"Carrie, wait up!" David yelled. Carrie walked past the VW Bus and continued on towards the road, the only light coming from the bright moon, which bathed them both in an eerie glow. David ran across the icy surface to catch up with Carrie, grabbing her by the shoulder and whirling her around to face him.

"Let go, David!" she screamed, forcefully brushing his arm away. David tried again, but she shoved him away!

"Carrie, hold on-" David said, trying to stop Carrie from hitting him. Carrie got in a few more smacks, but eventually wore herself out and broke into tears, burying herself in his arms.

"What are we going to do, David?" Carrie shouted. "It doesn't matter if we're awake or asleep! We're fucked either way!"

"I'll tell you what we're not going to do," David said. "We're not going to roll over and let these fuckwads kill us off one-by-one!" He grabbed Carrie's hands and gripped them tightly. "Too many people have died already, and if that Freddy fucko has that book, then more people are going to die! Unless we stop them!"

"And how do you propose we do that?" Carrie asked angrily. "Freddy has the book, and he might as well be a god now!"

"Carrie, listen to yourself," David shouted as he grabbed Carrie's shoulders. "You're talking like you're giving up! I get it, I really do! Seeing Raoul die like that makes me want to just go crawl in a hole, but we can't give up! Not now! Ash can destroy that book, but he needs us to help him stop those bastards before they bring down Armageddon on all of us!"

Tears streamed down Carrie's face as she realized David was right. If they sat back and did nothing, Freddy and Jason would both be free to rack up a body count unlike anything ever seen before.

"So, what are we gonna do, David?" Carrie asked, drying her eyes. "Obviously, we need to get that book back. How do we do that?"

A smug smile crossed David's face. "We're gonna lay down the Holy Hand of God on these Unholy motherfuckers!"

Freddy walked through the vortex and stepped out into Jason's cabin!

"Ah-hahahahaha! That felt great!" Freddy roared, stretching his arms out as if he had just rolled out of bed. "That ought to shake up those brats a little!"

Freddy walked over to the altar where the Jason stood next to the open Necronomicon. Freddy picked up the book and turned to Jason.

"Listen up, Gimpy!" Freddy said with a sneer as he pointed his clawed finger at the masked killer. "Here's where you're going to make yourself useful! It seems we have a self-proclaimed hero among our prey! He's on his way here to stop us and get the book!"

Freddy walked over to Jason and tapped his mask. "I need you to take your rotted, momma's boy corpse out there and slaughter them all when they show!"

Jason nodded and began arming himself. As he turned to leave, Freddy stopped him by tapping him on the shoulder. "Take out this Ash Williams character first if you can. If he finds the book, everything falls apart!"

Jason nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the cabin.

"Now get out there and do some killing. I've got some heavy reading to do. Ah-hahahahahaha!"

"There's nothing you could have done, Carrie," Ash said as he drove the VW Bus down the road leading to S-Mart. "This Krueger fucker is some kind of demon that hunts kids in their sleep."

Carrie sat in the passenger's seat, still reeling over Raoul's brutal death. Jarvis, Jake, and David sat in the second row, cramped like sardines. Everyone was feeling bad about leaving Raoul in the apartment without calling the cops, but they had more important things to attend to, like finding out how to deal with Freddy and Jason.
