Okay, it's time for the next of chapters in this series! As you recall, Freddy had failed to kill off Renamon despite coming close to doing so in his last nightmare in another world, and he made it so that, after he expressed how angry he was over this, he would try and go for being much more successful in killing off Sid in the Ice Age universe. So he's entered into the dream of Sid the sloth in the universe of Ice Age and means to see the poor sloth dead and extinct. Can Sid, even being as seemingly unkillable and resistant to any kind of permanent damage, death or otherwise, as he is possibly survive his encounter with Freddy? Or is he doomed to become Freddy's latest of victims? You will find out by reading this chapter, so read on if you wish to know!

THINGS TO NOTE:

As with all Ice Age fanfics I write, I ignore anything past "Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs". All discounted and discontinuity as far as I'm concerned. And since this chapter takes place after the third Ice Age movie, that means it's meant as a post-series fic.

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

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 10-The Deadly Sin Of Sloth

There had been a lot which had recently gone on in the Ice Age universe. And I mean a whole hell of a lot. For one thing, Diego's old saber pack had, after reuniting with each other as soon as it was found out by Oscar, Lenny and Zeke that Soto had survived his impaling, gotten free and ran off once he got back enough of his strength, gone on a quest to right their wrongs, seeing what a desire for blind revenge had gotten them after rejoining and thinking it through.

And once they had, eventually, managed to right all their wrongs, they bravely made it so they presented themselves to both Diego and his herd, naturally surprising them but also making sure to explain everything to them so they would all know, though Diego knew more of what the four sabers explained than the others for obvious reasons. After a long discussion both with them by the herd and amongst the herd itself, which the herd alternated between, it was accepted they had changed and not always been so insane and revengeful, anyway.

And to the surprise of Soto, Oscar, Lenny and Zeke, they were actually offered a place in the herd. The four sabers discussed the matter with each other, then decided to accept said offer. So they were part of the herd from then on. This all happened in the course of four weeks, from Soto's escape from the icicles to him, Oscar, Lenny and Zeke joining the herd. In the next couple of weeks, the now added to herd had pulled off a lot of heroic stunts and had gone on some very interesting adventures, discovering good stuff and intriguing places in the process.

Finally, we go to the present time now, in which, after finding the ideal cavern to spend the night after a long day of being on the move and, in some cases, fighting off various threats, the herd was about to fall asleep and call it a day/night. And it was very late at night by that time, indeed. Little did any of them know, however, that while they were all tired and about to fall fast asleep, one of them was going to be getting a version of sleeping that was much different than the traditional version. And for the worse.

That one of them was none other than Sid the sloth. Although he was initially glad to be getting to sleep, since as per usual, he'd been on the business end of a lot of harm and jokes for pretty much all of the day, Sid would soon wish he was awake to the point of insomnia. Because he soon saw himself in a weird looking room of sorts, one which contained an easel, a canvas, a giant air pump and paint cans that contained paintbrushes. He said: "Hey, where the hell have I gone to just now? I fell asleep in that cavern me and my herd entered for the night!"

He looked this way and that, and added: "And what are all those things? I've never seen anything like that before in my entire life!" He was more confused than ever, even if he was an easy guy to confuse, given his less than bright intellect, but soon saw on one of the walls in red paint the words: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!" He asked himself: "Freddy? Who the fuck is Freddy?" He also saw, written in green paint on another wall, the words: "Three, Four, Better Lock Your Door!" A third wall sported in brown paint the words: "Five, Six, Grab Your Crucifix!" The fourth of the walls had words in grey paint on it that said: "Seven, Eight, Gonna Stay Up Late!" Finally, Sid saw words of orange paint on the canvas itself which said: "Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again!"

"Hey, now, what was all that about?" Sid asked, standing up from where he'd found he had been sitting after falling asleep and winding up where he currently was. But then he saw an incredibly dark and scary looking figure, and said figure showed itself to be none other than the one and only Freddy Krueger, in an artist's outfit. He said: "Well, hello there, little sloth! If you wanna know who Freddy is, he's me! Freddy Krueger is my name, and killing is my game! You just happen to be my next selected victim and thus the most recent one who gets such an honor as the one of being destroyed by me!"

Sid jumped and screaming in fright, but though he tried to run, Freddy zoomed over so he was in front of him. He then said: "Oh, no. You're not running from me, sloth boy." Sid all of a sudden felt an unexpected burst of courage and aggression, going: "Oh, yeah? Then if I can't run from you, I guess I'll have to fight with you!" He did some flip kicks, jump punches and tackling moves onto Freddy, but though all of them connected, none of them did any good. In fact, while it happened, Freddy just yawned and said: "Wake me when you actually do some damage, will you? Your attacks don't mean shit to me when I'm in your dream, because I control that dream!"

Sid soon ran out of steam and barely managed to land on his feet before he was gasping for breath and trying to get his vitality back, and Freddy then leered: "My turn." He slashed Sid across the belly with his glove blades, making Sid scream: "E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" and causing blood to fly out onto the canvas, Freddy next attacking by leaping behind Sid and also slashing his back with his glove blades, making more blood fly out, but this time onto the floor of the place they were in. "Care for a back scratch, slothful one?" asked Freddy. "Or are you too busy bellyaching about how my blades are way sharper than you are? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Sid tried to fight back, spinning around and landing a backhand punch on Freddy, then an instant later biting down on him and throwing him a few feet away, but once more, no true harm was done. Freddy got up and said: "Nice try, but still no dice! Although I sure as hell am going to be dicing you! Or actually, dilating you…WITH AIR!" He made it so his pump came to him while manipulating the paint cans to slide forward and knock Sid over, saying: "You're about to get CANNED, loser, and this'll also prove I truly am as talented and evil as I'm painted! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

He subsequently put the tube connected to the pump into Sid's belly button and began to make the pump cause air to be pushed into him magically, effectively making it so that Sid got inflated like a balloon. He kept doing it while singing: "You put up a fight, but to no avail! Your blood painted my canvas and easel! And now it's time that you felt really pumped!" Soon, Sid's bursting point had been reached, and Sid was more terrified than he'd been before, which was of course saying a lot. Freddy walked over and touched Sid's side with his index finger glove blade, specifically the sharp tip thereof, and this caused poor Sid to explode completely, with the sloth's instantaneous blowing up making it so he didn't even have time to scream.

Freddy finished up his song with: "POP GOES THE WEASEL! HAHAHAHAHAHA! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He then stated: "Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins, it's known. And this time, it was a REALLY deadly sin! HAHAHAHAHA! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" In the real world, the gigantic explosion which Sid's being blown up by Freddy had created made it so his guts, flesh, bones and parts were flying all over the place. They all hit the walls or ground of the cavern, and the loudness of it woke everyone up. "What in the world?" Diego let out, with Manny going: "Did something just fucking explode?"

Everyone looked about, but gasped when they saw pieces, guts, bones, blood splatters and parts galore all over the cave. And they also could, even through their shock, tell who they belonged to. "Oh, no! Holy shit! SID!" cried out Ellie. "What the hell fucking happened to him?" asked Soto. "Your guess is as good as mine!" Oscar replied. "Or any of ours, for that matter!" a comment from Lenny came out as. "Dammit, he can't be dead!" Diego exclaimed. "He may have annoyed us greatly, and gotten into a lot of trouble we had to pull him out of, but he was still our friend and part of us!"

Crash and Eddie moved about to try and see if Sid was actually alive and these were parts of someone else, but unfortunately, they saw it was indeed Sid who'd been killed. "No, no, no!" Crash cried out. "I can't believe Sid's been killed!" "And we don't even fucking know how!" An instant later, Zeke let out: "He was just fine when he fell asleep along with the rest of us, and I'm not picking up any scent of anyone or anything in here at all!" "I can't see anything or anyone in here, either!" Eddie let out. "But something must have happened to him, if he's been blown up as it seems he has!" Manny yelled. "Fuck it, Sid may have pissed us off at times, and he might have been accident prone, but he was an important part of our herd and someone close to us and vice versa all the same! I don't want him to be dead!"

Peaches was going: "None of us do, daddy, but how is this possible? It's like he just, just, just spontaneously exploded while sleeping along with the rest of us!" She was shaking, as well as crying for Sid, much like the others were shedding tears for the now deceased sloth, and at the same time ironically trying to maintain their composure, which she was, too, given the kind of all around dire situation they were now suddenly in. They had not expected they'd be woken in the middle of the night and suddenly be in danger at all, much less in such a way as this, but they all knew they had to find out what happened, how Sid was killed and make it so his death would be avenged, plus make it so no other lives would be claimed by whoever killed him.

Back in his original dreamland, Freddy was cheering about how he'd murdered Sid. "Oh, hell to the yeah! I claimed yet another life! This sure feels a lot better than how lucky Renamon goddamn got when I attacked her in her dream and the way she survived because of it! But hey, at least, since sloths like Sid enjoy sleeping, he can now do so permanently! Ironically because of how he fell asleep on the night that he did at the time that he did in the fucking first place! Truly, that's rich as much as ironic! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But I mustn't let this shit go to my head too much, even as it feels greater than life, or should I say death, itself!"

Freddy then sat down on his throne to calm himself down and also said after taking a few deep breaths: "As victorious as I feel right now, I've still got plenty more victims to terrorize and I don't want to be thrown off track or miss the fuck out on attacking those victims. So it's best I get down to dreamland again and get to the orb to see who I'm next going to make an attempt on the fucking life of. Time to get the hell up out of this throne, then…" He stood up and walked to the orb, then he picked it up and told it: "Okay, orb, you're needed to make it known to me just who I'm going to enter the nightmare of once again! Show me the victim and show me the way this instant!" The orb obeyed him, and he swiftly discovered who was next.

Freddy chuckled: "So, then. I'm next bound to enter the dream of Rachel Berry in the Glee universe, am I? Guess the bitch is gonna be singing her last of songs and/or dancing her final dance once I've gotten to her. I wonder how much of an impact her permanent absence from the Glee club is going to make? Only one way to find out. Time to get a move on here!" And as always, the portal to the universe he was headed for, in this case the Glee universe, was right there and waiting for him to enter it. So he walked through it and was now good and ready to try and make it so that Rachel's trademark singing voice would be silenced forever. Would it be, or would Rachel live to see another morning and sing another day? Find out in the next one of this story's chapters.

END OF CHAPTER 10

So, how was this chapter for you? Sorry I had to kill Sid off, since he's so popular and funny and all, but let's be honest here. Given the countless times in which he's managed to escape what by all means and rights should have been certain death, and seeing as how he gets knocked around all the time regardless of what's going on at the time, it was only a matter of time before all of that caught up to him and he finally came across the kind of force that would kill even one as seemingly indestructible as he was. So I made things go down this way for the sake of being realistic. Anyway, you now know that the next dream Freddy will be going into will be the one belonging to Rachel Berry. Will he be successful in his attempt to kill her like he was with his attempt to kill Sid? Learn the answer in the next of chapters! Please rate and review, everyone!
