Hello, everyone! I'm back with the next chapter in this story, the chapter in which Freddy enters the dreams of the three kittens in the universe of "The Aristocats", namely Marie, Berlioz and Toulouse!
There's something of a different way of things being done here with how things end up, I should point out, and you'll find out how so quite clearly when you read the way that the first multiple victim nightmare he performs concludes.
Be clear on this, by the way. I love cats, both real and fictional, and the ones in "The Aristocats" are no exception. I just wanted to reference Freddy's previous knack as a normal man for attacking little children and how he once did the same to small animals as a human boy, and this is the perfect way to do both.
Anyway, this obviously takes place after the movie called "The Aristocats", and we see it happen at night when all of the cats, be it the three kittens or Duchess and O'Malley, are asleep in their mansion home. Freddy started down his dark path by killing small animals and his initial human victims were little kids. Is he going to relive both of those nostalgic times of his life here? Read and find out!
I own none of the characters. They all belong to their respective franchises.
Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips
Chapter 6-Three Little Kittens
It was late at night in the mansion where Duchess, her three kittens, Toulouse, Marie and Berlioz and her new husband, Thomas O' Malley, lived. All of them had gone to sleep, but what none of them knew was that the three kittens were in for a nightmare like nothing else. How so? All three of them had fallen asleep faster than their mother and stepfather. Which was normal, on account of how they were so much younger and smaller than them.
But no sooner had they fallen asleep than did the three kittens see that they were in some kind of pet store. Berlioz said: "Say, where did we just go? I thought we fell asleep in our home mansion!" "We did!" Marie cried out. "So how in the world did we end up in a pet store of all places?" "I don't have any more of a clue than either of you do…" Toulouse began, but then he saw the words: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!" on a window.
Following that, he saw on door: "Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door!" Marie saw on a wall: "Five, Six, Get A Crucifix!" Berlioz subsequently saw on a lizard cage in the pet store: "Seven, Eight, Better Lock Your Gate!" He also caught sight of, on a fish tank in the pet store: "Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again!" "What is this supposed to mean?" Marie asked. "Yeah, who's Freddy?" asked Berlioz. "And what does he have to do with where we are just now?" Toulouse questioned, but all of a sudden, they heard Freddy's voice speak.
"I'm Freddy! Freddy Krueger!" Freddy replied as he showed up, dressed in the clothes of a pet store owner and still sporting his claw glove and hat. "And I've got everything to do with where the three of you furry little brats are just now. I made this, after all. It's my doing in your dreams!" "Hey, that glove he's wearing!" Berlioz exclaimed. "What's it for?" "Why, to cut short your shorts lives, of course!" Freddy cackled. "In the past, I killed first small animals as a kid and then little human children as an adult! And you three are like a mixture of both! So it's open season on all of you, as I've just declared! Time to nix my nostalgia!" Now the kittens realized they were in danger.
"Oh, my God! He's going to kill us! We have to run!" Berlioz cried out. They tried to, but Freddy teleported and reappeared in front of them, going: "Ah, ah, ah! No running from the owner of the pet store who needs to give you special treatment!" Although Toulouse jumped on Freddy and tried clawing and biting everywhere he could reach, plus this spurred Marie as well as Berlioz to do the same, which they did, nothing had any effect on the dream demon despite it all finding its mark. "PAH-LEASE." Freddy said. "Your little attacks wouldn't fucking mean shit to me even if I didn't control everything here in dreamland."
He subsequently turned the finger blades of his glove into strings of yarn and made it wrap around the necks of the three kittens, strangling them as he pulled them off of him and dangled them in the air from his glove. He then said: "Three little kittens had lost their mittens and looked as though ready to cry! Perhaps this was actually because they knew there were going to die! All of a sudden, they wished they had stayed home and thus kept away from harm! But if curiousity can kill the cat, then the kittens can be killed by yarn!"
The three kittens knew they had to act fast to get free and survive, so they used their claws to cut the strings of yarn and landed on the floor, then got the rest of the yarn off their necks and ran off so they could let the air get back into their lungs. Freddy went: "HEY! You wanna fucking cut my yarn strings, kitty cats? Well, this definitely calls for a genuine, classic and outright CAT-astrophe! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" He turned himself into a hellhound and ran after them, going: "Not all dogs chase cats, but this one sure does! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
He caught up to them quickly and knocked them down with blows of his paws and claw swipes that went with them, then he said: "Isn't it a doggone shame that I've gotta hound you so much?" They were on their backs, and Freddy turned into his signature form again, going: "But hey, your positions befit your fates, seeing as how you're all about to go belly up!" He made it so they were stuck to the floor and at the same time turned his glove into a version of itself which sported syringe needles rather than knife blades. "Anyway, I hope you all don't mind a little needling just now! It's time for you all to take your motherfucking medicine!"
The kittens struggled to get up, but suddenly saw that kitty litter was flooding in through the windows and doors, with Freddy adding in: "Oh, and I forgot to add! Even if I wasn't about to apply lethal injections to you, the kitty litter flood that's suddenly making its way in here will most definitely be enough to see you drowned and dead! Hilarious you'll already be dead by the time there's enough of it to do that, but at least it'll be a proper burial for three kittens like I am now about to kill off, am I right?"
"You won't kill us, monster!" shouted Toulouse. "We don't care if we're stuck! We'll find a way to get free and either escape or stop you!" Marie cried out. Berlioz then said: "Don't think you've won this!" "Oh, but I don't think I've won this. I already have. Feisty kittens, you three are, and you've got a lot of spunk, I admit." Freddy told them. "Too bad it's not going to make any difference or do any of you any good! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
While the kitty litter was now starting to fill the pet store, Freddy lowered his glove down to the three kittens and said: "Now, the instant I inject you three with the contents of these needle fingers of mine, you'll be ripped the fuck open and killed off with mortal wounding. So to extend how much fun I have and to make it known to at least two of you just what you're about to damn well go through, I think I'll pick you three off one by one. Oh, and in case you're wondering due to your current positions, yes…I am going to stick you in the belly with my needles!"
The three kittens opened their eyes widely in fright, and Freddy said: "Well, well, would you look at this? I've got myself three little FRAIDY CATS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ironic your hearts would start pounding fast before they stopped beating forever! Anyway, let's see, which one of you scaredy cats am I going to give an everlasting catnap to first?" He saw the kitty litter almost filling enough of the pet store to bury his quarry, so he sped up his taking his time with them just a little bit. He moved the index finger needle about and said, pointing to each one of them, first Toulouse, then Marie, then Berlioz, then Marie again: "Eenie, meenie, miney, MO!" He injected Marie in the underbelly with his index finger needle.
Then he added in: "Marie will be the first to go! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Just as he said would happen, Marie's belly got ripped open and her organs exploded, blood of course flying all over the place as she screamed and died and the rest of her also got ruptured. "MARIE! NO!" Toulouse cried, and Berlioz said: "YOU KILLED HER, YOU MONSTER!" "I sure did, runts!" Freddy gloated. "And now, especially since there's almost too much kitty litter in here to continue this, I think I'll reconsider the one by one bullshit and just kill the both of you at once, especially since you now surely know what awaits your asses by this point!"
He brought down his index finger needle and pinky needle at, respectively, Berlioz and Toulouse, but before the needles could touch either of them, both kittens woke up, miraculously enough. Toulouse said: "Phew…what a dream that was…" "Yeah…thank God it's over…wait a second! Marie!" Berlioz let out, and he and Toulouse saw her torn open corpse right in front of them. "MARIE!" they cried out, and then they began crying. "NO…" Toulouse wept along with Berlioz as both of them also saw that the wounds they got from being knocked down by Freddy in his hellhound form(his swipe of claws was what did it, after all)were still there, so it had been a dream, yet it also really happened.
Berlioz and Toulouse went over and cradled Marie's corpse as they cried for their dead sister, and Duchess and O'Malley had been woken up by all this racket, with them coming into the room and Duchess going: "Marie…Toulouse…Berlioz…what's going on here?" "Yeah, you three were making a lot of noise…" O'Malley added, but then the two adult cats opened their eyes widely in shock as they saw the sobbing Toulouse and Berlioz holding the destroyed Marie close to them. "Toulouse? Berlioz? What happened here?" Duchess asked, and she and O'Malley came over.
Toulouse managed to squeeze out: "Dream monster…he killed Marie…" "He tried to kill us, too…" Berlioz pushed out of himself before shedding more tears. Duchess and O'Malley also began to cry for Marie, realizing she was, in fact, dead, and Duchess said: "MARIE…NO…MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER…" O'Malley did all he could to console her and his two stepsons, in addition to going: "This can't be real…IT CAN'T BE…" "I'm sorry, I wish it wasn't, but…but it is…" Toulouse said before letting more tears roll down his face. Duchess then, after all four of the ones grieving for Marie had done so for six minutes, doing all they could to try and comfort one another, to no avail, took her face out of her dead daughter.
She then turned to her sons along with O'Malley, and said: "You said a dream monster did this?" She was still crying, and so were O'Malley and her two sons, but they clearly needed to know what had happened, so Berlioz and Toulouse said: "Yes…" in unison. Then Toulouse let out: "He said his name was Freddy Krueger, and he left me and Berlioz with claw wounds, like you see here…" He and Berlioz pointed to the bleeding cuts they'd gotten from Freddy's hellhound claws. "Okay, first, we need to get those treated, and then you need to tell us all of what happened from beginning to end." Duchess stated.
"It's the only way any of us have a chance right now, given what's been found out and made to happen." O'Malley added. Duchess put in: "We also have to find somewhere to bury poor, sweet, beautiful Marie." before O'Malley picked up Marie's corpse with his mouth and walked alongside the others to another room so that the wounds Berlioz and Toulouse had now would be tended to and the story of what had happened would be told and thus everything made known. Freddy, in the meantime, had gone back to his original dreamland universe, and had, at this moment, mixed feelings about this particular nightmare he'd performed.
"Well, I did at least kill ONE of those kittens, but damned if I didn't fail to kill the other two at the last moment! Ah, well, I've got SOMETHING to show for this nightmare, but even still, I think it would make the way the other two woke up and escaped me by freak chance and luck more bearable if I were to catch myself a kill in whatever universe I'm going to next, so it's off to the orb for me once more!" He walked over and picked up the orb, then he said: "Okay, it is time for you to show me what universe follows this one in terms of where I go, and obviously whose dream I enter in it! Let's have it now!"
So the orb performed what it had beforehand, and when Freddy saw both what universe he was entering next and which dream of which individual in it he'd be attacking, he said: "So it would seem that I'm making my way not into the Marvel Universe this time, but rather, into an adaptation of part of it! Namely, the X-Men: Evolution universe! And the specific target I'll be goddamn going after this time? Why, none other than Todd Tolensky, otherwise known as Toad! Guess he's going to be quite tongue tied when he goes up against me. Most likely literally! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" So Freddy made his way into the universe of X-Men: Evolution and made it so he would enter the dream of the sleeping Toad in that universe.
And what, exactly was going to happen then? Would he make a kill or would he fail yet again? Hey, you'll find out all of that in the chapter which follows this one, so let's end this part of the saga and get ready for the one that will follow it up!
END OF CHAPTER 6
Oh, yeah, I spared Berlioz and Toulouse, but I killed Marie! Why? Because let's face it…she was kind of bitchy in the movie, and there are people who dislike her. Quite a few, in fact. I've seen pictures on Deviantart that badmouth or slander her and, while she does have her fans(which I nicely apologize to for this, and ironically am one of myself), the problem is she's clearly the least popular of the three kittens, and there was no way all three of them were surviving an encounter with Freddy Krueger. So she seemed like the perfect choice to off. Anyway, I hope this chapter was a good read for you, and I hope that you'll continue to read these ongoing chronicles of Freddy Krueger and his new kinds of victims. Please rate and review, everyone!
