Epilogue

Gladiators in Hell

Freddy landed into darkness first, falling onto his back with a crack. Jason fell beside him. The Oldsmobile landed on them both.

Jason shoved the vehicle out of the way and stood up. Freddy followed suit. He checked himself over. He was human again! How was he...? Krueger turned and looked at his nemesis.

"You," Freddy said, extending his clawed hand. "We got a score to finish." Freddy's entire arm erupted in flame. Jason raised his Machete-arm, which did nothing except sparkle in the fire light. Jason charged. Freddy blocked Jason's machete attack with a counter, kneeing him in the gut. Freddy elbowed Jason's backside before Jason, filled with rage, sliced at Freddy's torso, coming within centimeters of cleaving him in two.

Freddy backed off and took a minute to regain his breath. He was in human form now, so he was more vulnerable than normal. But fortunately, he was still immortal. He raised his glove to strike...

Freddy hesitated. He looked around, feeling a cold sensation creep into his gut. Something wasn't right. There was something uncomfortably familiar about it...

No, it couldn't be, he thought.

"NO!" Krueger shouted.

A large chain shot out from the darkness and hooked into Freddy's arm. The chain pulled his arm back and opened a gaping wound as another hooked into his side. Freddy howled in pain as more hooks shot from the darkness and tore into his flesh. His body was hoisted into the air as smaller chains pierced his cheeks, pulling his face taught. Freddy felt his blood flow down his body; he felt weak now, so he stopped struggling.

Freddy looked up. Jason was bound by chains also, and the entire room was suddenly lit by a bright column of white light. A whooshing sound heralded the arrival of someone else. Freddy turned and saw four ugly-looking demon-like figures enter the room. They were all dressed in S&M type clothes. One had his lips pulled back over his face to reveal gruesome chattering teeth. Another was a rather large... thing. The third was clearly feminine, with a satanic looking contraption that had opened a hole in her throat.

One stuck out as the obvious leader. He held in his hand a small box of some type. His other hand was free; he raised it and gave a dismissive wave. The chains disappeared, and Krueger was dropped to the ground.

Jason now stood opposite Freddy, standing silent and ominous. Freddy turned towards the newcomers, anticipating a new threat. But he lowered his weapon when the leader stepped forward; his face... no, his entire body was white. His head had a grid-pattern carved into his flesh, with pins inserted into every intersection. The box he held in his hands was gold and black in color with strange markings on it.

As he stepped forward, the man looked at each of the monsters before him and let out a smile.

"Now, gentlemen, what seems to be the problem?"

THE END...?
