In a dark cave where barely any light or life can be seen one person stands alone in the darkness. This person wrapped in red armor with gold lining this person carries a special sword whose blade admits a green light. This person is the famous maverick hunter Zero Omega. Despite there being any visibility zero was able to walk through with ease see he's been there many times before because he has.
" ok here again this time I'm getting some answers…
" run for your life my boy RUNNNNN! Shouted a mysterious Voice
" You!
Turning around Zero was hit in the face by a nearly blinding light. Barely able to see he was still able to make out the figure standing in front of him. It was the man who he's seen many times before in his dreams but this time thing seems to be different Zero could hear concern in his voice & the fear for his safety.
" I want answers! No games!
"my boy before he finds you!
" what? Who's he?
" run my son RUNNNNN! Shouted a mysterious Voice again.
" wait! Son?
Trying to catch the man but before he could grab him he disappeared along with the light leaving Zero alone frustrated.
" Damn Not Again!
Not willing to give up Zero traveled deeper into the cave, as he continued his trek he couldn't help but wonder was he was suppose to run from. Before he could think any further he began hearing crying echoing from a distance, taking off with great speed he rushed to find the source. He soon found little girl with blonde hair & a white dress sitting down crying to herself.
" uh who are you? What are you doing here?
" I don't know…he brought them here?
" who's he?
" The bad man… he wants you…too
" Me…Why? (This is too weird, well I can't leave her here)… c'mon kid your coming with me. He said gently taking her by the hand.
Despite putting up a little resistance the girl followed zero quietly, reaching what seem like the end of the tunnel zero saw a strange glow coming from around the corner. As they made their way around the girl's grip became noticeably stronger as if she knew what was around that corner. Coming around the corner Zero was surprised to find an entrance leading to what he did not expect to find.
" A Boiler Room? Wait here kid I'm going to have a look around.
" No Wait please don't go in there! She screamed holding him back
" What? Why?
" that's where he took them.
" Who!? Turning back...
Upon turning back much to his surprise & horror it was no longer a little girl but a charred skeleton in the same dress tightly gripping his hand while staring deep into his eyes whispering
" Freddy Kruger… before turning to ash
"What the hell is this!?
Unable to figure out what was happening, the cave began to echo with the sound of a derange lullaby.
1, 2 Freddy's coming' for you.
3, 4 better lock the door.
5, 6 grab a crucifix.
7, 8 better stay up late.
9, 10 never sleep again.
As the sound of children singing that song over & over kept getting louder in Zero's ears causing him to fall to his knees in agony this was another pain he's felt before it was different it was worse. Seconds away from screaming his eyes shot open to find himself back in his room at Maverick Hunter HQ, as looked around looked normal. As Zero sat up wiping the sweat from his brow dressed in nothing but red boxers, suddenly his door flew open revealing Iris Slowly walking in. Dressed in a blues gown she proceeded to sit next to him placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Zero are you ok?
" huh!? Oh Iris I'm ok just a Nightmare. He said taking a deep breath
"want to talk about it?
"Sure but there's one with that. He said with a toothy grin
"what? She asked confused
Before iris could react Zero grabbed by her neck staring at her with rage in his eyes, furiously throwing her against the wall. Moving fast Zero hopped off his bed making it across the room to his shelf that carries his sword collection unsheathing two hanzo swords preparing to fight with the imposter
" you're not Iris… now why not show your real face bastard!
" you asked for it Blondie. Said the imposter rising to her feet speaking in a different voice.
Zero watch with disgust as the flesh of the fake Iris began to melt away falling to the ground burning holes into the floor. The mere sight of this transformation made zero sick to his stomach however not sick enough to make him drop his guard but heighten it. I'm a matter of seconds Iris was gone leave something else a disfigured man covered in burns dressed in a red & green sweater, blue pants, & dirty fedora with knives sticking out of his right hand glove.
" you've got some ball on you for trying to attack me in my own room Maverick!
?: Maverick sorry Zero I think you got me mixed something else but by the time I'm done you wish I was.
" oh yeah take this! He yelled flinging the sword in his right hand at the attacker.
The man did nothing to move stood there take the blow head on in the chest pining him to the wall behind him. Zero smiled triumphantly thinking the man was all talk, however that smile soon faded when he noticed them man laughing as he pulled the sword out & dropped it to the floor, this caught Zero by surprise but he was still determine to bring him down.
" you're good but you're still going down. He yelled leaping across the bed at him.
Not even flinching the man raised one of his knife fingers twitching it causing Zero freeze in midair over his bed.
" What the hell I can't move.
"it going to take more than steel to stop Freddy..
" wait as in Kruger!?
Fred: the one & only I've been gone for way too long time for a comeback party. He said as he squeezed his fist forcing Zero to straighten up & drop his sword.
" well this comeback is going to be a short one when I'm done with you…
Fred: cheer up Zero this party will be fun full of kids… you like kids Zero? Cause they like you…
Looking down Zero watch as his bed began to sink in leading to a pool of acid at the bottom however the horrifying part was the faces of children moaning & crying in agony including the little girl from his dream who was standing over them watching zero from below with a look of concern before disappearing. The sickening sight filled Zero with rage as he looked up at Kruger.
"You sick little!
Fred: care for an acid bath I hear it's great for the skin.
Just he was about to drop Zero in an orb of light burst through the door fly past a surprised Zero right into Kruger's gut causing him to fall over in pain. Looking up with rage he knew who had stopped his fun & decided to leave before he got caught.
Fred: parties over for now catch you later kid… he said as he dived into the bed before it returned to normal with Zero falling on it.
" GET BACK HERE THE AIN'T OVER YET! He yelled beating on the bed
"peace My boy you'll get you chance
" who are you?
" A friend I am here to grant you a gift that will help you fight that creature however you must share this gift with those who will help you with this fight…
The light then reaches out touching Zero's brow causing it to glow like a blue triangular crystal similar to the one on his helmet…
"now awaken my dream hunter! Yelled the light as it exploded drowning the room with light.
