DEATH BATTLE

Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me. All properties belong to Hasbro, Wes Craven, and Screwattack!

"Dreams. A realm in which anything is possible," Wiz begins.

"And today, two characters who can manipulate the dreams of others will be entering the arena," Boomstick said.

"Princess Luna, ruler of the night."

"And Freddy Krueger, the Springwood Slasher."

"He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick,"

"... And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle!"

Luna:

+Alicorn Princess

+Has Lived for thousands of years

+Incredible magical and physical strength

+Can control dreams

-Excessive dream magic can put intense strain on her

"One thousand years ago, two Alicorn sisters ruled over Equestria. Celestia ruled over the day, while Luna ruled over the night," Wiz started.

"But Luna became jealous of her sister and turned into Nightmare Moon, trying to overthrow Celestia and plunge the planet into eternal night. So her sister used the Elements of Harmony and sent Luna's ass to the moon for one thousand years. After she escaped, she was cleansed by the new Element Bearers and turned back into Princess Luna," said Boomstick.

"Once she regained her strength and apologized to her sister, Luna went back to her duty of protecting Equestrian citizens from nightmares."

Abilities:

+Magical telekinesis, teleportation, force fields, beams, blasts, spells, flight, weather manipulation, and dream walking

+Thousands of years of experience

+Strong enough to crack the ground

+Royal Canterlot Voice

+Control over dreams

+Can see into the past and future of dreamers

-Can lose control over dreams if the opponent's strength is on par with hers (Tantabus)

-While immense, her magic is limited

"Luna's magical strength is incredible, even rivaling that of Celestia's. And inside the world of dreams she can take complete control and even create joined dreams."

"The Royal Canterlot Voice can render opponents deaf, she can crack stone without even trying, and can use her mind to look into the past and future of dreamers. In dreams, she's practically invincible!"

"Well, no. Even though her strength is impressive, she still has a limit on her magic, and excessive dream linking has tired her out before. She also lost control of the Tantabus, an entity which she created, which means opponents similar to her can overpower her in a dream."

"Regardless, this is one pony who you don't want to piss off."

"Do your worst."

Freddy Krueger:

+Serial killer

+Impressive fighter

+Creative killer

+Can manipulate dreams and kill dreamers

-Cocky, likes to toy with his victims before killing

-Can only grow stronger with the power of his victim's souls and fear

-Minor fear of fire

-Says "bitch" a lot

"Freddy Krueger was born to Amanda Krueger after she was raped by one hundred inmates of an insane asylum. When he reached adulthood, Freddy created the iconic bladed glove as a weapon of murder."

"But after getting off the hook due to an error in the justice system, the parents of the victims burned down Freddy's house, with him still inside. But before he died, he struck a deal with three dream demons to become their agent, and was granted immortality."

"Ever since then, Freddy has gleefully tormented and killed the children of Elm Street."

Abilities:

+Bladed glove

+Complete control over dreams

+Possession

+Above average durability and fighting prowess in the real world

+Has yet to be permanently killed

+Expert at figuring out the fears of others

-Vulnerable in the real world

MK9 Moves:

+Teleportation

+Freddy Fingers (sends a duplicate of his glove flying at his opponent)

+X-ray (cracks ribs and skull)

+Hell Spike (four large blades erupt from the ground)

+Sweet dreams (dazes opponent momentarily)

+Fatalities: Welcome to my Nightmare. Tell 'em Freddy sent ya.

"In the dream realm, Freddy has complete control, killing lucid dreamers without breaking a sweat."

"And since Freddy's a prick, he can possess others and use them as his puppets in the real world. He can easily figure out an opponent's fears and is happy to exploit them, and he even participated in a Mortal Kombat tournament."

"But he is not unstoppable. He can be dragged into the real world where he is vulnerable, which is how he has been defeated several times in the movies. He was also defeated by Jason Voorhees in the real world, but only because of outside intervention."

"Not to mention that he loves toying with his opponents, which can give them the time they need to escape. But this prick STILL hasn't been permanently killed off, even though he lost the dream demons!"

"Welcome to my Nightmare."

"Alright, the combatants are set, it's time to end this debate once and for all."

"It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!"

Dear Princess Celestia,

Something's wrong with Sweetie Belle! She keeps tossing and turning and screaming, and she won't wake up no matter how hard we try! Random cuts keep appearing on her body, please help! Send Princess Luna!

From, Twilight Sparkle and Spike the Dragon.

Luna read over the letter that her sister had handed her, and quickly got to her hooves. She would not let anypony hurt the young unicorn she had befriended! In a flash she had teleported into the Carousel Boutique, the home of Sweetie Belle's sister. Rarity, Spike, and Twilight tore their eyes away from the thrashing Sweetie Belle to look at the newly-arrived Princess of the Night.

"Oh thank goodness! Please help my sister Princess Luna!" Rarity said through her tears.

"Do not worry Element of Generosity, I will rid your sister of whatever ails her," Luna said. She charged up her magic and prepared to enter Sweetie's dreams.

"Good luck Princess. ...Please help her," said Spike, who was staring at Sweetie with concern evident in his eyes.

Luna looked at Sweetie and then back to Spike. She gave him a knowing smile. "Don't worry young Spike, I'll save your friend." She turned back to Sweetie and fired a white strand of magic at her head, entering the young unicorn's dreams.

In the dream realm...

Luna found herself in some kind of boiler room, full of hissing metal pipes that gave off small amounts of steam. She heard a scream of terror coming from just around the corner.

She bolted in the direction of her friend, and found the source of the problem.

A man wearing a striped sweater and fedora, his face horribly burnt, was holding the sobbing filly by her neck with his free hand, while holding a bladed glove right at her throat.

"It's been fun squirt, but I'm afraid it's time to-GAH!" Freddy was blasted into a wall by a blast of magic, courtesy of one very ticked-off Luna.

"Princess Luna!" Sweetie called out in relief, running over to give a hug of gratitude to her savior. "Thank goodness, I was certain he was going to...going to-!"

"Shh. Don't worry young one, you're safe now," Luna cooed, wrapping her wings around the filly.

"Safe? HAHAHAHAHA!" Freddy's laugh echoed through the boiler room, causing Sweetie Belle to grasp Luna tightly. "You're never safe in my world." The Springwood slasher walked out of the shadows and gave Luna a chilling grin.

The Princess of the Night narrowed her eyes at the serial killer, fully prepared to destroy him. "As Princess of the Night, I command you to torment this filly no longer. Be gone, demon!"

"Oh, so scary! HAHAHAHA!" Freddy cackled, infuriating Luna further.

"He didn't disappear. Looks like I'll have to deal with this demon myself," Luna thought. She lowered Sweetie Belle down to the floor. "Go and have your wounds treated, I'll deal with your tormentor." She lit up her horn and touched it to Sweetie's forehead, causing her to wake up.

Freddy snarled. "She was my prey!"

Luna gave him a glare that would cause any normal man to shake in fear. "You will not refer to my little ponies as your prey! In the name of Equestria, we shall purge you from the dream realm!"

Freddy was not intimidated in the slightest, he was actually amused by the Princess's threat. "Oh! I'm shaking in my boots!" Freddy said with a laugh. "Listen up bitch, this is my world. If you think I'm going to be defeated by some two-bit horse princess, then think again bitch!"

Luna growled menacingly, charging up her horn in preparation to blast Freddy into oblivion.

Freddy grinned, running his claws along the metal wall beside him.

FIGHT!

Luna took to the air with a flap of her wings and sent a blast of green energy at the dream demon. Freddy yawned and stepped to the side, letting the beam pass by him.

Luna shot another blast at him, hitting his gloved arm, severing the limb from his body.

"No! Not my arm!" Freddy yelled.

Luna followed up with another blast that took his other arm off.

Freddy fell to the ground, screaming overdramatically as he writhed on the floor.

"Hmph, where is your confidence now?" Luna said, believing she had won. She landed in front of him, prepared to finish the fight.

Freddy stopped yelling and got to his feet, grinning like the madman he was. In a flash, his limbs regenerated, sweater and all. Luna barely had time to gape before he delivered a hard right hook to her jaw, knocking her back a few feet.

"Welcome to my nightmare," he whispered.

Luna charged another blast, but Freddy was having none of that. He thrust his hand out, sending the Alicorn flying into some of the pipes, which promptly broke. Before Luna could recover, Freddy had lifted her up in his telekinetic grasp and slammed her into a wall. He then slammed her into the ceiling. He continued to throw her around like a ragdoll, relishing in her grunts of pain.

Luna teleported in front of Freddy, her eyes glowing white with power. "Enough! I refuse to be subjected to your-!" Luna was never able to finish her sentence on account of the large boiler fell on top of her.

"Thanks for the laughs bitch, but It's time for me to pay another visit to that cute little unicorn." Freddy began to walk away, but didn't get far on account of the large boiler being thrown at him.

Freddy got to his feet and turned around, seeing an enraged Luna now sporting dark blue armor. "You will not leave this dream alive!" She conjured up a double-edged sword. "En Guard!"

She shot forward and swung her sword, cleaving him in half. Luna didn't stop there, and swung her sword at blinding speed, cutting Krueger to pieces.

The pieces rose from the floor and reformed into an annoyed Freddy Krueger.

"Why you-!" Luna impaled him through his chest and threw him into one of the walls, pinning him there. She shot a large wave of magic at him, incinerating both him and the sword.

Luna didn't let her guard down, poised to strike if he were to re-appear. As expected, Krueger appeared behind her in a plume of fire. He raised his bladed glove in preparation to strike. Luna lashed out with a viscous buck to his stomach, sending him flying into the opposite wall.

Luna turned to face Freddy as he got to his feet, his grin replaced with a deep scowl.

"That actually hurt. Lucid dreamer, huh?" Freddy said, his smile reappearing in all its dark glory. "You wouldn't be the first."

Luna shot a burst of magic at him, but Freddy pulled a handheld mirror from behind his back and deflected the blast back at her. It hit her square in the face, dazing her for a short moment.

Freddy took advantage of this brief distraction and teleported directly in front of her. He swung his glove in an upward slash, cutting a large cut into her cheek. Freddy thrust his claws into her chest, piercing the armor and breaking some of her ribs, he followed up with another slash at her face, cracking her jaw and sending her flying.

Luna fought through the pain and spread her wings, stopping her descent to the floor. Freddy jumped closer to her. His glove was surrounded by a sickly green glow as he swung it downward, summoning a green blob of magic that hit her head, dazing her. He took this second opportunity to grab her shoulders.

He lifted one of his blades up to his mouth. "Shh." Freddy spun her around and drove his blades into her back, causing her to yell in pain. Freddy hefted her up and threw her to the side like a ragdoll.

"Hehe. Aw, does it hurt? Don't worry, you won't be hurting for much longer," Freddy taunted. "When you get to hell, tell em' Freddy sent ya, bitch."

He raised his hand, causing a large furnace to come out of the ground. The door opened by itself, revealing the intense flames inside. Freddy stabbed her and threw her into the furnace. Luna screamed in pain as the flames ate away at her skin. Freddy waved at her with his bladed glove, as if he was saying goodbye. She tried to stumble out of the furnace, only for Freddy to slam the metal door in her face.

Freddy thrust his hands up in victory, but yelled in pain as something pierced his shoulder. Freddy turned to see a pony-bat hybrid digging its teeth into his burnt skin. Soon, another bit down on his other shoulder, two more clamped down on his legs, three got his arms, and the final one bit his neck. To top it off, one more thestral guard appeared behind him and impaled him with a spear.

The furnace exploded, revealing a fully healed Luna. She examined her work as Freddy let out a scream of pain and rage.

"I am no mere lucid dreamer. I control the dream realm. Here, I am a goddess! You may have caught me by surprise demon, but now I will send you to Tarturus where you belong!" Luna said, preparing another spell.

Freddy teleported out of the thestrals' grasp. He snapped his fingers, and a hole in the ground opened up underneath the hybrids. Before they could fly out of it, the hole closed up, swallowing Luna's backup.

Freddy had just looked up when a blast of magic tore through his chest. He merely looked annoyed as the wound closed up instantly.

"You call that power? HAH! You are nothing compared to me," Freddy said, scraping his blades along the wall.

"I have yet to see proof of that, demon," Luna said. "But I am a goddess here! I can see into your past, I can know in an instant how to kill you!" She charged up her magic... but nothing happened.

"What!? I cannot read you!" Luna exclaimed.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Nice try Luna, but you don't scare me!" Freddy snapped his fingers and the two of them appeared in the Canterlot throne room.

"Wha-? How do you-?!"

"Resist?" Freddy finished for her. "I control this realm. But I find it funny that you call yourself a goddess when you can't even save a few fillies, Princess Luna."

Luna growled in fury. "We've had it with thee Krueger, now you shall-!"

"Or should I call you Nightmare Moon?"

Luna froze, her eyes widening at the mention of her evil self.

Freddy's smile widened to unnatural proportions. "Did you ever realize that eternal night would wipe out all life on the planet? Did you know that, or were you just stupid?"

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" Luna shouted in her Royal Canterlot Voice. She fired an intense wave of raw magical energy at Freddy, completely destroying the section of the floor he had been standing on.

"You say you're redeemed, that you're a new pony, but you can never erase your past," said a voice that was very familiar to Luna.

Luna turned around slowly, coming face to face with the sharp-toothed smile of Nightmare Moon. "B-But, you're dead! The elements purged you from my body!"

"As I said Luna, you cannot erase who you once were." Nightmare Moon blasted Luna with her magic, sending her crashing through the wall, back into the boiler room.

She got to her hooves and looked up, seeing that the hole she had formed to get to the boiler room was gone.

"Luna..." A raspy voice said from behind her. Luna spun around and nearly vomited at what she saw. The bodies of Applebloom and Scootaloo were hanging from  barb-wired rope that wrapped around their necks. Their eyes were gone, replaced with pitch black voids which leaked tears. Their bodies were ripped open, giving her a perfect view of the fillies' intestines, and a small trickle of blood came out of their mouths.

"Why didn't you save us Luna..? Why did you let him kill us..?" the body of Scootaloo whispered.

"No..." Luna muttered, backing away from the talking corpses.

"Because of you, we're dead. And once he kills you, Sweetie Belle will join us too," Applebloom wheezed.

"No...No!" Luna exclaimed, tears pouring out of her eyes.

"One, two, Freddy's coming for you..." Applebloom and Scootaloo sang in unison.

"Three, four, better lock your door..." sang another group of familiar voices behind her. She spun around to see the corpses of the Mane Six in the same state as Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"No...please no," Luna whimpered.

"Five, six, grab your crucifix..." sang the butchered and bloodied bodies of Spike and Pipsqueak from her left.

"Stop...PLEASE!" she pleaded.

"Seven, eight, gonna stay up late..." sang the decapitated head of Sweetie Belle to her right.

"STOP IT!" Luna screamed desperately.

"Nine, ten, never sleep again," they all sang in unison.

Luna shut her eyes tightly and sobbed as she pressed her hooves against her ears to keep from hearing that horrible song. All was silent for a while, and she cautiously opened her eyes.

...To see she was now on the surface of the moon.

By this point, she was so afraid and frantic that the thought of trying to manipulate the dream never even occurred to her. As far as she was concerned, this was no longer a dream...

...this was Hell.

"H-Hello?" she called out, receiving no response to her cries. "IS ANYONE THERE?!" Luna shouted in her Royal Canterlot Voice.

"Luna." The Princess of the Night froze once more, before she hesitantly turned around to look her elder sister in the face.

"I'm disappointed in you sister," Celestia said with a frown, her sharp gaze piercing through whatever willpower Luna still had. "You betrayed me, tried to kill me twice, almost destroyed the kingdom a second time after you returned, frightened an entire town because you were out of touch with the times, slept while Canterlot was attacked by changelings, and couldn't even save a few ponies in the very realm you claim to control."

"Sister..." Luna sobbed, trying with all her might to not cry a second time.

"And because of your incompetence...you couldn't save me either," Celestia finished.

Luna was about to ask what her sister meant before Celestia's head fell off of her body, her neck shooting fountains of blood out of it. She screamed a hellish scream filled with grief as her sister's body spontaneously burst into flames.

"You really are pathetic Luna," the voice of Freddy Krueger echoed from all sides. "It would be better if you died, no one will miss you, you have nothing left to live for."

Luna felt anger well up inside her upon hearing the voice of the Springwood Slasher. "KRUEGER!!!"

"Well it ain't Dr. Seuss," Freddy said from behind her. She spun around and received a powerful uppercut that launched her high into the air. Freddy jumped up to the Alicorn's body and dug his blades into her back, swung her around, and threw her at Equestria, which was directly in front of them.

Luna shot through the atmosphere and hurtled towards the ground at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash jealous. She tried to spread her wings to slow her descent, but the speed was so great that it did nothing.

Right before she hit the ground, Freddy dressed up as a professional baseball player hit her in the side of the head with a baseball bat, sending her hurtling into a scoreboard, electrocuting her with more electricity than an actual scoreboard would.

"Another amazing home run hit by MDB Champion Freddy Krueger!" Freddy's voice announced over the loudspeaker. The stadium full of Freddy duplicates applauded loudly as baseball Freddy bowed at the audience.

"ENOUGH GAMES!!!" Luna yelled in the Royal Canterlot Voice, destroying the scoreboard with her telekinesis. She shot a beam of magic at Freddy that was so intense that it would disintegrate anything it touched. After that, she lifted the remains of the scoreboard up with her telekinesis and threw it at the crater she had made. She followed up by lifting the entire stadium out of the ground and throwing it on top of the scoreboard.

Luna heard the sound of slow clapping behind her and turned around to see Freddy wearing that same repulsive smile.

"Looks like the bitch still has some fight left in her," Freddy taunted. "But it doesn't matter, you've given me enough power to kill you. While this has been fun, I would really like to collect a few more souls before the sun comes up."

"Do not act like you are invincible, demon. It is true that you have exhibited powers beyond even mine, but that still doesn't change that all I have to do..." Luna said.

Deciding that he would have to end the fight now, he willed his blades to grow to the length of swords and jumped at Luna, intending to add her soul to his collection.

At the last second, Luna teleported behind Freddy and grabbed him.

"...Is to wake up," Luna finished, pulling Freddy into the real world with her.

In the Real World...

Luna and Freddy tumbled out of the bed Luna had previously been laying on.

"Shit!" Freddy muttered as he got to his feet.

"You may be more powerful in the Dream Realm, but you are weak in the real world," Luna said, lifting Freddy off the ground with her telekinesis.

Even faced with the possibility of death, Freddy still smirked. "I think you'll find I'm anything but weak, bitch." Luna prepared to rip him apart, but Freddy disappeared in a burst of fire before she could.

"What?! I thought he was powerless!" Luna thought, frantically looking around for her opponent.

Freddy appeared a short distance behind her, taunting her with, "Over here asshole!"

Luna turned around in a flash and shot a highly potent spell at him, but Freddy had already disappeared. He reappeared a few yards away from her and jammed his blades into the ground. Four large blades shot out of the ground underneath Luna, cutting large cuts into her legs.

Luna yelled out in agony and took to the air, barely avoiding the same attack again.

Freddy thrust his gloved hand at her, sending a copy of his signature weapon flying at her. Luna grabbed the copy in her telekinesis and threw it back at Krueger, but he had vanished once again.

He reappeared under her. He thrust his bladed glove downward, surrounding it in a sickly green glow. A green blob of magic came down from the sky and hit Luna on the head. While she was sill dazed, Freddy sent two copies of his glove flying at her and jumped up to get a few attacks on her as well. As Luna recovered, he teleported once more.

Luna was furious, she would not stand for Freddy's cheap tricks. When Freddy reappeared to hit her with another ranged attack, she grabbed him in her telekinesis and slammed him on the floor over, and over, and over until the floor broke.

Luna teleported to the first floor of the Carousel Boutique without wasting a second. She poured all of her magic into a single orb of magic.

"DIE DEMON!!!" Luna yelled as she shot the giant orb at Freddy, who screamed in pain as he was disintegrated by the attack.

Luna breathed heavily as she looked around at the damage she had caused. "What a mess we have made, I do hope miss Rarity will forgive me."

K.O.!

"Damn, that battle was awesome!" Boomstick shouted.

"Indeed. While Freddy certainly put up a good fight, Luna ultimately claimed victory. Even though neither could best the other in the dream realm, Luna easily took this fight in the real world," Wiz commented.

"Well duh! Even with his moves from MK9, Freddy was still no match for Luna's magic in the real world," said Boomstick.

"Trying to decide who had better control of the dream realm was a bit of a tossup, but this question was answered in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? In it, Luna lost control over the Tantabus, an entity that SHE created specifically to torment HER, but she ended up losing control over it after dreaming about the Mane 6. And while she might have regained control over it at the end of the episode, the fact remains that she lost control over it. While Freddy has never lost control of one of his dreams," Wiz explained.

"But Boomstick! Freddy has been defeated by teenagers! And what about Jason? He lost control of him!" Boomstick whined, imitating potential commenters.

"Well, Freddy has always been defeated because of outside circumstances. Whether it be outside help, a proper burial in the real world, or even some BS plot device. And Jason was not created by Freddy, Jason was only tricked by Freddy, while Tantabus was created by Luna. Not to mention that Luna has a whole plethora of fears for Freddy to exploit, fears that he is an expert of figuring out. Freddy could also jump from dream to dream and gain a lot of power from the fears and souls of other ponies, eventually getting more than enough power to best Luna in the realm of dreams. Also, it has never been shown that Luna could see into the past and future of beings like Freddy, so we cannot say for sure that Luna would even be able to figure out ways that Krueger has been defeated. So it's safe to say that Freddy would win if this fight stayed in the dream realm," Wiz explained.

"But Luna was likely to wise up after getting her ass kicked by Freddy for awhile, which would likely happen since Freddy would be all too eager to toy with the Alicorn Princess. Once in the real world, Luna would completely destroy Freddy," Boomstick finished.

"And if we decided to add Nightmare Moon and Tantabus to the battle, then it would only be fair to give Freddy the Dream Demons and Necronomicon: Ex Mortis, resulting in a battle that we honestly don't know the result of," Wiz said.

"In the end, Freddy could only dream of victory," Boomstick quipped.

"The winner is Princess Luna."
