Slender Man vs. Freddy Krueger

## Slender Man vs. Freddy Krueger by GimmyJibbsjr.

(Slender Man was created by Eric Knudsen. Freddy Krueger was created by Wes Craven. This story has been edited to remove grammar errors.)

The night had come, silence had befallen the small neighborhood, and in this one, small house, a young boy slept. He had been so scared for so long, and but because he was afraid of what he may see in reality, he tried to escape into his on reality. His dreams.

As he drifted off into the realm of dreams, he had failed to notice that his faceless friend was nearby, waiting for just that to happen. For the little boy to go to sleep...

After waiting a moment, the figure made his move. He warped into the bedroom silently, and much to his satisfaction, the boy had quickly fallen asleep. The figure was tall, and his skin whiter then any could have thought possible. He wore a black suit, a black tie. However, he had no face. Oddly, the lack of so many features was his own defining feature. Many knew him, and he was the Slender Man.

As Der Ritter closed in on his prey, ready to disrupt his dreams, he stopped, noticing something quite... peculiar.

The boy's cloths were being torn asunder, blood spraying from his wounds, wounds that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Slender took the time to examine the room, and while he found many drawings of himself, he found that there were... other drawings as well. One of a man with a hat and very defined fingers... perhaps claws? They were dripping with blood, fire around him as he chased a smaller figure, presumably the boy.

Was someone else trying to take Slender's prey?

Slender Man, despite having no face in which to express emotion, twisted and tensed the muscles in his... Face... into one that would indicate that he was furious. Quickly, he reached his hand out to the boy, looked into his mind...

As Slender's vision came to him, he found himself in what seemed to be... A boiler room. One of immense size and filled with pipes and walkways. As he turned his faceless head around, he was met with the sight that he genuinely didn't expect to see.

The boy he had been following was running towards him, tears in his eyes, and being followed by a giant spider... With a warped, human-like face, cackling all the while.

"Oh, I'm real sorry Jimmy!" The spider called in a deep, raspy voice. "I won't lie, I was just trying to *string* you along!" He shouted, standing on his four back legs and firing a stream of webbing, catching the boy by his legs, and slowly pulled him in. "But now this itsy bitsy spider is gonna have a great big meal! HAHa- *GAAH!*" Before his sentence could have finished, the spider burst into flames, freeing the child from the webs in the process. The boy looked in shock, but quickly turned back around, and ran away from the burning spider.

"What the fuck!?" The arachnid screamed, before the flames died down to reveal a man wearing a red and green stripped sweater and a brown hat. His right hand wore a glove with a sharp claw at the end of all of his fingers, excluding the thumb. His face was burnt horribly though it was doubtful that the recent attack actually caused this. His teeth were crooked and slightly discolored as well. "Who the hell did that?" He growled, darting his eyes around, but quickly, his gaze fell on the Slender Man. "Huh, you're a bit scrawny, fella." He mumbled, tapping his chin with his un-gloved hand.

The child stopped as he realized he was mere feet from Slender Man. The boy recognized him, but didn't know where to go from here. Slowly, Slender reached out his hand, as if gesturing the child to come to him. And much to Freddy's surprise, the boy grabbed his hand, and walked to the tall figure's side.

"You've been taking my prey..." The child said, his voice distorted. "I am pleased to finally meet you, so that I may kill you." Suddenly, the boy let go of Slender's hand, and sat on the ground patiently. Freddy only laughed.

"You're here to kill me? HA! Listen, bitch, I make the rules around here. What I do here is the only thing that matters, and if you try to come in here, challenging me... You're as good as dead!" Freddy swung his clawed-hand out in a grand sweeping gesture, and as he did, the pipes began to leak steam, and the color of the room shifted to a bloody red color.

Freddy acted first, warping form his location and above Slender Man, aiming to send his clawed hand through the Operator's head! However, although Slender Man wasn't a huge fan of fighting, he still knew a few of the tricks. Just as the claws neared the faceless head, Freddy's eyes widened his wrist was grabbed by, of all things, a tendril that protruded from the Slender Man's back. With a hefty swing, Slender sent The Springwood Slasher sailing through the air. But he wasn't done yet.

Slender teleported just ahead of Freddy, and slammed his one tentacle into the child killer, slapping him to the ground. However, Freddy also teleported, and instead of crashing onto the floor, he appeared above Slender Man once more, and elbow dropped his head. The blow staggered the suit wearing entity, and the Dream Demon swung his claw out, slicing through the faceless killer's sleeve, and drawing a small droplet of black blood.

Slender summoned several tentacles from his back, eight in total, and changed his normal fingers into pointed spears. He swung at the Slasher, but it was all in vain.

"Damn! And I thought *Jason* was tough!" Freddy called, teleporting away from Slender Man and swinging his gloved hand... To fire off his own glove. Despite this, the glove remained on Freddy's hand, but several were sent flying at him. Slender simply stood still, and as the claws neared him, they just vanished into thin air.

"Huh, so you like magic tricks, do'ya?" Freddy quipped before drawing his hat off of his burned head, and in an instant, it turned into a magician's hat. "Well, I'm about to make a walking stick man... Disappear!" As he shouted this, Freddy pulled from his hat... Slender Man. Despite everything, Slender Man had appeared from the hat, and even the tall faceless bastard himself was confused. Without so much as acknowledging him, Freddy flipped the hat right-side-up and dumped Slender on the ground, only for the tall an to vanish once more.

"Running away, you skinny bitch?" Freddy called, grinning like mad. However, the grin was quickly wiped off his face... Along with his face from his head, as Slender Man reappeared beside him, scarping his pointed fingers across Freddy's face and cleaving it right off! Freddy's body slumped over, the hole where his face once was bleeding horribly. Slender slowly stood up normally, and held the face up so he could see it...

And he saw a steaming pepperoni pizza in place of a face.

Slender quizzically tilted his head, and dropped the pizza to the floor before turning back to Freddy's body, still lying there.

"Hey! What's the big idea leaving my face on the floor!" Freddy shouted, causing Slender Man to whip around and meet with the talking face of Krueger. Confused, Slender turned back to the body, only to see it standing with Krueger's face reattached. "Don't worry, I cleaned up the mess. You're a shitty house guest!" Krueger laughed, jamming his claws into Slender's leg!

However, Slender Man shot his arm forward, stabbing his elongated, spear-like fingers into Freddy's chest! Despite his efforts, his attack seemed to have no effect, and Freddy ripped his claws free from the entity's leg! Slender Man stepped back, but leaned his upper body forward, sending his eight tendrils out to stab Freddy. With each stab, the metal walk-way beneath them began to fall apart, and soon, the area between Freddy and Slender Man could only be made by jumping, assuming you were a normal man.

Freddy teleported behind Slender Man, quickly increasing the size of his claws and tearing through the walkway, causing Der Ritter to fall! However, it wasn't long at all before Slender Man teleported away from danger, and behind Freddy. As the Slasher turned, he was met with the sharpened ends of Slender's tendrils! Each one stabbing into him at a great pace, pulling free from Freddy's burnt flesh only to stab back into his body!

Soon, Slender Man wrapped his tendrils around Freddy's legs and began to slam him against the walls and walkway! After this, he wrapped one tendril around each limb, and one more around the Slasher's neck to silence his screams of rage, and slowly...

*RIIIIIIIP*

Freddy had been ripped into six pieces! Each part falling to the metal walkway with a dull thud, while his clawed hand clanged against the grating. For a moment, Slender Man stood still, and then slowly turned to the crying, terrified boy. However, despite everything, Slender Man felt something stab into each of his shoulders from behind. When he turned his head, he only saw Freddy grinning crazily.

"Welcome to my Nightmare..." Freddy whispered, and before Slender Man could even teleport away, he was hurled backwards, and as he flew back, a giant furnace appears, the door wide open! Slender flew inside, and as Freddy walked towards him, he waved his clawed hand at Slender, as if to say goodbye. Slender Man thrust his tendrils forward, but at the last moment, Freddy slammed the furnace door shut, ripping Slender Man's tendrils apart!

As the door closed, Freddy laughed uproariously. He laughed and laughed, and when he had finally calmed down, he turned to the little boy, grinning like the madman he was.

"Sorry, kid. Looks like our new pal just couldn't take the heat!" Freddy walked up to the kid, claws ready to tear into him. As he swung his hand downwards, the boy flinched, shutting his eyes...!

But the claws never came. He opened his eyes to see his hand shivering in place, as if something were holding him back. He tried to bring down his hand, but he just... couldn't.

"The fuck is this!?" The Springwood Slasher shouted, angrily glaring at his own hand. Suddenly, a noise caught his attention. The noise came from behind him and it... sounded oddly similar to... tearing metal.

Freddy's eyes widened, and when he turned around, he saw four tendrils poking through the door of the furnace, and suddenly, the door came right off! Much to his annoyance, Slender Man lived, and the flames... seemed to gravitate around him rather then burn him. Suddenly, Slender hurled the door at Freddy, and it struck the Dream Demon head-on! Still, Freddy grinned, and with his clawed hand, he quickly cut something into the door that had struck him.

"Hey asshole, catch!" Freddy shouted, hurling the door right back at the entity. Easily, Slender caught it, but he suddenly began to feel slightly weak. He flipped the door around, and much to his own annoyance, there was a circle with an "X" through it. The dreaded Operator symbol. Suddenly, when he turned his attention back to Freddy, Slender Man noticed that... There were a lot of Operator symbols around. He began to shake, but still stood.

"You may act like your invincible, Slendy. You think that if you act tough, people won't have to fight back. But you know what? Maybe if they just put in a little more effort, you wouldn't be as infamous as you are." Freddy said as he walked up, slowly, he began to laugh. "You're an odd one, whatever you are. But I can still find what makes you weak, and who knew it was just a silly little circle with an X in it?! HA!" Slender Man teleported away, just as Freddy swung his claws. Although he didn't finish the fight like he had hoped, he still managed to cut the bastard, as this was made evident by the extra black blood on his claws.

"I could very well say the same to you, Frederick." The child said, once again holding Slender Man's hand. Freddy turned and chuckled.

"What are you talking about? I am eternal, and you're not." Freddy replied, chuckling lightly. Slender Man and the boy simply shook their head, as if disappointed.

"You act like you're invincible in here. There is no being that can just do anything. Not even I can do some of what you have exhibited. All we have to do..." Slender trailed off, the boy closing his eyes, as if to relax.

"NO!" Freddy shouted, running towards Slender Man with his clawed hand extended.

"...Is to wake up." Slender finished, and just as Freddy was on him...

Freddy found himself landing on the ground with a thud. However, instead of hitting a metal walkway, he was met with a wood floor with a carpet right over it. That's when he realized...

Slender Man had ripped him from the Dream World.

Freddy looked up at Slender, and suddenly, he began to feel light headed. Still, he would let this get to him, as he teleported right above Slender and drove his claws downward, aiming to claw out the entity's brain, but he was just a little to slow.

Slender himself didn't act fast enough to teleport away, but he managed to move just slightly to the side, and let the blades pierce his shoulder! Slender shook from the attack, but stayed upright nonetheless. He teleported away, leaving Freddy to fall to the floor. Quickly, Slender Man grabbed the Dream Demon with his hands and threw him out of the window, glass shattering and wood splintering. Freddy hollered as he fell to the ground, and he hit with a dull thud.

Just as Slender Man went to go continue his fight, he turned to the child, who was awake and frightened, and looked along the ground. Suddenly, he grabbed some crayons and paper, handed them to the child, and "stared" at him for a moment. The child's eyes went blank, and he quickly went and began drawing something on the paper. Slender didn't stay with him, he needed to finish this.

Teleporting outside, he found that Freddy was just getting up. In an attempt to keep the monster away, Freddy began to fire several gloves from his hand, each with their own set of blades! Slender either lazily dodged them or swatted them away with his tendrils, though when he did the latter, cuts would form. Suddenly, Slender Man went from having only a handful of tendrils to dozens, and they all swarmed Krueger! In a panic, he teleported away! But when he reappeared, he found each tendril closing in on him! With his clawed glove, he attempted to parry the tendrils, but after successfully parrying the first, he felt several more cut his sides and legs.

"Damn it!" Freddy yelled, teleporting closer to Slender, and as he tried to strike him, Freddy felt himself grow weak, and he suddenly began to tremble. Slender slowly turned to meet his gaze, and when his body had fully turned to meet the Slasher...

Flames erupted around them, all of it tinted a deep crimson. At the sudden burst of flames, Freddy jumped a bit, and began to crawl away. And at this, Slender Man began to... laugh.

To Freddy, it was completely inhuman. It was all... distorted. It sounded so odd, and it hurt his ears. It was like hearing some insane noise through static on an old radio, and it just seemed to *echo*.

As the tendril surrounded the Slasher, blocking out the flames around him, Freddy instinctively closed his eyes...!

And then he no longer felt the heat of the fire. He opened up one eye, then his other. He found himself in a forest, and he had no idea as to how he had gotten here. He stood up, ready to strike at anything that so much as moved. He turned, ready to meet anything. He was surrounded by trees, and he knew that his foe could be hiding anywhere.

He backed up against a tree, and then he felt something odd press up against his head. He turned, adjusting his hat, and saw... a note. The paper itself looked old. It was hard to make out what was on it, though he could just make out some scribbles. He then held the note up in the moonlight, and his eyes widened in horror. He went into a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but read the note aloud...

"I played your game... Now you play mine..." Freddy muttered, and before he could even say the last word...

*RUN!*

Freddy jumped as he heard something scream at him, and when he turned, he saw the Slender Man. This time, Slender had several tentacles sprouting from his back, and around him...were several pale, seemingly dead children. The trees around them ignited, the color crimson once more. Slender sent his tendrils forward, and the headache suffering killer leapt to the side, narrowly dodging the attack, but the tree behind him was split clean in half! Freddy decided to heed the note's advice, and ran away from the scene! However, the fire only spread, lighting up the whole forest, and as he ran, Freddy could just make out what appeared to be tendrils moving towards him. He looked behind him, and he couldn't see Slender, but the tendrils themselves seemed to just come from all directions.

As he ran, he began to see the children impaled onto the branches of the tallest trees while simultaneously burning, though they seemed not to care. They all simply chanted one thing...

"Son of a hundred maniacs! Son of a hundred maniacs! Son of a hundred maniacs!" They called, and with each chant, Freddy growled in anger. Suddenly, he found a tendril wrapped around his leg, and was tripped, preventing him from moving any further. The chants got louder, and Freddy's anger only peaked.

"Dammit! Shut the fuck up!" He roared, slicing through the tentacle around his ankle. He stood up, but before he could continue running, he was stopped by none other then the Operator himself. He looked around, fire surrounding him, along with the chanting children. Slender Man took a step forward, though his body was covered in his own black blood. At this, Freddy's headache got far worse, and blood began to slowly leak from his mouth.

"What's wrong, Frederick? No more puns? No more attitude?" Slender Man asked, tilting his head as his static-like voice ringed through the air. "Or are you always this pathetic?" He asked, leaning forward as if to inspect his reaction.

"What are these things?!" Freddy shouted, gesturing to the kids around him.

"They're all my children, Frederick. And this is where they come to play..." Freddy, being blinded by his anger, leapt forward, despite his pain. His hat flew off, and he thrust his bladed hand forward, stabbing Slender in the chest, but just as he did, Slender pierced Freddy's with his left arm, tearing through his gut completely. The two stared at one another, and the chants began to die down as the flames consumed them both...

By morning, the fire fighters were to late. The fires had consumed all of the trees... All but one. It was strangely black with a clawed hand sticking out of it, although there was no body for the arm to belong to. At this point, a news reporter had finally gotten to the area. She stepped out of her van, along with her camera man, and they made their way to the tree. She turned to the camera, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Are we ready?" She asked, holding the mic up to her mouth so she could be heard by the viewers.

"Yup, looks like we're ready in 3, 2... And 1!" The camera man called.

"Hello, my name is Susan Crewgur, and we're at the Springwood forest, the very same one that was brunt down last night. There were no eye witnesses, and it is unknown as to how this fire started. However, last night, at around the time estimated to be when the fire started, parents in a home 2 miles away reported that their son, Jimmy Turner, had gone missing. Police officers speculate that his disappearance may relate to this very fire." She stopped, took a deep breath, and continued her report.

"However, police officers and forensic scientists seem to have trouble with one piece of evidence." Susan took a step to the side, revealing a shot of an arm with a clawed glove stuck int he blackened tree. "There was this arm stuck in the tree by a clawed glove, and it appears to be covered in an unknown or unspecified black substance. It should also be noted that the tree seen here is the only tree remaining, though it is not known how it survived." Suddenly, she could hear a ringing in her ear. When she glanced up, she could see her camera guy could hear it, too. "Hey, Mike, you hear that?"

"Yeah, stings like hell... What? The camera ain't workin'." He said, looking at what was being recorded. All that was there... Was static.

"What? What do you mean it isn't working?"

"I dunno! It jus-" Suddenly, the image reappeared, and Mike gave a sigh of relief. "It's workin', but the image is still has a bit of static... Wait, where the heck did the tree go!?" He hollered, pointing behind the news reporter.

"What?" She turned, only to see that it was true. The tree had vanished, the arm along with it. "Where did it go?! Mike, what's happeni-" She turned, and found the her co-worker, "Mike", had vanished. She couldn't believe this. Suddenly, the image on the camera went to static, and a female scream could be heard. Suddenly, the camera was pointed downwards as the image returned, though not without distorted audio and static in the image. This time, there was a young boy... Jimmy.

He looked at the camera, his eyes practically dead, and then, he spoke...

"One, two, Slender's coming for you...

Three, four, you can't hide anymore...

Five, six, He'll kill you for kicks...

Seven, eight, You can't avoid fate...

Nine, ten, can't run from Slender Man..." That was all that he said, vanishing from view, and the camera stopped rolling.
