Spells and Louds

Chapter 89: Nightmares part 1

Lincoln is running through a forest and uses his blaster to make an ice barrier behind him. But then it gets destroyed by whatever is chasing him.

Lincoln jumps over a small cliff and lands on the other side. He then creates another rice barrier and runs for it. But whatever is chasing him also jumps and smashes the ice wall.

Lincoln enters a wrecked town and looks for a place to hide. And he finds an old music store and takes cover.

Lincoln pants heavily and tries to stay quiet. All of a sudden the creature walks by the music store and searches somewhere else.

Lincoln sighs in relief. 'That was too close' he says to himself.

Lincoln then realizes he was not alone in the music store, he sees a figure in the area. It looked all mangled up.

Lincoln approaches the dead body and is shocked to see it was the severed remains of his sister Luna.

"N-No! Luna!" cried Lincoln as he cradles his sister's head and torso.

"L-Lincoln?" he looks to see that she was looking at him with bloodshot eyes. "L-Luna?!"

"R-Run! Please! Get out of here!" said Luna then she dies.

Lincoln starts to cry, but the something grans his neck and forces him to face the creature.

Lincoln is horrified to see that the monster was Lynn as a giant abomination like beast.

Standing at ten feet tall, large muscles everywhere, black saliva from the mouth, jaws that split into four, three eyes, body covered in her clothes but larger and almost torn apart and what's worse is her sick demonic laugh. "There you are little bro!"

She then pulls something out of her mouth and shows it to him. And to Lincoln's horror it was the squirrel costume.

"I need your good luck again!" said monster Lynn. Then the squirrel suit starts to move and opens up like a living creature.

Lynn slowly brings him down to the suit. "No! No! No! Nooooooooooooooooo!"

Lincoln wakes up screaming. He looks around and sees that Linka and Courage weren't there. He then remembers that she was having a slumber party at Jordan's and brought Courage with her.

Lincoln curls up on himself and then the door opens to reveal Absol and Luna.

They immediately approach him. Lincoln takes one look at her and hugs her tightly.

"Whoa! Lincoln, what's going on?!" said Luna as she hugs him back.

Absol tries to see what was in Lincoln's mind, but he couldn't. "Something is wrong, did you have a nightmare?" asked Absol.

Lincoln didn't respond, all he does is cling to Luna as if he needs her.

Luna felt hurt that her brother was scared. "I'll stay with you tonight. If it makes you feel better" said Luna.

"I-I'd like that" replied Lincoln. Luna gets in bed with him and they stay hugging each other while asleep.

Absol looks around the room and feels like something was there and whatever it was, was not good. Absol gets onto the bed and lays down by the footing of the bed and sleeps.

Thankfully Lincoln doesn't get anymore nightmares, but he does feel scared after what he saw.

(The next day)

Neil is in the kitchen making some breakfast for them. "Ahh Saturdays. Gotta love Saturdays" said Neil.

"Gabite!" said his Pokémon as he puts the pancakes onto a plate.

Soon Leni and Roselia comes down and so does Sunset with Eevee and Loudred who looks confused. "Has anyone sees Luna? She wasn't in the room" said Sunset.

Gwen, Timmy, Poof and Lily also arrive.

"No, I don't think so" said Neil.

Then they see Absol coming down and looking back. Luna follows after while carrying a still sleeping Lincoln.

All of them look at her confused.

"Umm, what is happening?" asked Gwen.

"Aww, he looks cute when you carry him like that" said Leni.

Luna then places Lincoln onto the chair next to her, which he wakes up from and rubs his eyes.

"Linc, something wrong?" asked Sunset.

But Lincoln doesn't respond.

"Last night, I heard him screaming. Abe and I went to see what was wrong and he was scared out of his mind" said Luna.

"Almost as if he saw a dark entity" said Absol.

"So I decided to stay with him for the night to make him feel better" said Luna.

"Wait a minute! How come we didn't hear him scream?" asked Timmy.

Then Neil gets an idea. "Harv! Put up surveillance of the hallways last night!" said Neil.

A screen comes down in front of them and they see the hallway. Luna comes out with Abe and they rush to the room of Lincoln and Linka.

"Harv, did you hear anything last night?" asked Gwen.

"No, my scanners didn't pick up anything" replied Harv.

Then Sunset has an idea she saw from a TV show. "Harv! Rewind to the part before Luna and Abe go to the room and enhance the volume" said Sunset.

Harv does do and they all hear a tiny screaming sound. Harv enhances it again and it sounded like Lincoln.

"Something is wrong here" said Neil. "Why would his scream by something we can't hear?"

"Also, why did Absol hear him? Aren't our other Pokémon capable of hearing low frequencies like that?" asked Leni.

"I don't know why I was able to hear him, including Luna as well" said Absol.

Then Timmy listened to the low frequency sounds again. "Wait a minute! Rewind!"

They get confused at what Timmy was talking about. "Guys come closer!" aid Timmy.

All of them, including Lincoln listen in closely. Before Lincoln's low frequency scream they hear this dark deep laugh, almost like it wasn't from their world.

"Whoa! What the heck was that?!" asked Neil.

"Dad, is this house built on an old burial ground?" asked Sunset.

"I don't think so Sunset. We did a steady background check on the land, I'm pretty sure there are no hauntings here" said Gwen.

"Leon, Sergei and I have had some experience with paranormal stuff back in the Philippines and we do not wanna do it again" said Neil. "Perhaps I can get them here and we can figure out what the heck is going on."

"Sounds like a plan" said Luna. She then looks to her still drowsy brother who isn't even eating his pancakes.

Then the doors open. "Guys we're home!" said Linka. Courage and her enter the kitchen and see the worried looks they all have.

Linka and Courage look at them confused. "Am I missing something?"

(Hours later)

Leon and Sergei finally arrive and listen to the audio from the hallway.

"Well, whatever it is, sound demonic" said Leon.

"How can you guys tell?" asked Linka.

"Let's look at the facts. Absol can hear it because he's the disaster Pokémon, Luna can hear it because of her ties to the demonic crown, it only made its official sound after Lincoln's nightmare and it sounds creepy and less ethereal" said Sergei.

"Man, it feels good to be back in the whole paranormal crud" said Neil with some joy.

"But I got a bad feeling that this evil presence is not done yet" said Leon.

"Chances it might come back and we all know what happens to dark paranormal forces that come back" said Sergei.

Then Neil, Lincoln and Linka remember the ghost horror movies they've seen, like the Conjuring and the possession, also the curse of La Llorona.

Then Luna gets an idea. "How about I use my demon powers to find this thing?"

"Sounds …. Like a really good plan" said Timmy.

"Well, it's worth a shot" said Leni.

"But we have no idea whats gonna happen if you encounter this thing" said Neil.

"Pops! I got this, I've faced a lot of dark and evil things. Im pretty sure I can handle whatever is haunting my baby bro!" said Luna.

She then closes her eyes and summons luscious and out of nowhere the crown appears and is placed on her head.

Dark energy envelops Luna and she is now Lucified Luna. "Alright! Now to find this thing!" she says in her demonic tone.

Luna heads upstairs leaving the others a bit unsettled.

"Her dark voice doesn't match the laugh" said Leon.

Upstairs Luna looks to the hallway that leads to Lincoln and Linka's room. She sniffs the air but smells nothing. She then feels the ground but senses nothing and finally she opens each door and looks inside and still nothing.

"What else can I do?" she asks herself. Then she gets an idea.

Luna closes her eyes and opens them again as they glow bright yellow and she switches to spirit vision.

In Luna's point of view she can see small patches of boot prints that are glowing and she sees scratch marks on the walls. She feels them and sense the dark energy, the claw marks were four claws.

She then enters the room and sees the boot prints and claw marks lead all the way to the bed of Lincoln. But she is shocked at what she sees.

All around the bed area of her brother were boot prints and claw marks on the floor, ceiling, walls, his bed and stuff. Only his side was marked, but not Linka's. "W-What in the bloody burning hell's?!"

Luna then sees that the window has some marks as well. She looks around and sees that the trail leads to the backyard and to the side of the house.

Luna jumps out of the window and follows the trail.

In the living room they all go through the recording again. But then Gwen sees Luna in the front yard looking at everything.

"Hey guys" said Gwen getting everyone's attention.

"What the heck is Luna doing?" asked Sunset.

"Maybe she picked up the scent?" said Linka.

"Let's go" said Neil.

They all head outside and look at Luna who was looking around the house.

"Lunes, what are you doing?" asked Leon.

"I'm using my spirit vision and I see a lot of boot prints and claw marks all over the place, Lincoln's bed area was covered in them and they all led out of the house and right in front of here. Man this is insane!" said Lucified Luna.

"So, something ghost like is haunting Lincoln?" asked Leni.

"Sure seems like it sis" replied Luna.

Then she follows the trail all the way to the great gate. "And I don't think it was from our world" said Luna who was now angry.

"So, some spectral freak thinks it can just come here and mess with our little brother?" said Sunset.

"Big mistake!" said Timmy.

They all agreed that this was personal. "But what are we up against?" asked Leon.

Luna removes the crown. "I don't know dudes. This ghost seems powerful and unrecognizable to me and luscious" said Luna.

"Then I know someone who can help us" said Neil. They all knew what he meant.

"As long as we get rid of him, I'm okay with it" said Lincoln.

(FutureTech HQ)

They all park their vehicles and enter the building.

Inside they spot Gyro and Martin playing checkers and Victor is busy modifying a Tesla Tank.

"Are we interrupting something?" asked Neil.

The three of them notice the Spellman's

"Oh, hey guys. Just having some fun here" said Martin.

Then Gyro moves his piece over five times. "I win" said Gyro. "Are you kidding me?!" said Martin in anger, but Victor laughs.

"This is the tenth time you beat me! How?!" said Martin.

"I've been to different worlds, so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing" said Gyro.

"Alright then. What do you guys want?" asked Martin.

They then tell them of what has been happening to Lincoln and whatever it is that has been haunting him.

Then Lincoln needed to tell them something. "Guys, this wasn't the first time."

They all looked to him in shock. Luna approached Lincoln. "Bro, how long have you had these nightmares?"

"For the past three days" replied Lincoln with sadness. They all gasp at this answer.

"Why didn't you tell us?!" asked Leni with worry.

"At first they seemed like small things that didn't really mattered. But after what happened last night, now it's a problem" said Lincoln.

Gyro then approaches Lincoln and looks in his eyes. "Oh boy" said Gyro as he stands back up.

"You have been marked with sleepiness" said Gyro.

"I'm sorry, what?" said Neil.

"He's been marked by a dream demon not a ghost. So this creature has been toying with him until it was time to really mess it up" said Gyro.

"So, for the past three days. The demon has been giving him nightmares that he could face?" asked Linka.

"I believe so. Now Lincoln, what was your nightmare last night?" asked Gyro.

Lincoln then told them of the Lynn abomination that was chasing him and was trying to force him to wear the living squirrel suit and the worst part, seeing his sister Luna all mangled and severed.

They all were shocked at this. Luna sat next to her brother and hugged him tightly, in which he also hugged her for dear life and started to cry.

"This is not good. This dream demon is now using his memories of the past to become the nightmares that he will see and I fear it's going to get worse" said Gyro.

"W-What does that mean Guardian?" asked Lincoln with some tears.

Gyro didn't want to say this, but he had to. "The next time you dream. The most darkest memory will become so horrific, it might ….. Kill you."

Luna hugs him tighter and Lincoln does the same. Leni also joins in. the others are shocked out of their minds.

Neil looks to his now terrified son and then back to Gyro, who looks like he knows something.

"Guardian, what do you know about this demon?" asked Neil.

"There is only one demon who can do this kind of heinous and dark act, but I didn't think he would actually come through into this world" said Gyro.

Luna looks to the guardian in anger. "Who? Who is this sick twisted freak whose trying to kill my brother?!"

"Years ago, somewhere in the seventies or eighties. There was a man who toyed with the preschoolers of Badham Preschool. After they found out who was making their kids upset, they sent him to court. Only to have him be released, so the parents went after him and burned him in his own home. But when death came for him, he was given a second chance by demons to become a dream demon and kill the children who tattletailed on him" said Gyro.

Lincoln's eyes shot open, Sunset covers her mouth, Neil, Leon, Sergei and Victor gasp.

"I think you all know who he is" said Gyro.

Luna looks at Lincoln who was no longer crying, but instead he just looks confused. "Bro?"

Sunset sighs. "H-His name, is … Frederick "Freddy" Charles Krueger."

"He goes by another short name" said Leon.

"Freddy Krueger" said Lincoln in fear.

"Wait a minute! So where is he now?!" asked Gwen.

"After he almost killed another kid from the past, he was teleported by the being known as the Entity. A malevolent dark goddess, who takes killers and survivors to a world where they will please her" said Gyro.

"The realm of the Entity! Dead by Daylight!" said Sunset in shock.

"Are you kidding me?" said Victor.

"It appears that what you guys play online is actually a dimension somewhere in the multiverse" said Gyro.

"Hang on. So how do you know this entity?" asked Leni.

"I met her once, she and I have a rivalry. She defies the nexus from which I created and I hate the realm she made and all of the atrocities she has committed, but I have to leave her be" said Gyro.

"But why is she letting Freddy out?" asked Timmy.

"That is something I need to look up to, but right now I know how we can keep Freddy away and out for good" said Gyro.

"We have to go inside Lincoln's dreams?" asked Neil. "Precisely!" replied Gyro. "But the problem is how."

"You're the guardian, can't you make a spell that can bring us to his mind?" asked Martin.

"That is not in my jurisdiction" replied Gyro. "Also, I'd be violating a lot of interdimensional laws and making some beings of magic pretty angry."

Then Neil has an idea. "What about the night elves? They have Faerie dragons that can bring us to the dream world."

"Good idea, but no. Many of the faerie dragons are being used to either hunt down Sylvannas Windrunner or help Vol'jin and Bwonsamdi find the dark voice that messed with the order or the warchief's" said Gyro.

Then Sunset has an idea. "I think I know someone, or better yet some pony who can help us."

Gyro knew what she meant. "Then I guess it's time to go home."

(An hour later)

They all meet up in front of the great gate.

"Okay, so Sunset and I are going to Equestria to enlist the aid of Princess Luna. Anyone else wanna join?" said Gyro.

"I'm in" said Neil.

Then Luna stepped up. "Same here dude."

"Alrighty then. Looks like we have our teams. Better say something before we head off" said Gyro.

Luna went to Lincoln and hugged him. "I'll be back bro, we're gonna fix this."

"I know. Please be careful sis!" said Lincoln. She then kisses his forehead and walks back to the others.

"Alright guys. You ready?" asked Gyro.

They all nodded, then they looked at Sunset, who was a bit nervous.

"You can stay behind if you want sis, there's no shame in bailing" said Luna.

Sunset sighs. "Our brother is in danger and I know the world better than anyone. I'm ready to return to the world I came from."

Gyro then opens the portal and they all step inside. "By the way, there's a chance we might get ponified" said Gyro.

"I'm sorry, what?!" said Neil and Luna.

To be continued …
