{Author's Note 1: What follows is a set up for a sequel to Celestial Slumber that incorporates a certain rematch into its plot. However you hold the power to end the story here. If you want to believe Talos and the Uber Freddy were pulled into the black hole and Freddy Krueger was finally once and far all wiped from existence and that Varissa DeGenarro is living a happy life on Earth-2 and with her dream powers is able to visit with her lost friends when she sleeps at night then you can choose that ending and stop reading or listening right here. If you choose that path then I hope you enjoyed the story of the Beowulf and Freddy's final killing spree. However if you want there to be a "what comes next" then keep reading and hopefully you will enjoy what is in store.)

(Author's Note 2: The following recap of Jason Voorhees activity after the events of the movie Jason X are compiled from the plots of the four Black Flame Published Jason X novel sequels Jason X #2: The Experiment, Jason X #3 Planet of the Beast, Jason X #4 Death Moon and Jason X #5 To The Third Power. The only part of the following recap that is of my own creation is what happens after the prisoner's ship is launched into space. Everything before that part of the recap is from other author's works in the official Jason X sequel books}

EPILOGUE II:

Destiny and Destruction

The fabric of fate is woven with threads of destiny, entwining the trajectories of lives and events in an intricate tapestry. Some moments, monumental in their impact, appear to be preordained, as if the universe has conspired to bring them to pass. The inevitability of these occurrences is palpable, like the ticking of a clock counting down to a predetermined moment.

The confluence of circumstances, the alignment of stars, and the whispers of the past all converge to shape the course of history. The forces of fate, like an unstoppable juggernaut, propel events forward, unrelenting and unyielding. The path to these moments is often paved with the choices and actions of individuals, yet the outcome seems foreordained, a testament to the mysterious and unfathomable nature of destiny.

Through the labyrinthine corridors of time and space, two entities of unrelenting destruction have been forging a trajectory of annihilation, their paths intersecting like the crossing of the blades of a deadly scissor. The fabric of reality trembles with anticipation, as the cosmic clockwork aligns the gears of fate, orchestrating a confrontation of apocalyptic proportions.

Like two dark stars, their malevolent energies have been drawing each other in, gravitating towards a singularity of devastation. The threads of destiny, woven from the very essence of chaos, bind them together, ensuring their collision course.

Through the veil of time, their presence echoes, a reverberation of destruction that transcends the boundaries of space and dimension. The chronicles of their carnage, etched in the annals of history, foretell a final confrontation that will shatter the foundations of existence.

In this ultimate showdown, the very essence of destruction will be distilled, as these two forces of devastation unleash their unbridled fury upon each other. The cosmos will tremble, as the outcome hangs in the balance, poised to reshape the fabric of reality. Only one will emerge victorious, their name etched in the eternal chronicles of destruction, as the embodiment of unrelenting carnage.

Two years before the events aboard the Beowulf...

Brodski held tight to the nano enhanced Jason Voorhees as they fell into Earth-2's atmosphere. Their bodies burning up as they fell. Brodski died knowing not only had he ensured Rowan, KM-14 and Tsunaron would survive but also that Jason would surely finally die. He was correct, for a time. All that remained of Jason after burning up in the atmosphere of Earth-2 was his mask which landed in a lake. However two nano-ants that rebuilt Jason into the Uber Jason survived the fall to Earth-2 and they began reproducing and spreading out to rebuild Jason through his mask which still held a piece of his dna and over time they did.

They used organic, inorganic, and nuclear waste runoff to finish the job and eventually Jason rose from the lake and made his way to the nearby power plant where he went on his first new killing spree. He was eventually apprehended and taken into military custody where experiments were done but eventually he again broke free and left a path of death and destruction before being launched into space where he landed on barren moon 666 until being revived by a mad scientist and his assistant who were both hell bent on creating an offspring of Jason Voorhees and in the end they succeeded in doing so. His name was Free Voorhees.

Jason again found his way from bondage, killing the mad scientist and others in his employ and once again found himself launched into space. This time landing on a populated moon where fate would have it a new old earth style summer camp had been erected. Jason was right at home and enjoyed a retro killing spree before being subdued once more and placed on a prison planet where over time he killed every last inmate and inhabitant of said planet except for one man, Free Voorhees, his biological son born in a lab from the dna of his father. Free attempted to flee the prison planet when a new ship of prisoners arrived. He attempted to launch the ship, the prisoners, and himself far away from his murderous father Jason Voorhees but in the end only succeeded in launching the prisoners and their ship as he had been injured by Jason and was unable to board the ship of with them.

Though he was not left behind to be killed by his father because moments before the ship of prisoners launched Jason Voorhees had grabbed hold of the outer hull of the ship and was launched with the ship. It had no pilot and no direct destination set.

Eventually though, five years after Jason Voorhees was rebuilt in a lake on Earth-2, the prisoner ship fell from orbit and crash landed on Moon #5980 in the Munai Galaxy renamed "Manus Dei," latin for "The Hand Of God."

In 2133 Earth-1 evacuated all humans in gigantic space vessels called "Life Boats" and took them to humanity's new home on Earth-2. One of the gigantic transport "Life Boats" holding 250,000 humans from Earth-1 passed through a spacial anomaly on their way to Earth-2 and it had somehow teleported them to the Munai Galaxy and they crash landed on Moon #5980. Not one life was lost and no one was injured and the moon was very much like a smaller Earth-1. It had an atmosphere, oxygen, wildlife, fertile soil, forests, jungles, deserts, bodies of water, etcetera. The humans on that ship had said the "Hand of God" had brought them to safety, and so it was given the name Manus Dei.

Their "Life Boat" ship was in bad shape after the crash. Its power cells and comms still were functional, but it would not fly, not without aide from their fellow humans back on Earth-2. The countless shuttles that were housed in the shuttle bay at the bottom of the ship were all destroyed when the ship had crashed. However they did constantly try to send out an but never received a response or any indication they were being searched for. They were so far away they knew it was a one in a trillion chance of rescue.

The humans of Manus Dei had no way of knowing that distance wasn't the only reason their SOS calls were in vain. True, their distance would be enough for their calls for help to go unheard, but the main reason was much more complex. The spacial anomaly may have sent them multiple galaxies away from their home but it had also sent them back in time three hundred and twenty five years.

By the year 2460 on Manus Dei the many generations that had lived and died had completely lost their true origins to time and legend. The people of Manus Dei became a theocracy and lived under a one world government. Teaching of God creating their ancestors and placing them on Manus Dei to do his will. Being smaller than Earth, Manus Dei's government enforced strict population control. Any unified partnership was granted permission to produce one offspring. To further enforce population control a lottery for humans sixty years old and up was made that chose many yearly sacrifices to Dante (What they thought of as their God). For over two hundred years that sacrifice was carried out by burning the selected humans in the fires of Dante.

Some technology had survived from 2133 such as small energy weapons and even first aid scanners but most was lost to time. The original "Life Boat" ship was buried almost entirely in the ground of Manus Dei in their capital city and the modern population saw it as a holy place, a temple to Dante and it had been decorated to serve that purpose. The name Dante was given to their god many years prior as the people of Manus Dei had seen the name "Dante" printed in many places on their "temple". In reality it was the "Dante Corporation" who had designed and built the life boat ships that had transported the population of Earth-1 to Earth-2 in the year 2133. The fires of Dante were in fact a thruster of the "Life Boat" that was activated from one of the only remaining control panels on what remained above the ground of Manus Dei of the ship itself. Sacrifices would be placed in the path of the thruster and burned alive to appease Dante.

In 2460 the prisoner ship that housed over five hundred of the worst of the worst most violent insane criminals from the galaxy where Earth-2 existed passed through the same anomaly. They also crash landed on Manus Dei. The prisoner ship also had a stow away, Jason Voorhees. When the prisoner ship crashed the surviving prisoners raided local villages that shared a giant lake on Manus Dei. The prisoners raped, murdered, and pillaged all while spreading blasphemous lies to the people about where they had come from and more. In fact they had been speaking the truth.

The Manus Dei government received the reports and was preparing to stage an attack on what they were calling demonic forces sent from enemies of Dante to kill his people. So they sent out the forces of their Manus Dei Military but when they arrived at the villages they witnessed the entire population of said villages were all dead. They blamed the demonic heathens but all the enemies of Dante were slaughtered as well and one squadron of the military witnessed a miracle. They witnessed and told of Dante himself, a tall large manlike entity who appeared to have the skin of man and machine, was in the process of striking down his enemies who had come to Manus Dei to kill his people. A solider tried to approach Dante to kneel before him but was struck down as well. The leader of Manus Dei gave the orders to stand down lest they be judged by the almighty Dante.

In the aftermath the government constructed a large barrier around the lake and its surroundings and now empty villages and they erected statues around the barrier of their savior, their god, Dante (Jason Voorhees). From that day forward all sacrifices would be sent into Dante's villages around the lake now named "The Tears Of Dante". Also instead of imprisonment, from the day Dante arrived the government enforced a new law. If you were found guilty of blasphemy, lewd acts, adultery, consumption of illegal substances, murder, rape, and many other charges you were sentenced to face Dante. Any guilty person who was sent into the empty villages that surrounded The Tears Of Dante and was still alive after three days would be forgiven of all crimes and allowed to leave the barrier around Dante's land as this would be a sign of Dante's mercy. No man or woman had yet to receive said mercy.

Jason Voorhees had a new home for a time on Manus Dei and was worshipped as the God and savior of its people. At the time of 2460 the civilization on Manus Dei resembled Earth-1's 19th century but with some surviving technology paired with the still evolving race on the planet.

Year 2462. Five Years After The Destruction Of The Beowulf...Two Years after Jason Voorhees and Prisoner Ship's arrival…

An object streaked across the night sky plummeting to the surface of Manus Dei. The object struck the ground creating a massive crater. A local scribe, purveyor of news, and a senior messenger of the government of Manus Dei, William Attonison who was known in many villages as "Billy Boy" was trekking back to the capitol after delivering word of a government decree to a local village when he saw the object streak across the sky and crash. Billy Boy rushed to the crater. He peered into the hole and saw a silver metallic sphere resting at the bottom. He watched with curiosity as the surface of the sphere began to shimmer and ripple as the sphere began to change shape and appear as if four razor sharp blades were rising from it.
