I've got yet another chapter to post here, and I do so now! This is the chapter in which Freddy enters the Beast Wars universe and goes after the currently sleeping Rattrap! It is to be well noted that while this story takes place post-Beast Machines, several things have happened, at least in this particular fanfic, anyway, to make it so that the Maximals all get their first forms from the Beast Wars back and those of them who were killed in Beast Wars have not been killed in this story's continuity, in contrast to the official Beast Wars continuity.

So they are here on Cybertron with the other Maximals, and in the first forms they had during the Beast Wars, too. But that's enough of that. Can Rattrap live through his encounter with Freddy, now that he's sleeping and has crossed the path of the dream demon? Or will Freddy make it so that it'll be rodent vermin on a stick for lunch(reference to the uses of that in Beast Wars, ha, ha!)? Find out here!

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

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 3-Clocking A Rat

Since, at the end of the last chapter, we saw Freddy reentering his own universe, then, as soon as the orb showed him the Transformers/Beast Wars/Beast Machines universe and who'd be the best one to attack, entering into the dream of said target, Rattrap, you can obviously see what we're going to start this chapter with. Namely, the way that Rattrap was wiped out and of course about to fall asleep because of that. Here, I'll describe it in a bit more detail.

First, there's how the reason that Rattrap was so spent and worn out was that he'd had a day today in which he did just about everything he could do. Everything from enjoying the fun parts and pleasures of Cybertron to having exchanges with Dinobot or Blackarachnia to helping out with anything that needed inventing or fixing to scurrying about underground whenever the chance presented itself. By the time the day was over, boy howdy, was he ever in the mood for some shut-eye!

He was going: "Aw, man, what a day this was! Yeah, it had all sortsa perks, it's true, but slag it, was it ever tiring! Time now for dis rat ta get some well deserved rest! I wonder whether or not it'll be just as jam-packed tomorrow?" He lay down in the bed of the bunk he had here on Cybertron, which he'd obviously entered into when he realized how much he crashing after such a long day as this, and he fell asleep within seconds. Although he'd been in robot mode when the entering of his bunk and dozing off in question happened, he was suddenly in beast mode.

Not only this, but besides being in beast mode again after falling asleep, he was in some kind of dark room. He said: "Hey! What da slag? How did I get here? Dis ain't my bunk! I fell asleep, and now I'm in some sorta…pitch black room? Oh, fer bootin' up cold, dere's gotta be some explanation fer dis! Wait a minute…am I in beast mode?" He looked to see that he was, a second before he saw on the floor the words: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!"

He was confused, going: "Freddy? Who da slag is Freddy?" But then he saw on a wall the words: "Three, Four, Better Lock That Door!" He saw on another wall: "Five, Six, Get A Crucifix!" He looked to a third wall to see: "Seven, Eight, Better Stay Up Late!" Finally, on the ceiling, he saw words which read: "Nine, Ten, Don't You Sleep Again!"

"Dis don't look good, I don't tink…" Rattrap said, suddenly a little afraid. It went from bad to worse for him when once he heard Freddy's voice go: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Well, hello there, Rattrap. I'm Freddy Krueger, and I control things here in dreamland. Any dream of anyone in any universe is mine to control. Come to get a little RAT-apuncture from my blades? Or perhaps you'll FUR-give me for how CLAW-dacious I am to terrorize and kill you?"

"Well, if I wasn't coitain I was in trouble before, I definitely am now!" Rattrap said. "I'd best get ready ta defend myself against dis guy, 'cause whoever he is and wherever he's from, he wants ta kill me, so he's an enemy! Rattrap, Maximize!" But when nothing happened, he said yet again: "I said, Rattrap, Maximize!"

Still nothing, and he realized what must be the reason. "Oh, no…" he squeaked. "Krueger controls dreamland, and in this dream, I'M TRAPPED IN BEAST MODE!" He ran swiftly after he saw Freddy appear and swing his glove to try and slash him. He managed to escape being cut to bits, but Freddy still made four wounds on his back.

Rattrap screamed from this and ran about, seeing a huge clock that Freddy's next attempt to slice him to pieces led to him running up the side of, but Freddy simply teleported so that he'd reappear behind the clock and made the pendulum go back and forth, back and forth, and hit the interior walls of it hard enough each time on each side so the clock was shaken some and Rattrap barely managed to keep his balance while running in fright.

During this time, Freddy was going: "Hickory, dickory dock, the mouse ran up the clock! The clock struck one, the mouse ran down, hickory, dickory dock!" Coincidentally, Rattrap ran down the other side of the clock just then, but he was far from being out of danger. Because as he got back down onto the floor, Freddy said: "So, you've managed to survive this long, have you? I can assure you that this won't be the case any longer, though!" He made it so a humongous-ass mouse trap suddenly formed in front of Rattrap, who couldn't stop himself from running onto it.

It quickly slammed down on him, and he screamed: "EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGH!" Freddy then walked over and told him: "Ironic, isn't it? You're called Rattrap and now you just got trapped like a rat in a trap for a rat! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And don't think I don't have a special treat for your little ass, either, by the way!" Freddy turned his gloved right hand into a long hose. One that was filled with rat poison. He then made it so not only did it slither its way over so that the nozzle was forced into Rattrap's mouth and his mouth got closed on it by Freddy's powers, but Freddy also got the liquid rat poison flowing forward in the hose so it was headed right for Rattrap's mouth.

Rattrap opened his eyes widely in fear, and Freddy began going: "I'm poison to you, ya dirty rat, and you can be sure I've ratted you out to death! Or, to put it another way, YOU ARE HOSED! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Rattrap squealed in panic, but just before the poison could touch his mouth, he woke up by freak chance, excruciatingly lucky to have woken up at just that time, as he would have been absolutely destroyed had he stayed in his sleeping state for any longer. He understandably woke up screaming, and this made it so that all of the other Maximals came rushing in.

When they did, Cheetor said to him: "Jumping gyros, Rattrap! What's going on here?" "You're screaming loud enough to pass for a sonic emitter!" Blackarachnia added on. "You'd best have an explanation, vermin!" Dinobot snarled. "Hey, you try goin' through what I just did, Dino-Butt!" Rattrap snapped, but Tigatron then noticed the wounds on his back. "By the Matrix, something or other has wounded him!" "Huh?" Rattrap asked, but then he looked to his wounds he'd gotten on his back from Freddy's glove blades, and went: "Oh, yeah…I forgot dat my back got slashed in dat dream…WHOA! What da slag?!"

He also saw a bruise on his back from where the trap Freddy had nailed him with had hit it, and Airazor said: "A bruise, too? And you're mentioning the dream you had?" Silverbolt said following this: "I can't imagine what kind of dream in must have been, with how these injuries have befallen Rattrap!" "I think you're going to need to tell us everything that happened from the moment you fell asleep to when you got jolted awake screaming, Rattrap." Tigatron told him, to which Rattrap replied: "Hey, no problem, Stripes. We gotta do somethin' about Freddy Krueger, anyway!" "Freddy Krueger?" the other Maximals asked in unison.

"I'll explain da best dat I can." Rattrap said, and he began telling the other Maximals all about what happened and what he could make of it. As for Freddy, you can guess that, if he was pissed off and annoyed at failing before, he was outright livid now, the way this was the second time that he failed in a row.

"Dammit! SHIT! FUCK!" Freddy cursed in his rage. "Two damn failures in a row! And all because that fucking rat had to wake up at the last second when I had him right where I wanted him! I had him dead to rights, I tell you! Just like with Iron Man, I just had to trip at the finish line, and this time all because of a lucky awakening! I suppose this means I should take a break from this, but I don't want to, and it wouldn't make this any less of a damn pain, anyway! Okay, time to put the old orb to use again!"

He went over to pick up the orb and then he said: "Orb, I'm in a worse mood than before, the way I failed to kill Rattrap, so to get my mind off it and give me a chance to start to make up for being without success in my first two attempts at a new kill, show me what universe would be best for me to strike at next, especially since I can't go back to the Beast Wars universe for a long time now, given Rattrap is doubtless telling his friends about me!" The orb obeyed him and showed him the best idea for the next universe to go to and the passageway to it.

Freddy said upon discovering it: "Ah, the Harry Potter universe! And into the dream of Percy Weasley, too! Well, this should prove to be a nice change of pace, since I'm now attacking a magical victim! From what I see, there are Weasley's galore, so I wonder if they'll even notice one of them's missing after I kill Percy? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" He entered through the portal his orb produced and into the dream of the sleeping at this moment Percy Weasley.

END OF CHAPTER 3

How was this chapter for you, everyone? Although I didn't kill Rattrap because he was one of the most popular and important Maximals in Beast Wars, I did make it so that anyone who was annoyed by him would at least be glad he got a little bit of what-for from how afraid and injured he was despite surviving his nightmare. And words like CLAW-dacious and FUR-give and other rat pun words I used were a reference to the comic book titled "A Nightmare On Elm Street: Fearbook". It's quite an awesome comic book and a must read for any Freddy fan, and it contains both those rat puns from Freddy and quite a lot else, Freddy related or otherwise, to make it a good read! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this, especially you Beast Wars fans! Ratings and reviews, please!
