Though this latest fucking entry in the story was initially goddamn going to be Freddy's third damn trip to the Beast Wars universe, I'm actually now having it so that there's that twist that the orb has made by mistake from time to time when helping/aiding Freddy(you know, the one that made him end the fuck up in the universe of "100 Deeds For Eddie McDowd" when it was supposed to bring him to the universe of "The Jungle Book" and, before that, the "Alpha And Omega" universe when it motherfucking meant to bring him to the "Oliver And Company" universe).

The result of said twist is that he gets brought into the "Monster Rancher" universe for the third damn time, instead, and this time, he's entering into the dream that belongs to Hare, and, while Freddy is, like the other two times in which this twist has fucking happened unintentionally on the part of the orb, somewhat surprised and a little irate, he's perfectly able to get past that feeling and adapt to his new, different, unexpected target.

Now, the last two damn ones who Freddy attacked in this universe were Golem and Pixie, in that order, at two different times, and, though they were fortunate enough to survive by a narrow-ass margin, is Hare going to be that lucky?

Is he going to lose his life, whether he gets into a fight with Freddy and loses that beforehand or not?

Is he going to remain in this dream alone, or is one or more of his friends going to be pulled into his dream, which brings to mind…if that happens, will they die or live, or will one or more of them die while one or more of them survive, whether Hare is killed alongside one or more of them or not?

Only if you read this chapter will you find out how the hell it goes the fuck down, and I am now finished with this introduction, so read away!

Freddy Krueger's Otherworldly Trips

Chapter 57-A Hare Raising Scenario

It was late at night and the heroic monsters and their human friends, who at this time had actually fucking found their way into an even better hotel than the one they'd been in before when, ironically, Golem was nearly killed in a Freddy-spawned nightmare despite how wonderful said previous hotel was otherwise, were only too ready to get to bed, given how they were unbelievably drained from a day which had been awesome and memorable, but very grueling for numerous reasons nevertheless.

While Pixie had, much later on, also almost been killed when she was attacked by Freddy in her dream, it had now been an unbelievably long amount of time since Freddy last visited their universe and chose a specific one of them for his target, so he hadn't exactly been a top focus by this point, even though, for a little while, they knew they had to brace themselves for his return, so they'd been tense about that for a time.

Now, though, things were much more relaxed, both figuratively and literally, and especially on this beautiful night which was about to turn ugly as hell, with said relaxation, again, metaphorical and literal alike, soon to be eliminated entirely, as Hare was going to fucking find out.

By the time he and everyone else were asleep, Hare saw that he wasn't in his hotel bed anymore, but rather, in a dark, spooky forest which was very similar to the dark wood that you would read about in "The Divine Comedy", specifically in the "Dante's Inferno" chapter.

"What in the name of God?" Hare said, unable to grasp what the hell had happened despite his genius level intellect. "I was in my hotel bed just before now! I know I was!"

He looked the fuck around and then asked, suddenly scared: "What the hell is this place, anyway? Some kind of evil forest? From the damn looks of things, it must be."

Just then, Hare, true to cowardly form, got even more fucking afraid when five of the trees grew mouths filled with sharp teeth, as well as scary, burning yellow eyes, and also, as all of the other trees followed suit in terms of developing what the hell these other five did, took turns in saying to Hare: "One, Two, Freddy's Coming For You!"

"Three, Four, Better Lock That Door!"

"Five, Six, Wear A Crucifix!"

"Seven, Eight, You Should Stay Up Late!"

"Nine, Ten, Never Sleep Again!"

Hare gulped, realizing what the fuck this shit was and going: "Oh, no! It's that Freddy Krueger guy who attacked and nearly killed first Golem and then Pixie! He's back! But I can't see where he is! I don't see him anywhere! Help me! Someone help me!"

He started panicking and running about, and continued to do so until he crashed into his teammate Tiger.

"Hare, what the fuck are you doing?" the blue and white horned wolf asked brusquely.

"Tiger?" Hare asked. "Oh, I'm so damn glad it's you. Krueger's returned, and you must have been sucked into this dream of mine! We have to get the fuck out of here and find out where the hell he is before he can kill either of us or anyone else!"

"Yeah, it would appear so." Tiger nodded. "Come on, Hare. I'll lead you the fuck out of here. With my kind of fucking nose, it shouldn't be too hard to find the way out or detect Krueger, wherever the hell he currently is."

"Hey, good to know. This sure is the first time in a while I've been glad to see you instead of angry about your fucking presence." Hare told Tiger.

A little while of this later, Hare was confused as to why they were not only still in the evil forest, but actually further and deeper into it instead of going the right way for the, well, way out.

"Tiger, what the hell gives?" Hare asked. "You were supposed to get us OUT of here, not bring us further in."

"Allow me to fucking explain what the hell gives here, Hare. Crouch down so that I can whisper it into your ear and decrease the chances that Krueger might hear us."

Hare nodded and, just after he'd crouched down, Tiger said into his ear: "I'm not Tiger Of The Wind at all!"

The change from Tiger's voice to Freddy's was quickly followed by the latter's glove raking the fuck across Hare's back from left to right and then down from top to bottom, which caused Hare to scream: "E-RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"You really should back the fuck down right now, bunny boy!" Freddy said as he stood the fuck up and turned his clothes into hunting gear along with transforming his glove into a rifle. "Because otherwise the fear and pain will both only be prolonged."

"NOT ON YOUR LIFE OR MY OWN!" Hare bellowed before he pushed himself up and did a flurry of punches on Freddy, and, though the latter, after going: "AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!" pulled out his hunting knife with his left hand and slashed Hare across the chest, making the rabbit monster screech: "AAAAAAAAGGGHHH!" he then received further hits from Hare.

Hare yelled: "Dragon punch!" and nailed Freddy across the fucking face with the move, an instant before flipping over him and jumping back, followed by screaming: "Dragon kick!" and getting Freddy right in the back with the attack.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFFF! UNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHH!" Freddy let loose, but then he spun around and kneecapped Hare with two shots of his rifle, one in each knee.

"OOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH!" Hare cried, and Freddy told him: "Not too bad. I'm almost impressed. Almost. But you can't fucking do shit now, you pitiful little shit. Not with how the hell I've brought you to your knees while sticking to my guns, which has shot your chances of surviving here down."

While saying this to Hare, he walked on over and tossed his hunting knife at Hare, and, after said object slashed Hare the fuck across the eye, making him scream: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Freddy stated upon getting close enough to do so: "I really am gonna prove a killer headache to you here, you know?" and whacked Hare across the skull with his gun.

"UUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHHHHHHHH!" Hare yelled, and Freddy subsequently grabbed him by the top of his head with his left hand while turning his rifle back into his trademark glove, an action followed by him pulling Hare's head up and using the index and middle finger blades of his glove to cut off Hare's right ear and the ring and pinky finger blades of his glove to do the same thing to Hare's left ear.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEERRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Hare cried, and Freddy cackled while letting go of his head and letting him fall down on his ass, with said laughter being succeeded by Freddy's words of: "And a killer earache to you, too. To say nothing…"

He took a hold of Hare's neck and strangled him, both with his left hand, and, at the same time, he slammed his glove, blades and all, right into Hare's belly, which was followed by his utterance of: "…of a pain in the neck and a bellyache that is just killing you. Yeah, I really do hate your guts. Doesn't that choke you up? And cut you deep?"

"HKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK…!" Hare gulped, and Freddy, turning his hunting outfit back into his signature clothes, told him: "Now, it's wabbit season here. So be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm killin' a wabbit. AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Now, then, I do believe, you lagomorph loser, that you're late, you're late, for a very important date…"

Freddy now let go of Hare and let him drop to the ground before booming: "WITH DEATH!" and slicing him this way and that so that his arms and legs were now gone and he had been royally vivisected, plus Freddy made him burst into flames so that he was a medium, bordering on well-done corpse, even if said corpse pieces burning was brief.

Though the other heroes in the Monster Rancher group had been very sound asleep indeed until now and it had taken everything that had just happened to wake them up, Genki's turning on the light near his bed would be followed by them discovering what the noise was, what happened and what it meant.

"Hare, what the hell?" Genki asked as he and the others wiped the sleepiness from their eyes so that they could see clearly, and Tiger began to say: "We were all dead asleep until all that fucking noise you motherfucking made woke us up, dammit! You…"

But then he saw Hare's cooked pieces and smelled the smoke coming from them, along with how the hell his head was the only part of him that hadn't been burned or cut up(outside of the ear snipping and eye slashing, that is), and gasped: "Oh, my God."

"HARE!" Genki and Holly yelled in unison while everyone barring Tiger, Gray Wolf and Pixie were too fucking shocked to fucking speak at all, and Pixie, remembering what had happened to her the last time he'd visited this universe, said: "No. It cannot be. This is not what I fucking think it is!"

Golem gulped, realizing what the hell she meant and recalling his own near death experience at Freddy's hands prior to Pixie's, and now Hare had, unlike them, been the fucking victim who was actually killed by Freddy for when the hell he paid a visit to their universe.

Gray Wolf put in: "Krueger! He's come back! And now he's killed one of us, even if it was Hare!"

"You took the fucking words right the fuck out of my mouth, Gray Wolf." Tiger told him. "On all counts. He snuck up on us at the least likely time."

"Indeed, it was the time when we least fucking expected it." Pixie stated. "Something must be done. We can't afford to forget about him again, no matter what else comes up. God only knows how many others he might or might not go after, depending. I'd know better than the rest of us, barring Golem. I was helpless in that jar…"

Just after the smoke, which by now had penetrated everyone's nostrils, Tiger's or otherwise, but especially his, Gray Wolf's, Datonare's and Daton's, had cleared up and dissipated into nothingness, Hare's head suddenly turned up to look at them from the now burned bed and had dark red eyes with an evil smile, causing everyone's eyes to fly open even wider, if that was possible.

Freddy's voice then said through it: "Not feeling so fucking cozy and blissful and like you've fucking got it made now, are you? I made sure that Hare's essence would float as so to render the smoke detectors useless in order for things to happen as they did, while your being so dead asleep enabled the rest of what the hell I did to him to be child's play, all during my fun little walk in the woods with him! It was wabbit season before, but whenever the hell I visit this fucking universe again, you're next, Mocchi, because then, it'll be duck season, with plenty of wolf traps all over the place to boot, which means, Tiger, Gray Wolf, Datonare, Daton, that I'll be having a howling good time seeing the four of you nice and poached and skinned while I cut off Mocchi's bill and arms and roast him over a campfire as the perfect duck dinner to enjoy while I wear one of the four fur coats I'll make the fuck out of the four of you! I also used his essence to ensure he wouldn't become a lost disc until I wanted him too, and now you can all be sure that I look forward to all of what happens next time I'm here, especially given how my butchering a rabbit reminds me of how the hell I started becoming what I became and am now, always and forever, so I'll be killing you, Genki, and you, Holly, as a means to butcher a kid and a teenager for old times sake! And there isn't shit that any of you can do about this! There are multitudes of good monsters and just as good people who always live here. There is this one bad monster who has now come here thrice and will continue to in the future. AND THOSE MULTITUDES DO NOT FUCKING STAND A SNOWBALL'S CHANCE IN HELL! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Hare then turned into a lost disc, with all of his pieces joining together into one, and Genki then said: "Guys, we have a lot of warnings to spread and ideas to think up for how to counter Krueger here. Let's move it!"

The others all nodded and they made their way out of the hotel while making sure not to miss a single individual, monster or human, in terms of letting them know what had happened, when it had and what it meant, with Holly having taken hold of Hare's lost disc and showing it to whoever they gave the heads up to as proof, making sure not to leave out a damn thing that needed to be known in any of the instances.

Golem and Pixie could feel their own, barely survived ordeals with Freddy happening all over again despite how both of them knew they weren't, and this was going to be one long, scary night for everyone, especially these heroes.

Freddy, in the meantime, was back in his original universe's dreamland boiler room, and let me tell you, he was only too pumped and proud about what the hell he'd goddamn done back there, yelling to the sky the following words.

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I AM THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST OF THE BEST! I CAN ONLY FUCKING IMAGINE HOW SHOCKED AND TERRIFIED THE OTHERS IN THAT GODDAMN GROUP MUST BE! AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOW ACTUALLY GLAD THAT MY FUCKING ORB HAD THAT SURPRISE TWIST THIS TIME! THIS ROCKED MORE THAN A FUCKING EARTHQUAKE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WHAT THE HELL I WOULDN'T GODDAMN GIVE TO SEE THE LOOK ON THAT LITTLE RABBIT COWARD'S FACE AGAIN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A BLAST AND A VICTORY LIKE NONE I'VE FUCKING FELT IN A DAMN GOOD, LONG WHILE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Zooming on over to his throne as so not to get too carried away, Freddy sat there for what felt like centuries before he stood up and walked over to his orb, putting across: "But let's not leave out what the hell fucking comes next, and what the hell that is? Why, that's exactly what the hell I'm about to fucking find out."

Once at his orb, he hoisted it up and said to it: "Though you are not to give me another one of your occasional twists, the fucking fact that I was actually happy about the one you gave me notwithstanding, you are to give me where I'm going, whose dream I'm entering and the portal to the dream of my new target."

All at once did the orb do what the hell he fucking said, and once it did so, he, knowing that the portal was present, put it down after saying: "Cammy White in the Street Fighter universe, huh? Well, another new-ass universe to visit! How about that? Time to get my ass in gear. I don't want to late for my date with Cammy. After all, the sooner she sees me, the sooner I'll fucking knock her bitch ass dead! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

And so it was that Freddy made his way through the passageway that the orb had made for him, which leads to the wondering of the following things.

Was Cammy going to live through her upcoming encounter with Freddy, or was she going to perish like Hare did when Freddy made himself known to the rabbit?

Would it only be Cammy who Freddy terrorized in the Street Fighter universe, or was it going to involve others being taken into her dream when Freddy made an attempt on her life?

If it did involve others, how many were going to live, how many were going to die, or, rather, were all of them going to live or were all of them going to die, whether Freddy managed to kill Cammy or not?

Just read the next one of the chapters when once I've added it onto this story to know, and, as is made well clear by these last of words, this chapter has now ended.

END OF CHAPTER 57

So much for Hare!

I can only fucking imagine how the hell fucking satisfying this was to any and all Monster Rancher fans who love Tiger and/or hate Hare(and I'm one of them on both counts, as is well known by now).

A nice old catering to them all, indeed, and I'm so happy that I was able to give you said catering!

Isn't it great to see Hare get his, especially knowing how, given how things happened in the episode of Monster Rancher which introduced him, "Hare's Trick", he shouldn't have been one of the rebels/goodies in the first place and thus anything and everything about him being part of that group, simultaneous friend and enemy relationship with Tiger or otherwise, is fraudulent and forced on the part of the creators who really should have made the episode better executed and with a better character for the seventh member of what would become The Courageous Seven, both considerably.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my fanfic "Sic Semper Tyr-Hare-Nus", which is also a must-read for any and all Monster Rancher fans who love Tiger and/or hate Hare, and the introduction, along with what I write after the story itself, which I hope you'll read, as well, has ended, will make everything perfectly clear, believe me.

Anyhow, great stuff, given all I've just written above, wasn't it?

But now I'm going to make it so that the next chapter will focus on Freddy Krueger's very first visit to the Street Fighter universe, in which he will be entering the dream of Cammy White!

Will she survive?

Will she die?

Will anyone get yanked into her dream during her confrontation with Freddy, and how many will live or die if so, whether she is killed like Freddy means for her at the start of her dream or not?

There's only one damn way to know, and that's to read the chapter that will be coming next whenever the hell I find the time to fucking post it.

For now, though, I would like ratings and reviews for this one, please!
