Stark. In other words, the one and only Iron Man! He's just entered IM's dream as the golden Avenger has fallen asleep, and whether or not Iron Man lives through this is as up for grabs as how Freddy will torment him, though the way it happens, just so you know, is funny and scary at the same time. Without further ado, I bring you the second chapter and Freddy's first new target!

I own none of the characters. They all belong to their respective franchises.

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 2-The Iron Woodsman

In Avengers Mansion, Iron Man was exhausted as hell. And it wasn't just because it was now nighttime. It was also on account of how he'd had a long day of fighting crime, to the point where he'd taken on one foe after another at one time after another. In every instance, he barely defeated whatever member of his particular rogues gallery he was facing, and was barely able to rest enough and fix his armor in time to go on to take on the next one when the time came.

Needless to say, when it all caught up to him by the time it was proper he should go to bed, IM was so spent that he was amazed he hadn't blacked out on the spot after it hit him. He still flopped down onto his bed without even taking off his armor, though(albeit with his mask's faceplate up and open)and he said: "UUUUGGGHH! What a day this was! At least I managed to stop each and every one of my main fucking foes that I faced, and get out of it alive and in one piece. Even so, I can't remember the last time I was this spent!"

He didn't even bother putting the blankets over himself. His armor would keep him warm and his head was on the pillows, anyway. "Damn, I'm going to pass out at any second now, I can tell. Hey, at least it's at a time that it's affordable, and I've earned it, too. Just hope I can wake up in time tomorrow morning so that I'm not late for either work, Avengers duty or any other one of what I've got to make my top priorities." It was immediately after saying that sentence that IM at last passed out and was asleep. But the funny thing was, he suddenly found himself in a forest of sorts. A very unusual and dense looking forest.

"What the hell?" IM asked. "Where the fuck did it I just goddamn get taken to? I'm in some kind of forest? How is this possible? I just fell asleep in my bed! My bed in Avengers Mansion! This doesn't make any fucking sense, dammit!" He looked this way and that for any sign of anything even resembling a clue or explanation, but he got a full answer when he saw on one of the trees the words: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You." "Freddy?" IM said in a bit of confusion, but then it swiftly hit him. "Freddy Krueger!" he exclaimed. Sure enough, he then saw on another tree: "Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door!"

"But this is impossible." IM said. "Freddy Krueger is a fictional character in a fictional horror film universe. How could he possibly have become real, much less made his way into my universe?" Even still, IM saw on another tree the words: "Five, Six, Get A Crucifix!" Then he'd see another tree which read: "Seven, Eight, Better Stay Up Late!" Finally, he looked to a tree in addition to seeing the words: "Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again!" He called out: "Okay, Krueger, I don't know how the hell you fucking made it into this universe from yours, but I do know you're here! Show yourself this fucking instant!"

Freddy's voice was suddenly heard, going: "How did I get here? Oh, that's easy, Stark! I got here by a special orb which enables me to travel to any damn universe that I fucking want! It just so happens I was in the mood for new kinds of victims, and you get to be the first of them I kill! Big honor! And as for showing myself? You want to see me, Iron Shit? No problem!"

He all of a sudden appeared as a giant version of himself, standing so tall that he even was partly above the trees, and swung his glove so that he slashed IM with the blades thereon. "AAAAGGGHH!" IM let out as his torso armor was given cuts and so was his torso itself, but he quickly put down his faceplate and fought back by blasting Freddy with his repulsor rays.

He flew up in the air after that, going: "All right, you bastard! If it's a fucking fight you want, then that's what you'll get!" He also hit Freddy with his chest-fired unibeam, as well as a blast of sonics along with a freeze ray, but all of a sudden, he saw that Freddy had disappeared inexplicably.

"Wait a second! Where did the bastard go?!" IM exclaimed once he saw that he'd lost sight of Freddy completely. He looked this way and that, but suddenly he felt his boot jets turn off and his armor shut down, so he fell down to the ground and hit it hard. "UNNNNNH!" he bellowed, and then he realized what had happened.

"Holy shit! My fucking armor just failed!" IM shouted. But then it went from bad to worse for him, as he suddenly heard Freddy's voice again, it saying: "Hey, tin man! Where's your axe?" IM saw a giant axe coming down, replacing Freddy's right hand and glove, both of which he obviously turned into that, and barely was able to roll out of the way enough so it only wounded him and didn't kill him. Even so, it hurt like hell and did some nasty damage. IM let out: "AAAAAARRRGGHHH!" and Freddy then cackled: "Here it is! Here it is!" IM could see Freddy was just as gigantic now as he'd made himself before.

Picking up IM with his left hand and squeezing hard, Freddy also turned his axe of a right hand back into a hand and glove with blade claws, singing as he did so: "When a man's an empty kettle, he should be on his metal! I will tear you apart!" He shifted his glove blades up and down so he signified what he was talking about and tore open more cuts on IM's armor and the part of IM himself that region of the armor covered. Freddy continued singing: "It is only just presumin' you would be a lot less human if you didn't have a heart!"

IM couldn't believe the spot he was in right now. Besides how the cuts hurt and so did Freddy's grip crushing him, his armor being shut down and Freddy's singing that last part reminded him strongly of when shrapnel flew into his heart, which was the reason he needed the armor originally. He would have died without it, and it seemed as though he was now ironically going to die with it.

What's worse, Freddy's glove blades were made of sharp metal, just like the shrapnel which nearly killed him also was. But now came the worst part of all, when Freddy all of a sudden pushed IM against a tree by elongating his left arm and opening up his hand so he'd hold IM against hit and push him hard enough so his back hit it solidly.

IM let out: "UUUUUUUFFFF!" and Freddy used one of the blades on his glove to flip open his faceplate now. IM struggled more, but couldn't get free, and Freddy turned his glove into a giant oil can. One filled with toxic oil which would easily kill anyone who drank even a tiny bit of it, and he was planning to force plenty of it down IM's throat.

He got his oil can hand into position and yelled: "OIL CAN, TIN MAN! OIL CAN!" IM opened his eyes wide. He knew exactly what Freddy was about to do, and needed to find a way to dodge it and escape his grip all too quickly. Problem was, he had no way of that, since his armor wasn't working anymore. Then Freddy pushed forward the oil can and got the tip of the tube into IM's mouth.

Freddy was going: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Don't you know, tin man? You're about to rust so dreadfully! And die, too! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" All of a sudden, though, just as Freddy was making the oil flow through the tube to IM's mouth, IM awoke, and he saw standing in front of him several of his fellow Avengers.

Captain America, Thor, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Wonder Man, Tigra, Hawkeye and War Machine, to be precise. He said: "What in God's name? What just happened? Where did Krueger go? Cap? Thor? Wanda? Vision? Wonder Man? Tigra? Hawkeye? Jimmy? Where did you all come from? What happened to that forest I was in?"

"Whoa, whoa, slow the fuck down, Tony!" WM said to him. "You've got to explain why you were thrashing about and making so much noise in bed, all right, but not that rapidly!" Cap added in. "Seriously, even if my sensitive ears hadn't picked it up and spurred me to let all these others know what was going on, I think we all would have woken up anyway and come to wake you!" Tigra told him.

"You got awoken by what I was doing?" IM asked. "We sure did. All of us." Hawkeye replied. "Tigra may have let us know what she could tell she was hearing after we all got woken, but even before then, you were making enough noise to wake the dead!" Wonder Man stated. "When we got to your room, we saw how much you were thrashing around as if for dear life while asleep, so we woke you up!" Vision informed him.

"Well, I'm glad you did, because it was for dear life!" IM responded. "Seriously?" asked Scarlet Witch. "Your life was in danger while you were asleep and alone?" "Tis not something I would expecteth to happen at all, even being the thunder god and universe traveler that I am." a statement from Thor came out as.

"I wasn't expecting it, either, but it sure as hell happened!" let out IM. "Incidentally, you said the name 'Krueger' as part of this." Cap pointed out. "You mean Freddy Krueger?" WM questioned. "Oh, yeah. I hate to admit it, but as preposterous and unreal as it sounds, Freddy's somehow made his way into this universe from his own!" IM replied.

He explained everything from beginning to end, as slowly and calmly as he could, and as soon as he was done, Wonder Man said: "I'd normally say that this kind of talk was nuts, but the shape Tony's in right now and all the wounds he's got are irrefutable evidence that this is all real and has, in fact, happened." "Yeah, I hate to say it, but we can't argue with results like this." said Hawkeye.

Vision then spoke: "I think, Iron Man, that we should get your wounds and injuries all treated while also investigating how this happened and when Freddy will strike next." "Well, it's the best bet we've got and the only logical thing to do, so yeah." IM put across. "Especially since in my case, my tired state of before notwithstanding, I'm ironically going to unable to sleep for a long time after this."

"T'would seem to be unanimous among us what must be done, then." Thor proclaimed. It was followed by some of the Avengers present helping IM to his feet and helping to bring him to the doctoring part of the mansion for treatment, and the others going to look for clues as to how all of this could have happened in the first place. "By the way?" IM asked Scarlet Witch, one of the ones helping him. "Yes, Tony?" Wanda responded.

IM then said: "How come my thrashing about while asleep didn't wake up everyone else in the mansion?" "I think it's because the parts of the mansion their bedrooms are in were out of range of the noise, while ours were definitely in its vicinity." "I see." IM acknowledged. "All right, then, let's hope to God we can find a way to solve our new nightmare problem, especially since we never know what Freddy'll do next." "Indeed." Scarlet Witch nodded. "It's our best bet and truly our only hope right now, and especially with how sudden and almost out of left field this was."

Now we go back to how, after almost killing IM, but failing at the last second, Freddy had been pulled back into his original dreamland world, and he was frustrated and pissed off as all hell! He couldn't believe that he'd come so close to killing off Iron Man, only to, at the last minute, fail because some of his fellow Avengers were able to get to where he was in time to wake him up and save his life! He felt like he'd been cheated of a perfectly good kill, and he was ranting and raving about it like nobody's fucking business as a result of that.

"Dammit! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!" Freddy cursed furiously. "I came so fucking close to killing off my first of targets! And it was such a masterful way of doing so, too! I tripped at the fucking finish line! Why? Because those other goddamn Avengers just had to be woken up and come over to awaken Stark a second before I get the oil in him to see him dead! I got damn well fucking cheated, dammit! I was robbed of my victory!"

He swung his glove so that he made slash marks on the wall of his boiler room throne room, and then he said: "And worse yet, all of the Avengers, not to mention, most likely, all other heroes in the Marvel Universe, are no doubt on to me by now! Well, it's best I stay clear of that universe for a while, and make sure that, by the time I come back to it, things have calmed down and they aren't prepared for me anymore."

He then said: "The question is, though, that while, whether I succeed in my kills or not, this will most likely apply every time I'm finished with whatever universe and individual therein I attack, and while, quite frankly, it's the only way to go about this shit smartly, who the hell do I attack next, and what universe do I have to travel to in order to attack that someone inside of his or her goddamn dream? Well, only one way to find out." He went over and picked up his orb, an instant before going: "What better way to soothe the pain of this failure than a success on what I do next in this new trend I've started? All right, my orb! Show me who I'm going after next and what universe I'll be traveling to in order for that to happen!"

The orb did its job, and Freddy then saw both the doorway to that universe and target be made and found out exactly who he was going for this time. He said after this: "Ah, so I'm now going to be heading for the Transformers universe. More specifically, on Cybertron and with the focus being on one of the Maximals who fought in the Beast Wars. The one called Rattrap, to be precise. Yeah, I suppose that I could give that rat bastard a little rattitude adjustment. A dead on one! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

So he repeated what he had done with his orb and the doorways it gave him access to again, entering from his universe's dreamland to the dream of the currently asleep Rattrap in the universe the Great War, the Beast Wars and all wars following that had taken place in. He looked forward to purging himself of how pissed off he was about failing to kill Iron Man by getting Rattrap trapped like a rat.

END OF CHAPTER 2

Okay, how did you like this next chapter and the first attack Freddy did on a new target? I know I made it so he failed, but did you seriously think I was going to kill off a hero as popular and as iconic as Iron Man? No way. And just to remind everyone, far as I'm concerned, the Marvel Universe concluded, albeit with nothing destroyed and no one alive killed, as of April 2004. Everything else is just discontinuity and never truly happened. Simply delusions made by equally delusional piss-poor hack simpleton excuses for writers. Nothing more. But I digress. In any event, hope you enjoyed this chapter, which I think you can tell takes place after that conclusion of the Marvel Universe timeline and has a few changes since then added to it, and look forward to the next one. Please rate and review, everybody!
