Okay, it's time for the next of chapters in this story! As you recall, Freddy was entering the X-Men: Evolution universe, specifically to terrorize Todd Tolensky, otherwise known as Toad. It just so happens that there will be an ironic surprise twist in this chapter, though I won't give it away, for obvious reasons, and one which you'll not forget anytime soon. Now, neither Toad nor any of the other sleeping mutants who've gone to bed tonight are expecting Freddy to show up, much less attack and possibly kill them, much like the other new victims of Freddy weren't. So yet again Freddy's got surprise on his side. Thing is, though, that there's no way of knowing whether he'll succeed in making another kill or not, even as things are improving for him now that he's got Percy Weasley and Marie's deaths under his ghoulish belt. So let's see how this goes down, shall we? Read on!

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

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 7-Toad Track

It was time for everyone to go to bed in the universe of X-Men: Evolution. Both the X-Mansion and the home of the Brotherhood were of this status. In the latter place, however, one of the Brotherhood members was in for quite a fright. Toad, to be exact. You see, while he'd passed out the way all the others had, and was sleeping just as soundly as they were, the peacefulness of his sleep was not to last.

For he soon saw that he was in some kind of pond with lilypads galore, one that looked as if it were a swamp pond. It was. He was in a swamp and on one of the lilypads, like a real toad. It confused him greatly, with Toad going: "Say, where the hell did I go? How the fuck did I end up here, wherever the hell 'here' is?" He looked this way and that until he saw on a tree the words: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!" He shivered a little and said: "Freddy? I've got no idea which Freddy we're talking about here!"

Then he saw on one of the lilypads beyond him: "Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door!" "Uh-Oh…this doesn't sound good or promising…" Toad said nervously. Then he looked into the water and saw lilypads forming the words: "Five, Six, Grab A Crucifix!" Subsequently, he saw a cloud formation in the sky which said: "Seven, Eight, Gonna Stay Up Late!" To end it, he caught sight of words in the grass which said: "Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again!"

"Okay…that was creepy…" Toad said, but then noticed a huge crocodile emerge from the water. "AAAAAAAAIIIIEEEE!" he cried out, then saw that this wasn't actually a gigantic crocodile. Rather, as evidenced by the red and green stripes on it, it was Freddy having turned himself into one. "Well, now, you wouldn't by any chance be Toad, would you? Hey, I think you would! My name is Freddy Krueger, and you look juicy!"

"YOU'RE FREDDY?!" Toad cried out. "FREDDY KRUEGER?! Okay, if it wasn't for sure I was in trouble before, then it sure is now!" Freddy tried to snap his jaws down onto Toad, but Toad leapt to another lilypad and dodged him just in time. "Trying to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, are you?" Freddy asked as he suddenly turned into a humongous snake version of himself. He slithered over just as Toad leapt to another lilypad after the one he'd landed on to get away from Freddy, or try to, and coiled himself around Toad, subsequently constricting him.

"GAAAAAAARRRRCCCKKKKK!" Toad let out, and Freddy then hissed: "Say now, Toad! How about a little SQUEEZE PLAY? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'd ssssssssssay we've got thingsssssssss all WRAPPED UP! Wouldn't you? HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!" Toad knew he only had time to try one thing to escape from Freddy's grip, and he quickly acted. He fired his tongue out and whipped Freddy's snake face with it, making it so Freddy went: "HEY! What the hell's with the tongue trick?"

This made it so Freddy loosened his grip by mistake, and Toad used his great strength to push the snake body around him even further apart before pushing and throwing himself out of Freddy's range and onto one of the grassy land marshes of the swamp. But he looked to see that Freddy had disappeared completely. "Huh? Where did he go?" Toad asked. "He can't have just vanished into thin air! KRUEGER! Show yourself now, asshole!"

"If you insist, you little toady!" Freddy said just before showing up behind Toad in his neutral form and raising his claw glove above his head. Toad spun around after seeing how his shadow loomed over him, gasped and quickly kicked Freddy in the ankles, then, knocking him down and gaining the upper hand, he hopped and stomped on his back, right before pulling his head back and using his tongue to snare his arm and fling him into a tree.

"UNNNNNNHHHHH!" Freddy shouted, and Toad said: "Boo yeah! Who is whose little bitch now, bitch-ass?!" But Freddy teleported over to Toad and slashed him with his glove blade weapons, albeit with Toad seeing him appear in time to jump back enough so he was merely hurt and not killed, and Freddy, after Toad fell down from the wounds and got slashed in some other places by him, screaming and bleeding, told him: "I believe it's you who's my little bitch now, bitch-ass! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Freddy then took hold of Toad's tongue with his non-gloved hand, yanking it out enough so he started to choke Toad with it, right before going: "Look here! I think you've just gotten in a situation where you're real tongue tied! Doesn't that choke you up? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Both of them saw something that surprised them just then, though. Quicksilver, another member of the Brotherhood and one of Toad's teammates, showed up right in the swamp that Freddy and Toad were in, and said: "Hey! Where am I? How the fuck did I get here? I was sleeping in my bed and now I'm in a swamp…TOAD! What are you…HEY! WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!"

"Quicksilver, help me!" Toad cried out. "This guy is Freddy Krueger, and he's trying to kill me!" "Fine, I'll save you," Quicksilver said as he ran over and snatched Toad from Freddy, plus pummeled Freddy rapidly to knock him down so he could run off with Toad, who made his tongue go back in, now in his hands, "but if either or both of us are killed by that bastard, then I pin the blame on you!" "Well, thanks for saving me, but how was I supposed to know this would happen? We've never seen this son of a bitch before!" Toad told Quicksilver. "No, we haven't. I think we need to, after we wake up, let everyone else know about…HOLY SHIT!"

The last part came from how they were no longer in a swamp, but rather, on a track field. "How the hell did we end up on a fucking track field?" Quicksilver asked. "Why, it was thanks to me!" they both heard Freddy's voice say. Freddy showed up dressed as a track referee, and he then said: "Yeah, I made this go from a swamp for Toad to a track field for you, Quicksilver! It's because of how, I figured, if you entered my nightmare world while asleep after Toad did, it was only fair I give you a nice taste of how I can make anything happen yourself, and with a theme to fit you the way I did a theme to fit Toad before!"

"Toad, don't take this personally…" Quicksilver said. He tossed him aside into the stands of the track field and ran over to land numerous speedy punches and kicks on Freddy. As he did so, Quicksilver was going: "So, you're the track referee, then, are you, Krueger? Made a track field for me and everything? Well, your first report can be this…I won the race against life and death and pummeled the shit outta your ass in the fucking process!" But Freddy teleported back a few feet away from Quicksilver and made his claw glove into a special buzzsaw.

One which dug halfway into the running track of this track field and was grinding toward Quicksilver with its other half only too visible. Freddy then said as he made the buzzsaw he had turned his glove into do this: "A race against life and death, you say? Well, if you think you've won it, think again! You're about to permanently buzz off and learn I'm the one who SAW to it you'd die!" Quicksilver, something of a coward despite his ego, panicked and ran as fast as he was able to away from the buzzsaw, around the track field.

But Freddy continued to make it trail him, manipulating it so speed would vary and it would either be a foot away from him or an inch, obviously to prolong his fun and to torture Quicksilver. Quicksilver was getting increasingly afraid until he was outright going hysterical with terror, and Freddy then said: "You almost won the race against life and death, I'll give you that…" He then made the buzzsaw move forward and catch Quicksilver in the legs, sawing both of them off. "E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Quicksilver screamed.

Blood flew from the stumps where his legs used to be, and he fell on his face, with Freddy going: "But you tripped at the finish line! Guess you shouldn't have gotten legless before the most important race of your life, eh?" He made the buzzsaw slice the rest of Quicksilver in twain, and then he added in: "You think you've screwed up badly here, Quicksilver? Ha! You don't know the HALF of it! And ain't that such a cutting remark on my part? My power seems to leave your speed in the sawdust, too! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Toad, just then, recovered from being tossed into the stands enough so he could stand up, and said: "Damn, I hate the way Quicksilver did that to me, but I suppose…OH, MY GOD!" He saw how Quicksilver had been killed, and then almost puked, though Freddy said: "Oh, and Toad! The one I started all of this with! I certainly hope you don't think I'd forgotten about you! Time to show how I hadn't in a way that'll knock you dead!" He made one of the seats in the stands knock Toad over, then made the walls and seats of the stands start to close on him.

"Your life is closed as of now! This is the word of death's chairman! It's time for me to kill the Toad where he STANDS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Freddy gloated. But Toad got luckier than Quicksilver. He woke up just then, screaming like a little girl. "AAAAAAIIIEE!" he yowled, and he then saw Avalanche and Blob come along, the former going: "Toad, what the hell?!" Blob then said: "You just woke us up big time with your screaming!" Toad then said: "I would be sorry, guys, if I didn't have a perfectly good reason for that! Krueger killed Quicksilver and tried to kill me!"

"What the fuck?!" Blob went out. "What are you talking about? Who the hell is Krueger? And what do you mean, he killed…" He and Avalanche suddenly saw Quicksilver's pieces, and let out in unison: "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTT…" Avalanche then said: "Quicksilver…oh my God…I never liked him, but…but…" "Same here…" Blob let out, and then he said: "Toad, what happened?" "You tell us every single goddamn detail. You got that?" Avalanche snapped, and an instant later, Toad said: "Of course! You think I wouldn't, the way some fucked up bastard tried to fuck me up and succeeded in doing so to Quicksilver, who ironically saved me beforehand?"

So Toad went into a full explanation to the other two Brotherhood members he was with, and during that time, Freddy had entered into his own, original dreamland again, and was feeling delighted and annoyed at the same time. "I sure am becoming a mixed bag." Freddy said as he at once sat down on his nightmare throne. "I attack Toad and almost kill him, Quicksilver comes at the last moment to save him, then I kill Quicksilver following that and almost finish the job with Toad, only for him to wake up a second before I can deal the fucking fatal blow!"

Freddy then went: "I really don't know what the hell to motherfucking make of this, but it does feel good that I got a third kill. Looks like even Quicksilver couldn't outrun me! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" He got up and walked over to his orb, right before going: "But beyond all of that shit, I've gotta see where the hell I'm next headed for! Okay, orb, you know what to do!" He picked up the orb, and the orb showed him both his best place to attack next, and who in it he would plague with a nasty nightmare.

"The Monster Rancher universe, and in the dream of Golem, hmmm?" Freddy asked. "I think I know how I'll torment his rocky ass, too, seeing as how it's being made clear to me he's scared shitless of water, otherwise known as aquaphobia! Well, time to travel into that dream, as such, and make it so he's all washed up! Permanently! And it's going to rock when I make it so he's stone dead! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Freddy made it through the portal and into Golem's dream, and intended to balance how mixed he was right now out by making it so Golem, like Quicksilver and unlike Toad, would be a successful kill.

END OF CHAPTER 7

So, how was this chapter for you? Pretty surprising twist that it starts out as Toad's nightmare, then becomes his AND Quicksilver's, and finally it's Quicksilver who gets killed and Toad who lives through it, huh? Big irony there, especially since Quicksilver can usually outrun most problems while Toad gets knocked about by trouble a lot. I chose to kill Quicksilver over Toad, btw, because Quicksilver is the least likable and least sympathetic member of the Brotherhood in X-Men: Evolution. The other members are multidimensional villains with more to them than just the rottenness, but Quicksilver is just all around rotten and jerky in the worst way, with none of his comic book counterpart's redeeming qualities. Let's not forget that even the other members of the Brotherhood dislike him, so there you go. The Monster Rancher Anime universe Golem is who Freddy is attacking next, by the way, just to make sure there's no confusion. Anyway, I hope you had fun reading it, and please rate and review, everybody!
