Well, now! Is it time for another chapter of this ongoing story or what? It sure as hell is! We last saw Freddy continue his crusade when he took his third of trips to the DC Universe, this time of the intent to take out Green Arrow, and though GA put up quite a fight and a valiant effort when fighting for his life against Freddy, plus Freddy has missed both his targets in his last two visits to the DC Universe(first Wonder Woman and then the Kyle Rayner Green Lantern), the end/net result was that Freddy claimed GA's life and added him to his collection of kills from before and after he started this trips to new universes and the dreams thereof. But now he's taking his second trip to the Mortal Kombat universe, and he's targeting Shujinko this time as the one who he'll invade the dream of and end the life of. One would wonder if Shujinko might stand a chance against Freddy more than most of his previous victims would, since he's got a considerable arsenal learned from so many other MK fighters and a good set of skills, along with a sword, of his own. With or without that, however, Freddy is still going to be quite a threat and a very extreme danger to him. Likewise, should anyone else be pulled into Shujinko's dream, Freddy will be just as much, and, in fact, even more of a considerable danger to them. So, is Shujinko going to be fighting for his life against Freddy along with one or more other MK heroes? For that matter, is he going to be able to survive, and if anyone ends up in his dream, are they? Or is Freddy going to kill off Shujinko no matter how many extra advantages he's got along with, if he does see additional targets along with the Shujinko that's his original one in this second of trips to the MK universe of his, offing one or more of those further targets, too? You'll know by reading this chapter, so this is where I show you the very chapter I just finished introducing you to!

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 37-Old Time Horror Violence

In the Mortal Kombat universe, the heroic MK warriors had been keeping a considerable open pair of eyes, open pair of ears and sharp mind alike for whenever Freddy might show up in their universe via one or more of their dreams. After all, he did love paying universes he'd terrorized revisits whether he was successful in killing his intended victim or not, and they all full well knew that they could not ignore the need to keep everyone else in this universe alive along with themselves, especially knowing how horrific Freddy would make the deaths of anyone and everyone he was meaning to butcher and off. Invariably in that order, as a matter of fact. But despite how well they were doing at all that and how the other inhabitants of the MK universe did whatever they could to help them out whenever they could, they had one big-ass disadvantage nonetheless.

And that disadvantage was what you'll now read of in this paragraph. They would have times when they got tired out and in desperate need of sleep, and unavoidably so. After all, they were no different from anyone else, in their universe and the worlds therein or otherwise, in that particular-ass fucking sense. Thanks to this, and thanks to how long they'd been working so hard and doing everything they could to find anything that stood even a remote chance of seeing to it that Freddy couldn't catch them unawares and anything that even looked like a way that they'd be able to possibly take Freddy down everlastingly along with all the other inhabitants of their universe and all of its realms(even if the latter didn't get as many chances to do so as they did, but they, as I said before, did aid the MK heroes whenever there was even a brief time they had an opportunity to), it should come as no surprise that they were, by this point, so filled with tired fatigue that it was proving next to impossible to stay awake.

And furthermore, with or without how beautifully everyone trying their best and hardest to try every anti-Freddy method they could think of and work harder than hell to ensure they had as much chance to do so was, well, so far doing, the fact is that their current exhaustion and lack of energy was doing a very significant job on all of the MK heroes. Of course they'd tried to keep awake despite this when their tiredness first struck and got increasingly worse with things like coffee, loud noise from any source they could find, splashing themselves with water and/or things that were really to their liking and therefore excited them, but it was working less and less with how worn down and sleepy they got more and more. They even tried pinching and/or slapping each other when one or more of them seemed to be dozing off and on the way to sleep. But nothing worked more than meagerly and briefly now, and in the case of Shujinko, it was the very worst. After all, he was skilled, in good shape, powerful and armed with a lot of special-ass moves and/or weapons, but he was still quite old nonetheless.

Soon enough, when they'd returned to where they'd had that celebration and recently made their base of operations/headquarters thanks to how it was perfect both for trying to find a way to counter Freddy and a good place to reside just in case they needed to deal with any other threats in the fucking future(plus it was the ideal, perfect-ass place for them to live, too, indeed the home equivalent of a flawless victory), they'd done all that they could to stay away from their beds or anything that they could fall asleep in, but due to how woozy and unable to see, hear, smell, feel, taste and/or think clearly and/or correctly they were, it wasn't long before they all got to where their bunks and therefore their beds were without any of them even knowing it, realizing it or meaning to have done it at all. And besides how they promptly fell the fuck asleep once this fucking happened, Shujinko was the very first one to do so for the reasons mentioned previously. He would be taken aback by and regret it immediately after it happened.

Shujinko saw that he was on the roof of a death house now, and on a pitch black night, too. He shouted: "Dear lord! Where have I been taken to? Wait! What? NO! I can't have gone to sleep! I can't have!" Freddy appeared in front of him in a puff of smoke like you'd see coming from an electric chair, wearing a death house warden outfit except for his usual glove of knives, and then said: "Oh, yes you can have, and you damn well did, too! So you MK heroes kept a close eye out and full alert for me, did you? Too bad you kept yourselves awake for so long that it ironically made you fall into a deep-ass sleep! Because now I'm back after so long, and man oh man, am I in the motherfucking mood for another MK hero kill to go with the one I fucking made of that vampiress bitch Nitara the last time I was here!" "You will never take another one of us, Krueger!" Shujinko barked. "I will now fucking avenge Nitara and have good news to bring to my fellow heroic warriors, especially in Frost's case, since she had to keep her desire to help out as much as she could with keeping full track of you contained until all of her injuries fully healed up after getting treated! But once they did, she eagerly joined the others, and any vague sign of you alerted her! Which is no surprise, after what you did to her and how you did even worse to Nitara!"

"OOOOOH, how flattered I am that a simultaneously hot and cool bitch like Frost would take such interest in me!" Freddy quipped deridingly and sarcastically. "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" "Fuck you, you fucking abomination!" Shujinko exploded. "This is where your scourge of fear over this universe and any others comes to a halt forever!" But Freddy did a summersault over to him while using his powers to make Shujinko briefly go blind. Shujinko let out a cry of: "AAAAAGGGHHHH!" while he covered his eyes in the pain this move on him produced, and Freddy landed in front of him just as he regained his sight and removed his hands from his eyes, with Freddy then slashing down his frontal torso with the blades in the fingers of his glove. "YAAAAAARRRRRHHHHHH!" Shujinko shouted. Freddy then rebutted: "Yeah, I sure as hell ain't heard THAT sort of shit before."

Shujinko delivered some very skilled punches and kicks to Freddy, telling him: "Though first blood goes to you, last blood will not, and neither will the last laugh!" "UUUUUHHHHH! OOOOOF! AAAARRRGGHHH! WUUUNNNGGGHHH! NNNNGGGHH! YAAARH! UUNNNNNHHHH! UUUNNNGGHHH! UUUUUFFFFF! WOOOOLLLLPPHHFFFF! OOOOWWWW! YOOOWWWGGGHHHH! UUUMMMMPPPFFF! UNNNNNFFFF! YAAAARRRGGHHH! NNNNNNNHHHHH! UUUUUULLLLLFFF! WHULLPPFFF!" But Freddy counterattacked by slashing Shujinko's beard the fuck off to startle him, then taking a hold of his hair, pulling it and resulting in him going: "AAAACCCCKKKK…" and then in the next instant spinning him around and slashing him diagonally up the back. Shujinko let out one hell of a scream of: "E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Freddy then cackled: "Wow, those are some truly good-ass fucking moves that you've goddamn got there, Shit-Jinko! Too bad mine are even better, huh? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Freddy subsequently pushed Shujinko down, Shujinko going: "UUUUFFFFFF!" but Shujinko got back up while taking out his sword and then swung it in a way that cleaved and chopped the fuck down into the region of Freddy between his right shoulder and neck. "YEEEEOOOWW!" Freddy yowled, but he took the sword out of himself after using his powers to knock Shujinko the hell back and down, then he tossed it far enough so that it fell down to the ground away from the roof. "Quite the attack and weapon, Shu-Junk-O! But you should have pulled it out of me and attacked with it again! Too late now! Farewell is now to be bade to your blade! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Just then, both Freddy and Shujinko saw Mokap, Kurtis Stryker and Bo Rai Cho appear right the fuck between where the two of them were, to the astounded surprise of both of them.

"Bo Rai Cho? Kurtis? Mokap?" Shujinko asked. Bo Rai Cho then asked: "Shujinko? Is that you?" He turned around with the other two and then they opened their eyes widely while Bo Rai Cho said: "Why, so it is!" "Dammit, this has just gone from bad to worse!" Shujinko let out. "It was bad enough that I was endangered when Freddy got into my dream like this, but now the three of you have to have been taken the fuck into it just now!" "Freddy?" asked Stryker. "He's back here again?" "Right here, as a matter of fact." Freddy said, prompting Bo Rai Cho, Stryker and Mokap to spin the fuck around and look at where he was. "Oh, shit, no! He is back!" Mokap exclaimed. "You bet your ass I am!" Freddy grinned. "And I've got a fucking place alongside Nitara with all four of your names right on it! And to think I was originally here just to kill Shujinko! Well, now it looks like I'm gonna bag me four for the price of one! BWAHAHAHA!" "No way, no how, you demonic douchebag!" barked Stryker. "You actually got luckier than you think when we got sucked into this dream of yours, Shujinko!"

While they backed up so that they were alongside Shujinko instead of in front of him, Bo Rai Cho added in: "For we will now work together to see this vile fiend of a bloodthirsty demon exorcised for all time and beyond!" "HA! I'd like to see the four of you losers try!" Freddy went with a derisive laugh. "We won't just try! We'll succeed!" said Mokap. They all somersaulted at Freddy, landing in one place near him or another in a way so that they were surrounding him. In the next instant, Bo Rai Cho let loose a puke puddle at Freddy, making it so that he was suddenly slipping and trying desperately to keep balance. "WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA! DAMN, THAT'S ONE FUNKY-ASS MOVE!" Freddy exclaimed. "IN BOTH WAYS, TOO!" A second thereafter, Mokap nailed Freddy with a fireball while saying: "That'll teach your ass for making so many others puke in the past with how disgusting you are, Krueger! Here, have a nice, big taste of what killed your sorry ass the fuck off back when you were human!"

"AAARRRRGGGHHH!" Freddy cried. Shujinko performed an opponent slam upon Freddy, resulting in him, after he was slammed the fuck to the ground, going: "UUUUHHH!" "Thought you would kill me and then three of my friends like you killed Nitara, did you?" he let out. "Not a fucking chance, Krueger! Her death will NOT be in vain!" Stryker struck next when he hurled a grenade at Freddy just as he was standing up again after the puke puddle vanished, once with a low grenade toss and once with a high grenade toss. Both grenades hit Freddy, exploding and making the monster go: "YAAAAAAARRRRHHH! E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Stryker put across: "And your death will be a gift to this damn universe and every other one in fucking existence! Now EAT THIS!" Freddy fought back via making four lightning bolts come down from the sky, one on each of his attackers. They all let out a cry of: "E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!" in unison.

"You think so?" Freddy asked. "If so, it must shock you that I just bolted my way to one hell of a fucking comeback!" "Wrong, Krueger!" Mokap barked as he did a charge punch on the sleep slasher and made Freddy say: "OOOOOMMMMMPPPPFFF!" Stryker then added: "And by the way, we don't think so! We KNOW so!" He did his gun blast attack on Freddy as he made this fucking statement, the dream demon howling: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bo Rai Cho was the next to attack once more when he did his earthquake move and shook up the roof despite not destroying it, causing said shaking to see to it that Freddy was knocked the fuck off balance again. "YUUUUUUUHHHHHHH!" Freddy let loose, and Bo Rai Cho told him: "I do believe you can tell that we're not bluffing, but rather, we're saying things as they truly are, at this point, am I right?" Shujinko did an icy breeze move that froze Freddy solid and told him: "I'd like to add that, even if you refuse to believe us, it is still most factual and the truth of reality without question by now! How about a dose of the opposite of what killed you as a human being, or, actually, a revolting, piss-poor excuse for one?" Mokap ran forward while Freddy was an ice statue version of himself and went: "Nice one, Shujinko! Very cool, literally! Now I've got the perfect chance to put my best foot forward while being flip with this asshole!"

Then he did his backflip kick upon Freddy, knocking him the fuck down. Freddy went the hell out: "OOOOOOOOOF!" But after Mokap landed, Freddy, since that blow made it so that he was no longer frozen, with how Sub-Zero's ice blast move works and how this applies to both him and anyone who also has it in their fucking arsenal, got back up and went right the fuck forward with a fast lunge. It was so fucking fast, in fact, that before Mokap could react upon recognizing the danger and also before anyone could do shit to help Mokap(especially since Freddy did it both so quickly AND so suddenly that it startled all four of his opponents), the next move of the dreamland devil was to do a completely horizontal/sideways backhand swipe of his glove and slice Mokap the fuck in half, with it slashing through exactly the place between where Mokap's upper body ended and his lower body began. "I've got some fucking news for you shits, especially you, Mo-Crap…none of you are half as good as you all fucking think you are! Otherwise, this chump wouldn't have split up from life, now would he? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"MOKAP!" cried out Shujinko, Bo Rai Cho and Stryker in horrified alarm. "Yeah, he's as good as outta the game, and just became Nitara's fucking companion! Now, who's next?" Freddy said as he made it so that he was able to get back into a standing position while still above the roof from his lunge. He also made both of Mokap's halves fall to the fucking roof and roll at the other three MK heroes. He did so in a way so that Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho were hit by the upper half and knocked backwards some, while Stryker was hit by the lower half and then knocked towards him. "Ah, so it's you who will be the next victim I'll slay, is it?" Freddy asked, and Stryker replied: "No, and not a single one of us is next to fucking die! You are!" as he got up and pulled out two pistols, although Freddy used his finger blades to snip the one he'd used before in twain. "Nope! Not gonna do that again!" Freddy told him. "Oh, yes I am! I've still got this one!" Stryker shot back. And then he shot Freddy with his other pistol, Freddy going on out: "GAAAAAAH!" But then he jammed the barrel with his index finger blade and made the pistol explode and knock Stryker back. "AAAARRRGGHHHAAAAGGHHH!" Stryker bellowed.

"UUUUHHHHH!" Stryker also went out as he landed hard on his back the fuck upon the roof. "Guess you could say that I've got an explosive personality and can be so damn sharp towards others!" Freddy quipped. But just then, Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho goddamn got the fuck up and the former told Freddy: "You will NOT kill another one of us or anybody else ever again, you motherfucking monster!" "This is where we bring your sorry ass the fuck down!" Stryker put forth as he got back up. "Starting with this!" said Bo Rai Cho. He followed this with taking out his staff and tossing it at Freddy. It nailed Freddy in the fucking forehead and Freddy went: "OOOOWWWWW!" He backed up a bit, then Shujinko let loose his spear throw attack, getting the monster in the chest and making him go: "AAARRRHHH!" He pulled Freddy over while saying: "Get over here!" and followed it the fuck up with his flying jinko move. Freddy let out: "NNNNNGGGHHH!" from this, and Bo Rai Cho came over and regained his stick. After Shujinko let go of Freddy, Bo Rai Cho beat the latter the fuck over the fucking head with it, then, after Freddy yelled: "UUUUUHHH! NNNNHHHH! OOOWWWGH! AAAARRRH!" the sumo kombatant warrior performed his monkey flips move. "UHHHUHHHUHHHUHHH!" Freddy bellowed. Finally, Bo Rai Cho nailed Freddy with his belly bash attack. Freddy shouted as he was knocked back: "YUUUUUNNNNNGGGGHHHHH!"

"Give it up, Krueger! You're through!" barked Bo Rai Cho. "NEVER!" Freddy exploded, teleporting himself between Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho. He knocked them both to opposite sides of the roof. "UUUUUNNNHHHH!" Shujinko said after he landed. And Bo Rai Cho shouted after he landed: "UUUUUUHHHHPPFFFFF!" But Stryker then attacked first by means of doing his baton throw move on Freddy. "WHOOOOOAAAAAAAUNNNNNNNN!" Freddy cried out. Just as Freddy got back up, Stryker said: "Look, motherfucker, either you yield and admit goddamn defeat right now, or I turn you to a fucking pulp by beating the living shit out of your ass! You wanna hurt my fucking friends like that? Well, up yours! You should have remembered me and how I'd motherfucking make your sorry ass fucking pay for it!" But then a teleportation move from Freddy was followed by Freddy reappearing in front of Stryker and then stomping on his foot and kicking him in the shin. Freddy punned: "Really? Doesn't fucking look that way to me, with how I'm now putting my foot down and getting a kick out of proving you so painfully wrong!" "AAAAARRRRGGGHHH! OOOOWWWWWCCHHH!" Stryker at once howled. But he countered this attack when he used his baton bash move on Freddy. After Freddy got the head smashing following his being tripped over and landing on is back, the combo of which made him go: "WHOOOAAAGGHHH! UUUUUNNNHHH! AAARRH!" he fought back with a fucking counterattack of his own.

And that counterattack, which was done just as Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho got back up after the effects of Freddy's logic manipulation backwards knocking move and their landing hard on opposite sides of the roof wore off, allowing them to do so, was to snip Stryker's baton with his knife fingers so that it would be halved and therefore useless, plus it was a means to surprise him, then to get back up and slam his index finger blade first into the area between Stryker's shoulder and neck on the right and then that area on the left, and, as Stryker was reeling after having gone: "AAAAAARRRRGGHHH!" and "YEEEOOOOWWWWWGGGHHH!" from these attacks, blood spilling out rapidly and profusely from both wounds, using his snipping glove blade move once more, only this time to sever Stryker's head. And as Stryker's head fell off of his shoulders, blood shooting up from the stump of his neck like a geyser, his body also fell the fuck forward. Both Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho were most shocked, and Bo Rai Cho let out: "NO! Not Stryker too!" "Oh, yes, most definitely Stryker as well!" gloated Freddy with a sneer. "And he's now joined club death with Nitara and Mokap! By the way, if you really have so much feeling of devastation from loss of your fucking friends, you can have what's left! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

While he said the last part, he made Stryker's head and body fly at Shujinko and Mokap's halves soar at Bo Rai Cho, knocking both of them down. "WWWUUUUUUUUFFFFF!" the two still living kombatants barked. "Just for the time it takes me to use them against you, though!" Freddy put in as he then made the halves of Mokap and headless body and head alike of Stryker fly in opposite directions so that they fell away from and of course off the roof, disappearing the fuck out of sight. "Holy shit! You sick-ass fuck!" Shujinko gasped. "That's me, you pathetic old fart!" Freddy sneered before laughing. He paralyzed Shujinko with his powers and saw to it that he was held down before making Bo Rai Cho fly the fuck over towards him. A second after Bo Rai Cho screamed: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Freddy saw his large belly slashed the fuck open with his glove blades, then pulled all of his goddamn guts right the fuck out. "You know, Bo Rai Chump, you remind me of a fucking pig, what with you being such a tub and all! And what better way to kill a pig than by gutting it? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" "By all the Elder Gods, no! This can't be fucking happening!" Shujinko shouted. "Oh, it's happening all right, Shujink-Oaf!" Freddy spat while flipping him off with his left hand's middle finger. "And after I'm done with this in every way big loser, I'm getting back to the goddamn destruction of my original fucking target here! That means YOU!"

"E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bo Rai Cho screeched from having his gut sliced open and his entrails being yanked and cut out. After he lost so much blood that he died, Freddy flung him the fuck away from the roof while keeping him above that roof and made the insides that he'd removed from him slide off of it so they'd go with him. "I've gotta say, Bonehead Rai Cho, I've got a gut feeling that I just killed you good! Doesn't that make you feel gutted and prove to be more than you can't stomach? Ah, well, now that I've dropped you, you at least have three other lost lives to keep you company! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He unparalyzed Shujinko while turning to him and told him: "All right, Shu-Jerk-O, let's get the fuck back to where we were before those three dolts showed up here!" "Those were my friends, you bastard, and I will now avenge them by destroying your ass!" Shujinko snapped. He did his flaming fist move after he ran up to Freddy so he was close enough to hit him with it, and knocked him down. Freddy let out: "UUUUNNNNNN!" He followed this with his flip scissor kick, then, after he landed, he did his slide move on Freddy. "OOOOWWWWWW! OOOOOOOF! YAAAARRRHH!" Freddy howled out from this combo. "So, your vindictive anger and craving for payback is really helping you here, is it?" Freddy asked Shujinko while he got back up.

"You bet your ass it is, and it will continue to until I've rid this universe and all others of you once and for all!" replied Shujinko. "Not a chance, old coot!" Freddy said as he grabbed Shujinko by the neck with his left hand and throttled him. "AAAARRRRCCCCCKKKKK!" Shujinko choked out while gasping for breath, but he forced Freddy to release his grasp when he pulled the bicycle kicks move on him. "UHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH!" Freddy shouted, but just as Shujinko landed on the ground and got his breath back enough to fight on, Freddy cut their fight short along with Shujinko's life. Metaphorically and literally alike, in fact. First, just as Shujinko looked to Freddy and was about to execute another attack, the dream devil punched him in the nose with a fist made out of his left hand, breaking it badly. "OOOOWWWWWGGGHHHHHFFFFFFF!" Shujinko howled, immediately reeling back in addition to covering his now smashed and horribly bleeding nose with both of his hands, much like he'd done with his eyes when Freddy temporarily blinded him. After that, Freddy turned his glove into a giant pair of blender blades and made them start spinning at a lightspeed level rate, putting in while he did so: "Anyone who NOSE me is well aware that I'm very tight-fisted with how much life I allow someone to have!"

Just as Shujinko had found a way to ignore his broken nose and the agony thereof enough so that he could fight on, he turned around to face Freddy, only to live just long enough to see the blender blades Freddy made out of his glove spinning at the highest velocity possible before they absolutely turned him into blood, flesh and guts goo, with no sign of bone, clothing, or hair whatsoever. While the red and pink colored goo that was once Shujinko flew all over the place, Freddy joked: "And hey, such knowledge as that? It'll made you go all to pieces, and show you just how fucking sharp I am along with quick to kill! Well, Nitara, you have four more friends to share your fucking ignominy with, bitch! And, hey, maybe you'll even goddamn get to goddamn go on a goddamn death date with one or more of them! Who the fuck knows? HAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And, in the real world, Shujinko's gooified remains were all over the walls, the floor and the ceiling alike, Bo Rai Cho's body was lying down on the floor on his back, gutted belly and all, lots of blood all around from Shujinko and him alike, and Bo Rai Cho's eviscerated guts were also all over the place, though mostly on the floor, Stryker's headless body and the head that had been snipped off of it were also lying down on the floor side to side with each other and Mokap's halves were on that very same floor and the bottom half was ironically atop the top half. There was also beyond plenty of blood from both Stryker and Mokap, just like with Shujinko and Bo Rai Cho.

Just after all of this shit had damn well fucking happened, the other heroic Mortal Kombatants had finally slept long and deeply enough to wake the fuck back up again(and really, this sort of noise and happenstances would have woke them up under normal circumstances, but when they were in a deep kind of sleep that they were unable to avoid any longer despite their best efforts to such as this? I think not.). And when they did get to be fully awake after one hell of a big, long stretch and yawn, oh, baby, were they in for the shock of their fucking lives, and most certainly NOT in a good way by any fucking stretch of the fucking imagination. For they instantly saw what remained of their four friends who had died trying and fighting their hardest to bring down Freddy Krueger, and Li Mei screeched: "OH, NO! MOKAP! KURTIS! MASTER BO RAI CHO! But who the hell can that fucking goo be the remains of?" "Well, I can't see Shujinko anywhere!" Liu Kang told her. "So it must be his remains!" "SHUJINKO TOO?!" let loose Li Mei. "Well," she continued, "I don't need three fucking guesses to know who the fuck goddamn did this!" "Neither do any of us!" Kenshi said to her. "I can even tell it for sure with my fucking telepathy!" Frost then icily and coldly(pun intended on both counts)said in a quiet but obviously livid tone of voice: "Krueger, you struck again. Even with all we did along with everyone else in the fucking realms to make sure you didn't fucking catch us off guard, it still wasn't enough to stay on guard for your sorry-ass fucking ass. You waited for a long time until it was almost a goddamn given that we'd be unable to stay awake no matter how hard we tried and have a hard time finding a means to stop you no matter how long and hard we worked or how well we did. And first you kill Nitara and injure me dreadfully, now you murder Mokap, Kurtis, Bo Rai Cho and Shujinko?! Fuck you, you son of a bitch. We're going to get you. And when we do, there will be hell to pay for you before we send your fucking ass the fuck to hell."

"Easy, Frost. We're all just as fucking angry as you are, but this is no time for any of us to lose our fucking cool, you or otherwise." said Kung Lao. "And no, that was not a fucking pun. This is, after all, no time for humor, especially with what happened to four more of our friends." "Okay, you do have a point." Frost nodded. "But I'd sure as hell love to see plenty more points driven the fuck through that cocksucker!" "We all would, Frost." Sonya assured her. "But we're not going to get any fucking closer to stopping him if we just stand here fuming." "Right, right." Frost acknowledged. "But I do have a question, and one that I'm no doubt not alone in having by a fucking long shot." "Yes, Frost? What is that question?" Raiden asked her, and Frost answered: "We've done everything in our fucking power, and working damn well together, I might fucking add, to find even the most remote-ass means to counter Krueger and send his ass to the goddamn Netherrealm. Not to mention that all others in this universe have put their full effort and thought into helping us with that as much as possible every single last chance they got. And it still hasn't been found, along with the even worse fact that Freddy's been able to sneak up on us and claim four more of our friends as his kill trophies. So what the hell can we possibly do now?"

"You know, I hate to admit it, but Frost has a point there." Hotaru(who had prior to the events that took place before the time when this story's twenty-ninth chapter began realized how foolish he'd been to serve the Dragon King after being tricked by him via DK taking advantage of his fanatic mission to ensure order in all realms and joined the heroes, wanting to compensate for this mistake and serve an actual greater good and one much more likely to ensure the good and appropriate kind of order, after he asked that he be given a chance to atone for his mistakes of before and he was given that chance before proving his worth in the battle that ended all of the MK villains for good, with him having killed Havik, who'd prior to the time Hotaru realized his mistake had, for countless reasons, joined the side of evil after convincing the villains that he'd be a valuable asset to them, predictably) acknowledged. "As far as I can goddamn determine, we've run out of ways that we can find and/or means that we can use to have it so that Freddy's fucking number can be goddamn gotten on our part. And, unless I'm missing something here, this is not only actually the case, but if that is indeed so, it means that it's open season on us, the other inhabitants of this universe and all other inhabitants of all other universes alike!" Then Kai replied: "As correct as you and Frost may be, that doesn't mean that we should give up! We can't give up! If we do, then Freddy has already won and we might as well already be dead, with the same going for anyone and everyone else living in this universe and/or any others there are!"

"You are nothing short of correct, Kai!" Jax then put the fuck across to him. "And let's not be forgetting the fucking fact that we have never given in before, and besides how we're never goddamn going to fucking start, this would be the worst time to do so possible even if we were!" "Well said, both of you!" Ermac told Kai and Jax. "And quite frankly, we did NOT fight as hard as we did, go the lengths that we had to go and forever vanquish the villains in this whole universe as well as saving that same universe in the fucking process just so that we could all be killed by a dreamland douchebag who would then do the same damn thing to anyone else he could find a way into the dream of, whether it was in this universe or any others anywhere else!" "Of course we didn't." Fujin stated. "And we didn't try as hard and long as we did along with the ones who we salvaged because we wanted ourselves and them to die, either. Yes, we seem to have hit a wall, but giving in just because it appears we're in such a fucking predicament is the LAST thing that any of us want to even CONSIDER doing." "I couldn't agree more, and it's real conspicuous to me that the same goes for the rest of us here." Johnny Cage put in. Raiden would tell the others: "Now, we have to start somewhere with what else we do to try and see Krueger eliminated for all eternity, and while I wish there was time to mourn and grieve for the ones who lost their lives when Freddy paid his second visit here, I am sorry to say that there's not."

"Gotcha, Raiden." Jade said to the thunder god. "But tell me this. Like you just said, we have to start somewhere. And I think a god would be the best to ask this question to…so where the hell DO we start?" Sindel pointed out: "After all, we are, at best, very low on options and/or ways to find anti-Krueger advantages despite how we put our utmost effort into using the former to its best extent and finding the latter in any way, shape, form and/or area it may have been in." "Therefore, what was already difficult for us, with our losing a teammate only making it worse, is now going to be more arduous than ever." Kitana spoke. "Especially now that we've been made to be minus not one, but FOUR of our fucking allies this time." said Sareena. "I don't want it to be that way and neither do any of us, but we can't ignore or deny the truth of reality." After she said this, Raiden told her: "I know. And make no mistake, it is most likely going to be next to impossible to find what we seek. But since we can't let that stop us from trying, we need, as I said before, to start somewhere, and our best bet for that somewhere would most likely be a trip to the heavens." "THE HEAVENS?!" exclaimed everyone else except Fujin in absolutely and thoroughly bewildered astonishment. An instant later, Fujin put in: "Yes, the heavens. And I, for one, agree with Raiden that we should look there. He and I did so as part of what we were doing after Krueger's first attack here, sure enough, but it wasn't at all sufficient to find what we sought, even as we looked everywhere we could before knowing we had to depart from the heavens in order to help you all and/or the others in all the realms." In the next second, Sub-Zero said: "But be that as it may, only gods and the souls of the pure and righteous can enter the heavens!"

"True enough," Raiden acknowledged, "but this is a fucking emergency, and therefore Fujin and myself will make sure of it that there can be an exception here, though notably the first exception." "We see what your idea is," said Ashrah, "but there are two problems that we think should be pointed out to you and Fujin, Raiden." Scorpion then said: "First of all, besides how me, Sareena, Ashrah and Ermac, despite being heroes like the others here, albeit quite the fucking examples of dark heroes on one damn level or another, are still tainted with evil and Netherrealm essence enough to be goddamn destroyed by the heavens, as I damn well learned the hard way when I entered that fucking realm and, ironically, was saved by you, Fujin and the other Elder Gods, which I thank you for, but I can't fucking focus on that shit right now, I do believe that you aren't exactly on good terms with the other Elder Gods outside of Fujin here. After all, you did defy their fucking wishes and stay on Earthrealm. Granted, it was to serve as its last fucking hope for freedom and therefore for a good cause, but I nevertheless have quite the fucking feeling that they're still nothing short of displeased with you even after all this fucking time." "Scorpion is quite right, you know." Night Wolf told Raiden. "And second of all, even if they weren't still displeased with you and allowed for there to be an exception, which, ironically, I don't think they'd allow even in their best of moods, since their rules and laws are quite firm and constant, how the fuck would they be capable of enabling that exception, even given their status as gods and therefore the considerable powers and abilities that come with such a status?"

Then Dairou(who had, prior to Hotaru realizing what he did and doing what he did as a result, had also come to see how wrong his chosen path to follow was and decide to make up for his past wrongdoings and misdeeds, and predictably tried and succeeded to join the heroes while he met up with Hotaru in the process and they agreed to both give their intentions a try and also grant one another a second chance, with both of them being accepted and given the chance to right their wrongs that they told the heroes they wanted by those same heroes and, of course, this mean Dairou was part of the final battle against the villains, who Darrius had become a part of, long story, and it was that same Darrius who Dairou fought, defeated and killed during the battle I speak of)added on: "We also mustn't forget the following, either." "And what is that, Dairou?" a question from Raiden consisted of. Dairou replied: "Were we even to be lucky enough to be able to enter the fucking heavens despite how, if it fucking happened, it would be something never at all fucking allowed or even possible before that fucking time, and then only once given how much is damn well at fucking stake, how do even you and/or Fujin know that we'd be able to discover what would be required to see to it that Krueger met his end? Yes, that realm hasn't been completely searched in before, since you and Fujin could only search for so long and in so many places in it before needing to leave that realm and do something else that is also required in our agenda against the sleep slasher, but not even you two gods can be certain that realm contains that which we'll need if we want to see the end and of course the last of the dream demon, and we can't overlook the fact that, unless there's some hidden, utterly unknown way to break such unbreakable rules, it is just as completely impossible to enter the heavens unless you're a god or the soul of someone pure and virtuous as it is to enter the Netherrealm if you aren't even the least bit stained with evil!"

"I will not overlook how sound your basis is, Dairou, just as everyone else who has pointed out such problems has an equally sound basis." Raiden nodded. "But we must at the very least give it a fucking try, for not only is it better to have tried and failed than to have no tried at all, but the small amount of chance we have if we attempt this seemingly impossible deed is far better than no chance at all and essentially making ourselves the sitting ducks of that dream devil to butcher and destroy in that order and in any way he wants to along with at any time he wishes to. And we cannot leave out how he will by no means stop at doing such a thing to us if all of the other universes he wants to terrorize stop trying. We cannot give him the idea that such yielding will continue happening in other universes due to how they only have to be pushed far enough for it to happen by allowing ourselves to surrender to him when we've possibly hit a wall in our universe." Fujin put in: "Raiden is most correct, and this is far too serious and dire a matter for any possible openings for our current adversary to be allowed to fucking exist." The non-god MK kombatant heroes all turned to and looked at each other, then looked about at everything present that was previously part of their living comrades, then Smoke(who had been with the MK heroes prior to Hotaru and Dairou joining, being lucky enough to be freed from Noob Saibot's brainwashing and, just like was the case with Cyrax before all of that, made capable of being in his human form or his cyborg form, although it was now his power armor/power suit, whenever and/or wherever he pleased, prior to joining the heroes and after joining them respectively, and he was currently in his armor, which was also the case with Cyrax)spoke for everyone who wasn't Raiden or Fujin when he said the following. "Yeah, Raiden and Fujin both definitely have a point."

The others nodded, and Cyrax then commented: "Still, I'd be lying if I said it isn't going to take a lot, and I mean a whole hell of a lot, for us to get there, even with all of us working together." "Yeah, but we've got to make sure that it damn well gets done, especially since it's going to be required for us to fucking attempt what we're going for here whether we're fucking successful in the end or not." Khameleon told him. "Which is one of the many reasons why we all must get the fuck to work at once." Raiden said. "Every millisecond counts when it's this vast a crisis situation." added Fujin. The others nodded and they wasted no time in getting to work to at the very least attempt what seemed to be their best bet. But it is by this point that we exit from the Mortal Kombat universe and go right the fuck back to the Nightmare On Elm Street universe and the boiler throne room in dreamland thereof that Freddy was now making his way the fuck back into, and make no mistake whatsoever. He was so fucking happy, delighted and full of all around victorious joy and self-congratulations alongside how pleased he was that it was amazing and beyond description and/or any kind of comprehension even for him.

"YES! YESSS! YEEESSSS! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS! YEEEEESSSSSSSSS! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!" Freddy howled in happiness. "There are no fucking words for shit whatsoever to goddamn well describe how fucking happy and how goddamn great I fucking feel right now! Fuck that! Fuck that shit! It's just the fucking opposite! THERE ARE TOO MANY WORDS, DAMMIT! I'VE RARELY, IF EVER, BEEN SO AWESOMELY DELIGHTED IN THE STRONGEST SENSE OF THE ENTIRE FUCKING WORD! I WAS GOING INTO SHUJINKO'S GODDAMNED DREAM EXPECTING ONE FUCKING KILL IN THE FORM OF HIM, BUT WHAT DID I GET INSTEAD?! FOUR KILLS FOR THE FUCKING PRICE OF ONE, THAT'S WHAT! HAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA! I AM THE ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE! THE ULTIMATE KILLER! THE EPITOME AND EMBODIMENT ALIKE OF ALL THAT MAKES NIGHTMARES FRIGHTENING! THE MASTER OF ALL NIGHTMARES AND FEAR ITSELF! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THIS IS THE BEST OF MY MOST RECENT KILLS BY FAR, AND THAT'S IF THERE WERE ANY BETTER THAN IT MUCH EARLIER ON IN THESE TRIPS OF MINE TO OTHER WORLDS IN OTHER UNIVERSES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HELL YES! HELL YEAH! FUCK YES! FUCK YEAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I AM THE FUCKING WINNER OF ALL FUCKING WINNERS I TELL YOU, BITCHES, AND NO UNIVERSE, MINE OR OTHERWISE, FUCKING FORGET IT FOR SHIT! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA!"

After that, Freddy put an end to his over-the-top victory celebration and turned to his chair a second before going over to sit down in it. After a few long, deep breathers and the breaths thereof, Freddy was calm enough to yet again stand up and sashay over to his orb an instant after doing so. "Okay, then, let's see if I can score some more kills to add onto my four newest and freshest ones!" he said merrily just as he got to the orb. Picking it up in his hands, he told it: "Orb, since you know what the hell I fucking want, I'm not even going to bother telling you. So let's see all of those fucking things, and make it good and fucking snappy!" The orb did as he said. The moment he saw which universe he was damn well headed to, and which dream of what individual in it he was specifically goddamn going the fuck after, he commented: "So, I'm going for a second run in the Glee universe, am I? And it seems that, fittingly for how I've gotten four victims for myself just now, I'm actually entering the dreams of FOUR individuals this time, which is quite rare for these otherworldly trips I'm taking one after the other so far. And the dreams in question belong to Finn Hudson, Noah Puckerman, Kurt Hummel and Joseph Hart. All right, let's see if I can nail them the way that I nailed Jesse St. James and almost did much the same fucking thing to Rachel Berry and Mercedes Jones."

He put his orb down as he also looked to the entranceway it had conjured the fuck up for him, and didn't stall for so much as a second. He walked right the fuck into that entranceway, and was taken into the combo that the dreams of those four merged into one big dream, since all four of them and, quite frankly, everyone else in the goddamn Glee universe, was asleep at this time, which was appropriately and predictably late at night. In different places, homes or otherwise? Sure, but being sound and fast asleep is the one trait they all currently shared in common. Now, as Freddy himself mentioned at least part of, his last trip to the Glee universe made it so that he tried to kill Rachel Berry and later Mercedes Jones and Jesse St James, and in the end, he was able to pull off killing the latter. This was his next of them, though, and he was, instead of entering the dream of one person, now visiting the combined dreams/one huge dream of four people at the same time. Was he going to be able to take even more lives than he did the last time he was invading the fucking universe of Glee? Would anyone survive his attack? Would everyone survive his attack? Would he off only one of his targets? Would be murder all four of his targets? Would he destroy more victims than he missed, or vice versa? You'll not know at all if you don't read the chapter that comes after this one, particularly since this one is now at an end.

END OF CHAPTER 37

Did you like this newest of this story's chapters? I sure am of the hope that this is indeed the case. Oh, yes. I most definitely saw all four of Freddy's intended victims slaughtered, whether it was Shujinko, the original one of them, Bo Rai Cho, Stryker or, perhaps the least popular of them all and the numero uno character you guys were glad to see go, Mokap. See, besides how, their respective weapons, skills, powers, personalities, what have you notwithstanding, these four still can't, working together or not, find their way around a dream god such as Freddy Krueger, particularly since he's far nastier, more aggressive and prone to playing tricks and/or fighting dirty than the four of them, let's face facts. Shujinko is the most popular of this particular set of four characters, and he's still someone who a lot of people hate or think is just all right, despite how he still has fans to some extent. Plus, while powerful, wise and talented, he's old and Freddy is eternal and therefore ageless and someone who never ages. And Boi Rai Cho is really a character who most people could live without and, in fact, truly dislike(not to mention a really irritating character with disgusting, nauseating and stupid moves and fatalities), Kurtis Stryker, while liked by some and hated by others, is still a pretty shitty character, what with his dumb moves that are ill fit for MK games despite how they'd do quite well in certain kinds of games and those who dislike him do so for good reason and Mokap? Man, oh, man, this guy could very well be the stupidest, most unpopular/hated, most pathetic and most ridiculous looking character in the entire series! He is a hidden character in Deadly Alliance, but he never should have been made at all. He has no moves of his own(something which even the other unoriginal characters have), he has a stupid, totally silly backstory and he is easily outclassed and out of place enough in the battles of the MK universe to be easily killed, and quite soon, too. All that being the case, it should be no surprise that he not only died, but he was the first one of the four in this nightmare that was originally Shujinko's to buy it, too! So not only does Freddy have four brand new kills from the MK universe under his belt, but the MK heroes really have to double, if not triple, their efforts to find any means possible and necessary to make sure that surprising them is no longer going to be Freddy's advantage! They've now lost five of their friends! First Nitara, and now these four! Is it any wonder they're now going to such drastic lengths as attempting to have multiple non-gods, a few of which are demons to one extent or another, enter the heavens along with two gods, one of which defied the wishes of his fellow Elder Gods? We will have to see how they handle such a problem as that another time, though, as we are now to concentrate on how Freddy is now intending to go after Noah Puckerman, Finn Hudson, Kurt Hummel and Joseph Hart on his second trip to the Glee universe. These four boys have been in a lot and achieved a lot together, along with how they've been integral members of New Directions on one level or the other. Even if they've also been through a lot, the same can be said of all the other New Directions members, as can the above mentioned things on these four. But it still has to be said that they're in for a lot of trouble and peril when Freddy Krueger comes to see them, even with the condition that they, along with the rest of their schoolmates, including the Rachel and Mercedes who spread the warning, are more ready for Freddy than they were before he showed up the first time to attack Rachel in her dream, then Mercedes and Jesse once they were in it, too, which led to him disposing of the latter(not that Jesse St Jerkass didn't deserve it). Now, then. Will one or more or all of them be able to live through the encounter they have with the dream demon when he comes to try and get them like he got Jesse and almost got Rachel and Mercedes? Or is Freddy going to get rid of one or more or all of them when he comes to the Glee universe a second time and has either another soul to add to his chest to go with the one from last time, one or two additional souls along with that one or three more souls along with that one, the latter meaning he murders all four of them?
